Never going back to Beauty vloggers !
Me too they get spoensers
I will watch 1 or 2 channels of the most conservative ones, since I need to learn the techniques of applying makeup (w/o going crazy overboard 🤡like majority of YTubers) No longer a spring chicken as when I wore only moisturizer 4 decades, I now lack skills most other women my age have practiced 4 years w makeup. I should have practiced, but I hate that feel of stuff on my face..It's hard getting used to sunscreen even, but I've had multiple skin cancers on face, chest, trunk, neck, legs, one a big threat to my eye cause I let it go so long. Looking 4 a derm doc now -- another bad place on chest & my PS retired 4 years ago. The woman derm doc I want, makes U fill out health history online. 😞🌝🏜
These people keep confusing us at one time they recommend something then later on they back fire🤔
@@batbarasobczak351 Clean up your English and spelling, then come back and see if you can make some sense. I'm not laughing at your mistakes,, although you think someone else's misfortune is funny.
Same!!!
I let the cosmetic industry scam for years until I found you 😭. Thank you so much! ❤️🤗😊
The CeraVe night cream works SO WELL for reducing peeling. I’ve been using Retin A for almost 5 years now. It cured my acne and keeps my skin looking great now! I use my prescription retin a one night and the Cera Ve night cream the next night.
Jess R cera ve is sooo gooood!!!!
did you burn . I use 6 night straight and the 7th night i use gycolic acid AHA and stings and burn hell . In the end i decide to stop AHA and continue tretinoin .
@@stupidbugdie7684 I look into it but i cant find a supplier for it . Do you know how many percentage of retinol in it . Im looking for at least 1%
Komatsu Sakura retin a will make your skin burn in the beginning and even still does to me if I put it on while my skin is wet or don’t moisturize before or I use more than 2-3 times a week, even that is to much sometimes. As far as a I know there isn’t any CeraVe with retinol, I get my retin a from my family doctor
@@jesskarose2446 i did first week 6 days . day 7 gycolic day there were my burn starts . at the end i decided to give up gycolic for tretinoin
This is the most comprehensive retinoid/retinol video ever! Thank you!
I changed dermatologist recently and he put me on a completely different skin care routine. I was on Tazorac and my acne just kept getting worse after 6 weeks almost. He changed me to Adapalene, benzoyle peroxide wash (neutrogena) wash in the mornings and salicylic acid was at night and Doxycycline antibiotics...oh and NO MOISTURIZER because he said my skin was already oily. When I heard him say that I said "um no, you don't know what you're talking about. I NEED moisturizer". I feel so bad for questioning him because my skin is nearly pimple free after ONE WEEK. I never in a million years thought my skin could handle no moisturizer lol. I will be apologizing in our follow up visit :) So absolutely grateful for all you amazing dermatologists!!
:) glad to hear Ms Marianela
I just seen my dermatologist today. He said the REAL retinol will cost $50.00 to $70.00. Then I read that retinol can possibly cause dryness, peeling, etc. I JUST got down an awesome skin care routine. I mean is this REALLY necessary. I don’t want to interrupt my ROSACEA, DRY, and HYPERSENSITIVE skin. I don’t want to go through MORE dryness, sensitivity, peeling, etc etc. ugh! Too much high maintenance.
Thanks. You should do a video on the best retinal drugstore products?
So much information, holy crap! I haven't been to a dermatologist in close to twenty years (I know, I know), and through watching your videos, I feel much less out of the loop. I also feel like I could predict what their recommendations for me would be and have an intelligent discussion with them about skincare ;)
Also, would you mind reviewing Erin's Faces Peptide SPF 30? They're an indie brand and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Thank you for this video!! I sometimes put moisturizer under my tretiinoin, but I was wondering does applying moisturizer under tretinoin decrease the effectiveness of tretinoin for anti-aging? I was considering doing it every night because I really like to moisturize. If not, does moisturizing over tretinoin decrease the anti-aging effectiveness?
