Thank you for these videos. My mother passed along generally good skin genes and my skincare routine has always been above-average but not always the best. I mostly used Lab Series and Clinique for Men once I was able to afford them but moved to drugstore brands as they've improved. Your videos help instill confidence in drugstore brands (although my dermatologist provides me with a prescription tretinoin solution), and your emphasis on consistency is comforting because I've been consistent for almost 40 years, beginning in my 20s. Being a mid-Boomer, having northern European/British Isles genes, and coming of age during the 60s and 70s and the "get that deep, dark, native tan" era, I did plenty of sun damage to my skin during my youth. My Navy career probably didn't help much and I'm also a life-long avid outdoors athlete. However, my facial complexion receives compliments, the most gratifying being along the lines of "You look like a person who spends a lot of time outdoors, but one who takes good care of his skin." A melanoma on my shoulders, back, or lower extremities isn't out of the question, and I'm 67 now and not far from getting on my final glideslope, but my arrival at the gate should be with a decent countenance. Thank you again!

[@SupagalSimmi]

Step 1: Is the retinoid right for you? Step 2: Pick your retinoid product. Types; Prescribed and over the counter. (Consistency and strength) High concentration = more irritation. Step 3: Put it in skincare properly (night with moisturiser, not with vitamin c and benzoyl peroxide) Step 4: Start slowly (use once and wait for few days watching out for irritation/redness, then use three times a week and dont use too much) Step 5: Be consistent.

Dear Dr, please make videos for us people of skin of colour. Lots of things that work for Caucasian skin tones don't seem to work for many of us. I'm not a Dermatologist myself. As a medical student I was not bright enough to be able to enter my much desired and loved competitive specialty Dermatology. Yet, I have a lot of patients asking me lots of questions that I don't have training and wisdom about. I recommend and refer them to your KZbin videos, because I am a fan of yours because you are honest, sincere, dignified, respectful, budget friendly and very understanding and approachable to whom our general public can relate to easily. 🙏

Saturday, then following Saturday & Sunday, then following Sat, Sun, Mon, etc) to help my skin get acclimated. It worked and I can now use it every night with no reaction.

I bought myself a Christmas gift -- a Retinoid! I found an affordable Retinaldehyde product online in the Avene line, it's called Woman Cleanance Night Smoothing Cream. I bought it from Caretobeauty for 22 US dollars. It's more affordable than Avene Retrinal. Maybe it has lower concentration of retinaldehyde. Just waiting for it to get delivered. My Olay Retinol 24 Serum bottle is almost empty and right now I feel more excited to try Retinaldehyde after watching this.

You're right about going about using the retinol gradually. I started using the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 a little over a month ago. I generally have sensitive skin to begin with. I love this product! But I wish I would have listened to you the first time around in your skin care routine video, to use retinol gradually. I was using this almost every night, if not every night. For the first couple of weeks, my skin was fine, great even! Then, boom, my face got red, rough, sooo itchy, painful and really warm to the touch. The only thing I could tolerate on my skin was water. No makeup, nothing. It was soo painful. It started 2 weeks ago and it's just now clearing. I want to use it again, the right way, when I'm sure that my skin is back to normal. Listen to you this time. Lesson learned!!!

@@TheBudgetDermatologist We appreciate your practical tips. I changed my approach to skin care after I subscribed to your channel. I have dry, eczema prone skin complicated by monthly hormonal pimples. I used to follow the Korean skin care fad of 8-10 steps. Which is time consuming, pricey, and I even ended up with more pimples and pimple marks. Now, I am just following the basics: AM: Salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser (I use BP cleanser a week prior to my period). Cerave AM moisturizer with spf 30 PM: Micellar water to remove sunscreen Cetaphil cleanser Olay Retinol Serum Cerave PM moisturizer No more layering of toners, essences, emulsion, ampoules and masks. You are absolutely correct that simpler routine works better: easier compliance and it delivers results. I managed my hormonal acne better with this approach. Thank you so much!

I was getting deep cyst like acne. Like just one deep bump under my skin. My Dermatologist gave me the vague answer that these were most likely caused by "anti-aging products". I generally do not have acne and I have very dry skin. (not a skincare Doctor but for my annual skin cancer screening). I am still not sure what ingredient he was referring to but I have stopped all of my "anti-aging" products. I will try your advice here and start one of these items slowly. Thank You.

Got my brows waxed after starting Tretinoin… actually forgot I used it recently… blisters and pain… lesson learned!

