You could not look more beautiful! Your skin is glowing.
Melissa, you are beautiful and you have a beautiful soul! You are such a wonderful inspiration to all of us. Love you! Jean
what I'm doing when I peel too much at the morning, I put a moisturizing mask for 20 minutes after I clean my face with soft scrub peeling it's miraculous, no more dead skins. I use retin a for 20 years
Oh thank you so much for that hint! I appreciate it. xxx, Melissa
Do you use retin a in summer? It's get really hot around 115-120. Some months are very humid too.
Will appreciate your insight on this
I have been watching videos obsessively looking for answers about dealing with the peeling and yours is by far the best! ❤️
Your skin just looks Fantastic!! I swear you look 35!!! I am just in awe of you! You are such a beautiful Lady.....Inside and out!! Loved this video very informative!! Thank you for the info...Love you to Pieces! Joye
Oh girl, I just love you! I was just thinking the same thing watching your video. Wow does your skin ever glow! Love you, Joye. You are a joy to me for sure. Love you, Melissa
I agree she does look 35, she is just beautiful!!
@@Melissa55 Melissa I have only just come across your TH-cam channel now, your skin looks amazing!! have you used only Retin A, or had any other treatments or fillers or anything else to help sagging skin ? I'm 37 and have got sagging in face, was looking into what I can do. Do you use anything else products or treatments (not make up) along side Retin A? Also could you tell me which one you use? Thanks xx
You look Beautiful!
I’m 30 and have just started using retin A!
I hope it works as much on me as it has on you. You look absolutely fantastic!
Xxx
Thank you for your videos Melissa! You are helping my skin journey *so* much and I want you to know how much your work is appreciated ♥️
I get soooo excited when I see you have a new video up---I MISS you in between---LOL!!
aw, thanks so much, Carol!!! You are so sweet and I appreciate it so much. Love, Melissa
Melissa, I know this is an old video, but I just had to say how darling you are. You had me smiling and laughing along with you when you were saying, "then try this"... I knew you were sincere and so refreshing. You are beautiful inside and out. Bless you, sweet Melissa!
I just love how sweet and genuine you are! God Bless!
Oh thank you so much! That is so kind! Love, Melissa

Thank you so much, Anne. I hope your Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful. Love to you melissa
I'm thankful for you too Melissa. You give me courage to fight this aging battle. Say hello to Doug and Family and Oliver of course. Love, Kelly💗
aw, thank you so much, Kelly. You always brighten my day and I am thankful for you. Love Melissa
I am stunned that you're over 60! Beautiful and lovely caring personality. Thanks for the Retin A tips!
Your skin is absolutely stunning! I'm 33 and noticing big changes beginning in my skin so I've started a 0.025% Retin-A just this past week. I'm really happy with my decision when I see people that have had such great success like you. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences!
Hey Lauren. You know, I was your age when I started using Retin A, too. I do think it has served me well. About eight years later I started on Obagi and that kicked it up a notch. But I feel like you are really taking excellent care of your skin and creating a really good base to fight aging. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
You're just so gorgeous, Melissa! Thank you SO much for all of your informative and fascinating videos.
You are LITERALLY the reason why I started Tretinoin last week. Stunning.
I am s sporatic with Retin A....If I knew my skin would look like yours I'd be so faithful! Love you...xoxo patti 🎀
aw, thanks, Patti, but girl, your skin is to die for. It's flawless. Thank you and love you, Melissa
I agree. She has beautiful skin and is just beautiful period!
rxstrmom you also have beautiful skin and you are so beautiful , I'm sporadic too with Retin a . Melissa Thankyou for the great information
You don't need it! it's gonna thin your skin. I am sure thereare wayy better things out there for you
I looove Retina a start lower and keep working up it’s amazing my wrinkles are going away so fast miracle treatment
Great advice Melissa. Your skin is beautiful. So sweet of you to share your experiences and techniques with Retin A. I hope you and your family have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving.