I love your videos. You really make me want to live a more healthy life!🌞 Thanks for sharing and inspiring change, I needed it!
Thanks!
Can you do a review of Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair? I was curious about it and really trust your reviews!
There has been some worrying side effects to Retin A... just be aware everyone and do your in -depth research :) hair loss, dizziness, blurred vision.. etc x
Yesterday video "Skin care product reviews" shows as private I am unable to see it. Not sure if that was on purpose... And by the way, I truly enjoy your videos, information, and particularly your sense of humor. Keep them coming. :)
my videos go live at noon EST every day...so wait for that one, it is there, but not due today
Thank you for the information, and keep them coming. Thank you for all the great information and sense of humor :) Love your mom, she is so cute.
Would you recommend Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate or Bakuchiol for sensitive skin?
I want to start using Differin for anti-aging purposes. Do most people purge from using this product? My goal is to get prescribed tretinoin, but I’m not sure if a dermatologist will prescribe it to me. Also, what are the reasons that a dermatologist won’t prescribe tretinoin to a patient? Thanks!
I am starting to really lookfward to your talks.
Are there some people that just cannot tolerate retinol? I first tried Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair a few years ago. After 2 or 3 uses, it left little itchy bumps all over my face. My skin looked like an orange peel and it took over a month for it to return to its normal state. Many months later I started using an oil that I did not realize contained retinyl palmitate. The same thing happened after less than a week of use - a face covered in small itchy bumps that turned into orange peel skin. It took many weeks for my skin to return to normal. Could I possibly be allergic to retinol?
How is your skin now ? Did you get enlarged pores problem with it ? Did it go away ? I have this issue I am afraid it is permanent please answer me (what did you do to your skin in order for it to go back normal ? ) Thank you
@jajarounette95 Yes, it took several weeks, but my skin went back to normal completely! I did not use any actives, exfoliants (no vitamin c, acids, etc.) or anything harsh. Just a very gentle cleanser, Dr. Jart Ceramidin Liquid twice a day, moisturizer, sunscreen during the day and added in an argan facial oil at night. Just gentle, moisturizing, soothing products. Your skin will recover! 😊
@jajarounette95 Also, no I never got enlarged pores luckily.
Thank you Dr. Dray. Hope you have a wonderful Easter 🐣 weekend. Xoxo roseingeorgia
happy friday!
Dr Dray you should win an award for all the effort you put into informing the general public and sharing health-related information with us. It is very helpful and I appreciate everything you do. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks!
Thanks once again for a very helpful video WITHOUT sponsors and bias.
Dr dray thank you so much for this information, I tried my best not to get confused with all this information since they all sound the same.
Thank you for the person who summarized the names of all the products she mentioned, I was trying to find it in the comment box then I saw your summary :)
Thank you very much for the knowledge, Dr. Dray! Notes taken: Retinoic Acid derivatives: Retinoin/Retin-A (the most effective anti-aging); Tazarotene/Tazorac (effective, irritating); Adapeline/Differin(effective for acne, not that effective for anti-aging); Retinol (not active, less effective). Happy weekend!
:)
what is tretinoin?
I loved how you summarized the video!
Tretonin is the generic name for Retin A
Thank you for the summarize of the video 👍
I took your advice of moisturizing first and then applying retin a. It has really decreased the peeling. Thank you so much!
:) glad to hear
damn i did it wrong lol i applied retinol on dry skin then that but luckily this retinol i use has not caused peeling
@@purplegum1383 retinol and retin-a are two different things. Retinol is more bland and doesn't need a prescription. Still need to use spf tho!
Same
I started doing the moisturizer before the retin A as you suggested and it made a huge difference in cutting down the irritation factor. Thanks Dr. Dray!
so glad to hear! hope you and the fam have a great easter
Happy Easter!
Dr Dray I like to mix my RetinA together at the same time with Cerave moisturizing cream. Any thoughts??
