  • “Because I've applied serums beforehand, it helps to allow this product to spread a little bit better across the skin”16:20–16:25
  • “If you're a beginner and you've never used this before, do not go over your lips, don't go underneath your eyes, and try to stay away from the corners of your mouth also because these areas are prone to irritation and even cracking”17:06–17:10
  • “Been there, done that many years ago, and it wasn't comfortable”17:17–17:24
  • “The neck is a really sensitive area for a lot of people, and so if you're a beginner, you may not be able to use this on your neck at first”17:02–17:06
  • “I actually trained my neck with regular retinol creams, and then as the years went on, then I started to incorporate the tretinoin just a little bit”17:58–18:02

  • “It's well worth it because every time you remove those flakes, your skin just looks glowier. You have this brightness to your skin”11:04–11:11

  • “I do like to pair this up with the Allies of Skin growth factors. This pairing is exceptional”10:22–10:26
