New year, new Winter Skincare Routine starring tretinoin. Here's what I'm using, how and when I use it in my routine. Especially during this time of year with more extreme dryness and cold, I'm careful with my retinoids and make sure that all other supporting skincare is gentle and fortifying. This is what I do to make sure that my skin is protected during overnight repair.

Perfect timing for your video., I have never tried Tretinoin after using other products and have always been very light handed on any products I layer on top as I didn’t want to “move” the Tretinoin. I will try first using Hada Labo Gokujun hydrating lotion, then apply Tretinoin with a topping of rich moisturizer gently patted on top.
💙👏
What was the Japanese store mentioned?
Matsukiyo. They have a store in Hong Kong.
It’s entertaining to see people who can use many products in a single routine. I want to explore more, but my skin just don’t like it. My PM routine is milk cleanser & tretinoin only 😅
that sounds awesome. I think sometimes less is more. I am trying to reduce the products in my routine too because I don’t really benefit from some of them and it stresses me out when traveling etc. the most important things are: tretinoin, spf, vitamin c and moisturizer. that’s totally enough.
@lazy. taledragon yes yes. Simpler set is easier to control.
What brand of milk cleanser
No moisturizer after tret??
Hopefully moisturizer after the tretinoin
Dear Rene, how quickly after tret do you use cream and otehr NIOD vaccine? I am located in Switzerland and unfortunately cant use curology (also rosacea and sensitive skin sufferer). Is there something similar in Europe? I have medik8 retinal 1, but dont like their creams, I would love to have routine similar to yours to get rosacea under control und strengthen the skin. Thank you very much.
Yeah! 🎉
I’ve recently gone up in Tretinoin to 0.1% , 15% Azelaic Acid & 4% Niacinimide which I can tolerate . Can I get your essense from StyleVana or can I buy direct ? I’m in London 🇬🇧 . Love your content . 🙌👏😊🇬🇧
It’s direct only. And shipping is steep. Hopefully it will be available for the rest of the world soon 😊
You’ll probably spend less just getting that stuff over the counter where u live
I just restarted curology and went up to 0.02 from 0.0125. I was thinking about purchasing niod MG to help support my barrier. Im alternating niod copper lipids and tret. Thank you for still sharing your journey. You look amazing G! Proof is in the pudding!
I’ve been using Beauty of Joseon retinaldehyde eye cream and I may never use anything else. I’d like to try The Ordinary eye serum. I use the other products in the peptide line and love them!
How does the Ordinary eye serum fare our against the NIOD FECC? The latter is a classic
It’s great to see you! Xx
Renee i’ve recently purchased ur essence collab and am really loving it. I am bummed to learn it’s a limited edition item and wish u and Saro de Rúe would make it a permanent item so I can keep using it!
Finally someone who doesn’t ignore eye lids and area below eye brow and above eye lids!
wish i could get Agency here in Europe. unfortunately the tretinoin formulas here are very old-fashioned and in my country i only have 2 different ones to choose from, with the lowest strength offered being 0.05 %. both are fragranced and don’t work that well for me, so i’ve gone back to adapalene. would love to try the more elegant american formulas!
I have never gotten through the purge stage of retinol so unfortunately can’t use it
Hi! I enjoy your videos so much. I always learn so much. Is there a Matsukio store in NYC? Is there a Korean skincare store you would recommend in NYC? Thanks!
I like aveeno baby cream if my skin gets irritated. It’s inexpensive and effective.
新年快乐 Renee! Happy year of the rabbit!
