#127 Skin barrier dysfunction & tretinoin with Natalie Martin

If tretinoin wasn't on your radar before this episode, it will be now! Tretinoin is a prescription-strength topical cream or gel. It's used mainly to treat acne, sun-damaged skin, and fine wrinkles… But it has some nasty side effects! Sold as the “miracle” cream, today we cover why it can be damaging and some other alternatives to taking medicated skin treatments.   I would love to know your thoughts inside the Gut Health Solutions Facebook group on high strength (or any strength vitamin A cream) and what your experience has been!   Nat & I cover: Root causes of skin dysfunction Skin & time frames Impairment of the skin barrier 3 layers of the skin barrier How to heal the skin barrier Adverse reactions to skincare Negligent prescribers Alternatives to medicated treatments What to look for in skincare See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
