I was just wondering if you had skintellectual discussion about retinol before..love this!!
I use Differin gel. I am old so I need the highest I can get OTC. Stay out of the sun ladies- love your Auntie Crypt Keeper.
I've been looking for differin online because I'm in Ireland but the price of shipping is crazy. I went for the acne free adapelene which works great.
@@born_confused I will check that out. I bet they are about same in effect.
@@born_confused differin is the name of the product, which contains 0.1% adapalene. So it's the same thing.
Differin Gel "isn't" going to help with aging like the rest of them would! That is mainly for people with acne prone skin! It's not going to help with wrinkles and fine lines it just isn't, especially for older women and aging prone skin! A dermatologist would tell you the same thing that is only really meant for people with acne prone skin. To get the aging benefits you need to use a much better product than that. There is many different kind of retinoids there is also retinaldehyde and then there is prescription which is the best for aging. If you have acne prone skin then by all means continue to use it. But you can also use that along with one that is actually meant for aging. But if you're looking to get any kind of real benefit to stop your wrinkles and fine lines you're not going to get it using this gel alone. I understand a lot of people misunderstand what that product actually does. I also understand a lot of people gravitate to it because it's cheaper than the actual powerful products that you can purchase. But I don't want you or anyone else to think that this product is going to really give you the aging benefits that some people are looking for for anti-aging because it's not going to.
@@JigglyPuff777 do you recommend one for older skin?
Listened 3x. Going with Paul’s choice for my 63 year old normal skin with some hyperpigmentation. Thanks Cass!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The hidden kitty is at 10:24 and thank you for another great video, Cass. I was just thinking about some adaplene gel yesterday.
I first came across your videos on Facebook watch and you inspired me to actually get a skin care routine! Been keeping up with it since August! I love how you care about cruelty free products since I do as well and love to hear your recommendations!
Hi Cassandra, thanks for the helpful video. I've been using the Paula's Choice 1% Retinol product, but after watching this, I think I'll switch to the Barrier Repair moisturizer when I use up what I have. I think that will be a better choice for my skin - dry and sensitive with rosacea.
You always have a video on everything I'm struggling with.. thanks cass..
And i prefer you over all the other TH-camrs here cuz you always recommend Cruelty free products and i personally adore that.. cuz no animal deserves to die or suffer for my skin or someone else's skin 💚..
Bless you!!
Very nice - this was such a complete explanation, appreciate the effort and research behind :)
thank you for such an in depth but straight forward breakdown
Thanks Cassandra, great vídeo! The one retinol my oily annoying skin likes is actually retinal, its the Geek and Gorgeous A Game retinal serum. No unpleasant wide effects, just clarear skin. 🥰
Brilliant tutorial, it really helps to get that perfection you're aiming for. Thank you so much!!
Can you do a deep dive video into Tretinoin and the best way to find the right routine. Weirdly, I'm over a month into Tretinoin use and it's like my skin just can't get enough of the stuff. No peeling, no crazy side effects, none of the crazy side effects I hear about in all the videos I find. I do need to figure out the right routine with other products to moisturize.
I seriously fell in love with your channel, especially compared to the other channels omg.
Omg Cassandra I am literally in LOVE with you and your channel. You have changed my life.
Hello beautiful people 🦋💜 I’m a aging butterfly and love your videos Cassandra! Especially glad you did one on this topic! Just had another MOHS procedure done and also going to have Photodynamic Therapy done and want to add a retinal when this is all done ✅ Listen to Cassandra 👍🏻 use your sunscreen!
Thank you so much for your videos, Cassandra! You are so informative and super fun to watch!!
You're amazing, Cassandra. You make skincare so fun and easy to understand. Your channel is a gem, I tell you
She does make it fun.
I couldn't agree more! She is the best!!
I am 27 and have normal/combo skin. My skin has mellowed out since I started taking care of it and it now leans more normal. Before I got into skincare I was more oily. I typical get breakouts on my cheeks and I'm trying to get more into anti aging skincare since I'm approaching my 30s so I really appreciate all the time and info your share with us for free!
