You’re too kind ❤️My favorite Disney princess 🥰
Lol yepp
Yepp
The hair is a dream
@SarahSaleen How should I shave my face while on tretion? Should I avoid a day or shave in the morning? What should I use before Shaving? Please let me know!
That skin is the most beautiful and glowing skin I've ever seen. I was thinking about giving up on Tretinoin, but this inspires me to not give up. My dermatologist recommended me to use it every night before bedtime. In the beginning, my skin was purging all the time, but now it's used to it. Been using it for 1 month.
Thank you so much 😭😻😻.. I couldn’t have don’t it without retinoids 🥰. But yes don’t give up! Your skin will get used to it and it’ll look soo good😊
BRO SHES THE PRETTIEST UNIQUE LOOKING FACE IVE SEEN IN A WHILEEEEE! LOVE THE HAIR AS WELL, ITS JUST LIKE MINE LOL BIG HAIR !
Hey how’s your skin doing now with tretinoin?
@@keshikhaashrinanthan5421 Much better. It just looks more clean than before and I noticed that some of my hyperpigmentation is gone. I'm going to keep on using tretinoin.
Tip: Don't put too much of it on the face, it'll cause more redness and irritation. I did that before, because I thought that it will make more faster progress, but it didn't. So just put pea-sized amount of tretinoin on the cheeks and forehead.
@@Zapatozi oh thank you so much
I’m about to start on tretinoin.
What percentage did you used?
And also the days that you didn’t apply tretinoin what did you apply?
26 years old and just started wearing sunscreen the last 1.5 years. And I’ve tried tretinion very aggressively to help my sun spots/pigmentation in the past, but I plan on beginning again much slowly in a few weeks. All these videos about tretinion are very helpful! Thank you
Thanks for watching! Yess try it slowly. It’ll definitely help! Good luck 💙
Came for the skincare, ended up falling in love with your hair lol but girrrllll you look like a Disney princess with that hair 😍🤗
I love that so much. Thank you 😻🥰
Pls do a video on ur hair. It’s so healthy and has a lot of volume.
Aww thank you love! Hair video is coming soon ❤️❤️
You are so beautiful!! Thank you so much for demonstrating your routine! You are just going to keep on glowing right into life ✨💛
Thank you so much 😭🥰🥰
Omg thank you so much for this!!! I just started tret 0.025% and I’ve been looking for someone to explain it in an easy and informative way. Thank you!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Gurllll I love your vids so much and you are drop dead gorgeous😩💖 I hope your channel blows up🙏🙏🙏
Thank you sooo much 🥺❤️. Yess I hope so
I love how you apply everything so gentle on your skin! I see many other videos that people rub their skin so hard😭
Yess! Thank you! Skin elasticity is a precious commodity, definitely don’t want It to deplete any faster 🤣❤️
She’s a dermatologist
Gosh you're pretty!! I love watching tret videos; it's helping get through the purge phase. 💚
Thank you darling 🥰 Goodluck with your tretinoin journey ❤️❤️
Hi Sarah! I’m 27 years old and I wish I had stuck with tretinoin in my early 20s. After working on my mental health I’ve decided to improve my hormonal acne. Thank you for your informative videos! They give me hope for having clearer skin ❤
Hi darling! I felt the same! I started tret not long before you. Goodluck love ❤️
Hey, did u buy after ur doctor prescribed? Planning to buy one. But everyone tells to get a prescription.
@@iloveme2398 yes I went to my primary care physician. I was prescribed 3 tretinoin creams. They’ve lasted me for months. Was affordable through my insurance.
@@kimbechong my curious ass thinking to start with 0.025 as my own slowly with different methods . Have acne issues skin is combo not sensitive.
man this girl is stunning
Princess Jasmine your skin is glowing ❤
Your method of applying the tretinoin is really helpful! I was just smearing it around like a moisturizer and my face peels so badly sometimes. Thank you!