Bev Sivert Hi. Which moisturizer do you use? What % retin a?
Yes Bev ..I followed Dr drays tips for adaplene and faced v less irritation and burning
At last a dermatologist that explains to us 'mortals' that non prescription skincare cannot penetrate the dermis, i can only thank you for your honesty, all these myths are costing us so much money. I really wish there were more so called experts that take the same approach as you.
:)
Yeah i use naiacinamide and glycolic but those work on the surface. Thank god retinol is now available OTC in the UK and EU as well as America
Edit: going to stop using the glycolic when i start differin
If you try to point out these facts on those videos, their followers come and attack you. People will do just anything to believe that 'natural' crap works
@@rajnandinichatterjee2212 actually you happen to be the uneducated one. Most pharma can't penetrate our skin because the molecules are too large. Yet there is science backing many natural oils that penetrate the skin because their molecules are small. Remember pharma has only been around for just over 100 years. Yet Egyptians had beautiful skin 1000s of years ago and they used these natural oils! Get educated!
@@jet6110 'karen'
Dr Dray, please talk about limitations of Curology!
Shame on those who thumbs down Dr Dray,s videos. I can't believe some one would do such thing. She is giving an excellent professional advice for free. Now come on guys.
I have been binge watching your channel all weekend. Every 30 minutes or so I walk to my bathroom and throw away a product. As a few minutes ago the place was almost empty. Lol. Thank you! I have been saved.
:)
Just Li I
Same! I know this is an old comment but I ended up throwing away $200+ of korean skin care I just bought can’t return from using it.
"you know anti-aging is a lie, you cant...you cant anti ageyyyyyyy" LOL love you 3000 doctor :)
I must say, my vocabulary has improved by watching your videos. 👏🏼
:)
You say that Differin/Adapalene is low in anti-aging effects, but how low are they? Are they more like a retinol or retinaldehyde?
Hooked on you and your videos♥️ Would you please review the ZO Skin Health for us? It’s recommended by estheticians (not dr.s I realize).
I followed your Retinol advice and routine and my skin is the best it's ever been. I didn't experience peeling either thanks to your moisturizer recommendations. Thank you so much.
so glad to hear :)
@@DrDrayzday is eurea 10% from eubos good to use before 0.025%?
The “well hey guys!” Is always my favorite part, so enthusiastic 😂❤️
Once again you slay the skincare information!! Always honest and straightforward!! Thank you 😊
Happy Easter Weekend🐇
happy friday!
I seriously love these videos. You’re amazing 😉
thanks
What if one were stop using retinoid/retin-a? Would the fine lines come back even if you do nothing (like go out in the sun w/o spf) to produce new fine lines?
Jessy Kane aging for sure continues. Time is on going so yess you want to continue use for continuous results
Can i use glycolic and salicylic acid face wash while using tretinoin?
Well I feel like a dummy I have spent thousands of dollars in skin care like drunk elephant, clarins and much more. Been watching all your videos I bought diffren gel and Burt’s bees sensitive wash let’s see if this will keep my skin as good as the stuff I have spent thousands on haha
Update?
Sierra Fuchs I have to be honest I went cheap and noticed my skin got worse with texture and dryness. I Do LOVE the Burt’s bees sensitive face wash I like it much better than others I have tried so I will keep using it. I’m going a different route now I went to my dermatologist and she recommend Skin Ceuticals and Avene. So the only thing I’m using now is Burt’s bees sensitive face wash, skin ceuticals AGE eye complex, Avene A-Oxitive < day night> Avene retrin.1 and drunk elephants protini polypeptide cream. And always my Elta MD elements sunscreen. My skins texture and my dark circles are going away again. I’m 39 and have dry skin, darkness under eyes, some fine lines on forehead. Hope this helps
@@JulyRobbins so the differin just didn't work for you? What have you been using by skin cuticles?
