I had a very fine line under my right eye and i tried their retinol eye cream for a week. To my surprise it did smoothed out the line. So it works but only for very fine wrinkles. That eye cream convinced me to use their retinol face cream and i love it!
You may want to try Adapalene, which is also a retinoid. I had the same type of acne as you and it helped loads and dr dray recommends it all thr time too! I still have acne but way less than prior to using it.
Thank you for showing us these results with this product. I’ve been interested in it since it’s been so well recommended. Can’t wait to see how it goes with the derm! I’ve never been to one and am considering it. Good luck on your journey.
Try to not eat dairy too! I had painful acne all my life. I gave up dairy and my face cleared up, no more lumps or pain. Same for my child. 5 years acne free. Try it, for a few months. You’ll see. And you’re beautiful. Good luck.
Good advice Apple 🍎, I did go dairy free a while ago and it didn't make a difference for my skin. I guess everybody's different but thankyou for sharing what worked for you! It's always great to hear someones first hand experience!
Thanks for uploading this video. Sometimes I get so frustrated because I also have acne and it gets pretty bad from time to time. I saw a dermatologist a few years ago and she told me I had too many androgens… so she prescribed pills to regulate that hormonal unbalance and it worked! For two or three years my skin was ok…now it’s back to normal so I’lI probably go see that dermatologist again. You’re beautiful as always ☺️
hmm that's so interesting... i feel like dermatologists are expensive but the price is worth it!! You're message makes me excited to start the process with a professional 💕 and ty for the compliment, ur bootiful 2🥺 xoxo
Hey Levi, I definitely know what it's like to not have money for the necessities. I ended up cancelling my appointment because at the time, I couldn't end up affording my appointment. I changed my diet and stuck with a fragrance free skincare routine and my skin has improved a lot.
i know this video is pretty old but have you tried epiduo? i has bumps like that for years, nothing worked. epiduo made them all disappear within 3 weeks. it contains the retinoid adapalene.
Yes! Love Dr. Dray. She’s so informative…. If you want to see an update on how my skins looking, my recent video has my face with no makeup. Hope that helps xx I’ll make an actual update about my skincare routine soon 😬🥰
All you need is Noxzema Ultimate Clear Anti-Blemish Pads. My gf had the exact same problems as you. All the stuff she was using was causing all the trouble. She stopped wearing gobs of makeup, and kept her face clean with the pads. The salicylic acid cane be difficult for some people, but you just learn how to adjust. All those clogged pores will go away, along with the pimples.
Hi Charlie,iv literally just brought this moisturiser cream today.I’m 41 so thought I’d start using anti aging cream at night. May I also say iv had huge success with CeraVe blemish control cleanser.I use it every day/night and has help clear up my breakouts and bumps on my face.I 100% recommend this product ☺️ Great video btw…take care!
Retinol requires two conversions to become Retinoic acid aka tretinoin which explains why it's not as strong as tret. It's a slow process but as you pointed out, it does work! There's a lot of research to back it up. But you're right, it's best to pay a visit to a dermatologist because your acne might be a hormonal issue, which this product (or tret and even adapalene for that matter) won't be able to address.
I changed my diet before going to that dermatologist appointment and end up cancelling that appointment because the diet really helped! I started using a mixed blend of herbal medicine for balancing female hormones. It helped so much, I never saw your comment until now but turns out you were onto something!!
Hey, just thought I’d let you know that Vaseline IS petroleum. It only has 1 ingredient and that’s petroleum jelly. I remember you said in your first video on this product that you watch Dr Dray, and she discusses Vaseline and her opinion on it there.
It's the only thing that actually created a barrier between my skincare and eczema. I think yes, it was playing a roll into my acne but it worked, my skin learnt how to tolerate retinol slowly without giving me eczema. Eczema is 100% times worse than acne and it's just a slower journey for some. Putting a TINY bit of vaseline only in the sensitive areas helps! You can see how my skin cleared up in my recent vid
I wanted to try this too but I also heard people recommending just starting with tretinoin start away, it’s the gold standard. But it needs to be prescribed, I’m curious to see what your derm recommended - I’ll check out more of your videos!
I recorded this video over a year ago so I really can't remember, it MIGHT be Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria, Pillow Talk or Stoned Rose! I often use Pillow Talk lip liner or Iconic Nude... sorry I can't remember, hope that helps!
Hi! Thank you for this review update! Hope your derm appointment goes well. I get hormonal acne too, and am about to start Neutrogena stubborn marks retinol serum soon. Azclear worked so well for me but I'm after both acne control and antiwrinkle hence the shift to retinol
Thankyou so much Nicky! I actually put off the derm appointment because I purchased a health powder that levels your hormones along with a glycolic acid face wash. It's been helping so much! I get what you mean with the Azclear, it's good but ya always want something that does more when you use it lol. Hope the serum serves you well!
Hola omg I waited for this video haha thanks for reviewing after 3 months!! I feel like it's a great product for anti aging but in terms of treating active acne specifically might not be strong enough! Would need a stronger product specifically spot treatment like Adapalene or Tret. Though personally I'd try out adapalene first if you can get Differin over the counter! I heard many good reviews abt it planning to get that myself :) For cleanser I've been using the new cerave acne foaming cleanser with 4% BPO every night and honestly I did notice that it does help control my hormonal acne! It's a better option than the Panoxyl too bec it's has additional ingredients like HA, ceramides and niacinamide. GOOD LUCK GORL
Hola BEANZ! I've been heavily considering both tret and adap as of recent. Adap is wayyy cheaper though so I am considering jumping in before a derm appointment... might make a video if i give it a go. I've been curious about that cleanser too, nice to hear how it's been for you, I'll look into that for sure. THANK YA xxoxo
Could you please let me know how long this 1.7 oz-"jar" last? I just received one, but it expires in October, I'm not sure if I should return it. #THANKS!!
/what do you use for wash your face? I use an acnedote salicylic acid wash and a neutrogena makeup melt to get all of that junk off first lol. I love your videos. I just realized that this is an older video so I’m going to catch up!
haha don't apologise, I'm actually going to upload a new video about this soon because my skin has gotten better since my most recent vids... I use to use salicylic acid but have noticed that Glycolic acid actually works a lot better on me. I use the neutrogena extra gentle cleanser
Hi, your skin looks absolutely amazing. Does it work good for dark spots too? I heard it does but I’ve been watching TH-cam videos to see results. I don’t have terrible dark spots or any acne.
Hi, have you tried the Neutrogena clear and defend moisturiser? I'm 37 and still get acne, my face is so sensitive. It's the only moisturiser my skin can tolerate and it's cleared beautifully! Cleanse with a gentle cleanser that has salicylic acid, and then the moisturiser (it has salicylic acid in it) And for single pimples I use benzac 10% cream but haven't for a while since my skin is good now. Just thought I'd share what worked for me 😊
Honestly Neutrogena has such good products! Their gentle face wash works and is so cheap. I haven't tried that moisturiser but I might give it a go. I'm using the Cerave standard moisturiser at the moment and it's going well. May I ask... what salicylic acid face wash do you use? I've used the Cerave one and didn't like it. Thanks for sharing what works for you! It's so helpful !! xx thankyouuu :)
Tip for your skin: Some SPF suncreens can cause acne. If you want a home remedy that I use for acne. Apple Cider vinegar (Mother of Earth) 1 part to 3 parts Water. Dab it on those pimples Daily Works amazing
I had a very fine line under my right eye and i tried their retinol eye cream for a week. To my surprise it did smoothed out the line. So it works but only for very fine wrinkles. That eye cream convinced me to use their retinol face cream and i love it!
Nice! I might try out that eye cream 😉
It could’ve just been the Dimethicone. I think retinol takes a few months
@@fruitpunch5260 true to that homie!
Try Beauty of Joseon retinol cream. It is 10 lvl above this expensive crap. And cheaper.
lies

