BEST SKIN CARE TIPS
Since the first retinoid was approved for pimples, acne and zits in 1970s, these drugs have been hailed by many as a cure-all for skin conditions. Although retinoids may not be the answer to every skin condition, there are several with proven results.
Retinoids for Acne, Blackheads and pimples
If you have moderate to severe pimples that hasn't gotten better with other treatments, a retinoid may help. When spread on the skin, retinoids can unclog pores, allowing other medicated creams and gels to work better.
Retinoids for Wrinkles and fine lines- prevention and reduction
The first retinoid approved by the FDA to treat wrinkles was tretinoin, a retinoic acid. This prescription retinoid increases collagen production in the dermis and stimulates vessels in the skin, giving skin a rosy appearance. Retinoic acid can also fade age spots, and reduce precancerous actinic keratosis. Tretinoin can also act as an exfoliating agent. Over-the-counter retinol may not work as well as tretinoin in wrinkle prevention and reduction, but they can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
How to use: Apply to your face, neck, and chest, at least twice a week.
What else you need to know: It takes 3 to 6 months of regular use before improvements in fine lines and wrinkle are seen, with best results happening after 7 to 9 months.
How to Minimize Risks of retinol - retinoid use
Stay out of the sun. If you must be outdoors, limit your hours, especially between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Use sunscreen preferably with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, and protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a large-brimmed hat.
Never use more of the product or use it more frequently than your doctor prescribes or the package label says. Doing so will not increase its effectiveness, but will increase side effects. Start slowly and increase application frequency.
Use a good moisturizer along with topical retinoids. Doing so will reduce skin drying without interfering with the product's effectiveness Pregnant women or women who are planning on becoming pregnant should not use retinol-retinoic acid.

Many thanks for your compliments. Cheers, Davin Lim

Thanks for viewing... Davin Lim
Couldn't love your personality anymore... Your videos are so informative and perfect for laymen. Keep up the great work kid....
Thanks.. will mix and match .Davin Lim
loved this video. very informative! I logically started with one percent retinol, first from peter thomas roth and now paula's choice, and what I understood - if you use this product smart, it won't irritate your skin, I have broken capillaries and redness on my cheeks, but these products, with moisturizing does not irritate my skin. it would be so great if you do video like this about oils and how to use them properly. once again you are great!
Dr. Lim: I got so much education and awareness here about how to titrate the Retin A at a higher % etc. I started off with Obagi Tretinoin 0.1% and b/c of cost I got Refissa .05%. Since using the Refissa I have not had any peeling or irritation. However, I will return to the 0.1% in the future. I am so grateful to have found you.
Thanks.. makes the videos worth making! Davin Lim
I really appreciate your honesty and the wealth of information you have shared.
Thanks. Davin Lim

Hello Dr Lim. Thank you for this video. Please can retinoid acid be used on the body? If yes, how is that done.
I really enjoy your videos, very informative. I need to make the trip from Rockhampton. .would love to have a consultation with you at some stage.

Thanks for that.... +1 for the change. Davin LIm. BRISBANE SKIN specialist.

What I particularly like about these videos are the money-saving tips. Using active ingredients really helped both my skin and my wallet since I don't fall for marketing tricks anymore and just use a sufficient amount of products which are really working for my skin.
Thank you for this!

Dr. Davin, i don't know if you'll see my comment but i just happened to bump into this video not knowing it's going to be exclusively on vitamin A. if you notice my comment, my request is that you should edit the title of the video to reflect that since the title is too generic in this case. thank you so much for all that you do for us! really can't thank you enough. 💜💜💜💜
Thanks for viewing, for more skin care tips @drdavinlim INSTAGRAM

