Hey guys and welcome to todays video where I want to share with you how I use tret in my evening skincare routine.. What do you think or this routine, let me know in the comments.. Love x
Thank you for this video. I'm 65 but am fortunate to have fairly good skin (I've always looked after it) but since having chemo (a long & rather arduous 8 cycles) I've experienced acne, which I've managed to settle down by using Retinol cream. I was lucky enough to get some Obagi cream, which suited my skin so well but can't seem to find it anywhere in the UK now. I appreciate it is difficult for you to recommend particular products when you can't see someone's skin but am interested to know if there is any particular cream of this type, preferably Tretinoin? Thank you in advance... x
I use tretinoin from agency. My formula has tret .14%, azelaic acid 5%, tranexamic acid 5%, niacinamide 4%. I love it. I don't really have sensitive skin so I use glycolic acid, copper peptides and bakuchiol of the evening before putting my tret on. I normally have dry and dehydrated skin but it's more normal now that I've perfected my skin regimen thanks to watching your videos!!!
@@TheDreamymy yes, not sure how or why that's funny? It's thru agency and is the highest % by prescription. If you're interested, check out Agency, they originally were Curology.
@@TheDreamymy hey hi! I get my prescription tret thru Agency, they're a branch off of Curology. .14% is the highest % of prescription strength tret you can get. Private Doctors will/can only prescribe up to .1% in the US. Just to clarify, .14% is more than .1%, in case you're not a math whiz. I'm not sure why it's shocking or funny what strength my prescription is - its the strongest prescription strength, it works for me and my skin and that's all that matters! Feel free to reach out if you want more info about agency or if you're interested in trying it. I love the convenience!
Love seeing different am/pm routines.....i struggle getting tretinoin, copper peptides, glycolic and vit c in a routine because everything seems to clash 😮
I've been using tretinoin for a few years with wonderful results. It wasn't until I started using it with a derma roller before I was able to completely fade my hyperpigmentation. Everything I read said not to do that, but honestly my skin never looked better. I'll never be without my tret 😍
After 3 years on 0.05 tret on my face, i am thinking of upping to 0.1. I still use retinol on my neck, but might switch to retinal. Also, i just switched my azelaic acid to the geek and gorgeous one based on your rec and am very pleased! Thank you so much!
I use tretinoin alternating every other night with MAS Retinal. I use A Game 5 on my neck on the nights I use Tret. I follow your routine almost identically except I use galactomyces first and the centella brightening serum, before Azelaic. For droppers I use around 5 drops and for pump I tend to use 1 pump except for your super serum which I use 1 and a bit! My 30ml bottles tend to last me around 3 months. I could see the instant glow on camera with your peptide serum and I’m heading right over there to pre-order! Sending love from the poolside of a vegan retreat (daughter’s choice!) slathered in MAS sunscreen❤xx
Over the winter I tried Tretinoin for my melasma but it didn't actually change much so I'll get back to retinal in summer. Over the counter I love the products from Niche Beauty Labs. The Transparent Lab Retinal Age Reverse for my neck and eyes and the Theramid Clinical Vitamin A for my face. (Beginners be careful, it's only non irritating, if you come from medical strength retinoids)
Hi, I'm very glad you have incorporated the tretinoin in your routine! I use tretinoin, a-ret gel 0.5%. And thank you very much, as you encouraged me to stick to it when the dryness hit me around week 7. At the beginning I had no issues, and when the dryness started, I got a bit scared and I was thinking to stop. Fun fact the azelaic acid caused me itching and pain for weeks so I gave up on it (aPAD-Azeclair from G&G was okay but I did not see anything, so I did not bought it again).
Hello my friend 👋🏽, I use prescription strength Tretinoin .025%. I also use Cocokind over the counter retinol on days I do not use my prescription. I sandwich it between my serums & moisturizer. When I double cleanse, I use an oil cleanser followed with a gel foaming facial wash. One thing that really works for is using essence pads prior to my first serum. Great video and information. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
I used G&G retinal, changed to MAS when you brought your one out! I 🩵 club card prices 🤩 Waiting patiently for the hydration spray to come back in & can’t wait to try your peptide serum❣️ 😘 xx
Hi Rob so good to see you again ! I use Retinal after having used Retin A for quite some time ... I think that Retinal is a great substitute for my good looking 64 years old skin .. I vote for routines
This is one of the most useful videos I've watched on tretinoin. Thank you! In response to your question, I used tretinoin for the past three months, but brutally damaged my skin barrier. I'm now taking a break from actives to repair my barrier. Will probably dial down to retinal for a few months before trying tretinoin again.
