I started using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair about 3 years ago, I had a lot of dryness and irritation from that because it was the first retinoid I'd ever used. I soon after learned how to properly care for my skin while using a retinoid and started using Adapalene (thanks to you Dr Dray!); I did experience a little bit of flaking, dryness and redness from it but it quickly went away and I learned how often I could use the adapalene and eased into. it. I never did have a horrible purging episode. Now I can use adapalene almost every night without concern and I've been using adapalene for going on 3 years. TODAY I'm switching to tretinoin!! I'm both nervous and excited, wondering how my skin will react to this new and stronger retinoid. My skin definitely looks better 3 years later and I'm excited to see how it improves in the future!!

Just make sure to consult with your dermatologist. You need a prescription and they will give you a small dose first and work your way up when you and they fell comfortable with it. My face actually gets extremely dry if you don’t apply a good moisturizer on your skin during your tretinoin routine. So beware of skin shedding. I’ve currently just discovered the best moisturizer for me which was cerave moisturizer. (I started with more expensive brands, but had I known that cerave would be a good fit, I would’ve just used it ever since. Could’ve saved me a lot of money.) So try to do tretinoin and moisturizer after. Or do a sandwich: moisturizer, tretinoin, and another moisturizer on top to stop drying.

@@Selonie my purge is usually very deep skin and some skin peeling. It just means that I need to moisturize more. It only lasted a week because I would apply moisturizer every few hours when I felt a bit dry again. Yours is different but you need to apply spf every two hours on your face btw. Tretinoin makes your skin sensitive because you are having a skin turnover. The skin is extra sensitive because it’s new. If you have makeup on, there are many spf powders available and you can apply that instead. I would recommend spf 30+ or more. I use spf 45. Good luck!

It took me a year, but I love it. My dermatologist recommended Trentinoin to me for my acne and scars. I am 23 years old with PCOS. I only had faced one purged during the first 3 months. I purchased a compounding moisturizer called Vanicream, and mixed a little bit of the moisturizer in with the Trentinoin and started by only applying it once a week. The next month, I applied it twice a week, and so on until I started becoming able to use it everyday. Then my goal was to take out the compounding moisturizer and only use moisturizer at night. This was when I saw the biggest difference. I almost never wear makeup now. My scars color has drastically became more flesh and even some pits have became less. My pores are much smaller. But it’s also great for other things. For example, I had surgery last summer that left me with a nasty red keloid scar right above my pubic bone. One day I had the epiphany that maybe trentinoin would work on that too. So I started applying it on the scar, and massaging it in. Wether it be the action of massaging the scar or Trentinoin itself, the scar is now visibly less dark and not as puffy. I also had really bad and deep “tech neck” lines. I started using Trentinoin on them, and they COMPLETELY vanished. I have to say, that is something I was most impressed with. I recommended it to everyone and now my grandma, aunt, mom, and bestfriend all are using Trentinoin. My grandma is using it because she is prone to getting skin cancer on her face. My aunt too. My mom is using it for dark spots, and my bestfriend is using it on red scars she obtained after pregnancy. I’ve done a lot of research on it, and not everything I read I believe. But one thing is true, is that YOU MUST WEAR SUNSCREEN and moisturize. I have darker, dry skin as it is so I didn’t think it would effect me as bad, but it can be harsh. I have learned my lesson so many times by not wearing sunscreen or moisturizing and having to show up to class with super dry and tight skin, or even raw patches because I didn’t listen.

@guillaumem9953 Год назад

I am also a 20 yo dark skin complexion woman with PCOS and acne scars. I tried Tret one year ago and it destroyed my face. I don’t know if it’s because of the derma who did an absolute awful job (made me start tret at a high level and frequency w/h using a sunscreen) or it was just my sensitive skin that reacted badly. Now I’m seeing another derma who put me on tret again but at a low level this time. Still is I’m afraid to go through what I went through before… Took me time to repair my skin barrier, now I barely don’t break out anymore but I have very visible scars.. I don’t know if I should try tret again, I’m so afraid.. I now know it to use to minimise irritation and purging but I’m still reluctant to try it again. What would you advise me?

@Lauren-zq9ux Год назад

@@Anna-dd4wy it is 0.05%! Which is stronger than it sounds lol!

@Lauren-zq9ux Год назад

@@guillaumem9953 I would say get a chemical peel, but if your moisture in the skin barrier was disrupted last year from Trentinoin, she probably doesn’t want you to do that. I got a chemical peel before using a low dose of Trentinoin and it lightened/took off about 70% of the scars I had. Scars take a lot of time to heal, and I know using Trentinoin will help them regardless. It’s a year later of consistency for me, with good spf, and good moisturizer and I am just now seeing results that I’m proud with. I don’t even wear makeup anymore. Where I was two years ago, I had so many scars, I wouldn’t dare to leave the house. It’s daunting to think of how long it can take, but after the purge, you will see progress each month. Be patient and consistent! Wear aquaphor on the days you don’t use Trentinoin. And start slow. I know this isn’t the best response and I’m not claiming to be a doctor, this is just what I wish someone would’ve told me when I started. I hope it helps.

Exaaaactly! It depends on how your skin was at the beginning of the journey. I suffered SEVERE cystic acne for 15 years. My Saint Derm put me on isotret and once healed, perfected my scars with all kind of non surgical procedures (mainly laser) until we achieved "dolphin skin". When, years after, I started tret for antiaging, sincerely, I didn' t see any drastic change because there was nothing to improve but mantain and "thanks" to acne, my discipline is spartan so no purge, no irritation... I just notice the _Broken Clock_ effect at my 46 yo😉✨ by religiously following Dr Dray' s and Dr Bunting instructions. *THANK YOU* 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤🖤🖤👩🏻‍⚕️🧑🏼‍🦳🐕

Hi Doc, thanks so much for your informative videos especially on how to use Tretinoin properly. I've followed your instructions and after 4 years using Retinol - Retinal - and now, Tretinoin, it seems I've adapted very well to this new regime after only 1 week using the Tretinoin; and with minimal flaking that has now stopped. I use Sweet Almond Oil USP Grade, Organic as a thin base, then Tretinoin Cream 0.025%, followed by Cerave Eye Repair Gel and Cerave Moisturizer after 20 minutes. I'm a genetically youthful 69 y/o and I couldn't be happier with the progress I'm seeing. My skin is tighter, brighter, and hyperpigmentation and sun spots are beginning to lessen. Looking forward to more of your videos, God Bless!

I have been using tretinoin for acne since 2009. This year due to cold temperature of winter, I stopped tretinoin for only 5 days while keeping everything else the same believing that there is no way I can get acne again after all these years. Surprisingly, I broke out badly and quickly revert back to the severe acne that I had before tretinoin treatment. It took me almost 6 weeks of consistent tretinoin use to get my skin back to normal. The moral of the story is that never completely stop using tretinoin if it is for acne especially if you know you are under a lot of stress.
