What is tretinoin. Best form of tretinoin.
There are many different types of tretinoin brands. Altreno, it comes in a cream: brand names: Avita, Refissa and Renova: which you see prescribed moreso for wrinkles, Retin-A, which is also a gel. There is also a formulation called twyneo, which is fda approved for acne vulgaris, which combines tretinoin with benzoyl peroxide.
Tretinoin cream vs gel.
The gel formula usually contains denatured alcohol and is prescribed to people who are dealing with acne. The cream form contains heavy emollients such as isopropyl myristate and is better suited for anti-aging purposes.
Tretinoin strength. What concentration of tretinoin is best.
What you will see a difference in though is the strength. 0.025%; 0.05, and 0.01%, which is the strongest. And most likely if youre starting out, you might be on the 0.025%.
How to apply tretinoin.
Use tretinoin on dry skin. After you wash your hands and cleanse your face, with a gentle cleanser, these two are my current favorites, wait for your skin to completely dry. Applying tretinoin on a wet or damp face can increase absorption and easily irritate the skin.
How much tretinoin to use.
Once its dry, then use a pea sized amount and not a peanut. And with that pea size amount, which is about ¼ of a gram, go ahead and start by dotting bit by bit in different areas of the face, at least 13 touchpoints.
Tretinoin with moisturizer.
Then if youre going to use a moisturizer after, Wait at least 20-30 minutes so you dont dilute the tretinoin.
Moisturizer before tretinoin.
Buffer tretinoin with a moisturizer. Find one that is 100 percent free of alcohol, and artificial fragrances, or any other peeling ingredients. These 2 are my current favorites. So use the moisturizer, wait 15 minutes then use the tretinoin.
How often to use tretinoin. When to use tretinoin.
Dont use it daily, just yet. Unless your doctor told you so. When starting, you dont have to go straight to every day use. Start with every 48 to 72 hours because you dont want to shock your skin.
Tretinoin at day or night
Nightly use is even better, so your skin wont be interrupted by those uv rays.
Tretinoin with sunscreen. Best sunscreen with tretinoin.
Tretinoin will make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, there is no way around it. But After a few months of tretinoin use, studies show that skin gradually begins to adjust to sunlight and photosensitivity returns to normal.
Tretinoin purge. How long purge with tretinoin.
During this whole process, your skin will start getting worse before it gets better. This is because your skin is pushing all of that gunk to the surface, which causes an increase in breakouts and acne. You might see cystic acne, whiteheads, blackheads, papules. It means the tretinoin is working and you’ll soon have clear skin. It might take up to 3 months of purging, but it does go away.
How long does it take for tretinoin to work.
Do not give up too early. For acne, the results you want can take up to 3 months, not overnight or in a month. For anti-aging, its at least 6 months, and it shouldnt matter to you, since you might choose to be on this for years as maintenance. For post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and sun damage, itll take 6 months as well. For fine lines and wrinkles, thats at least a minimum of 1-2 years of consistent use.
When to not use tretinoin. Who is tretinoin for.
Besides for pregnancy, or doctors orders and assuming your skin isnt tolerating it, there really is no point on giving up on the product. Or any product for that matter.

2,5 years of regular Tretinoin use (0,5) has worked wonders for my skin! I use spf 50 daily, 365 days a year - a must!
My skin looks like a 30-year-old’s although I’m 55+, and I strongly recommend Tretinoin for anti-aging benefits!
So you don't use other skincare products?
How are you doc my skin is very sensitive can i use tretinoin thank you have a nice day
could you share some pics please?
@@kiwifrenchie6036 for healthy skin even without tretinoin all you need is spf and a basic moisturiser, and a cleanser if you wear makeup
@@kiwifrenchie6036 No, but sometimes a use a day or night cream if my skin feels dry - but normally SPF in the morning and Tretinoin in the (late) evening works fine!
I love how calm this guy is
This man is a legend for being simple and concise
I'm 74 and started using Tretinoin about 1.5 years ago. I wanted to get rid of age/dark spots and it has done wonders. I use it regularly and avoid the sun and use SPF 50. One spot was quite large and is almost gone, but it got darker before it started to leave. I also see some improvement in my jowls which are pretty severe from not only age, but a very large weight loss 10 years ago. He's right in that it takes time!
I didnt go through a purge stage. It just cleared my acne up quickly and gave my skin a beautiful glow. The glow that you see on pregnant women. Strangers would compliment my skin and tell me that i had a beautiful glow.
You are fortunate 😃. Can you share what other products or lifestyle measures you took to achieve that?
