IS RETINOL SAFE - What We Now Know 

Hey guys and welcome to todays video which is based on a question I get asked all the time.. let me know in the comments which form of retinoid you use.. love you all x

But I can still buy vitamin A oral supplements ! And eat as many as I want. So all these restrictions are pure BS 😂 The results of some pharmaceutical industry lobbying IMO.

I agree with a lot of your commenters - they shouldn't ban retinol. We're grown ups and can decide whether it works well for us or not (w/o OD'ing on it). My skin rebels against retinol, unfortunately, but I still have great skin at the age of 64. I just posted about how I do it. Meanwhile, I have yet to give retinal a try for several weeks to see if my skin reacts. 🙂

Retinaldehyde!! In particular, Medik8!!

Thank you for getting to the point. 👍🌷

The Ordinary 0.2% retinal for me. Took a couple of weeks for my skin to get used to it and now I use it 6 nights a week. I could never tolerate tretinoin. My face was so red even after eight months of use at 0.025%. I moved to Geek and Gorgeous retinal on the recommendation of The Honest Channel, first the 5, then the 10 and now The Ordinary which I am going to stick with for now.

I use adapalene 0.1% daily. According to dermatologists I've questioned, it works for anti-aging and would still be stronger than the 0.2% retinal products like The Ordinary's.

Another excellent video! Quick question,... are the retinal products you mentioned better than Peach & Lily Retinal?

It took me forever before I found a working routine without vitamin A due to pregnancy/breastfeeding. I have to say, nothing compares to it and I can't wait to have my G&G aGame back, but going without isn't the end of the world either! 🤭 Much love, Rob!

Been using Paula's choice retinol 1% for 3 years now ! So I'm looking for alternatives, I thought retinal was less efficient but I'm learning it's not the case :) So I'm going two routes : trying some retinal ( I bought the G&G A-game 10 ) and waiting for my tretinoin prescription ! I'll see what works best for me ( retinoids are like moisturizer on me I never had any redness or issues )

Happy Tuesday x

Hi Rob you've peeked interest so much in K-SECRET especially the seoul 1988 line (year of my birth). Would love a review as you seem to be the only person talking about them and the formulations look great!

I am still a baby in the retinol/retinal game. I purchased FaceTheory Ceraquench which has retinol (retinyl palmitate) along with other goodies in it like Vitamin E & C etc, but haven’t been using it consistently. I am wanting to try G&G A-Game 5 and Medik8 Retinal. Thank you for the video 🙏

My skin has never overcomed irritation, dryness and other side effects of retinol. So, I use baktiol now😅 Hearing seemingly sensitive-skin-friendly options are out there, maybe I should look to Retinal!

I have used G&G retinAl 10 for a year no but I will go back to Cerave Resurfacing retinol as it makes my skin smoother... PS I really wish Cerave stopped animal testing 😞

Started to use your retinal oil in combination with my body moisturizer and I love the added moisture. Feels so luxe 😍

I use Agame 10 from geek& gorgeous and I love it.. I would like to know your opinion about retinal 0,2 from the ordinary

I just LOVE the Retinol night oil- Good Molecules❤❤

I’ve been using revive tretinoin for several years after starting with L’Oréal’s serum and then Neutrogena’s slightly stronger version, then up to prescription strength. In the winter I like A 313 and I can buy it without script online from an Australian based website. I discovered A313 when I was in France last year and LOVED it. The base is so emollient and prevents flaking and irritation for me. I’m almost through my 2nd tube. Does this mean you can’t get A313 OTC anymore? I was chuffed when I could buy it at the pharmacy counter without a script! The pharmacist asked me if I had previously used any retinoids before to which I said oui’ lol. I cannot speak highly enough of how much my skin has benefited from topical Vit A. I am 51 for reference. The core of my regime is double cleanse, retinoids, LED mask and K beauty sunscreens everyday. My skin has never looked better.

Team retinal all the way x

My skin is contrary and seems to react to every active unless it's low strength. The one exception is Retinal. ❤❤❤❤MAS Ultimate Anti Aging Oil. Thank you for not adding Niacinamide into every product in your range.

There are better options out there…. Everyone should look into retinal and/or tret (if easily accessible to them). ❤️❤️

I`m using Medik8 crystal retinal 6...

I use the Naturium Retinaldehyde cream Serum 0.05

Retinal ❤

The problem with encapsulated products is that they include the encapsulation materials in the percentage claims. So you're getting way less of the actual active even if the printed percentages are the same.

Retinal. I want to say that not everyone should transition to The Ordinary’s new 0.2% retinal. From what I have read 0.2% retinal is meant for very experienced users of high strengths of retinol or retinal. It is twice as strong as the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 10. If you haven’t tried retinal and aren’t using a high percentage of retinol or tretinoin, please start with a 0.05% strength which is available from a number of brands, including Geek & Gorgeous in the A-Game 5, but also Scinic and Naturium.

Missalice has different strengths of retinal serums! I am using 0,15 %, used the g&g before i think it's a nice upgrade

Hi there i was wondering if you could perhpas state your opinion on retiron ? i just ordered my skintegra retiron 0.05 % and wonder if i made a good purchase or not :D

Adapalene here!! 🔥🔥🔥

Could it be you forgot to fill the description box :D?

I also think the ban of retinol is because it’s easy to access by very young girls. California just banned over the counter retinol because of kids using it for anti aging.

🌸

Retinal for me

I like elf’s retinol. It has both retinal and retinol.

❤❤

I stopped using Retinol and use Retinal (MAS) / Tretonoin.

Tretinoin girl here!

first ❤

O.2 % retinol is good for me. I am 40yo woman so it is good for PCOS & anti-aging purposes. I still have to appy it with sandwich method ( moisturizer + retinol cream + moisturizer). We need skincare products that is not clogging pore, oil free, sulphate free, fatty alcohol free, allergen free, alcohol free, fungal acne safe, silicone free.

What do you think of somebymi retinol intense ?

I'm definitely team Retinal.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal here….under dermatologist guidance, my skin can’t tolerate tret more than once a week

The only way I could see a build up of Vit. A is if you eat beef liver everyday for years.

I used retinol for 3 years and didn’t notice any results and side effects. Now I’ve been using tretinoin for a year and I can notice some results, but nothing extraordinary.

What would we use instead of a vit a product.

It was 35 years ago but I received one huge tube and a refill. I never used 1/8 of refill cleared my face in 9 months

My only question is: will the products have to change for Europeans market?

My mum used retinol all throughout her pregnancy with me and I turned out just fine! Granted, I was born a newt, but I got better.

👍

Skin and me tret x

Is it normal to get horrible break outs from not using retinol in a week or two 😮‍💨😮‍💨 also my skin isn't as clear as it should I'm getting all the irritations but not the best results 😤😤 Ps: I'm using the inkylist retinol serum

Retinal 😊😊😊

I tried Retinold different brand even at law...my sking was peeling, irritated, and painful.

Thanks Rob! Retinol, Tret and others are Vitamin A. From what I just read, any Vitamin A product lowers defenses of cells and may unfortunately cause lung cancers in smokers specifically. I haven’t been able to quit smoking, so I may quit retinol.

Your retinal Rob.

I'm using Adapalene 0,1%.

Government over reach. Where is the scientific data?

😂 retinal eyes, neck and chest for anti-aging/dark spots. Adapalene face acne/anti-aging. Retinol body lotion, strawberry skin/anti-aging 🤷

Just use Tretinoine...

👍
