Thank you so much for the details. I was having doubts if I should or shouldn't but your video made it clear I need it.❤️
I’m so glad to see more people talking about retinoids. They are amazing and don’t get enough credit for the amazing results they generate. ☺️🦋
I am so glad that I found your channel ! You always give a clear explanation that we all can follow, and I thank you for that. You have made me a firm believer in my skin care routine . I even rewatched your videos while I was doing my morning and night time routine. I am a mature women and I really wish we would have had the opportunity to have CZcams’s back in the with awesome doctors like yourself ! In my mind I believe that it’s never to late to start. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us . ❤️
Thanks for the must needed info.💡As I just had the worst reaction to retional.😱 Awesome video as always ! 👑
hi Dr Sugai, thanks for your informative video once again. Are you able to do a video on cystic ance? eg. when a cystic acne develops, what are the care steps to take up to protct and heal the area? Thank you
Thank you for educating us Doc! Very vital information to maximize the benefits safely! Aloha and enjoy your day!🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thank you so much for your videos!!! Will PPO insurance cover the cost of retinoids? Thank you
Thank you for the valuable information you offer for free 🙏 which are the best retionl products you would recommend for a begginer?
Thank you for this video! Sending lots of love to you!
Thank you so much!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙❤️
Can you please do a video on how to use adapalene on the body? Also maybe you can recommend a face and body sunscreen for someone on retinoid [adapalene] 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for explaining the irritation ! I starting using an anti aging créame and feel tingles on my face. Good to know that’s my face getting use to it.
Thank you so much for using your precious time to help us!!🙏🙌 How do we know when it's time to increase retinol dosage or when to get a prescription? Is there such thing as the skin getting retinol resistant?
Great advice. Thank you very much.
Hello Barbara
Dr. Sugai you rock!!
Thank you, my friend!
Great video. I have been using retinoids for about 25 years. I started using ROC when it came out many years ago. I am currently using prescription tretinoin 0.05 nightly. I use the buffering method. I put on my moisturizer on slightly damp skin and then wait 30 minutes to use my retinoid. Magic! 😀
Thanks Doc always appreciate it 😍 have a good day and takecare
Thank you so much and great to see you here on CZcams as well. You’re awesome!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Dr. Sugai. Nice to meet you. I really don't have any skin issues so my Derm Dr friend (I'm not her patient) a long time ago gave me .05 J&J Tretinoin Cream and still does because I'm cheap and won't pay for it lol. Never had a problem with it and started using every night and I still do. Thank you for a great video and I liked and subscribed so see you next time!
Dr Sugai! Have you tried the Versed Press Restart Gentle Retinol serum? It’s available at target. I think you might approve! Thank you so much for these informative videos, you have definitely demystified retinol for me as POC 💕
Thank you, Dr. Daniel!! We appreciate it!! Wrinkles are earned. It's a sign of aging. Wrinkles are caused by the sun, according to my dermatologist. That's I wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 55 on my face. I use Neutrogena for the face. I love it!! It works great!! I love it!! 💖
Love your videos
Please Would u like to do video on Amlactin on face? Can we apply on face? How to apply on wet skin or dry skin.
Love your channel. I am also from Hawaii and have hyperpigmentation on my face, chest and arms. Therefore, I have been using (for the past year) the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ .5% serum. I have not found a review of this product from you. Would you recommend this product for an experienced retinol user?
At age 52 I am new to the retinoid game (and kicking myself for not starting much sooner!) I appreciate your thorough explanations about different products, and between your info and info from the gents @Doctorly I managed to not run away screaming from retinoids after my first experience with a pretty scary bout of retinoid-induced irritation. I also love your videos from Hawaii--I spent 4 years in Hawaii when I was in the Navy, and it will always have a special place in my heart! Keep up the good work!
At least you’ve found them now - I love Tretinoin and use it 3-4 times a week. I’ve had amazing results ☺️
Love your videos!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the info
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Could you compare Adapalene vs Tretinoin for acne and dark spots? Also comparing the difference between 0.1% Adapalene vs prescription 0.3%?
I really like your videos. Could you do one on the different strengths of retinoids. How long to stay on the different strengths.
