thank you Dr! hopefully you could have another demo for the neck application 😊 (esp for those people who are nervous about starting retinoids in the neck and chest area)

[@kendallstark4302]

Hello! I started tretinoin 0.025% exactly six weeks ago, on my face and neck. On my neck I apply it over Cerave moisturizing cream, and every 10 nights. It's purging, but not too badly. I thought about applying it every week after the 6-week mark, but I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Slowly but surely. I hope this helps! 💖

[@catarinaf3261]

2 to 3 times a week, I've been buffering my neck skin (insisting on the horizontal neck lines) and mixing my Tretinoin 0.05% with a basic, neutral, rich moisturizer (been using The Ordinary's NMF). I mix it on the back of my hand: 1 pea size amount of Tret + 1 pea size amount of moisturizer. This gives you a more gentle retinization, as Tret is absorbed more slowly by the skin. After using it on my face, I apply whatever is left on my fingertips to my neck. I started just below the jawline every other day and have now been applying to my neck sides and will slowly move towards the central area (only 2 to 3 times a week on the neck for now). I do my PM routine around 1.5 - 2 hours before going to bed to prevent Tret transfer. So far, so good 🙏 PS - By the way, I always leave a little bit of the Tret+moisturizer mix on the back of my hand and then rub it against the other one. Hands also need some love 😉😘

[@kendallstark4302]

@@catarinaf3261 that sounds like a good plan. I also do my nighttime routine around two hours before bed.

[@PsychicKathleen]

Thank you Dr Sam! I'm 68 and have been using retinols for years. BUT rather shyly :) I used the 1% (IOPE Korean, Granactive by the Ordinary, Paula's Choice 1%) and not every night. My skin looked fabulous. Some days amazing. So like so many others I slipped into that dreamlike state of, more must be even better! I bought some very $$$ retinoids - high strengths - and went full on every night and used far more than a pea. Maybe 3 peas 🤣 Proudly thumping my chest with how I'm such an experienced retinoid user, I'll be a champ. How UNCHAMPION I was after about 2 weeks. omg. I've never had problems with my skin. I always thought I had the toughest skin because it never got irritated, dry, rashy. I never had acne. I hate the sun (always have because I can't stand the heat and the brightness has always stung my eyes so that means I never sit out in it and I ALWAYS wear hats sunglasses and sunscreen). But the irritation that erupted after this retinoid glut was terrifying. Red, tight, scaly, itchy, dry. I immediately stopped all retinoids! I started slathering on heavy moisturizers, cleansing only with oil cleanser, mineral sunscreen. I went full on. I had even set my neck on fire by bringing it down into one side of my neck. It's now been about 3 weeks and my skin remains sort of blotchy mostly after cleansing. Once it settles my skin looks beautiful lol Luminous, almost translucent which I know is the result of all that retinol. But WOW has this ever made me sit up and pay attention to this powerhouse of a active. Watching your videos have SO helped me to be encouraged and I will return to using retinol for sure but RESPECT is the operative word from now on. Very circumspect with amounts, moisturizing and not every night. Maybe twice a week but at first I'll start with my milder ones and give it a few days to see how it responds. I don't know how long before my skin barrier is fully repaired. Maybe another 2 weeks? However long. It's getting better but slowly.

I started using retinol about 4 months ago, 0.25%. I use light moisturizer under, then retinol serum and moisturizer on top. Only small amount of retinol as shown on the video. I started with one night a week, and worked through to two as I wanted to take it slow. Unfortunately my skin is worse than ever! I don't experience dryness or redness but i started having HUGE and painful breakouts that leave hyperpigmentation. Also I noticed deep wrinkles showing up on my forehead which wasn't there before. All of it within 4 months. Did anyone else had the same experience? I thought the breakouts will stop, but they just keep getting worse and worse... I decided to stop retinol.

[@anniewhitmore7627]

Really helpful Dr Sam. As someone with esp sensitive skin I started using Nightly Serum every 7 days for over a month and then every 3-4 days. The mistake I then made was to increase the amount rather than the frequency and recently had very sensitised skin. It put me off using and I haven't used the Nightly since! This has inspired me to try again. One thing I am not sure about though is how to sleep properly so the serum doesn't end up moving on the face. Don't laugh, but I actually try and sleep on my back for most of the night to avoid any serum moving onto parts of my face I don't want. Consequently I don't always sleep very well! At what point in the sleeping cycle is it safe to sleep on your side without fear of serum movement? The other thing I think you could have mentioned is protecting lips further by using your lip balm or even vaseline over the lips to act as strong barriers to the serum accidentally migrating? Many thanks for this video :)

[@Patsysmiled]

Try to use your serum as early as possible in the evening. At least 2 hrs before bedtime but preferably longer if possible so the serum can do its work efficiently.

It's amazing, as well as indicative, to which extent dermatological recommendations differ in terms of European ones and the American. Not saying this because I am from Europe, but given the research I delved into, both with my dermatologist and by watching numerous KZbin presentations and "connecting the dots". ALWAYS follow recommendations from European ones. They are, to cut the long story short, healthier and taking health much more into consideration than the Americans'.

Non dermatologist opinion here with no scientific evidence 🤣 but my thought is that, in general, retinol is retinol (varying of course by % in the product).

thank you very much dr Bunting, one controversial thing I wanna learn is this: do we need to give intervals to usage of retinol, I mean I have been using it for a year now. Some say one or two months break is necessary for it to do its job.There is no reliable source about it but You 😊 appreciate your efforts 😍

Taking a break from it won’t make it more effective when you start using it again. It’s best to simply continue to use it. Some may notice a difference after taking a break from a retinoid because their skin could have started to revert back to a pre-retinoid state. It is logical, then, that the skin would start looking better after starting back up on the retinoid. Simply put: retinoids can make the skin look better. By pausing retinoids, the skin may become less good looking. Starting retinoids again will make the skin look like it did before when on retinoids (better as compared to no retinoids).

1st timer here!! If you went in too hard (didnt know about starting slowly and letting your skin build up to using) so there is a ton of peeling, once the peeling subsides due to great moisturizing, when do you start up using retinol again?

I was under the impression that Retinaldehyde was stronger than Granactive Retinoid...? I’m confused :-/. Thanks for your videos Dr. Bunting!
