I'm Asian but I don't have any issues with Tretinoin. There's actually a group of Tretinoin users here and they're doing fine after the purging stage.
I'm Asian too, and even 0.05% retinol irritates my skin.. even though I have tried adapalene , it's still not suitable for me.
I use 0.1% from last 4 years and I'm doing just fine i don't even get red skin anymore
i took tretinoin for 2 months, that is 40g a day or 4 10g. im so glad i ddnt hve a breakout in those 2mos. just terrible dryness.
@@mariumrehman8391sameeeee it gets so red and itchy the next day i just stop using it which is just a huge waste of money
Well you don't represent all asians...😅
First professional I’ve EVER heard say they would “never” recommend tretinoin.
He literally said he will not "use", not "recommend". And he listed reasons (sensitive skin and asian skin), which OBVIOUSLY he has.
@@myribstellmesheslying I think it’s obvious that if he won’t use it as a skin doctor because it’s irritable to a lot of skin types, then he’s not recommending it…
@@adua78just because it won’t work on you doesn’t mean it won’t work on others.
I don't think that is what he said, he said "he would never use" not that he won't recommend especially since many others tolerate it well and it's really good
He’s full of crap
Tretinoin is a Gamechanger and we shall remain besties forever! Vitamin C and Niacinamide are also great on my skin too.
The niacinamide is really just based on your skin type. If your skin can handle it, it will work wonders, I’ve been using the 10% from the ordinary and it is really changing my skin. I love it!
Same here
Same here..
What is your skin type?
@@unpopularopinion_mhWell I know you are not asking me but I use 10% Niacinamide serum and it works WONDERS for my skin it's much more glowy and less acne
I could say my skin type is oily/acne prone but always do a patch test before trying anything new
@@skeletonpet848810% also Works very well for me too and I have extremely dry skin!
Lucky me, my skin has adapted so well with Tretinoin and 10% Niacinamide. Been using those 2 for 10 months and the result is amazing
How do you use them?
@Catchmeifyoucan_ when I used tretinoin for the first time, I didn't use any serum at all. I did the sandwich method (moisturizer-tret-moist) for about 2 months. And for the rest 8 months my skin has already adapted with tret, so after I clean my face, I use the 10%Niacinamide serum and then the tretinoin and then the moisturizer.
@@johk123 thank you for taking the time to reply and explain 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@johk123 do you mind me asking, what’s is your skin type? Do you have any acne ?
@Catchmeifyoucan_ I have oily skin type, and yes, I had acne problems before using the tretinoin. Now I have no acne problems for 4 months. If you plan to use tretinoin, please go slow and low at first. My biggest mistake with tretinoin at first time was that I use it daily, and in the first month of use, my face got irritated and purged a lot.
I’m chinese.. no problem w tretinoin. Just dont rush the process. I used 0.025% a tube bef going to 0.05%. I started with mixing with rich moisturizer (eg cerave) for 2-3 years bef started to apply directly. Take yr time. Still using 0.05%.
Kindly tell the benefits you got from it
@@RahulSingh-cg9jr Definitely not wrinkle free. From my own observation Wrinkle seems less deeper and skin seems not thinning. If the condition can stay status quo as I aged, I m happy already.
@@stanleyk168 nice it's been 2 months my skin feel kinda improved the whiteheads and blackheads on my nose are gone there is a little purging but I know it will clear thanks a lot for your update 🙏
I agree! As an esthetician I steer clients towards retinaldehyde. It’s only one conversion away from Retinoic acid, is much more gentle on the skin and well tolerated by all skin types. All vitamin A should be followed or paired with a great moisturizer. The worst thing you can do for your skin is use products that disrupt your natural skin barrier without replacing it. That’s where so many skin conditions develop, using too harsh of products.
What retinaldehyde do you suggest? I love your comment!
With the vitamin C more than 20%, as long as it is not an active vitamin C like L-absorbic acid then it's safe to use. Like the product from Paula's choice they use more than 20% of vit C but it is an inactive vitamin C. So it won't irritate your skin.
