  • Pea size amount, dot method.
    Don’t mix with your moisturizer. It won’t affect efficacy but mixing isn’t perfect and inevitably leads to collection of retinoids on skin and hot spots of irritation!
    Dotting few across cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin, then spread. Follow with your moisturizer or do a moisturizer-retinoid sandwich.
    Do you use this method?

    Should we use tretin after moisturizer or before moisturizer for the night?

    • @jacky79322
      @jacky79322 Рік тому +1

      Most people do it after the moisturizer to avoid drying side effects. You can even sandwich moisturizers between the tretinoin. If your skin is not sensitive, it doesn’t matter when you put on that moisturizer as they’re both creams.

      IANAD, but here's my nightly regimen: I apply it directly to freshly cleansed skin at bedtime, before moisturizer, then "slug" it all in with a thin layer of Vaseline patted (not rubbed) over my whole face. Admittedly, I seem to have extremely INsensitive skin on my face, though, so I don't get irritated easily.
      But for with sensitive skin, my dermatologist recommends trying several things: waiting about 20 min after cleansing to apply it, applying it after moisturizer, mixing it with moisturizer, or just only applying it a few times a week until your skin gets used to it.
      Of course, talking to a dermatology provider would be the best route, as all I can do is pass on what I was told.
      Best wishes and good luck! ❤👍

    I know tretinion works way faster than retinols, but as for the long term results is it basically the same?

    • @Puda
      @Puda 8 місяців тому

      Yes for 0.01 and 0.025% no for 0.05 and 0.1%. (You can find studies online) Also note that 0.01 and 0.025 still allow you to get the same result than using multiple layers/creams. So instead of using say 5 creams, 1 (tretinoin) will give you the same result. However, for anything stronger (0.05 and 0.1) you will get better results than retinols.

      I wouldn't ever recommend using it without input from a dermatology provider, as it can *severely* irritate and dry your skin! The first retinoid I was prescribed was too strong, and my skin literally split wide open from my lips down to my chin! I had a scar for years!

      Most advise not to apply on the corners of the mouth, nose and eyes. Some don't recommended putting it on neck because the potential of increasing crepiness because of the thinness of the neck. So any part of the face where its thinner is better to avoid directly applying plus tret migrates abit so theres a chance the thinner parts get the benefits without the extreme irritation if you were to directly apply it there.
