This was extremely interesting. Thank you for not simply regurgitating info we have heard before. You definitely have a unique perspective.
Thank you
As a PA I love that you stuck to data and statistically significant results. Thank you for also being straight forward and to the point, great video.
super interesting video, thank you for outlining studies and talking specifically about aging vs acne. this was exactly what i was just looking for :)
Your skin is beautiful Dr. Jenny!
Thanks for the data! It was super interesting to know that 0.1 and 0.05 didn' t show up a drastic difference on a biopsy🔬 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Great video! I started tretinoin + clindamycin gel back in October, then my derm switched me over to a tret-only cream in January, both at 0.025%. I'm very happy with it, and might think of going to 0.05% in a year. I can now tolerate it every night on cleansed skin, and even three times per week on my neck, where I used to get some painful acne. Seeing a professional was the best thing I could have done!
Thank you for the clearest explanation of retinoids I've seen. I also appreciate the caveat regarding damaged and aged skin not benefiting as much from a retinoid. That would actually be me. I've been using the Avene .1 retinaldehyde but it's pricey. Would love to see a video addressing these types of skin concerns for those of us over 65.
I think you will definitely benefit but also have realistic expectations. RETINOIDS are by far the most studied so definitely what I recommend using for anti-aging
@@dr.jennyliu I appreciate that advice Dr Liu. Love your very informative videos; mahalo from Hawaii! 🌈 ❤️
Try the Geek &Gorgeous Retinaldehyde
It is called A game 10. It is very good, the skin looks better , but as dr.said, be realistic in expectations. It is much cheaper than Avene and the concentration is 0.1. Hope this helps
Thanks Dr Jenny, this was great information 😊
I am on tretinoin 0.05 and using the retinoid sandwich method due to damaging my moisture barrier with onexton and tretinoin 0.1. Winter came and it was so bad so I quit onexton and use a bpo wash plus tretinoin 0.05 using the sandwich method. I love the sandwich method and plan on continuing it long term. In summer I am considering go back to tretinoin 0.1 since I. Use it for acne purposes to keep the hormonal stuff at bay when my cycle comes around. Is it bad to continue the sandwich method long term? I am only considering the bump to 0.1 if I continue the sandwich method since I don’t think I can tolerate it on my bare skin due to retinoid dermatitis in the past. Thoughts on the bump and long term use of sandwich method? I loveee your channel is has helped me so much. Derm just told me they want me on 0.1 and no guidance or tips how to get there
Hey Dr. Jenny, I ordered various products according to your recommendations and I’m a little confused on exactly which products will suit my skin type and specifically which products are safe for me to use. I need a step by step skincare routine. Therefore, just to give you a summary. I’m 19 years old that is dealing with hyperpigmentation due to post acne marks, I get white heads from time to time, and acne that’s always white and painful and ready to be popped😂, it keeps on growing on my chin and the sides of my face and a little on my forehead. I was thinking about buying adapalene by la roche posay adapalene 0.1%. I also ordered your recommended Cera Ve benzoyl peroxide cleansing foaming cleanser and now I’m ready to use adapalene. Which retnoid would you say is best for my skin and age. Is there anything else you would recommend?
PLEASE DO A TAZAORC dedicated video.
Thank you for your detailed and informative videos. Do you recommend a retinoid for around the eyes, like the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye? And then would you apply an eye moisturizer on top of that?
Hi Dr 😊 Are you able to tell me how many days / weeks I can actually go without using tretinoin at all before I begin losing the tolerance I am building? How quickly does your skin forget?
0.025 is effective for me but in the third week, I experienced headache, pain, and heart flutters. I'm not sure if I'd do better with other brands.
Hi! I am new to your channel. I am 52 years old and have pretty much ignored skin care till a month ago. I am Filipino, have history of bad acne till maybe in my 30s, never really wore sunscreen. I live in Central Florida so its humid here. My main concern is pigmentation maybe due to acne scars and I also have sun spots plus wrinkles on my forehead thats more pronounced now. I also have dark circles and baggies under my eyes. So I am changing my routine right now slowly as I do my research watching videos online. So what I am thinking for am routine is Cerave SA cleanser, timess Vit C serum, Vichy mineral 89, Australian gold sunscreen or le roche posay double repair with spf. I have tried the cleanser and Vit C and I can tolerate it pretty well. My night time is the one I am still putting together....I have le roche posay cleanser and currently using timeless coq10 serum, timeless eye cream and LRP double repair moisturiser. I have ordered and want to include the following.... naturium glycolic acid which I saw you recommend on one of your videos, and I also ordered adapalene., versed eye balm, etc. My question is how do I introduce glycolic acid and adaoalene into my routine that won't freak out my skin. Also, will adaoalene work for antiaging or should I just look for a retinaldehyde? I remember as a teenager using tretinoin but financially can't afford dermstologist right now. I have also experienced dermatitis 10 years ago and I think I was mixing products I had no idea did and it just freaked out my skin. Thank you so much for your content and I have loved watching your videos :)
Best video I’ve seen about retinol. I’m on 0.01% trentinoin cream for about 10 months and my skin looks the same. I use it every other day. I’ve had no irritation when starting. Do you think it’s worth going to 0.025%? My goal is to prevent aging/wrinkles. Thanks 😊
Yes and studies have shown when going down to a lower strength for maintenance works well
For acne, is tretinoin or tazarotene better? I have many little bumps and occasional acne
Is it at all beneficial to alternate using tretinoin and a retinol, say when my skin is irriated from tretinoin? Thank you. Love your videos.
