@@DrAlexisStephens Hello Dr. i am using Lactic Acid 5% the Ordinary for hyperpigmentation on my nose but it is not helping, what would be the problem? My skin type is DRY
@@DrAlexisStephens I have a question doc. I'm a black male. I went to the Shrine Auditorium in 2019 before the pandemic and they had a Sephora giveaway. They were giving away chemical peels by Alpha Beta peeling quotidien formula intense. It's Alpha Beta Extra Strength daily peel. By Dr Dennis gross. The expiration date is April 2022. Should I even bother trying to use them now or should I just throw them in the trash? They've never been opened.
@@DrAlexisStephens thanks for incorporating this. It shows you care about your audience and that some people may be in a hurry on their lunch break and looking for a key part of information ❤ you’re the greatest!!
I feel down the TikTok info hole... So glad I was able to shake it off and come back to real information.... Thank you so much!!! I genuinely appreciate you!
Girl, your skin is so good its more than just topical! IDC IDC IDC!! lol diet and any other cosmetic treatments a dermatologist will have access to. I mean, this skin is EVERYTHING! Perfection. A girl can only dream.
I told my husband I was taking skincare advice from her videos and walkthroughs and he was like “if you are taking product advice from anyone- it’s HER!”
Love how you present the facts and give detailed explanations! I love lactic acid as my aha and use along with a 2 % bha. I only exfoliate 1x a week… using retinol 5 days and one day of recovery.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I just turned 50 and needed to revamp my skincare routine. With so many products on the shelves, it’s hard to know what to is necessary and what’s not. Thank you for the informative videos. They have helped me make informed decisions that I feel confident about. I look forward to future videos.
I'm so glad that you mentioned using a separate and stronger exfoliate on your body. I've recently bought the L'Oréal 10% pure glycolic acid and the Amlactin 15% lactic acid lotion. I have KP on my legs (mostly) and my arms. Right now I just alternate days. But I also would like to get a retinoid to use as well. And was thinking of using a stronger retinoid for the skin on my legs. Actually I'd like to have an in office chemical peel but on my face, arms and legs. I haven't heard of full body chemical peels that much but I'm sure they are being done. Btw, your videos are always very informative.
Thank you!! I have been using BHAs and retinol on my dry, acne-prone, sensitive skin thinking each exfoliant works the same way. This video will be a game changer for me!
@Melinda Penny Skin of color needs to be careful with glycolic Acid, we can burn our skin very easily with it. I only use glycolic acid 1xweek. I changed from 10 % lactic acid to 5%. The 10% was getting too strong after a while.
OMG, thank you for this breakdown. Literally a lightbulb went off in my head with this video. I have dry dry skin and I have been using a BHA exfoliant & wondering why my skin was extra dry on those days. I should be using a mandelic exfolliant ..😮😊😊
Dr. Alexis, you recommended Azelaic acid for hyperpigmentation and breakouts, wanted to thank you! I’ve been using it for two years straight since I watched a video from you and my skin is completely clear and glowing!!! It’s also helped me to simplify my skin care routine. I’ve recently incorporated tranexamic acid and *chefs kiss*. Thank you
I first started using the Naturium one, and saw fantastic results, and then I used Finacea which was a bit stronger but once my skin got used to it, it was even better! Now currently I use the FaceTheory A15 one, because I’m in Canada and it’s easier / faster to get than Finacea! Hope this helps. Also, my skin type is dark skin, dry-balanced, and I dealt with a lot of hormonal breakouts, hyperpigmentation. large pores and congestion.
I have tried The Ordinary, Naturium and Versed because of your reccomendations! Thank you so much! I've used Maleic Acid and I think I'm ready to take it up a notch with Lactic.
Hi, do you have sensitive skin, I’m asking since you said medallic acid, I have sensitive, oily and acne prone skin. And the video didn’t cover that only sensitive, dry and oily. How did the Mandalic acid work for u? Pleas reply me 🙏🏾
@@alananice9179 I have dry and sensitive skin. I would try the maleic acid. I didn’t have any reaction to it at all. I did begin using the lactic acid at 5% but only once a week and I sometimes apply it between moisturizer layers.
Dr. Stephens please do a video on aging sagging skin (especially the Chin and Neck after weight lost), what to do to improve it, when to be seen professionally or best lasers or instruments to use for it in Med Spas?
Love your videos. If you could do a video on preteens skin care I would GREATLY appreciate that. My son is young but coming up on those adolescent years and I'd really like to get him started on the healthiest skin care routine I possibly can!!
I just got the urban skin rx pads in the mail the other day. My skin feels so nice! I’ve used mandelic acid peels and wanted to try something different. I cut it in half too 🙃 so I have twice as many treatments. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@friedchicken892 I’ve used Makeup Artist Choice for yearrrsssss. I used the 15% mandelic peel first and then moved to 25%. It’s been very helpful and gentle and you may see skin flakes (but not a reptile peel). On my off days I use a fade cream with niacinimide, Palmers has one that works nicely! Good luck!
Can you do a video on Face Theory skincare line? The niacinamide with azelic acid are form together in one bottle can you talk about different products of there? Which line of skincare do you advise the most Top three? Thank you
Thank you so much for all of the information. I am an esthetician of color and love this page. I would love some more information on body treatments and chemical peels.
I don’t know what is it about you or more likely everything about you is so enjoyable to watch. I’m new to your channel and I think I’m gonna stay. Subscribed. 🥰
Overwhelmed by all the information, great information but I am lost 😞 I am 57 years young and I abused the sun at my younger years. I would like to get rid off 2 hyperpigmentations on my face and get it like this beautiful Dr…. Could it be possible????
Are you familiar with Black Girl Sunscreen?? It's so much to choose from and you sum all of it up in such a short time. I need something for a mature 50 y/o woman of color for myself. Any recommendations
Please could you make a video recommending best products for people with eczema ( face and body ) not just for moisturizing but like with hyperpigmentation and aging?
Hi Dr. Stephens. I’ve been following for about a year now and learned alot of great tips. I created a day and night time routine based on products that you recommended. Please tell me if my current morning and nighttime routine is on the right track or if there are too many acids in my morning routine etc. Fyi my main skin concerns are hyperpigmentation and dull skin. Thank you!🙏🏿 AM: 1) Cyspera (15 minutes) 2) Glytone .5 Salicylic acid cleanser 3) kiehl's ferulic brew lactic acid essence 4) Vitamin C serum (L ascorbic acid) 5) Avene RetrinAL advance correcting serum 6) Eadem cloud cushion brightening moisturizer 7) MDsolarsciences Mineral BB Crème SPF 50 PM: 1) Gentle foaming cleanser 2) Avene Spring water mist 3) Ultimate Growth Factor Serum 4) Avene RetrinAL intensive cream .1 5) EADEM cloud cushion brightening moisturizer 6) Urban Skin Rx Hydranutrient Radiance Restore Oil

