I have used Tretinion around my eyes, face, neck, decollete, arms and legs for 17 years. I use the .025 strength. No side affects. I am 67 years old and most people think I am in my 50's. Remember, I have been using nightly for 17 years. Now after so many years, I do skip some nights but I try not to. Everyone is amazed at my skin. I can go without makeup and look great. I have no wrinkles or sun spots. I also do not go out in the sun. I prefer gorgeous, tight skin to the damage caused by the sun.
That’s so amazing I think I’ll just stick to 0.025% because 1% which I have been using causes constant flakey skin- what’s the point of nice skin if I can’t look presentable lol
This month I'm coming up to 17 months on Tret 0.05% and 3 months on Adipeau. At about 12 months I started applying the Tret on damp skin for deeper penetration. Fortunately recently on your channel Ivan (Adipeau) stated that the deeper penetration of Tret could damage fat cells. Full stop on the Tret on damp skin for me. I appreciate the subjects approached on your channel. Very helpful. Thank you.
Hi there:). Have just found your channel and am really enjoying it. I started dermatica about 8 months ago and its the best thing I have done! I get mine with 3 monthly hydroquinone then a break from it for a few months as I had quite severe melasma with large brown patches over my face. This has now almost completely gone and I couldnt be happier. It looked like I had goggles on! Lol. Will definately be using the tret for the foreseeable future. X
I started with curology last November I believe and initially they had me on a .0005 and I was pretty disappointed because it's such a low dose but over time, I've increased and am now at a 0.05. I also switched from curology to agency because curology is more geared towards youthful skin and acne whereas agency is more for aging skin and I am 41. I love their compounds and I really appreciate their slow approach because it's kept me from having any major issues that others have experienced. I still do all of my skin care first before applying my tretinoin because it's been proven that it works just as well as if you apply it before anything else and it helps prevent dryness and irritation. I definitely see a noticeable difference in my skin from when I started which is very exciting! I believe the trifecta for anti-aging is sunscreen, retinoids and antioxidants in that order. As long as you're protecting your skin from sun damage, using a retinoid of any kind your skin can tolerate and incorporating antioxidants into your routine which help boost the effectiveness of your sunscreen, everything else is secondary. I enjoy my multi-step skincare routine so I won't be giving up anything anytime soon haha, but if I had to pick three things, those would be the ones for me ❤️
I’ve tried a few subscription retinoids, I started with Dermatica but wasn’t keen on the formulation, Skin and Me, which I liked, then And Begin, this was my favourite. In January I decided to go direct to an online prescriber, I now have been using the Obagi tretinoin 0.025% since mid January and the results are incredible. This tube cost £80 and I still have about another week or two left so I’d say I will get 10-12 weeks use, this includes treating my neck and the backs of my hands. I use La Roche posay citaplast as my moisturiser. I am 50 next year and retin A is a must for me, my routine is super simple now, gentle cleanser, Retinol, moisturiser and a SPF50 for the day. Just find the one that works for you.
Great video thank you! I also have a flaking chin with my Tret. I may do what you do around the eyes. I did start to use it every night after about 6 weeks but had to go back to every other day as I was flaking and so so dry. So now I do every second day again. This was brilliant thank you.
Glad you found it helpful. I'm taking a break from tret just now but I interviewed a derm who recommended I try stepping down to a 0.025 or 0.02 strength and just use it a few times a week so that's always an option for you too.
You are looking wonderful as always my birthday twin 😉💕 I've had no issues with it so far in my first month. So glad I took your advice and started using it. I'm really pleased. You really gave me the confidence to use this company so a massive thank you to you 😘 I notice a difference round your eyes and your jawline. We are definitely going to be fabulous and 50 next February and March 🎊🎉☘️XXX
Hello! It’s great to hear the tret is going well for you!! It really is a game-changer. At this rate by the time our birthdays come around we’ll be able to claim we’re 40! 😁 xx
I sadly didn’t have a good experience with this & found that the formulation really compromised my skin barrier & the in house dermatologists didn’t offer any advice other than, see a dermatologist! I ended my subscription as I found them unsupportive.
Agree 100%. Left my face redder than when I had rosacea and thinned out my upper dermis layer SOOO much that my veins are fully visible especially o my temples, above my eyebrows ( where the skin became thick and horn.like..I looked like a Neanderthal female) and I now have 3 blue green snake like THICK prominent veins on either side of my face starting at my temple and ending just above my outer eye corner
I've used tretinoin for about 10 years. I mix it with a bit of plain moisturiser (dermaveen). I use it maybe once or twice a week. I'm 41 and get lots of compliments on my skin. I wear sunscreen, I play golf with a very big hat and apply sunscreen usually every hour when I play. I feel like it's kept my fine lines at bay and pretty clear. Being Vietnamese do have to be mindful with freckles and and dark spots. So although tretinoin is great it doesn't work for everyone. So for me, it hasn't made me freckles disappear and one melanoma spot I have, but in saying that I feel like my freckles haven't increased. Looks about the same. I get my tretinoin from Bali! So any Australians out there, I get it from the Made Ita clinic.
I actually think, judging solely on the basis of the photos, that there has been hardly any difference. You had thick good skin to begin with . Mine literally tears when I’ve been using retinol for just 2 months. Tretinoin would likely damage it maybe irreversibly. Congrats on your genes!
Hey, you can use moisturiser with Tret but you should never mix it. It can cause uneven distribution and irritation on the patches. Try a sandwich technique instead. So a layer of moisturiser, let it set in then Tretinoin.
Hi there! I started using Curology 0.01% a year and a half ago. My skin was constantly flaking. My skin adapted and I've loved the results ever since. I would not recommend that everyone try to put Tret on the neck area. I've had 4 occasions where getting even the smallest amount on my neck caused me to lose a night's sleep because of the irritation. Just this month I switched to Agency with their Dark Spot Formula. I'm now on 0.019% Tret and I have trained myself to apply all serums and moisturizers to my neck FIRST! Then I apply the Tret (Pea-sized amount) to my face - forehead, temples, and cheek area, followed by my serums and moisturizer. If anyone has ever experienced that neck irritation they know how uncomfortable it is- Hell's Itch for sure! I've learned not to scratch at the first sign of an itch, apply Ivarest to the area immediately, and leave it alone. Thanks for this.
That’s good advice re the next Loretto, thank you. I’m using only a very small quantity of tret and built up strength over time but you’re right to flag the neck can be more sensitive. Ouch!
Iv just seen your lipstick vidio iv been doing the long lasting lipstick trial as well ready for my Christmas holiday to disneyworld iv just noticed that's where you went as well. My best lasting lippy is mad factor lipfinity that stuff last until you remove it, it can dry lips out a bit but as long as you regularly apply the gel its fine. Unfortunately none of the new ones iv bought has beat it yet x
Do Dermatica automatically send a higher percentage of tretinoin when you have started on a very low 0.015% or do I request it when I feel my skin is tolerating the current strength ?...thx I appreciate your progress pics your skin looks fantastic !
Thank you! Yes, they do automatically up the strength. From memory, when I first ordered they sent me a treatment program letting me know which strengths they would send, building up to 0.05.
Yes, availability depends on prescribing regulations in individual countries. You may be able to source tretinoin from a doctor or dermatologist though.

