My Return to Tretinoin at 72 - Skincare Empties After 60 Repurchase or Not?  @MaryEllenAfter60
Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Today I’m sharing my skincare empties, what I’ll be repurchasing, what I won’t, and a change I’ve recently made. Over time, I’ve found myself using fewer products, not more. I’ve never had any cosmetic procedures. Everything I do is something I can do at home, by myself, and that’s what I share here. I think that comes from staying with a routine long enough to really see what’s working, along with the addition of red light therapy. Some of the products I’ll mention are ones I’ve used for quite a while. Others are ones I’ve decided to let go of, not because they weren’t good, but because I no longer feel I need them. I’ve returned to using tretinoin after taking a break for about 17 months, and I’ll talk a little about why I made that decision.
