Unless Dr Stefani is not really in her teens then I take every word and advice of hers as truthful as she is physically the proof herself .
Girl she 100% had surgery. Look at her old videos. Night and day. That
Kind of change doesn’t happen without a knife.
Awww thank you. I’m in my late 40s 😝
@@DrStefaniKappel Unless I see your passport then who knows lol anyway I take your advice as gold. The other thing as I have browner skin are these Retinol creams etc still ok to use ?
@debbraholcomb Plastic surgery lifts tissues, but doesn't treat the skin or give you glow. Many people with plastic surgery still look old. You really need a multi-prong approach to anti-aging.
@@debbraholcomb I am here to show you that it absolutely can change without a knife. Do not beso skeptical and try to be kind. I will probably have surgery some day (when I'm in my 50s) to reposition my facial ligaments and fat pads but to date I have not. I'll do a video soon on things that I have done but this is always such a controversial topic and comments like yours keep me from posting one. I leave my older videos up when I am in my 30s and look terrible so that you can see what a difference it makes, now that I'm in my 40s and looking better, when you do less filler and more lasers and tightening devices. Since my older videos I have had an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and have done many lasers and tightening devices which I will post in a future video. In my older videos I was also underweight and incredibly stressed out with a baby and a toddler and in an unhealthy marriage. You can see it in my face. I am tempted to take these videos down but I leave them up to show people that you really can age backwards.
Block the haters please, Miss Stefani!!! Some (miserably evil) people thrive on being mean! Blocking them, or at least ignoring them takes away their power and they will slither away☠️☠️☠️! The rest of us Love and Really Really Appreciate all your hard work you put into educating us!!!❤❤❤❤
I’m using MDAIR line from the beginning and truly believe in aging backwards!!
I’m 52 years old and get compliments on my skin daily!!! Love the simplicity of the line of products!!!!
Please continue educating us on everything skincare!!
I’m never going to be without your products and very thankful for your knowledge!!!! I wish I live closer but I’m in NY
Thank you and so glad your enjoying the products!! It literally transforms you skin. I can tell when a patient is using MDAiRE products the second I walk thru the door. Because their skin is glowingggg 💙
As I watched this, I thought, boy, this woman must be fresh out of college. Then I read some comments & when I saw where Dr. Stefani said she's in her late 40's, you could have knocked me over w/a feather !! All of the dermatologists I watch on YT have gorgeous skin. Obviously , they know how to take care of skin !! I'm going to pay strict attention to their advise.
Haha thank you so much!! ❤❤❤
@@DrStefaniKappel 👋🙋♀️
I’ve just recommended your videos to my daughter (in early forties) who’s getting her Doctorate in stem cell research for Alzheimer’s at UCI. I know she’ll LOVE your channel bc you are such a SCIENCE NERD like she is!!!🥰
Thank you for cutting right to the chase! Great information today!
Best info ever!! Thank you for sharing as this was super helpful!
Every video you do is solid gold ! Thank you. I look forward to seeing you every Sunday on CZcams and I get to see you in person this week ! Lucky me 🥳
Thank you ❤️❤️ Can’t wait to see u in person!
Very comprehensive and informative!!!!
As a life sciences research scientist, I love your videos. You save me so many hours of research. So thank you, because your content is very informative, concise and easy to understand-for me at least. I am sitting here visualizing the reactions like we've seen in diagrams LOL. I feel like I am going back to uni and learning certain things all over again.
You look stunning!! Thanks for all the honest knowledge and useful sharing. God bless you!!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love these educational videos. It reminds me of being in college.
I know right??? I love my science college and med school courses!! So good! 🤓
Great video and thanks for the info!
Retinols make me breakout terribly and then it leaves hyperpigmentation! 😔 Would you do a video on best lasers/treatments for ethnic skin types ? I've been to so many places that do not know how to treat ethnic skin.
Love your videos ❤
I specialize in lasers safe for darker skin tones as this was a large part of my advanced laser fellowship training :) Check out this video dedicated to this topic: czcams.com/video/vx_fiEDFLU4/video.htmlsi=G1kEBe5xyo03bWwi
Look up dr vanita ratan
Excellent explanation..Thank you for this Dr Kappel
You are welcome!
Dr. Kappel, the level of your expertise and articulation is simply impressive. I am definitely going to incorporate some of the key points to my education to my patients on how to establish a scientific yet very manageable skin care regimen. Thank you for educating us, not only the patients but also the clinicians.
