@Mayo J. I havnt had any issue with good old albolene 3-1 cleanser , minimal ingredients no cloged pores does the job awesome for makeup and sunscreen and doesn't irritate me or break me out, my skin type is , sensitive dry acne prone skin , I currently suffer no acne though:^) Give it a try, cheap for a tub👍 and I can suffer fungal acne during the warmer months and this doesn't make it worse plus your 2nd cleanser washes it off, and there's no such oil cleanser without oils lol, as long there's no coconut oil 👍

She was the first person who openly spoke about tretinoin!! I started searching about it … I’ve been using it now.. from last 1 year I guess and my skin has never been this beautiful
@@TrinaGallo does tretinoin gives us our childhood skin complexion back.. I want to try tretinoin just for my better complexion so any how does it helps for that pls tell...
I've used differin for about 10 years and tretinoin for about 5 for adult acne. I'm 38 now, and my skin looks so much better than it did in my 20s. Using those plus sunscreen, gentle facewash, and moisturizer on my face, neck, chest, and backs of hands really has made a world of difference.
I’m starting in a couple months and I’m excited, I suffered from terrible cystic acne all over my face for a decade did 2 rounds of Accutane that almost fucks up my liver, in the end I managed to get rid of my acne naturally but I have some scarring and hyperpigmentation and every once in a while i get some pimples but nothing like it was years ago. I know it’s going to be worth it I can’t wait to be able to go out bare face and feel comfortable with my skin 🥲💗
One of the things I appreciate about topical retinoids is how they simplify the rest of your routine. Basics are best, and looking after the skin is king. 12-step routines with multiple actives just seems like asking for trouble.
I love your videos because you keep your routine simple. I only use retin a and have for 13 years. I am 51 and have no wrinkles. Retin A is all you need.xx
I’ve been using castor oil instead of eye cream ever since I heard you say you did that and I LOVE it! You’re 100% right about it’s efficacy. Thank you!!!
This is a very effective product and your skin looks beautiful. I started using it at age 40 and I am now 82 and still using it for now for 42 years. My daughter age 59 is using it also and has beautiful clear skin as I do. It takes time as you described and I also find that my face keeps fat in it over thinning out. Like you I use the castor oil around my eyes. Keeping lips moisturized is important or as you age lips tend to dry up and disappear.
May I ask how did you start? At what percentage(and did you use retinol or retinal before that) and how did you decide to go up with %? At what strength are you now, i.e.the longest? Thank you☺️
im curious about your account of keeping fat in the face? I am guessing you are aware of all the reports of people experiencing the opposite. many people say they notice they lost fat, especially in the under eye. ive seen photos of many people with this result and It does look like something went wrong. very curious of how people have such opposite experiences
@TrinaGallo maybe she intentionally speaks without almost moving that area and it seems a bit like botox / lacking expression. But I do see movements there Either way, botox isn't bad or good per se, to each his own, but I don't think she says she's never done botox. Her skin texture and complexion is still amazing (and yours too looking at your channel 😍)
@@yhyuk Thanks! Oh I have nothing against Botox. I’m thinking of getting a little in a few years. But I don’t like that she leads us to believe her skin is THAT perfect ONLY because she uses tret.
@@yhyuk I got nothing against Botox! If I had the $, I’d already have Botox, AND Sculptra in my temples and chin! But I wouldn’t lead people to believe Tret is responsible. Ok- go look in the mirror and smile. Like a REAL smile. Do you see movement around your eyes?
Everything she highlights in this video is accurate. Tretinoin is a long game. I'm 28 years old and I've been using tretinoin for 8 years, starting when I was 20 years old due to cystic acne outbreaks. I apply it all over my face, including the eye and nasolabial area, and it definitely gives me the most benefits, especially around the eye area where I don't develop crow's feet. At this point, I can safely say that thanks to tretinoin and religious application of sunscreen, my skin quality is better than that of my peers. I often get mistaken for being in my early 20s. So, if you plan to use tretinoin just push through and have faith that you'll reap the benefits in the long run.
@@RaquelpeQe21 initially i apply it only 3 times per week and i didn’t had that dry peeling face because my skin is oily so i guess that’s one of the many factors why i’ve rarely struggle with peeling issues
I started using tretinoin .1% at 29 for acne. I’m now 37 and continue to use it every night and I’m super religious about my sunscreen. I get many compliments on my skin and I’m often told I look a decade younger. I don’t spend money on high end, overly priced skincare. My Rx tretinoin and sunscreen is all I need. I use Cerave cleanser and Cerave moisturizer. I recently started using Rx hydroquinone too for evening out my skin tone. Luckily my insurance covers my tretinoin for acne, so only I pay for is the hydroquinone. I feel sooo lucky I started tretinoin so young, I will continue to use it until my old age lol
@@colabpro2615 my doctor prescribed it and it’s meant to be used for a short time to reduce uneven skin tone. Then maintain results with sunscreen. I am able to use it again if the spots come back. My doc said it’s safe
I love your consistency and how authentic you are. I have been implementing these tips since your earlier videos and my skin just keeps getting better... No fancy products and no wishy washy new products every week. These simple products work the best and are the most budget friendly. I really appreciate your honestly and staying true to yourself and sharing.
