@ceo i can’t reply to your post, but that wasn’t trets fault it’s my fault for incorrect usage

and I found something wrong in my skincare routine that was drying out my skin even further that wasn’t tret lol

If you are already old with no fat in your face than tret is good for getting rid of wrinkles.

Is 29 a good age to start tret?

Damn i started last year at 19 , (20 now ) but i think earlier the better because you can prevent your aging significantly

Just dont put it under your eyes but my face looks way more chiseled now , i had bad fat distribution on my face and i believe tret is slimming my nose also so to me this is lifefuel

the nose thing, also happened to me! thats why i continue to use this stuff. Sure my dark circles maybe have gotten slightly worse, but they were bad to begin with. My nose is very good for being a hapa (mom has a wide as fuck asian nose)

isnt better to just use in the nose then?

 

[Whatashame]

i have thich skin in the nose, i dont want to use tret cause i saw permanent effects is some people.

 

[andy9432]

I have some other effects of aging on the face (sun damage) so i just use it over whole face

@Maesthetics=King

it's him, I found his before after (he had cheek implant jfl) , I saw him then on tiktok, reminding me at the same time of this "deja vu". Ill try to find this guy on tiktok but I don't have his name, it may be hard but 100% hes 36 yo

On tiktok he looked even younger

 

[Deleted member 1901]

Jfl at using it if you’re young. It’s meant to palliate, not prevent wrinkles.

Literally dries skin, makes it susceptible to UV (thus susceptible to photoaging) and increases the cell division (with division comes aging)

 

[Kater Maxxing]

Does it reduce bloating

 

[Ken]

Depends on your fat pads. If they are already gone or if you have a fat face then it is ok to start.

 

[Schizomogger]

Does it reduce bloating

It gives you a bigger dick

It doesn’t apply to skin cells they don’t have a division limit, otherwise tret wouldn’t work on older people

Tretinoin only affects the skin. It does not penetrate all the way to the fat pads. It barely penetrates to the second layer of the skin, let alone the subcutaneous fat that's way underneath.

Tretinoin does however smooth out the skin, and that may give the impression your nose got more slender, for example.

Avoid using it on your under-eyes though, as the skin there is particularly thin and sensitive and may not tolerate tretinoin well (leading to a more sunken look / dark circles).

Facial fat loss during tretinoin treatment is therefore to be blamed on external factors, unless the amount of tretinoin applied is high enough to induce an absurd excess of vitamin A (hypervitaminosis), which I don't think would be possible even if you slathered yourself head to toe with 0.1% tretinoin.

Now, am I saying that it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE that some users experience facial fat loss while using tretinoin?
Obviously, no. Everyone is different and there may indeed people who are so susceptible to tretinoin's vitamin A that a few weeks of application is enough to face unwanted consequences. Or, they may just be very susceptible to tretinoin itself.

But still, there is zero scientific evidence that tretinoin damages fat pads leading to an older-looking face, whereas there is plenty of evidence it stimulates collagen production to a degree that prevents it from sagging.
Tretinoin is a mostly well-understood treatment that has been around for a very long time, there are SO MANY people who have been using it for 20+ years with no long term side effects. It doesn't make much sense to focus on fearmongering anecdotal information that applies to an insignificant amount of people.
It would be like refusing to do heart surgery that could save your life because there's a 1 in 20.000 chance the doctors fuck up and you die on the operating table.

One has to consider risks and benefits, and then take the most reasonable decision. If you want treatments and products that are 100% effective with 0% risk of side effects, you simply will never find anything.

This is a looksmaxxing forum. If you spread misinformation that will make users refrain from using something that could benefit their looks greatly, you are defeating the purpose of the forum.

Tret + daily sunscreen = best anti-aging combo.

Even normie foids don't use sunscreen on a daily basis.

This should be a separate pinned post. Im tired of seeing threads where people "debunk" tretinoin