You are so welcome ❤️
Great video, thank you so much!!❤
Great Video, thank you!❤
Thanks a lot for this. Do you have an opinion on bokuchiol? Apparently it has similar results to vit A derivatives.
Hello. I’m in my 50’s and have textured skin. What is the best laser it technique that you would recommend for textured skin with loss of collagen. By the way … THANK YOU 🙏 for all your educated videos and sharing them with the world.
Can you come up with a visual chart about active ingredients? Something that’s like Do’s and Don’t?! So we can see can what definitely not to do! Sometimes it’s hard to remember all the different details about the ingredients and some of them have “acid” in the name which can come across as dangerous if combined with other things!
This was truly a master class. I'm so thankful for your content and you're amazing.
Thank you!! When you mix a child actress and a UCLA professor you get a CZcamsr who loves to teach dermatology over social media ❤
🥰@@DrStefaniKappel
Im on tazorotene 0. 1% and got on that for acne treatment. It never helped my acne but i stayed on it since ny derm said it was good for anti-aging. Not sure if it is actually too strong. At this stage, years in of use, no flaking or anything but i wonder if going that high could reduce anti-aging effect? Or if my skin isnt red/flakey/raw does that mean my skin is tolerating it?
I can’t even imagine using tazarotene. I’ve been using Murads otc retinol for a long time 3xs a week. A few months ago, I decided to use tretnoin .025 % for 1 of those days. It is soooo strong but skin definitely looks better. Thanks for clarifying the gel vs the cream because my Dr. gave me the gel maybe that’s why I feel it’s so strong.
The BEST video on retinoids hands down. I wasn’t aware that the conversion of retinaldehyde to retinoic is reversible. Other YT videos refer to retinaldehyde as “one step away” from retinoic which led me to believe it was a 1:1 conversion. And your advice to use varying concentrations or different derivatives throughout the week makes sense but something I never thought about. I also didn’t know that a gel carrier is more “potent” than a cream. Thank you!
I’m so glad you learned something! Know you guys are going to be smarter than the CZcamsrs who are not as well educated. It will be obvious when you hear them make incorrect statements like that. And it may not even be a marketing ploy, they may simply not know because they’ve never taken a series of biochemistry or pharmacology courses.
I learned so much from this video. I was told less is more while using Trent, so I stopped exfoliation. Now I know I can do it or try it.
On Peter Thomas Roth 1.5% forever. Then I started Trent 0.05 in July and had no peeling and two spots that were a little sensitive. So far, no problems, except I need to get a refill. I use it on the middle and lower part of my face and neck and decolletege, so go thru a tube faster.
Thanks again for the indepth explanation.
Dr kappel any idea as to why altreno is manufactured in Canada a but is only sold in USA?
10:18 I’m 56 yo and I’ve been using tretinoin for decades. Despite the length of time I’ve been using it I can still only tolerate 0.025% about 3-4 times a week. After applying it I apply CeraVe moisturizing cream. And under my eyes, around my nostrils and around the sides of my mouth I also apply CeraVe healing ointment. So far this has been working.
That is a great regimen! I love it. You are doing everything correctly! Great job 😍
@@DrStefaniKappel Hi Dr. Stefani, what is the difference between Nordlys Ellipse Frax 1550 vs. Fraxel restore laser when it comes to efficacy?
@@DrStefaniKappelI thought retinol is not recommended for undereye??
I LOVE DR KAPPEL!!!! SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE!!I am the expert in my friend circle because of you!!!!! I had my first Clear and Brilliant, because of your recommendations, and all went fine, I'm still red after 5 days but no swelling. They told me to stop retinol for 2 weeks? My next clear & brilliant is in 2 weeks (I'm doing 3) when should I start retinol and AHAS again? I do have some natural redness in my face, doing VB laser after these treatments will be a good idea?💓💞🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I love your retinol Dr. Kappel. It’s good on my skin.
