acnelyse 1% Retinol... Directions all in Turkish... Help needed please

[bettybleep]

I think it was Onehandflapping who recommended getting this one.. But anyone who knows the routine please remind me how to apply it... I remember a hazelnut?? size applied to face (I think) but was it daily? And can I apply it just to age spots on hand and cleavage? The only word I recognise on the box is paraben! TIA

I hope it's 0.1% not 1%

Mine arrived today.
Been googling...apply to clean skin, not freshly washed ( leave 1 he after washing ) apply every other day at first.
Use SPF 15 ( min ) day cream.
Apply at night only because of uv light.
I guess apply a thin layer.

I'm no expert, will check back later for ( hopefully ) more tips.

I use 0.25% not sure I'd go with such a strong dose to start with but maybe I'm just a coward. Only use at night about twenty minutes after you've washed/cleaned your face, use a pea sized blob you can put moisturiser or serum on twenty minutes later if you haven fallen asleep like I do. To start with use it every third night then gradually build up. Expect your skin to be flaky and very dry. Don't use any other products with aha's glycolic acid etc but douse a strong sunscreen.

Can you mix the retin a with a moisturiser, rather than use it on its own?

Thanks for the help ladies yes, Bella, 0.1%... The menopause stole my attention to detail.... and my initiative to google ... someone did say to mix it with moisturiser on the last thread, darbey...
I used it as recommended last night... No dramas yet, face just feels and bit warm, but skin is not redder than normal

It was me. I just use as little as possible to cover my face and neck - I suppose about 3 peppercorns for my face, and another 2 for my neck.

I'd start off using every other day, or maybe only a couple of times a week and see how you go. If your skin gets too flaky, have a little break, and start using it again when it's calmed down.

what does it do to help your skin ? any one answer?

It improves the tiny lines and pigmentation by speeding up cell renewal, makes you popular and changes your whole life
You should look it up on Wiki, before you decide to use it though boilyaheid...it's not for pregnant women, or anyone using hair remover or waxing, for instance.

Hello :) Are any of you still using the cream? It has been a couple of months since the last post and I'm wondering if you have had any noticeable results?

bump :)

I have been using this for 4 weeks now and I am really pleased with the results so far. My crows feet are not as deep and my skin is looking smoother and more even toned. The first couple of weeks were hard going though. My skin was very sensitive however, I was initially using a face scrub to try and get rid of the flakes of skin and getting obsessive picking at it as I was paranoid everyone could see it! Everything has settled down now and my skin has adjusted :)

Hi all !!!

I'm new here & so glad I stumbled on this message !!!

I'm almost out of Acnelyse and just wondered where you are all ordering Acnelyse from.

I found it on one of the popular sites BUT there is an 8.00£ delivery cost for it which is quite shocking ( at least to me )

So I thought I'd ask here.

Hope you are all well and that someone will respond to my question

I ordered Acnelyse .1% from a Canadian Pharmacy and it is not the same as Tretinoin 0.1%. It was sold to me as generic Tretinoin. The color of Acnelyse is yellow not white and it balls up and is not absorbed. I had to go to a USA pharmacy and pay about 4 time the cost to get Tretinoin 0.1%. The new prescription for Tretinoin 0.1% works. The Turkish product does not match the original and does not work.

I need recommendations of pharmacies that anyone have used to purchase Acnelyze 0.1% from Turkey. Thank you,

Where do I buy Acnelyze? Thank you,

I just received my order from Turkey last week. I too ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. The tubes from Turkey say "trentinoin" so I'm assuming its Retin-A. I was taken aback by the yellow color of the cream when I opened it though.... anyone else have this experience? It doesn't seem to have a smell, which I prefer; I have brought Retin-A home from Spain before, and although it was white in color, the smell was over powering. It was a bad smell, it was perfume. YUCK!
