What is the science behind retinol?
Retinol belongs to the powerful family of molecules known as retinoids. These are vitamin A derivatives with multiple functions in the skin including reduction of pigmentation, improved cellular turnover, stimulation of collagen synthesis, & reduction of oil production.
What are the benefits of retinol?
Improved skin texture & quality. Retinol has antioxidant, anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, as well as antibacterial properties, hence its use in acne prone skin.
Anti-aging. Retinol decreases pigmentation but increases collagen production. This results in clearer skin texture with less wrinkles & smaller pores.

Don't forget to mention that retinol should never be used around the eyes (even though you would really want to) because it is proven to damage the oil glands that moisturize the eye and over time can lead to dry eye disease (which may even be irreversible). There are way too many dermatologist videos on the topic that only consider the effects on the skin, but if you also check out what the opthalmologists are saying, they're pretty clear on the issue...
Thanks for sharing the info.
Damn, I'd better stop using it around my eyes! I already have dry eyes to begin with. But what if it migrates there from elsewhere on your face, since people usually use it at night and then go to sleep with their face on a pillow?
@@SchlichteToven Yes, that can be an issue too, but I guess they don't know exactly. The video I saw said to leave out a huge area corresponding to where a sleep mask would be - that's essentially half your face... (I personally don't leave that much out but try to put the retinol on at least an hour before bed so it has time to absorb properly before I hit the pillow.) I guess you could try to experiment, maybe cut it out entirely for a while and see if your eyes improve.
Thank you so much for sharing this
Olay have a product called Regenerist Retinol24 eye cream, i wonder if it's dangerous
Seriously the most, concise, clear, informative explanation yet- thanks a million for making it simple to understand. I didn’t have to wade through hours of waffle to get the point 👍🏻😍
One of the most comprehensive videos on this, very complete! loved it, thanks so much!
Another great vid, thanks Dr Davin Lim for making good skin care more accessible and easy to understand 🙌
Thank you so much Dr Lim for this concise and thorough video ❤️ I was looking for this piece of information for quite a bit a finally I have all the answers I needed
Thanks for this Dr!
You're a pleasure to listen to & explain everything so well!
With Asian skin and hyper pigmentation, I really to be careful with scarring. Luckily I listen to your advice. Thanks Dr. Good-looking! 😘
Just what I was looking for. Thank you for the straight to the point explanation
So glad to see you posting more regularly again. The information you provide is SO helpful and always presented in a simple and easy to understand manner.
❤❤
Short and sweet and clear, loved this video!!
I'm so glad that you're back on youtube! Thanks a lot for this video!
Thanks for this video. Simple, rapid and useful, with lots of important info.
Such a great video. Easy to understand for beginners. Thanks Doc 😊
Really appreciate the context and the simple way it is presented. Thank you.
Such a humble kind man
I use my retinol around my eyes, but it is a granactive retinoid and I ALWAYS put eye cream over it. I was told to do this by my optician, I wear contact lenses - so have to be careful around the eye area. So far so good!
Brilliant explanation, clear and concise. thank you !!❤
Professional, informative, assertive and thorough! Thank you so much for this high quality video. It has helped a lot!
Great video. Everything in simple words. Thanks
Thank you Dr. Davin! Great video and easy fro understand or beginners.
That was very straight to the point and helpful thank you!
It is so great to have an Australian Doctor I loved you talk about Retinol as I am 79 and are starting to get and have lines. 💙
what retinol are you getting?
Very informative, precise and straight to the point ! Thanks
Important to mention that when using retinol one must be extra careful with the sun, since retinol drastically increases sensitivity to UV light, broad spectrum SPF is a must. Another thing - it is forbidden for pregnant and nursing women. Even if the chance of it affecting the baby is small - better to be on the safe side.
Hi.
What good sunscreen would you suggest for super oily skin that don't leave a cast?
@@_darkerblue try Cetaphil liposomal lotion
Would you only use retinol in winter then?
From what I know you can use any time of the year but must be extra careful with the sunlight. Any well known brand would do. It must be high protection (40 and above) and preferably broad spectrum (against both UVA and UVB rays).
@@_darkerblue If you are in the UK, I recommend using Eucerin Oil Control suncream SPF 50. I have oily acne skin and no breakouts at all. It is only £16 (£12 atm on offer) and lasts around 4-5 months with daily usage.
I am so happy you mentioned that I can keep on using azelaic acid. I have rosacea (but I'm controlling it very well after realising I'm lactose intolerant) but azelaic acid helps my skin massively. I'm super new to retinol so I found this video very informative :)
I've been on Azelaic Acid 15% (rosacea) and over the counter retinol for 4 months and it's been amazing. No irritation. I just began tretinoin but I'm adding it very very slowly just to be on the safe side.
The most helpful video so far for first time user of Retinol. Thank you so much 💕💕
i loved this because if was short, concise and super informative
Excellent advice. This is a very knowledgeable and wise Doctor.
