I don't buy any skin care any more until I check out your opinion on YT. its like having a dermatologist on call! Thank you so much for keeping us informed. There is SOOOO much overpriced crap out there.
I love these videos and am so glad there is a dermatologist like you on UA-cam that doesn’t encourage expensive and unnecessary skin care items. Thanks for the recommendations!
These 'shop with me' videos are my favourites. I am a former product junkie and your videos have been my rehab. LOL My skin is very happy with a simple routine (Hydroboost, Cerave, SPF and RetinA) Very grateful for you educating us and your recommendations.
Yep I used to go buying around any promising products base on people's hyping at the moment of release etc now I'm very minimalist with my routine and her videos are part of my mindset recovery
I LOVE the banana boat simply protect sunscreens. Yesterday, a friend said to me, “what highlighter are you wearing on your cheekbones? It looks so nice!” I was like, “girl, it’s my sunscreen.” 🤣🤣 I gave her my backup bottle. Hey, whatever gets someone to start wearing sunscreen, right?
ALLYSUN I use the banana boat simply protect baby version. It’s the one that Dr. Dray pointed to on the shelf with the pink cap. At Target, it’s like $7. I love it, and I use it year round. I also use “Altruist” sunscreen, but that one you have to order on Amazon from the UK. I used Dr. Drays link in her description box to pick that one up. Super affordable, and comes in a big pump bottle if you want the big size. 👌
ALLYSUN I used to do some freelance makeup artistry years back, and we used to use sunscreen to make the models or photo subjects glossy. To this day, I don’t use an actual cosmetic highlighter...just sunscreen! 🤣😂
I was interested in th Banana Boat sunscreen after Dr Dray pointed it out and you've just sealed it for me, so thanks. Highlighter AND sun protection in one, yes please!! 😄
Kylie Andrea usually in CVS skincare aisles, they will have their version right next to the branded ones! It likely says “watergel moisturizer” and then “compare to Neutrogena Hydro boost” in a smaller print under the name!
Dr.Dray I just want to say thank you, your recommendations changed my skin for the better, I could see improvement after a week, I was stunned. A month and half after let me tell you my skin is so perky and glowing, from only using drugstore products. Thank you 🙏🏾 you are so humble and kind. Sending you ❤️❤️❤️🌈
Taylor Palmer M Morning: Neutrogena gel wash/Cerave gentle wash, Neutrogena hydra oat with The ordinary ascorbic acid powder, Cerave in a tube, Simple vitamin cream and La Roche posay sunscreen cream and at night Simple oil followed by cerave gentle wash, simply pure day serum (Superdrug), Cerave cream, The Ordinary 1% retinol, Regenerist night cream or simple vitamin night cream (if It’s freezing weather) Mind you I’m not using make up at the moment, I was using those 12 hours foundation for 2 yrs which left my skin blackheads and with lines, but all is almost gone thanks to Dr.Dray
After working for a company with a large advertising team, seeing how they come up with products, I can see through the "New" for what it is. Basically the the same things in different packaging. Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
I love these videos. I am so tired of getting skincare advice from UA-camrs who have no idea what they are talking about. You make shopping in the the drug store for skincare less daunting.
Sometimes people don't have enough money to buy sunscreen and if they already have diaper cream at home, they can think of maybe using that. I've been there. Sometimes you just don't have any money. At all.
Thank you for another video! Your drugstore suggestions have saved me so much money. I used to be rouge status at Sephora, meaning I had spent 1k a year on that crap. I remember gasping when you called a cleanser I had bought ‘blue dye and glycerol’. Haha
Would love a full baby product video; sunscreen ,lotion ,body wash bath and shampoos. How do you feel about Aveeno oatmeal bath for infant/toddler eczema?
Love baby zinc cream, if you get a nasty cold or allergies and blow your nose to the point that it get red and irritated...just slap on some of that baby rash cream on your nose. The zinc rash creams calms and helps heal your rudolf nose, well it functions well for my family and myself.
Good grief! With all the complaints about white cast or heavy, greasy feel in actual sunscreens I cant imagine that anyone would want to put diaper cream on! Vanicream Shampoo for Dandruf/ Seborrheac Dermatitis is the only one I have tried that doesnt adversely affect my hair. Love the "Dr. Dray Drive By Hits" at the drugstore. Cheers!
I asked Dr. Dray about using diaper rash cream for my mild eczema on my upper thigh and apparently she didn't know. I personally wouldn't use diaper rash cream as a sunscreen, but there are "sunscreens" that I have tried that left a far worse white cast than diaper cream. We need to be our own advocates when it comes to our own skin care needs.
