Best OTC RETINAL SERUMS 2024 - Best Retinol For Anti Aging
Рет қаралды 9,001
Күн бұрынThe best OTC retinal 2024 for maximum anti-aging skincare results. Best retinol for you and a look at the best retinal serums in skincare - The Ordinary Retinal, Geek & Gorgeous and Medik8
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where in todays video I want to share with you the best retinoid serums 2024 and the best retinal for your anti aging skincare routine. Ranking retinol serums and working out which is the best OTC retinol for ant-ageing.
When it comes to smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles there is no better ingredient then retinoids. There are some wonderful prescription strength retinoids like tretinoin, but for ease of access I believe retinal gives you the best anti-aging results with the minimum risk of sensitivity and irritation.
We take a look at the drugstore retinol serums vs the luxury skincare ones to find out which works the best.
In this video we rank the bestselling anti aging serums to work out which is the best for your skin care routine.
If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more like it then please let me know by giving it a thumbs up and a like and please share with me your favourite retinol serums in the comment below.

I spent 3weeks on aGame10 as my 1st retinal/retinol & had zero issues, then dived straight into Ordinary Retinal and havent looked back. My skin just responds amazingly to it and has never looked and felt so good, at 43. Zero adult acne, prev scars and hyperpigmentation have faded or gone, skin is glowing, bouncy and even. Holy grail.

@agiles6483 11 күн бұрын
I appreciate The Ordinary adding to their retinoids with retinal. I am unable to understand why they started with 0.20%, which is the highest Medik8 comes in. I wish for The Ordinary to have started with a range of percentages. When comparing prices: 30ml of 0.20% of TO (2 vials) is $30USD and 30ml of 0.20% of the Medik8 20 is $120 USD, or four times as much. I use Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum 0.02% and ❤Geek and Gorgeous 5 and 10, the 0.05% for my neck and 0.10% for my face.

Love your videos, very relaxing while we learn. I do use Differin for the rate break outs that seem to be gaining momentum and need to be nipped in the bud. I don’t really like it though as it stings and makes my skin feel prickly. Luckily Hero Mighty Pimple Patches came to the rescue, one maybe 2 nights then sorted. The only product I have with Retinol is the Hada Labo Super Hydrating Lotion (gifted) which does contain Retinol. I don’t use it often though and I am not really sure what results to expect from it. I will read up some more on it. Take care 💜

I used a low strength No. 7 retinol for a while but my sensitive skin didn't like it. Then I moved on to the ordinary granactive retanoid emulsion but I wasn't sure if I was getting much benefit from it. I'm currently using Beauty of Joseon retinal eye serum as a full face serum and my skin seems to like it. I think it's only 0.02% retinal though. I might try the 0.05% geek and gorgeous next and see how I tolerate it. Great video as always Rob, love having a cup of coffee and listening to you talk skincare 👍

Hi Robert .. I tried the three of them! Medik8 is great (I used the 10 and 20 .. I struggled with the 20 because is thicker and needs to layered on a slightly wet skin) but the AGame 10 G&G is fantastic to use and spread on my face .. I have recently used the Ordinary one .. I like it very much but I still need to spread it on slightly wet skin .. still struggling to calculate the right quantity of water before spreading it ! I like the Ordinary one but it finishes quickly ! I always get super helpful information from you .. Thanks you so much for your videos ! 🥰

♥ I've been trying as many retinoids as I can, but out of these three have only tried The Ordinary so far. I like the small container for travel and I like the fact that I can pick it up at my local Sephora. I'd love to try the Medik8 next. I'm fighting an uphill battle against age and hyperpigmentation/melasma and trying to decide if I just need a prescription retinoid. Thanks for another fun and interesting video! You always make me smile!

