I am age 60 and my dermatologist says I don't "need" tretinoin because I am doing great with "topicals", so, he did not provide me with a RX. So, I began to use the otc ROC capsules. I can use them every night without irritation. I use Timeless 20% vitamin C every morning and evening and various sunscreens everyday. Occasionally I add the Ordinary Azelaic Acid suspension at 10% and Salysilic Acid from 2-4% up to Occasionally 20%. My skin loves salysilic and azelaic acids! That's about it short of various moisturizers on my neck & chest and sometimes up onto my cheeks. (I'm prone to milia with thick moisturizers on my upper cheeks and around eyes). I adore your channel and rely on the trusted information you share!!❤
Hey Dr Idriss! Love your videos they’re so educational for me as a 20-year-old girlie who’s into skincare. Just one question. If retinol promotes collagen production, and hypertrophic scars are caused by excessive collagen promotion, does using retinol increase the risk of getting hypertrophic acne scars?
I have sensitive skin in terms of allergies (perfume, grass, sun, alcohol...) but it has never had a bad reaction to retinol, vitamin c, or exfoliating acids. Does that mean it is ok to continue to use my regular granactive retinoid under my eyes, on my upper lip and my neck? 🤔🙏🏻♥️
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm just starting my facecare journey, so I'm going to try The Ordinary 0.5% retinol in Squalane. But out of interest, and later down the road when I start to kick things up a notch, could you walk us through all your products, what they do, who should use them, strengths, ingredients, e.t.c. Thanks from the UK! ✌
I have a question. The only way I am able to tolerate it and using almost every night is mixing it equally with moisturizer. I use 0.025. Am I doing it wrong? It seems that my skin tolerates and I like the results
My 11 year old was given 0.25 RetinA by her dermatologist. She started off by using it twice a week, but her skin got worse so she then moved to using it every night. I believe she has burned her skin because she complains that her face is hot. How long should she baste with the diaper rash cream before returning to the retinal?
Hi, can i use kojic acid serum then cetaphill moisturiser and use tretinoin 0.25%? I am currently 23+ and beginner is tretinoin . Its been 3 weeks im using it every three days with just moisturiser. Now i wanna go back to my serums and use that with tretinoin. Can i do that?
I didn’t know Dr Idriss when I started to use Retinol 0,5 but I never had an issue with irritation even though I never used a lighter version, is that weird? And now that I’m totally used to it I wonder if I need something stronger? Or maybe the brand I used is not that effective? Is supposed to be a professional cosmetic brand.
Dr. Idriss, what should we do if our acne is on our chin and around the mouth? I use retinol (adapalene gel) on this area but I know that it irritates it because of the visible signs of redness. Do you have any tips on how to tackle acne and its scars in this area if retinol isn’t the best option?
I finally have a skincare schedule Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday are my tretinoin nights Saturday is my AHA night Sunday and Wednesday: no actives Every morning prescription Azelaic Acid. I’m feeling really good about it.
I'm a Registered Dietitian and I can tell you that the order in which you eat protein, carbs, fats, etc. does not change the way your body digests them. :) Love you videos and info.
The Glucose Goddess, a biochemist not a medical doctor, offered scientific research (2015) that eating meals in a specific order will help avoid big glucose spikes. The explanation from the study shows a 75% reduction in glycation. Check it out. Drink water with a tablespoon of vinegar (30 minutes before a meal) 1. Start with veggies/salad (fiber) 2. Protein + fat 3. Carbs (rice, fruit )
@@carolsarazzara Something may have been lost in the translation, but that was only a pilot study.

@@teri2466 Thanks for the additional info and clarification. I hope there will be a follow up. It would be interesting to see if when the study is scaled up and more rigorous whether food order matters at all. Works for me anyway.
Can you do a video on anti-aging for hands? I’m 30 and work as a Respiratory Therapist in a hospital and am constantly washing my hands. So I worry about premature aging especially because wrinkly hands run in my family. Thanks! - your fellow skin nerd 🤓
Any hand cream that you feel suits and sooths your hands will do for daily applications. High percentage of Urea and glycerin is usually good indicator that cream will work well skin nourishing and protecting wise. Night care is essential. Diaper rash creams are great (sooths, nourish, contain Zinc), creams with ceramides, thick and nourishing also. Vaseline based ones are also good, but on damp hands. Otherwise, oils sits on top of dry skin, doing nothing. You might want to invest in pair of hand mask gloves and to wear them several nights per week to boost the efficiency of creams and products you use on your hands. Finally, you can and should use retinol on your hands as well as a part of night routine. If any pigmentation appears, experiment with exfoliating acids as well (AHAs). For me, combination of glycerin and lime juice is great (home remedy) for brightening and nourishing. Panthenol doesn't do anything for me, but it may be great for you. Good luck!