Wow ! Great video ! To the point and a testament to the product and the process that you are taking about. These are the type of “influencers” I’m looking for lately. I can’t with the ones that have a different “holy grail “ every month. Thank you for making this video!😊
I started my retinol journey last year cuz im now 24. I was so naive that time and damaged my skin barrier gave me bad acne breakouts, I never had breakouts even on my teens, i had to rest for a few months and now back on retinol, im so glad i found your channel because you really inspire me on your commitment on an anti aging lifestyle and i try to incorporate it in my daily life thank youu
Keep using tretinoin and use it forever. Just use sunscreen during the day. I would also suggest using Vitamin C during the day as well if your skin can tolerate. If you do this now, you’ll look at least 5-10 years younger than your peers when you’re 40. I should know. I’m 40 and I started using tretinoin at the age of 27 for my acne. I have no fine lines or wrinkles
Because of you i found out i Can use both adapalene and tretinoin. Been using adapalene 2 years with great results and incorporated tret 2 weeks ago with no bad sideeffects. I am Super excited for the long term results. Recently Someone guessed my age by 23, i am 35 😅 🎉 😂
Hey! I just wanted to ask, what are the benefits of mixing adapalene and tretinoin. I've been using tretinoin for almost a year now and it got me thinking.
I love the video, the products and the results! ❤ Everyone talking crap in the comments about you using Botox, who cares if you do or don’t. Yes botox prevents lines from forming. From experience Botox can help with that but it can’t give you great skin! This video is about skincare, and it’s obvious you have amazing skin from Tretinoin and your commitment to your skincare regimen. Thank you for sharing what works for you. Make sure you choose a non-toxic spf everyone 😊 Not all are created equally.
so assuming she started when she was 20, now she must be 40, and she said that's how old I am... i mean... i think you stopped aging since you used it. really give us all hope
I don’t use Tretinoin. I use Adapalene 0.1% doesn’t matter the brand (Acne Free, Differin, La Roche Posay, generic, etc). I’ve been it consistently for 2-3 years along with my regular skincare routine including daily sunscreen and my skin improved so much. Adapalene is so gentle and non irritating for my combination skin. Thank you for inspiring me to use it.
I started using differin recently and my skin is purging a lot , I'm so afraid it doesn't work for me.. did you have the same experience??? how many weeks have you waited before seeing a result
I was looking at your video from the age of 37 and you looked 23! Now you look 27 - amazing work! you've singlehandedly moved me closer to a skincare emphasis rather than a makeup emphasis. I still wear alot of makeup on special occasions but now I'm a light makeup during the week girlie and emphasize my skin!
Hello Jennifer! I hope you're doing great. And good to see you back, really missed you here on RUclips. I have a humble request video for you, can you please make a video on your insights and learnings from the book Bhagavad Gita. One of the reasons that compelled me to read was your book recommendations which was influential in motivating me to read the book and it excites me to know your take backs from the book in your words since you have a profound depth in whatever you do especially in reading books, research, and in your sense of being. I love your passion and intensity which I believe stems from a beautiful place of genuine intentions. Looking forward to more videos ❤
Thank you for this video!! I just started back in January and it’s been the best decision I made,, I have been consistently with it since coming across your videos.
I have been using retinA since the 1980. And won stop using it. I have made my skin so beautiful. Let’s keep using retinA. Better than many expensive creams.
@@Ohkeh640 I wait about twenty minutes after I wash my face and then apply the retinA. And anywhere from thirty to forty to apply moisturizer. But not every one does that. I allow my time in the evening.
@@chelseaandhobbes they’re very similar results honestly! But I chose to switch to tret ultimately because it has better research behind its long term efficacy.
Hello Jennifer , I would like to thank you for sharing your secret. I started using Tretinoin after watching your videos and I am so grateful to you. I have been using it for almost 2 years and my skin is looking so great. Thank you
@@proudmuslima2879if you’re just starting I recommend a thick moisturiser like cerave in the tub first, on dry skin and waiting 30 min then applying tret a pea size. You can do this the first few months til your skin gets used to the tretinoin. Or continue using this way if you’re very sensitive. ❤
I watch your videos whenever i feel the urge to try new products, reminds me that just having a simple routine is enough as long as i am consistent and patient with it.
I’ve used retinoids for over 7 years and I’m 22 now. I started them for acne, and now afterwards I’m continuing to use them for healing my leftover scars. I still have leftover scarring but it is way better than what it used to be, and my skin is smoothing out. After I rid myself of these battle scars, I will continue using retinoids for anti-aging.
I've used retin-A since I was 13, I'm now 54. I will never stop using it because I definitely look younger than most women my age. I also use c serum and peptides. Plus sunscreen TWICE a day because I am a bus driver and need to protect my skin😀👍
Fot who is saying that she has botox:. Im 32, but when I was 15, I realized one of my school friends used to move her forehead muscles a lot when she was speaking, and she had expression marks because of that. So I decided do not move mine like that. Years after, now, I have no wrinkles or lines at all. Of course when I laugh, when I cry, it moves, but it I dont do it unnecessarily like many people do.