aw, thank you so much!!! I hope you have such a wonderful and joyous holiday season coming up. You are so kind and you deserve any and all blessings coming your way. Love and thanks,, Melissa
Thank you for all the suggestions and tips. You really have no idea how much you have helped me with my skin care!!! I am thrilled with the results from the Obaji line as well as the Retin a. I have been using the bare minerals with the brush during the time that I am peeling a bit and it's worked well for me. as I said before, I am not peeling badly but I sure have noticed the brown spots fading, skin tightening and wrinkles relaxing.. I am just so very thankful that I found your channel.. you're so sweet and I love watching every video I've seen!!! I hope that you and your family have a very wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving... Sue
Oh Sue, thank you so much for telling me that. I am so happy you are having good results. I always worry so much when I talk about something that people are going to be disappointed. So this really means a lot to me. Thank you more than I can say. Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Melissa
Thank you for the great tips. I so appreciate you and your videos. It's so refreshing to watch you with your kindness and honesty. A true gem. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving!
What a sweet and kind thing to say, Lisa. I am so grateful. Much love, Melissa
Happy Thanksgiving sweet Melissa! Love ya to the moon and back!
I feel the same, Charlie Girl! You are one of my biggest blessings! Love you, Melissa
I think ageing brings so many losses and that maintaining good skin is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves!! Thank you for making the effort and showing how it is possible-you look fantastic!
Thanks Melissa! We are thankful for you too and everything that you do for us! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs!
Ok, I have a lump in my throat!!! Thank you so much. Many blessings and love being sent to you. xxx, Melissa
Melissa55 Thank you, 💜
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Doug. I have enjoyed every video you have ever done. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Kathy. What a very kind thing to say. I hope your holiday season will be filled with much love and joy. Love Melissa
Great tips, as usual. You are so right, everyone just needs to experiment to find what works for them, but it's awesome to have so many great suggestions to try, something's bound to work! Love you! xoxoxoxo
It's just not one size fits all with using things that make you peel. And with winter coming up, it's even trickier. Love you lots! xxx, Melissa
MsKristinn32
Happy Thanksgiving! You must be so busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. I baked a batch of cornbread today for my stuffing. Love your hair. Your skin is absolutely radiant. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Hey Karen! I was baking cornbread about the same time you were!!! aw, thank you so very much. I hope your holiday season has been full of much joy and much love,. Thank you, my friend. Love, Melissa
Definitely have found what works for you. You're looking more beautiful every time I see you. I have definitely found some products I will always use and about to test some new additions. Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed and have a great week. 💋
Subscribed! You are SO gorgeous (inside and out) and your videos are so inspiring. I'm 25 with hormonal acne and I just started Retin-A for the second time. When the molting snake-skin peeling gets to me, I watch your videos to distract myself haha! Hopefully when all my friends are older and wrinkly, I'll be pretty like you!
Thanks, Melissa, you're the sweetest! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. XO
That is so kind of Eileen. Thank you more than I can say. Love, Melissa
Thank you so much for all of the helpful tips, Melissa! Sharing your experiences has made so many of us going through similar journeys that much easier. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Lorna
How kind you are, Lorna. Thank you so much, beautiful lady. Love, Melissa
Hope you, Doug, and your family have a very blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!
That you so much, Nola. I hope yours was full of many blessings. Much love Melissa
Happy Thanksgiving From Scotland. You're a credit to women of all ages ☺
Oh my goodness, this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so very very much! Love, Melissa
Happy Thanksgiving Melissa! Thankful for you🦃
I am so very thankful for you, Barb. I think of you often, especially when I wear my earrings. I hope your thanksgiving was so joyful. You are such a special person and I am grateful for you. Love, Meissa
Thank you for all of your advice, and you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving
Thank YOU, Carol for your kindness. I wish you much happiness and and I am grateful to you. Love, Melissa
Melissa, Thank you for your amazing videos! I was wondering, after all these years of using Retin-A... you still peel? I thought that at one point the peeling would stop completely?
