I’ve been using the Beauty of Joseon Eye Cream all over my face for about a month now, in conjunction with my beloved Finacea (15% Azelaic Acid prescription) and I’m shocked with how good my skin looks (acne prone gal over here). Today, an older gentleman thought I was my husband’s daughter! 😂 I guess my anti-aging skin care routine is working! 😂

[@EzraSprouts]

So glad this combo is working for you - albeit a bit awkward for your hubby 😂 Can I ask how you layer these products? Azelaic often pills for me, especially pure form, and I often end up looking like a frantically erased maths equation 😭

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I makes me so happy to hear its working and I think azelaic acid and retinal are the best combo for anti aging.. love x

[@marcitarussell7807]

@@RafaellaSchumann don't you just love those comments!

[@RafaellaSchumann]

@@EzraSproutsI use the Azelaic Acid in the mornings, after an essence or serum (currently using an essence cause of the warmer weather) and sunscreen afterwards. Very simple routine. Had AA pilling in the past when I was using the Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid, however Finacea and a 10% AA serum I also tried don’t make me pill. Have you tried waiting for all your skin care layers to dry completely before and after AA, including the AA? (I know it’s time consuming 😣) or maybe simplify the routine you use AA with, using less products?

[@EzraSprouts]

@RafaellaSchumann Thank you so much for replying, much appreciated! Thought you meant you layered the retinal eye cream with azelaic, apologies - but those tips are helpful too! I use Geek&Gorgeous aPAD, or occasionally Paula's which is the main culprit for pilling! My morning routine has a couple more layers than yours, so will try paring it back to see if that helps. Thank you so much!

[@R_cccc]

My most fave retinoids is Adapalene. There is minimal, or probably none study about Adapalene for anti aging, however after using Adapalene for more than 1 year, I do see huge difference on my pores size, my skin elasticity & I also can apply it under my eyes without sensitivity & irritation. The only thing that Adapalene couldn’t really help is to reduce my hyperpigmentation.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I think adapalene is so underrated, its amazing for oily and acne prone skin but also so gentle its great for sensitive skin with ageing too.. love x

[@R_cccc]

@@MadAboutSkin totally agree with you, it’s so underrated. To help fading my hyperpigmentation, I also incorporate niacinamide, tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin & vitamin c derivatives, and all of these ingredients go really well too with Adapalene.

[@R_cccc]

@@lukastemberger I’ve been researching about Tretinoin and tbh I’m still scared to level up from Adapalene to Tret. May I know what percentage did you start with your Tret?

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

​@@R_cccc I also started with the .025 in combination with niacinamide. I did not have harsh reaction. But that was due to dermatologists recommendation that unapply my moisturizer first and start with once or twice a week. Inside that for a month then started using my peptide serum instead of moisturizer for another couple weeks before increasing to 3 times a week. I stayed at three tunes a week for a while, still seeing results, before going to nights a week. I still applied serum first and never experienced the burn. Unfortunately, my derm retired and the new one doesn't take my insurance. Now I'm using the Geek and Gorgeous A-Game 10.

[@R_cccc]

@@MommaOsoIrish67 because I’m still too scared to try Tret, I’m thinking the same as you, alternating Adapalene & Retinal. The Ordinary 0.2% retinal is higher percentage than the G&G 10, if you’re thinking of going higher on your retinal. ‘Go-to’ also has retinal serum that is even higher, at 0.25% fyi.

[@SBCinNC]

Been using the medik8 crystal retinal 20 for about a month now, find it much easier for my skin to tolerate than the ordinary retinal 0.2. Can even get away with it without using a moisturiser now. Really need to lather up the moisturiser with the ordinary. Geek and gorgeous a game 1 is a great product and easily tolerated by my skin. But obviously only half the strength of the ordinary and medik8. Keep up the fabulous content Rob.

I can second the tip about mixing a body moisturizer with the retinal oil! I've been doing it for a couple of months every week. Super soft skin and it's a really luxurious feeling 😊 I use just a standard dove body lotion, nothing fancy but the oil elevates it so much!

