Tretinoin is the bomb. When I first started it, Cerave saved my skin. Something else to note is that the vehicle of the tretinoin. I have mine in a gel vehicle and that is more harsh. If you have sensitive skin, go with a cream vehicle
Thank you so much for this video! I was prescribed tretinion months ago and was too terrified to start using it, but am a lot more confident after watching this!
Hi queen 💖 i just have to say i appreciate your videos so much! After just finding your channel a few weeks ago i’ve been flying through your videos lol. It’s obvious you are busting your ass and it shows in the quality of your content! You’re so knowledgeable and entertaining, and it’s so refreshing to watch someone who is no bullshit. Thank you for putting in the work that you do for the rest of us. You’ve helped me with my personal skincare issues immensely! 😘
This is so helpful. I have been using tretinoin for years, but I still get irritation occasionally and have trouble figuring out what to do and how to get back into it. My derm is pretty vague about what to do. Specific recommendations of products are so helpful.
I started using Differin about a month ago , I use it after a double cleanse with my Vanicream facial cleanser and Vanicream daily moisturizer and I've never had any irritation or problems with it
This video is great timing. I just started Curology tretinoin 0.007% on Sunday 3 nights ago. I was too scared to use it every night so tonight will be my second night. I buffered it the first time with my hydrating serums and moisturizer and had no problems so I might just repeat that tonight. Thanks for the video!
Wow. Such a thorough, helpful video. Packed with super helpful disclaimers along the way so people know that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to any skincare concern. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips in such an inclusive, wholistic way!
My dermatologist inform me that azelaic acid is not an exfoliant. And then it's actually really good To use with track, I could continue with my over-the-counter Or take a prescription for it to use with tret. T It actually has nothing to do with exfoliation. It helps with redness and inflammation, which could be caused by the medication.
I wish I had learned about skin barrier damage yearssss ago, I thought my skin being irritated all the time was nornal but turns out using harsh scrubs daily and a million random products is super bad 🤦🏽♀️
I was prescribed tretinoin for hormonal acne and I get it along my jaw line, neck and behind my ears. terrible!!! I've tried your recommendation tonight about putting a barrier first so will see how we go, I got such irritation previously that I stopped using it. Here's hoping this works 🤞
Thank the Lord i used my mom's tube of prescription tretinoin to clear my skin takes me up to 2 months I'd say to get the best results, after dealing with clearing up highly inflamed acne for 4 almost 5 months. I deal with texture, red acne marks, clogged pores, it helped clear that up and my complexion was so much better! This treatment along with products that calm irritation and inflammation on my skin barrier has made such a difference. Tretinoin is a LIFE SAVER!!!
''Pull yourself together!" ha ha that was my fav part of your video!! I bought Inkey list retinol to start but I'm hesitating because of the side effects & I don't know how to fit it in my routine with the few other products I'm using: lactic acid, salicylic acid serum, azelaic acid, alpha arbutin.
I was on roaccutane which worked amazing for my skin but since wearing masks my acne has come back around my jawline so I’m now on prescribed medication from dermatica (like a UK curology) of adapalene 0.1% niacinamide 4% azelaic acid 4%
Actually you CAN get retinoid-a for about 8$ from an online website called reliablerx.com or something like that. I’ve been getting my 0.05% & .1% from them for YEARS and it is the real deal. The US has a weird pharmaceutical monopoly on retina tretinoin where they charge 200$ for like .5oz of product and that doesn’t jive well with me so believe me you can get it online. It is the Indian version but it’s the exact same thing. I recommend starting with the lowest strength and then after 6 months going to .1%. Just my 2 cents!
Great video! I have been using prescription strength tretinoin every night for two years. The only thing I can’t get myself to do is put it on before moisturizer. I’m too nervous! Haha
How do you determine how much Retinol is in a product? I have been using Cosmedix Skin Clarifying Serum for a few months. It says it contains Retinol, but I don't know how potent it is. Love the product so far. Your videos are soo helpful. Thanks for all your time and research!
Thank you so much! Use at alternate times of day (in AM) & no more than a few times a week. I recommend just starting off with once a week to see how your skin responds
