  • Oh fuggg, a spice boy.

  • I have fine lines under my eyes, would this be safe to use under the eye area? And what dosage should I get, like %0.05 or %0.025? I'd appreciate if you replied or sent me a message!

  • Thank you so much for making this video! Very informative and you are an eye candy! haha your skin looks great. I just started using it today. I was wondering if we can use it on other parts of the body? like the neck or the hands?

  • Hi Michael. I really enjoy your videos. I have been on and off from Retin-A since I was 17 so its been almost ten years. I love this stuff! I have also used it with Obagi Nuderm to enhance and I only do this to keep my skin in tip top shape. I just hated the peeling but this time around I have had no extreme dryness or peeling. It could be that I am not using it with Obagi. Who knows. Anyways...I wanted to ask you if you can do a follow up video to this if you are still on tretinoin, Thanks

  • hi sweet, im on day 3 my face is burning im scared, my skin is flaking in different patches... im scared it will scar...

  • @jessop121 This is a pretty common reaction. You may want to ask your dermatologist, but what I would do is just take a day off and then use it again the next day...just take it slow when your skin is getting used to it :)

  • @TheSublimeAgent thank you,I will try using it alternate days im still dry burning flaking :(  btw you look wow

  • ps thanks for showin us how ur retin a tube looks lol tht was helpful!

  • do u only apply it on affected areas or all over ur face?

  • i cant help but ask, your teeth are so white ..how?

  • Is telomorase that stuff Naomi Campbell uses?

  • I am planning to use retin a in 0.1% for the keratosis pilaris on my legs.

    How long did it take for the retin a to get rid of your kp and how often did you use it?

    Did it cause flaking and peeling or did the kp just disappear with no side effects?

    Any other tips for kp sufferers!??

    Thanks x

  • What is the diferent between 0.01, 0.05 and 0.025%?

  • My last question is can you recommend a good but not too expensive facial sunscreen which can be worn without needing makeup to disguise it. My son needs some and he has acne and I am looking for a new one that I could wear with no make up, as it is supposed to be topped up every two hours or so it is virtually impossible to do if you wear makeup as you would need to be cleaning etc too often. Keep up the good work. Very interesting stuff.

  • Sorry again finger keeps slipping. So I use vit C generously. As you say your Dr recommends moisturiser I am keen to learn more. Does the moisturiser weaken the effects of the tret ? Yes know what you mean about hiding away. Sometimes my face looks awful with flaking it is so embarrassing .

  • Sorry my dermatologist tells me not to apply moisturiser although I can and do use the vitamin C serum (which seems like contradictory advice as the vit c moisturises) this said I realise the positive effects of vit c and am generousc

  • Hi, I really like your videos especially this one. I like the scientific explanation. Could you recommend where I could read up on tretinoin please? I am on week 10 of the Obagi system. Do you know it? Dr Obagi's theory is thy omitting moisturiser the skin will find it's own balance. My dermatologist wants

  • DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TIPS ON STARTING RETIN A FOR SENSITIVE SKIN??? i have been using every 3-4 times due to redness and peeling. any other tips??

  • @tiredtill2010 When did you start using this product? Your skin will get used to the strength of the Retin-A. If it does get too irritation, stop using it for a few days and then start again.

  • My dermatologist just prescribe me this. I have to pay for it, but if its going to clear my acne, I'm all for it. Ive been suffering with acne for years and since I have medicaid, none of the dermatologist I've been to never offered me anything other than antibiotics or other types of creams or ointments that don't work. Well, finally a dermatology resident prescribe it to me. I'm so glad she finally listened to me and offered me tretinoin . I'm excited to start tretinoin and I hope it works.

  • Wow! You have such beautiful skin. Amazing!

