You're welcome :)
Very good information. I love watching your UA-cam videos. They have helped me a lot to understand my acne prone skin ! Thank you.
I’m soo glad! I have so many more videos coming that hopefully help too 🥰
Stunning, so well-spoken and very helpful. So happy I found this video 🤍
As a for,er esthetician myself I just found you and your channel is fantastic
Yayy!! So happy you’re here!! ❤️Thank you 🥰
Everything you said was true !!!! In addition its good to use non-comedogenic oils (Hemp/Rosehip) on the days that you do not use tretinoin.
Good to see you back. I had covid like last week and I was down tremendous happy new year! Also I got some youtube gear and my recorder just came in to today! 🤯🥳
Same!! yayyy!! Let me know when you start your channel so I can watch! Happy new year 🎊🥰
@@SarahSaleen of course 😊 glad your back and feeling better
My dermatologist told me to use every other day to get use to it for two weeks and then use everyday 😔 love you for these videos thanking you! my face was going through it till this video 💖
Same here
I have faced with all the difficulties you have mentioned here. Therefor, damaged my skin barrier. wish this vdo found me sooner.
This was an excellent video.
I learned things i didn't know! Thank you so much
I know your talking about skincare, but I couldn’t help to notice how natural your makeup looks. Can you do makeup routine sometime?
Of course! I’ve gotten this request a few times so I’ll try and I’m get it out very soon! It’s super easy ☺️
@@SarahSaleen can I use tretenoin r ordinary serums together?
@@Basit759 which ones
I’m having white spots appear on my face now that I started using tretinoin, is this normal? Will the spots fade over time?
@@kiarajones1959 Did they?
So true about that waxing! Whew, I learned the hard way!!
I won't lie. My derm just upped my tretinoin percentage. I went through a mini purge and in 1 week I feel like my skin looks a little younger. I need to tweeze!!! Bummer, my wax strips are sooo fast ... I made the mistake of using wax when I first started years ago. I also made the mistake of benzoyl peroxide face wash. Needless to say my new percentage means I need to switch my face wash routine.
All in all I'm happy.
I use snail mucin on my face before my sunscreen. It helps with the flakes that I occasionally get.
Welcome back😊. This video is so helpful. I had to back to adapalene/benzoyl peroxide from tretinoin. I felt like it wasn't helping my breakouts. Now with the winter I feel like I am breaking out more on my face and really itchy. So I have downsize on how much I apply like your video mentioned. Anyhow, would love a video on dry weather and acne.
I’ve downsized on my tret as well for the winter, and my skincare routines have really changed to accommodate for the cold months with acne prone skin too! I Will be sharing my routines and tips for acne prone skin in the winter, with before and after pics, in the videos I have planned for this month so I hope they end up being helpful ☺️
@@SarahSaleen Great. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video I've been using tretnion for 4 years and I've been using it wrong which is why I've never seen results. So upset that my dermatologist didn't share these directions with me!
After 4 years... impossible to not see results. Ridiculous. Why would you lie unless you are compulsive?
Itna jut kon bolta hai bae🥴🤣🤣
@@hakkunamatata751😅
Maine khud purchase kiya hai but comments read kr rahi hu sabki kuch samjh nhi aarha how to use in correct way I ‘m scared
Thank you very much, recently I got back onto the cream and been applying lots within a day 😭🙏
You are literally the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. 😊💙🧡
Thank you! This is so helpful. ❤
Thanks for the info, I start using it tomorrow.
Can you do a makeup routine and overall makeup for acne prone skin! Like how u keep ur skin healthy while wearing makeup! Xoxo
Yess I will 🥰
Very helpful thanks ❤
I had dark spot and acne at the two ends of my faces my doctor first recommended me a different one for 2 months (lol I actually don't remember it's name, my face was so bad that I had to use it..and I am 15(soon too be 16) then she recommended me to use this tretrion...after all my dark spots and blackheads were gone bro-but I still have acne...I took some breaks like I skip some days without wearing it and I was so tensed..thanks for sharing your point of view...and I use this cream only at the areas where I have acne....you know for most of the people including me...the acne might come again but that's normal I guess it's just your acne is coming out...but soon you will have an amazing and glowing skin....Never give up guys...keep doing it😍
AND PLS DON'T USE MAKEUPS AND TRY TO SKIP CHOCOLATES...AND DRINK MORE WATER:L
......That's what my doctor recommended to me!!!
woah I was doing so much wrong. thank you so much!!!