Hi Rob - congrats and good luck with the launch of your retinal oil and rebrand - you thoroughly deserve it to be a total success! I am catching up with your content - you work so hard I am behind but really enjoy your honest unbiased content. I just did the Medik 8 quiz and came out at level 6 for regular users but wonder if I should upgrade myself to the 10 strength. I tolerate the advanced Beauty Pie retinol nightly and b4 this was using the dermatica prescription for tret but did get irritation around nostril folds so stopped but tolerated it elsewhere pretty well, hence my thoughts that the level 10 strength Medik 8 might work, but my oh my, the price!! Keep doing what you do - honest, fair advice and including budget options so all can enjoy and benefit from good skincare. You are a star ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so so much these words mean so much to me and thank you for all your support .. I would think you should be ok with the Medik8 10 and if its a little much and you get irritation you can always just use a moisturiser first and that will minimise the impact and irritation a little.. love x

[@anniewhitmore7627]

@@MadAboutSkin 👍👍❤❤

[@slikjmuzik]

I just moved up to the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. So far I’ve been using it for about a week and using it 2 days on with 1 day off. The only ‘sensitivity’ I’ve experience is around the crows feet, however, I use the squalane cleanser, the multi-peptide + copper serum, then the aloe + NAG on top with no moisturizer. The aloe serum works wonders during the day to help minimize irritation, but again, I prefer to use the word ‘sensitive’ as opposed to full on irritation bc literally once I put on the aloe serum, within minutes, that small area calms down. I do like the product, I just cannot for the life of me get my whole face covered with one pump. I believe I’m a little over two pumps to get my forehead, cheeks and neck covered where all areas have a nice even coating that won’t just dry up in an hour. I guess your mileage may vary. If anybody else has experienced any of this, I’d like your feedback, if possible.

I have been using the Beauty By Joseon Eye serum now for a few weeks. Due to having seen a couple reviews that mention some light irritation, I did with this what I did when I jumped up from The Ordinary Granactive 2% Emulsion to The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, and that’s applying The Ordinary Aloe + NAG on my face first, then the retinal, then my moisturizer, which for me is The Ordinary Beta Glucan moisturizer. Yes, I like The Ordinary, as you can tell. I don’t see myself jumping up to Medik8 prices until The Ordinary stops working for me. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I tried tret but no matter what/when I applied it my skin just wasn’t having it. I moved back to differin and now use adapalene with 20% azelaic acid and my skin loves it!!

I agree and I am kicking myself for not mentioning it here as its a great option for non tret nights or for the neck :) sending you so much love x

[@meityty]

I use the A Game 10 & the BOJ retinal eye serum, and i love them, as im not in the uk was considering buying the Ksecret seoul 1988 serum next time instead of the G&G

[@MadAboutSkin]

Such great products and I think the k-secret is up there with the best too. love x

[@jcrider392]

I agree. Retinol won't be missed. Between my Tretinoin and the BoJ and Okuwake Eye Cream, I get my retinoid fix. I know this next ? was more last video but still relevant.. does anyone know anything about Natrium Multi Peptides for the growth factors serum? Almost got today, but LOVE the MAS Copper Peptides and didn't know if that would be too similar. Thanks so much

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun, I hope all is wonderful with you.. I havent been able to try it yet as its still on order to me but I cant wait to get my hands on it and I will be sure to let you know what I think.. I am a fan of the naturium formulations so excited for this one x

[@jcrider392]

​@MadAboutSkin Thanks, Rob, so I think I will go pick that up after all, along with their retinol body lotion I saw they had. These will be my first two products from them, so hearing you praise them gives me high expectations. See you tomorrow!