Thank you so much love! I’m glad it was helpful ❤️❤️
The best think I ever put on my skin. Had acne since 5th grade and finally got rid of it IN MY 20’s when I finally was put on tretinoin
Me too! 🥰🥰
Wow what a natural beauty!
❤️🥰
You're so gorgeous, I couldn't stop looking at your glowing skin!
Thank you beautiful. You’re too kind 🥰
Can you do a video on when you've gone the other direction and your skin is angry, irritated and red and what to do to heal your skin before continuing tret? You are so knowledgeable and a great teacher!
I was on tretinoin for a while and my skin definitely went through the phase, it was basically sun burnt for months on end! I will definitely ask my derm about it again and try it 2 times a week instead of 3-4! I have never tried a cleansing balm before, that looks amazing!
You can even just use it once a week! And use it with moisturizer underneath. You can even put a another layer of moisturizer on top. You’ll really minimize irritation that way ❤️❤️ thank you for watching love!
you need to be really diligent about wearing and reapplying suncreen as tretinoin makes your skin more sensitive to sun exposure, also all the work tret does will be undone by sun without spf
Also don’t forget Tretinoin / Retin-A comes in .01%, .025% .05% and .1% that’s a 10 fold difference in strength. You might need to start out at .01% or .025% once a week then build up in frequency, dosage and how much you apply.
Can you use hyaluronic acid and vitamin c with retin a?
How many minutes before the last moisturizer?
Omg u look so prettyyyy🧡😻girl we want were Beauty secrets and a hair care
Aw thanks love!! I really want to do both those videos!! Getting back to making regular videos on Monday. I definitely have so much to say about both topics. ❤️❤️ thank you for watching ❤️❤️
You are gorgeous! I am using tretinoin at the moment for acne so I love to see how others are using it! Thank you - new subbie 😊
Yayy!! I’ll be doing my updated routine soon too ☺️
Id just like to talk about how natural her makeup is, LOVE
I’m actually not wearing any ❤️☺️

Thanks girl! 😻Microcurrent helps a lot though I’ll be honest ☺️🥰
This video is perfection xoxo
Thank you so much beautiful ❤️
Thank you for your tips on retin-a can you do a video on what to do the next day in the morning after using retin-a.
Yes great idea .. I’ll do a full day of skincare video actually. ❤️❤️
i couldn’t even focus on the video bc you’re so gorgeous
Ah thank you so much 🥹❤️
I like the tip about using Aquaphor on your lips before the Tretinoin because I have definitely irritated my lips from the Tretinoin before.
Mine are irritated now 😓 how long did it take yours to heal?
@@sing81 by the next day
@@lolamichelle oh wow! Ok, thank you! Blistex isn’t working at allll!! 😖
@@sing81 I just stick with simple Vaseline.
I just got a RX for this today…same percentage Thank you so much for this video
gonna try using tret for the first time tonight ::0. clear skin here i come
i have literally never seen such a beautiful person omg
🥺❤️🥰
I just found this video and I loved it❣️❣️
Right now I’m only using adapalene on dry skin and moisturizer after ! I started two months ago I’m waiting for the purging stage to stop so I can include more products to my skincare routine and I can’t wait
Yayy excited for you! I hope it passes soon ❤️
You’re such a beauty ❤
Thank you for this video!
As a indian I feel so proud and relatable since you are a southeastern girl and explain so much about skincare...love your videos
That means so much thank you! If there’s ever any specific videos you wanna see let me know ❤️
Oh yes definitely...but it is important that you keep uploading...
Love this! I restarted Tret yesterday. I’m using the Mylan gel. The only issue with the gel is the dotting method is way more challenging. It dries by the time I finish dotting. 😂
That’s right it does! I remember using the gel a while back it can be a bit tricky. But thank you so much. Goodluck on your skincare journey with tret 🥰❤️❤️
I love your skincare videos! I saw you use a celluma pro in a previous video… Can you please do a more in-depth review on the device? Or your thoughts on it? Pro and cons? When to use it or how often to use it? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! Yess!! I’m a little behind on requests 😅but I’ll get a review out for you really soon ❤️. I’ve been wanting to do an LED video actually!

