    The tips about retinols are nice, thank you!. However, it is NOT true that "all the aging is just photo aging" that is simply wrong. There is also intrinsic aging like lost of bone density, fat lost and also muscle atrophy. So an affirmation like "all aging is just photoaging" can generate false expectations in people, be careful with that. Greetings from Spain! 😉

    There is some misleading/inaccurate information in this video. 1. 1:08 Tretinoin is not the "generic name" for prescription strength "retinol" (more accurate to say RETINOID). It is a TYPE of prescription Retinoid. Strictly speaking it is a retinoic acid. Others types of prescription topical Retinoids include Adapalene, Tazarotene, Trifarotene. 2. 1:20 "just going to call" Tretinoin "retinol" because of difficulty with pronunciation is not appropriate. You can refer to it as "retinoic acid" or "prescription Retinoid". But it is misleading and potentially confusing to viewers and patients if you choose to simplify or dumb it down because it's "easier". 3. 4:48 Retin A is tretinoin. It is strictly topical. You do not take systemic Retin A to treat acne. The acne medication you are referring to is Isotretinoin, commonly known as Accutane. Although the names are similar they are in fact different medications. I appreciate you are an eye surgeon and dermatology is not your field of specialisation but you are making these videos to educate viewers and with that comes a responsibility to provide accurate information. Speaking as a fellow medical professional, I hope you too can appreciate that correct terminology and information is important.

    Your skin is beautiful!! You don't look your age at all. I thought you were around 30 years old!! Wow!! Thank you for your advice!! I appreciate it!! I wear sunscreen all year round with an SPF of 30. I also wear a big floppy hat. It helps to keep the sun off my face. The sun can cause wrinkles around the eyes. I have crow's feet at my age. I'm 67 years old. I've have had crow's feet my entire life. I didn't wear sunglasses or sunscreen when I was a child growing up in New York. I lived on Long Island for most of my life. I was born and raised there. So, I was in the sun all summer long. Now, we live in Houston, Texas. I'm in the sun all year round down here. That's why I wear sunscreen everyday, even on cloudy days.

    Trentinoin (prescription) is not just "higher concentration" then retinol. Prescription trentinoin is retinoic acid. Retinol has to be converted by your skin to retinaldehyde, then to retinoic acid. So it's a multi step process where trentinoin is already retinoic acid so it doesn't have to go through all those steps. It's not just the strength that's different.

    I started getting painful dry eyes and blurry eyes after 3 weeks of using accutane and went to my dermatologist where she told me its impossible that accutane is the cause of those problems. I have never had issues with my eyes in my whole life until i used accutane. I then stopped using accutane where the dryness and blurry vision improved a bit but it hasn't resolved and 4 years has passed already. I guess accutane caused permanent damage to my eyes somehow.

    I've been using retinol at lower levels for about one year but then I figured I should boost the concentration. I have festoons and the festoon under my left eye just ballooned out! I kept adding more retinol hoping that it would fix the problem... and then, it hit me! It's my retinol. I stopped using it a couple of days ago and the inflammation seems to be coming down... but very slowly. And my lower eyelid twitching has stopped. THANK GOD! Thanks for this video... I am hopeful my skin will eventually repair itself.

Kind of scared me Hydration and essential fatty acids / omega 3s help dry eye.... alcohol can cause dry eye.

    Don't, just in case. I use 0.025%, I used it on my eyes, my eyes got dry, blurry vision (worst in the morning), and I'm suspecting it increased the amount of eye floaters I have. I stopped using it around my eyes for like a month and its getting better, mark out the areas you dont want the tret to get to with vaselin. The only thing I use around the eyes right now is sunscreen/moisturiser. You only got 1 pair of eyes, its best to be safe
