All of you ladies in your 20s & 30s need to rejoice in your youth. When you get into your 50s you look back at pictures of yourself in your 20s and 30s and can't believe how good you looked. So just be happy with yourselves and appreciate what you have while you have it! And yes Retin A helps a lot!
We in our 50s rejoice too! I am learning to appreciate my looks and health without comparing myself to others or to my youth.
I went massively downhill after 50. I am invisible in life- which is a good thing. I avoid mirrors and accept the ugliness that comes with aging. Plastic surgery can't really fix 50 year old women either. Save your money.
@@nisbit3883 gosh reading this really makes me feel sad! 😪
@@nisbit3883 I know how you feel. I will be 50 this year. I do wnat to start the retin A, I wish I had started it sooner, though.
@@victorias8592 I know, right
All skincare videos should be like this. With close ups, details and different lighting conditions.
Thank you so much! 💗
Well i do not see markeable differences. I really need to look very close and pay extreme attention. And at 4th and 9th month, the skin is in moisture, and not on the first photo.
@@leylish8814 Hi. I didnt mean it that way. What I meant was that the quality of videos, the close ups, the lighting, is very different from other videos you find in youtube. You can really see the texture and condition of the skin.
@@thedarknightme I totally agree!!👍

I love comments like yours 😁😁😁
Thank you

I'm using retin-A at age 35 for aging. No spots or acne. I want to see a wrinkle video
Girl your eyes. And I’m not just talking about your eye color. Just the shape of them and your eyebrows, with your nose! You are so pretty!
Oh gosh, you are so nice. Thank you so so so much 💗💗💗
Gorg!!!
I totally agree. Gorgeous
Yerp. Those wyite characteristics/looks.
AGREEEE!!!! 😭
Been using prescription retinol, tretinoin since it first available 1980’s I am now in my 60’s. Every time I see my Dermatologist and she has a student she always points out how you can tell when someone has been using the product for some time. That’s the high cheek and some of the eye area and of course the forehead. Don’t give up ladies and stop buying products that are expensive just because of the brand, your better off with the real deal it lasts a long time so the price is justified
Amen, Heather! I love hearing stories like this! 👏🙌💗
Hi Heather, I am sorry if thats a little intimate to ask. Feel free to answer or not ;) my question is, if you've had children and did you manage with retinol use during pregnancy and after? Because I'm 25 and been using prescription retinol for now 7 months and feel a little anxious when considering pregnancy plus use of retinol (bad side effects of foetus apparently). Thank you so much for your review :)
@@fabiola5591 I would of course ask your Dr. and see what is said. You know it’s been so long ago since I was pregnant I don’t remember. But back then I was on a low dosage since I was starting that I don’t remember my Dr. saying anything, don’t remember if I told him. Not much help but I do have advice to help you through the red peeling part if you need that help. Good luck!
Did the doctor mean it in a good way "you can see the improvement" or "you can see the skin has been damaged"!?!? 😭
@@tehreemraza123 I have the same question ❓⁉️
I love how you informed your audience about the different lighting you used when showing your skin conditions because it is important to know that sometimes lighting does matter how people looked at skin texture and can make a good decisions for themselves, whether to use retinoids to treat their skin conditions or not.
Thank you so much for this comment!
I am 44 and have been using tretinoin for 6 years now and everyone says how I look so young . I have young genes in my family though but the tretinoin has helped me to not have any fine lines and wrinkles. I get compliments on my skin all the time. I’m going to upload a video on my channel of my before and after
Update: I’m 46 now and still look younger than my age. Still using tretinoin.
Love hearing this! 💗
Is this tretinoin only available through prescription or are there over the counter brands online ?
Can I use around eyes?
@@anap1840 It’s prescription only. You can get it pretty easily from Curology, though.
@@bkggera I don’t use mine too close to the under eye area but I’ve seen people who do it. If you do, I would suggest mixing it with moisturizer in case it dries that area out and causes a worse effect.