I live in Germany and saw on the dermatica website that they now deliver to the eu from Northern Ireland as NI is still in the single market. So i placed an order, fingers crossed that my parcel goes through German customs with no issues!
It thickens your skin from what my dermatologist has told me. He says it can be amazing. Do you put it on your eyelids or the space between your eye eyebrow and the eyesocket?. I am in California USA
Hello! California is one of my favorite parts of the world! I just apply a very small amount of tret under my brow so that it does not work it’s way down into my eyes. The recommendation is to avoid applying tret close to your eyes.
It’s true, it makes a difference when you use the services of a company that increases the dose over time. I’m using Curology and I’m 62 and I love what it’s doing for my skin. Older skins benefit faster with this than younger skins.
As soon as I started vidio I could see a difference in your skin its working great for you, how far do you take it underneath your eyes? Iv just started 3rd month just gone up to the 0.5 last night so in about 10 days I'm expecting the irration to hit again, I nearly stopped the 1st month as my face actually felt sun burnt but the girl that does my eyebrows and occasion facial checked my skin and said it looked fine so I persevered. I can't see much difference yet but others can so thats good. I'm giving it 6 months then if I see a good difference I'll continue with it. Great vidio thank you x
Thanks Ann. You should certainly see a difference after six months. It's a good idea to take pictures along the way as well to track your progression. I take the tretinoin quite far up my lower eye area but not close enough that there's a chance of it getting into my eye - if that makes sense!
I started to get these strange welts very similar to hives. The dermatologist that I then saw in London suggested I strip back my routine no actives for at least 3/6 months to reset and now my skin is great, but I’ve got rosacea (mild flushing type) and very fair skin so retinol and vit c may not be a good choice for me. I was just disappointed that Dermatica with all the photos etc submitted didn’t help so I just think it’s useful to warn people about that.
Did you start with an over the counter retinol? I would be a beginner. Is there an over the counter you would recommend and work my way up to tretinoin? Thank you for your channel.
Yes, I started with a retinal (retinaldehyde) which is gentle and effective - I just needed to step it up as I near 50. Geek and Gorgeous do a good and low cost retinal. I also really like Medik8 retinals.
Hi from California I found your Chanel and I am loving it , there is a plastic surgeon here in San Diego California who has developed a new face left technique that's called Vertical Restoration. Can you try to find out more about it and inform us please 🙏 love to hear back from you.
I tried the agency’ Tret w niacin ect .009 % seemed okay.. then .015 % I noticed it was causing rosacea .. I tried a very mild retinol but no good .. i think my skin barrier was injured.. so now just organic oils and maybe try again Super mild .. at some point but not on my cheeks! My skin is fine as long as I don’t irritate it

