Happy to see this review! I just purchased this retinol today!!

[@joansmith6844]

So pricy I get my rent in- a micro-spear way cheaper then this ugghh

[@easy1688]

Doctor Sugai I am watching your video since a couple years ago found out your skin is looking younger and younger again! I believe it’s working

[@Virginia.Rasmijn]

Hi Dr. Daniel, Thank you for all your informative and entertaining videos! I'm so happy to find your channel. I'm stepping up my skincare game, so your info really helps! I'm planning to do microneedeling/Dermapen in combo with peel. Can you do a video on the after care routine the days post-microneedeling professional treatment? Would love to hear your perspective and tips about it. Thank you!

[@Truth1561]

I’ve been using the Biossance Rose vitamin c moisturiser and it’s really lush. I received it in an advent calendar and will definitely purchase it after the 15ml has gone.

[@littlemaiba]

Hello Dr. Sugai! Thank you for all of your relevant and engaging videos! One question I have is something that I have not heard anything talk about before. So with Vitamin C and Retinols/Retinals, albeit more so with Vitamin C due to its instability, that these need to be ideally stored at room temperature or refrigerated. Like it is usually recommend to store in a cool dry place at room temperature (like 68-78 degree F), but what about when you order an item online and have it shipped to you. I am guessing that shipping carrier trucks like with USPS, UPS, FedEx are not really climate controlled, and even if they happen to be, what about when a package is left at your door for 4-6 hours in 80-90+ degree weather like during the summer? Does the exposure to possible extreme heat during the 3-5 days when your Vitamin C or Retinols/Retinals are being shipped or the 4+ hours it is left on your doorstep affect the efficacy or longevity of the product? This has been something I am very curious about lately. I live in Florida, FYI. Thank you again!

[@christine4559]

I just ordered mine, might as well use the Sephora 20% off!!!

[@emiliamaria0718]

I would like to suggest a video on , what can you do or use while pregnant or breastfeeding , what you can not ?? Please

[@AmandaOrient]

Hello ! I’m 24 and have been using Adapalene since I have 14 for acne. I’ve seen so many progress but today I still have some adult acne and I want to upgrade to the next level and treat even better my skin to prevent signs of aging. I was wondering if I should go for a tretinoid prescription or a retinal (with less irritation) ? I don’t know which one would be the next level after Adapalene to treat even better my adult acne and treat signs of aging Thank you very much 💗

[@jayalakshmi-yq7el]

Sir please do a video about your present day and night skin care routine. A video for oily acne prone skin people about what all they should use and not. Is clinique and neutrogena face moisturiser are good for oily acne prone skin?people with oily skin are suppose to do double cleansing or not. Hope you would give me a reply I think you can guess my skin acne problem through my question so please please please do reply Sir 🙏

[@ew4626]

Once you start using a retinoid, do you have to use it forever? If you stop, what happens?

[@user-ni6ho9yw6i]

Doctor please recommend things for melasma which is available in India with less price too for the people like me, I have watched most of your uploads regarding skincare but hardly I can find your suggestions here except few like olay, Cetaphil etc .can please help to get rid off melasma spots 🙏

[@gr8Lady1]

Dr. Sugai, could you please review the new Murad Resculpt RetinAL Overnight Treatment?

[@Denise-ud4se]

I would like to know if Dr Sugai ever recommends liquid exfoliants? I never see him use them in his videos.

[@TK-se8jq]

I'm new to skin care and need some advise. I am using retinol .3% every third night and also incorporating vitamin c and hyaluronic acid in the mornings everyday. Using all this product should I start using an exfoliates? If so what is a good recommendation and when can I use it in my routine?

[@donreid2439]

Since this retinol is to be use twice a week, can I use biossance squalane+copper peptides serum + Clinique moisture surge with hyluronic acid on the days that I no use the retinol?…or please advice what to use instead ? Thx.

[@deadroomeyes8965]

Can you please tell us if fermented ingredients (like whats used in Numbuzin and other korean skincare) is compatible with tretinoin? I want to use it at the end of my routine but I dont know if I can and no one seems to know the answer. ❤❤❤

[@emiliamaria0718]

Can you use any maximum strength retinol or whatever retinoid , while breastfeeding?? Also can you do at home hair lazer removel while breastfeeding too??

[@mikhailsvarovski]

how would you compare this in terms of strength with tretinoin 0.025?

[@davids_d3246]

@Dr. Daniel Sugai writing from Italy, started Adapalene with "sandwitch" technique. When can i "probably" start to see some benfit for my sebacaous hiperplasya? greetings from 🇮🇹

[@chiehuang8882]

Could you talk about neutrogena retinol capsules? Thanks

[@leeann930]

Please can the cos de baha 2.5% retinol be used everyday. I've use it 3x a week as instructed but I was wondering if it can be used everyday!!

[@emilyjenisch2586]

What percentage of retinol and retinaldehyde are in this product?

[@sourourian1]

I recently bought the same one. But mine doesn't spread as easily as yours did, it feels super dry. It's my 2nd time trying it this week, so strange.

[@michellewashington5918]

Would you recommend this on sensitive? The first item you introduced?

[@cagla4717]

What do you think about Revolution skincare 0.3% retinol + vitamins & HA ? Is it good for beginner? Any user?