@@cassiebrown9786 I agree about being our own advocates but a big part of that is research of ingredients and intelligent decision making. If there is no testing on a product in terms of sunscreen filters and there are hundreds of tested SPF products to choose from then as an intelligent advocate the choice seems pretty clear. My experience with using thick, occlusive diaper rash ointment on children and grandchildren for many years and trying to wash it off my hands after applying it to bottoms makes me wonder why in the world would anyone want to put it on their face. Maybe this came from the same old ideas about putting toothpaste on blemishes, scrubbing your face with baking soda or using ACV as a toner which all originated in a time when we didnt have so many efficatious products to choose from. Cheers!
I’ve currently been watching your videos like crazy because I’m on 0.8 retina micro for acne and my rosacea and dryness has been crazy. These drugstore videos are so entertaining and help me stop spending money on terrible skincare! Both you and my derm are huge proponents of Cerave and my wallet loves that.
Thank you so much for sharing all your insights! I've been incorporating your advise since last August and my skin has visibly improved over these past 6 months.

Charli Writes - I have been using the HADA LABO gel for a couple of years - it has 'cones'. You may see faster results by putting your actives on BEFORE the HADA LABO. Then if you still need something heavier over the top of the gel, go ahead.
Yeah, I've been trying to stay away from hidroquinone and try gentler products instead :) This works, it may take a little longer but that's alright. @@ericmartin9569
I love your logical approach to skin care. Further your cynicism and criticism of the beauty/fashion industry is extremely commendable. I wish more women were like that!
I was on a flight once and the lady across from me misted her face at least 30 times with Vichy water her skin must have been so tight. I used to do that in high school thinking it was moisturizing lol.
I can’t remember now how I came across Dr.Dray’s videos, but I’m so glad I did! I’ve completely overhauled my entire skincare regime from head to toe. Thank you Dr, you’re amazing. Keep on debunking the skincare claims of so many companies. ❤️
Hello there! I'm taking isotretinoin and the Mineral 89 serum along with the CeraVe Moisturising Cream is a lifesaver for my dry skin! You rock Dr. Dray!💗🙌🙌🙌
Dr dray I took your advice and used a hyaluronate based “ampoule” along with vaniply and seal e erything in with a bland moisturizer or my spf and I’ve never seen my PIH fade so quickly. I even put some silicone sheets I have in storage from when I tried to treat my keloids on some recent cosmetic mole removal and the redness was gone overnight after they scabbed off. Frankly, I was shook 🤣
My favorite skin care you tuber always giving real reviews on products you have changed the way I look at products with fragrance I’ve recommended your channel to many of my friends who need a little help with finding the right skin care love you 💙💙💙
Your channel has changed my life. I have become more conscious of the products I buy. I am not relying anymore to the product bandwagon which costs us more in the end.
So great, as always! I wish people realized that it’s important to preserve cosmetics and to keep them stable over time. I bought some handmade soap on Etsy, and it grew mold on it! It was difficult to notice because I shower in the morning when I’m exhausted and bleary-eyed. Plus, my eyesight is terrible, and I don’t wear glasses in the shower. On top of that, there were herbs in the soap that surfaced over time, and it camouflaged the mold, and the texture was slimy from the get go. I have no idea how long I was enthusiastically rubbing mold all over my body 🙈😩😖🤮 NEVER AGAIN.
Dr. - Ty for sharing your wonderful and vast knowledge! Please know we are out here loving you and your videos! I hope that you get as much enjoyment out of making them- as I do watching them!
I had a humanitarian trip to Costa Rica and lived with families there. After a day a the beach, and every 15 minutes suncreen application, hat and shade almost the entire time I still managed to get burned with my fragile skin. My arms where swelling and my mom in my family there used baby rash cream and they explained that the zinc in that cream was what was helping the skin. My sunburns got somuch better and the swelling reduced!
I love the Nutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream. I get it at CVS when they have their BOGO sales on Nutrogena products. The sales always coincide with coupons in the papers. Great for for fellow bargain hunters 😉
I have been loving Prosacea! I don’t use it everyday, but I use it to spot treat areas prone to breakouts. It works much faster than any other spot treatment I have tried. Reduces inflammation and speeds up healing!
So helpful and informative! I've learned so much from watching your dermatology videos and skin care reviews that I make smarter choices and don't waste a lot of money on products that don't work. I'm a 50's and 60's child and former Sun worshiper. I visited a dermatologist for the first time a year ago due to a tiny basal cell carcinoma on my face and now go back every 6 months to make sure I'm skin cancer free. We're able to share and compare products and information because of what I've learned from you. Thank you!