Hi! I love love love your videos. I recently just started using tretinoin and I realized I was kind of doing it all wrong after watching your videos so Im going to wait a week and then start using it again. But I have some questions, my derm recommended me using dapsone during the day and tretinoin at night. But I'm kind of confused..am I suppose to Cleanse, Moisturize, and then use dapsone during the day and then recleanse, moisturize, for tretinoin at night? IM not really sure how to use both of these during the day. Or do I use dapsone on days im not using tretinoin? I really really hope you respond. Thank you so much for all these videos about tretinoin i've liked every single one of them haha.
Also, I should mention I'm also taking Seysara tablets as well too during the day
Also, when you wake up during the morning, because tretinoin is a night skincare routine, what are you suppose to do in the morning? Just cleanse after waking up and then wait for nightime and recleanse again.
My routine before was:
Cleanse with (La Roche Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser)
Moisturize with just a Gold Bond Pure moisture daily body & face lotion with hyaluronic acid and naturally sourced grapeseed oil
And then I'd apply Tretinoin at night
And then sunscreen in the morning (the melt in milk face/body sunscreen by la roche posay)
However I'd do this routine every day (I've only been doing this for about maybe 2-3 weeks now and I've only noticed it getting worse but I'm aware acne tends to get worse before it gets better or so I'm told)I'm pretty determined so Im not giving up just yet even though it makes me emotional. I'll probably just take it back to 2-3 times a week even though my skin is use to it everyday now with no flaking/ mild irritation/and barely any dryness because i mositurize.
Also was I doing this routine correctly and are the products im using now in your opinion good products to use? Im really sorry this is pretty long but I admire your skin so much and Im hoping I can get on the same level of skin care as you soon. Also if it isnt obvious I have no idea about skincare, Im very new at this and before i would use pharmacy acne facial washes before I realized how harsh they were on your skin. Im sorry if some of my questions seem dumb or just common sense but I have really no idea. Im only 17 but I really really want to get this figured out as soon as possible. You dont understand how much it would mean to me if you could respond. Thank you so much for your videos, you are truly helping out so many people. 😊
Love ur vedios ......n love if u try n review some indian brand skincare lyk Be minimalist , Deconstruct ....😊
I’m getting Tretinoin for my hyperpigmentation left over by cystic acne in my teens I’m almost 20. This gives me so much hope.
Yess!! Just take it supperrr slow take your time and you will love the results eventually! Tret is my skincare bestie 🥰😂
@@SarahSaleen will do! Thank you!
@@Mirandadanda_ have you seen results yet? :)
@@aura53yess! Definitely a bit drying but it’s forced me to get better products! :)
@@Mirandadanda_ How well is tret treating your hyperpigmentation?
wow, you are stunning!!!!
Thank you so much 🥰😘
@@SarahSaleen Do you know anything about mequinol and skin bleaching?
you're so pretty!!!! love from Philippines!
🙈wow! 😍Aww thank you love 🥰😘
First, your skin is so goals!! You look amazing. I have dry dull skin with red/blemish & scars on my cheeks with hyperpigmentation around my mouth area. Did you have a dark mouth area before this skin care routine? I want to add the amino acid + 5, alpha arbutin 2% + HA and hylauronic acid into my skincare routine. Do you think these products are key to my issues?
Yes I used to have a lot more darkness around my mouth. Amino acid +5 can help with hydration but it can be a bit tingly for some people when they start it. Just a heads up 😆… yess adding alpha arbutin can really help. I tend to use it 2x a day. Also look into tranexamic acid. I talk about it in other videos but it also blocks excess production of melanin and it doesn’t actually exfoliate your skin so it’s easy to incorporate into skincare routines. Naturium has one and tons of pigment correcting products have tranexamic acid in them as well. I mention some in my hyperpigmentation video.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
@@SarahSaleen thank you!! I’m gonna rewatch the other videos, they’re super helpful I just couldn’t figure out a good routine for me 😂 I really appreciate the reply!!
