Thank you to everyone for your questions! Please don’t take it personally if I didn’t answer yours. Understand that I'm neither a dermatologist nor an expert on skincare, and I received numerous questions that I did not feel comfortable answering as it’s not my place for me (or anyone for that matter) to answer such individually-directed questions over the Internet regarding the use of a prescription product. What I CAN do, as always, is speak to my experience using tretinoin and topical retinol products for over 16 years; therefore, I addressed the questions about my personal experience and offered suggestions where I felt I could comfortably give my advice. Remember, too, that everyone’s experience using tretinoin and/or retinol will be unique and different, because everyone’s skin is unique and different. The questions I did not answer are those that would be best suited to ask your prescribing physician so that he or she may guide you accordingly along the best possible course of treatment for you depending on your individual skin type, needs & preferences, and goals. I appreciate your understanding.
I really enjoy your posts. I enjoy that you speak from a perspective empowerment and speaking forth what you want to see more of, etc. instead of speaking what you don't want to experience more of.....
I love all of your skin care tips but can you also show how you keep so thin and fit? Like what kind of things you eat in a day do you exercise daily ect....❤❤
Jennifer Myers Hi: Please, I just wanted to know if you started at 0.025 with the tretinoin or at 0.005, because you are the only subject I could find that after years still uses the 0.005 and I wanted to know if you already started there or you first started by using the 0.025. Thank you 🙏🏼
Could you show the pics of your lashes before you started using castor oil? They are just unbelieveble in a good way. Thx for your informative videos. You are very pleasent to watch.
Jennifer Myers hey was your lashes smaller before you started using castoroil
I just don’t understand why she hasn’t more subscribers, there are a lot of other TH-cam talking about a healthy life but none of them are real talk or with real experience, mostly ads, I am so grateful as a male watching your videos and improve myself in life in every way possible 🤚🏻
Many people really just wanna be entertained
More power to you dude👍.. Keep supporting good works
She just came up in my recommended and I’m so happy I found her! Maybe she will start to show up in other people’s recc as well :)
I love that you care enough to do what people ask like "smile close to the camera ". As if they are trying to get you to "expose" something. Of course skin does that when a person squints or smiles. You can clearly see what your are using works. People are silly and you're a doll. I'm 100% going to try you skin regimen when I'm no longer breastfeeding. ❤️
I have nothing to hide, and as you said, there's nothing either for me to "expose." But if someone wants to see that, then I can take 15 seconds to do it; not a problem (a bit of an odd request albeit lol, but not a problem; and I certainly don't mind at all).
they probably wanted to see closely how her face moves to see if she has botox. some people just can't believe how great her skin looks haha
@@JenniferMyers
At one point in this video you mentioned 4 products that contain retinol that one could try before using prescription strength Retin-A. But what is a good moisturiser please, to use together with prescription strength Retin-A?
@@ksc743 I use CeraVe PM both morning and night as my all-over facial moisturizer. Another product I use and enjoy for the same purpose is Cetaphil DailyAdvance Hydration Lotion. But I prefer the CeraVe PM.
Jennifer Myers thanks so much for getting back to me. I watched a few more of your other videos after I posted this comment. I like that your videos are so full of commonsense and that your recommendations are affordable. I don't think CeraVe is sold in South Africa where I live? I've never heard of it but will definitely look out for it. I've seen Cetaphil cleanser on our shelves but I haven't noticed a moisturiser. They seem to love Olay and L'oreal here which I don't love!
But never mind skincare, I saw your video about contracting the coronavirus. That is SO scary. Glad to hear you're feeling a little bit better now. You are fortunate to have your family close by. Look after yourself🤗💗
As an Indian I'm impressed at how well you pronounced Indian names.. also I love your vibe, I love your videos, very informative. Love from India
Wished I had a dermatologist relative in my family too😭😍
Tretinoin really has been the best thing for me and given my skin a new life. My friends use all sorts of serums and potions and I keep telling them that vitamin A is the best choice. I hope as I grow older I can retain and gain as beautiful a skin as yours. Thank you for sharing your experience.
How do you use it everyday do u wash off in mornig
Jen Glass Can’t tolerate using it everyday so I use it every other day directly after washing my face. I also wash it off in the morning because my sunscreen piles up and becomes disgusting if my fave isn’t completely clean. On the rare days that I don’t go out and basically spend all my day sleeping in I don’t even bother washing it. Doesn’t irritate my skin.
