Tretinoin + Hyaluronic Acid = Collagen Maxxed Prettyboy

[Barbarossa_]

After using these my smile lines are gone, way less dark circles, breakouts are zero to none and my skin looks so tight and smooth.
Just a heads up... using Hyaluronic Acid serum on your face in the morning after being on Tretinon will feel like putting a hot cast iron on it!
So if you are low T and can't stand the pain don't try it.

But since Tretinoin actually peels off the old skin Hyaluronic Acid will get absorbed better by your skin and be more effective.

Cope hormones = everything

 

[NorwoodMilitant]

Is it hyaluronic acid in the CeraVe moisturiser and cleansers enough or is it a cope? Should I get the serum?

Fuuckkk another product to buy, just got derminator and vitamin c powder aswell

 

[benignice]

It could be that the pH of your hyaluronic acid is what is causing the pain. Some formulas have lower pH than others so those ones might not be ideal for when your skin is particularly irritated.
Also, if your skin is feeling tight then its dry and needs moisturising.

Lifefuel i'm gonna order retin a and hyaluronic acid. I also use BHA and PHA acids and it really makes my skin glow.

Tretinoin will peel off that flaky skin or you can use a scrub twice a week

I'm on tretinoin.
But not yet on Hylaronic acid serum (only some in moisterizer from Cerave).

It's legit. for anti aging use, even when used topically (although some people claimed it can't absorb well. But this study shows this) :

Efficacy of a New Topical Nano-hyaluronic Acid in Humans

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new topical low molecular nano-hyaluronic acid preparation in treating wrinkles, skin hydration, and skin elasticity in humans. Methods: Thirty-three women with an average age of 45.2 ...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

"The new nano-hyaluronic acid clearly demonstrated a significant benefit in decreasing the depth of wrinkles (up to 40%), and skin hydration (up to 96%) and skin firmness and elasticity were significantly enhanced (up to 55%) at the end of eight weeks."

Every oldcel should focus on combating the agepill, maybe it's too late to slay jb's but at least you can age well and mog other men your age. I use like 10 products on my face and avoid the sun like the plague jfl.

#thisisme.
I'm 35. Since last summer, I have fully started combating the age pill. I magically aged pretty decent already till 35, with near zero "anti"-aging efforts. The only thing I did well was never getting fat, and I was always a little bit (but not enough) carefull for sun-overexposure.

Now, like 8 months in of agepill maxxing.
At a party last month. I was guessed by 2 people between the ages of 19 - late 20's. So it's going pretty well.
I'll looksmaxx untill the next summer. And that should be it, as in reached my looksmaxx potential.

aren't smile lines a chad trait?

Hey @Bluepill share some of this routine, sounds impressive.

What Hyaluronic Acid do you use? I mean, the brand.

 

[Vanity00]

Do you put Tretinoin under your eyes too? I tried and now I have irritated and peeling skin.

 

[mido the slayer]

you apply it after retin A? Or it doesn’t matter as long you use it

Yeah, I was thinking of buying that one, since even @benignice recommends it and it's quite cheap.

Its a good basic hyaluronic. Not my favourite ever but it is absolutely a great place to start.

 

[Dex]

Dark circles improvement? You're probably not rubbing in Tret directly under your eyes, so do you credit the Hyaluronic Acid?

 

[Seth Walsh]

Its a good abasic hyaluronic. Not my favourite ever but it is absolutely a great place to start.

What do you think of oral HA (tablets)? I have a bottle of 300mg HA tabs.

Also going through the worst of an Adapalene purge rn so pray for me

As always, supplements aren't my area but for me personally I've not seen enough evidence of their efficacy to be convinced and whenever I've tried oral HA I've never seen a noticeable difference. If they work for you though, go for it.

Good luck bro, hope you're out the other end soon.

Thanks man! it's about week 4-5 atm. Purge is supposed to be 12 weeks?

HA on its own is a humectant so it should be stacked with emollients (which are found in NMF) in order to maintain hydration.

 

[benignice]

Adapalene purge is usually 6-8 weeks but its not unheard of to go to 12

HA on its own is a humectant so it should be stacked with emollients (especially ceramides which are found in NMF) in order to maintain hydration.

Ceramides are not found in NMF.

How long have you been using it

0.1% or 0.05% or 0.025% ??

 

[Cope]

Ceramides are not found in NMF.

The one I linked does

 

[benignice]

The one I linked does

That product does not contain ceramides, it does contain ceramide precursors but that is not the same thing as actual ceramides. And ceramides are not part of NMF.

I sincerely hope you do. Although considering you had to be corrected about something as basic as the function of ceramides in the skin, I'm not convinced.

lol no bro
sometimes I don't get burned either I think it depends on the stage of when your skin is peeled from tret and being regenerated... don't worry you will feel it sooner or later lol
