    All of you ladies in your 20s & 30s need to rejoice in your youth. When you get into your 50s you look back at pictures of yourself in your 20s and 30s and can't believe how good you looked. So just be happy with yourselves and appreciate what you have while you have it! And yes Retin A helps a lot!

    Been using prescription retinol, tretinoin since it first available 1980’s I am now in my 60’s. Every time I see my Dermatologist and she has a student she always points out how you can tell when someone has been using the product for some time. That’s the high cheek and some of the eye area and of course the forehead. Don’t give up ladies and stop buying products that are expensive just because of the brand, your better off with the real deal it lasts a long time so the price is justified

    My Cousin Chris has a identical twin brother named Jeff. Chris, has always taken care of his skin and faithfully uses Tretinoin on his face, neck and chest and has since he was in his late 20's but his brother Jeff is the complete opposite and just uses whatever or sometimes just nothing at all.
    They are both now 48yrs and when I saw them standing side by side I was completely blown away! Even in the pictures we took, you could clearly see which brother took care of their skin. It looked as if Chris was standing next to his "older" brother and not his own twin!...

    Your skin looks great after nine months. It takes time for skin to purge itself. I had cystic acne and no RetinA in those days. No Accutane either. Thank goodness we DID have dermatologists though! That Dr saved my life! I would have had miserable skin otherwise. And now, at 68 we do have those other things and I use them! Don't age "gracefully!" Fight it every step of the way! No sense looking older than you have to!! Take care of your body! You've only got one body and this is it! Be grateful for what you have and take GOOD care of it. Take vitamins, exercise, keep your weight under control, pay attention to things your body tells you, dress yourself in clean clothes, keep your nails trimmed and clean, brush your teeth & hair, & MAKE YOUR BED EVERY MORNING! Sounds crazy, I know, but it's the most important thing you'll do all day. Then say your prayers and get going!🤗💖🥰

    This video is really useful thank you! I started end of July so I’m coming up 5 months and literally still covered in endless spots still so this gives me hope! I use the strongest one too and have done every single night. I have zero reaction to it, no redness, tightness or flaky.... the spots just still keep coming! I will keep going forever though as I believe it will work xx

    • @jennarubis1
      @jennarubis1  3 года назад +3

      Hey Em! Thank you so much! So, it is true that light deactivates tretinoin - but mostly in terms of daylight. The light you are getting from the lights in your house and on your phone should be okay. I mean I’m sure it’s probably best to just put on the tretinoin and go to bed (but I stare at my phone for over an hour after I put it on each night).

    • @jennarubis1
      @jennarubis1  3 года назад +4

      Hey Michelle. Thank you so much! I did not begin the actual purge until week 13 (3 month mark) and mine lasted all the way from month 3 to month 6. I too had a few pimples here and there...I noticed small bumps under my skin, and they eventually started to come out at that 3 month mark :)

  • @jenw9586
    @jenw9586 Год назад +1

    Hi Jenna. Did you get more sun/dark spots pop up before them fading? I started using Tretinoin and see a few more dark(beige) spots than what I started out with. I heard this does happen sometimes since Tretinoin is bringing up sun damage from below the skin to the surface. Is this true? I'm just looking for affirmation the spots will disappear over time. I wear 50SPF+ sunscreen every single day. I've been using Tretinoin 0.025% cream 1x/week for 1 month now. My skin is sensitive so I have to go slow.

      If you’re still looking for an spf I use the EltaMD UV Pure Broad-Spectrum SPF 47 after much research. Its noncomedogenic and works great on my tret skin face and body. However it is very white and may not work for you if you have darker skin tone than mine (white as paper 😂).

    @soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495 3 года назад +1

    Hi Jenna, your results look great. I'm interested to know if you put the cream over your whole face, or in selective spots? the reason I'm asking you is because I can't really see where my melasma starts and ends very easily. It's kind of all-around my eye sockets and at the sides of my nose, but goes down into my cheeks too (with some on my forehead and temples). I went to a skin specialist on the NHS years ago (i.e for free), but perhaps because I'm a guy and it's a fairly rare condition in males, he didn't seem to have much sympathy. He just said: 'Yeah, you've got some melasma; put some cream on it' and sent me away. I was kind of expecting a fancy scan or at least a Moore's light and an explanation of where the pigmentation was and where to put/ how to use the cream. But in the end I did nothing for fear of getting it wrong and over-lightening the non-affected parts of my face.

Very inspiring!

    • @jennarubis1
      @jennarubis1  3 года назад +1

      Hey Ann! I would imagine tretinoin could certainly help your cause. If you reside in the US, it is prescription. You do not need to schedule with a derm specifically though - you can get it through your general practitioner or whoever your regular physician is :) A more immediate result, but more expensive, would be considering a laser treatment. Specially a CO2 laser. If you go this route, you would do the laser prior to starting your tretinoin treatment :) You would likely wait 8 weeks post laser treatment before starting tretinoin.

    What were your reasons on using Retin A and the Foreo ? Acne? Or aging? I have been at a standstill with my skincare routine for a few days. I had been using Exuviance, and my skin is so smooth from it, face is not completely dehydrated, a bit moisturized, but I could stand for it to be a little more. But honestly that is about the only thing that is noticeable. Here and there, I wanna say I can see results on my fine lines. Yesterday I realized that there are not ANY reviews lately on Exuviance. Reviews are from a year ago and three years ago. So I thought I might try Clarins double serum. But I can not imagine something with only natural ingredients making that much of an impact. Then I see your video. And I am interested in what it is for and what it is. The little tool thingy makes me think this could be a game changer. I dunno. I don’t know what a purge is. Lol. Guess I need to get researchin’ 🥸🥸

    • @jennarubis1
      @jennarubis1  3 года назад

      Hey Mandy! So I started tretinoin for hormonal acne that would pop up on my chin area, jaw line and occasionally on my cheeks in addition to skin rejuvenation from my years of sun damage and also preventative aging :) The Foreo Luna Mini 3 is a total game changer and I can’t imagine cleansing without it. It sluffs off all my dead skin but in a very gentle way and removes dirt, sweat and makeup like nothing else! Also, “purge” is a term that refers to the temporary worsening of skin (usually in the form of acne and/or peeling) when you introduce something into your skincare routine that turns your skin over at a faster rate (eg retinoids).

    MORNING:
    Cleanse with a Micella water.
    Apply my Vitamin C Serum.
    Hyaluronic Acid.
    Apply my black rice eyecream.
    Moisturiser.
    Rosehip oil.
    Sun cream broad spectrum plus blue light protection factor 50.
    NIGHT:
    Double cleans- Oil/Balm then Micella.
    Tretinoin (leaving it on my skin for 1 hour before I carry on my routine).
    Vitamin C Serum (a little stronger than in the morning).
    Same eye cream.
    Retinol & Lactic Acid sleep Serum.
    Night cream.
    Carrot 🥕 oil.
    Hope it help anyone looking to tweak their routine or just interested in other people face care! XXX

Maybe as we age we stop scrutinising things on a microscopic level and focus more on the obvious issues? These images just show degrees of perfection and an odd pimple...no lines etc. to erase or sagging to lift. I get the prophylactic use, but seriously there was nothing to improve.
