Short YouTube advice clip by Shereene Idriss about how to use tretinoin. The speaker advises 'consistency over intensity,' recommending lower-strength prescription tretinoin or over-the-counter retinol used regularly rather than high-strength intermittent use that causes irritation and inflammation; consistent, gentler use yields better long-term results.

Back to tretinoin again. This is where consistency over intensity. I cannot repeat myself enough. I would much rather you use a less strong tretinoin or even an over the counter retinol much more consistently throughout the week than trying to go buck wild on the strongest prescription tret that you can get and your face blows the F off in the process. Go lighter, more regularly where your skin is actually happy. Over time you're going to see better results than trying to go wild every once in a while and your skin gets inflamed in the process. He's back.