@@colabpro2615 the minimal possible. Sometimes I don't even do it, but I always washed my face in cold water, not matter the season. I think a life without any smoking, drugs and very little alcohol, plus a more natural diet helped my skin a lot. I used tretinoin in my early twenties for acne, but I was never consistent, always on and off. I just started again this week.
And I have VERY expressive eyebrows. I went for Botox and my dr said my muscles are very powerful and that’s probably why at 38 my eyebrows are still very high, no sagging at all.
I've been using trentinoin for the last 2 years now, I believe! My skin looks amazing. I also take oral spironolactone for my hormonal acne. People usually think I'm in my mid 20s and are frequently surprised when I say I'm 32. You are who inspired me to research it and begin using it!
Hi Jennifer I am so glad that you are back on here. I noticed that you did not mention vitamin c. I recall from old videos that you used vitamin c in your am routine. Did you discontinue that? You give me motivation to keep hanging in there with my tretinoin. Thanks!
I'm 27 and started tretinoin 8 months ago because of you 🤩 I Can't believe the results it's like i have new skin I followed exactly the steps you recomended in your previous videos and i'm so glad i did Even at 27 i could see my face aging backword Thank you a lot jennifer you are my favorite on youtube 🥰
@@mcrobsessed247 I purged like craze for almost four months but even with purging i could see my skin was transforming into smooth and glowy I waited like she said and the result started after five months of usage Be consistent you are gonna thanks yourself later and start slow
@@z.m4825 great to hear this 🤩 i think we saved our skin when starting now we just need to stick with it forward My small wrinkels diminshed too 🥰 And going to try the azaelic acid
Im 18 and this gives me so much inspiration to not give up even though purging phase.. I started last week and used it twice. I started to peel off after 2nd application.. Because of you I started this journey.. Thank you so much for inspiration ❤❤❤luv u..
@@hadjer8146 how often are you applying it? it’s perfectly fine to start out applying tret once a week (or more or less depending on what your skin can handle) and working up to more frequent usage over time. I used once a week for 3 months-I have very sensitive, dry skin-and then began using twice a week for another month or so until I was comfortable enough to bump it up again. doing this will prevent your skin from purging and peeling because you’re spacing it out and giving your skin time to recover. I also recommend looking up “skin cycling/tret skin cycling” here on RUclips for info on that sort of process.
Jennifer you’re awesome! I have been watching your videos for years, and thanks to your content, my transition into living a healthy lifestyle, using Differin then Tretinoin was quite smooth. I too work in healthcare and understand the importance of taking care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually in order to help others. Thank you so much for everything you do and all the effort you put into your videos. 🙏💕
You are absolutely lovely! And it’s true! I’ve been using Tretinoin for over twenty years now and I assure you all that my skin looks like I’m in my early thirties when really I’m 47. Not to mention it’s so affordable
@@xmer3428 initially you need a prescription from a doctor but now I can just get refills. Per cream I pay about $30 and each cream lasts me well over 3 month if not longer for you only need a tiny bit.
I think “IF” she looks 41 then it’s because the shirt and her hair done up. Imagine her hair was down and that she’s wearing a bright shirt. It’s not always skin that indicates age. There are many other factors that make a person look young/old and skin is only one of them.
Ever try Tazorac/Tazarotene? I started on Tret around 1996 or so, then switched to Taz around 2000 and have been using it regularly ever since--- I'll never stop. Excellent video!
Jennifer has said in one of her older videos that she has never had procedures done and that she never will. She doesn't judge anyone who gets procedures done, but it's her personal choice not to do any of that stuff to her face. If you watch other videos on her channel you'll see that she lives an extremely clean and holistic life. Her diet and exercise routines are very consistent and disciplined. She also doesn't have children, and people underestimate how much raising kids can affect your overall stress levels and aging over time. I'm not saying all parents age faster, btw. I just think her not having children is a major factor in her lack of skin aging, and a fact that shouldn't be overlooked.
@@thiccpeach3660i’ve never been a very expressive person and my face hardly moves, almost like hers. and i’ve never done botox either, so it could be plausible that she hasn’t had anything done
I’m not going to lie, doing tret for a while made my forehead a bit hard to move. I had a lot of acne and the most activity going on up there and after it all cleared, it stopped wrinkling and I couldn’t lift my brows as much as before.
My skin is very sensitive and I have trouble with most treatments but I am using sunscreen since I was 20 consistently every day and now at 30 I start seeing a difference in the rate of aging compared to my peers.
I found using exfoliating face washes a good first step. I’ve been using the neostrata clarifying face wash for years. This has salicylic acid and mandalic acid and I am now able to use stronger actives either in face wash form and some leave on products.