I'm a guy and this stuff is amazing
I'm still using it!
Any updates @interactive ? I'm thinking of getting a jar this week. Wondering how it works for guys
I also use Neutrogena’s moisturizer for sensitive skin on top of that. And that’s all I use and it works for me.
Do still apply your night cream on it??
I would try the Neutrogenea 0.3% Retinol Pro that retinol is stronger than the one you’re using but is still gentle. Definitely give it a try
Ooo! thank you for the suggestion :) I might!

I remember you said in your first video on this product that you watch Dr Dray, and she discusses Vaseline and her opinion on it there.
Well i think she's aware but she doesn't want to put petroleum on the majority of her face that gets bumpy. Just a dab under her eyes and on her lips

I never ended up seeing the derm! I actually still use it and my skin is clear now!
@@charliedee2271 yes I saw how clear it is in your latest video, that’s awesome!
Try taking collagen I know a lot of people take collagen for acne there’s capsules, gummy and powders.
Oooo thank you !!
It's irrelevant to your video but could I ask what lipstick and the colour you use in this video ^^ really love that
I recorded this video over a year ago so I really can't remember, it MIGHT be Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria, Pillow Talk or Stoned Rose! I often use Pillow Talk lip liner or Iconic Nude... sorry I can't remember, hope that helps!
Thinking of buying thank you very informative and I love your top where did you buy it 😍
It's called the " NIBBER Elegant Sexy V-neck Mesh Top " on Ali Express! Not the biggest fan of the quality but it is cute.
Hope that helps xx

Could you please let me know how long this 1.7 oz-"jar" last? I just received one, but it expires in October, I'm not sure if I should return it. #THANKS!!
5-6 months, you only need a dab best mixed with moisturiser in my opinion if you have sensitive skin. I reckon get a new one!
@@charliedee2271Thank you so much!!💖
Please princes use Medik 8 crystal retinol this is awesome product for acne
I'll look into it, thanks! xx
Do you use any salicylic acid to spot treat?

I use to use salicylic acid but have noticed that Glycolic acid actually works a lot better on me. I use the neutrogena extra gentle cleanser
soctorly also recommended this
The renew is mostly talking about the wrinkle and fine lines, not necessarily acne as this is primarily related to aging skin
Hi, your skin looks absolutely amazing. Does it work good for dark spots too? I heard it does but I’ve been watching TH-cam videos to see results. I don’t have terrible dark spots or any acne.
it looks better in my recent garlic face mask video but thankyou, for dark spots i actually noticed azelaic acid gives me the best results.
My skin didn’t like the cera ve moisturizer.. Just my face specifically. It made it slightly inflamed and just made it more red than usual.
Totally! I also think it broke out my sister too
Can I use this for acne?
It helps, not the best cure though idk what your situation issss

Try Neutrogena acne free face wash (2% salicylic acid). It will definitely work.
thank you !
Sorry to inform you but the Vaseline has petroleum in it also
fanks x
Tip for your skin:
Some SPF suncreens can cause acne.
If you want a home remedy that I use for acne.
Apple Cider vinegar (Mother of Earth)
1 part to 3 parts Water.
Dab it on those pimples Daily
Works amazing
thankyou!!
its becoz u mix it with another product..
Because you loaded it with too many products. Try olay 24 retinol cream only
thanks babe best advice love that so good xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :D
For me this cream was useless. Beauty of Joseon retinol cream was a miracle who solved all my problems.