Salut Rob, after using G&G for a year, my skin plateaued and I switched to the Ordinary. Goodness, it’s stronger! Smaller yes, but it’s the first one that gave me a little bit of purging, which never happened with the lower strength granactive retinioid and then G&G retinal that I used prior. The skin stabilised now, but they aren’t joking when it comes to strength huh. Thanks for the video 😊 and greetings from France! Ps. It seems TO one is more hydrating than G&G.

It also goes perfectly with MAS Peptide Serum 😉

Great video. I completely agree with the one con for Geek and Gorg. I wish they did a higher strength just so I could try it out. Otherwise it wins hands down. I don't see the point of Medik8 because it contains fragrance which risks sensitivity and irritation, even if it makes you feel good. They need to put out a fragrance free one but even then I can't justify paying 60 something pounds for it (just yet!). Should adding a few more ingredients like fragrance make something so much more expensive, and by that I mean the 0.1% strength Medik8 compared to the G&G 0.1%? Love your videos! X

Hi 👋🏼 Rob. Currently I’m using the Geek and gorgeous agame 10. But I have the ordinary waiting in my drawer ☺️ I’m wondering if you have any experience with Dermatica? And what you would think about their products? I’m just not really getting anywhere with my hyperpigmentation and I’m thinking about maybe giving Dermatica a chance with hydroquinone and tretinoin as ingredients 🤷🏻♀️

On your recommendation I have started using ordinary after switching myself from dermetica tret as my skin was not happy. Ordinary is very good for me I am alternating with copper peptides

Hi Rob! I love your channel. You are definitely one of the best skinfluencers and I trust your opinion to be honest ❤ I’ve been using BOJ ginseng + retinal serum and now ready to move up to G&G A-Game 5. It has been out of stock on their UK online store for a while. Hopefully, I’ll get my hand on it soon ❤ While doing research on retinal options, I came across VT cica reti-A range. It formulated with hydroxypinacolone retinoate and claim to be more effective than retinal. Very interesting! It would be great to hear what you think 😙
@MadAboutSkin 11 күн бұрын
Thank you so much hun and your kind words me a lot to me.. the VT form of retinoid is actually granactive retinoid which has been around some time (the ordinary do a couple of serums with it) its nice and great for those with sensitive skin though personally I found I got better results with retinal .. Granactive is a lot better than retinol though so I think that sounds like a nice product.. love xx

Oh I think if its an option for you then its a good one.. many cant afford or cant get to a derma so its nice to have OTC options.. Here in the UK it can be really hard to get a derma appointment and the ones you do get can be £200 for a consult which is a lot for many x
@kindseyvaughn8667 11 күн бұрын
There’s quite a bit more cost involved it that. Plus as some have pointed out, lab muffin science, doctorly, skin can only take so much vitamin A at a time. So emulsions/encapsulation of vitamin A in OTC products does lead to less irritation but also similar results, just takes a bit longer. While prescription vitamin A hasn’t really changed since it first came on the market in the 1990s. It’s classified as a drug and getting approvals for drugs is very expensive and any change to a formula means it has go through the same procedure, so it hasn’t. While OTC companies can innovate without the expense of getting approval.

@@MadAboutSkin I go to an aesthetics dr who does my skin enhancing etc and she prescribes skincare too - I only pay for the product (she gives me a discount code too to use in obagi site) so it’s not much more than the highest strength medik8.

I have a prescription for Tretinoin and I don't even use it because it makes me peel and itch and I never get past that stage! As y'all know, skincare only works if you're consistent…so I like using these gentler formulations. At least I use them daily 😊

Tretinoin 0.025% Rx, and before that Differin (adapalene 0.1%), but previously I would alternate between Paula’s Choice 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol (surprisingly potent) and the Elizabeth Arden Retinol + Ceramides capsules (silky gentle). I stopped using cosmetic retinoids after watching LabMuffinScience’s video about whether they actually work or not (since there’s virtually zero published research that they do) and how to choose your retinoid. After that, I realized how much money I had wasted, switched to adapalene, and FINALLY saw the benefits of retinoids dermatologists are always gabbing on about 😅
