Thanks 🙏🏻 - I just placed my order for the 2 products - hopefully my skin will look like yours soon 😊 I’m being using the products for less than a week and I’m peeling I little bit. But I’m used to that...
SO excited to hear your results! Take before and after pics. You can tag me on Instagram too. Don't forget to use your SPF daily or this will not work and you won't see the benefits. I plum forgot to stress the importance of using daily SPF and reapplying if using something potent like this retinol gel. 😘
Bought!! You use this stated 1-2x week. Do you use your Rx retinol on days that you don’t use this or ONLY this now? And it’s used only at night, right? Thanks!! Xoxo
@@chrys_. Hey there! I don't use my Rx at all anymore. BUT you still can if you want to and just use this once or twice a week at night...only on a night you aren't using another retinol or Rx retin-a. Hope that helps. 💜
Marian I tend to have sensitive skin and would like to try retinol creams I am 66 years old my skin isn’t too bad for my age but I would like to know what strength to use to start with I want to order the creams but would it be ok to use them as a first
So I ordered this product immediately when you first posted this video, received it within days and started using it immediately. I’ve only been able to use it about every 10 days due to micro-peeling - so a total of 6 times now. I can’t say I’ve seen huge improvement of wrinkles, but that’s not really an issue for me. What I’ve seen is firmer skin! This jowls you speak of? Ugh! They’ve been working their way into my life for the past 5 years (I’m 55). They are practically non-existent now. So I wanted to thank you for this video - it has been a game-changer.
Wow!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that! Yes can you believe how firm it makes your skin? I NEVER had results like that with my prescription retin-a! I'm so glad you are having great results too!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Don't forget your daily SPF🌞😘
Hi! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you! I have taken your advice on several products...truth treatment systems retinol, Elta MD spf, Niod super oxide mist and city lips (and I'm waiting on the hair growth shampoo from Amazon ) and omgoodness can I just tell you every single product is amazing and exactly as you described it...you were already my absolute favorite UA-camr and now I am so grateful to you for sharing your amazing beauty tips and advice to us women who may not be as educated or as experienced as you are on the right skin care products. I always say us women should lift each other up instead of bringing each other down and I appreciate you so much for that. You are so beautiful and are just as beautiful inside as you are outside. So I just wanted to send you a genuine Thank you for your wonderful videos and skin care advice! You're the best! 👑❣️✝️🐾
Wow Kimberly! This is awfully kind of you. I love the follow up and letting me know how the products work for you. That really means a lot. And I am so touched but your kind words 😘 Thank YOU!!!! Made my day!
So I bought this after seeing this video. It’s only been a week and I’m shook. My skin hates everything! Ive been using the moisturizer daily and I’ve used the spray and 5% twice and my skin has completely changed! In the best ways possible! Thank you so much for sharing this product!
Wow that's so awesome! That's exactly what I was like after just 2 times using it. I mean I've heard people rave about this for a few years but I honestly didn't believe the hype til I tried it. I absolutely LOVE this product. It reveals beautiful fresh youthful skin. Thank you for sharing your results! Make sure you are wearing spf every single day. Sooo important! You now have that new skin that needs to be protected. 💜
I used Trentinoin for 10 years and my skin could never get used to it no matter what I tried. I have switched to Adapalene in the past year and I'm very happy with it. I feel like I get the same results, but with much less of the harshness, peeling skin, and burning. And, it's much cheaper for those of us not able to get our insurance to cover it, which is most of us.
Hi Jodie, Yes the Adapalene is lots less irritating and cheaper than the tretinoin.The Acne Free brand is a much better price than the Differin brand too. Insurance typically only pays for tretinoin if it's for acne. Go figure.
@@MyLoVeLyMaN How old are you? I notice that it helps with my pores, which causes skin discoloration. My skin is more taut with it as well. It will never be as good as trentinoin and if you can adjust to the trent, I encourage that. Long term; however, I do believe the adapalene helps. Remember that trent was an acne medication before it was an anti aging? Both are acne meds and both are vitamin A just a different form. :) Hop that helps.
This the first time I have visited your channel. I think you are the epitome of class and grace. You are so kind to respond to so many posts. Although people are entitled to their opinion, there are proper or more positive ways of sharing it (it's all in the way it is said). You are kind enough to give your opinion and results on this product TT with a comparison to others, and subscribers can choose what to do with it. Therefore, don't let the negativity of a few get to you. I was visiting here and loved your mannerism and etiquette; The professionalism you exude has made me a new subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you Karrine. I really appreciate that. I do try to reply to everyone since I am so appreciative you all even take your valuable time to watch my channel. Sometimes I can't get to everyone but I'm so grateful. I'm happy to have you here. Hope you're having a beautiful day 💛
I was using 0.5% tretinoin since the 80s (!) although now I only use it once a week as i felt it was making my skin not look so good. I think is probably due to my age (64). So I am now using the Ordinary 2% retinoid in squalane alternated with the 5% version. I use the tretinoin once a week. My skin looks really good and nobody believes my age. I live in Europe.
I just ordered the 5% and the mist. I’ve been using retin-a for 4 years and though it’s kept looking youngish for my 43 year old face I’m ready for more. I heard another youtuber say how clinical retinol made a bigger difference then retin-a. I also rotate my retina-a with lactic acid from the ordinary. Your beautiful without makeup so I’m definitely taking your advice!
Your skin looks amazing as usual....❤❤ I started to use the TT 5% back in late February and like you I'm in love with the results. I use 1 sometimes 2 times a wk. I realized a few months into using this product that I hadn't even touched my prescription strength retinol and I was so happy because your correct in the end the cost of the TT will end up saving you money and with better results. So I was able to stop all other retinol/tretinoin except my Osmosis Renew I keep that for in between days because that is also an amazing product. ❤❤
Yes! Love that Dianne. Me too I still use the Renew too. Do you know I just found out we can use Renew during the day? I never know that. It isn't sensitive to light because of how it's formulated. Leah at SBRX just told me that. She said some use it in a.m and TT retinol at night. I may try that.
i’m 29 and i’ve been using neutrogena retinol since i was 18. now i’m on apostrophe tretinoin 0.05% / 4% niacinamide. i get regular laser facials and wear SPF all the time and reapply. i got a tiny bit of filler too and i’m currently working on getting rid of my double chin with kybella lol. i just wanna look like myself for forever 🤓🤗
Thank you Edith, I'm also sitting in front of a bright window so it helps make my skin look better than it really is. LOL If you follow me on Instagram I often share super close up photos so you can see my skin even better.
I bought the 1% after seeing this video and I have to say that I do notice a big difference in my skin. I look glowy and my face seems smooth. The gel feels so good on my face, I don’t even need to put moisturizer on after it. I just go to bed and wake up to fresh skin. Make sure to use your sun screen in the morning (and every morning). I only use this at night before bed.
We're the same age, I am really impressed how young you look, you look 10 yrs younger than me. Your skin is beautiful. Alot of hard work and persistence.
I got the 5% gel about 5 mknths ago. What a difference. My skin looks fabulous and i am almost 60. I started using it 3x week. I got lots of irritatuon putring it in my neck. Love it!!
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Im going in for a facelift consult next week. Im sixty and haven't slept taking care of mom for the past four years before she passed. Hope someday I can have it done. Well, that retin A has done a great job!
Yes retin-a a is fabulous. I may eventually start using it again someday and just incorporate this retinol gel every 10 days as a treatment. That's what a lot of people do.
If you don't mind, how to you incorporate retin A into your routine?I have it, but don't use it often because I'm scared. It's very sunny where I live so I must be careful.
That's awesome. Retin-a is fabulous. I truly think that's what kept so many of my wrinkles away for so many years...well and sunscreen... and having oily skin! 🤪
I just turned 51 last month. Retinol causes my skin to get so dry and actually burns the skin around my nose. You must be so careful as you can get badly sunburned if you don’t use sunscreen too. I’m using a L’Oréal $8 face cream from Amazon that does the job for me. When I do get into buying products, I love Perricone M.D. As long as you eat healthy, and drink plenty of water. However, at the end of the day, it’s all down to your genetics too! My mother had beautiful skin and didn’t use any fancy products. Even makeup, I don’t have time to get all dolled up every day. Then you have to spend an hour cleaning it off at bedtime. Thank you for your videos and I’ll subscribe to your channel to see if I can learn something new. Paula 💕
I am loving your product reviews, you are an inspiration to have flawless skin. You are a testimony to persistence and self-care. I will be trying these products and will let you know how I go. Thank you for your review greatly appreciated.
I had done Retin-A since I was 12 believe it or not! I am 56 now and since I was 50, I was on and off this product because of the harshness on my skin the older I get. Really happy to find something new! Thank you! Looking forward to checking out other videos!
Wow Lisa thank you for sharing that. 12 yrs old. Oh my goodness, well then please let us know your results after trying this because I think you will really love this.
I wish I could afford this. $199 is a bit out of my budget range. But thank you for sharing. Always nice to know there are options other than Retin-A. I’ll just stick with my curology for now and maybe I’ll splurge on myself for Christmas. 😉☺️
I have been using the Truth Treatment systems for more than a year. I have used 5% retinol gel along with omega 6 healing cream, transdermal C balm and other products from this line. I have seen a huge difference in my skin. Amazing products
You have good genetic. That's make a huge difference. I am the same. When my mother was almost 80 years old and you should see her skin! Sooo beautiful!
@@dydb The women on my mother’s side do absolutely nothing to prevent premature aging (not even spf) and still get mistaken for being much younger than they really are. Genetics play a huge role
Now I want to try this! I get my Retin A for so cheap, so I'd definitely be spending more. Do you use any Retin A products during the week when you aren't using this? I have been using the highest dose of Retin A nightly for some time, so it would be a change doing it only once a week, but sounds good. Thanks! :)
Hey Holly, if you decide to try it, I'll bet you will fall in love too. No I don't use my RX at all anymore. I mainly use an AHA or BHA at night now or a Vit C on the nights I'm not using the TT 5% retinol. Once in a blue moon I will use another OTC retinol one night a week. But for the most part this is the only retinol product I now use.
Sherry your skin is gorgeous! I just turned 56 and I’m blessed with good skin as a start but in the last 5-6yrs I feel like I’ve turned back the clock a bit because that’s when I started paying serious attention to my skincare starting with following Angie from Hot & Flashy- I use prescription strength retin A ; Timeless Vitamin C and I pay attention to ingredients now thanks to people like you and Lauren from Honest Beauty and Elle Leary and Penn Smith - just to name a few of my skincare heroes 🥰. I get a bit of Botox in my forehead, around my eyes and my lip lines a few times a year but mainly I attribute most of my results to skincare- I’m a bit obsessed lol. This product intrigues me - thank you so much for sharing! You’re lovely to listen to! Have a beautiful weekend 💕🌻😎 Xo Tammy Roy🇨🇦
Thank you so much for sharing that Tammy! I love hearing stories like that and I agree with you, I think skincare is the best. And nothing wrong with a little botox either but yes skincare makes the biggest difference. Because think about it, someone can skip skincare and just get fillers or botox...yet their skin can still look terrible. So skincare and especially SPF is the trick. You should have taken before and after photos. I always think of that after the fact. Haha! Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!
I just received my Truth Treatment 5% Retinol gel. I love the cute little spoon that came with it. Question, on the days that you don't use this do you still use other Retin A products? Do you moisturize over the Truth Treatment? I'm trying to work out my skin care routine. Thank you!