I have ordered this. I have had blackheads for a number of years and nothing gets rid off it. Your skin is beautiful
She's young
@@beccalynn1970 yes but her skin looks good just coz your young doesn’t mean you have good skin
@@beccalynn1970my skin is horrible even tho i am young so what s your point 5:55
Wish i saw this before i followed my mom's directions. I was already on my own skincare journey with glycolic acid(2x a week) and just daily wash and moisturizer. She kept on saying that Differin would give me the glassy look in a week and to just switch over, i tried it to get her to stop nagging me, now my skin is the worst its ever been, peeling, cracking and irritating all because she told me to apply it everynight before i went to sleep, i had only been on my 3rd day when my skin got really severe. Im taking a break from it to try and recover but i can already see a lot of scars forming. Do your own research before following someone else's experience!!😭
Sue your mom
Awesome. Thanks 🤍
I can't help looking at your beautiful thick & hair! Any vids on hair products/routine? You're a beauty!

@@SarahSaleen Thanks much for replying 💙
I've subbed, so will check your vids. Love your straight forward & informative explanations & genuine sincerity.
Im using retinol, its also very good.
My doctor told me to do a facial 2 weeks into having started using retin-a. Based on all your advice I'm thinking the doctor hasn't given me very good advice because I'm guessing the facial will be too harsh for my skin so early into using the retin-a. She advised me to use 0.1% every other night for 2 weeks then come for the facial. Seeking your advice because my priority is doing what is safest for my skin. Thanks
Hi 💙My advise doesn’t replace that of your medical provider. But I will say in my experience. Retin a prior to any facial peels specifically can exaggerate the peel sometimes, on the other hand retin a use can actually be a great prep for some facial peels and can speed healing.. however this is after the skin has adjusted to it, typically a month or more of use in my experience. With only using it for two weeks your skin may still be adjusting to the retin a.. but this can be different for everyone. You can always access your skin in two weeks and see how the adjustment is going.. it definitely does not hurt to stay on tret longer and do a facial when you personally feel comfortable.
@@SarahSaleen thanks a lot. Really appreciate the quick response and advice. I think I will wait a bit longer before scheduling the facial.
I did a facial while using tretinoin and it was so uncomfortable. All the products used started burning on my skin and I couldn’t sit through the facial. The esthetician said to be off tret for at least a week before coming back for a facial.
Not every healthcare professional gives good advice. It’s like saying everyone is good at their jobs, there are plenty of healthcare professionals that are bad at what they do. If your skin is reacting very sensitively, logically having a facial would not be a good idea. I would recommend asking another healthcare professional if you don’t intuitively agree with your doctor. It’s always good to get a second opinion and listen to your body. 🤍
@@artisticagiu mean now u r not using tretinoin ? I ‘m scared before use this cream 😢 please tell me
Can you please make a video about teeth whiting/ dental hygiene tips. Your teeth are amazing!
Hey yess!! I’ll talk about it in my videos! ☺️
I wish I found your video before I got my eyebrows waxed....I have three huge skin burns from waxing - THREE!!!! My goodness. Well at least I learned.
Your skin is gorgeous!!!!
Thank you darling ❤️❤️
Hi beautiful, what’s the best sun screen and face moisturizer? I currently use Cetaphil Derma-control oil absorbing moisturizer 2 in one is that one good enough for my tret? Thank you.
Hey beauty Thankyou so much for making such good content for us i love your videos and you are very good at communicating with us I have been going trough a drastic acne since a year now and my acne is somewhat calmed down but the past ones have left out PIH and PIE i used Alpha Arbutin from ur recommendation n i love it cuz its so good i use the one with Hyaluronic acid but i cant see the best change like they are fading but is taking hella time and a new pimple comes and again leaves a scars so can u please suggest a product which would makes them fade quicker than Alpha Arbutin?
Hey! Thank you so much 😻😻😻Yes sometimes a combination of of ingredients is most helpful. Here are a few options.
If you have access to purchasing the topicals faded serum, that one has a combination of actives for pigmentation. I show this is my recent short video.
A second option instead is the facetheory exaglow serum.
A third option would be incorporate azelaic acid, and/ or tranexamic acid. Tranexamic is non exfoliating and works well in combo with alpha arbutin. I mention it in my past hyperpigmentation videos. Azelaic acid can help with hyperpigmentation as well and can help a bit with acne too.