E L thanks
Jen Glass I have bad skin genes bc I look old at young adult ages even though I’ve been using spf daily since pre teens.
Boone Lo I do think conventional beauty is gene dependent. Try as I may I am never going to be as beautiful as Naomi Campbell or other supermodels but this product gave me the best personal skin. So even if others don’t swoon at the sight of me I feel more confident and genuinely in love with the skin I have right now. Only thing is it caused a patch of hyperpigmentation around my mouth so I am trying to fade it out.
You are flipping georgous. Ur skin your hair your lashes!!!! My goodness girl. I cant wait to see you in 20 years. U will probably look even better. If thats even possible.
I’m 24 and going to start using tretinoin in a few months! Wish me luck.
Which strength are you starting with
Maryam Khan I started a week after commenting because no better time than lockdown! I started with 0.025.
Anything happened in first week?
@@taytayqueen7024 not a skincare expert but read somewhere that the lower the number, the higher the dosage actually is, not sure if its true
@@daisytai7502 I don't think so that's the case here...0.025% really is the mildest with 0.1% being the strongest :)
You are so smart, to start taking care of your skin from such a young age! At that age I baked in the sun and now, I am trying to repair the damage
However, Retin a has made a difference, even starting it much later in life.
Thank you for setting such a great example of self care
SPF every day and cleansing my skin properly from age 11, 12.. I’m really grateful now looking back that my family members had my future skin health in mind.
I was baking also at that age. I was a beach girl and can't believe the crazy things we did to get a tan. Sigh! Retin A is such a wonderful product and it's never too late to start and repair. :)
Holly isn’t it crazy, the things we did- baby oil to get tan...
I am so grateful for Retin a and wish I had used it decades ago and not done all this crazy stuff
@@claudiaglows Oh me too! Better late than never tho!!
Holly so true
So beautiful- a quiet beauty, rare gem !
I truly enjoy watching your videos . You have such nice personality. 🌸
Thanks for Q&A part2. Can't wait for part 3 of the critically acclaimed highly anticipated trilogy🎥🍿😜❤️
You are one of the most sensitive, informative, beautiful person and TH-cam in and out. Thank you!
I’m so glad you joined TH-cam 🌷💗
Thank you for showing lines of expressions.... Love it
wow! your videos are gold! so happy I found your channel
Thank you for this excellent advice!
Thank you Jennifer. Your voice is so soothing yet the contents you’re talking about are so informative. I feel like I can listen to this all day long 😌😌😌❤️Hope you have a fabulous day.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us so generously. It really helps to know what others are experiencing using the products like retinol. We love you for explaining what it was like. ❤️
going back here, been using tretinoin since last year (when i'm 25) after i watched this. hope to comeback here 10 years later with good skin!
Awesome video! I have been using retin a for 12 years and I love it. I loved everything you said 😀
Thank you!!
I really appreciate you sharing details of your perfect skincare routine as well as your ingestible beauty tips!! In Japanese we call them 美容食 (biyoushoku) or beauty foods. I’ve never really heard anyone talk much about them outside of japan, so thank you very much!!!!!
I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate your videos even though I dont comment much but I really want to thank you fir your efforts, for giving us such useful & quality content. I seriously feel blessed to have found your channel because it's so authentic and real plus the content is so informative and I have learned a lot.
Thank you so much and keep it up.
Btw you're truly gorgeous.
Very informative, on my 30's started last week, it's been easy since we are in lockdown. Thank you for all the advice. 🤗
You are so pretty. I am turning 25 next month, and for a long time I struggled with my skin. Right now, my skin is the best it has ever been and I want to keep it that way as well as simplify my routine!! I have learned a lot about the 'work smart, not hard' kind of approach from your videos. I find your personality comforting as well. Thank you so much.
I just love your content! Very informative!
Love your videos, very close to my beloved Dr.Dray's advice.. :)
What pleasant person to listen every day, thank you for your advice to use each product wisely...
thanks for sharing - I love using Shiseido Eudermine as a "buffer" before Retin A 0,5 for moisture sometimes in the evening - I use Shiseido Eudermine before my sunscreen in the morning and really love it
So much appreciated Jennifer. Seeing on girls and women a lot of make up, and you don't have a bit of make up. Nothing against make up. Just you are beautiful. Love from Tampa , Bea.
