A retinoid can be referred to as: tretinoin, retin-a, retinol, retinaldehyde, retinyl esters (like retinyl palmitate), adapalene / Differin, to name a few!

I LOVE seeing legit Dermatologists popping up on CZcams!
Please tell me I'm not the only one enthusiastically taking notes from these videos. Because:
1. They're interesting & practical info
2. They're well structured
3. They're easy to understand
4. I'm a nerd lol
Love your content! Stay amazing~
Thanks so much!! It takes a lot of time to turn these topics into easy-to-understand videos. I’m so glad it’s helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Definitely taking notes!
Here here 😉
I am too!
Taking notes and replaying many times over
I really appreciate the professionals who make time to educate us freely on social media like this 🙌 despite their hectic schedules. You're really helping doc ❤
Ohmygosh why haven’t I found you before now?? Sooo thankful I finally have and have been taking note, making a list and looking forward to starting a new skin care routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Straightforward simple approach to the budget skin care. Pls don’t stop making videos. They are incredibly helpful for people who don’t wanna waste lids of money on skin care. Tysm. Love from India!
What a nice comment! That is my goal. I love to teach people how you can get healthy skin without spending a fortune. Thanks for watching!
Very informative..i will follow the steps
Thank you for this very helpful information and content! Quick question- a group you have mentioned not use was those who are trying to get pregnant. Does this include those who is not currently trying to get pregnant, but planning to? Thank you in advance
Ll
Pls suggest a good moisturizer for oily skin along with tretinoin 0.025
My new fav dermatology channel 🥰
That’s awesome! Thanks so much
@@TheBudgetDermatologist We appreciate your practical tips. I changed my approach to skin care after I subscribed to your channel.
I have dry, eczema prone skin complicated by monthly hormonal pimples. I used to follow the Korean skin care fad of 8-10 steps. Which is time consuming, pricey, and I even ended up with more pimples and pimple marks.
Now, I am just following the basics:
AM:
Salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser (I use BP cleanser a week prior to my period).
Cerave AM moisturizer with spf 30
PM:
Micellar water to remove sunscreen
Cetaphil cleanser
Olay Retinol Serum
Cerave PM moisturizer
No more layering of toners, essences, emulsion, ampoules and masks.
You are absolutely correct that simpler routine works better: easier compliance and it delivers results. I managed my hormonal acne better with this approach.
Thank you so much!
Love and greetings from the Philippines! 💖
Same!!
Me too. I saw Dr Dray & did not like her videos at all. These videos I love. Doctor Locke is the BEST!
Absolutely! Same here ❤️
I’m obsessed and I’ve only watched two of your videos! You are so well spoken and break it down so easily!!!!!
This is the best dermatology channel, thank you!
Thank you for being one of the few Derms I’ve seen actually saying to use it once then waiting 3-7 days 🙌🏽! Soooo many (I’ve watched a lot of derm & esthetician videos aha) say start every other day. That’s just crazy to me!! I’m happy how I was thinking to use it is applicable. 🤗
You are an amazing resource, thank you! You make skincare accessible and give us all the info we need. Please continue giving us more content! :)
I love the super logical notes in your video! Thank you so much I’ll head to target and get my first retinol rn! 😊
Thank you so much for breaking down such a complicated topic so simply!!
Omg. In a sea of doctors and influencer that just push crap and give conflicting advice ur a lighthouse of real helpful information! Thank u
Thanks for this video! I started using Adapalene at the end of December to treat my acne, and today my skin looks much better, but I still gotta keep doing it to have the result I want! You just got a new fan from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great info, All my questions were answered. I’m glad I found you . I’ll be subscribing. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your incredible sense of clarity in exposing things.
