I'm turning 42 this year and I'm just doing whatever Angie tells me to do. Her skin speaks for herself. I hope I'll age as well as her
I can't thank you enough for all of the skincare advice that you've provided. I've spent parts of the past few days watching so many of your skincare videos dating back a year or more, and I've learned SO much. Just finding out about mineral sunscreen has been a huge change for me since I'd given up the chemical sunscreens when they made me break out horribly. I'm now looking a purchasing a Nira Laser and an Omnilux mask in the hopes of reversing at least some of the damage I've done in the past. You a truly beautiful person in every way. Thanks again!
I just placed my first order with Agency after the trial product. I’m grateful for your willingness to share your everything!! 🙌🏼
I started Agency in June, and I love it. It takes the guess work out and helps for a slow build in formulation. I've been solely using Agency since starting, so I'm ready to add something new. I received my first Timeless Vitamin C order yesterday. I can't wait to see the results!
I came to this video because I got my first Agency delivery today and wanted to learn how to use it. I really do want to say though that I was expecting a lot more "consulting" like at a dermatologist from Agency, which I definitely did not get. When I went on to ask a question about the treatment, I learned you get 1 credit per shipment to send a message to your provider and then after that it's $10 for more questions! I am already not much of a fan since I didn't get a consultation like I thought I'd have, have questions about the regimen, and will potentially have to pay to ask my provider questions.
I’m so grateful for your knowledge and recommendation to Agency, They’ve really taken the guesswork out.
Fyi, I started following your series because I turned 50 last year and noticed that makeup didn’t look good on my skin. I was planning to go to New Orleans for my 50th Bash around Halloween and wanted to dress up and needed makeup tips for my more mature skin. Thus you! Because of your videos I have adopted a skin care routine and boy, have people noticed. I wasn’t a sun worshipper but certainly was getting some signs of aging. Now I regularly hear that I do not look my age. I thank you for your honest advice and tips for looking as young as you feel. 😊
At 46 I just dived into this journey. I was so afraid for years because I already have dry flaky skin.... Perfect timing for this video!
Angie, this was such an informative, organized video! Thank you for this! ❤
Just began using Tretinoin through Agency. I’ve been following you for years. It just dawned on me to look into the cost of Agency vs what I was using. It’s relatively the same but a little less expensive. So I ordered and began using it around 3 weeks ago. I noticed the irritation and peeling because I was using it every night. Just before heading out on vacation, I stopped using it a few days ahead of time because I didn’t want my skin to be peeling. I also did a derma plane treatment. I do that at home about once every couple of weeks anyway. I had better results from my derma plane treatment with less irritation. I feel like it’s due to the Treatment that I’m receiving from Agency for my skin for moisturizing also at least. And today I’m in the middle of my vacation and I got to see this video and I’m very encouraged about getting back home and restarting with some time in between applications. So thank you again for a wonderful advice!
😊 I think I was the person telling Angie about the wash off method, I know I did explain it in a comment a month a couple of months ago. It definitely worked great for me. My skin isn’t sensitive though, I have no problems using Retin A on my neck and chest.
Love Agency. I am coming up on one year and it took me nine months to acclimate to the Tretnoin. I can see how people give up, but I was determined not to, and the providers at agency were very helpful. Thank you so much for telling us about them
Angie, have to thank you for a few things: 1) I finally put myself on a gentle mature skincare routine with your advice. This past winter, my skin became super dry, super sensitive, & developed rosacea. Turns out, using skincare from my 30’s was too much for my present 61-year old skin. 2) I started with Agency two months ago and love it. I also have been using the vitamin C & CoQ10 sparingly. 3) Lastly, for the first time ever, I’m using sunscreen on my face. Game-changer for my sensitivity & rosacea. I use the R&R or CeraVe tinted mineral depending on the day. 4) With my skin looking healthy again, this has me using makeup again, using your application tips & suggested products. Thanks for helping me feel pretty again. Also, love your vlogs, day in your life, what you eat & exercise. I’ve made my own playlists, & having you in my ear makes cleaning & working from home like being with a great friend (you). Truly love your content, your honesty, your thorough research, & your sweet personality. Sending you my very best. A million thanks.💛

