I've been on Retin-A for 33 years. I started when I was 32. I get stopped all the time and complimented on my skin. I do many modalities, serums, etc. But, I truly believe it's do to the long term Retin-A use that my skin looks this good.

Hi Penny, I did some digging since the AVENE RetinAL was not shipped to my country (Israel) and found out that Avene named this product differently in Europe than in USA. It's called Avène A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream and it contains the same concentration of retinal (0.015%). The ingredient deck is almost identical. So I think it's useful information for all of you European followers. Also, I'v been following your channel for 3 years and it contributed a lot !!! thank you!!!

I was wondering if you would consider doing a video where you talk about other things that you have seen make a difference to your/your client's skin, such as caffeine, alcohol, vitamins/supplements, etc.? I am not sure how much of a difference some of these would make, and it would be great to learn about this from you!

[@tinaerardi3893]

I’ve used the Avene, Osmosis and Maelove retinaldahyde and never had irritation with any of them, using every night ( maelove used a.m/pm). I now use Medik8 and went easily from 10 to their new 20. And yet, I can’t use Tret no matter how slow/low I go. But that’s ok because I really believe consistency is key. I’d rather use retinaldahyde every night than struggle trying to use tret just twice a week & never progressing.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I feel the same exact way!

[@dorothy135]

Always great recommendations and advice, thank you Penny! I'm 51yo and began incorporating retinoids into my skincare approximately 5-6 years ago when I first learned about their benefits. I started with Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment (slowly building up use and tolerance) and now use Medik8's Crystal Retinal line. I won't ever be without a retinal in my skincare routine. ♥

Except two nights a week I exfoliate and one eve I use my copper peptides etc. thank you Penny. Looking forward to your New Series.

[@LilikoiJoy]

You’ve convinced me to try retinaldehyde. I’ve struggled with tretinoin for so long (off and on for 15 years!) and only use it once a week if that because of all the flakiness. I’m realizing it’s better for me to be consistent with a retinaldehyde I think than the sporadic tretinoin use I’ve been doing. Thank you so much!

Although it's expensive, osmosis renew has been the best retinaldehyde for me. I use it every other night because I also use their stem factor and I alternate with an AHA/BHA. That said, I will probably try one of these. Osmosis is a wonderful company, but they are expensive and I always have to look for skin truth to do a sale. I will never use Retin-A again. I agree that retinaldehyde is the way to go.

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Alas, I've been wanting to try Skinbetter too but the only Black Friday promotion is to spend a zillion dollars in products to get a small kit of samples. And Dr. Dray reviewed the brand and said their studies are flawed because they didn't A/B test with their proprietary ingredient isolated. Now I'm suspicious. Lots of derms recommend Skinbetter, but in order to purchase you have to log on from a physician's link, so they're all getting a commission on what we buy. And that makes me super-suspicious. Anyway, if you ever try that line I would love your review too.

I like how you are simplifying and using more affordable options. I bought some things from NIOD but I think I goofed. I was using a regimen from them not not seeing any improvements. So, I added lactic acid with C and began to see small improvements but my skin tends to really be dry so have had to resort to Vaseline day & night as last step & seem to be in another stall. No matter what I add, I don't see any improvement, in fact, often it looks worse! Occasionally looks better. It's driving me nuts and feel throwing in the towel! Dry skin in a dry environment , over 70 skin. Is there hope? I've ever tried the really expensive stuff..no change or slight improvement but unsustainable at those prices!!

@miss kitty I feel you in your frustration. I had the same issue with my skin becoming more dry as I age. I found the answer when I ventured into k beauty not because of their actives but their approach to moisture (toners, essence, serums) I learned how to layer my moisturizer and repair my skin barrier. I spot slug mostly around my eyes which just stays dry no matter what I do. Its been a journey but the rest of my face has improved. There is hope don’t give up it’s frustrating when your giving it your all but don’t give up.

I’ve heard Dr. Ben from Osmosis talk about how Tretinoin is very inflammatory and highly recommends Retinaldehyde. Currently I use Retin A, let that soak in while I brush my teeth, and then One Skin. I’m curious your thoughts on Tretinoin being inflammatory? And what are your thoughts on Retin A before One Skin or One Skin before Retin A? Thanks Penny! 💝

I’ve been using the Naturium retinal for the past month and I really like it. It’s my first retinal product since having a baby/finishing breastfeeding and I’ve had zero irritation. I am really struggling lately though with my under eye area and fine lines showing up. Any suggestions in addition to retinal? Any product or device?

Thank you for all you do to put these videos together. So helpful. Routine is: double cleanse (cause I use the ISDIN tinted sunscreen), the Reviv Growth Factor, Curology tretnoin, Touch Bright & Clear, moisturizer (5 nights a week). That's face routine. Neck and chest are different because very sensitive. Neck & Chest: Reviv serum, Maelove Moonlight, and Drmtology Peptide Neck Cream (3-4) nights a week. On nights, I do not use Curology tretnoin or Maelove retinaldehyde: I use the Avene Bakuchiol serum. Moisturizers I alternate between a Urea based moisturizer, Biossance Gel Probiotic and La Roche Posay Toleriane (tend to use this moisturizer when I use Curology since there's no HA in it).

It would be great if you could cover peeling oils!

Hello! Best recommendations for OTC Retinol? I don't like the yellow tinge that comes with Retrinal such as Avene, Peach and Lily, etc. 💖💖

Hi penny! Watch from the UK, love your stuff and you're gorgeous x

Oh thank you!

Another fabulous video from you, Penny! May I pose a question? I would love to try Priori DNA Repair but the Skinstore isn't recognizing your discount code of Penny for 26% off. Did I confuse this? Thanks! ❤

Is it true you shouldn’t use retinol products when breastfeeding? Thanks!

Nice recommendations, i use over the counter retinols daily as well as Tretinoin several nights a week. I was curious you hadn't mentioned Mealove Retinal, any thoughts? Also, I hear conflicting advice using peptides with retinol..i always use peptides after a retinoid..and i was wondering if I was wasting time and money! I'd love to see you do a video on products that conflict and visa/ versa.. great video concept, much appreciated 😊💕
