Your skin looks fantastic! I have been using Retin A for two years and I can honestly say it has made major improvements to my skin. I am 45 and get compliments on my skin regularly when I never did before. People are always asking me what I use on my skin. I had to go through a horrible period of peeling for three months before I got used to it. My husband begged me to stop but I didn't. I say this because those of you that are trying Retin A for the first time hang in there. The results are really worth it!
Agree with you on the fact that Retin A / Trentinoin cream is the best thing that really work well to fight aging along with wearing a daily SPF Adding vit c topical serum daily under your SPF is excellent !!! Skin conditions with hyperpigmentation / Dark spots add hydroquinone 4 to 6 % .Sometimes patients have applied it to freshly washed skin still damp have experienced irritation with excessive dryness and or redness. Always wait 10 to 20 minutes after washing before applying. You can expect mild to moderate dryness and flaky for about 2 to 3 weeks until the superficial layers that are thickening are removed.Avoid upper eye area, corners of the nose and corners of the lip. Then you can expect to see smoother and more skin toning from it. Practicing Medical Skin Care Tech for 25 years.
Gary Cagle Thanks for the info.!
I have started the lowest level if RetinA twice a week I have been in it for a month so far no problems I have peeling if it gets bad I back off it seems to be working for me
Sorry miss spelled nit use to this phone
What's this??!! A mature woman talking about anti-aging? I thought only 20-something year olds with no wrinkles are allowed to do that on CZcams!! Ha ha. Anyways, this is GREAT!!! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. Honestly, your opinion trumps most of the so-called beauty gurus out there.
You are a beautiful woman ! I love how you are so dedicated to taking care of your skin and all of the info that you share on your channel is so helpful to so many people. I was a fan when you started the retinA and I have watched your skin get better and better. There is certainly a remarkable difference in the before and after pics! Great job on sticking to your routine!
You don't just look amazing for 50, you just plain look amazing. I just discovered you by accident, and I can't wait to watch some of your other videos. You're so wonderful to share with so many some very...sensitive...subject matter. Beauty without vanity -- not everyone can manage that. And, being a woman who experienced surgically induced menopause at 29 (they took everything) with no hrt, I LOVE the name of your channel. :-)
Thank you... For your honesty & showing us the 'real' you. We mature women are shown glamorous (and sometimes barely 30) people in the glossy magazines advertising anti-ageing creams etc.. and we start to feel that we are ageing terribly or lacking in some way. To see that others are dealing with the same skincare issues that I am, and offering honest reviews with helpful tips is so reassuring. The amount of money I've spent over the years & the half empty pots (with just as empty promises) cluttering up my bathroom is shameful. You are truly gorgeous..
Angie you are the best. Your videos are honest and informative and I know that I can trust you implicitly because you put so much research into the subjects that you discuss. I'm a few years older than you (arghhhh!) but I started on Retin A about six months ago after watching your videos - I'm over the settling in period now - and I love it. Keep up the good work, you are great. D x
Hi Angie - TERRIFIC video concerning that "mysterious Retin-A" and it's effects! I love how you moved right thru the video, explaining and demonstrating everything as you went along, staying right on point, and still being so incredibly sweet & likeable, but still wanting to make sure you imparted all knowledge.
And LOVE how you demonstrated tubes, and bottles, and forehead, and Before and After pics. Love your candor, courage, and generosity in sharing all this with us!
I'm looking forward to viewing more of your videos, esp since I'm "of that certain age" (but don't want to take credit for it.. heh) :-) Take good care!
Wow! That was so informative and helpful! Thank you! :-)
So glad you are loving Retin A & your results are terrific :) You look late 30's, early 40's. I love it, too & have been using it for years ( I just turned 60). Regarding wrinkles around mouth & eyes...forget fillers for those, it is face peels that get rid of those for long periods of time, much longer than fillers & it's just topical, not something injected. You could request a peel for just those areas if you like. Peels are awesome! I have never gotten any kind of filler. To me any wrinkles around your eyes are minimal & if they appear when you smile that's normal & bad lighting sucks for all of us! :)) great review! :) Betty
you look so good without makeup!! please, dont apology for showing your clear skin
OMG YOU ARE AMAZING WITH ALL THAT INFO. KEEP IT UP YOU ARE HELPING ALL WOMAN OUT THERE!
I love watching your videos. So informative and a joy to watch. So glad I found you a couple months ago.
I'm 31 and in the last year or so started noticing the fine lines around my eyes and dimples.