I started using Agency through you about 6 months ago and I love the results I’ve gotten already. LOVE my Agency. Thanks Angie!! Wanna look like you in 10 years ❤
Angie I was so happy to find you! I wouldn't dream of buying anything you hadn't recommended so thank you for doing all the "cosmetics" leg work for us. There is nothing like the joy of sitting down with my espresso and listening to your latest cosmetic adventure. You brighten up my day, my face and my bank acct. Angie would you pls compare the foundations with serum? There are quite a few out now so it would be lovely to know which has the best ingredients. You changed my world.
The issue with these subscription models is you will end up with a load of bottles of product if you go really slow on usage, I know you can pause but I used Dermatica & ended up having to cancel & restart a couple of times as my skin reacted badly so I was only using tiny amounts and 1 bottle would last months which can then go off too 😏. So pleased for you Angie, your dedication is impressive. I switched to retinal in the end and get on very well with that & so much cheaper too x
LOVE your hair this way!! Great length, shape, & color 👌
Great video. I love your hair! It's full and at a good length!! Perfect!
Thank you. I signed up with Agency last month. So far so good.
Good morning Angie ❤️ This video is very timely for me. I see the Dermatologist today. The GBS has left me with rosacea and extreme sensitivity from the various O2 delivery treatments in certain areas on my face. Lots of great info for me to discuss with her. Thanks bunches. Have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤❤

Thanks, Angie. I started using Agency about a month ago and my skin looks much better. They prescribed me the lowest amount at .009% and I experienced some peeling for about 4 days while using it every night. My skin no longer peels and it looks so much smoother.
I'm so grateful to you for introducing me to great skincare, Angie. I can't wait for your next sunscreen review. Because of your research and videos i've learned so much about how to take care of my skin. You introduced me to tretinoin and other great skincare over the years. I hope your sunscreen review is coming soon. I running low on my current favorites. Thanks for all you do! XXOO ❤️
Thank you for posting this, starting treatment this week. Looking forward to starting it.
Wow I’m so glad I found you! Thank you!
So thankful you share your research and lessons learned! Always look forward to your videos! ❤
Thank you for your continued education on Agency. I started it a year ago, and did well adjusting to lower doses. Lately, my skin has been flaring up with redness and burning, even though I have not increased my Tret dose. I am so grateful for the info on the wash off method. 🤞🏼I am going to try it. I did find that I need to do a full wash of my face before using my Omnilux . I hope I will eventually be able to use anti aging products on my neck. This zone is super flared up 😮. Thank you to this great community.
Hi Angie! You were the catalyst to my finally using Retin A, I avoided it for years because I was afraid that my skin would be a red peeling mess all the time. You took the fear out of my taking the initial step. I started using tret three years ago and have worked my way up in strength. I just wish I had started sooner! At 63 with the help of good genes and skincare, my skin is firm and bouncy, and my lines are minimal. Thank you so much for the research you do to provide us with well informed information! 🌺

Hi Angie. How apt that you have chosen this subject. Unbeknownst to me, I was using a new night cream that had retinol in it as well as using my retin a. So for 7 weeks, my skin has become dry and crepey. I’ve had to drop the Trentoin for now and just go back to basics. That will teach me for not reading all the ingredients. ..thanks for these great tips….especially the acid tip….fantastic info as always. Sending you sunshine from Oz xxx😘💖🌏🌞⛱️
Thanks, Angie! Your skincare & makeup tips have helped me change my own skincare & makeup choices! Appreciate your experience & honesty!

