Omg I was literally searching up “dr dray retinol” videos just now for tips on how to get started 😂 The sorcery. Thanks for all of your great content Dr. Dray!
I have a whole playlist with more info
I told you guys, Dr. Dray is a wizard😂😂😂.... we love you ❤
"The sorcery" 😂😂😂
Dr. Dray, does vitamin C causes breakouts?
@@sophiapotter7758no, but it can be a bit irritating, especially if it has any fragrance.
Thanks for your no-nonsense approach to retinol! It's hard to wade through all the skin care marketing claims sometimes. You manage to cut through all the bull, Dr Dray, and I appreciate it! 🤩
You've been living in my mind and answering all my questions with your videos lately!!!
What I admire about you, is that we can always rely, on you for truthfulness and being straightforward. Thanks for clearing up all the marketing myths and claims out there about retinol.
I absolutely needed this explained!! Thank you so much for this info
I am so glad you made this video!!! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate all the work you do. I live with Psoriasis on my face and was at a complete loss to treat my skin. Your advice and the information you provide has helped manage it when prescriptions failed.
Great timing. Going to see my dermatologist next week to discuss retinol and this info will help me better understand the subject.
I agree with you about the benefits of retinol cream for people with atopic skin. It certainly enhances the skin barrier and contributes to the prevention of recurrence.
I love the way your hair looks today!
Thank you so much Dr. Dray! I was about to change from retinol to retinal but i decided to check what you have to say about them first. I'm so glad i did.🙂
Hey Dr. Dray! - I just wanted to say, I've been watching you for a long time, and your content is always great... your camera presence has really come a long way since your early videos! Good for you! =)
i'm glad to see your updated video on retinols, it helps me feel reassured that i'm using up to date knowledge
I love this! I’m in Houston as well Dr dray and mainly focus on oily acne prone videos. I love all your videos bc you don’t focus on time. Even if it’s not something I’m interested in, I listen to you bc you drop 💎 gems and I learn something bc your rant beautifully ❤❤❤❤ especially in the dollar tree videos! I love those the best! Thank you
You are amazing! Thank you for your every advice and information about skincare. 2 years now and my skin is like baby skin 😊 years of using properly and prescripted RETIN A
Great video. I had this question floating around in my head for a few days
At 68 yo, I used OTC Adapalene (aka Differin) for anti-aging (sunspots, increased glow and hopefully increased collagen production) 3-4 nights per week. I was thinking, "Meh," and took a break for a few months. I recently started again and absolutely am convinced of the subtle yet positive results. No irritation, no peeling, no dryness. Will continue. ❤
@@Youwork449 that’s not what Dr Dray has said in previous videos.
@@Youwork449 not true
@Tune In just because it is for teenagers with acne does not mean that it doesn’t work for anti aging.
@@Youwork449 Just let people be happy. Enjoy your acne/wrinkles/whatever insecurity you’re projecting onto others in TH-cam comments 😅
@@Youwork449 there just aren't as many studies for adapalene for anti aging as there are for tret, but tret is for sure better for anti-aging but that doesn't mean adap doesn't have anti-aging properties
This was so helpful! Thank you so much 😊💜
I’ve been using your suggestions for starting retinol and I’ve loved the difference in my skin. I love your simple no nonsense, no fluff, simple facts when it comes to skin care.
What skin. difference did you notice?
Which one did you get?
I appreciate your factual and informational videos, you are an important resource for me
You are an AWESOME Dr.!!!
I ADORE YOU!! and your wealth of information/opinions, whatever you wanna call it! 😘
This is great and perfect time as I am helping my cousin start down a skincare journey. Thanks as always!
Thanks for watching
Hi Dr. Dray! Just wanted to say, because of you, people in my life come to ME with questions about skincare 😂 As I relay what I learned from you, I've seen improvements in skin plumpness, general understanding of the skin, and all-around knowledge of how to look critically at ingredients instead of what I used to do -- which was blindly buy what a beauty influencer bought 😂 Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge!!! You're helping myself and people all around the world who can't otherwise afford to see a dermatologist unless in dire circumstances, and sometimes not even then!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
That's one the many many reasons i adore Doctor Andrea and to put it more specifically is that she says the actual truth no matter how boring or bland or common it may sounds. "Opinions vs Facts" and that titan like battle shows us that there aren't robust or even no existent clinical studies and trials that go through all that trouble comparing different types of retinols and their efficacy on individuals. Of course the companies have to deal also with the issue of formulation and retinol's stability if they have to come with head to head comparing retinols. To put it more simply like Doctor Andrea said to her video, retinol is converted into retinaldehyde, aka retinal, that is further converted to retinoic acid. So that only changes the steps from two to one big deal. The retinol thing in my humble opinion is not like level in a game that you have to upgrade to be more strong or robust but more like of calming walk in which you think and decide without external manipulative interference. Thanks Miss Andrea for explaining the benefits and side effects of retinol and retinaldehyde and also debunking those pesky myths around them. ❤😊😇👍🙏😍😎👍 (hail to retinol in general 👑😊😂).
