Just want to make something clear as it seems not everyone is watching the full video or misunderstanding the point. I use tretinoin. I love it. It's a great ingredient. But is it the miracle skin smoothing, wrinkle erasing ingredient that KZread says it is? I don't think so. And I've been using it for 10 years. My point is that if you're making a video about how amazing tretinioin is and using before and after photos (showing wrinkle reduction) then one should be honest about whatever else one might have been doing or using. If you're comparing a photo from 10 years ago, or 5 or 2 (you get the drift) but in that time you've had botox, laser, peels, IPL, filler etc... then how you can say 100% that the improvement in wrinkles is from tretinoin and not the aforementioned? Thats the point I'm making. It's not that tretinoin isn't good. It is. But please let's be more honest about the other things that might have contributed to the wrinkle reduction.

I am so glad you have spoken out. It makes me so angry about these influencers who act like they only use creams when you know that they have had botox and everything else. Just be honest! I have only used tretinoin and creams. I just went to a dermatologist for the first time 6 months ago for a basal carcinoma on my shoulder. I am 67 years old. She asked me what I use on my face and I told her Tretinoin. She said, you have great skin. I have wrinkles, dark circles, redness around nose. Tretinoin is not the cure all but it definitely helps.

​​@@cultmamacultmama3571that's not a written in stone "no brainer" truth at all. Particularly if you have a skin condition like acne, rosacea, etc. Products that work for your skin will prevent scarring, discoloration, etc and improve the look and feel of your skin, which absolutely does prevent and minimize damage that contributes to how old you look. Acid peels can have incredible results (though much more so if you can get clinical treatments.) Simply wearing sunscreen alone reduces the most obvious avoidable cause of visible aging, THAT seems like a "no-brainer" to me. The important takeaway is simple: "manage your expectations." Looking mid-thirties when you are early forties is great. Who are you to say that's not enough? What matters is how a person feels about themselves. If they look and feel 5 years younger and that makes them happy, I don't see a need to cut people down because it's not dramatic enough to impress YOU.

When there are no gatekeepers with even minimal input, EVERYONE gets through, especially the opportunistic phonies.

So please understand it is not for everyone. I started using weak retinol, then progressed to adaplene 2 daily ,then after 3 weeks 3 times daily for 4 months then tretnoin 0.025 1 daily for 1 month then slowly increasing usage and have been consistently using 0.05 for 5 times a week for 2 years waiting for it to work but yeah .I regret ever trying it. Increased hyperpigmentation on my face due to continous irritation. Plz plz plz it is not for even

Well said. I have been using Retin A since the 1980's and my skin is in excellent shape. Aside from Vitamin C, I have used nothing else on my skin; no lasers, fillers or botox. Women I do not know will endlessly say I must have had botox and fillers. It's damned if you do; damned if you don't

I love your honesty. If only more people in the makeup/beauty industry were as transparent as you, this world would be a much better place x

I do like tretinoin and have been using it since 1986. I’ve never had Botox or fillers or surgery and my skin doesn’t look flawless but it doesn’t look too terribly bad. But I’m 69 years old. Of course I’m going to have wrinkles. I just think over the years it’s helped the wrinkles not be so bad. And I’m ok with that. I have nothing against people getting Botox or surgery or fillers. It’s just something I knew I was never going to do so I looked to things like tretinoin to help me. I also felt like not using moisturizers helped too. And using some vitamin c serum and a mild acid in the morning. I do think I would have had more wrinkles if I hadn’t used it. But this was so interesting and I really enjoyed it. I hope you have a terrific weekend! ❤❤❤

Exactly. For people with real skin issues, like bad melasma/pigmentation, sun damage or acne/acne scars, once they sort them out it's a huge difference. However, if skin doesn't have any prominent issues, it's hardly any difference. I agree that people have self induced placebo in majority of cases - they talk themselves into believing that they have great results. I've been watching people with equally large pores and not so great texture after decades of using retinoids. They feel those are great results, because one scar is less prominent or few discolorations are gone. And those results suppose to be worth decades of skin barrier challenging, damages, inflammation, sensitivities, irritations, tons of money for 'good' product and equally good SPF since you can't enjoy life without bathing ten times a day in sunscreen, once you are on retinoids. Is it really worth it? I'd say - if your skin is not reactive, if using retinoid is not a torture for you and you truly see results and feel better about yourself - by all means. However, please consider visiting a professional and trying out in-office treatment, before you embark on tretinoin journey. One chemical peel, as horrendous as down time may be in a sense of peeling, can save you ton of money and patience for tretinoin to give you results. Especially if you have scarring, deep wrinkles, or prominent discolorations.

