I love the music in the beginning. It reminds me of the "world music" that they would play on the plane stations when I would fly internationally. I would just snuggle into my seat with my earphones in with the music tuned to that station.
I was reflecting earlier today on some of your posts and came to the conclusion that you are a very good teacher. I am a teacher and think you have definitely found your niche for teaching!
Hi! Last night I watched all your videos about sunscreen, I have melasma and learned a lot! Just bought my elta md sunblock protection and really happy that I finally have the adecuate protection for my type of skin. Thank you so much, been learning a lot!
Loved the video!! I tell ya I think you looked adorable in that baseball cap with the little ponytail sticking out!! Too cute!! Yes I know about those falls, glad yours was not any worse than it was!! It was bad enough for sure! Thank you for a great video as always! HAPPY! THURSDAY!
I just started the cosrx mask. Love it! Another great recommendation. Ps don't you want to buy all the school supplies at costco?? So tempting but med school is over lol
Hi Dr. Dray, I just got my PCA pigment bar and tried it last night. I tend to freckle but developed hyper pigmentation along my jawline and hate it, so after watching your video on the product, I thought I’d give it a try. I really like the smell and that sponge was fun to watch expand. Lol. I was a little worried about using the sponge because my skin is also sensitive, but am gonna try it. I really enjoy your videos and am learning so much about labels and how to treat my skin better. Have a great weekend! 😁
I never use the sponge...i just use my finger pads. I am starting to really love the idea that the bar is in a jar rather than having a slippery scummy bar of soap floating around my bathroom
Thank you for another great video. I wear compression socks for my work everyday. I do cut out the foot part because its to much for me. I work in a busy kitchen 4 hours and hustle so it really helps.
Hi, Dr. Dray! I have a question. Is it important for the skin to "breath"? I mean, I wake up, wash my face and put on moisturizer and sunscreen, and than at night I wash it again and put on moisturizer and active ingredients, depending on how my skin feels that day and I wonder if I should take a day off of everything at night time, with no moisturizer what so ever. Are there any benefits from taking a day off? Thank you for sharing so much information!
I let the ocean potion set before applying a bit of foundation and I think its great! It works like a matte primer and it has allowed any foundation I put on to stay around for a while. It is a game changer and it doesn't require a lot of massaging into the skin. $ 4.99 is a great bargain.
Hi Dr. Dray, can you please talk about clarins product line. I am dying to hear your thoughts on this products line as they are expensive. Are they worth buying?
Love beets! Peel and roast them w olive oil kosher salt and pepper. Or boil and mash. How did you cook the yellow beets? Did you boils the greens mmmmmm delish . Love beet greens
Great video, thank you! Quick check in; I started using retin-a, luv the results, and I have minimized my skin care to a double cleanse at night with the application of retin-a and in the morning rinse my face with cool water and use sunscreen and moisturizer. It seems very minimal. I don't use any exfoliating methods. I stopped using zapzyt in the morning. Is this too minimal?
Hey Dr. Dray! I know you dont wear makeup, but I really want to hear your thoughts on makeup brands that claime to be beneficial for the skin, specifically Milk and Glossier.
Great vlog Ms Andrea! I’m very interested in that sunscreen! I’m hoping we don’t lose power in this hurricane so I can watch your upcoming videos! 🤙🏻❤️
You can buffer your treintoin with moisturizer and put it on your crows feet... just build it up slowly. Make sure to use sunscreen everyday around your eyes to prevent them from getting worse
Thanks for the explanation of the hyper pigmentation on the legs. I got a fire ant bite on the side of my big toe. It took the dark spot a almost a year to fade away. Thanks
I don’t know if you remember but I’m the one who asked you to do your first ingredient spotlight on Niacinamide. I still swear by it to brighten my skin and help with hyperpigmentation. I have switched from Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster to the 10% one from The Ordinary. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper and I get the same results. I will say that I get really good results using both it and Differin.
Hello Dr. I have a question for you the only source of vitamin D synthesis is from sunlight then if we use sunscreen would it affect our vit D synthesis?
