@@Anujsharma-pi1wr I use it every day at night with a heavy balm as my nighttime moisturizer. However! There are days my skin is irritated from it so I’ll skip it here and there as needed. Knowing your skin is super important on tretinoin, which I’m using now. The same goes for differin though
Hope that you’re ok! Seems that you’ve gone awol but I hope life improves for you, and that if you ever post again we’ll be here to watch whatever it is. Hope life is working well!
I’ve been using Dermatica for almost a year now ( 0.1 tretinoin ) and I notice small differences. I noticed a bigger difference using 4% hydroquinone on melasma and hyperpigmentation.
Recently I upgraded to 0.05. I used it every fourth day in the first month and every third day from the second month. I do use around my eyes too. Today I saw some peeling around my cheeks which I didn’t see while using 0.025. I definately seee healthy skin but not like drastic change n since I started late so no change in fineliness which I wanted rather than glowy skin n all. I had no breakout or sensitive skin. I thought my skin was being sensitive but it was coz of chemical sunscreen which I relaised late. Then I switched to Korean susncreen n no irritation now. Let’s see what happens next after I start using it every other day n then daily
Wow when you showed your old videos I can definitely see such a great improvement in clarity as well as firmness your looking good handsome 👍🏽 I’m still using Retinaldehyde but prior to that I was using retinol I have noticed a difference for sure but like you said about dermatologist they do hyper vitamin A up a lot still the results are great if you are realistic I too use vitamin c and improved my spf use as well one thing that has made a huge difference is incorporating red light Infrared led collectively with vitamin a and C and spf my skin is improving
I use as directed and now I have a bunch of expired tubes. Hopefully they still work. You are so relatable. When I got tretinoin each tube was $10 for me too! It made the really expensive student insurance almost worth it. Oh yeah, do you get maskne? That's a big issue for me. Do you like kaomojis? Everyone loves kaomojis ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎
Plz plz reply me i had very severe hormonal acne I started using tetrinion year ago and got clear skin within 8 months but now I'm again breaking out very badly should I quit tetrinion
Hey sweetie! I hope you are doing better. Let’s yeet that sadness to stratosphere, alright? 😂 Also, I wanted to ask you for an advice… I’ve tried using tretinoin for more than 6 months, but the redness… oh my.. couldn’t get rid of it. I use non-stripping cleanser, moisturize, wait for it to dry, apply tret and then Cicaplast baume b5 on top of it, but I still look like tomato. Darkened and red face. It’s really confusing since products sting me when tretinoin compromises my skin barrier, but they don’t sting anymore because my skin acclimated, but that redness…
Aww I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Personally I had something similar but it only affected my neck. Stopping and using hydrocortisone cream did wonders for me. I now feel like my neck can tolerate it again, but I'm very wary to try.
I would try to see your dermatologist. Maybe you could have rosacea? I have it & persistent redness is a big part of it. (Azelaic acid worked wonders for me personally.)
i used the 0.01 gel when i was 18 (20 now). It initially thinned my skin out and i looked far more gaunt but as soon as i stopped it gradually came back to normal. i think it thins the skin out more in the first year before you get that plumpness. i have just started on the 00.25 cream yesterday after 11 months without any tret
Every time I hear about Tretinoin ...I just wonder 🤔...living in Northern Europe.....not being able to just go to a dermatologist as easy....I just wonder..... retinol products, I guess ,are not that popular around this part of the world.. at least, I never hear anybody talking about it; YET..!!!.??....We cannot buy strong versions over the counter....some brands like Avène and La Roche Posay offer some alternatives........ I ,personally, experienced too much dryness.... NOT a pleasant experience if you live in a predominantly cold climate....luckily, k beauty offers some soothing 😃😃😃... in the end, as you mentioned, sometimes using hydrating ingredients In combination with good sleep 😐....AND sunscreen makes a huge difference.... it can be challenging to figure out which product is really working ... by the way, you look great!!!
Maybe people in the north dont have as much sun damage? I assumed it was also pretty ubiquitously prescribed for acne around the globe but I shouldn't assume.
I just finished a full year with differin and I truly feel it took the whole year to see full results. That retinol glow is no joke 🤤
The slow slow glow but worth it lol
Do you use it everyday or every other day?? Can you please tel me your tretinoin routine

Just started using Retin-A last night, so I rewatched your journey with it again. Thanks for sharing!
Your skin looks brighter and more refined than before the retinoid.
@Wylder Watkins he had more beard

Thanks for making this! Missed the skincare videos
Do you use prescription azelaic acid or OTC? Also what’s the name of the one you’re using?
Your skin looks great 👍🏼
HOW IS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!?
Loved seeing your progress!
do you still use it now?
What was wrong with your skin that you ended up self diagnosing?
I'm not ready to talk about that yet 😞
Namaste 🙏🏼. I can only use it once a week, If I use it more I get gnarly red spots 😟.
I order mine from Mexico and it's very inexpensive.

Ah nice I will have to look into red light therapy more I've never tried it but it seems promising.
Are you taking vitamins A & C orally or topical?
And would u share your infrared LED product?

Use a silk or satin mask to prevent maskne

Don't quit maybe go up a strength? You might still get breakouts but they won't be as bad
@@marcus8302 thank u so much ☺
Have you ever also considered adapalene and what do you think
yes I tried one tube of it. I would use it if I couldn't get tretinoin
@@frugalskin thank you

you can use azelaic acid to combat redness, it works wonder
Hey there how old are u? U look 28
Tretinoin needs patience.
Hi handsome Jai!! How are you doing? Sending hugs and kisses 😘.
I heard retina can cause facial fat loss any feel like that happened to them?
It made my cheeks more full as my collagen increased, it should increase this not decrease it

1:12 Some guys look better without beard. 😉
i hope not sporadically
Well definitely not spontaneously but yes sporadically! Now it's very infrequently.