I agree about Niacinamide and Vit C, but Tretinoin for me is my holy grail!
Tretinoin worked a lot better for my skin than Adapalene. However, the purge period was very painful and irritating. But eventually you’re able to just apply it without noticing any irritation.
Do you use adapalene on all ur skin or just the places where you have acne ? Also can I know if when using it you use the sandwich method ( moisturizer first then adapalene)?
Amazing ! Simple easy and straight to the point , i am CONFUSED theres so many actives and i feel like im lost the dermatologist i went to prescribed many things that didn't work well , so i decided to give some product a try i love the ordinary products they work well but for the dosage i heart its too high , after reading the ordinary website the products are meant to be mixed almost like chemists youd work your own formula , sadly my knowledge is very limited to yt video and articles online so i am glad were having doctors online explain , for me i suffer from acnee scar ALL OVER LY FACE especially cheeks area , niacinamide worked well but it caused me to break out so i stopped using it , salicylic acid from cerave is amazing and does it job , sincerly i wish for a miracle product that would work on everything and get applied only once a week im tired of having a schedule for my skin care , retinol makes me purge and adapalene is new for me i just started it lately
I love tretinoin , I have very oily texture skin my skin is soo happy now
Ditto! The stuff is amazing.
So thankful for you to mention that about tretinoin.. im indian but my skin cannot handle tret, it barely handles adapalene.. definitely following
I use 0.025% of tretinon gel...not have any side affect so far.
That's the lowest percentage.
your dermatologist did you right! always good to start low and work your way up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@shovanabajracharya That is not the lowest percentage. When I started tretinoin I was started at 0.15%. Curology stated me at 0.02%. They can actually mix it at whatever percentage they deem appropriate. O.025% just happens to be the lowest pre-formulated percentage. But for personalized formulas they can make it lower than that.
@@safirog1226 I was talking about the percentage we find on over the counter ointment type medication.
@@shovanabajracharyawhich is still much stronger than adapalene so it would definitely be strong enough to cause side effects in some people
I love u doctor. I'm so glad I found you
You are right , I used 10% niacinamide, it damaged my skin
Same
me too, super irritating and redness-inducing for me
I agree. I don't know what percentage I used but it gave me hives.
Use plum 10% Niacinamide it's super soothing
for me it’s working good eveyone skin type os diff
Yessss agree!! Finally somebody says this!
I tried the 23% vitamin C serum and I got totally irritated and red 😂
Omg 😭🤣
Why would you do that, 😭
Cos I tried the 15% vitamin C serum and it works, however upon higher percentage, the irritation really comes up...
@@estellawong365 now you lowering the percentage of vit C?
@@ayoicikelon03 Yup. Back to 10% vitamin C..
I find Tretinion works better for my acne. Adaplene is ineffective on my skin. There is little research for using adaplene for wrinkles, it is used for acne treatment.
Thank you for all the good advice ❤
I do all of those things! I use retinol now, but I’m about to start treat, I use a high vitamin C, and I love my 10% niacinamide!
It’s great your skin can tolerate those high %. I have very sensitive skin and my skin seems to be fine with my 5% niacinamide serum and I use a copper peptides serum instead of vitamin c cause I had some mild irritation.
Thank you. Such great information!
Yes! I have pretty tough skin and take care of it very well. Using The Ordinary’s niacinamide serum messed up my skin pretty bad, I broke out in tiny bumps on my cheeks and had pretty bad itching. Very high concentration using it everyday proved my point of using it everyday would mess my skin up 😮💨
I am Asian who loves Tretinoin! Infact I didn’t even purge on tret. I purged on Adapalene. But personally skin looks and feels better after tret than adapalene
I've purged a little on my chin with .05 tretinoin. I did not purge on the .025. My skin is looking so much better on tret than on retinol.
My skin does not agree well with adapalene but has been great with Tret.