You're a gem! Thanks for all you do. Tami
Thank you more than I can say, Tami! xxx, Melissa
Melissa, you are such a blessing to so many, including me. As I've told you before, you have the most gentle spirit But, you're also such a spitfire and a lot fun at the same time! Just a wonderfully genuine human being that I'm thankful to "know" in the limited capacity of TH-cam. I just started using Retin-A .05%, thanks to you. You took my fear of it away and got me excited to start my journey with it. So, thank you!! When I peeled the first time, I used the First Aid Beauty (FAB) Ultra Repair Cream. It really, really helped a lot. It's not expensive and it's all natural. The main ingredient is colloidal oatmeal. Just thought I'd throw another option into the mix of choices. Thank you again for addressing so many questions. Some I didn't know I had until you answered them.... haha!! Much love from my home to yours! Happy Thanksgiving, beautiful friend, we have so much to be thankful for, don't we? ❤️❤️ xoxo Lisette
oh Lisette, I'm sitting here crying! You are the sweetest, loveliest person. You truly are.
Oh thank you so much for the hint on the FAB!!! I am going to get me some and it really makes sense that it would help with the oatmeal in it. It's so soothing. I'm going to give it a try. Thank you for that, and thank you for being you. I have enjoyed you and been touched by your kindness. You are much appreciated and I wish you so much joy and love in this upcoming holiday season. Love you, Melissa
Melissa55 ❤️❤️
New subbie here! AND you're absolutely exquisite. Your skin is gorgeous. Im so so happy I came across your channel. Thank you for your tips, they're much appreciated. 😍❤
Your personality is so perfect.
Thanks! You are fabulous. Happy thanksgiving!!
Thank you so very much, Kristin. I wish you much love and joy and I am so thankful for you. Love, Melissa
girl I just love you! CHARMING!
I just turned 36 and I'm subscribing! I love your personality and your accent. I'm originally from northeastern Arkansas (about an hour from Memphis) and now I live in Texas.
Thank you Melissa for the update. As usual you look gorgeous and your personality matches your appearance. I look forward to trying the CC Cream. Thanks!
What a sweet and kind thing for your to say. Truly I am grateful to you. Love and thanks, Melissa
Really good info, Melissa. Thank you! My peeling has FINALLY decreased to the point where my skin looks normal again. I'm starting to see some very nice results from RetinA. I'm very pleased. I have a very gentle exfoliating pad that I run over my face 2 or 3 days per week. It makes my skin look perfect. It took 9 months for the peeling to improve and I almost gave up but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I don't use a liquid foundation anymore. A mineral powder foundation seems to do everything I need now. xoxo!!!
I am so thrilled that you are getting some relief from the peeling. It's so hard to handle sometimes and I'm extremely glad you like the way Retin A is working for you. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Much love, Melissa
If I could have a jawline like yours, I wouldn't let a moisturizer in my house! Thank you so much for your honest advice! This is SO helpful! Happy Thanksgiving!
