For me, easing into it 1x a week for a month and then 2x a week for a month and then 3x a week for a month was very helpful. I also followed your suggestion of putting CeraVe on first before applying it. I've been on it for about 5-6 months, and, yes, my skin is still more sensitive in some situations.

I started tretinoin 0.05%last year 2023 and I didn’t get the dreaded purge stages but just a few dry patches here and there. My skin is smooth and glass-like and not a wrinkle in sight. People think I’m in my 20s but I’m actually 40 lol. However, now in my second year I’ve now graduated to 0.1%. Tretinoin and I are besties forever ❤

@DragonicCherry 7 месяцев назад

May I ask why you use such a high percentage? Just curious.

@jayceec3178 Месяц назад

@@DragonicCherry I’m curious too. (RU-vid needs to do something about when we reply to the original person who wrote the comment, it doesn’t highlight their name but highlights everyone else’s on the thread, like yours at the beginning of my comment, @dragonicCherry. Hope I’m making sense.) Anyway, my doctor has written out a prescription for Retin A, strength 0.01% but it has been discontinued here in Australia. The pharmacist has Tretinoin which is under the name of Retrieve and the lowest strength is 0.05% I’ve never used Tretinoin before so really don’t know what to expect. Do you or anyone else reading this think that the strength 0.05% would be too strong? I’m 66, fair skinned and was lucky that I didn’t start getting any wrinkles until about four or five years ago and then wham, they all came at once 😂. So with me having fair skin, would Tretinoin irritate my skin more than someone with olive skin? Also, anyone reading this, is how long before the results start showing? I would love to hear some stories from people who have been using it.

For the past several years I have been using Retin A Micro Gel in a pump 0.1% I order it from a pharmacy in Canada, I fax them my prescription. I save a few hundred dollars on one tube that last me 6 months, in the States as you know the Retin A micro gel is very costly. I love it and I am often complimented on my skin, I am in my sixties.

@nickh3683 4 года назад

@@Sandy-o4l Start off a few times a week, and slowly build up to everyday. Sometimes everyday is too much, so you can do it every other day as well. I no longer use it everyday though, I usually shoot for 3-4 times a week. Also, if you're just starting, I recommend putting the tret on top of your moisturizer, you'll get less irritation that way. Once you get used to it you can put the tret on first, but beware that it can be more irritating to your skin that way.

Without coverage it is around $25, which is still cheaper than the fancy schmancy cream I used to use. 🙄

Thank you for this clarifying video! I started on tretinoin 0.025% in March 2019. I quickly moved up to the .05% after about 2 months and slowly worked my way up to 5 nights a week on that strength. Since September, I’ve tried bumping up to the .1%. There’s so many that have this “Go big, or go home!” attitude about tretinoin/Retin A and I never could find the info I needed on whether the .05% was going to do what I wanted in the long run. Well… I’ve tried several times now to use the .1%. My skin just can not tolerate it. I take the weekend off from tretinoin so I tried the .1% on a Monday night after my skin has had a break. Nope. Didn’t work. Tried on a Friday night … that turned into me not being able to use tret for almost a week! So now, you’ve helped me. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m sticking with the .05%.

I can still see the scars but they did fade up to 35% so far... It may not sound like a big improvement, but it actually is considering I haven't gotten any laser treatments. I think your skin can continue to look smoother as months go by, just don't stop using the cream. I would recommend talking to your derm about microneedling or laser if your scars are really deep.

Cleanser question: I know you're supposed to avoid touching your face to prevent contracting a virus, but even with good hygiene, germs will inevitably end up on the face. So would you recommend cleansing the face for 20 seconds (per CDC recommendation for handwashing) & also, are facial cleansers (such as non-foaming) as effective as hand soap for killing germs? Thanks for still creating videos during this pandemic!! :)

@preetidas9511 4 года назад

Hi! I know these questions are for Dr. Dray but I would like to help you with the cleansing timing. You should wash your face for 60 sec. Also the surfactants (cleansing agents) from the cleanser will burst the virus' outer layer as it is made up of oil. I believe she has videos dedicated to cleansing. You can check them out. Stay safe ❤

Thanks for discussing the variety of vehicles. I'm 60, and have noticeable hyperpigmentation around thd jawline and nose and upper lip. (I think that was caused by using metrogel for hormonal acne in my late 40's/50, and not using enough sunscreen). I was waiting for more details about the cream formulation, pros and cons. Did you list the different strengths of tretinoin? You mentioned you use 0.10 percent. I really need a run-down on what to expect with 0.05%, recommended frequency of use. How to space out doses to avoid a lot of irritation? Is there a 0.025% You might already have another video on that, I just haven't found it. Thanks so much for providing this information. Getting approvals and referrals to see an actual dermatologist is almost like passing a law in congress. There are just a few dermatologists in San Antonio, and the one my insurance covers is not that patient friendly.
