Tamanu oil by itself heals acne scars, pigmentation issues, acne and tons of skin issues, but with tretinoin BOOM you’ll never age and your skin will be perfect! This girl knows what she is doing.

[@Lanafox1020]

Did you start straight with the 0.1% or used the lower percentages?

[@FluffyMuffinz95]

Thank you for posting the continuous updates. It's really difficult to find Brown skinned girls post their experience with tretinoin

[@OfficialTashika]

I know how you feel, I realise on youtube no one posts their whole journey from the start to end of using a product, they usually post when their skin is already clear and explain what products they use. I want you guys to get all the in and outs of my journey to clear skin because I know how helpful it will be💕

[@Quruxleey94]

THIS!

[@samee7635]

For anyone considering using tretinoin or currently on, make sure you avoid waxing ,threading, or any face mask peels since tretinoin is increasing skin turn over and will make it very sensitive. You could literally rip off your skin if attempt to.

[@OfficialTashika]

This is some good advice, also doing thorough research before starting Tretinoin is a must!

[@100crystalbell]

What if you are doing laser hair treatments

[@orianeyeboue-kouame2822]

Threading is actually fine !

[@the.lovelyjanaye1]

Yes, that is true! I got my eyebrows waxed and my skin literally ripped off.

My sister got Tretinoin prescribed by the dermatologist but she went the GP first. Hers is 0.025% which is less irritating. Your skin is looking great. I just started using Tretinoin hopefully It works for me

I had found your channel after I had wasted money on like 12 of the the Ordinary products about 4 months ago. Last month, I stumbled across tretinoin and ordered it! I haven't received it yet, but I thought let me watch more videos on it. You popped up AGAIN! I'm like this a sign! Definitely subscribing, thank you for sharing such a relatable journey with us! :)

[@Kaycia]

What you’re doing seems to be working really well for your skin. Thank you for the update beautiful 💓I know a lot of people treat Tretinoin like the devil but redness, dryness and purging are SIDE EFFECTS. Yes they can be minimised but not always completely avoided. I’ve also found so many people wanting to tell me what I’m doing wrong! 🙄 You’ve openly shared your mistakes and lessons learned and I really appreciate that. 💙

[@OfficialTashika]

Thank you for watching sis. The side effects are 99.9% likely to happen which is why they let you know. When I experience them I don't get worried because I know that it's working and it's all apart of the progress. Oh yeah, they treat you like you're uneducated because you're using it without guidance from a dermatologist and it gets me really annoyed. Of course, I'll make mistakes, it's all apart of the learning process and that's how I'll be able to help others🤗 💙

[@onyangotoelle8684]

For me some underlying pimples are being exposed and its discouraging but I know I have to continue to see results

[@dezzid.2558]

Hi sweetie!! I'm going to piggyback on other comments: please make sure to reapply sunscreen every 90 minutes! Regardless of the weather! Chemical sunscreen loses efficacy every two hours! For daily makeup, consider using a tinted sunscreen so reapplication is easier! I was on retin a a few years back, and cannot stress the importance of sunscreen and reapplication! Your skin looks beautiful, and God bless 🥰🥰🥰

[@kennishathomas7654]

Girl thank you for this. I started using it after you posted the first video and it has worked so well. Skin is clearing up nicely.

[@OfficialTashika]

You’re welcome, I’m glad you’re able to help💕

[@keletsoseleka2142]

I'm gonna start on my treatment soon and I'm actually a bit nervous and excited about it but I'm ready because your girl is tired of people always asking about my skin 😑.

[@OfficialTashika]

I completely understand how you feel. I remember a few years ago I went to my friend auntie to get my hair done and she said “omg what’s wrong with your face? You should try Africa’s black soap, your acne is really bad” like I didn’t know that already, I was happy when Tretinoin actually started working on my skin because lots of things I tried previously didn’t work for me.

[@sharonelizabeth7503]

Can i mix tretinoin 0.25% & moisturizer together & apply on my skin will it works ?

[@OfficialTashika]

Yes you can and it'll work but I'll take longer to see progress

[@lovebeauty7713]

You should apply a moisturiser before Tret, wait 20min and then apply Tret and then if it's not enough you can apply more moisturiser on top. It's called the sandwich method.

