I know I am a little late to this conversation but I have been using Retin-A since I was about 30 years old and I am now 65. My skin looks very young for my age. My dermatologist instructed me to mix the Retin-A cream with a moisturizer. She actually demonstrated it. Therefore, I have had no reactions to it at all. When I first started using it, I noticed my skin was flaking off (the exfoliating phase) but it still wasn’t dry because I was using a moisturizer with it. It takes some experimentation to get your own dosing correct. I do not use it every day. And I have always used sunscreen. I was also told to use the Retin-A only at night before sleep. During the day I would always use sunscreen. Perhaps instructions weren’t very good and that’s why the doctor had such a terrible reaction. I have never put Retin-A on my skin without combining it with a moisturizer. This habit has made my skin look very nice. It has helped to fade my freckles and give my skin an even tone and texture. Now that I am in my mid-60s, people are shocked when they find out how old I am because my complexion looks so great and young. I also want to add that my original visit to a dermatologist was because I had skin cancer on my forehead. I had a lot of sun damage for someone my age. That is why my dermatologist put me on this cream. It has saved my face.

@@karinsandhu omg don't do this. first of all it is not recommended to mix your sunscreen with anything since it could mess with the uv-filters and potentially make them less effective. secondly, you have to apply tretinoin at because it is extremely photosensitive and will do almost certainly nothing for you when applied during the day! if you have very sensitive skin you could either mix it with your moisturizer at night or put on moisturizer first, let it dry completely and then put on the tret. wait another 30 min or so and apply another layer of moisturizer. buffering like this, skipping days or using the lowest strength will not make it less effective as studies have shown. it's just going to take a little longer to see (the same) results.

The channel “Tara Priddy” made a great research video regarding “buying cheap Retin-A”. I suggest watching it if you want to save a lot of money. In the USA, it can cost up to $120 for 20 grams of product versus less than $10 overseas. You’re still getting a Johnson & Johnson product but it’s not as regulated as it is here in the US where Big Pharma screws us all.

Dr Youn, your content has changed my view on beauty and Heath!!! Thank you for this amazing content!!! I wanted to also ask something I can’t find valid answers for doing my own research. With prescription retinol, should you take week long or months of breaks for periods of time when using it?! Can it actually cause your skin cell turnover to not do its job in our 40s and 50s and 60s if we start in our 20s like me?!?! Thank you for reading this!!

I had really nice healthy skin until I had a sudden cardiac arrest 4 years ago. Now my skin is so crepey. Horrible around my jowls. I have been using retin-a prescription for about 5 years. My dermatologist said my skin had a reaction because I died and they bought me back. I don't know. I'm embarrassed by the way I look like old farmers skin. I drink a lot of water and I actually love it. I'm retired so I don't have any stress. My hubs is a blessing of 48 years. He tells me not to worry about it and just keep taking care of myself like I do. My cardiac arrest was because my electrolytes bottomed out. I like to exercise too, which is a plus because I am 68 years old. Always have worked out all my life.

@@soonsuicidal I first used a retinol from the drugstore, LaRoche Posay Redermic C I used that for about 9 months to get my skin used it Retinols. Didn’t ever peel with that. Then I started with RetinA .5% and did gave some peeling. I started a sustained regular exfoliating schedule that helped tremendously. I did move up to .1% and I toggle between the .5 and .1% which REALLY makes me peel. The trick is to back down if you’re peeling too much for you comfort (although it’s what’s supposed to happen). You may be person who can only use it 3-4 times a week versus daily like me. Find the best most balanced usage rate of RetinA for YOU and I promise you’ll reap the benefits in time. Don’t be scared of peeling, it’s supposed to happen to reveal the newer softer skin underneath. Be sure to use a moisturizer that works for your changing skin and please use sunscreen daily. Your skin will love you for it and you’ll begin to love the look of your skin. Good luck on your skincare journey! 🤗🤗

@glendagarcia61943 жыл бұрын
@@soonsuicidal I’m a makeup fiend. RetinA isn’t going to have you peeling like a chemical peel will with strands of skin peeling. You will peel but you can adjust how often you use use RetinA or a retinol on your skin. It’s safe to use every night 7 nights per week. But you can adjust to a twice a week regimen and work from there. I always wear makeup and did at the time I started. Sometimes foundation looked great, sometimes it was clear I needed to exfoliate. You’ve got to make exfoliating a part of your skincare routine whether you decide to use RetinA or not. It can be a bit of a hump for some folks buts a MANAGEABLE hump. It truly is. If you’re getting too much peeling to wear makeup well, cut back the number of days you’re using it. RetinA is a totally manageable product that’ll help you with fine lines and wrinkles as well as minor texture of the skin. Try a drugstore retinol first since retinol isn’t as strong as RetinA to get your skin acclimated to it. Olay, The Ordinary, Roc, L’Oréal all make excellent retinol products that’ll get you on the road to improved skin. Also it can dry your skin out a bit so remember to keep your skin hydrated at all times. But I never stopped wearing makeup when I started on RetinA and don’t know that I would’ve kept with it if I couldn’t wear makeup. I definitely understand your concern. But it’ll be okay I promise. If it burns, stings causes breakouts stop immediately. That’s not normal but peeling is perfectly normal and manageable.

Retin A, or tretinoin, is the gold standard. I have been using it on and off for 20 years (when I can afford it). Most insurance companies don't cover it, now. The out of pocket is 100-300 usd per month! I ask friends when they are going to other countries to buy me several tubes. Worth every penny!!! I have no crows feet nor forehead lines, and I am an old gal.

I've been using prescription retinase since I was a teem first for acne and now for texture issues with my skin. After I turned 25 I had to start paying for it but it's worth every penny. Sometimes I get off of it because I get lazy or forget to apply but I definitely notice a difference when I start using it again. If you decide to use this and go through the changes try to work through it because it's worth it after you get through the initial redness and irritation.

Use retinol first. Introduce the product to your skin slowly so that it won't react badly. Then if your skin is already used to it, you can now switch to Retin A 0.025%, once a week. After 2months, use it 2-3 times a week.