Did you start using retinol?
Wow! This was soooo helpful, thank you!!! Also, your skin is really looking great!
I think I am the only person I know who does very well with tretinoin. My skin loves the stuff! When I first started it I used it once a week to start very cautiously and even now with skin used to it I still tend to every other to every day. If I use it on back to back days (nights) I will then skip one. I had a little bit of flaking at first about every 2 weeks but not bad. Then it stopped. I also started very, very slowly. I went from once a week, then twice a week and gradually built up over months.
Outside of the tretinoin question, Dr. Dray mentioned Eucerin with urea for the face, only available through Amazon because not made in the US. The stuff makes your face glow!!!!! With the tretinoin and the Eucerin with urea my skin care is perfect and at 58 now my skin is better than it has looked in years!
Wow 😯
I strive to be this confident with my skin. I’m using Adapelene as a retinoid and I’ve seen improvements but I can’t wait for how much better it will get with years of use.
I had such bad hormonal cystic acne I was desperate to get rid of it. I got Tretinoin .1% right off the bat, didn’t start with a low percentage, I used it daily from day one, and I didn’t have any problems with it whatsoever. I didn’t purge like most people do either, thank god. My acne was gone within two weeks, and I’m still using full strength every single night 🤷🏻♀️ I will be using Tretinoin daily for the rest of my freaking life. It has been a life changer for me
Very helpful video! Thank you. Good to hear im using the right products for me because it can be SO hard to actually know sometimes. Im dry, mildly sensitive with occasional break outs and switch off between Dermalogica Retinol Clearing Oil, Paulas Choice Barrier Rep. Retinol and Bliss Youth Got This Serum. And sometimes La Roche effaclar adapalene gel to spot treat acne.
Thank you so much for this video! Have been waiting and hoping you’d do exactly this!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and guiding us through the maze that is the beauty industry.
Cassandra, what a joy to see you! Confident and just putting the right stuff in our faces! Im a great fan of several names of Dr,. Derms. and Pres. I agree, Granactive retinoid in emylstion is GREAT! Another brand i love is Geek and Gorgeous A-game, Retinal in two strengths 0,5 and 1. Totally rules if ya want a acne-prone, and aged skin to Transform your face in no-time. They are not mattifyinhg, but thieir more mat.
thats my tips, from Sweden. ;) thank you Caz for a really "livley" channel with a sharp tongue. Love it!
Thank you for the Ordinary recommendations !🦋💖
I have been using the ink list retinol and I love it! I’m 29 and have fine lines and dry skin
Fellow esthetician here. I adore Dermalogica’s Multivitamin Power Serum, but it’s 70+ dollars now. It has micro encapsulated HPR, vitamin c, and e. It’s got a silicone texture, but it seriously melts into the skin and feels so silky. I’m curious to try out TO granactive emulsion, because the granactive in squalane was so greasy on my skin (combination with cystic breakouts). It felt like it never completely soaked in.
I figured out my skin care routine months ago but honestly I am just here for Cassandra's personality now xD
Love this video it was very informative and I have a normal to dry sensitive skin
I was just wishing for this video 😍! Thank you!
I love Acne Free’s adapalene; it absorbs nicely and helps my adult acne and oily skin. I hope it’s helping with fine lines and wrinkles. I hear different things, that it works for anti-aging, but also that there aren’t enough studies to show that it does.
10:26 is the Secret Cat! 🐈 love your vids Cassandra!❤️
I'm currently phasing in the ordinary granactive 2% retinoid. Almost onto using it every other day now. Very excited to see if it helps my skin!
the Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid serum dries pretty matte in my opinion and is super gentle! On my oily days, I'll use it without a moisturizer and it doesn't overly-dry while also not looking or feeling oily.
Adapalene gel is amazing I got the brand af i love it thank you for all your advice
We asked && you finally gave it to us!!! Only just starting it but hoping it helps me find a place to start
Thanks for sharing that AcneFree adapalene is cruelty free! I want tretinoin but should get back on the adapalene train first.
