great content as always. It would be helpful to also clarify order of applying products. E.g., peptides serum (no copper) before or tretinoin? 2% BHA serum before or after peptides, hydroquinone - any rules? etc. Maybe part 2 is needed, such an important topic.
Excellent educational content, as always! Watching your videos has made me a more knowledgeable consumer of skincare products/procedures in an easily understandable way. Thank you!
I love the comparison between working out and skin actives! I love to combine my retinol, Vit C, and exfoliants but took me a while and sometimes confused when hearing these combination "myths" as hard fast rules. Great video!
I’m curious about this too. I really like azelaic acid for acne prone, sometimes sensitive skin, it is effective and gentle. I use Naturium 10% azelaic serum, one of the least expensive products I have that really helps my skin. I have read that azelaic layers well with everything, but would love to hear from Dr Kappel on this one.
@ I’ve seen a Dr dray video saying it’s fine as well as long as you let the azelaic acid film set down then put the tretinoin on ! Just wanted another opinion
Dr Kappel! First of all, thank you so much for the Wells of information you provided to us! I really appreciate it! ❤ Question: I didn’t hear you talking about vit C serum and lactic acid interaction. So, I assume it’s okay to use them in the same morning routine? And thank you in advance
I tried and really liked both the MDAire Vit C and Retinol products a lot, the vitamin C was especially nice and unique. I’m a ridiculous skincare junkie, so I have tried a lot! They are expensive, but I may switch to them when I finish my current stuff.
Thank you for the kind words! I love our Vitamin C and the results can be felt pretty quickly. And the RXR retinol is really a non irritating formula for being 1%. I think they are so good together.
18:50 I'm having difficulty finding a l-ascorbic acid serum and a retinol or retinal that doesn't stain my skin orangey yellow. I used to use Avene Oxitive A night peel (a light flesh coloured cream) but it was discontinued and unavailable online where I live. Now I use The Ordinary retinal but it's bright yellow. As for vitamin Cs, they all tend oxidise on my skin. I tried Proparia and my fingernails went brown! My budget doesn't extend to high end skin care and I'm wondering if anyone is in the same boat here. I intend to switch to Dr Kappel's range when I can but need something else right now. Thank you Dr Kappel and to everyone else who contributes to this community.
When it comes to vitamin c and copper peptides not playing well together, does that apply to all forms of vitamin c? Or only the active ascorbic acid form? Is it ok to combine inactive/ester/derivative forms of vitamin C with copper peptides? Or do we need to stay away from ANY form of vitamin c when using copper peptides?
Thank you for another interesting video Dr. Kappel. I notice that more and more "rule of thumb" is making its way into the public dialogue (from media). Rule of Thumb comes from an early legal definition of the thickness a whip was permitted to be to beat a man's wife when she was behaving badly. The thickness of his thumb. I think you might want to drop that expression from your vocabulary!
I don’t think we have any specials in February- however if you sign up for my email list (I send blogs and more educational content) you can receive a discount on your first order!

Very helpful! I love learning about how actives work together!
Thank you for your insightful videos ❤❤
What’s your opinion on layering azelaic acid 15% gel and tretinoin 0.1% together at night? I have 2 separate prescriptions

I use lactic acid and vitamin c every morning. Does it matter the order with these two? Thanks❤

Do you recommend any pH test strips or anything to figure out layering?

Wow! I had no idea
What about clindamycin?
Hi Dr. Kappel…very informative and educational. I’m researching your line of skincare. Will there be any February specials on any of your products?
I don’t think we have any specials in February- however if you sign up for my email list (I send blogs and more educational content) you can receive a discount on your first order!
Could I pair growth factors with stem cells or retinal?
What are your favorite in office medium depth chemical peels?
VI Peel is awesome!
You’re so damn beautiful! Ugh
Thank you