[@tonishawilliams481]

Hey Beautiful! THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!!! Trust me, I have been waiting. Looking good girl. I also have been on Retin A for almost 5 months now and my skin STILL flakes however the texture and the hyperpigmentation are 10x better. Im in the U.S so my dermatologist prescribed it to me and I have a few more tubes to refill sucks that its not prescribed in the UK. I am happy you were able to get your hands on some anyways. Keep us posted, you literally give me HOPE 🤞🏽❤️❤️

[@OfficialTashika]

Hey, no problem, thank you. Tretinoin really is the truth! I know our doctors really like to take the piss here, they don't want to give you the good treatment because they can't make a profit of us if we all have clear skin. I'll definitely you updated, I'm glad I'm about to help🥰

[@caseyconner5880]

Not sure if i would use an oil before Tretinoin. I use the CeraVe pm cream with a pea size Tretinoin and always use my fingers to rub it in. Not sure if using the brush is good. Your skin looks great.

[@OfficialTashika]

You don’t have to use an oil I’m just showing you what I do. The applicator has been working for me, you also don’t have to use it but I prefer not to get the Tretinoin on my hands because it’s so strong. Please don’t try to find faults in my routine, everything I do is currently working for me and if it wasn’t I’d stop and let you know. NEVER RUB YOUR SKIN. Tank you

[@dafamg1050]

Casey Conner I use the same method

[@shanicadees9787]

Becareful with your eyebrows and edges it can cause hair thinning.. Also, i use it on my neck and i'm glad it hasn't been a problem. I'm also starting at a much lower percentage of tret!

[@oluwabunmionanaye2886]

I ordered Tretinoin after watching your video, been using it for 5 weeks now, my acne has reduced drastically, the dark spots have gotten way lighter and it also got rid of the rough texture in my skin, that was surprising lol. Also, I use pure shea butter to moisturize while my skin is damp in the morning. Thank you very much❤️

[@adaomoji9802]

Did you start using it everyday or once a week at first?

[@tiffanyedmonds1082]

I am so happy you have found something that works! Please use a whole pump of sunscreen for your forehead - it is discolored. But amazing results!!!

[@OfficialTashika]

Thank you and I will apply more 🤗 however, my skin has always been like this even before I started using skincare products. I don’t think your whole face is suppose to be the exact same tone, the forehead is usually a little darker same with the area around the mouth and the natural contour of your face, especially if you’re black.

[@acorn1906]

Damnnn, you're brave af going straight in with 0.01%. I just started using the 0.0025% cream about a week ago and the side effects are real!! I suppose it depends on skin type too, I have sensitive skin and it's dehydrated too! I'm yet to peel though

[@OfficialTashika]

I didn't go straight in with the 0.1% I used the 0.05% for a few weeks but after years of struggling with acne, you get brave enough to try anything to cure your acne, believe me! Also, if you've seen my previous skincare videos you'd know that I've used acids on my skin before using Tretinoin which helped to build up tolerance. I believe I have very tough skin and stubborn acne so honestly my skin can go through a lot.

[@acorn1906]

@@OfficialTashika Yeah that's completely fair! We all know our skin better than others, wish I could go in with higher percentages though :)

[@OfficialTashika]

Abbie-Louise Coe if you do you can start once every two weeks then see how your skin reacts, if not then try to find the lower percentage

I will continue with 0.025% even though it takes time...thank u beautifull girl...u are the 9ne who inspired my tretinion journey...

[@jonishaadams8256]

I’ve been searching through comments for someone using this on blackheads. Does the Tretinon push them up out the skin? My blackheads are stubborn and needs to be extracted.

[@tianaavery3074]

I use “RETIN A” cream 0.05 it’s a type of tretinoin but it’s more powerful and can only be prescribe from a dermatologist because it can damage your skin badly but it helps with acne and wrinkles also I’m from the US and I also use a antibiotic pad for my face that’s prescribed

[@OfficialTashika]

You're right Retin A cream is a type of Tretinoin. The cream is said to be less likely to irritate your skin as it works slower because of this it will also take longer to see results. It's good for dry and sensitive skin and can be used for wrinkles and fine lines too. In the UK they don't prescribe Tretinoin so we have to buy it at our own risk if we want to use it.

[@ItsFerguson]

Hey, where do you order the tretinoin from please? I used to order it years ago online when you release this but I can’t remember the contact x

[@davinasobaren9359]

Hi there, try applying your moisturizer whilst your skin is still damp then you will have way less dryness .

