@@phanicatthecrybabyneighbur4028 i wait 20 mins. my routine is a little more fancy with more hydrating toners but i use those first, then a light moisturiser. especially with tretinoin you don't want your face to be wet as it can increase irritation

Not really other dermatologists recommend pea size amount as well and it is recommended not to apply near your mouth as skin over that area is more sensitive and can get irritated easily.
In one of his old videos he said if you don't get any itching or reaction from applying it around your eyes it's okay to do it, he said he doesn't do it because his skin gets sensitive.
I don't have much if any sensitivity from retinoids and am actually getting ready to start tretinoin but get something specifically for the eyes with retinoids in a low dose/ slow release and maybe work up to it. I'm planning on keeping my otc retinaldehyde and using it around my eyes and maybe on my neck and just using the tretinoin on my face
when you realize you haven't been using a large enough pea for 2 years. 🤦♀️ 😂 I remember picking peas with my grandmother in the garden. There are big peas and small peas. I've been using apparently WAY too small of a pea lol
That’s the sandwich method that’s recommended for those who are just starting on a retinoid or find it irritates their skin when applied before moisturiser.
I put Retinol to my eye lids and around my eyes . I use Advanced Clinicals Retinol ,it's Retinol for body but I also use it all over face including eyelids and around eyes .
How should men with a beard treat the skin under the beard? Is there a way to do it? Or would it just be wasting product since the beard will absorb most of it? Thank you!
You won't be wasting product since your beard will benefit from the skin moisturizer as well, apply your moisturizer right after you wash your face, make sure you are massaging the moisturizer through your beard, if you are acne prone use a beard conditioner after, if you have normal to dry skin beard oil will keep your beard looking healthy, smelling nice and also will help with the dry patches on your skin, oh and grooming at least once a week will give you a more luscious beard, trust and believe, I've done this for the past 10 years and have gotten many compliments from lots of barbers and random strangers! Hope this helps, have a good one!
@@gwill808 You are right, sorry kinda missed the mark, I apply retinol everywhere but the beard area, just like he did, then I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid in the entire face/neck and that keeps the skin under the beard nice and plumped.
I was told by my derm that retinol thickens the skin and that I don’t need to keep it away from my undereyes (as long as I avoid getting it in my actual eye).
It causes cell turnover, your e under eyes would puff, also it causes hair to stop growing, so keep away from bows and all your hairs unless you want the hair to not grow back.
With retinol it probably so, but other retinoids shouldn’t be applied to undereye because it’s toxic to the tearbags , that keep our eyes hydrated. Damaging this thing ain’t reversible. The second thing is our skin around eyes and mouth is very thin and sensitive, so most retinoids will be overkill here and will cause more harm than good. I remember I touched my eyelid, which already had some eye cream on it, with my finger I smashed my tret on skin; it gets so irritated and almost like burn, it took me 3-4 months to fully recover and stop itching
His face looks flawless and smooth. He definitely got into the right profession. I wish my skin was like this. I use a cleanser, toner, serum, and retinol. It hasn't been long enough for me to notice a difference. Hopefully soon those changes start happening.
That's a myth created by Paula Begoun. Most regular moisturizers are too strong, too heavily scented, and too harsh for the delicate under eye area. Some people can get away with it, but most of us can't and will get watery, irritated eyes from doing that.
How long did it take for you to notice improved texture with that routine? I want to start, but my skin is sensitive, and I can only do it once a week, but I'm not sure how long it would take if I did that.
@@apollofateh324everyone is different but if your starting retinol don't expect results quickly. This is something you slowly work into your regiment. You may even go through a "purging" phase but don't give up on it! You'll see long term results, especially after the first year. Be consistent and patient and go low and slow, working up your tolerance to it.
@apollofateh324 I have sensitive skin as well. Started with .05 strength for three months, then was able to switch to .1. Started every 2nd or 3rd day both when initially starting and when increasing in strength. Sometimes applied over moisturizers. You will know (feel) when you're not tolerating it well, in which case take a day or two off or apply over moisturizers. 6 months into it and results are incredible. Not sure if your question should e "how long" with once a week application as opposed to are you EVER going to get accustomed to it.