I love how you simplify the routines! I used to use so many different products and it felt very overwhelming. Your videos are truly a blessing! 😁👍
This is the first time I've heard a derm recommend the OTC versions which is great because its a great way to desensitise your skin and work up to tretanoin. I didn't do this, but can see the reasoning. If you are really sensitive, and think you might react, having a 1cm patch of extremely irritated skin is much easier to manage than your whole face, so start with a test patch. I learned this after being prescribed tretanoin over 50 years from the age of 9 (back then it was an oil). Over the years, each time I had to see a derm for rosacea or cystic acne, it would be prescribed again. I was never successful, couldn't get past the first application. More recently, a GP prescribed it for "anti-aging". Now, thanks to CZcams and all the support groups on social media and also COVID lockdown, I summonsed the courage to try again, this time starting with a test spot the size of my finger on the right side of my face and used it as advised (once a week for the first month, then twice a week for the next month, then three times etc). Incredibly, it worked like it was supposed to, eventually not being so reactive. That gave me the confidence to start a spot on the left hand side, and repeat the process.
The marvellous thing about tretanoin is that it travels, so a finger sized spot actually is double that size due to the product travelling. Slowly, the treatment area was expanded in ever widening circles, the immediate skin around it was already semi-adjusted, so it didn't take as long for that area, then the next. It probably took about 6 months in all to be able to tolerate it. Even now after another twelve months, I am still on only 3 times a week, although sometimes I might give it a rev up on the weekends applying it twice in a row.
I absolutely love the way you explained this process!!!! 🥰
This was so helpful! Easy to understand information. Love your videos!
Would love to see your morning and night skincare routine!!
I dont really care about skincare but wanted to up my game since after looking closely at my skin one day I realized how uneven and discolored it looks after dealing with acne and sun exposure for several years. I always research before I buy anything and usually go through multiple sources and I have to say you have made learning about skincare and the best products to use so easy. You seem so genuine and knowledgable and your videos are so simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much for your videos and I cant wait to see how far this channel goes. You are saving a lot of the males out there who are clueless about skincare like me!
I'm SOOOO happy I found you!!!! Thank you!
This video is all I’ve needed! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much Dr... These videos are priceless!! You REALLY speak to me because I've always been a skincare major enthusiast!! Thank you so much for all the fantastic information .. LOVE your videos!!! 🎯❣️😍
Please do a video on The Ordinary's products! Love your videos!
I followed your routine ,i thank you .you're so real
never seen someone go into such detail about retinoids before. I learned so much. thank you a ton!!
Thank you thank yo!! You don’t know how many questions you have answered for me. I am going to watch your videos over and over to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I’m a 68 year old lady that’s been using retinol products for a few years now, but sometimes I get carried away with either adding things I shouldn’t, like vitamin C and get dried out and flaking skin. You are an AWSOME doctor that explains everything so clearly and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you.
I would love a video on tazarotene! I feel like theirs so much info out there about adapalene and tretinoin, but almost nothing on tazarotene. I use tazarotene cream 0.1% everynight and it works so well for my acne but I actually don't know much about it. I would love to know more about it and how it works, and im sure others would to!
Hi Dr Maren! I finally now know how to begin with retinoids, you taught a lot in this video, thank you so much! May u have More subscribers to come❤️😊
Great video doc! I'm new to your channel and loving all your content. Hope you have a great 2021!
Thank you SO much for the tip about not using cerave with a retinoid! I was having trouble trying to start adapelene and switching out Cerave for Cetaphil lotion at night made a HUGE difference! I didn’t get any irritation for once.
The Best and my fave dermatology channel!! Can you please make a MORNING AND NIGHT ROUTINE for Dry Skin. Thank you!
So glad to have found this page. I have been trying to up my skin care, while on a budget. It felt impossible but this channel has helped. Thanks. Definitely following on insta
You organize & explain content so well. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I discovered your channel! I really appreciate how in depth you go into each topic. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Very helpful and understandable. I will definitely be starting one of these gentle retinols. I had been afraid and overwhelmed from watching other videos. This was reassuring.
The information I was looking for!! Thanks!
