You really don’t realize how bad your skin is until after you’ve seen what a difference a retinoid can make!
Honestly 😭
it made mine worse 😭 (yes I did everything right)
For real, as Ive been using tretinoin for 2 years and I was so surprised how much my skin changed.
@@imran4968
Which tretinion?
I've never been uglier than when I started using tretinoin...
It’s been so long, so glad you’re posting again. 🎉
Sorry I’m just busy traveling this summer 😭 any content you’d like to see soon? 👀
I recommited to Differin this year, and it's hard to be patient, but it's really worth it! Congrats on sticking with it!
You seem like such a lovely bloke. As i sit here watching, trying to figure out what retinol is... I had this thought, what would my grandfathers who both fought in world war 2 make of this... Watching a man from America teaching me how to get smoother skin. 😬😍😂
I’m so sad my insurance changed and my tretinoin increased to $300!!! I switched back to adapalene and my acne said hey girl hey I’m back 😭
😲 i pay 18usd for tretinoin
@@pf6136 I pay 1.5 dollar here in India.
I'm 10 months in and on 0.1% , Azelaic Acid 15% and Niacinimide 4% . I was using Diferin and Retinal before though .
Oooh a good combo. Where are you getting it from?
@ I'm British so Dermatica . My PM routine now is double cleanse , tret formula and moisturise but my AM is gentle cleanse and Soothing Ampoules and hydrating Toners with Panthenol .
Oooh which toners have you been loving with panthenol?
@ Purito Green Calm with Centella , its an older one , more viscous but that helps with Tret I found .
yeah, I would like an update on your hydroquinone.
Stay tuned 👀
I have been using tret with azelaic acid for a while. Both prescription. Worked amazingly for a while. But I over treated my skin. And my acne got worse, broken skin barrier. Trying to cut down on everything an s slowly build myself up again ❤
Your skin looks amazing!!!
Thank you! I really do like this azelaic acid + tret combo
I'm trying tretinoin 0.025%. Currently purging right now, having crisis on my own, and wishing for my clear skin back. But I know it'll get better. I'll be back here after a few months or a year. Hopefully, I'm in a better state.
How is it now?
Can you give us an update?
I have that prescription from Apostrophe. Along with Spiralactone and an antibiotic. I’ve only been using for two weeks and see a difference. I use it with a barrier strengthening toner, snail mucin and oat moisturizer. I also use Naturium peptide cream. These have really helped my skin not freak out!
What toners , and moisturizer have you used
You're only meant to use hydroquinone for 2 months at a time. You can get rebound hyperpigmentation if used long term. I'd be interested in your update on using it though.
I'm using a compounded tret formulation now from Dermatica and I am not having any peeling as I always did with the tubes from the pharmacy. It does not currently have azelaic acid in it, but really liking how the compounded formulas feel on the skin and seeing good results.
Not joint tret prescriptions. That's how you know the relationship is built on a strong foundation! haha
Hey Ramon, huge fan of your content. Shout out all the way from South Africa. I wish we had services like these as well this side, it would have made our lives so much easier. Keep up the good work. Your skin looks amazing 😊
Glad it is working for you, can Apostrophe add Tranexamic acid to the Azelaic & Tret? If they can I might switch from Agency to Apostrophe because Agency only does up to 5% Azelaic acid in my tret/tranexamic/niacinamide 'script and I'd like to try more because I have redness issues also.
Thanks for any info you might have!
apostrophe tretinoin is my favorite, i got the 0.05% with 4% niacin. they sent me too many bottles tho. i wish they would send them less often cause i use a little
Hello, I urgently need help. I've been using tretinoin for more than a month and now I have scars and enlarged pores. How can this happen? Please answer. Thank you and kind regards
I like to use a moisturizer with urea in it with tret.
And or one with cica (tiger grass)
Also using some numbuzin products. They give good hydration and glow.
After your video, Have a conversation with JESUS, just talk to him, am sure you will love to live normally
What is your interpretation of ‘normally’
No not the Joint Derm Appointment 😅, it was my ex gf who got me into Tretinoin and taught me everytbing about it. But sadly for her she didnt get to enjoy the fruits of her labor.😢
There was no back and forth with them and the bottle is TINY! After using this, I went back to another online dermatologist place and got my combo that’s 3-4 times the size of this company for $20!! (Just regular prescription from the pharmacy now) Apostrophe is overpriced and you don’t get what you pay for.
Agree- plus pcps will prescribe too and good rx regular prescriptions don’t expire as fast as the compounded ones
I’ve been using great barrier relief with my tret but do you know if you can use the great body relief on your face?
perfect timing! i just bought tretinoin in mexico for 75 pesos
Do you need a prescription?
@@nhana93 not in Mexico
can i use tretinion azelaic Sylisylic niacinamide hyaluronic on alternative night or day's!?? I'm from Pakistan ❤and how plz tell...my skin is Acne prone sensitive close comedones
NO! To many actives! Try using niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in the morning, and then tretinoin and azelaic acid in the night. DONT INCLUDE ANY ACIDS, NO salicylic acid.
How has your skincare routine changed in terms of incorporating actives? Like do you find that the tret has replaced some of it??
Greatly greatly appreciate this update and sharing of your journey! All of it, THANK YOU!
could you make a video on why you stayed with Apostrophe?
Using differing every night these days wish me luck
Hi Ramon, thanks for sharing your experience. Could you make a video about the differences between topical and oral retinoic acid? Thank you
Ooooh honestly I might leave this up to a derm since I haven’t used and therefore can’t recommend oral retinoic acid
I just started Tretinoin! I needed this. How often do you use your new treatment?
Still very frequently. Would you like an intro to tret routine video? 👀
@ do it King! there's not enough tret videos on youtube.
This is Gonna b so Informative Ramon🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….