Hey there, I’ve been using retinoids for years. This completely varies from person to person. Personally, I used Tretinoin 0.025% for 3 weeks (3-4 times per week). Then I went to 0.05% (3 times per week). I’ve had some awesome results with Tretinoin ☺️
Thank you Dr. Sugai, I'm new to skin care and I've learned a lot from your channel. However, there is one question which I couldn't yet find an answer.. and that's can we use hyaluronic acid together with retinoids? For example, I learned from another dermatologist who said don't use cleansers with HA as it can cause the retinoids to penetrate deeper into the skin hence causing irritation. Yet someone else would say HA is the exception and recommends that the Cerave Cream to Foam cleanser with HA is best paired with retinoids. Would be great to hear your take regarding this, thank you.
Hey Doc, can you tell me what you think of StriVectin Retinol cream? I stockpiled it from Costco and I want to make sure it's good for your skin.
Thank you for all the information, best regards from Poland :))
Amazing- so great to meet you all the way from Seattle! Thank you for watching and take care, my friend 🙏🏼🤙
Great video Dr. Sugai! Thanks for the very helpful tips! I'm so happy to hear you were at BI, that's been my hospital for over 25 years! Awesome doctors and superb care! I wish you were still in Boston so I could be your patient. Anyway, thank you for all you do and keep these videos coming. Have a great week!
Same! 😂
Same! Worked at BI back in the 90s; been a pt ever since.
Hello mimi how are you doing?
Any thoughts on the tretinoin equivalent from Indian pharmacies?
hi! should teens start using retinoids / retinols? or are they more suited for anti-aging purposes? thanks!
Thanks for this myth busting video.
I am 65 and pretty new to using retinol products. I was torn between Olay and Neutrogena, but I watched the comparison video. I am leaning more towards Olay now. I am glad you mentioned "go low n slow." Every 3 days for 2-3 weeks, then increasing to every other day for a couple of weeks, before applying daily is a good plan for one with sensitive skin.
I am also enjoying the comments. Like reversing the order of the moisturizer abs retinol cream to help lessen irritation.
Terri here. Oil of Olay...the original beauty fluid. No matter what my skin care of the year might be (not so fickle anymore, tho), I wind up with fresh, current Oil of Olay moisturizer. So many of my friends’ mothers used nothing but Olay...beautiful skin till the day they passed. A nice tradition and ode to those who paved the way...
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such great and informative subjects with us!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much, Roberta! Take care 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙❤️
@@danielsugaimd hi
@@danielsugaimd Dr where can I oder
What do you think about eletone cream? Is there a dupe of this product otc?
Hi Dr.
I my main issues at 62 is blackheads and uppet lip and crows feet wrinkles. I was using the ordinary Grenactive retinol serum. But didn't seem to do much especially for blackheads. I just ordered the 1% differin adapalene after watching your videos.Do you think this will address those issues before going to a more aggressive tactic like Trentinoin? Thank you in advance for your reply! I've been telling my friends all about you!
Dr. Sugoi ✨
ty for the great video. For some one with no acne which one should I use to get overall beter skin the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum or CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum?
Thanks for your videos and taking the time to do this!! How close under the eye is safe?
I see this question all the time and discuss it in my latest video. It’s recommended to use it up to the orbital bone. Tretinoin can migrate 2cm under the skin. It knows where to go ☺️🦋
Have you ever tested the products called No7?
Can you please suggest something for acne spot
Hi Dr. Sugai, I have a question, please...I'm 45 and have been using retinol, 2 - 3 times a week for a couple of years now. Since starting, I have noticed NEW hyperpigmentation coming to the surface of my skin despite religiously wearing SPF 50 and avoiding any sun. Is it possible that my skin could be "purging" the hyperpigmentation that is under the skin's surface (like it would with someone with acne)?
Thank you for all of your informative videos. Any info/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated : )
Would you kindly do a review on the advanced clinic retinol serum and cream and how much to use?
Hello Annie how are you doing?
