This is the best explanation of Retinoids I have ever come across. I used Paula’s Choice for years and eventually (after 10 years) decided it was not working anymore. Then a few years ago switched to Differin. Because of this talk I switched to Retinal and currently using Medik8 and Avene in two different strengths. What a difference in my 80 year old skin! It is never too late to improve. Thank you very much.

Oh!! I am so happy about this video! Just the right moment.

Happy Lunar New Year from Vietnam, Dr. Shereene Idriss ! I started my skincare routine quite late, just last Fall when the pandemic started to give me more and more "masknes". Haven't embarked on my adventure with Retinoids yet, but I've been researching. And gotta say, your video is the most educational and easy to understand one that i've watched so far. Rarely comment on youtube, but just wanna say thank you, from the other side of the globe!

Such a good video!! I love when your family pops in ♥️ I also love how informational your videos are. Thank you 🦋💕

I’m pretty new to the channel but I love your no nonsense personality!! I can tell you’re an amazing doctor

first thing this Saturday morning I'm awake and learning with Shereene! I'm a cosmetic RN and I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

Oh my god! I love this video! I am a biologist and I watch so many videos related to skincare because I really want to understand how actives or in general skincare works. This is the only video that helped me connect the dots. Now the retinoid picture is much more clear to me. Thanks a lot for this video.

I appreciate how brutally honest she is. Truly a queen

My new sunday morning routine: attending dr. Shereene’s class. And don’t forget to take notes you guys. Thank you for educating us and makes it easier to understand by using funny analogies 👏

Would love to see a video specifically on prescription retinoids especially the Altreno you’re using and how you’re liking it! Thank you for all your wisdom! ☺️

Seeing the tret glow is honestly the most satisfactory thing to ever come out of my skincare journey

I’m 36 almost 37 and I feel like I’m throwing everything but the kitchen sink at my skin to see if I can slow down the aging process. I use tret, vitamin c, glycolic acid (obviously not all together), I use microcurrent, I take collagen powder and take hyaluronic acid supplements.... and I avoid the sun like a vampire and religiously wear sunscreen.

Oh my gosh acutane is a retinoic acid. Of course it is. 16 year old didn’t think about that. But here I am 10 years later wishing I had the skin I did when I was taking it! I know not everyone has the same experience, but I glowed. It was amazing and I need to get back to that!

I just found your channel and I'm literally obsessed with you. Would trust u with my life

I really appreciate that you made seeing a dermatologist much more assessable. In the sense that you answer many of the questions that I would have had for a dermatologist. I was able to completely treat my acne from your videos!!! Education is key!

“Sorry for those of you who don’t like it when I hit the desk.” We love it when you hit the desk. I also cast my vote for seeing a video on micro needling. I got it done professionally and I’m having a weird texture reaction? I’d love to know if I’m just crazy. Thanks Shereene!

This is a legit board certified doctor and takes the time to educate us and doesn’t keep her videos super edited (love the interruptions!) so you feel you are having a conversation with a friend in their room.

The astrology reference gave me an idea... Tell me what u guys think! Aries: glycolic acid (classic, strong, great results but you need to be careful. Strong!) Taurus: retinoids (be careful, if you push too hard they WILL push back. But if you keep boundaries, they'll reliably slowly fix almost everything lol) Gemini: Azelaic (so versatile - antibacterial, comedolytic, anti-inflammatory. Only gets left out of the conversation because its impossible to work with (hard to formulate)) Cancer: Hydroquinone (controversial, some ppl call them "toxic". Feels like you're walking on eggshells, but can yield unparalleled results if you can strike the magical balance) Leo: lactic (a bit basic, but delivers a more calm punch than aries, making it more tolerable. You'll feel hydrated and glowing with lactic in your friend group - superstar even though it isn't that chemically fascinating) Virgo: glycerin (so "boring" you barely even think about it - but when you do, you realize it makes up the entire foundation of your routine and is a superstar) Libra: Hyaluronic acid (aesthetic... tolerated by everyone, ultimately a bit basic though. Immediate satisfaction if you want to feel cute!) Scorpio: Ascorbic acid (mystical, can do so many things in theory, but very fussy and hard to cooperate with. Be careful or you'll get stung) Sag: Mandelic (somehow always forgotten, but is actually so cool and versatile - brightening, antimicrobial, water AND lipo-soluble. Def underrated and a total firecracker powerhouse) Capricorn: Niacinamide (brilliant basics. Can help almost everyone with almost anything, just not the most wow-factor. But we still all respect its genius in accessibility, and hard-working nature) Aquarius: tranexamic (ahead of its time. Some ppl call BS and think they won't live up to any claims) Pisces: salicylic (honestly so therapeutic. Probably one of the best anti-acne ingredients, but gets left out because it isn't fancy. Will always be there for you though)

I didn't know how to tag two people in a comment, anyway. Sooo after the Ordinary one I got the one from The Inkey List. More powerful, but only because I didn't find the one from LÓreal she keeps mentioning. I also bought a tretinoin one, I don't know if it's region based (Europe), but it's called Mask Plus acne gel - it also has an antibiotic and glicolic acid, so it's a treatment really but you can buy it without prescription. So yeah, the last one works great, it's pretty powerful but if combined with a good moisturizer it's brilliant because the first few days my face was dryer than Sahara. I might revert back to the Inkey list one after the treatment, as it's milder and I think it would work great at maintaining the amazing results I just got from the tretinoin one. Hope this helps both of you.

@iskandra

2 жыл бұрын

Also, forgot to mention, I used the inkey list one while I was in vaycay before starting the treatment and the texture is awesome, doesn't really smell like anything (the tretinoin one smells very medical-ly probably because of the antibiotic), and the slightest amount is enough for the whole face (if any of you end up going for this one, I'd recommend applying it bit by bit to the face so you can then estimate how much you need for the whole thing, just to not waste or risk overapplication due to not estimating correctly).

Looking at the ingredient list of CeraVe, I can see that the retinol is listed ahead of the preservative. Preservatives are generally found at around 1% of a cosmetic. So while you can't be absolutely positive unless CeraVe is willing to tell someone the percentage, it's likely more than 1%.