Hello abbey, i was just wondering if we are applying retin a every night then when do we get a chance to exfoliate ? Do you use exfoliants during the day instead ? How often do you exfoliate ?
Abbey your so knowledgeable. I always look out for ingredients and do further research. Thanks for talking about retinols..I also wanted to ask could u do videos on naturium brand?? The vit c complex and ther line in general...😇😊😉
Abbey can you please do an updated skin care routine with you using your Curology prescription? I literally just applied my 1st application of my prescription & would love to see how you're liking it. Thx
Hey Lady! It's been so long since I have commented or watched your videos. I apologize for that. I've had a very long hospital stay and recovery this year. Hope that you are well and having a great year! I am serious about skincare and nutrition, but also taking care of my skin and body because when I was a teenager I struggled with severe cystic acne, but thank goodness for Accutane. I currently use Aklief for occasional break outs and for anti-aging, but want to incorporate a new oil or serum since I ran out of my previous one. I like to use an oil with my Cerave cream after I have basically shaved my face. Lol! Would like to use the oil or serum a few times a week. I'm looking into the needless serum, but we will see. Trying to be careful with my spending habits as I already put enough money into other products, etc. I wanted to say hello and share with you where I am at with my skincare journey. Take care!
Holy Moly! That was a great video. I started Curology about a year ago at the lowest dose. I now am on 0.05 with no problem at all. However, I continued to use the lowest dose on my neck and am trying to use the stronger but I feel an itchy, burning sensation. What would you recommend?
Started tret in the form of Differin last week and so far have not experienced a purge other than two big zits on my chin. Am I in the clear? I’m actually scared.
If anyone is traveling to mexico or knows any family members traveling and you want to save some coins, go to a mexican pharmacy and get your tretinoin there! You can buy it over the counter with no drs prescription needed unlike in the United States. Its so affordable Iv seen it as low as 10$ a tube
Hi Abbey, Great video 💕. I previously was using a Retinal No7, 1.5%! I started to to use this gradually to working up to using it every night. On that first week of using this my skin started to show redness and a burning feeling. Since that didn't agree with me! Would another brand of Retinol work or would I be better of using an anti aging serum? I would love to know your thoughts ❤️. Hope you can help! Another we thing is! What is the best overall vitamin c product that you would recommend. As I would do anything that works for me 😘. I bought the Cerave cleanser and moisturizer in a smaller size to see how I get on with this before purchasing the larger size. 😍
Thanks for the variety of products mentioned. Ans Omg Geek & Gorgeous is a Hungarian brand. When I noticed Hungarian writing on the packaging I almost dropped my phone. How did you discover this brand? And how have I never heard of them (being from there now living in the US).
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been using tret from curology for a few months and I’ve been getting a lot of peeling and stinging on my chin area. Especially the next morning when I wash it off and do my morning routine, it hurts! I’ve been doing the tret first and every night, so I am going to go down to every couple days and put on after my pm moisturizer. Ive also noticed my skin is so much more sensitive to the sun even with 50 SPF on. It start to get really red and hurt. Any recommendations for that?
Would cetaphil redness relief night moisturizer be a good option for AM and PM? With tretinoin in pm? I can’t decide between trying that or trying Vanicream daily moisturizer.
Just ordered a trial through curology they actually said I can use a little of the tretinoin around my eyes. In their “prescription” routine plan for me. I have major issues with hyperpigmentation, circles and fine lines. I’m 36…. Has anyone used around their eyes and been ok? The prescriber herself said it was ok. But I’m reluctant due to that area being so sensitive in general. Thoughts? Abbey would love your opinion. I have been using strivectin retinol super c for a month with no issue. Tried the Sunday Riley eye retinoid serum but def irritated me. I’m being started on the following formula Tretinoin 0.009% Tranexamic acid 5% Niacinamide 4%
I use tret around my eyes. I was just increased to 0.05%. I’ve probably been on tret about a year. My skin is pretty tough tho before Curology I used a pretty strong AHA that I was even able to use nightly and not get irritation. 🤷🏽♀️