Yay! Thanks for this. I just came here to search for your routine with tretinoin. And voila! I just restarted my tret journey for the umpteenth time since 2021. This time, I started extremely low with 0.005%, for a few months, through my subscription service and will bump up soon to 0.025. So I'm gathering all the tips now. Your videos help so much 😊
I think I mentioned it in an earlier video. Tretnoin is my choice. I have been able to use a nice snail product, that helps keep my skin from drying out too much. I also use a snail product u recommend to me. Coxir. Black snail collagen. I luv them both. They really make all the difference in the world for my dryness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YAYYYYY! I just pre-ordered 5 bottles of the Copper Peptide serum!! I cannot wait to try it out! Sending so much happiness and love over to you, Rob! :D
Can’t wait to use your Copper Peptide!! Curious since it’s encapsulated - can I use it with acids like light levels of lactic and salicylic acids? Thanks xx
I'm tretinoin. Your info is really good here. Easy to give yourself an unintended peel if you put it on too much. It's a delicate thing to get right. I'm using an Ordinary cleanser. Yes I have the cat hair problem too😂❤
I started with Medik8 crystal retinal 3 on my face and BoJ retinal eye cream. 1,5 months later I moved to the elf retinal (which is stronger) on my face and started the medik8 on my neck. Another 1,5 months later I started tretinoin 0,025 on my face and moved the elf retinal on my neck. I plan when my elf retinal is finished to try mixing tret with a tick moisturizer and applying it on my neck. If it doesn't work then I'll try the geek and gorgeous a game 10 on my neck.
Congratulations for figuring out your perfect routine to conquer your tretinoin journey! I love the aPad and aloeNAG combo and use them together every day ❤ Wishing you a beautiful weekend! Can't wait to preorder the peptide serum (that is if it isn't already out 😂). 🥳
I just started using tretinoin the past two weeks. My skin feels tighttttttt but I'm going to keep going. I know I need to go through my ugly duck stage before.I see the skin beauty!
Hi Rob, I love your chatty presentations. Have you heard of dry eye problems from retinol,retinal and tret use. My dry eye doc was very anti, so I use vaseline round eye area and keep my rental product well away from eye area and hoping for the best.
Is it best to mix up your skincare routine every now and again? Different products and brands? Or stick with what products you love. I worry if I use the same products too long theyll have less affect in time. Love love love your vids ❤️
I actually think that consistency is key with skincare so sticking with the same ones in the long term is best if they are working for you.. hope this helps x
Yet another great video :) We only have to be cautious with peptides and tret if it is pertaining to copper peptides, correct? Regular peptides should be fine? Just wondering cause my pre-tret routine includes Argireline/timeless HA Serum combo and snoxin II
Hi Rob, I am late to this party!!! Have a bit of catching up to do!! I use tret when I can (you have to get it on prescription here in Ireland and most derms won't prescribe it for 'ageing gracefully' reasons!!) - however I stock up whenever I am in Spain. In the interim I LOVE the Geek and Gorgeous retinal (I am on level 10 now). G and G are a fantastic brand and their founder Judit is really impressive (Clare Johnston from The Honest Channel interviewed her a couple of years back and it was hard not to fall head-over-heels for her and the brand - she is impressive!!) - they are very reasonably priced when compared to Medik8. (Their cleansing balm is a MUST for me and their Vit C serum is a regular order - so so good and so fairly priced!!).
I've just started using retinol and I started with the cerave blue bottle which I liked and got no irritation. It's almost done and I've already bought the elf granactive/retinal to try next since it's stronger and hopefully will do more without irritation.
I use retinal. Specifically the Peach and Lily Retinal for All Renewing Serum. Also the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum. I’ve tried retinol, it irritates my skin. Tried adapalene gel, it dried me out and would flare my eczema. Retinal seems to be the one my skin responds to best. Have not tried tretinoin yet, and probably won’t any time soon. Hope that helps.
I've been using tretinoin for several years. I've found if my skin gets sensitive, applying it over moisturizer is very helpful. It definitely gets through moisturizer to the skin.
