Is Tretinoin the BEST Treatment For Acne? | Dr Sam Bunting

- One of the oldest retinoids but still one of the best and certainly the most studied as it’s been used in dermatology since the 1960s. Retinoids are central to the treatment of acne because of their multi-pronged attack on the acne pathway. Perhaps most importantly, is their ability to target the micro-comedone - the precursor of all acne lesions, hence the importance of retinoids in preventing disease relapse.

I'm in my fourth week with tretinoin 0.025 and it works incredibly 😭❤️ I don't mind with the purging because when it heals, it glows and make my skin less oily. God luck for everyone who's fighting with acne 💪
Update?
@@jamienoe7531 hey, I don't have huge pores again right now. I think it's because Tretinoin makes my skin look plump. I was an acne fighter for 6 years since high school. Now I'm almost 26 and never have concern about acne anymore 😭 Everytime I met someone struggling with acne I will always tell them to wear tretinoin at night and SPF in the morning. That's it!!! game changer! I don't even use toner, essence, and other serums again. 😭 It's not a myth tho, it's scientifically proven that Tretinoin is one of the best anti aging ❤️
@@handlebar246 for how long should use tretionin? R u still applying it?
@@redleo4257 if you want to see the result, at least use it for 3 months. I'm still using it now, cause it reduces fine lines.
@@ChristopherCazares-Ibarr-ri9lw only at night. Don't use Tretinoin during the day!! And don't forget to use sunscreen in the morning 👍🏻
I’m in my fourth week with 0.05, and love it so far. Bit sensitive and flaky sometimes, but the glow I have is insane. The spots and pimples go away so fast. Can’t wait for next month
Keep going - it'll get easier!
Do you use it daily or twice a week
@@silavie1378 in my first 2 weeks I used it once/ twice a week. Then 3 times a week for 3 weeks. And now since two weeks I use is every other day.
@@irisje777 thank you for helping me ! I don't know why but in my weird experience with tretinoin i notice sagging skin and i'm still in my early 20s ! It's realy helful in case brightening and glow but my cheeks are more down saggy now 🤯 did you notice anything like that ?
@@silavie1378 no, I have not :(
Here for Dr Sam's advice. She is truly the best!
I follow her because of you 💟 from Uruguay!
I love you Wayne. I subscribe to both of you 🙂
Ahhhh, makes me so happy! ❤️
i realize I am kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

Quick, easy and simple! Loved this video
This was very simple, precise, clear, and to the point and I found the answer to my question in it! One of the best videos I watched for you.
Thank you
Been using 0.025 and have zero irritation 👍🏻
I am too scared to use😌...what is your skin type
@Andréia Meyer did you start off everyday?
Me too! I put it over my moisturizer
@@Rose-px6cg What type of moisteriser do you use? I use the CeraVe one, which is full of fat, so I worry that tretinoin won't work over it.
@@MomoSimone22 I use either vanicream face lotion or cerave skin renewing night cream. I had extremely light peeling along my jaw the first week or so but that was it.
I love this video, nice short and straight to the point. Instead of a long ass video repeatedly saying the same thing
Just started this treatment, thanks for the video!
Hello Dr. Sam, thanks for all your videos which gives a great insight on how to tackle common skin problems. I would like to know from you if it is advisable to use tret under the eye and in the crow's feet area in the late 20s when one can start seeing fine lines?
You always have the best videos. Thank you
Your skin looks fab in this video.
Thank you Sam. I'll be starting tretinoin next week as I have malasma (how to spell it) and many years ago I burnt my face with hot soup (a whole other story) and it removed my freckles. Consequently, although (luckily) no scarring, I have these kind of non freckled patches on my left cheek (on my face).
Saw many videos this is the shortest & you have gathered all the important info. into this 2 min video!
You are the best ♥
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
@@DrSamBunting Please is good for stretch marks 🙏?
As always, super helpful and informative, thank you!! I've been using tretinoin for a few years now and I love it! Still haven't managed to get it to every other night and quite enjoy an evening off, but it works like magic :) xx
Excellent!
This is so exciting to hear! Just starting on .025
i have been using 0.05% tretinoin for about 8 months now approaching november as of date to combat my hormonal acne(oof Im embarrassed to show my face sometimes haha). it is said that dramatic results would normally show after 3 months but for me it was 4 months. occasional acne flairs gradually decreased and in addition to using azelaic acid, completely halted. Now after 8 months, my complexion improved by leaps and bounds!. For the irritation, I used a moisturizer that contains panthenol (cosrx) , I still experience irritation but very very mild as I'm increasing the dose gradually. All in all, tretinoin is a miracle worker, my complexion is smooth and dewyyy now!. i started tretinoin because of your past videos and also dr dray. Thank you!!
