This is a YouTube short titled "Tretinoin Skin Tip! #shorts" (posted 2024-09-23T16:49:25Z) containing a short monologue by a board-certified dermatologist giving skincare advice about tretinoin. The speaker emphasizes "consistency over intensity," warns that frequent inflammation from aggressive tretinoin use can accelerate aging, and recommends using less aggressive options (including over-the-counter retinol) regularly or using prescription tretinoin only once or twice weekly if the skin cannot tolerate more. The clip ends with an invitation for viewers to ask questions.

Board certified dermatologist. I just want to pop on here to say consistency over intensity. When it comes to tretinoin, the goal is never to be her. Yes, she looks great after a few days, but the way she's getting there is a disaster in the long run. Because when you constantly introduce inflammation into your skin and your face, your face is not going to handle it and you're going to age faster. You better go less aggressive. Use something less intense, much more consistently, even an over the counter retinol. If you can't tolerate a prescription more nights of the week than not, then use a prescription once or twice a week and blow your face off in the process. If you guys have any retinol questions, turning on questions, or any questions in general, let me know below. And no, I do not have a filter.