I was so happy when I saw that Cerave is now being officially sold in Slovakia& Czech republic, but after I got some products I was surprised they had NO parabens in the ingredients list. Then I remembered the same thing is with Neutrogena products here
Hi Dr. Dray! Thanks for doing these walk through videos, it really helps keep me from being so overwhelmed when I'm in the skin care aisle! I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on ferments? I've recently discovered Shark Sauce by Holy Snails and the ingredients seem great but I'm not so sure about ferments for the skin, they seem kinda gimmicky to me. I'd love to hear what you think! Thanks so much, I hope your day is as awesome as you are 😊
As always, thank you for another good video! I can personally attest to ketoconazole being great on the scalp. I struggle with dandruff and psoriasis. When I use the ketoconazole I have growth of new hairs that aren’t suffocated anymore by the scalp issues.
This video was crazy helpful. Ilove watching sneak around the store. 😉 But the amount if information is incredibly helpful. I have rosacea, seb. dermatitis, chronic inflammation, super sensitive skin. So when you talk in broad medical terms about how these ingredients affect my body it gives me a better ability to make good choices. Rock on Dr Dray.
Please do more videos covering drugstore products that would be suitable in using for cystic acne :,( I struggle so bad. Love your videos. Thanks for everything so far. Your channel is gold. And you are amazing for your vids.
I commend your honesty and high quality of care for your YT "patients." Thanks to you, I'm double-cleansing, preventing TEWL, and using sunscreen regularly. People do not believe I have rosacea. Have a great day, dear Dr. Dray!!
You gave good information as usual(esp loved the info on shaving blades,hair regrowing products and free and clear, and Nixoral shampoos).Had my notebook out taking notes as usual when I watch your videos😆.
OMG...I have become a label reading convert thanks to you!!! All of the ingredients listed on products...now I am learning what to stay away from and what to spend my hard earned $$$ on. You are my product guru.
I’ve learned a lot from Cruelty Free Kitty online. I’m trying so hard not to buy products that test on animals but it’s really difficult. One thing I learned was all the “parent” companies that produce these products and sell in China. It’s quite interesting who owns what too. If your product is sold in China (there are many) and maybe other countries test on animals too, it is mandatory the product be tested on animals. I really enjoy your videos though. I heard about you from Dr. Davin Lim when he was doing a drugstore video. Love him too.
Every time I see a video showing an American pharmacy I'm shocked by how many products they sell. How many plastic bottles. I'm trying to cut down to a more minimalist life. So glass bottles and natural skincare like natural oils for me.
Right! We talk about single use water bottles, but good lord the cosmetics industry is a huge plastics dump. I like attractive & safe packaging. I even try to reuse things like pump tops and glass dropper bottles. But I feel terrible every time I watch some empties videos. 😱
I was especially shocked about olay (in Germany it is marketed as Oil of Olaz), I remember the days when they only had that light pink bottle. I mean in Germany we have Nivea Creme but not even them have expanded their range like this. But I know other countries have different Nivea stuff. Consumerism is insane. The most prominent brands are living of their reputation that is based on some uneducated guesses or a kind of family tradition since for example Nivea was the only cream that people after the war times in the booming phase (50s - 60s) could buy (and afford). People buy that stuff because other people buy it and take this as a validation for quality -_- I always think, please read the ingredients list (but then they would only search for parabens or silicones -_- I guess, we can't win)
@@pickledginger5876 yes they can be and are recycled at our home. The problem becomes that recycling centers have no use for the volume of recycling they get and is frequently dumped in landfills. Putting a recycling symbol on the container doesn't solve the problem. Many people don't bother to recycle because if the extent you have to clean the container before recycling.
I have sensitive skin and a mild case of Rosacea, but I never seem to do well with Aveeno products. As per Dr. Dray's advice, CeraVe has been very good with my skin.
I was able to pick up a 225ml tube of Aveeno's Daily Moisturizering Lotion yesterday 40% off from Priceline here in Australia. I was tempted to go for the bigger one but wasn't sure if I'd like it -- turns out I do. Thanks for suggesting that one in another vid, I never would have even considered it if you hadn't mentioned and recommended it.
These reviews are so helpful! I feel lucky that I'm able to buy the LaRoche Posay sunscreens where I live. The one thing I struggle with is trying to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn't irritate my eyes. I must have super sensitive eyes! It is so frustrating.
