    Since so many don't like the term anti-aging, I heard of this brilliant term called pro-aging but with the same thing in mind. Just realizing that aging is a privilege like you said. Love the video!

    Dr. Ellis I want to extend a BIG THANK YOU for the thoughtfully designed Prequel line. I have struggled with hormone changes recently and finding my regular routine products burn my skin all of a sudden and feeling at a loss. I am so happy I bought the products and I cannot tell you how much the barrier cream has healed my neck eczema and perimenopausal dry skin. The flare ups and burning are gone. The urea lotion and hypochlorous spray have also done wonders to clear my hormonal breakouts. And THANK YOU for the affordable Lucent-C and sunscreen! Love the brand focus on skin health and barrier repair with products that truly work and are super affordable. Really thankful! Keep up the good work!

    I recently tried the Gleanser and the Barrier Therapy moisturizer from Prequel. I absolutely love both of them! I’ve been using both of them daily. I’ve never found a vitamin C serum that my skin likes, but given how much I like what I’ve tried so far, I’ll definitely be giving the Lucent-C serum a try!

  • @SB_41

    Ok for anyone who hasn't tried the Prequel Lucent C product you may want to seriously consider getting it, it's a fantastic product, the formulation is perfection. Also I didn't see the Gleanser mentioned in this video, this is another Prequel product that is amazing and the formula, I've never tried anything like it, Honestly I don't want to rinse it off, I love it that much. So luxurious, and my skin is so so soft after using it, wow! Thanks for all you do, and all your FREE advice:)

    Strap in this is a long on.
    I have sensitive dry skin. I am 30, female, olive tone skin, never struggled with acne in all my teen years.
    In the last 6 months(winter in dry environment) I started washing my face in the evening with cetephil gentle cleanser (for normal to dry) then applying cockind ceramide serum, and last gentle lotion(dry to normal). I do dry with a new clean towel. That went well.
    Here's where the problem started...first of all, always washed my hands. I started wearing sunscreen regularly everyday.
    Most chemical gave a rash... I have olive completion, so tinted mineral is best, I guess.
    Eucerin sensitive mineral face, looked nice but made the skin above my top lip have a dry flaky rash. I think it was the straight Zinc 24%. I treated with Hydrocortisone.
    I have really like Cetaphil Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisterizer. It blends into my olive skin well. Feels nice and easy to reapply.
    In the evening I remove with gentle Micellar Cleansing Water and gentle clenser followed with ceremide serum and lotion.
    Since trying to wear spf lotion everyday I am breaking out with acne!
    I have several white heads and a few cystic, and even a stye....
    I have had dry skin all my life how could I possibly over mostrize!?!
    Help me wear sunscreen! 😩

      @DrSamEllis  4 місяці тому +1

      Oils can be used as moisturizers, but it’s not my personal preference because texturally I don’t like how oils feel on my skin. I would avoid use of oils in the morning because it may interfere with the efficacy of sunscreen.

    I adore you! I have been doing SO much research on retinoid for my 16 year old due to acne and post acne hyperpigmentation! We have a dermatologist appointment tomorrow but I was pretty set on starting differin but after this I am second guessing…..I guess the biggest question I have is would the retinoid you used work to clear up acne PLUS all the other great benefits you get from a retinoid?? Or is differen still the best best to deal with acne plus other benefits of retinoid!

    • @DrSamEllis
      @DrSamEllis  4 місяці тому

      For acne I typically base my recommendations on the current research and American Academy of Dermatology guidelines which both recommend adapalene (like Differin) or tretinoin as a starting retinoid for those specifically targeting acne. Hope that helps!

      @DrSamEllis  4 місяці тому

      If you can tolerate it there, it’s so beneficial to use on the neck! So it’s something to be cautious about, but if someone can do it there are benefits! This one is super gentle so it’s a good option if someone wants to venture onto their neck.

Seems like my face is always peeling but I want the benefits of the stronger one.

    What about peptides? I thought those were as important as retinoids.

      This is a beginner routine so it’s focused on the basics! I would say peptides are great but retinoids would be the priority for a skincare newbie!

    So for the oily skin girls in here… we could actually skip the moisturizer after that retinol at night? It seems moisturized enough🤔

      For most people, retinols are very drying to the face. Perhaps a light gel moisturizer would be enough for those with oily skin, but I wouldn't skip moisturizer completely, especially if you're trying to introduce a retinol into your routine

    Does it matter if u use a spf 30 or 50 .

    • @DrSamEllis
      @DrSamEllis  3 місяці тому +1

      If you’re not spending prolonged time outdoors, and we are just thinking about sunscreen as a daily protectant, then anything between 30 and 50 is great

    My prescription tube of tretinoin is cheaper than this product, and it can be used carefully to avoid irritation.

    • @DrSamEllis
      @DrSamEllis  4 місяці тому

      As someone who prescribes tretinoin many times a day, I would actually push back on that. Over the years, I have had many many patients who cannot tolerate tretinoin in any form, but still would like to incorporate a retinoid into their routine.

    I recently tried the Gleanser and the Barrier Therapy moisturizer from Prequel. I absolutely love both of them! I’ve been using both of them daily. I’ve never found a vitamin C serum that my skin likes, but given how much I like what I’ve tried so far, I’ll definitely be giving the Lucent-C serum a try!
