Update please😁😁

[@HeavyontheChai]

What happened to your face? That's the same question I received from a coworker. I was so offended, the hurt sent me to a dermatologist and my experience with the same medication Retin A saved my face. Don't ever ask that question people!!! If you use it clean face, apply moisturizer, allow to dry then apply a pea size amount of the medication. And I repeat use PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN EVERYDAY! I use it every other day.

[@preciousannebernabe8146]

I have a cyst like in my nose, its like a pimple not getting out on the surface of my nose. It created bumps. Should i use tretinoin gel? Do u have a same experience?

[@Shoofly000]

Girlll one of my professors asked me "What's wrong with your face? Breakouts? Guess you're still growing up". She's pointed out my acne 3 times and keeps acting surprised each time she does. Like, woman, you and I both know VERY WELL that I have acne. I'm 21 and still get acne so it's not even the teenage kind of acne that just goes away. This is adult acne and it sucks 🙃🙃🙂

@@Shoofly000 don’t let her get to you. Who the hell asks that 🤦🏾‍♀️I would simply ignore because acne is very common and it doesn’t make you less of a person.

[@Shoofly000]

@@ann-marie808 That's what I do, ignore her. But that makes her even more adamant to ask the same question again and again till she gets a response. It's a small class so we can all see each others' faces very well, so it's even worse cause everyone can see my acne when she points it out IN FRONT of the class. Another student asked me the same question when I had an eczema breakout and then his friend joined in and asked me if I was sick cause my face looked so red. Eventually, the professor asked them to leave me alone, but their behavior was only encouraged by the professors constant comments about my skin. It just never stops. If I try to defend myself or tell them to mind their business, they call me aggressive and say they're only asking cause they care and my skin could "use the help". I'm so done.

Love your skin beautiful ❤️ i am also currently on my tretinion journey and speaking from my experience 1) Avoid warm/hot water to wash ur face. Use only cold water. 2) do not exfoliate with strong chemicals ( use basic exfoliator but use it once in 10 days or once a week if your skin allows you ) if not then do it once in 2 weeks. Do not rub hard, be gentle. 3) use face mask once a week or once in 10 days but better to do it on the day when u r not exfoliating-your face. Try not to mix too many steps in one night, the simple the routine the better it is and less irritating it will be. 4) if u r starting with tretinion from using once a week then u may use it bare face and then use moisturiser. But if you want to start with 2-3 days a week then use moisturiser first and then tretinion. Also always wait for 30 mins in between both the steps. Hope this information helps ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ninobk196]

Also do not use active products. Basically when you use Tretinoin only do - 1- cleanser, 2- Moisturizer, and 3- Tretinoine. In the morning, the same w/sunscreen. You don't need to use anything else on your face when using Tretinoin/Retin A. . This is the KING of acne and anti-aging products. Anything else you use is extra, and wouldn't compare to this Less is more when using Tretinoin. You don't need anything else. If you exfoliate and use active ingredients, you want to wait at least 2 weeks before you start using Tretinoin.

[@jenycas4757]

Is it still ok to oil cleanse before ?

[@lisaxd2278]

Very helpful thanks 😊

[@nj-gt2ow]

If you suffer from acne that hasn’t been resolved tretinoin will cause you to purge. It exfoliates from deep within so all those underlying clogs are coming up at once.

I just went to the dermatologist today, she prescribed me with tretinoin and this video is so encouraging. i relate so much to 4:35 because my family members are always talking and asking questions about my face (which is why i wear concealer over my scars when im around them) you can genuinely be feeling so confident and just a simple comment like “what happend to your face” can ruin your day. Just yesterday my cousin asked me why my face was so messed up ( i almost cried) but i didn’t i stuck it up. So thank you for making me feel less alone

I'm emotional finding this video because your experience seems so similar to mine - skin tone and also the type of scars we're trying to treat. I'm around the 2 month mark and I think I'm starting to go through the purge. I'm a little discouraged, and looking for videos that can make me feel better. The first few weeks I totally had that "baby butt" and glowing sensation on my skin and I thought the process would be much smoother, but now I'm breaking out a little and the my acne scars seem darker than they even were even though I'm using sunscreen everyday. I'm trying to keep my head up and I hope I'll see some results soon. Thanks to quarantine, no one needs to see my purge

great video! just some advice for everyone; don’t start out with the highest percentage of tretinoin especially if this is your first time using it. start with 0.05% and gradually build up to 1%. ur skin could have also been burning because of u starting at the highest percentage.

Your skin looks So much better. What a difference!

I put it on and my skin feels normal and so far no reactions and I’ve been using it a few times a week. Lol but let me not jinx myself

[@yourfavouritescepticx8969]

Guys make sure you get retin A , which is also called tretinoin or tretin-aldehyde = ( tretin A ). Retinol is also good but it takes longer to work due to it chemically having to be converted to retin- aldehyde, which is then converted into retinoic acid that the body uses in order for cellular turnover to take place. I done my research thoroughly because I know the internet is fully of dons that wanna make quick money off desperate ppl like myself. I don’t have acne but I do have stretch marks I wanna use it for LOL

Thank you so much. It's difficult to find someone who did what I did and started on 0.1%. I figured I don't have time to acclimatise so I'd get all the suffering over in the first few weeks.