Hey Angie! I swear by retinol and tretinoin. The closest thing to turning back the clock that I've seen! My skin is definitely thicker (as you mentioned). I know that salon services that used to be painful are not anymore. THANK YOU!
Your skin looks so beautiful. I had such a horrible experience with retin A. I stopped using it for 2 years and then I came across ALTRENO when someone mentioned it in their video because it was great for dry and sensitive skin. And I’ve been on it for 3 years now and it’s amazing. I think how your skin reacts to tretinoin depends a lot on the formula that you’re using.
Hi Angie. Great educational video (as always😊) you were my inspiration to restart Retin A about 5 years ago and I always get compliments on my skin -at 59 years of age. I have skin that peels easily and have found that using 0.04% during the cold dryer months and switching back to the 0.1% in the spring helps keep the peeling at bay. Keep up the great work! 🇨🇦🥰

Great tip!
I get Tretinoin from Mexico and get the rest from Agency. More than once I've had issues with my Agency formula not being mixed properly and they don't like to own up to this issue. Last time they did a good job, after I threatened having to contact the BBB. I'm satisfied now and will continue buying from Agency. Thanks for letting me share my experience.
I have used retinal & adapalene for almost 3 yrs. I just recently started tretinoin 0.025% last week 3 times a week & so far I have no purging on my second week. I use 3 hydrating toners before I apply tretinoin then moisturize at the end.. so far it’s working for me 😊
Thanks for sharing the "wash off method" 😊 I used a more cautious short contact therapy schedule successfully on my sensitive skin when I started tretinoin. Apply, wait 5-30 minutes (add time slowly depending on your skin's response), wash your face, and apply your nighttime skincare. In the clinical studies comparing short contact with traditional overnight application, results after a year were the same but irritation & side effects were significantly less. I started with 2x/week for 5 minutes & monitored the response. After 3 weeks of happy skin, I added 5 minutes each week and then added a day every 4-6 weeks. When I got to 30 minutes 5x/week, I moved to once per week overnight application OVER nighttime skincare & moisturizer. (My skin needed almost 6 months to get there.) Once my skin was happy with that one overnight application per week, I added one short contact application per week and very gradually increased time & number of days from there. It's definitely a marathon & not a sprint!

Angie, I watched your video years ago on trentinoin, I want to thank you so much for that! I started 4 yrs ago, and I went through all the peeling and landed up twice a week for over a year! I finally heard you talk about sandwiching and started that! I am now almost 70 and using it 5 nights a week. It's all good now, and working very well! Thanks, Angie!
Excellent video! I'm going to try the wash off method.

Luckily, I have had some really great dermatologists throughout the years. The last two said to mix the Tretinoin with a small amount of Vanicream. It has helped me to avoid what I call “the Retin A burn”. Love your videos Angie!

Hi Angie. Thanks for the video on this. My question is ( actually 2) when do you start putting it on your eyelids, under eye and other sensitive areas? Also, do you increase the amount as you get used to it? A pea size seems too little? Im definitely seeing tons of improvement to my skin since I found you and started with all your tips…like you I was a sun worshipper for most of my life and I’m now paying for it. Im so grateful for all I’ve learned through your videos( makeup included to which I keep getting compliments) 💕
Thanks again Aunty for all your help and knowledge in this area
Thank you for the wonderful information.
You’re exactly right-I cannot stand the time after cleansing, waiting for my face to dry. It’s the dry feeling that is so uncomfortable. Being able to use the sandwich method sounds so much better. I personally love the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing face cream. It’s light and lovely, made for dry skin!
I started using Retin-A when I was 30 and I am now 67. Boy do I wish I had all these wonderful tips all those years ago!

Great video! Thanks for that!😊
Good morning Angie! I started my tretinoin journey almost 6 years ago after trying and giving up on it decades ago because of lack of information and guidance from my derm, using it every night right off the bat and experiencing lots of irritation. This time, I started out with the lowest strength (.025%) then moved up to the .05% strength on my next visit to my derm, a year later. When she bumped me up to the 1% strength, even though I eased into it gradually, I was peeling constantly (even though I was only using it 3 times a week) and since I was still going to work every day and wearing makeup, that just didn't work for me, so I went back to the .05% strength, using it every day. Well, I guess our skin can change, and even when we're used to a product, it can suddenly become irritating. My skin got to the point where I could no longer use the .05% every night, so I backed off to 3 times a week, which is where I am now. I still get a little bit of peeling, here and again, but I figure this is a good maintenance regime for the long haul. I wish I'd known how to use it properly back in the 80's when I was first prescribed it but, better late than never! Great tips, Angie! ❤

I get my RetinA via my doctor for less than $10. It’d be great if you can include an alternative product that includes some of the ingredients. Thank you as always for keeping it honest and real.