Hi Dr. Dray! Great channel! Very informative. I just have one question though about Differin gel. I see everyone using 0.1% Adapalene all the time but what about the 0.3% one? Which one is better?
You are really doing amazing things for community health! Go on girl! Go head get down ! ❤️
Thanks!
Tretinoin can be bought in Brazil for less than $15 over the counter. Just gonna wait to buy there when I go visit my family. I even have a prescription but it is not accepted here.
Loren de Azevedo Barreto dear I’m in Brazil 🇧🇷
I bought my 50rais
Lily X what prescription dear
Obrigada pela dica.
Comprei o vitacid XT depois desse vídeo (sem receita). 1 mg/g por R$ 60 bonoros e é mais eficiente que retinol cosmético. amo essa mulher!
You’re so awesome. You’re so educated and I just love your videos. I appreciate your intelligence so much (even though I use and stash all the expensive skincare items you say are marketing ploys hahaha)
Excellent video much appreciated
thanks for watching!
I love your ending “don’t forget sunscreen & subscribe “. It’s really good to know the facts and try and not fall for all the hype about anti aging products. I could have saved a lot of 💰! Hope you are seeing bluebonnets. Thanks 🤗🐇
Thanks!
My thought is Differin can actually help one adapt to Retin-A if you've not used it before as well. Thanks for the tips and info. as always.
:) happy friday Ms Nicole
I just ordered Differin yesterday, your videos have been a huge help :) im really excited but ill stop using my glycolic a few days before to reduce chances of overexfoliating.
And how it is going?
I started using a new product and I didn't realize it had retinol in it, because they refer to it as retinyl palmitate. Well, I use benzoyl peroxide on my skin, as well as, products containing AHAs. I now have little tiny bumps all over my jawline and part of my neck, andy face is on fire
I loved this- i watched someone on youtube who said that every retinol causes dna damage due to sunlight-and i panicked! Now im re-assured that its fine- thank goodness for your help in keeping us in the loop! Have a great week x
Wow what did they mean by that, what is the damage done on dna? (Even if it's not correct, just wondering what they meant) thank you
When a woman wants her Retin-a a flash flood will not deter her! I used the Neutrogena Night Repair and it got my skin ready for Retin-a. They both helped my skin...a lot.
Happy Easter Dr. D xxoo
Happy Easter
What Retin A do you use?
Can u do a video on aging hands please 😊xx
YES! And the different filler options etc.
Juliana Merz she already has a video done on fillers 😊
PLEASE!!!!! 🖖🏼🤘🏻🤞🏼✌🏼
Geraldine Gallagher Hi. I use tretinoin on the back of my hands every night s well as on my face. I also use a moisturizing sunscreen (Eucerin Daily Hydration Creme with SPF 30) on my hands whenever I step out the door. At 70, I have only one very small brown spot on my hands and my skin is very smooth. Cheers!
She's gonna tell you to apply sunscreen to the backs of your hands! ;)
i'm using tretinoin every other day for acne w/ 0 peeling and i find this video v helpful!
glad to hear this!
Tadashi Stark how did you get it??
S al my dermatologist prescribed it to me, but if you go to your doctor i’m sure that they can prescribe it to you
@@stupidbugdie7684 what step is tretinoin is?
@@sal6275 u can get it from reliable rx pharmacy
I’ve been on retin a 0.25 for two full weeks and I’m not getting any flaking or peeling. I use cerave cleanser, then cerave moisturizer, wait 15 before using retin a, I’m wondering if I’m doing it right?
Dr., is retinol 1% too strong for people in their early 20s with oily skin like me? Is it effective for preventing acne?
Yesss it is tooo strong try 0.025% tretinoin first also just a pea sized amount
I have dry (but pretty thick tan skin) and I started with 1% retinol without any irritation or peeling. It's different for everyone. Maybe try it over a moisturizer like doctor said.
Can u plz recommend best retin a products ??
how many minutes to dry the moisturizer prior to put Tretinoin?