I didn't make any lifestyle changes. I actually worked the night shift and worked lots of overtime on a regular basis and didn't get much sleep for many years. My food choices never changed. I didn't use any special moisturizer. Somehow, I just had very good results. It could possibly be my genes. My mother and father had beautiful skin especially my mother. Maybe it's my race. My mother had beautiful skin up until her death at the age of 86 and a half. Minimal to no wrinkles. Smooth silky skin. I suffered from acne break outs off and on since my teens. It stopped during my childbearing years and then started back again off and on after I finished having my children. I was in my 40's and was still breaking out. I couldn't stand it any longer. My doctor prescribed me the Tretinoin lowest dosage. She also prescribed me benzoyl peroxide acne cream. The pharmacist told me that I could get the same benzoyl peroxide acne cream OTC and so I did. My face cleared up so well that I stopped using the benzoyl peroxide and would use the Tretinoin cream 2 to 5 per week. Now I hardly ever have to use the Tretinoin cream. My skin just responded well. I have had phenomenal results and will only have a very mild break out maybe once per year or less. I haven't had to use my Tretinoin cream in awhile now.
@@darlenejones2834I’m so happy for you. It is my dream to have beautiful skin. Good job
Did you start out by using daily?
Thank you. No hype, no unrealistic expectations, plus sound life-advice as a bonus. God bless you.
I Appreciate your kind feedback! 😊
This video is informative but also calming!
Absorbed all of that, you are a great Teacher Doc 🍀🙏🏻🍀
Doc, I've been using Medik8 Retinal 20 (2%) for 4 months and will begin Tretinoin 0.025% shortly. I've been tolerating the Retinal 20 beautifully coupled with a carefully curated skincare regime. I'm hoping a daily anti-aging transition to Tretinoin will be seamless. Thanks for your great advice. You are so right ... SUNSCREEN IS VITAL.
I'm about to begin using Tretinoin for the first time and have been watching various beauty channel videos to get a feel for what to expect and tips on usage. Yours was clear, concise and informative, Dr. I especially appreciated the fact that you didn't try to minimize or gloss over the time commitment or "purge" issue, as some do in their videos. Knowing what to (possibly) expect really reduces the intimidation factor - thanks!
Thank you for your feedback! My goal is just that. Wishing you success in all your endeavors. 😃
I just started trentannoying yesterday zero point 0.1 percent. No irritation at all. I want to work my way up to a stronger dose overtime
@@ArsalanAspires tretinoin is gatekeep almost all over the world, it's hard to find and buy because it really works.
I advice you to use alternate of tretinoin because the purging is really painful and wrost
Doc yours was the best explanation i've ever heard for using tretenoin..thank you..
I used the Retin A when I was 14 years old because I had flat warts on my forehead. Back in the 70’s they really didn’t push the sunscreen and I was a little fish in the summer and stayed out swimming in the sun all day long. Long story short I looked like a very ripe tomato after a full day of swimming and my skin peeled many layers taking over two weeks! It was agony, but after the peeling process was done, my skin was flawless not even a freckle here or there lol.
I’m currently using it again but you do need to start slow because it will make your skin feel like it is burnt if you over use it. Definitely put on sunscreen!! The reason I’m using it is trying to get rid of those 60 year old wrinkles, and a couple of warts on my forehead. So far the warts have disappeared. But my Wrinkles are still there 😞
Thank you for taking the time to share that! Yes, starting slow is very important.
Prescription Vitamin A taken daily will get rid of those warts
I just came across your page and I must sincerely appreciate you for this video. You've gotten a new subscriber
Happy that you are here! 😀
Appreciate your way of explaining 🎉
Lol I'm so glad but not so glad that my dr didn't tell me about the purging. I kept with it through the acne. I finally broke down and called the drs office and that's when she told me about the purging. They dropped me down to 0.025 from .05 3x a week. The acne was BAD but I stuck it out. I'm so glad I did. I got a great regimen on my next appointment and some samples. I'm so excited. I'm 37 with adult hormonal acne, hyperpigmentation and sun damage. I'm so happy I finally went to the dermatologist.
Loved the way you talk!! So calming so soothing to ears plus the example you gave for consistency really hit me hard! Thank you ❤
Happy I could help. Wishing you utmost wellness!
Thank you so much, Dr for this video. I’m using it now and I was feeling overwhelmed until I watched your video. Thank you so much!
Glad I can help! Wishing you success with it. 😃
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Here to help.
This is very helpful information. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Your videos are always helpful.
Very informative,thank you
Do you have any good BB or CC creams/ tinted moisturizers for us women wanting some coverage? Thanks!!
