I fell for the tret/taz meme. My skin looks the same or worse. I don't even have acne
oh man that sucks
>>77247475Adapalene+retinol Chad checkin in 2 mog u, kek.
>>77247475It's supposed to look worse for the first month or so because it's purging the stuff underneath your skin
>>77247475Tretinoin is the best anti-aging retinoid on the market I believe. You're claiming it actually ages you? Any evidence for that?
>>77247475why bother with tret if you don't have acne?
>>77247718Antiaging supposedly.I'm 4-5 years on tret/taz and it's only made my skin worse too, I feel.Still I carry on because I trust science.
>>77247666I claim it doesn't do anything if you don't have acne
>>77247772and who cares what you claim?
>>77247746>Still I carry on because I trust science.um, scroll up 2 >>77247492, better /sci/.>t. uses those and a crap-ton of other interventions; clankers say I'm around 13 years younger than my chronological age now, stopping thinking a couple retinoids alone are the ultimate solution.
>>77247475tretinoin destroyed the fat pads under my eyes and now i look even more subhuman
>>77248445this happen to me as well,,, i use it from age 29 to age 37 and now i have bag under the eyesi regret bitterly
>>77248456sounds like you just got old
>>77247475Vitamin a is a toxin, that's why it rapes the skin, so the skin has to shed and make new skin.
>>77248512Accutane is anoher vitamin A toxin that rapes your body.
>>77248509no i think it the tretinoins
>>77247497>>77247666>>77247475>>77248445retinol and tretinoin accelerates cell turnover. that means cells will hit replication limit earlier and your skin will age faster. all things that kill skin cells do that aswell
>>77248630that's not how the hayflick limit works, you pulled this straight out of your ass.
>>77247475>26.7 years old>Perfect skin with no wrinkles, not even minuscule ones.>Use that tub of aging shit known as tretinoin because they say it was the best antiaging cream ever which guaranteed you never getting any wrinkle>4 days later>3 HUGE DEEP wrinkles appeared below each lower eyelid, one even appeared on my forehead>Use flashlight in front of the mirror to see if any miniwrinkles were being created, lots of mini wrinkles around eye area which were never there before>Was using a moisturizer and hyaluronic acid so it's not like I wasn't hydrating my skin>Instantly stop using that shit>Wrinkles get better but after 1.5 months have not yet completely dissapeared>tretinoin gets shilled so much online by a bunch of cultists retards that I end up trying to use it again beffering it between a moisturizer while moustirzing twice a day and adding vaseline and urea cream to my stack>Try it for like over 3 months this time, under eye wrinkles back to how they were at the start nad never improve it>Drop tretinoin and try adapalene for 3 days before it giving me the same exact symptomsI think what happened is that that tub of aging shit thinned my skin and because of that I now have those minuscule wrinkles, there are even people who get their under eye fat destroyed by tretinoin, specially black females they even get saggy skin from fucking tretinoin.Tretinoin doesn't work for everyone and if you are one fo those and say it online you will get the same stupid responses of "it takes a gazillon yers to work bro", or "you weren't mositurizing enough bro"Also argireline also made unwanted wrinkles appear on my face after just 2 days of use. This is why add skincare products and supplements ojne at a time and why I haven't tried red light theraphy (there are cases of it destroying your facial fat and aging the fuck out of your face, altohugh apparently it seems to only do that at higher lenght waves)
>>77247775This is a thread about personal experiences with retinoids faggotYou think if tret did shit women would bother with botox, filler, or inserting literal screws in their face (picrel)?
We warned you faggots. No avail.You will never look 20 again, you will never be a carefree teenager having innocent non-transactional sex where you both figure out shit on the goJust give up, find a hobby, stop stressing yourself over these things
>>77248958retard
>>77248958I've looked around 23 for well over a decade and you just haven't researched enough ingredients BESIDES le mee-may leddit normie retinoids.
>>77248952>You think if tret did shit women would bother with botox, filler, or inserting literal screws in their face (picrel)?Do you think women are rational?
>ordered retinol 3 days ago>now reading that its badhad a feeling this shit was a vax tier homo scam
>>77249239>vax tier homo scamIt's really kinda variable. I use really cheap-ass retinol, like literally a $1.50 dollar 2oz store jar, and it ack-shilly helps my skin texture slightly, among many other treatments.