Dr Dray so glad I found you, I have extremely sensitive skin all products would burn or itch my face. When you said use vanicream, it works great!, facial wash & moisturizer worked excellent!! Thanks so much for sharing that info! Your the best I’m a new subscriber & enjoy your videos!
I use the banana boat simply protect baby it's wonderful. For folks living along the US/Mexico border La Roche Posay, Avene, and Vichy less expensive in Mexico
I always have such terrible breakouts right where my bra goes when I work out.I chamge my bra and also shower so I'm thinking maybe I'll try that antiseptic. Thanks as always for the great info!
I loooove the drugstore videos it really helped me a lot when I went to USA to do my shopping. I only bought your recommendations and now I have much better skin... most of drugs store products from USA are really expensive or don’t exist in my country... thank u so much dr. Dray 🥰🥰
Does sunscreen prevent skin sagging? I know that it prevents wrinkles and hyperpigmentation but what about sagging? I can't find any scientific data on the internet.
Loved this video!! The Walgreens skin care review was sooo interesting!! I learn alot about so many products for sure!! Thank you as always for a Fantastic review!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day!!
Dr Dray when you say that it's a good idea to combine the Free and Clear shampoo with Nizoral do you mean alternating days or use both at the same time?
I wish the La Roche Posay wasn't so expensive, and I hope other companies will put that ingredient in their sunscreens. It is so overwhelming with all the products out there, so ty for making sense of it all.
Hi! Love you and all of the videos shopping with you! *I have a question!* I can’t figure it out myself so could you comment on how different Aveeno, Cetaphil, and Cerave are? I am currently trying to find which one works the best but I’m also not sure if it’s in my head since they all seem so similar. I have dry skin specifically on my neck and eczema on my eyelids. Thank you! Love and appreciate you! 🖤💜💙💛💗
The Rogaine foam leaves a sticky residue and it is actually hard to "spread" around. I've found that using the liquid at night on damp hair is the best. I use 5% once a day.
Love the shopping videos ! Happy Tuesday everyone 😁 I’ve noticed in EU that Head & Shoulders have changed their active ingredient. Instead of zinc pyrithione it’s something called piroctone olamine. How does this compare for dandruff and Seb derm ? Thanks Dr Dray 🇪🇸😘
Another 5 star vlog. "Stop the insanity" lol I agree!!!! However, I will be buying that silicone serum in the roll on ...sounds awesome. So much valuable info. Hugs ....Sherry
Have used minoxidil 5% every night for over 2 years. Takes 30seconds to apply to my frontline and part. Takes 2mins to clean my teeth each night. That is certainly more boring! 💋
I absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much! This is the type of information that most of us can use on the daily and most of us shop here. Thank you for your time and saving us a lot of cash and for not falling for the nonsense products! BTW, has anyone ever asked you to stop filming in a store? I think I could listen to you until 2 batteries ran out. ♥
So, is the Neutrogena hydroboost city shield eye a better choice than the Vichy Mineral 89 booster? I wasn't really clear on that but definitely want to get one of them.
Yes, thank youuuuu for going back to Walgreens! Love these videos! And truly, I'm so thankful for your content. After hours and hours of binging your videos, taking notes, and following your recommendations, my skin has changed for the better. Not to mention my wallet! I was afraid I'd spend years in Sephora trying and failing to find a solution. With proper moisturizer, like Cerave and sunscreens, my skin has improved before my eyes. Thank you so, so much! Keep up the hard work!
Hi Dr Dray! I love these "Shop with ME" videos!! I've been using Rogaine for a few years. I'm interested in adding Nizoral shampoo to the mix to try and add density to my hair. How often do I need to use it in order for it to be effective? Do I need to keep it on my scalp for a certain length of time? I don't have dandruff or any other scalp condition. I look forward to your videos every day! I appreciate you so much. Thank you.
Julie McMahan I would also like to know the answers to your questions. I know it can dry out your hair a lot. So it would be nice to know how long to leave it on the scalp.
The La Roche Posey Anhelios XD looks amazing 😉 for someone like me w hyperpigmentation and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation..thanks for all your great knowledge! And I will say NO to facial sprays and mists from now on...tempting but no!
Thank you for these videos! These have saved me money & from pseudoscience videos. At times, I think videos based on pseudoscience should be banned. There’s a lady here on YT telling her 750K+ following to *not* use sunscreen & it angers me.
@Barbi Love Yes, it IS pseudoscience because what she states goes against medical evidence. She spews nonsense by saying that consuming certain foods will give you all of the sun protection one needs. BUT she now uses Botox because she can’t figure out why she’s aging prematurely. 😆 You can’t make this stuff up; it only exists on YT. Lordy...