    :-))

  • I love tretinoin. I recently moved from .04 Retin-A Micro pump to .1. Before I moved up, I was still using medicated washes containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which were contributing to my extreme flakyness/dryness. I conditioned myself to believe that I NEEDED those two medications to have clear skin. I thew all those products away and stuck with Neutrogenas Extra Gentle Cleanser (ph balanced, feels more like lotion lol) and I no longer get flakes or dryness.

  • Any idea why this is happening?? The pore size is really the most depressing... I thought retin a was supposed to shrink pore size??? My dermatologist prescribed it for me to help reduce the only visible pores I had-which were on my nose...anyway...any advice TheSublimeAgent??

  • I've been using .025 tretinoin for a little over 3 full months.I am a 23 year old male, and at first the results were seriously awesome..my skin never looked better to be honest...fine lines around eyes greatly reduced, skin tone and texture looked great, but then after about the 2nd month of use my skin started to take a turn for the worse. It's been increasing my pore size..I used to have no visible pores on my cheeks..also my skin tone has worsened some. Even an acne scar became visible....

  • you look plastic its kind of gross

  • I use products from here osmosisskincare com for last maybe 8 months. Love it.

  • Is there anywhere I can get it without prescription? We have to get a prescription in my country.

  • I have just received my retin and am going to start using it after Christmas. I found your video to be really helpful, thank you :) By the way, your skin is amazing ♥

  • how do you get a prescription? I don't need it...but I want it .. is there a way I could convince my doctor to prescribe it to me?

  • Sublime Agent, question: Do you put Retin-A on and leave it on or rinse it off after application?

  • Do you know if Dr.s in Canada can prescribe this

  • @123jessy45 Yes! Although it's not covered and costs about $25 per tube (for 0.1%) you should do some more research into it, ask your doctor about it and if you can put up with flaking and dryness for a couple weeks, your skin will look amazing within a couple months! :)

  • I've always been hesitant to use Retin-A for fear of getting scaly, flaky skin as a side effect. In your experience, how long did you have to suffer through this side effect before it cleared up and could go out in public with confidence? Thank you.

  • as a scientist i've always wondered how tretinoin works, thanks for the info :) the doctor tells me to use only a pea sized amount to cover my entire face, how is that even possible?

  • @parkerandrecreation My derm said a pea size amount for each section of your face. Ex: Pea size for forehead, pea size for cheek, pea size for other cheek, pea size for chin. This works for me.

  • ETC :)

  • For a guy you have some flawless skin. Wow, I'm jealous.

  • Beautiful skin!

  • will the skin peeling ever stop?

  • Really nice video

  • Comment removed

  • you are beautiful :)

  • I am a pharmacist and I feel like Im in school again listening to this. Great review!

  • eewww yuck..very unnatural looking, like a clone robot or something

  • Do you buy this stuff online? At what strenght?

    PS. When I click on pause you look like an hugo boss perfume add. ;-)

  • cheap n works.

  • i know this guy named herman who is obsessed with you and wants to rim you. just thought you should know

  • @illwill916 tehe

  • hello, love your video.

    and i been researching about the retin A for a while.. yours was very healpful

    but i was just wondering, when u talk about the life extent of the cell , isnt that a way for cancer? cancer is basically the production of to much cells n some other that just dont die..

    if u see the link n wat i mean..

    thanks alot! ur skin looks great! :)

  • Hi dear, I guess that Retin-A is not an exfolliant. xoxo

  • HAVE U USED OBAGI HYDROQUONINE SERUM.???

    review

  • Question: If you start to use it, you need to use it like 3 weeks, till your skin gets used to it. Should i better start then with low %, like 0,03 and then move to 05? How regulary should i use it? Every other day and then after a week every day? Did you use any cosmetic products or harsh cleansers durring the time? I want to give it a try :)

  • Oh my gawd I love you! :o) lol

  • Is it even worth using retin A if you have a very active outdoor lifestyle? I own a tube of retin A, but feel like using it would be a waste because I'm always outside hiking, running, swimming, etc. I wear sunscreen, but it sweats off, and so I feel like by using retin A I am just setting myself up for deeper sun damage than if I was using it, you know? Help me TheSublimeAgent!!!!