[@neitherhotnorflashy1677]

This is the first time I've heard a derm recommend the OTC versions which is great because its a great way to desensitise your skin and work up to tretanoin. I didn't do this, but can see the reasoning. If you are really sensitive, and think you might react, having a 1cm patch of extremely irritated skin is much easier to manage than your whole face, so start with a test patch. I learned this after being prescribed tretanoin over 50 years from the age of 9 (back then it was an oil). Over the years, each time I had to see a derm for rosacea or cystic acne, it would be prescribed again. I was never successful, couldn't get past the first application. More recently, a GP prescribed it for "anti-aging". Now, thanks to KZbin and all the support groups on social media and also COVID lockdown, I summonsed the courage to try again, this time starting with a test spot the size of my finger on the right side of my face and used it as advised (once a week for the first month, then twice a week for the next month, then three times etc). Incredibly, it worked like it was supposed to, eventually not being so reactive. That gave me the confidence to start a spot on the left hand side, and repeat the process. The marvellous thing about tretanoin is that it travels, so a finger sized spot actually is double that size due to the product travelling. Slowly, the treatment area was expanded in ever widening circles, the immediate skin around it was already semi-adjusted, so it didn't take as long for that area, then the next. It probably took about 6 months in all to be able to tolerate it. Even now after another twelve months, I am still on only 3 times a week, although sometimes I might give it a rev up on the weekends applying it twice in a row.

I want to use retinoids because I know that they are the gold standard for anti-aging, but I'm really nervous about doing so...I used tretinoin for a while and experienced a very noticeable decrease in volume/subcutaneous fat in my face. I didn't lose weight or change anything else in my skincare routine. I stopped using it for a while, but ended up using it again for acne, and the same thing happened. I did some digging and it looks like some people have experienced a similar effect. I know that retinoids are a less potent version, but I'm worried that they'll still do the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue?

[@cathysmith6697]

Very helpful and understandable. I will definitely be starting one of these gentle retinols. I had been afraid and overwhelmed from watching other videos. This was reassuring.

[@megaliberty]

I thought I could get away with alternating adapalene and a strong glycolic acid product each night, but I ended up an irritated, blotchy mess. Now I am only using the glycolic acid product once a week, and Roc Deep Wrinkle cream each night, with no irritation. Even though I didn't use glycolic acid and adapalene at the same time, my skin couldn't adapt. I will be going on tretinoin soon. I am skeptical of using adapalene for wrinkles, since it works via a different pathway than tretinoin. I think of it more as an acne specialist. To my knowledge their is a much larger body of evidence for tretinoin for wrinkles than adapalene. I have had good luck with using Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% essence under the Roc retinol cream, so I will try this approach with tretinoin. There are no heavy occlusives in the essence, so I figure it will slow down the absorption of tretinoin but not block it.

I love that you mention that they all are the same either way because retinols do get converted to retinoic acid in the skin, the OTC retinols are just less irritating generally.

I have a question: Is it necessary to use a cleanser the following morning after I use Retin-A? On mornings I use to wash my face only with cold water and I only use a gel once a day at night (Sebium gel moussant by Bioderma)

[@carmen6364]

Great video..should I wash my face in the morning then apply vitamin C, being that I used the retinol night before

Just wanted to let everyone know who is considering the adapalene route, there is a product called AcneFree. It has the exact same ingredients as LaRoche Posay (which is pretty close to Differin) that is only $18.99. That's $10 less than the other 2. I found it by typing in 'adapalene' at Amazon.

I use the acne free cleanser while on retina .05 it’s working fine . It’s gentle not too harsh

This is the most detailed information that I'm looking for before I started retinol. Thank you Dr.❤❤❤

[@alexiaflores9459]

Thanks for your videos. I love them.... Do you recommend eye creams? If so,which ones would be good to prevent wrinkles?

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

Great question! I have a lot of opinions on eye creams. I am doing a whole video on it that is going to be my next to upload. Stay tuned!

[@erikamince]

Is it okay to use CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and then follow with use CeraVe Retinol Serum with? I know you mentioned in another video not to mix products with Hyaluronic Acid.

[@bluemoon9501]

How about in a eye cream? Should this be applied on dry skin or after a serum has fully absorbed and dried on the skin? What about using aha moisturizer in the AM after using a retinol at night?

[@kellydang541]

I think you’d better use aha moiturizor the other day. For exampl you use retinoid on mon/wed/fri PM. Then aha moisturizor on tue/thu/sat am becoz aha is form of acid in moisturizor cream for removing dead skins. Shall not use acid in am & retinoid in pm same day. Its too much for your skin.

This is the best retinol video ever. No fuss and easy to understand