For anyone who uses tretinoin, what do you think is more effective? Using a moisturizer before or after the tretinoin? And how long do you usually wait in between? Thanks! 💕
i use before and after. my routine is: cleanse, hydrating toners, light gel moisturiser, wait 20 mins, tretinoin, wait 10 mins, thick moisturiser, and an oil sometimes. i do it to help reduce irritation and peeling
I use moisturizer before Tretinoin. I wait for about 30 minutes then apply the Tretinoin. But, Tretinoin can be very irritating for some people, so you can use moisturizer before and after. It’s not going to lessen the effects of the Tretinoin at all. It’s up to you, and how your skin reacts to the prescription cream
I use Murad youth renewal ret serum around my eyes and moisturize the same as my face before and after else they’ll be a charred wreck fast. Neutrogena water gel works well as a before, but let it dry in, ret on damp skin seems to just burn overnight every time. La Roche Posay AP+M after or Cerave, after (Cerave is heavier, so if needed…)
after applying retinol, should i really wait atleast 20mins before applying my moisturizer?? I saw some articles and thought i must be doing it wrong all these times. I apply my moisturizer a minute after my retinol
Yeah but you might want a thicker moisturizer for the face and a less fatty cream for the eyes. My moisturizer isn’t bad around the eyes, but it makes them too greasy.
I use La Roche Posay Lipikar Ap, great for sensitive skin and very moisturizing. You can use it for eyes, face and body. More affordable than other eye creams
You can. You might want to apply an eye cream or moisturizer first because it is much more potent than retinol. You want the benefits from Tretinoin, but because the skin around the eyes is really thin, you don't want to dry it out either. Not everyone tolerates retinoids the same. Some might just be too irritated by it, while other have very little problem. It's personal preference, you won't know until you try.
you have to be super careful around ur eyes. Putting a bit of vaseline on corners of mouth @ eyes..is what dermatologists suggesr, B4 applying Retinol near eyes or mouth.
Some people's skin can handle applying while damp and you get the best benefits this way if you're one of those people. Def not recommended for those with sensitive skin. I too, felt the burn 🔥 🥲
@Doctorly I wish you would express the importance of washing your hands before washing your face. Nurse here, sooo many bacteria on our hands that aren't washed away by just using face wash on our faces. Thanks! Great content!💗😘🥰
Dr. Dray said to avoid this method, as it results in patchy application of retinol. Instead, she said you could use moisturizer first and then retinol over it :)
Dont mix things. Thats not the point of products. Thinking y’all are able to make your own concoction is the worst mistake someone can make with skincare
I am 16 so I will not be using retinol but planning on using it when I'm about 26 as I don't mind wrinkling but I do want to age gracefully so this is a nice video on how to use retinol.
hi! esthetician student here :) using retinol at your age isn’t a bad idea. it’s great for promoting cell turnover. i’ve used it while having acne and in my experience it’s helped with that a lot! it’s also just great to use as a preventative measure for aging. the sooner you use retinol the better. but be sure to start off using it once a week then slowly using it more as your skin gets used to it.
Is it normal that I still breakout and purge with retinol even though I've been using it for almost 2 mos. with I believe the most gentle way as possible? (I'm using the ordinary 0.02 percent in squalene for like twice a week for almost 6 weeks and now just been using it once a week and I usually use it by three drops and mixed it with my moisturizer. I ALSO MAKE SURE TO PUT SUNSCREEN EVERYDAY.) Please send answers lol because I'm about to give up in using retinol as I feel like my skin got more hyperpigmentations than before🤧🤧
It's annoying, but normal. It stopped for me after about 3 months, once I upped to using the same retinol that you are using every other day. Also, I'd suggest using the retinol by itself, wait a few minutes, then add a rich moisturizer, (one without exfoliating acids) separately.
@@lisab.3091 I can't really wait for it to set since it's made of squalene so the oil wouldn't really set and so I just add moisturizer. I'm using the madecassosside one from apieu, and my skin didn't really became dry after it as the formula is squalene. But overall thanks for giving suggestion stay safe and God bless!💗💗
I use rx tretinoin, but it doesn’t spread over the skin well. I feel like I’m missing spots. Is there another way to use it/mix it with something to make it smooth out better?
Many dermatologists say it’s ok to mix tretinoin with a bit of gentle moisturizer. This would help it spread more easily. Or, it wouldn’t hurt to spread a thin layer of face moisturizer on your face before applying tretinoin. There haven’t been enough studies showing one routine is better than the other. That’s why dermatologists differ in their instructions. Do what works best for you.
I’ve seen conflicting opinions about eye creams. Some opinions I’ve seen say that it’s just a marketing ploy to get us to buy more products. They said that your facial moisturizer should serve you just as well without spending extra on a specific eye cream. I’m not real sure myself. Currently, I have a separate eye cream but I’m not sure I’ll buy another one unless I see something convincing me. I do however like to use something with caffeine in it for my eyes. Who knows 🤷🏻♀️
True! I mix a smidgen of Tretinoin with Cerave PM lotion for my “eye cream” and it works like a charm. Dr. Davin Lim suggests doing the same because he thinks eye creams are a waste of money.
