    • @RubinaSkincare
      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety

      The short answer is Yes. The long answer is that it depends on how much sunlight enters your home as UVB enters via glass too. Curtains need to be super thick to cut out UVB. You could use a moisturiser with spf though- if you are going to be indoors strictly.

    • @RubinaSkincare
      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Subhechha, I have not yet finished reviewing the kojic acid and arbutin combination. That said I beleive that alpha arubutin is such a great ingredient / active that it really does not need any support from another ingredient to be formulated with it. So if you are introducing alpha arbutin to your skincare my suggestion is to go for pure alpha arbutin. You can keep it as part of your skincare long term. its a great active...i love it.

I have been using tretnoin 0.5 percent for the past 4months once a week and for the last month i have been using 2days in a week.... I would like to include minimalist retinol. So can you please tell me how should i incorporate in my routine can I stop using tretnoin and start using this? Please reply 🙏🏻

    • @RubinaSkincare
      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety

      I am glad you like the video... I am quite surprised so many people found it useful. I thought it was too dense with information but I just couldnt get myself to make a surface level video about a retinoid. This is my longest video!
      Your question is very valid. I dont have a straight up answer so I will share my opinion here. Tretinoin is well researched for transforming skin while HPR is like a new kid on the block- its good, fancy and shiny but it just does not have the research to back it up on the results YET. So if you are using the 0.5% my suggestion would be to stick to it in the long term.
      Since you already have bought this retinoid 2% give it a go and see how your skin responds. When i used the retinoid from The ORdinary I didnt find much remarkable difference better than 0.5%. So I switched back to 0.5% after finishing the TO retinoid bottle. But I also find using the 0.5% more affordable as it stretches more and also more convenient. So the decision to switch back was based on reasons other than performance.
      I am using the minimalist now and will post a review in a few months. Please do share how it goes with you if you use it :)
      Thank you for stopping by!

      Oats moisturiser is a product that the minimalsit made in a hurry to catch the bus on moisturisers- it pills over actives, under sunscreens. I would expect a much much better product considering the company has the a business of manufacturing actives and they encourage their customers to use ALL The actives possible. kisinae test nahin kiyaa kee moisturiser kaisae use karengae over thier actives. silly.

      I am so glad you found this video useful. It was so long but I could nto get myself to make a short, surface-level information video on retinoid given how one has to use them responsibly.
      Yes you can use Niacinamide and alpha arbutin with this Granactive retinoid. Give it 5 min gap. But please use alpha arbutin +HA combination. I am not sure of kojic acid and ALpha arbutin formulation YET (its on my review list but some months away)! So at this point I would not advise combining that with retinoid since i have not tried it myself...and if you do try it please share your experience.

    • @RubinaSkincare
      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety +1

      Tabish as a long term strategy I would suggest 0.025% for a year..then 0.5%. Since tretinoin has data backing on its capability to transform skin.
      the HPR is still new...but you could definitely use it in between for a few months and see how your skin responds. It does not irritate the skin as much as the retin A does.

    • @RubinaSkincare
      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety +1

      Sushmita, you have to go through the entire retinoid playlist before you start any retinoid. The skin will go through a retinization process and. you have to plan for it and be patient. If you over irritate it there will be redness and inflammation.
      retinoid in the pm
      vitc am
      keep your moisturiser simple and make it has no other retinoid in it or vit c.
      sunscreen is good.
      when you are on retinoids the sunscreen will tend to burn a little especially when your skin is going through the retinization process. the barrier is disturbed so expect that...

    I was using neutrogena from 2012..until I could
    not afford it till last year june.
    I have made my own oil based DIY retino serum.. it just my formula which feels very heavy on the skin during night 3 times a week..no preservative at all..only a small amount on face does work.. and it seems to work almost comparable to neutrogena.
    But when I miss even once out of 3 application in a week..my skin become dry and patchy..
    Its seems no amount of moisturizer can give a better texture to my skin than ratinol and I dont use retinol during day..

I'm interested in The Minimalist one too, which one is better? Also one more question, I stay indoors ( Occasionally go to terrace for hardly 5-10 mins, I avoid going out in sun) so do I need to apply sunscreen? Especially after start using retinoids? I usually use st.botanica vit C sunscreen. So should I incorporate vit C serum as well?

      @RubinaSkincare  Před 3 lety

      If your house has big windows with a lot of natural light coming in and the curtains are lgith then its absolutely important you use sunscreen indoors. otherwise you dont need to.
      Neck lines at your age might just bethe way it runs in your family. Its completely natural to have these. Is it just wrinkles you are talking about or darkness?
      Eyes start using a good eye cream- reequill may be. I honestly feel its important to use eye creams as moisturisers can be irritating at times.

    Hey , I wanted to ask that I’ve dealt w acne scars and pigmentation after 5 years of acne (13-17). I’m currently at a point where my skin is doing amazing as what my dermatologist has said. But I’ve wanted to try retinoid for a while now for anti ageing since I’ve started my 20’s. I currently use a glycolic acid face wash followed by niacinamide, hyarulonic acid and aloe Vera with an occasional AHA BHA peel once a week. I’ve used Benzol peroxide for spot treatments as well. Do you think I fit the criteria to start retinoid ? And if so what brand would you suggest?

    • @RubinaSkincare

      Hi gayatri, rerinoids are a great choice especially for acne scars n anti aging. Tretinoic is backed with science n is a benchmark in anti aging. HPR is a new entrant. Given this i would recommend tretinoic. Start with 0.025...n once you hit 25 move to 0.5. DONT forget the SUNSCREEN: ) and do see my other vid on retinoids for starting the schedule