[@Lotta_K]

Thanks for a great video! ✨ My favorite is definitely TO's retinAL! I've been using retinOL up to 1% for years, but retinAL has proven to be much more effective and I've only been using it for a little over 2 months. I'm really impressed and already seeing great results! No more retinOL for me! 😎 Is or will MAS be available in Sweden? Good luck with the launch! 🌞

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun.. yes we ship to Sweden and have so many lovely customers there :) thank you so much for your support and for sharing your experiences.. love x

I like it, I think its best in addition to retinoids rather than instead of.. love x

Naturium has 0.05% and 0.1% retinal serums, which I am using to work up to The Ordinary 0.2%.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thanks Rob, really interesting. Currently using your oil and love it! How do I build up to using the Ordinary Retinal please? Love the new packaging of your products, ordered some today x

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh thank you so so much hun and thank you for your support.. If you can tolerate the oil I would maybe start using the or dainty twice a week and see how your skin reacts.. if you dont get any issue gradually increase from there.. I would keep using the oil only on the next though as this can be a super sensitive area for a high strength option.. love x

I told you😉. Thanks to the stupid restrictions that the EU applied exclusively to retinOL, now we can enjoy a variety of gorgeus affordable retinALs. Sometimes stupid things happen for a reason☺️... 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

Thank you so much hun.. We are indeed.. There was an issue sourcing the raw ingredients so instead of changing the formula we know everyone loves we decided to postpone manufacturing but it will be back in 6 weeks time and will come with free shipping so anyone who has already bought wont have to pay shipping again to do a second order for the copper peptides.. love xxxxx

I think Seoul 1988 also has a good retinal serum with a higher concentration.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh its a great option and one of my favourties for sure x

[@Florida_Mollie]

I have used tretinoin for many years. I am now 64 and am going in for a nano brow appointment. I have one good brow and one very sparse lighter brow. I’m tired of trying to pencil, color in the brows to match somewhat. My esthetician who is doing the nano said to stop tretinoin for 1-2 months before the procedure. I’m stressing that I will have to reacclimate to the tretinoin. What would you recommend?

[@Toria1980]

Hi rob, is your product as strong as the ordinary emulsion? Great video as always ❤ xx

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey hun, its not as strong as the ordinary one no, its the equivalent to the Medik8 or the G&G one but in an oil base.. love x

[@tthibideau]

The ordinary retinal is at 0.2%, where the mas retinal has an effective concentration of 0.075 % ( based on 0.05% retinal and additional retinoids).

Hi Rob, just looking at the new MAS site which looks fab - are you no longer selling your copper peptide serum? Is there a product similar to the thick face serum (I used to use it as a night serum because of the thickness). Thanks!

I used almost all retinols but nothing happening so please can you recommend only strongest retinols😢

[@Daily_maya]

I had great hope for g&g products but something is wrong with them. I don't quite understand it, I have used tret and other retinals before and in the case of these creams my skin condition deteriorates so much that I cannot accept it. I tried it on my face, on my back. Well, something is not working here. On the other hand, I must add that for a few weeks I have been using TO emulsion every third night and I'm absolutely delighted because the effects are really fast and at the same time there is no irritation.

[@nn7397]

Hello. Can you explain what kind of dereriation you see?

[@Daily_maya]

@@nn7397 hi! Sure: The skin becomes very congested. A large number of open comedones, the skin structure changes a lot. This isn't the usual purging that I have observed before with retinoids.

I’ve been using environ retinol 2, but the three days a week I use it nowhere near my neck my neck is a complete and utter mess. I definitely want to change and go to posh one ( in the silver tube, but I would have no idea what strength to use) and definitely need something really light for my neck. Maybe your oil would be a good idea. Idea for my neck as it’s so sensitive can you help and recommend? Xx

Where is the Avene RetriNal? Its also contain retinaldehyde but design for people with very sensitive skin. All of the other retinal just cause redness and itchyness on my skin.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Its an ok product but its not the cheapest and I think for most people they could use one of the cheaper ones in the video and get the same or better results.. now if it works for you and your sensitive skin then I would keep on using it as its a nice formulation.. love x