You are so beautiful, I admire your determination and everyone else's who manage to stick to the routine and never gave up on tretinoin, I have done it for a year, not for acne but anti-aging but I decided I love being outside, I love swimming in sea, lakes, river, ride a bike, do gardening and I still use sunscreen but with tretinoin I always worried if I reapply often enough? I got anxious staying in direct sunlight, wore a hat all the time and I decided I don't want to live like this, sunscreen YES but gave up retinol, bring those wrinkles on😊 still love your channel, your mindset and health advice.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Very precise, straight forward and good calming speed. Not like many on the u tube taking fast with neurotic behaviour
I wanted to say you're aging like a fine wine! but you always were a fine wine lol.. you're just getting finer haha..i was 30 when i first started tret but i discontinued after 2 monsths of use but finally at 32 finally doing it for 3+ months and i am already seeing improvement! and all thanks to you cuz you're the first person who introduced me to tret
She could be autistic, if you think about it, her voice is monotone, she looks emotionless and she seems to have a special interest (skincare). She could also do it on purpose to don't get wrinkles. I'm not saying she's autistic, but it reminded me of some people who are
Jennifer, your complexion is beautiful! I started using Tretinoin about two months ago, and am about ready to give up; actually, I’ve cut back in using it. I’m using the 0.01%, and my face looks horrible! It’s peeling, it’s dry, and IV GOT PIMPLES! I’m in my 70’s! How can that be?! I try not to go out anywhere, because I’m embarrassed by the condition my face is in. My face feels rough to the touch, and I have wrinkles where I didn’t have before. I wish my face looked half as pretty as yours! Enjoyed your video!
Dearest Jennifer! I looove your videos a lot and I’m always excited if you upload one. You look beautiful, you have such a nice skin but I think how you live your life , how you nourish your body , it all comes together at one point, and thats’s the key to look healthy and fit. I wish you all the best, my warmest greetings from Hungary!
@Z.M. I mean you say you ate healthy but healthy can mean a lot of different things to different people . I found for myself that after I removed grains and dairy and added more healthy fats to my diet that my skin really improved. Also helps tremendously to stay hydrated and exercise regularly. Beauty comes from within not from a tube of chemicals imo…
I’ve been using 0.1% tretinoin since 2005. It took me some years to figure out what regimen works for my skin, and I’m 32 now and everyone says I look like I’m in my early 20s.
Thank you jenni mam i was dealing with acne at 25 i tried everything n nothing worked found ur channel , started my tretinoin journey ,,, saved my skin from bad breakouts,,,got my clear skin back thank you 🎉mam i will be consistent with it
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just got a prescription by my dermatologist and I already feel that my skin is sooo so smooth! I have really textured skin and leftover acne as well as scarring. Hope this helps me as well as it helped you
Hii Jennifer! Recently I have begun my Tretinoin journey. One thing that I am uncertain about is whether I can apply Tretinoin around my eyes. Thank you for dispelling my confusion^_^
Hiii Jenni … i really like your videos becz u r trustworthy to your fans and you r the best RUclipsr… no any recommendations to your fans for money , genuine advice … love ❤️ you so much dear🎉
I think you’re very wrong about the tretinoin timeframe. You said the side effects won’t even start showing until weeks into using it. The first time I put tretinoin on, a very very tiny amount on top of my heavily moisturized (absorbed) skin, I woke up in the morning with my entire face peeling. It took me one night, several hours to experience the side effects. Most people do. You also said that results don’t show in a month or two, and that it can take up to a year for them to start showing. For some people they really do though, on skin that tends to tolerate tretinoin better in general. I remember how it was for me, within a week my skin was much more glowy and radiant, and after two months my hyperpigmentation was significantly improved. The only thing that didn’t was the actual acne, which can take a little longer. I don’t think people are lying about their results, especially about side effects.
You are the best! You accurately describe your rationale behind this crystal clear approach. Simple and intelligent. Also, I perfected my Kimchi by learning your recipe !!!’ Thank you for being generous and sharing these beautiful simple lifestyle habits !
This is very interesting. I tried to find some research done on long term retinoid usage, but most of the papers are 10-20+ years old. I'm going to try to find more current publications and read all of the material. ^^ thanks for the video!
I was hoping you'd do a follow up video on your tretinoin journey! I had seen your other videos on this and your results are amazing. I've just completed my first year using adapalene/retinol every night while using and reapplying SPF every single day every 2 hours.
I had started using tretinoin 0.05% and adapalene 0.1% just after watching a RUclips Short video of a dermatologist and within a week, my skin was peeling (it was my 5th or 6th day). I did not know that it was supposed to happen and so I stopped, fearing that I have done something wrong with my skin. It's very interesting that it took 12 months for you to notice changes on your skin .I will however, admit that I was using it daily before sleep. I have started using tretinoin again (twice a week, I might increase it to 3 times).
Please see the description box for pertinent info!
I don't think you answered the question onto why you're using differin still if you're using tretonoin
Hiii, what do u used to remove sunscreen like ur first cleanse at night routine? Thank you ❤

How many days per week do you use it and what moisturizer do you pair it with?
@@RaquelpeQe21 initially i apply it only 3 times per week and i didn’t had that dry peeling face because my skin is oily so i guess that’s one of the many factors why i’ve rarely struggle with peeling issues
Hey how do you keep a prescription from your doctor after your acne has been healed?
