These are my top tips to minimize irritation using Tretinoin. I also go over 4 methods to apply your Tretinoin. Tretinoin can really help improve the look of acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs if premature aging, however there is an adjustment period that can be irritating, and discouraging for many. These tips will help minimize tretinoin irritation like the flaking, peeling, redness, excessive dryness etc. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this topic and I address them all in this video such as products to use with Tretinoin starting out, wait time between Tretinoin application, and more.

The brightside of getting acne is that you put alot of effort into your diet, skincare and general lifestyle choices. As a guy i had never put any effort whatsoever into skincare so i am givin tretonoin another go with a bit more education rather than just the "use everyday" method from the dermotologist, this caused plenty of irritation. I'm hopeful after watching alot of video's that this medication atleast doesnt have the plethora of side effects that something like accutane includes. Wish me luck!!

It serves a purpose at times although diet and lifestyle is easily the main thing that helps me, i mostly eat a diet centred around pasture raised eggs, grass fed beef and wild caught salmon along with tree nuts and fruits. The key is to keep the glycemic index foods low and omega 3 to 6 ratio as even as possible. Remove dairy, refined carbs and sugars then you are getting somewhere. Yes tretonoin cream serves a purpose although it isnt the main thing that will get rid of acne. Get a decent anount of sun without getting burnt either. Im currently in the greek islands and i have had zero issues even though my diet hasnt been perfect and i have been drinking.

This is really helpful for me because I was doing a few things wrong. I was prescribed trention in October 2022 and didn't start using it till December because I had so many thoughts of what it would do to my skin. I've been using it since December 4 and have been taking it slow, it's been a phew times I haven't even used it in a week but I do try to slow it down at times. I really appreciate this, can't wait to get my results. Thank you!😊

@@SarahSaleen Hi Sarah! Greetings from India. I am a TV actress from Mumbai, India. Checked this whole video and found it really apt for all those who have begun using tretinoin for their acne and skin maintenance. I myself introduced tretinoin 0.025 for very mild acne on my face, from May this year with short contact therapy first gradually increasing the duration; and currently in 8th month of tretinoin. Using it every night (throughout ) since last 3 months. I use buffering with Cetaphil cream since I started keeping it overnight. • May I replace it with CeraVe moisturizing cream now? And apply tretinoin over it? My acne issue has gone, just get 2 or 3 very tiny whiteheads thrice a month and go away. Hence, would like to discontinue Tretinoin by Feb'22. •Please advice how to go about with discontinuity? Thanks :)

So thank you for this - I’m very happy to discover your channel! Do you recommend using tretinoin on the neck area, and is it ok to use a tiny amount around the eyes? Fine lines around the eyes are also a concern I’d like to treat long term with this… I’ll be starting tomorrow and sandwiching it between Cerave and Nivea cream (the German formula, which is different from the American one), and finishing it with a bit of rose hip seed oil.

I recently started watching your channel and liked the topics because they are the questions that I’m curious about. I am currently on benzol peroxide with adapalene for over 3 months now but haven’t noticed much of a difference. My derm switched me over to retin A-stieva and scared to go through a purging phase once again since I have active breakouts in my jaw and chin. I would like you thoughts other products I can use that are clean since I have sensitive skin while being on Retin A. Thank you 🙏🏼

@SarahSaleen 3 жыл бұрын

Hii! Thank you for watching 🥰Personally for me as I got older and continued to deal with hormonal acne tret ended up being much more effective than adapalene. It’s also possible your skin may purge a lot less since you were on adapalene for those months… if the benzoyl peroxide is too drying for you, you could use a salicylic acid cleanser instead sometimes. I use the La roche posay one.. if instead of treatment cleansers you wanted to instead use a mild chemical exfoliant you could use the globiotics probiotic one. It comes in a blue bottle and it’s fine for sensitive acne prone skin. You could also try an azaliac acid serum a couple times a week when you’re not using tret.. but when you first start your tret keep it minimal you can even just use it 1-2 times a week at first to minimize the purge. But since hormonal acne is caused by hormonal fluctuations it’s tricky. Stress, our cycle, and processed/dairy foods can all aggravate it as well. Stick to only drinking water too if you’re not already. I don’t want to make this too long but looking into a high frequency wand can be helpful.. I’ll make a video about this for acne. I also have couple videos coming on my hormonal acne journey.. For me I did take a few supplements that helped in the beginning like probiotics, l- lycine, and b5.. but of course talk to your dr before taking anything like that. I hope that helps a little bit. Tret is the only thing that helped my cystic acne topically at least.. and I hope it does the same for you. Hormonal acne is such a deep topic I’m getting asked about a lot.. I need to do a deep dive on it on my channel soon… I know it can get stressful if you ever wanna talk about it more in here. ❤️

Yess I’ll try and get some hormonal acne videos out! alternating between warm compress and ice can help with cysts throughout the day too. Also stick to spf with healing properties only like zinc and titanium dioxide if you’re not already. B5 can help with dehydrated skin too.. I know la roche posay has a b5+hy serum. You may really like the Paulas choice treatment I mentioned in the video too. It can help lock in moisture.

