Retinoids and retinol have long been considered by dermatologists like me to be one of the most important tools you can use to fight the signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin. So I decided to put together a list of my favorite holy grail Retinoids as a dermatologist so that you can find the perfect one for you. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these Retinoid products.

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 ;) 😘

I’m on a tight budget, so I’ve been alternating between the ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum ($15) and the two retinoids from Good Molecules (the gentle Retinol Cream for $8 and the 1% retinol night oil for $12). 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. :)

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.

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!

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?

I use Medik8 retinal 3 eye cream $85 and I have purchased the 6 strength $109 to use once I finish the 3.

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.

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.

So if you’re using an over the counter retinal without lactic acid in it would you recommend using say a 10% lactic acid serum along with it during the same application to speed removal of age spots?..Or maybe just over the age spots only to avoid possible all over irritation? Thanks🙏

What do you think of the Skinbetter Science Retinoid? I like the idea of the MediK8, but a couple year ago I tried some products from them and had a bad reaction, so I am a bit hesitant with this brand (for me). The Skinbetter Science sounds more suitable for sensitive skin types.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal has BHT in it and studies have shown that BHT causes cancer in rats.

Can you do an affordable GOOD retinoid/retinal/retinol video for those of us that can’t spend $65-$120 on a product, please? 🙏🏼

Opinions on the AestheticsRx Vitamin A Serum 1% retinol?

@angiebasham7021 28 күн бұрын

Luv your videos! Wondering if its safe ro use any form of vitamin A on the eyelid. Im 60 with dark discoloration , texture, and couple milia on my eyelids. Thought maybe a vitamin could be helpful???

You could try a glycolic instead... that's how I got rid of my milia...and it does also help build collagen.

What do you think about the Geek & Gorgeous A Game retinal? I’ve just started trying it because it was said to be a “dupe” for the Medik8 Crystal Retinal. I’ve also finished 2 tubes of the Medik8 retinal (3 and 6) but for that money, I didn’t see enough results. The geek & gorgeous ones (0.05 and 0.1) are very affordable and the reviews are very promising! Curious if you’ve tried it.