I recently came across the Glucose Goddess videos with my husband, and I find her hacks to be quite informative. I really enjoy her videos just as much as I enjoy your videos, DOC ❤❤❤❤❤
You are an amazing doctor! You have no idea how much you have revolutionised skin care for simple people like me at home. Over last 6 months i have slowly incorporated ingredients in my routine advised by you and it has made so much difference!!! I wish your products get available worldwide soon. I am your biggest fan, follower and forever grateful to your service!
Following for years, hands down the best and most honest Derm on social media. Started using retinoids with her years ago, gentle at first and now I'm worked my way up to Tretinoin 0.025% daily. Changed my skin forever.
I smiled when the sunscreen part came up. I’m a girl living in a Nordic country where winter lasts from October to March and often stretches into April. If I can apply SPF 50 during November, December, and January-when the sun rises at 8 a.m. and sets at 4 p.m. (and I barely see it since I’m sitting in the office on workdays)-then anyone can! I really have to thank you and your educational videos for helping me build this habit. The only issue is that pharmacies don’t sell much SPF during winter because they assume people don’t need it.
Could you talk about advanced retinoid usage -the best way to layer your retinoid with vit C or glycolic acid (specifically the order of the PM routine if your at that point where you can handle these products together)?
Hi Dr. Idriss! Can you talk to us about the way to manage dark underarms? The face isn’t the only thing that people get self-conscious about when it comes to pigmentation. There are so many things on the net but which ones are and aren’t trustworthy? What’s a good routine and can we use your products for this issue? If so, how?
Not her, but the same things that work on the face should work on pits, but unlike the face armpits gather more moisture because of the touching skin, so please take that into account, that area can become more sentized when using acids but acids should help with not only skin brighting but body odor. what strength/kind is up to your own skin, I use lume/mando deodorant not for lightning ( i like the scents tbh) but I've heard it has helped with lighting, but I have also heard people using the ordinary aha toner (better priced and non-scented) for brighting.
No this is not without filters , everyone has pores no matter how incredible your skin is . May be she doesn’t realise but her camera has the inbuilt smoothness filter
@@Bh70399so you are saying’s ng your skin looks like here? Mine doesn’t and I have a great camera on my phone. I think you’re missing the point that she is not purposely hiding flaws.
@@RubyJane6904 she’s not doing it purposely but there’s clearly a smoothness filter here . I am sure she has great skin , it’s the Lebanese genes , but saying there’s no filter here is a misstatement .her face is literally blurred out due to the filter
Well,you miss one thing about letting the retinol absorbs to your skin before applying moisturizer. Like is it a myth or a truth? If it's a truth,how long do we need to wait? Cause some of us don't like to wait for at least 10 mins to finish our routune 😂
At 87, my mom has used prescription retinoids for about 40 years. Her skin has the softness & fine texture of a baby (plus age wrinkles). She tried to get me to start then, too. Alas, it irritated my skin & I wish I knew then what I know now about easing into retinoid use Lucky all you watchers of Dr Idriss videos!
Thank you! I learned to start low from YOU! I started with The Ordinary 0.2% retinol in squalene. They have 0.2, 0.5, and 1%. Then the retinal 0.2% is next. I’m tolerating the 0.2% retinol very well, will move to 0.5% and reduce frequency for a while next! I’m just 41 myself, and have found HUGE value in your content. Especially the tip about the gycolic acid and zinc cream for lips!! For someone living in Northern Canada, this is incredibly useful!
You are such an wealth of info and I love your openness and frankness!..hello from Canada..your products are a little too expensive for our week dollar :( I’m a retired woman and must watch my expenses…maybe in the future :)
Hi, I’ve been watching you for years, but I wanted to know that as a male, is there anything different that I should do? I do follow all the guidance you give; it has saved my skin. Thank you Doc ❤
At the beginning of my journey with retinol, used it on my naked neck once, and only once! Wow, the reaction was unbearable! My whole neck area was red, irritated and burning! I had to take a day off work! Not recommend without buffering 😖 So glad you’re now shipping to the UK! 🙌🙌
Using Retinol (Tretinoin 0.025%) daily for 10 days now, it's early to give any verdict. But I experienced very mild purge which isn't noticable at all. Other than that it lessened my breakouts and has made my skin smooth. So far so good.
