This is why I watch Brock, unlike any other men's health/ men's style KZreadrs he doesn't shamelessly advertise a product like the others, you see it in his content he actually cares and gives advice that most of us can attempt to try immediately, he gives information base on his experience that's why his content is still great.

A video with useful, objective information that is not a commercial, a painful, cringeworthy paid sponsorship shill. With retinol be patient. Stick with it. Active ingredients.

Needed this a lot, thanks for pointing out the active ingredients

Happy to help!

I’ve been on adapalene for a while and like you said it’s a game changer. I’ve tried other retinoids and anything more then 1% breaks me out immediately. Seeing what your skin can take is a big part of it

Excellent video, thank you!

This was incredibly useful Brock. Thanks! ❤

Oh Wow... I used Differin Gel when I was a teenager to clear up my acne and that changed my life. I never considered it as a retinol treatment. Up to this day I still use it if I have an occasional blemish... but what really makes my skin look good (and I turned 40 now) is a clean-smooth face. I got a laser treatment on my face years ago and now I don´t have to shave at all.

Thank you Dr. McGoff

Thank you so much Brock. More of this type of content please

Hi Brock, great video! Just wanted to offer one piece of info as a Doc, retinoids as a whole are considered to be 'teratogenic', that is, dangerous for a developing baby - even when applied topically (i.e as a cream). As such, all pregnant women (and women of a child-bearing age) must avoid using these products. I know that most of your audience is men, but I thought mentioning it prudent. Otherwise, awesome stuff as usual!

Thanks for the insights! Great point, and something I overlooked (as a guy). Now that you mention it, I was pretty surprised at how many things my wife couldn’t eat/use while pregnant. As if pregnancy wasn’t hard enough!

Great video Brock. Do you use a serum? I like the Jack Black protein booster skin serum or is the retinol cream used instead or in addition?

You never fail to deliver brock!

Thank you, Brock, for cutting through all the baloney. I’m an older (68) short (5’ 5”) guy who started watching your channel several years ago for style advice. You’re right about all the “natural” ingredients. There is certainly nothing wrong with them, but are they effective? So I did some research and learned what actually works. I follow a skin care regimen utilizing salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and retinol containing products. People tell me I look younger than my actual age. I like that.

Very welcome!

Great information, thanks for posting. Another analogy would be name brand versus generic medicine.

Thank you for the advice. After watching your video, I switched to using 0.1% Adapalene twice a week. Also, like you suggested, I focused more on the active ingredients rather than the brand names. I added 10% niacinamide serum and 20% azelaic acid from more affordable brands. In the morning I use Vitamin C. Surprisingly, my total cost is only around $10-15 per month but my skin is smoother and acne-free - so much cheaper than before when I just listened to the marketing about product benefits without understanding the key active ingredients. Thank you so much for all the great tips 🥰

Great to hear!

Is retinol the same as Retin-A? Is Retin-A a type of retinol and if so is it better or worse than other retinols for anti ageing?

For UK viewers, it is hard to source the products which Brock uses. I use the combo which youtuber Ali Abdaal uses: - CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser - CeraVe PM Daily Facial Moisturiser Lotion - Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 - Tretinoin from Dermatica Routine ------------- Apply the hydrating cleanser while in shower After drying, apply your sunscreen/mousturiser combo After brushing teeth in evening, wash face and apply the hydrating cleanser again, then dry face with towel Apply retonoid cream, give it a few minutes to settle in and then apply PM moisturiser

The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is my favorite. The first time I used it I thought I was just using lotion on my face. But it works great. Doesn’t strip the skin. Their body wash is the best. Hard to find even in the US.

I've been using retinol in my nightly routine for like 3 months now. The serum i use is at 0,5% strenght. Should i increas it or just stick to it? I've seen minor improvments in the skin but nothing radical.

"I still get the occasional blemish," he says as he points toward nothing. I've been on adapalene for the past couple months and am excited to get to the point when my skin is clear enough to notice such tiny imperfections. Great video.

What about creams for your hands? Luckily I have never struggled with Acne, but I have pretty dry hands. What are the ingredients to look out for here?

Thanks for a tip. Ordered myself Differin, will give it a try. Seems that other products don’t give any effect.

Which sunscreen do you use? Edit: not sunscreen, he is using Stryx Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30

I think your blessed with great skin genetics. would be interesting to see a detailed self study of one month no products just basic face wash and moisturisers products to see a real life comparison.

Hey Brock, do you use any kind of face brush/applicator (e.g. Clarisonic) when washing your face?

Hey man, when you say to use these products after washing your face, what do you use to wash your face? My skin is very sensitive and anything I use dries me out.

@BrockMcGoff

You really only need water tbh. A gentle cleanser would be fine but isn’t necessary if you’re using retinoids.

Also retinol is a good ingredient to get back collagen lost as we get older. Talk to your dermatologist first though as the ingredient is irritating. Always sunscreen is the number one products for skin aging. Spf 30 or higher

Good points! And yeah, sunscreen is so important. I try to use it everyday, especially living in Arizona.

Used acne meds for years until I found a dermatologist who simply tol d me to simmer down. To wash my face once per face only, with hot water, but no soap and then moisturiize with Oil of Olay. month laster --pimples gone.

Any recommendations for products specific to under eye area?

@BrockMcGoff

5 ай бұрын

I’ve tried a few higher end options and honestly, didn’t notice anything. I think it mostly comes down to genetics (e.g., if you have deep set eyes), body fat percentage and how rested you are. For example, I have deep eyes, low fat and two young kids, so my under eye area is hopeless (for now) 😵‍💫

if i don't have acne should I use adap or just go for a ret treatment? thanks
