Mimicking tretinoin

[GoodLookinSquirrel]

Hello guys do you know of any dietary ways to mimick the effects of tret (boosting skin cell turnover and reducing sebum). Im 18 so want to hold off till 25-26 until I start using tret. Till then will be on retinol. Y'all got any diet tips for skin maxxing?

matrixyl/higher dosage retinol + vitamine c/e.

don't combine retinol with c directly though, one for evening one for morning.

Ascorbic acid vs vitamin C which is better?

same mechanism as retinol except you can use it in the morning, doesn't cause sun sensitivity either, weaker though.

why would you not use tret until you’re 25

And j don’t eat added sugar or any processed shit. all natural diet beats any other

Yeah I'm already avoiding processed sugar. The reason I want to hold off on tret is because collagen doesn't start declining till mid 20s. Why give yourself unnecessary flaking and sun sensitivity before necessary?

unnecessary flaking is a temporary effect. and you should be wearing sunscreen anyway to prevent aging. imo i want as high collagen as possible always so I use tret and do laser resurfacing. if you have low collagen now, your skin will age and may not come back later