Hi Alexis, I sometimes use my Osmosis Renew (it's a retinal) a couple other nights but I've now managed to use this 2 nights a week. And for me, no I don't use a moisturizer over top. But you surely can. A lot of people swear by the Truth Treatment Systems Omega Balm over top, but I've personally never tried it since I have more oily skin. On nights I use this, I just oil cleanse then use a face cleanser. Then I either use a hydrating toner or hydrating essence or I use my Osmosis Stemfactor Growth Factor Serum and then I put this retinol gel on (mixed with a few sprays of the Biometric Mineral mist) Oh I do use an eye cream over this. Just not a face moisturizer. And then for the next few days after I use this, I beef up on my hydrating essences and serums so I don't get dry and peel too much. And you MUST use a daily sunscreen or this product will not work. Sunscreen is a must with retinols. I'm sure you already know that but just making sure you protect that beautiful skin. Hope that helps 💜
You look amazing and gorgeous! I just started after many years of procrastinating. But i feel really good about it. I’ll be 47 and hopefully by 50 I’ll look refreshed or at least 47 lol. 🙏🏼
That's wonderful. It's never too late. Be patient though and give your skin I'd say a solid 6 months to see real results. Start with a low dose of whatever retinol or retinoid you decide to try and work your way up. If you ever get irritation, immediately back off the product till irritation goes away. And of course always use an SPF daily, rain or shine, indoors or outdoors...That is really the trick. Who knew SPF was that magical over time. Wishing you all the best! Take before and after pics! 💜
I’ve been using the 1% twice a week and I love it so I ordered the 5%. I used it for the first time last week, buffering it with my moisturizer, and boy did I peel! I think I’ll stick with the 1% and use the 5% maybe once a month. Amazing products though.
Hello beautiful lady! I am 22 and been using retinol for years but want to up it to this. I just bought the 1%! Then after it is done I will buy the 5%. I was using Tret but left my face red and sore and flakey :( too much for my sensitive skin! I rather use this as it has the same benefits, maybe not as fast but long term looks amazing!
I just started a week ago with Kiehls Skin Renewing Micro dose retinol serum as a prevention measure.I will be increasing the strength gradually. I m 25 now and I m already looking forward to hopefully look as good as you in 20 years :))❤
Aww~Such an adorable little girl you were and still beyond beautiful, both INSIDE and OUT💖☺:) You are positively GLOWing, as usual... THX for sharing this most amazing product with us, and it is one I will definitely be trying since the usual Retin-A leaves my very sensitive skin burning hot for quite a while😡:( BLESSings for a wonderfully fun and safe Summertime with the Hubby🙏!!
Just watched your video on osmosis skin care.… You do seem to find what seems to be the best treatment.… Do you use one over the other? Both? And you have such a wonderful and lovely demeanor.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing this with us. 1 question, can I use this as a beginner to retinol? Or do I have to use something more mild to get my skin used to it first?
Hi Kimberly the 1% is meant for beginners or those with sensitive skin. But I wouldn't try the 5% until you've used the 1% if you're new. And of course always ask your Dr to be safe. I'm only going off of my personal experience and what the company recommends on their website. Hope that helps. 💜
I just ordered the Truth treatment products (definitely starting with the 1% retinol:). I'll let you know how they turn out. Thank you for the discount code. I saved almost $40!
God I love you and your honestly. Best content. I too quit RA and stick to retinol which is proven to be more effective for anti-aging due to it be non acidic. RA was never meant to be used long term but has a cult following. The cell absorbs and prefer retinol vs RA and dumbs most RA it tries to convert.
Oh my goodness! You're so dang smart! Ok borderline a genius! 😘 I shoulda asked you for your opinion before I did this video. You always have the best info! Thank you thank you thank you for that info. I never even knew that. Now it makes sense why I love this retinol even better. 😘😘😘
This is scientifically inaccurate. I recommend you watch dermatologist Dr Dray’s videos for reliable explanations of how retinoic acid works in the skin.
Vagary I flip back and forth between the two. My mother is 73 and has been using Retin-A since her late thirties and doesn’t have any wrinkles or hyperpigmentation despite working outside in the garden a lot and sunbathing in the summers. She is also fair and blonde and her mother didn’t age as well and they didn’t have Retin a then. It does work but she did have some redness and peeling along the way. Overall her skin glowed. When I get too irritated with it I flip over to a gentler retinol or just lay off Retin a and take breaks. Maybe different strokes for different folks but I’ve been using it since my 20’s and don’t have any wrinkles despite sunbathing as well. Hmm 🤔
You are absolutely gorgeous! Especially with minimal makeup! I can't use multiple products for financial reasons so what would you suggest is the most important product to begin with. I am 61 years old with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. I have taken really good care of my skin and have been told that I do not look my age. But I want to take it to the next level with results I can see. So I was just wondering because I lo e your plump dewy skin! Just beautiful! Thank you🌞

Hi Terry, if you follow me on Instagram I have a ton of super up close photos of my face. Sorry about the lighting in this video. I know it was so darn bright that day and I'm not able to film with studio lights because for some reason that fake light hurts my eyes and can trigger migraines so I have to work off of natural sunlight. But I do post often on Instagram and you can even see my pores LOL, that's how close I am in the photos. Those photos there on Instagram are much better than how my skin looks in this video. Hope that helps.
Hey Terry Sorry I forgot to give you my Instagram, here it is and if you don't already have an account you can still see my up close photos here instagram.com/gracefulbeautywithsheri/?hl=en
I used full strength tretinoin and the complete Obagi system in my 40s before developing rosacea. Now at 52, I barely tolerate a low percentage 3 times a week. I think I’ll give the low percentage formula of this a go. Start off once or twice a week and see what happens. 😉 Your bare skin is so beautiful. That’s a true testament to what good skin care and discipline can achieve!
Thanks Lori. I'm also sitting in front of a bright sunny window so you know the sun always makes things look better. LOL I hope you love this. Yes definitely start with the lowest. A lot of people with sensitive skin rave over the Truth Treatment Systems Omega 6 Cream after they apply the retinol so it's a lot more gentle and easy to tolerate. I haven't tried it though so I'm not sure but I know it's super popular.
Thanks Sheri, I’ve loved all your videos, I’ve been using .05 retin A for about 4 years every other day and I love what it’s done for my skin! I’m 57 and I don’t have any wrinkles, I do quite a few other things like nuface and I’ve been using red light every morning and wow my skin is so bright and flawless,anyway I’m a little nervous to try this retinol but I pulled the trigger and ordered it plus the mist! Fingers crossed I have no reaction and I’ll love it as much as you do, I might use my retin A a couple nights a week in addition to the retinol, I use the timeless vitamin C in the mornings which I’ll will keep using even though you say vitamin C is in the retinol, change is good sometimes!
Awesome video . So glad you switched . Personally switching for years of RetA my skin is sooooooo much better . RetA destroyed my skin plus like you said the nasty ingredients. My bottle lasted over a year . Awesome video !
Hi Sherri, no thank Goodness I did not put it on my eyelids but I did put it on the side of my eyes. From like the corner out. There were no real instructions there. I was born with great ski and I’m 67 and I think I still have decent skin but of course I have lines now. I just thought it would better. Anyway thanks for your support and I just put regular olive oil on it and it did not burn at all. My face looks like a shriveled olive. I’m trying to have a good day. You’re a beautiful person and very caring. I’m going to try to get in touch with the company. I can exchange it possibly. Thank you!!❤️
If it isn't tretinoin, it's not worth it. I foolishly purchased otc retinol. It was useless. Retin-A/tret has changed my entire face, after just 8 months. My opinion. I'm sticking to it.
I agree, most OTC retinols are useless...hence the reason I refused to try this for so long... even though all my subscribers raved about it. LOL Yes I saw amazing results with retin-a too. But after 20 yrs of using it, the results are not the same using retin-a long term. I may use it again someday but the results I'm getting with this is blowing my RX outa the water. But your so new with retin-a so I agree, keep using what's working for ya. 😘 If it ain't broke...
Yes but this is a Medical Grade 5% Retinol. I am sure you got a cheap one and a lot otc are useless. Tret is great but so many people have said this is as good so 🤷♀️
@@rebeccag4798 hey Rebecca! I use the 0.05%. I would recommend to start at the 0.025% around the eyes for the first few months. And remember that some people can't tolerate it under the eyes at all. I'm wishing you lots of luck on your tretinoin journey! It really is a great product 💕🦋
Because of your video and some research I ordered the 1% retinol (new user), C serum, and healing balm. As far as immediate results, the serum and balm were unbelievable- I couldn’t stop looking at my skin the next morning. I suffer from melasma as well, and my skin was more even after 1 night of use, and just calm looking. I’m sold! I know the retinol will also be fabulous but understand it does take longer. I have used twice, 7 days apart, and had just a bit of flaking after 5 days each time. That’s it! Definitely brings the glow back to my 42 yr. old face 😁. So glad you shared this line!
Wow! So awesome to hear that. I know a lot of people were skeptical but I get the same results you described too!!! So glad to hear you love it too! It really has changed my skin too. 💜 Thank you for sharing!
@@Pakistankikhana hi I bought it from the actual truth website delivery was really quick. Yes it's great for Asian skin in my opinion. My skin has transformed.
Just want to say how wonderful you are to answer so many questions! I love this formula... truly an amazing find. My girlfriends are asking me what I’m doing that is different. I’m now hooked on your channel and I appreciate how honest you are with the whole sponsored thing. I’ve sent several of my friends here so that they can order with your discount code. Also, even though I’m higher in age than you, I appreciate all of your recommendations!😁
Thank you for introducing this miracle brand of skin care products! I’m new to skin care and these products from truth treatment systems have done a miracle on my acne scars !!! Using the 5% retinol, the vitamin C serum , mist, and healing cream . Amazing even if pricey / absolutely worth the money. Anything else you can recommend for acne scaring be greatly appreciated . Love your videos! Men do watch too
Hope you love it too Alex. I actually bumped up my nights of using it this week and I am so excited. I'm loving these results. Yes that code definitely helps. It's so pricey. But it last s a super long time.
Well your skin looks amazing so I had to buy the big one. Used your code. Can't wait to try it. I have used over the counter retinols and they are just ok. Prescription ones are so expensive. At 58 I have have good skin as I am oily, and have become a skin care junkie for fine lines around my eyes and have always had hooded eyes. Do you apply this on your eyelids??
I'm almost out of my prescription tretinoin, so I'm going to try Truth instead of dealing with trying to get a new prescription. Can't wait to try it! What do you use on the nights you aren't using this?
Hey Linda. I use any of my other serums, like maybe an AHA or BHA serum or I may layer something like Niacinamide then Azelaic or I just use my Osmosis Stemfactor which is a growth factor serum and then the Osmosis Catalyst AC 11. Just different things, depending on what my skin seems to need that night. And I use lots of hydrating products too. Hope that helps.
@@shellieperreault6262 Yes and I LOVE it along with Truth Treatment C serum and balm. I use the 5% retinol every Sunday evening, C serum every A.M. and C balm the other 6 nights. When they say it just takes a small amount, they weren't exaggerating, so though the initial investment may seem expensive, it will probably turn out to be a much better value than other skin care lines. Plus, this one visibly shows results. No guessing and hoping it's doing something. Blessings!
@@lindae2016 Hi Linda, thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask your skin type and age please? Just curious to see if I may get similar results to you if we have similar skin type. I'm 27 and have acne prone skin (which can be on the oily side but have found that tretinoin use has helped to manage my sebum production).
