In my opinion, if you want a retinoid, get a prescription for it. The over-the-counter stuff is not very effective, if at all. The shelf stability... Many studies have shown that almost all retinoids over the counter, retinols over the counter are basically unstabilized by one year. So you don't even know what you're paying for. The prescription is easy to get.

Everybody should be on it. Protects your skin, keeps you looking young, reduces skin cancer risk, grows new collagen. Literally the only consequence is that when you first start, your skin may be a little bit red or peely as the skin acclimates or turns over. Other than that, nothing.

Because that's a great question. So we hear so much about retinol. Every magazine you open that has anything you'll see like intensive night cream, intensive eye serum, regenerist eye repair, and all of them have retinol. None of them have retinoid or tretinoin for many reasons. Originally, it was made for acne.

And the patients that came in to get them for acne were not necessarily in the same line of thought of premature aging and longevity.

Yeah, Retin-A, exactly, or Accutane or Differin. These are the brand names for these products. So there was a disconnect between the people seeking the anti-aging effects and the people getting it as a prescription. That's one. And number two, as soon as cosmeceutical companies figured out a way to market over-the-counter inactive versions, that went haywire.

So you can Google retinol, and there's a million things. When you Google tretinoin, you only hear about acne. So there's a little bit of a disconnect, much like all in medicine, between what docs know and think the population knows and what the population actually knows. But that's the one thing I think we've been doing a great job on in modern-day social media is advocating for these medicines.

That's one realm of things that you can do to absolutely improve the quality of your skin, long-term health, appearance, actually revitalize the skin. Then there's a whole set of procedures that can be done that have been shown to improve not only the appearance, but actual biologic health. So that's where we fall into the laser world. And somebody who's been in photobiology