Hi Dr. Dray! First off, thank you so much for all of your content. You’ve already helped me so much! I’ve been suffering with facial and body eczema for the past several years. Your recommendations have definitely helped calm it down quite a bit. I have some questions tho regarding my facial eczema. I’ve tried Cerave which my skin now reacts to. I’ve even had a bad reaction to eucerin. The vanicream lotion doesn’t seem to help - perhaps my skin is too dry. I do use the vanicream moisturizing cream which is good, but leaves my skin looking oily, especially my t-zone as the day goes on. Do you have any other recommendations for the face? I’ve also realized this year that sunscreens (I’ve tried elta, zinc based, etc) exacerbate and cause flare ups on my face. I’ve stopped wearing any and have resorted to hats when I’m outside and it seems to have calmed down somewhat. I’ve seen dermatologists, and have been prescribed both steroid cream and Eucrisa, but was just wondering your recommendation for daily maintenance without coming out with such an oily looking face!
I have flare-ups of eczema from time to time. What I do is use the topical steroid to make it go away. Then I make sure to maintain the result with a fragrance-free body lotion and hand cream- the more boring and less watery the better. But your problem is more chronic perhaps? I find that mineral exclusive sunscreen for kids is the least irritating and non-shiny sunscreen, but it does leave one hell of a white cast. In general, finding the right products is a long process of trial and error. ;(
You are so good about using Ibotta! I never see anything I really want/need and can't be bother for 25 cents on the basics. If you come up with an interesting concoction using the four sigmatic matcha +lions mane and ginger, let us know. I have a whole box, realized I don't really like matcha or ginger (weird phase I'm going through), and need a beverage that will camouflage the taste so I don't waste it. If you ever come across the Teeccino hazelnut faux coffee (made with herbs, got it from Vitacost for a better price than Whole Foods), you must try! It's a caffeine free coffee alternative that just hits the spot. Iced with a little hazelnut dairy free creamer, yum on a hot day.
It is really good in smoothies...it is good blended with water and a few tbs of applesauce, half a plum, and some cinnamon...very good ...no sweetener needed
I can't remember if I told you, the Geezer and I LOVE the dried beets crunched up on top of salad! Bliss! Haven't seen the white sweet potatoes locally, but inevitably they will make their way to Mississippi. Do they taste different from regular sweet potatoes? Finally the affordable time of year for cantaloupe. Two months ago, they were $3 or $4! Yikes. I envy you your Savoy cabbage. That's my favorite and I can't find it here. Have to get it in Tupelo. Sigh.
they do have a slightly different taste compared to the regular sweet potatoes....their skin is thinner and the potato is sweet, but not as sweet. I love my cabbage :) Happy Friday Ms Cindi :)
That's my favorite KeVita drink! However, the first time I had it I didn't realize it had caffeine, and I was up until 2 a.m.! Apparently, the ones that say "organic and energizing" have green coffee extract. :D
💖 Loving the natural sun drenched lighting in your new apartment! I wish joss and main shipped to Australia!! I need your desk in my life! PS: I have been prescribed Epiduo for my acne. Would love your thoughts on the product if you have time to reply 🌸
Dr. Dray, first off, thank you!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and allowing us to be a part of your life through your daily vlogs. You are an inspiration and your daily attitude and patience is something that I strive for. 😊 Lately, I have been having a lot of anxiety and it's beginning to manifest itself physically. I've been getting rashes and cold sores and was wondering if there's anything that I can do about it? Is there any ointment that I can put on it? I know that they are two completely different things, but because it's caused by anxiety is there any medication or topical meds that I can use?
Hi Dr Dray, after you remove the BHA, do you apply sunscreen to wet face? Or, do you let your face dry (with moisturizer on), and then put on the "SPF/UVA screen"
my sunscreen is my am moisturizer...i apply a layer to my wet face, as a moisturizer, then let it dry and then apply another layer to ensure the sunscreen ingredients set up properly
I feel so bad for teachers today. When I was in grade/jr high/high school they literally had everything. We had the magazine subscriptions in our classes. That Ocean Potion is my go-to. A jar of it sits in my car for touch ups. I love it.
I gashed my shin about a year ago. The hematoma hung around so long I was about to start charging it rent but it finally resolved. I think. Unfortunately, I was left with an oogly, hyperpigmented scar. Would compression stockings still help? Hydroquinone?