So glad! I love it too and I use it every day 🩵
I am 69 years old and have enjoyed a lifetime of good skin. Not at all sensitive (like my husband who sadly has VERY sensitive skin). At 65 I started using retinol responding to all the hype about it. YIKES. I had quite a journey. Just like you say, higher percentages are not better. Just recently I put a mild retinol on my chest. It was not a success. Angry, red patches that are incredibly sensitive appeared - itchy, painful :( I'm using B5 thick cream by La Roche Posay that works better than anything to ease the pain of retinol sensitization. If I have even a hint that a retinol I'm using on my face is causing that slight burn, I stop immediately and switch it to using it on the back of my hands and feet that have some signs of sun damage. Luckily my face, neck and décolleté don't, due to regular use of spf, sun avoidance and upf clothing. I've always worn gloves while cycling (I'm a cycling enthusiast) but I've been guilty of wearing sandals all summer and forgetting to put spf on the tops of my feet. I do now! Now I do use retinol every night but I'm careful to keep it in the lower percentages. I'd love it if you would do a video on red light devices at home. What do you think of them? I'm interested in your products for they are extremely expensive for me (I'm in Canada).
I’ve used tretinoin.1% since I was 14 I’m 29 now I use it nightly is that okay? No dryness or irritation
Hi, Great video! Do you recommend putting tretinoin on the neck? I have been using 0.05 Tretinoin for a few years. Also are there more benefits to moving up to .1 or fine just staying at .5? Thank you.
My neck FREAKED out on .025% of Tretinoin. It was very unhappy
hey Dr. K!! what retinoid derivatives do you recommend for sensitive, acne prone skin that sometimes gets eczema?
ps. this is for a friend. I've started them on differin and I'm thinking of adding a stronger derivative into her routine. also, vitamin c derivative recommendations? ty 😊
After putting on my retin a I lightly add on a CeraVe ointment. Is that okay?
Praying when I go visit my brother and sister in HB that I can get in to see you. 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for everything you teach us!
Make sure you book way in advance. Live in Orange County by her office and the last time I tried to book with Her about 3wks ago, she was booked solid 2mos out 🤦🏼♀️
Dr kappel what are your thoughts on applying tret under eyes for preventative measures? I’ve been using tret for a few years now, Im currently using 1% tret for the past year and my skin looks graeat but now I’m concerned I’ve been applying to much on around my eyes and it’s causing my under eyes hollowness / thinner skin . I know tret doesn’t thin out skin but everyone says under eyes so delicate and it’s causing my hollowness. I’ve always been petite and thin and I’m 33 years old now so idk if that’s just a normal sign of against or I’m doing to much surg tret
When I went to use tretinoin, I went onto the strongest prescription 0.1% and my face peeled off for about 6 weeks. I use it every night now and have for a little over a year and I have no sensitization issues. I also have a great moisturizer that I apply 30 minutes after applying my tretinoin. I should have probably started at the lowest percent, but hey, I am one of those crazy patients lol.
Skin goals!! Amazing job!!
Hi how do beginners mix retinol with what
3 questions please answer all of them... 1) Do I HAVE to go to a dermatologist first? 2) If I just buy Tretinoin online which one do you recommend...3) Will it poison a person to use retinol on the face AND all over the body? (I want my skin ALL OVER to look younger) Thanks Stefani.
I've just discovered your channel and I'm learning so much. Thank you! I have a question: How is a skin care ingredient deemed an "Active" or not? Is there some scientific objective way of measuring cellular response that determines this, or is it a matter of manufacture or marketer opinion? For example, I've seen glycerin, aloe vera and vitamin e labelled in BOLD as "actives". Are they? Is there a definitive list? Thank you.
Well the "active ingredients" in a product ingredient list are going to be the ingredients that are essentially working hardest in the formulation, whereas "active skin ingredients" generally speaking are going to be describing more of how acidic, stimulating or aggressive that particular ingredient itself is. For example, I would consider glycolic an active ingredient, but if it was just tucked mildly into the bottom of an ingredient list on a product, I wouldnt consider it one of that specific products "active ingredients". So basically there's sort of two contexts to dubbing something as active. Active on its own vs being a main active within a formulation can depend entirely on the strength, stabilization and specific formulation of the product that it's within. Hopefully that makes some sense.
@@victoriagabriella1103 Thank you! That is very helpful.
I use all your products they are excellent! I have a prescription retinol that I quit using when I switched. Should I be incorporating it into my skincare? Starting once a week?
RX is a .05 cream.
If it is a retinol then I’d say theses no need but if you meant a prescription tretinoin then I’d say yes give it a try by starting once a week. On the day you use the tretinoin then don’t use the retinol that day. Does that make sense?