Instant redness with 10% niacinamide. Mixed 2-3drops with moisturiser and no issues after that (1week ongoing). Didn’t use niacinamide for a while and my skin is so dry(probably my skin not hydrated enough cuz of retinol?)
Im very mixed, Asian/white/black, my Asian parts are East and South East Asian.
My derm is Asian and she recommended tret for me. I can’t use it daily, but I use it every second day without issue :) I’m on a low dose, and it’s impossible for me to use everyday.
Treat is the GOAT of all skincares, apparently. Which I agree as this is the only thing which fixed most of my skin issues. At 6 months now. Just rmb that less is more.
I'm half Asian and I don't have any issues with serums or other skincare products with high amounts of niacinamide. It's actually been the most effective skincare ingredient for me.
you're 100% right I used tretenoin and it damaged my skin as well as darkened my skin and there's lot of tiny pimples
don't use tretenoin
Same here
Whoa. I am not Asian but very light complected. I use it and have for years and I have some dark spots but thought it was possible Sun spots because I’m 42 now. Could you tell the difference? I hope that’s not what caused it. Thank you for your help
@@Starnote16 yk that I used it for more than three months and I'm totally regretful about it what it does to my skin is totally damage before it my skin used to look like more pinkish and alive and after it it just increased fat tissues in inner layer and tiny bumps on face
My mother(60) had the same issue with retinol.. ruined her skin with darksoots that have taken years to lighten.. she has sworn off of retinol family.. I too only use adapalene as spot treatment now
@@dr.k1012 is adapelene good?!
Am asian and my skin love tretinoin ❤
Cosrx vitamin c 23 is one of the best serums i have find.
The first ever video where my sensitively skin condition was acknowledged. I mean those are great products for whole lot of people but just didn’t work for me (vit c, 10% niacinamide and tretinoin)
Hey there. Together with you on this. I have been seeing people using products and having a good skincare routine whereas I sit with my sensitive and dry skin. Just washing my face with plain water and using a moisturizer. That's it.
I had no issues with tretinoin at all which was a surprise.
I use the first two and they made my skin beautiful
I used Retinol at night..niacinamide serum plus suncreen in the morning...
I had learn so much from this chanel ...❤❤❤❤
That was helpful but pl share few brands
I remember my body piercer back in Asia and her friend were telling me that Asian skin is thinner. Makes sense why all these chemicals are so much harsher for us, and explains why people back home dont like all these western active ingredient products
I love this doctor.
Everything he says is damn right ✅️
Tretinoin comes with a list of steps for success. Adapalene was great for me and I moved up to tretinoin. My skin is pretty great so I didnt have to be on tretinoin for long and now I use OTC retinol.
If you tolerate tretinoin, why did u get off it? It’s the gold standard in the retinoid world for lifetime use.
@@adua78maybe cause of the price? Or cause it's not that easy to get? If you're young and have great skin, I'd save my money of the few years you don't need it and start it again with 30 maybe. But idk why they did it
I rarely find short videos that add Indonesian subtitles, thanks
Fantastic Doctor
THANK YOU! I'm Norwegian with the most sensitive porcelain skin.
I used all three of the products you recommended not to use. My skin is great. Skin care is individualized clearly
True with Niacinamide. I am able to tolerate Tretinoin 0.05 and Azelaic Acid 20%. I have sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The technique is just to keep your skincare simple.
Tretinoin from O.25 to 0.1 in 3 months no irritation on my face i dont use sandwich method, Double Cleanes, Apply 2 pie size tretrinoin and then apply Hyrolanic acid + Vitamin E moisturizer
Thanks Doc
I use all of that products, didn't have any problems but I also slathered huge amount of HA and occlusive moisturiser on my skin after that 😅❤
I'm asian and tretinoin is my holy grail! it healed my skin after having really bad acne. I don't use it anymore since I stopped having break outs and my skin is clearer than ever
And here i'm in my fourth bottle (cosrx 23%) and i really love how it fades my acne scar and give glowy skin due to other ingredients like hyaluronic acid.. initially skeptical about its percentage but i'v been using vit c for many years now so it didn't cause any reaction.... only cons is its smell which i am ok as long as it does perform well on my skin
10% niacinamide is good it works and doesn't irritate I think it depends upon formulation.
