I have been practicing dermatology for over a decade and these are common retinoid mistakes I see in my clinic!
At the end, I will show how to correctly apply a retinoid (whether it’s prescription tretinoin or OTC retinol) and strategies to minimize the chances of getting skin irritation from our precious retinoid cream that can lead to improvement in fine lines/wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne.

Question, what about folks who can't tolerate retinoids of any type (adapalene up to tret)? I've heard of folks who immediately burn, turn red or even have their faces swell from applying any type.
I began my retinoid journey over a year ago, and my skin has improved 100%. Now I'm taking a break for my skin to recover its balance, but in a week I'll be back!
62 years old, started recently and can now pass for 45. Anything wrong with doing a cream that has retinol in it most days and then when I feel like I need a break will do just moisturizer? I have one favorite retinol cream and two favorite straight moisturizers; all three of which aren't expensive.
Is there any OTC retinol that actually helps wrinkles.
Omg my hubby is here again!
Can I use the tretinoin around the eye wrinkles? I use it nightly but would like to get closer to the eye wrinkles.
Can I use the tretinoin on the discoloration spots on my arms?
A month ago, I went down from 0.1% tretinoin to .05% because my skin had become sensitive and Im older and aging faster.I think I might be able to get through winter with this lower percentage and the past two winters I had to back off entirely for months.
Thank You for one more educational video.
I have followed your advice and started one month ago with CeraVe Resurfing Retinol Serum. I have had an earlier bad experience where I ended up with dry and very wrinkled skin. Back then, I started with Tretinoin and thought I followed the clinics order but after I've listened to You I realise that I used to much product.
These first weeks, my skin looks fine and now I wonder if You have made any videos of how to go forward – on the same level or up the stairs with higher concetration or another type of
retinoid? I would love to hear Your opinion and of Your experience. Looking forward to more videos. Best regards 🙏 , Anna from Sweden
anyone on here with sensitive skin using avene retinal? tret did not work well for me after 8 months of trying
Do I put on retinols everyday?
Is differin for dark spot treatment better. For dark spots than plain differin?