@@angielove3574 i’m from malaysia and we can get tretinoin over the counter for only 5 dollars so i don’t need to go through doctor to get one 😅
Pls Tel me how to use tretion 1st moisturizer then tretioin
I started using tretinoin .1% at 29 for acne. I’m now 37 and continue to use it every night and I’m super religious about my sunscreen. I get many compliments on my skin and I’m often told I look a decade younger. I don’t spend money on high end, overly priced skincare. My Rx tretinoin and sunscreen is all I need. I use Cerave cleanser and Cerave moisturizer. I recently started using Rx hydroquinone too for evening out my skin tone. Luckily my insurance covers my tretinoin for acne, so only I pay for is the hydroquinone. I feel sooo lucky I started tretinoin so young, I will continue to use it until my old age lol
What country are you in? I want to buy tretinoin
Hydroquinone isn't good as far as I know..
@@colabpro2615 my doctor prescribed it and it’s meant to be used for a short time to reduce uneven skin tone. Then maintain results with sunscreen. I am able to use it again if the spots come back. My doc said it’s safe

Where u get .1% tretnion ?
I love your consistency and how authentic you are. I have been implementing these tips since your earlier videos and my skin just keeps getting better... No fancy products and no wishy washy new products every week. These simple products work the best and are the most budget friendly. I really appreciate your honestly and staying true to yourself and sharing.
Wow ! Great video ! To the point and a testament to the product and the process that you are taking about.
These are the type of “influencers” I’m looking for lately. I can’t with the ones that have a different “holy grail “ every month.
Thank you for making this video!😊
I started my retinol journey last year cuz im now 24. I was so naive that time and damaged my skin barrier gave me bad acne breakouts, I never had breakouts even on my teens, i had to rest for a few months and now back on retinol, im so glad i found your channel because you really inspire me on your commitment on an anti aging lifestyle and i try to incorporate it in my daily life thank youu
It's good to be starting while you're still young because once you hit the 30s aging hits you too. One day you wake up like what the hell happened lol
Keep using tretinoin and use it forever. Just use sunscreen during the day. I would also suggest using Vitamin C during the day as well if your skin can tolerate. If you do this now, you’ll look at least 5-10 years younger than your peers when you’re 40. I should know. I’m 40 and I started using tretinoin at the age of 27 for my acne. I have no fine lines or wrinkles
Because of you i found out i Can use both adapalene and tretinoin. Been using adapalene 2 years with great results and incorporated tret 2 weeks ago with no bad sideeffects. I am Super excited for the long term results. Recently Someone guessed my age by 23, i am 35 😅 🎉 😂
R u the Julia that is a Research Scientist?
Hey! I just wanted to ask, what are the benefits of mixing adapalene and tretinoin. I've been using tretinoin for almost a year now and it got me thinking.
I also want to know why you use both adaptalene and tret, is there a benefit of using both?
@@jeradjone3469 Maybe because of acne too. But I know adapalene is less abrasive(?)
@@tchrisou812 no
your voice is so relaxing
She's marriage material
@@whatsup24_7 So true, I love her vibe.
I love these updates. Videos like these are a good reminder that slow and steady wins the race.
I love the video, the products and the results! ❤ Everyone talking crap in the comments about you using Botox, who cares if you do or don’t. Yes botox prevents lines from forming. From experience Botox can help with that but it can’t give you great skin! This video is about skincare, and it’s obvious you have amazing skin from Tretinoin and your commitment to your skincare regimen. Thank you for sharing what works for you. Make sure you choose a non-toxic spf everyone 😊 Not all are created equally.
so assuming she started when she was 20, now she must be 40, and she said that's how old I am... i mean... i think you stopped aging since you used it. really give us all hope
I've been using that product for 46 years. Could never live without it
How long after cleansing do you apply tretinoin? And how long after tret do you apply moisturiser?
Do you apply to the neck too
I don’t use Tretinoin. I use Adapalene 0.1% doesn’t matter the brand (Acne Free, Differin, La Roche Posay, generic, etc). I’ve been it consistently for 2-3 years along with my regular skincare routine including daily sunscreen and my skin improved so much. Adapalene is so gentle and non irritating for my combination skin. Thank you for inspiring me to use it.
ty for this comment I will try this also 🙏
I was wondering if adapalene is as efficient as Tretinoin, I guess it is.
I started using differin recently and my skin is purging a lot , I'm so afraid it doesn't work for me.. did you have the same experience??? how many weeks have you waited before seeing a result
Hi Jennifer, you are inspiring to me and so many others. A testament to your honesty and integrity. ❤
I was looking at your video from the age of 37 and you looked 23! Now you look 27 - amazing work! you've singlehandedly moved me closer to a skincare emphasis rather than a makeup emphasis. I still wear alot of makeup on special occasions but now I'm a light makeup during the week girlie and emphasize my skin!
Hello Jennifer!