You're so pretty doc. Thank you for this 🧡
Thank you for breaking everything down! I was prescribed retinoids as a teen with acne and they always made my face way more red and flaky. All the dermatologist ever said was that I just had to wait out the redness and it would eventually get better. But I'm an impatient person and would just stop using it. I had no idea that I was applying it too soon after washing my face and that it probably would have helped to use a moisturizer first. I also didn't know to start super super slow either. I'm going to give it another go!
This was the most informative and easy to watch Retenoid video I've ever watched, thank you!
I’ve been watching for a few weeks and really appreciate your practical, informative approach. Thank you so much for the great information!
Can't wait to get started on this. Thank you so much for your Insight and, your straightforward comments!!! I definitely be posting some before and after pictures
You are so easy to understand and give such helpful advice. Never had a dermatologist explain any of this so well. Most derms just want to write prescription for you and get on with the next patient. Thankful for your help!
Thank you so much!! This is typically an overwhelming topic with overwhelming opinions and products from all directions. I appreciate your simple and cost effective approach.
You are appreciated!
I was in target yesterday and I was so lost I am glad I found this channel
What a conscience blogger，so glad to find you before I start my retinol journey. I had watched all your videos at least three times so far. Loved them👍
Hearing that it only needs to be applied 3-5 nights a week eventually is a huge relief! I'll be starting my surgery rotation soon and I feel there will be some nights I'm going to just want to come home and knock out! Thank you so much!
So Awesome! I'm giving the skin on my whole body a break from all the products I've been trying and using that are irritating me big time and starting over with your awesome routine, especially knowing that even moving up to just 3 days a week 1x a day you can reap the benefits and I'm sure that's for every part on your body not just your face and neck. I have sensitive skin and I've been ruining it! However, my fav so far is retinaldehyde for face, BHA for arms & MAP Vit C for hands, which I'm sure hydroxy acids, Vitamin C's etc should be added gradually, as well. Thank you Doctor
Thank you so much for all the information you provide!
Thank you sooo much! I had no clue what and how to use! 👍❤️
I wasted sooo many hours trying to watch videos and figure out a routine for the ordinary line. I have gotten so much wonderful information for products with research to back them. Thank you!!!!
I also like how fresh and healthy you look, too. Not only is your skin healthy and glowing so is your hair. Definitely walk your talk :)
Just stumbled on your channel last night and I am so impressed and now obsessed with all your info!!! Thank you 😊
I love how you write things down in charts!
Me too! I’m a visual person.
When I was upgrading from a .25 to 1.0 retinol (Skin Medica), my esthetician recommend doing 1 day for the first week, then 2 days in a row the 2nd week, etc, (ex. Saturday, then following Saturday & Sunday, then following Sat, Sun, Mon, etc) to help my skin get acclimated. It worked and I can now use it every night with no reaction.
Your channel is wonderful! Thank you so much for this informative video. I went through my collection while you were speaking to understand my skin care. 🤩
I loved your way of explaining everything
I would LOVE derm approved makeup or just your personal favorite makeup! It’s always so beautiful
That’s so kind of you!!
Thank you! I’ve used retinol for about 6 mos but had some redness and irritation. My problem was putting it on right out of the shower. Much better now that I wait 10-15 minutes.
Thank you for the instructions. Very informative!!
Your are great!!! 👍 thank you very much for guiding us 😊
Thank you for these videos. My mother passed along generally good skin genes and my skincare routine has always been above-average but not always the best. I mostly used Lab Series and Clinique for Men once I was able to afford them but moved to drugstore brands as they've improved. Your videos help instill confidence in drugstore brands (although my dermatologist provides me with a prescription tretinoin solution), and your emphasis on consistency is comforting because I've been consistent for almost 40 years, beginning in my 20s. Being a mid-Boomer, having northern European/British Isles genes, and coming of age during the 60s and 70s and the "get that deep, dark, native tan" era, I did plenty of sun damage to my skin during my youth. My Navy career probably didn't help much and I'm also a life-long avid outdoors athlete. However, my facial complexion receives compliments, the most gratifying being along the lines of "You look like a person who spends a lot of time outdoors, but one who takes good care of his skin." A melanoma on my shoulders, back, or lower extremities isn't out of the question, and I'm 67 now and not far from getting on my final glideslope, but my arrival at the gate should be with a decent countenance. Thank you again!
this was incredibly helpful and informative! thank you so much for making the time to share and educate us! cant wait to kick start my retinol journey
You are so welcome! Good luck!