Renee' I recently saw a younger UA-camr presenting reasons not to use sunscreen. And it makes me mad as well! There are so many who dont want to use sunscreen because they havent explored all the pleasant, comfortable options that are available and all it takes in someone on UA-cam giving them encouragement to forgo sunscreen for them to latch on. I find that really disreputable.
She's so right; my daughter into the teenage years has tried this and that, went to a dermatologist. And her skin is a mess. I think she just has really sensitive skin. We went to a hotel one time and the pillow case sent her face into a tizzy. That was the one time and only time a doctor said it was okay to use hydrocortisone on the face. I think the more stuff you use, try, the more confusing it gets. We do not use hydrocortisone on a regular basis though because I think they said it was a cousin to a steroid. Then you get into makeup, even a popular noncomedogenic one (won't say name) also caused a mess with her face (stinging).
I can’t speak for everyone but I never get tired of going to the drugstore with you!
A C agreed!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺
Same...always learn so much
Omg it's like Christmas for me. I love your pick and I love Walgreens because of the return policy
A C I just wish she was here in the UK to go through our stores!
I don't buy any skin care any more until I check out your opinion on YT. its like having a dermatologist on call! Thank you so much for keeping us informed. There is SOOOO much overpriced crap out there.
Briar Rose I agree. She is amazing.
Me too Jennifer 😊 👍
I always check her thoughts also....
I agree. Going to a dermatologist is not a priority for my bank account unless it’s an emergency so I much appreciate these videos!
I love these videos and am so glad there is a dermatologist like you on UA-cam that doesn’t encourage expensive and unnecessary skin care items. Thanks for the recommendations!

Nice to see you talk about European pharmacy brands .Any other suggestions from those brands are always appreciated.
The videos when you go to stores are great! My second favorite to the ones about effective ingredients! Thank you!!!

Thanks for watching!
10:14 that big "nope" and walk away xD
im glad im not the only who noticed that. But if i saw dr. dray i would probably go right up to her.
Hahaha! That was so funny 😆
OMG! I would die! You'll have a nice stalker. Promised!!!
Hello there! I'm taking isotretinoin and the Mineral 89 serum along with the CeraVe Moisturising Cream is a lifesaver for my dry skin! You rock Dr. Dray!💗🙌🙌🙌
Dr dray I took your advice and used a hyaluronate based “ampoule” along with vaniply and seal e erything in with a bland moisturizer or my spf and I’ve never seen my PIH fade so quickly. I even put some silicone sheets I have in storage from when I tried to treat my keloids on some recent cosmetic mole removal and the redness was gone overnight after they scabbed off. Frankly, I was shook 🤣
so glad to hear!
I Dream of Peony Do you know what video she recommended this in?
My favorite skin care you tuber always giving real reviews on products you have changed the way I look at products with fragrance I’ve recommended your channel to many of my friends who need a little help with finding the right skin care love you 💙💙💙
Speaking of diaper rash for all the mamas out there that are battling diaper rashes on babies the BEST is Triple Paste
It really is. Nothing worked except triple paste.
Your channel has changed my life. I have become more conscious of the products I buy. I am not relying anymore to the product bandwagon which costs us more in the end.
So great, as always! I wish people realized that it’s important to preserve cosmetics and to keep them stable over time. I bought some handmade soap on Etsy, and it grew mold on it! It was difficult to notice because I shower in the morning when I’m exhausted and bleary-eyed. Plus, my eyesight is terrible, and I don’t wear glasses in the shower. On top of that, there were herbs in the soap that surfaced over time, and it camouflaged the mold, and the texture was slimy from the get go. I have no idea how long I was enthusiastically rubbing mold all over my body 🙈😩😖🤮 NEVER AGAIN.
yikes! yeah that is a definite downside to no preservatives...shelf life is short and stability questionable
With 25 + years as a practicing skin care specialist im grateful for your channel and learn something new on a regular basis. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Dr. - Ty for sharing your wonderful and vast knowledge! Please know we are out here loving you and your videos! I hope that you get as much enjoyment out of making them- as I do watching them!
thanks for watching!
I had a humanitarian trip to Costa Rica and lived with families there. After a day a the beach, and every 15 minutes suncreen application, hat and shade almost the entire time I still managed to get burned with my fragile skin. My arms where swelling and my mom in my family there used baby rash cream and they explained that the zinc in that cream was what was helping the skin. My sunburns got somuch better and the swelling reduced!