I hope you're doing great. And good to see you back, really missed you here on RUclips. I have a humble request video for you, can you please make a video on your insights and learnings from the book Bhagavad Gita. One of the reasons that compelled me to read was your book recommendations which was influential in motivating me to read the book and it excites me to know your take backs from the book in your words since you have a profound depth in whatever you do especially in reading books, research, and in your sense of being. I love your passion and intensity which I believe stems from a beautiful place of genuine intentions. Looking forward to more videos ❤
Very kind of you Jennifer to share your age with us ❤
Thank you for this video!! I just started back in January and it’s been the best decision I made,, I have been consistently with it since coming across your videos.
I have been using retinA since the 1980. And won stop using it. I have made my skin so beautiful. Let’s keep using retinA. Better than many expensive creams.
How long after cleansing do you apply tretinoin? And how long after tret do you apply moisturiser?
@@Ohkeh640 I wait about twenty minutes after I wash my face and then apply the retinA. And anywhere from thirty to forty to apply moisturizer. But not every one does that. I allow my time in the evening.
I started Differin when I was 26, I am now 30 and just started tretinoin two months ago. My skin has changed completely and I’m never looking back!
You prefer tretinoin to differ in?
@@chelseaandhobbes they’re very similar results honestly! But I chose to switch to tret ultimately because it has better research behind its long term efficacy.
Hello Jennifer , I would like to thank you for sharing your secret. I started using Tretinoin after watching your videos and I am so grateful to you. I have been using it for almost 2 years and my skin is looking so great. Thank you
I started when I was 37 and I am already 43 and my friends would always say I look younger than my age. Thanks Jennifer for this inspiring video.
can you share the step of using it and the pic of the cream if possible and is it ok for baby sensitive skin types and also under eyes areas??
How long after cleansing do you apply tretinoin? And how long after tret do you apply moisturiser?
@@proudmuslima2879if you’re just starting I recommend a thick moisturiser like cerave in the tub first, on dry skin and waiting 30 min then applying tret a pea size. You can do this the first few months til your skin gets used to the tretinoin. Or continue using this way if you’re very sensitive. ❤
I watch your videos whenever i feel the urge to try new products, reminds me that just having a simple routine is enough as long as i am consistent and patient with it.
I’ve used retinoids for over 7 years and I’m 22 now. I started them for acne, and now afterwards I’m continuing to use them for healing my leftover scars. I still have leftover scarring but it is way better than what it used to be, and my skin is smoothing out. After I rid myself of these battle scars, I will continue using retinoids for anti-aging.
I've used retin-A since I was 13, I'm now 54. I will never stop using it because I definitely look younger than most women my age. I also use c serum and peptides. Plus sunscreen TWICE a day because I am a bus driver and need to protect my skin😀👍
So show us your skin.
@@mineralwater4914she literally has a profile picture with her face in it
@@mineralwater4914????
@@mineralwater4914 you can choose not to believe in her. She needn't to prove it.
What kind of sunscreen do you use ?
Fot who is saying that she has botox:. Im 32, but when I was 15, I realized one of my school friends used to move her forehead muscles a lot when she was speaking, and she had expression marks because of that. So I decided do not move mine like that. Years after, now, I have no wrinkles or lines at all. Of course when I laugh, when I cry, it moves, but it I dont do it unnecessarily like many people do.
What's your skincare routine...? Would you like sharing?
@@colabpro2615 the minimal possible. Sometimes I don't even do it, but I always washed my face in cold water, not matter the season. I think a life without any smoking, drugs and very little alcohol, plus a more natural diet helped my skin a lot. I used tretinoin in my early twenties for acne, but I was never consistent, always on and off. I just started again this week.
And I have VERY expressive eyebrows. I went for Botox and my dr said my muscles are very powerful and that’s probably why at 38 my eyebrows are still very high, no sagging at all.
it's so sad and hilarious how you all are worried about natural shit. Cream won't save you when you're 60.
@@GabrielleTollerson speak for yourself only. And why are you sad for plp you don't even know?
I've been using trentinoin for the last 2 years now, I believe! My skin looks amazing. I also take oral spironolactone for my hormonal acne. People usually think I'm in my mid 20s and are frequently surprised when I say I'm 32. You are who inspired me to research it and begin using it!
Does spironolactone helps with the unwanted body hair ?
@sirinedrole8521 I have really no clue about that, however, I haven't noticed any difference. I'm not sure super hairy person to start though
How long after cleansing do you apply tretinoin? And how long after tret do you apply moisturiser?
Hi Jennifer I am so glad that you are back on here. I noticed that you did not mention vitamin c. I recall from old videos that you used vitamin c in your am routine. Did you discontinue that? You give me motivation to keep hanging in there with my tretinoin. Thanks!
Yes girl!!! ❤❤❤ I've been using retinoidS almost 15 years...im the girl in my you tube profile photo, im in my 40s.
I'm 27 and started tretinoin 8 months ago because of you 🤩
I Can't believe the results it's like i have new skin
I followed exactly the steps you recomended in your previous videos and i'm so glad i did
Even at 27 i could see my face aging backword
Thank you a lot jennifer you are my favorite on youtube 🥰
I want to follow that video. Can you mention which one?