aw, thank you so much, Suzy! I don't know why moisturizers make my skin sag, but when I use them, my jowls sag to my knees! lolol. Love and joy to you, Melissa
Melissa55 Do you do any facial exercise /massage to help prevent sagging / jowls ?? You are just exquisitely beautiful and your facial muscular structure and toned jawline is amazing ! I have learnt so much from you about not ' overdoing ' moisturisers / clarisonic etc as it is tempting to 'kill with kindness ' when our skin feels dry ! You are testament to the 'less is more ' philosophy ⭐️⭐️
Oh Sarah, thank you so much!!! I don't do any kind of facial exercises. With me it truly is moisturizing. My cheeks and jawline really do drop from the heaviness of using it. If anyone else was in my body and could feel the feeling of my facial skin they would probably think it felt way too tight. But for me, it is what I feel comfortable with to feel firmer. I do try to always sleep on my back, too. I think that helps my muscles not get squashed into strange positions. xxxx
Melissa55 hameed
You look absolutely radiant and your hair looks so beautiful! It just brightens my day to see your pretty face. 😊
Hannah, I can't thank you enough!!! You just made my day much brighter just reading this and I am grateful to you. Love Melissa
Hey, Missy! I wondered also if the peeling hurt or burned...I loved your tips for this. And, I must say, your hair looks beautiful! I love the length! Thank you so much for sharing, Melissa! Love you so much! Love, Jeanie xxoo
Thank you so much, JJ!!! I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I'll check back in with you! The posse has been quiet! lol. Love, Missy
Hi Melissa, enjoyed the video. Than you for all the tips!! Glad to here it's getting cold for you. Happy thanksgiving😘 love from England. xx
Oh Thank you so much, Angela!!! gosh, we wish we were England right now. One of these days we are going to have Christmas there. Thank you so very much! Love Melissa
Your hair looks fabulous in this video! Thanks for all the info.
Oh thank you! I had actually washed and rolled it the day before and slept on it and then just fluffed it. I think it's better the next day! I appreciate it. Love, Melissa
Happy Thanks Giving Beautiful Melissa... We don't celebrate that here in the UK but I must say that I'm very Thankful for you xx Much love to you and your family xx
I sure am thankful for you Ms. Fuzzbutt. You have made me laugh and brought me much joy and I am so grateful to you. Love you! Melissa
Thanks for the suggestions! You always inspire me to get back to my Retin A
That is so kind, Sasha. Thank you so much, and you are so pretty! Love Melissa
Happy Thanksgiving Melissa, to you and your beautiful family! God Bless You All!!!
xxoo Bev
You are so sweet, Bev. Thank you so very much. Love, Melissa
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! I enjoyed hearing your tips. I just finished peeling from a medical-grade peel and had to go without foundation a couple days. I stayed home, so it wasn't a big deal. My Retin-A does make me peel a little sometimes, but that's when I take a break for a day or two. You're looking lovely, Melissa. .. Hugs... Michelle ❤️❤️❤️
Great points! I love that you are making a video dealing with this.
The multi-layers of skin affected can be patchy. Thanks so much ! xox
aw, thanks so much, Kathy. I hope you had a blessed and very joyful Thanksgiving. Much love, Melissa
Melissa...I am thankful for you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. It is snowing here in Colorado this morning but I got myself a cup of coffee and enjoyed your video so much. You were so right...the peeling on week 5 of Obagi is now minimal. Wish me luck putting on foundation before I see family on Thursday! Heard the Hourglass primer works...I will let you know!
aw, thank you more than I can say, Lynne. The snow sounds heavenly. And I than you for your kind words. Oh I hope the foundation just glides on and that you had a marvelous Thanksgiving. Much love and thanks, Melissa
I been asking this question but no body response to me. My question is does the peeling go away after months or years of using ? Thank you for answering.
Thank you for all the great information Melissa and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,
I really appreciate that so much! And many blessings to you and yours. Much love, Melissa
You are just such a beautiful woman inside and out! Keep posting! You are so incredible!
Hello Melissa! I love your cideos. Does the peeling from retin a stops at some point or is like a permanent side effect? I have been using it for six months and still peeling a lot. I will appreciate if you can tell me from your experience. Thanks!
Very helpful Melissa! I find it is more of an issue foe me in the winter. Can't wait to try some of your suggestions! Thanks for another great video! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!!
I certainly understand that, too. I'm really peeling this winter and think I'm going to back off on some of the items. Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving to you (I can't remember if you live in the U.S. ) Much love, Melissa
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving too, Melissa!