It is refreshing to just embrace your looks and not run from time passing, I do some skin care but I am 63 let’s be real. Older women can still embrace their beauty. I cannot use retinal not once a week or even just twice my skin becomes bright red and irritates my eyes. It is ok to be old and look that way. Have an awesome day and weekend. Live in the moment just breathe maybe a picnic? Take care and stay safe. Don’t forget to take care of you.❤❤❤❤

This. People think they're going to beat the grim reaper, and no one ever has. Looking older is normal, and I'm grateful that I can walk and and care for myself....many people can't.

@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112taking care of your skin is important to your health. It's the largest organ on your body. Young skin cells turn over faster. Tretinoin keeps your skin turning it over at a faster rate. There is no argument that it's important to the health of your skin

@@marielfalk4537 I didn't say don't take care of your skin. My point (and the other poster's) is that NO ONE who is 60 can look 30. Women are propagandized to fear natural aging. Not everyone can use Tretinoin, nor can they afford it ( some prefer to spend their money on something else). The idea that society has normalized the idea of injecting botulism into your face or other unnatural stuff in there is sad. The best way to take care of your skin is to eat a healthy diet, exercise, don't smoke and wear sunscreen. Not only will your skin be healthy, the inside of you will be too.

​@@marielfalk4537actually, for most people, their skin turns over just fine for proper function. I think you are confusing aesthetics and true health. My mom is very old and wrinkly but her skin barrier is shockingly strong, and she only applies face moisturizer when she has peeling skin. She has had zero facial skincare her entire life, she has had three skin cancer spots removed, and rarely used SPF on pale skin, and her skin barrier is healthy. Our skin really doesn't need much. When people died of skin injuries and problems, it was because of infection. Usually people with painful or life threatening skin issues have complex illnesses like AIDS. No one otherwise healthy is suffering physically because they didn't use tretinoin 😂 I fear for a generation who thinks that not being hot is an illness 😂

@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 Oh yes. People can be looking 30 when they are 60. Especially men. So stop lying.

Thank you for your honesty 🌸🌸🌸

Thank you so much for this informative video ❤

I’m so happy to see this. Thank you. Wondering why I have seen zero difference after a few months.

Thank you for talking about this

Thank you! I appreciate credible influencers giving us the entire story in order to allow us to make a more informed decision

Thank you for this perspective, it is very important to hear these things out fron someone who has done these treatments 🙏

Thank you for mentioning how botox effects don't necessarily wear off as fast-I see influencers my age (40s) that will constantly be like 'I haven't had botox in 6 months so that's all worn off' & from my personal experience, while yes, it does start losing effect after a few months, it's still not back to baseline. Even 6 or more months later. And that was after 1 time, & you figure these people have been getting it for years. Ofc everyone is different, but I'm sure if we've had that experience, others have as well.

I get your point, and it makes sense.

These types of videos need to be shown to the youth. Thank you for sharing. There is so much "marketing" and "false claims" on the internet to make sales instead of truth.

I loved it! These are great points and ones for others to look closely at.

I always learn so much!!! Dot

I so agree with you. One influencer raves about how she does not have wrinkles around her eyes anymore, but she has had peels, a laser treatment AND Botox!

Thank you. It is a relief that there are still some professionals out there who talk about the truth behind the scenes. Thank you.

So refreshing, you are a breath of fresh air on the internet love you Wayne ❤

great point, and it goes for all procedures - it's always a combo, if the result is really that striking, and they've probably been consistent and started early. It also pays to understand your own face, and to have a very good doctor with access to the right tools for your own concerns. Skin is not the only thing people target when they go for professional anti-aging, but they can target veins, fat, muscles, bone etc

Everything you said is logical and makes sense ✨💖✨

Hi Wayne, I enjoyed watching this video, you made some very interesting points regarding this subject . Love Katherine xoxo love

I love this man so much, you help a lot people, thanks a lot.

People need to watch the video first before commenting! And Wayne, I agree with you! People need to have realistic expectations with Tretinoin. And, influencers are more than likely to have access to heavy duty treatments that cost a lot!

Thank you for this.

Thank you for being honest! And you’re absolutely correct ✅

I'm 69 and have wrinkles and use Tretinoin and have for 4 years, it helps a little but not a lot. I watched a lot of vloggers who talked about Tretinoin and how much younger they look and I thought gosh what am I doing wrong? I don't smoke, rarely have a glass of wine, take vitamins, exercise and still have wrinkles. I got to a point where I felt so bad that I didn't want to go out in public because I was embarrassed that when I smile I have wrinkles. We are programed that you have to look younger than you are and that beauty is all that's important. I stopped watching beauty type videos and started watching current court videos and decorating videos because they don't make me feel bad about myself. I am sad to say that I should of known better and just have been happy to be alive. Thank you for this video it's something we all need to hear.
