I am improving my English for understanding your videos ! Your skincare advice is very helpful
Your written English is great! Very good choice in listening to Dr. Dray!
Waiting an hour really made a difference for me. I tell all my friends who say they have too much irritation from retin a to try that method
So glad you mentioned SLUGGING!!! been using Retin-A (and all your recommendations) for 5 years/5 days a week (took 8 months to get no irritation). 62, normal to dry skin and I would STILL get skin shedding several times a week no matter my skin care routine. THANKS to YOU using CeraVe healing ointment to slug has finally made difference!
THE PHOTO SENSITIVITY MYTH YES FINALLY
This is such an informative video! It should be required viewing for anyone starting Retin-A.
AGREED!!!!!!
I was that peeling onion- until i started using Castor oil as my last step in the sandwich method. Even with the thinnest layer I have no more problems with peeling. I hope this can help someone 😊
😂😂
Please let people also know that retinol causes dry eyes and can permanently damage eyelid glands if used around eyes
Wow thanks for the advice!
Oh, that’s why my eyes have been burning 😂
Thanks Dr Dray! I am going to start using it again and take your tips mainly the one about not washing it off in the morning. I always thought I had to wash it off and then apply my sunscreen. Now I know better! 😊
I honestly have never once really experienced any irritation or dryness from tret, Differin or any retinol products. I often feel like I’m living in bizzaro world!
Daily?
Same here, I use it daily and never have an issue, I do have sensitive skin too, I use Avene 00.5% after this bottle I will go up in strength
Same, but I do the Dr Dray method!
Lucky 😫
Same, my skin might flake off but the new skin underneath is normally moisturized
Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and expertise. I love your no-BS delivery. You’re a wonderful educator!
Always thorough! I started Tret in January, used it directly after cleansing, found myself turning into a tomato 🍅 then learned about the sandwich method. Now I follow this method: cleanse, toner, eye serum, Cera ve pm, tret, peptides, Cera ve moisturizer done 5 days, 3 tret, exfoliate, 2 tret, exfoliate, seems to work well, skin is softer.
Thank you for going over this again ❤
Perfect timing! Thank you 💖
Love your retinoid videos! ❤TY!
Happy day to you Dr. Dray! I love my daily dose of Dr. Dray❤
I appreciate these tips. Thanks, as always, Dr Dray. Happy Wednesday! I hope you have a relaxing evening. ❤
ive been inhaling dr dray videos like a podcast!!! love her sm.
Great video!! I needed this info. Thanks Dr. Dray 😊
I just started Retin A doing once a week for now. Thanks for the tips.
Excellent!! Thank you 😊
Brilliant video. ❤
Super-informative.
Very pleased to hear you mention hypochlorous acid! Would love if you could do a video on it since it's gotten more popular lately :)
Great video as always ❤ Very informative.You are the best!🎉
You are a font knowledge, Dr. Dray. I learn something new in every video.
I'm starting using retinol today, perfect timing!
A very informative video, thanks!❤️
Thank you, thank you - I have been following your recommendations for this over the years, but thank you for updating us with the latest research!
Thanks Dr Dray for another great video. You’re always spot on with the information you provide.
Dr dray I wanted to say thank you so muchZ I started watching you when I moved to Florida and my skin went crazy. Happy to say three years later I’m sunscreen crazy and my skin is amazing and glowing!
so informative
I use Trentinoin...I put some Vanicream on the more sensitive areas first.
Very useful and detailed information. Thanks so much! 🌸🌷
This came at the perfect time as I’m restarting my retinol since being pregnant 👍🏼
Happy Wednesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
@@DrDrayzday ❤
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Wednesday Whitney😀👍
Dr. Dray, that was an incredibly helpful video!! Even when discussing something as mundane as vitamin A, it’s always a good time with you❣️❣️Happy Easter & have a great start of April🐰🐰🌷🌷
Thank you! I’m a seasoned retinol user and am going to switch to a stronger product soon, so this information will be helpful!
I started on retinol over 2 years ago and still get some irritation. I was doing better and tried the Neutrogena cream retinol pro .3%. I have to skip every 3rd day or get irritation. I agree with letting my skin dry thoroughly!
Great Information Dr Dray! A video of you applying Retin-A during your night time routine would be helpful! Thank you for your knowledge. I wasted so much money on skin care products before subscribing to your channel.
Thank you for this very helpful and practical information. I’m just beginning using retinol (Olay retinol 24), so far so good.
Excellen!! Thanks.
Thank you for all the info & tips you give us! Have a great day
thanks for watching
Happy Wednesday Dr Dray….see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I’ve really enjoyed getting my trentinoin from Agency. They include other serums in the product, so it takes out the guess work.
