Derm Reacts to a Tretinoin Routine  

Is this cream helpful for deep ice pick scars???

@@Allinone-wk5vd It does help with acne scars so I imagine it could help with that. I don’t know how well it would work on a deep scar though.

​@@leah8894which brand you use

Everyone sying "upgrade" is it sth you should start using only after using retinol for a period of time first? I mean, as someone who never used retinol but i want to, should I just go for tretinol as i see positive feedback about it here

Better use retinol and get slow and good result instead of tetrinoin

@@bhuvanesh945 why is that? My retinol also.

@@klioon8611 tetrinoin is strong Retinol is mild power

@@bhuvanesh945 thank you.

Make sure your face is dry especially after your shower/bath . Try a layer of face oil (jojoba’s good) first than tretinoin than moisturizer.

Hi, which low dose azelaic acid do you use. I mean which brand and what percentage? Thanks in advance!

so don't use an AHA in the same routine but on a different night you're nit using retionoid you can! :)

@@waterashwagandha3 I don’t use Retnoids , I have dry scaly skin and texture and someone told me lactic acid will help , so I want to try it but I’m chicken

If you have sensitive skin avoid using tret with lactic acid , it’s either one or the other , just avoid tret for now until your skin adjusts to exfoliation I recommend glycolic acid it’s really good as well but if ur a beginner then get it a low percentage

@@lisagardner4814lactic acid is pretty gently. just start using it 2-3 times per week at night and see how it goes. I wouldn’t put it on over moisturizer.

@@jackiep2042 I know this will sound stupid but how do you apply it and someone told me to put it on over moisturizer to act as a buffer but I think that might make it penetrate deeper wouldn’t it? I’ve never used to chemical exfoliation, so I’m kind of nervous, but the texture of my skin is pretty bad.

Use cream based instead of gel, it's less harsh.

Because when you mix it then some parts will have more tret than others.

Hmmm facial hair, do you have pcos that might be causing the facial hair? Never heard of tret causing facial hair growth but most likely that would be hormonal

​@@ManEatsPants hii. if u google tretinoin and hair growth you will see some findings about this. one study found that tretinoin helped simulate somehair regrowth in 58% of the subjects. op could be one of these cases

I do at night. Cleanse, nicinamide, Trentinoin, moisturizer.

@babyhyokello we've got to keep using it , the purging will stop , Remember go low( Tretinoin) and slow 1-2 times a week ❤❤❤

Been wondering the same thing.

yes :) i also do the sandwich method with benzoyl peroxide gel

@@hallehuckleberry Okay. Thank you for your response😊

​@heeeq0 3-5mins

yeah I have sensitive skin and it helped me not purge 🤭🤞🤞

I still have some dry flakes around my mouth tho (on my smile lines and chin)

i think it depends on what type of toner it is

@@aline8576 it’s a natural rice toner. Just homemade “rice water”😊

Retinol bassicaly peels thin layer of yr old skin each time you use it. New skin is much more photosensitive. So yeah, its better looking and worth it only with sunscreen, otherwise yll be triple times more in danger with only retinol and not using sun protection. In another words: choose sun or wrinkles but not both 😅

Yes

Try any ceramide+hyaluronic acid moisturizers! I live in a different part of the world so can't really give you brand names.

Cerave (the cream in tube) its soooooo good makes my skin plump and dewy

Cerave x

PETER THOMAS ROTH WATER DRENCH MOISTURIZING CLOUD CREAM!! Love this stuff!!

Tret burns my neck like hell even if I follow sandwich method

@@sarbajayabanerjee6425 Fair enough!

I use it every night. Just the basic vanicream then tret. Never had break outs and my skin looks clearer with glow.

i do that and then the sandwich method

​@@maddie2339what's a bp cleanser ? ❤

No!

No, too much.

Your doctor needs to prescribe it for you. You would get it from the pharmacy like any other prescription med..

she did it before applying so no need after.

no she didn’t forget to apply moisturizer afterwards don’t worry

​@@iexistunderkaeyasfeet3810but she's doing the "sandwich" method. That's sandwiching the Tretinoin between two layers of moisturizer. She even says this in the video..."both before and after".

You should be using tret at night so no need for spf but 💯 you should be using SPF in morning anyway, but ESPECIALLY when using tretinoin

@@sewsed My age is 26. Do I need to use tret? How many time a day and how many days a week should I use tret? And is it ointment type or gel or cream? Please tell me sister

@@bloodygirl6912 no harm to use it I wish I discovered it at 26!!!! Keeps your skin lovely 😀 I would start very very veryyyy slow. Probably start with a 0.025 once a week for few weeks, then if your skin ok with increase to twice a week. At night only and definitely wear SPF every single day without fail this is very very important! Gradually increase till you can use daily if you wish, or one day on one day off or whatever your skin tolerates. Don’t push it honestly your skin will know how much it can handle forcing it will cause massive issues. If your skin is ok with that use up that tube and move on to the next strength and do the same again working your skin up to more frequent use. You may peel a bit to start with I was fine with that and it stopped once I adjusted. But if you don’t want the peeling just slow it down a bit. Never put on eyelids and be careful under eyes; some can but I can’t use it here, I have a gentle eye cream with retinol for the under eye. Also don’t use AHA/BHA on evening you use tret. I learned the hard way!!! Make sure you have a lovely rich moisturiser for evenings you use tret. Good luck don’t rush, no need to rush your a spring chicken lol.. go very very slow used correctly it’s an amazing ingredient for your skin x

@@bloodygirl6912 I don’t know where you live but you can’t buy over the counter in uk. I get mine on holiday. Spain, turkey, Cyprus other places sell if you know someone going away. But there are places to get it online I think - you can source it -google retin A-uk. (Or google retin-a and country you live)It’s a cream in a tube. You only need a pea size amount it lasts ages. I’ve never purchased in uk.

@@sewsed Thank you so much dear sis for your kind information. Can I talk with you on Facebook or WhatsApp? I would really like to talk with you. You know many things about skin. I need your little help some time. How can I get you my sis?

that's a purging phase ..be consistent it will heal❤😊

@@shinchanji543 thankyou

Some cream based tretinoin formulas have comedogenic ingredients, do check :)

@@rahiekg sahi hogye clear hogyi skin purging normal h

Yes but you need to make sure you don’t use it everyday to avoid irritation. 2-3 times daily should be fine