I think you are the most genuine TH-camr ever!!!! Amazing videos 😊😊😊😊 i am 29yrs old from uk will be buying retin a pretty soon . ☺️
You’ve got the best uncle ❤️ can’t wait to teach my daughter how to use skincare
You are incredibly well spoken. Love listening to you!
You should make ASMR video! Your voice is so soothing🍃
Great information sharing! And last question and answer is what I was looking for! I am consistently watching your videos. Thank you!
I was waiting for PT 2 so eagerly. :) Thank you for ur input can't wait to see the whole video
Thank you, Rucha
back then people didn't have all these sorts of skincare we do now. people use simple products like yours. I respect the simplicity of your skincare. a little goes a long way
Very informative! Thank you 🥰
Started my retinol journey (using over the counter products with lower percentage of retinol) since january this year and i hope next year i can start to use tretinoin. I need to take it slowly since my skin is so dry, so the idea to jump into tretinoin right away is scary. I'm turning 25 this month so hopefully when i'm in my late 30, i have good skin like this lady 😀
Hi Jennifer, I love this video ❤. I've been using retin A for 2 years. For the 1st year I did not feel any significant improvement of my skin. But I keep going and be patient 😊 And now my skin looks much better. Thank you for inspiring 😍
really loved it !!
keep up the good work!!
expecting these types of videos !!
thank you much for sharing!!
Lots of love ❤❤❤
Thank you💫 I have taken on some of your skin care advice and it's such a delight to take it back to basics and not have to apply 101 products. My skin is thanking me for this👌💕
AND WHAT IS OVER YOUR BEDROOM WINDOWS??????
Thank you so much Jennifer! You are so beautiful and patient.
I have done a bit research about retinoid and saw a statement of a doctor that makes me a bit worried.
Can you please answer whether the following statement is true or not:
He says that, “if you plaster way too much retinol on in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, you could be depleting all of those healthy cell divisions that you really should be storing for cell divisions further down your lifetime”, because the human skin can only divide a finite number of times.
Again, thank you so much! I’m looking for more videos from you ^^
I'm 23 and I have just been prescribed tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid for acne scars and post-pregnancy melasma. so I'm so excited, hopefully, it works.
I am 21 so glad I discovered your channel 😍 I am gonna start using this product
I am 24, think it is not to late to start too, she is so beautiful. Good luck for us😘
So helpful!❤❤❤
Thank you for responding, Jennifer 😊 I’ve done so much research prior to starting tretinoin. I barely started last Sunday & my plan is doing it once a week for a month & then progressing to twice a week the following month & so on & so fourth. Thank you once again for taking your time to respond to us. I’ve been looking forward to this video for a few days now!
So how's your skin now?? Do u experience any purging following your rules cuz i've the exact plan for mine too!! And i really want to avoid irritation
Thank you so much for sharing your simple and effective skincare method. I am so impressed. Can you share your opinion on vitamin C for skincare?
Love your stuff! Thanks for making videos! 🤍
Great info! Thank you!😊
I was worried that I may be too young (22) to use retin a but I’m glad too hear this is is a good time for me to start
The younger you begin, the greater the results will be, because tretinoin is cumulative in its results (in other words they become greater and more pronounced over a longer duration of consistent usage).
Jennifer Myers wow I did not know that! I thought my skin would become damaged if I started too young. Btw, I really enjoy your videos and I watch every one
Vanessa Autumn I had the same concerns as well! I’m 19 (turning 20 in a couple of months) and not sure if I should start it or not. I tried googling it but can’t find a definitive answer since everyone seems to vary on the age :/
Jennifer Myers hey just wanted to ask can I just use retinol? It’s hard quite to get tretonin in the uk? :) xx
@@blue3374 hey I’m not sure if you have started using it but I just wanted to say that a lot of young people use it for acne and hyperpigmentation and the anti aging is just a plus! I am 17 and I am going to use it
I love your comment section ❤️ mostly very positive as an influence of you.
I feel very fortunate that my collective viewing audience is this way. I couldn't ask for more.
This is such a great video! 🙏 I started my over the counter retinol 2 months ago, and my skin loves it! No peeling or red or discomfort anything, and the results are great! ( my skin was always looking good and smooth, but retinol makes it better by shrinking pores and give a glow to the face) I was already using Elizabeth Arden retinol capsules two years ago except I have no idea what retinol was. I guess that could be the reason why there is no side effects now. I am 26 now and am planning to stick with retinol products for a long time. I am using Murad retinol serum and creams as well as Elizabeth Arden retinol capsules. And I just ordered the Neutrogena one and the honest beauty one, can’t wait to try both! I love the Murad one buts it a little bit pricey.