[@OfficialTashika]

Thanks for the tip

[@mlybshr4121]

I just watched your video about the ordinary peel your skin looks soo smooth and clear in comparison, i hope that your skin will get 100% clear 👏🏾👏🏾

[@mlybshr4121]

and chemical sunscreen can be irritating that's why most ppl don't like it

[@mlybshr4121]

so ppl with sensisitive skin should not use it and ppl with normal skin should patch test before

[@OfficialTashika]

That’s because Tretinoin is an actually acne treatment and the peeling solution isn’t, it only helps to brighten and smooth the skin, which kinda makes it look clearer but as soon as you stop using it your skin will go back to normal. That’s true but physical sunscreen can block pores because they have a heavier consistency and it also sits on your skin and makes it look white, because it doesn’t absorb into the skin like chemical sunscreen. You should always do a patch test before using skincare products especially acids, regardless if your skin is sensitive/normal. It’s up to the individual if they choose not to they’re using it at their own risk.

[@ruthkperrun8551]

Hello Tashika, Ive watched all your videos and I think you're really pretty. Question: which neutrogena hydro boost do you use, the gel cream or the water gel?

[@user-dreamyjc..]

It's been over a month since the first time I used it.. It had caused me purges and my face started to peel. At fourth week there's still some traces of peelings around my mouth but my skin is much better now.

[@TS-tc9ir]

Did you ever exfoliate the dead skin that was coming off naturally? x

[@OfficialTashika]

I didn't exfoliate but I used an oil method to remove the dead skin in the first few months, after than I just let it come off naturally. Please watch my first video using this products, you'll see the method I'm talking about💕

[@ashleyjosephs4379]

U should only use tretinoin in the night. When u starting out u use it every other night as well to build up tolerance. A little goes a long way . It makes ur skin worse before it get better because it allows ur skin to purge. Do not use it in the day however u should ensure u always wear sunscreen. I too am using it because my dermatologist recommended it and I’m on my second tube ....love love love it! Also it’s something that has to be prescribed

[@OfficialTashika]

That is true, I wouldn't start with the 0.1% every other night though it's way too strong. I started using it often and had to cut down, I'm using it every 3 nights now. Yes you have to get it prescribe but in the UK they don't prescribe it at the GP and these other website trick you into buying a monthly subscription and trick you saying the product only lasts for 1 month which isn't true. This way you keep buying the product monthly, that's how they make money. This is why everyone tries to buy it online.

[@ashleyjosephs4379]

Tashika Bailey yep I actually use .05% takes a while to work but I love the results

[@OfficialTashika]

Yeh the 0.5% can be use more often as it’s not as strong as the 0.1% 🤗

Never dry your face with anything hun just go straight in with your moisturiser and let it dry....you get more hydration especially with the hydraulic acid in your face cream and prevent anything else touching your face. Even paper towels collects dust. Happy clear skin🧡😊🧡

[@OfficialTashika]

Why are you telling me what to do? Please don’t I hate people doing that, I’m not stupid! I said I usually let my face air dry but sometimes I want my face to dry quicker, no one has time to be standing around with a wet face when they have things to do and places to be. I literally don’t do anything bad, I’m using a CLEAN paper towel, not a flannel and you’re hear telling me paper towels collects dust (I don’t have hay fever, dust is the least) and don’t dry your face with anything! There’s always someone being negative in my comments ffs - why can’t you be happy that my skin is clearing instead of looking for something to tell me not to do, I didn’t ask for that. The purpose of this video is to show you how I apply my skincare products and to help others in the process.

[@zionzamani8569]

Oooohh lawrd ah mercy😂 i guess you took my msg in a negative way. Maybe the word “never” triggered you (my bad should’ve used a better word) It was honestly just a suggestion as it allows more moisture on to the skin without drying your face and it literally absorbs in about 30secs. You don’t have to take my suggestion and I wasn’t trying to tell you what to do. I guess you read it that way. I’ve watched most of your videos and have nothing negative to say Happy clear skin🧡😊🧡

[@OfficialTashika]

I get a lot of people telling me what to do and treating me like I’m stupid because I didn’t go to a “dermatologist” first and I hate it. My bad, I thought you were doing the same thing. I wouldn’t apply the Neutrogena gel-cream or the Tamanu oil straight on to my dripping wet face though, that’s why I dried it a lot with a clean paper towel and I did mention that I let my face air dry most of the time because I know people will say don’t use things on your face.

[@OfficialTashika]

It’s up to you how you use it and it depends on which one you’re using. Please watch my first video and the 2 months update for more info on how I used it before this video.

