to ask, what retinol do you use?

[glassmister]

The ordinary is completely out of stock everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I have managed to get some Inkey List before that goes completely out of stock too.

What do you use?

I use a cheap one for Superdrug but I’m not convinced it does much. Watching this thread with interest!

Tretinoin from Dermatica, a monthly subscription service.

I've just ordered some A313 from amazon that was recommended on here. Not arrived yet so can't comment if it's any good or not personally but reviews on here were good.

I don't use it myself, but if you are going to do retinol you might as well do it properly and get the tretinoin from the Spanish pharmacy!

I don't know if this is the right concentration for starting with, but there are other concentrations on there I think.

Retinol Reface but I do want to get something a bit stronger so will watch this thread with interest. Does anyone use Paula’s Choice?

I use this one, didn’t realise there was different ones with better results, Watching this thread now 👀

Retirides, I get it from Spain. I started by mixing it with moisturiser as it was too strong for me at the start

Tretinoin. I get a tube every month from Dermatica. I find it far superior to any beauty product containing retinol.

Following with interest.
Do they really work then??

'The Ordinary' do retinol and granactive retinoid solutions and they're super affordable :)

It really does work Bill. You must use a high SPF with it though.

There's shed loads of the Ordinary retinol on eBay!

Retirides from Spain.

La Roche Posay Retinol +Vitamin C. I like it.
Factor 50 every day after it.

Another Tretinoin user here - also from Dermatica.

How do you know it works ? This is a serious question. Does it visibly change you or do you think that it's made a difference to how you would look in the long term ?

0.1% tretinoin

No wrinkles whatsoever

The 0.1% stuff, do you mix it with any moisturiser or is it safe on its own?

Fascinated by this, it’s like a secret world.

Next had a lot of The Ordinary stuff in stock earlier in the week.

Facetheory REGENACALM SERUM S1 PRO www.facetheory.com/products/regenacalm-pro?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4vO4g3HdkVBE1iYPclh7kxP5EM9cbxbluHCTG--ZlUo4dK6nPsK8IoaAmgnEALw_wcB

Dermatica won’t offer a consultation as I’m breastfeeding. Back to the drawing board!

It is the only scientific anti wrinkle proven to work

Blimey, hadn’t even considered that GrumpyHoonMain. I’ll stick with glycolic acid for now, thank you.

@AnneLovesGilbert - what does glycolic acid do?
