20 Year Results of Using Tretinoin

*Disclaimer: Content is for informational purposes only. You must consult a board-certified, licensed physician to obtain a tretinoin prescription and receive individualized treatment guidance in accordance with this drug. Never purchase prescription retinoids (or any other prescription drug for that matter) from any website.*

Twenty years ago I began using prescription-strength topical retinoids - tazarotene (Tazorac®) and tretinoin are the two I've tried; ultimately, I stuck w/tretinoin and have continued its usage to current day. Now, at 41, I couldn't be happier with my decision. It is why I'm excited to share my experience and results w/this product.

Tretinoin does not interfere with but rather *delays* the visible signs of aging (i.e. fine lines, wrinkles, dull & uneven tone, inconsistent texture, sagging skin/loss of firmness...) which is what makes it so remarkable. There is ~80% increase in collagen production in skin treated w/tretinoin. Additionally, the results are such that the longer you use it, the better the results over time - I've now been using tretinoin for half my life, and I can attest to this!

If you've watched any of my skincare demos, you'll notice how low maintenance I am. I focus on efficacy of active ingredients (retinoid in the evening & titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide, plus Vitamin C in the morning).

Consistent use of tretinoin has enabled me to spend very little time on my skin yet achieve these results. If I'm not filming myself and speaking while doing so, I spend ~5-6 min total per day, split between AM & PM, tending to my skin.

Above all I rely on simplicity & sustainability of routine (habit) so that I can remain consistent w/my skincare regimen for *life* and thus achieve max results w/minimal effort; at minimal cost, too. (It is also a tremendous time- and money-saver in that you can achieve "makeup-optional" skin.)

Overall I'm very satisfied with my results and so I wish to encourage people to explore this topical (noninvasive) treatment option.

I will continue to watch her videos even if she talks only about same 3 products in every video. Just keeps me so motivated.

[jakephineas]

started it at 18 for acne, and you've inspired me to never give up even throughout the purging process, THANK YOU JENNIE!!!

[Femmefatale]

You're the reason I began using tretinoin. I'm 32 and I'm beginning to be told I don't look my age, thank you!

[reigner]

I’ve been on tret for almost 4 years now, I’m 35 and I love it. You look freaking 25! I’m gonna use tret as long as I can do it. Amazing product.

[surecom]

You look like you are between 20-27 years of age...incredible.

You're the only skincare blogger on YouTube that I genuinely trust. Thank you ❣️

She was the first person who openly spoke about tretinoin!! I started searching about it … I’ve been using it now.. from last 1 year I guess and my skin has never been this beautiful

[rizamcguire]

I've used differin for about 10 years and tretinoin for about 5 for adult acne. I'm 38 now, and my skin looks so much better than it did in my 20s. Using those plus sunscreen, gentle facewash, and moisturizer on my face, neck, chest, and backs of hands really has made a world of difference.

One of the things I appreciate about topical retinoids is how they simplify the rest of your routine. Basics are best, and looking after the skin is king. 12-step routines with multiple actives just seems like asking for trouble.

[Janedoe]

You are the reason why I started using tretinoin and I absolutely am so glad that I found your channel.

[ajalusigift]

When I saw this video notification I was so excited without even watching yet. You'll always be my favorite

[louiseedwardspeasybellafon]

I love your videos because you keep your routine simple. I only use retin a and have for 13 years. I am 51 and have no wrinkles. Retin A is all you need.xx

[Candace]

I’ve been using castor oil instead of eye cream ever since I heard you say you did that and I LOVE it! You’re 100% right about it’s efficacy. Thank you!!!

[yhyuk]

Everybody are so jealous and mean in the comments omg

She has the most beautiful and healthy looking skin - what y'all talking about?

[mlancholia]

Everything she highlights in this video is accurate. Tretinoin is a long game. I'm 28 years old and I've been using tretinoin for 8 years, starting when I was 20 years old due to cystic acne outbreaks. I apply it all over my face, including the eye and nasolabial area, and it definitely gives me the most benefits, especially around the eye area where I don't develop crow's feet. At this point, I can safely say that thanks to tretinoin and religious application of sunscreen, my skin quality is better than that of my peers. I often get mistaken for being in my early 20s. So, if you plan to use tretinoin just push through and have faith that you'll reap the benefits in the long run.

I started my retinol journey last year cuz im now 24. I was so naive that time and damaged my skin barrier gave me bad acne breakouts, I never had breakouts even on my teens, i had to rest for a few months and now back on retinol, im so glad i found your channel because you really inspire me on your commitment on an anti aging lifestyle and i try to incorporate it in my daily life thank youu

[loredanav]

Wow ! Great video ! To the point and a testament to the product and the process that you are taking about.
These are the type of “influencers” I’m looking for lately. I can’t with the ones that have a different “holy grail “ every month.
Thank you for making this video!😊

[daybyday]

I love your consistency and how authentic you are. I have been implementing these tips since your earlier videos and my skin just keeps getting better... No fancy products and no wishy washy new products every week. These simple products work the best and are the most budget friendly. I really appreciate your honestly and staying true to yourself and sharing.

I don’t use Tretinoin. I use Adapalene 0.1% doesn’t matter the brand (Acne Free, Differin, La Roche Posay, generic, etc). I’ve been it consistently for 2-3 years along with my regular skincare routine including daily sunscreen and my skin improved so much. Adapalene is so gentle and non irritating for my combination skin. Thank you for inspiring me to use it.