Hormonal acne is the worst! I wonder if i should use retinoic acid for the rest of my life lmao
Did you use azelaic acid overnight with tretinoin or every other night alone
Dr, which one of These 3 Serums would you Choose to fight adult acne and aging. Which one would be the Most effective in reference to their Ingredients?
1.La Roche Posay Effaclar Serum
2.Skinceuticals Blemish+Age Defense Serum
3.Dr.Dennis Gross Pore Refining Serum
Thank you so so much
Very informatives videos from Dr.Sam..really appreaciate if u can include english subtitles in your video so that it can be understood by follower..thank you
I finally got the chance to get a prescription retinoid Tret 0.025% + Nicinamide 😍. I'm just trying to finish my Medik8's Retinal 0.06%. I've rewatched your Retinoid Mastery guide Dr Sam many times and it really helped me build confidence to using retinoids and now I am reaping the rewards. Thank you!
Really love your videos ma'am ❤️
Dr Sam
Can you suggest some Matt finish sunscreen for all season?
I used Tretinoin 0.1% every other night.
Thank you so much ❤
I’ve been using tretinoin for about 2 years consistently and my skin has gotten so much better!!! I will get a couple pimples through out the month still but a significant improvement! It’s expensive here in the US but it’s worth it!
Great news!
@@DrSamBunting can this control the oiliness of skin?
Thanks. This is great
I’ve been prescribed Duac gel...it gave my confidence back...acne improved Incredibly!
I do still get some under the skin spots around the jawline... would it be worth me swapping to tret?
Tazarotene is so much better for my skin. After 15 plus years of Retin-A-and I even try Altreno (tretinoin) 0.05% lotion--I tried and fell in love with Tazorac 0.1% cream. OMG this retinoid had less irritation, no peeling, and gave me better results.
I’ve seen Doctor Shah and Doctor Maxfield listed this on thei channel Doctorly, great product
is this effective on post inflammatory erythema or hyperpigmentation only??
been using for nearly a month and i must say, out of all the treatments so far this one is actually very effective for acne.
how do you apply it and for how long, do you wash your face or leave it?
Fantastic Video 🦋
I get Tret in my Curology! Been using my formula for 8 months and have noticed such a difference in my skin!
How did you get tret in your curology?
@@MsSugarlips21 When I first signed up, I knew that I really wanted to have tret in my formula and I just asked my provider! I’ve been using it for about 10 months and over this time, she slowly upped my dose each time I asked. I was super impressed with that.
@@allison_may thanks for the information!
WONDERFUL !!
❤
I have been using .1% tretinoin for 20 years. That is my skin care routine along with moisturizer and Tizo-3 sunscreen tinted and non tinted. I have been to several dermatologists and they are amazed on how my skin looks. And a plus, when I go out with my 33 year old son people think we are siblings. I’m 59!
Great video,the retino-a micro is good in treating milia?
Hey Dr. Sam, I hope you can read this. My doctor prescribed me with benzac and tretinoin. I am also using niacinamide, how can i make a routine out of all this product?
Gonna start today wish me luck everyone! *fingers crossed* Been using retinol 1% for 4 weeks already but moving to tretinoin
Thank you for your informative videos!
Which one would you pick between tretinoin and adapalene? I've been using adapalene to treat acne and worked very well, but I want to switch to tretinoin because of its cumulative benefits against aging and acne.
I'm also currently using the adapalene gel but my dermatologist said that once I finished my adapalene I should switch to .05 of tretinoin
Tretinoin if you’re ready!
I was wondering why the benefits seemed slower for the last few months. I’m on the middle strength. Then I heard you say at some point I can increase from pea size to finger tip size amount. Omg, I’ve never heard that before. Where was I??? Thought I read everything. I’ve been using for almost 2 yrs. Thank you so so much. Commenters- it pays to replay! Just a blip can go unnoticed.
Informative
Hi I love your videos but please can you do one about epiduo
I think it really is the best treatment for acne
Dear Dr. Sam,
I am preparing myself to use 0.025 tretinoin.
Can i use COSRX ultimate nourishing rice overnight mask as my moisturizer and pyunkang yul essence toner together with tretinoin?
Can you talk about Azleic acid and Glycolic acid. When to use them in a daily routine. Thx.
have been using 0.05% ointment (prescribed by my dermatologist) for my comedones and discoloration. its my first week and my skin is sensitive but not flakey. will update.