How do you moisturize after this ??? I don’t want to do anything else after putting on retinol I always look like a freshly buttered bread roll when I use my retinol lol
@@wanderingdoc5075 there is No optimal strategy. If you have more sensitive skin, then often they say use a moisturiser before applying retinol. It could be more affective to use retinol first, but not if you get irritated skin.
@@iman434 I've actually just returned from my derm appt. Doing moisturizer before applying retinoid reduces the effectiveness of the retinoid. So she said if you tolerate the retinoid (I've never had issues applying it daily), then don't moisturize before, only after.

It's annoying, but normal. It stopped for me after about 3 months, once I upped to using the same retinol that you are using every other day. Also, I'd suggest using the retinol by itself, wait a few minutes, then add a rich moisturizer, (one without exfoliating acids) separately.
@@lisab.3091 so i should wait the retinoid to become dry before i put moisturizer?
@@lisab.3091 I can't really wait for it to set since it's made of squalene so the oil wouldn't really set and so I just add moisturizer. I'm using the madecassosside one from apieu, and my skin didn't really became dry after it as the formula is squalene. But overall thanks for giving suggestion stay safe and God bless!💗💗

I was so surprised too by the music choice
Prolly the best most gorgeous skin ever on a guy!
I do that CeraVe retinol. Its been more than a month. Zero change. Does it even do anything? I can apply it every day and i dont feel anything
I use rx tretinoin, but it doesn’t spread over the skin well. I feel like I’m missing spots. Is there another way to use it/mix it with something to make it smooth out better?
Gotta put a pea sized amount on your index finger, then put little dots of it on your face, and spread it around. He does it in the video.
Many dermatologists say it’s ok to mix tretinoin with a bit of gentle moisturizer. This would help it spread more easily. Or, it wouldn’t hurt to spread a thin layer of face moisturizer on your face before applying tretinoin. There haven’t been enough studies showing one routine is better than the other. That’s why dermatologists differ in their instructions. Do what works best for you.
I need to remember to use my eye cream before my retinol.
I need to get an eye cream.
I’ve seen conflicting opinions about eye creams. Some opinions I’ve seen say that it’s just a marketing ploy to get us to buy more products. They said that your facial moisturizer should serve you just as well without spending extra on a specific eye cream. I’m not real sure myself. Currently, I have a separate eye cream but I’m not sure I’ll buy another one unless I see something convincing me. I do however like to use something with caffeine in it for my eyes. Who knows 🤷🏻♀️
Why he applies the eye cream before the retinol?
I use it under my eyes . Works fine when you are not that sensitive
True! I mix a smidgen of Tretinoin with Cerave PM lotion for my “eye cream” and it works like a charm. Dr. Davin Lim suggests doing the same because he thinks eye creams are a waste of money.
I have no problem either with retinol under eyes and even eyelids..I lightly moisturise with cerave afterwards..been doing it for years
Thank you for sharing this! I have hyperpigmentation right around my eyes and was wondering if I can apply prescription retinoid cream there😅
So I have been using retinal for several years. Am I not supposed to put it under my eyes? I don’t have irritation.
How about essence, serum ? Should we skip?
Im going to go buy all those products for my son. He has a beautiful beard too❤
How do you moisturize after this ??? I don’t want to do anything else after putting on retinol I always look like a freshly buttered bread roll when I use my retinol lol
Dr Dray recommendeds to moisturize BEFORE, then apply retinol on dry skin, and go to bed. Not sure who has the more optimal strategy
@@wanderingdoc5075 there is No optimal strategy. If you have more sensitive skin, then often they say use a moisturiser before applying retinol. It could be more affective to use retinol first, but not if you get irritated skin.
@@iman434 I've actually just returned from my derm appt. Doing moisturizer before applying retinoid reduces the effectiveness of the retinoid. So she said if you tolerate the retinoid (I've never had issues applying it daily), then don't moisturize before, only after.
@@wanderingdoc5075 yes
I dont apply anything before or after my retinol
I wake up to beautiful skin.
@@wanderingdoc5075 im sorry, i was wondering. Do you wait for the retinoid to dry completly before moisturizing?
Beautiful man 🧔🏻💖
Are you not supposed to wash the face with luke warm water after using cleanser? Is water not a natural part of skin-care?
Warm water before cleansing to ooen pores and cold water to wash off and close the pores
Thank you! I love videos showing how to use it! The directions are so unhelpful!