I would love your input on this idea: how quickly can or should I expect to acclimate to Tretinoin if I've been using adapalene for 2.5 years prior? I was on 0.1% adapalene for 2.5 (although not nightly because I alternated with other products like exfoliants, or azelaic acid/niacinamide/kojic acid etc products so as not to aggravate my skin), and my skin has improved A LOT - sun spots/hyperpigmentation lightening, looking younger now than I did 2.5 years ago, even my moles are shrinking and fading, and I rarely get a pimple. I just started Tretinoin 0.025% through an online derm; I've used it once this week so far, absolutely no irritation. I feel like maybe I'm one of the people who can tolerate using 3-4 nights a week since I'm so used to a prescription strength retinoid? Thanks in advance! I have dry sometimes sensitive skin (but live in a dry climate).
I have rosacea and sensitive skin but was able to jump immediately to tretinoin & also had no irritation or redness. If it’s working for you, i say go for it. I did the same frequency, so I’d already worked up to nightly w adapalene and just immediately moved to nightly tretinoin. I don’t think you’ll have any issues. I think a lot of the warnings about tretinoin irritationshave been largely exaggerated by the skincare channels. (Imo it’s more due to them overdoing other ingredients like exfoliants etc. And not the tretinoin itself.)
What is Adapelene? Did a dermatologist prescribe it? Sude effects? Never heard of it.
@@kouten07 adapalene is the generic name for Differin. It is the Rx retinoid family since it’s in the active form. It is made for more sensitive skin (since it only binds to 2 retinoid receptors, tret binds to 3 I think) & is more acne-targeted.
Personally, it was first prescribed by my derm at the time, circa 2014. Then, in 2016, Differin/adapalene 0.1% went over the counter here in the US, so I started getting it that way instead. (Then I later bumped to tretinoin 0.025% for 2 years or so. Now am on 0.05% tretinoin. Both via Rx w current derm)
Same side effects largely as any retinoid like tretinoin: risk for irritation, red, flaky skin. Can make you feel a bit dry. Can have purging when you start.

Great information thank you. Can I do Red Lightning therapy with tretinoin?
Thank you for sharing....can we use it in the eyes area?
I’m glad a ran into your channel. Subscribed.
Happy that you are here! 😊
I'm curious to know if one form of tretinoin is more or less sensitive to indoor lighing than the other? I like to apply around 7pm and then wait a couple of hours before applying moisturiser, but I wonder if indoor lighting degrades it significantly? I have both the cream and gel formulations and can use either without much irritation.
Great Video !! I’ve been using retina for years but I never put it on my neck but now I’ve noticed that my neck is a different color 😮 Can I use it there also !
Thanks alot.this is the best video ever on tretinion,thanks

Hello Dr. can I use water based moisturizer with tretinoin?

So happy to hear that! Wishing you the best success with it! 😊
Hi. How is the going want to look for it today and buy am having a very itchy sensitive face with acne..tried benzoyl peroxide but burned me seriously

Well going to start Tretinoin 0.01 today for hyperpigmentation and as Anti aging . This is v helpful information that you are shedding here
I LOVE Altreno. I used .025% cream for 13.5 years and could NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME go up to .05%. Earlier this year my dr prescribed Altreno to see if we could finally go up and now it’s just amazing. Little to no irritation at all and the texture is more of a serum than a lotion just the slightest bit more viscous than normal serum. Makes it so easier to use half of a pea sized amount because it spreads so much easier. I do still buffer tho just because I’m scared it’ll eventually irritate but so far so good!
Thank you 😊
One more doubt, I using retino A( used 2 time in 10days) after that I got 2-3pimples , can continue to use or should I wait to cure pimple. Please reply…
Thank you for taking the time to share that! Nothing wrong with buffering if it has been working for you! Happy to hear that. 😀
This motivated me to continue for sure. thank you
You got this!

MashAllah, brother Arshalan you're very good at your job
Please how effective is it with someone using it with minoxidil for beard growth, does it get any better incorporating tretinoin alongside minoxidil for better and faster results?
Thank you Dr. The video is very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
if we dont want tretinoin, do you recommend something with natural vitamin A to use?
Thank you Doc
I use the Biossance face oil as my moisturizer. Can I use that over my Tretinoin?
Very good information.