I can’t get over how beautiful you are 😅 anyway I stopped using tret because I just couldn’t stand the retinization phase but I’m going to give it another try
You’re too kind ❤️.. yess give it another try! It’s fine to go super slow with it too. I used tret only once a week for a month before I increased another day and I had minimal irritation that way 🥰
Great video and advice.
Thank you! My updated routine will be up soon too ❤️
Your skin is so beautiful
Aw thank you love. It’s very up and down actually. But consistance is key ❣️🥰❤️
Hello! Your videos are great and you're so gorgeous :) I have been introducing my skin to retinoid with the Ordinary's products. I hope to up the strength when I run out of that. Is the tretinoin only available via prescription? Are there any OTC products with a good strength?
Hi! That’s great! I’m actually doing some the ordinary skincare videos soon 😆. Yes it is only prescription but there are brands that make their own custom blends with tretinoin like Dermatica, and dear brightly. differin is also always an over the counter option….. But as for over the counter retinoids besides that, retinaldehyde is as strong of a retinoid as you can get without going into prescription-strength : Avéne RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream, Skin Script Retinaldehyde Serum, allies of skin retinal and peptides night cream, to name a few!
Hey girl!!!! So I've been on tret for 3 months; I don't have severe acne but I have these hormonal bumps under my skin that haven't gone away. I wanted to try incorporating a benyzol peroxide wash once a week, but would you recommend that? I know some say to stay away from other actives while on tret, but I'm worried tret alone isn't really working 😭 I been using a peroxide gel I was prescribed but I really haven't seen much of a difference lol. Thanks so much!
Hey! Yes if you’re tret irritation had calmed down you can use the BP wash on nights when you’re not using tret, or in the mornings. It can be a bit drying. But yes you can incorporate it into your weekly routine. ❤️
you need to treat your hormones and balance them for hormonal acne, topicals wont help that cause only the after affects
Hi, I was wondering if you can use The Ordinary “ Buffet “ along with tretinoin cream
You’re so beautiful and thank you for the tips!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
What do you do after the night you use if ? Do you put a other medication or just leave it without?
Very informative! Question for you. I’ve been using Tret for a long time now as well (cystic acne issues). I keep my routine very simple. Now and then I still get acne coming up, leaving me scars. I’m also finding that my skin is very dry. Other than a good moisturizer, what else do you think I should incorporate into my routine to deal with the scarring and the dryness (at the same time not straying from a simple routine)? Please and thank you :)
Hi! Thank you! So there are a few options. You don’t need to do them all of course but even one can make a big difference. For one you can incorporate a more occlusive product on top of your moisturizer to lock in moisture even more. In this video I show the paulas choice hydrating mask and it’s still my favorite.
Keep a super gentle cleanser in your rotation if you’re not already. Cleansing sets the stage for the routine.
Another option is to use a hydrating toner or essence to start your routine right after cleansing. This can also act as a light buffer under the tret which may result is less dryness
One more option is incorporating a hydrating serum. I can give you multiple recommendations if you like but The one I’m using right now is the paulas choice
Omega+ complex serum. I use it in the mornings right before moisturizer and at night sometimes I’ll even use it before my tret.
I hope that helps a bit! ❤️
@@SarahSaleen oh amazing, thanks so much! I’ll definitely look into the hydrating serum. I just ordered the Ordinary Buffet as well - is this worth a shot as well?
Yes I love the ordinary buffet serum! You can use it with retinoids too!
Hi Sarah! Can I use micellar oil instead of cleansing balm? Because cleansing balms are quite expensive in my country. Btw I love your videos, you are the only youtuber whose beauty advice I take to heart 💓💖
Also, I used tretinoin 0.025% by using the sandwich method, I did not experience any breakouts. Is that okay or is purging necessary in order for the tretinoin to work?
No purging is not necessary! It’s different for everyone.
Yes a micellar water is fine! When you use a con ton round with it, drench the cotton round to minimize any tugging on the skin.
