SnakeKillsDumbledorf - For several years I’ve used a broad spectrum sunscreen from CVS, it’s their brand, called “clear zinc lotion” SPF 50, UVA/UVB protection and goes on clear. It’s inexpensive, non greasy formula.

To anyone who recently starting using Tretinoin and is frustrated with irritation, redness, etc; honestly just have patience even as hard as it may be. It's taken me about 5 months to get to the point where my skin can handle it well with minimal irritation whatsoever. I started off with the 0.1% mind you right from the get go. Just persevere. It's worth it.

@@melissalauro4369 You might be able to use all of that the same day as Tretinoin, but in the morning instead of night, then just Tretinoin and no other actives at night. It also depends on how sensitive the Tretinoin makes you and how long you've been on it. Trial and error.

Dr. Dray, thank you so much for you work! I love being able to watch your videos for helpful tips. I feel like I can trust you for legitimate advice, as opposed to being just sold something. My derm retired, but he was very old school and required me to come in monthly for him to just prescribe the same steroid cream. Where I live it can take months to get into seeing a derm (many practices retiring, moving, etc - my last appointment ended up getting canceled twice before I gave up). I have had severe eczema my entire life. After complaining of poor concentration, sleep, fatigue, anxiety, depression to a former PCP and she was only concerned with me needing to lose weight, and only cared about my lipids/a1c. I found out that I was severely vitamin D deficient, low thyroid, & anemic - from a psych nurse med management who listened to me. After supplementation (and therapy, and SSRIs) I am feeling SO much better. My eczema has been mostly controlled since getting this under control. After watching all of your videos about vitamin deficiencies and how they appear in the skin, it all made sense. I wish I had seen that video sooner! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the internet!

I’ve been wanting this video for a while. I discovered your channel after I started accutane and you grounded me and put me on the right path after a lot of misinformation! It’s been over 2 years now and I love you!

I’m starting it today! I just started following you over the weekend and I already trust you so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

For anyone who sees this comment, take her first bit of advice very seriously! She is so very correct. The "crow's feet" area, the skin around my nose, and the corners of my mouth CRACKED AND BLED. I wasn't applying the tretinoin there, but it apparently spreads out after it soaks in. My doc recommended Desiten (yes, the butt rash cream) to heal it. I had reservations about putting it on my face, but I applied it at night in TINY amounts to those areas and it healed it right up. (I have no idea if this is actually good advice so ask your doc before you put butt cream on your face. XD)

You’re literally a life saver when it comes to skincare. Thank you for sharing your wisdom to everyone you are a savior and I appreciate all of your content.

Agreed!! I have been going to the dermatologist for over a year and she never explained how to use the Tretinoin as you have, if she would’ve done it, I could’ve avoid so much irritation and stinging on my face and had a better idea of what products were better to use among the ointment, so THANK YOU!!!

I’ve been using Neutrogena light sesame oil for 20+ years after my shower for my body. Happy to know I can also apply to my face to combat dryness due to my tretinoin usage! Thanks Dr Dray!

Fantastic information here, Thank You! I was afraid of retinoids. At the too late age of 59 I started with The Ordinary Retinol with Squalene, love that stuff, and then ventured to a .05 Tretinoin. I buffer, and or, mix with Niacinamide and a neutral cream. My skin loves it! It is SO soft now. But Azelaic Acid made me sting and peel. No more. The Aveeno oat balm was my best friend. Love the cleanser too. And Cica was really helpful too. 💖

Just started tretinoin this week! This video is exactly what I needed!

Your content is so helpful and practical, thank you! Many of us are shopping at places like Walmart and Walgreens or target for our skincare products these days with the way everything is getting so expensive! Tretinoin and Adapalene do so much heavy lifting (pun intended? ;) in a skincare routine. Good skin health is truly more productive and successful when kept simple to these actives. I’ve also found that applying Adapalene gel with a dollop of moisturizer over moisturize skin buffers irritation. When I introduced it, I applied at once a week for a month, then twice a week for another month, then three times a week for another month, until I worked up to six months at six times a week. I quickly discovered that I did not need it that often! So I backed down to four or five days, spacing it out every other day. Currently, I use it every two days. Frequency is a whole other topic. Thank you for all of your efforts and educating the public about how to keep skin healthy!

This is so helpful! I've been trying to decide whether to start Differn (which I've already purchased) or make an appointment with a derm to start tretinoin. Either way, knowing how to care for the skin changes is extremely valuable. Thanks so much! Happy Monday, Dr Dray!! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 💜

I remember when you said “grease the orifices” and I recently started tretinoin and remembered to do that!! Thank you 😊

love love love the gentleness of Vanicream facial wash and daily moisturizer!

I remember your Differin video! You were a huuuuge help when I started my retinoid journey… now making the switch from Differin to retinoid. Wish me luck!

I started Accutane a few months ago and your videos have been my holy grail. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these, it’s so hard to find trusted recommendations from people who actual mean well.

I am not new to retinol, but I still was excited to watching this. I use several Cerave products, including the ointment. I also use Abolene double cleanse product, I just bought the Laroche Posey Vitamin C that I am excited to use in the morning, and I love the Eucerin moisturizer/sunscreen. I LOVE your videos! Thank you!

Dr. Dray your knowledge has helped my 52 yo skin so much! Love this

My derm created a custom compound for me that combined a low-dose of Tretinoin and pharmacy grade aloe, it’s amazing. I had been using Differin but started developing a lot of irritation after using it for more than a year. I don’t know why I suddenly stopped tolerating it but fortunately, the custom compound hasn’t irritated my skin!

Happy Monday Dr. Dray and everyone! Great advice as always. 😀

Thank you Dr. Dray. My dermatologist did not give me any instructions or advice about starting on tretinoin, including the fact that it is drying and can be irritating and I have very sensitive skin, so your videos on the subject have been so helpful to me. Thank you so much.

this video came at the perfect time, just got Tretinoin from my dermatologist 2 weeks ago. Im hoping for the best!!!

33 and have been using tret for 1.5 years. I’m finally starting to see GREAT results. I use it everywhere, including under my eyes and my eyelids, on my neck as well. I also use it every night (.5%). Only once in a while I might experience slight irritation but for the most part I have no irritation. Starting it was not super easy as I had consistent pimple breakouts a few months in but after seven months of dedicated use my skin has yet to see a pimple and it glows so nice. I have highly noticeable reduction in pores on my cheeks, fine lines around my eyes and other places! I’m so happy I learned about it two years ago from Dr. Dray! My skin continues to improve each month it seems!

Just bought the Ceravie foaming clean for dry skin. Love it

I love how Dr Dray gives us countless videos like this. Unfortunately, despite how bad I want to use Tretinoin and how careful I am, my skin just cant tolerate it. I used the lowest strength, Buffering/ on top of moisturizer, used nothing else but sunscreen, tretinoin and moisturizer, still had to quit. No matter how infrequently I used it, every other day, every third day, even once a week, my skin just got worse(redness, tingling sensations, inflamed blind whiteheads, one after another) I thought it was just temporary irritation, but after sticking with it for 1 year, I was done with tretinoin. I had to let my skin heal for 3 months using only barrier creams. I’m switching to OTC retinol now. May take however long it needs to see results, but at least my skin can handle it.
