Anyone else on Tretinoin for anti aging?

That's for Accutane, which is a digestible pill version of vitamin A. Tretinoin is a topical cream

The only real side effects from Tretinoin is potential skin irritation before your skin adapts.

Btw @Deorum are you a tret user?

I used retinol micro in the past, in conjunction with low quantities of HGH.

Both work extremely well - the toughest part of using retinol is the first month. Your skin peels, and it can look pretty gnarly, particularly around your mouth and under eyes.

If you can stick with it though, it will drastically improve your complection - it eliminates fine lines, enlarged pores etc.

In Canada, it's by prescription only, but worth talking to your doctor about.

Does Canada have hims?

hims is like an app where PAs, Nps and mds and shit can prescribe it’s super easy and pretty cheap

In the US you need a prescription for retinol as well
Though if you can’t get one you could use differin which is OTC while you look for someone to prescribe

I started using 0.025 nightly about a year ago. It's legitimately taken about 5 years off my appearance in under a year
I literally had no idea about skincare, but discovered that its the only legit anti-aging cream and it was dirt cheap so why not.
Would recommend

No homo.

I just started earlier this year. I get gnarly peeling though hopefully I adapt soon

What strength you on? cream or gel? If you're having skin issues it's ok to back down to once or twice a week. Also make sure you're not using more than a small pea size. I use Urea moisturizing cream and LRP B5 Baulm which are amazing for irritation. Daily sunscreen is also really important on tret, even if you don't get much sun.

Btw retinol is over the counter but Retinoids (tretinoin) need a script. Differn is also proven for anti-aging but doesn't have as much research behind it as tret does. You can avoid getting a script if you order from overseas at sites like alldaychemist like I did.

Thanks for the correction I always mix those up

yeah I’m using the cream I had a friend who is a dermatologist prescribe to me and I think I’m going to take your advice with urea

I’m using 0.025, I started every other day then went to nightly and the peeling is pretty bad but I also virtually never wear sunscreen because of…. Natural Melanin lol, but I know you’re supposed to even with that
 
Yeah I use it. Been using for about 3 years now. It’s great.

When I first started using it I put way too much on my face for a week straight and also put it on right after washing my face. So skin wasn’t completely dry. So dumb. The peeling was horrible and incredibly painful. I looked and felt like a burn victim. Hah.
 
Just drink a lot of water, exercise, eat plenty of fruits & veggies and you should be fine.

Women tell me I look like I'm in my early 20's.
 
I hate people who take more than the daily requirements of anything. Fuck are you doing. You really added tretinion to your cart and sat there and entered your cc info happily? Cum is free bro
 
Also you never want to make any facial expressions like a smile they stretch your skin up and it gets wrinkly
 
Did about 6 months at .025%. Didn't have any peeling so now I've been using .05% for the last few months. Apply it most nights and still no problem with dryness or peeling.
 
What do u guys mean by .025 or .05?

how do u know how much ur putting on?

is this expensive?

They're just the strengths you get them in. 0.025 is enough. Cheap as hell from alldaychemist. I got about two years worth for about $60
 
I enjoy looking my age. I don't care about looking older, the only effort I put in is to feel younger.

Why do you guys put in so much effort to it?