I wish you so many blessing during this season. You always inspire me and I want you to know I am thankful for you. Love you, Melissa
Thank you for this video, sweet Melissa. I was one that commented on my flaking situation. I'm afraid of steroid creams but the burning, itching, and flaking due to eczema are becoming unbearable so I May Go back to them. A friend of mine shared that her doctor said five days on and two days off. I think I may try that, especially around the holidays. It is so embarrassing sometimes. Anyway, I am so very very grateful for the TH-cam community, and especially you, as I've shared in a private email we do have a lot in common. Enjoy every second with your wonderful family!!
I did see an article while researching this from Paula at Paula's choice that said not to be afraid of the hydrocortisone creams, especially with eczema. I really believe in cutting back if it gets to be too much. It does get embarrassing doesn't it? I am so grateful to you. You are such a sweet and beautiful woman. Love you, Melissa
Great tips girl. I sometimes wish my face would react and peel....ok, maybe not quite. Love you and you look gorgeous as always! ♥ Elle
I really think you have such good skin that it doesn't need to peel. And you are getting the benefit of all the products even if you don't peel, and it shows because you look so glowing and gorgeous! Love you!!!!!
I think some people just don't peel, which is good because then you can use any of the products without worrying about all the irritation!!!
Melissa55
Hi Melissa, I've always been in awe at how beautiful your skin is. You are obviously doing something right. As yet I haven't gone down the Retin A path as I am worried it may irritate my skin since it's slightly on the sensitive side. I have used products with retinol in them though and my skin tolerates them well with no irritation. If I do start using Retin A I'll be using your videos as guidelines on how to care for my skin, they are so informative. Yes, there are a lot of blessings in our lives to be thankful for. Wishing you and your family a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. Love and hugs to you, Toula xoxo
Toula, you are so sweet and I thank you more than I can say. If you do ever decide to use it, just ease into it slowly. but that being said, retinols really work so well, and you might not ever need Retin A. I thank you more than I can say. I hope this upcoming holiday season is one of joy and blessings. Lots of love Melissa
Thank you Melissa 😊 💝
Your skin is gorgeous Melissa.
That is so kind of you, Catharine. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
Dear Melissa, I found out just lately that coconut oil (fantastic stuff! + renew skin) and Aloe vera jel are working beautifuly to reduce redness and much more!
I use them every day...
I just got the Laura M foundation...like it so far. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell us what you think and know about things!!!
Oh I'm thrilled, Mariane!!! I really do like it so much. I hope she never discontinues it! It's always my greatest fear. lol. Much love, Melissa
First of all, your skin look gorgeous!! Great advice, Melissa. You know I am a huge believer in IT CC+ cream as my last step in morning skincare, and as my foundation. I did try the Bare Minerals a few times, and it worked very well. I still have some sort of peeling every 4 to 6 weeks. Love you, my friend, and happy Thanksgiving. Yes, we have so many thing to be thankful for. Blessings, prayers, and love...MaryEllen
Melissa, I know you're not a big fan of exfoliants but I absolutely love the Smoothie Peeling Jam that MaryEllen recommended. It's just fabulous and doesn't sting, isn't in the least harsh but does the job and the amount of flaking it removes is incredible. Maybe you should give it a try. (The 'shaving' gave me the 'fear' Lol). Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating. Much Love, J xx
MaryEllen After 60
Thank you so much for that! I think I will give it a go. The worst that can happen is it will burn and if that happens I can just rinse it off right quick. Thank you so much for the heads up. I can't thank you enough. Lots of love, Melissa
I am going to try the peeling gel you recommended. I wish I had remembered to talk about it in my video. I am so sorry. You have incredible skin. Just so flawless and young. Thank you and you know how much I care about you! Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Melissa
The Holika Holika Smoothie Peeling Jam is fruit (I think this one is grape) enzymatic, very gentle peel. It not the least bit harsh. It has helped me the most, with the extra peeling I've been doing since using the 0.1%, and in the beginning of using Retin A. It sells anywhere from 13.00 to 23.00 on Amazon. I am still using the one I purchased two years ago, but I have purchased a new one, since it ships from the Orient. You are a doll, and I love you to pieces.
