Love the vertical setting of this. It's a lot easier to hold the phone and be attentive while watching 😃

Just want to say your videos are the most helpful and useful that I have found! I have seen so many dermatologists and none have ever explained this or taken the time with me to discuss this and address my personal concerns. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🙏🏻

I love the CeraVe moisturizing cream. I massage it into the corners of my mouth and around my eyes before applying tretinoin 💖

[lesliefrazier]

Thank you for explaining what to do! Your whole video was just so easy for me to understand! Also no sponsorship plugs!❤️❤️

[Katskorner]

Thank you. Your tips and recommendations are helpful. I appreciate how you included affordable drugstore moisturizers.

Thank you for the great info!
Once tretinoin is tolerated for daily use for anti aging, is it recommended to increase concentration or is it not necessary?

[beastie]

Don’t really see you address purging at all. Just the dryness and redness…. Everytime I try ret the purge never ends and I give up.

This was incredibly helpful- thank you!!!

What can be prescribed by a dermtologist for a burn on the face from tretinoin? I accidentally combined it with something else and got a burn. Trying to use something that will help with hyperpigmentation that is there now. I know there's ointments and creams, but what would be good rx for a mild burn and scar care. I'm a medium light Hispanic skin.

4:40 But my Dermat said you shouldn't use emollients over retinoids because they are thicker and lock it in hence increasing their strength and irritation

[DivaEagle]

I love your videos. Thank you so much!

Hi ! There
I have a serious Question for all of u that What Do I use during the nights when I'm not using my retinol ....I m a beginner & I'm using La Roche Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser + Kiehl's Retinol Micro dose Serum + Cerave Moisturizer In Night.
In Morning I use Cleanser + Paula's Choice Vitamic C + Isntree hyaluronic Acid water gel sunscreen.

So if we have dry sensitive skin and are just using retinol for anti-aging purposes it’s better to stick with OTC products and we will get same results as prescription?

What can you do on the day's that you're not using Tret. Like if you're only using it twice a week. Is there things extra that you could Do on your off days? Like you mentioned, slugging is not recommended with it. But what about the day after when you're not using trett? Are there things throughout the week? On the days you're not using that ingredient that can help your skin tolerate it better?

[jilliansmith]

It doesn't affect the efficacy? Everybody else says it lowers the dose... And not as Much ingredient is absorbed

[aldolopez]

Why this video came out so late?😭I´m suffering a terrible irritation in my skin cause I used a benzoyl peroxide cleanser when my skin hadn't gotten used to adapalene that I just started one month ago 😔

[Thereisonlyone]

Can I use the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream during the day as well? I have dry skin and just started with tretinoin.
If not what do you recommend I use on the days I don’t use tretinoin and also what to use during the day in general with dry skin

[HaloHighlightz]

3:18 to clarify, stop using other actives totally (AM and PM?) when starting or just when you’re applying the retinoid (PM routine)? If stopping totally, how long would you say until one can start it back, in the event that the skin is handling the retinoid well.

I’m oily skin and using the cerave moisturiser cream in the tub :)

Do you apply tret before moisturiser?