I throughly enjoyed this video. It dispelled some bad advise I've heard and your approach to using the medication with lots of options for various situations was perfect! Thank you so much. Also, you answered a question that's been lurking for me which was whether to wash off in the morning if skin is otherwise moisturized and comfortable with sunscreen application.😊 You rock, Andrea 🎉❤
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
Morning!
Thanks for the helpful video your skin looks gorgeous today!
but girls dont like skin like this tho, they think its too greasy
Hello Dr. Dray ❤Happy Wednesday
Happy Wednesday!
I've struggled with dry skin with tretinoin for 2 years. I am finally getting some relief by using the sandwich method (moisturizer, tretinoin, moisturizer). Thank you for this video.
You look sooooo beautifuuul😍😍😍 and so young
P.s thank you for making wonderful informational videos❤❤❤
The right formula for you , the right approach and dose and consistency are keys for achieving the retinol wanted outcome 😊❤. Thank you Doctor Andrea for informing us 😊❤.
Never experienced any side effects until I went up to 0.1%… however, I found that applying basic moisturiser first and waiting 30mins before applying tret worked a treat and stopped the peeling and irritation
Great practical advice as always! Following your advice I've been using Tretinoin AFTER my night moisturiser for months and it has totally eliminated irritation. 😁
thanks for watching
What mascara do you have on? Your lashes and eyes look beautiful! 😊
Dr. Dray and Dr. Eye Health are the TH-cam Queen and King of porcelain skin, while showing us the way to mend our flakes and our dry eyes.
Great info Dr Dray. 😊
Thank you Andrea. Perfect timing: I am 51 next week and recently asked my Dr for a tube of Tretinoin. I'm a little nervous to start, but your videos give me so much confidence 💕
I'm almost 47 next week & I just started Tretinon February 1st & I can already tell a difference. My skin looks amazing! I also started using the ordinary lactic acid 5% and it makes my skin look so smooth. If you're worried about the irritation, I would only use it once or twice a week! Happy early birthday 🎊
@veronika__asmr_ - Thank you! And same to you 🤗 Yes it's a good idea to start very slow.
I'm 56 and started tretinoin today.
Thank you for this helpful video! Can you do tretinoin and Winlevi at the same time?
Please do a video for skincare during radiation! 💓
She did one either yesterday or the day before.
Spot on Doc, I'm 70 y/young and I've using Resin-A 0.025% for the past 6 months flawlessly with NO irritation while following ALL your advice.
but its y/old

Hi dr. Dray, perfect timing for this video as I've started experiencing irritation top of my upper lips, my chin and also dryness on my forehead. Using retinol isn't new to me. I've been using CeraVe retinol serum for a couple years now but had no issue. I started the GoldBond retinol cream since December as I wanted to try it out and it was great but this irritation started could weeks ago. I thought maybe pollen allergy. I use vaseline in those areas and switched to Cetaphil hydrating cleanser and stopped the CerVe acne face wash. It does work but I have to reapply vaseline in the middle of the day. Does weather contribute these symptoms too?
Dr. Andrea! AmLactin has been my moisturizer! I’m wondering if AmLactin is occlusive because my skin never becomes dry, as I use it in the morning and night.
Greetings from South Africa
Hope you are having a great week
Im a new follower of yours. I have a question, I have dry mouth, I saw one video where you were talking about stuff that's good for your lips. I go through so much chapstick, of all brands, nothing really works. I'm enjoyng your videos so thank you
Great video! Can you make a video on the new study surrounding benzoyl peroxide and benzene? Thank you :-)
Hey what did the study find if you don’t mind explaining, is it bad? My daughter uses Epiduo which has BP in
I know that Tik tok where she says she can put it on damp skin. She said “my skin is damp now”
Her skin didn’t look damp. It was shiny. Almost like she rubbed oil all over her face, chest, and arms. I never believe anything random people on Tik tok say anymore.
Love your channel Dr Dray, I was given a red light therapy machine, I take blood pressure medication HCTZ which is photosensitive, do you think this medication with the red light is a no no?
I use Avene 00.5 and never had any irratation,I use it nightly, I just follow your expert advise on retinol
Thank you!
My tip: use 1/4 pea size nightly at first, then increase later. Avoid direct contact in creases around nostrils and nasal labial folds.
What about tret over oil or oil based balm (that is not vasaline) for absorption? I like to use oils like rosehip over a toner or moisturizer. Or an oil balm instead of moisturizer.
Thx for another great video!
