If you have a question on the subject of collagen loss. This blog post nails it in totality. It is short and to the point and is right on with its recommendations.
I will admit that my mentor and teacher, Dr. Terezakis can be a little retinoid myopic (i.e. use a retinoid for life and collagen loss won't be an issue). However, the reality is that most of us sin as children and want to clean up the effects as adults.
I think that that is the world view of most American's and we as skin care professionals need to advise accordingly. Therefore, if you need to pay for the sins of your past, sometimes more aggressive measures are needed and that is where other treatments (besides retinoids) are needed.
