Top Tretinoin Tips! How to Use Tretinoin Without Irritation | Tretinoin Mistakes

I started Tretinoin .10% about 28 years ago. I never use a moisturizer before applying and use soap to wash my face. It literally took me about 2 years before my face was accustomed to it. I do use it around my eyes. I will be 60 in a couple of months and grew up in the south, baking in the sun. I highly recommend everyone use Tretinoin if you can! Don’t give up. It can be rough but it’s worth it!!

This is super helpful! I’ve learned a lot about tret over the last year or two, but you’ve laid out all the info very nicely here. Well done!

Great vid thank you! I've been on 0.025 tret for just over 2 months (dermatica) and have started to slowly reintroduce acids (starting with pha which is a more gentle acid). Honestly the hardest part about tret use is exercising self control! I really want to use my pha all the time to try and fast forward 🤣

A couple things to add about my tret journey, patience absolutely key, cannot use on neck so I mix a bit of lotion with it and apply. Works fine no irritation. I've started using on arms and hands also. These areas always get sun. My hands look better (less brown sun spots) - This was very gradual, but after a few years I can see a difference. Sensitivity on arms, yes. Not as bad as neck, but be careful. Hands, no sensitivity really. What a great video, thank you so much! Details, strength is .05, using for 5 years, 59 yo, very fair skin.

hi Abbey!! I'm watching after a 16 hour shift. I stayed extra because people called in. so this is my shower time video. thank you!

[jmcd]

1 of the best tret guides I've seen. Will be referring back to it once i start using it

I’ve gotten lucky with Tretinoin, I started at 0.05 and with naturally dry skin I thought I was in for a wild ride but I was able to work up to nightly after a month and it was only after about two months I got some mild peeling then since then only the tiniest amount every now and then. It’s incredible how much better my skin looks, Tretinoin, vitamin c and sunscreen are the most amazing skin products ever.

Your channel is helping me learn how to prioritize my self-care again.🥰

[jmwonderland]

Thank you! I just got Tretinoin and I’m so excited 😃

[InesMarjanovic]

Abbey! Love your videos because you cover soooo much and different price ranges not to mention you just seem to have a lovely personality that really comes through the camera :) Would you ever do a clean beauty/skincare video? Or maybe you have ones I didn’t see. Ty!

[deannahornby]

As a licensed esthetician these are wonderful tips. Great job girl !

[simoneisabelleortega]

I'm currently between phases, I suppose. I do it every other night and always use moisturizer last. I'd like to see a video with a night and morning routing with product details at phase 5!

[allison_may]

Even though I’ve been using tret through Curology/Agency for a couple of years, I still love these videos! I always learn something new!

[loriedelvillar]

I have used retina A for many years since my 20's and I'm 47 years and my skin looks great. You can add glycerin with retin A, it the cocktail of greatness! Try it. I wash my face with face wash and coconut oil and it leaves your skin super smooth. Always wear sunscreen I recommend Elta MD line. It's amazing! All the best! Thank you for sharing.

[nicolevaniderstine]

I just got my tret delivered and I’m trying it for the first time tonight! Perfect timing!!!

[tinat]

Great tips! I could have used this video about a year ago. I did almost all the wrong things 😆. Side note...your channel has really grown since I started watching. Very well deserved! Congrats!

[LizbetPCB]

Hi Abbey ☺️ Your videos are always so helpful, so thank you!

I have used Tretinoin for about a year and I started out using it every other day at first. I always slug with Aquaphor after application. I have had very little irritation as a result of applying in this way. I am now using .050 and it's been a game changer. This is the real deal but has to be used consistently and results don't show up for about 6 months in my opinion.

[Alexellis]

I’ve been on tretinoin since I was 14 I’m 28 now I have had some flaking at the beginning but it’s a game changer def would recommend it. I’m on .1% now past 6 years and sunscreen reapplying 3 times a day best anti-aging skincare routine in the world
