Retinol for SENSITIVE SKIN | Dermatologist's Guide

[@kristinj7173]

The Cerave product you have pictured and linked is the exfoliating one, not the retinol product. FYI. They are both purple.

Great video, Dr. Liu. I use the Skin Better Alpha Ret and it is truly the gold standard. While it is a higher price point, it lasts a long time.

[@user-ws7pf3kz7f]

Yes I do have sensitive, dry and rosacea

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

Yes, I'd like review of Retinal

[@riddlememphis]

I have sensitive combo skin that is seasonally really oily or really dry. I love the versed retinol. It is an excellent beginner formula. Low concentration and texture like a gel moisturizer so layers well with a light moisturizer in summer or a heavier one in winter. I originally used it a couple times a week and now can use it daily. When this bottle runs out, id like to try something a little higher concentration, but still mild.

Beauty of Joseon has a retinal that is for eyes but can be used for the whole face as well. e.l.f. has a retinol serum that contains retinal as well.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Love those as well

[@whatnext715]

Very helpful, thanks. I’d love to see a video with your recommendations for retinal and for granactive which is another form I’ve seen frequently.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Great suggestion! Will do

[@lilac_dimond2879]

Good info dr Jenny thanks for sharing.

[@karenwalker8682]

i’ve been able to work up to using 0.025 tretinoin with rosacea. i layer it on top of a niacinamide moisturizer. i see a much bigger difference in my skin with preventing comedones when i use a prescription retinoid

[@dr.jennyliu]

That’s awesome

[@rhileynnna]

I’m so surprised you didn’t mention the good molecules retinol ! Literally $8 , gentle. Can’t get much better than that

[@kathyc1257]

Dr. Liu, is there a clinically trialed anti-aging hand cream? can you make some recommendations?

[@deborah972]

Hi dr jenny liu your skin looks so amazing 😊❤xx

[@dr.jennyliu]

Oh thank you!

[@deefoster5145]

Alpharet for sensitive skin has been the winner for me, and i don't have to worry about exfoliation either.. so win win. I would like to see a review on Medik8 Crystal Retinal and understand efficacy of all the levels.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Will do!!

[@joyatwood6670]

Very helpful video, thank you! ❤

[@Lily.593]

Please do a video on retinal products, does it have similar anti aging benefits as tretnoin

[@lindalush7357]

Great information, thanks!

[@leonorp3512]

Very helpful vid! Thank you

[@toyabailey2739]

Great products

[@seechangenyc280]

Is it only me who is turned off by dipping their finger (or anything) into a jar every night? I'm curious how exposing the cream to air does not reduce its efficacy.

[@iopriestess]

Skin better alpharet is making me purge should I switch to another brand that is less irritating?

[@are3581]

Can you review the naturium retinaldehyde

[@dr.jennyliu]

Yes will do

[@are3581]

Thank you 💗💗

I started my retinoid journey with The Inkey List retinol. I have super sensitive, super dry, aged skin. Consequently, I haven’t been able to use a retinoid more than three times a week. I was sent the e.l.f. retinoid in a trial size. I can’t use it more than three times a week either. I recently purchased the Versed product. I tried it once and my skin reacted badly-some stinging for about an hour after application followed by three days of hypersensitivity afterwards. The two pumps that Versed recommends is too much for me at present. I’ll try it again with just one pump and buffer it heavily with moisturizer to see if I can tolerate it. On the alternate days, I use the Bybi Bakuchiol serum that contains only bakuchiol and squalane. I have had some problems with bakuchiol formulas, too. The serum from Now brand was the first bakuchiol product I tried, and it was just okay-probably not enough active in it to cause issues. The cream from The Inkey List caused an immediate and intense allergic reaction. (I think it was probably the inchi oil, which I’d never tried using before.) The cream from Physician’s Formula irritated my skin too much to keep using. The cream from Byoma is so gentle that even my neck likes it, but the pump on the container stopped working.

