How to use La Roche Posay Redermic Retinol Cream

[@ArchaeaZero]

This might be the best skin care video I've ever seen honestly. Thank you so much for this.

[@iKalipso]

I actually prefer applying the redermic eye cream first and then the redermic cream. I have very sensitive eyes and this way I avoid transferring some of the residue of the face cream around the eye area.

I am so impressed and grateful for your videos! Skincare can be so confusing let along how to use them in what sequence. thank you for taking the time to make all these extremely helpful and easy to follow videos! Thank you 😊

Great video. I love how you go into details and explain each step and each product.

Hi Melissa! Whats the difference between this Retinol Cream and the B3 Retinol Serum?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

One is a cream, and the other is a serum, but they both have 0,3% retinol. So means that it depends on what you prefer, the efficacy will likely stay the same, but the cream may not be as irritating.

[@urszulax2892]

I absolutely love your videos. I am using this cream now , been using it for the past month now and its amazing. Helped my skink ! I use it with hyaluronic acid and nacinamide , retinol and last B oil ! My skin absolutely love it 😍

Hi Melissa, I have been using The Ordinary Granactive retinol 5% for a while & I use it every night. Can you tell me if the product I am using or this la Roche-Posay product is stronger I.e may provide better results? Love your channel btw

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You have Granactive Retinoid 5%, which is not Retinol. And it is hard to tell which one is stronger, but if you go with the bit of research available, the 5% Granactive Retinoid would be stronger; however, it will show less irritation. You can read all the details here: Granactive Retinoid: incidecoder.com/ingredients/hydroxypinacolone-retinoate Retinol: incidecoder.com/ingredients/retinol

Hi Melissa, Im changing bit my skincare and looking for better retinol than the ordinary 0.5. I might been breaking out from ordinary products, so im thinking about neutrogena retinol boost serum or la roche posay. I have combo skin wit acne prone and sensitive. What would you recommend and that is helpful for acne and anti age?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I would use Good Molecules' 0.1% Gentle Retinol Cream or Geek & Gorgeous Retinal. However, have you checked my Community Tab regarding the experiment I'm currently conducting for my acne? If not, I recommend checking it out. www.youtube.com/@MelissaVanDijkOfficial/community

[@lotuscabrio2937]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thankyou :) however, im not a fan of retinol creams. I prefer serum. I m sticking to ordinary because I do think helps my acne less less.

Hi melissa. I want to know why La roche posay didn't mention the concentration of retinol in this product.

Not sure why they do not have it on every website but it is 0,3%. www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/redermic-r-anti-wrinkle-treatment-30ml/LRPUK-063.html

Hey could you please tell me what u think about replacing the hyalu from la roche for the marine hyaluronics from the ordinary ? And what about the retinol from the inkey list ? What u think about it ? Thank you so much! Ps: I have oily acne prone skin, could you please recommend the products that u think would be more suitable for my skin type ? Thank you so much!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics has a very light texture, so from that perspective, it's better. However, the Hyaluronic Acid serum gives you more of a plumped skin. So it really depends on what you want to achieve. I haven't tested The Inkey List Retinol long enough to see the benefits. However, the texture felt great on the skin, and since it has a very low % it's ideal for people new to retinol. For Oily Acne-Prone skin, I suggest Paula's Choice 0,3% Retinol + Bakuchiol (If you want to have anti-ageing benefits as well) La Roche Posay Retinol Serum (contains fragrance) or the best would be Differin 0,1%.

[@bongbaobun]

Hi Melissa! I have been dealing with deep and stuborn cheek acne. Would you reccomend this retinol for acne treatment?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) Are you referring to active acne or acne scars?

[@bongbaobun]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thanks for the response! The acne is still active but some have healed and left me with strong hyperpigmentation. I have been using the la roche posay effaclar duo + and noticed that it actually worsened my acne - it went from simple clogged comedones to quite inflamed papules and some pustules. I am desperate cuz im doing my best to treat it. Hydrating and Eating well, Exercise, double cleansing, sunscreen everyday, changing pillow cases every 3 days… i hope retinoid is the solution 🥹

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

If it makes your skin worse...stop using it! Have you ever tried a 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser? If not, I recommend using that one instead, which you can use either all over your face or just in the affected area. You can also alternate between that one and a regular cleanser that's suitable for your skin type.

I've been using this Retinol for 6 months. When would you recommend moving on to a stronger strength product.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) What Retinol do you currently use? Can you use it daily in your evening skincare routine? Have you noticed some improvements while using it for 6 months?

[@ajdinomanovic9758]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks for replying. I use the same one in the video (Radermic Retinol). But because I was very hesitant - I spent 4/5 months using a moisturiser as a buffer, and only now put the Retinol directly onto dry skin. I'm still waiting for improvements to show, but I think I'm only now going through the purging process.

@@ajdinomanovic9758 Ok, so I recommend keeping on using LRP Redermic Retinol Cream on dry skin for some time before moving up to a higher strength.

Hi … Can use 2rotines in same day In the morning (niacinmide + azelicacid) Evening niacimide + diffren gel)!? Or can use 3at same time ??? I complain of brown discoloration due to sun damge …and red acne spots…I haven’t acne cause I stopped isotratonin course before 1 month ….but ineed care routine to avoid oily skin sensation….

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You can't really do much to stop the oil. What works best is an oil regulating moisturizer. (something like La Roche Posay Effaclar Matt)But you can use some skincare products three times a day. However, I am not sure if that is beneficial; your skin may not need that much, so you are just wasting a lot of product, and you are potentially irritating the skin. And I also wonder if you can already use Differin since you have used isotretinoin. So it may be best to ask your doctor for that. He/she could give you better advice for your specific skin needs.

[@munazzamonwermm]

Hi melissa! I have acne prone dry skin. In the morning i use cerave hydrating cleanser after that i apply vichy hylaronic acid, inkey list vit c serum and weleda skinfood. At night i use the same cleanser, paula’s choice bha liquid, paula’s choice azeliac acid booster and cerave hydrating cream. My pores still get clogged all the time, and i get small breakouts i don’t understand what i’m doing wrong😔 even tho i extract the blackheads the next day they are back!!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It is probably Weleda Skinfood or and the CeraVe moisturizing cream. Both are very rich. You have dry skin, but still, you need to be careful when using such thick creams. They most often make matters worse. My advice would be to try something light such as NIOD Hydration Vaccine or Paula's Choice Water-Infusing Electrolyte Moisturiser or La Roche Posay Ultra Fluid, probably in combination with a Retinol or even Retinoid. AM: Cleanser Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C Moisturizer, e.g., NIOD Hydration Vaccine PM1 (2-3x per week): Cleanser Paula's Choice 2% BHA Azelaic Acid Booster PM2 (3-4x a week) Cleanser Differin 0,1% Moisturizer e.g., NIOD Hydration Vaccine

[@lastbob2502]

I don't use water to wash my face at all for 10 years or more, just La roche miscellar water for sensitive skin. Is that enough prep or I need a cleanser? Tap water here is terrible.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Using micellar water as your sole method of facial cleansing can be effective for removing dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin. However, micellar water may not be as effective as a traditional cleanser at removing sweat, bacteria, and other impurities that can accumulate on your skin throughout the day. While tap water quality can vary depending on your location, it's generally safe to use tap water to cleanse your face if it's not too harsh or drying for your skin. However, if you find that tap water is irritating or drying your skin, it's understandable that you would want to avoid it.
