Thank you to everyone for your questions! Please don’t take it personally if I didn’t answer yours. Understand that I'm neither a dermatologist nor an expert on skincare, and I received numerous questions that I did not feel comfortable answering as it’s not my place for me (or anyone for that matter) to answer such individually-directed questions over the Internet regarding the use of a prescription product. What I CAN do, as always, is speak to my experience using tretinoin and topical retinol products for over 16 years; therefore, I addressed the questions about my personal experience and offered suggestions where I felt I could comfortably give my advice. Remember, too, that everyone’s experience using tretinoin and/or retinol will be unique and different, because everyone’s skin is unique and different. The questions I did not answer are those that would be best suited to ask your prescribing physician so that he or she may guide you accordingly along the best possible course of treatment for you depending on your individual skin type, needs & preferences, and goals. I appreciate your understanding.

I just don’t understand why she hasn’t more subscribers, there are a lot of other KZfaq talking about a healthy life but none of them are real talk or with real experience, mostly ads, I am so grateful as a male watching your videos and improve myself in life in every way possible 🤚🏻

I love that you care enough to do what people ask like "smile close to the camera ". As if they are trying to get you to "expose" something. Of course skin does that when a person squints or smiles. You can clearly see what your are using works. People are silly and you're a doll. I'm 100% going to try you skin regimen when I'm no longer breastfeeding. ❤️

As an Indian I'm impressed at how well you pronounced Indian names.. also I love your vibe, I love your videos, very informative. Love from India

You are flipping georgous. Ur skin your hair your lashes!!!! My goodness girl. I cant wait to see you in 20 years. U will probably look even better. If thats even possible.

Tretinoin really has been the best thing for me and given my skin a new life. My friends use all sorts of serums and potions and I keep telling them that vitamin A is the best choice. I hope as I grow older I can retain and gain as beautiful a skin as yours. Thank you for sharing your experience.

You are so smart, to start taking care of your skin from such a young age! At that age I baked in the sun and now, I am trying to repair the damage However, Retin a has made a difference, even starting it much later in life. Thank you for setting such a great example of self care

Wished I had a dermatologist relative in my family too😭😍

You are so pretty. I am turning 25 next month, and for a long time I struggled with my skin. Right now, my skin is the best it has ever been and I want to keep it that way as well as simplify my routine!! I have learned a lot about the 'work smart, not hard' kind of approach from your videos. I find your personality comforting as well. Thank you so much.

I’m 24 and going to start using tretinoin in a few months! Wish me luck.

You’ve got the best uncle ❤️ can’t wait to teach my daughter how to use skincare

I find your videos on tretinoin to be among the most insightful on the platform regardless of the fact you’re not a medical professional. As someone starting tretinoin at 22, I can only hope I look as good as you in the coming years. Love your sincere content so far. 🥰

I’m so glad you joined KZfaq 🌷💗

back then people didn't have all these sorts of skincare we do now. people use simple products like yours. I respect the simplicity of your skincare. a little goes a long way

Thank you for responding, Jennifer 😊 I’ve done so much research prior to starting tretinoin. I barely started last Sunday & my plan is doing it once a week for a month & then progressing to twice a week the following month & so on & so fourth. Thank you once again for taking your time to respond to us. I’ve been looking forward to this video for a few days now!

Thanks for Q&A part2. Can't wait for part 3 of the critically acclaimed highly anticipated trilogy🎥🍿😜❤️

going back here, been using tretinoin since last year (when i'm 25) after i watched this. hope to comeback here 10 years later with good skin!

I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate your videos even though I dont comment much but I really want to thank you fir your efforts, for giving us such useful & quality content. I seriously feel blessed to have found your channel because it's so authentic and real plus the content is so informative and I have learned a lot. Thank you so much and keep it up. Btw you're truly gorgeous.

I was worried that I may be too young (22) to use retin a but I’m glad too hear this is is a good time for me to start

You are incredibly well spoken. Love listening to you!