Thank you darling 😍❤️🥰
@@SarahSaleen Thank you Sarah. I wish you all the best with your TH-cam channel! ,🥰
Hi.i just started to watch your videos and I'm a beginner on skincare products.I am 42 and i have dry skin around my nose area and dark circles under my eyes,can you give me some tips on what I could use for both of my issues.
Thanks for the video! If you were going to add rosehip oil to this routine would you add it before or after your moisturiser? And would it be after the tretinoin?
Hi! Rosehip has vitamin a so if you want to layer it with tret I would just gradually do it after retinization. If your moisturizer is pretty thick or heavy i’d use it before the moisturizer. 🥰
@@SarahSaleen thanks for your quick reply! By after retinisation do you mean wait a bit to pop the oil on after putting the tretinoin on, or like because it has vit A in it already, to only use it after I've finished my course of topical tretinoin?
Yes on waiting for tret to absorb before applying oil after tretinoin. Retinization is the tret adjustment period where can can get really dry and compromised and possibly peel. So essentially id try using it over the tret if or when your skin is not experiencing any irritation from the tret. Try it a few times a week and see how your skincare handles the combination before you make it a regular part of the routine. ❤️☺️
Hi there
Can I use eva naturals vitamin c serum together with a tretnoin cream since Eva contains some amount of retinol. Is it advisable to use both in one routine?
And also how do I incorporate eva naturals vitamin c serum and a chemical exfoliant in my routine?
Great video. will share it with a few friends. Question. Can I use the alpha arbutin and also the ordinary buffet along with the retinoin - which goes first? 😍
You you can.
Since they’re both water based you can layer them in order of importance, then apply your tret. 🥰
@@SarahSaleen thank you 😘
Thank you for the video ❣️, how long did you wait to put on your moisturizer??
I just wait a couple minutes. If it feels like it’s dried down I go in with moisturizer ❤️
@@SarahSaleen thank you so much ❣️❣️
Love this routine! I have hyperpigmentation too. How long can you use alpha Arbutin? Is it safe for long term use? Can you use it for a year or several years straight?
Yess! You can use it long term! It’s not like hydroquinone
Sarah your skin is perfect. I used to enjoy Tretinoin everyday without irritation but now I've got sensitive to it. Can i use it only once a week and still get anti aging benefits or it would be useless?
It can still help you 1x a week but what may help you even more is is going down in strength. Maybe Try an otc retinAl serum. It’s one step below tretinoin and can give kinda similar results with far less irritation, meaning you may be able to use it more often and then see a bigger difference than just using tret 1x a week. I used to love the osmosis vitamin a serums, but there’s so many good ones out there now 🤍
@@SarahSaleen thank you ❤️
I thought when you use tretinoin you are only supposed to use cleanser tretinoin and moisturizer?
Do you do this same routine in the morning? Minus the tretinoin? Im just now starting this from watching your videos, and i was told to do it only at night with the tretinoin. But what i don't know what to do for the morning?
Hi can we use ordinary's hyaluronic acid + peptide serum with tretinoin ? Iam new to tretinoin but I have been using buffet serum for long time
Which one is good tretinoin jel or cream?
I see most of the youtuber use cream but i use jel so i am confused about it.
Dear Sarah, first of all thank you very much for sharing your routine! I have a question to ask you. I use tretinoin 0,05% since April and I’ve noticed such big changes in my skin. Though, I constantly have very small comedones under skin that you can see especially if I turn my face against some kind of light. Do you know what this problem can be caused by? Maybe a lack of exfoliation? If yes, do you suggest any exfoliating products I can use in the nights that I’m not using my tretinoin. 💕💕
Hey! Is it milia? Milia can looks like tiny white pearls under the skin. Yes exfoliating can help. Using aha’s like lactic and glicolic (concentrations of 10% or lower ) can be helpful…
The ordinary has a few if you’re looking for a affordable straight forward option. I personally keep the lactic acid in my collection
Some others I loves are the sanitas hydrating brightening solution and the globiotics probiotics resurfacing solution.