Your skin is gorgeous!!! I love retinol too and have used it for a year now. What a difference. I always had grata skin but the TEXTURE and reduced wrinkles is off the charts using Retinol. I'm much older than you at 60 but most think I'm late 40s to age 50. Question: Where do you find 5% retinol??? Most i can find is 2%.
Haha! You are definitely the medical grade skincare queen and I learn so much from you! And thank you so much for being so generous and offering the free fancy spoon with full size orders and my code!
Hi Sheri, thanks for the video. Now that you’ve been using 5% retinol gel for awhile, do you still like it as well? I’ve been using retin-a for a couple years now and feel it may be a bit harsh for a 70+ skin. Do you think this retinol gel may be a good substitute for me?
I hear the C Balm is their top seller. I haven't tried it yet but I'm obsessed with the C serum too. But I also have more normal/oily skin & acne prone. I'm sure if you have normal/dry skin the C balm would be best. Oh they are also offerning the $20 spoon for free with the full size purchase of the C Balm too with my discount code. Just in case you would rather get that instead of the retinol gel. Let me know how you like them 💜
I have the truth treatments 5% retinol and I agree it is very potent. I have also used Retin-A and retinols for many many years. The only issue I have is that it is almost too strong for my skin so I have started using just a tiny amount and I’m going to keep trying to experiment with it but yes it’s good stuff! Do you still recommend the vitamin C serum from Truth treatments? I haven’t tried any of the other products. Thanks!
I can't believe you're 48. You look like you're around 29-31. You're beautiful, and so is your skin. Your speaking voice is very soothing, and i love the positive energy that you radiate when you smile. I've been very interested in watching a lot of Retinoid-related videos, and i'm happy to see people's good experiences with using different types of Retinoids. Personally, i've been incorporating Adapalene for a few days now, and i have nothing bad to say about it. I know it's inconvenient for Americans to always ask for a prescription to buy a Tretinoin cream/gel. Luckily, we can get Tretinoin in every pharmacy without prescription in my country, and they're super cheap. A 0.025% Tretinoin cream is only $2 here, and a 0.1% is only $4.
Thank you. Yes I can't believe how affordable tretinoin is in other countries...and convenient to buy. Last time I was in Spain I bought a few at the pharmacy for super cheap.
I'm 25 & people often mistake me for 19, even a doctor had told me "oh I thought you were 20" so I started using tretinoin in November of 2022 so I am about 3 months in....I want to try to preserve my youthful appearance & get rid of my hyperpigmentation/cystic acne! lets hope it works...i think i have finished the purging phase, when i first started i was getting alot of cystic acne but its reduced, i only peel now :)
Actually this one I'm using is $84.00 (still pricey but definitely worth the money). Then the other 2 products I shared in this video are $9.00 and $15.00 But yes I always try to share products that meet everyone's budget. I never want to leave anyone out 😍
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Which product was 84 dollars? So you don't use the 5 percent one right now (if your answer is still valid 8 months later)? Just curious to make my own purchase without having to spend too much money. Thanks for sharing all this information.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Hello Graceful Beauty.....I love your talk about this new product, however, I'm wondering about the practicality of buying an over the counter retinol couple with a vitamin C in a gel formula and paying such a high price for it. Seriously, I can buy a gel that's a hyaluronic acid with retinol (Neutrogena Wrinkle Rapid Repair, add Vitamin C on top, and voila! - I have the same as your Truth product but a whole lot cheaper. Please tell me what is the difference if there's any. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Would much appreciate your answer. Janice
How much better is the mineral mist compared to other mists such as the nod dismutase? I have the NIOD mist and the Osmosis mists and wondering if they would be OK to use w/ this gel instead of purchasing another very expensive mist. Look so forward to your videos Sheri!
Hi Juanita. For me, NOTHING has compared to the NIOD SOD mist. And I really don't think we must use the Osmosis or TT mists with their products. Honestly when I run out of them, I just use my Niod with it or even my Avene Thermal Spring Water seems to work well with it. I think it's mainly to help it spread better and for better penetration. Although the TT mist is a mineral mist and has antioxidants but it doesn't feel as hydrating as the Niod Sod mist. I really enjoy all of them and will continue to use all of them, but if I had to choose just one, then definitely Niod. Hope that helps. And hope you had a beautiful weekend!
So excited just bought a sample kit of Truth Treatments from the only supplier I could find in the UK! Has the 1% retinol, the mist, spoon and 3 other products to try 😀🤞 Thanks for the recommendation, if my skin looks half as amazing as yours after using this I’ll be happy 😘
Oh I’m getting this! Perfect timing as I’m almost out of my Retin A! How are you this gorgeous with no makeup??? How? I meannnn. 😍😍😍 Love you sweet friend! 🤗😘
Oh my goodness Karen! I'm going to have to stop sharing my skincare because your husband is going to blame me for you having too much skincare! Haha! But I bet you will LOVE this! I can't believe I waited so long to try it. Let me know how it works for you!
I find it hard to believe you suddenly stopped using Retin A after 20 years for a retinol product. Just my opinion.... Nonetheless, your skin is beautiful....
Hey there! I was hesitant to try this retinol for the longest time because I had always thought retin-a was always better. But since I do test products, I actually stopped the retin-a mainly to properly test this product. But then with the amazing results I've gotten from this (which isn't just a retinol. BTW...it has a TON of THD Ascorbate and the combo of these ingredients makes this so much more potent and go deeper in the skin) I haven't missed my RX retin-a one bit. Oh also you can use your retin-a still on off nights but I personally would not since I use the 5% retinol. My face would fall off. But many people do still use there retin-a and use the 1% as a treatment on the off nights. Hope that helps clarify.
I just purchased the 30ML Retinol Gel. I really hope it works as I just spent my allowance on the product. Currently I am using Paula's Choice 5% Retinol and appears to be working but not as amazing as the product you videoed. Thank you for the discount code!
I hope you love it too. I absolutely love all of Paula's Choice retinols but for me this one is much better and more potent. Make sure you wear your sunscreen daily. Oh and if you got the 30ml with my code, they will send you a free $20 spatula in your package. It's a fancy little spoon too. Let me know how it works for you! 💜
No ma'am I never do sponsored videos and I never will. I even did a video about why I won't do them and I got a lot of crap from a couple other mature beauty youtubers wanting me to take that video down. Whatever I share on my channel is always stuff I actually use. I also share stuff I don't like but I share the crappy products in my empties videos. Whenever I have a discount code and an affiliate link, it is usually a referral link and I do get a small commission if you order through my links but anyone can use referral links on their websites. Sponsorships are a whole other ballgame...where the company or brand actually pays you money to share their product. Often times those companies also give you a script or a list of things you must say and then they often have to approve your video before you can upload it. I'm not interested in someone telling me what to say and especially because that doesn't seem honest to me. But I also don't do UA-cam as a job. It's just a hobby for me but one I'm passionate about. Hope that clarifies for ya. 😘
I love your videos and they are very informative! I do however have a question....I have tried a few products and seen very little difference around my eyes, puffiness and crows feet. What do you recommend? Thank you.
Isn't the "firmness" of the skin to do more with underlying fat/muscles than anything applied topically? If the fat/muscle sags, the skin will sag I don't believe retin a can save that!
Great point! Retinol or retinoids build collagen to help reduce the wrinkles. It doesn't do anything to underlying fat and muscle. I definitely have enough fat in my face since the lock down so maybe that's why it's gotten so firm. Haha! 🤪
Hi.I'm so glad you decided to try this product and review it. I'm a small UA-camr and have been watching you for a long time. Your skin.. is the best of all UA-cam. I use everything except retinA because I don't want to peel. Do most people peel with this product???
Thank you Laurie. How kind of you! Yes many people peel but not the irritation like they get with retin-a. I don't peel when I use only once a week but every now and then if I'm not going anywhere for a couple days, I want the peel to happen so I will use it more often in the week to get a good peel in. It takes about 4 -5 days after using it for the peeling to start. So I schedule it properly. But I never get red or irritated like I did with retin-a. The skin just kinda peels off like snake skin. It's pretty cool and the skin underneath is baby fresh healthy skin. Hope that helps!😘
Hi, Sherry, new sub here! Your skin is gorgeous! I’ve ordered the 1% retinol for now and the vitamin C serum too because of your video. Rather than using the current promo I used your code as you are a wonderful example for the company and you deserve the credit. So glad I found you and this new line of products.
I just got my retinol 5% gel and came to see the review and saw the discount code here. Really sad. Is there any way they can adjust my price? It’s really a good deal with your discount.
Hope you love it. Oh bummer you didn't get it with my discount. You'd have to contact the company but I don't think they would after the fact. But I also have a code for 22% off makeup if you ever need that. And for 25% off other skincare. I've tried to get discount codes for almost every store I online shop at so if you are ever wanting to buy something, let me know and will see if I have a code for ya. 💜
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri u think. Retinol Works diferent . when you aply before o after hidratation ? How do you aply ur retinol at night??? Hope ur answer...
There’s a dermatologist on UA-cam who says you should not use retin-a with vitamin c, that retins should be used at night, and vitamin c in the morning after using a pH balanced cleanser.
This is already formulated properly with a different form of Vit C and retjnol. It's not the L ascorbic type of Vit C that Drs are referring to. But I do prefer using a separate C serum in the morning under my sunscreen and this at night. I also use a separate Vit C at night some nights too. But she is referring to people who are mixing stuff on their own and playing "chemist" LOL in their bathroom...then there can be a greater chance of rritation when things aren't mixed properly. When something is already formulated with a mixture of ingredients, that's fine and this form of Vit c is THD ascorbate...totally different type of Vit C than the one most Drs are referring to not to be mixed with rerinol. And if you ever do mix L ascorbic with retinol, on your own,, it's not really terrible BUT you may experience alot of irritation so it defeats the point so best to just use separately.. So yes, in general if using your serums separately...C in morning, retinol at night. Hope that helps. 😘
Great video. I thought the same thing about trying this product because I use Retin A. I think I’m going to give this a try. Do you also use their vitamin C? I’ve heard good things about that product too.
Hi Mary, Yes I LOVE their Transdermal C serum too. I haven't tried their C balm but many people rave about that one too. I think the C balm is best for dry skin. And if you haven't tried their new sheet masks...they are so luxurious. My skin looked like I stepped out of a facial when I was tried them last week...super glowy and hydrated. Make sure if you try their Retinol gel, you start with the 1% if you aren't already using a higher strength retin -a and work your way up to the 5%. Unless your skin already easily tolerates retin-a. And ONLY use a pea size not more than every 10 days. I've worked up to using mine 2-3 nights a week but I don't want you to peel or get irritated. And many people continue to use their retin-a bit they use the TT retinol gel every 10 day as a treatment (not on the same night as retin-a tho). Let me know how it works for you. 💜
Wow! That product is super pricey 😬 How many times a week do you use it? You don’t apply any moisturizer after you apply the product? I know you mentioned you mix the gel with the spray. Do you also apply it on the eyelids? I currently use Retin-A .5% 3 times a week, but I don’t apply it to my eyelids.
Hi Vanessa, I personally don't use a moisturizer with it because I don't need one but you could use one after you apply it if needed. I never put product on my eye lids but I do on my brow bone and a smidge below. I shared 2 affordable products at the end of the video if interested in something not so pricey. It is an investment for sure. But it does last a super long time so in the long run you save... but up front it's a lot 😳 Hope that helps answer your question. 💜
Graceful Beauty Great! Thank you! I don’t mind spending the money, just as long as it works. I’m going to think about it. I think the most I have spent on a skincare product is $140. Decisions decisions
Thanks for the info. I just bought the gel. I also use prescription retinol and like the results but I feel like it stopped working or my skin got used to it. Hoping this will give it a boost.