Thanks for this knowledge& i want to know that currently i am using 2.5% cos de baha retinol from last 4 months and now from last 2 months my skin is now got used to it and does not feel irritation so, now i want to incorporate tretinoin in my skincare, so can i use retinol serum for 4 days and then tretinoin for 2 days alteranatively, so slowly increasing or manage days when my skin get to used to it so, please let me know is this a right method to incorporate tretinoin in my skincare
Thanks for the video! Can adapalene /differin be used on hands to help reduce wrinkles
It can. However, it won’t be as effective as Tretinoin. Are you able to access Tretinoin? ☺️
Hi Dr. Sugai! Can you talk about if topical retinoids are safe for people with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction? I have permenant dry eye disease after two rounds of Accutane, and it's been alleged that because vitamin A is so toxic to our meibomian glands, topical retinoids can in fact still migrate throughout the skin and in turn affect our meibomian glands even if we apply them away from our eyes. Is this true? I'd love to know as, I have acne still and Adapalene 0.1 really seemed to work well for me but I'm scared to use it as I don't want to cause anymore damage to my meibomian glands! :(
IMO if you survived Harvard you deserve to shamelessly flex as much as you want
Oh i worked at bidmc too, we must have just missed each other!
What do you think of the generic retin-a and why we can buy all of them o line EXCEPT the Teton-a 1% cream. 1% gel is available just not cream
Can you make a video about CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum please, thanks
Sure. Great idea
What’s a good for white heads , is any retinoids good ?
Can you explain why if I use any retinol, tretinoin etc. I get migraines?
Love watching your videos!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you dr. Love retinoid cream and my insurance covers every month with zero charge lucky me ☺️
That is amazing!👍👍🙌🙌🤙🤙
Wow that’s awesome! I love retinoids! ☺️🦋
Hello Dr. Sugai! Been on tretinoin for a couple of months now but I want to do CO2 resurfacing laser or microneedling for my deep pitted scars. Do I have to stop my tretinoin use for a couple of days/weeks before undergoing laser/microneedling?
I use Tretinoin regularly and am soon getting C02. My Dermatologist has asked me to stop using Tretinoin/Retinol for a week before. Let me know what results you get from the C02! ☺️
Can one use Neutrogena Hydro boost on the hole body too
Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 please also give this a feedback. Thank you 👍👍👍
i have some moles on my face (all checked by a dermatologist) but should i avoid them when applying retinoid creme?
How about hands and feet ?..if you get dry skin and wrinkles?
Is a retinol cream good for lupus
Can you add hyaluronic serumtothis
what's a good facial cleanser before applying retinoids
I use Vanicream.
I use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and love it! I recently just posted a video on my channel of my morning skincare routine. At that time, I was using a Paula’s Choice Cleanser but I much prefer the Cerave one now ☺️🦋
If i use tret for a few years, then stop for 2-3 years, will i start breaking out again once i re-start?
Hello Doctor. Can reproductive age women, not using contraceptive, use retinol serum/cream without having worrying its teratogenic effect in case she becomes pregnant. Thank you
How can you include tretinoin, azelaic acid and salicylic acid into skin care routine
I'm actually 19 but I'm having too much wrinkles and pigmentation can i use retinol on my face or not?
Another awesome video! How would you recommend incorporating a vitamin C serum if a patient doesn’t usually wash their face in the morning? My skin is pretty dry so I usually only wash once a day in the evening (then apply tretinoin) but I don’t know if I can put it on without washing my face first in the morning. Thank you!
Just use a warm washcloth in the am. Then apply Vit C to damp skin.
What do you recommend pregnant women use as a safe alternative to Tretinoin? What is the best skincare routine for that group?
I’ve seen other dermatologists on CZcams recommend azelaic acid.
Azelaic acid and bakuchiol. Dr. Sam Bunting has a serum with both plus niacinamide and vitamin C. Pricey but it contains most if the goodies.
Hello kristen how are you doing?
Still waiting for results from my olay 24 retinol. Weird that I had no irritation since I'm sensitive skinned. 😕 the retinol percentage must be low in that product.
Thank you Dr. Daniel
I’m new to Tretinoin and 0.05% is the only available percentage I can find (I work and reside in a country where option is limited). I’m not sure if I use it correctly but I experience very little peeling to no irritation considering this is my first time using Tretinoin.
