I love Tretinoin! Can't live without it. Thankfully it does not cause inflammation for me.

[@Just-a-girl]

I've been using it since 2004. It can be drying but now I mix in a little infadolan ointment that is also used with heavy derma rolling treatments. It creates a mini slugging treatment every night.. I'm in Australia which puts Dr Rajani's products out of reach..

[@tierneyboorboor39]

If you are on a budget, the one splurge, IMO, that's totally worth the cost is Rajani's Retinol A Serum. I have been using it 2-3x per week for 4 months. Sun damage spot on my forehead is shrinking (orange peel), a milia under my eye is slowly going away, and recently I have noticed that my skin looks better without makeup than with.

They make a great combination for me as well.

I use it with a (separate) prescription for 20% Azelaic acid, which I mix with my 15% Paula’s Choice Azelaic acid, or I alternate between the two) and their 10% Niacinamide booster, I love almost everything from PC but unfortunately, because I’m in Canada,🍁it can get quite expensive with the dismal exchange rate and taxes.

Yes, is Retin-A or Tretinoin. Is the strongest one. I can only use it every 4 to 5 days because the dryness is crazy and I use the lowest % (0.025%). Very effective but you can see the effects after around 4 to 6 months of CONSISTENT USE; meaning, in my case, with use every 4 to 5 days and moisturizing before and after aplication the effect was visible around 4 months.

I think you should make a clear distinction between retinol and retinoids. Maybe your intention was to make the explanation more approachable by referring to retinoids as 'retinols' because it is a common misuse, but I think this might confuse some people. For example, at 0:48, saying 'Retinoid Effectiveness Chart' makes it much clearer than 'Retinol Effectiveness Chart,' since retinol (the compound, not the misused term for retinoids) is then listed underneath in the chart as one type of retinoid.

[@PtolemyXVII]

This is quite informative, and I appreciate all your expertise but I have to say I do not like retinols at all, even the mildest versions. It is highly irritating to me and causes thinning of skin that is more fragile, and develops an inability to heal from cuts, spots, etc and more likely to develop a hypotrophic scar. I also noticed that for me, creams with citrus peel and lime oil and lemon oil work absolutely amazing for me, whilst ascorbic acid or the stabilised form of vitamin C does not work as well. I think this is because natural citrus peel also contains other ingredients such as vitamin k, but for me, holistic skincare, using natural ingredients seem to have the most optimal effect on me, and not isolated compounds such as ascorbic acid and retinoids. I’m curious about the retinal though, and wonder if it might work on a very small depressed scar caused by retinoids usage but most likely I would find it similarly irritating and would rather not risk further damage or scarring or scratching of my skin. Dr rajani, I’m wondering what your opinion is on the MelanX chemical peel? Or peels in general?

For me, I found this to be true. I also noticed many people with lighter skin tones who use retinoids often have fragile, thin skin that looks more wrinkled or is more prone to wrinkle to me. However, retinoids seem ideal for people with darker skin types, esp African heritage, but generally people with darker skin also have a thicker dermis, so the skin thinning might not be noticeable on them.

I wish you would make these products without avocado oil, its an allergin for me and many others.

Avocado oil has healing effects but it also causes darkening of the skin due to enhancing melanocytes. Most oils enhance and promote melanin formation except for argan oil and sesame oil which prevent melanin production. If people like the tanned glowing look, avocado, olive and coconut oil are ideal.

Avocado oil might have a healing effect but it has to be avoided completely for people who are allergic to it! There are many other oils that can be used!

Hello Rajani, I use environ. I use AVST 5. Do you think environ is effective?

Do you still recommend ez gel for the eyes? Could it be used for the temple area too? Recall u said that sculptra had too many negative effects. Is this still true? I love the idea of plumping the skin naturally instead of fillers but fearful of the nodules that can’t be removed.

I combine prf and sculptra. Plasmasculpt.com