Thanks for viewing. Davin Lim. Dermatologist Brisbane.
Retinoids are EVERYTHING!! ❤️
Indeed.
Great informative video! Is it possible to use retinoids and at the same time do laser/microneedling treatments? Could that be to much for the skin?
No... too much. Seperate by a few days. Davin Lim
I changed to afternoon use . And now i had issues . Thanks for your help about retinol . I have to change my retinol luse now....
Just a heads up. Differin is now available over the counter in the U. S. Great video as always Dr. Dav!
Holy cow??? That is pretty serious news... thats great, only thing is that I wonder what will happen if its used in pregnancy and some one does not realise. No big deal in theory, but in Australia that is the concern. DL
i jst loved your honesty
Thanks, Davin Lim
welcm doctor m also a doctor
Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing to the world your knowledge in skincare. Your videos are helpful, funny, and genuine. Love the fact how you stay true to who you are and the funny "tight ass asian you are" was the best part of this video! 🤣
So kind of you to share.....
Thanks for watching. DL
Which moisturizer do you recommend with the procedure
not too long at all thank you for explaining it for us
Thanks for viewing. DL
Thank you!
Dr. Lim love your energy and you're very handsome !! ;)
So I watch this as I am putting on my Retin A. Lol If I get really dry, I will use Tamanu oil, about 1/2 hour after. Is this okay vs what most would consider a moisturizer? I don't peel or shed with it. I know Retin A travels under the skin a little ways, but what do you use under your eyes? I stop at the orbital bone. Also, are Glycolics and AHAs off limits when using Retin A or do I need to skip a night of Retin A if I want to use one? I use Vit C during the day. I am 58 but was never a sun worshipper. 😄 I also read people telling women to start using Retin A (for anti-aging) the sooner the better - like in their early 20's! There was no way my lifestyle (a little wild) would have tolerated the strict regime needed to be followed on a daily basis at that age. I never knew what time I would get home from work or where I would be staying the night. I think I would have been afraid for my boyfriend to touch my face after I applied Retin A. 😎 Either that it might get on him and burn him or might wipe some off a portion of my face. It's late on the west coast and I'm tired and rambling. Sorry. 🌹❤️
I just went to a dermatologist for my annual check up. She suggested the differin gel so I just started that
Hi Dr. Lim! You say, retinoids can't be used for the under eye area. Am I right? What do you recommend to use there? I mean, something just as effective like retinoid for other parts of the face? Thanks!
Dilute as tolerated, all the best, Davin Lim. Brisbane skin specialist.
What do you think about estrogen and Progesteron containing formulas do you combine with vitamins ?
Thanks for the video. What is the best cleanser to use for acne ? My dermatologist prescribed me a salicylic soap Neutrogeuna but my skin doesn’t like it. Do you know about Acné.org regimen ? Is it only Marketing?
Is coconut oil a good moisturizer before applying retinol or is a cream moisturizer better ?
Thank you! If only your practice was close by. I'm in NSW.
Thanks... but this stuff (skin care) is really really basic - any dermatologist can do. In fact my product knowledge is not up to speed with general prescribing dermatologist because most of my time is with lasers, surgery and procedures. Skin care complements what I do as preventative.. so that is why I see it as important. Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim yeah, but I would also consider getting treatment done on my skin. There aren't many dermatologist around Newcastle who can treat naturally tanned/olive skin for pigmentation or melasma.
You literally are my crush doctor. Hahaha
:)
very informative as usual
Cheers. DL
Tnx, doc for the video! And what brand of retinoid gel do you recomend to use (for extra oily skin)? Is A-Ret gel 0.1% (Menarini) good as retinoid gel (sellers from ebay write it's retinol cream, dunno why, but the packaging has "tretinoin" word...)? Or what others brand can u suggest? If it possible, gel like type, not cream.
Hey Dr. Lim, I looked into starting a Vitamin A cream. But there is a lot of research out there stating tretinoin could be teratogenic. And considering it's not safe for pregnant women, it makes me skeptical to put this near my skin. High cellular turnover and 'reprogramming' to cells to behave like proper cells sounds like a recipe for cancer.
Do you think you could you do a video that addresses these? Is the confusion coming from orally administered retinoids being different from topical ones?
Sarah Nicholson from what I understood of retinol, the reason it’s “not safe for pregnancy” is based mostly around not having scientific evidence to refute it, regarding pregnancy. I think a previous study has stated there could be adverse effects based on what they found (unrelated to pregnancy in any way). The only way to prove beyond speculation that retinol was absolutely safe or unsafe would be to test retinol on pregnant women which would never pass through an ethics committee ever. Therefore, given they can’t prove nor disprove, they just say it’s probably best to steer clear. Like alcohol. Realistically, in the later trimesters (not the first) will a glass of wine now and then do anything? Probably not, but it’s best to steer clear, just in case. Hope this helps, it’s just what I’ve picked up on the subject. But obviously feel free to do your own research.
oh, I forgot, something I've watched on UA-cam about phytoceramides. Would you be able to talk about this some time? Thank you
The video wasn't too Long.it was very informative. THANK YOU! However next time look into the camera like you would a patient
New subscriber. Loved the video. Tfs.
Thanks, DL
I'm about to finish my roaccutane treatments in a week or two, would you suggest using retinol afterwards?
Hello Dr. Lim,
I heard that Retinol is not really working. Bcs. of its oxidative behavior, when you open the Creme... It tends to lose its benefit and because of the amount of 0,1 % is not really working. I mean I heard that products with the Hydroxypinacolone is a better choice... It is (like I understand) an acid and doesn’t need to be proceed by our body... Do you have a recommendation for a cream with Hydroxypinacolone ?
And who do you recommend to get the prescripted version of the Retonoid Cream? Does it has more side effects than dry skin, peeling and sensitivity to Sun?
Sorry for my not so suffisticated English:-) and thank you very much! Hope your injury will heal fast and well!
How often and for how long can i use the prescribed retinoid cream?
Hello Dr Lim, Is it possible to use Retinol 1.0 for dark circles under eye?
You answered many questions I've thought of over time! I still have one though...if you're using a non prescription exfoliant/cleanser a few times a week that has glycolic or vitamin C, are you still able to use retinol? Thanks 😊
Titrate.... go slow. Yes you can. Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
What is zorac used for?Thanks for the video Dr.David!
Mainly acne.. and psoriasis... but off label indications are endless.. DL
I tried vitamin A years ago but with a sunscreen I didn't know was expired and ended up with huge brown areas on my cheeks. I don't know if it was too high of a concentration but I've been trying to correct the damage for years. Tried hydroquinone cream which helped until sun exposure reversed the effects🙄. Is there anything I can use at home to get rid of the hyper pigmentation? I've seen your videos on acid peels but I am a little scared to try them on my own. Thank you for your videos, I find them fascinating and informative.👍🏼
I hope Dr Davin replies to you - great question and hopefully a good solution! Good luck
Awesome!
diluting a strong is a great tip financially!
YUP, asians... tight ass.
Hi David, which of the 3 generation of retinoids do you recommend for the purposes of preemptive anti aging - tretinoin, differin or tazorat?
First and last... works on RAR receptors. Studies from tretinoin by Griffith and co. over two decades ago. Cheers, Davin Lim
thank you a lot! pls, tell me - what strength of Retin A to use for mature skin with not a lot of wrinkles? under yet area , lip area..and the rest of the face ? i have problems on my neck - circles and not firm skin - what strength to use there? thank you!
Start 0.025, work up. DL
Thanks, very informative, but what are the pros of using vit A??xxx
Video already done. All the best Davin Lim