Hello Shuangzi it's great that you have got such amazing results. But one should be very very careful on taking vitamins(internally as well as topically) which are fat soluble. Even if applied topically, it can higher the levels of vitamin A in the body. You are topically applying it and taking it internally as well. You might develop some serious side effects which you will not be able to relate with the vitamin A you are taking. You can develop hypervitaminosis Or may feel dizziness, nausea , liver damage or even some chronic disease. I am only showing my concerns for you..don't take it otherwise holy soul🙂. Fat soluble vitamins needed to be taken very very carefully. You can google about it and then decide what is good for you. I am a biology student that's why I couldn't stop myself from replying you. I have just started tretinoin but I will make sure to use it minimally so that my health is not altered. Have a good health and skin.
Something about you here reminds me of Monica Bellucci🦋😍
i started using tretinoin gel ....mainly for my acne but now after watching your videos. ....i think i am gonna use it for long term basis. I am 22 years old now
I find your videos on tretinoin to be among the most insightful on the platform regardless of the fact you’re not a medical professional.
As someone starting tretinoin at 22, I can only hope I look as good as you in the coming years.
Love your sincere content so far. 🥰
Thank you for your support and encouragement. ❤️
I’m 23 and have always been advocating for my skin with a skincare regime and am interested in starting tretinoin , how do I go about doing this?
where do you get your tretinoin?
Jessica Porter I don’t live in the States so getting tretinoin is as easy as walking into any pharmacy. I understand that it’s a bit different there.
Jennifer, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate the kindness you've shown in sharing your experience. i found you through your bone broth video and then saw that you practice meditation, which is something I have been incorporating into my daily habits. Then I stayed for the rest of your videos. To attest to the effectiveness of your lifestyle, I began drinking bone broth to break my fast. I've been doing it for 3 weeks now and can say that my skin has looked so much brighter and supple as well as my acid reflux has diminished because the broth preps my stomach in the morning for food throughout the day. These healthy habits have also encouraged me to incorporate your other lifestyle suggestions, mostly putting care of myself first. Thank you and I look forward to your continued journey on youtube. Good luck!
What kind of bone broth? Where do u get it?
Britny Snyder I make my own in my instant pot. Jennifer has a recipe on this channel
Thanks Jennifer, very informative🙏
You are so beautiful!!! 😳 thank you for sharing your beauty tips ❤️
You have the skin of my dreams! 😊I use retin a as well but for acne and I’m 35 now it helps with my wrinkles but I still get Botox 😊I am also an avid sunscreen user😊
“Avid sunscreen user” that’s music to my ears lol 👏👍🏼👍🏼
Jennifer Myers what sunscreen do you use and recommend?
You've inspired me! I just started tretinoin, as a senior. I have used sunscreen religiously since I was 22, and used AHAs and BHAs since my early 30s. I just started using castor oil last year. (I like Jojoba and squalane too, and have used snail mucin for about a year.) Now that I am using tretinoin, I have stopped the extras, because I want to simplify. So, tret and castor! In this short time, I can already feel the difference, and see more glow using the tretinoin. You are my inspo!
This was really helpful.
Great Noodle! I'm so glad.
I would love to start your regimen! Gotta start early I see! I will recommend to my sisters,
Do you have an Instagram? I find your approach refreshing, grounded in science and honest. And you're an introvert just like me!
I do not. Thank you
Thanks for another great video!! When I use Retin A, my eyes are very dry. Have you experienced this or have you heard of this side effect?
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for an informative video. May I ask, where do you purchase your Obagi sunscreen please? 😊
your videos are so relaxing :)
You are just wonderful 🤍 Wish you will be back with your sensitive videos... best wishes from Lithuania...
You have the best skin I have ever seen! I will definitely be using Retin-A after seeing your videos.
I was curious if it is possible to use Retin-A with Rosehip oil/other skin oils instead of a moisturiser?
Yes you can, the objective is to create a soothing barrier for your skin (without active ingredient)
Hey jennifer! You look amazing 😍 I was wondering if you sleep on your back or are you a stomach sleeper?
your lashes omg I've never seen lashes that long 😩😍
Thank you Jennifer for sharing your knowledge with the world 🍀🤍🙌🏻
I'm 26 and I've been debating whether to start either differin or tretinoin soon as I do suffer from acne still. Either way I will definitely at some point be on tretinoin for anti aging and I hope to look like you in 12 years!!