Hi Whitney! I hope you have a good week!
Okay so what’s the name of the prescription combo you use?
i'll be starting hydroquinone shortly, so I'd definitely be interested in your journey on how it's working for you.
Tret ruined me when I had no acne. Switched to tazrotene and its def helped reduce my sudden adult onset acne. I'm surprised you havent Taz its loved by so many and have ordered the gel from India for wayy cheaper.
My face when he started peeling with his fingers. Noooo. Leave it alone. That makes it worse.
Thanks for this. And I like your wittiness and humor😊
I do mine RNW Essence RNW DER Ceramide Serum Protini Drunk Elephant then my .05 Tretnoin Cream prescription … that ceramide c serum is incredible building up my skin barrier no irritation at all …. do love the Peach Slices AA redness relief serum it’s so fluffy creamy nice!!!
Yes please, 3x mo update on hydroquinone for us girls! Also, great video as always and I can understand you just fine and I don't think you speak too fast, I think ppl should use active listening skills imo! I love it bc you don't waste my time with unnecessary talking... Thank you again
I use great barrier relief to buffer my tret too!! And I sandwich with DRMTLGY's peptide night cream because it never stings when I happen to be retinizing
Hello, I've been using tretinoin for half a month and my pores are enlarging :-( Is this only temporary. Should I continue or stop? And somehow the scars are two deeper. I'm at a loss. Kind regards
That’s temporary, you have to wait 2 months of using it until it starts working. Most people it takes 3 months, you have to be very patient. The scars being deeper isn’t normal, but tretinoin usually gets rid of scars. How to use - get a very very gentle moisturizer (Cerave gentle moisturizer) is good, use mosturizer wait 1 minute and then apply tretinoin and then wait 1 minute and then apple moisturizer again, keep doing that for 1 month, and then just apple tretinoin and moisturizer the normal way.
Once i get used to tret i added azelaic acide and then when i get used to both i added vitamin c to them lol
I gave tretinoin a go, but ultimately I decided to go back to using Adapalene. Tret was just way too finicky, and it felt like it was getting in the way of my skincare goals rather than helping me reach them. Adapalene just does its job and keeps my acne at bay.
I can see that! What adapalene do you use?
@ I initially used a Wal-mart branded generic, but the texture of Differin is so much nicer. It's definitely worth the few extra dollars for me. I want to try the La Roche Posey adapalene, but it's not easily available where I live.
Super interesting! So Differin is def an upgrade in quality. Did you feel like the Walmart one still at least worked?
@@TsubataLatelyI've tried the La Roche Posay and I do like it.
@ The Walmart one definitely worked. I used it for six months or so before making the switch. At that point, my skin was clear and I wasn't dealing with any unpleasant side effects anymore.
My Curology had
0.018 % Tret
1% Clindamycin
8 % Azaleic Acid
The nerve! I thought jt had more Azaleic Acid! I did it during the pandemic when my skin started being fussy and I eventually got lazy I still have two bottles I’m using them now to use them up and get started again somewhere with tret. I want to see more of your journey and the Hudroquinone.
Adapalene wasn't enough for my acne but I used it for 7 months twice a day to prep my skin for tretinoin, then I went to daily tret 0.5% right away no sandwich method and my skin didn't freak out much (only a few small irritations here and there and a few cystic pimples for the 1st month), I was still using adapalene in the morning to help but now I use tret 0.5% twice a day because adapalene just runs out so fast and it wasn't strong enough. Weirdly enough as much as 15% azelaic acid helped my acne for the first few days it's the only thing that really irritates my skin, it gave me dermatitis and rashes but the 10% doesn't do anything.
When I first tried tretinoin without using adapalene prior it was a whole mess and I was breaking out even more.
How was the purging w adapalene?
I've thought about trying something like this for a bit. 🤔 I am intrigued. ❤
Why does every retinoid / tretinoin UA-camr have super oily skin? Does it make your skin oily / shiny?
No, usually we have acne prone skin and post acne issues and retinoids are some of the best topicals to utilize to remedy those issues. Most of us who go into content creation did so because skincare became an important part of our lives because of skincare issues we had/have
Your shirt is gorgeous!! Where is it from?
Never tried tret or azelaic acid.
I've been using tretinoin 0.1% for 4 years and it was a hell of a journey but i sucked it up and kept going, my sking got used to and i have the best skin of my life.
I bought niacinamide powder and mixed it with water and glycerin to make a face mist that i used continuously during the day if im at home, i use sunblock everyday and a thick layer of Vaseline at night after my tretinoin.
I swear my skin looks like it's made of porcelain tretinoin is my savior!
Hi, how do u use tretinoin and Vaseline, can you elaborate more plz ?
@hope4017 definitely. After i apply my tretinoin, i wait 10 mins, then apply a thick layer of Vaseline before going to bed. Vaseline might increase sensitivity, so if you use tretinoin 0.1%, i would replace it for tretinoin 0.05% until your skin gets used to it.
Popular myth: People tend to think that Vaseline might make you break out, but i notice that it makes it easier to scrub the death skin the next day while you take a shower.
Please dont use physical exfoliants. The tip of your fingers on wet skin will do enough to "scrub off" the dead skin.
If tretinoin is too drying, i would use a very thin layer of Vaseline on clean face or a very Emollient sunscreen and would stop using matte foundations until the skin gets used to the tretinoin.
If you started tretinoin and have any questions (like skin is too irritated that even water stings, or what other actives you should try and when) just tag me and I'll try my best to reply ASAP.
@@nikovanegas2735 Hii, I've a question. Is it normal to get enlarged pores at the first stage of tretinoin treatment?? And can i use azelaic acid with tretinoin as a beginner?? Thnx in advance😊
💙💙💙
bro just asking are you gay ?