I'm a little bit confused between vitamin c and retinoids, I do understand the difference but I feel like they do the same thing, if anyone can help explain that would be a great help, sorry if I sound confusing!
they do offer some similar benefits but retinoids are far more potent & proven for acne and anti-aging. Vitamin C is not necessary but something I like to add to brighten my skin further and make it look glowy!
@@AbbeyYung How often do you use vit C serums? Have you tried metrixyl 3000 or other timeless products? They have them at target now. The thing is vit C goes bad so not sure how they can have a long shelf life in the stores.
I have used 0.05% tretinoin for 20 years. My skin is drier now that I'm older (42) so my derm put me on 0.05% Altreno. I love it b/c much less peeling, but it's not approved for fine lines and wrinkles, only adult acne at this time. Any advice if I should maybe switch to Refissa that is approved for lines and wrinkles? Should the results be the same since they are both 0.05% tretinoin or does the base/vehicle also matter (lotion vs cream)? Thank you for all your amazing education on this topic!
Hello Abbey, do you have any preferences on a brand of tretinoin? Also looks like my insurance would not cover because it’s cosmetic according to them even tho I went to my dermatologist for melasma reasons. Do you mind telling me how much it is. Thank you for all the information.
It really depends on the brand. Im in australia and a prescribed tretinoin in the brand name of stieva a 0.05% cost about 25$, the obagi 0.05% would be around 40~50$. The whole tube should last you a year or more, cause you only use a pea size each time and for the first 2 months, i only use tretinoin once a week.
Hi Abbey, Yes 👍 😊 ☺, please do a review over Aveeno. I've heard great things about their new line; especially their new moisturizing gel....Hard to get here in Europe, but maybe through Amazon???
Question on the Drmtlgy line. I have the anti aging cleanser, needless serum and avanced CE serum along with the peptides night cream in what order should i use the products morning and night if I was to also incorporate the retnoid?
Hi there ! This is a great vid (and the previous one too!). The dilemma that I am having is in relation to strengths of products. My skin behaves well and is able to tolerate more aggressive treatment. For a long time I was on 0.15% retinaldehyde from osmosis and I loved it, no irritation, no peeling, I could use it everyday. Now, due to melasma, I am on prescription tetrinoid 0.015% and I am so super careful, ... but I am not sure I have to be considering there are vast differences in the strengths. Is it possible the tretinoid I am on is less effective than osmosis I was previously on ? Thanks 😊
It can! Best to not use at the same time as tret to minimize irritation, but is fine with most retinol serums. Yes you can use a retinol serum around the eyes! Love doing that
What are your thoughts on Sunday Riley A+ retinol serum? I've used it for a few days, little bit of irritation, so I decided to go 1 to 2 days off and incorporated my Eucerin moisturizer w/coq10 and then then 2 to 3 days on , etc. For now. Although I just realized I was putting it under It cosmetics Confidence in a cream night cream. My skin burns and stings when I put it on my irritated skin. Which now thinking about it, It cream has a lot of ingredients including lavender essential oil I believe. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts. Btw I'm new to retinol.
Can u use the Dermtlgy needless serum on the same night as retinol or retinal I know it has copper and Vitamen C in it and can u use the retinol products after your moisterizer and it still be effective if ur skin is more sensitive that's what I have been doing I started like 5 weeks ago.
You *can* just order tret from an online pharmacy though if it's not available in your country, like mine! Some of us have no official way of getting the thing, hahah.
You can get prescription tret from reliable pharmacy rx without a prescription. It is safe and inexpensive. Johnson and Johnson makes it. Been using them for years.
@@cindymeadows5394 Last time I checked they didn't deliver to my country, I'll see if that's changed. But for now I'm good with like a year's worth of stuff.
moisturize! LRP cicaplast baume, cerave renewing night cream, FAB ultra repair cream, drmtlgy peptide night cream (don't forget to use the code ABBEY20 to help support abbey's channel and get you 20% off) are all great options. I also love petrolatum, aquaphor and cerave healing ointment to lock that moisture in. HTH
Tretinoin is the bomb. When I first started it, Cerave saved my skin. Something else to note is that the vehicle of the tretinoin. I have mine in a gel vehicle and that is more harsh. If you have sensitive skin, go with a cream vehicle
Absolutely! Think I brought that up in part 1 too 😊 I thought the gel smelled sooo bad anyway 😂