I always have used moisturizer and lazily used a serum every now and then.
I was amazed at how great my skin started looking after adding an 8% AHA every other night, and a vitamin C serum every morning.
I'm for sure now going to start a Retin-A regime after the holidays calm down.
Your videos are always so informative! You look FANTASTIC!! Skin looks fabulous!
You are my skincare hero!!!
I am so glad you are on CZcams Angie!!!!! I LOVE your videos. I am 39, almost 40. I am starting to use over the counter things, but want to bump it up. So glad you are sharing your experiences.
You have beautiful skin and I def see an improvement with Retin A. I'm 59, went through menopause at 52, and live at the beach. I'm fair skin, fair hair. I used to use baby oil to tan in the 60's through 80's, UGH! I haven't used anything on my skin other than 100% natural products, many I make myself. I recently discovered 100% Pure products and appreciate that there are no chemicals. I love their Argan Oil SPF 30 sunscreen. Although I probably won't do most of what you're doing, I do enjoy your videos.
You have no idea how much you just help me. Thank-you so much for sharing . Your down to earth and your just as beautiful inside and out.
Love you videos. I'm a fan!
I know this is several years old, but your videos make me so happy and less panicky about turning 50 soon. Ty so much for your Retin A updates!
Thanks for posting this! It's very informative and helps a lot as I have recently started looking into Retin A. I also wanted to say you are truly beautiful and for being in your 50s your face looks great! I am almost 33 and already are having some of the problems you mention, so truly I hope at 50 I look as good as you!
You look beautiful! I love your videos. Nice to watch someone over 20! Merry Christmas.
Great information, and progress you have made! I turned 50 this year and have seen such a change in my skin. This gives me hope :)
I love how you take care of your skin! Your videos are very interesting even though I'm 29, but it's good to know what to use to protect my skin later on.
Love all your skincare videos! They are so informational, thank you! Been binge watching😆
After watching you and others . I really enjoy my skin care regime. You ladies make it fun and informative.
I really appreciated all your commentary, experiences, and advice. I was on Retin A, but stopped doing it due to lack of a noticeable difference, but perhaps I didn't give it long enough.
Angie just a quick comment from me. I have the .10% Retin A product from my dermatologist it is super strong for me but I cut it with my moisturizer right now I am able to use it twice a week just a point that you might want to use in your future videos. But I have not confirmed this usage with my dermatologist.I hope you ignore any tacky comments that you ever get. You are doing a great service to all of us over 50. Thank you very much Karen Smith Greenville Texas
Karen Smith
i wish my skin looks as good as yours by the time i turn 50!! You are stunning!
My mums 53 and her skins even more plump and less wrinkles than the gorgeous lady in the video. It mostly comes down to ur exposure to the sun and genetics both favoured her as my dads rich so mum never had to work so much less sun exposure and my family has olive skins and less prone to wrinkles, i am just saying it is possible just use good spf and take d3 supplements if ur not going out in sun
I just got my first tube of .025% today from my GP because of you! Thank you so much! I've just finished up early menopause and noticed things were going downhill fast. Thanks so much for the info!
Megan Smetzer and t
Hi Angie, You're just the best one-stop place to watch for all the information women need to look their best! Thanks for your honesty and candor on everything you review! You look beautiful! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Colleen xox :)
Thanks, Colleen!! I had such a great weekend, I didn't have a second to reply to any comments on here until now! xo ~angie
Came back to see your original tretinoin videos and WOW amazing results over these 9 years
Angie, I think the results are pretty significant, as far as skin creams go...and you look fantastic! This video was so very helpful. I will definitely be talking to my derm about starting retin a asap!
Fantastic results!
Great video!
Super helpful as always! xx
P.S.: started Retin A shortly after your original video! Loving it! Thanks you!
First I want to thank you soooo much this post has changed my life. I am a bit shy and not ready to make videos but my skin looks 10 years younger. Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge with such honesty and explicitness. Your advice is invaluable
Great video!! What a wealth of information!! Thank you!! I love your channel!
So glad I found your channel!
You are so candid love ur attitude! Luv
This is excellent! I'm 53 and have used Paula's Choice products as my skin care for at least 4 or 5 years now and I love it. After watching this video, I'm seriously thinking that I need to give Retin A a try! Thanks SO much! ♥
WOW, I cant believe your 51. You look amazing! Have a blessed day
Thanks Angie for a thorough and informative review.
Oh, absolutely there is visible improvement (you didn't start off too bad in the first place)! The eye area is so much improved and you're right--the outside nasolabial line that was starting to develop has almost gone away completely. Great video!
