One thing I don't get about tretinoin.

[HerpDerpson]

Tretinoin works by speeding up your body’s skin cell turnover cycle, the process through which your body replaces old skin cells with new ones.
However, any growth equals aging and we only have a limited amount of new cell production cycles so by speeding such process up, we inevitably decrease longevity. So wouldn't that actually age you long-term? Seems contradictory to it supposedly preventing aging.
I dunno, maybe it doesn't matter for modern humans since we live comically little anyway (so you'd die from some sickness way before you'll se the consequences).

Skin cell turnover just means faster replacement
The rate of mitosis and gene mutation will remain the same- with or without tretinon

Essentially long term tretionon makes your cells accustomed to the faster development so you will always look 'smoother/younger' despite your internal body's condition (be it chaotic or healthy)
Its the reason why an 80yo man can use tretinon on his hands and have them look young instead of wrinkly. It doesn't actually mean he's not a wrinkled fuck

you've written too high iq shit for this site

tretinoin is dogshit. adapalene mogs

 

[crosshold]

the high turn over rate is an unrelated mechanism of action i think for antiaging. it also increases collagen which is the main point of it for antiaging

Hayflick limit doesn’t apply to skin cells, you’re safe