Subscribed !! You're very thorough ! Easy to understand
You made this easy to understand. Thank you!
An excellent video on a complex subject - one important note: using Retinol increases sun sensitivity which means you need to protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen which should be applied every single day.
I heard from a dermatologist that actually this is not true (only if you took retinol aka vitamin A orally for acne). But of you don't use sun protection after using retinol, it's like you did nothing for your skin.
Thank you, especially for the information on what to use with retinol and what not to use with it. I have a bottle of The Ordinary .05% and a bottle of 1%. I was reluctant to start retinol but now I will proceed.
Thank you for sharing this information, Dr Davin! ❤
I LOVE the murad retinol products. They are sooo good for my super dry, sensitive skin
thank you for this very direct, simple, and practical advice for skin care. I have been using them for quite some time my retinol from Korea and Niacinamide- it works great on my skin, especially on the face. My face is always hydrated and soft. Thank you Dr Lim
Great advice and concise. Thank you!
Hello sir Davin. I would like to thank you for showing me the DermaRollers. My face definitely improved since then.
This was very helpful . Thank you Doc .
Thank you Dr.Lim!💯
Honestly the one that works best for me is the ordinary, and ive tried over 10 types
I started using Olay retinol24 cleanser and moisturizer. I feel like my skin has really been improved.
Thank you for making a sub-10 min video on retinol!
Great video - thanks Dr Lim
My daughter just bought some for me today. Very informative. Thank you!
Brilliant explanation, thank you!
No one mentioned these combos and do and don’t so clearly 🙏🏻👌👌👌
Really liked this video! Thank you!
Interesting, because as someone with acneic skin, I've been prescribed to use Epiduo which actually is a combination of adapalene (a topical retinoid) WITH benzoyl peroxide...it's a gel that I use only at night and I'm on the "extra strong" formulation of it now, and it's helped my skin a lot.
I use the same, but my skin gets really irritated after I use it for 3-4 nights in a row, any suggestions?
@@user-ej8sz8zs3xhow long have you been using it? If youve been using it for 3mos now maybe you should apply a gentle moisturizer before/after applying epiduo
@@user-ej8sz8zs3x Use it every other night OR ask your doctor to split in two different products - for example a benzoyl peroxide face wash (up to 3% would be ok) in the morning (dont forget the sunscreen) and the retinoid at night. Or one night retinoid and the other BPO.
@@user-ej8sz8zs3xdon't?
Try using it every other night
Thank you so much for this video ! I learned so much ..
Thank you for the video ❤❤❤❤ what a knowledgeable Dr.
Amazing video, thanks doctor!
This is so easy to understand! Thank uuuu
Thanks for this. I found it very informative ❤
simple and informative .. love it
Thank you doctor for great recommendation 🙏
Thank you, doctor! You are the best! Dana from Bucharest Roumania
Fantastic information!! Thank you!!
Very informative video! Thank you!
Sweet and short! Thanks
You are my favorite Dermatologist
Than you for all your help. You are the best x
Thanks a lot for the video❤❤❤ perfectly explained
I alternate with retinal. And Doc, I am living for your hair.
Thank you, doc! I've learned a lot. 🥰
Retinol is my favorite component in cosmetics. I combine retinol with niacinamide as I have oily skin
In retrospect, I should have watched this video first before blasting my skin off with differin by applying it 3 nights in a row. I thought because it was the OTC formulation and I regularly use acids that my face could handle it 😅
And thank you for the section on what skin products can and cannot be used with retinoids! Very vital for the crazies who like to YOLO with a bunch bottles from the ordinary (can't be me 😜)
I did this and I purged instantly... now I use retinol alternative days..
@@xPikaRawr yeah i'll have to try again when I get the courage to
Because it’s really tempting haha we need to hold off from using it everyday day. I’m using retinol every 2 days.
Niacinamid and retinol are awesome together. I only use these two products together and they are working just fine. I think less is more in skincare. I actually use topical retinoid on my face (0.5% retinal) which works just fine for me and I have sensitive skin. For my eyes I use 0.2% retinol in a cream which should be fine for the oil glands too.
Can you tell me...how to use niacinamide and retinol together
@@sushitha1972 Niacinamide comes in Moisturizer nowadays so just pick a moisturizer with it.
This is so informative and well explained
Hey Guys, You can in fact used Retinol with Vitamin C during the night. Here is how you do it. Cleanse your face and let it dry then apply vitamin C, wait for at least 30 mins for your skin ph to come back to normal (since Vit. C has lower ph than retinol) then apply retinol. Wait 5 to 10 min then apply moisturizer with niacinamide. Now if you have sensitive skin, I would only use one of the two product until you skin get used to it.
very useful! thank for the insight. love from Indonesia
So nice video! Thank you !!😊
The Ordinary 1% is strong and perfect and under $10. Once in a while I get a defective bottle though.
