Anyway I asked my Dr to switch me to tretinoin but once I got it home and looked at the ingredients I realized that most brands of tretinoin are formulated with Butylated Hydroxyanisole (which the US Department of Health and Human Services has called a "reasonably anticipated human carcinogen") or BHT (which is also a suspected carcinogen). I'm just a regular old person who prefers the ingredients in my products not to be likely carcinogens so for me Differin wins. Especially because I realized they make a .3% formulation. I wish there was more discussion of this as I had no idea until I got the tretinoin prescription.

Do you trust Stylevana for Asian sunscreens Dr. Dray?

Please make a video about the new European product Tretin (topical isotretinoin 0.5) Otc tretinoin was discontinued and this is the only alternative my pharmacist offered me

Dr. Dray, I have a question I haven’t seen asked anywhere yet: Is it redundant to use a thin layer of adapalene after cleansing at night followed by retinol cream? Specifically I apply a thin layer of adapalene after I wash my face to damp skin because I want increased penetration and my skin tolerates it. I follow this with Advanced Clinicals retinolcream. If I ever feel my skin barrier is compromised or my skin is more sensitive, I will forgo one or both of these steps and just use basic Vanicream to moisturize and give my skin a break. But yeah my main question is regarding redundancy of both adapalene and retinol at night. Thank you so much!

Which one is generally deemed more effective against acne, tretinoin or adapalene?

Dr Dray, does it make sense to switch to tretinoin if adapalene can not control acne? And after how long of using adapalene and seeing inadequate results do we explore other treatment options?

Yes, I read about the occurrence of dry eyes, after usage of retinoids on reddit a few days ago. There were some people, who talked about it, even from retinol(!). Sometimes it's reversable, often it's not. And I guess, I have to try to leave out the eye area and see, if the condition of my own dry eyes improve (which I now strongly suspect to be caused by my usage of retinol, I never thought about that, before reading that thread. The dry eyes definitely occured after starting my retinol usage and I had never amy problems with dry eyes before). If that won't help, I guess I will have to think about leaving retinol out of my skincare. ☹

If I don’t have acne do you still suggest differin for anti aging?

Would love an in depth look at Micro tretinoin. I've heard that the patent is about to expire which would be wonderful! But I can't really find any details about it anywhere.

Could you do a video on tazarotene and how it differs from tretinoin? I'm on it for my acne right now and would love to know what you think!

Yes! I just started tazarotene as well.

I just love your content, personality and realness.....

Came here to learn about differin vs tret, left with a sudden desire to purchase lilysilk 😂😂😂

After years of differin, made the switch to tretenoin. I hope I start seeing positive results..I'm using it every night. Haven't experienced irritation thus far.

@@ARIO_j2 It works! It took like almost 4 weeks to see results! My acne scars are gone and I barely break out now

I was on Accutane for 6 months, 80mg a day, and felt no dryness on my face whatsoever. Just lips dried constantly. Bc I felt it worked on my face only in the 6th month, I used acids an peels throughout. Now I'm continuing with tretinoin, acids and vit C. I still wonder why my face never dried.

Hi 🤗 Could you answer this in a Q&A?: what are your thoughts on ethyl lactyl retinoate? It is said to be «the first double conjugate retinoid to deliver both AHA and RC to skin on a hydrolysis based time released mechanism thereby theoretically maximizing efficacy while simultaneously minimizing irritation.» A woman at a skin care center tried to sell me a product today that had this ingredient, and according to the sales woman it is as efficient as Tretinoin but without the irritation. When googling I find studies that conclude the same, but I’ m trying to be source critical and would love to hear your insight on the matter. Thanks a million 🤩

Been using tretinoin for years after accutane, but I have been struggling to find a balance with it, my skin was always red and peeling. I recently switched to differin and it’s too soon to tell but my skin is less irritated with it.

Hello Miss! How are you doing now?