Jennifer, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate the kindness you've shown in sharing your experience. i found you through your bone broth video and then saw that you practice meditation, which is something I have been incorporating into my daily habits. Then I stayed for the rest of your videos. To attest to the effectiveness of your lifestyle, I began drinking bone broth to break my fast. I've been doing it for 3 weeks now and can say that my skin has looked so much brighter and supple as well as my acid reflux has diminished because the broth preps my stomach in the morning for food throughout the day. These healthy habits have also encouraged me to incorporate your other lifestyle suggestions, mostly putting care of myself first. Thank you and I look forward to your continued journey on youtube. Good luck!

Hi Jennifer, I love this video ❤. I've been using retin A for 2 years. For the 1st year I did not feel any significant improvement of my skin. But I keep going and be patient 😊 And now my skin looks much better. Thank you for inspiring 😍

I really appreciate you sharing details of your perfect skincare routine as well as your ingestible beauty tips!! In Japanese we call them 美容食 (biyoushoku) or beauty foods. I’ve never really heard anyone talk much about them outside of japan, so thank you very much!!!!!

I started using Retin A 3 years ago. I am 61 and it has been a game changer for me. My biggest regret is not using it sooner. 🥰

i started using tretinoin gel ....mainly for my acne but now after watching your videos. ....i think i am gonna use it for long term basis. I am 22 years old now

So beautiful- a quiet beauty, rare gem !

You have the skin of my dreams! 😊I use retin a as well but for acne and I’m 35 now it helps with my wrinkles but I still get Botox 😊I am also an avid sunscreen user😊

You are one of the most sensitive, informative, beautiful person and KZfaq in and out. Thank you!

Something about you here reminds me of Monica Bellucci🦋😍

I love your comment section ❤️ mostly very positive as an influence of you.

I started at 22 too. I just turned 23. I’m glad I came across Tret and I’m glad I found your channel 💛 I’m definitely going to use Retin A for as long as I can.

I'm 23 and I have just been prescribed tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid for acne scars and post-pregnancy melasma. so I'm so excited, hopefully, it works.

What pleasant person to listen every day, thank you for your advice to use each product wisely...

You should make ASMR video! Your voice is so soothing🍃

You certainly do not look your age. You look far younger. Well done! This is the perfect video for teens and 20 something’s to watch.

In my next life I will wear driving gloves as soon as I get my license.

Awesome video! I have been using retin a for 12 years and I love it. I loved everything you said 😀 Thank you!!

Started my retinol journey (using over the counter products with lower percentage of retinol) since january this year and i hope next year i can start to use tretinoin. I need to take it slowly since my skin is so dry, so the idea to jump into tretinoin right away is scary. I'm turning 25 this month so hopefully when i'm in my late 30, i have good skin like this lady 😀

Do you have an Instagram? I find your approach refreshing, grounded in science and honest. And you're an introvert just like me!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us so generously. It really helps to know what others are experiencing using the products like retinol. We love you for explaining what it was like. ❤️

You have the best skin I have ever seen! I will definitely be using Retin-A after seeing your videos. I was curious if it is possible to use Retin-A with Rosehip oil/other skin oils instead of a moisturiser?

I think you are the most genuine KZfaqr ever!!!! Amazing videos 😊😊😊😊 i am 29yrs old from uk will be buying retin a pretty soon . ☺️

Your eyelashes are so nice. Is there anyway you can show before pictures from when you didn’t use the castor oil on them?

So much appreciated Jennifer. Seeing on girls and women a lot of make up, and you don't have a bit of make up. Nothing against make up. Just you are beautiful. Love from Tampa , Bea.

Very informative, on my 30's started last week, it's been easy since we are in lockdown. Thank you for all the advice. 🤗

Thank you💫 I have taken on some of your skin care advice and it's such a delight to take it back to basics and not have to apply 101 products. My skin is thanking me for this👌💕

I am 21 so glad I discovered your channel 😍 I am gonna start using this product

You've inspired me! I just started tretinoin, as a senior. I have used sunscreen religiously since I was 22, and used AHAs and BHAs since my early 30s. I just started using castor oil last year. (I like Jojoba and squalane too, and have used snail mucin for about a year.) Now that I am using tretinoin, I have stopped the extras, because I want to simplify. So, tret and castor! In this short time, I can already feel the difference, and see more glow using the tretinoin. You are my inspo!