Dr. Dray,
Would you do a video showing a skin care routine with specific products for a woman in their 30s with dry/normal skin? Your videos are amazing and so informative. I get a bit overwhelmed with all the products so that would be SO helpful!
See her video, skincare in your 30s.
Hello Dr. Dray! Thank you for uploading today, I was just about to finish studying for my pharmacognosy exam tomorrow and is in dire need for relaxing content. ❤️
Good luck on your exam
I discovered Dr Dray when studying for the bar! It's still relaxing now that I am a lawyer. Keep it up! You'll get there!
Thank you for this video. Great information.
I've been waiting for a topic like this!
Thanks for watching
Thanks Dr Dray!!
Thank you for all your content btw I love your hair and makeup in this video!
You have such great content. Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! You too!
Thanks so much! I believed a lot of these myths and this info was sorely needed.
Glad it was helpful!
I started wearing sunscreen everyday since beginning to watch Dr Dray's videos then began incorporating retinol through her tips and recommendations. I cleanse and moisturize every night. I look great and I feel great! I'm in my early 40s and people tell me I look late 20s.
thanks for all the consistent free information Dr Dray!
Which retinol do you use?
❤
You probably don't look late 20s. People like to flatter and exaggerate. People tell me I look in my 20s. Realistically I look in my 30s. People who go around spouting that they look in their 20s 99% of the time they don't. And they look silly and cocky saying that they do. My advice is to stay humble and based in reality.
@@user-qx3ky9bg9t true.. people say what they think you want to hear
Thank you for mentioning eczema! I've been scared to try retinoids for a long time, but this has convinced me to add it to my routine.
Yes! I was surprised my super reactive skin tolerated it. The keys for me were putting it on over moisturizer and starting super slow
but girls dont like retinoid tho
Hi, Dr. Dray: At your suggestion, I purchased Nourishing Rice Mask by COSRX. I've been using this luscious cream to buffer the drying effects of retinol on my sensitive skin. Thank you for your informative youtube episodes and product recommendations:)
Great video! You're the OG de-influencer before that even became a thing
Thank you very much for sharing your extensive knowledge.
Thank you so much for your valuable information.. you have helped me a lot.❤
Thank you for your advice with retinol products. I will be trying Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair. I have been using skin cuetticals retinol 0.5 and haven't noticed difference with 2xweek for months. Maybe need to use more often. What do you think of skin ceuticals.
Thanks for what you've said about retinol products. I've been using the Cereve Resurfacing Retinol serum and thought I needed to upgrade to retinal, but now I understand that it isn't necessary. What I have is already working for me.
the Cerave retinol is amazing! it's smooth and does the job well. I've tried "upgrading" in the past but my skin didn't tolerate well to other brands. if it ain't broke don't fix it
Omg I just bought Neutrogena retinol for the first time in my life yesterday and used it last night, your video is right on time lol
You are amazing! I started tret in 2017. I followed all your advice and recommendations. I have been using .1% tret every night on entire face including around the eyes and neck for last 4 years. I started on the lowest strength and struggled a lot with the side effects but I didn’t give up…key is to go slow and listen to your skin. I’ll never stop using tret…it’s for life!
I do notice that if I miss a day or two then I started to see and feel my skin get congested and bumpy, I just cannot do with out this stuff🫣
I would like to know if there is any stepping up from .1% ???
Thank you!
I'd personally stick to that percentage especially if it's already working.. I just don't see any reason to go up, probably add an Aha once or twice a week. But this might only be a good idea for seasoned tret users.. 💞
Agency will take you up to .14% but I’m with the first reply. Not sure if it’s a good thing or not since the data Dr dray talks about is based on the .1% but Agency is an option.
I really appreciate your videos !!
Dr Dray is Beautiful, Smart. I want to be like her when i grow up ❤
❤❤ thank you for such a clear video on retinol
Thank you for being correct and onest. Help me choose the what retinol to get next thank you!❤
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here happy Wednesday I live for this ❤️
Morning!
