    I'm crowding 70, and my skin needs all the help it can get! I go for the Retin A at 0.5 strength. It was very irritating to begin with, so I "sandwich it" between a soothing moisturising ceramide serum (Cerave Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Face with Vitamin B5 and Ceramides) then my non-irritating peptides (low concentration Niacinamide, Matryxil and Argiriline and a couple of other ones in an Inkey List serum) then a tiny pea of Retin A, then I top it off with a few drops of Jojoba oil (jojoba oil is the closest plant analog to human sebum). It's a tad greasy at first, but I'm a back sleeper, and by morning my skin is as smooth as a baby's butt One day a week I give my skin a break and only cleanse and put on the jojoba oil. One other day in the week, I use a mild enzymatic + lactic acid moisturising exfoliating mask. And I apply Korean sunscreen as though it were a religious duty. (I'm allergic to Avobenzone and not happy with the cosmetic properties of mineral-only sunscreens, so Korea for the win.) It's basically the same routine in the morning, but I substitute Dr. Brenner's Vitamin C, E & Ferrulic acid serum for the retinol and use Estrogen Estriol Cream (84 Servings, 3.5oz Pump) 175mg of USP Micronized Estriol as my moisturiser underneath my sunscreen. I also take Heliocare, skin ceramides, collagen powder, and hyaluronic acid supplements. I know people think this is overkill, but I'm between Fitzgerald Type I and II, so.... I also use a red light mask, the Nira Pro at home laser, and my long-time favorite, the NuFace micro current device. Most people guess that I'm in my mid fifties (I'm sure some of that is diplomacy) but a lot of it is that I do NOT look 70!

However, Tretinoin has been my friend thru the years...And as far as it goes with my skin, I look about 15 to 20 years younger than my real age. Sunscreen is the ticket....Always....I am a big advocate for Retin A.

    Around age 17, I started using a tinted moisturizer that contained spf and retinol. At the time, I didn’t know much about skincare in ingredients and just used it because it looked natural. Fast forward to age 25, I started using 0.1% tretinoin that my friend gave me. It took a year for my skin to acclimate to it but now at age almost 28, my skin is looking better than ever! I also use SPF religiously now. I still get the odd breakout but it’s nothing compared to what my skin was like before. During my early 20s I struggled with acne so much I tried EVERYTHING. I’m so glad I stuck with tretinoin.

    Just use Retin A. The gold standard. Been using it since I was 16 for acne. Later for anti-aging. It’s the only thing that really works the rest is marketing. Perhaps vitamin C helps too but yet to find a product containing it that provides anything remotely as effective as Retin A.

    I have zero wrinkles at fifty, and have had allergies to retinol in the past for severe acne. I am convinced all those oil glands have helped me have no wrinkles but im still getting breakouts before my period. I started using The Ordinary's new granulated retinoid with a product of theirs called The Barrier which locks in moisture and it absolutely is a game changer for lockinf in moisture and not letting my skin dry out which i had been trying to do for years. Looking forward to seeing the end results from long term use of retinol.

    The info in this video was very good. I'm wondering whether you have any info that you could share regarding tretinoin and hair growth?

    I was an acne patient from age 11 to 20. When I was 16/17 the doctor described benzoyl peroxide (15% FNA) and AcidAvit (Acid vitamines A and D). My skin looked awesome. Somehow AcidAviD was taken of the market. I don't know why, I only know it was incredible!

    In Germany even the Differin Gel equivalent is prescription only. To give it to you, the dermatologist has to diagnose you with acne, which in turn makes you a more "risky" patient to the insurance company which charge you an extra fee for years to come.... 😢

      There are some subscription services available now, which offer products with Retin-A and ship to Germany as well. Prices are reasonable too. You need to upload pictures and a dermatologist will look at them and create a product tailored to your needs.