My Cousin Chris has a identical twin brother named Jeff. Chris, has always taken care of his skin and faithfully uses Tretinoin on his face, neck and chest and has since he was in his late 20's but his brother Jeff is the complete opposite and just uses whatever or sometimes just nothing at all.
They are both now 48yrs and when I saw them standing side by side I was completely blown away! Even in the pictures we took, you could clearly see which brother took care of their skin. It looked as if Chris was standing next to his "older" brother and not his own twin!...
my name jeff
@@randomcommenter420😂😂😂😂
They should get published in a journal! Experiment of life
Do you have pics of them or like an insta? Really curious to see what they look like next to each other.
@@rinreaco he doesn't because it's bs
Omg your skin is FLAWLESS at 9 months. Goals
Thank you so much for this nice compliment!
Ffs thank goodness for an actual, realistic video of results. I'm about to start tret at 30 for anti-aging and video searching has been abysmal. You look incredible and you're glowing. Bless you! You deserve the amazing skin you have 💕
Hey how do you get tretin… whatever.!?
Do you get it prescribe to you?
@@LORITOTH29 yes prescription only from a doctor or dermatologist.
Dr 👏shereen 👏 idriss 👏 aaaaand you’re welcome 😉
Your skin looks great after nine months. It takes time for skin to purge itself. I had cystic acne and no RetinA in those days. No Accutane either. Thank goodness we DID have dermatologists though! That Dr saved my life! I would have had miserable skin otherwise. And now, at 68 we do have those other things and I use them! Don't age "gracefully!" Fight it every step of the way! No sense looking older than you have to!! Take care of your body! You've only got one body and this is it! Be grateful for what you have and take GOOD care of it. Take vitamins, exercise, keep your weight under control, pay attention to things your body tells you, dress yourself in clean clothes, keep your nails trimmed and clean, brush your teeth & hair, & MAKE YOUR BED EVERY MORNING! Sounds crazy, I know, but it's the most important thing you'll do all day. Then say your prayers and get going!🤗💖🥰
Making bed and thinking I'll be back in it later
This is the most inspiring comment
Thank you so much. This comment is very inspiring!! 🎉❤
My whole family was in the room when I was watching this. When it got to the 9 month mark, everyone said "wow". Literally just radiating!
Haha oh my gosh this sounds just like something my family would do together 😂 Thank you so much for this lovely comment! 💗
I'm 70 & have been using RetinA since 1996. No joke, I'm often mistaken for someone decades younger, even by new physicians. Just remember to also treat your neck and decolletage
You are so courageous for posting the most unflattering light condition for your skin but you are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this very detailed before and after. It's also great that you shared your age so we'd know what to compare it to. Every before and after should be this detailed. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for all of the nice compliments. I really appreciate it 🥰💗
And this is how to do a review!! So real. Loved this so much. Well done!
Thank you so much, Aderonke Oni! 💗
I didnt think your skin could get much better than what it already was. I thought your skin was pretty decent before, but now you have skin of a babe! 😍
Thanks so much, Tiffany! I am so happy with it! 💗
Yay! It's looking so great! I started Retin-A around the same time as you and was following your journey a little bit. I remember the skin getting a lot worse before getting better & finally you and me both are on the upswing now :)
Yahoo. Love hearing this. Thanks, Nia 💗

Retin-A is it a drugs or cream?! Answer me please
@@skincarewithdrayah6973 both
Your skin is literally glowing, I'm lowkey jealous 😍
Thanks so much, Zuzana! 💗
I passed the purging period after 2 month using retinol but my serum is taking too long to empty that i just ditch it for stronger retinol. Now i’m using 0.5% retinol and my skin is really smooth. Glass skin is real guys!
What % did you start with? And how often did you apply? Your results sound great I want to start too! Also are you thinking of starting retin A?