Same. I watch them all.
Just love your channel ❤️
Just want to say Dr. Dray looks very pretty.
Elf just came out with a new retinoate and retinol together, so far I like it and actually feel the tingling, and it's only $ 22..
Could you review Life-flow retinol A 1% cream and also the sequence of applying it on face, like after moisturizer or before moisturizer etc.
Thank you dr.
Dr. Dray looks gorgeous with this light subtle eye make up. Amazing video as always with no bs
Thanks for this video. Wed. Looking good. 😊
thanks for watching :)
This was super helpful! I switched from cerave resurfacing retinol serum which i loved to a couple of other “stronger” products like paulas choice and none of them really seemed to help me. After beauty of joseon literally made my eyelid skin peel off, i took a few weeks off and decided to switch back to the cerve resurfacing. Within a few days my skin cleared up again!
I had the same experience (not the eyelids ouch!) But starting with CeraVe and doing amazing and then trying to "up my game"....big mistake, huge, it's been irritation city since then. CeraVe for the win!
That cerave is fantastic! I was able to go from that to adapalene without any irritation. I did go from daily cerave retinol to once a week adapalene and building up from there. On tret .025% now and I don’t see any difference from adapalene yet.
Thumbs up. I use Maelove retinaldehyde. Thanks and have a good day Dr Dray
thank you ,thank you ❤
I saw a comment that says that they wouldn't consider Cerave retinol serum a retinol product because retinol is listed lower on the ingredients list. they believe a product's efficacy is solely determined by how high the active ingredient is on the list... 🤦🏻♀️ as if the overall formulation didn't matter at all.
meanwhile my skin has been plumper and smoother and my hyperpigmentation has been improving ever since I started using Cerave retinol 🤷🏻♀️
😊
Good for you.This one does me no good at all.
Makes sense. And yet another dermatologist pushes retinaldehyde as being the best. I’m changing my thinking on that.
thank you so much for itnroducing me to Cerave, honestly its my go-to brand, it just works without making my skin itch
Last Saturday was my first day of tretinoin ....And I can't thank you more dr Dray coz I didn't have little bit of irritation or any other sort of side effects( initially i thought my tretinoin is not working , lol ) ....Thank you so much dr 🙌
Tell me how you did it?! And what percentage was your tretinoin?
@@Mandapanda. not the OP, but hydrating products, moisturizers and sunscreen have helped me during the retinization process.. I also avoided other actives and vitamin c, just using them now that I'm already used to tret.. 💞
@@Mandapanda.
My skincare is quite simple
1 cleanser
2 moisturizer
3 sunscreen
No active ingredients in between ...(Before starting tretinoin i used to use green tea toner , but I stopped)
I started with .025%
As dr dray mentioned in her vdos , i cleanse my skin 1st then apply nutreogena moisturizer and apply some Vaseline around my eyelids , near corners of lips and nose then I wait for 20mins and then I apply my tretinoin (only just pea sized amount) ...And that's it ... Hopefully this helps and yes don't forget to apply your spf and you good to go 🙌
@@vrushalijadhav834 Thankyou SO much!
Always so helpful! I have had to go back to square one... 💜💜💜Big issues is wanting to use other skincare but tretinoin irritates so much I don't feel I can (besides moisturizer of course...)
Thanks for watching
Dr dray looks so nice in black
Hi Dr Dray,
Firstly, thank you for all of your fantastic videos, they are so helpful and have such good and to the point information.
I wanted to ask something about retinols. I used prescribed tretinoin a few years ago for acne and it was really great. I have had some of it come back so I want to try again, but I am so scared to use a retinol again because of the purging.
Is it necessary to purge again when using retinol for the second time or third time, or is the skin sort of 'done with' the purging phase from way before? 🥴❤
I just started using it within the last few months and I like to layer it on. I put a light layer of a moisturizer, then retinol then another layer of moisturizer.
Hi Dr. Dray, i've been watching your videos for a month. I love all the affordable brands you feature in your channel. For fun though, i am very interested for you to try high end products and maybe show the drug store version that has same effect? Just for fun?
Your videos answer all my questions I didn't even know I had! 😊
I started using the GoldBond Retinol Overnight Body/face Lotion on my rosacea and it really has improved!
I tried it on my face and also under my eyes - bad allergic reaction
Looking forward to this. Happy Wednesday Dr Dray 😃❤️
Greetings Kerry Howarth hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….
