  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
  • 👋 Hey skincare nerds! 👋 Sorry it’s been awhile!
    This week I’m here to help you figure out which retinol serum is best for you. We’ll be comparing the Paula’s Choice 1% retinol treatment, CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum, the Inkey List retinol anti-aging serum, the Ordinary’s retinol 1% in squalane and Drunk Elephant a-passioni cream.
    🚨 WARNING: GO SLOW AND LOW!!! 🚨
    1% retinol is strong and can be very sensitizing, so please, patch test, take it slow and start with 3x a week nightly. As your skin gets used to it, you can slowly move up to every other night and then SLOWLY move up to every night. Consider using a lower concentration first if you are just starting out!!!

    About The Ordinary 0.5% Retinol:
    I have very oily, acne prone skin (cystic acne as well) and I used prescription retinol about 10 years ago for a short time (and then it scared me away). But since than none. A few weeks ago I started to use this 2-3 times / week at evenings and at first it irritated my skin and had to wash it off after 10 minutes. But from the 2nd time onwards I had no irritation apart from it drying my skin out. That was a plus with the oily shine lessening. I use a hyaluronic acid or damask rose sheet mask about 1-2 hours after the retinol (don't wash off the retinol). And moisturize a lot before bed and at morning.
    So... its oily consistency is not necessarily an issue for us and don't freak out from the first reaction.

    I use dove bar for cleaning my face twice a day. Then I put my spf45 Peter Thomas lotion on my face as well. But I’ve been doing two days on and two days off with the inkey list retinol at night. It’s been 3-4 weeks now. My skin has been glowing, my cheeks are more red, has more colour, it’s been clearing up my acne spot on my one side of my face, and it’s not that noticeable but noticeable to me. Which I’ve been trying to clear up for literally 10 years. I’m 27. I still have pimples on my face. But not as bad breakouts anymore and my skin has been so soft. Love it.

      This is the worst channel on skincare. Everything she says is misleading or incorrect. Doctorly is a good channel if you want an alternative to a clueless chirpy young girl with no qualification or experience. Ideally, you shouldn't be buying any of these products and rather should be using tretinoin at night. Tretinoin is 20-50 times as effective as these retinol products as demonstrated by studies for anti-aging and improving pigmentation and skin thickness. I didn't hear her mention that all retinol treatments should be used at night either or that they increase sun sensitivity. Using one of these products she is advertising is largely snake oil, and any effects you see are placebo - using these very weak products could help if using every night for years and more in the improvement of aging and general skin appearance, but the results will not be dramatic and nothing like tretinoin. Applying a suncream throughout the day is 1000 x more important, and other products are mental masturbation.

      +how the hell she would advertise tretinoin when it’s so damn harsh on some skin types
      You know that tretinoin is more effective and stronger so if someone with the an allergy would use it it would be a disaster
      it’s not something you use without a permission from a dermatologist who knows what is exactly skin type and if you have allergic reaction against it
      She can’t advertise something when she don’t know exactly what the viewer skin type is and their health state
      So right retinol might not be as effective as tretinoin (although it’s so damn effective for me) it’s much safer for her to advertise in her position

      @@pspspspspspspspspspspspspspss i) It is evident she does not know what she is talking about to someone who has some experience and education in the field; ii) you shouldn't be taking advice about medical issues from a young girl with no qualifications; iii) she does not mention that any retinol products should be used only at night; iv) retinol products are relatively ineffectual and she is working through products, without understanding of the ingredients; v) you said the retinol product is "so damn effective for me" - this is untrue and/or a placebo; it takes 6 months - 1 year for tretinoin to start having mildly noticeable results nevermind a very weak retinol product - the science does not bear about noticeable results. If used nightly for a decade, putting faces side by side, there would be some difference; vi) tretinoin does NOT commonly ignite allergies more than any other OTC product - you are more likely to have an allergic reaction statistically to BP, or an AHA or BHA; vii) tretinoin is not "so damn harsh" - you apparently have never used it. You can use it every other night, lower concentrations and smaller amounts and work up; vii) actually tretinoin products are over the counter in MOST countries in the world, it just happens that in the US (and some countries in Europe) that it requires a prescription (any doctor will usually do, not a derm) but you will not find a single anecdotal case on the entire internet where someone has been refused the prescription. There are various reasons for why it is not OTC in the US; including supply chain and potential harm for children. You certainly wouldn't want an 8 year old using it. The US does supply products like Differin OTC which contains adapalene which is much stronger than retinol; and viii) "skin type" diagnosis was created by the cosmetic industry to sell products, skin is dynamic and changes all the time - oily, combination, dry etc. leads many people, like yourself, down silly rabbit holes.
      Her channel is generally ignorant and extremely harmful to young people, like yourself, who like her chirpy presentation style - unfortunately over any substance. Product comparisons and reviews like this hide her complete lack of understanding over effective ingredients, or indeed skincare in general. I suggest a channel run by a dermatologist. There is nothing wrong with trying a retinol product out before you go on tretinoin, but the lack of information in this video is heavily negligent.