>>77248663This happened to me as well. In my mid 20s had great skin, used that shit around my eyes and forehead, and withing a couple weeks I had visible wrinkles that weren't there before. Still have those years later. Shit's fucking wack, man.
>>77249463nigga i am not using this shit after reading >>77248663 >>77249609i wanted to use it on my forehead too
>>77249239I have used it for 10+ years. There is a 3-6month purge where your skin looks worse then it gets better.
>>77249659Niqqa just try dis shiz on ur forehead instead then, much manlier than some kinda foid serum dropper-jar, completely autolysis-mogs retinoids across the board.>t. duct tapes forehead plus uses le reddit-inoids as about 5% of forehead protocol, undoubtedly forehead-mogs this whole thread and most certainly Wall'd Tennyson despite out-uncing him.
>>77248663>stopped after four days>unaware of purging phase>all of the explanation and not one mention of sunscreenYou fucked up the application retard.You're not supposed to put it underneath your eyes, get a specific eye cream for that. Your eye skin is different to the rest of the skin on your face.If you're not using sunscreen it's gonna fuck your skin up worse than not using tretinoin at all, tretinoin is weakening your skin barrier, your skin is gonna be photosensitive after use and your skin is gonna get MORE damaged if you go out in the sun.You nuked your skin retard. It's a fucking exfoliant, a strong one too, you should've started with weak retinol or a retinoid. Why do you idiots always start with the nuclear option instead of slowly introducing stronger actives, it's like buying a 1000cc sports as a first bike without having any lessons and never having ridden before because you saw Guy Martin compilations of him in the Isle of Man TT, you don't know what you're getting into, you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna fucking hurt yourself.>>77249239It's very good, just make sure you have a proper skincare regiment, correct skin hygiene, apply it at night, don't use it EVERY FUCKING DAY and use sunscreen. Fuck it up and you're gonna fuck your skin up (permanently in many cases), speak to women that have a proper skincare routine and know what the fuck they're doing, speak to more than one. You should be speaking to a dermatologist but in all likelihood you haven't so good luck in not fucking everything up if you don't consult anyone, especially a professional.People seem to forget these are strong ass pharmaceuticals, you're putting this shit on your face and it's changing your skin's PH balance and increasing cell turnover and reducing/increasing different biological processes, this isn't a fucking fruit smoothie.
My derm gave me 10mg a day accutane for my rosacea/acne combo. Is this shit gonna fuck me up for life? 35 year old boomer by the way
>>77250281>changing your skin's PH balancePart of my skincare routine involves swinging pHs from 2 to 13 to 7.
>>77248952The first video I ever saw of Clavicular was back in 2024 when Clavicular himself was shilling his youtube channel with 100 subscribers here on /fit/He posted a link to a youtube video of him in his parents bathroom injecting these same things into his lower brow area haphazardly, trying to get hunter eyes.He also in another thread posted a video he secretly recorded of himself getting Botox at a clinic.
>>77248663tretinoin does dry out the skin, so it might have killed your natural oil production which kept your skin moist
>>77250281I did use suncreen, I didn't even remeber to mention it.I started with 0.025 tretinoin, there is plenty of people that start with tretinoin and never use retinol. There are people saying that retinol also gave them wrinkles. Some people get wrinkles from vitamin a derivatives. I use bakuchiol, matrixyl 3000, matrixyl synthe6 and ghk-cu as collagen boosters instead.
>>77248630>that means cells will hit replication limit earlier and your skin will age faster
>>77250506Yeah I knew then clav was going to be big. It was only a matter of time before a jew signed him and made him famous.
>>77250281>It's very good, just make sure you have a proper skincare regiment, correct skin hygiene, apply it at night, don't use it EVERY FUCKING DAY and use sunscreen.well i am a bit spooked now to be real. the retinol i've got is only 0.1% but it's bundled with bakuchiol and hyaluronic acid. i've also gotten a sun cream, a moisturizer and a some simple washing gel. all with the help of chat gpt whom i fed the ingredients lists. so i wasn't going to use it blindly, but this anons post >>77250904 are making me want to try something else.