Morning!
@@whitneybrown4067 Thanks Whitney you too! 😁❤️
@@DrDrayzday Thank you Dr Dray! 😁❤️
I think cerave did great job with their retinol serum.. the serum is very lightweight, nice texture, good price ❤
We don't have otc Differin here and I don't want to bother with a Tretinoin prescription.
Kinda randomly started on the CeraVe stuff, since it was newly available here in Germany last autumn and pharmacies were promoting it quite a bit.
I honestly can't say much about the anti-aging properties, as my 42 year old hide was still fairly smooth and even to begin with...but I did notice a reduction in oilyness and a very visible shrinking of the gunk filled 'craters of doom' on my nose. And for that alone, it's worth the money for me!
My skin is slightly more sensitive now, though. Before, truly nothing would faze it. Now most chemical sunscreens are a bit of a problem, sadly.
I don't really use any other potentially irritating actives atm, because of that.
I would like a less expensive product to use on my neck, decollete and hands, though.
Great video thanks for sharing 👍. My thought is to go with CeraVe Renewing Retinol Serum as I'm not a new hand at retinol, seems more geared to anti-aging and love that it is in a pump.
Do you mean the purple cerave renewing is better than the blue cerave that says resurfacing? I just bought the purple one renewing yesterday but I have been seeing lots of ppl think the blue resurfacing is better/stronger.. I am 54 so really want the better one for my age.
I use 1% trentinoin & it seems to agree with my skin I have used for 4 years when I saw a utuber explaining how she gets it from a drug company in India its $ 4 a tube no scripts necessary I did exactly what she explained & ordered it with no problems they sell all kinds drugs that over here you need scripts for I have definitely seen improvements in my skin I use the gel about 3x week . Thanks again for a great video .
I've used the Neutrogena off and on for year, dont like the smell when on my face, so I use it on my arms for sunspots at night. I use the Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum 1-2 nights a week. It smells good but it makes my face peel alot so thats all I can handle.
Great content as always! Thank you Dr Dray! One request, I would love to see your recommendations about pimples. I don't have acne anymore, however I might get a pimple occasionally. I always hear what I am not supposed to do 🤣. But I never heard what I am supposed to do. Can I make something so it will go quicker? Or not leave a mark? I am dying for your recommendations! Have a great day 😘( Idea for a future video)
That’s a good point. I’m in the same boat. If I treated myself for acne I’d melt my face off, but I do get the occasional pimple. I’ve been trying all different spot treatments she recommends. Hero patches, benzoyl peroxide, sal acid spot from cerave and cetaphil. She recently called out Paula’s choice azeleic acid for helping get rid of the red mark. All of these help but I haven’t figured out my favorites yet. I think the cerave spot treatment is really good. I don’t like the bleaching risk of the benzoyl peroxide so I put that on for “short contact therapy” about 5-10 mins before I wash my face. Seems to help! Curious if anyone has any HG recommendations for spot treatments?
Hi ! 🤍
Dear Dr. Dray ,
I am really happy because I found your channel. I benefited a lot from it, especially on the topic of hair baldness. I am 27 years old and suffered from hair baldness when I was 17 years old. Please add translation in Arabic so that I can understand more 🥺🤍
Hi Dr. dray, I have a question, I want to start a routine to avoid fine lines and wrinkles. I already have a few fine lines, but not many. I can get Differin and I used to use it for acne when I was younger. But I'm not sure if Differin is better than a a good retinol formula in terms of boosting collagen production. So, my question is what is better for antiaging purposes, Differin or a good retinol?
Thanks for helping me with this issue.
We love a molecule above and beyond everything, here😌. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Thank you for the great information!🥰
dr dray, im wondering if my moisturizer had citric acid on it, can i still use it together with retinol serum, as its an ingredients in my cream instead of another serum of AHAs?
Hi Dr. Dray would you mind to do a review on Dr. Vanita rattan complete daily range products? It's a bit overwhelming with all the products out there, thanks as always!
I like listening to your videos like this on my way to work or after work (dallas TX traffic). So much information, sounds like a podcast. Thank you for educating!
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 started a retinol just in the latest year (I am 50, picture is recent, no make-up). My mom is 77 and she also started it, also last year. She is now using it once sometimes twice a week. I am sticking to once (I am extremely dry). Not that I have noticed my skin getting drier from it, not at all. I also use hyaluronic acid serums and moisturizers + Nivea's blue tin. My skin has never looked better!