I am still debating whether to use it or not. I am in this dilemma. I don’t want to destroy my face
Hi Jennifer is Retin-A useful for indented acne scar too? Thank you for sharing your valuable tips! :)
I use retinol 0.2% with esqualano and it works so well for me 🙂. I use it every day, I had thr harshness and the pimples at first, which really scared me... but now it's OK. I've used the highest SPF my whole life and now that I'm almost 41 people think I'm 28... not kidding. Gene's, yes, but I don't smoke, don't drink and I've cut sugar almost a year ago... 💫
Hi! I just discovered your channel while I was researching about castor oil. I did used to apply castor oil on my lashes and brows since both are sparse borderline nonexistent lol. Since it was difficult for me to study (I was a 3rd yr medical student at that time) while having the castor oil on my lashes and unintentionally on my eyes, I eventually stopped applying it. I'd like to give it another go one of these days. Also, I have been so interested in incorporating Vit. A in my skincare routine but I get so intimidated by some of the effects it might have on my skin (such as dryness, purging). Do you have any advices for a beginner in topical retinol/retinoid products?
By the way, I love your personality and your calm energy. I aspire to have such a calm and poised demeanor with such beautiful skin and lashes as you do. And I just learned that you tested positive for COVID. I hope you're well right now and healthy despite contracting the virus in the past.
I've been binge watching your videos
You're so beautiful
Sending love from South Africa 💖❤✨
Your natural beauty is inspiring. Speaks volumes to what a good regimen can do . Thank you for the refreshing real content you offer. I started Retin-A.50 4 months ago, using it only once a week. I’ve recently upped it to twice a week but I still have such dry flaky skin. I hydrate around eyes nose and mouth before hand, and make sure my skin is dry etc. should I step down to .25? Or is this the expected time frame it takes to adjust to Retin-A. Thanks in advance for any info you can offer! ❤️
If the flakiness is unbearable, then yes you can step down...but I personally stuck with it so my skin could get acclimated. Peeling is the mechanism by which Retin-A works, so it's something that comes with the territory, so to speak. The trade off is a beautiful complexion, so you really have to determine whether it's worth "suffering" for. For me it was!
Jennifer Myers Thank you. I’ll try to stick it out. Was hoping after 4 months I’d be acclimated but I’ll just have to stay patient. Thanks again!
I LOVE seaweed, however I can only eat a very small amount because more than that and my body has an inflammatory-like reaction. My bowels feel aggravated and my skin becomes sensitized with a few itchy rashes. I think it might be the carrageenan in the seaweed, or the iodine. Such a shame though because it contains minerals, vitamins and nutrients. It also makes for a great snack.
If interested in seaweed, look for Kaiso salad mix. It’s a Japanese mixture of dried seaweeds, some of them are actually very pretty looking. You rehydrate them with water. The woman at my Japanese specialty store told me to dress it with a sesame dressing and it is delicious that way.
Thank you for all the valuable information❤ What do you think about Face yoga, have you ever tried it?
Hello, I found your channel thru that castor oil video and I'm so amazed how beautiful you are! I really want to get into retin A, and I have been watching all of your videos and gather all the information you provided, I'm 21 rn, I want to start it but I'm scared I will damage my face.
What I gather from your videos was:
-start with retin A 0.25 1 time a week during 1 month
-after that going 2 times a week for 3 months
And after 6 months go 3 in 3 days,
MY question is when do I change for retin 0.5?
And what if I used retin a 0.25 in my first year just once a week? Will I just waste time?
Idk I'm sorry I'm really scared I can have health problems.
Anyways I know I will have to moisturize everyday and cleanse and sff 50 everyday aswell
Thank you for your videos and if u answer me thank you for your time! Have a good day 💕
You are so beautiful inside and out ❤️
Hi Jennifer, I really love your videos. Thank you for those great tips. I am just wondering is it safe to use tretinoin? I came across an article that mentions "people using tretinoin cream are more likely to die." What are your thoughts about this?
You look absolutely lovely! I hope i look as beautiful as you in the coming years
I started at 22 too. I just turned 23. I’m glad I came across Tret and I’m glad I found your channel 💛 I’m definitely going to use Retin A for as long as I can.
Did you start with Tret or another retinoid?
Which sunscreen you use?