You have beautiful skin girl! I'm jealous 😫 I have acne scars from 30+ years of neglect. Benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin have fixed my skin issues. Really wish I would have started in my early 20's
Hello.. Hope you are good. I want to ask whether tretinoin work for mild acne scars, as I am 27 and wanting to start tretinoin journey. Sorry for bad english as this isn't my first language. Please reply
I'm 35 and people at work think I'm between 21 - 25. They are shocked when I tell them my age. I've even been ask out by a 19 year old. I told him I'm married and have children. He was shocked. My siblings even notice a difference. Love this stuff.
Dani I love hearing this! Haha I bet the 19 year olds face was hilarious when you told him 😂💗
Till how many months I shld use it.. And how to use it I mean my fce is becameing red n it peeling so how to use it
Omg watching this just made the process of aging seem sooo much less scary thank you so much 😭😭😭 I’m 24 anx we have super similar skin texture. You are beautiful ❤️
Your skin looks amazing! And I definitely see big improvements on skin texture, hyperpigmentation, etc. I'll be 28 in December and also thinking of starting tretinoin as preventive. Your video gave me the push :)
Thank you so much for the nice comments! Tretinoin is seriously a miracle drug. You won’t regret it!
Hey does it tighten skin also?
This is definitely the most useful video on tret progression I've found! Thanks so much for uploading it.
Thank you so much, Tisque!!! 💗
Amazing results! Love how detailed the videos are and that you really show what your skin looks like. It helps me a lot with my tretinoin journey.
The pigmentation definitely got a lot better and your skin looks glowing and smooth.
Thank you SO much 🥰💗
You look like Elsa Pataky :-) very pretty. Thanks for the review.
Oh, yeah! She does! Watch out Chris Hemsworth!
Only prettier! And all natural
Very much so
Same thought
Omg yes, I thought it was her until I clicked in the video !
You're only 33. Why would anyone think you had work done!? 😂 My skin was beautiful at 33. So is yours😊 mine didn't really start changing much until about 37-38.
Lots of women my age get Botox. But mainly I just say it so that people will know my skin and history for my tretinoin videos. Consider yourself lucky if your skin didn’t start changing until 37-38. I feel like my first pregnancy aged my skin 5 years, lol.
im 38 and still not really any aging going on. Just some facial thinning. Skin still good.
Lots of people in their 20s have work done.
I have MS and Hashimotos and my skin has aged significantly over the past 5 years. I barely recognize my self. I am only 33.
Ur beautiful! Consider urself lucky haha
I think sun damage is the biggest factor in how fast we age, besides genetics of course. I just turned 40, and my skin still looks pretty good(haven't had any work done YET😁) I am very fair skinned, so I have to wear sunscreen or I burn. That's probably what has helped me the most.
I Sooooo appreciate your awareness of lighting conditions. As an artist, i am very aware how incredibly different lighting can make and before and after pictures with wildly different lighting conditions so often used by companies are so misleading and dishonest and annoy me to no end. Godo on ya!
Im 24 and people say i look 17. You need to try fasting my friends. Just fast. Your skin, your soul, your body will all improve. Just fast.
I absolutely LOVES the in-depth detail of this video! It’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for documenting your journey! You are absolutely beautiful at every stage of this journey and your skin is just glowing now!
My jaw dropped at how much your skin is radiating:O
Thank you so much 🥰💗
I adore your Honesty , so many people on you tube make videos on how long they’ve been using tretenoin , while their face muscles barely move due to Botox and other works , no honesty . I thank you very much for such beautiful informative honest video ❤️ ❤️ 🙏🏾.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment! 🥰
One of the best detailed videos on TH-cam about this!
It’s been 6 months for me can’t wait till the year mark. I’m very satisfied
YASSS!!!
Really good before & after comparisons. I love that you gave us examples of different lighting. Thank you.
First of all, sooo not fair that you still look so pretty with no makeup, under ugly lights , & with a rag on your head! Seriously. Thanks for all the video & photos through your journey with using Retin-A. Keep up the excellent work.
