@SilleeMee ...I just checked the site you mentioned.   Seems this retino A is more for acne prone skin and can be very drying.  I dont have acne, or oily skin...my skin is normal, and no break outs, but I'm afraid of anything too drying.  Thanks for your suggestions though🙂

They make two kinds. One is a gel, usually good for oily skin. The other one is a cream and that one is recommended for normal/dry skin types. Most Retin A products will be drying...that's just how it is unfortunately.

@SilleeMee ,  I may like the cream version...but I don't see an ingredient list.  Any way you know of that I can read ingredients....appreciate, thanks!!

@goldensrbest 

I have used these pads. I think they are very good. You get 60 pads in the jar. They contain both AHA and BHA in one. I used them a couple times a week, sometimes more. I don't use them now but I recommend them for anyone who would like to try a combo acid peel like that one. Find them at SkinMedix dot com. Shipping is always free, no minimum.
