So many people use just soap and water. I don’t know anyone who is into skincare. In need skin care I my life and now we have Queen Penny!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

You both are so kind!! These are old comments that popped up on my end today 🥰 I hope you are both doing well! 💙

[@AllisonReece]

About time someone addressed this topic with clear, concise information. Thank you for providing helpful guidelines what not to mix with and why. I see so much confusion on this subject...it's unreal!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

It can get very confusing, I agree!! I feel like I have to weed through periodically to make sure consensus hasn’t changed....so I’m glad to be helpful! 💜

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Thank you for being here!! Happy Friday! 💜

[@maritza211]

Happy Friday! Ok just rewatched. Very interested in retinaldehyde. Curious though.... How does Adapelene compare to retinaldelhyde?? What is the difference between these two?

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Maritza & the VanCuties so Adapalene is an interesting one...it is non-prescription now but it is the active form of the vitamin. Up to now it’s primarily used for acne treatment. I am not aware of studies confirming it’s anti aging capabilities. Retinaldehyde is inactive, one enzymatic conversion away from being active. Retinaldehyde is the type of vitamin A that is good for anti aging (collagen stimulation etc). I’ll dig a little deeper on adapalene but it’s my understand that’s it’s still an acne topical primarily 😊

[@beebakay]

Possibly the clearest explanation of retinoids I have come across. Thanks, love your content!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Thank you so much!! 💜

[@m00nriver91]

I love your channel ❤️❤️ something I learned from Dr. Dray is you can apply your moisturizer onto damp skin immediately after cleansing and then once you skin is completely dry, apply your retinoid! I have very sensitive skin and this works like a charm. I’ll even apply a bit of moisturizer on top of the retinoid and it works really well :) subscribed and can’t wait to learn more ☺️

[@lexuscarrington]

Thank you Penny!! I watch your videos over and over. Absolutely I’m love with you, our skincare Queen. I was getting confused with Squalane and Retinal. I just order one from your recommendations. Now I think I have everything and I am clear now... thank you again. Your passionate about skin care and you love what you do and this is why I am here. Blessings to you and much success!

[@debbienerys6863]

You do a great job explaining things Penn!

[@tamiibarra3027]

This video is wonderful! It's the best explanation I have ever seen on this subject! I've heard we shouldn't use Vitamin C and AHAs and BHAs with Retin A before but you are the first to explain why. It's so helpful to understand the ph scale! I finally understand the difference between active Retin A and non-active. Again that's so helpful! I've never understood Retin A well enough to feel confident using it in any form. It scared me. I now feel comfortable enough to try it. Thank you! Can you tell me how to find a toner that will bring the ph of my skin back down to 4.5-5.5 ph after using the alkaline product Clearista?

[@aubreyengelbrecht8956]

It looks like there is an overwhelming need to understand these concepts better, of knowing the PH of products and how to layer them. I would love to learn more please!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I will definitely dive in to this deeper. I realize it’s a big subject that I kind of skimmed over. I’ll work on this! 💜

[@aubreyengelbrecht8956]

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE awesome, thank you!

[@sarahstroud6021]

I’ve started applying my retin a to my hands and it makes a world of difference in them! I’m 35 but my hands weren’t something I really thought about until recently and I’m glad I did! I’ve been using retin a for 10 years and it started for acne but I’m so glad I have been diligent about it😀

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I need to start this as well!! Great tip!’

[@nancyoakley4727]

Oh, this video is so important. Everything you explained helps so very much! I'm just starting with glycolic, hyaluronic, Vit. C, niacinomide, and want to get some type of Vit. A as well. Telling us that using the others at the same time as Vit. A will weaken them is so crucial. I would never have known that! I just got the Helio sunscreen too and will be faithful in using it. Penn, you are so professional and knowledgeable. I admire your integrity and trust you. Can't thank you enough. xxoo

[@claudiaglows]

As always, awesome information! Love my Retin A and it has made a huge difference in my skin. But, I did exactly what you said- I started super slowly and I am so glad I was patient Thank you for another great video 💕

[@lorijo5536]

I love the science you put into your videos. I truly look forward to watching you!