Hi Dr. Stephens! Thank you so much for all of the info you provide. I do have a future request for you to consider. Could you do a series of videos specifically for teens?
Hey....Hope all is well with the family.....I don't exfoliate....I just used the elf superfood toner....but I want to start exfoliating Thank you for the video
I really like the AnteAge MD Brightener and pair it with Dearskin Tranex Dear Serum as you recommended. What do you think of the AnteAge MD growth factor serum?
DR. Stephens, thanks so much for the informative video. From this and other of your videos, I learn a lot about taking care of my skin. I am using Retino-A 0.05% almost every night. My question is whether the exfoliation would do my skin even better, or should I stay out from it? Thanks for your professional advice.
Can you please make a video regarding lighter patches on the skin? So like hyperpigmentation but instead of darker patches, you have lighter one. Please
Can you please do a video on medical tattooing. More specifically the ink and inkless camouflaging techniques, pro's and con's of getting them, and why AA people are more susceptible to getting keloids? Lol i know that was a mouth loud 😅 But look forward to watching more of your amazing and informative videos!
OK seriously though. This was sooo damn informative. I didn't even kbow half of this. Soo ya I saved this video to my skincare Playlist so I can go back rewatch to re-inform myself...(less mistakes that way) 😂 thank you!
Hello Dr. Stephens. I really enjoy your channel. Can u answer a question? Do you know any good products an individual can purchase to help with Festoons? I’m not trying to do any laser or fillers, so I’m hoping there’s some products a person can purchase with this issue. Again, thanks for the great information u give. Have a bless day.
Thanks Dr Alexis,I live in England and find it difficult to get the products you recommend,however I will be travelling to theUS soon.Where can I get these products please. I watch your channel often and find your information very helpful.
Dr Drey just did a video saying not to do this and they bottle says not to as well. Try The Ordinary 5% or 10% i have seen great results and then I put a moisturizer over top.
I don't recommend using Amlactin on the face but it is a great option for the body. Skinfx makes a great moisturizer for the face that has lactic acid. Hope this helps!
I know of many patients who like the Dennis Gross pads. Unfortunately they don't list the percentage of the glycolic, lactic, salicylic, or mandelic acid so its hard for me to recommend without that info.
Thank you for this video, Doctor! 🙏🏽💗 Can you do a video specifically about how to restore skin after 25 years of severe chronic eczema from head-to-toe? That's my situation. I am Canadian and live in Canada. I have bad hyperpigmentation all over my body from the skin trauma from eczema. I'm at least 2 shades darker than my natural complexion and I absolutely hate the greyish hue hyperpigmentation tends to have on my skin. My eczema is under control (I'm not scratching anymore), but now I'm dealing with the aftermath of the mess it made on my skin. The dermatologists in my province in Canada are useless!!! All they do is diagnose you with Eczema and try to push topical steroids on you (which destroy your skin in the end) - and otherwise you're on your own to suffer and figure it out on your own. My eczema was life altering. It was a nightmare. People do not understand how bad eczema can be, how long it can last for and how much it can hinder your life. The skin is the largest organ of the body....think of burn victims....when the burns are severe enough and cover too much of their body, they pass away. Do you do international consultations? Because I really would appreciate talking to a P.O.C. dermatologist about my skin issues from eczema.
Would really like to know your thoughts on sunscreens. As far as I knew, I thought their wasn't any difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens? Mineral sunscreens tend to have white cast on me and I have tried a lot of them that claim to have no or little cast but its way too noticeable.
Have you tried The Black Girl Sunscreen? The original one is a hybrid sunscreen (both mineral and chemical) and the kids version is 100% mineral. The Purito Daily Go To Sunscreen is also a hybrid suncreen as well. All are loved by many. From what I have read and got from other vids like this, Chemical sunscreens are sunscreens that leave no white cast, but can give sensitive skinned ppl irritation. Which is why they may prefer mineral ones, even tho they do tend to give a white cast. Hybrid ones can help w that dilemma of dealing w white cast, but also being sensitive. Would also like to hear her thoughts tho.
Dr dray compares the two in one of her videos, check that one out. I use the ordinary and it works really well without any irritation for me… $8 a bottle ensures I’ll keep using it long term. PC is expensive, not sure it’s really any better.
Which one would you recommend for hyper-pigmented combination skin (my oily area is my T-zone)? Also can the ordinary glycolic acid be used every night?
I love all your videos .I have same colour like you and I didn't never use skin care product .what kind of skin product u recommend can you help me please am know 30.thanks
Hey! I loved that you told us in the end that we shouldn’t use retinol and a chemical exfoliant on the same night, but can you use vitamine c and a chemical exfoliant on the same day?
Can you please make a video about festoons, malar mounds and malar creases? I’m only seeing that surgical treatment and fillers are the only way to help.
Thank you for this video. I was thinking of starting an exfoliating in my skin care routine, but wasnt sure how to. Is it okay to use benzoyl peroxide to cleanse before exfoliating? Or should I go for something gentler? I have oily acne prone skin.
I'm not even saying this to flatter her or anything,but she is absolutely gorgeous. She is Stunning ❤️