Look up Lab Muffin Beauty Science on TH-cam. She has a video titled 'How to start on retinoids', there's a segment where she details her own routine for using tretinoin (she does use it on top of oils). She's a cosmetic chemist and skin care nerd and a very trustworthy source of skin care info. Hope that's helpful
I have tried so many times.... but maybe there is a chance... 💜💜💜
thanks for watching
Putting on my skincare first and waiting 30 min then applying micro gel tretinoin has given me the best results
Also just rinsing my face w water in the morning has helped a lot 🎉
I've had so much success with my tret. After a little bit of trial and the error I was experiencing some minor dryness, no major irritation. But here's what I figured out and it worked so well. I happen to have laroche posse triple repair moisturizing cream for face and body. And alveno 2% oatmeal eczema cream Gel. I take A pea sized amount of that moisturizer and put it on my face while it's almost dripping wet. I basically turn this into a very hydrating toner .. Then I wait 30 minutes for my face to be completely dry. And apply the tret..... I wait a few minutes for it to absorb. And then I do a double moisturizer. Alveno eczema therpy and more triple repair. This also scratches that itch to have a multi step skin care. Because I love taking my time and applying multiple products at night. So this scratched the itch, but also helped with the tolerance. On off nights, i basted with cicaplast balm or but paste. It took only 3 weeks to get to daily use.
Can you wax, dermaplane, or do threading while on Tretinoin?
Could you do a review on the best at home IPL devices? i.e is luxe skin one or roseskinco anyway good??!!
When I have peeling not dry dry I use rodan and fields and lightly rub it over dry skin while it removes itself.then coq10 eucerin.
Hi Dr. Dray
Certain areas of my face (right side of my forehead, between my eyebrow and hairline) are more sensitive than others, becoming red and peeling whereas the rest of my face does not react. I currently do the pancake method (mosituriser - retinol - thicker moisturiser). Do I continue to apply to those areas or alternate days for those areas? What do you recommend?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Happy Wednesday! This will be very helpful for me. My derm has me take a week off before and after laser treatments for redness. Sometimes my mouth area will get irritated when I return to using my prescription retinol.
Greetings Theresa Berg hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….
To you too Whitney! 😊@@whitneybrown4067
I confirm that Retinol has been a great benefit to reduce my redness/rosacea.
happy wednesday
Thank you!@@DrDrayzday
I'm going to be trying again soon. My main issue was that an area in which I have wrinkles, my smile lines, is the only sensitive/dry area of my entire face. Should I skip that area altogether, or give it a go again? I used most of these techniques last time, but will wait longer for the face to be dry, or may have to try the short contact version.
I dont get irritated, i get little flakes that look terrible under foundation no matter how low the dose of tretinoin, and no matter how thick of moisturizer i use. This was after five yrs of use too. So i had to do 3x a week and it was mostly fine
I have rosacea, but started using tretinoin after my rosacea was under control and no serious issues occurred.
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Wednesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
Morning!
Happy Wednesday to you Whitney!
Greetings Theresa Berg hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….
Happy Wednesday Whitney Brown. Enjoy your day and be well.

Back in the day, my dermatologist suggested Lever2000 Antibacterial for my minor acne. It worked like a charm and didn’t break the bank. Since Lever2000 is discontinued, I’ve replaced it with Dove Antibacterial. 😂🤷🏻♀️
What about the Korean Skincare Steps. Cleansing, Tonic, Ampoule (= Serum), Retinol and finally Moisturiser???
I switched from my gel retinol 0,3% to Ordinary's oil retinol and never again had irritation!!! In an oil form it really irritates so much less because I don't get dry and my eczema doesn't come back !!!
The only thing I question is the use of petroleum jelly as it's extremely pore clogging and acne inducing.
Hello I’ve been trying to rid my white spots from my glasses tan can I use a daily cleanser or just leave the skin as it is and put sunscreen and moisturizer
@Dr Dray Can you recommend a heavy duty moisturizer that helps with protecting and restoring the skin barrier and help with dryness/peeling from retinoid use?
I might check her video on best moisturizers to use with retinols.
I just started using tretinoin (it’s been going well and I am rosacea prone 🎉🎉🎉🎉 no irritation yet!)
QUESTION- Copper peptides… can I use it with the tretinoin? I know I can’t use the copper peptides with chemical exfoliants because it denatures the copper peptide…
Will tret do the same thing? Or are they good to combine?
I am getting conflicting information everywhere 😢❤
True simple solution for PIH. I can't find a product that is multiple ingredients?