Hi what you meant by ointment? I just wanted to get more info about retinol... I know only gel or cream
update
one of a Top U tuber
Just started the 0.025 last week and I can already see my skin getting slightly better
Did you get a flare up?
What face washes are safe to use before putting it on? What ingredients aren’t safe to be used with it?
I just started again tretinoin, 🥚literally my 1st week. 🐣Nervous with possible purging effect. 😢Regret that I ever stopped few years back, but now I know better and going to use it religiously for the rest of my life. ✨
i’m on my first week too! good luck🥴
Good luck to us luv! Let’s cheer up each other 🌹
any results?
Are you still using?
Dr. I need your help, so ive been used differin gel for almost 2 months now. I asked my dad to buy a new one and the pharmacist gave him a tretinoin gel instead. What says you? Can i use it?
Is this usually a prescription? Which products do you recommend?! Ty love your channel!
You can only get it by prescription
Thanks for sharing from Philippines here
Thank you doctor but what about the teratogenic risks of this treatment ???
It's been a month since I use trerinoin, hoping it will go away my small bumps and pimples
Thank you!!! 😊
Do you have any advice for a teenage son prescribed Isotretinoin/Roaccutane who is 6 weeks in to treatment and still seeing significant purging?
My daughter has been using tretinoin .025 for four months and is starting to break out.Her skin improved really well the first three months.Is this a temporary purge?I watched a recent video on an ingredient in this product that can irritate the skin.I cant remember the name but she said it was in the cream and not the gel.
Hi Dr. Sam. Can I use TNS Essential Serum growth factor first prior to my retinaldehyde? If I let it dry completely? Thank you!
0.025 made me purge, especially in my chin... I almost gave up but I didn’t. 3 months later, my skin is finally clear and it looks so nice, I don’t even wear make up anymore. My question is, do I have to use it for the rest of my life? How do I know when I need to go up?
When you get the results you want it is recommended to slowly decrease the use of it. So if you use tretinoin daily, start using 4 days a week, then 3 days a week, and if you face still looks clear you can then stop using it. It is not recommended to just stop using after you got the result because the acne can go back as fast as you think.
You can obviously stop using it but don’t be mad when ur acne comes back , ima use it for the rest of my life , its even good for anti aging .
oh thank you, you said it took 3 months so at least I know but I am frustrated not with you but because I was told 6 weeks x( ugh
@@24kbrand0n2 same 😎 my skin is so clear and soft!!!
@@abigaillll._ dAmn my skin is soft as hell too but I’m still having acne breakouts here and there , I think the new breakouts are from anxiety and mental health issues, Atleast that’s the case for me .
Tretinoin vs Retinol Serum...Which one should I use?
Hi Dr. Sam I'm Leah from Philippines. I started tretinoin 3 weeks ago I still experiencing purging but because of your videos I am committed to stick to it. I hope it goes well 🙏. My question is I am working out almost on a daily basis and we need to wear mask while working out. I noticed it makes my skin so red. Any advice on this? Also I am considering adding the ordinary niacinamide and Azaleic acid to my routine but don't know when to put it on 😅
where did you buy your tretinoin?
Can you do a video on chest acne treatment recommendations
Is there any long term harm associated with using the gel version of tret due to its alcohol content?
Can it make your skin get wrinkly when you first use it?
Used it for a while and it made such a huge difference! It is flaky on my chin so I don’t use it often there. Also, you are more prone to dryness and sunburn. I had horrible sunburn once with it so I stopped using it for a bit. If your gonna use it use a thick hydrating moisturizer . I use la roche posay cicaplast baume b5
do you apply cicaplast before or after putting on tretinoin?
@@yunaaa360 after
Hi guys, do you use this only on the acne area? or safe to use it for the whole face?
Is it the best anti aging cream as well

Cosrx snail essence twice a day
Cosrx birch sap moisturizer twice a day
Retin a 0.05 % three nights in a week

I'm using epiduo forte for 2 months now. Can I use Tretinoin in replacement of epiduo?
What do you think of Tazarotene for antiaging?
at first I had a very bad experience with tritinoin because of the purge but believe me now its been a year and I don't get any pimple and break out for the first time in my life something has work for my skin iam so thankful to tritinoin even tho i almost gave up in my purge days but I did start it again after few weeks and now my skin is clear it feels like everything below my face has recovered and all the acne causing infection has gone that is why my skin isn't catching any more pimples...