A Russian guy told me that blue tin nivea is a really good moisturizer and it keeps the skin youthful 💙
@@Bebedollie It does, and you don't need much at all. I dab small dabs on forehead, both cheeks chin and rub it out. It is thick. I let it sink in for a couple minutes, then pat my face gently with a towel (no rubbing). Otherwise it can leave remnants on your devices. It's pretty amazing, though and time-old. I have been using it since I was 3 on the recommendation of our internist (I was dry as a child and am dry age 50). I have been using it for almost 5 decades! Seriously.
Sorry but why start at 77 ? A bit too late innit? The skin is completely damaged by then
@@terimorris6394 How do you know how my mother took care of her skin all her life. Disgraceful little snirpy comment you made there. Awful. You should be ashamed of yourself. Besides the fact that you can't do math. She *is* 77 and started *last year* come on now. You can't even count?
Are you familiar with Paula's Choice's new Triple Active Repair Serum, and the type of retinol in it?
Dear Dr Dray, Can you do a video on sunscreen for post procedures such as chemical peel/ microneedling/ laser? Thank you so much
Dr Dray, Thx for your thorough explanation. I have a question. I would appreciate it if I may get a professional answer from you. I am wondering if I, as a male, have to stop using Tretinoin when my wife and I want to get pregnant. Greatly appreciate it.
I realised this when I tried the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 and then the 10. The 5 gave me so many pustules for 6 months straight. I barely have acne without actives involved in my routine. I tried the 10 solely because I had it in my drawer, went away within 2 days and never came back. I genuinely believe that their lower, suspiciously affordable strength has had it‘s formula compromised. Worth noting I have rosacea and I am perfectly fine with retinaldehyde 0.1%. Couldn’t tolerate tretinoin at all though. The skincare influencers telling people with rosacea that they have to use a 0.2 retinol is absolutely wild to me.
Happy rainy Wednesday. Dray!!🙋♀️🌧🌈❤
Same to you!
Thanks Dr, this is great information! I love and used the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair fragrance-free moisturizer for 1 whole year and I found that really helped me to prep my skin for when I switched over to tretinoin😍
I have been using Neutrogena Retinol Pro .3% for 5 weeks and love the results, my skin looks brighter, and smoother. I can't use it under my eyes area as it causes irrigation and dryness but I apply on the rest of my face, neck and hands.
I used to be prescribed for Tretinoin a while back. Someone recommended using Neutragena with alpha-hydroxy to handle the flaking. Worked great for years until the price kept going up on the Tretinoin.
A blessing 🥲
Thank you Dr. Something I have always wondered is if there is an application “order” to the serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, foundation etc. thanks
Hi Dr. Dray, since you are discussing retinol, is it true that tretinoin degrades under inside light from light bulbs, phones, TV etc. I saw a dermatologist say we should put tretinoin on and take off lights and go to bed immediately. Wonder if you can offer some advice. Live your channel
I wonder when I have already used few Retinol profucts, what would be good one for me. Especially for hyperpigmentation and also for anti-aging. Not overly expensive.
There are many new Retinol products in the Korean skincare market these days. It seems like OTC Retinol only recently became an ingredient in Korean brands. 2 years back I could only find Paula's Choice but now Korean brands such as CosRX, Innisfree, Mamonde, Some by Mi, Frankly, Simplica, Doctors etc have their own Retinol products. Can you please review these products.
Thanks to Dr Dray I found the Cerave resurfacing retinol for my rosacea laden skin. I’m terribly sensitive to everything and yet my skin loooooves this product. So grateful. ❤
Ditto, it does wonders for my suuuuper reactive rosacea skin. Literally overnight my skin was calmer...then it just keeps getting better!
Is this helping with the anti aging aspects for you?
I don’t have rosacea, but I love this product!!!
@@Mandapanda. my skin looks a hell of a lot better using it, not ruddy and red/irritated. I don't really have lines so can't say there but it also makes my hyperpigmentation a lot less noticeable
@@allysonbergman1303 thanks! I’ve always had clear skin but I have some lines on my forehead and smile lines, I do Botox, but I’d like to use something else to help combat lines and wrinkles! Thankyou!
Thank you so much for your videos.
CeraVe Skin Renewing Anti-Aging Face Cream with Retinol & Broad Spectrum Sunscreen... do I dare use retinol outside during daytime ?
I've been using Neutrogena Retinol Pro + .5% power serum. I use it 3 to 4 times a week at night time . I was thinking of changing it but now I won't 😅