@SarahSaleen 3 жыл бұрын

Hey! Yes! You can use a salicylic acid cleanser in the mornings and your tret at night. My favorite is the la roche posay salicylic cleanser. If your acne is very stubborn you can try benzoyl peroxide wash in the mornings. It’s not for everyone since it can get pretty drying but depends on your skin. You can also use those treatment cleansers just as you need them. I’ve seen some people that have already built up a tolerance to tret can tolerate these types of cleansers in the same routine as their tret. But when you’re starting out it can be pretty drying in the same routine. The Naturium Niacinamide cleanser is a gentle cleanser but it actually has an active that will control oil production so it’s a little more than the typical gentle cleanser. I love Azelaic acid it helps with inflammation, congestion, hyperpigmentation, oil control.. I use it all the time when I’m not using my tret am or pm. It’s an acid that can have minimal irritation as well. I would give it a try! Start a couple times a week and work your way up. I’ve tried a few. If you’re looking for a straight forward over the counter option go with the Naturium ones. ❤️❤️

If your skin is going though retinization I would wait for that to pass. But if your skin is comfortable with the tret then yes go for it! There is a retinoid alternative in the discoloration serum but it’s pretty gentle and shouldn’t cause further irritation in most skin types. However if you have sensitive skin you can incorporate it 2x a week to start, see how your skin does, and gradually increase 🦋

If you have an antioxidant serum that doesn’t irritate your skin, consider adding that back into the routine after your toner, if you’re using one, in the next few weeks if you feel your skin can tolerate it.

This video was great. Can you use Tretinoin under the eyes or above the eyes? Thank you

@SarahSaleen 2 жыл бұрын

Hi!! So personally and through research I feel the skin under and above the eyes is too thin for tret. Tret is very strong. A lot of people do use it under the eyes you just wanna be so careful. Once under eyes get compromised they can get darker. I prefer otc Retinoid creams and serums for that area.

@SarahSaleen 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes you can! I use it in the mornings often. Just start with it a couple days a week and work your way up slowly to make sure your skin can tolerate it. azelaic acid is an antioxidant too so if your skin likes it you can get that added free radical protection under your spf in the mornings with it.

@rnoor9078 2 жыл бұрын

@@SarahSaleen yes i use it daily. My skin loves it. I use to apply it 2x a day but now added in 5% benzoyl peroxide in the mornings & azelaic in evening. Added in the BP to really tackle the acne. But thinking do i actually need BP if i go back to using azelaic 2x a day. But the 2 have made a big difference. I went to start on tret as i got a lot of pigmentation. Its hard to get hold of tret here in UK. We can do dermatica or skin+me monthly prescription services.

@SarahSaleen 2 жыл бұрын

Your skincare sounds nice. so BP and azelaic acid both kill acne bacteria. But if you wanted to, you can alternate between BP and azelaic in the mornings. Or use the BP as a face wash and then apply the azelaic if your akin can tolerate it. I’ve heard good things about both subscriptions. If I didn’t already have experience with tret I would probably try one of those. But Once you start tret you can scale back on the other products and slowly add them back in.. it’ll be a game changer for you 🥰

Hi Sarah, I recently found your channel. Thank you so much for the information. I've started with my retinol serum about 2 months ago. No purging so far. I wanted to start with tretinoin 0.025 to get better result. Can I still use the retinol serum on nights I don't use the cream?

@SarahSaleen 2 жыл бұрын

Hey girl! I would go with one or the other. Technically you can alternate, but both increase cell turnover at some level, and the .025 tret may cause some irritation so using another retinol in between could set you back when it comes to increasing your tolerance with the tret. Also when you start the tret you will likely find that you don’t even feel the need for the other retinol for your face. You could however keep using your retinol serum on your neck since the tret might be too strong for your neck.

@SarahSaleen 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! You can always follow up with your derm about increasing contact time before washing it off. Or moving up to 2x a week is a great place to start too. You could start at one night if you wanted and work your way up. You can always do the sandwich method to start out too. Tretinoin can definitely help with texture and acne over time.

Yes tret can cause this sensitivity to the sun, and can exasperate redness. this can continue for the first few months. If the spf you’re using is chemical I would switch to a mineral and make sure you’re reapplying every two hours ( most often wil have zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). Also try wearing a hat when you’re outside. You want to do whatever you can do avoid heat or direct sun exposure on your face. I’m sorry there’s no easier fix to it :/..