I do make sure I moisturise my skin adequately, products like Cerave cream in tub, using just a pea size of Tretinoin for my whole face, sunscreen with no fragrance etc.. in between my every 3 days break using Tretinoin, I also use Retinol serum.
Since starting Tretinoin I see result in less than a month and though I’m only using it on my face, somehow the severe acne on my back has improved as well. I’m not sure what’s going on.. though I’m pleased with the result, I hope what I experience so far is normal (if that makes sense)?
Can I use a retinol for lupus hyperpigmentation?
Hello how are you?
Why do we need another layer of moisturiser ontop, if already putting it on beforehand?
It's called a retinol sandwich. Some find retinoids drying.
To buffer it so you can get used to the retinol. It helps if you have irritation until your skin can tolerate it better.
Right, but the first layer is the buffer. I've just heard from other dermatologists on here that applying moisturiser on top of Retinol enhances absorption and irritation because you are forming a barrier on the skin and pushing the retinol deeper/preventing the skin from breathing. You also run the risk of spreading the retinol into sensitive areas like your eyes
@@fruitpunch5260 Everyone has a different reaction to retinoids. Some folks find that second layer of moisturizer helpful. Some folks don't use the first layer of moisturizer either and some don't use moisturizer at all.
Dr. Sugai, what potency of Tretinoin do you use? I use 0.05% and have no irritation. When should you increase potency?
Mahalo from Kailua! 🌺
I use tret 0.05% primarily but I also tend to use a lot of retinol to review in the last year. I will probably alternate between tret and a retinoid on a daily basis. I also use AlphaRet a few times a week as well which I am told has tret 0.1% in it. I tend to tell ppl to not go stronger than 0.05 if you’re doing well with it as the stronger you go, the more irritation you will get with not much more benefits. Hope that helps. Great question and will add to list of qs to answer in another retinoid video
@@danielsugaimd That helps a lot! Thank you so much!
Ahhh we never get tired of talking and asking about Retinols. Thanks Dr Sugai for these vids 🙏 👍
Can you use a retinoid for bacne??
See his video on back acne.
Absolutely, retinoids are fantastic at treating acne, wherever it is
hello dr..i am a pilipina living in oklahoma i always watch your videos here and tiktok..i am 50 years old..can i ask some of your samples on your daily routine especially retinoid?..if its possible i would love to..if not its okay though..thanks have a good day
How awesome. Im from Oklahoma too!!!!
@@michelletidler6773 really??? thats cool😊
For his night routine, check out the video, treat blackheads with this dermatologist's nighttime skincare routine.
Hello Catherine how are you doing?
❤
Moisturising over the retinoid just spreads it around to delicate, sensitive areas which can cause dermatitis. Personal experience. Rather, apply moisturiser, then retinoid CAREULLY after
Moisturizing should be done after the retinoid has been applied and fully sunk into the skin (I wait 5-10 minutes). And sensitive areas can be safeguarded with a barrier cream or Aquaphor/Vaseline.
@@cv7958 I'm glad you found a routine that works for you.
Is there a possibility of purging again if you switch from one brand of retinol to another?
Yes from my experience
@@pajamamama5965 thank you 😊
@@tootsiezel you're welcome
Some doctors/research say using a moisturizer then retinoid doesn’t cause you to lose potency?
handsome doctor ;p
I have heard not to wash your face in morning but don’t we need to rinse off Tretinoin?
I haven’t heard that. I’ve used Tretinoin for years and always wash my face morning and night. You just want to use a gentle cleanser. I use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser. ☺️🦋
“Your neck shows your age” REAL TALK. I see people with clear baby face skin, but their neck looking like a turkey neck. Let’s not neglect that neck, people. ✌🏾
Hi doctor...
Can we use retinol whith vitamine C and depigmantant cream ??
Hope to have an Answer.
I had wrinkles doing my surgery residency too...lol
Someone here on CZcams says you should put a peptide serum before you use your Retinol at night. Is this the right thing to do?
It's probably fine but a lot of them just apply the retinoid.
@@db-gb5xi Thank you!!