You are the sweetest. Thank you so much 💗💗💗
Hey 👋 so I'm in week 4 to 5 of my Tretinoin and I'm loving it! I had minimal irritation in the first week just around my nose and mouth and that has cleared up now, and I'm able to use it under my eyes too. Incase you or anyone els is interested heres my routine:
MORNING:
Cleanse with a Micella water.
Apply my Vitamin C Serum.
Hyaluronic Acid.
Apply my black rice eyecream.
Moisturiser.
Rosehip oil.
Sun cream broad spectrum plus blue light protection factor 50.
NIGHT:
Double cleans- Oil/Balm then Micella.
Tretinoin (leaving it on my skin for 1 hour before I carry on my routine).
Vitamin C Serum (a little stronger than in the morning).
Same eye cream.
Retinol & Lactic Acid sleep Serum.
Night cream.
Carrot 🥕 oil.
Hope it help anyone looking to tweak their routine or just interested in other people face care! XXX
how long do you wait for the skin to absorb product before applying the next one?
Oh no don’t use vitamin c serum in the evening together with the tret!
@@romeomontague3722 yes.. U shouldnt use both together
PLEASE DO NOT use Vitamin C with Retinol!!!! Stop doing it, they cancel each other out.
I prefer using Vit-C Serum in the morning
Wow! I'm in love with your skin! Can't believe you're 33 and have kids. Incredible! In love with your high cheekbones as well, you look like a model.
Thank you so much for all of these nice compliments 🥰💗💗💗
Early twenties, my face would always have acnes. Around mid 20s, I started using retinoin until today (late twenties)
Since then, I never had acne or pimples for more than two at the same time. Pre-retinoin, i always wake up having big pimples. Like everyday new pimple/s would pop up.
Now I’ve only got one or two pimples in the past one year. And now, I only have one pimple since pandemic started. Start retinoin now, you wont regret it. I promise.
Thanks so much for this comment, Angel! It is truly a miracle drug! 💗
Hi ! I’m in my early twenties ! What products do you use?
@@miriamdanielle8727 I Started using tretinoin (gel) in low dose at night only. In the morning, I used Salicylic acid when I had active pimple. Then when it got dried, I started using Vitamin C serum in the morning and always always sunblock (gel type) then niacinamide serum at night. Vitamin C and niacinamide serum helped me to lighten my dark spots that time when my pimples got dried.
@@angelm8780 how are you liking your results? Do you think you can lend me the product names you use? That is my biggest issue :( I can’t just use any product cause I’m nervous of skin irritation.
What a DETAILED video. Great job and thank you so much for all the information!!!
Thank you so much, Cee Vees! 💗💗💗
Skin, eyes and eyebrows looking absolutely gorgeous!!😍 Hoping to have my skin looking like your 9 month mark one day!
Of all the things you were trying to address (wrinkles, acne, and pigmentation), the anti-aging effect is the most impressive.
I’m scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist this coming week. I’m so excited to start my Tretinoin journey. I’m 35 and I have always had combination skin, as well as hyperpigmentation and SO many acne breakouts through my life. I’m so happy that this treatment has worked so well for you! I pray it does the same for me over the course of my life. May I ask what brand of spf you use for your face before you go out? Thank you!
Did you ever get started on this? Any sides?
If you’re still looking for an spf I use the EltaMD UV Pure Broad-Spectrum SPF 47 after much research. Its noncomedogenic and works great on my tret skin face and body. However it is very white and may not work for you if you have darker skin tone than mine (white as paper 😂).
Thank you so much for the REAL close up in your skin. I really appreciated that.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for the nice comment 💗
I have a strong feeling you have a good diet alongside your skincare routine.
