- Not Seeing Results with Retin-A (TRETINOIN)? Watch This Before You Quit & Avoid My Biggest Mistake
Never am I claiming to have flawless skin or be an expert in skincare. Rather, I’m sharing my lived experience as someone who’s been consistently using tretinoin for almost 2 decades now (in addition to having a basic skincare routine since around the age of 12). The goal anyway shouldn’t be achieving “perfect skin” as there is no such thing, but instead it should be for YOU to achieve YOUR best skin; and that goal is achievable! My complexion still has its flaws but, for ME, it’s as good as it’s going to get; I’m satisfied with my results. So I encourage you to stick with it, especially if you’re growing frustrated or impatient. Be patient & consistent. Don’t give up!
(P.S. My biggest skincare “secret” remains my diet.)

Please consult the description box if you're interested in links provided to pertinent research (it's very interesting)! I want to emphasize: Never underestimate or devalue the impact that diet has on one’s skin. The skin is the largest organ, and I’ll always maintain that my nutrient-dense, whole (real) foods diet + my time-restricted feeding lifestyle have a great deal to do w/the quality of my skin. (That, along with proper sleep & stress management and being a lifelong hat & sunscreen-wearer, too!)
Man she is staring into my soul
My dermatologist put tretinoin on the back of one hand for years. He left the other alone for comparison sakes to show his patients. He retired at 82. The hand he'd treated with tretinoin was smooth and unwrinkled.
Your skin looks so gorgeous I couldn’t even pay attention to what you were saying…mashallah
You saying your skin is better at 39 than 25 puts me at ease
I am a medical aesthetician and this was music to my ears. patience is so important when on this journey. SPF every day is extremely beneficial, even more so with any retin A product. LESS IS MORE loved this video!!
Spf and tretinoin they’re best friends
The fact that a 40 year old has younger looking skin than me (at 20 years old) is insane. It also means I need to up my skincare game while I still have time lol
I love the way she talks, very calming. And a very useful info. thank you.
Big shout out to my resistant, cystic, hormonal acne for getting me into Retin-A in my early 20s
My insurance allows me two 45g tubes per month at 0.05%. I literally apply Tretinoin all over my body every three days followed with an ultra rich water based moisturizer and I always use SPF 30+. As a guy, I get tons of compliments on my skin especially my face, neck, chest and arms. After one year of doing this during the lockdown, my skin transformation is just something you have to see. My skin tone is one solid color all over my body, smooth, dewy, firm, no lines or wrinkles and microscopic pores. I don't waste my money on any fancy expensive creams or serums. Just Tretinoin, SPF lotion, gentle cleanser and a thick water based moisturizer. I'm hooked on this stuff because it truly does EXACTLY what it says it will do and more!...
Wow, what can I say - your skin looks INCREDIBLE!!!! The result really speaks for itself!! I've just started my Tretinoin journey in the hope of delaying the inevitable signs of ageing... Your video gives me hope!! xxx
Been having skin problems all my life and Tretinion was the game changer. It has drastically improved my Ichtyosis vulgaris. I do not play with my prescription strength tubes. I recently quit vit c and there is no effect. I introduce and guide all my skincare group members on tretinion and make sure it’s on the routine for those abroad. It hurts that it’s expensive and they need their doctor to give it to them before they even use it and some don’t so I make sure I ship as much as they want. No law should prevent anyone from getting tret. It’s Tret on my body + moisturizer and a broad spectrum spf 50+ for life. Your videos are so encouraging and amazing. I cannot believe I can age backwards at 30+ I wish I met Tret earlier 😅
"My skin is in better shape now at 39 than it was when i was 25" Me being 26 I needed to hear that. That's so fire. Also cerave healing ointment is literally a lifesaver for my sebderm skin omg, petroleum jelly is the #1 proven occlusive skin protectant :D
Started Tretinoin in my early 40s. Done so well with the fine lines & rarely breaking out now. Skin looked better than it was 20 years ago. Tretinoin is MAGIC.
Thank you for an intellectually compelling and sensitively delivered recommendation/review of tretinoin/retin-a.
This was so helpful and inspiring! I just turned 39 and am just now really taking my skin care seriously. This helped me to know that it's not too late! And your adorable! Thank you so much!
I’m a 54 year old grandma and I’ve been using Tretinoin for about 25 years. I still use it about 4/5 days a week. I originally began using because of bad acne. People rarely believe I’m as old as I am! I wear a moisturizer with SPF under makeup during the day and use Tretinoin at night. I find that wearing a primer under foundation helps with any flakiness during the day. Drinking lots of water and not smoking will also definitely help keep your skin from aging.
I just turned 30 and I've been using tretinoin on and off for about 6 years now. It's amazing, I'm at the point where I don't get the flakiness anymore and I can skip a day or two and it doesn't affect my results.
Thank you for this testimony. I was about to give up on this tretinoin journey. It’s been about 2-3 months or so and wasn’t seeing any difference and my skin was peeling and dry. (I have combination skin) I will go slow and increase like you said and hopelessly one day have beautiful skin like you!