The wash off method or Short Contact Therapy worked brilliantly for me but I put it on for a half hour twice a week for a few months, then started to use it overnight for one night a week and the other night SCT, and did that for a few months. I’m up to using it two times a week overnight. It sounds like a long drawn out process but it has worked for me and as you say, it’s a marathon not a sprint- using Tretinoin. My skin is looking better with little irritation at the start and none now. But for me, SLOW was the way to get my skin to understand what I was putting on it. Listen to your skin. Thanks Angie!
Thank you, Been struggling for two years
I've been using agency since January and have been very happy with the company. I have followed this advice to avoid irritation.

Are you still using the Agency Trentinoin? How do you feel about the company and products now?
Thank you so much for all your helpful suggestions. We can always count on you to give us the facts. I've tried Tretinoin and I've tried Curology but just gave up even when trying to use it just once a week. I could never get over the flaking stage. So my dermatologist has me using Retin-A Micro and I'm trying to be patient and use it once or twice a week.
Thank you Angie! I just moved my prescription over from curology to Agency. I can’t wait to use their formulas. Your tips are fantastic and I will take your advice since I get beat up when I use the formula nightly. I realize I need to build up to it! Question: If I use the sandwich method, can I use my other skincare effectively? I thought the moisturizer barrier would block the other skincare I use at night. Thanks!!❤
Great video - I’ve been using Tretinoin for over year and a half - and definitely learned a few tips - thanks! I have been slowly increasing the strength and always have peeling around my nose.
I just ordered brightly tret and I’m so excited!!
These are great tips! I started the sandwich method (I use Agency) and the flaking and peeling are much better.
So wish Agency would come to Canada.

Thanks for the good dose of common sense! Whatever we are using on our face needs to be started slowly and built up gradually. I was applying vitamin c with my fingers. My palms got very itchy and irritated. So stopped until I was comfortable. Now put it on with brush.

Hello Angie, Thank you for these tips. It is perfect timing since I am starting with Curology (I am 36) this week. What is your recommendation for an exfoliant during this time since so many are chemical/contain an acid? Also, at what point did you add your vitamin c and other acids back into your routine? Thanks so much!
Your consistency has definitely paid off! Whatever you did to your eyes was incredibly effective. The hooded effect is gone. I think you look far younger and healthier now. Kudos to you!
Angie thank you so much for all your wonderful advice... Do you know if I can get Agency in the UK? love your videos ❤❤
I’ve done a combination of tricks for my Tret (I had no purging, no irritation): I started with the “short contact” / “wash off method” method where you apply on dry skin, leave for a short amount of time (working from 30 to a couple hours). Once I washed it off, I went in with a super calming super moisturizing night routine. I did this for the first month and a half. Then I started leaving it on overnight once a week for a month, and worked up from there like you said. Once I was leaving it overnight, I did the “sandwich method”, where I moisturized, left it for an hour, then applied the Tret, let that dry a couple minutes then moisturized again. I never had dryness (I was using purito’s circa barrier sleeping pack as my moisturizer), which was super impressive. I also completely cut out exfoliating actives for the first 6 months, and reintroduced an exfoliating day once a week later on, and slowly. So slowly. I incorporated a lot of calming ingredients during the day (Centella, bakuchiol etc.) and ceramides and panthenol. A couple months in too I started using my red-light therapy again, so maybe this helped with the lack of redness. I did become a bit sun-sensitive when I was outside, so I got myself a sun stick and used it *diligently* where I was reapplying sunscreen every hour…. Maybe over-kill, but it helped I think. I used the Abib one. Finally, I used a service like you mention (for folks based in Europe, Dermatica is the service we have access to so you don’t have to use the formulations from the derm, which aren’t great 😅). So it was a long… long, long slog (I got up to three days a week in 7 months) but I worked my way up to every other night Tret use (within a year) and boy oh boy does my skin look goooodddddd.

Thanks Angie! I love Retin A and won't be without it. I'm 55 and have been using it around 8 years. Your videos about it years ago is what got me started on it. Thanks for everything xo

Good day ! Have you noticed the growth of fluffy facial hair after tretinoin?