@@SarahSaleen Thankyou love💖
i love your videos 🙌🏽
Thank you for watching them ☺️😘
Happy to see you again ❤️
A quick question , I'm suffering from inflammatory acne ( pustule ) on my cheeks . I'm too scared to use BHA or AHA as my skin barrier is disturbed due to these acne , hence I've stuck to simple nourishing routine . How am I supposed to deal with this .
Hey! Are you currently using any actives on your skin at all, including retinoids?
@@SarahSaleen nope
If using a bha or strong aha makes you nervous, start with an azelaic acid serum. Naturium has one (I prefer the emulsion for acne skin) , the ordinary has one. The one I currently have in my rotation is from face theory.
It’s a gentle exfoliant, helps with acne bacteria, it’s anti inflammatory, but it’s gentle and safe on all skin types.
You can always incorporate a more gentle salicylic cleanser a few times a week as well. Using a bha in cleanser form will be a lot more gentle on the skin. The cere ve sa cleanser is pretty gentle.
@@SarahSaleen thanks a lot for your reply ♥️
@@SarahSaleen I literally JUST posted a comment asking about the Cerave SA cleanser, and then I see this comment. You are so awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤ it is very informative.
Is micro needling and algae peels also not recommended whilst on Tretinoin?
i do needling every few months and i use tret everyday. hoping to reverse pcos acne and scars, my skin is a lot smoother after 2 months daily use. the first month was awful and peeling all over tight and dry, now its fine.
I started using it daily straight off the bat, no issues
how’s your skin doing?
@@ashanti5859It’s been about few weeks so far so good. It definitely works, as I can see more dead skin when I wash my face.
1)Should a person with clear skin use tretinoin to get glass skin?
2)Will they still get pimples after starting to use tretinoin if it was not there earlier?
3) I was using retinoid serum for around 4 years, now since 2 weeks I tried tretinoin cream 0.025% once a week using sandwich method, still my skin is flaking near forehead,mouthand nostril area. What needs to be done?
Pls reply
I have made literally all these mistakes 😅 But my skin recovered and I'm on the other side of my journey!
I did too at one point 😂.. Yayy I’m happy for you 😻😻
How you recvrr
Plz tell
Thank you😭🙏🏻
Thanks so much i have been using it wrongly... thanks for your help,may i ask can i use it twice a week then morning i apply vitamin c serum
Hey do you know about the product called Acnatac Gel? it has 0.025% tretinoin in it, but also a an antibiotic called clindamycin in it. The reason I'm using acnatac is for tretinoin and it's benefits(anti aging, scars), not for acne which I don't suffer from. I worry that the clindamycin will affect the positive benefits from the tretinoin. Do you know anything about this? I can't get pure tretinoin in my country.
I’ve been using tret for many years and it’s been so good up until 3 days ago! It started to itch and my texture changed. My cheek melasma also darker from irritation. ;( been off it for a week to heal
Yesss our skin can change and tolerate tret differently. Many factors can contribute to this but I’m glad you’re taking some time off of it to recover ❤️
Hey...I wanna know how's your skin been now?? Are you back on tret??
Hey I wanna use tretnoin for reducing my dark spots.. I don't have active acne. Can I use it ? And I have a dry skin already. Please tell me this thanks in advance ❤️
You look so beautiful and me looking your shine ,glow and that eye waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah😍
Hi! What mineral sunscreen were u applying in this video? At time stamp 6:51?
I wanted to try the ordinary peeling solution, but I also want to start tretinoin once or twice a week. I have papular pustular rosacea, and that comes with redness and thickening of skin. Zinc is the only thing to truly help calm that. I have also purchased azelaic acid. How would you suggest that I can try and use all of these products? Could you recommend a schedule ? I'm waiting for my skin to calm down before starting anything..if i can't use all of these products which do you think would be more beneficial? I am trying to get rid of rolling scars and hyperpigmentation .
Hi may I know we apply moisturiser or tretinoin first? Thank you in advance
I have pigmentation from waxing my upper lip and from sun burn on my cheeks and nose bridge.
When should I apply moisturizer before or after tretinoin
When we use tretinion during the night, next morning is it necessary to wash face with face wash or just with water is fine?
Hi, I dont have acne but I have smile lines and clogged pores , can I use tretinoin?
Do we need the prescription from dermatologist or we can buy this online sources ? Is it safe to start using on your own?
Can you share your lash Routine? What products do you use?