I am using Maelove and I love it. I will try your sugestiones for mature skin. Fantastic content once again.
Retinoids have always been some of the most interesting topics to talk about. I've always been very intrigued to try Tazarotene, but sadly, it's not available in my country. We only have Adapalene, Tretinoin and Isotretinoin.
My skin was extremely sensitive back then, but after using Benzoyl Peroxide, it became so resilient, that every Retinoid that i tried never irritated my skin, except for 0.1% Tretinoin gel. Adapalenewas the first retinoid that i tried, but it didn't do much on my acne. I used it for 6 months and barely saw any results. Then i switched to 0.05% Tretinoin cream, and it was even much less effective. It just felt like applying a greasy cream that made me look like an oil tank every time i woke up, and i have a combination skin. 4 months later, i switched to 0.1% Tretinoin cream. Same with the 0.05%, i barely saw any results, and i hated how greasy it felt on the skin.
Then, i switched to the 0.1% gel version almost 2 months ago. It didn't irritate my skin upon application, but i always woke up with a few dry patches around my chin, cheekbones and near my nose area. My skin didn't turn red nor was it highly irritated like it did when i first used Benzoyl Peroxide. But it made my eye area sting like crazy whenever i wore sunscreen. Thankfully, i found Bioré UV Athlizm 3 weeks ago. It's currently the only sunscreen that doesn't sting my eye area. And i'm glad i switch to the gel version because it's currently the only acne treatment that is effective, especially since Benzoyl Peroxide has become much less effective than it used to be.
Yes! Thank you for this video!
You are so so fun to watch. Informative and fun that I had to leave this comment. Haha. Thanks for this video. 😊
My favourite is the no7 advanced complex retinol 1,5% it is so nice for my dry skin
Perfect video!!!! Thank you beautiful!
Very informative video! Thank you ❤️
Used Adapalene, didn’t see a difference, but didn’t irritate. Use Paula’s choice that you mentioned and inkey list, both don’t irritate and it’s nice. Waiting on Curology to use.
I recently discovered brand Geek & Gorgeous, they have wonderful retinal serums, that are affordable, vegan, cruelty free (and for those who suffer from seborhea and have sensitive skin, also fragrance and drying alcohol free + Malassezia-safe). They don't use parabens, sulfates, etc. but at the same time say they don't believe in toxicity of these ingredients and don't support any form of fearmongering. The brand tells you exactly the percentage of actives in their products, which I appreciate. Absolutely recommend!
I love this brand too! Use the stress less and c glow serums and I want to use their retinal too :)
I am so happy to have discovered you Cassandra 😊, I am 42, been using LRP Retinol for a year, I can see that my forehead fine lines are down to one and my skin has more glow. I don't have pigmentation, only some fine lines due to facial expressions, yes I love laughing with my all 😄. I tried Paula's Choice Retinol+Bakuchiol, but did not work for me, it dried my skin (I have dry and sensitive skin). Now, I am ready to switch and splurge on Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense. I'd love to try a prescription one but where I live it's difficult to get one, only if I go to private dermatologist. otherwise, I don't stay much in the sun, almost at all and only on my way to work, see friends etc...otherwise since I was a teenager I was addicted to creams because of my dry and sensitive skin :)
I use the gentle retinol cream from Good Molecules, and it's fantastic! I have dry skin and it helps so much, and on days I use the cream I add bakuchiol to my squalene.
I like this woman, great talker
I'm not typically sensitive, but adapalene broke me out bad. I knew it would happen to an extent, but I was trying to deal with textured scars (some from acne, some from chicken pox) and I wound up getting a bunch of PIH after I'd carefully, diligently, laboriously gotten rid of all my old PIH. I did everything the way Dr. Dray said but I got hit hard. I also didn't love not being able to use my favorite actives at the same time. I quit after a couple of weeks, not long enough to know if it would have worked in the long term. I decided to keep focusing on PIH and breakout prevention and stick to sea buckthorn oil, etc. for retinol. I'm hesitant to try more retinoids but I may try that Ordinary one at a low %. If it's low enough that I can tolerate it, I don't mind waiting a lot longer for results, especially at a good price point. I have very little concern about aging because my family ages like fine wine on both sides, but I don't love my boxcar scars.
