What is better for anti aging? Tretinoin 0.5% or tazarotene 0.1%? What can be used? AHA or BHA? Any advice on how to apply the retinoid? I only know it should be applied to clean dry skin at night. Can i mix it with lotion or cream? Can i put a moisturizing cream or hyaluronic acid over it? I have noticed most dermatologists have flawless skin which i am assuming its from their daily topical skin care routine and trying their lasers? Any serums or moisturizer you would recommend? Physical or chemical blocks? (I have a beard and physical sunscreen makes beard all white). Currently i use cetaphil cleanser, caudalie premier cru le serum, Dermaceutic Tri Vita C30 - 30% Vitamin C Serum, sun screen. Nocte i only use tazarotene without any moisturizer. Thanks in advance.
I have a Niacinamide serum that has avocado oil and hyaluronic acid in it. I've researched conflicting information about when to apply this when it comes to using Retin-A gel. Do I apply this serum before or after Retin-A gel?
Hello Switched my retin-A 0.05% creme to a 0.1% gel and my face turned into a peel off-mask (kind of fun picking your skin), cannot be constantly flaky and red - It's nasty looking. Since My reaction to the stronger concetration is heavy peeling, should I peel my skin once a week with 0.1% and use 0.05% other nights? And is sealing serum and moisturiser into my skin with vaseline ok? It seems to work. Thank you :-)
*Background of my face: nothing that I want / DYING to fix. Im 25. Would just like a nice skincare routine for my age Day: 1) cleanse 2) tone 3) serum- my question is I have vitamin c , hyaluronic acid, b5 serum (which should be applied first to last?) or should they even be applied in the day? 4) moisturizer 5) sunscreen Night: 1) cleanse face with same cleanser as day 2) do same toner? 3) same serums? 4) retinol 5) same moisturizer? Please please. I would really appreciate it
After I applied the tretinoin microsphere gel, can I apply vit. c serum as a moisturizer? And, if I apply vit. c serum first, wait 20 minutes, then, apply tretinoin microsphere gel, and then, apply a moisturizer, like argon oil? Thank you very much, doctors. Bobby Dan.