WELL DONE ROB!! Congrats on adding another product to the Mad about Skin collection!! When I get paid this week I will be on the site like Usain Bolt!!!! BTW I use a 100% Hyaluronic Acid serum 1st thing after my nightime cleanse, and before any other serums and tret/retinal - is this ok? I was working on the logic that the hylauronic acid would draw the products into my skin ... or am I wrong???? Thanks a mill. M
Absolutely love full skin care routines. I have struggled with my tretinoin for several years so I’m trying to perfect it too! I am 57 with normal/ combo skin, sensitive, occasional hormonal acne, but overall good condition with a few fine lines around the eyes. I am really working on the aging well routine, not just for my skin, but my life. Could I use the Stratia Interface as my peptides (I just purchased and have been using in my AM routine) or would that not be a good peptide option? Also, I love my K beauty toners. I use Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence and MakePrem Safe Me (from Kelly Driscoll’s channel 💕) - along with a plethora of others I’ve purchased, but I try to stick to hydrating, soothing and barrier protecting. Is it okay to use these along with my tretinoin? Thank you so much! You are an absolute favorite. My son lived in England for 4 years due to his job and I loved shopping at Tesco! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇱
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1……the only Retinoid my skin will tolerate….under dermatologist guidance here, expensive but my skin plays perfectly with it…. I’m not sure if I’ll go up in strength I’ll discuss with my derm as I’m getting visible results after 3 months including compliments on how good my skin is
I started with the geek and gorgeous a game 5 which is the lower strength of the 2. I’ve had zero issues with irritation and I have sensitive skin and honestly it works wonders, I got mine on Amazon Hopes that helps in the minefield that is skincare 😊
Oh very nice routine 😍 mine is a bit minimal compared to yours, maybe I need to step up my game. A game 10, TO copper peptides (until I get yours of course), ample:n ceramide shot, MAS moisturizer. I use your super serum in the morning, maybe I should use it twice a day for the azelaic acid 🤔 as always lots of love from Germany!
I currently use Retin-A Micro that I purchased from two different online Indian pharmacies. I have made several purchases over the years, and when I do I usually buy at least six tubes of each product. My last purchase was about 2 years ago. It is quite an involved process to get set up with them initially, and can seem kind of sketchy at times. I cannot find the two I have used in the past, which is odd. If anyone knows why this may be the case, please let me know. My best advice is to BE CAUTIOUS with each step of the process if you decide to go this route. If anyone is wondering why I do this, it is cost. In the United States, we pay over $100 for one tube, where as I have been able to purchase what the exact same thing, same brand, etc. for approximately $10. I think the tubes may be a little smaller, but overall I have been extremely happy.
Thank you so much hun and I am so glad your enjoying the videos.. I do every other day so 3/4 times a week and my skin seems to be fine with it :) love x
Love this video.. I use tretinoin 0.1 % every night. Directly to my skin with moisturizers over it. It took a while to use this strength. I started off at a lower concentration . I also use a group of products by Peaches Skin Care here in the US. I use Vitamin C in the morning with a few serums and sunblock. Tretinoin is not something to be feared. Yes there will be peeling at first, but it can be done.
Whatever happened to Renova? I thought you had said you were sticking with Retinal. I discovered retinal from the boj eye cream. I started using all over my face like many reviewers were. Love your content 😺😻😊
Hi Rob, i'm curious. You use a lot of products, i would love to do the same but don't have the time. How long do you leave in-between aplying each product? Thank you!
I use Sidmool dr.Troub 1.5% pure retinol serum (korean brand), and Ilcsi Cosmetics retinal serum 0.1% (hungarian brand) both very effective and strong.
Retinal Mad About Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Oil. My slightly sensitive skin loves it. Are you considering making another oil with a higher strength of Retinal? ❤
I prefer full routines. I do not copycat, but I can learn a lot about how to curate and maintain a routine. On my face I use tretinoin, gel version, 0,05 strength. On my neck I prefer retinal, 0,05 strength. Sometimes i go simply with the retinal. I fancy the texture of my new favourite retinal gel, which is from a Hungarian brand, this time not G&G, it is from Pom Pom. It is called Slow-age Retinal Peptide Face Gel or sg similar.
I've only just seen this video for some bizarre reason, I use Medik8 Crystal retinal face serum 6 on my face and neck, summer Fridays jet lag overnight eye serum and Medik8 crystal retinal 3 or 6 on my eyes and use face sprays constantly in between each layer of skicare, my favourite is niod spray! Can I use my biossance copper peptide serum first, and where does the hyaluronic acid come into it ? xx
Hello, so listening to this video it would be ok to use Tretinoin with Arbutin and Tranexamic acid then? At night I currently use: cleanser, Tretinoin, timeless Q10, PC peptides, Medik8 6 eye cream and moisturizer. Mornings: PC toner Timeless c serum Arbutin TXA Eye cream Moisturizer Sunscreen. Can I swap peptides to morning and Arbutin and TXA at night?