[@karenkuwahara7606]

Hi Dr Daniel, can you please do a video on at home radio frequency machines before I waste my money?

[@xtasydesigns6982]

I have started to breakout with Vitiligo patches due to an autoimmune disorder. Is it safe to take Retinol and Vitamin C? Will it make it worse? Thank you

[@bachxuanquang2837]

Been followings for months but this is the first time I comment. Thanks to debunk the myth that retinol and benzoyl peroxide cancel each other out.

[@maeg5900]

can I use Adapalene Differin for anti-aging and skip all retinol or retinal product? By seeing retinol and retinal in the market, I feel guilty not using it and just using adapalene. My skin is adapted to adapalene already. I never use retinol before. Or should I get tretinoin from a dermatologist? My goal is anti-aging..

[@ryahrose]

can you review palmers skin therapy oil it has a retional and i’ve heard good things and it has actives in it and i want your opinion

[@DanielM96]

Why don't they sell this Retinol night serum in the UK? We can only get the Phyto Retinol over here 😑

[@robind8155]

What is the % of retinal? Is it a beginner friendly serum? What is the frequency for beginner to use? I am already use 0.3% for 2 weeks no irritations. Thx

[@ojackss]

Hello, i want to ask something: A year ago I applied TCA on my upper lip but since then the red colour is gone and still is.. what can i do to get that back. “Its obviously not a scar”

[@ayamenaka3430]

Thank you for clarifying the difference. I am enjoying L’Oréal Revitalift Retinol! Aloha!🤙🏼🎃🍁

[@silviapermenter6450]

Hi Dr. Daniel. I would ask you how we treat the neck. In your videos you only talk about the face. Thanks

[@TiaCup]

Hi Dr. Sugai. I have a quick question. Which is theoretically more effective, 1% retinol or 0.1% retinal?

[@omarihunte5899]

Retinal is. Because it is closer to retinoic acid when converted, it doesn't need a high % to be effective

[@thatgirl5630]

I hear ppl saying retinAL is more tolerable and less irritating than retinol?? I am so confused. DR.V here on KZbin says retinal is better for skin sensitivity and retinOL is more irritating…

[@mikhailsvarovski]

would you use this instead of tretinoin?

[@ileen859]

Biossance or Maelove… which is best??

[@stefaniaburghel3669]

Hi! I use a retinol serum from Mary Kay, which I unsealed in February 2023. The serum expires in May 2023, can I use it until I finish it? I started using it 3 months ago and it is still more than half full....

[@famiebaz730]

What should I start with when never using these products before

[@sandrarios4636]

CAN I USE THE BIONACE IF I HAVE EZMA SENTIVE DRY SKIN?

[@enuphsayd9746]

Backuchoil is good. Yes/No?

[@phoebebee4250]

Can I use a retinoid having rosacea? I have a little on my cheeks, and use metronidazole when it flares up. Thank you.

[@db-gb5xi]

There are videos on retinol for sensitive skin. But if you have a derm, they'd be the best one's to ask.

[@Kimchee0308]

Where to buy this product?

[@seymam.j4208]

Good day Dr Daniel, I'm using Avene retinal 0.1% , should I keep using it or switch to Medik8 retinal ? Have a great weekend

[@db-gb5xi]

A number of derms recommend the Avene. Geek and Gorgeous also has one that folks like.

[@seymam.j4208]

Thank you for your reply 🙏 I hope that they ship it to Canada Good day

[@sandrarios4636]

Can I use if I have ezma sentive dry skin?

[@farhakhan1680]

Can you give me any anti ageing cream , i'm unable to buy ..coz anti ageing cream are very costly

[@sanmukajay1112]

Hey Doc, I turned 17 this year, and love watching your skincare videos. Can I use retinol and ceramide creams at this age? Is it too much for teenage skin?

[@jukkalepparanta2463]

You don't need to use retinols before age 25.

[@ateneaadalyn3351]

Retinol is a great ingredients. If you have large pores, hyperpigmentation,acne , blackheads or fine lines of course you can use it. Retinol is better use for prevent rather than treat

[@shanrshan1]

Can we hear how Tretinoin fits into this routine?

[@maureenbrophy7852]

? Cost

[@sepangs3565]

Lost me at 80$ price tag

[@farhakhan1680]

Hello

[@adriankyleloyola9735]

I thought retinal had to do with our retinas in the eyes 😂

[@Dramaqueen94328]

Hai doc..can you suggest products for the dry skin??

[@Dandelion-nt5ov]

Doctor can you explain about granactive retinoid or HPR? from some resources which i read it explain that it doesn't need to be converted to retinoid like retinol, retinal, etc and less irritated so i conclude it's better. In my country (Indonesia), since around 3 years ago the skincare market is so growing up and now the retinoic product become popular. The marketing of granactive retinoid or HPR is kinda like a first step to try retinoic product and will level up to use retinol or others🤔. The price of retinoic product OTC or Prescription that produced in here is so cheap, most of it only cost < 10 USD and the highest that i found < 20 USD☺

[@wientv4419]

wientv ❤❤❤

[@aubreybeale429]

This guy won’t talk about tretinoin

[@nancylinkov4846]

I’m not a fan of products in pump form, too much waste

[@AD-jq7ow]

Îm sorry but one pump is really hard to cover my whole face and neck and your application seems very uneven…
