After the age of 15-16 years, retinol, DMAE

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

According to me, these firming lotions should not be used in children. They can be used after the age of 15-16 years. You can go for products containing Retinol and Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE).

I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.

Dr. Asmeet
