    I thank my mother for never listening to anyone about NOT having to put sunscreen on me or my sister as kids because we were half black. Most of the black people I know look at me like I’m stupid when I say I put on an SPF EVERYDAY! When I suggest they should too, I get the entire “we are black and have melanin in our skin” speech. I never argue though lol. I just smile and nod 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Love this video but wish you would have gone a bit deeper into the collagen production aspect of it, which is also well-documented. I have been using Retin-A since I was 24; I am now 37. I call it the Fountain of Youth. I do one annual, deep TCA peel and Retin-A every other night. I have not aged in any tangible way for a decade. Highly recommend Tretinoin to anyone who is willing to use it religiously ( and be mindful of sun exposure while using it).

    i've been using tretinoin since my 20's and stepped up my sunscreen game to asian sunscreens in my 30's. Now 54 I get many compliments about my skin and while I'm sure tretinoin shows the most immediate results when reversing visible damage, the best testimony to it's long term results is the comparison of skin treated by tretinoin and protected by sunscreen to those who haven't in the same age range. I'm so glad I heeded one caution my mother gave me.

    Very nice video. Dr. Dray! I'm so happy that you talked about the leveling off period of tretinoin usage, and that after using it for approximately five years, you can taper off to just a few nights a week. I did NOT know that. I am 57, and I've been on it for five months, and I LOVE it. And I love YOU and appreciate all that you teach us. You really are so wonderful and so beautiful, on the inside and on the outside. Your lbd is beautiful, and red heals or even red flats would look amazing with that dress. Your mom is so cute....have a beautiful day, dear Dr. Dray, mamma Dray and Tybee boy xoxo!!!

    I'm glad you mentioned that sun protection during childhood is key. I used to hate putting on sunscreen as a kid, but my mom always made me. I'm 27 now and I'm not dealing with the sun damage that a lot of my friends are now. I did use Retin-A as a teenager for acne, but now I feel fine using Differin Gel. It's not as irritating for me. I've been thinking about switching back for anti-aging purposes, but it's so expensive. This cleared up a lot of my questions. Thank you!

      Yes, I have been using it lately but..... beside it helping re-texture my skin. It hasn’t really helped my blackheads. It also hasn’t done much for the hyperpigmentation that was left from previous acne. I will stop using it until my skin can tolerate the tret. I wouldn’t want to overwhelm it.

    Hi, couple questions...
    How far in advance do you recommend stopping Retin-A before becoming pregnant? Does your body need to purge the Tretinoin for a while or is just stopping use sufficient? Will stopping Tretinoin essentially have your skin continue aging on a normal pace from the time you first starting incorporating it in your regimen? And last question is... if stopped for a year then resumed, will your skin have to go through the purging process all over again? Thank you so much in advance!!

I just found one ointment/cream that had tretinoin 0.5% as the ingredient in a pharmacy but it was very very very cheap. Probably 2 or 3 dollars. And ofc it shouldn't be like that? I mean IDK, SHOUlD I still use it because the ingredient is the main thing. Or shall I not??? That's the only option I have here.