I love the Nutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream. I get it at CVS when they have their BOGO sales on Nutrogena products. The sales always coincide with coupons in the papers. Great for for fellow bargain hunters 😉
this is me yessss
I have been loving Prosacea! I don’t use it everyday, but I use it to spot treat areas prone to breakouts. It works much faster than any other spot treatment I have tried. Reduces inflammation and speeds up healing!
You should do shampoos and conditioners next !!!! -:)
So helpful and informative! I've learned so much from watching your dermatology videos and skin care reviews that I make smarter choices and don't waste a lot of money on products that don't work. I'm a 50's and 60's child and former Sun worshiper. I visited a dermatologist for the first time a year ago due to a tiny basal cell carcinoma on my face and now go back every 6 months to make sure I'm skin cancer free. We're able to share and compare products and information because of what I've learned from you. Thank you!
Dr Dray..when you do a Walgreens skin care video I get sooo happy!!! Thank you for sharing all your tips!!!YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Happy Monday!
I was so happy when I saw that Cerave is now being officially sold in Slovakia& Czech republic, but after I got some products I was surprised they had NO parabens in the ingredients list. Then I remembered the same thing is with Neutrogena products here
Hi Dr. Dray! Thanks for doing these walk through videos, it really helps keep me from being so overwhelmed when I'm in the skin care aisle!
I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on ferments? I've recently discovered Shark Sauce by Holy Snails and the ingredients seem great but I'm not so sure about ferments for the skin, they seem kinda gimmicky to me. I'd love to hear what you think! Thanks so much, I hope your day is as awesome as you are 😊
As always, thank you for another good video!
I can personally attest to ketoconazole being great on the scalp. I struggle with dandruff and psoriasis. When I use the ketoconazole I have growth of new hairs that aren’t suffocated anymore by the scalp issues.
This video was crazy helpful. Ilove watching sneak around the store. 😉 But the amount if information is incredibly helpful. I have rosacea, seb. dermatitis, chronic inflammation, super sensitive skin. So when you talk in broad medical terms about how these ingredients affect my body it gives me a better ability to make good choices. Rock on Dr Dray.
thanks!
Please do more videos covering drugstore products that would be suitable in using for cystic acne :,( I struggle so bad. Love your videos. Thanks for everything so far. Your channel is gold. And you are amazing for your vids.
We love you Dr Dray ♡
Thanks for watching and happy Monday!!
You just made my crappy Monday a whole lot happier! Yay for dr Dray 😊 😊 😊
We do
Thank you yet again Dr Dray. You truly are skin saviour. Not to mention the stress.
thanks for watching!
Omg yes! Love your drugstore videos.
thanks for watching!
I commend your honesty and high quality of care for your YT "patients." Thanks to you, I'm double-cleansing, preventing TEWL, and using sunscreen regularly. People do not believe I have rosacea. Have a great day, dear Dr. Dray!!
You gave good information as usual(esp loved the info on shaving blades,hair regrowing products and free and clear, and Nixoral shampoos).Had my notebook out taking notes as usual when I watch your videos😆.
OMG...I have become a label reading convert thanks to you!!! All of the ingredients listed on products...now I am learning what to stay away from and what to spend my hard earned $$$ on. You are my product guru.
If you ever come to Canada please go to Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall! We have similar products but they’re also different ones.
I just adore your vlogs, whether you're walking in Walmart or chatting with us while you drive.
I’ve learned a lot from Cruelty Free Kitty online. I’m trying so hard not to buy products that test on animals but it’s really difficult. One thing I learned was all the “parent” companies that produce these products and sell in China. It’s quite interesting who owns what too. If your product is sold in China (there are many) and maybe other countries test on animals too, it is mandatory the product be tested on animals. I really enjoy your videos though. I heard about you from Dr. Davin Lim when he was doing a drugstore video. Love him too.
Your channel is amazing! Changed my entire understanding of skin care
Every time I see a video showing an American pharmacy I'm shocked by how many products they sell. How many plastic bottles. I'm trying to cut down to a more minimalist life. So glass bottles and natural skincare like natural oils for me.
you should see our breakfast cereal aisles, lol! how many ways can you sugar coat a cornflake?
