  Retinol, a powerful over-the-counter skincare active that can rival prescription-strength tretinoin.  # retinol     # tretinoin    # vitamin A     # skincare products  

  I discuss the benefits of a "low and slow" approach, gradually building tolerance, and how this has positively impacted my skin in my late 40s. After 20+ years of using tretinoin, retinoic acid, and retinol, I believe it's one of the best things I've done for my skin, alongside lasers and daily sunscreen use. # retinol    # tretinoin     # vitamin A      # skincare products  

  I debunk the misconception that tretinoin thins the skin and explain how both tretinoin and retinoic acid stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, reverse sun damage, strengthen the skin barrier, and thicken the dermis. # retinol       # tretinoin     # vitamin A      # skincare products  

  our skin accumulates trauma and sun damage over time, leading to laxity, loss of collagen and elastin, stretched pores, and brown spots. # fraxel laser       # laser treatment       # laser resurfacing           # skincare