Hi Dr Sam, thank you for the sharing. May I know does it dangerous if we use tretinoin 0.05 but facing headache (more like a pressure on head & forehead) on the next day. Persist even after taking paracetamol. **no peeling or skin burn
Im on my 3 months of using tretinoin. I realized that the acne itself doesn't flare up again. But, the PIE or redness and acne scar still last on my face. On a daily skincare routine i always put sunscreen on my face and reapply every 3 hours. Any suggest/recomendation ingredients to handle the PIE/redness and acne scar? Thank you.
And, thank you dr. Sam for sharing knowledge and information :)
Best thing for my pie is niacinamide and sun screen, any la roche posay products with in it I love I use the effacular H wash and effacular H moisturiser
Hello, can I use tretinoin around the lip area? I would be grateful for an answer. Very best regards
Hi Dr Sam can we use skin fix barrier moisturizer after applying tretinoin
What's the main difference between tretinoin and isotretinoin?
I have a tube of tretinoin from the dermatologist, but I see that it has isopropyl myristate in it which I’ve seen on lists of ingredients that are highly likely to cause acne. Is it still safe and effective to use on extremely oily and acne prone skin?
Please help 😬
I started peeling on day 2 but shortly after that almost all of my dark spots just faded away!!!
Do I need a sunscreen if I am not going out in sun at all during my Accutane/Isotretinoin cycle period. Kindly suggest. Thanks!
Ahm may i ask do u have any recommendations products??
Are all generic brands created equal? I’m using Taro and wondering if there is a better brand I should switch to?
Is tretinoin good and works for acne scars too?
New subscriber here, will it help the lines under my eyes? Thanks 😊
This saved my face 😊
After bath or face wash, I apply on my face: Tretinoin cream + Moisturizer + Sunblock = ❤️
Hi Dr. Sam,
Do you find that the vehicles that Tretinoin cream and Tazorac cream are in can clog pores. The gels are a bit harsh for me and I struggle with melasma & acne. I feel like the Taz gel might be making melasma worse even though it has cleared me.
I'm nervous to try either Tret or Taz cream due to some of the ingredients.
Do you see either of these creams clogging pores? or is that not possible? Thank you!
Which is better mam for comedonic acne adaphelene or tretinoin?
What should I do once my acne is gone? Should I stop using tretanoin?
Hello where i can buy this product?
Thank you
Vah super awesome video
Can you make a video about Red LED and Infrared?
I'm on week 4 of Tretinoin and have recently started peeling & seeing worsening of spots around chin and cheek area..hoping it goes away soon!!
Probably purging! Keep ur head up tho because the after results will be great!
how is it going now?
results?
update?
I cant decide if i want to use this or banish..is it ok to use both?..also is salicylic acid concealer ok to use while on this?.. o...and does this take away the redness... 😔
can we use this as for everyday use or it has the time limit to use eg. for a month or for a year...enlighten me
what types of acne scarring does Tret help with?
Question for Dr. Sam: what time should we stop tretinoin application before pregnancy? Usually the metabolism of vitamins in our bodies is two months. Is it enough for vit A? I am planning pregnancy some time later and wanted to know when to stop applying it. Thanks! It would be highly important for those ladies, who like me, look forward to babies
Very important question
I would say it's more important to stop eating foods containing high amounts of Vitamin A, such as liver, paté and fish oils (which don't come with any health warnings!). Tretinoin is applied topically so is unlikely to cause liver toxicity in mum or baby. Only trace amounts will be absorbed into the bloodstream (unlike the oral form, isotretinoin/Accutane). However it's recommended to err on the side of caution, so perhaps just apply a very thin layer of the lowest strength (0.025%), no more than once a week during pregnancy? Or switch to retinol if you're worried. Might be worth consulting your doctor as well.
Is it true that the cream version has pore clogging ingredients as opposed to the gel? This is the reason I’ve been scared to use tret
I started using 0.5% Trevino in cream and I have yet to see results. It has been 5 days since I started. Am I being impatient? When does it typically start showing results. My dermatologist said that you can see improvements in your skin 6-10 weeks of use. I’m just impatient
Question for Dr Sam: Is there any real difference between using 0.025 vs 0.05? Does a stronger product have a 'stronger' effect?
0.05 is best for acne, and 0.1 if the acne is still persistent after using 0.05 for a decent amount of time.
Yes it does have a stronger effect, but you start with 0.025, so your skin can adapt and you will minimise side effects like irritation, flaking, redness, etc.
Yes, undoubtedly.
Hi doc is it okay to use Vit C serum in the morning while using tretinoin at night?
Tret changed my life..after I powered through the purge it was so worth it!
