      I think she is implying that retinol purge is when people try to go in too hard and too fast on retinol instead of being cautious. If you are careful and start out at lower doses and start 2-3 times a week like she said, it should greatly decrease the chances of irritation which people call “purge.” Just my thoughts based off her comments and my (admittedly layman’s) knowledge of retinol.

    You are right. Purge is a myth. First time I tried to start with tretinoin, my skin really freaked out and I stopped for a year. Terrible purge, peeling...I used it too much.( 3 times a week but no moisturizer underneath) I started again recently. Very very carefully. Now I always put moisturizer first and then pea sized amount of tret 2 times a week( started with 1 time a week for 2 months) I'm so happy! No purge, skin is tolerating well. Those tips are VERY useful for beginners. Thank you! 💖

      You should definitely try both Tret and active like niacinamide on your skin, if you are less concerned about damaging your skin barrier. If you don't sting probably you have got your moisture barrier held strong, if you do then you might have to skip niacinamide. Lot of people actually make their skin irritable because of this over use of one strong Retinoids and another active ingredient like niacinamide.

    After my second pregnancy my beautiful perfect skin was completely destroyed by horrible pregnancy melasma. I tried vit C, AHAs, microdermabrasion, niacinamide etc it improved a bit. Then I went on to Retinols for 6 months and eventually to 0.1 percent Tretinoin. Now after 1.5 years my melasma, fine lines, dark circles and under eyes dryness almost gone. I am 44 and I look better than in my 30s. Now I use Retinoids all over my body 🤣

      There are Adapalene products thats also formulated with Benzoyl Peroxide but im one of those people who has bad reactions from BP so i was prescribed Tretinoin and a separate BP for spot treatment only. I was also prescribed antibacterial antibiotics that helped with pesky nodular acnes. It took about 3 months of use before the purging subsided for me and recently ive been recommended to use Glycolic Acid for exfoliation from the marks i had from purging, but even without the GA (because I ran out due to local lockdowns) the tretinoin alone worked great in minimizing dark marks for me. Excited for a purging video explanation from Dr. Idriss, because i absolutely believe it true, real, and not a myth for both of us and its a bit conflicting from what i experienced and what other dermatologists say, my dermatologist included.

    My dermatologist who I've known for 40 years has always promoted Retin A. He has said everything you have said EXCEPT use only the Retin A at night and do not use any other products with it, including a moisturizer. I have always used Retin A (Micro cream 0,05 in my case) this way. Your opinion on not combining with other products especially moisturizer? Additionally, the two moisturizers you like are in containers that you must dip your fingers in. Easily to contaminate. Kind regards.