You look so cute in a baseball cap! Sorry about your leg. I have scars from a Bicondylar Tibial Plateau fracture and then the subsequent removal of the hardware. For the most part the lines have faded but the stitch marks themselves are dark. I may try some of these brightening tips and see what happens. I had given up since the appearance was the least of my concerns. I got two of the Bath and Body Works Autumn Candles and I just leave the lids off and it smells yummy! Fun vlog today! Have a great day!!! That huge wine glass would be a great goldfish bowl!! "Recoils in disgust off the skin!" 😂😂😂
Girl, I have a small place, but the ceilings are 15 footers. Now I know what the deal is with my disappearing candles. 😂 On the Kroger tip, I got their rebate coupons on paper, their in-app coupons, and ibotta trifecta on several items. It was a really good week over there. I even got several “ugly” green apples for super cheap. 👌
I have acne mostly on my forehead, every now and then they are surface white heads but usually it’s blackheads and just bumps. I used to use bp (acnefree) and it works great but my skin gets so irritated and dried out by it. So I switched to sa (murad) it does nothing for my acne. Do I need to use a better sa or use better moisturizers and switch back to bp?
try using bp in a wash form soley to the affected areas...lather, let set on skin for a few minutes, then rinse off and immediately apply a fragrance free moisturizer to the skin before it dries, so as to prevent excess dryness and irrtation
Hey dr.dray. I’ve been using the equate version of panoxyl cleansing bar with 10% Benzyl porixide every day for 2 weeks , morning and night and my acne has gotten worse . But I’ve seen comments that benzyl poroxide is suppose to do that at first to clear everything up , is that true and do you still think I should use it . Also I moisturize with equate moisturizing lotion but do you think that’s clogging my pores too? Thanks ❤️
I gifted you that Ocean Potion! I don't wear makeup - haha - so I don't worry about the occasional pilling, but I appreciate the matte finish. Sent that Skin In the Flesh by I Heart Guts plush. Maybe it'll come in handy for young clinic visitors. :D
Hi Dr Dray, I have a question for you. I bought this serum off of Amazon called admire my skin brightening lotion. It has 2 percent hydroquinoine, Kojic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and azealic acid. I like it but it makes me peel like crazy! My skin is not irritated but it’s peeling like crazy! Are all these acids too much?
Sarah Stroud stop scrubbing your skin to remove the peelies. It can lead to scaring and hyperpigmentation. be very gentle w your skin, let it finish peeling and healing on it's own.
I'm always slightly shocked by (and envious of) the cost of your produce. It's very difficult to grow most things where I live, plus it's an island, so everything has to travel a fair distance. A head of cauliflower goes up to $8-9 CAD in the winter.
Really wish I could find a mineral sunscreen that isn’t “matte” and doesn’t leave too much of a white cast. Any of the ones I’ve tried are so drying even with a moisturizer under it
I just want to thank you for all your information. Your skin is looking extremely well in this vlog! Please keep doing these vlogs. I have psoriasis and particularly loved that information from previous vlog
Ocean Potion has an affordable matte, fragrance free, combination sunscreen? Sign me up! I homeschooled, but not blaming the teachers. It’s a messed up system. My daughter is doing concurrent enrollment at the CC this year for her senior year. I’m almost done, happy but bittersweet.
I am puzzled why you reapply sunscreen each time you leave your car? Unless you are driving for hours and you have perspiration on your face that wore the lotion off why would reapply so often? Am I missing something? Love your videos and learn something new with each one. Keep them coming.
Was sweet to hear your comments about elementary teaching. I used to teach children but now teach teachers. I left TX in 2002 and am not familiar with the curriculum there currently. However, nationally, there is more focus on nonfiction text than ever before, likely prompting the Nat Geo subscriptions. Love your videos!
Might I suggest trying Swan Creek Candle Company? I've attached a link from their website with a list of their fragrances.. I've tried all kinds of candles and I keep coming back to these because they are just that good! I believe you can do a search of your area on their website to see where they are sold. Some of my favorite scents are the Roasted Espresso (which come in a sweet little coffee cup), Spiced Orange and Cinnamon, and Warm Cinnamon Buns. They have amazing seasonal scents for Christmas as well! www.swancreekcandle.com/frliandde.html
Please Dr. Dray, don't park by the cart depository, because most people, just fling the carts towards the depository and miss!! all the time and hit peoples' cars who are parked near them. I know I worked at Randall's in Bellaire, TX☺ Hate for you to have a scar on your car.🎆
Hi Dr Dray! There's a question that I would really appreciate if u could help answer - are there any evidence in skin care which contains cytokines/growth factors derived from the human bone marrow? These products include AnteAge, SkinMedica- are extremely expensive! Can u educate us about it? Thank you!