Hey Lynx O! My diet is really nothing spectacular (I don’t eat a lot of sweets though, which helps). I also do not eat meat very often :)
I can only pray for the courage to be able to look at myself that close up 🙏 without crying 😢
your skin looks amaaaaaazing and you’re gorgeous! 💜 question: is it true that i have to not use my phone once i’ve applied retin a? i’ve heard that the light from the phone can break it down or something!?
Hey Em! Thank you so much! So, it is true that light deactivates tretinoin - but mostly in terms of daylight. The light you are getting from the lights in your house and on your phone should be okay. I mean I’m sure it’s probably best to just put on the tretinoin and go to bed (but I stare at my phone for over an hour after I put it on each night).
Good job. Retin A is a great product for acne and discoloration. Also, if you include Hydroquinone and lactic acid at night in your regimen you would get rid of the darker patches and smooth out any rough texture.
Miss, thank you so much for this incredibly detailed video! Best one I have seen so far. I have Retina that was prescribed to me sitting in my drawer because I’ve been too scared to use it. I’m going to use it on a small area on my face just once a week to see how I react. My skin is extremely sensitive, which is why I have been hesitant. I was on acutane a few years back, but since then my acne has come back. Hoping this helps! 🙌🏼
Ahhhh I’ve never been this early!!! Your so pretty and your skin looks amazing! I just started my tretinoin journey and I loved binge watching your videos it gives me so much hope!!!💕
Thank you so much, Iman!!!
Thank you so much, your videos fantastic, and your honestly refreshing. I started Tretinoin 3 weeks ago and Im in for the long haul, as I should be ☺️♥️
Thank you for keeping us updated. Is there be a way you can put only a before/after Pic to see difference. I’m starting my journey soon. Thank you in advance 😄
Yes! I will do a combo photo of before and after next time for sure! 💗
I love how you put your skincare in your description below! It really is awesome!
Thanks Alan! 💗😃
Awesome results! Do you use it under/ around your eyes? I see mixed feelings about it from different people
Thanks, Monica! I do use it directly under my eyes and on my brow bone, but not directly on my upper lids. An hour after I put it on, I use Josie Maran argan oil on top of it for my under eye area. I just buy the travel size bc all it takes is 1 drop for both under eyes. Otherwise it can have too much of a drying effect under your eyes. And also tretinoin travels, so as long as you can get it near an area you want to correct, it should help to some extent :)
@@jennarubis1 thank you so much for explaining! I truly appreciate it! I’m going to try that! 💕
New subscriber here. Thank you for making this video! It's very informative and you seem like a genuine person. Hope your channel blows up in 2021. :) :)
Thank you so much, Mary! I appreciate the nice comments 💗
Even in the least flattering lighting you’re stunning! Thank you for this in depth video!
I'm so happy this video came up! First off you're beautiful. I have been on this tretinoin journey 3 months in and now have more acne than ever but I feel like it's just the purging process. We will 👀
Thanks so much, Naima. The purge is totally worth it. Beautiful skin is just on the other side. I am excited for you!!!
Did it get better?
how did it go??
Your skin is so smooth, plump and creamy. Just beautiful.
Wow excellent results! You have beautiful bone structure and features! Do you use it on your lids and neck?
Thanks so much Ely! I use it right under my brow bone and yes I also use it on my neck (but I can’t do that every time because it’s too sensitive there).
I think your skin through the whole 9 months was very smooth anyway with just a few pimples popping up here and there. I didnt see any pigmentation decrease or increase really. Your face glowed so im putting that down to moisturiser and the light. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Amazing results! Thank you for sharing! I’m on month 2 and loving the results so far. Do you apply on your eyelids as well?
Thank you so much! So I DO apply it directly below my eyes and just below my brow bone (but NOT directly on my lids). Thanks so much for your comments 💗
@@jennarubis1 Ok! Thanks so much for replying and putting out such great content. I love see the different lighting and stages and find your channel refreshingly transparent.🎉♥️
🥰💗
Thank your for documenting this for us who don’t know what to expect.