Dr Dray would you recommend using The Ordinary niacinamide while using tretinoin?
So basically Differin/Adapeline is the only semi-effective version that can be purchased over the counter in the US? But it’s not nearly as effective as Retin-A? :(
I wish Retin-A was more easily accessible.
Melanie Villarreal I honestly started using Retinol oil from neutrogena a couple days before Christmas and it’s done wonders already for my skin! I use it in conjunction with a good eye cream and moisturizer.
Dr. Dray, first of all thank you for all that you do for the community here who is interested in these matters, and those of us who care about truly taking care of the health of our skin and our bodies
I've been watching you for a few months, now subscribed. I have one question for Dr Dray and if anyone else can answer it, from what she has recommended, regarding it, I would so appreciate it and here is my question:
Seems like I heard our Dr Dray say the other day when listening to one of these videos on Retin-A that you can apply your moisturizer BEFORE the Retin-A. Is this true?? I was always told that the Retin-A *must* be applied first to allow it to go down into one's skin, then wait 15 or 20 minutes until it is absorbed, before putting one's moisturizer on ..(or any other product)
Which is correct?
THANK YOU SO MUCH if you can answer, since I'm dizzy from searching and researching the videos to find the one sentence about moisturizer --*before or after.*
Thank you to anyone who can tell me what Dr Dray recommends on this 🌅
I'm not sure about retin-A but she has a video about adapalene (Differin) where she says to put moisturizer on wet skin (after washing-not with SA) and wait for it to dry, then after your face is dry apply a pea size amount of adapalene avoiding the area around the eyes, nose and mouth (she put an ointment on those areas before the adapalene in the video). I think the same would apply since she said that they're both active forms but I'm not sure. 🤷
How can someone get Trenonin without any skin issues like acne? Can I just go to a dermatologist and just ask for it?
Yes. Or get it online from international drug stores.
I love your videos so much. You help people so much more than you will ever know. I just came back from Florida, in years past would have been baking in the sun. This time I sat in the shade, with a big hat, loads of sunscreen and have never been happier. Retin A, loads of sunscreen and Dr Dray are a winning combo! Thanks again, Anne
:)
Hi doc! Is long-term use of differin and salicylic acid safe? (For purposes of acne prevention since i have a very oily and acne-prone skin) Thanks!
Happy Sunday Dr. Dray! I really want to give Tretinoin a try. I have read that it may cause liver toxicity. Have you came across any studies that express such toxicities?
Is it true during pregnancy it's very harmful?
I’m not sure if this is normal, but I get small pimples under my skins whenever I use anything with Retinol. Should I continue using this class of products or is it just not for my skin?
Same thing with me.
I've been using A313 Vitamin A Pommade. I order it from France. Any thoughts on this one Andrea?
i am not familiar with it
For anyone paying cash for a Tretinoin prescription at the pharmacy here in the US, Google Good Rx! They have coupons for it that save you like 75%off the price. All major pharmacies accept these coupons. I got mine filled at Kroger, regular cost was $212. With my coupon I paid $56😊
Thanks Jessica 💜
Dr. Dray, you're the best! I love watching your videos. And since I started watching your channel two weeks ago you got me to start using sunscreen. I live in Italy and here it's still commonly seen as a very strange thing to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. Now I only wish I'd started sooner!
Thanks! Glad to hear you are enjoying and hope you had a lovely weekend
Haha this comment reminds me when we went to Italy my sister was so serious about using her sunscreen that she had a white ashy look. And people would stare at her all the time and even a cashier said "not good" 😅😅😅
Hey Dr D! I was wondering if I can use Retin-A if I'm 25 and am just suffering from very old acne scarring and blemishes and dark under-eye circles? Is it too early for me? I already use the CeraVe PM and am thinking of starting Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair, but I am scared to use Retin-A as I have read things about it aging skin prematurely? Can you please answer this?