Hello, I was wondering how Adapalene 0.3% compares to Tretinoin 0.1% compares to Tazarotene 0.1% for the treatment of acne in terms of efficacy. In addition, which formulation (cream, gel) would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Amazing video! Thank you. Question - I have been using tazarotene .1% for over five years now, initially for acne but now I'm mor concerned about photo aging. Is there a possibility that skin can develop a tolerance to the retin-a and thus it becomes less effective over time? Or no? I'm just nervous since I'm already at the max strength there's no way to go high as I get older
Me too. On & off. It doesn’t really help with pores or hyperpigmentation. What is your experience?
I use 0.1 tretenoid (Curology) for 3 yrs
But I started using RetinA in the 70's when it first came out. I am 70 now and Still have breakouts...but very few lines!!
Thank u for this thorough explaination
I am 35 years and have wide porse and just started to have lately saggy and very dehydrated skin, but i am so confused what type of retinol family to use
I will be so grateful if u can recommend a type and product for me
Go to your dermatologist. I'm in Germany.... and wanted Tretinoin. But apparently we have "Differin" here😬 I still don't know how this compares to the products girls use in USA😅
I have 0.1 % Differin.... but it is almost empty and I wanna switch to a higher dose for more effect😊
Dr. It would be interesting to compare efficacy in terms of antiaging Adapalene vs tretinoin vs tazarotene
How about low retinol concentration? 0.1% will help with fine line? If Yes how long will take to see some improvement
What about not using every night when using tazarotene for acne? Is it sufficient to use it maybe 5 nights a week to maintain benefits for acne prevention?
Is there a brand of prescribed tretinoin that you recommend?
I have lots of big hypertrophic acne scars. And i have a rough skin type. So which percentage of tretinion should i use? Please help me and suggest me 🙏🙏🙏 i m tired with my big hypertrophical scars 😭
I am 78 years old and I have been using Tretinoin 0.1% every night since 40 yrs old. I am noticing that I need some hyaluronic acid for some depression in my cheeks. Is there anything I can use from the Ordinary line for that? I have sensitive skin and it has taken a long time to work up to 0.1% every night. I started it because of acne. Now what can I do in the morning? I also use a moisturizer at night after applying 0.1%. Thank you.
Which type of tretinoin to use? Microsphere or cream?
Thank you for the video! I started using Retin-A micro 0.04% in November and its been a few months.. I still can’t tolerate more than 2-3x a week and I’m still getting pretty frequent acne (its not as deep as before though). What should I do??
Yes for acne definitely helps if you can use a more regularly
Does phone light and tv (artificial lights) affect the tretinoin?
Could you please comment on the European Union’s decision to limit over-the-counter retinols concentration to 0.3% by 2024? I find this crazy ,if this efficient enough?
I’m in my late 40’s & have occasional breakouts but mostly want anti-aging benefits. Aklief (trifarotene) is the only retinoid I have been able to tolerate with less side effects. I’ve been using the .005 the last year & love the pump too. Is this just as good as tretinoin/tazarotene for anti-aging? No long term studies have been made since it’s the latest retinoid generation 4.
How do people who dont use the “sandwich method” apply their tret? I apply moisturizer first, let it dry, then tret on top
hi Doc! is it okay to do the skincare after 3 to 4hrs of double cleanse?
Maam do you think upgrading retinol percentange is necessary ...I am currently using .3%
Just wondering, does putting moisturizer after tretinoin lowers the efficacy of tret? How long does it takes for tretinoin to absorb into the skin? Of course, it depends on how sensitive your skin is/ how it handles and whether it requires moisturizer.
But I've been curious on how to amplify the effectiveness of tret and whether is true by just applying tret and nothing else after (like serums/moisturizers) can *really* reap the benefits of tretinoin.