I would check Dr. Dray's hyperpigmentation videos. One product she's recommended is la roche posay Glycolic B5 10% pure glycolic acid serum (formerly mela-d pigment control) - glycolic, kojic, LHA (derivative of SA), tranexamic, panthenol (vit b5). Some others from other dermatology channels are Faded topicals (tranexamic, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, azelaic, kojic derivative, licorice), Peace Out dark spot serum (tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, niacinamide, kojic acid), Urban skin rx advanced even tone day & night treatment (5% niacinamide, 3% tranexamic acid, 2% kojic acid, 1% bakuchiol), Vichy liftactiv b3 serum (niacinamide, tranexamic acid, glycolic, ascorbyl glucoside), JJ Labs Skin Solutions Skin Brightening and AntiAging Solution (tranexamic, arbutin, vit c/e, licorice, HA), Touch bright and clear cream* (10% azelaic, 5% niacinimade, 3% kojic acid, 3% tranexamic acid) *better for layering under makeup, Good molecules discoloration serum - tranexamic acid, niacinamide, Paula’s choice discoloration serum - tranexamic acid, niacinamide, bakuchiol (as antioxidant)
Agency Future Formula is prescription tretinoin plus other active ingredients. They do all biz on-line, including prescriptions and shipping so you don't need to ask your doctor or find a dermatologist.
Dr Dray likes the maelove fade away brightening serum (alpha arbutin, kojic acid, licorice, glutathione). She's also liked the PCA skin pigment gel HQ free - kojic acid, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, azelaic, glutathione. And in one of her hyperpigmentation videos (also good resources) she's talked about the LRP Glycolic B5 10% pure glycolic acid serum - glycolic, kojic, LHA (derivative of SA), tranexamic, panthenol (vit b5)
Another *PERFECT COLORMATCH* day, Dr Dray! 😉
Retivideos? I just can' t get enough🎵🎶
🧛🏻♀️🖤🖤🖤👩🏻🔬🧓🏻🐕
'Buff Puff' I have not heard that word in ages! Loved my Buff Puff! Lol
I finished a course of efudix in November last year. I did stop everything other than sunscreen and moisture. Not sure when I should start retinol again.
Dr Dray, please could you do a video on benzene in skin care products? There’s been news reports saying benzoyl peroxide-containing products has cancer-causing levels of benzene. This is rather alarming, what would be your professional opinion on this? 😢
Is this different from the last benzene videos she, Lab Muffin and other have done when this issue came up?
Thank you for the video. I’m always so confused about the proper order. I just started tretinoin and I don’t know if it goes first or the serums goes first and then tretinoin. My concern was if serums can penetrate the tretinoin.
What causes pilling/balling of normal skincare, including SPF, and even at night? I have had this problem for years, and I haven't been able to use foundation since it started. I need help.
Hi Dr Dray 😊 thank you as always for helping us understand skincare. I have a question that I can’t seem to get an answer for when I Google it. If we do start flaking from our tretinoin, but otherwise skin feels fine. There is no burning there is no stinging there is no redness do we still need to back off for a couple days?
I didn’t
Just use a cleansing oil to remove the flakes.
Hello Dr. Dray, can you tell me what is the strongest OTC Retinol product available? My goal is to boost Collagen production in my face, no acne or discoloration problems. I have already used a few retinol products with no irritation but no visibile results, so now I am looking for the strongest one. With so many 'retinol-retinoid-retinal-granactive' products on the market it's hard to compare percentages. Thank you.
I would love to see alternatives to mineral oil and petroleum as buffers for retinoids for people with acneic skin. Cuz trying to use those when you're already acne-prone is not helpful and only makes acne worse.
What about shea butter, cocoa butter or beeswax (including synthetic)?
@@db-gb5xicocoa butter is fairly comedogenic (as is shea butter, though derms and esthies seem to be divided on that), but beeswax might be a good option!
Hello Dr Dray, i am so hoping you see my comment and can please help me? I started Tretinoin .5 about 3 weeks ago and had no issues with purging or even dryness as it used a pea sized amount and was using a really good moisturizer before and after. I had NO issues at all, but suddenly around the 8 day mark, i noticed DARK SPOTS on BOTH my cheeks! Like a LOT! And i discontinued use immediately. It’s been a couple weeks since, and i really wish these dark spots would fade but even with Perricone Dark Spot treatment serum every night on clean skin, they are not fading and i did ask my doctor to lower the dose to .25 of the Tretinoin but i am PETRIFIED to use it after all the dark spots. Will these ever fade?. Should i not use Tretinoin again or will this keep happening? I’m so confused because i thought this was actually to HELP fade dark spots, not cause them. Please please advise i would be forever grateful. Thank you for your informative videos : )