-I would however only use them if you are past the retinization phase of using your tret
- another option is a physical exfoliant like a scrub. I’m not a fan of most on the market, or of using them too frequently.
But, they can be helpful if it is milia you’re trying to treat. My preferred one is the skin ceuticals micro exfoliant.
@@SarahSaleen thank you very much! Never heard of milia.. might be. In my case, they’re not pimples but like very little bumps that have the size of a pore. Do you prefer, in this case, the ordinary AHA peeling solution or the ordinary glicolyc acid toner? How many times a week should I use one of the two (before mentioned) products? I have pretty sensitive skin. Also, I’ve finished my retinization period. Haven’t been facing purging, flaky skin, etc. In months. 💕😘
If you have pretty sensitive skin and you’re new to chemical exfoliants I would go with the ordinary lactic acid 5% 2 times a week
@@SarahSaleen thank you very much 💗
I can tell you watch dermatologists. you are spot on.
Thanks girl ❤️❤️
Hii princess jasmine💖is it safe to use tretenoin 0.025 without consulting a dermat..
Your skin is flawless and face is symmetrical and im jealous 😂...btw can you comment your skin care routine (with both medical and brand name )
Thank you darling ❤️ I list all my products in the description. But if you’re talking about my daily ski care, it changes based on my concern. I’ll have tons more routines coming soon ❤️
I was wondering, is it OK if I can use this cleanser?
TOLERIANE PURIFYING FOAMING FACIAL WASH
After that, I had a moisturizer I usually use these CICAPLAST BALM B5 or LIPIKAR AP+ M TRIPLE REPAIR MOISTURIZER
Hey! Would it be ok to use Rose Hip Seed Oil over the tretinoin??? :)
Great video thanks your so pretty god bless you
Hi. TYSM for the video. You are gorgeous. Please tell me do you use exfolating products on the nights you are not using tretinoin on? I am using acdermin gel having 0.025% tretinoin three nights a week alternatively. And on the alternate three nights i apply Inkey list's bha serum because i have very oily acne prone skin with black heads and white heads. So bha helps in going inside those big open pores and in cleansing them. Am i doing it too much? For removing facial hair i use tinkle razors. They are also kinda a form of exfoliation...
Hi! Thank you so much 🥰. Yes I use all different chemical exfoliating products on my tret off nights, and I also shave my face often. I always tell beginners to ease into exfoliating on tret off nights because a lot of skin barrier damage can happen when it’s over done. But you also have to just listen to your skin. If you’re seeing a positive difference, if you’re not seeing signs of a compromised skin barrier like, redness, tightness, flaking, peeling, sensitivity, itchiness, then it might be that your skin is doing fine with handling your products. If you do notice any of that irritation, scale back. Hope that helps ❤️
@@SarahSaleen Tysm
Peeling itself is not necessarily an adverse reaction. But Side effects like peeling, stinging, dryness are within the stage of retinization. However just because it is a normal stage doesn’t mean your skin isn’t irritated and compromised. The skin will need extra attention during this stage and Sometimes these side effects can worsen to the extent that hypo or hyperpigmentation can occur. That’s why it’s important to take it slow so that the side effects aren’t too overwhelming for your skin. Also your skin cells can shed faster without visible peeling and some prefer to get through the retinization phase with less side effects by taking extra precautions. I hope that answered your question somewhat 😅❤️🥰
hi,my skin is acne prone and combination my breakouts are less than usual now cuz i use adaplene but i dnt want any more can u suggest anything that would clear out the skin and i have scars left i double cleanse daily and then use niacinamide,retinol by ordinary and then use a moisturiser then use adaplene as a spot treatment
Hey sis. Your skin so flawless. Can u help me as I have acne prone skin. But from last month I'm dealing so much with hormonal acne all over face that too big ones. It's been so bad!! What skin care should I go with? Can u suggest me products for acne and marks with not much high range product as I'm from India. My skin type is combination skin.
