[@glisciousful]

I have the Paula’s choice 1% retinol and its an amazing product . It definitely has firmed my skin , and got rid of fine lines. As well as help with better texture and overall skin brightness . Definitely would recommend this product .

[@NganuNani]

how bout to some who’s having with acne, pimples, scarring and uneven skin texture…does it improves?

[@fenchen5711]

Using Paula’s Choice 1% retinol myself. I really love the product too!!

[@KellyfromMemphis]

Paula’s choice and Maelove (the blue bottle) are also CRUELTY FREE! Yay! 👍❤️🥰

[@estheticianbeauty2796]

I love what you said~ The retinol that you are able to tolerate is the best retinol for YOU! 💙💙💙

[@momdocindc]

Geek and Gorgeous is another inexpensive retinaldehyde - loving it.

[@SolElarien]

Me too, they have very good products. Love, Sol

[@debrajean743]

Hi Dr. Sugai. Wonderful video about Retinoids. A long while ago my Derm Dr. friend (I'm not her patient) threw me a tube of Tretinoin .05% for my face. Had no problems with it at all. She said I don't need it but "what the hell". I want to start early preventing lines and wrinkles.. But then my sensitive neck.....OMG. So she told me to start with moisturizer first, then she gave me a Retinol and that worked great to put on top of the moisturizer. Did that for a couple of months and then she turned me onto the Mae Love Moonlight Retinaldehyde for my neck and she told me to put it all the way down to my "Ta Tas" lol. Everything is working great with Vit C and sunscreen in the morning and the Retinoids at night. Thank you Dr. Sugai for a great video!

[@stephanieestlow4386]

Thank you so much for your videos. I am so lost when it comes to skincare and the order of. Thanks for taking the scariness out of buying.

[@sta7586]

Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉 on your 2 yr anniversary! Great commentary, Mahalo! Btw, I noticed your skin texture is smooth with a nice fresh glow. 😊

[@rosamoreno4794]

Jars are not a problem for me and I don’t mind them because I would never dip into them with dirty fingers, never.

[@db-gb5xi]

That and the fact that's why skincare products have preservatives in them.

Looking for a good retinol. Going to try the Inkey. New subscriber here. Just wanted to say your skin is gorgeous! You are definitely a walking advertisement. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@akhiker01]

Wish me luck! Gonna try for my PM routine . Gentle cerave cleanser , La Roche-Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Topical Retinoid and La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer for sensitive skin with niacinamide provides 48-hour hydration and prebiotic benefits for the skin barrier. I will start out slow with the retinol and go from there . I wear vanicream SPF 50 broad spectrum sunscreen everyday now . I live in Alaska .

[@debbiewalker273]

Thanks sharing your top picks for over the counter retinols. I’ve been using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle fragrance free, but seeing no visible results yet, but I know it takes time. I do also have the Moonlight Serum that I use once a week. Would you consider doing a video about at home red light treatments, or maybe just your opinion on it ? I’ve been using the Omnilux Red Light Mask, and have heard that some Derm Dr’s use that brand for in office treatments. I chose it because it’s FDA cleared. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to keep us informed. I really appreciate it ! ☺️☺️

[@007UA16]

Many dermatologist highly recommend staying away from products with fragrance, but you recommended the Neutrogena retinol serum with fragrance. I tried it and the fragrance is strong and quite off-putting. I wonder why Neutrogena continues to put fragrance in their products when the industry trend has been to stay away from fragrances. Otherwise the Neutrogena line seems solid.

As always, this is very much appreciated. I’m in my early 40s and I’ve just been more mindful of my skincare since I found your channel. So, thank you. On another note, could you please, in the future, make a video for our pre-teens/teens? My sons (12 and 13) are starting to have acne and I really want to introduce them to good skincare. Many thanks!

[@algernon2005]

The best and easiest skin care for teens Adapeline gel Differin. Use it every night and Differin SPF in the morning. I convinced my son to use it when he was 13 and started to get acne. Now he is 17 and his skin is beautiful .

[@paulmaloney2383]

I find this rather odd, I have very sensitive skin and It reacts to everything so I thought for sure retinols would be even worse but for some strange reason I get zero reaction from retinols it does not seem to bother my skin at all

[@MynameisVi]

Hi, New to your channel. Can you talk some more on eye creams for 60s. In general products for people 60s and up.

[@mariaarami265]

Use vitamin E oil 32iu and higher. I don't believe in eye creams as many research says, same thing u use for skin that is safe on face can be applied around the eye. Be careful when it comes to retinal and retinol...😊 peptides and moisturizer all have same ingredients as an eye cream. Just waste of money

[@HarrisPilton789]

I like to use No7 and Loreal Revitalift retinols on the backs of my hands. Both list the retinol at 0.03%.

[@melodiechartier5173]

I have the No7, it says on the box that it is 1.5 retinol but i read that it is only 0.03% which is a lot milder and not as potent. I do like the formula and i also use it on the back of my hands.

[@kindalikeu.....5948]

Thank you dr😎🙏👒 ( you are appreciated.)😁

[@ncrouch6445]

Hey Dr. Sugai! What are your thoughts on using 1) an over the counter retinoid (like CeraVe RS) on sensitive areas like neck and around the eyes and 2) a prescription retinoid for the rest of the face? Is there any risk that the two types “cancel” out one another?

