what works? what mystery compounds are you even talking about? tret? i don't even need that shit my skin is already clear from a balanced healthy diet and regular exercise. i'm being lazy because i don't want to cope like that 50 year old doing blood transfusions because he wants to larp as a 20 year old despite still looking 50?
i don't understand you, anon. you're gonna get old and you're going to die and nothing is going to change that.

why is this thread still fricking up when it has absolutely nothing to do with fitness? why do moderators do absolutely nothing on this fricking board

idk, i dont mind this thread. for a fitness board, IST is one of the worst boards to browse. theres so much pathetic shit on here like a "feels thread" lmfao. at least the female fitness general got removed.
he aint coping. Even Arnold look better with age. if you look good young, you look special good at 40+, like this special mature look. Theres so many males i googled that are like 50+ now, and when i saw how they looked at 20, i fricking lol, cause they look like goofy betamales.
>I'm 40 and would absolutely NOT go back to looking younger.
this is true for most men, aging is the only thing thats most men. when people see old men, they think "men." when most people see non old men, they think "loser" or "geek" or "betamale." Majority of men are better with age. and as men age, they stop being judged on looks, which most men dont have. so aging is a benefit for men.

Makes your skin super sensitive. Gets sunburned really easily and is just generally uncomfortable
retinol does make your skin sensitive to outside factors but usually when you start the treatment you have to make sure you use weak concentrations first like 0,2%.(or you will literally get a chemical burn) After some months you can get a stronger product
>*applies retinoids to every inch of your skin from the inside*
Don't take it if you're pregnant, the baby will become a moronic spastic. You'll be fine though.
High does retinol (i.e. pre-formed vitamin A from liver, eggs, retrinol supps) is the natural form of Isotretinoin/Accutane and Tretinoin. It's not promoted much because high doses during pregnancy will cause the fetuses bones to malform at a critical stage, so if every woman was taking retinol for clear glowing skin they'd be thousands of deformed jellybone babies born every year, so it's kept on the hush.
>Hypervitaminosis A refers to the toxic effects of ingesting too much preformed vitamin A (retinyl esters, retinol, and retinal). Symptoms arise as a result of altered bone metabolism and altered metabolism of other fat-soluble vitamins. Hypervitaminosis A is believed to have occurred in early humans, and the problem has persisted throughout human history. Toxicity results from ingesting too much preformed vitamin A from foods (such as fish liver or animal liver), supplements, or prescription medications and can be prevented by ingesting no more than the recommended daily amount.

That's only for pregnant woman and women who may be pregnant and not know it because of the risk of certain deformaties in a critical stage of the first trimester. And even then pregnant women who are at risk of vitamin A deficiency are recommended to take 10,000 IU a day or 25,000 IU a week throughout the pregnancy.
High does retinol (i.e. pre-formed vitamin A from liver, eggs, retrinol supps) is the natural form of Isotretinoin/Accutane and Tretinoin. It's not promoted much because high doses during pregnancy will cause the fetuses bones to malform at a critical stage, so if every woman was taking retinol for clear glowing skin they'd be thousands of deformed jellybone babies born every year, so it's kept on the hush.
Interesting. I remember seeing some anon a few months back shilling against vitamin A and foods high in it such as liver.
It’s okay mothers get free stem cells from their unborn children that’s why they have soft skin and some don’t get stretch marks. They absorb free nutrients from the growing baby making excess stem cells. That’s the real youth. Retinol is best taken orally so that it goes into your skin from under the subdermal layer.
We're not talking about clinical deficiency, we're talking about excellent skin. Retinol gives you perfect glowing skin, vegtable carotenoids turn your skin orange and do nothing. They are not the same.

Oral retinol is OTC accutane. Like accutane is can cause birth defects during the first trimester when many women won't even be aware they are pregnant. Otherwise it will give you perfect glowing skin and millions of people take both for that effect.
Sounds like a biotin/b-vitamin issue. Places with more skin cell turnover, like lips and skin folds, consume lots of biotin and b-vitamins to produce new cells. If you have a biotin or other b-vitamin deficiency that production becomes defective and shows up there first.
Tretinoin is a nothinburger... you just put in on your face and don't let it interact with any other products too much and you're good. As far as the accutane, for most people the worst of it is that it just dries you out, so chapped lips, nosebleeds if you're not shoving aquaphor or some shit up there every now and then, dry eyes that drops can deal with, even rectal bleeding if that area starts to get dry enough too. Muscle aches/joint pain happens to some people, probably particularly relevant for you if you're hanging around here. All the others are rare enough to not really highlight all that much, but they are pretty damn wild. The only seriously dangerous things that can happen are intercranial hypertension or liver damage, both rare and you'll be tested for the second every month anyway so that's not an issue. Just don't keep taking the pills when you've got a severe headache/nausea/vomiting/blindness like an idiot and you'll be fine.
If you use any retinoid on your face do NOT forget to wear suncream when going out, retinoids makes your skin more susceptible to sun damage. If you dont use suncream you will end up with fricked up skin
You get the perfect skin of a 20 year old. You can just take high dose retinol if a script and all the liver test wankery is too much

I'm 30 and have been using tret 0.005% mostly for face acne, and it's given me a youngish look, I often see other people in their early 30s also and remark at how much older they look than me.