What do you mean a defective bottle?
@@iiLuvvEminem probably a broken bottle lol
Great video. I was surprised that you didn’t mention to always apply a moisturizer after you apply your retinol at bedtime. This is separate from products mentioned that you can apply an hour before or after. Moisturizer should almost always be applied after retinol unless there are special considerations or recommendations made by an expert or something. It’s Retinol 101.
Yes it’s a good simple and straightforward video. Thank you for sharing
Followed you! Thank you for this information 😊
I was trying to find a video w these facts. I finally found this video AFTER i already put retinol eye cream on WITH vitamin C. Well at least now i know! Thanks
Great video ❤….congrats!!!
Thank u so much, it's really helpful ❤️❤️
Can you make a video about retinol and the eye area? I've heard it's bad to use around the eyes. What can we use instead?
The best advice from the best dermatologist doctor!!!!!!
Very informative video 🙏
Please do a video on pregnancy/breastfeeding safe skincare and skin treatments
Guys, the doc said we should not mix certain ingredients, but if they are already integrated in a product by the manufacturer it is most likely ok.
Great video thank you 😊
This explains so much, im a ginger so i wanted to give it a try, burned like hell so tried a different one . Tur s out they all had hyliron acid and vitamin c as well
Thank you so much for this video! what about hyaluronic acid and retinol?
Love this video
Great information! What are your thoughts in taking glutathione supplements for glowing skin and overall health?
Can we use hyaluronic acid with retinol?
Que opina de Redermic R de la Roche Posay?Gracias🙌
Thank you dr for this informations
Dr Lim. It is safe or ok to use Alpha Arbutin 2%+HA? I m using retinnoin .025% daily with Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide. Thank you.
I like your subtitles
thank you doctor!
Great! Thank you
It’s understood that acids might make it more prone to irritation if you have sensitive skin but it’s not exactly ‘bad’ for your skin. I read that not mixing acids with retinol came from a study that has now been disproven and using both in moderation especially with a good moisturizer is fine. I wonder what anyone’s experiences have been…
I use vitamin c . AHA and retinol together at night . Recommended by my doctor . I see no issues
It all depends on your skin's tolerance level of whichever ingredients (acids or anything else) you want to use. My skin won't tolerate tretinoin (not yet, anyway) but does well with retinaldehyde, and I can layer it 1-3 times a week with a leave-on 10% AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) exfoliant. I can also use vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with it. Some people's skin won't tolerate vitamin C even without vitamin A (using this label to cover retinoic acid and all its derivatives like retinol) involved, so those people obviously shouldn't try layering vitamin C and vitamin A. Some people's skin is sensitive to glycolic acid at any strength but will tolerate mandelic acid, a gentler AHA; they might be able to use mandelic acid alongside vitamin A.
If in doubt, the safest route, besides asking your own doctor, is to alternate days or time of day: use vitamin A at night and other active ingredients in the morning, or use vitamin A on a completely different day than other actives.
Dr. Davin, can I switch between Retinol and Retinoid from time to time?
Can you use BHAs combined withe retinol or do the same "rules" as AHAs apply? This video is great!!!
❤nice info 😊🎉
Please remember to let the skin dry after the shower for at least 30 minutes before retinol, if you are using a potent retinol, specially tretinoin (adapalen/differin)
oh, how come? I often do my skincare with slightly damp skin cause I can't be bothered waiting.😄
If you leave your just-washed skin unmoisturized for 30 minutes, your skin will lose hydration. That’s not what you want, especially while using a retinoid like tretinoin which can cause excessive dryness. Instead, go through your skincare routine as usual. After you apply a moisturizer to seal in hydration, apply the retinoid over it. That way, your skin’s nicely moisturized before vitamin A joins the party, plus a moisturizer can help buffer some of the retinoid’s irritating side effects.
@@Robin-bn3hv Yes, you can use a cream after washing (not necessarly), but you should wait 30 minutes before aplying tretinoin to avoid iritation. Beginners can try instead to "sandwich" tretinoin - Moisturiser + Tretinoin + Moisturiser
@@enacheadriana654 Unless you're one of the (probably rare) people who truly don't need to use a moisturizer of some kind, it's a bad idea to let your freshly washed skin sit for 30 minutes without moisturizing it to prevent water loss. You can apply moisturizer and then wait 30 minutes to apply tretinoin over it, sure. But without moisturizer, people with dry skin, or even those with combo skin, will likely end up with even more dryness than tretinoin itself can cause.
Also, you don't really have to sandwich tretinoin between 2 layers of moisturizer. You can if you want, of course. But all a retinoid newbie needs is a layer of moisturizer followed by tretinoin. The ol' sandwich method won't cause issues. I'm just saying it's not necessary for most newbies.
@@Robin-bn3hvgreat comment, thanks! ❤️❤️❤️✌️