[@chanpreetkaur9368]

Hi dear, your video is very informative i like your videos but after watching this i want to confirm one thing that if we r using tretinoin and wants to include (salsilic, glycolic or niacinamide) these acids also for acne and pigmentation so how we can include these in our skin care routine as usage of tretinoin already gave us redish skin with burning sensation if u can reply i will be so thankfull to you as i am struggling with my skin...

[@OfficialTashika]

Hey, thanks for watching my videos I'm glad you found them helpful. Honestly, I can't give any advice when it comes to using acids with Tretinoin as I haven't done it and I wouldn't recommend it. It can be dangerous if you mix the wrong acids and I don't have the knowledge of which acids work well with Tretinoin and which don't. I believe Tretinoin on it's own works perfectly and you won't need any other acids so please try it on it's own first. If you really want to use acids along with it please do some research on your own and use it at your own risk.

[@chanpreetkaur9368]

Thank u dear, for ur valuable advice I really appreciate dat you somehow managed to revert me back🥰❤❤

[@GGiebaybee]

How powerful is this product ? I heard some peels are too powerful for deeper complexions and I have a very deep complexion. FITme foundation shade is 380 “Espresso”

[@OfficialTashika]

I don't know how to judge the powerfulness on a scale but I've seen a lot of brown skin black women use it and it has been fine with their complexion. There are different strengths and type e.g.: cream for sensitive and dry skin, so it shouldn't be a problem for deeper complexions. Just use a lower strength (if you can find it) and the cream form which doesn't irritate the skin as much as the gel. If not use the gel once every two weeks to start, then once a week and see how your skin reacts to it. Also, please do more research on the different types and strengths of Tretinoin

[@GGiebaybee]

Tashika Bailey Tashika Bailey thanks for your reply ! My friend uses it too but we’re not the same complexion. An esthetician once told me certain peels may burn deeper complexions so I didn’t want to try it but I e literally tried everything 😭. Thank you for your suggestion 🙏🏿 and I will definitely do my research

[@HennaSahota]

Can you do a makeup application video now that you’ve been on Tretinoin for a while? Do you find wearing foundation to be troublesome?

[@OfficialTashika]

I will do a makeup video soon. I only find wearing makeup troublesome if my skin is slightly peeling and on those days I try not to wear makeup. On the days when my skin isn't peeling, I wear makeup and my foundation applies smoothly and looks smooth too. It's really amazing what Tretinoin has done for my skin.

[@nikkyshairades9078]

Does it work for you?

[@romeogaming4939]

Since from one wk im using tretinoin 0.025 After how many days i can see the result? And im not using sunscreen or moisturiser bcz i hv not seen any changes in my face so Pls tell me is 0.25 percent cream good or not

[@shantelnoir]

When you first started did you leave the Tretinion on all night ?

[@yah7130]

Pls can you post the link to where you got the tretinoine from. Thanks

[@dynamitedynamite2737]

Can tretinoin 0.025% help fade dark old post inflammatory hyperpigmentation like chemical burns and help with texture like pitted indentations? For dark skin tones ?

[@YusraStyle]

You can use cica based products, gel or cream in day time before or after moisturiser according to consistency

I’m about to start week 3 of tretenoin and I am PURGING LIKE HELL. Any advise to try and dry out the purging acne? It’s not my usual acne because the bumps hurt and feel a bit cystic.

[@HennaSahota]

NiaRae Allen that happens when you start Tretinoin sometimes. The medicine is bringing all the acne that would have happened anyways to your skin. Keeps pushing thru it don’t give up. Also you should check out r/Tretinoin on reddit. That subreddit is a wealth of information for anyone starting Tretinoin. Good luck!

I didn't really experience purging because my acne was so bad when I started. Just keep going and your skin should get clearer, smoother and brighter, it's all apart of the progress!

[@mokakuma7329]

Thank you for the video, but does tretinoin remove acne scars holes, you know those who form a hole in your skin after the acne has gone, does this cream remove it?

[@OfficialTashika]

Honestly, I've done a lot of research on Tretinoin and I'm not sure, I haven't heard anyone use it for that purpose or say it helped remove their acne scar holes. You should do some more research or speak to a doctor💕

@@OfficialTashika thank you for responding me, but you have tried it

[@OfficialTashika]

Yeah, I've tried Tretinoin but I didn't have acne scar holes on my skin so I didn't use it for that purpose. I used it to remove my acne and hyperpigmentation, you'll have to try it yourself and see how it clears your skin.

