Thank you for this testimony. I was about to give up on this tretinoin journey. It’s been about 2-3 months or so and wasn’t seeing any difference and my skin was peeling and dry. (I have combination skin) I will go slow and increase like you said and hopelessly one day have beautiful skin like you!

Thank you for an intellectually compelling and sensitively delivered recommendation/review of tretinoin/retin-a.

My insurance allows me two 45g tubes per month at 0.05%. I literally apply Tretinoin all over my body every three days followed with an ultra rich water based moisturizer and I always use SPF 30+. As a guy, I get tons of compliments on my skin especially my face, neck, chest and arms. After one year of doing this during the lockdown, my skin transformation is just something you have to see. My skin tone is one solid color all over my body, smooth, dewy, firm, no lines or wrinkles and microscopic pores. I don't waste my money on any fancy expensive creams or serums. Just Tretinoin, SPF lotion, gentle cleanser and a thick water based moisturizer. I'm hooked on this stuff because it truly does EXACTLY what it says it will do and more!...

I told my physician that I was getting flare ups again (adult acne) while talking to him over the phone, so he just called it in for me. The insurance company looked at the diagnosis code for Acne Vulgaris (L70.0) and that qualified me for insurance coverage with larger tubes, twice a month to treat the face, neck, chest, back and arms. So now I just use it every 3 days all over my body, which does prevent any breakouts but also does a whole lot more, for having great skin all over. Hope this helps!

Putting on makeup in the morning is a nightmare, it looks aweful to the point that I scrub it off use a microderm scrub hoping the flaky skin comes off. I will now back off a bit as I have been using it every night. Last night was the first time I "slugged", using Vasoline over moisterizer and my face did feel better this morning. I think maybe use 3 x a week and vasoline the other 4 until my skin really sees improvement.

I’m a 54 year old grandma and I’ve been using Tretinoin for about 25 years. I still use it about 4/5 days a week. I originally began using because of bad acne. People rarely believe I’m as old as I am! I wear a moisturizer with SPF under makeup during the day and use Tretinoin at night. I find that wearing a primer under foundation helps with any flakiness during the day. Drinking lots of water and not smoking will also definitely help keep your skin from aging.

Hi there! I don't know this youtuber well, so I wouldn't know about other things she may have had done, but I did want to say it's possible to have no forehead wrinkles without botox. From a young age didn't use my forehead muscles (wasn't intentional, I just wasn't very expressive up there) and so now in my older age it *looks* like I have gotten botox because probably atrophy over the years of non-use. if I try really hard I can get some movement but it's pretty weak. I'm sure people will assume it from time to time that I've done botox, and that's fine, just thought it was worth mentioning that this is a thing. More likely than not she has, just isn't a guaranteed thing is all. Totally agree with your point that influencers often have more done than they let on which can distort our own self image of whats possible with what products.

@abby Loe. Tretinoin prescription from doctor only. It is good. If you do not want wrinkles use that at night with moisturizer, sandwich effect of course for beginners. During the day use Argiriline and Matrixyl from the ordinary. Or Buffet with copper peptides 1% from the ordinary. Argiriline tightens skins. The buffet with copper peptides takes longer but I find it better as it has so many other good ingredients in it for the skin. But tretinoin prescription does work. Start off with 0.25mg first. After your ski can adapt to it then only switch to higher concentration. Also a time lasts long because you only use pea size amount at night. You must apply properly or you will damage your skin: use sandwich method. First moisturizer then retain A then moisturizer again for first time users at night 2 hours before bedtime. In the morning you must wear sunscreen spf 50. Regina A attracts sun which will damage your skin. The next best to retain A which is a prescription, would be retinaldehyde, it is less irritating on the skin, this is over the counter, but will take longer to see results. Hope that helps.

Great video and thank you for sharing! just wanted to point out that although using SPF is a must, always, regardless if you are using retinoids, using them, won’t make your skin more sensitive to sun damage, on the contrary, the use of retinoids strengthen the skin barrier, building collagen and making your skin thicker rather than thinner like many people believe.

Been having skin problems all my life and Tretinion was the game changer. It has drastically improved my Ichtyosis vulgaris. I do not play with my prescription strength tubes. I recently quit vit c and there is no effect. I introduce and guide all my skincare group members on tretinion and make sure it’s on the routine for those abroad. It hurts that it’s expensive and they need their doctor to give it to them before they even use it and some don’t so I make sure I ship as much as they want. No law should prevent anyone from getting tret. It’s Tret on my body + moisturizer and a broad spectrum spf 50+ for life. Your videos are so encouraging and amazing. I cannot believe I can age backwards at 30+ I wish I met Tret earlier 😅

It took me a few months afterward to get the courage to finally try it (and being completely sick and tired of trying every product in the drug store to cure my acne - none of them helped!). Your videos are immensely helpful and your skin is such a testament to a simple routine and good daily habits. Thanks so much for sharing you and your uncle’s wisdom. I like “the skin has the largest memory” - I’m going to remember that going forward.