I love this video, you are an amazing dermatologist and teacher, thank you 😀
I love your videos!! So simple and straight forward. And I am learning how to build the routine that is best for me! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video!! Greetings from Alexandria Egypt :)
You are welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Glad I found your channel! My skin is still recovering from a retinoid dermatitis when I have been using the TO 1% retinol for a month that caused acne to pop up all over my cheeks. Time to start with a lower % retinol now.
This was such a great, detailed and useful advice! I love the video, many thanks
Wow!!! Very informative! Thank you so much ❤️
New subscriber here. SO grateful I found this channel! 💖 You have informed me more in this video than my own dermatologist has in the last year. I just got prescribed a tretenion 0.5% gel and I'm gonna sandwich my moisturizer and start slow. But my question is, once I run out of this (it was $90 for just a small tube and I can't afford to buy that every 3 months 😬) can I use Differin or one of those cream based retinols instead to keep up with the anti-acne & aging benefits without breaking the bank? Will it still benefit my skin to go from something stronger to something a little weaker?
Thank you so much for slowly educating every point of this topic along with optional brand picks. Your tutorial was the easiest to navigate through this complex topic. I believe you have covered every basis and or concern I've had. ❤
Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear this. Thanks for watching.

I listened to this three times!! Such good information 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for watching. I am glad you found it helpful!
Straight forward, very informative, and not overly complicated. Thank you thank you!! Very helpful

The part of when to use and pairing was really informative !!!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
I am so glad I found this channel! I loved the explanations of retinol. I do have a question. Do you think Bakuchiol is an effective alternative to retinol for women who are pregnant and breastfeeding? And how soon after breastfeeding can a woman restart retinol? Thank you! 🥰
Thank you for this very helpful video!😍
THANK YOU!!!! Everything I needed to know !! Amazing video
Love your videos! So easy to understand! I would love a video about eye creams you recommended, especially ones for dark circles. 🙂

Thank you for your videos. They are very well explained, educational and all around great 🙏😊
That’s so kind! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. I have now started my skin routine and feel confident in looking after it and it feels so goooood!
what a class! you're so didactic I couldn't take my eyes off and pay attention the whole time. thank you!
You're right about going about using the retinol gradually. I started using the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 a little over a month ago. I generally have sensitive skin to begin with. I love this product! But I wish I would have listened to you the first time around in your skin care routine video, to use retinol gradually. I was using this almost every night, if not every night. For the first couple of weeks, my skin was fine, great even! Then, boom, my face got red, rough, sooo itchy, painful and really warm to the touch. The only thing I could tolerate on my skin was water. No makeup, nothing. It was soo painful. It started 2 weeks ago and it's just now clearing. I want to use it again, the right way, when I'm sure that my skin is back to normal. Listen to you this time. Lesson learned!!!
Step 1: Is the retinoid right for you?
Step 2: Pick your retinoid product. Types; Prescribed and over the counter. (Consistency and strength) High concentration = more irritation.
Step 3: Put it in skincare properly (night with moisturiser, not with vitamin c and benzoyl peroxide)
Step 4: Start slowly (use once and wait for few days watching out for irritation/redness, then use three times a week and dont use too much)
Step 5: Be consistent.
Love it! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Can the tretinoin penetrate moisturizer with petrolatum?
@@Print229 I have this same question!
Thank you
Thank you for all your hard work helping us 💜
This helped a ton! Thank you for making easy to understand videos.
Thank you for the easy way to understand retinoids/retinols! Would I be able to use the Olay retinol max, since I have Milia? Or would you suggest another product for my dry, mature and Milia prone skin?