I started using Tret last year, but can't tolerate it. Even twice a weak over moisturizer burns my skin and turns it dark red for days. I don't use any other actives with it. I decided to let my skin heal and only use it on my larger pores and skip the rest of my face. So sad that it doesn't work for me
I use Tatcha Indigo cream first, then put my .05% tretinoin over it. My skin is taking forever (6+ months) to get used to tretinoin. I’m starting to wonder if I will ever get used to tretinoin.
Which tretinoin prescription are you getting sweetie? I live in the UK and I was getting it through Skin and Me, but now that I reached a commercially available dose, I wanted to change to a regular prescription. I managed to get with GP, but they said the only formulation available was Treclin. I have used it before and it is great, but, it has antibiotic too. So I did not want to use it for more than 3 months :/
I bought some retinol-ish products before I knew anything so now I'm trying to use up the Pixi jasmine and retinol toner (doubt it does anything, doesn't say percentage, still use it no more than 3 times a week). Then I have 3 retinol containing night creams: the Origins one, the Nip+Fab one and the La Roche Posay one. Does anyone have any suggestions about which one to use first? I'm thinking Origins, then Nix+Fab, then the LRP. The LRP seems to me the most 'proper' one, but I'm guessing the Origins will be milder? I know, I'm a horrible shopper and hoarder! When I finish these creams I think I'll do some proper research and then go for a serum, looking at Rob's recommendations!
I'm using tretinoin with dexpanthenol, tranexamic acid, and niacinimide. This formula works well for a while, then starts to irritates and cause peeling. I don't know how to avoid this.
My skin prefers adapalene used daily instead of tret every other day. I can use acids, peptides, and other actives with the adapalene and as someone who struggles with acne and is working on anti aging I need to be able to use other actives. I will probably switch to tret mid 30’s (currently 26)
I don’t use any serums on a tret night. Also I’m not doing the sandwich method but I use the tiniest amount of tret so maybe that’s why I don’t get irritation
Do you have to go to the GP to ask for a prescription? I’m not talking about dermatica or skin + me. I would like to get the same Tret as shown in the video. What is the price roughly and how long does it last roughly? ❤
A U.K. GP won’t prescribe Tret you would have to see a private GP or a private dermatologist . A GP may prescribe a topical treatment called Epiduo with is Benzyl Peroxide and Adapalene but it’s used for acne type of skin . The private Tret tubes lole like Obagi Tret is over £100 for a it’s either 15 or 20 ml can’t quite remember the ml size . Quite a small tube though /
Thank you for explaining to me. Wow it’s really expensive, especially if you try it and it’s not working for you or your skin can’t tolerate it :/ I will have a look into a private dermatologist. Thanks again

Hello, I use tretinoin 3 times per week and in the other nights is use G&G AGame 5. And it works☺️. Nice weekend for all
Snap. I am 3 times a week on tret then retinal on the other nights :) love xx
I use retinal. Specifically the Peach and Lily Retinal for All Renewing Serum. Also the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum. I’ve tried retinol, it irritates my skin. Tried adapalene gel, it dried me out and would flare my eczema. Retinal seems to be the one my skin responds to best. Have not tried tretinoin yet, and probably won’t any time soon. Hope that helps.
Plz tell what works best for dry skin
I've been using tretinoin for several years. I've found if my skin gets sensitive, applying it over moisturizer is very helpful. It definitely gets through moisturizer to the skin.
WELL DONE ROB!! Congrats on adding another product to the Mad about Skin collection!! When I get paid this week I will be on the site like Usain Bolt!!!! BTW I use a 100% Hyaluronic Acid serum 1st thing after my nightime cleanse, and before any other serums and tret/retinal - is this ok? I was working on the logic that the hylauronic acid would draw the products into my skin ... or am I wrong???? Thanks a mill. M
Absolutely love full skin care routines. I have struggled with my tretinoin for several years so I’m trying to perfect it too! I am 57 with normal/ combo skin, sensitive, occasional hormonal acne, but overall good condition with a few fine lines around the eyes. I am really working on the aging well routine, not just for my skin, but my life.