[@dionline88]

You explain things very clearly - I love that. It's also super helpful to have examples of these different types of product in the description box - we can see which we may want to order. What are your thoughts of the newest item I've been hearing touted now as an alternative to Retin-A....Bakuchiol. I've purchased two types (pads and a serum) and while it's very nice on the skin, I have to wonder how it might compare in the long run. Retin-A has been very harsh for my skin - supposedly Bakuchiol is 'what to use' now... enjoy your weekend!!

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

Happy Friday, beautiful. No matter how old you are, slow, and steady does win the race with Retin A. You know I always enjoy your videos, Penny. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen

[@katec.4361]

Thanks Penny, I think this is the most informative video on how to actually start using a retinoid. The mention of a lag time stood out for me - my skin started flaking two days after the first time using retinal. I’ve also found it useful to let my skin dry for no less than 30 minutes before retinal at night, and before sunscreen (which can sting on the newly sensitized skin) in the morning.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I’m so glad this was helpful💙 And your 30 min is crucial! I agree! I’ve learned over the years that applying anything on skin with any hydration (as in it was wet) with amplify the effects (good and bad). So you are spot on with your approach!

[@beckyc.5743]

Penn, your makeup is perfection! I’m getting ready to increase my Curology prescription so this is a timely video for me. Thank you. I purchased Clearista and Theraderm for flakes from using tretinoin. If I’m hopping in the shower, I will use Clearista but Theraderm is easier to use (and gentler, imo) than anything else I’ve tried. I’m so grateful you mentioned these products.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Thank you Becky! 💜

[@chrystalagnor454]

i learned A LOT from this! I've been layering serums under my retinoid to mitigate irritation, but i think start applying to bare skin... thank you for the information! always get something from your content.

I think you’ve finally got through - it’s beginning to sound less complicated. 🧐 Now to determine when and where to add my niacinamide.

[@innak7921]

Hi Penny! Thanks for another fantastic ”lesson”! You explain everything in a way that makes it easy to understand quite complicated things. I have bought some products that you have talked about previously and they have worked SO well, for example Avene 3 in 1 cleanser (for dry skin) and Avene Physiolift night balm, which I also love. I use Tretinoin twice a week and the other days I use the Physiolift. I do have a question for you that I hope you can answer and that is if you can explain the difference between the Physiolift and RetrinAL, which you mentioned in the description box in this video. Thanks from a devoted fan of yours 🤗❤️

I know many have asked and I'm signing up as well - i would love a complete AM / PM skincare routine for dry / aging skin. I love products so if you said do these 10 products every night i would do them all! And I think it would be amazing if you could do a price point recommendation - like for cleanser these are the top 3 you would buy at the top end, middle price, and bottom end. I think you would make so many people giddy if you were able to do something like this. xoxo

Hi and love listening to you. I have Avène RetrinAL 0.1 that I bought at dermatologist office, but honestly never noticed a difference. Also, since I use Osmosis, I also have Correct. I do however have a burning sensation from that so I don't use often. Perhaps I've been using it wrong in application or that my skin is too sensitive for. Clueless. Hope all is going well! 🥰

[@JenMakeupDollxo]

Osmosis clarify is really good! Granted it takes time

[@peachy75019]

There are retinol products all over the place, but I have found very few retinaldehyde products. I am using Avene and love that they put the concentration of retinaldehyde on the bottle. I am also interested in Osmosis Advanced Retinal Serum and Arcona Advanced A serum which are also retinaldehyde products, but neither the Osmosis nor the Arcona tell you anywhere what the concentration of retinaldehyde is in their products. I do wish skin care companies would get on board that we want to know the strength of the products we are buying :(