I just bought my first retinoid, perfect timing :)
I had to stop the video after seeing apply whatever you were applying. Can I just say, how beautiful you are! (And knowledgeable and kind and critical but in a good way) 🥰
I've been using adapalene for 5 years now and I've definitely have experienced improvements. I get way less breakouts now, sometimes even nothing in months. My pores look smaller and less visible. My PIH from past breakouts are completely gone. I am so thankful for this product because it has simplified my routine. I don't use other actives or other chemical exfoliants anymore. Although I do still use glycolic acid once a week.
That’s awesome, I been on the adepelene journey for a few months now and while I’ve seen improvements already with daily use (and meds) im excited for having that type of skin that won’t have breakouts for months… that’s a dream for me. I don’t use any active acids anymore because it can irritate the skin but I was wondering when do you use glycolic acid once a week? Like when u take a day break from Adapelene or in the morning before using Adapelene?
@@goodgriefff I use the glycolic in the morning. I use the one from the ordinary.
I’m 37 and just started my adapalene tonight! Still get some break outs right before that time of the month, hoping this will help! I am normally very sensitive and dry which it why I wanted to use adapalene instead of tretinoin
@@Miumiu0404 does it help with anti aging? Though i've acne and hyperpigmentation.
@@KB-sf6nt how is it going?
I use differin gel and I used cerave retinol and neutropenia rapid wrinkle repair and their oil retinol one too and I loved those.
I'm 24 and wanting to start using retinol! Currently I just got and been using stratia's night shift cream with 0.15% retinol. So far it's been really gentle and hadn't had any downsides yet! Thanks for this video guide, I'm quite curious of what else I could use for my retinol journey :D
Same age. I just started cuz I have fine lines under my eyes. How is it going?
@@blacklipstick0239 I think its going ok so far, I do notice a little bit of purging so I'm really hoping its going to clear up soon the more I use it.
Medik8 is great. Makes my skin feel so nice, however, after buying several tubes, from 3, 6 and the highest 10 versions I'm looking for a cheaper alternative because I have to feed my family as well!
I’ve tried so many retinol products but always go back to The Ordinary Granactive . So excited to see you recommend it
The Ordinairy Granactive is the best !!
I’m 24 going to be 25 in June. I’ve been wanting to get into retinol but my skin is sensitive AF!! Thank you so much for this video! So helpful!
If your skin is also dry I recommend the paulas choice bakuchiol and retinol combo cream (or the versed retionol, it also has bakuchiol in it).... it worked wonders on my sensitive skin, i pretty much cant handle anything
Wonderful video, Thank you, Dear ❤🎉😊
I learn so much from Cassandra.
Omg cass u saved my sensitive ass skin like fr i am 75% dermatologist thanks to u , my skincare routine is perfect , morning= vit c cleanser , toner , ordinary vit c with hyla acid , and moisturiser, my night routine= oil cleanser , tea tree exfoliating cleanser lactic acid (i used to use retinol but i will adjust in in my routine again ) and moisturiser .
LMAO DW I didn’t forget the sunscreen
I wanted to ask how do i adjust the retinol in my routine? Like its one day vit c in the morning and the other night lactic acid .
Hi Cassandra, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 is definitely mattifying, and I have oily skin. Not much use though, as I obviously only use it at night, but since you asked 😅
You are amazing cass!!😇
Hi, Cassandra! Can you make a video about the Facetheory brand and products? I'm interested if I can combine The Ordinary and Facetheory lines in my skincare and how it can works together. Hope to hear from you, xoxo ^^
Can you do a video with a skincare routine for people on a budget and just starting a very basic grouping of products that will help but aren’t too expensive or hard to find
Avene Retrinal is excellent!
