My doctor prescribed me a Retin A, and I am aware that it has side effects, but after my skin acclimatize to retin-A is it okay to change and apply different type of retinol (for example: retinol from the inkeylist)? Or should I stick with the same Retin-A for the rest of the years? Thank you so much,Dr! 💕

The retinol available in skincare products like The Inkey List is way less potent than the prescription one, so I don´t really understand why you would change back.

I was wondering if exposure to indirect sunlight is bad for the skin if you use tretinoing?

@DoctorAnne 2 жыл бұрын

Well, you won't be able to avoid that unless you'll hide in the basement (which is never good), but you should be careful and always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days and in the shade.

Hello Doctor. I have acne prone and oily skin Love your content. I was just prescribed tretinoin 0.025% and Benzac gel last week and my skin started peeling very badly after using it daily for 1 week. I will cut down to using it every 3 days to let my skin adapt to it slowly. Can I ask if Dermalogica Clearing Skin wash cleanser is okay for my situation? I was told by sales lady that it is very mild in salicylic acid 0.5% and they have natural ingredients that soothe the skin from irritation and its non dying. Do you think its okay?

@DoctorAnne 3 жыл бұрын

I would not recommend a salicylic acid cleanser, no matter how low the concentration, as long as your skin is still irritated from the Tret. Have you watched my video on how to introduce retinol with minimal irritation already?

@@DoctorAnne Hi doctor. Thanks for the reply. Which cleanser would you recommend? Because I bought the cerave foaming facial cleanser with ceramides and niacinimide so mild and gentle yet my skin still dries up so much. I am also on doxycycline 100mg along with the medications I listed just now for 2 months. I watched the video you told me. Its very helpful. You mentioned start tretinoin once every 3 night.

@DoctorAnne 3 жыл бұрын

@@mrmorgan4585 If your skin feels dry, it is probably not the right one for you as an individual, but the dryness is most likely more due to the medication than the cleanser. The Benzac Gel is pretty drying and irritating, but as it is your prescription, you best discuss it with your prescribing doctor.

I’m confused. In another one of your videos you said to never mix prescription tretinoin’s with other products. It seems like that’s what you’re doing here. Or did you mean physically mix the ingredients together? I have a prescription Retin-A and would like to know what else is safe to use along with it.

@DoctorAnne 3 жыл бұрын

Tretinoin is beneficial to use in the same routine as Niacinamide for example, and supporting ingredients like hydrating and calming ones are safe too. I do not mix it with potentially irritating "actives" like acids or Vitamin C. Does that clear things up?

I seen some people take retinol up to the eyes & neck and apparently side effects subside after 4 to 6 weeks on those area. I also seen some people treating eye eczema/dermatitis with retinol mixed with moisturizer around the eye area. What do you think?

@DoctorAnne 2 жыл бұрын

There are retinol products designed for the eye area. What I am using though is Tretinoin, the prescription, which is way stronger than retinol. I wouldn't be able to tae it up to my eyes, and it is not recommended to do so. I know it works for some people, but I wouldn't suggest doing it. As for eye dermatitis/ eczema - I don't think treating them with your own mixed solutions is a good idea, I wouldn't mess with my eye area.

Arbutin has a low irritation potential, but if it comes in higher concentrations it still might be too much when paired with Retin A.