Yes that's what seemed to happen to me after all the years of using retin-a. This definitely gives it a boost. A SUPER Boost! LOL Just don't use on the same night. But I hope you love it too!💜
This isn't the type of Vit C in most products. This is a stable Vit C that is my all time favorite called THD Ascorbate. But the way everything is formulated supposedly stays stable for years. I'd still prefer not to have it in a jar.
I have the c balm and it is $200 I will absolutely spend again. OMG, is the BEST lip balm ever. My lips would hurt so happy when I got my retin a on them and nothing helped soothe them. This makes them feel better immediately and nearly healed over night. I am trying the retinol on your recommendation and trying another as well. Wish I waited a minute to find out you had a code.
Bought it, used your discount, used the gel 5%, love it, I use it every 3 days. I’m coming off of .1% Retin-A as well. I love this, never going back. Will repurchase. Thanks for this tip.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri I picked up the Revlon prep and protect based on your review as well, love that product too. It has SPF but I spend very little time in the sun, very little. I have this natural tan thing I was born with !!
Omg it’s just one long sales pitch. Please continue using your prescriptions people she’s affiliated with the brand and gets a percentage of your money when you use her code.
Nope, not affiliated with the brand at all. They don't know who I am. My discount code is at the amazing online skincare store called Skin Beautiful RX and the code is good for every product they sell. But thanks for your comment anyways even though you are incorrect...and I'm assuming you've never tried this product. Keep using what you're using if that's what works well for you. This is just what works great for my skin....and a TON of others. Feel free to read comments to hear what others have to say about this fabulous product. I bet you would love it too if you tried it. And you can still use your prescription on nights you don't use this.
@Jenathen T: I agree. Last month it was Niod Superoxide Dimutase Mist to try before getting botox. Come on... it may be that the product is great, but never that price. In addition, some of the enthusiastic users are already using the prescription Retin-a again in parallel (just to be on the safe side, if it doesn't work miracles ;-)), although the product is a new Holy Grail. Above all, a long-term assessment of the product is never possible with this method.
Sherri I cannot get over how stunning you are !! You are literally glowing , wow 😮 And I’ve got a question . Will the routine for dark spots work for freckles as well ? On some parts of my face , it looks like I had glitter (brown glitter that is ) thrown on my face . I’ve been using most of the ingredients you’ve covered since about May of 2019 but I’ve seen almost no reduction of my brown spots at all , only a general “glow “ sort of . I do not want to use hydroquinone but I am interested in trying this retinol . I am religious about putting on sunscreen , always have been and still get brown spots and hyperpigmentation . I wonder if the ruddiness I’ve had all my life contributes to the formation of spots since I understand that heat will make it worse because my face can get hot easily . Do you think I should try retinol to help with my brown spots and hyperpigmentation ?
Be careful with that, that product from TO gave me a horrible breakout I still can’t bring myself to try any of their other products because of that experience
Yep. I bought this one too. Lol. I actually ended up buying the NIOD product that you talked about in your last video and I enjoy it very much. However, I’m certain that this product will yield MUCH greater results. Thanks for the info and the discount!!!!
Oh my goodness, I literally was spraying my Niod on as I opened my computer to read comments! LOL Oh yes this retinol gel is so much more intense. Different ingredients/products but both are wonderful.
Graceful Beauty Lol...that’s funny. I’ve been using retinol from Sunday Riley and a couple of other products, so I bought the 5 percent instead of the 1. I hope it works out! Thanks again and take care!!!
your skin looks so glowing... retinol products are very good for your skin but sometimes it makes your skin sensitive and drying so i use kumkumadi tailum from the planet ayurveda. It does wonders to the skin
Hi lovely!! This sounds amazing! Forgive me if you said this but do you still use tretinoin or retinols the rest of the week or you’re just using this now? And omg I didn’t know tretinoin had other ingredients that are bad! Thank you love! This was great!!
Hey beautiful! Oh darn, I forgot to specify that. I'm so sorry about that. No I have completely stopped my RX but I sometimes use the Osmosis Renew Vit A Serum or the Revision Skincare retinol one other time during the week at night. But for the most part, I am just using this 5% retinol once a week...very rarely I will use it twice a week because it's so potent and will make me peel if used too often. Although I'm ok with peeling but not irritation and I never get irritation with this. I know I never even thought to look at the actual other ingredients in the RX and they are not good at all. 😱
@@Kathrynh246 oh I just found out from SkinBeautifulRX that YES you can use your retin-a 6 nights a week and the Truth Treatments on night 7. I personally wouldn't unless I use the 1% Truth Treatments but Leah also said her clients will also use the Osmosis retinal during the day (since it's ok to use that type during the day) and the TT at night. But just start super slow so your face doesn't fall off. You know how we love testing all this out. I'm gonna bump my days up even more now and see what happens. 😳
Hi Sheri, I’ve watched this last year and wanted to watch it again as I just watched your Tutorial skincare routine using TT 5% gel. I think I’ve left u a comment on the other video; but just in case LOL I finally ordered the TT 1% gel and the 100ml bottle of Miometic mist. Also using Growth factors as well as DNA YOUTH RECOVERY SERUM. This is my 2nd eve of applying the TT 1% gel and loving it. Anxious to see results. I’m at the point where I do not see any results with the Timeless 20% l-as oscorbic acid so I’m glad I watched this again as I was getting ready to order the TT C Balm. Just really need to up my skincare at now 61. I did order my 1% gel thru freezeco Beauty as I got it about 25.00 cheaper. Think I am going to order TT deluxe sample box since it has both Vit C serum and balm. I’m sure I am going to love it. I don’t know. Will see in a few. Thank you once again for your amazing tutorials/videos. Would you consider doing a skincare routine using all TT treatments? That would be awesome. May God continue to bless you always and in your travels. Continue having fun. Lots of love and prayers Karla
I just ordered it. I’m excited to try after seeing your video. I’m asian and have combination skin, and will be turning 40 this year 😢. I’m starting to see a big change in my skin and wrinkles are creeping in on my forehead. I hope this can help me.
I am so happy you are talking about truth Treatments!... I am 63 yo and have used so many brands... almost all... lol... once I started using Truth Treatments, it changed everything!... I will never look back and use anything else!!!!.. glad you love it!!!!💜💜💜💜💜Great video!
Honestly I haven't watched one of your videos in probably 6 months and I notice a huge difference. I wonder if that would help with 60 year old skin? I don't have any wrinkles but I do have sagging at the jowls and neck. Just a few fine lines around the eyes and very even skin tone. Genetics but I still want some change without surgery. You look really really awesome
Thank you! I know the change is from all these products because I'm still eating pizza and burgers! haha! I think the retinol gel would be great for any age, especially 60. I noticed a big difference in my jowls that were trying to form but this helps keep everything firm. You are so blessed to have even skin tone. That's my biggest struggle but it's gotten so much better. If you do try it, let me know how it goes.
I have been using the Truth treatment 5% retinol gel twice a week and i would usually get skin peeling 2 days later. Is that a normal reaction? So far, i love how my skin feels and looks especially after i get Hydrafacial to suction all the dead skin cells and other gunk in my face. Thank you for your vlog about this product.

I’m being using the products for less than a week and I’m peeling I little bit. But I’m used to that...
SO excited to hear your results! Take before and after pics. You can tag me on Instagram too. Don't forget to use your SPF daily or this will not work and you won't see the benefits. I plum forgot to stress the importance of using daily SPF and reapplying if using something potent like this retinol gel. 😘
Bought!! You use this stated 1-2x week. Do you use your Rx retinol on days that you don’t use this or ONLY this now? And it’s used only at night, right? Thanks!! Xoxo
@@chrys_. Hey there! I don't use my Rx at all anymore. BUT you still can if you want to and just use this once or twice a week at night...only on a night you aren't using another retinol or Rx retin-a. Hope that helps. 💜
Marian
I tend to have sensitive skin and would like to try retinol creams
I am 66 years old my skin isn’t too bad for my age
but I would like to know what strength to use to start with I want to order the creams but would it be ok to use them as a first
When she said,“I‘m 47 years old“...I almost spilled my coffee!!!! Honestly...WOW!!!!
Awww shucks, you're too kind. But I am sitting in front of a bright window so the sun makes me look better than I really am. LOL But thank you! 😘
I fell off the toilet
She looks older, sorry.
@@leesteal4458 you seem so nice 🤣🤣🤣
Has skin better than mine and I am 19 yrs younger.
So I ordered this product immediately when you first posted this video, received it within days and started using it immediately. I’ve only been able to use it about every 10 days due to micro-peeling - so a total of 6 times now. I can’t say I’ve seen huge improvement of wrinkles, but that’s not really an issue for me. What I’ve seen is firmer skin! This jowls you speak of? Ugh! They’ve been working their way into my life for the past 5 years (I’m 55). They are practically non-existent now. So I wanted to thank you for this video - it has been a game-changer.
Wow!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that! Yes can you believe how firm it makes your skin? I NEVER had results like that with my prescription retin-a! I'm so glad you are having great results too!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Don't forget your daily SPF🌞😘
Hi! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you! I have taken your advice on several products...truth treatment systems retinol, Elta MD spf, Niod super oxide mist and city lips (and I'm waiting on the hair growth shampoo from Amazon ) and omgoodness can I just tell you every single product is amazing and exactly as you described it...you were already my absolute favorite UA-camr and now I am so grateful to you for sharing your amazing beauty tips and advice to us women who may not be as educated or as experienced as you are on the right skin care products. I always say us women should lift each other up instead of bringing each other down and I appreciate you so much for that. You are so beautiful and are just as beautiful inside as you are outside. So I just wanted to send you a genuine Thank you for your wonderful videos and skin care advice! You're the best! 👑❣️✝️🐾
Wow Kimberly! This is awfully kind of you. I love the follow up and letting me know how the products work for you. That really means a lot. And I am so touched but your kind words 😘 Thank YOU!!!! Made my day!
So I bought this after seeing this video. It’s only been a week and I’m shook. My skin hates everything! Ive been using the moisturizer daily and I’ve used the spray and 5% twice and my skin has completely changed! In the best ways possible! Thank you so much for sharing this product!
Wow that's so awesome! That's exactly what I was like after just 2 times using it. I mean I've heard people rave about this for a few years but I honestly didn't believe the hype til I tried it. I absolutely LOVE this product. It reveals beautiful fresh youthful skin. Thank you for sharing your results! Make sure you are wearing spf every single day. Sooo important! You now have that new skin that needs to be protected. 💜
How’s your skin now?
What moisturizer?! I can only find the retin a gel and mist in down bar 🙏🏼
Update??
I used Trentinoin for 10 years and my skin could never get used to it no matter what I tried. I have switched to Adapalene in the past year and I'm very happy with it. I feel like I get the same results, but with much less of the harshness, peeling skin, and burning. And, it's much cheaper for those of us not able to get our insurance to cover it, which is most of us.
Hi Jodie, Yes the Adapalene is lots less irritating and cheaper than the tretinoin.The Acne Free brand is a much better price than the Differin brand too. Insurance typically only pays for tretinoin if it's for acne. Go figure.
I have also switched to adapalene. Zero flaking or irritation but still smoother skin!
Do you feel adapalene helps with anti ageing? I'm using it for acne but don't see any results for my fine lines.