How long til you started seeing results and did your face purge? If so, how long?
@@mcrobsessed247
I purged like craze for almost four months but even with purging i could see my skin was transforming into smooth and glowy
I waited like she said and the result started after five months of usage
Be consistent you are gonna thanks yourself later and start slow
@@z.m4825 great to hear this 🤩 i think we saved our skin when starting now we just need to stick with it forward

@@z.m4825 same here didn't started because i was scared too 😅
But you know it's never too late
Happy to see you back on utube Jen
Im 18 and this gives me so much inspiration to not give up even though purging phase.. I started last week and used it twice. I started to peel off after 2nd application.. Because of you I started this journey.. Thank you so much for inspiration ❤❤❤luv u..
Is it normal to it to be painful while purging? It hurts a lot for me
Is that age not too soon
@@hadjer8146 how often are you applying it? it’s perfectly fine to start out applying tret once a week (or more or less depending on what your skin can handle) and working up to more frequent usage over time. I used once a week for 3 months-I have very sensitive, dry skin-and then began using twice a week for another month or so until I was comfortable enough to bump it up again. doing this will prevent your skin from purging and peeling because you’re spacing it out and giving your skin time to recover. I also recommend looking up “skin cycling/tret skin cycling” here on RUclips for info on that sort of process.
@@dulcae started with 3 times/ week that's why,
I will look it up
Thank you so much ❤️
@@malikasaja1131 not really, teenagers often have acne
Have you considered starting a podcast? You give such sound advice and have quite a calming voice I'd love to hear more from you.
Jennifer you’re awesome! I have been watching your videos for years, and thanks to your content, my transition into living a healthy lifestyle, using Differin then Tretinoin was quite smooth. I too work in healthcare and understand the importance of taking care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually in order to help others. Thank you so much for everything you do and all the effort you put into your videos. 🙏💕

You are absolutely lovely! And it’s true! I’ve been using Tretinoin for over twenty years now and I assure you all that my skin looks like I’m in my early thirties when really I’m 47. Not to mention it’s so affordable
Does the insurance cover it or all out of pocket?
@@xmer3428 initially you need a prescription from a doctor but now I can just get refills. Per cream I pay about $30 and each cream lasts me well over 3 month if not longer for you only need a tiny bit.
@@SN-wi6nnit can last up to a year if you use it twice a week
Happy Solar return Jennifer. Thank you for always bringing us your Gemini wisdom
You look 41 however a very well cared for 41 year old. Tretinoin is an excellent exfoliator, well done and thank you for sharing your video... 😊
She does not look 41! Maybe early 30s
I think “IF” she looks 41 then it’s because the shirt and her hair done up. Imagine her hair was down and that she’s wearing a bright shirt. It’s not always skin that indicates age. There are many other factors that make a person look young/old and skin is only one of them.
hesitant to start this product, but your results make me optimistic! Your skin looks beautiful 😍
20 years?? What a dedication I wish I was that smart
Thank you for taking the time to share your skincare regimen. I'm starting tretinoin and needed this information. Thank you.
You are beautiful! Glowy, glassy skin and very relaxed demeanor😍 Thanks for the video.
Ever try Tazorac/Tazarotene? I started on Tret around 1996 or so, then switched to Taz around 2000 and have been using it regularly ever since--- I'll never stop. Excellent video!
Your skin is flawless! I wish I would have started using tretinoin a long time ago.
“I plan to use this forevermore.”

She is giving me Kourtney Kardashian vibes. Beautiful skin.
Do you do facials? Or lasers? Also can you share your supplements?
Only her mouth moves so she might have Botox 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: Emphasis on MIGHT I’m not saying she has🙄
@@thiccpeach3660thimking same. Her face looks frozen.
Jennifer has said in one of her older videos that she has never had procedures done and that she never will. She doesn't judge anyone who gets procedures done, but it's her personal choice not to do any of that stuff to her face. If you watch other videos on her channel you'll see that she lives an extremely clean and holistic life. Her diet and exercise routines are very consistent and disciplined.
She also doesn't have children, and people underestimate how much raising kids can affect your overall stress levels and aging over time. I'm not saying all parents age faster, btw. I just think her not having children is a major factor in her lack of skin aging, and a fact that shouldn't be overlooked.
@@thiccpeach3660i’ve never been a very expressive person and my face hardly moves, almost like hers. and i’ve never done botox either, so it could be plausible that she hasn’t had anything done
I’m not going to lie, doing tret for a while made my forehead a bit hard to move. I had a lot of acne and the most activity going on up there and after it all cleared, it stopped wrinkling and I couldn’t lift my brows as much as before.
My skin is very sensitive and I have trouble with most treatments but I am using sunscreen since I was 20 consistently every day and now at 30 I start seeing a difference in the rate of aging compared to my peers.
I might try tretinoin again when I have had kids so I don‘t have to go on and off the treatment which irritates my skin too much
I found using exfoliating face washes a good first step. I’ve been using the neostrata clarifying face wash for years. This has salicylic acid and mandalic acid and I am now able to use stronger actives either in face wash form and some leave on products.