Great Video Angie, Thank you for sharing your Skincare Journey. You seem to be one of the only CZcamsrs who explain everything in detail and the options you have. I will be getting some Retin A in the new year, I'm going to try to finish what I have purchased a month ago, Retinol and I use the Same Olay regenerist and some other products..
Thank you Angie for sharing all this. I can see the difference. Out look fantastic.
As someone getting ready to begin the last year of my first half century, I've bee looking into things that will help me feel like what I look like isn't so disconnected from who I am inside. I appreciate all the research you've done and the information you bring to your videos. Thank you so much from a long time viewer and lurker.
Jaz DeWills Happy birthday! and enjoy the last year you age will start with a 4... it's quite a passage!
Hi HoneyBee, if you want the optimal absorption with your C serum you should wash your face in the morning and apply the serum. The C serum goes on prior to the hyaluronic acid for the same reason.
***** Usually the lightest formula to the thickest,,try vit C then Hyaluronic SPF daily after absorption over these. Also you could use hyaluronic pm and vit C serums daily under SPF . Dont forget the eye cream 2 times a day as well !!!
I like your honest, frank approach.
Thank you so much for this video, Angie. So much great information. You can definitely see a difference in your skin--the eye area especially! You look great!~Shari
So informative, as usual! Thank you so much for your great videos! You are a joy to watch. Even though I am 36 I have really learned a lot from you and can apply quite a bit of what you discuss to my own skincare regimen! Lucky to have found you!
Thank you!
Great information, and I think you look fantastic in both pics- beautiful lady! Thanks again! :)
You put so much good work into the videos. Thank you!
Yes there is definite improvement, well worth looking into. Great information in this video, thanks :)
Hello Angie! I am pretty new to ur channel! I really appreciate all of ur videos! I just turned 41, and I was really discouraged about the small differences in my skin. I just seen my dermatologist, and she prescribed Retin A! I am very excited. I got the 0.05% and she gave a me a regimen to follow to try to reduce the peeling and irritation. I also bought a very good moisturizer at her recommendation. Thanks for the videos on aging skin!
Wow, you're gorgeous! I'm about to turn 25 and have been scared of aging, wrinkles, etc. So I just got a prescription for Retin-A to prevent as much of this as possible. I rarely leave comments, but wanted to let you know your video just changed the way I view getting older. If I can be this beautiful another 25 years from now, that's something to look forward to, not dread. Thanks!!
I appreciate your candor. It's refreshing.
You are beautiful. I appreciate you sharing and being very open and honest, thank you.
Hi first time i watch one of these clips. I enjoyed it. It was realistic and doable. Thanks
I'm so glad I found u...I just turned 62 people can't believe I have a daughter that just turned 40 & another that is 38...but I really noticed a change in my skin's elasticity more than wrinkles....u are really helping me...makeup has become more of a challenge. The mirrors made me laugh that is me exactly....❤️
Hi Angie, I see a very nice subtle change in your skin! Including some faded areas too!!!I have been using mine for about as long as you have as well, but am still using everyother night. I need to change to daily and use a nice moisturizing cream over it because my skin is very dry right now. Thank you for sharing your experience and a wealth of information. You are a gem and truly look beautiful!
~Sandra
oh my you look so beautiful for a 51 years old!!
so happy for you!!
Been watching you Angie Love all your advice Since I am turning 60 I asked my dermatologist and she prescribed 0.025 % of Retin-A.
Love your video ....you are fantastic in explaining every detail....God Bless you for taking time out to help all of you and you look lovely .....
Angie, I'm SO glad I found you! You've been a Wealth of information! I ordered my Retin A, CeraVe Cleanser, AM & PM moisturizers, and Vitamin C+E! I also took Brianna's advice, and ordered the Anti-Aging Serum, and eye cream! No wonder why I was dumping SO much $$ in to Sephora skincare, and not seeing ANY results! Most of the products are hyped up, and don't contain any of those important ingredients! Medical skin care is the way to go to really Change our skin! :-)
You really do look great,Girl! Thanks so much for sharing!
You look fabulous in this video. I'm very impressed at how well you look with no make up. I watched a few of your first videos when you first started and then recently came back to you and noticed the difference straight away. My hooded eyes look like yours used to look. I never thought of using any "stronger" treatment other than the usual creams, but I'm so impressed with your eyes and the general overall firming up of your skin that I will be looking into retinol-a and vitamin c serum for myself here in the UK. Regards.