You look young and handsome for a 30 year old white guy. You look early 20s, mid 20s.
>What are the side effects of this ?
Makes your skin soft, which makes it easily bruise and get cut. Also, gives you redness and dry skin on the applied area, but it's temporary as your skin will adjust.
Makes you susceptible to sunburn, which is why you have to constantly wear sunblock.
For a good reason anon.
20x more stronger than retinol and it causes a bad rash if used concurrently with other acne products such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also causes a chemical like sunburn if not wearing sunscreen in the sun for not even 10 mins.
Too costly and it takes a long time to see the results.
Just use tretinoin. A single tube usually lasts 3 months, and with insurance, it only costs $8 for me.
Just get Differin. It's in the same category as Retin A and it easier to tolerate. It takes longer to get the same results but you end up at the same place. It's cheap and over the counter.
i moisturize like 3-4x a week and thats it. skin is almost always clear. didnt have any acne or bad skin growing up at all despite having shit hygiene/diet as a teenager. got lucky in this area
I don't want to look 20. I'm 32 and people still think I'm in my early 20s if i shave. My brother is 35 and actually looks more handsome than he ever did in his 20s.
As long as you aren't fat or bald your 30s are the best looks wise.
The doctor on prescription. Or in America you can get Differin/Adapalene OTC, a third generation retinoid cream. Oral retinol capsules are OTC as vitamin A.

I have a small amount of loose skin at the bottom of my pecs and belly from being obese as a teen, its not much but its enough to not have a flawless physqiue. Any advice? Will a few years of staying lean make it go away? 26 y.o
im 26 and still get acne / have red spots from old acne. I use an acne wash daily to twice daily, salycilic acid, and hyaluronic acid and moisturize with extra virgin olive oil I wash off so it doesnt clog my pores. Im about to take accutane. Being 26 and having acne albeit relatively mild is such bullshit
For frick sake, just make carrots part of your daily nutrition. Also any homosexual buying whole separate bottles of vitmains instead of just getting a daily multi is a spastic 'health conscious' hipster homosexual sperg. Taking any vitamins at that level are so fricking stupid, you're literally paying for brightly colored piss & thats it. I take a centrum silver for ages 50+ twice a day and if I shave my beard I go from 40s to 20s and thats after nearly 2 decades of smoking. Why do tards on IST always shell uselessly high levels of supplements? Killing your kidney for nothing cause I guarentee none of ya'll are drinking enough water with this shit. >tl;dr: Enjoy your kidney stones.
Where can I get this shit without prescription? Is thebeautybliss legit? I'm also young in my early 20s, would this have any benefit? I have minor acne but nothing crazy, just a couple spots.
In Europe I just ordered from tretinoin.eu a few days ago we will see how it goes.
Probably overpriced but you're only supposed to use a pea sized amount 2-3 times a week so idc
>0.025%
stop being a pussy. I jumped right into 0.1% and it only dried up my lower eyelids a bit at first (probably applied too much of it there) >i'm 33 and there's no turning back time
wtf do you want to turn back at 33? I started tret at almost 35 and I only had slight forehead lines
few weeks for forehead lines to appear more shallow, but the skin started feeling smooth and not porous anymore much sooner. after a few months the dark circles under my eyes, which I had since childhood, are much lighter
>makes you look 20 years old
why would you want this? granted I am only 23 but I've enjoyed aging so far, looking like a grown man. The main downsides to aging seem to be physical pains and weakness, and possible balding in your 30s or so, unless the thing in your pic will keep my joints and bones 20 years old I don't care for it.
yes, im also not a westerner though. Whatever shit they are putting in your food that makes you look 14 until you are like 35 isnt a thing here, I look like an actual 23 year old man.

20x more stronger than retinol and it causes a bad rash if used concurrently with other acne products such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also causes a chemical like sunburn if not wearing sunscreen in the sun for not even 10 mins.