Thank u for your reply, Dr Dray. The question I asked you stemmed from this website: www.baredfacetruth.com which is a blog site managed by 2 doctors (with strong research backgrounds in diabetes & stem cell therapy) to educate the public & to bust any myths in the dermatologic/cosmeceutical field that is out there to lure money from the public. They did mention the evidence behind SkinMedical is poor...BUT... what I am confuse about is that they are the creators of “PROCELL” products in microneedling & also AnteAge products which they claim it’s evidence based medicine. If you look at their website, they seem legitimate, so what are the signs that you would look out for if their claim is invalid? Thank u kindly & look forward to ur advice😊
Dr. Dray you ARE a teacher, and an excellent one.
Signed,
An appreciative student

Dr. Dray, you're so pretty and your skin is flawless. ❤️💕💗

no, you dont need to take moisturizer off to let skin breath

The radish and purple potatoes sound yummy!
tasty!
Dr Dray have you tried Cassie's new inner thighs workout!? Omg😱
Dr dray do you still use in the morning a salacidyc acid cleanser with the pigment bar?
ahhh yessss. Always get so excited when I see a new Dr Dray Vlog on my feed!!
Happy Thursday :)
Yummm! My favorite kombucha is the peach and pineapple! Have a wonderful week!
good stuff
I love your hat and sunglasses combo. Must buy both
Thanks!
Hi Dr. Dray, can you please talk about clarins product line. I am dying to hear your thoughts on this products line as they are expensive. Are they worth buying?
Can you do a video on UV face shields??? Im curious what some good options are. Always worried about sun exposure during car rides.
I love that robe/top!! It is so pretty on you!
Thanks!
Love that robe on you...looks good. Hope you are having a wonderful morning 😀
Thanks! you too !
Dr Dray! You should consider making a drugstore dupes video for high-end skin care products!
Hi Dr. Dray, do you have an opinion on eating too much sugar and the effects of glycation on the skin
it contributes to aging of the skin
Very good information as usual. Always learn something new!
Thanks!
Love beets! Peel and roast them w olive oil kosher salt and pepper. Or boil and mash. How did you cook the yellow beets? Did you boils the greens mmmmmm delish . Love beet greens
me too! same way as red; yes
Great video, thank you! Quick check in; I started using retin-a, luv the results, and I have minimized my skin care to a double cleanse at night with the application of retin-a and in the morning rinse my face with cool water and use sunscreen and moisturizer. It seems very minimal. I don't use any exfoliating methods. I stopped using zapzyt in the morning. Is this too minimal?
you dont need to be irritated to be maintaining healthy skin
Hey Dr. Dray! I know you dont wear makeup, but I really want to hear your thoughts on makeup brands that claime to be beneficial for the skin, specifically Milk and Glossier.
they are not beneficial...i did use a milk lipstick once and liked it
Great vlog Ms Andrea! I’m very interested in that sunscreen! I’m hoping we don’t lose power in this hurricane so I can watch your upcoming videos! 🤙🏻❤️
stay safe ms anna!
Thank you!!
The Ocean Potion looks good on your skin; no white cast and not shiny just moisturized. Happy Thursday evening!
thanks! Happy thursday!
Loving my Tuscany lemon sugar cookie
that is such a good one!
Yes it is for sure
Hi dr dray, your skin looks beautiful...hell yes bring on fall ...x
Thanks Ms Paula!
Also ready for fall and cold weather here! 🙋♂️
so hot right now!
Can you do a video on treating crows feet since you really aren't suppose to use retinoids by your eyes? Thanks!
You can buffer your treintoin with moisturizer and put it on your crows feet... just build it up slowly. Make sure to use sunscreen everyday around your eyes to prevent them from getting worse
thanks rheaultm33!!
Thanks for the explanation of the hyper pigmentation on the legs. I got a fire ant bite on the side of my big toe. It took the dark spot a almost a year to fade away. Thanks
can take forever to fade
Love those cute pineapple tiles in your kitchen
they are reusable towels
Hello Dr Dray love your kimono

I got those petite potatoes medley multi color and cooked it the other day I roasted it with a yummy sauce we loved it
Just curious if you buy all organic foods and your view on pesticides along side that choice?
no, i dont
A quick ? For you . Can I mix a couple drops of olive oil in my face moisturizer to help with retin a peeling? I hope u answer I respect your advice
that doesnt add anything, no
Hello Dr. I have a question for you the only source of vitamin D synthesis is from sunlight then if we use sunscreen would it affect our vit D synthesis?

