I've normally been using Jiranium as it has been my go to for anti aging skincare after a friend introduced me, and it made a huge difference. Appreciate these additional tips, especially the tretinion which i have not heard of

you look Great!!! I thought you were about 28-33 years old MAX! During the years, I have tried almost everything to look younger, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight). However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for under 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm in my 20s again, but definitely not 58 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.

Damn. This was a breath of fresh air.
No fluff, straight to the point, and super authentic. Thank you for making me feel like I’m learning something, and not just being sold products!

All you need is vitamin c & sunscreen in the morning and prescription retinoid and moisturizer at night with an occasional acid (weekly/biweekly) that’s introduced as your skin begins tolerating the retinoid. Learned this from working in derm. This will help reverse aging/damage done.

As a woman who will be 63 on March 23rd of this year, I absolutely LOVE how effective tretinoin is on the skin!! I wear a sunscreen of at least 30 every day. If I am going to be outside, I wear a 50 or 60 sunscreen religiously and reapply as well. I also double cleanse and use good ingredients for my skin. I definitely want to age gracefully and look like myself. I have used Botox but only twice a year. I get very little and only in my forehead and temple area. That’s all I need really. I don’t mind the aging process but I don’t want to look worn and tired. I’m grateful to be my age and hope to live a long life. Thank you for your transparency in sharing your skin care. You are such an amazing and inspiring woman to me!!

I started with .025% tretinoin at 32, and echo all of the things you said about it. Tret and consistent sunscreen have kept my skin looking so youthful. I also wanna give a shoutout to tretinoin for working amazingly well on stretch marks (both new/red and old/silver). I use 0.1% on my body 3 times per week, wherever stretch marks have developed, and it has significantly faded them everywhere. It is really a miracle product.

If you’re a beginner with skin care and plan to use retin A, I would omit the alpha hydroxy acid at first! Can definitely increase sensitivity and irritation

[DaltonsFriendswood]

Important to note that you MUST use sunscreen daily to maintain any benefits you get from skincare!

When I turned 30, my derm put me on retinol immediately. I’ve been wearing sunscreen religiously since I was 16 and that combined with the retinol is why no one ever guesses I’ll be 45 tomorrow. If you’re having trouble building a tolerance to retinols, try putting your moisturizer on first. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then apply the retinol. It helps keep that irritation at bay

[amyhays]

I've been using tretinoin since age 18, and I'm turning 44 next month. It is the gold standard for anti aging! I mix .01 with Cetaphil facial cream, and use nightly. I'm often mistaken for a decade or more younger. No cosmetic procedures as of yet, but I might try a filler under the eyes. Thank you for such a refreshing, honest video. You look AMAZING. ❤

I think your plastic surgeries helped a lot honestly

[MSUSPARTANS]

I don’t want to take the importance away from sunscreen, buuut…Genetics play a way bigger role in the way you look. My mom is 92 and looks 72. I’m 50 and look 35. Up until I was 43, I did every possible thing wrong for decades- smoked my brains out, slept in makeup, no sunscreen, washed my face with shower gel, ate fast food and junk food daily, you name it. I had a little whitehead here and there, but that’s it. Today, I have a little pigmentation, but no lines, or crepey skin. I don’t have that “smoker face, ” or “smoker voice”“ really nothing negative ..externally. I have fresh faced, bouncy skin- that I inherited from my mom. With ALL that said, if you have acne or bad skin, that is a condition. There are a lot of products that can help big time!

SPF is a must. I like timeless vitamin c and for trentanion, I use Agency It’s a subscription service and you don’t need a dermatologist, but you do get monitored. People do not believe I am 60. I love Hot and Flashy here on YouTube for my skin regime.

[matcam]

Hi Marlena, excellent video. As a 52 year old woman, who has taken care of her skin since late 20's, i would give the most important tip. Use SPF each day on your face, easier to prevent then to treat. I often shock people they actually think i am 35 yrs. I never miss a day of using SPF .. Often people think i am my hubby daughter not his wife lol, he is 58yrs. Lol ..i also use Paula's choice retinol aha's bha's, i 100% agree take care of your skin. If you look at french women they spend lots on skincare more so than makeup and they always look chic . Btw you look amazing. I have followed you since you first started on YouTube. Love your honesty.

Works for Medical Skincare company 🙋🏼‍♀️ A, B, C’s of skincare:
Retinoid, SUNSCREEN, and Vit C! Every single person needs to be on them! Sunscreen is the best line of defense for anti-aging. 💜

[soniak]

I religiously use Tretinoin, I exfoliate, and use vitamin C. I am also a stickler with sunscreen and avoiding the sun and have done these things since my late 20’s. Unfortunately as a child and a teen I was not smart about skin protection, so I do still have some sun damage.

Skincare is paramount for the texture and clarity of your skin. But you cannot alter the SAGGING that happens as you age unless you address with tweakments/procedures. My skin texture is amazing, and i have minimal sun spots at almost 40….. but gravity is starting to slowly show, and no skin care can change this. Genetics plays a HUGE role in this, as well as lifestyle (smoking, poor diet)

That being said, take care of your skin and your health and don’t sweat the inevitable aging that happens over time. Aging is a privilege!

Marlena you are gorgeous, it is clear you take great care of your skin! Beautiful inside and out, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks for aging gracefully ❤

I'm 47. If you're not on insurance or whatever, the only drugstore retinol that REALLY made a difference (used on a regular basis) for me was ROC and Neutrogena SA. The Ordinary brand's retinol didn't work for me. I recommend shopping around for sales at the usual drug stores and Ulta.

The one VERY, VERY important product I have to mention is :

SPF !!!!

The aging elements from the sun are the ones that really cause our skins to age. Slapping on a high strength spf everyday is crucial to having younger looking skin.

Love ya loads Marlena, you're awesome