Your skin looks great!! At what point did your purge start/stop? I am on month 2 of tret 0.025% and have experienced a few breakouts but not sure if it was purging or not. I’m using every 3 days.
Hey Michelle. Thank you so much! I did not begin the actual purge until week 13 (3 month mark) and mine lasted all the way from month 3 to month 6. I too had a few pimples here and there...I noticed small bumps under my skin, and they eventually started to come out at that 3 month mark :)
I’m about to turn 25 and I just started using retin-A about a month ago
May I ask, did you use tret around your eyes? From what I can see, the biggest difference is around your eyes. In the before videos there's a little fold in the corner of your left eye (right on the screen) that appears to have gone completely. Impressive results. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much, Marija! I use it directly below my eyes and on my brow bone (not directly on my lids though). So the short answer is YES I use it around my eyes :)
@@jennarubis1 Thank you. Great results.
Your skin looks amazing. Do you put it under your eyes ?
Thank you Julie! I do use it on my under eyes but am careful not to get too close to my actual eye as tretinoin spreads out across the skin a bit further than where it is applied.
Watching this from the perspective of a 49 year old woman, I can’t really see any difference between the before and after shots...essentially flawless before and flawless after. Maybe as we age we stop scrutinising things on a microscopic level and focus more on the obvious issues? These images just show degrees of perfection and an odd pimple...no lines etc. to erase or sagging to lift. I get the prophylactic use, but seriously there was nothing to improve.
There’s a huge difference.
@@HaitianBlackGinger11 one that would require a magnifying glass to see.
There’s such a big difference in texture and skin pigmentation. Makeup goes on better when skin is improved - heck even skip the makeup lol
@@Jade_902 Well maybe I need new glasses. Guess I want to see evidence that it removes lines and firms the skin, but it can’t remove what isn’t there to begin with. Perhaps I should have watched a video of an older persons retinol trial.
@@orchid7580 FiftyPlus Beauty and AngieHot&Flashy have some good videos too. And I’m not sure on what type of device or TV you are viewing TH-cam videos. But my iPhone vs TV there is a big difference:)
Tretinoin and retino a, this is same product or not please tell this??? And which is best...?
Yes they are the same :)
You look great Jenna!
I am your age and starting to take care of my self more after years of neglecting my face with sun damage.
Thanks so much Saralee! Glad you are getting started - I was definitely a sun worshipper in my life. I’m excited for you 💗
Your skin looks amazing!! Do you use the tretinoin on your eye lids and under your eyes?
Thanks Katie! I use it under my eyes and on my brow bone, but not directly on my upper lids :)
Your skin looks flawless. I have been a retinA user(0.1%) for 30 years now. And will never quit using it. My dermatologist can believe how great and healthy my skin looks. My advice to you?. Never quit your retinA. 👍👍
Thanks for this comment and compliment, Gloria! 💗
This is exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciate the video. Good work.
Dont know how I found this video, but glad I did. I’m 45, I have a routine from The Ordinary, I use Gua Shu, and micro needle at home. I have acne scars, even though I never had much acne, the surface is looking rough and pores are large. Is this a recommended action for me ? Do you need to see a derm to get the products? Thanks! Very inspiring!
Hey Ann! I would imagine tretinoin could certainly help your cause. If you reside in the US, it is prescription. You do not need to schedule with a derm specifically though - you can get it through your general practitioner or whoever your regular physician is :) A more immediate result, but more expensive, would be considering a laser treatment. Specially a CO2 laser. If you go this route, you would do the laser prior to starting your tretinoin treatment :) You would likely wait 8 weeks post laser treatment before starting tretinoin.
What moisturizer and sunscreen do you recommend??
omg wait!!! how did u improve the puffy redness on your eyes? is it dermatitis? i have something just like that on my eye and i always clear it but it comes back and it’s a whole cycle!!