Looking after my skin with good routine of retin a and sunscreen and good mostrizer running into old school friends they say wow you have looked after yourself ask how old I am and always get told I don't look my age I look at them and think if ya only looked after your skin many of them look older then there 40s
:)
I purchased the aquaphor lip balm you recommended and omg it is FABULOUS!! THANK YOU😊😊
Thanks for discussing Obagi. I am headed towards buying a few of their products to try. I've heard good things.
Dr. Dray: an article I read said that using tretinoin too early in life may cause cells to reproduce at a rate that depletes skin cells’ ability to reproduce later in life because there is only a finite number of times that cells can divide. Basically the article inferred that using tretinoin in your twenties means that you will use up your skin cells’ ability to naturally duplicate in the future and will cause issues for your skin in your 50s and 60s. Do you have any reason to believe this to be the case? Thank you!
2010Elinor that’s called the hayflick limit and supposedly skin cells aren’t affected by it. Read this info: thebeautybrains.com/2014/04/does-exfoliating-make-you-run-out-of-skin-the-beauty-brains-show-episode-24/ it’s very easy to read and quite interesting !
Following
@MaRiiMcR thank you so much for the article; that explanation of undifferentiated cells makes sense. Thanks for that resource!
My skin is terrible and I’m only 19, would it be ok for skin like mine that is super prone to wrinkles and had less collagen?
Dr. Dray should I choose tretinoin cream over gel ? is one better than the other? I have been using tretinoin 0.05% for over 3 years but I have increased to tretinoin 1% recently.
I want to know which is better for oily skin etc and which % she uses, a cream or gel
I have a couple of requests/questions:
1: Will you do a review/look over for me on NutriBiotic Face cream?
2:What is the best under-eye moisturizer?
Is there anything that should not be mixed with or used in combination with Tretinoid?
Nevermind! Joust found the answer in one of your other videos.
16:04 what about difference in stability? My tretinoin from my doctor is stored in a fridge, while I guess Obagi don't do that. And stability of Retinol in regular over the counter products, with storage times in warehouses and shipping times etc, isn't that degraded by the time it arrives at your house?
Very informative! There’s another question 😊 would that be useful to alternate tretinoin with a retinol or with adapalene, each night one? I know they work on different receptors so just wondering if that would be useful ... thank you
My Dr. Dray binge continues! :) thank you for such incredibly helpful information. One question on tretinoin... is using it once a week for a few weeks a good idea or does it just prolong the peeling stages? Is it better to start 2-3 times a week to speed through the peeling/irritation phase?
it can be used that way and makes the peeling easier to tolerate/less aggressive
How do you feel about applying Apple Cider Vinegar to the skin ?? is it a healthy natural exfoliant ? I only use it when I mix it with a clay mask, is that safe ??
it is not good
I would love a video or just some of your thoughts on Hylunia products. Thank you so much for your time and energy!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Dr Dray, I live in Japan and we have Obagi Serums, I would love to hear your opinion about them. Thank you so much!
Good morning Dr Dray, may I know why some of the Tretinoin stated as each gram contains Tretinoin 0.5mg ? But the packaging listed as 0.05% of Tretinoin. I’m a little bit confused
There are 1000mg in 1g (not 100mg in a g, so you move the decimal point one place further), so 0.5mg per gram would work out to 0.05%.