I’m closer to the camera in one, yes. Doesn’t change my skin texture. Lighting is almost impossible to replicate in non-studio conditions. That’s a constant struggle!
I use 0.025 at the moment, but I want to start using it from dermatica. Would they let me choose to go straight to 0.05 if I'm already used to the lower strengths? Don't want to start low again so it's putting me off using dermatica. Also I already use niacicinamide seperately. Do they do a formula with nicicimide?
It's something you'd need to pick up with Dermatica as there's no set schedule for increasing strength - it depends on how your skin is responding - and you may not always need to go up in strength to maintain the benefits.
Yes, absolutely. I plan on sticking with the 0.05 for the foreseeable because it's strong enough to make a difference to my skin but I'm also tolerating it well. If you feel your skin could benefit from stepping up another level there's no reason why you couldn't try that and just see how you go.
I’ve been using .o25 for several years. I only used it every other day to avoid sensitivity and peeling from over drying. It still improved my skin greatly and I’ve stuck with the e/o day. I asked derm about increasing strength and she said less is more. Stronger isn’t better and said I should stick with what I’m using. I must say, I’m not sure my skin could improve much more in terms of wrinkles and trentinoin doesn’t seem to help the sagging and bagging which is my real issue now.
@@kathleen9456 Have you watched my interview with the founder of Adipeau skincare? He has a cream designed to improve volume by restoring facial fat. I’m getting quite a lot of positive feedback from viewers who are using it.
It’s interesting you can see it because this is an older review and I have since talked a lot about the pros and cons of tret and have stepped down to retinal again because I felt my skin wasn’t keeping up. No offense taken!
I have used Tretinion around my eyes, face, neck, decollete, arms and legs for 17 years. I use the .025 strength. No side affects. I am 67 years old and most people think I am in my 50's.

@@thehonestchannel would using so much tret affect pregnant in the future? I’m worried about having it in my blood stream
@@cocochanel773 It’s recommended not to use it during pregnancy just to be on the safe side.
That’s so amazing I think I’ll just stick to 0.025% because 1% which I have been using causes constant flakey skin- what’s the point of nice skin if I can’t look presentable lol

It seems that the "Before " picture is a close up vs the "After".

Hi, does tretinoin 0.1% remove fine lines on forehead?😢
Can we take it in pill form to get effect even on body skin? And if yes, where can we find them and how will we get them?
Tretinoin is a prescription medication in most countries so you would need to talk to a doctor:
I use 0.025 at the moment, but I want to start using it from dermatica. Would they let me choose to go straight to 0.05 if I'm already used to the lower strengths? Don't want to start low again so it's putting me off using dermatica. Also I already use niacicinamide seperately. Do they do a formula with nicicimide?
I think niacinamide is part of all their tretinoin-based products but you would be best to ask them directly about formulations and strength.
It looks like you have more capllaries on the cheek, on the now photo...do you see it too?
Yes, possibly. I’m a little more prone to that as I age so it’s hard to tell what’s causing it
@@thehonestchannel Tretinoin can exacerbate capillaries, its one of the reasons I dont use it...
@@caty2ful I’ll keep an eye on it - thanks. Seems to have subsided again.
What are the ingredients in the Dermatica Tretinoin? Is it just niacinamide?
Hi. Niacinamide is the other active ingredient. You'll find the full list here incidecoder.com/products/dermatica-tretinoin-0-025
I’m still on 0.5 strength after 7 months when does it go up in strength?
It's something you'd need to pick up with Dermatica as there's no set schedule for increasing strength - it depends on how your skin is responding - and you may not always need to go up in strength to maintain the benefits.
Do you put it around your eye area?
Most experts say to avoid putting retinoids near the eye.
Can we use 0.1 tretinion after long use 0.05 ?
Yes, absolutely. I plan on sticking with the 0.05 for the foreseeable because it's strong enough to make a difference to my skin but I'm also tolerating it well. If you feel your skin could benefit from stepping up another level there's no reason why you couldn't try that and just see how you go.

I asked derm about increasing strength and she said less is more. Stronger isn’t better and said I should stick with what I’m using. I must say, I’m not sure my skin could improve much more in terms of wrinkles and trentinoin doesn’t seem to help the sagging and bagging which is my real issue now.
@@kathleen9456 Have you watched my interview with the founder of Adipeau skincare? He has a cream designed to improve volume by restoring facial fat. I’m getting quite a lot of positive feedback from viewers who are using it.
No offense, but your skin looked better BEFORE!
It’s interesting you can see it because this is an older review and I have since talked a lot about the pros and cons of tret and have stepped down to retinal again because I felt my skin wasn’t keeping up. No offense taken!
Looks the same just more irritated.
Another disappointed person from Ireland.
Very frustrating ☹️
You’re very beautiful 😍
Thank you!!
I would never use Dermatica. This comapny cannot be trusted.
Why?
