I love using a light layer Zeriod Urea 5% cream under my tretinoin! It has the perfect texture + soothing ingredients. Tretinoin rarely causes any irritation now.
This was very helpful!! Thank you so much!! ❤
Excellent information - thanks!
Love your videos...thanks for this♡
I hadn't heard about the determining between straight application and the sandwich method being based on skin type. That was interesting to hear.
Thanks for putting all the important science about tretinoin in one video. I will be able to send people links to this video.
I’m currently dealing with minor peeling from tretinoin and this video came at the perfect time! I added my a.m. moisturizer (Purito oat-in calming gel cream) as my first sandwich layer, and used my regular nighttime moisturizer (aestura ato barrier 365 cream) to finish up.
This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
14:02 I’m about three weeks into my Tret journey (third time I’ve tried, this time I think I came at it right)
For the first moisturizer I’ve been really liking a light layer of the CosRX All in one cream or the Plum Plump from Glow Recipe ❤
Thank you for the tips❤
No problem!! Glad you found a helpful
You’re the only dermatologist who taught me how to apply tretinoin as an oily skin person☺️ That’s why I noticed when I leave my skin like a glazed donut due to sandwich method, my face still has the rough texture. But when I started to damp gently my skin with a tissue after the sandwich method to lessen the oiliness before I go to bed, my face started to feel smoother🥰 I must now try the traditional method, since I’m already using tretinoin for 2 months~ now and I apply it every other night and I barely had any irritation. Hope it works on me🥰
So far the moisturizer I like most to use after tretinoin is the Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream. It’s so rich I have to be careful to not put too much on. And it costs only about $16 for 1.7 ounces which is very reasonable compared to other night creams.
I am fair and have dry sensitive skin. I use Tretinoin for anti aging. I tried a couple times to acclimate to Tretinoin before I was successful. Using moisturizer first was the answer for me. I have found the sweet spot for me is six nights a week. I still have to apply moisturizer first, let it dry, then apply Tretinoin. Lately I've been using Elf Holy Hydration and I like it.
Hi Dr. Jenny thank you for always bringing such great videos. I have a question regarding Skin better science Alpharet. Is it okay to use either the intensive or regular Alpharet nightly? If one’s skin tolerates it, is it safe as they include high percentages of glycolic acid. Would it cause over exfoliation? Also how does Alpharet compare to tretinoin?
Can you start recommending creams without Niacinamide, please? I’m very allergic to it.
Great tips Dr. Liu!
I started with retinoid directly just because I was using retinoid for a year before my pregnancy and restarting around 2 years postpartum. I was so wrong.. so I took a break and started with retinol for a month starting slowly like 1-2 times a week and now I am trying avene retinal everyday. It seems to be much more accepting for my skin.
My only question is, plan to get back on prescription retinoid (0.025 cream base) in couple of months. When I do that, do I start from scratch again going with 1-2 times a week? Does starting retinoid after retinol/retinal set me back? I am starting to feel retinol/ retinal I am not seeing much difference lately but I am able to tolerate the irritation better
I use Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Repair Cream under tretinoin nightly to prevent flaking.
Good afternoon, Dr. I hope you are well. What routine or products would you recommend for someone with combination skin when they aer in their early 20s?
Hi Dr. Liu, how long do you have to wait in between applying each layer of the the moisturizer and Tretinoin sandwich method for dry skin? Is it 20 minutes wait time for each layer? Thank you for all the useful information.
Are you referencing the new laneige blue hyaluronic acid? Because they recently reformulated it for the third time.
Hello doc, is there a food that has a potential to interfere with accutanes absorption?
Hi Dr Liu! Do you have a video on OTC retinol products in increasing strength? I just started on my retinol usage journey while my mom has been using hers for awhile and wants to increase her percentage. We'd love to know what you recommend for increasing to different stages.
In fact, I do it’s a much older video on retinoids and percentage
I use a Cerave night lotion with niacinamide, I put that on the top area of my face(cheeks, nose, forehead). Then Avene retinaldehyde balm from the cheekbones down to my neck. I then top off the rest of my face with Avene Retinaldehyde cream , it comes in a pump. I've tried Effeclar but find it too strong.
Can we use the traditional or sandwich method with tretinoin microsphere gel? I heard you should not layer anything under or over the microsphere gel.
Yes, it can be used with all
Instree cream didn't work well for me for morning routine. It tends to dry and flake. I noticed that with all HA products. HA doesn't work on my face
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi dr jenny liu dry skin face cold weather what is the best moisturiser cream 😅 xx
I love a richer cream like one from La Rocheposay or cerave
Dr jenny liu thank you for telling me xx
What about using it on my neck? I’m in my 60s and just starting .25 tretinoin routine.
Some derms have recommended using OTC retinols on the neck (olay, neutrogena, roc, etc).
I am a lady. I have genetic sebaceous oil over production starting from puberty time, active oil glands which create sebaceous filaments, Whiteheads , acne and severe pore skin, also come hairs on nose, face, thik dark hair on chin. Whiteheads and poppy seeds like material comes from many body parts like after ear, chest, arms, full face etc.
If I conceive baby, is it possible to stop lead all problems in baby? Is it possible with proper diet and Vitamins?
Plz reply.......🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Plz give true answer
Can I use retinol on the nights that I am not using tret?
Good question. I've seen some derms say to stick to one product and some derms who say it's okay to switch.
Tret covers the same role of an off the counter retinol product, and it's significantly more powerful. They fill the same role. There is no reason to have an extra retinol product. Your goal should be to condition your skin to be using tret as often as your skin allows.
should i be treating body retinoids like I use the face retinols? Pea sized amount, plus sandwhich method? love your videos
The piece has amount is mostly for face and for prescription retinoids if it’s over-the-counter retinol product for body it’s formulated to be used more liberally so you don’t have to stick with that amount
I have hard time to understand emolients vs humectants... with perimenopause dry skin.. Please help😅💚
Humectants hold onto water aka hydration. Emollients smooth over the flaky skin cells and some have moisturizing effects (think oils or butters).
🙂
Despite using tret 0.025% for almost a year every other night, pea sized amount, sandwich method, the peeling hasn’t seized. It’s constant and I’m getting sick of it. The even use the Epiceram moisturizer.
The night I don't use tretinoin I apply a thin layer of Aquafor after my nighttime routine on areas where is peeling and I don't have any peeling anymore.

I hope you read my comment. I need your help 🥺 I had no pimples or comedones on my skin before. During my college years, I was using a cream with retinoic acid because I had acne problems on my skin due to stress. I didn't know exactly how to use it and I used it badly for 6 months. Then I noticed that a small black head formed on one part of my cheek and there was a brown spot on that part. I think I damaged my skin barrier and the sun stained my skin. I stopped using the cream for a while. I started to use the cream correctly again by doing research. It didn't make my face worse, but it didn't work on bumps. No matter what I did, I couldn't handle the small bumps. I started using Differin 2 months ago, hoping it would work. My face got worse. Blackheads appeared even in places where there were no blackheads before. I don't know what to do 🥲