yes

the lack of respect and support they receive terrifies me
Dr.Dray what do you think about using Demelan Cream (Glycolic Acid/Arbutin/Kojic Acid) by Glenmark for PIH? Or should I just use 2% hydroquinone>?
kojic acid formulated w/ GA was shown to enhance its efficacy
Dr Dray what are your thoughts on the Obagi blender hydroquinone free product thank you as always for your wisdom
i am more confident in meladerm
I gashed my shin about a year ago. The hematoma hung around so long I was about to start charging it rent but it finally resolved. I think. Unfortunately, I was left with an oogly, hyperpigmented scar. Would compression stockings still help? Hydroquinone?
I realized they have the Rythm beet chips at Walmart I was excited I need to buy some and they had a carro my one it was I think it was orange color

nice cap. u look great today. enjoyed the vlog. hv a good day🍉.

Girl, I have a small place, but the ceilings are 15 footers. Now I know what the deal is with my disappearing candles. 😂 On the Kroger tip, I got their rebate coupons on paper, their in-app coupons, and ibotta trifecta on several items. It was a really good week over there. I even got several “ugly” green apples for super cheap. 👌
the ceilings are the worst! kroger has the best deals, and coupled with ibotta i have even gotten money for food, lol!
I saw True Lemon Lemon flavor at the Dollar Tree and thought of you. Do toy have Dollar Tree in Houston?
the one near me sucks, lol

Hey dr.dray. I’ve been using the equate version of panoxyl cleansing bar with 10% Benzyl porixide every day for 2 weeks , morning and night and my acne has gotten worse . But I’ve seen comments that benzyl poroxide is suppose to do that at first to clear everything up , is that true and do you still think I should use it . Also I moisturize with equate moisturizing lotion but do you think that’s clogging my pores too? Thanks ❤️
best to follow up with your treating physician regarding flaring acne. bp is drying and can be irritating
Dr Dray so do you think I should stop using Benzyl poroxide
Melanie Calero No, she said to see a dermatologist and to let them tell you what to do. She can't advise you well without seeing you in person.
Melanie Calero Try using the BP every other day or one of every 3 days to let your skin rest while you wait to see the derm.
Is the PCA bar safe for rosacea? I know you mentioned sandalwood fragrnece...
no
I fell on my knee as well and have a dark spot as well as a hematoma it feels lumpy and bumpy still 😩
Have a wonderful day 😄❤❤❤
you too!
I gifted you that Ocean Potion! I don't wear makeup - haha - so I don't worry about the occasional pilling, but I appreciate the matte finish. Sent that Skin In the Flesh by I Heart Guts plush. Maybe it'll come in handy for young clinic visitors. :D
I really wish that it came in a huge tube! I go through so many tubs!
thanks!! I got both! There was no return address, so sorry no thank you card...but thank you so much love the skin plush! :)
Yes I have that same issue like u on my knees
stays around awhile
Hi Dr Dray, I have a question for you. I bought this serum off of Amazon called admire my skin brightening lotion. It has 2 percent hydroquinoine, Kojic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and azealic acid. I like it but it makes me peel like crazy! My skin is not irritated but it’s peeling like crazy! Are all these acids too much?
when you find yourself saying "i bought this serum off of amazon"...just stop right there and dont move forward
Dr Dray I know right!! My skin is peeling like a darn snake shedding it’s skin!! I literally have to scrub my skin off twice a day!!😀😀
Sarah Stroud stop scrubbing your skin to remove the peelies. It can lead to scaring and hyperpigmentation. be very gentle w your skin, let it finish peeling and healing on it's own.
Rough afternoon! Sipping on some hot tea, meyer lemon and a pinch of brain dust.
:) hope the day got better
Finally I don’t need to get the drunk elephant..thanks Doc..happy Thursday 😘😘
:)
What was the one only mentioned in this video Tuscany creme brûlée?
cafe mocha
K thanks going to buy that next 😊
My local grocery store (Giant Eagle) has Tuscany candles! I’m waiting for them to go on sale. 😉
they are so good!
