Hands down the cheapest and most effective retinoid is The Ordinary’s 0.2% retinal emulsion. It’s potent, non-irritating, even for those new to retinoids, and after using daily for a few months will completely transform your face. Trust me. I’m 45 and now look like I’m 30 and I’m loving it (and all the attention ;) 😘

@jancheng9372 Месяц назад

I use this too six times a week and can tolerate it on my neck, chest and back of the hands. I had a little bit of irritation the first few weeks but really love it now!

I’ll have to give the Stratia one a try one day. I guess the good thing about having sensitive skin is that I don’t have to splurge for the heavy hitting Tretinoin.

I have sensitive combination skin and my gateway retinoid recommendations for someone absolutely new to retinoids are two Korean skincare products that I absolutely loved as I began my retinoid journey. 1) Beauty of Joseon Retinal Eye Serum (0.02% Retinaldehyde). 2) By Wish Trend A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream (0.03% Retinal + Bakuchiol). I am currently using the By Wishtrend product for my under eyes and neck. LOVE it. For face, I moved from one tube of Naturium 0.05% Retinal to Naturium 0.1% Retinal to now 0.15% Youth to The People Retinal+Niacinamide Serum. They are all FANTASTIC products. I'd just recommend anyone starting off to go slow and let your skin get used to a strength before moving up. :)

@taranveersingh5926 28 дней назад

@@rnoor9078 If you have dry to normal skin, then 'By WishTrend A-mazing' is a fantastic one and done post cleanse step for you. As it doubles up as a moisturiser due to its thicker consistency. If your skin is combination/oily or you generally find By Wishtrend too heavy, then I'd recommend moving to Naturium 0.05% strength for face and continue with BOJ eye serum for undereyes and neck :)

@taranveersingh5926 28 дней назад

@@rnoor9078 Oh also, considering you have the By Wishtrend Retinal, even if you move to Naturium 0.05 Retinal for face, you can easily use By Wish Trend for undereyes and neck as it's super gentle in my experience. Hope this helps.

I use Agency for the last 1.5 yr and happy with the results. They slowly built my tolerance to 0.14% Tretinoin. I have pretty sensitive skin and I can tolerate this product well. They also customize formula to your needs and add other actives. My formula also includes 5% Azelaic acid, 5% Tranexamic acid and 4% Niacinamide. This product is not cheap, but it is effective.

@chrisbalbuena69 Месяц назад

I appreciate all the info, is there a difference for men when it comes to retinoids? I’m now consistent with moisturizer so maybe I could dabble into these. I think it would be nice if you showed a proper way to apply these things, some of us only know how to violently rub against our skin lol, also moisturizers and such come in such tiny bottles that I have to believe you’re not supposed to use as much as lotion or you’ll get two uses out of them. Great vid doc!

@orchid51551 29 дней назад

Your recommendation on Stratia started me on my retinol journey last year. I moved up to .25 SkinMedica retinol, and am now up to using .05 Tretinoin twice a week. I am still using my Stratia and SkinMedica on the other days, or on my neck which is more sensitive. I also purchased Avene’s retrinal, but have not had the chance to use it, as I overestimated how long it takes to use these products up when you only use a pea sized amount. I moved up in strength very slowly, and aside from some light peeling occasionally, no real side effects.

My fine lines are reduced, and my complexion is brighter and smoother. The panel is affordably priced, which is a huge plus. There are lots of scientific papers backing red light therapy too. Thanks for all the great information in this video - it’s helped me make better skincare choices!

@markdcmountp 17 дней назад

Had a look and I have to say if I’m going for a red light device to treat facial and neck aging I’d spend less than what these panels cost and be more comfortable using it by purchasing one of the well documented flexible red lite therapy masks available. I’m still waiting for the day when all these devices aren’t overpriced because of hype and demand and instead more fairly priced for what they actually are..LED lights 🙄

I've only been using it a couple of weeks so it's much too early to tell, but I'm curious if anyone else has tried this product. I really like the texture of the cream and it seems to be a good moisturizer if nothing else.

Hi Dr Ellis! I use ALL of your products and enjoy them so much! Will you be coming out with a retinol type of product in your line anytime soon? I would love it if you did because I use your Lucent-C and find it quite effective. My sensitive skin is just fine with it for everyday use. The products you have launched so far really work for me, so I’d be super happy to integrate a Prequel retinol into my skincare rotation! I currently use a nighttime retinol serum product by Transderma, out of Sweden. It is an oil and I adore it, however for 30 ml of product, it costs $175! Kinda steep, but it is the very best I have ever found! I only need a drop or two nightly but it is still more than I’d ideally like to spend. Have you heard of or used it? You input would be appreciated! Thanks!👍🏽

I started with Olay’s retinol night moisturizer and have since moved to differin adapalene gel until I’m mostly done with the tube - no irritation thus far. Should I try stepping up with the medic8 line you recommended after that before trying tretinoin or should I just go for it? If going with medic8 should I start at the least concentrated or somewhere in the middle if I’ve been fine with adapalene?

I’ve been using Tretinoin 0.05 since October 2023 6 nights a week. One night a week I use Cerave Treatment glycolic and lactic acid. I use Medik8 retinal 3 eye cream $85 and I have purchased the 6 strength $109 to use once I finish the 3. With Tretinoin I have noticed it has brought out dark sun spots from beneath the skin so hopefully they fade, I use Aloha Arbutin and Tranexamic acid in the morning. I’m 48 and noticed my first eye line wrinkle. So I hope the Medik8 helps. I use Tretinoin on the orbital bone under the eye where the line is, haven’t put Tretinoin up close to eye as I get dry eye. Here in Australia we have to buy Medik8 online.

Medik8 uses BHT in their ingredients and studies have shown that BHT causes cancer in rats.

Would you be able to review Platinum Skincare's Fusion A Retinoid Concentrate? It comes in .15%, .25%, .35% and .55% concentrations and uses a combination of Retinal, Granactive Retinoid, and Retinol. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this product and some other products from their lineup.

Great video Dr. Ellis! I used to use Medik8 crystal retinal and I had great results. I stopped using it because it contains BHT and some people are saying that it is linked to cancer. So many claims online it is overwhelming I don't know who to trust. What is your opinion on this?

Would they use it if it were dangerous to the public??

I agree. I don't know why she would recommend a product that contains BHT. Studies have shown that BHT causes cancer in rats. She needs to explain.