Could I use the Stratia Interface as my peptides (I just purchased and have been using in my AM routine) or would that not be a good peptide option? Also, I love my K beauty toners. I use Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence and MakePrem Safe Me (from Kelly Driscoll’s channel 💕) - along with a plethora of others I’ve purchased, but I try to stick to hydrating, soothing and barrier protecting. Is it okay to use these along with my tretinoin? Thank you so much! You are an absolute favorite. My son lived in England for 4 years due to his job and I loved shopping at Tesco! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇱
Amazing eyebrows
Awesome, this info was exactly what I was looking for 😘
Oh amazing and I am so so glad the video came in useful.. love xxxxxx
Retinal, retinol and granactive retinoid, adapalene during the day
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1……the only Retinoid my skin will tolerate….under dermatologist guidance here, expensive but my skin plays perfectly with it…. I’m not sure if I’ll go up in strength I’ll discuss with my derm as I’m getting visible results after 3 months including compliments on how good my skin is
I use Tret. A couple times a week I double up with a retinaldehyde.
I don't use a retinoid but i might start after this.. x
Let us know which one you go for if you do decide to give them a try.. love x
I started with the geek and gorgeous a game 5 which is the lower strength of the 2. I’ve had zero issues with irritation and I have sensitive skin and honestly it works wonders, I got mine on Amazon
Hopes that helps in the minefield that is skincare 😊
Looking forward to try out MAS copper. Great price range so really need to try it out :)
Thank you so so much hun, your support means a lot to me xx
I use Tretinoin twice a week and 5% retinol on other days (& always on my neck!)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing.. love x
Oh very nice routine 😍 mine is a bit minimal compared to yours, maybe I need to step up my game. A game 10, TO copper peptides (until I get yours of course), ample:n ceramide shot, MAS moisturizer. I use your super serum in the morning, maybe I should use it twice a day for the azelaic acid 🤔 as always lots of love from Germany!
I currently use Retin-A Micro that I purchased from two different online Indian pharmacies. I have made several purchases over the years, and when I do I usually buy at least six tubes of each product. My last purchase was about 2 years ago. It is quite an involved process to get set up with them initially, and can seem kind of sketchy at times. I cannot find the two I have used in the past, which is odd. If anyone knows why this may be the case, please let me know. My best advice is to BE CAUTIOUS with each step of the process if you decide to go this route. If anyone is wondering why I do this, it is cost. In the United States, we pay over $100 for one tube, where as I have been able to purchase what the exact same thing, same brand, etc. for approximately $10. I think the tubes may be a little smaller, but overall I have been extremely happy.
How many times a week do you use your tret? Thanks for all the fun and informative videos ! I appreciate you and them. 👏👏
Thank you so much hun and I am so glad your enjoying the videos.. I do every other day so 3/4 times a week and my skin seems to be fine with it :) love x
Love this video.. I use tretinoin 0.1 % every night. Directly to my skin with moisturizers over it. It took a while to use this strength. I started off at a lower concentration . I also use a group of products by Peaches Skin Care here in the US. I use Vitamin C in the morning with a few serums and sunblock. Tretinoin is not something to be feared. Yes there will be peeling at first, but it can be done.
I use maelove and Murad, and go to cerave or oil of Olay when I need something gentle!
Whatever happened to Renova? I thought you had said you were sticking with Retinal. I discovered retinal from the boj eye cream. I started using all over my face like many reviewers were. Love your content 😺😻😊
Hi Rob, i'm curious. You use a lot of products, i would love to do the same but don't have the time. How long do you leave in-between aplying each product? Thank you!
I'm using a retinaldehyde I just made the switch from a retinol recently. I put it on last then wait a bit and cover with castor oil.
I use Retin-A once a week with Retinol the other 6 days.
I use Sidmool dr.Troub 1.5% pure retinol serum (korean brand), and Ilcsi Cosmetics retinal serum 0.1% (hungarian brand) both very effective and strong.
I use Adapalene on my face and low percent retinol in an eye cream. Haven't found anything gentle enough for my sensitive neck 😅
Retinal Mad About Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Oil. My slightly sensitive skin loves it. Are you considering making another oil with a higher strength of Retinal? ❤
YAY!!!!! The peptide serum!!!! Gotta check that out!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Tret 0.25 on face and retinal around eyes ❤
I prefer full routines. I do not copycat, but I can learn a lot about how to curate and maintain a routine. On my face I use tretinoin, gel version, 0,05 strength. On my neck I prefer retinal, 0,05 strength. Sometimes i go simply with the retinal. I fancy the texture of my new favourite retinal gel, which is from a Hungarian brand, this time not G&G, it is from Pom Pom. It is called Slow-age Retinal Peptide Face Gel or sg similar.