@@DrStefaniKappel That makes perfect sense. Thank you!😃
Thank you so much for making things so clear! Question I’m 59 have been using tretinoin 1% 5 nights a week weekends I give it rest. My skin looks great lol what can I do to make it even better? Thinking of doing your retinol on the weekends? ❤❤❤❤
You're on such a good regimen right now I'd keep it how it is- that's amazing!!! You get an A+++++!!
But yes adding the MDAiRE RXR Retinol would be good!!
Can people with peri oral dermatitis use it?
Thank you for explaining retinol. I am using Altreno and was about to quit retinol because on the fourth day of using Altreno my face is on fire.
Yes although it is a cream and a mid-level percent it can be irritating. Try using it once a week with the sandwich or 1:1 with a hydrator method and see how you do.
Thank you Dr. Kappel, your explanation of the mechanism of action of these products is excellent. The microencapsulated retinols are very gentle and easy to incorporate into any skin care regimen
Glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️
Hi Dr. Kappel, There is a bit of back and forth when it comes to putting tretinoin under the eye area. I use Altreno which is in a vehicle that is less irritating... but in general would you ever recommend putting retinoic acid under the eyes for help with fine lines? There are plastic surgeons and you tube derms where some say yes and some say no. I would love to know what you think? Thank you!❤
How do I find Dr.Stefani’s skin care products at !? I would love to try it and compare it to all the different skin care lines Iv used for 15 years!!!
Yes please do. They will transform your skin. You can find them on the website mdaire.com 🩵🩵🩵
Always so informative Dr. Kappel. Thank you for all you do :)
You're so welcome!!
I'm using roc anti line smoothing serum can be used day and night ! Smart 🤓 me on a budget .0.5 percent it's low priced ,for my dry sensitive skin doesn't irritate face like lancers.ither brand so drying serious skin care brand .
I am 64 and have been experiencing fragile skin on my arms for around 20 years now. All I have to do is lightly bump into a cardboard box and the blood comes right to the surface. At the same time if I rub against that same box, the skin peels back and I bleed. I have seen a Dermatologist and what I got from it was that the damage was already done but yet he prescribed Tretinoin. I used it for around 6 months with no change. Why prescribe this if there's nothing to be done? Is there something that can help in reversing this condition?
Wow I’m first, never been this early :)
Yay! Welcome to class! You’re in the front row ❤️😘🤓
Hello Dr Stefani,
I am taking pharmacy classes, but I am simply a beginner. However, I have an interest in vitamin A derivatives. What concerns me is that I heard from my professor that Tretinoin does affect the baby's development even if you are not yet pregnant. She advised against tretinoin. I want to hear more from you since I couldn't find info online. Moreover, our classes for vitamins are still the basics, but honestly, my curiosity will kill me. If you can't respond, I kindly ask for recommended literature I can read.
Kind regards
When I have a car again at 49 I'm going to dermatologist to get a tretinion prescription to mix with hydrators for neck face hands .I look younger to majority of people most say under 40. I do see lines formed on forehead not deep .I'm worried about the two coming through between brows because my features my eyes my face get so much attention and I have a lot of living to do
is retinal ok while nursing?
Loved this video! I'm been using tretinoin about 2 times a week and your MDAIRE RETINOL and the other nights. Once in a while I'll use the retinol during the day too. I noticed you put your retinol on last in your layering routine. What if I put the vit. c, retinol and then the NMF Hydrator last? Would it still be just as effective? Or is your way to buffer the retinol? Thank you for this informative video. Would love a video on peptides vs growth factors. (I know you talked about it a little bit in a previous video.) Have a great Sunday!
You could do the hydrator last but i like to use it as a buffer before the retinol. Either way works fine tho! How is your skin tolerating it that way so far?
It's tolerating it pretty well so far. If I get itchy or flakey I back off the tret for a few more days. @@DrStefaniKappel
I wasn't terminated! From fine jewelery! I declined the offer after manager was deceptive was in sf
But my questions is, if you have inherited gene irregularities (which we all do) this stimulating mechanism (retinol, ect.) is going to stimulate those irregularities also, the ones that cause skin cancers, etc. I say this because this actually happened to me. I started using a product (not yours) that had this stimulating mechanism of action and after 6 months of using it I got skin cancer. It actually was a skin cancer my mother or father never had (my parents actually never had any skin cancers, they spent their lives in the sun with no sunscreen whatsoever) My father passed at 84 and my mother is 80 now.
I have a bunch of recently expired tretinoin. How long would it actually remain active?