Also, can you apply the serums you use on wet skin (specifically amino acids b5 and alpha arbutin)?
Yes you can!
im amazed by your hair, clear and glowy chest and whiteest teeth! what's the recipe Queen?
Hey love! Thank you so much ❤️. It wasn’t always like that! I really want to do a full hair care video, beauty maintenance video, and a how deal with body breakouts and pigmentation. Hopefully I can get all videos those out soon. Thank you for watching 🥰🥰
Hi Sarah, as you’re an esthetician I wanted to ask does tretinoin and retinol break down your skins protective barrier? Because I really want to start tretinoin but I don’t want to compromise my skin barrier because I’ve had bacterial acne in the past after waxing my face. Please could you let me knw if tretinoin makes your more sensitive to bacterial acne? PS you’ve the most stunning skin I have ever seen😍😍😍
Hey! Thank you so much ☺️ yes tret can impair the skin barrier which is why there can be peeling, flaking, irritation and redness, and even more breakouts. I do have a beginners guide to tret video,where I talk about how to minimize it.. but there’s no guarantee that you will avoid it completely. Skin can be more sensitive after starting tret and it can last months.
The acne you’re talking about can be common after waxing and is different from the acne that can develop after starting tret.
If you’re nervous about tret I would start with a retinol product that you can get over the counter and see how your skin does.
Also avoid any waxing if you start using any retinoid.
❤️
SarahSaleen thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
What do you recommend as a skincare routine on nights you aren’t using tretinoin (especially for acne prone/sensitive skin)?
Hey! So if your skin is tolerating the tret well, then on your off days you can try either azelaic acid or mandelic acid.. or alternate between the two.. I like the ones for Naturium best. Both are good AHA options for sensitive acne prone skin. Azelaic targets more of the congestion, inflammation, redness, it’s antimocrobial
Mandelic can help unclog pores, it has anti bacterial properties, helps with inflammation, can help result in fewer breakouts
You also can instead use a mild salicylic wash on the off days like the one from cere ve.
Start slowly though, and work your way up though so you can access your Skin tolerance.
@@SarahSaleen thank you! do serums like the ordinary’s hyaluronic acid or niacinamide + zinc have any adverse effects while using tret?
These ingredients alctually pair well with tret. There have been studies showing that niacinamide combined with retinoids can lessen irritation of the retinoid. Niacinamide also can help to protect your skin barrier with is a plus with tret use.
Applying a light layer of hyaluronic acid cream or serum before tret can also lessen irritation.
@@SarahSaleen Yesss, thank you! I was going to ask about this. Glad I kept scrolling through the comments :) Btw, you are SUPER beautiful!!! Someone said you look like a Disney princess, and they were accurate! #newsubbie
What a beautyyy!! I am just starting tretinoin 0.025% but I was using serum toner and essence before.. but I think I should cancel them for a few months and let my cleanser tret eyecream and moisturizer to do the work, Is it a good idea to dismoss the produxcts until my skin gets used to the tret? Thankss
Yes! In the beginning definitely a good idea to keep your routine simple and let your tret get accustomed to your skin 🤍 thank you darling ❤️❤️
@@SarahSaleen The queen replieddd💝💝💘❤ Thanks beautiful, I try to get my mexican boyfriend to start using creams but I just cant get his macho side off, he just keeps saying hes not a girl but its sad cause he washes his face with barsoap and puts body lotion on his face and just after the shower, but he works construction roofing outside and doesnt even use sunscreen, what should I do, he just doesnt want to use products even if he xomes all sunburnt specially in the summer?
I feel this! It’s hard! My husband was so similar. After I gave him his first facial he started to believe.. Sometimes I’ll even just put the skincare on him myself if he gets lazy😂.