I continue to learn so much from you since I have started my Retin A journey a few months ago. I have already been dabbling in cortisone cream for the pesky red spots. I want to put Retin A just under my chin to tighten the skin, but I find it migrates down further on my neck to areas which I know are ultra sensitive. I find if I coat my neck first with Vaseline it helps to protect those areas. Happy Thankksgiving! Love, Joy
Thank you so much, Joy. Oh the neck balance is so hard to find!!! It's so hard to keep it from getting super irritated. I think the vaseline is a terrific idea!!! Thank you and Happy thanksgiving to you, too! Lots of love, Melissa
I have used retin a on and off. Now just using serums and matrixl. After seeing you im going back to retin a which I have tubes of. If your prescription plan does not cover it, you can get it from a friend or coworker who might be traveling to Mexico or going back home to visit in phillipines or India. Last coworker went back to phillipines and it was 20$ a tube. You are gorgeous and inspiring. Thank you for the videos.
Awesome tip about using a razor lightly. Thank you for everything that you do, I appreciate your videos so much, they are a joy to watch. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I can't thank you enough, Andrea for this comment. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed week. Love, Melissa
You are welcome Melissa. We are lucky to have you here on You Tube, thank you. Love Andrea
Your the best! You're so beautiful and amazing to me you're my inspiration for taking care of my skin I tend to be lazy in this area lol! I get so excited when I see your video pop up! Hope you have an amazing thanksgiving! 💄❤️💄❤️❤️
Oh Donna, thank you more than I can say. You bring up a good point because I'm kind of lazy about getting ready and stuff like that, too. But once I got my routine down it was really nice cause I could be lazy again if that makes sense. It was just second nature so I didn't have to think about it and it wasn't a pain anymore. I appreciate you! I'm sending you much love and joy. Love, Melissa
your skin is so amazing! I will be using retina a religiously in hopes of looking as good as you! I'm 28 so hopefully I'm starting around when you did!
Wow you look incredible! I’m 22 and I’ve just started to use retinol for blemishes etc and I hope I look as good as you at your age!! Amazing
Thank you for your help with this. Happy Thanksgiving.💜🌹🦃
Thank you so much, Suzanne. If you celebrate Thanksgiving I wish for much joy and blessings! I appreciate you. Love, Melissa
Try sweet almond oil, vitamin e oil or maracuja oil. I find that the maracuja oils is very calming and these oils help with the peeling.
HI Melissa, You are gorgeous and I love your podcasts! I use Obagi Nu Derm with Retin-A and Blend but have never used the Clear. What is the benefit of it? Thank you for all the wonderful beauty tips! Shirley
Hi Melissa, thank you so much for this video ... its a great follow-up to your Obagi update video. And, so many tips! Happy Thanksgiving from California! Smiles, Stella
That is so kind of you to say, Stella! And I hope your thanksgiving was so joyful. Many thanks, Melissa
Thank you for so honest and informative video!
When I do my power peel, I am peeling like mad. And like you said, I just got to go out and "deal with it". Now, I'm afraid to use any kind of brush when I'm peeling. I use the beauty blender at those times. I guess I'm just really afraid of any hyperpigmentation. As always, you look gorgeous! XO XO, Swoozie
It is a way to avoid the peeling or is something that goes forever ...
Again, great tips and info as usual. Thanks!