You could try retinal, it's one step away from tretinoin and much less irritating...
You are so beautiful, I admire your determination and everyone else's who manage to stick to the routine and never gave up on tretinoin, I have done it for a year, not for acne but anti-aging but I decided I love being outside, I love swimming in sea, lakes, river, ride a bike, do gardening and I still use sunscreen but with tretinoin I always worried if I reapply often enough? I got anxious staying in direct sunlight, wore a hat all the time and I decided I don't want to live like this, sunscreen YES but gave up retinol, bring those wrinkles on😊 still love your channel, your mindset and health advice.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Very precise, straight forward and good calming speed. Not like many on the u tube taking fast with neurotic behaviour
I wanted to say you're aging like a fine wine! but you always were a fine wine lol.. you're just getting finer haha..i was 30 when i first started tret but i discontinued after 2 monsths of use but finally at 32 finally doing it for 3+ months and i am already seeing improvement! and all thanks to you cuz you're the first person who introduced me to tret
Notice how not a single muscle on her face moves. That's called Botox. I hope she reviews this!
She has a view videos where she explains her mouth is small and has less range of motion which make it falsely appear stiff. You never know though.
Not to mention the fi7ter
She could be autistic, if you think about it, her voice is monotone, she looks emotionless and she seems to have a special interest (skincare). She could also do it on purpose to don't get wrinkles. I'm not saying she's autistic, but it reminded me of some people who are
Shes a myers, mysers dont move faces
@@mervisa89well she addressed her autism in her video about radical acceptance and about how she manages her emotions
Jennifer, your complexion is beautiful! I started using Tretinoin about two months ago, and am about ready to give up; actually, I’ve cut back in using it. I’m using the 0.01%, and my face looks horrible! It’s peeling, it’s dry, and IV GOT PIMPLES! I’m in my 70’s! How can that be?! I try not to go out anywhere, because I’m embarrassed by the condition my face is in. My face feels rough to the touch, and I have wrinkles where I didn’t have before. I wish my face looked half as pretty as yours! Enjoyed your video!
dangggg thats insane, your skin is perfect! I hope to get similar results at 27
Amazing results omg!❤ you look beautiful!
Dearest Jennifer! I looove your videos a lot and I’m always excited if you upload one. You look beautiful, you have such a nice skin but I think how you live your life , how you nourish your body , it all comes together at one point, and thats’s the key to look healthy and fit. I wish you all the best, my warmest greetings from Hungary!
@Z.M. I mean you say you ate healthy but healthy can mean a lot of different things to different people . I found for myself that after I removed grains and dairy and added more healthy fats to my diet that my skin really improved. Also helps tremendously to stay hydrated and exercise regularly. Beauty comes from within not from a tube of chemicals imo…
Booooring
She is beautiful but looks her age :)

Hiii Jenni … i really like your videos becz u r trustworthy to your fans and you r the best RUclipsr… no any recommendations to your fans for money , genuine advice … love ❤️ you so much dear🎉
I think you’re very wrong about the tretinoin timeframe. You said the side effects won’t even start showing until weeks into using it. The first time I put tretinoin on, a very very tiny amount on top of my heavily moisturized (absorbed) skin, I woke up in the morning with my entire face peeling. It took me one night, several hours to experience the side effects. Most people do.
You also said that results don’t show in a month or two, and that it can take up to a year for them to start showing. For some people they really do though, on skin that tends to tolerate tretinoin better in general. I remember how it was for me, within a week my skin was much more glowy and radiant, and after two months my hyperpigmentation was significantly improved. The only thing that didn’t was the actual acne, which can take a little longer.
I don’t think people are lying about their results, especially about side effects.
It’s so lovely to see you back😊
You are the best! You accurately describe your rationale behind this crystal clear approach. Simple and intelligent.
Also, I perfected my Kimchi by learning your recipe !!!’
Thank you for being generous and sharing these beautiful simple lifestyle habits !
This is very interesting. I tried to find some research done on long term retinoid usage, but most of the papers are 10-20+ years old. I'm going to try to find more current publications and read all of the material. ^^ thanks for the video!
I was hoping you'd do a follow up video on your tretinoin journey! I had seen your other videos on this and your results are amazing. I've just completed my first year using adapalene/retinol every night while using and reapplying SPF every single day every 2 hours.
Does tretinoin help with open pores, and acne scars ?
@@sairafatima6524yes it does totally!
You are/were the prettiest girl ever! Thank you so much for sharing this! Love you from Spain ♡
I had started using tretinoin 0.05% and adapalene 0.1% just after watching a RUclips Short video of a dermatologist and within a week, my skin was peeling (it was my 5th or 6th day). I did not know that it was supposed to happen and so I stopped, fearing that I have done something wrong with my skin. It's very interesting that it took 12 months for you to notice changes on your skin .I will however, admit that I was using it daily before sleep. I have started using tretinoin again (twice a week, I might increase it to 3 times).
had to watch this... your skin is so buttery🤤