  • @IntoBlackHouse You make a good point. If you arent able to protect yourself from the sun and you are outdoors a LOT, it probably isnt the best product for you...at least until later in life :)

  • @TheSublimeAgent Thanks for the quick feedback!! But I really want to use a powerful antioxidant, since retin A now seems like a bad idea. Is vitamin C a better alternative for an active lifestyle? Im trying to make my own serum using ascorbyl palmitate (a fat/water soluble form of vitamin C), but am not sure if that too has exfoliating properties that would make me more suseptable to sun damage. Do you know?

  • @IntoBlackHouse No, NO, NO! My Derm told me today only use it at night. Not in the day. It's REALLY BAD to use Retin- A on you're face in sunlight. Just thought I'd help you. ;)

  • @Toriceleb1051 exactly! im a skin therapist and only vitamin C should be used during the day, vitamin A & E re your night time serums.

  • @IntoBlackHouse Use a mineral sunblock (in powder form) vs a creamy sunscreen if you are worried about sun damage. Minerals don't sweat off because they're rocks... and rocks don't dissolve in water or oil, so it will stay put. What exactly are you using the Retin-A for? If it's just an exfoliant, try using glycolic. Start with 8% and slowly introduce a higher concentration, up to about 15%. Hope this helps.

  • Best product for acne, definitley recommend it

  • You look like a proper gay boy.

  • I'm currently using tretinoin on my face to treat acne and freckles that have clumped together. I will definitely give it a try with the Keratosis pilaris on my arms, thanks!

  • How often do you use your Retin A? I heard if you use it too much, the over exfoliation can compromise your skin's inner structure and actually cause sagging. Do you think using .05 once a week is too little? I have porcelain thin skin and I don't want to do more harm than good. ^_^ Oh, have you also tried Copper Peptides? Thanks so much for your video as well! I like to hear more scientific explanations versus 'fluff talk' about the product or watered down explanations.

  • I just love you. No really. This was the answer I was searching for!

  • being human is too much work!

  • Haaaay, I looked for pure cod liver oil but all of the products I looked at didn't contain a very high amount of Vitamin A or Retinoic acid (considering they were all in tablet form). So I bought a Mens Multi-Vitamin instead. Each tablet contains 4000 IU of vitamin A, Retinoic Acid, Beta Carotine along with a long list of other vitamins and minerals. I'm 19 and take two of these a day and my skin has cleared up and looks so healthy... is it dangerous to take 8000 IU of Vitamin A per day?

  • hey u have beautiful eyes, i just want to know if it's your real eyes or you wear eye contact, and if you wear contact, i want to know wat is called like exactly called cause i want to get same one you have, please tell me soon as possible! thank you love ur videos

  • Thanks for the information. I just subscribed. BTW you are gorgeous!

  • @feistygurly Thank you so much!! :D Welcome to my channel :)

  • THIS IS DEF THE BEST PRODUCT EVER CREATED BY HUMAN KIND! IT CLEARED UP MY WHITEHEADS IN 2 DAYS AND NOW I NEVER BREAKOUT AND MY ACNE DISCOLORATIONS WERE CLEARED AND I HAVE NO WRINKLES AND MY SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL AND GLOWING! I USE RETIN A MICRO .1 PERCENT AND I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE SKIN AND IT DOESNT IRRITATE ME TOO BAD.. IT DOES CAUSE SOME DRYNESS AROUND MY CHIN BUT THIS IS TOTALLY GONE WHEN I APPLY NEUTROGENA SENSITIVE SKIN MOISTURIZER!