      Hey! Here’s my update: my skin is healthier than ever!! I stick to cerave’s retinol for longer period of time lol. Only started using Paula’s Choice on Nov’21. In my experience, retinol does work to quickly get rid of pimples without breaking my skin. I love the Paula’s choice one, you can tell it’s stronger and more effective😉 As for treating hyperpigmentation, i resort to using azelaic acid and tranexamic acid. Both from Paula’s choice too!

    I've had hormoal acne since around 2019. I've been on epiduo and it worked but after a few months of REALLY clear skin i started to break out around my chin again. I got epiduo forte which also worked for a while but recently i've been breaking out again. I just ran out of epiduo forte and i decided to try to use the ordinary 1% retinol every night instead. I've been on it for 3 days now and so far my skin got pretty dry on day 2 but since my skin has been through the epiduo dryness stage it calmed down pretty quickly. Today however, i woke up with 2 new pimples and i think one of them might be a cyst. I recently bought an aloe vera plant so i'm going to start putting on pure aloe vera gel on my skin after cleaning it and before any other skincare products. I don't know how well aloe vera and retinol is going to work but i'm hoping for the best

      @@lisatrd Well a lot has happened. I was on the retinol for about a week but when i started breaking out again i got scared and called the doctor. The doctor prescribed Acnatac and i’ve been on it for about 7 weeks now. It worked very fast but about 5 days ago i started breaking out again so i called the doctor back and now i’m also taking Tetralysal (oral antibiotic). So far so good, my skin is pretty much clear at this point. I’m supposed to be on Acnatac for 12 weeks and Tetralysal for 3 months and after that i’m going to start a journey of getting rid of my scars by getting sessions of dermapen. Hopefully my acne wont come back after i stop using tetralysal because then i won’t be able to get the facials. It really sucks that my acne keeps coming back but i do have more hope now that i am taking oral medication for it instead of just creams. I do however think the retinol could work great for a lot of people and i do still use retinol sometimes (not sure if i should tho) in the AM before moisturizing. Generally i sadly think i’m one of those people who only can beat the acne by fixing the imbalance inside of my body.
      Sorry for the rant lol

Also, I’d recommend to only stick with a gentle cleanser, retinol, moisturizer, and sunscreen for the first two months while your skin is undergoing retinization (skip the treatments and exfoliants), and remember to push through even though your skin might look worse than how it was before ^^

    A little note on what you said about The Ordinary Retinol potentially being more irritating: the squalane is actually there to prevent that from happening. I started using the 1% serum & I can apply it every single night in generous amounts without my skin getting irritated. I don't know if that's just my skin though. Paula's Choice 1% serum seems to be more potent though (& it should be for 60 dollars) as it's reviews are full of people who complain it nearly burnt their faces off (because they didn't listen to the instructions of course).

You literally can't use 30ml of serum up after 3 months. And I'm even afraid it would go bad even sooner with that kind of packaging. Thanks for your video, I'm 25 and would love to try the others.

    Been using the 0.5% retinol by ordinary for about three months now starting from once a week to 4-5 times a week now. I have hormonal acne and this product purged me a lot at first but it got quite better, however it hasn’t faded any acne scars yet. I’ve read that it takes up to six months of use to see results so I’m definitely gonna keep using it. I have dry face as well and the product is oily so there are no dry patches for me. I have to mention that 30 ML of product is a lot because as you mentioned the packaging is cheap and it expires within 3 months and you only need a few drops so I’ve used like 10ml so far maybe even less it’s still a bargain though for his prize
