    I’ve literally witnessed this over the past few years as an informed skincare and social media consumer. If companies can sell you a Retinol, they can sell you even more products and treatments to chase the negligible effects of retinol (in comparison to retinoic acid). My aesthetician literally told me that she was taught to discourage Tretinoin use because it limits what she can do and sell in the treatment room. (She remained wise and informed enough to encourage Tretinoin though), and said that I would notice less of a visible result with professional glycolic acid peels vs. her non-Tretinoin clients because my 45 year-old skin is already in great shape. (And indeed, I noticed NOTHING after a series of six 50% glycolic acid peels). Without direct RAR-gamma activation, retinol is such a time and wallet drainer. I currently use Renova Tretinoin .02% 5 nights a week and Trifarotene 2 nights. Now, the messaging on how Tretinoin is too aggressive and ruining our skin, never intended for long term use, causes calloused skin, “inflammaging”, etc. is running rampant on socials BIG TIME. While all can be the case, it’s usually due to improper usage, concomitant use with too many unnecessary and inflammatory products (e.g. hyaluronic acid), dosage, the number of RARs in the skin, etc. and we all know, the dose makes the poison with any medication and using it on macerated cells seems a recipe for disaster. Fear mongering strikes again. On another note, I’m having trouble getting on with L-ascorbic acid and the data on THD Ascorbate and derivatives is less convincing. I’d be curious as to what you think about ellagic acid. Seems to have some good antioxidant and skin brightening data behind it (more so than the derivatives). Thanks!

    Circling back after watching your Vitamin C video. I own the Allies of Skin 35% and struggle to get on with that one as well. If you think the Allie’s ethylated ascorbic + THD far outweigh ellagic acid benefits, I’ll keep on with the Allies but would sincerely appreciate any tips on how to possibly get on with it. I currently use an Aestura Attobarrier Hydrating Essence as a light moisturizer after Tretinoin…wondering if there would be benefit to use it in the morning followed by the Allies. 🤔

    You've hit the nail on the head with your comments. Hopefully if my channel becomes more popular, the nonsense companies spread will be restricted. I'd stick with the allies product for now. There may be benefit in ellagic acid, but, long term I doubt there will be a difference in that both will give you the best skin in combo with something like tret/trifarotene. I'd say try both and use whichever you personally prefer. I'm very glad my vid helped and that there are people like you who aren't dumb enough for companies to fool into buying crap after crap ❤️

Trying to figure out if I’d be better off ordering adapalene (here in the US) or ordering the .005 tret subscription prescription I currently have on hold.

    Sunekos is better. Polynucleotides generally make collagen 1 3 4 7. 1 and 3 aren't difficult to make. 4 and 7 are crucial in antiageing etc but are very difficult to make. Sunekos makes them (+ elastin + fibronectin) in the maximal amount hence it's granted a patent for it. The fact no PN company markets by saying it makes the most says it all. Often, it's what the company doesn't say that's most important. Check out my antiageing lecture for a full and complete understanding of this.

    Hmm I use adapalene, however to give merit to the content creators your mentioned they have elaborated (the information is there, not in the compact format you do , but it's there) about the prescription retinoids , (well adapalene being ex-prescription) . Speaking of two questions: 1. It was from Dr Dray mentioning how adapalne is quite a selective molecule and doesn' t bound to all the receptors.I presume it binds on the alpha? given they are the most abundant ones? I will google afterwards. She was also very reluctant to talk about it's antiaging capacity, since the medical study didn't know show collagen boost. As far as I understand they used echography and it was not an ideal measurement from that start Althoust an elastin index term it was found improved, so i am not sure how one reads that is correlated to a single "yes it does antiaging". Does this index by default means collagen production ?. What is your take? 2. How will you evaluate Korean products? I recently learned about Enprani Retinyl retinoate and my brows raised and got firmed even without using it. Apparently Medik8 is reselling under their brand-name for only 5 times the original product price. You are also gorgeous looking.

