[BAO]

I used my mom’s tretinoin as a teen and young adult. She was prescribed the highest strength and I used it as a spot treatment to remove hyperpigmentation after pimples. It was a miracle cream to me! It took dark marks away very quickly. Maybe it worked so well cause I was younger. In my early 30s, I used it twice per day for 6 months to even out my skin tone. I reached for it because I never forgot how well it worked. I don’t know what I was thinking using it twice per day! It did help but started causing lighter patches around my eyes. They weren’t very noticeable but I stopped and my skin tone evened out. Now I use the highest strength once per day at night 4X per week for anti-aging. I’m 44 and just now seeing fine lines on my forehead. It’s funny cause now it’s hard to tell whether it’s working!

Glad to know that people of colour can start anti aging products like tretinoin in their late 20s :)
The pressure to start as soon as possible is very high, all over the Internet

These tips aren’t for everyone. As a black woman in my mid 20s I’ve been using Tretinoin for 3 years and am now on 0.1% cream. Haven’t had irritation using the higher strength. I apply Vaseline to sensitive areas like around eyes, mouth, nose corners. I didn’t like the sandwich method and got bad results from it. Now after washing I use a humectant like glycerin with water as an essence or hyaluronic acid, wait 30mins go in with Tret, wait again and moisturise and seal it with a facial oil. This has really helped with hyperpigmentation and acne scarring and my skin looks juicier than ever lol. I don’t think “one size fits all”. Like Niacinamide is apparently good for hyperpigmentation so I stuck with it for years and it’s really made no difference

I started tret at .025% almost exactly a month ago, and I can definitely see the difference it is making in my overall facial appearance. I've mostly used it just every other night, but went up to nightly this week. Glad to hear that it's just as effective at lower doses as higher ones. I've had almost no peeling or purging (just a little in what would be my goatee zone if I was a man). I use a very oil moisturizer over it and a simply bakuchiol cream under it. I think I'll just stay at this strength and not bother trying to go up any.

I have been using Tretinoin 0.05 % since past 1.5 years.
Hardly any irritation, no flaking, no itching.
Loving the results.

[iloveu]

I've been using your body pigmentation kit and have been blown away by results in just 3 weeks. Your inzincable has been a game changer too, it's so moisturising and non-chalky. I can't WAIT for a full skincare line!!!!

[ritaherrington]

Thank you Dr V you have answered a lot of questions about this product. Outstanding explanation of pros and cons of the product.

[kajolsharma]

Hi Dr V, thank you for always helping our SOC family! Can you please review the brand Skinstitut, in particular their gentle cleanser, multi active mist, retinol, enzymatic peel, sunscreen and whatever else you can! xx

[busymomfashionista]

I have somewhat sensitive skin. Recently I am getting more bumps in the cheeks. They are not pimples, but more like reaction from something that I can’t figure out yet. I have 2 requests:
1. Can you please please do a skincare routine for bumpy skin texture? How to get a smoother skin?
2. Can you please review Biossance product?
Thank you so much for all of your useful content. I am a Big Fan!

[jengenny]

I just binged watch your videos and I'm really happy I found you. I would say I'm lazy when it comes to skin care but you gave so much knowledge that made me understand how important self-care is. I learned a lot literally. Not to mention I'm a woman of color. Love lots from Philippines.

[sohamlodhi]

Dr rattan your doing an amazing job at clearing doubts regarding skincare actives cause mostly people use them improperly and open the way for an impending disaster I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️ for that you spare time from your busy schedule and make such informative videos for us I want you to keep making such great content . 👍👍👍

[Angelic]

Thank you so much Dr. V!! Every time I have a new skin concern, your video is right there uploaded just in time haha!! Appreciate your education so much!!

[trinichandy]

Glad to know that people of color can start anti aging products like tretinoin. Thanks for your review.

[shawnandre]

A dermatologist prescribed this cream for me at .01 % and it burnt me so badly! I wish many doctors (dermatologist) have the knowledge to know that you can give skin of color such high percentages.. Dr. V advises over the year brought my skin back!!
