“If you want something stronger than retinol but you're not ready for a prescription, there are formulations with retinaldehyde, which is a nice middle ground. It sits one conversion step closer to the active form, so it's a little more potent, but it's still often more gentle than prescription tretinoin. There's a really good option from Avène.”
▶6:24“There's also Avène. Avène tends to be less expensive there as well. They're going to have slightly different formulations and ingredients, but overall it's the same brand, so effective formulations. You may notice some differences like the texture, but overall they have some great options as far as what's available there.”
▶2:48“When it comes to figuring out what gentle products to use during and after accutane, my favorite skincare brands to use [...] are Cetaphil, Cerave, Vanicream, La Roche Posay, and Avène. These brands make great moisturizers as well as gentle cleansers. I wouldn't look for any kind of exfoliating cleanser, just stick with gentle soothing cleansers.”