  • @Dr_Abs

    @Dr_Abs

    3 ай бұрын

    To answer each point in turn… 1. Yeah selectivity is crucial. The more modern retinoids are designed like that. With regards to collagen increase - the problem is that you have to define the type of collagen you're creating and then use different methods for that. Morten Karsdal is one of the experts on this topic. For elastin, I don't think it will improve to the extent that something like Sunekos will provide but I'm sure there will be some sort of positive effect. I think as long as we are targetting the RAR-gamma then we are still going after the same HoxB1 gene family. 2. Retinyl-retinoate seems to be a great product and looks like it's far more powerfl than retinol. I agree that Medik8 are selling it at quite high a price but that's the industry for you! I haven't seen a study that converts it into tret or adapalene or trifarotene etc in terms of equivalence. Because of that, it's extremely difficult to compare one to the other, you can only really talk about the selective receptor targetting I guess. 3. Thank you :)

    @@Dr_Abs Thank you very much!!! About Enprani I was impressed, if it works as it's claimed it's a very soft side effect retinoic acid product the way i understand it?. IF hmm maybe i will try my luck for one more! Really fast my eye for bryan johnson taking only oral retinoic acid, accutan is called here. Then a parallel video from a dermatologist comparing oral vitamin A to accutan. That Vit A supplement was rather weaker but still similar. I noticed also how often vitmain A is added in food supplements, small amounts but the ones i happen to take. it's a lot to disentagle here. My question is that oral prescription seems to be more efficient, (I take minoxidil as an example too) , so it could be another direction instead of topical application of retinoids? However is it something a liver would appreciate? and should be such supplements a bit more restricted for pregnancy cases as retinols are? I mean i can feed my friends any vitamin supplement i can reach but when it comes to retinoids are like cats in the water because it can cause teratogenesis. And for oral consumption is vitamin A beta karotin substance in most cases? Could natural sources of this supplement act as good and without worrying for your liver?

    Pretty sure I read collagen production takes a nosedive and you start ageing much faster once you hit 25, so 28 is absolutely not too soon to start with the anti-ageing products.

    Is there a % on the Tretinoin you would recommend? I have been using for years, using the 0.1% now, but still get the flaky skin after a few days? Would you recommend using daily since I’ve used for some time? And would you recommend a moisturizer to diminish the flakiness ? If so any suggestions as I saw your video on moisturizers.

    If you don't push through the flaky stage it'll be life long. Go daily and then push through - you'll never need to do it again after that. I'd recommend squalane oil instead of a moisturiser.

    I feel like this is what most retinol KZread dermatologists have been saying though, that a prescription retinoid show results faster but haven’t studies shown that OTC retinols also will work well in the long long term? So in a nutshell are you saying any OTC retinol is bullsh*t like retinyl palmitate, etc? What about Altreno? I have been looking to get a retinol prescription so I might check out your link. Actually it says “page cannot be found”, man you trying to give me a virus 😂 what a load of 💩

    Otherwise doctor, I recently stopped taking tretinoin (my skin tolerated it well, it's a shame) because it made me more tired and more vulnerable to certain viruses (often sick, especially after the 3 month purge phase ) it's a shame... I have a fragile body but perfect skin.... Have you ever heard of this type of side effect or problem with this medication? Sincerely Jack

    Yeah they can be antiageing too. Think about it this way if it helps... the molecular interaction is independent of why you got the product. So, whether you use it for acne or aging, the interaction will still be the same. Therefore, if it improves skin health why wouldn't it do it any time you use it? Hope that makes sense 😊

My sister sells Sisley and i had the chance to try products. I just use with comun sense , without overthinking nor listenting influencers and my skin looks great.Other crap is all the forms of vitamin C that give me pimples. The influencer live from this constant posting and advertising, putting pressure on our minds and pockets. I am tired of being dumb!