@@mimi19932 i see i have been using for 2 years now and I am 23. I just wanted affordable and good skincare because of derms videos I got to know about this and used when I use regularly i have sensitive red and flaking after sometimes so take it slow use in very once a week u possible don't have any problem now but u may get later because every derms say this. And use Vaseline before using tretinoin on flaking parts. Just telling because I have this kind of experience.
Hi Dr Idriss ! Love your videos ! I use tretinoin on my face and around my eyes and mouth. For the the neck, I use retinal. To avoid irritation and peeling, I use the sandwich method and it goes very well.
Hi Doc❤ what are your thoughts on brands that state they do not test on animals, but still are listed as ”not cruelty free” on independent cruelty free-sites? It confuses me.❤
I use prescription 15% azelaic acid every night as it keeps my type two rosacea in check… How can I incorporate a retinoid or retinal into my nightly routine with my azelaic acid?
Can we talk about booster ingredients? Like, there's a product "cell catalyst activator" by skinceuticals, that contains a vitamin X booster ingredients
Dr. Idriss, if there's only a way to put back the rosy colour of youth back to aging skin too? Using retinoid+vit c+sunscreen makes skin even but really pale!!! Already using makeup a shade darker+blush, just wish skincare can do that too.
How can one still exfoliate ones face if you should not exfoliate and use a retinoid in the same night? If the best option is low strength every night, that leaves no nights for exfoliating
I’m loving your tips and routines for proper applications. I’m old, but this is info I’ve never known and always WANTED to know & understand. Also, love your food references today 😂 hope you can sneak a snack !
how do you recommend building up? i went from versed retinol to hyram's now bc 0.2% (few months now) and am considering incorporating the ordinary 0.5% now to slowly level up lmao
can I alternate retinol products on different days? one retinol night for A313 (which I currently use) and only 1 night of actual retinol 0.1 or other %?
Dr. Can one of your future Saturday talks be about how to incorporate chemical peels while already using your Dr. Idriss skin system plus retinal . Thanks in advance 😊
What’s your expertise opinion about The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%. I looked at ingredients and “retinoid” is about the 8th ingredient. Is it good or not. I used to use the L’Oréal “pure retinol” 0.3% in the blue bottle but stopped using when I saw that ingredient was not in the top 10 lol. Which is the best?
@@soniawootton3795 yes, the most potent. You wouldn’t want your retinol to be too potent. You don’t need to check how potent it is by the ingredient order when you know the percentage. If retinol was the first ingredient you would burn off your face.
I love Glucose Goddess! She's truly helping the world wake up to the real problems within our eating habits. The changing the order of my food and ACV has made a crazy difference to my PCOS and insulin resistance. Also these retinol tips were super helpful and I'll be looking out for your products here in the UK once taxes have come down for sure!
I am in my mid 20s. If only I see this before trying retinol, which is just last month. I started with the lowest percentage, I am using COSRX .1% retinol, I should pick .3% next if I finish that. So far there is no irritation, only that my skin feels drier than before.
Someone knows the % of retinol in the Cerave serum (white and blue bottle), they doesn't have it on their websites, and other sites claim it is 0.1% and 0.2% and 0.3%... i don't know anymore. Help
Can you judge people’s routines? Mornings: water, VIT C, peptide serum, sunscreen Night time MWF : sulfur wash, vit c, ret, moisturizer TTHS: sulfur wash, glycolic, moisturizer Sunday night: sulfur vit c peptide moisturizer
Could you *please* make a video on LPG endermology? It’s a huge thing in Europe and I have a wellbox at home and am getting great results from it, but at the same time I don’t really find any sufficiently nerdy answers on how exactly it works and why. I would just love to understand it better! ❤

I use prescription 15% azelaic acid every night as it keeps my type two rosacea in check… How can I incorporate a retinoid or retinal into my nightly routine with my azelaic acid?
Can we talk about booster ingredients? Like, there's a product "cell catalyst activator" by skinceuticals, that contains a vitamin X booster ingredients
Dr. Idriss is pure gold!!!!❤❤❤
Dr. Idriss, if there's only a way to put back the rosy colour of youth back to aging skin too? Using retinoid+vit c+sunscreen makes skin even but really pale!!! Already using makeup a shade darker+blush, just wish skincare can do that too.
