retinoids are actually anti-aging, but sunscreen is still the most important

The answer is sometimes. SkinCeuticals has a patent on their lipid formulation in their moisturizer, so literally no other company can copy their exact formula. That's why they charge $130 per bottle.

All you need apart from any gentle moisturiser and cleanser is 1. Sun protection 2. Tretinoin . Almost everything else is just a waste of money

As it says at the end of the video. The most effective skincare is the one you'll (consistently) use. If you hate an SPF with a thick texture and white cast you won't use it. If you don't have the patience to use a dedicated retinol serum, you might find a dual use moisturiser/retinol that you will.

But did they test using random cheap skincare and random expensive skincare? Or did they pick exactly what they knew to be most effective because they are professional dermatologists?

no, azelaic acid and tret/taz are the best topical skincare products and they're cheap as chips

It’s mostly about marketing! Keep it cheap (vanicreme is amazing), use spf everyday and get an effective cheap retinol. That’s it!

Vanicream face wash and moisturizer, azailic acid and/or vitamin c in the morning, tretinoin at night. Add in the la Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 cream or diaper cream on your face overnight a couple of times a week.

Human stem cell is better for wrinkles than retinol, retinol is too strong and harsh on the skin.