I was told by my pharmacist to mix Niacinamide with Tretinoin. It really helps quite a bit 😉
Yes @lina mondrele niacinamide is the friend that everyone wants to have lol
Butter Fly_Girl what is it for
I had a superheavy adult acne and that was my story:
1. Differin+benzoyl peroxide 3 month helped,but I stopped to soon and in a couple of month I had the most terrible period of acne. It was my huge mistake
2. Obagi tretinoin 0.05 and 0.1 helped,it took half a year. Also used obagi benzoyl peroxide,cleanser,hydroquinone and calycilic acid pads
3. ZO Skin health retinol(brightenex 0.5)+ vitamin c+ZO power defence didn't help much
Other products I used:invisapeel and sulphur mask
Obagi unfortunately made my skin super dehydrated,sensitive and kind of handicapped even though it was all prescribed by a dermatologist
Azelaic acid derivative(azelamide MEA 10%),soft cleansers and moisturizers made my skin a way better than that and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
In my opinion Obagi cleansers are too harsh and stripping plus acids and retinol result in bad skin condition. But this is my personal experience and honest opinion only
You're peeling peeling 😭😂😂😂

Brooke Harmon that’s a perfect age to start
I’m 25 and also started at age 24
@@lightforlittles9350 I'm 22 and I started this routine a couple months ago :)
Thanks y’all! The dermatology appointment has been made 😂🥳
Side effects ? What about those side effects coz I used hydroquinone for 1 year but my skin is completely wrinkled and I stopped used it from 1 year can I use it now?
supriya do you see any results from haydroquinon
Love watching you ! Could you please, please do a video on broken capillaries? Oh please???? The truth about what truly works to get rid of them off the face and a price range on treatment. Thank you!
Hugs!
Thanks! I have done one
If I was paying attention hahahaha.... I saw that video after . Great information!!!!! Thank you so much 😀
I’m experiencing adult acne at 26, my friend recommended this retina a and yeah it’s so effective for me. I’m using celeteque moisturiser (waterbased) biore sun screen, human nature rose hip oil to lessen the redness.
Are you still using the retinoid?
Do you have an opinion on Curology? Seems like an affordable way to get tretinoin, but I don't see their inactive ingredients listed anywhere on the website!
Kathleen McNutt I just subscribed to Cureolgy and found the inactive ingredients on their website. I think you can Google "Cureolgy inactive ingredients" and the page should come up. Let me know if you can't find it and I can try to send a link. Cureolgy also has a UA-cam channel if you want to learn more. I'm excited to try it as I can't afford the prescription Tretinoin and Finacea.
I’m thinking about trying it when I finish my Differin if I don’t see results soon!!!
I just got my first bottle from curology, I'm on my first week on it and no irritation so far 😁
I’ve been on it for a month (on 2nd bottle) or so and feel it is working quite well.
Winn Carter well I'm glad to hear that. I can't wait to see results in a few months.
Doctor I find your vlogs invaluable. One question. I have ice picks, rolling and box scars. I started using retin a just recently and initially it helped with the scars but now the scars appear really big and pores are getting huge..I am very depressed. Why do you think that's happening ?
How is your skin now ?? I have texture problems too… after using it my pire on my inner cheeks are bigger
I'm going to try Curology (not affiliated), I've used Retin-A before so I know my skin loves it.
Hi Dr. Dray
You rock! I'm a 50 yr old woman who's tacking 20mg of Isotretinoin every other day to control my hormonal acne. I want to use Retin-A to combat wrinkles. Would this be ok? It's so not fair to suffer from both acne and wrinkles!!
Thanks
Thanks You! I’m starting with retin-a for the first time tonight 🌛 Always appreciate your fact based information! 🌻 xo Stacy
:)
Can u use a retin a and niacinamide at the same time ? I want to reduce oiliness and also reverse damage at the same time
I believe so as that’s what I’ve been prescribed
Dr dray your videos are so helpful. thank you so much.I love your minimalist approach to skin care.Based on science. No nonsense,no bias, no sponsor.And such a great sense of humor. you are the best !
My words exactly!!:-)
What can the Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream with retinol do for my skin? I don't have wrinkles but will it make my pores smaller and get rid of my acne marks?
Such informative information on this topic. I enjoy hearing you talk about it. I need to stop diagnosing myself and get to a dermatologist to see what will benefit my skin issues.
Hi again thank you for all your information. How do you feel about curology and apostrophe. They offer an online consultation (telemed) and order tretinoin creams in various strengths. Do you know anything about these groups or anyone who has utilized them.