I am glad i found your channel early I’m almost 21 and I’m planning to start using retinoid either at 23 or 24

Thank you so much Jennifer! You are so beautiful and patient. I have done a bit research about retinoid and saw a statement of a doctor that makes me a bit worried. Can you please answer whether the following statement is true or not: He says that, “if you plaster way too much retinol on in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, you could be depleting all of those healthy cell divisions that you really should be storing for cell divisions further down your lifetime”, because the human skin can only divide a finite number of times. Again, thank you so much! I’m looking for more videos from you ^^

Thank you Jennifer. Your voice is so soothing yet the contents you’re talking about are so informative. I feel like I can listen to this all day long 😌😌😌❤️Hope you have a fabulous day.

your lashes omg I've never seen lashes that long 😩😍

Love your videos, very close to my beloved Dr.Dray's advice.. :)

This is such a great video! 🙏 I started my over the counter retinol 2 months ago, and my skin loves it! No peeling or red or discomfort anything, and the results are great! ( my skin was always looking good and smooth, but retinol makes it better by shrinking pores and give a glow to the face) I was already using Elizabeth Arden retinol capsules two years ago except I have no idea what retinol was. I guess that could be the reason why there is no side effects now. I am 26 now and am planning to stick with retinol products for a long time. I am using Murad retinol serum and creams as well as Elizabeth Arden retinol capsules. And I just ordered the Neutrogena one and the honest beauty one, can’t wait to try both! I love the Murad one buts it a little bit pricey.

Hi Beautiful! I wish I had started earlier, but it wasn't even discussed back then and I was baking in the sun in my 20's. What were we thinking? I've been using Retin A now for 5 years, started at age 47 and I love it. It's the one product I won't be without now, as well as sunscreen!! :)

I was waiting for PT 2 so eagerly. :) Thank you for ur input can't wait to see the whole video

Thank you for showing lines of expressions.... Love it

Great information sharing! And last question and answer is what I was looking for! I am consistently watching your videos. Thank you!

thanks for sharing - I love using Shiseido Eudermine as a "buffer" before Retin A 0,5 for moisture sometimes in the evening - I use Shiseido Eudermine before my sunscreen in the morning and really love it

I use retinol 0.2% with esqualano and it works so well for me 🙂. I use it every day, I had thr harshness and the pimples at first, which really scared me... but now it's OK. I've used the highest SPF my whole life and now that I'm almost 41 people think I'm 28... not kidding. Gene's, yes, but I don't smoke, don't drink and I've cut sugar almost a year ago... 💫

I'm 38 now and have been using tretinoin since 30 I guess, and worked my way up to the strength 0.1%, which has shown in studies not only to reverse the sun damage like the weaker strenghts, but actually protect from further damage, in other words, although your skin becomes more "sensitive" it actually neutralizes the destructive cellular cascade after new sun exposures... My forehead and cheeks accepted well and I only get occasional peeling and sensitivity with this strengh around the mouth and chin. Also I do use tretinoin in the eye area, even in the eye lids, and must say I never had any problem, only benefits. Unfortunately my skin isn't as perfect as yours since I have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin, but I can gladly say that at my age I don't have a single fine line on my face. I live in Brazil and here we are fortunate to be able to buy tretinoin over the counter (it doesn't need a prescription here) and very cheap indeed, even made by trustful pharmaceutical labs like Stiefel, it costs here around 10 dollars a tube of 30g. Cheers. Ps. By the way I love Charlotte Gainsbourg, too. Her Lars von Trier's movies are among my all time favorite ones.

While her skincare is great, we need to remember other points of her longlasting beauty: healthy lifestyle. For God's sake, she doing yoga, y'all!

Thank you so much for sharing your simple and effective skincare method. I am so impressed. Can you share your opinion on vitamin C for skincare?

You are so beautiful inside and out ❤️

I truly enjoy watching your videos . You have such nice personality. 🌸

MaShaAllah Beautiful your eyes ❤❤

So helpful!❤❤❤

Thank you for this excellent advice!