Hi Andrea, I have a question for a further Q&A in case you find it interesting to answer: what about mixing Tretinoin & Urea? And am I destroying my skin if I use tretinoin with Urea 10% from Altruist in the retinisation phase? Should I go on less percentage or remove it completely? I use the Altruist 10% urea. Tolerating it better than other creams I tried but not sure if it’s from the lack of perfume that it makes it not sting as much as other creams I tried out. Thank you in case you choose to pick my question or parts of it🙏 🥰

Altruist have a 10% urea cream but I can’t see a 20%?? 20% would be to strong for the face but can be used on the feet elbows and knees 😊

@@spreadkindness8798no problem😊what I do is moisturiser my face first with something fragrance free wait 30 minutes put small pea size amount retinoids, wait 30 minutes then put altruist 10% urea cream to seal everything in and stop me getting dry throughout the night, hope that helps 😊however if you want to mix Tretinoin and a plain moisturiser go ahead and mix the two then wait 30 minutes and put your urea cream on separately

Just today I mixed tretinoin with aloe Vera applied to face and neck. My concern is that will the aloe assist tretinoin to deeper layers of skin, causing irritation? Also, Tretinoin does not spread well and I can never tell if I have enough coverage using the product as is. So I’ve decided to thin it with aloe. I guess the questions to ask is how much of skins surface area does tretinoin need to cover to be effective. By diluting it with aloe this should make it potentially less effective, no?

Hi, Dr. Dray! Would I apply benzoyl peroxide before or after the differin? Or does it matter? TIA!

🙋Dr Dray is purging real or its just the broken skin barrier which causes more acne while on tretinoin..???

Thank you for the straightforward answer on tretinoin vs adapalene

Thank you for all your videos! What actives should I use on the days when I’m not using tretinoin?

@John_in_Oakland

Glycolic acid.

I'm considering trying Hello Brightly which I think is hyaluronic acid based. I use Mylan 0.01% tret in alcohol denatured gel and I feel like that is a challenge to continue because I'm dry and it's just slightly slower to reach the plateau of results. Plus the vehicle evaporates fast so it's HARD to distribute evenly with a pea size. I miss spots and end up with inflamed areas after a hot shower etc. because I had to squeeze out more gel to get my whole face.

Hi, I'm in the UK. Please could you tell me which tretinoin to buy? thanks x

Does our skin purge multiple times by using actives such as if we use retinol and purge and then have clear skin but suddenly stated using salicylic acid cleanser ,will our skin purge or not??

Well we know why it’s available more and more over the counter as most role who are going to buy dapalene are them who have acne as that’s what it mainly used and works for. Tretroin on the other hand works better on wrinkles so alot more people who don’t have acne but would use it for wrinkles could use it inadequately causing problems.

Is there a difference between gel cream lotion tret, or differences in brand names. I've been on retin a micro which is a lotion and I hated it, it didn't spread nicely and burned my skin on the first use but says it's for more for sensitive skin....are there better brands for one target...wrinkles or acne or pigmentation

Which one is best for anti aging in you opinion? I realize there are less studies with adapalene, I currently use adapalene I have for about a year but I’ve noticed it’s less effective than it use to be for me wondering if a perscription tretinoin is my next step

I have used Diferin for a year and a half . It has made a difference for sure.But is see my derm in a month and I’m going to ask for Tretinoin in.

Anyone reading the comments here, if you have melasma - don't waste your time and money on adapalene (Differin gel). I don't know if it works for sunspots, it definitely does not work for melasma. I've been using Differin gel for 1.5 years now religiously every night - I have not seen a tiny difference, it's probably a bit worse. I wear sunscreen every day, top up every 2 hours even indoors (since I don't wear makeup). If I go out, I wear a big hat with a mask (to cover my face, not for covid reasons). If the sun is really strong, I use an umbrella /a sunbrella - I live in Asia, no one will give me a strange look. I cannot get RetinA where I live.

Love and adore you and you’ve got the best channel! I also love the color of your nail polish it almost looks like midnight blue.

Dr dray I recently was put on an isotretnoin gel instead of a tretnoin gel how it is different and can I continue tret is I can’t gel isotretnoin?

Thank you for the great video! I have a question for Dr. Dray and/or her followers: is there any information out there about which retinoid would be optimal for milia-prone skin? Tretinoin or differin? I've been scouring the internet for a long time and haven't found anything addressing this. Maybe somebody here has an answer? Sending love!

What percentage of Tretinoin should I start using if I want to make the switch from Adapalene ? I completely tolerate Differin. Thanks.

Be careful with the use of Tretinoin. I started using .025% every day. I then noticed my hair started thinning. My derm schedule an appointment to get a scalp sample after examining my scalp. I got scared and told her I would cut the use down to 2 days a week. After about a month, I noticed new growth. Just be careful.

Best day ever, thank you for this video!!!