Is kojic acid and kojic root the same?
no...it is made by several species of fungi and is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake
Can those sleeves be worn by guys, I want some
yes
Dima Andro There are men that wear compression sleeves for workouts, it looks basically the same, just try to get some with UV protection if you can
I'm always slightly shocked by (and envious of) the cost of your produce. It's very difficult to grow most things where I live, plus it's an island, so everything has to travel a fair distance. A head of cauliflower goes up to $8-9 CAD in the winter.
that is one of the many reasons i love living here, lol
Really wish I could find a mineral sunscreen that isn’t “matte” and doesn’t leave too much of a white cast. Any of the ones I’ve tried are so drying even with a moisturizer under it
try uv clear
Why don’t you use conditioner after you shampoo you’re hair ?
no point
my hair texture is such that it is not helpful or necessary...however, for other hair textures and hair styling habits it is very helpful
Four stigmatics is a good product but dosage is kind of low
I just want to thank you for all your information. Your skin is looking extremely well in this vlog! Please keep doing these vlogs. I have psoriasis and particularly loved that information from previous vlog
Thanks Ms Vivian!
What’s the song name in the beginning?
Dr dray will be 100 years old with not a wrinkle in sight with all that sunscreen lol beautiful skin 😩
:)
“Speaking of frat boys...” 😉😆🤣🤣
lol
I have had a few falls too myself lol
not fun
Yes for sure stays for a long long tine
Oh how I wish there was smell-o-vision for that candle scent to waft through the screen 😂
:)
Be sure to let us know right away regarding any medical complications that prevents you from continuing retinA 🐣
Ocean Potion has an affordable matte, fragrance free, combination sunscreen? Sign me up! I homeschooled, but not blaming the teachers. It’s a messed up system. My daughter is doing concurrent enrollment at the CC this year for her senior year. I’m almost done, happy but bittersweet.
it is unfortunate
Happy Thursday Dr Dray 💖🥂
Happy Thursday :)
I am puzzled why you reapply sunscreen each time you leave your car? Unless you are driving for hours and you have perspiration on your face that wore the lotion off why would reapply so often? Am I missing something? Love your videos and learn something new with each one. Keep them coming.
sun comes in through the window and sunscreen wears off, it needs to be reapplied to be effective, period
Was sweet to hear your comments about elementary teaching. I used to teach children but now teach teachers. I left TX in 2002 and am not familiar with the curriculum there currently. However, nationally, there is more focus on nonfiction text than ever before, likely prompting the Nat Geo subscriptions. Love your videos!
I love teachers!
Might I suggest trying Swan Creek Candle Company? I've attached a link from their website with a list of their fragrances.. I've tried all kinds of candles and I keep coming back to these because they are just that good! I believe you can do a search of your area on their website to see where they are sold. Some of my favorite scents are the Roasted Espresso (which come in a sweet little coffee cup), Spiced Orange and Cinnamon, and Warm Cinnamon Buns. They have amazing seasonal scents for Christmas as well! www.swancreekcandle.com/frliandde.html
I need to try these! I watch Melanie (mr Kong's mom) review these and they always sound so nice !
We have that same giant giant wine glass at our Costco too ☺️
Always happy to accompanying you grocery shopping ,happy Thursday!!
@A Way LoL 😊
That thing is huge!
@@DrDrayzday that's just too much wine 😳
I know someone that that large glass would be perfect for! I bet the cost of shipping would be too high to get it to NZ though :)
💗❤️😘
:)
Please Dr. Dray, don't park by the cart depository, because most people, just fling the carts towards the depository and miss!! all the time and hit peoples' cars who are parked near them. I know I worked at Randall's in Bellaire, TX☺ Hate for you to have a scar on your car.🎆
there is no safe spot in that particular lot from flinging carts...they are everywhere, irrespective of the coral
I was thinking the exact same thing! I avoid the trolley bays like the plague!!
Hi Dr Dray! There's a question that I would really appreciate if u could help answer - are there any evidence in skin care which contains cytokines/growth factors derived from the human bone marrow? These products include AnteAge, SkinMedica- are extremely expensive! Can u educate us about it? Thank you!
no...this is pretty gimmicky and you shouldnt waste your money on that in my opinion
Thank u for your reply, Dr Dray. The question I asked you stemmed from this website: www.baredfacetruth.com which is a blog site managed by 2 doctors (with strong research backgrounds in diabetes & stem cell therapy) to educate the public & to bust any myths in the dermatologic/cosmeceutical field that is out there to lure money from the public. They did mention the evidence behind SkinMedical is poor...BUT... what I am confuse about is that they are the creators of “PROCELL” products in microneedling & also AnteAge products which they claim it’s evidence based medicine. If you look at their website, they seem legitimate, so what are the signs that you would look out for if their claim is invalid? Thank u kindly & look forward to ur advice😊