It can irritate the skin even more it’s it’s over a year old. I’d toss it 😕
What shall I use at 35 . My skin looks tired . What I shall do
I like Altreno... it doesn't irritate my skin.
It’s a good one ❤️
What’s that brand!? Are you using a Tretinoin also!?
I love it as well!
Great advice here!
I was prescribed tretinoin .1% off the bat as a teen for acne and it messed up my skin so badly with no benefits that I gave up before the first month and avoided retinol for years.
I just got back to tretinoin now in my 40s. Started with .001 and it’s making a difference. Only regret is that I didn’t start on it in my 30s.
I hear this story all too often. Hopefully after watching this video that will save someone from that same experence.
You are the best 🥰🤗😇
Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Err maybe for acne but for basic skincare it’s irritation , itching burning , flaking sensitive to scent and makes your skin
look older 🤔
I wish there is an excellent brand with reasonable price for the body.
I am currently working on one for my skincare line MDAiRE 🩵
@@DrStefaniKappelyay. Please make a?vit c body serum
Can I use 1% or less% on my lips & neck? (53 yr old )
I would avoid the lips and go very slowwww with the neck. For the neck I'd only use 0.025% tret and I would definitely use the sandwich method for application with a hydrator ;)
I am older and I have good skin and a full face ..i read vitamin A can affect the fat in yoir face ? So i am not sure what to believe 🤔? I would like to strengthen my skin. ..what do you think? Thank you
Vitamin A derivatives do not effect the subcutaneous fat 🥰
@@DrStefaniKappel ..Thank you I respect your opinion
It does work & if you're over 30, it should be a non-negotiable
I agree!!
Is there a pregnancy safe retinol to take?
Nop
I want to try your line your a damn good spokesperson for that and if..if your being honest about your line that's why people will read the reviews !! No offense .
I started using Tretinoin two months ago (with no history of any other Vitamin A products) and I used a pea sized amount once a week for 4 weeks and then increased it to twice a week…so far I haven‘t experienced any irritation and have already seen changes in my T zone (my biggest problem area)
I think people get too overzealous with Tretinoin and think they‘re invincible and that their skin is different and that it’s gonna be able to handle amounts that are WAAAY too much😅
You did it perfectly!!! Now if each of my patients could do it the way you did it that would be amazing 🤩
Hello Dr. Stefani, how long does Tretinoin take to be fully absorbed? I think it’s 20 min. I’m asking because I apply it right before I go to bed and worry if it’s being rubbed off on my pillow. Thank you for answering my question!
How much retinol is in your product? I'll buy it if there's enough in it
It’s a 1% smart retinol that is micro encapsulated so it’s great for sensitive skin 🩵
Where do you all get your retinols from? Do I need to see a doctor?
I get my Tretinoin from a company called AGENCY! Iv been using this brand almost two years now. It’s an easy process and they take pics of your skin and everything
Tretinoin and Tazorac are the only prescription retinoids. Retinol is over the counter
Retinol disrupts my sleep. I wish I could use it, but I can't, and I've tried numerous brands. Eventually, I began researching online how it affects me only to discover, I'm not alone.
Thank you for sharing as this mat help someone else out there. In my almost 20 years of practice I have not come across that.
Hi Dr Stephanie, one thing I haven’t heard anyone address. Once you apply Tretinoin, how long does it take to fully be absorbed. I think it’s 20 mins? I always wonder if it’s rubbing off on my pillow if I apply it right before going to bed. Thank you so much!
It affected my sleep in the beginning too.
Is hydroxy pinacolone retinoate a retinoic acid ester?
Yes!! and it’s a great option for those just starting out or for those with sensitive skin 🩵

Omg can Dr can you be any cuter!! MDAIRE has changed my skin care game.. trust the process!
How did it change your skin?
@@MYG79X I could see that my skin barrier was in better health. More resistant to travel/weather. I noticed increased skin healing time with the use of the vitamin C formula. Also the RXR formula made transitioning from never using retinol to easy and poreless skin. So much that I could go without makeup and people thought I was wearing it.. the neck formula is really like Botox in a bottle for neck lines.. have not used the wash yet but I’m sure it’s next level as all these products are! Hope this helps! You won’t be disappointed.
@leaheich5352 I was checking out her line. With so many brands on the market it gets really overwhelming & I like to know personal experiences or before/after pics but thank you for the recommendations 😊
It's all greek to me really.
Are aging backward soon you going to school be careful🤣🤣
Very true 😂