Right! We talk about single use water bottles, but good lord the cosmetics industry is a huge plastics dump. I like attractive & safe packaging. I even try to reuse things like pump tops and glass dropper bottles. But I feel terrible every time I watch some empties videos. 😱
I was especially shocked about olay (in Germany it is marketed as Oil of Olaz), I remember the days when they only had that light pink bottle. I mean in Germany we have Nivea Creme but not even them have expanded their range like this. But I know other countries have different Nivea stuff. Consumerism is insane. The most prominent brands are living of their reputation that is based on some uneducated guesses or a kind of family tradition since for example Nivea was the only cream that people after the war times in the booming phase (50s - 60s) could buy (and afford). People buy that stuff because other people buy it and take this as a validation for quality -_- I always think, please read the ingredients list (but then they would only search for parabens or silicones -_- I guess, we can't win)
Can't some of the containers be recycled? I know some Asian skin care sells refills in packs that you dump into the original container.
@@pickledginger5876 yes they can be and are recycled at our home. The problem becomes that recycling centers have no use for the volume of recycling they get and is frequently dumped in landfills. Putting a recycling symbol on the container doesn't solve the problem. Many people don't bother to recycle because if the extent you have to clean the container before recycling.
I can’t begin to thank you enough for taking the time do all these videos for us
thanks for watching!
Dr. Dray I use the $1 zinc oxide from Walgreens and it did calm my hand ezcema/dermatitis. It was pretty messy though.
I have sensitive skin and a mild case of Rosacea, but I never seem to do well with Aveeno products. As per Dr. Dray's advice, CeraVe has been very good with my skin.
Love Vanicream! I use the cleanser and lite lotion and my face is happy, happy, happy!
I was able to pick up a 225ml tube of Aveeno's Daily Moisturizering Lotion yesterday 40% off from Priceline here in Australia. I was tempted to go for the bigger one but wasn't sure if I'd like it -- turns out I do. Thanks for suggesting that one in another vid, I never would have even considered it if you hadn't mentioned and recommended it.
10:15 lady in the background sees camera and turns around, shes like nope
This by far has to be the best UA-cam channel, love her videos
thanks!
These reviews are so helpful! I feel lucky that I'm able to buy the LaRoche Posay sunscreens where I live. The one thing I struggle with is trying to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn't irritate my eyes. I must have super sensitive eyes! It is so frustrating.
Dr Dray so glad I found you, I have extremely sensitive skin all products would burn or itch my face. When you said use vanicream, it works great!, facial wash & moisturizer worked excellent!! Thanks so much for sharing that info! Your the best I’m a new subscriber & enjoy your videos!
I use the banana boat simply protect baby it's wonderful. For folks living along the US/Mexico border La Roche Posay, Avene, and Vichy less expensive in Mexico
TFS!
Tretinoin too
Also you get the full filters in Mexico, such as Mexoryl and Tinosorb S
These videos are always so appreciated. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us 🙏❤
Thanks for watching!
I always have such terrible breakouts right where my bra goes when I work out.I chamge my bra and also shower so I'm thinking maybe I'll try that antiseptic. Thanks as always for the great info!
I loooove the drugstore videos it really helped me a lot when I went to USA to do my shopping. I only bought your recommendations and now I have much better skin... most of drugs store products from USA are really expensive or don’t exist in my country... thank u so much dr. Dray 🥰🥰
Does sunscreen prevent skin sagging? I know that it prevents wrinkles and hyperpigmentation but what about sagging? I can't find any scientific data on the internet.
You're just the greatest giving us all this information we generally wouldn't know. I know I've changed a lot of things I've been doing. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Loved this video!! The Walgreens skin care review was sooo interesting!! I learn alot about so many products for sure!! Thank you as always for a Fantastic review!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day!!
thanks for watching!
Dr Dray You are so Welcome Dr. Dray!! Hope you having a Beautiful Day!! Always!! xox
These videos are so so good!! Never stop doing them and THANK YOU for doing them💛💛
Thanks for watching
Dr Dray when you say that it's a good idea to combine the Free and Clear shampoo with Nizoral do you mean alternating days or use both at the same time?
Wondering the same...
I wish the La Roche Posay wasn't so expensive, and I hope other companies will put that ingredient in their sunscreens. It is so overwhelming with all the products out there, so ty for making sense of it all.
Diaper cream is the only zit spot treatment that works for me, it can dry out my white head over night.
Thank you for these overviews and mini reviews. They are super helpful.
Hi! Love you and all of the videos shopping with you! *I have a question!* I can’t figure it out myself so could you comment on how different Aveeno, Cetaphil, and Cerave are? I am currently trying to find which one works the best but I’m also not sure if it’s in my head since they all seem so similar. I have dry skin specifically on my neck and eczema on my eyelids.
Thank you! Love and appreciate you! 🖤💜💙💛💗
I LIKE 👍 ur Shop w/Me videos, however, I LOVE 💘 this one. I think because there's variety of products.
so excited (: have a good day everybody !
thanks for watching!