Thanks for the great video. Your skin looks terrific!
Hi Angie. You are way more patient than I am; I want something that shows results right away! I doubt I could tolerate Retin A as I have both very sensitive skin and a lack of the normal number of dermal layers. Did want to say, though, that we are the same age, and I REALLY appreciate seeing someone my age doing these kinds of videos. Thanks! Rozzella
You look fab and your videos are some of the best on CZcams.
girl, you look amazing!
Hey beautiful! I just discovered HotandFlashy 30 minutes ago, watched this video, and had to immediately write and say... thank you, THANK GOD!! I have skimmed a few other videos of yours and can't wait to get caught up on what you have to say. Your videos are well presented, to the point, easy-to-follow, and accurately reflect current research. I'm an ageless 53-year-old, fair-skinned, light blonde with lovely skin. This is true, in spite of my having burned and bistered my skin in youth, and worked for 20 years landscaping without using sunscreen. I credit my skin's resilience to this damage in part, to having consistently eaten a diet very high in raw fruits and vegetables for 30 years. However, speaking to Retin-A, I have to say it is the only product that has ever produced absolutely visible results. I started using Retin-A consistently in 2007 (working up slowly to the highest concentration). At that time I was unhappy with bags and crepey skin under my eyes, as well as crows feet, and so used it under and around my eyes almost in the shape of an eye mask. Three years later, I noticed a very distinct difference in the quality of my skin where the retin-a had been applied and the rest of my face. The pores are smaller, the skin is tighter and smoother everywhere retin-a was applied, while the skin on my cheek (immediately below treated area) had aged normally with larger pores, rougher texture. KEEP USING!! BTW: I have been using it on my browbone and very close up to my under eye area for years with no problem.
Thanks again for all your research, time, energy, and willingness to share. You are awesome for doing these videos.
Erin
+Wishesfeb29 Hi Erin~ So happy you found me! Welcome. I wish I had started Retin-A 20 years ago!! Everyone who's written in to say they've used it for long periods of time are the happiest with it!!
I have been using retin a x 20 yrs. I'm 65 and have faint crows feet and that's it my skin is thicker and I'm pleased with it your skin looks much better. Keep it up...you wont regret it
Angie, you look wonderful...My older, middle sister and our cousin were the ones who always were sun worshippers back in the day. I have never been that fond of the sun...not a fan of hot weather or Summer, and I am always slathering my skin with moisturizers and my have started being sure to put the sun block on every day as a daily makeup routine.. Thanks again for your channel...You look amazing.
Angie...we're the same age and I appreciate all the work, research, and time you put into your videos. Very informative and your right about how we baked our skin in the 80's. Now, we're paying for it! Hahaha. However, you look awesome!
This gives me hope for my eyelids. I'm only 34 but I have droopy upper and lower lids with a deep tear trough. I've had restylane injected into my tear troughs but eventually surgery is going to be the only fix.
I've been a skincare junkie for years and never tanned...the worst I did was sleep in my makeup in my 20s. Since I've been using a potent Retinol (not Retin-A, Nouvelle by Neocutis) I've noticed a huge difference in my skin.
It's not taking long to see results. I'm sold. I'm going to go for Retin-A eventually. The peeling and redness is difficult to deal with if you're working, but since I've been sick for over a year, I've decided now is the best time to get through the peeling phase.
I've found that exfoliating with my clarisonic really helps clear off that dead skin faster.
Angie, I tried the generic and I switched to Atralan because honestly did notice less irritation and flaking and more overall results. I am about 2 years into using it. I wish I had taken before pictures. It truly has made my already acne scarred, sun damaged skin way better than years before. I wish I had started it earlier! You are beautiful, as always!
For a 51 year old woman, u look great! Especially your face! Thanks for the video!
u should see her body!!:)
lol
Definitely gonna have to look into this after the New Year. Thanks for sharing! ;)
I am using the same brand you are and so far it's really good. I love it and it is one of the best and most effective acne treatments. Forget benzoyl peroxide. I can't say much about salicylic acid because to me it works int he same way just I notice a difference in my skin texture right away with the retin-a besides the salicylic. I am sold!
THRILLED that i found you ! Im just now starting Retin A 0.5 like you so im so happy I can watch your videos. also going to get the botox on pretty much the same spots as you soon. Im 46 and really not into aging badly ...lol ! YOU look absolutely gorgeous ! xox Muah! xox
Thank you for the update, and I can definitely see the difference in your pictures!!! For the past several months, I have been using Vitamin C with E in it, which I make myself. My age is almost 62 years young & I no longer need to have to get sunspots taken off my face from my dermatologist and my chest has almost totally clear from sunspots and pretty. It has helped with my lines & wrinkles, which I can tell from my own pictures!!!