[@roniquekawilson2551]

I have Oily skin and also my skin is really dry after being cleansed and wanted to know what percent of gel I should start off with and what face serum would you recommend to use with the gel.

[@OfficialTashika]

Hey, I would recommend starting with the 0.05% cream not gel, it's for sensitive and dry skin. It'll irritate your skin less but it'll take longer to see results so you have to be patient and stay consistent with it. I can only recommend the products I've been using which are all in this videos, however, I've seen other KZbinrs using different products maybe check out their channel: Rachel Sheridan, Dr Dray etc and do some more research

Did you start with 0.1%? I have just been prescribed tretinoin 0.025 by an online dermatologist. I don't really have active acne, just hyperpigmentation and dark spots. I hope I don't react badly to it

[@OfficialTashika]

Please watch the first video I have on my channel the answer is there. Is it the cream of the gel? I'm sure the 0.25% will work but it'll take longer as it's such a low concentration. You should probably do a patch test on a small area and see how your skin reacts to it.

hi do you recommend starting with 0.1% to start. I wouldn’t say I have sensitive skin?❤️

I would recommend started with the 0.5% if you can find those. You can start with the 0.1% but I would recommend using it once every two weeks then once a week and see how your skin reacts to it🤗

Hi I’m using differin. adapalene 0.1% and what I noticed is I come out in crusts which peel and leave dark hyperpigmentation spots which after 4 months still haven’t gone , I don’t know if adapalene is bringing up melasma or old post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from beneath my skin . Can tretinoin help fade old post inflammatory hyperpigmentation?

It will cause you to break out at first but just continue and make sure you moisturize always and always always use sunscreen when going out 💝 You'll get there girl

[@vonteereyy8411]

update ?

[@skylarblue]

You need to apply it to just the dark areas so your face dsnt look patchy and you will get a more even tone for best results you should try triluma cream it’s the best cream out there for hyperpigmentation

The cream is for dry and sensitive skin so it has less side effects and it will work slower than the gel which means it’ll take longer than the gel to start seeing e improvement.

Can i use tretinoin for black spots and old acne scars?..and what percentage...and do i use it everyday? and do i use it only on the areas or on the whole face?..does it also work for pores?

[@OfficialTashika]

You can use it for acne and hyperpigmentation. Start slow with the 0.25% then move to the 0.5% if you want to take risks you can start with the 0.1% but it best to start slow so your skin can build up tolerance. How often you use it and where you use it is honestly up to you, starting slow is best so you can see how your skin reacts before you start using it everyday.

[@subscribeforsomeafricanvil7105]

I have been battling pigmentation from sunburns. I went to see a skin doctor who prescribed a night brightening cream (forgot the name) but it is usually kept in the refrigerator. The first week my skin looked better, but after sometime it becomes way too light almost pale, red especially when in the sun, sometimes when I run or do heavy work, it turns red and when I skip a few days the areas I have been applying start to become dark again. So I stopped using it, and still battling my pigmentation and mind you I live in a country that is hot almost all year long. I have tried chemical peels, and they do not work one bit. I am thinking of trying the tretinoin

[@EmersonSanPedro]

I'm on tretinoin for 1 month and 10 days now. I can use it for every other night now. Sometimes 2 days night straight and one day off. I use to cleanse my skin with just Dove soap. But I switch to double cleansing and I've notice huge difference with my skin. I also use cetaphil. It really makes a huge difference on my skin. The key is patience. If you don't have patience then tretinoin isn't for you. How do you find the Tamanu oil? Is it working?

[@DavinaAwobodu]

@beez stung What do you use to double cleanse? 💕

[@OfficialTashika]

Great to hear you've been finding products that have been working for you! 👏🏽 You got that right, patience is everything when it comes to skincare! The tamanu oil hasn't done anything amazing or bad to my skin so far, I'm still testing it to see if it's going to do anything but I'm happy it hasn't made my skin worst. I just love homoisturizingng it is on my skin!

Thanks Tashika Bailey for the video am grateful you listened to me.please if am starting tretinol newly can I get one with a 0.1% and please what other type of oil moisturizer can an acne skin use, I don't think I can get that one in Nigeria

[@OfficialTashika]

Starting with the 0.25 is best so your skin can get used to it. Then work your way up to the 0.5% and 0.1%. Obviously, Tretinoin is very difficult to get so if you manage to get the 0.1% you should start using it slowly, a pea sized amount, once every 2 weeks then once a week depending on how your skin handles it. Please do your own research as well🤗