So I think the puffy redness was probably just some irritation from the tretinoin? In general my eyelids can sometimes be a little red. It’s not dermatitis, but I know dermatitis on the eyelids is very common. I had dermatitis during my first pregnancy (under my nose and around my mouth) and it seemed to flare up very easily. Make sure you are only using products for sensitive skin, and I would definitely avoid that area with the tretinoin.
I love how u replied each &every one,.
💛💛🇧🇩❤️
I'm 20 y/o.i'v Dry skin so what should i have to use?
Retinol / tretionon??
I did't found anywhere so i can get proper using of retinol / tretinoin,.
❤️from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
Your skin s amazing and you are so pretty!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Thank you so much, m! 💗
Do u have hormonal imbalance? Since u said you have cystic acne on your chin area. Also is the purpose you are using tretinoin for pimples or anti ageing? Thanks! Also nice review!!!
Hey Kar! Yes the type of acne I get is hormonal acne and I went on tretinoin for both acne and anti aging :) Thank you for the comment!
@@jennarubis1 if I stop using it would the pimple come back? And have you not have any hormonal (cystic acne) after the purging? Also is your cystic acne because of dairy/sugar/gluten? and if so, did u change your diet after using tretinoin? Sorry for the many questions 😅
This video is really useful thank you! I started end of July so I’m coming up 5 months and literally still covered in endless spots still so this gives me hope! I use the strongest one too and have done every single night. I have zero reaction to it, no redness, tightness or flaky.... the spots just still keep coming! I will keep going forever though as I believe it will work xx
Hey Faye! Yes I always tell people now at this point to give it a full year! Also just want to make sure, are you getting yours from a credible source?
Thanks for replying! Yes it’s from my dermatologist in London based on Harley Street and it’s the Obagi brand, it’s well known here. Have a lovely Christmas, love following your videos xx
💗💗💗
Hello first time subscriber. QUESTION:
Do you use a sunscreen after moisturizer or is your SPF the moisturizer?
I have sensitive oily skin and have found to break out using both . SFF alone doesn’t hydrate 💦 my skin only creates a “greasy” barrier . What are your recommendations?
Hey Merry Anne! I always apply it after my moisturizer. I would recommend trying the Suntique I’m Safe For Sensitive Skin SPF. This is not a greasy sunscreen and I think you will like it for your skin type.
@@jennarubis1 Great suggestion! Thank you so much 🙏❤️
I can't wait to get my tret, my skin is already very smooth, its just not radiant. I can't wait to see how much better it will get.
It is freaking amazing. You will love it!

I’ve been using Tretinoin since I was around your age, 32/33, and am sooooo glad I started when I did. I started using it for cystic acne and melasma a but at 55 I can tell you, it sure hasn’t hurt in the aging department. Lol
Yesss! Love hearing this! You look gorgeous in your photo :)
@@jennarubis1 Thank you! I wish I had known how beautiful I was at your age. I look back at images and want to slap myself. You are a stunning woman and will probably continue to be so as you age... don’t waste a moment questioning your perfection ~ just go out and live it. You’ll be mind blown at how fast 55 will come. It was only a blink ago I was 32 and it will only be a blink again until I’m 75. My Mom’s last sentence was “It goes by so fast.” She was right.
I have been using tretinoin for 40yrs, it was prescribed for acne, l am now 75, l have excellent skin, no wrinkles
@@raeperonneau4941 omg ur words here. so well put
I just turned 34 and I’m about to start soon. I am excited to really take care of my skin but myself.
Where to buy tretinoin from???? Vitamine A soft gels is it not good for eyes wrinkle????