  • Excellent video. Thank you. You sold me. I'm 40 and I am definitely getting this! I will get the gel!!!! Thanks! :)

  • Awesome pics. Great size. Looking thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

  • @ggg4uuu teen misc bb dot com? lol

  • Well atralin is in my opinion the worst retinoid! It clogs pores and makes your skin more oily and I've tried it! Im using retin a micro .1% and i used too get whiteheads and blackheads everyday and now i have smooth glowing beautiful skin and my acne marks have faded drastically. My skin no longer is oily like before and I've seen the best results. RETIN-A is the only thing proven too reverse the clock and prevent acne and sundamage so its basically the best skincare product!

  • I used tretinoin cream .01%. I also used a gel.

    Turns out with the gel - my skin was peeling and flaking like you said.

    With the cream! my skin never looked better!! :)

    I would reccomend the cream to anyone worried about flaking and sensitivity.

  • Very informative better than my pharmacist. I started to use this Retin A today RX from my dr to treat acne. The information you just gave for wrinkles is a big plus for me. Thanks.

  • Hey, this was super informative and I really enjoyed your explanations of the mechanisms of action.

    Your skin is amazing! How old are you? (if you don't mind me asking)

  • where do u guys get this cream or lotion? could you tell me the name pls...perhaps i can get it on-line..hmmmm i mean the affordable brand pls..hahhaha..i dont have much money -((

  • does tretinoin can remove dark spots from acne?

  • does tretinoin can remove dark spots from acne?

  • I'm dizzy. Buy a tripod!

  • Wow, you're quite well-informed for a lay-person and you seem to enjoy the technical details. You should consider med school + dermatology.

  • HOLY FUCK DOOOD! ur skin is amazing

  • @happyinmyforties That's a crock! It's use is moderated with woman who are pregnant and with ANY medication, always heed the side-effects.

  • hi..how often do you use retin a?

  • if you have comedonal acne do NOT use a moisturizer with this!! it will cause comedones to appear and persist. Saw a dermatologist for the first time on tuesday and he prescribed me .25 tretinoin and told me to only use a gentle cleanser.

  • Can you recommend a Retin A product that does not require a perscription and isn't $1500? :) I'm 38 and want to start a Retin A regime.

  • @himaureen You should try looking online and picking up a generic version starting with a lowe dosage. My 2 cents worth

  • Michael...can you tell me if it's better to use at night? Also, I really love your chanel)) you're the only guru whom I not only watch but to listen very carefully)) (sorry my poor english) Indira

  • hi there, those red bumps you were talking about. i have never had them upto now. they have only just appeared after using retin for about 2 weeks.can u give me some advise??? thank you

  • First off you have gorgeous eyes. Secondly your skin is incredible. My god. What do you do to your skin to make it look so amazing? I must know!!! Do you just use tretinoin? Or what else do you use? Is your skin the result of tretinoin? Please let me know lol!!!!!

  • God you are all teeth, get those damn chomps filed down :)

  • What are some products that have the ingredients you mentioned?

  • God your skin is so beautiful!

  • how'd you get your teeth so white

  • SKIN IS TOO GOOD FOR A GUY LOL

    YOURE COOL THOUGH MAN

  • Where do you purchase your product or do you need a prescription?

  • Where have you been all my Youtube life?! Glad I found this channel. Also, if you have experience with Alpha Hydrox, what would you say is the difference b/w retin-a and AH?

  • heyyy you! Really great video as always.. When should you start using anti wrinkle stuff? Cause I already use sunscreen etc but no anti aging, I see kind of fine lines coming up but I'm pretty young so what age wouldyou reccomend?

    Keep up the good work, amazing! And you have so nice teeth!

  • Hi Michael! Someone also asked below, but there was o answer, so I'll ask again, if you dont mind:): can it be used aroudnd the eye area? Being the area that normally shows signs of aging faster? Have YOU used it around your eyes? Thanks! Love your channel! xxx

  • I've been using tretinoin for about a year and a half to get rid of acne bit have also been struggling with keratosis pilaris for years and even bought cream from my dermatologist to get rid of it but nothing worked so I can't wait to try tretionoin now...your video was awesome!

