[@victory2714]

Great list, just one difference. She recommended Paula's Choice, 0.3% not 1% Retinol

[@yukiaditya7352]

@@victory2714​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠i wonder if the 0.3% she considered for advanced user, and how about the 1%? I used the 1% one years ago, to be honest it wasnt irritating at all, but i noticed more differences on my skin from using The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid series.

[@sb853547]

The skinxare industry hates her because her standards are so high for skin of color and because she is so honest. But that's the reason i will forever support her and come back to her whenever skincare is concerned

[@cahaus]

Omg! Talking about all the added ingredient irritants helped me understand why I can't tolerate most products! It's been a mystery up to this point, and I thought I was just crazy. Thank you! Makes so much more sense now.

[@sweetcelien]

I love the editing and the no nonsense explaination you're so professional. The editing and articulate speaking and everything reminds me of mrwhosettheboss

[@la78wson78]

Hi Dr V Thank you again for this lovely video I am 53 years old with oily acne sensitive skin and since following you I saw some improvement on my skin by using your advice Love you

[@MirasolCardenas]

Dr. V, I found your channel 3 yrs ago while attending esthetics school. Starting with your knowledge in mind, it was evident skin of color care was never a subject studied. I've learned sooo much and of course have your BOOK! I realized our skin of color is open market and something I must also specialize in. The old brands that have "stood" the test of time may have to reformulate or move aside for the new and improved smaller brands breaking in. Unfortunately, these major brands in department stores are run by sales people who have experience in sales (older folks) and spill off the label info to make a sale. I do not see estheticians in this field but recently the demand is barely increasing to add estheticians. Have to admit working for a brand, they push for sales rather than actual skin care. That backfired quick after I was pushed to follow the sales executive directive and irritated a customers skin. I felt horrible.😢 These major brands are struggling to sales since many young sales people (misinformed) in skincare have entered the field. Yes, they may have the chatter attitude to sale but not the required education for skin care. Thank you Dr. V

[@vanitarattan]

Thankyou for this insight x

[@Nperidot04]

Dr V thank you for reviewing all these retinols, much appreciated 💖

[@nanaesicobbinah5182]

Thank you so much dr v for all your videos,they are educating I am asking for a full video on the ordinary product for 60’s AM and PM.

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Yes! but the comedogenic ingredient is after Phenoxyethanol, which means it’s at less than 1% which is why it’s not problematic and that ingredient usually breaks me out, but everyone won’t experience that. I think the Cerave retinol is amazing for acne! 10/10

[@BigClanz]

Dr V, Words can’t express my gratitude. Thank you thank you thank you, you are a star!!! I haven’t used Retinol before I’m 33 should I go for beginners/intermediate/advanced ?

[@upasnagupta-budhwani5580]

great video, love the new format! can you do a video discussing fruit extracts i am seeing in so many products, are we to avoid all of them?

[@AaronFigFront]

‼️ Just to remind you that the drunk elephant one showed earlier in the video, the price is for the 10ml bottle, the 30ml bottle is much more expensive for $74.

Thank you so much for these retinol reviews and for doing all the hard work! It's tough to know which ones are actually any good. I would like to try the ordinary as i'm on a tight budget or Paula's choice but they are too advanced for me at the moment. Instead I would like to try your retinal but I'm not sure if its for advanced or intermediate users? ❤❤

I needed this, my skin care as I age needed to change. Goes along way in figuring out what to purchase.

Back in the days like 2000 era, most skincares has alcohol & fragrance & still old people face are better than some of the teenagers nowadays💀💀.

[@josephmara4781]

I disagree, the current 16-30 year old group have incredible skin compared to the older generations.

[@ems6800]

Never met an older person who had better skin than young people.

[@LearningCoreConcepts]

Best retinol recommended by Dr. V (Summary of the video) Rentinol 0.6% best +ceramides +humectants 1.nafesafe 2.Airlesspump 3. retinal aldehyde Inkeylist for beginners (notairlesspumpu) The ordinary retinaldehyde Versed retinol Roc capsules Biossance retinol beginner & expensive

[@romyxx71]

Dear, I mean no disrespect as you mean well, but she gives several pieces of advice and your summary makes no sense. Augustus' insanely expensive Retinol 0.6% also contains two (2) comedogenic ingredients that she points out and would never advise anyone to use because they sensitise the skin. The Inkeylist is not in an airless pump, which means the retinol will oxidise. Unless your budget cannot stretch to buy one of the alternatives she mentions that is in an airless pump, then you could buy this to try. But even at that low price, it is a waste of your money. My advice would be to use the Ordinary in the airless pump at 0.2% and dilute it with moisturiser (1x pea size The Ordinary retinaldehyde and 2x pea size moisturiser). Also, use the sandwich method to avoid irritation by applying the moisturiser first, then the diluted 0.2% Ordinary and seal by applying Vaseline or castor oil (my favourite). Increase the amount of moisturiser you dilute the retinaldehyde with, if at 2x pea sizes it irritates your skin. In the end, her advice is: Beginners: ROC capsules, Versed, Kiehl's 0.1% (expensive). Intermediate: Biossance 0.05% retinol + 0.05% bakuchiol (expensive). Advance: The Ordinary airless pump 0.2%, Ary Fab Skin Lab both 0.25% and 0.3% and Paula's Choice 0.3%.

Hey Dr. V, would like to know your thoughts on medicube’s collagen mask and jelly cream. I was checking the ingredients list and it is quite disappointing as collagen in the mask especially is the 2nd last ingredient, at this point I am convinced that it’s just another brand with genius marketers but would like to know what you think. Hoping to seeing your video on this brand soon🤞🏻

[@chryslerignatius]

Such a great video, thank you Dr V

[@Vishalx01]

Can attest to the Inkey List retinol , it was one I used consistently for about 2 years and worked wonders. I then moved on to the Olay serum and I agree with everything Dr V said. I liked the product but there’s no % which is rubbish. 🙃 I am currently using Medik8 Crystal Retinal (6). I’m liking it so far however I would love to know your thoughts on this, Dr V?

[@lavayuki]

Wow a retinol for £280?!? I can’t believe a product can be that high. I use Differin or korean ones like K Secret, Scinic, some by Mi etc which I prefer to western brands. I tried Medik 8 which is expensive, Olay but hated the packaging as it kept getting clogged, TO and Inkey which were too weak. I noticed you didn’t review Geek and Gorgeous but they have some great affordable retinols.

Dr .V can you please share a video on SIMPLE serum line please ❤❤❤ U

[@useeif8rjs]

Hello can you please clearify your statement please? The cerave resurfacing one doesn't have denatured a*lchohol. I have checked the ingredients and also googled it for Reassurance. It has Cetearyl a*lcohol which is a fatty a*lcohol, which is very different from the drying, irritating types of a*lcohol (like denatured al*cohol or ethanol). Fatty a*lcohols are often used in skincare products as emollients, thickeners, and stabilizers.