What were your reasons on using Retin A and the Foreo ? Acne? Or aging? I have been at a standstill with my skincare routine for a few days. I had been using Exuviance, and my skin is so smooth from it, face is not completely dehydrated, a bit moisturized, but I could stand for it to be a little more. But honestly that is about the only thing that is noticeable. Here and there, I wanna say I can see results on my fine lines. Yesterday I realized that there are not ANY reviews lately on Exuviance. Reviews are from a year ago and three years ago. So I thought I might try Clarins double serum. But I can not imagine something with only natural ingredients making that much of an impact. Then I see your video. And I am interested in what it is for and what it is. The little tool thingy makes me think this could be a game changer. I dunno. I don’t know what a purge is. Lol. Guess I need to get researchin’ 🥸🥸
Hey Mandy! So I started tretinoin for hormonal acne that would pop up on my chin area, jaw line and occasionally on my cheeks in addition to skin rejuvenation from my years of sun damage and also preventative aging :) The Foreo Luna Mini 3 is a total game changer and I can’t imagine cleansing without it. It sluffs off all my dead skin but in a very gentle way and removes dirt, sweat and makeup like nothing else! Also, “purge” is a term that refers to the temporary worsening of skin (usually in the form of acne and/or peeling) when you introduce something into your skincare routine that turns your skin over at a faster rate (eg retinoids).
YES! I used to have hormonal acne on my jawline CONSTANTLY, and now I've been using retinol for a few months and I haven't had jawline acne in a couple months!
Did you purge.?
I have a dark spots on my face from previous acne, will it be helpful in clearing those spots?
Yes, it will. I've been using it for about a year now and the results have been slow, but pronounced.
Does it make our skin dry? Any moisturizer we need to apply??
9 months isn't long enough using tretinoin is, a life time requirement as a preventative ❤️
You are so right, Michelle! I will use it for life!!!
Can you still use hyauloric acid and niacimiade serums and moisturizer when using this cream? If so in which order to apply them please
her starting point for tretinoin treatment is where I hope I can end on it. Her worst purging is better than mine before starting. Must be nice. Hoping for the best, i'm on week 2 on 0.25%.
Thank you so much for such a detailed video/update. I just started tretinoin today at the lowest dose. I’m 30 and usually don’t have an issue w acne other than blackheads on my nose. These past couple months my skin has been angry and I have the most random breakouts so I’m dermatologist suggested I try this. How do you go about increasing the dosage and the reasoning behind it? Is that something I should look into as well after a certain period of time?
Your brow shape is everything !!!!
Thank you so much for such a nice compliment 🥰💗
you dont put it on your eyelids right? they also look improved! youre so beautiful already, wow! thanks for sharing:)
Your skin looks amazing! I noticed your eyelids looked younger as well, did you put it on them? Also your skin looked dewy, was that bc you used the cream version instead of the gel? I was told it drys the skin out so we should avoid the eye area. You should do a video of how much you used, how often and if you added anything like certain soaps and moisturizers. Thank you!
Haha I just saw you said you found the answers in your other comment. I will respond to your other one 💗
Do you think it´s better to wait after summer to start the treatment since you should be careful with the sun?
I notice a lot of improvement with the fine lines around your eyes! You look at amazing now! I’m 27 but am starting to get marionette lines after some weight loss - going to take to my doctor about starting Rentin-A because of your video!
How did your eye circles improve ? Not from tretinoin
Was the before pick from lack of sleep ?
That’s a good question. The tretinoin would not improve my circles. I usually have them, but sometimes I’m lucky and they look better than other times. Usually alcohol or salty food makes them look worse.
@@jennarubis1 they are Barely noticeable , I know tret does not improve them tho
What is a purge? I’ve been on tretinoen for over a year and this is the first time I’ve heard of this?
When you have a whole bunch of pimples show up all over your face
Did you not experience the purge ??
Hi Jenna. Did you get more sun/dark spots pop up before them fading? I started using Tretinoin and see a few more dark(beige) spots than what I started out with. I heard this does happen sometimes since Tretinoin is bringing up sun damage from below the skin to the surface. Is this true? I'm just looking for affirmation the spots will disappear over time. I wear 50SPF+ sunscreen every single day. I've been using Tretinoin 0.025% cream 1x/week for 1 month now. My skin is sensitive so I have to go slow.