@@MyLoVeLyMaN How old are you? I notice that it helps with my pores, which causes skin discoloration. My skin is more taut with it as well. It will never be as good as trentinoin and if you can adjust to the trent, I encourage that. Long term; however, I do believe the adapalene helps. Remember that trent was an acne medication before it was an anti aging? Both are acne meds and both are vitamin A just a different form. :) Hop that helps.
I thought it was just me. No matter how I use it I cannot get used to it. My dermatologist just told me to switch to Adapalene.
This the first time I have visited your channel. I think you are the epitome of class and grace. You are so kind to respond to so many posts. Although people are entitled to their opinion, there are proper or more positive ways of sharing it (it's all in the way it is said). You are kind enough to give your opinion and results on this product TT with a comparison to others, and subscribers can choose what to do with it. Therefore, don't let the negativity of a few get to you. I was visiting here and loved your mannerism and etiquette; The professionalism you exude has made me a new subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you Karrine. I really appreciate that. I do try to reply to everyone since I am so appreciative you all even take your valuable time to watch my channel. Sometimes I can't get to everyone but I'm so grateful. I'm happy to have you here. Hope you're having a beautiful day 💛
I was using 0.5% tretinoin since the 80s (!) although now I only use it once a week as i felt it was making my skin not look so good. I think is probably due to my age (64). So I am now using the Ordinary 2% retinoid in squalane alternated with the 5% version. I use the tretinoin once a week. My skin looks really good and nobody believes my age. I live in Europe.
Thanks for sharing!! That's awesome!
Rozy, do you use isoface?
No, I don't. Sorry. I haven't got issues
Acne issues I meant
I just ordered the 5% and the mist. I’ve been using retin-a for 4 years and though it’s kept looking youngish for my 43 year old face I’m ready for more. I heard another youtuber say how clinical retinol made a bigger difference then retin-a. I also rotate my retina-a with lactic acid from the ordinary. Your beautiful without makeup so I’m definitely taking your advice!
Hope you love it too and that's great you rotate with lactic. Lactic acid is a favorite of mine. Don't forget your sunscreen. 💜
Did you see any results from the 5%?
Any results??
Your skin looks amazing as usual....❤❤ I started to use the TT 5% back in late February and like you I'm in love with the results. I use 1 sometimes 2 times a wk. I realized a few months into using this product that I hadn't even touched my prescription strength retinol and I was so happy because your correct in the end the cost of the TT will end up saving you money and with better results. So I was able to stop all other retinol/tretinoin except my Osmosis Renew I keep that for in between days because that is also an amazing product. ❤❤
Yes! Love that Dianne. Me too I still use the Renew too. Do you know I just found out we can use Renew during the day? I never know that. It isn't sensitive to light because of how it's formulated. Leah at SBRX just told me that. She said some use it in a.m and TT retinol at night. I may try that.
i’m 29 and i’ve been using neutrogena retinol since i was 18. now i’m on apostrophe tretinoin 0.05% / 4% niacinamide. i get regular laser facials and wear SPF all the time and reapply. i got a tiny bit of filler too and i’m currently working on getting rid of my double chin with kybella lol. i just wanna look like myself for forever 🤓🤗
my nurse said my face is really firm and she could tell i use retin a lolol 😅
48 years old OMG you look so young and beautiful with baby skin. I'm 31 and I never had such a beautiful skin as yours
Thank you Edith, I'm also sitting in front of a bright window so it helps make my skin look better than it really is. LOL If you follow me on Instagram I often share super close up photos so you can see my skin even better.
I bought the 1% after seeing this video and I have to say that I do notice a big difference in my skin. I look glowy and my face seems smooth. The gel feels so good on my face, I don’t even need to put moisturizer on after it. I just go to bed and wake up to fresh skin. Make sure to use your sun screen in the morning (and every morning). I only use this at night before bed.
Are you also using it once a week?
We're the same age, I am really impressed how young you look, you look 10 yrs younger than me. Your skin is beautiful. Alot of hard work and persistence.
Oh thank you! It has greatly improved. I still have more work to do but daily sunscreen is really the BEST advice I can give anyone.
I got the 5% gel about 5 mknths ago. What a difference. My skin looks fabulous and i am almost 60. I started using it 3x week. I got lots of irritatuon putring it in my neck. Love it!!
Hi Sharon! Thanks for sharing!! Oh good to know about the neck. So glad to hear you love it too!😘
You look beyond amazing! Your skin has just changed completely in the past year! Simply gorgeous girlfriend! Love u!🥰
Hey gorgeous friend. I think it's changed so much too. I can't believe it. Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!!! 😘😘😘
@@tylerbistow8 And fillers!
@@aocroissier and a face lift. 🤣
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Im going in for a facelift consult next week. Im sixty and haven't slept taking care of mom for the past four years before she passed. Hope someday I can have it done. Well, that retin A has done a great job!
And the cheeks are also from retinol ?let s be true
I would stick to what works, and the retin a has been working for you for years. I would not change what has given you a youthful look for years.
Yes retin-a a is fabulous. I may eventually start using it again someday and just incorporate this retinol gel every 10 days as a treatment. That's what a lot of people do.
Thank you so much for this! I just ordered! If my skin looks even half as beautiful as yours does I’ll be thrilled! 🥰😘
You have beautiful skin and a beautiful photo!!!💜😘
Dyan Collins any updates please do you like it
Your voice is so soothing and calming ! I could listen to you talk all day !! Thank you for sharing this useful information :)
Wow, thank you!
I’ve been using Retin A for 10 years now. I love it!!!
If you don't mind, how to you incorporate retin A into your routine?I have it, but don't use it often because I'm scared. It's very sunny where I live so I must be careful.
That's awesome. Retin-a is fabulous. I truly think that's what kept so many of my wrinkles away for so many years...well and sunscreen... and having oily skin! 🤪
I just turned 51 last month. Retinol causes my skin to get so dry and actually burns the skin around my nose. You must be so careful as you can get badly sunburned if you don’t use sunscreen too.
I’m using a L’Oréal $8 face cream from Amazon that does the job for me. When I do get into buying products, I love Perricone M.D. As long as you eat healthy, and drink plenty of water. However, at the end of the day, it’s all down to your genetics too! My mother had beautiful skin and didn’t use any fancy products.
Even makeup, I don’t have time to get all dolled up every day. Then you have to spend an hour cleaning it off at bedtime. Thank you for your videos and I’ll subscribe to your channel to see if I can learn something new. Paula 💕
I am loving your product reviews, you are an inspiration to have flawless skin. You are a testimony to persistence and self-care. I will be trying these products and will let you know how I go. Thank you for your review greatly appreciated.
I had done Retin-A since I was 12 believe it or not! I am 56 now and since I was 50, I was on and off this product because of the harshness on my skin the older I get. Really happy to find something new! Thank you! Looking forward to checking out other videos!
Wow Lisa thank you for sharing that. 12 yrs old. Oh my goodness, well then please let us know your results after trying this because I think you will really love this.
I wish I could afford this. $199 is a bit out of my budget range. But thank you for sharing. Always nice to know there are options other than Retin-A. I’ll just stick with my curology for now and maybe I’ll splurge on myself for Christmas. 😉☺️
I have been using the Truth Treatment systems for more than a year. I have used 5% retinol gel along with omega 6 healing cream, transdermal C balm and other products from this line. I have seen a huge difference in my skin. Amazing products
Thank you for sharing. You are beautiful!
You have good genetic. That's make a huge difference. I am the same. When my mother was almost 80 years old and you should see her skin! Sooo beautiful!
Thank you. Yes genetics is a big part for sure. 😃
Genetics have nothing to do with skin elasticity it’s more about lifestyle tbh
@@dydb The women on my mother’s side do absolutely nothing to prevent premature aging (not even spf) and still get mistaken for being much younger than they really are. Genetics play a huge role
@@hueyfreeman8865 you’re just not paying enough attention
I shouldn’t have nothing to do with skin tho
@@dydb How are you gonna try to tell me about my own family that I live with? Melanin keeps us from aging like milk. Denial isn’t a good thing.
Thank goodness a person who's can talk in such an easy manner and don't go on and on informative in a good way
Thank you Geraldine. Trust me, I'm a yapper so thank goodness for editing haha!😘
Now I want to try this! I get my Retin A for so cheap, so I'd definitely be spending more. Do you use any Retin A products during the week when you aren't using this? I have been using the highest dose of Retin A nightly for some time, so it would be a change doing it only once a week, but sounds good. Thanks! :)
Hey Holly, if you decide to try it, I'll bet you will fall in love too. No I don't use my RX at all anymore. I mainly use an AHA or BHA at night now or a Vit C on the nights I'm not using the TT 5% retinol. Once in a blue moon I will use another OTC retinol one night a week. But for the most part this is the only retinol product I now use.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Thank you for letting me know. :)
Y
Sherry your skin is gorgeous!
I just turned 56 and I’m blessed with good skin as a start but in the last 5-6yrs I feel like I’ve turned back the clock a bit because that’s when I started paying serious attention to my skincare starting with following Angie from Hot & Flashy- I use prescription strength retin A ; Timeless Vitamin C and I pay attention to ingredients now thanks to people like you and Lauren from Honest Beauty and Elle Leary and Penn Smith - just to name a few of my skincare heroes 🥰. I get a bit of Botox in my forehead, around my eyes and my lip lines a few times a year but mainly I attribute most of my results to skincare- I’m a bit obsessed lol.
This product intrigues me - thank you so much for sharing! You’re lovely to listen to!
Have a beautiful weekend 💕🌻😎
Xo Tammy Roy🇨🇦
Thank you so much for sharing that Tammy! I love hearing stories like that and I agree with you, I think skincare is the best. And nothing wrong with a little botox either but yes skincare makes the biggest difference. Because think about it, someone can skip skincare and just get fillers or botox...yet their skin can still look terrible. So skincare and especially SPF is the trick. You should have taken before and after photos. I always think of that after the fact. Haha! Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!
I just received my Truth Treatment 5% Retinol gel. I love the cute little spoon that came with it. Question, on the days that you don't use this do you still use other Retin A products? Do you moisturize over the Truth Treatment? I'm trying to work out my skin care routine. Thank you!
Hi Alexis, I sometimes use my Osmosis Renew (it's a retinal) a couple other nights but I've now managed to use this 2 nights a week. And for me, no I don't use a moisturizer over top. But you surely can. A lot of people swear by the Truth Treatment Systems Omega Balm over top, but I've personally never tried it since I have more oily skin. On nights I use this, I just oil cleanse then use a face cleanser. Then I either use a hydrating toner or hydrating essence or I use my Osmosis Stemfactor Growth Factor Serum and then I put this retinol gel on (mixed with a few sprays of the Biometric Mineral mist) Oh I do use an eye cream over this. Just not a face moisturizer. And then for the next few days after I use this, I beef up on my hydrating essences and serums so I don't get dry and peel too much. And you MUST use a daily sunscreen or this product will not work. Sunscreen is a must with retinols. I'm sure you already know that but just making sure you protect that beautiful skin. Hope that helps 💜
You look amazing and gorgeous! I just started after many years of procrastinating. But i feel really good about it. I’ll be 47 and hopefully by 50 I’ll look refreshed or at least 47 lol. 🙏🏼
That's wonderful. It's never too late. Be patient though and give your skin I'd say a solid 6 months to see real results. Start with a low dose of whatever retinol or retinoid you decide to try and work your way up. If you ever get irritation, immediately back off the product till irritation goes away. And of course always use an SPF daily, rain or shine, indoors or outdoors...That is really the trick. Who knew SPF was that magical over time. Wishing you all the best! Take before and after pics! 💜
I’ve been using the 1% twice a week and I love it so I ordered the 5%. I used it for the first time last week, buffering it with my moisturizer, and boy did I peel! I think I’ll stick with the 1% and use the 5% maybe once a month. Amazing products though.