  • Did you notice when you used the retin-A if you saw your pores looking like craters and what looks like scars (ice picks). Recommend any good moisturizer that helps with redness and acne, while on Atralin?

  • I have been using Atralin for 2 week, and my face looks like shit, I have more pimples and I feel like I a seeing holes too, which I did not have. My face is peeling, and it's inflamed from the acne, so it looks red. I tried putting foundation to cover it, big mistake....all my skin was peeling and all the foundation just peeled off.

    I am thinking of stopping it, but some say that you have to use it a least for a month. Some also say, that it gets worse before it gets better?

  • @glamhaze Yes, unfortunately it does get waaay worse before it gets better for most people. Give it another month and you will be pleased that you waited. Maybe you should start using it every other night for a while. Just make sure to use a moisturizer afterward at nights :)

  • @glamhaze Yeah Tretinoin made me break out too the first time I used it. Too the point where I was embarrassed to show my right cheek (where I broke out and am prone to usually break out)....that is normal. Im glad I stuck with Tretinoin because the break out was temporary and now my skin has a glow and I hardly break out.

  • Omg I freaking LOVE YOU! I just subscribed to your channel thanks to JuicyTuesday and I seriously should thank her lol. I work for a dermatologist and you so went over and beyond what he has ever told me in regards to tretinoin. pleaseeeee make more videos like this!!

  • I read a scientific journal that said it promotes collage growth. So why would it be bad to apply under the eyes?

    SublimeAgent help us out! I want to hear your thoughts!

  • can you use retin-a on the body ?

  • you scare me...:(

  • Can you apply Tretinoin under your eyes?

  • @insatiablebloom That's a scary thought lol cus the skin around your eyes is like 10x thinner than the rest of your face..

  • how do i get that without a prescription? i want to have one... i have fine lines on my face...

  • This is an excellent video! I am a skincare buff and a lover of chemistry and you have taught me a few things that I did not know about Retin-A! xoxo

  • Be very careful of Retin A. You might want to check out my channel concerning anti aging. I'm 56 and discovered what truly works.

  • Fabulous, very informative video...I just now ran across it and have subscribed and am immediately a fan! Quick question-I just got this prescription and was wondering-can this be used in conjunction with my regular moisturizer (night) routine or should this be used alone? I forgot to ask my Dr. about this and thought with your experience you might know...sooo excited to begin this product!

  • you are amazing!!!! def my favorite <3

  • you are amazing!!!! def my favorite <3

  • Ec-what?

    You mean etcetera

  • Hello well im 19 i had like allot of pimples. My dermatologist gave me Epiduo which I loved and it helped. now he gave me 0.1% Tretinoin and omg my face is peeling like crazy! My cheeks are red and have like brown on them its really wierd what should i do? should i continue to use it or change to something else? Will this product keep my face young??

  • I use it for acne, does that mean its helping fight aging??!!! :D

  • Hello, my doctor prescribed me Tretinoin 0.1% today and I've yet to use it as I'm scared of blistering, do you think I should get him to take it down to .025% or should I just start out with the 0.1% cautiously?

  • @unholyconfessionsxx To be honest, the ,1% is pretty high to start with. You wont blister unless you have very sensitive skin, but you should probably START with a lower dose (most start at the .05%) :)

  • @TheSublimeAgent Hi, I was wondering what you thought of 'BB cream'? I've heard a lot of good things about this product...

  • @TheSublimeAgent Hi, I was wondering what you thought of 'BB cream'? I've heard a lot of good things about this product...

  • @TheSublimeAgent I just bought the 0,1 !? Shouldn't I use it then?! what do you use?