Hey can you tell us how you make the vit C n E serum or maybe put up a video regarding same!
Awesome, you understand the importance of the before and after pictures showing the entire face so you can see the expressions are the same, thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate your videos...very informative and helpful!
I've just started using R 0.5 from Skinceuticals (I'm 44) and wanted to Thankyou for sharing your experience and tips and showing truthful pictures :) You look fantastic. Best wishes. X
Ohhhhh you are so right about tanning in the 80s! Don't you wish we knew then what we know now. You look great! I was shocked when you said you were 51. I thought you were my age. I'm 47. Thank you for your transparency.
Great video- thank you for doing these I want to try this...your eyes and jaw line look great !!
Thanks for sharing, you look great! Never used Retin-A before and have been negligent about skin/face/body but I'm about to hit 50 next year and I've got to do something, everything's falling apart!!
pasamom3 The changes 50 brings are scary!! and no fun...
Hello Angie, thank you so much for these videos....you have shared a wealth of information! I am 34...And and I have no more time to waste with my skin care...Your skin color looks amazing..., your fine lines are shrinking and your overall facial skin is tightening....GOD bless you and keep up the good work :-)
Angie i think you look fabulous...i love your confidence and your knowledge of products..you are a truly beautiful woman x
Thank you, Christine!
You are so beautiful and I appreciate your sharing your beauty adventures, tips, and experiences.
I'm almost 56 and have been using Retin-A .05% for close to a year. I like it because it seems to even out my complexion. I've never worn foundation in my life nor had acne but I certainly baked like a lizard under the hot sun when I was younger. And those are the wrinkles that the Retin-A seems to help with. You look wonderful. What you're calling blemishes look like freckles to me, I like that look. I've always been envious of people with freckles :-)
r u kidding me? u freaking look amazing!!!!!! wow!! I'm in my early 20s and i am starting to take good care of my skin via healthy eating etc. i hope i look as good as you !! beautiful :)
Hi! We're the same age and I'm just getting ready to start a "regimen" these days. I love that yours has helped with the crepiness in the eyelids, because that's really the only thing I don't like about how my face is now. I really think people should do what they want in regards to beauty, do whatever makes you feel good, but I don't like thinking about "perfect." There really is no "perfect," for anybody. Or to turn it around, we're already perfect!
***** great video...very informative...love the fact that you posted before and after pictures...
I just found you and I'm loving all your videos... Thank you
Very informative video. I love that you took before and after pictures. I see the difference in your eye area. I have used it since April almost every day. I don't peel that much. I do not see a big difference in my skin yet. I think your skin looks nice and I also think you look very young for your age. You have a very nice contoured jowl line. When that is tight, a person looks young, but when the jawline goes it makes a person look older no matter how nice the skin is. That is my opinion anyways. GREAT VIDEO. :)
I now use RetinA every night. I stopped for a few months and noticed a negative difference in my skin. Since starting to use it again, I am very happy with being able to see the positive difference and will not go off of it again. I do skip a night here and there to use a sheet mask or something but, the good results are not affected by 1 or 2 days. I love how well you cover every aspect of products you mention. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for this info. I'm 53 so I grew up in the same era as you except I never tanned because even as a teenager I was conscience of sun damage. When I turned 40 I started using a 50+ sunscreen every single day all over. I've never had Botox or used retin A but my skin looks really good. My friends say I look 40. I'm proof that shunning the sun does make a difference but I am considering Botox for my lips. You can stave off aging but eventually it catches up with you sigh...your videos are a great thing for us older women who refuse to just give up. Please keep vlogging.
Another great video Angie! Thanks so much for the closeup, you are much braver than I am, and I appreciate that. I think I need to ask my GP for some Retin-A. I also feel like I should see a dermatologist now that I am about to turn 50. I was a sun worshiper my entire life, the darker the better!! (yikes) I am beginning to smarten up now. I would love to have something done to my "11's". I also have crepey eyelids and wrinkles around my upper lip (although a non-smoker). Thanks for all of your advice Angie!
Not only do you look gorgeous but you have a beautiful personality. I am 61 yo woman and I find you inspiring.
Angie - GREAT video. I wish I looked half as good as you do without make-up!
Very helpful and informative! Thank you!