Yess here ❤️❤️ ua-cam.com/users/shortsKTVRT5ZYfXY?feature=share
Thank you 😊
Hey saleen, if after using tretinoin 0.025% cream purging starts then how to cure that purging rapidly and safely ?? Please help... Imma beginner with tretinoin
Also, is it safe to go for facial hair laser removal during the usage
Is taking steam harms the skin during the break period of tretinoin?
Thank you!
🤍🤍
My doctor prescribed me treclin gel (tretinoin and clindamycin), should I be asking for just tretinoin? Your videos have helped me a lot, I’ve been doing everything you say not to! It’s no wonder my skin has been burning!
Hi! No that combo sounds great! I’ve used it myself in the past.. Clindamycin is great for treating acne. Tret will increase the cell turnover and the clindamycin will kill bacteria. Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
I use it every other day, been doing this for 2 years, no purging, irritation nothing... So just use it once or twice a week or when you rmbr
Did you go on it for acne?! I don’t know if any other day long term would work for acne?
You’re so pretty 🖤 Does tretinoin do anything for hormonal acne in the long run?
Thank you love! Studies have shows tret can decrease the amount of Hormonal acne and over all inflammation.
While it doesn’t directly target hormonal fluctuations, it can be combined with other hormone balancing habits to target the acne. So, more like an addition to your low glycemic diet, exercise, supplements, and anything else you may do long term to help balance hormones. Hope that makes sense ❤️
Hi, I was curious what you think about enlarged pores from tretinoin use...I have been using it for a couple of months but one day realized I was very oily and my pores had enlarged...thinking it might be due to drying out I added more moisture and used the sandwich technique. My skin is less oily but the pores are still enlarged. Looking it up on the Internet people have reported mixed results- some say it goes away and your pores shrink again after some time on tret. And others report there skin remained with large pores for as long as they used tret which for one woman was 7 years.
Thank you God Bless Dear
When does the purge start and how long does it typically last?
Can you please make a video on makeup for acne prone skin , what foundation brand do you use ?
Yess I will! I love stellar beauty 🥰
@@SarahSaleen thank you 🙏😊🤍
I Have Been Using It Since 1 Week My Skin Becomes Light Red And Peel A Little Bit All Over My Face Can I Get Help To Stop This Or It Will Stop If I Go On Using For Another 2 or 3 Weeks ?
I started using Tretinoin for stretch marks, but under my underarms where i hydrate and i got a huge fungal infection because of the hydrating and sweating... awful
Hello ma'am ..can I apply minimalist acid and then apply tretinoin after that ?
I've been using tretinoin 0.025% for multiple months now, but I'm still getting minor flaky skin around the mouth area if I use it consecutively. And one hyperpigmented patch. I don't use tretinoin every day though. I wonder if my skin will EVER get used to it at this point 😅. I think my scrubbing on cleansing my foundation with micellar water isn't helping either because my skin still stings.
Did you see any results?
What about now?
@@taranpreetkaur8692 i think so, yeah for me I just had to use it not as regularly
@@nazmulislam9339 to be honest I havent been using it lately my tube of tretinoin ran out but I definetely needed to give my skin some break inbetween usage. I may switch to retinol for the time being since tretinoin is very strong for my skin (which I guess is why many people use it with a doctors prescription)
Wht abt ur hyperpigmented patch... does it get cured on ur recovery period
Tysm for sharing 🙏🏼✨
When using treiton at the beginning for 2 days a week. Would you use normal retinol for the rest of the days?
Hey I have a question 🙋♀️ if we are using tretinoin in our pm routine,is it ok to use makeup in day time?
What natural moisturizers can I use with Tretinion.
Can I use tretinoin with my skin care routine? Oil cleanser, foam cleanser, toner, essence, serum, eye cream, moisturizer?
While using tretinoin, can I use salicylic and niacinamide acid based face wash??
Makes it the skin really thinner? I heard about that, so I am scared to use it, because I could look older account of that. But I heard also that it helps with wrinkles and it should make you look younger. What is true now?
I have the 0.01 tretinoin and was told by a doctor to put it on spots, not all around my face. Should I continue to do it on the spots or all around? Mine is a gel consistency.
Thanks for any help!
Gel one is more effective so use is it has told by your doctor
Or while applying mix it with a mousturizer in your hand and applied over all your face😊 i do the same
But I just start using tretinoin for my acne 😢 hope they will go...
Thanks a lot ‘ is this also apply for acretin?
I have bumpy textured skin, hyperpigmentation , white heads and some dark spots. I'm so confused can u recommend the best product??