  • first off, your skin looks amazing!

    my question to you is why you have graduated up in percentage doses? does it lose its effect on skin once you have used it for awhile? i am curious to know as my dermatologist was talking about it for my acne ( also wouldn't hurt to beat out the wrinkles i have caused by using so much benzoyl peroxide!). thanks! and wonderful video!

  • Your skin is just perfect!

  • Your skin is beautiful! Have you had laser done on your face? I have tried to use retin-a micro but it dries out my skin so bad. I heard renova is better for dry skin because it has emollients in it. Oh...what do you recommend for getting rid of the appearance of acne scars?

  • my dermatologist prescribed it to me. I've been using this for about 2 years now. and it dries my pimples.which is kinda cool. xD

  • Once your skin is "scaling", are you suppose to keep applying the product in order to peel the rest of the remaining skin off, or should you stop using it and just let the skin peel at its own rate?

  • i have deep lines, very deep under my eyes. how much do u think it would help? right now im suing the gel 0.01% and will slowly increase the percentage. i wasnt comfortable with the cream.

  • when you were talking about your skin flaking; will it only do that when you first start using the product or will it always flake even after continued use?

  • do you have to refrigerate the cream?

  • Hello:)

    I just found this products a couple of days ago & I was wondering..

    Which is better to use, Retin-A or Tretinoid? Because, I thought they were pretty much the same.

    Ohh, & my friend is very thankful for the advise you gave on Keratosis Pilaris.

    You were right, she didn't know how to treat but she's had it since she was a small child:)

  • Really thanks for the video.It was so helpful!But btw,May i know would it works on fading freckles and hyperpigmentation?I am living in UK,does anyone got any idea i could get one?I got an oily skin but not sensitive,which strength would you suggest for me to try for seeing the immediate effect.I am dying and try plenty of products to cure it but...'(..Any reply would much appreciated!

  • Ive been using retin-a micro for 5months now and i have seen amazing results with fine lines, reducing oiliness, acne, skin tone and texture.. the 1% is the only one that worked for me..the .5 did nothing for me

  • I want to tell you that my doctor suggested me to use ADAPALENE (DIFFERIN) to treat my acne scars. He literally says that for people with very oily skin ( as me ) it is better. Please, could you comment this. Thanks a lot.

  • Great that you're able to talk about this in such a scientific way - wow :)

  • cool thanks for the info, now that you got your skin taken care of, next you can work on your studering problem. nothing more pathetic than a gay studering retard

  • thank you so much for your help love your videos!!!!

  • Hi,

    The doctor prescribed me 0.0025% of Tretinoin and with one day of using it it gave me great results I had extremely oily skin and my face feels more matte now and my pores look smaller, but I would like to know if I can use it during the day? Thanx

  • @Igotmykiki Hello. You definitely only want to use it at night :)

  • Great video! Do you just ask your derm to give you a prescription for the generic? I don't have insurance, so I'm looking for the least expensive way to get my hands on this stuff? I haven't been to a doctor in so long and haven't got a prescription since I can't remember when, so I'm not really sure how it all works. or can you get it online with a prescription and get it cheap that way? Thank you!

  • So wait okay i've been using retin a for only a week and my skin all over my face is getting noticeably dry, red, and extremely sensitive.Should i keep using the product? Oh and my Dr. told me to only use it every other day so does that have something to do with it?

  • Your skin looks fantastic.  Ive tried a few Retin A products but I always discontinue as my skin goes dry and peels but I havnt given up!! At the moment Ive been giving my skin a break from products but when I get back into it Ill be trying the retin A again. Thanks for posting!! I subscribed yay!

  • At what age should you start an anti-aging regimen?

  • @castmay Your skin can begin the aging process in your early 20's depending on your lifestyle: smoking, sun exposure, diet etc. If I were you, I would start young. Preventing is always cheaper than fixing.

  • What about side effects of retin a? I have a normal skin with blackheads on my nose and would like to get rid of them. I rly liked your video about retin a, but when a read more about this product i must say that i am kind of afraid to use it. I read that it caused hair loss to some people and that it can cause skin cancer and even something else.