What about the microgel form?
very helpful ty
Hello! I have a question. I have been using tret since Aug 2021. i hd purging phase under tret and my skin has improved, however there are still remaining minimum redness on my cheeks although i practice only 2x/week application of tret with sandwich method like what other derma advices but the redness won't just go away. Can I maybe introduced back again the adapalene and applying it on non-tretinoin night routine? Im afraid in case when im running out my tretinoin at least i still hv back up anti-aging cream that is readily accessible otc. Here in Germany you can't procure tretinoin without proving that you have an acne. Hope u may be able to address my concern. Thank you
Can you do a video how to apply to the body? I know you don't mix with moisturizer. There must be a proper process
I never knew about the Renova for wrinkles. Only Tretenoin. I will definitely read up on Renova.
I never have a reaction to Tretinoin. Does this mean its not working?
The best video about using tretinoid. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have read mixed things on Tretinoin that I hope you can help with. I read that it is best to use at night before bed because can become less effective if exposed to indoor lights, tv, computers, phones. Also read that this was more for the .25 and that .5 and 1.0 is more stable in indoor lighting . But if need to wait 20 minutes before applying moisturizer after Tretinoin at night time with home lights or tv on, should I lay in the dark for 20-30 minutes, moisturize and them sleep?? Thank you.
Does Differin gel also help?
Thank you Dr. Aspires. I have watched numerous videos about tretinoid. Your video is very informative and helpful! With your
slower speed explanations, that helps digesting all the information! Again, very appreciated!
Thank you for your input. Some don’t like the slow speed, but I know some might still appreciate it. Wishing you utmost wellness. 😊
Sir,please advice can I use tretinoi for white dot2 on my hand
@@ArsalanAspiresGreat information. Would you recommend a sunscreen please
Thank you so much for your video, everything is so easy and to the point 😊 may I ask, do you have to wear spf indoors, if you aren't sitting near a window with direct sunlight?
Glad I could help! There is no need to wear it indoors if you are not near windows or direct sunlight. However! Some experts do say use caution and wear spf around blue light from your devices. Blue light does not cause sunburn but it may form free radicals that cause premature skin aging.
I hope this helps! 🙏🏽
Can i use with shiseldo products?
Very interesting, thank you for all this information
You are very welcome!
I am really confused by conflicting advice. If my skin is dry - not not itchy or stinging. Do I keep using it? Please reply xx
This really worked on my skin. Love it. I will say my skin looks much better. It is not oily at all but my skin looks very shiny. Or I guess I could say it is glowing!
How long it takes time to see results?
Great video, do you accept video, or telehealth appointments? I have BC/BS and would like to get tretinoin for skin problems. Thanks
Can you use other products during the day like vit c and the ordinary products?
Hey doc..me again .. asking if it's ok to be using tretnoin during the night and applying Vaseline n olive oil during the day. will that cause any problem.Thanks
Hi Dr. Arsalan thank you for such a wonderful video :)
I would like to ask if the purging also happens to those who want to use the Tretinoin for photoaging and fine lines and don't have any acne issues, or does it only happen to people suffering from acne?
Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this video ❤
Most definitely welcome. I'm wishing you wellness and good health your way!
I love tretinoin it works well on hormonal acne you are right Dr patience is key!
Is this better than the retinoid use you recommended a year ago?
Thank you so much for your patient explanation on how to best use Tretinoin. I had a consult with a dermatologist earlier this week and was prescribed Tretinoin but she did not give me any instructions on how to best use it.
Sorry you weren’t given instructions. I’m surprised to hear. 😯 I’m just trying to do my best.
I can’t believe I almost didn’t watch this video. 😭 Thank you!!
I have the ointment one. Is it the same as the cream?
How effective is tretinoin if mixed with my moisturizer, rather than layered on top or below moisturizer.
Will have to try to buffer it next time, the 0.025 can still be strong! Thanks again.
Glad to hear!
Thanks for this video I gave up already. Will start back tonight. It left my face darker, am doing 2 months on hydroquinone and 2 months off and tretinoin same. My face was so clear with the hydroquinone and now a month of tretinoin it's full with hyperpigmentation. Really dark so I stopped and called my dermatologist he wants me come to office for evaluation. Thanks
Thank you dr.
Hello,
Do you recommend using SPF in daytime even if i am indoors? Thank you.
I have some questions, is it true that it can trigger unwanted facial hair growth over time ? (I don't know if it is just what I am feeling or if it is for real, I've researched and found evidences of it being true), if yes then what alternative can I use to treat hyperpigmentation and deep ice pick scars on my cheeks and jaw without damaging my beard colour with any kind of bleaching agent like clindmycin or benzoyl peroxide? When I was using the Benzoyl peroxide soap, my skin was great and all, but my beard started getting dull and brownish orange so I cannot use it. And is there anything I can apply to remove and slow down the growth of unwanted hair on upper cheeks, facial temples and in between eye brows, at least something to make them finer and less visible without any side effects?