What type of lactic acid are you using? Isn't glycolic acid stronger than lactic acid?

Yes glad I watched this bc I just bought the glycolic ordinary but another dermatologist said that brand wasn’t good for POC.

From what I have read and got from other vids like this, Chemical sunscreens are sunscreens that leave no white cast, but can give sensitive skinned ppl irritation. Which is why they may prefer mineral ones, even tho they do tend to give a white cast. Hybrid ones can help w that dilemma of dealing w white cast, but also being sensitive. Would also like to hear her thoughts tho.
What do you think of the Murad clarifying peel?
Which would you recommend? Paula's Choice Exfolient peel or The Ordinary's Peeling Solution.
Dr dray compares the two in one of her videos, check that one out. I use the ordinary and it works really well without any irritation for me… $8 a bottle ensures I’ll keep using it long term. PC is expensive, not sure it’s really any better.
Which one would you recommend for hyper-pigmented combination skin (my oily area is my T-zone)? Also can the ordinary glycolic acid be used every night?
Have hyperpigmentation/oily in tzones also.. she didn’t mention🤷🏽♀️
Love your channel.Thank you for this great content.
I wish your Practice, was here in Chicago ... 😊
Is chemical peel better for acne prone skin especially on the face OR glutathione injections?
Hi Dr. Stephens! Should I use mandelic acid to treated dark marks caused by wearing glasses?

Hey! I loved that you told us in the end that we shouldn’t use retinol and a chemical exfoliant on the same night, but can you use vitamine c and a chemical exfoliant on the same day?
Can I use mandelic acid as a treatment in combination with tranexamic in my normal daily routine?
Thank You doctor for this as a lit of YT will not tell us. I always ask them what are you putting on your face to make your skin moist or oily look
Can you please make a video about festoons, malar mounds and malar creases? I’m only seeing that surgical treatment and fillers are the only way to help.
What's your recommendation for Sunscreen? Woc
Thank you for this video. I was thinking of starting an exfoliating in my skin care routine, but wasnt sure how to. Is it okay to use benzoyl peroxide to cleanse before exfoliating? Or should I go for something gentler? I have oily acne prone skin.