Ur someone I m never tired of watching...So glad I found u. I have taken up practising meditation as well...all becoz of u. Lots of love ❤️

I've struggled with cystic acne for years. It seemed like it only got worse as I got older. Nothing has worked to clear my skin up like a normal person's except maybe a Doxycycline regimen, and that's not exactly a sustainable skin care routine. My dermatologist prescribed Tretinoin at the end of last year, but like you, I had to stop using it because my skin was getting so irritated. So thank you for sharing this, because it gives me some hope that maybe this can really work for me. One other thing with Tretinoin that I struggled with IMMENSELY has been irritation due to using it on broken skin, most notably due to picking. The doc DID warn me about that one, but I was already fairly obsessive and compulsive about skin picking by then. So that, combined with using too much, or too frequently, just made an even worse mess out of my skin, and I had to stop for a few months. You have my gratitude! I really appreciate you sharing this video. Gives me hope that--with a little more discipline and mindfulness around how I use it--hopefully I can achieve real results one day, too.

Yah right my feeling now like that because the 1st time use tretinoin

I believe and trust everything your saying, you can tell you're just being transparent. And the delivery is so casual and like factual. But when you said you were 39 I almost dropped my computer because I had been watching this video under the impression you were no older than 30

Thank you so much for the tips. I just started my regimen and really needed this because I’m one of those people that more is better.

Your experience with tretinoin is exactly mine. 2 years ago I damaged my skin barrier by applying too much every night because I thought I needed a lot to get rid of my acne faster. After a while my skin felt and looked terrible so I stopped but I just recently started incorporating it into my skincare again. I’ve been using once a week for a month now and so far so good I’m happy with the results. I’m excited for my skin’s future even more now after watching this thank you

okay everyone on the internet seems to be able to somehow purchase tretinoin even though it is sold only with prescription. Apparently people mostly buy it for wrinkles so not even for acne or anything. So I would appreciate it if someone can share how they purchase it

U can use tret but remember to always moisturize after

I wish I would have started using tretinoin 18 years ago! I’m 34 and just now learning about skincare. I hope I can manage to reverse the damage and have beautiful skin like yours!

Preach 🙌 Your skin looks freaking amazing! One year down with Tretinoin, here to the end!

Bravo young lady!!!! I appreciate your information ❤❤❤Thumbs up!!!

Reading the comments fills me with so much hope and positive energy. I have been struggling with acne since as long as i can remember. I have hardly known what clear glowy skin feels like. I have been put under tretinoin by my dermat 1 month ago. While there is no reduction in acne whatsoever but my skin feels quite dry. I am being very patient about the results specially after hearing you say that you have been using it for 18+ years gives me much more hope. Thanking you for sharing your journey. Also i just love this community of tretinoin journey. We are in this together.❤️

@anjalichauhan4056 Its good, but dutasteride had the same effect for me. It slashes Sebum Production at the root, snd makes your pores and sebaceous glands smaller You may not find much info on this online, very few understand how this works. But it certainly works.

Thank you for sharing your story. How is are you results now that you’ve been treating it with Tret for this long? I am coming up on the 60 day mark!

You look way more comfortable infront of the camera now! 😊

This video popped up in my recommendations, and I am so glad it did! I loved your energy so I began looking through your other videos and subscribed immediately. You discuss many topics that I am interested in and I relate to you a lot in your quiet nature. It’s refreshing to see a fellow introvert on here, which makes me feel less alone in a sense. So thank you for being you ☺️😂

I started using Tretinoin in 2007, but for whatever reason, I gave up after only using half the tube. I wish KZread and Tik Tok were around then, I would have your skin by now :) I discovered your videos about a month ago when I started using Tretinoin again. Please don't change. No long intros, no music, no weird beeping noises, no screaming at me with vocal fry voices :) You are so peaceful to listen to that I've fallen asleep to your videos hahaa. Thank you for all the content. I've even started using castor oil on my lashes and already see a difference after 3 weeks :) Thank you xx

Oh my gosh. I am now watching this but this is exactly what I do. I started my journey 1 month ago. I started of at 1 time got the week, I just recently graduated to 2x a week. I use cerave am and pm moisturizer. So far my irritation has not been bad slight peeling on my chin and corner of the lips. I’ll get the healing ointment. But I’ll try to moisturize more at night time. I live in Trinidad 🇹🇹. So sun is definitely an issue but spf has always been part of my skin care routine. But I’m so happy for this review I know now I’m on the right track. Just have a few things to tweak. But I’ll get there. I would stick with it.