Thanks so much for sharing. That helps others who are reading comments.💜
Slowly gravitate towards the 5% and take ur time with it. Sometimes the strongest percentages can actually cause the worst reactions. Less it more :)
Hello beautiful lady! I am 22 and been using retinol for years but want to up it to this. I just bought the 1%! Then after it is done I will buy the 5%. I was using Tret but left my face red and sore and flakey :( too much for my sensitive skin! I rather use this as it has the same benefits, maybe not as fast but long term looks amazing!
When you said tetrahexydecyl ascorbate I went and checked my vitamin c product and it has that. Yay for me!
what product do you use?
I just started a week ago with Kiehls Skin Renewing Micro dose retinol serum as a prevention measure.I will be increasing the strength gradually. I m 25 now and I m already looking forward to hopefully look as good as you in 20 years :))❤
Aww~Such an adorable little girl you were and still beyond beautiful, both INSIDE and OUT💖☺:) You are positively GLOWing, as usual...
THX for sharing this most amazing product with us, and it is one I will definitely be trying since the usual Retin-A leaves my very sensitive skin burning hot for quite a while😡:(
BLESSings for a wonderfully fun and safe Summertime with the Hubby🙏!!
Thank you so much Holly!! My childhood photos crack me up! 🤣
Just watched your video on osmosis skin care.… You do seem to find what seems to be the best treatment.… Do you use one over the other? Both? And you have such a wonderful and lovely demeanor.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing this with us. 1 question, can I use this as a beginner to retinol? Or do I have to use something more mild to get my skin used to it first?
Hi Kimberly the 1% is meant for beginners or those with sensitive skin. But I wouldn't try the 5% until you've used the 1% if you're new. And of course always ask your Dr to be safe. I'm only going off of my personal experience and what the company recommends on their website. Hope that helps. 💜
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri that helps a lot thank you! ❣️✝️🐾
I just ordered the Truth treatment products (definitely starting with the 1% retinol:). I'll let you know how they turn out. Thank you for the discount code. I saved almost $40!
Yes let me know how you like it. I hope you get great results too!
God I love you and your honestly. Best content. I too quit RA and stick to retinol which is proven to be more effective for anti-aging due to it be non acidic. RA was never meant to be used long term but has a cult following. The cell absorbs and prefer retinol vs RA and dumbs most RA it tries to convert.
Oh my goodness! You're so dang smart! Ok borderline a genius! 😘 I shoulda asked you for your opinion before I did this video. You always have the best info! Thank you thank you thank you for that info. I never even knew that. Now it makes sense why I love this retinol even better. 😘😘😘
This is scientifically inaccurate. I recommend you watch dermatologist Dr Dray’s videos for reliable explanations of how retinoic acid works in the skin.
Vagary I flip back and forth between the two. My mother is 73 and has been using Retin-A since her late thirties and doesn’t have any wrinkles or hyperpigmentation despite working outside in the garden a lot and sunbathing in the summers. She is also fair and blonde and her mother didn’t age as well and they didn’t have Retin a then. It does work but she did have some redness and peeling along the way. Overall her skin glowed. When I get too irritated with it I flip over to a gentler retinol or just lay off Retin a and take breaks. Maybe different strokes for different folks but I’ve been using it since my 20’s and don’t have any wrinkles despite sunbathing as well. Hmm 🤔
You are absolutely gorgeous! Especially with minimal makeup! I can't use multiple products for financial reasons so what would you suggest is the most important product to begin with. I am 61 years old with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. I have taken really good care of my skin and have been told that I do not look my age. But I want to take it to the next level with results I can see. So I was just wondering because I lo e your plump dewy skin! Just beautiful! Thank you🌞

The bright light from the window prevents me from seeing your skin. Would you show some before and after pictures please. :)
Hi Terry, if you follow me on Instagram I have a ton of super up close photos of my face. Sorry about the lighting in this video. I know it was so darn bright that day and I'm not able to film with studio lights because for some reason that fake light hurts my eyes and can trigger migraines so I have to work off of natural sunlight. But I do post often on Instagram and you can even see my pores LOL, that's how close I am in the photos. Those photos there on Instagram are much better than how my skin looks in this video. Hope that helps.
Hey Terry Sorry I forgot to give you my Instagram, here it is and if you don't already have an account you can still see my up close photos here instagram.com/gracefulbeautywithsheri/?hl=en
I used full strength tretinoin and the complete Obagi system in my 40s before developing rosacea. Now at 52, I barely tolerate a low percentage 3 times a week. I think I’ll give the low percentage formula of this a go. Start off once or twice a week and see what happens. 😉 Your bare skin is so beautiful. That’s a true testament to what good skin care and discipline can achieve!
Thanks Lori. I'm also sitting in front of a bright sunny window so you know the sun always makes things look better. LOL I hope you love this. Yes definitely start with the lowest. A lot of people with sensitive skin rave over the Truth Treatment Systems Omega 6 Cream after they apply the retinol so it's a lot more gentle and easy to tolerate. I haven't tried it though so I'm not sure but I know it's super popular.
Thanks Sheri, I’ve loved all your videos, I’ve been using .05 retin A for about 4 years every other day and I love what it’s done for my skin! I’m 57 and I don’t have any wrinkles, I do quite a few other things like nuface and I’ve been using red light every morning and wow my skin is so bright and flawless,anyway I’m a little nervous to try this retinol but I pulled the trigger and ordered it plus the mist! Fingers crossed I have no reaction and I’ll love it as much as you do, I might use my retin A a couple nights a week in addition to the retinol, I use the timeless vitamin C in the mornings which I’ll will keep using even though you say vitamin C is in the retinol, change is good sometimes!
Hope you love it too. Sounds like you have a fabulous skincare routine. Don't forget to wear SPF daily to keep that beautiful skin 🌞😘
Would love if you share your thoughts later on this comment🥰
Did you like it? Any results?
@@aissa431 I never really got used to it, my skin just wasn’t happy with it, so I’m back to my .05 tretenoin
@@BeckyCantu I’m back to my tretenion, my skin just wasn’t as good on the the retinol as it is on the Retin A
Awesome video . So glad you switched . Personally switching for years of RetA my skin is sooooooo much better . RetA destroyed my skin plus like you said the nasty ingredients. My bottle lasted over a year . Awesome video !
Thanks for sharing that Marie!! Yes it does seem to last a super long time.
Your skin in absolutely glowing! :)
Oh thank you! So kind of you! But I am sitting in front of a big sunny window (with lots of SPF on of course), so that helps LOL
Thanks for your explanation regarding using retinol with a particular vitamin C.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri what is the name of creme people
Hi Sherri, no thank Goodness I did not put it on my eyelids but I did put it on the side of my eyes. From like the corner out. There were no real instructions there. I was born with great ski and I’m 67 and I think I still have decent skin but of course I have lines now. I just thought it would better. Anyway thanks for your support and I just put regular olive oil on it and it did not burn at all. My face looks like a shriveled olive. I’m trying to have a good day. You’re a beautiful person and very caring. I’m going to try to get in touch with the company. I can exchange it possibly. Thank you!!❤️
If it isn't tretinoin, it's not worth it. I foolishly purchased otc retinol. It was useless.
Retin-A/tret has changed my entire face, after just 8 months.
My opinion. I'm sticking to it.
I agree, most OTC retinols are useless...hence the reason I refused to try this for so long... even though all my subscribers raved about it. LOL Yes I saw amazing results with retin-a too. But after 20 yrs of using it, the results are not the same using retin-a long term. I may use it again someday but the results I'm getting with this is blowing my RX outa the water. But your so new with retin-a so I agree, keep using what's working for ya. 😘 If it ain't broke...
Yes but this is a Medical Grade 5% Retinol. I am sure you got a cheap one and a lot otc are useless. Tret is great but so many people have said this is as good so 🤷♀️
Have you tried any of truth treatment products that you love? Thanks! I’m a new subscriber
When you used RetinA, did you apply it to your eye area as well? Also, you look great, your skin looks so healthy and glowy!! Appreciate the videos! 💜
I apply it to my eyes, brow bone, and under eyes. It's made a big difference!
@@mave143
Hi, did you apply it directly to the skin in your eye area or did you put a moisturizer or vaseline on top before you applied it?
@@Missycandylips I apply it all around my eyes with no moisturizer. But I'm used to it. I recommend you put on a moisturizer first then the Retin a. 😊
@@mave143 hey Mave, which strength do you use around the eyes?
@@rebeccag4798 hey Rebecca! I use the 0.05%. I would recommend to start at the 0.025% around the eyes for the first few months. And remember that some people can't tolerate it under the eyes at all. I'm wishing you lots of luck on your tretinoin journey! It really is a great product 💕🦋
Because of your video and some research I ordered the 1% retinol (new user), C serum, and healing balm. As far as immediate results, the serum and balm were unbelievable- I couldn’t stop looking at my skin the next morning. I suffer from melasma as well, and my skin was more even after 1 night of use, and just calm looking. I’m sold! I know the retinol will also be fabulous but understand it does take longer. I have used twice, 7 days apart, and had just a bit of flaking after 5 days each time. That’s it! Definitely brings the glow back to my 42 yr. old face 😁. So glad you shared this line!
Wow! So awesome to hear that. I know a lot of people were skeptical but I get the same results you described too!!! So glad to hear you love it too! It really has changed my skin too. 💜 Thank you for sharing!
Yes I have been using for 6 weeks maybe and it's absolutely brilliant. Nothing can compare to it ur right.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Hi where did u get it plz nd will it be ok for Asian skin
@@Pakistankikhana hi I bought it from the actual truth website delivery was really quick. Yes it's great for Asian skin in my opinion. My skin has transformed.
Just want to say how wonderful you are to answer so many questions! I love this formula... truly an amazing find. My girlfriends are asking me what I’m doing that is different. I’m now hooked on your channel and I appreciate how honest you are with the whole sponsored thing. I’ve sent several of my friends here so that they can order with your discount code. Also, even though I’m higher in age than you, I appreciate all of your recommendations!😁
I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you so much!
Thank you for introducing this miracle brand of skin care products! I’m new to skin care and these products from truth treatment systems have done a miracle on my acne scars !!!
Using the 5% retinol, the vitamin C serum , mist, and healing cream . Amazing even if pricey / absolutely worth the money. Anything else you can recommend for acne scaring be greatly appreciated . Love your videos! Men do watch too
I just place my order since I'm just now starting I'm going with the 1% ...thank you for the code it made a big difference on the price!!!
Hope you love it too Alex. I actually bumped up my nights of using it this week and I am so excited. I'm loving these results. Yes that code definitely helps. It's so pricey. But it last s a super long time.
It's advised by dermatologists to start with a lower percentage to increase gradually.
And how do you feel about the results so far ? I’m anxious to give it a try
Well your skin looks amazing so I had to buy the big one. Used your code. Can't wait to try it. I have used over the counter retinols and they are just ok. Prescription ones are so expensive. At 58 I have have good skin as I am oily, and have become a skin care junkie for fine lines around my eyes and have always had hooded eyes. Do you apply this on your eyelids??