I have psoriasis and tretinoin has been my life saver. I sometimes use it on my scalp too.
Tret is amazing and I’m still using it. There are ways to use it without irritating your face. 🤷🏻♀️
I use adapalene! It’s really skin friendly
I’m Asian and been using tretinoin for 5 years. Best decision ever made for my skin care. My skin is great
I use 10 % niacinamide serum daily at night and it’s doing wonders for me cause from last 2 yrs I have severe acne which comes back again and again and I have tried everything then after some research I got to know about 2 ingredients which is I can say best for every skin type for active acne I use benzoyl peroxide gel cream every night after moisturising my face and it cleared my acne in just one week and for the red marks I got from those acne I use niacinamide 10% serum only at night and then put moisturiser and then lock in with vaselline gelly and in one month my skin got cleared 😊
Tretinoin did me purging like irritation for 6 months of usage then i stopped for 2 months to make my skin heal and now i use it 1ce a week or after 3 days sometimes and its all going well. I love it
I love tretinoid. Skin looks like glass
I am using 10percent niacinamide it doesn't harm me and also using salysilic
But my dermatologist had prescribed tretinoin (Retiderm) for my acne. And I am Asian. And also you're recommending Simple 10% niacinamide serum in your other video.
hi there, i am asian and use tretinoin too. even though asian skin more prone to tretinoin irritation, it doesn't mean apply to all asian skin, some asian are fine with tretinoin. if you afraid of irritation, you can try test patch first on skin behind your ear for few days. if nothing happen you can start apply on your face. Or if you don't want to use tretinoin tell your doctor, they may have another alternatif
Thank you doctor ❤️
I have a combination skin type, and i am using niacinamide 15% it reduces my oilyness and pores.
Agree with you.. i had bad experience with tret and high dose vit C
I disagree on the tretinoin part...its the biggest game changer if used in a correct way...to reduce the chances of irritation, go for 0.025% and do it only thrice a week and can go for sandwich method(moisturiser - tretinoin - moisturiser)
I use Retin-A it’s the best. Skin irritation / peeling is normal after a few application but it will get better. I’m not going to spend my money on retinols cos they’re are expensive and less effective
Adapalene never worked for me and Tretinoin did work and much faster rate. You still
Have to talk to dermatologist to know what’s best for your skin
Thanks for tip about using high doses of niacinamide and vitamin c.😊👌🇿🇦🇿🇦
I currently use the 23% vitamin C by COSRX without any issues.
I am asian and it's been 5 months i have been using tretenoin i didn't even purge.just minor skin peeling and mild redness i have.and my acne sacras and texture is improving gradually
Good info...thank you
Hi, The Good Doc' is this good for Black women??? Will be glad to hear from you again 🙏🙏🙏
Im an asian , and i use tretinoin, and my skin skin doing so well
Ive had more wrinkles with tretinoin. Maybe because My skin is thin. With retinyl palmitate or retinol at most i'm perfect.
Adapalene is NOT for wrinkles!!! It is ONLY for Acne!!! I use prescription Tretinoin Cream at 0.01 % the Highest strength! And it has absolutely changed MY SKIN!!! I will NEVER be without it!!! I also use Prescription Azelaic acid Gel cream at 15 %, it's also great! Just because it doesn't work for YOU doesn't mean it won't work for OTHER People!!! I go to a Board Certified Dermatologist, I don't take advice from a TH-cam Dermatologist! I Highest suggest others don't either!
I have been using 10% Niacinamide. My skin got worse with redness purging dryness itching so I took a break and now started using it with a moisturiser and now I think it’s getting better. My skin is better now I think I’m getting used to 10%. I wish I knew this earlier
@almyandco plz reply .. I m using 10%niacinimide every alternate days and applying moisturiser every day is it ok ?