  • Hi Michael,

    Could you please do more anti aging videos? Maybe a video on some key ingredients to look for in a product for people like me who don't know at all what to look for ^^ I've heard hyaluronic acid is a good ingredient to look for in moisturizers but i may be wrong :/

  • Does this Help decrease Rinkles on the Scrotum too ?? Just Curious...

  • I'm using .025, it's winter, and now I'm breaking out and SUPER dry. Do you have a specific moisturizer you like to use with it?

  • where do i get it?  i'm sold!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for the video. I started with .05% a few years ago and it worked so well. Recently I noticed that my skin got used to the .05%, because it didn't have the radiant glow that it did before. I moved up to .1% a few months ago and my skin peeled and I had distinct and sensitive red patches along my jawline and on my neck (no matter how much moisturizer I used). It took me weeks to get those red patches disappear. Now I'm alternating .05% with .1%

  • do i have to stop using apricot cleanser blemish fighting or should i use only 1 cleanser? are you familiar with Dr. Kauffman soap? can i use it while on treatment?

  • calling my dermatologist right after the video

  • your skin is flawless

  • anti aging silver bullet...no such thing unfortunately...id like to think creams might help

  • im using it still but i hate the burning...its ok!

  • OMG i just realize you look a little like Taylor Swift

  • Thank you very much, that whas wery helpful, you allwajs ansver all the questions ;)

  • Hey Michael! I have been using Retin A in 0.1% for about 7 months now. I already went through the purging stage, and it eventually cleared up in late summer/ early fall. My skin looked flawless for once in my life! I stopped using it the whole month of November, because my skin was so dry from the weather. I just started back up on it a few days ago, and my skin seems like it is purging again! Just like it did before. I only missed a month, so is that really possible???

  • please show us how you apply retin-a! please!!

  • @Kyuu17

    I'm curious about that too. After over a week of use I still haven't experienced any redness or breakout, but I have experienced dryness and flaking. I'm using the cream, not the gel. I use more than a pea size amount (a fat pea). With the cream on my right palm and with my left finger, like a painter, I dab and dot my forehead (3-4 dots across) and rub it it as evenly as possible. I do the same for each area of my face. My cheeks end up with probably 5+ dots. So far so good...I hope.

  • @snookas1 i bought retin a over a month ago but still haven't used it. I think you're one of those lucky people who never had major break outs for 2 weeks from using it.

  • @Kyuu17

    I hope I'm one of those lucky few. I had mild acne as a teen, but it became very bad when I was 19-21 years old. I still get the occasional breakout if I exercise too much in a week (4-5 days). I was looking for a video of someone applying this stuff for you and for me. Well, I found one. It was made by a Doctor, and he includes invaluable information, just like TheSublineAgent. I can't post the URL for whatever reason, so I'll PM you the link.

  • I'm really interested in trying this but a bit concerned as I've not heard much about it and wouldn't want to use it if it had on-going negative side-effects. Can you tell me the best and safest places to buy it and give me tips on how to use and apply it? It sounds fascinating and thanks for the great video!

  • im on retin a for a week and i have acne outbreak so bad, i've stopped for two days. it's really really terrible, i'm hiding at home now. :( guess i should just go back to roaccutane.

  • @jarylteo You will get break outs at first, but they go away after a while. The best thing to do is be patient and give it three months. My skin was a mess for the first three months on it, with breakouts and burnt patches, but it was SO worth it. It's amazing and is definitely worth a few months of bad skin at the beginning x

  • Ok first off i would like to say that I stumbled onto your channel today and am loving it. I have watched several of your videos and loveds them. I have tried Retin-A once to help with acne. My problem was that my skin flaked so bad and i tried several moisturizers to try to solve this problem. What moisturizer do you use so that you dont have this problem bc your skin looks AMAZING! Thanks