Hi Linda,I don't it on my actual mobile lid but I do put it on my brow bone and a smidge underneath. Hope you love it too!💜
I'm almost out of my prescription tretinoin, so I'm going to try Truth instead of dealing with trying to get a new prescription. Can't wait to try it! What do you use on the nights you aren't using this?
Hey Linda. I use any of my other serums, like maybe an AHA or BHA serum or I may layer something like Niacinamide then Azelaic or I just use my Osmosis Stemfactor which is a growth factor serum and then the Osmosis Catalyst AC 11. Just different things, depending on what my skin seems to need that night. And I use lots of hydrating products too. Hope that helps.
Have you tried it yet? What are your results?
@@shellieperreault6262 Yes and I LOVE it along with Truth Treatment C serum and balm. I use the 5% retinol every Sunday evening, C serum every A.M. and C balm the other 6 nights. When they say it just takes a small amount, they weren't exaggerating, so though the initial investment may seem expensive, it will probably turn out to be a much better value than other skin care lines. Plus, this one visibly shows results. No guessing and hoping it's doing something. Blessings!
@@lindae2016 Hi Linda, thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask your skin type and age please? Just curious to see if I may get similar results to you if we have similar skin type. I'm 27 and have acne prone skin (which can be on the oily side but have found that tretinoin use has helped to manage my sebum production).
Your skin is gorgeous!!! I love retinol too and have used it for a year now. What a difference. I always had grata skin but the TEXTURE and reduced wrinkles is off the charts using Retinol. I'm much older than you at 60 but most think I'm late 40s to age 50. Question: Where do you find 5% retinol??? Most i can find is 2%.
Asked my boss if I could take a break to watch this!! My favorite video to date! I love my 1% TT Retinol! So glad you love your 5% #beautyqueen
Haha! You are definitely the medical grade skincare queen and I learn so much from you! And thank you so much for being so generous and offering the free fancy spoon with full size orders and my code!
I am a beginner to retinol. Do you still think the 1% retinol helps? How many days do you use it?
Hi Sheri, thanks for the video. Now that you’ve been using 5% retinol gel for awhile, do you still like it as well? I’ve been using retin-a for a couple years now and feel it may be a bit harsh for a 70+ skin. Do you think this retinol gel may be a good substitute for me?
I want to get the TT c balm and I might have to order this too. Your cheek bones are great!
I hear the C Balm is their top seller. I haven't tried it yet but I'm obsessed with the C serum too. But I also have more normal/oily skin & acne prone. I'm sure if you have normal/dry skin the C balm would be best. Oh they are also offerning the $20 spoon for free with the full size purchase of the C Balm too with my discount code. Just in case you would rather get that instead of the retinol gel. Let me know how you like them 💜
I've used the C balm because my acne often fades into dark marks. Personally, I did not see a difference but I know many people have.
It’s not the product that made her cheek bones, she has high cheekbones natively and highlighted them just brings them into focus!
noiui yes I know it’s not the products. It was just a compliment. 😊
Had you had cheek fillers during this time? Thanks
I have the truth treatments 5% retinol and I agree it is very potent. I have also used Retin-A and retinols for many many years. The only issue I have is that it is almost too strong for my skin so I have started using just a tiny amount and I’m going to keep trying to experiment with it but yes it’s good stuff!
Do you still recommend the vitamin C serum from Truth treatments? I haven’t tried any of the other products. Thanks!
Yes it's fabulous. 💗
I can't believe you're 48. You look like you're around 29-31. You're beautiful, and so is your skin. Your speaking voice is very soothing, and i love the positive energy that you radiate when you smile. I've been very interested in watching a lot of Retinoid-related videos, and i'm happy to see people's good experiences with using different types of Retinoids. Personally, i've been incorporating Adapalene for a few days now, and i have nothing bad to say about it. I know it's inconvenient for Americans to always ask for a prescription to buy a Tretinoin cream/gel. Luckily, we can get Tretinoin in every pharmacy without prescription in my country, and they're super cheap. A 0.025% Tretinoin cream is only $2 here, and a 0.1% is only $4.
Thank you. Yes I can't believe how affordable tretinoin is in other countries...and convenient to buy. Last time I was in Spain I bought a few at the pharmacy for super cheap.
I'm 25 & people often mistake me for 19, even a doctor had told me "oh I thought you were 20" so I started using tretinoin in November of 2022 so I am about 3 months in....I want to try to preserve my youthful appearance & get rid of my hyperpigmentation/cystic acne! lets hope it works...i think i have finished the purging phase, when i first started i was getting alot of cystic acne but its reduced, i only peel now :)
This product is $200.00, just saying for people like me. Thank you for doing affordable skincare as well. God bless!
Actually this one I'm using is $84.00 (still pricey but definitely worth the money). Then the other 2 products I shared in this video are $9.00 and $15.00 But yes I always try to share products that meet everyone's budget. I never want to leave anyone out 😍
Yes, but if it lasts for a year, it is a great price.
For people never use retinol like me . Do you suggest start to use this product ? Thanks for share 🌹
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Which product was 84 dollars? So you don't use the 5 percent one right now (if your answer is still valid 8 months later)? Just curious to make my own purchase without having to spend too much money. Thanks for sharing all this information.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Hello Graceful Beauty.....I love your talk about this new product, however, I'm wondering about the practicality of buying an over the counter retinol couple with a vitamin C in a gel formula and paying such a high price for it. Seriously, I can buy a gel that's a hyaluronic acid with retinol (Neutrogena Wrinkle Rapid Repair, add Vitamin C on top, and voila! - I have the same as your Truth product but a whole lot cheaper. Please tell me what is the difference if there's any. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Would much appreciate your answer. Janice
How much better is the mineral mist compared to other mists such as the nod dismutase? I have the NIOD mist and the Osmosis mists and wondering if they would be OK to use w/ this gel instead of purchasing another very expensive mist. Look so forward to your videos Sheri!
Hi Juanita. For me, NOTHING has compared to the NIOD SOD mist. And I really don't think we must use the Osmosis or TT mists with their products. Honestly when I run out of them, I just use my Niod with it or even my Avene Thermal Spring Water seems to work well with it. I think it's mainly to help it spread better and for better penetration. Although the TT mist is a mineral mist and has antioxidants but it doesn't feel as hydrating as the Niod Sod mist. I really enjoy all of them and will continue to use all of them, but if I had to choose just one, then definitely Niod. Hope that helps. And hope you had a beautiful weekend!
Wow, Wowww, you look absolutely amazing and so beautiful.
Thank you so much!
So excited just bought a sample kit of Truth Treatments from the only supplier I could find in the UK! Has the 1% retinol, the mist, spoon and 3 other products to try 😀🤞 Thanks for the recommendation, if my skin looks half as amazing as yours after using this I’ll be happy 😘
Oh I’m getting this! Perfect timing as I’m almost out of my Retin A! How are you this gorgeous with no makeup??? How? I meannnn. 😍😍😍 Love you sweet friend! 🤗😘
Oh my goodness Karen! I'm going to have to stop sharing my skincare because your husband is going to blame me for you having too much skincare! Haha! But I bet you will LOVE this! I can't believe I waited so long to try it. Let me know how it works for you!
For reals! But no don’t stop 😃
Hi..just watched your video for the first time. What retinol body cream would you recommend?
I find it hard to believe you suddenly stopped using Retin A after 20 years for a retinol product. Just my opinion....
Nonetheless, your skin is beautiful....
Hey there! I was hesitant to try this retinol for the longest time because I had always thought retin-a was always better. But since I do test products, I actually stopped the retin-a mainly to properly test this product. But then with the amazing results I've gotten from this (which isn't just a retinol. BTW...it has a TON of THD Ascorbate and the combo of these ingredients makes this so much more potent and go deeper in the skin) I haven't missed my RX retin-a one bit. Oh also you can use your retin-a still on off nights but I personally would not since I use the 5% retinol. My face would fall off. But many people do still use there retin-a and use the 1% as a treatment on the off nights. Hope that helps clarify.
Graceful Beauty thanks for responding
I just don't believe, sorry.
Have you tried this yet?
I am surprised also since Retin A is the king of anti-aging..
I just purchased the 30ML Retinol Gel. I really hope it works as I just spent my allowance on the product. Currently I am using Paula's Choice 5% Retinol and appears to be working but not as amazing as the product you videoed. Thank you for the discount code!
I hope you love it too. I absolutely love all of Paula's Choice retinols but for me this one is much better and more potent. Make sure you wear your sunscreen daily. Oh and if you got the 30ml with my code, they will send you a free $20 spatula in your package. It's a fancy little spoon too. Let me know how it works for you! 💜
Hello this is a great find. One question / is this a sponsored review given there is a discount code . Many thanks
No ma'am I never do sponsored videos and I never will. I even did a video about why I won't do them and I got a lot of crap from a couple other mature beauty youtubers wanting me to take that video down. Whatever I share on my channel is always stuff I actually use. I also share stuff I don't like but I share the crappy products in my empties videos. Whenever I have a discount code and an affiliate link, it is usually a referral link and I do get a small commission if you order through my links but anyone can use referral links on their websites. Sponsorships are a whole other ballgame...where the company or brand actually pays you money to share their product. Often times those companies also give you a script or a list of things you must say and then they often have to approve your video before you can upload it. I'm not interested in someone telling me what to say and especially because that doesn't seem honest to me. But I also don't do UA-cam as a job. It's just a hobby for me but one I'm passionate about. Hope that clarifies for ya. 😘
I love your videos and they are very informative! I do however have a question....I have tried a few products and seen very little difference around my eyes, puffiness and crows feet. What do you recommend? Thank you.
Isn't the "firmness" of the skin to do more with underlying fat/muscles than anything applied topically? If the fat/muscle sags, the skin will sag I don't believe retin a can save that!
Great point! Retinol or retinoids build collagen to help reduce the wrinkles. It doesn't do anything to underlying fat and muscle. I definitely have enough fat in my face since the lock down so maybe that's why it's gotten so firm. Haha! 🤪
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Hahahhaha
Face yoga plus retinol is the bomb combination
Hi.I'm so glad you decided to try this product and review it. I'm a small UA-camr and have been watching you for a long time. Your skin.. is the best of all UA-cam. I use everything except retinA because I don't want to peel. Do most people peel with this product???
Thank you Laurie. How kind of you! Yes many people peel but not the irritation like they get with retin-a. I don't peel when I use only once a week but every now and then if I'm not going anywhere for a couple days, I want the peel to happen so I will use it more often in the week to get a good peel in. It takes about 4 -5 days after using it for the peeling to start. So I schedule it properly. But I never get red or irritated like I did with retin-a. The skin just kinda peels off like snake skin. It's pretty cool and the skin underneath is baby fresh healthy skin. Hope that helps!😘
Truth Treatments are my absolute favorite Vitamin A and C. I also, use the 5% and only use once a week on Sunday's.
That's awesome Yvonne! Thank you for sharing!
Hi, Sherry, new sub here! Your skin is gorgeous! I’ve ordered the 1% retinol for now and the vitamin C serum too because of your video. Rather than using the current promo I used your code as you are a wonderful example for the company and you deserve the credit. So glad I found you and this new line of products.
I just got my retinol 5% gel and came to see the review and saw the discount code here. Really sad. Is there any way they can adjust my price? It’s really a good deal with your discount.
Hope you love it. Oh bummer you didn't get it with my discount. You'd have to contact the company but I don't think they would after the fact. But I also have a code for 22% off makeup if you ever need that. And for 25% off other skincare. I've tried to get discount codes for almost every store I online shop at so if you are ever wanting to buy something, let me know and will see if I have a code for ya. 💜
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri u think. Retinol Works diferent . when you aply before o after hidratation ? How do you aply ur retinol at night??? Hope ur answer...