@@adityamore3474 it really depends how you skin will react to it. Obe thing that I gained from my experience was that 10% is too high and you definitely need a moisturiser with it, mix it or use a light layer of moisturiser before it and alternate days are good as your skin gets used to it. Lastly it requires a lot of patience a lot that you would think it’s making no difference but it will eventually!
@@aimyandco thank you
I've been using cerave vitamin C it's made my skin look rough and discoloured under my eyes, stopped using it yesterday 🙁
Actually asian skin is thicker and therefore has a better tolerance with tretinoin
Adapalene was harder on my skin than tretinoin i even had swellon eyes if i used it with a peasized amount.
Tretinoin was very gentle but didn't do much after 4 months of use.
Been using tretinion from past 1 yr. Acne vanished, even skin tone, smoother skin, hyperpigmentation faded. I am indian I can vouch for tretinion. If used with precautions it will not irritate your skin.
Your percentage?
Can you please tell me is it true that skin tightness is a sign that your actives are destroying your facial fat tissues?
I believe you. Adapalene worked so much better for me, it has been 2 years now. Tretinoin broke me out like crazy, and that's coming from a typical dusky Indian.
I use all 3 for years..no problem here
I used niacinminde 10% and tretnoin together. Doesnt affect my skin at all
I've had no issues with tretinoin and I'm Vietnamese
Is there any other ingredient with tretinon which decreases its side effects. Please share it with us
Yes the vit c u x out is painful to use even on days I haven’t had retin a or retinol for 24 hours or more.
⚠️🚨DOC PLEASE HELP ME!! 🚨⚠️ I am 34, black/light skin woman, I have never had acne in my whole life, but suddenly I’ve developed very bad acne around my jaw line and checks as soon as I turned 30. At first I thought it was due to wearing masks, but my acne has persisted even now that I don’t wear them anymore. Then I thought it was due to diet but still no change, so I guess it’s down to hormones. The problem is that I don’t want to take any contraceptives, nor I want to take accutane. I have oily, sensible acne prone skin. What can I do to treat this acne ? I went to a dermatologist, she gave me differing and it burned my whole face, then some antibacterial soap and acne antibiotics to no avail. What are my other options? please 🙏🏾🙏🏾 help meee😩😩🙏🏾
have you tried spironolactone?
have you tried spironolactone and tretinoin? heard the combination of two is great for hormonal acne
@@diiarno no I haven’t, I have 0,25% tretinoin at home but I am scared to use it 😩 I will try for find the other one you’ve mentioned, thank you 🙏🏾 would you mind sharing how I would use them in conjunction and the percentage pls 🙏🏾❤️
Ordinary 10% niacinamide dont works for me. I have combination skin type. But niacinamide 15% works for me
Dr.Idriss also will not recommend the ordinary 10% niacemide.
20 percent niacinamide here for 2 years. My skin is great.
i agree and i suggest dont use anything on your skin
Thank God about the Niacinamide... 10% always gives me discolouration after just 3 uses... I've been on 5% for 7 months . No problems
Well, as somebody who had his breakouts starting at age of 14, i went to a skincare doctor and got a discription to tretnoin gel.
Used it for 2 weeks and the breakout of hell started 😅.
Now i got the explaination for it.
Since i had that problem till today 9 months after it had accured, im still taking isotretnoin tablets wich i will be ending this week.
Hopes i dont get breakouts
That would destroy my skin more than it has been lately.
I ❤ tretinoin! Absolutely wonderful!!!!!
You look younger now
adapalene irritated the hell out of my skin and it resulted in dermatitis, I'm on tretinoin, had good purging for three months but still so much better than adapalene tbh
Amazong ...and very true !!
Adapalene seems only useful for acne skin. Tretioin is more benefits than that so I'm using tretioin anyway 😢
Wow thnks for this video...what do you think of WASO YUZU-C Glow-On Shot??is tht vit c too
I get being cautious with Tret, but people are so concerned about irritability they’re willing to trade off effectiveness.
