The best explanation of Retinoids I’ve ever seen. Thanks Claire and Trinny for educating women so well and helping us all make good choices with our skincare! Love you guys!
WOW this is exactly what we need to hear . THANK YOU thank you thank you Claire and Trinny for the clearing up of all the marketing confusion and smokescreens that are used to sell us products. Brilliant !!!
It’s a minefield. After a lot of research I’m using Geek and Gorgeous retinal, which is the most affordable I’ve found for retinal. I haven’t found it too irritating I use the 0.1% strength (they also do a 0.05%) and it’s vegan and cruelty free. I’m happy with the price and quality of the product.
Brilliant video!!! Claire put a complicated subject in easy to understand terms and a great diagram. This is information that so many people need to know. Thanks Claire and Trinny 🥰
Trinny thank you. I’ve been using Paulas choice 1% retinol for 18 months now and it’s good but I wanted a step up as I have hyperpigmentation but don’t particularly want to start going down the prescription route. I bit the bullet after watching this and invested in Medik8 retinoate. It’s very expensive (although I got money off for first time purchase) and worth every penny. Too soon to tell Re hyperpigmentation but my skin is baby soft and glowing!
I totally trust your advice re: anti aging products Trinny, I showed you to my bf (who's 30), he thought I was lying when I mentioned your age 😁, you're my inspiration for aging well and maintaining a youthful appearance ❤️.
What are some brands that are HPRetinoate that I can research? Did she mention any? I know they are $$, but most effective, least irritating and most innovative. I want to review some options. Thanks.
Can anyone explain why you should buy a Retinol, like No7, Sunday Riley, or those others in that segment displayed here, instead of Tretinoin (which is much cheaper)? They all irritates the skin she says. I buy that the Retinoate (the new technology) is better, as no irritation but still effective and that RetinAL is milder if you have sensitive skin. Still I do not understand the benefits they talk about and not using Tretinoin for antiaging? Also, the peeling, which you get with Tretinoin is part of the re-newing of skin and thereby also good for erasing already existing fine lines and prevent wrinkles to be created. Isn't that what antiaging is about? (apart from stimulating/boosting collagen, which I assume they all do, more of less) I mean if there is no peeling from those other segments, or the newest technology ones, then how will skin be renewed? I am confused.
I use Tretinoin every third day + SPF 50 religiously and am 21, about to be 22. Preventative skincare is everything. However, diet and exercise is most important. I agree with you and don't understand why she says the Tretinoin will damage your skin barrier eventually and your skin will say "I've had enough"?!?! People have been using Tretinoin since their 20s, 30-40 years ago and they have amazing skin today. It is a life long product really. I'll trust Dr. Dray here on UA-cam and actual doctors/dermatologists.
Hmmm I have been using prescription strength Tretinoin for over 20 yrs since my early 20s and i get compliments all the time on my skin when folks know how old i am…i dont think you can get those kinds of results with the OTCs
I agree. I use Tretinoin as well. Personally, I think it's kind of a selling tool, as vitamin A is not expensive per se, but it's the regulations and they cannot sell Tretinoin over the counter, so they have to do these "converting creams", sometimes overpriced, especially when you know that the main ingredient is not expensive itself, and the creams really aren't that effective att all. I don't know much about the latest technology they talked about (the one with good strength and effeciancy and no irritations) though, but it sounded promising, the pricing I assume will propbably be ridiculosly high. I do not get irritations from Tretinoin, my skin still do flake sometimes, but in a good way and skin is always smooth and hydrated when on Tretinoin, and I use it 4/week and blend it with a neutral moisturizer. So ladies, if you do not want to pay a fortune for anti aging creams, Tretinoin is a good alternative, but you have to start slow, especially if having sensitive skin.
@@alicew3563 yes yes yes!!!! I so agree with everything in your comment! I'm 21, about to be 22 and have been using Tretinoin every third day for a while now and of course SPF50+ RELIGIOULY every day. I'm a bit annoyed with the woman's comment "eventually tretinoin will destroy your skin barrier and say I've had enough". All these derivative products accumulate to a waste of money and poor efficacy. The tretinoin I use is AUD65 for 50mL which is quite dear for a cream of that size however, when taking into account brands like Sunday Riley and the amount of money you'd spend on their products to see any results...it's a bargain. Anyhow, I'll trust doctors/dermatologists over these guys here any day...
I love your entrance, gets my attention and my heart racing- haha! Ok I think I need to start retinol, I’m 51, and seeing wrinkles around my eyes when I smile. Thanks for all the info on this
Granactive retinoid 2% emulsion was my fave until retinoids were disallowed in Canada. Felt lovely and I had no irritation when using it. I believe the granactive products from The Ordinary are Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) - Brandon Truaxe, the late founder of Deciem, promoted skincare options that offered minimal irritation/inflammation (though admittedly sold some other products like direct acids or other retinoid forms that were more irritating due to market demand).
My grandma uses for 70 years a cream with retinyl well it did something good because she is almost 90 years old and everyone thinks she is at least 25 years younger she has almost no wrinkles 😮 i can count 4 small ones around her eyes when she laughing 😮 and her lips couple wrinkels but she does not use the cream on her lips ...she is the oldest in our family with less wrinkles then people that are half her age 😮the other thing that i think also helped she always stayed out of the sun..she never smoked or drunk alcohol . She washing her face morning and evening and puts here creme on i wish i knew her secret years ago one day I was like how do you keep looking so young grandma me being 30 years then she said well i dont know only thing i do for ass long as i can remember is..... My Soul just died inside after spending for years so much money on skincare 😢
what about Differin gel? Adapolene gel. How effective does that fit into the diagragm. I like that you drew this out. Makes more sense this way to me now. Also, do you know if topical Retinoids cause hair loss? I have heard they can and wondering about this.
Adapalene is a different active ingredient to retinoids. In my experience it is gentle, less irritating, but also less effective when it comes to treating acne, but also when ot comes to anti-aging. The effects vary by formula but i would generally place it between retinyl (palmitate) and retinol.
@@sadiakhattak1918 One all around good product is Paulas choice retinol! It is strong, so you should start with a low amount once a week and see how your skin reacts. The goal from there is to use it up to 2-3 times a week. (some might up it to once every day) Depending where you live, this could be done as a treatment during the winter for example. Always use minimum spf30, especially when using a retinol, because the skin is exfoliating and thus the outer skin layer is thinner.
@@ilyak8987 thank you do much . I sm currently using .025 percent retinol in dermitica prescription because of acne issue earlier . What percentage of retinol i look for in Paula choice please
I suffer with dry skin .. the skin around my mouth can even become so sore with dryness. I have been using a Retinol oil (Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair) once a day, every 2 or 3 days, and am finding it is drying out my skin even more! (Dry skin = more wrinkles!!). Help!!
I love Claire so straight talking 💚
That woman is amazing. Thanks for sharing her with us, Trinny! 🥰 I’m now worried about using my 1% retinol by Paula’s choice.
The best explanation of Retinoids I’ve ever seen. Thanks Claire and Trinny for educating women so well and helping us all make good choices with our skincare! Love you guys!