I’m still adjusting and have very sensitive skin, will once a week make it challenging for the skin to adjust? I heard somewhere that you need to use it at least every 3 days to adjust but I’m not sure my skin can handle that right now. Curious if that is just a myth. Thank you for your great content! Best videos I’ve found on Tret so far :)
Thank you 🥰 so I’ve had clients tell me they use it once a week for years and have seen results. It all depends on many factors like the skin, concentration, sensitivity. I started at once a week and added another day every few weeks when I was building my tolerance and it was so helpful. It was a slower process but now I use it regularly. You will always hear conflicting information and I’ve heard derms stress using it 3 times a week at least while other will advise starting once a week for sensitive skin.
@@SarahSaleen thank you so much! So glad to hear that worked well for you and others. I’m gonna start doing it only once a week 🙏🏻❤️
im starting tretinoin this friday and i found this really helpful! instead of waxing, i shave and is it possible for me to do still do that while using it? i also use panoxyl (benzoyl peroxide) cleanser and idk if it’ll be too strong
Hey! If your skin isn’t irritated you can continue face shaving, and avoid using tret on nights that you shave. If your skin does get irritated you can follow the tips in the video I’m putting up later this week. I have a beginners guide to tretinoin video as well that may help.
I would minimize the panoxyl use, or if your skin gets too dry from the tret you can take a break from the bp and come back to it once things calm down ❤️❤️
@@SarahSaleen tysm for the tips 💕 i’ll definitely watch the beginners video!
Hi how has been using the Tretinoin
Thanks 😊
hey, i started tret 3 day ago, and i got red some huge break out on my T zone, and i dont know if it's purging and i should continu or stop the tret. Can u plzz tell what do u think ?
Thank you so much, u look stunning love
Thank you for this video
I’m about to start using it and I will definitely do the steps you mention
God bless sis
Hello ma'am, can I use retinol and apply sunscreen only once in a day?😅
My doctor prescribed me with acnatac which has clindamycin and tret in it, I was told to use it every night (for three months) to treat my acne, I’ve used Epiduo for about five months and I’m wondering; is if bad for my skin to start using acnatac just like that every night?
Hi Sarah I would like to know is that ok to use tretinoin along with Estée Lauder night serum?
Yes! You can
What can I do to reduce irrigation and redness... On my face it hurts
I’m feeling the burn rn fam I got it for hair loss (sulfotransferase in Tretinoin can increase hair regrowth with minoxidil)
Oh wow yes I’ve read a few studies on this, but don’t have any experience with it. Would love to know how that goes. Goodluck with your journey 💙
@@SarahSaleen thank you if it works for re-up pls keep making more content it has been helping me
I'm the only person maybe who didn't go to that purging process.. I only used tretinoin for 5 days and see amazing results and I don't even have one single new pimple!! Maybe my skin is not sensitive 😅
are u still free of purging??
@@porodeltata3369 yeah lol I got like 10 pimples before my periods and now after 3 days those pimples are not even visible it's all because of tretoin.. keep using it u will see amazing results... and it's the only product that is working on me right now.. just don't stop using it..
I have an extreme acne prone skin and whenever i went to dermat they only give me antibiotics which after the course breaks me out once I'm off the meds and also ive been using tretnoin for the lst 8 months and i thought i was purging butt it lasted till this date and I don't know what to do next .
Acne can be really frustrating. I ve been on diet sugarfree, no dairy no fast food only greens only water . Nothing worked not even a single thing.
How do you know when to move to using it more then once a week
Do I still experience purging when I switch from Adapalene to Tretinoin? I am on my 4th month on Adapalene and I feel like it's not doing anything and just made my acne worse than before. So I wanted to try Tret and see if it will improve my acne marks, as this is my main concern (red scarring due to Adapalene).
Took me 8 months to see the full results of Adapalene before I switched to Tretinoin 0.025.
Adapalene works slow but really gives you that glow, i used to use tret before Adapalene
And yes there might be purging, cause tret works quick
Hey can I use toner along with tretinoin?
I’ve been feeling a burning sensation from applying moisturizer, how long should I wait until I can use my tretinoin again?
Can one use retinol after applying tretinoin?
Hi! I'm about to get consistent with my Tret routine, but I just switched to the Cerave Salicylic Acid face wash. Should I switch back to a more gentle cleanser?
You can always switch to your gentle cleanser for a while, and if your skin does well you could always incorporate it back in slowly, even by using the salicylic acid cleanser in the mornings ❤️
Hi...can we use salicylic acid cleanser before tretinoin