[@miznaali7329]

No it will not cancel each other I do the same and many dermatologist do so. I don't use around the eyelids as my eyelids are really sensitive if you can tolerate around the eyes you can use it with no issues, but I use retinol on my neck back of the hands and tretinoin on rest of the face.

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Alexis Stephens likes the Olay 24 for neck, chest and backs of hands. She uses a product like the Avene Retrinal on her face.

[@bettyarcuri9959]

New Orleans I'm so glad we saw your video. I have a question if you could please help. I use the Maelove Retinaulhyde and I was wondering if you can use the Donginbi Red ginseng toner underneath this product? Now that we found you we ate subscribing. Thank you again

[@marleina1105]

Hi Dr Sugai, thank you so much for all of the great info! Is there an age when OTC retinoids and fit C are just a waste of money? I'm 72 with very few wrinkles and have thought about using retinol and vit C but don't want to waste my money if that ship has sailed! Thank you

[@Adhara740]

I live just a few hours away from you. 👏🏻 🙌🏻

[@MyLoVeLyMaN]

Adapalene 0.1 transformed my skin! I wish we had 0.3 in the UK, it's only available with benzoyl peroxide :/

[@cyndinelson8210]

Do you think the Roc capsules are better then the deep wrinkle repair night cream by Roc? That is if we’re taking away the convenience of the capsules.

[@nircocastillo7245]

Question: What would your advice be on layering the Neutrogena retinol serum with the rapid repair cream, instead of the retinol oil?

[@juliersawyer7047]

Thx Doctor, didn't realize you work near my homeland, Seattle. Question: my skin is fairly good normal to dry for 70+ women. Use Vitamin C works beautifully. Is it too late for retinoids? What do you suggest?

[@zullyashergo8876]

❤ 😍 this vid thanks Doctor 😊

[@midlifemom5829]

Would Differin be an effective product (in cost and active ingredient) for anti-aging for hands or should I use Maelove Retrinal?

[@NicePerson58]

Yes, Adapalene is recommended by lots of dermatologists. But since it's FDA aproved only for acne, there is not much data to say that it can be used for anti aging. But luckily there ate some studies that show that adapalene can help remove sun damage, but still tretinoin has the most evidence and data to back up the anti aging claim. Don't be hesitant using adapalene for your hands, give it a try

[@db-gb5xi]

I've also seen at least one derm recommend Olay 24 for neck, chest and hands.

[@ooooo5990]

Use maelove for anti aging the first reply explains it well

[@Dee17050]

Dr. Sugai, is it necessary when using the Maelove product (or any other Retinaldehyde) to apply to dry skin like you would with Retin-A? Thank you for these videos!

[@danielsugaimd]

Great q- I would apply to dry skin as applying to moist skin increases absorption and could increase risk of skin irritation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙

Hello. A subject rarely addressed: After a longer period with use of the same percentage of retinol, with good results. Can I continue using the same percentage ? Or do the effectiveness fade and I need to switch to a stronger one for maintaining these ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@hrsydrmr]

I used Avene retinal for a few years and started experiencing severe joint pain. Twice I stopped using it and the pain stopped. I waited a couple of months, tried it again and the pain returned. I thought I’d try Geek and Gorgeous retinal to see if the same thing would occur and it did. Horrible pain! I didn’t know this was a possible side effect until I learned others experienced the same thing. Just to be clear…I used a topical retinal. Some people have said this type of reaction is impossible with topical but I can attest to the fact that topicals can produce these types of reactions because it happened to me. I loved the results I achieved with retinal and wish I could find an alternative and the reasoning for this type of reaction. ☹️

[@michelletidler6773]

Wow I had never heard of this. So glad you realized it and stopped using it. Sorry youre not able to use it.

So I just turned 49 and I’m dealing with pores. I do have a couple of wrinkles on my forehead which bother me. I have La Roche Posay adapalene gel 0.1%. I use it very sparingly. Is this the best thing to help with my large pores?? Love your videos. 👍🏼

Can retinaldehyde cause dry eyes? I have been using tretinoin for 5 years now. My eyes have been incredibly dry for the past couple years. I couldn't figure out why for the longest time. Then I realized it's tretinoin I've been using. I 've heard that retinaldehyde won't cause dry eyes and is safe to use around the eyes. Is that true?

Thanks for this informative video. I would be interested in a review on aklief (trifarotene). i am using this for acne since tretionine is not available in my country anymore. For acne it works perfectly. I was wondering if it also has anti aging benefits. Some dermatologists say it is not proven yet although it it still a retinoid. It is on the market for 1-2 years now so maybe you have seen some results on your pacients? :-)

[@wwondertwin]

I've been using Absorica Rétinal, which is made by the pharmaceutical company Galephar. It's not at all a fancy cream like the ones made by companies that make cosmetics primarily, it has a kind of medicinal scent without any fragrance added, but it's really good and cheap, at least if you live in Europe it's cheap to order. I pay €12 for a 30ml tube that lasts about 4 months in my use when used on face, neck, décolleté and the back of my hands, but it has shelf life of 6 months after opening. It has 0.1% retinal. I use it around my eyes too, and I've never gotten irritation from it like from some retinol products, just great results!