I've only just seen this video for some bizarre reason, I use Medik8 Crystal retinal face serum 6 on my face and neck, summer Fridays jet lag overnight eye serum and Medik8 crystal retinal 3 or 6 on my eyes and use face sprays constantly in between each layer of skicare, my favourite is niod spray! Can I use my biossance copper peptide serum first, and where does the hyaluronic acid come into it ? xx
Hello, so listening to this video it would be ok to use Tretinoin with Arbutin and Tranexamic acid then?
At night I currently use: cleanser, Tretinoin, timeless Q10, PC peptides, Medik8 6 eye cream and moisturizer.
Mornings:
PC toner
Timeless c serum
Arbutin
TXA
Eye cream
Moisturizer
Sunscreen.
Can I swap peptides to morning and Arbutin and TXA at night?
I use Adapelene daily
Could i use cosrx snail mucin or the ordinary matrixyl with retinal ?
I use prescription tretinion from dermatologists in US.
Thank you so much for sharing hun.. sending you love x
I started using Tret last year, but can't tolerate it. Even twice a weak over moisturizer burns my skin and turns it dark red for days. I don't use any other actives with it. I decided to let my skin heal and only use it on my larger pores and skip the rest of my face. So sad that it doesn't work for me
I use Tatcha Indigo cream first, then put my .05% tretinoin over it. My skin is taking forever (6+ months) to get used to tretinoin. I’m starting to wonder if I will ever get used to tretinoin.
What’s the difference between the Medik8 Crystal Retinal and their Eye version in the same strength?
different formulation (eye one more gentle) but you can just use the normal one under the eye if you under eye can tolerate it.. love x
Which tretinoin prescription are you getting sweetie? I live in the UK and I was getting it through Skin and Me, but now that I reached a commercially available dose, I wanted to change to a regular prescription. I managed to get with GP, but they said the only formulation available was Treclin. I have used it before and it is great, but, it has antibiotic too. So I did not want to use it for more than 3 months :/
I bought some retinol-ish products before I knew anything so now I'm trying to use up the Pixi jasmine and retinol toner (doubt it does anything, doesn't say percentage, still use it no more than 3 times a week). Then I have 3 retinol containing night creams: the Origins one, the Nip+Fab one and the La Roche Posay one. Does anyone have any suggestions about which one to use first? I'm thinking Origins, then Nix+Fab, then the LRP. The LRP seems to me the most 'proper' one, but I'm guessing the Origins will be milder? I know, I'm a horrible shopper and hoarder! When I finish these creams I think I'll do some proper research and then go for a serum, looking at Rob's recommendations!
I'm using tretinoin with dexpanthenol, tranexamic acid, and niacinimide. This formula works well for a while, then starts to irritates and cause peeling. I don't know how to avoid this.
I use tretinoin on Saturdey evenings and on wednesdays I use “retincare” . My skin can’t tolerate more!
My skin prefers adapalene used daily instead of tret every other day. I can use acids, peptides, and other actives with the adapalene and as someone who struggles with acne and is working on anti aging I need to be able to use other actives. I will probably switch to tret mid 30’s (currently 26)
I don’t use any serums on a tret night. Also I’m not doing the sandwich method but I use the tiniest amount of tret so maybe that’s why I don’t get irritation
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts x
Tretinoin for the win. Buy otc when I visit Spain/turkey/mexico.
Thanks for watching and sharing x
Inkey retinol and tret! But tret is on hold because I can’t seem to figure it out properly
I don’t know why but I always get redness ONLY on my nasolabial folds 🤔
Do you have to go to the GP to ask for a prescription? I’m not talking about dermatica or skin + me. I would like to get the same Tret as shown in the video. What is the price roughly and how long does it last roughly? ❤
A U.K. GP won’t prescribe Tret you would have to see a private GP or a private dermatologist . A GP may prescribe a topical treatment called Epiduo with is Benzyl Peroxide and Adapalene but it’s used for acne type of skin . The private Tret tubes lole like Obagi Tret is over £100 for a it’s either 15 or 20 ml can’t quite remember the ml size . Quite a small tube though /
Thank you for explaining to me. Wow it’s really expensive, especially if you try it and it’s not working for you or your skin can’t tolerate it :/ I will have a look into a private dermatologist. Thanks again
How do we get hold of Tretinoin here in UK?
Dermatica or Skin & Me
I would say skin and me or dermatica are the best x
Dear Rob Have you by any chance tried the new TO Retinal? 🤔☺️ Just wondering if you have been sent an exclusive? 😋
Oh wow, they're launching a retinal?
