Whats your favourite retinol?

[Myusernam]

I tried the ordinary ages ago but didnt like it. Now I have my skin looking good and have a decent routine, I want to reintroduce it. Any recommendations for an oily skinned/ fair, 30 year old women?

I'm on Dermatica 0.5% and buikt up from 0.25%. No peeling, its been great.

[Delatron]

I spent a while building up wityMedik8 crystal retinal 10 which is one of the strongest over the counter ones.

Now on Dermatica 0.05% most nights with no problem. I prefer this to Ketral (Portuguese Tretinoin). Think the niacinamide helps.

[Mumtumwobble]

I’m using Beautypie retinol super booster at the moment and I like it. I think it’s still pretty mild though, but I’m seeing results and have had absolutely no irritation at all.

[babyinthacorner]

Just coming back to say i’m using dermatica and I don’t know if i’m dreaming it, but I think I saw an improvement after 2 nights of using it. 11 lines less noticeable and skin def more glowy and ‘well’ looking!

@babyinthacorner you can edit your subscription online to adjust how often you want them to send you stuff. You could go down to every 2 or 3 months if you don't use it every night.

[babyinthacorner]

@timetest thanks!

[timetest]

babyinacorner if you want you can stop for a month. I use it on my face, neck and chest so get through a whole tube. If I just used it on my face it would probably last for nearly 2. It is worth the money imo.

@FindingNeverland1 preventative and can repair previous damage. You must wear sunblock every day with it but you should do that regardless if you want to avoid the Madge from Benidorm look.

I don’t know what it does but I’ve heard Trinny saying you have to use it at my age as you lose something like 30% of colleges through menopause which sounded very depressing.

[babyinthacorner]

Those using Dermatica - I’ve just subscribed but I might feel differently about paying £20 a month when I’m back to paying £££ for childcare come September... do you have to have a monthly subscription or can you taylor it to whenever you need more products?

[OldLace]

Is this what I would use to reduce forehead wrinkles as an alternative to Botox please (not that I've ever used that either)

[troppibambini]

Another one for dermatica trentinoin. I've used plenty of others the ordinary etc... they are ok but this stuff is really good. I've been religious about using it over lock down and I'm not dashing back to get my Botox done.

[YoureBreakingMyHeartCecilia]

Indeed Labs. But it’s prob quite a mild/beginners one. It’s a good price though and I love it.

[emma6776]

Another Dermatica Tret user - I’m back on the 0.25 though as my skin can’t take the 0.5 even after nearly a years nightly use of the lower strength.

[MrBennsshop]

Of course. Here you go: www.farmaciaenandorra.com/shop/retirides-005-30g

[waterjungle]

MrBennsshop can you tell me what website you use. I would like to buy but don't know where is reliable?

[MrBennsshop]

I buy tretinoin online from a Spanish pharmacy. It's incredible stuff

[MadamShazam]

I'm really noticing a difference using Aldi's Retinol toner. And a bargain for £3.99.

[Happyface120]

Another vote for tretinoin from Dermatica, 0.05% with niacinimide. Such good value for a prescription tretinoin, and so much more effective than anything you can buy from a beauty brand.

[Newnamedillydally]

Using medik 8, 3 intense really liking it.

[tinkerbellla]

[DameCelia]

Tretinoin, on prescription from dermatica. Retinol is an ester of retinoic acid and unlikely to have much effect.