I would recommend Paula’s choice clinical line retinols. You will def see results
This is so helpful. I have been using tretinoin for years, but I still get irritation occasionally and have trouble figuring out what to do and how to get back into it. My derm is pretty vague about what to do. Specific recommendations of products are so helpful.
PS your curls look great today!
I'm so glad to help! And thank you :)
They all are. I wish those doctors guide us 🙄 Thank God for people like Abbey.
Can you please do a PM/AM Tretinoin skin care routine? A updated one? As well as how to deal with certain flare ups
I’ll be doing an updated routine soon but my last routines included tret 😊
I started using Differin about a month ago , I use it after a double cleanse with my Vanicream facial cleanser and Vanicream daily moisturizer and I've never had any irritation or problems with it
Amazing!

Innisfree Cica balm is also very soothing to tret skin
Need to try that!
I just got my one month trial of Cureology. Perfect timing!
Hope this helps 😊

Have you heard of skin becoming really oily/greasy after using tretinoin? I've been on tretinoin for 6 months and now my skin is really oily.
It probably because your pores were unclogging and allowing more oil to come out
Could be dehydrated so your skin is over compensating with oil production
Great video! I have been using prescription strength tretinoin every night for two years. The only thing I can’t get myself to do is put it on before moisturizer. I’m too nervous! Haha
so glad you enjoyed it! I get that 😂
Ty Abbey! Your content is always on time! Just bumped up the strength of my tret! 🥰
Yay perfect timing 😊
Just got my new tretinoin prescription from the pharmacy and this is exactly the video I wanted
How do you determine how much Retinol is in a product? I have been using Cosmedix Skin Clarifying Serum for a few months. It says it contains Retinol, but I don't know how potent it is. Love the product so far.
Your videos are soo helpful. Thanks for all your time and research!
Some don’t disclose its such a bummer 😕
You’re so down earth, we appreciate it. How do you recommend including an aha/bha when using tret everyday n how often?
Thank you so much! Use at alternate times of day (in AM) & no more than a few times a week. I recommend just starting off with once a week to see how your skin responds
What are your thoughts about applying tretinoin right under the eyes and on the eyelids? There are differing opinions about this.

Prices in North America are crazy. I pay for my prescription tretinoin in Europe +/- 5 USD per 1oz tube. (0.5%)
Holy Moly! That was a great video. I started Curology about a year ago at the lowest dose. I now am on 0.05 with no problem at all. However, I continued to use the lowest dose on my neck and am trying to use the stronger but I feel an itchy, burning sensation. What would you recommend?
so glad you enjoyed it! the skin on our neck tends to not tolerate tretinon well. I'd recommend using a retinol cream instead!
Started tret in the form of Differin last week and so far have not experienced a purge other than two big zits on my chin. Am I in the clear? I’m actually scared.
Can you put trentinoin in the fridge ?? Does anyone know? With summer coming up I’m a little concerned about the heat ruining my cream...?

Yes! I'll be reviewing them very very soon. Some subscribers asked me to review it so that's how I discovered it!

At what age should i start using retinol?
Omg which curl iron did u use? How much inch ?
SOOOOOOO usefulllll!!!!
If I use Differin one night can I use the cerave renewing serum on a different night ? Like rotate the 2 products
If iv been using Adapaline for the past year will I skip the purge phase and not really have irritation phase?

Thank you! Can I train my skin to be more ready for tretinoin by using retinol for a long time? If so, how long?
You can! Just depends on your skin. If you’re able to use it with no irritation, it’s a good time to ask your derm about tret!
Hi Abbey, Yes 👍 😊 ☺, please do a review over Aveeno. I've heard great things about their new line; especially their new moisturizing gel....Hard to get here in Europe, but maybe through Amazon???
stay tuned :)
Any recommendations for dryness and flakiness after using tretinoin? I just started using it about a week ago.
Have you been sandwiching the tretinoin? And starting slow like 2 times a week at first until your skin adjusts to that and so on... etc..
New Canadian subscriber 👍
Question on the Drmtlgy line. I have the anti aging cleanser, needless serum and avanced CE serum along with the peptides night cream in what order should i use the products morning and night if I was to also incorporate the retnoid?

So vitamin C can safely be used with retinol?? Oh, is it safe to use retinol in eye area, as that's main wrinkles for me??
It can! Best to not use at the same time as tret to minimize irritation, but is fine with most retinol serums. Yes you can use a retinol serum around the eyes! Love doing that
@@AbbeyYung I was hoping so as I've been using retinal around eyes , because like I said, that's where main wrinkles are.

@@AbbeyYung so I'm thinking I will continue with retinol and my Eucerin CoQ10
Can u use the Dermtlgy needless serum on the same night as retinol or retinal I know it has copper and Vitamen C in it and can u use the retinol products after your moisterizer and it still be effective if ur skin is more sensitive that's what I have been doing I started like 5 weeks ago.
Yes that serum can be used with retinoids!
How could you use tretinoin to fade crow's feet? i've heard you are not supposed to put it near the eyes.
I use a retinol serum around the eyes!
Vanicream saved me too 😻

@@cindymeadows5394 Last time I checked they didn't deliver to my country, I'll see if that's changed. But for now I'm good with like a year's worth of stuff.
Okay when my skin gets flakey from retinol tx, what do I do? Use? Exfoliate or not ,?? If so masks or sponge?
moisturize! LRP cicaplast baume, cerave renewing night cream, FAB ultra repair cream, drmtlgy peptide night cream (don't forget to use the code ABBEY20 to help support abbey's channel and get you 20% off) are all great options. I also love petrolatum, aquaphor and cerave healing ointment to lock that moisture in. HTH
You are a gem thank you for the support ♥️
Yes, moisture! If your skin can tolerate the Cerave healing ointment I’ve found it to be very helpful
ONCE YOU HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS YOU CANT GO BACK!!!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS FOR SAVING ME!!!!!!!!