There’s a dermatologist on UA-cam who says you should not use retin-a with vitamin c, that retins should be used at night, and vitamin c in the morning after using a pH balanced cleanser.
This is already formulated properly with a different form of Vit C and retjnol. It's not the L ascorbic type of Vit C that Drs are referring to. But I do prefer using a separate C serum in the morning under my sunscreen and this at night. I also use a separate Vit C at night some nights too. But she is referring to people who are mixing stuff on their own and playing "chemist" LOL in their bathroom...then there can be a greater chance of rritation when things aren't mixed properly. When something is already formulated with a mixture of ingredients, that's fine and this form of Vit c is THD ascorbate...totally different type of Vit C than the one most Drs are referring to not to be mixed with rerinol. And if you ever do mix L ascorbic with retinol, on your own,, it's not really terrible BUT you may experience alot of irritation so it defeats the point so best to just use separately.. So yes, in general if using your serums separately...C in morning, retinol at night. Hope that helps. 😘
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri thanks! That makes sense!
So you were putting the tretinoin directly on your eyelids?
Hey Brandi, no never...just on the brow bone but it will travel on its own when it soaks in..
Great video. I thought the same thing about trying this product because I use Retin A. I think I’m going to give this a try. Do you also use their vitamin C? I’ve heard good things about that product too.
Hi Mary, Yes I LOVE their Transdermal C serum too. I haven't tried their C balm but many people rave about that one too. I think the C balm is best for dry skin. And if you haven't tried their new sheet masks...they are so luxurious. My skin looked like I stepped out of a facial when I was tried them last week...super glowy and hydrated. Make sure if you try their Retinol gel, you start with the 1% if you aren't already using a higher strength retin -a and work your way up to the 5%. Unless your skin already easily tolerates retin-a. And ONLY use a pea size not more than every 10 days. I've worked up to using mine 2-3 nights a week but I don't want you to peel or get irritated. And many people continue to use their retin-a bit they use the TT retinol gel every 10 day as a treatment (not on the same night as retin-a tho). Let me know how it works for you. 💜
Wow! That product is super pricey 😬 How many times a week do you use it? You don’t apply any moisturizer after you apply the product? I know you mentioned you mix the gel
with the spray. Do you also apply it on the eyelids? I currently use Retin-A .5% 3 times a week, but I don’t apply it to my eyelids.
Hi Vanessa, I personally don't use a moisturizer with it because I don't need one but you could use one after you apply it if needed. I never put product on my eye lids but I do on my brow bone and a smidge below. I shared 2 affordable products at the end of the video if interested in something not so pricey. It is an investment for sure. But it does last a super long time so in the long run you save... but up front it's a lot 😳 Hope that helps answer your question. 💜
Graceful Beauty Great! Thank you! I don’t mind spending the money, just as long as it works. I’m going to think about it. I think the most I have spent on a skincare product is $140. Decisions decisions
Hi How long does the jar last you compare to the Retin A tube?
Thanks for the info. I just bought the gel. I also use prescription retinol and like the results but I feel like it stopped working or my skin got used to it. Hoping this will give it a boost.
Yes that's what seemed to happen to me after all the years of using retin-a. This definitely gives it a boost. A SUPER Boost! LOL Just don't use on the same night. But I hope you love it too!💜
@BlankParty can u update on how you like the product? Do u see results?
How is it possible that the ingredients, specially vit C, stays stable in a jar??🙄🧐
This isn't the type of Vit C in most products. This is a stable Vit C that is my all time favorite called THD Ascorbate. But the way everything is formulated supposedly stays stable for years. I'd still prefer not to have it in a jar.
Graceful Beauty m
I have the c balm and it is $200 I will absolutely spend again. OMG, is the BEST lip balm ever. My lips would hurt so happy when I got my retin a on them and nothing helped soothe them. This makes them feel better immediately and nearly healed over night. I am trying the retinol on your recommendation and trying another as well. Wish I waited a minute to find out you had a code.
Bought it, used your discount, used the gel 5%, love it, I use it every 3 days. I’m coming off of .1% Retin-A as well. I love this, never going back. Will repurchase. Thanks for this tip.
Wow that's so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. Don't forget your SPF everyday!!!😘😘😘
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri I picked up the Revlon prep and protect based on your review as well, love that product too. It has SPF but I spend very little time in the sun, very little. I have this natural tan thing I was born with !!
At seventy everything starts to drop. Before that, it was pretty good.
You still look beautiful to me💜
I'm 36 I look 79
Nadrien Markowski --Were/are you using retin-a?
HRT becomes crucial as well as retin a after fifty.
So I want to hear about what it’s like to stop using tretinoin. How long has it been since you’ve stopped and what changes have you seen?
Omg it’s just one long sales pitch. Please continue using your prescriptions people she’s affiliated with the brand and gets a percentage of your money when you use her code.
Nope, not affiliated with the brand at all. They don't know who I am. My discount code is at the amazing online skincare store called Skin Beautiful RX and the code is good for every product they sell. But thanks for your comment anyways even though you are incorrect...and I'm assuming you've never tried this product. Keep using what you're using if that's what works well for you. This is just what works great for my skin....and a TON of others. Feel free to read comments to hear what others have to say about this fabulous product. I bet you would love it too if you tried it. And you can still use your prescription on nights you don't use this.
@Jenathen T: I agree. Last month it was Niod Superoxide Dimutase Mist to try before getting botox. Come on... it may be that the product is great, but never that price. In addition, some of the enthusiastic users are already using the prescription Retin-a again in parallel (just to be on the safe side, if it doesn't work miracles ;-)), although the product is a new Holy Grail. Above all, a long-term assessment of the product is never possible with this method.
well said
Sherri I cannot get over how stunning you are !! You are literally glowing , wow 😮
And I’ve got a question . Will the routine for dark spots work for freckles as well ? On some parts of my face , it looks like I had glitter (brown glitter that is ) thrown on my face . I’ve been using most of the ingredients you’ve covered since about May of 2019 but I’ve seen almost no reduction of my brown spots at all , only a general “glow “ sort of . I do not want to use hydroquinone but I am interested in trying this retinol . I am religious about putting on sunscreen , always have been and still get brown spots and hyperpigmentation . I wonder if the ruddiness I’ve had all my life contributes to the formation of spots since I understand that heat will make it worse because my face can get hot easily . Do you think I should try retinol to help with my brown spots and hyperpigmentation ?
The Ordinary has a Granactive Retinoid 5% in squalene
Yes I've tried it. It didn't do anything for my skin personally but it may be good for a beginner. I hear some people say they really liked it.
Be careful with that, that product from TO gave me a horrible breakout I still can’t bring myself to try any of their other products because of that experience
@@alexandram1301 did u put moisturizer after applyin retinol ??
Yep. I bought this one too. Lol. I actually ended up buying the NIOD product that you talked about in your last video and I enjoy it very much. However, I’m certain that this product will yield MUCH greater results. Thanks for the info and the discount!!!!
Oh my goodness, I literally was spraying my Niod on as I opened my computer to read comments! LOL Oh yes this retinol gel is so much more intense. Different ingredients/products but both are wonderful.
Graceful Beauty Lol...that’s funny. I’ve been using retinol from Sunday Riley and a couple of other products, so I bought the 5 percent instead of the 1. I hope it works out! Thanks again and take care!!!
your skin looks so glowing... retinol products are very good for your skin but sometimes it makes your skin sensitive and drying so i use kumkumadi tailum from the planet ayurveda. It does wonders to the skin
Hi lovely!! This sounds amazing! Forgive me if you said this but do you still use tretinoin or retinols the rest of the week or you’re just using this now? And omg I didn’t know tretinoin had other ingredients that are bad! Thank you love! This was great!!
Hey beautiful! Oh darn, I forgot to specify that. I'm so sorry about that. No I have completely stopped my RX but I sometimes use the Osmosis Renew Vit A Serum or the Revision Skincare retinol one other time during the week at night. But for the most part, I am just using this 5% retinol once a week...very rarely I will use it twice a week because it's so potent and will make me peel if used too often. Although I'm ok with peeling but not irritation and I never get irritation with this. I know I never even thought to look at the actual other ingredients in the RX and they are not good at all. 😱
Graceful Beauty Thank you my love! This was excellent!🤗
@@Kathrynh246 oh I just found out from SkinBeautifulRX that YES you can use your retin-a 6 nights a week and the Truth Treatments on night 7. I personally wouldn't unless I use the 1% Truth Treatments but Leah also said her clients will also use the Osmosis retinal during the day (since it's ok to use that type during the day) and the TT at night. But just start super slow so your face doesn't fall off. You know how we love testing all this out. I'm gonna bump my days up even more now and see what happens. 😳
Hi Sheri, I’ve watched this last year and wanted to watch it again as I just watched your Tutorial skincare routine using TT 5% gel. I think I’ve left u a comment on the other video; but just in case LOL I finally ordered the TT 1% gel and the 100ml bottle of Miometic mist. Also using Growth factors as well as DNA YOUTH RECOVERY SERUM.
This is my 2nd eve of applying the TT 1% gel and loving it. Anxious to see results. I’m at the point where I do not see any results with the Timeless 20% l-as oscorbic acid so I’m glad I watched this again as I was getting ready to order the TT C Balm. Just really need to up my skincare at now 61.
I did order my 1% gel thru freezeco Beauty as I got it about 25.00 cheaper. Think I am going to order TT deluxe sample box since it has both Vit C serum and balm. I’m sure I am going to love it. I don’t know. Will see in a few.
Thank you once again for your amazing tutorials/videos.
Would you consider doing a skincare routine using all TT treatments?
That would be awesome.
May God continue to bless you always and in your travels. Continue having fun. Lots of love and prayers Karla
I just ordered it. I’m excited to try after seeing your video. I’m asian and have combination skin, and will be turning 40 this year 😢. I’m starting to see a big change in my skin and wrinkles are creeping in on my forehead. I hope this can help me.
I am so happy you are talking about truth Treatments!... I am 63 yo and have used so many brands... almost all... lol... once I started using Truth Treatments, it changed everything!... I will never look back and use anything else!!!!.. glad you love it!!!!💜💜💜💜💜Great video!
That's so awesome to hear that Linda! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!
Can you tell us what products of the line you are using?
Just ordered with your discount code. Hoping it works as well for me as it has for you!
Hello Liz, I was hoping you would give us an update now that you’ve been using the product for awhile? Thank you!!
Honestly I haven't watched one of your videos in probably 6 months and I notice a huge difference. I wonder if that would help with 60 year old skin? I don't have any wrinkles but I do have sagging at the jowls and neck. Just a few fine lines around the eyes and very even skin tone. Genetics but I still want some change without surgery. You look really really awesome
Thank you! I know the change is from all these products because I'm still eating pizza and burgers! haha! I think the retinol gel would be great for any age, especially 60. I noticed a big difference in my jowls that were trying to form but this helps keep everything firm. You are so blessed to have even skin tone. That's my biggest struggle but it's gotten so much better. If you do try it, let me know how it goes.
I have been using the Truth treatment 5% retinol gel twice a week and i would usually get skin peeling 2 days later. Is that a normal reaction? So far, i love how my skin feels and looks especially after i get Hydrafacial to suction all the dead skin cells and other gunk in my face. Thank you for your vlog about this product.