I know this is an old video but I desperately want to find out something! You mentioned that it was your birth control that caused the hormonal imbalance that led to your acne - did you stop that particular birth control in order to stop the acne? I'm asking because I suddenly got acne one month after starting a birth control, but it was REALLLLY expensive, and is supposed to help me with my heavy periods, so I'm hesitant to stop it. Did you do other things to keep the acne in check, or did you have to come off of your birth control???? I'm using mirena, and I'm wondering whether to keep it in and see if my hormones will balance itself with the mirena eventually, and hopefully these cysts will go away???

NO continue to use the .025%, you want your skin to get used to it. In the end it does not matter what percentage you use, bc you're going to end up with the same results anyway, though it might take a little longer. The only difference is that a higher percentage of tretinoin is more irritating to the skin and it's not worth it tbh. Always consult with your derm first, don't make that decision yourself please it can be very dangerous

[@Thedollrii]

Thankyou 💕✨

[@eshy6665]

how many times a week did u put it on and do u put it on before or after moisturizer ? 😓

[@karenrussell9063]

After you apply the tretinoin you apply the moisturizer.

[@lanle-ji7km]

What situations did you experience on your skin when it had been irritated? And how long they finished? I just used 10 days-5times but I wonder its work on my skin or not, because my skin became having itchy and 1-2 red acnes(not too big but it itchy and sometimes come out suddenly).

[@Moore52833]

Can I ask what brand sunscreen do you use?

[@shaztaf]

Hi, does this help with scarring?

[@rubymuasya3531]

I'm 18 and my skin isn't that bad although i have a few old acne scars and a few blackspots on my cheeks ....should i use it??

[@italianelson4951]

@ruby Muasaya You can but it causes you to purge a lot and may make matters worse. It does get better but it may take a long while depending on your skin type etc. If it’s just a few acne scars and dark spots you could try other options like aloe vera plant or gel, glycolic acid, vitamin C cream or Kligman’s cream. You can research which one would suit you best.

[@teek8495]

if your skins not to bad try alpha arbutin, lactic acid, mandelic acid etc these are more gentle and will get rid of the acne scars if your consistent

[@chanpreetkaur9368]

Hi dear, your video is very informative i like your videos but after watching this i want to confirm one thing that if we r using tretinoin and wants to include (salsilic, glycolic or niacinamide) these acids also for acne and pigmentation so how we can include these in our skin care routine as usage of tretinoin already gave us redish skin with burning sensation if u can reply i will be so thankfull to you as i am struggling with my skin...

[@travelvlogscooking2275]

Hey Aiesha is this going to work on melasma/ hyper pigmentation???

[@NannyDiaries23]

Yes but you must use sunscreen to prevent the sun from darkening your spots as they fade

What was the medication prescribed for the hormonal embalmed cause after my 3rd child ans age things changed

[@querenm3303]

0.1% is too much to start

[@nirmalaanissa9439]

Hi Aiesha, thanks for the helpful video !!! I have a question, did you experience any discoloration or skin darkening ? Probably due to the sun...i have been applying tretinoin for 3 month and always put Spf, but the area around my month got darker ...and i am thinking about stopping tretinoin because of this...

[@meeradevi2982]

Omg I have that too!! Did you stop or did you continue using tretinoin?

[@nirmalaanissa9439]

@@meeradevi2982 Hi !! Honestly I kept going ...but at the beginning try to use like once a week untill you tolerate ...then increase the frequency little by little ! The hyperpigmentation is probably due to the fact that your skin is still not tolerating the tret and you get irritated from it. However, you should discuss this with your Dr. Sometimes they prescribe an additionnal cream to help with hyperpigmentation ( e.g. azelaic acid). Now i actually can tolerate tretinoin quite well, sometimes i get the occasional flakiness if I overdue it but otherwise i am quite happy with the results !...but really speak to your Dr...everyone's skin is different and you might need an little extra help ! Using tretinoin without the supervision if a derm is not recommended 🤗 good luck on your skin journey 😊

[@Juanafig78721]

It’s the accumulation of dead skin. On melanated skin dead skin looks dark. I get it too. Once the dead skin flakes off it will will travels more even skin over time.

[@manishakhanal4716]

I have been using 0.025% cream for the last 1 month. At first my face was a little dry, but then nothing happened. Others said that their skin would come out but nothing happened to me. Instead, blackheads are starting to appear. There is also tiny bumps n pimples. Did it work on my face? What should i do??? I am 21

[@kk-pb3du]

hi, i'm 21 too and using tret! any update? are you still using it? how long did the purging occur?

[@zcopeland3928]

@@angel7016 no mam I use it twice a day my dermatologist even told me that so it can work faster . I don’t use a lot just a dime size I’ve been doing this 4 weeks and my scars are gone

[@kk-pb3du]

acclimate your skin first, so I suggest, you start with 2-3x/week. Then, you can gradually increase depending on the reaction of your skin.

[@dej782]

did you get discoloration/get darker from it because when on it because i am 😕

[@AieshaMyricks]

Yes, I can’t speak for anyone else but it was because I wasn’t using sunscreen

[@TheTrquezada]

If you guys have insurance find your insurances telehealth services. Get your px from them. If your insurance doesn't cover the px us Goodrx to get a coupon. My insurance isn't charging right now for co-pays and deductibles for telehealth some arent bec of the pandemic. My insurance didn't cover it I used good rx and it went from 300 to 70 so 70 for the px and over the phone appointment. Just giving the info in case anyone wants to try it to get it that way or if the have a generic version Im not sure but she's 100 right the shit works.