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Sorry it was confusing! Basic take away: I don’t mix AHAs and retinoids (irritating) I don’t mix BHA and retinoids (irritating). If I use vitamin C with retinoids I wait 30 minutes between the 2. Less is more so we don’t irritate the skin as much as possible 💜

[@luxeford9208]

Whenever retinaldehyde is talked about, I get giddy with excitement. I have used it for over a decade and it's the most importanant thing in my routine. I'm not even considerig tretinoin, because for me, the cons outweigh the pros. It"s *much* gentler than even retiol, and, being ADD and impatient I started using it every night. And if my skin was feeling a bit tender I just skipped a night. You also see results much quicker. Not that your fine lines suddenly disappear, but after about fourteen days your skin feels healthier and more vibrant. And I have read several studies that claim - but I don't know how - r etinaldehyde isn't sun sensitising. A lot of prople say it's too unatable to stay effective, but on some mornings there's a certain numbness underneath the skin, quite different from sutface irritation. And many years ago when I'd run out of it, my skin seemed to fall apart after a few weeks. And I"m not sure it is genes (it certainly isn't healthy living!), but I look a lot younger than just about any 48 year old. And, unlike retinol or retinoin, retinaldehyde has antibacterial action on P.acnes. And a study from 2006 they compared the efficacy and safety of the retinoids and other "anti-aging" ingredients. They concluded that aldehyde was a better bet than retinol. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2699641/#__ffn_sectitle

Penny, please check into Medik 8. They have a couple of great retinaldehyde formulations. I’ve been using the Crystal Retinal 10 nightly for a couple of years. They also have a new product R-Retinoate. It’s nice but their Crystal Retinal 10 has worked the best for me. No irritation or excessive dryness. I use sunscreen rain or shine, both inside and out. I also carry the Colorscience powder sunscreen to touch up my face, ears and visible skin. I think the biggest thing is patience. I love your advice. You should write a book.

As always great information, thank you for your dedication,research and time to provide truethful information. Is there a way to print this PH scale?

[@margaretadamson6239]

Thank again for the great content. I use retinaldehyde.

[@1TLA7]

Which one do u use and do you recommend it ??

[@margaretadamson6239]

I use MyChelle. It's inexpensive and works. I use to use tretinoin. This works just as well for me. Hope this helps. Take care!!

Hi Penny. SMITH. Really enjoy your videos. It's simple it's precise n mostly very informative with other utubers lack in. I'm really happy to find ur videos. Can you please do a review on some. French hypoallergenic product that are available in drugstore. Like Aderma. Avene bioderm uriage and LA Roche pochey n vichy. I looked everywhere n I had not found one video that compares these product. Thank you

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I will check them all out! Yes!! 💜💜💜

[@wendyblinston6797]

I LOVE your channel!!! Would you recommend the Avene or Mychelle for super sensitive skin?

[@debedwards1717]

I think I have crocodile skins because I didn’t have any reaction from using Retin A.

Lol! You're lucky, you found the sweet spot. Is not necessary to get bad peeling to get good results. Im gonna start retin a soon, I hope I don't get any bad peeling.

Hi Penny! I LOVE all your videos, they are so informative! I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on Differin/adapalene? It's available over the counter now in a 0.1% strength. I was thinking about giving this one a try.Their website states that you can apply it morning or night.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Adapalene is the exception the the OTC/active form umbrella. It is now OTC but it is also active :)) So that’s pretty awesome. Are you wanting it for anti aging or acne? It has been studied for acne but no conclusive evidence that it stimulates collagen (that I’ve seen, new studies come out all the time). I’ll look at their website-the morning application is an interesting recommendation 🤔 I do think adapalene is a very viable option depending on your particular skincare concern. 💜

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I do want to use it for anti-aging, but could only find one study that mentioned that there was a reduction in wrinkles...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12833014 So, maybe tretinoin would be a better choice for now. I was just interested in fewer side effects that Differin offers. I tried retin-a years ago and hated the peeling. But maybe I tried to introduce it too quick. Thanks for the advice! ~Mira