Oohhh! That’s a great question!
You are awesome girl!! YES GIRL, 40 is still young 😂
Could you do a video on growth factors and exosomes please 🙏
The UK’s population is about 68 million, the EU’s is about 450 million. Please ship to the EU too!
I got my skin used to it. Now I can exfoliate with The Ordinary AHA+BHA and then put Tretinoin 0.1 on without irritation.
How can one still exfoliate ones face if you should not exfoliate and use a retinoid in the same night? If the best option is low strength every night, that leaves no nights for exfoliating
Pick one night just to exfoliate
I’m loving your tips and routines for proper applications. I’m old, but this is info I’ve never known and always WANTED to know & understand. Also, love your food references today 😂 hope you can sneak a snack !
how do you recommend building up? i went from versed retinol to hyram's now bc 0.2% (few months now) and am considering incorporating the ordinary 0.5% now to slowly level up lmao
can I alternate retinol products on different days? one retinol night for A313 (which I currently use) and only 1 night of actual retinol 0.1 or other %?
Dr. Can one of your future Saturday talks be about how to incorporate chemical peels while already using your Dr. Idriss skin system plus retinal . Thanks in advance 😊
What are your thoughts about Tretinoin? Does it work?
What’s your expertise opinion about The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%. I looked at ingredients and “retinoid” is about the 8th ingredient. Is it good or not. I used to use the L’Oréal “pure retinol” 0.3% in the blue bottle but stopped using when I saw that ingredient was not in the top 10 lol. Which is the best?
Why do you think it matters how many ingredients are before it if you know the concentration and the ingredients are good?
@@JasminMiettunen I have educated myself about skincare and it’s known the first 5 ingredients are the most potent
@@soniawootton3795 yes, the most potent. You wouldn’t want your retinol to be too potent. You don’t need to check how potent it is by the ingredient order when you know the percentage. If retinol was the first ingredient you would burn off your face.
Does buffering reduce the efficacy of the tret?
She has said no in past videos!
I love Glucose Goddess! She's truly helping the world wake up to the real problems within our eating habits. The changing the order of my food and ACV has made a crazy difference to my PCOS and insulin resistance. Also these retinol tips were super helpful and I'll be looking out for your products here in the UK once taxes have come down for sure!
My first love for sun spots in my 50s was Adapalene. Knew what i was getting and was not as confused starting out.
May I ask what you use now?
I am in my mid 20s. If only I see this before trying retinol, which is just last month. I started with the lowest percentage, I am using COSRX .1% retinol, I should pick .3% next if I finish that. So far there is no irritation, only that my skin feels drier than before.
Yay 😀 shipping to U.K. wow 🤩 amazing!! Finally, so happy 😀 thank you 🙏🏽
So excited for you to try! 🫶
what’s the difference between Tret cream and gel? I find the gel dries so quickly I have to buffer it with something first.
I just got my first tret prescription yesterday, so this is perfect timing.
Someone knows the % of retinol in the Cerave serum (white and blue bottle), they doesn't have it on their websites, and other sites claim it is 0.1% and 0.2% and 0.3%... i don't know anymore. Help
Dr. Idriss, can you please do a coq10 (topical) video next?
Hello Dr. Idriss! I use Tretinoin .01 percent. Can I alternate with a retinoid please?
Tretinoin is a retinoid, your question is not clear
Can you judge people’s routines?
Mornings: water, VIT C, peptide serum, sunscreen
Night time MWF : sulfur wash, vit c, ret, moisturizer
TTHS: sulfur wash, glycolic, moisturizer
Sunday night: sulfur vit c peptide moisturizer
Could you *please* make a video on LPG endermology? It’s a huge thing in Europe and I have a wellbox at home and am getting great results from it, but at the same time I don’t really find any sufficiently nerdy answers on how exactly it works and why. I would just love to understand it better! ❤
Best skin care products ever !!!! Customer service is superb. ❤
Hopefully your products will be shipped to Croatia soon! I am dying to get my hands on the major fade bundle 😃
Hi dr. Idriss, can I use a serum which has 2% alpha Arbuthnot + niacinamide + HA to my 0.1% retinol. I'm a beginner. Thank you 😊
I'm using Good Molecules 0.1% retinol and finally (after 20 years!) I found the one that doesn't tear up my face! 😊
When are you going to come up with a face cream with spf? That would be a great option to ensure I do use spf and I would love it to have a 50 spf!