That is so nice of you to say. Thanks so much. Love, Melissa
Hi Melissa! You did a wonderful job explaining how you deal with the flaking from the Retin-A. I used it for about a year when i was in my 40's and being the picker that I am, I peeled the dead skin off and had my face raw all the time. I have never seen a flake on your skin and it always looks so glowy and beautiful! Thank you so much for all of the information you gave us. Geeeze girl, look at all the money we're saving on moisturizer. lol I think you and I are part of a rare breed that feels the same way about it. Wishing you and your family a Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving, my friend! Love you! xox Colleen :-)
aw, thanks, Colleen. Oh, I always have the urge to start picking at my skin!!! I've peeled off things I shouldn't either. aw thank you. Sometimes my skin looks pretty horrific and like a snake shedding. I think we really see skin care a lot the same Colleen. And I tell you, girl, you have the most beautiful skin I believe I have ever seen. If I didn't love you so much I would be jealous!!! Love you dearly, melissa
I love your videos, they really cheer me up sometimes. You are certainly in my top 5, and my top beauty videoer...did that make sense? So, you turn the flakes into spackle, that's pretty smart! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
I just have to say this woman looks amazing! I should look this good as I age. I think I'm going to get some Retin A.
You are gorgeous, I love the IT CC i use it everyday and the aloe.XO Stacy
Happy Thanksgiving to you & Doug and your family. You look beautiful, as always.❤️-Ruthie
Thank you so much, Ruthie. You are so sweet! Love Melissa
I'm saving this video for when I start using Retin A :) Thanks Melissa...you are so beautiful! xoxox Mary
Love your updates! I use the It CC Cream and loveeeee it, too. Thanks for the video! You look gorgeous!
Thanks, Kathy. I tell you, I really am enjoying that cc cream. You just can't beat it at all. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Thank you for the wonderful information Melissa!!! Wishing you, Doug and your family a blessed Thanksgiving!!! Make sure Oliver gets a couple of bites of turkey!!!
Thank you so very much, Linda!! I hope this upcoming holiday season is such a good one for you and you will have much joy. You truly have been a joy to me and I thank you for that. Love Melissa
Love you, girlfriend! Have a great Thanksgiving with your family! ❤️😘
Hi Melissa! I love your videos. I just started retin-a. How long does the ugly phase last (typically)?
I've been on Tretinoin 0.025% for 6 weeks now...due to acne. The peeling was driving me crazy and my skin was so red! It gets worse sometimes but then gets better.
Thanks for this video! You're beautiful!
I love your channel.. You look so good . I am 58 next month and you look like your so much younger lol. Thank you for everything.
Amanda
I really needed this advice. I've been using .025% starting this year in July. Once a week for month one, every 6 days for month 2, every 5 days for month 3, etc. I am now using every third day day now. I have sensitive skin and must ease into this long term relationship! Day THREE is always the day I look the flakiest. Today is a day three, I cleansed, did a lightweight moisturizer and applied a sheer foundation . Bad idea! I look perfectly fine with just the moisturizer but the foundation accentuated every little tiny and big place of flaking! I washed it all off, applied a soothing gel mask and watched your video. In fact I've watched it twice already.
I am thankful for Melissa!
Lisa it's just so tough to deal with the peeling. And I get discouraged at times and tired of it. When that happens I just back off on some of my products until things calm down and then ease back into it. It's just such a delicate balance isn't it? Thank you so very much. Love, Melissa
Ive missed your videos for a while, last you said you only use retina a and no mosterizer? What about during the peeling stage since im new to retina? I am somewhat blessed, 30's and never use moisterizer on face or body? Also do you use sunscreen in the day? I've been hesitent since it is chalky white it might look funny with the peeling. Ive tried foundation but it just turns the white color peeling into skin color peeling!!!
Hello, Melissa. I’m 50 and just started using retin-a 5 months ago. I started twice a week and worked up to every other night. Question, do you use retin-a as a part of your PM routine every night? Just wondering if I should go every night or just keep with every other night. I have not had a lot of peeling, more just dry skin in the morning, which has pleasantly surprised me. I’m using .05%.
I needed to watch this video for a second time. I am flaking big time transitioning from 0.025% tretinoin cream to 0.05% Refissa. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and providing information to deal with the dryness/flaking!!! I need to kinder to my skin when I going through this so as to not cause any damage to my skin!!! Thank you, Shelly😈💋
