Hi ladies,
Some want larger nipples/areola's, other smaller. It is really just a personal preference.
I wanted smaller nipples and areola's, because I feel it looks more youthful. And I had came up with a method myself that I have been trying out the last 4 months with surprising succes.
I put a little bit of Tretinoin cream 0.05% on my nipples and areola's at night.
So far they have schrunken 0.4 cm.
Especially the last month I see they are getting smaller faster.
Tretinoin has been around for almost 40 years, and was originally used as an anti acne treatment.
Soon doctors found out that their patients started to look really good in terms of reduced aging, and now after decades of lots of scientific studies, it is basically known as the best anti aging topical treatment in the world.
Since it changes the surface of your skin so drastically, it is only given by a doctors prescription.
You can easily get it from your doctor/GP/Dermatologist if you are suffering from acne. Just ask for it. (For once in your life: woohoo for having acne!^^)
If you are not suffering from acne, I know that in the United States, dermatologists sell this to people who want to reduce skin aging on their face. But I think in Europe the dermatologists will laugh at you if you ask it for this purpose and kick you out.
As a third option, I know that some people get it from ebay or other not so legal routes. I have no idea how, but I know it is possible.
If you can't get Tretinoin, you can always try Retinol, which is less effective as tretinoin, but nontheless a small amount (not exactly sure how much), gets converted to Retin-A.
Tretinoin= Retin-A
Retinol gets converted to Retinaldahyde, and Retinaldahyde gets converted to Retin-A (Tretinoin)
The conversion rate of retinol to tretinoin is low, but it is there still. It might take a year or longer with retinol to get the same effect if applied everyday consistently.
I applied the tretinoin also consistently everyday (unless my skin was so damaged that it needed some healing).
This Tretinoin stuff is no joke btw! It is quite hard on the skin, my nipples and areola's skin started flaking, being really red, feeling like a sunburn and got super dry. This lasted about 2 months, after it got used to it more. I could have taken it more easy, but I didn't mind the flaking or discomfort, since noone besides me was seeing them anyway ;)
I used Cerave pm lotion to sooth it.
My nipples and areola's feel really soft now, and are a lot smaller. I will see what the future holds :)
I hope this method may help anyone of you out there who want smaller nipples by a non-surgical method.
Love, Ellen
P.s.
Please do not use this when you are breastfeeding or when you are pregnant, or want to become pregnant. It is a vitamin A, and that is bad for the baby or fetus.
Also if you want retinol, please don't buy $100 retinol creams, because retinol is retinol. Nomatter what label you put on.
A good serum with one of the highest retinol concentrations I have found is: 2.5% retinol by Enchanted Waters, it is a company from Ebay and they sell worldwide. It is the cheapest and effective retinol I have found.
I used that years before tretinoin, on my face, works pretty good.