Your natural beauty is inspiring. Speaks volumes to what a good regimen can do . Thank you for the refreshing real content you offer. I started Retin-A.50 4 months ago, using it only once a week. I’ve recently upped it to twice a week but I still have such dry flaky skin. I hydrate around eyes nose and mouth before hand, and make sure my skin is dry etc. should I step down to .25? Or is this the expected time frame it takes to adjust to Retin-A. Thanks in advance for any info you can offer! ❤️

Very informative! Thank you 🥰

Love that you admire Charlotte Gainsbourg.

wow! your videos are gold! so happy I found your channel

Ur smile is gorgeous ❤❤

I just love your content! Very informative!

You don't look greasy, you look glassy and beautiful

This was really helpful.

Upload your complete hair routine in a week And products you use for hair Like shampoo oil or serums etc

Great info! Thank you!😊

You are so beautiful!!! 😳 thank you for sharing your beauty tips ❤️

really loved it !! keep up the good work!! expecting these types of videos !! thank you much for sharing!! Lots of love ❤❤❤

your eyelashs are soooooo magical so beautiful

Thank you so much just ordered differin. Blessings to you❤

I am using isotretinoin 0.05 erythromycin 2 can you please tell me if this is anti aging and good for acne ?? Thank you so much

Dear lord! At 22 i did not know anything about skin care

Thank you so much for the informative video! I’m about to turn 22 in two weeks and I’m going to have a consultation with my local dermatologist to start with Tretinoin as soon as possible (I’m also an avid sunscreen user). One question; how often do you moisturise the skin on your body? After every shower? Or daily? Should I care to moisturise the rest of my body at such a young age? Thanks again 🙏🏻

Have you ever thought switching to retinaldehyde? It is a gentler version of tretinoin but without the side effects and studies show that it is as effective as tretinoin.

Retin A and Sunscreen are god send

can you add links to your products in the description or at perhaps just the names?

I LOVE seaweed, however I can only eat a very small amount because more than that and my body has an inflammatory-like reaction. My bowels feel aggravated and my skin becomes sensitized with a few itchy rashes. I think it might be the carrageenan in the seaweed, or the iodine. Such a shame though because it contains minerals, vitamins and nutrients. It also makes for a great snack. If interested in seaweed, look for Kaiso salad mix. It’s a Japanese mixture of dried seaweeds, some of them are actually very pretty looking. You rehydrate them with water. The woman at my Japanese specialty store told me to dress it with a sesame dressing and it is delicious that way.

Love your stuff! Thanks for making videos! 🤍

Hey jennifer! You look amazing 😍 I was wondering if you sleep on your back or are you a stomach sleeper?

Thank you for answering my q Jennifer ,,,do you have an affiliate link or an amazon favorite page ? I would like to give you credit for my purchase of your recommended products

You definitely DO NOT look your age! You look 27 max.. to me that is😊

I would love to start your regimen! Gotta start early I see! I will recommend to my sisters,

can you please tell me how or when you stop using your tretnoin in summers? how you take a break from it like in which months you use and in which months you don't (and also what you use when you don't use tretnoin)? patiently waiting for your answer 😌❤️

I'm 26 and I've been debating whether to start either differin or tretinoin soon as I do suffer from acne still. Either way I will definitely at some point be on tretinoin for anti aging and I hope to look like you in 12 years!!

That me 22 and I have been using tretinoin for almost a year as my goal is preventative anti-aging.

Hi! I just discovered your channel while I was researching about castor oil. I did used to apply castor oil on my lashes and brows since both are sparse borderline nonexistent lol. Since it was difficult for me to study (I was a 3rd yr medical student at that time) while having the castor oil on my lashes and unintentionally on my eyes, I eventually stopped applying it. I'd like to give it another go one of these days. Also, I have been so interested in incorporating Vit. A in my skincare routine but I get so intimidated by some of the effects it might have on my skin (such as dryness, purging). Do you have any advices for a beginner in topical retinol/retinoid products? By the way, I love your personality and your calm energy. I aspire to have such a calm and poised demeanor with such beautiful skin and lashes as you do. And I just learned that you tested positive for COVID. I hope you're well right now and healthy despite contracting the virus in the past.

You are just wonderful 🤍 Wish you will be back with your sensitive videos... best wishes from Lithuania...

Jennifer, can you show a demonstration of your Retin A application? I’m curious how you treat the area around your eyes. I know many use too much or too little.