Jennifer thank you so much for your informative video and your encouraging words I’m about to begin a journey myself it’s time to really get back to a decent skin care routine and I’m so glad I found your channel and on once I get going I will definitely get back with you to give you an update because I just found your videos so encouraging I love listening to you you have such a great tone in your voice as well thanks again have a good evening

Thank you so much for this video! It has changed my life! And I’m not exaggerating here! I’ve been struggling with acne since the age of 3. I’ve known my face with acne only for pretty much my whole life. I’m now in my mid-30s. I came across this video a year ago and started using tretinoin in September 2021 following your recommendations to a T. About a month ago I’ve started using 0.1 - and let me tell you: I’ve never had skin this beautiful in my life! I unfortunately developed crow’s feet around my right eye because my moisturizer wasn’t right for me. I still get a pimple here and there but it’s nothing compared to my skin before. So again, thank you!!!

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for ur video! I had severe acne in my teens and treated it taking oral isotretinoin for 9 months at the time. I got rid of acne but my skin remained oily, with blackheads, many marks, enlarged pores and blemishes. Just now at 36 I started a topical tretinoin treatment and I'm loving the results. I've become addicted to SPF and hats of all styles but my skin is getting better every day 💕

Thank you for your video. I almost wanted to quit after having so much side effects, like flaky skin, especially around my mouth. I decided to keep going after watching your video.

I am in my 60s and started getting Cyctic Acne during the past 1 year for some reason. So.. I started using Retin-A again after months of stopping it. I have Retin-A .05 strength now and will use it every other night for few weeks and then increase to nightly use after a few weeks. I am using .01 on my knees for hardened skin from falling. I love this stuff... Have daily SPF during the day.

Your skin looks absolutely fabulous. I'm going to put some on right now, I don't do much for my skin, I just kinda forget ♥

I started using Retin-A when I was 22. I’m now 49. I look 35. My skin flaked horribly in the beginning. Now I apply at water-based lotion first & then the Retin-A. I have NO crows feet, & 1 slight line across my forehead. The alcohol-based Retin-A was too harsh, so I switched to the cream-based. It’s a miracle product.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen it’s so important especially using tretinoin. Unfortunately some people don’t hear me out complaining the texture of the sunscreen. I tell them, luckily there’s so many out there nowadays to choose from but hey, it’s their skin.

Your skin is so beautiful!!! This makes me so excited for my journey!

Your skin is amazing! I used to use Retin A as a teenager, but couldn't get hold of it from my doctor. Now at 43 I've been prescribed the retinol: Differin (Adapalene) 0.1% and is easier to tolerate and have improved skin.

I've been using tretinoin for eight months now and honestly, my skin looks and feels better than ever before. I've tried every method but it just doesn't work but now, I'm so thankful that I started this journey on tretinoin. I'm twenty years old and I just wish I started this earlier.

Thanks for this video, I used tretinion during acne treatment and stopped, I will go back to it, it was really nice on me.

Wow, what an amazing woman! She speaks so eloquently, and so well, and is so personable!

I've used some type of retinoid since I was 20, finally made it to tretinoin at 25. I've never ever had irritation or peeling or purging with any product apart from making the move from retinol to adapalene (Differin). My skin peeled like crazy! But even going from Differin to Retin-A, I had no issue. It really is a wonder product!

Whoo another early tret user! I started when I was 19ish but I wasn't super consistent until I was 21. I get some gnarly cystic acne if I stop for more than 60 days. Tretinoin and SPf will be the core of my skincare for the rest of my life. Edit to add i used differin on and off from 14-19 i didn't just go straight to tret

This video just came in the perfect timing. I started my journey like 3 weeks ago, I went way too hard, now looking for any way to calm my skin. I have been using that CeraVe ointment, plus some other hydrating in order to recover my skin. I'd say that I made few newbie mistakes, as example, I did not notice any sort of irritation or nothing during my second nor my third day, so I applied again on the third day after 1st application, but on my fourth and fifth day my skin started flaking and few days after it was just red and so much pain, even lukewarm water burns. Thanks so much for sharing your experience 😀

When you said you are 39, I was SHOOK. You look so goood!

Your skin looks flawless omg

Thank you for sharing Jennifer- I agree totally- I use Retin-A religiously for the past 10+years and I am 46...I mixed it in Vaseline/Paw Paw's Vaseline and it will stop all peeling/dryness. My skin looks like I'm in my 20's and in my background my grandmother and older African Americans use Vaseline nightly. Staying the course is key and you will find after many years you can take breaks/holidays and use it less frequently.....You are absolutely beautiful btw!

@@chasebarber10 Vaseline is an occlusive. The molecules are too large to penetrate the skin and instead seals in any product under it. It is definitely oily but that isn’t a bad thing, just use it at night. It’s a great product to help your skin barrier heal because it is protecting and sealing in moisture so it actually assists healing and should not cause break outs unless there is an allergy or a bad product underneath it.