Love this!! So helpful. I’ve looked & searched everywhere & cannot find your video comparing curology with the other brands 😩 (I use curology so I’m especially curious) can you link it somewhere plsss ❤️
Cassandra Bankson - in response to your question about a retinol product with a matte finish, you could try the “No B.S. Skincare” line’s Retinol Night Cream. In fact, I would SUPER interested to hear your thoughts/see you post a review of the No B.S Skincare line overall. Curious if their products live up to their marketing and if all the claims are true.
In my twenties but I’ve been using Retin-A micro 0.04% _(0.04% Retinoic Acid in Microspheres)_ for years now. It really transformed my skin and enhances every other product in my routine.
I still get some pimples around the time of my period so I’ve tried using stronger percentages of Tretinoin in the past but I find the benefits don’t really outweigh the disadvantage of making the skin more sensitive & prone to dehydration.
I’ve found the combo of using 0.04% Tretinoin Micro at night and using OTC Adapalene in the morning is PERFECT for my skincare needs around the time of my period. It’s so wonderful.
Kitten appears at 10:22. I have been really afraid to try retinols, but this is helping me decide to try it. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have dry, mature skin with hyperpigmentation, melasma and rosacea. Before going to Agency's Tretinoin, I used Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 10. It is a 0.1% Retinal serum, very hydrating and never caused any irritation for my skin. I was shocked at how smooth my skin began to feel.💖💖💖
I just got Cerave retinol. I will see it goes. Medik8 sounds good. Think I will try that after.
Hi Cassandra 😊 I do know a retinoid that’s matte ! Retinal from avene 😊 the oxidative line 🙏🏾
10:22 kitten in the lower left corner 😸
Never seen anyone abuse the like button like him🤭
Thanks for all the hard work you do Cassandra 💕
my first retinoid was HPR. I loooooooooooooveee it!!!! It makes my skin smoothhhhh. I first used it once a week, and gradually built up to every night. Now I want to try retinAl.
Both my daughter and I now use adapaline gel based on your recommendation. Love the stuff. My daughter's acne is so much better! Not sure about my wrinkles yet, but it's helping some of my hyperpigmentation. ❤️
Hii ! Did it helped with your hyperpigmentation what about acne too?
@@mamtaarora7174 it absolutely helps with acne. I'm not sure how much it helped with the hyperpigmentation, but I also use Pycnogynol , so it does.
@@NissaMaezHartman okaay. :) how is your daughter's acne now with adapeline?
@@mamtaarora7174 It's so much better. It seems to get worse the first month or so, but then it helps a ton! She only gets occasional hormonal breakouts. Her face looks great! I highly recommend it for acne.
@@NissaMaezHartman thankyou so much :) i m very happy for your daughter but actually i am worried that i have acne n only spots so whether it will help with spots or not though m using niacinamide.
Can you do a video explaining what each form of retinol is under the retinoid family tree?
Friends- Geek and Gorgeous retinal is $15-ish and so so so good. I wish Cassandra would review their line.
My retinol is running out and was thinking about getting a retinal, so I'm going to try the Geek&Gorgeous :)
@@CinnamonGirl0 you won’t be sorry. They have two strengths and I just stepped up to the ten and no irritation, nicer formula than avene at $60 more. Good luck!!
@@kckc4955 I can't wait to try it! And yeah, I use the Paula's Choice 1% that's also expensive so this seems like a great alternative! I just bought the 10 too, I think my skin can handle it because i've been using retinol for 3+ years
@@CinnamonGirl0 you will love it if you can tolerate the PC 1%. I’m so happy I found this little company💙💛
Have you used it to combat acne?
Perfect timing 💙🦋
Thanks for using cruelty free branda
Constant and careful use of retinol has changed my life and skin for the best! I've used the Cos de Baha one for almost 3 years, do you think you can make a review of this Korean brand?