So what do you do about the rest of your skin? Do you rub tretinoin all over your body?
Take oral retinol
i moisturize like 3-4x a week and thats it. skin is almost always clear. didnt have any acne or bad skin growing up at all despite having shit hygiene/diet as a teenager. got lucky in this area
>i massage emulsified vegetable oil into my skin 3-4x a week
(you)
Moisturizer is worthless, does nothing to stall aging.
been taking this since I was 18. I'm almost 22 and people still guess 17
I don't want to look 20. I'm 32 and people still think I'm in my early 20s if i shave. My brother is 35 and actually looks more handsome than he ever did in his 20s.
As long as you aren't fat or bald your 30s are the best looks wise.
This is correct but unfortunately I've got a fricked NW3 hairline.
No, it doesn't
Cope
Where can you order it from?
From India saar
The doctor on prescription. Or in America you can get Differin/Adapalene OTC, a third generation retinoid cream. Oral retinol capsules are OTC as vitamin A.
>retinol
My instagram b***h types of flings exes and female friends are all on it. It's their last resort before botox.
At this point I'm convinced IST looksmaxxers are just "male" versions of insta foids. You all bunch of fools.
>At this point I'm convinced IST looksmaxxers are just "male" versions of insta foids. You all bunch of fools.
you would be right, anyone saying you arent is an idiot
They'll all die in the hyperinflation. It's all good.
Its not retinol though? Its much more powerful
>At this point I'm convinced
ffs anon, are you dense? Is anybody even denying this fact here? Do I look like I have any amount of integrity or shame?
>skin thread
I have a small amount of loose skin at the bottom of my pecs and belly from being obese as a teen, its not much but its enough to not have a flawless physqiue. Any advice? Will a few years of staying lean make it go away? 26 y.o
im 26 and still get acne / have red spots from old acne. I use an acne wash daily to twice daily, salycilic acid, and hyaluronic acid and moisturize with extra virgin olive oil I wash off so it doesnt clog my pores. Im about to take accutane. Being 26 and having acne albeit relatively mild is such bullshit
>using products instead of exercising and eating natural whole foods
For frick sake, just make carrots part of your daily nutrition. Also any homosexual buying whole separate bottles of vitmains instead of just getting a daily multi is a spastic 'health conscious' hipster homosexual sperg. Taking any vitamins at that level are so fricking stupid, you're literally paying for brightly colored piss & thats it. I take a centrum silver for ages 50+ twice a day and if I shave my beard I go from 40s to 20s and thats after nearly 2 decades of smoking. Why do tards on IST always shell uselessly high levels of supplements? Killing your kidney for nothing cause I guarentee none of ya'll are drinking enough water with this shit.
>tl;dr: Enjoy your kidney stones.
Such a dumb post, even dumber to make your stupidity into a virtue. Fricking idiot.
So do you use this at night and then apply moisturizer? And in the morning you need sunscreen every day? Does it help with visible pores/whiteheads?
Where can I get this shit without prescription? Is thebeautybliss legit? I'm also young in my early 20s, would this have any benefit? I have minor acne but nothing crazy, just a couple spots.
In Europe I just ordered from tretinoin.eu a few days ago we will see how it goes.
Probably overpriced but you're only supposed to use a pea sized amount 2-3 times a week so idc
I buy from them, they're legit
Use adapalene/differin OTC and oral retinol (unless you're a woman, then look into the preggo side effects first).
>(unless you're a woman
men can get pregnant too.
This shit fricked my skin. I used it only once and it made my skin red, swollen and irritated. I couldn't get out of the house for a month.
Is this bait? Did you not read anything beforehand? There is a purging phase you look worse the first 2 months and then you look great
he also probably used a higher dose than he was supposed to
if you want to baby mode this shit in start with a retinol first and then move on to a retinoid
>0.025%
stop being a pussy. I jumped right into 0.1% and it only dried up my lower eyelids a bit at first (probably applied too much of it there)
>i'm 33 and there's no turning back time
wtf do you want to turn back at 33? I started tret at almost 35 and I only had slight forehead lines
meant for
how long did it take to see improvements with 0.1?
few weeks for forehead lines to appear more shallow, but the skin started feeling smooth and not porous anymore much sooner. after a few months the dark circles under my eyes, which I had since childhood, are much lighter
are vit C serums worth it, or should I just stick to tret only?
I'm 30 and constantly get told I look 15 thanks to tret. I use it for reasons other than looks maxxing, but I can attest to its efficacy
>makes you look 20 years old
why would you want this? granted I am only 23 but I've enjoyed aging so far, looking like a grown man. The main downsides to aging seem to be physical pains and weakness, and possible balding in your 30s or so, unless the thing in your pic will keep my joints and bones 20 years old I don't care for it.
>looking like a grown man.
lmfao. youre 23.
yes, im also not a westerner though. Whatever shit they are putting in your food that makes you look 14 until you are like 35 isnt a thing here, I look like an actual 23 year old man.
>23 year old man.
lol. you look like a college kid.
OTC substitute?
retinoids/retinol
tertinoin is basically the end product of retinol or something like that
or just eat liver
also many moisturizers include retinol already so you don't need to worry about it if you use a good moisturizer brand
Adapalene/Differin is OTC in America. Otherwise retinol.