It really requires moisturizer to keep the moisture on your face because tretinoin is so strong that it can make your face flaky, itchy, and dry. It doesn't affect the efficacy of the tretinoin since you need to apply it first after cleansing. If you have dry skin you need to follow the Sandwich method so tretinoin would not penetrate directly to your skin which can put your face on a higher risk of irritation. How do you do it. Wash your face with gentle cleanser, apply moisturizer on a damp skin, wait for 10 minutes for your face to absorb moisturizer then apply your tretinoin then moisturizer again. Moisturizer just serves as the barrier to minimize irritation.
Hii i use cerave resurfacing retinol serum
I want to know if i can move to trentinoin 0.05% for acne purposes
hi! Am a beginner and my concern is open pores, uneven skin texture, acne scars, deep scars and acne break outs sometimes... so what should I try? an adapelene, retinol, retinaldehyde or tretinoin as a beginner?
Can l mix tretinoin with tazaroten?
What about adapalene?
This is helpful! What about differin? Does it have anti-aging effects?
It may but not enough studies on it!
Hi dr. Liu I think I build up my tolerance on my adapalene I'm almost 4th month on it and planning to use nightly? is that will going to weakened my skin barrier? or I will get the best results?
Your skin will tell you, if it’s irritated red sensitive and dry then you may need to take a break, if not then use as tolerated
Hello Dr Liu. I went from using a prescription tretinoid 0.025 from my derma to trying one with additional ingredients like the one from The Agency this prescription included Tretinoid 0.05, Nicinamide, Azaleic Acid I did get a reaction contact dermatitis and discontinued use. My question is should I stay with my original tret of 0.025 or have my derma go up 0.5 ? My goal is more anti aging.
They all have the same benefits. Higher May lead to more irritation so I recommend picking one you can use regularly
@@dr.jennyliu thank you 😊
do I have to start with retinol OTC or can I just start with 0.025 Tretinoin RX? Also, can Tretinoin be used around the eyes safely?
What do you think of Retinyl Retinoate, especially the Medik8 products containing it?
I really like that line, like their retinal and good studies on this conjugate.
Dr what do you think abt. Altreno lotion...I been using since September...little irritation/redness in the beginning...I see improvement and it's very moisturizing...but I don't hear any derms talking abt this one..thank you
It’s relatively new that’s why and with newer medications they are more expensive and less prescribed but it’s fda approved meaning it’s shown efficacy
You have stated that if you tolerate it daily and want to maintain results, you can reduce to 3x per week. What if you never take it up to daily use to begin with, is 2-3x per week still effective/beneficial? I ask because I also use AHA products and like to alternate, but I also want to leave a night or two with no actives. My goal is anti-aging and I am using 0.05% tretinoin gel. Thank you!
Most likely but results may no be as fast as daily use
@@dr.jennyliu Thank you!
if you're a beginner to retinols or rerinoids entirely, what should you start with? can you give me cheap products or percentage advice?
Checkout Good molecules brand
Okay retinol 24 regenerist. Can use this 4 times a week. Then from there move up to retinol .025% then .05% after 6 months and stay there till u can go daily for .05% before even considering .1%
Can a glycolic 25% moisturizer be used on top of adapalene? If not, would everyother night be ok?
I highly don’t recommend that
A leave-on product with 25% glycolic acid sounds like a professional treatment and not something you could find OTC. Yikes.
I’ve got prescription for Retin A Micro gel 0.04%. Does it have same efficacy as Tretinoin?
Retin a micro is tretinoin but brand name
Will changing from 0.1% retinal to 0.02% retinal still deliver anti-ageing benefits to the face long term despite the latter being of low concentration? The reason for the switch is that the 0.1% retinal formulation has fragrance in it. Thanks
Yes it can. Or at very least sustain improvements
@@dr.jennyliu are there any studies around 0.02% retinaldehyde delivering anti-ageing benefits?
Will retinaldehyde and retinol in the long run give you the same anti-aging benefits as tretenoin? What do the studies say?
Not as strong but they work well. As fat as how much that also depends on your baseline. For example if You have lot of sun damage going to tret may offer some but the most helpful Maybe considering procedures and continue your retinol at home
Can i use retinoids over years ?
Like can i use it always... more than 6 months in a row every 2days a week?
I have hyperpigmentation and acne also...
Please answer ❤
You can use it forever but if you are a women and are trying to get pregnant. You should stop and consult a doc on what you can use

Thank you for this video! In future videos I would try to avoid so so many cuts. It makes the speech weird, and I get nausea watching every sentence being cut off.
I love your routines videos that don't have so many jump cuts. Thank you.
I actually like how these videos are edited. The cuts keep them moving and interesting.
Using anything less than prescription grade vitamin a topically is pointless really, people are wasting money on something subpar, go with something that is proven to actually work that actually deliver results instead of toying around.
My family and I have been using them for 40 years yet now all these millennials are just finding out about it and now all these Dermatologist are trying to bank off it 🤦🏽😂