[@iopriestess]

How bout Korean brand retinol?

[@profmj7630]

Lots of options...thanks

Can the use of retinol by a 24-year-old woman (who is not pregnant, not planning to become pregnant or not breastfeeding) have a negative impact on her menstrual cycle? I've been using retinol regularly for about 10 months and have never had menstrual problems before. When I started applying retinol on my face more and more often (every 2 days, and then every day), then at the same time I started to have elevated TSH in the blood test, I started spotting on ovulation days. When I stopped using retinol because I wanted to use only vitamin C and other skincare products, the problem with spotting during ovulation automatically disappeared. A month ago I went back to using retinol and this time I used it very often, almost every day. And the problem with menstruation returned - I started spotting in the days of ovulation, menstruation is prolonged or late. Is it a symptom of excess vitamin A in the body caused by applying retinol on the face? Or is it some kind of retinol allergy? Why is this happening? Should I stop using retinol on my face completely? It would be a pity because retinol improves my skin condition so much (which used to be very acne-prone and now has become smooth and problem-free).

[@loytoco]

Did you find out if the skincare was the cause for the menstural cycle patterns? There is a connection between retinol and cycle, so maybe even only applying it through skincare had an effect.

[@champaweragoda6635]

Hello Dr,Jenny, I ado have Sun damage sports,brown sports and pigmentation on my face.Does Skin better work for them to reduce the appearance of it. Thank you 💐.

[@NRNF1776]

Hi Dr. Liu.. it would be really nice to get a review or overview of a doctor on the "oneskin os-01" product. Is it really revolutionary?

[@draganamarkovic3569]

Hi dr. Liu. What about new Vichy retinol serum from collagen specialist line? It has alcohol denat., but the rest seams ok. I'm asking for sensitiv,redness prone skin with posible rosacea. And what do you think about alcohol denat. generaly in skin care products for this type of skin problems? Thank you! 😊

[@catherinedesilets8960]

2 years ago I kept trying & every retinol product irritated my skin So… I still have like 6 bottles of different ones including the Cereve purple skin renewing serum which I’m trying again then if I make it through without a huge reaction I’ll try the others I still have in the fridge like the Avene retinal & several others lol

[@jenniferbauman1250]

I use trentinoin for acne and wrinkles. I’d like to use a vitamin c product for discoloration and also a moisturizer. Should I be using a moisturizer with niacinamide and hyalauronic acid or should I be using them separately? I don’t mind spending a little more for a well tested product(s) but I’m not sure where to start.

[@1024specialkay]

I have a prescription tretinoin 0.025% from my dermatologist. How long do they last before they expire?

[@yunagracelle]

Hi Dr. Liu, can you review geek and gorgeous retinal? It it said to be quite similar to the Avene one but more affordable. Thank you

[@dr.jennyliu]

I'll check it out!

[@mariak.7235]

[@racheljackson3182]

Hi Dr Liu! I love your videos and so great full for every post! 💕 QUESTION: is there evidence of adverse reactions to granavtive retinoid or HPR(hydroxypinacoline retinoate)? I was told it was great for sensitive skin and when I used it I flushed immediately and felt I got a fever. I’m sure it’s not normal but I wanted to know if HPR gets incorporated into the skin/bloodstream different from just retinol or even retinal? If you read this, thank you so much 😅❤

[@pattycarljackson]

HPR isn't a retinol and isn't going to give you results like with actual retinol, retinaldehyde, or tretinoin.

[@racheljackson3182]

@@pattycarljackson​​⁠helloooo 😊 I am aware that HPR is an ester of retinoic acid and would not have the same results. I am sensitive so I tread lightly with actives. Since the video is about retinoids I wanted to ask about one of the smaller members of the “family.” To clarify: I had a bad reaction to the ingredient and my question was about potential side effects, not efficacy, of HPR. If you have information about the side effects of HPR, please share!