I remember trying Drunk Elephant’s A Passioni Retinol cream 2 years ago. It was a mess. The irritation and breakouts I got due to the amount of “other” supporting ingredients they shoved in there. NIOD’s modulating glucosides saved me from that mess. I’m now using 0.1% Tretinoin Microsphere Gel and never looked back. My advice is if you’re just introducing a retinoid in your routine, try and look for a retinol with minimal ingredients list because if you start with a retinol product with several other supporting ingredients, you wouldn’t know if you’re just purging, allergic or irritated.
I sooo remember the drunk elephant retinol 😢 it was the actual worst ! I had red skin for real 😢! It was only 1% but it Shute felt has though it was a 10 !!! It was the actual worst 😅
Now I use the retinol 1% in oil and let me tell you, it was this actual product that erased that trauma 🎉
So glad I read this comment cause I was really like "ohh yeah let's get that Paula's Choice shit" then because of you paused on the ingredients and it has licorice and soy and a whole load of shit that would ruin me. Gonna see if I keep tolerating the ordinary squalane then get the retinol one if I do.
Love your channel
I so love your ch.
A cheaper but great option for retinAl (either in 0.05% or 0.1% strength) is Geek&Gorgeous. Avene also have some, but they are not cruelty-free.
I am not sure why this product (G&G) is not more hyped. I LOVE it for my oily acne prone skin. LOOOVE it!!!!
@@darinamaleeva8212 did it help you with acne and if yes how long does it take...neeeed help
Updated skincare routine please 😊
I needed this
Hi. Love your channel. I find the Retivance by Suzan Obagi MD leaves a matte finish. Also says Obagi Medical at the top of the tube. It is a retinaldehyde product plus vitamin C and E.
I love kiels retinol. Not matte but super gentle
I've got pretty normal tough skin and the acne free adapelene worked great for my millia and fine lines. In Ireland we can't get adapelene in store only on prescription so I buy on Amazon
I use tretinoin 0.1% for about five years. It took me one entire year to get use to it, but now I can use tretinoin + glycolic every other day. I started to use it for my acne but now I use it for the anti-aging. Love from Brasil 💙
Ue.. pode usar retinol e glygolic acid juntos ?
@@revenge217 Poder pode, mas aí vai de cada um. Hoje uso só tretinoína todos os dias 🥰
@@marcellolima6 tretinoina é o mesmo que isotretinoína?
@@revenge217 Não, isotretinoina é um medicamento oral, tretinoína é de uso tópico.
@@marcellolima6 ok
I stopped using the retinoid and retinol products from the ordinary because I found it too oily for my skin. The ones I do love are the good molecules retinol cream and retinol from the Inkey list was also very good. My new favourite is from a Korean brand called Bellflower which created a retinol cream. This in comparison to the Inkey list and the good molecules retinol cream is super light weight and it absorbs a lot quicker into the skin. I suggest you try this out if you like K-beauty products.
I use Hers which is a blend of tretinoin, nicianmide and azeliac acid
Hey Cassandra !!! ❤️
My faves are the ordinary’s granactive retinol and naturium’s retinol cream. I didn’t have irritation with either and both are very effective.
hi you had any acnes?
Yes, but very mild.
Replenix Retinol 5x Regenerate Dry Serum is a matte retinol 🙂
I use Apostrophe 0.025% tretinoin 3 days a week & the PC 1% retinol the other days ☺️
I have slightly oily skin with some dry patches and the best retinoid I have aver used is called Epiduo. I got it prescribed from my dermatologist and it is 1mg/g of Adapalene + 25mg/g of Benzoyl peroxide in a Gel formulation. It leaves my skin completely matt and I have no breakouts if I apply it one or twice a week at night. That being said, sun is very dangerous in the first weeks of using it (even when using 50+ sunscreen) so I would avoid it for a while to prevent the peeling that happen to me!
Thank you 😊
Pleeaaase do a review about Granactive Retinoid 5% from the ordinary ❤️
I want to add a retinoid, but I’m also nervous about the sun sensitivity. I apply sunscreen every day, but, just being honest here, I don’t reapply it during the day 99% of the time. So I know I shouldn’t add something that’s gonna make my skin even more sensitive to the sun when I’m just not willing to reapply sunscreen the way I’m supposed to.