But Maybe just give one product like a moisturizer with spf.. if he can stick to that then maybe he can also just add a retinol moisturizer at night and that would make a huge difference
@@SarahSaleen trueee!! But its harder for them tho since theyre outside all day and not only the sun but all the dust debris and sweat wont make things better if he adds an spf woth all that dust and dirt on his face😂 well cant do nothing about that. But thanks and btw I love the vibe on your vids love from chicago💯❤️💘
Please make a video on retinol and treinoin for beginners
Hey! I made a beginners guide to tret where I talked about tips to minimize irritation, and different ways to apply it starting out. ❤️
Hey Sarah..
Can I use tretinoin daily on my legs as I have strawberry skin issues
Hello dear,can we use tret cream in skin routine forever?there is not any adverse effect for our body health?
Have you used mylan tretinoin for 7 years straight? or did you take breaks? Also how long did it take you to see results as far as collagen production?
No I’ve been very on and off mostly because I didnt understand how retinoids really worked until I became an estee. I’ve mostly been consistent over the past 2 years. In terms of collagen, I would say for me around 3 months to see an improvement with things like fine lines and texture.
And I haven’t only used the mylan brand, I’ve also use Obagi. I’ve also tried a few custom blend tretnoin from dear brightly and hers, which I lovee. Once I finish my current tret tube I will switch to one of those. I find them slightly easier to tolerate. The vehicle that carries the tret in the formula can have a big impact on tolerability.
So gorgeous
Great video! Is it okay to place tret in areas of concern instead of the whole face?
Thank you darling 🥰. You can apply thin layer of tret on any combination of areas on your face that you want rejuvenation, instead of your entire face. 💙
@@SarahSaleen Thank you! I appreciate your response.
Do you think it’s okay to use cetaphil pro oil removing foaming cleanser with tretinoin?
I actually use that one on my non Tret nights! I use a more gentle one on Tret nights, which is Vanicream cleanser.
Hey! Foam cleanses can be a little over drying sometimes, which you want to avoid before tret so you can minimize any irritation or peeling.
If your skin feels tight or dry after this cleanser You could opt for a more gentle hydrating option for tret days like the cere ve hydrating cleanser, the la roshe posay hydrating cleanser, neutrogena hydroboost gentle cleansing lotion
.. you can always save the foam cleanser for non tret days
Kind of confused - on another video, you recommended Bioderma micellar water to remove makeup (which I bought yesterday on Amazon, thanks to you!) but you also mentioned Green Clean makeup balm on this video? Which is better for acne-prone skin?
Both are great. I usually use a balm. It honestly comes down to preference, what you like the feel of more. Honestly if you’re new to double cleaning the bioderma is a great place to start. It’s still the best micellar water I’ve tried
Hi I really love your skin, how often do you use tretinoin daily or how many times?
I’d a day. I use it 5-7 days a week.
so if i have a toner/serum should i use that before or after tretinion?
Just came across your page ❤ Hello. I have a question being new to skincare I'm still trying to find the right way of using .if you can please help me .
I am really confused on skincare literally So far I have the ordinary products (natural moisturizer factors, niacinamide10%1%zine, alpha arbutin2%lactic acid
Laroche posay cleanser & triple repair cream
Inkeylist hyaluronic acid serum & pha toner& eye cream (I’m trying to find another toner but don’t know how it works or what it’s for ) my friend gave me a hydrating toner with rose water by Dickinson
& I was prescribed recently tretinoincream
I have a few breakouts nothing major
Recently got eczema around my eyes and cheeks but went away so I’m keeping it calm & rosecea on cheeks
I do have dry skin on my face neck and chest some marks and uneven skin tone I’m also trying to manage nothing getting wrinkles etc lol I’m 30years.
Hi Sarah,how should the ordinary alpha arbutin 2%+HA should be applied either to dry skin or damp skin?
You can apply it to dry skin or damp skin.. as long as it’s not wet skin. So I’d pat dry any excess water off the skin and then apply it if you’re wanting to apply it to damp skin.
Hope that’s not confusing 😅❤️
No it’s not confusing n thank you. It is really confusing which serums to apply on dry or damp skin😂
Girrrrrlll pls make hair care video
Just testing a few last things out then i will film it ☺️
Yay!💫✨