Gosh I love when you bring Claire in to these videos!!!
Claire is fantastic at explaining, I actually understand it all now ….thank you 😃
Trinny, that's the nicest makeup on you like a soft smokey eye and the sequins are fab 💖
Loved it. Best explanation on retinoid family. More videos with Claire please (including Trinny!) 😊
That was a terrific explanation! We all need a copy of Claire’s visual!
Clare is amazing Trinny. Thank you for this. Can we ask what Clare’s routine is? Her skin is wonderful xxx
Thank you soooo much for this!!!!!!
Again Claire explained it great!
Clare is a star. Thank you for your clear explanation.

That was the clearest explanation I have received. I am so impressed
Your show years ago was awesome! I never got to see all of it. You haven't aged!
Thank you. Very informative info. I have heard about bakuchiol is a new retinal ingredient. How does it fit into this conversation? Many thanks
Such a helpful video. Thank you - love the visuals!
Trinny thank you. I’ve been using Paulas choice 1% retinol for 18 months now and it’s good but I wanted a step up as I have hyperpigmentation but don’t particularly want to start going down the prescription route.

Loved this! Could you also do one on hyaluronic acids? You can call it the “beauty demystifying sessions” 😉
I totally trust your advice re: anti aging products Trinny, I showed you to my bf (who's 30), he thought I was lying when I mentioned your age 😁, you're my inspiration for aging well and maintaining a youthful appearance ❤️.
Great video! Claire is brilliant and so good at explaining things!
Thank you for this great picturing!!!! It is sooooo much easier to understand.
Brilliant! Love Claires jacket- where is it from? Xxxxxxxxx x

So was the unnamed one Elizabeth Arden ceramides capsules?
Great video...finally understood the ingredients👏👏👏
This was an excellent video! Very informative and easy to understand on a very complicated subject.thank you! ❤️
Very clear and helpful. I’ll be coming back to this!!
Wow, I didn't know anything about Retinols. Very informative!
Really helpful. However I am confused with the 0.3% figure.... Poppy Austin retinol cream states 2.5% active retinol. Is that possible?
Fantastic explanation by Claire
I love your entrance, gets my attention and my heart racing- haha! Ok I think I need to start retinol, I’m 51, and seeing wrinkles around my eyes when I smile. Thanks for all the info on this
Thank you for this. Very informative. Claire is fab x
Absolutely fantastic! 😘
Hi, I'm surprised you didn't mention The ordinary, I remember when you first went to there shop and brought lots of things.

Clear video. One addition to Indeed labs retinol surface, this contains both hpr and retinol. According to inci list
This was SOOO helpful - thank you!!!
Brilliant!!!! Keep doing these videos please ♥️
FINALLY! I get it. Thank you both so much!
Trinny you look radiant, lovely make up
Claire is great. More please!
What is adapalene ?
Thank you so much for this Video. Can we get a Video about Vitamin C? - That would be great. :)
There is one!
Never heard it explained so well thanks.

What’s the full name of the Avene retinal please ?
Wwooow thanks so much this was sooo informative 😊 👍
What about the vegan ones like ageless bare minerals I use the night concentrate 10% phyto-Retinol
Love Claire!! 💛💛

Quick googling shows that RetinAl is closer to prescribtion retinol hence stronger than Retinol. This is confusing..
Thank u, so helpful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry but I was very confused
Thank you for sharing 🤗❤️
It’s extremely convincing when the specialist has a skin like Aqua gel 😄besides her professional knowledge about skin care products 🙌🏻
What about in Canada?
I'm in Ontario and I use Tretinoin by prescription and it qualifies for my drug plan.
This is very helpful
Awesome video thanks
Brilliant
Brilliant.
