    I’ve literally witnessed this over the past few years as an informed skincare and social media consumer. If companies can sell you a Retinol, they can sell you even more products and treatments to chase the negligible effects of retinol (in comparison to retinoic acid). My aesthetician literally told me that she was taught to discourage Tretinoin use because it limits what she can do and sell in the treatment room. (She remained wise and informed enough to encourage Tretinoin though), and said that I would notice less of a visible result with professional glycolic acid peels vs. her non-Tretinoin clients because my 45 year-old skin is already in great shape. (And indeed, I noticed NOTHING after a series of six 50% glycolic acid peels). Without direct RAR-gamma activation, retinol is such a time and wallet drainer. I currently use Renova Tretinoin .02% 5 nights a week and Trifarotene 2 nights. Now, the messaging on how Tretinoin is too aggressive and ruining our skin, never intended for long term use, causes calloused skin, “inflammaging”, etc. is running rampant on socials BIG TIME. While all can be the case, it’s usually due to improper usage, concomitant use with too many unnecessary and inflammatory products (e.g. hyaluronic acid), dosage, the number of RARs in the skin, etc. and we all know, the dose makes the poison with any medication and using it on macerated cells seems a recipe for disaster. Fear mongering strikes again.
    On another note, I’m having trouble getting on with L-ascorbic acid and the data on THD Ascorbate and derivatives is less convincing. I’d be curious as to what you think about ellagic acid. Seems to have some good antioxidant and skin brightening data behind it (more so than the derivatives).
    Thanks!

      Circling back after watching your Vitamin C video. I own the Allies of Skin 35% and struggle to get on with that one as well. If you think the Allie’s ethylated ascorbic + THD far outweigh ellagic acid benefits, I’ll keep on with the Allies but would sincerely appreciate any tips on how to possibly get on with it. I currently use an Aestura Attobarrier Hydrating Essence as a light moisturizer after Tretinoin…wondering if there would be benefit to use it in the morning followed by the Allies. 🤔

    • @Dr_Abs
      @Dr_Abs  Год назад +28

      You've hit the nail on the head with your comments. Hopefully if my channel becomes more popular, the nonsense companies spread will be restricted. I'd stick with the allies product for now. There may be benefit in ellagic acid, but, long term I doubt there will be a difference in that both will give you the best skin in combo with something like tret/trifarotene. I'd say try both and use whichever you personally prefer. I'm very glad my vid helped and that there are people like you who aren't dumb enough for companies to fool into buying crap after crap ❤️

    I feel like this is what most retinol RUclips dermatologists have been saying though, that a prescription retinoid show results faster but haven’t studies shown that OTC retinols also will work well in the long long term?
    So in a nutshell are you saying any OTC retinol is bullsh*t like retinyl palmitate, etc? What about Altreno? I have been looking to get a retinol prescription so I might check out your link. Actually it says “page cannot be found”, man you trying to give me a virus 😂 what a load of 💩

      I started sleeping with tape across my forehead in a T shape in 2014 as an experiment because I was getting frown lines. Sleeping with the tape there trains your muscles to stay relaxed most of the rest of the time, even when thinking or emotional (as in dreaming/making faces asleep). I am gluten intolerant and at that time the frownies product contained wheat so I tried blue painters tape and it does not irritate my skin. It is firm without being too firm and now, 10 years and counting, at 62, I have been wrinkle free there! I use the width that covers most of my forehead and trim it to avoid my eyebrows. Then I cut a piece to lay on top that comes down between my eyebrows to the top of my nose. I use the 1.88inch Scotchblue version. No residue, and if I have applied skincare, and gently wipe off any oiliness it still adheres (doesn’t have to be squeaky clean). I have used brown medical paper tape but it is a bit more difficult to remove, although less startling to a bed partner, lol.

    Is Isotretinoin ok to use instead of tretinoin, i picked up a non perscription tube from a pharmacy in greece this year. My skin is perfectly fine with it, no reactions. But wondered if i should go back to tretinoin instead? I do have oily skin with sebaceous filaments, so thought Isotretinoin would be a good and cheaper alternative while i could buy it.

    • @PrashantPatel-tf1mu
      @PrashantPatel-tf1mu 2 месяца назад +2

      Uh, isotretinoin is sold under the brand name Acutane. It’s an oral medication used for recalcitrant acne vulgaris. It basically shuts your sebaceous glands down, so no more acne. Tretinoin is a topical cream or ointment that helps with acne AND is an excellent fine line/wrinkle remover/collagen promotor. I think you might be confused.

      I'm it sure about the insurance, sorry! Usually they don't because it's cosmetic. Tretinoin/vitamin A can be used for total skin health anywhere on the body really. But for laxity there's only so much any kind of skincare will do if I'm honest. For that, skincare combined with clinical treatment is probably best.

      I'd go back to adapalene. In terms of antiageing etc it's basically just vitamin a which we know is used to help skin ageing.

    Hi Dr. Abs…just came across your channel. What would you say is best for melasma. Thanks so much.

    • @Dr_Abs
      @Dr_Abs  6 месяцев назад +8

      It's an answer that's different for everyone to be honest. It'd ideally revolve around skincare and some sort of clinical treatment together.
      Skincare that has vitamin A, some exfoliation to remove old pigment, pigment production inhibition and suncream would be ideal.
      Then a clinical device like Sciton BBL and/or Moxi would be the cherry on the cake.
      Hope that helps

    Can Tret be used all over the skin .If yes ,is there a cream with tret in it that can be used as a body cream .
    Or maybe a pea sized amount can be put into the palm and mixed with your lotion to be applied all over your body.

    Otherwise doctor, I recently stopped taking tretinoin (my skin tolerated it well, it's a shame) because it made me more tired and more vulnerable to certain viruses (often sick, especially after the 3 month purge phase )
    it's a shame...
    I have a fragile body but perfect skin....
    Have you ever heard of this type of side effect or problem with this medication?
    Sincerely
    Jack

    I used the retinol products by Paula’s Choice, Drunk Elephant, Perricone, Neutrogena, The Ordinary and Medik8. None of them made a difference to my skin. Some stained my pillow case as well so had to place an old t-shirt on top to stop that.

    Sorry for being a bit thick but aren't these prescribed solely for acne issues ? You seem to be saying that these are also have anti-aging benefits, which can be used by people with no acne at all.

    • @Dr_Abs
      @Dr_Abs  3 месяца назад +2

      Yeah they can be antiageing too. Think about it this way if it helps... the molecular interaction is independent of why you got the product. So, whether you use it for acne or aging, the interaction will still be the same. Therefore, if it improves skin health why wouldn't it do it any time you use it? Hope that makes sense 😊

    This is all so fascinating. I’ve been watching all the videos and reading comments over the past couple of days. I’d given up on retinoids as it seemed like my face was coming off and breaking out like never before. Now I want to have another go! Trying to figure out if I’d be better off ordering adapalene (here in the US) or ordering the .005 tret subscription prescription I currently have on hold.
    Also wondering if I can work through face oil oil supplies or if it’s better to order squalane - definitely going to ditch moisturizers from here on out! Grateful for this no-nonsense biohacking friendly channel. :-)

My sister sells Sisley and i had the chance to try products. I just use with comun sense , without overthinking nor listenting influencers and my skin looks great.Other crap is all the forms of vitamin C that give me pimples. The influencer live from this constant posting and advertising, putting pressure on our minds and pockets. I am tired of being dumb!