Always love your drugstore and product review videos Dr Dray - this one was fascinating. Thank you! 🧴
Happy Monday!
I love these store videos
thanks for watching!
The Rogaine foam leaves a sticky residue and it is actually hard to "spread" around. I've found that using the liquid at night on damp hair is the best. I use 5% once a day.
Happy Monday Dr. Dray. I love this type of vlog. Thank you so much.
thanks for watching!
I learn so much from you Dr. Dray!! Esp stay away from things with fragrances. Thank you!!🤗
Love the shopping videos ! Happy Tuesday everyone 😁
I’ve noticed in EU that Head & Shoulders have changed their active ingredient. Instead of zinc pyrithione it’s something called piroctone olamine.
How does this compare for dandruff and Seb derm ?
Thanks Dr Dray 🇪🇸😘
Another 5 star vlog. "Stop the insanity" lol I agree!!!! However, I will be buying that silicone serum in the roll on ...sounds awesome. So much valuable info. Hugs ....Sherry
thanks Ms Sherry!
Have used minoxidil 5% every night for over 2 years. Takes 30seconds to apply to my frontline and part. Takes 2mins to clean my teeth each night. That is certainly more boring! 💋
I absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much! This is the type of information that most of us can use on the daily and most of us shop here. Thank you for your time and saving us a lot of cash and for not falling for the nonsense products! BTW, has anyone ever asked you to stop filming in a store? I think I could listen to you until 2 batteries ran out. ♥
Thanks!
So, is the Neutrogena hydroboost city shield eye a better choice than the Vichy Mineral 89 booster? I wasn't really clear on that but definitely want to get one of them.
Yes, thank youuuuu for going back to Walgreens! Love these videos! And truly, I'm so thankful for your content. After hours and hours of binging your videos, taking notes, and following your recommendations, my skin has changed for the better. Not to mention my wallet! I was afraid I'd spend years in Sephora trying and failing to find a solution. With proper moisturizer, like Cerave and sunscreens, my skin has improved before my eyes. Thank you so, so much! Keep up the hard work!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dr Dray! I love these "Shop with ME" videos!! I've been using Rogaine for a few years. I'm interested in adding Nizoral shampoo to the mix to try and add density to my hair. How often do I need to use it in order for it to be effective? Do I need to keep it on my scalp for a certain length of time? I don't have dandruff or any other scalp condition. I look forward to your videos every day! I appreciate you so much. Thank you.
Julie McMahan I would also like to know the answers to your questions. I know it can dry out your hair a lot. So it would be nice to know how long to leave it on the scalp.
I enjoy learning about drug store products. Thanks for good insight and info.
The La Roche Posey Anhelios XD looks amazing 😉 for someone like me w hyperpigmentation and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation..thanks for all your great knowledge!
And I will say NO to facial sprays and mists from now on...tempting but no!
Loved the video! I hope your weekend was awesome, it looks like you had fun at the conference. Have a great week up ahead!
Thank you for these videos! These have saved me money & from pseudoscience videos. At times, I think videos based on pseudoscience should be banned. There’s a lady here on YT telling her 750K+ following to *not* use sunscreen & it angers me.
That is not even "pseudoscience"
@Barbi Love Yes, it IS pseudoscience because what she states goes against medical evidence. She spews nonsense by saying that consuming certain foods will give you all of the sun protection one needs. BUT she now uses Botox because she can’t figure out why she’s aging prematurely. 😆
You can’t make this stuff up; it only exists on YT.
Lordy...
Reneé Who?!
Lol
Renee' I recently saw a younger UA-camr presenting reasons not to use sunscreen. And it makes me mad as well! There are so many who dont want to use sunscreen because they havent explored all the pleasant, comfortable options that are available and all it takes in someone on UA-cam giving them encouragement to forgo sunscreen for them to latch on. I find that really disreputable.
She's so right; my daughter into the teenage years has tried this and that, went to a dermatologist. And her skin is a mess. I think she just has really sensitive skin. We went to a hotel one time and the pillow case sent her face into a tizzy. That was the one time and only time a doctor said it was okay to use hydrocortisone on the face. I think the more stuff you use, try, the more confusing it gets. We do not use hydrocortisone on a regular basis though because I think they said it was a cousin to a steroid. Then you get into makeup, even a popular noncomedogenic one (won't say name) also caused a mess with her face (stinging).
When you slipped in that charcoal is useless OMG I have been endlessly wondering about it MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!
As always very informative and helpful! I love your videos. Thank you Dr Dray.