@@viper222 u can use adapalene in starting months. So your skin get used to the chemical
@@dragonballthings688 I have been using tretinoin for 5 moths (twice a week) and my skin still flakes and peels lol. When does that stop?
@@viper222 make it once in 5-6 days. Also, are you using good moisturizer?
I just started using tretinoin 3 weeks ago for my cystic acne, I’ve been only using it once a week but the purge is defiantly happening. Could you please show a comparison of routines your would recommend for the summer time versus the winter time? Thank you for all your videos they have been extremely helpful to me during these past few weeks.
Hi Beautiful! I wish I had started earlier, but it wasn't even discussed back then and I was baking in the sun in my 20's. What were we thinking? I've been using Retin A now for 5 years, started at age 47 and I love it. It's the one product I won't be without now, as well as sunscreen!! :)
Sunscreen is a must, yes! Good Holly!
Holly I too started retin A when I was 40, I will be 42 soon so nearly two years of using it and it transformed my skin completely, I have better skin now then when I was 30. I only started using sunscreen regularly at 40 too but growing up in Northern Europe, fortunately, saved me from damaging my skin too much as there is not that much sun there at all 😉
Better late then never, Holly! :)
@@blue3374Yep, it's never too late.:) I've always done skincare, but just not Retin A until 2015. At 52 it's been my go to product and I use it nighty unless I'm doing another treatment. 👍
Thank you very much Jennifer!
Have you ever thought switching to retinaldehyde? It is a gentler version of tretinoin but without the side effects and studies show that it is as effective as tretinoin.
You certainly do not look your age. You look far younger. Well done! This is the perfect video for teens and 20 something’s to watch.
Hello, Jeniffer! How do you think about skin care using essential oil(Rose, lavender, lemon and others)?
Hello Jennifer! Could you please list down the products you used and their brands? I did not catch the product names in the video, hehe. Thank you very much for the informative sharing!
Thank you for your informative videos. Also I admire the way you speak. You have explained why you use castor oil for your eye area. I want to ask : have you thought of using it for your entire face? As a part of skin care or maybe as occasional oil mask? Or have u tried oil - cleanse ur face with it ? Thanks
Your eyelashes are so nice. Is there anyway you can show before pictures from when you didn’t use the castor oil on them?
Yes m too want to know
Unfortunately I don't have dedicated before pics (although of course I have pictures of me from 7 years ago - not close up zoomed into my lashes, I'm talking about). The reason for that is because when I started my castor oil massage protocol, I had no expectation of it working. I thought I had nothing to lose, because my lashes have always been typical Asian lashes (average in length and not very thick)...I never expected them to grow to how they look now. That being said, keep in mind that it took over 3 months for me to even see a slight difference, and I almost quit (twice lol). Because I thought, "it's not doing anything." Boy was I wrong. Also keep in mind that doing anything for 7 years consistently each night is a long time! All these years of practicing oil massage has nourished the roots and my entire eye area, in fact. I credit it with my smooth eye skin, too, not just my lashes.
@@JenniferMyers hi Jennifer where you buy your sunscreen? Please
@@JenniferMyers thank you for that bit of information. I have just started using castor oil for my lashes and according to some reviews online, people have seen results in as little as 2 weeks. It's very helpful to know that it took more than 3 months for you to just see a slight difference. I shall try to be patient as I attempt to use castor oil to improve the quality of my lashes.
@@allisaminathan1363 2 weeks?!??!? That's super impressive. 2 weeks is a very short duration of time to see results!
In my next life I will wear driving gloves as soon as I get my license.
I wish I had tought of that when I was in my twenties 😥
Upload your complete hair routine in a week
And products you use for hair
Like shampoo oil or serums etc
Question: when you use retinol, what do you do before during and after going to the beach. I live in tropical country. I am still researching about Retinol before i commit.
Jennifer, can you show a demonstration of your Retin A application? I’m curious how you treat the area around your eyes. I know many use too much or too little.
I started using Retin A 3 years ago. I am 61 and it has been a game changer for me. My biggest regret is not using it sooner. 🥰
It is a total game changer; no doubt. It's the only thing I do for legitimate so-called anti-aging of my skin, and my results have been remarkably satisfactory. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience.
Is it ok to start with sandwich method retinol A cream 0.01 at the age of 45
Pls tell me first sunscreen the moisture or moisture the sunscreen
Hi Jennifer .. Thank you for such wonderful videos.. Can you pls share about how you treated kertosis pilaris on upper arms?
