Wow, it's refreshing to find a doctor that prioritizes the health of their patients over whoring themselves out to the highest bidder. She's the only one I listen to and has saved me literally thousands.
This video made me realized I have fell into so many Instagram gimmicks when it comes to skincare. I am taking notes and look forward to getting back to the basics.
Eye cream = same brand of facial moisturizer packed in a tiny tube half the size and double the price!!.. Thanks to you I'm never falling for them again..
Sri Ram Srinivas - hello fellow Indian, the kaya antox vitamin c serum is pretty good. But I have been told that vitamin C is pretty unstable when applied topically, so please exercise caution and avoid wasting money.
Not all of them. My Sum37 eye cream has the texture and heaviness of salve, which is not something you would use over your entire face for a day cream.
I need a fridge magnet that says this! I’m not strong enough to destroy it yet, but I no longer keep my 10x magnifying mirror in the bathroom cabinet. 😬
@@Absurdity101 The OP did articulate what type of humor Dr. Dray has..."Dry". A dry sense of humor, is finding and appreciating something humorous in a situation, that seemingly appears to be devoid of innate humor. Comedians/Comediennes demonstrate a dry sense of humor; they deliver amusing material in a deadpan manner. Dr. Dray exhibits this type of "manner". So, yes, the OP is correct. Dr. Dray does have a dry sense of humor, and it is very entertaining.
Definitely subbing . I’m breaking out on my face and I’m so happy to see a dermatologist is recommending skincare that doesn’t cost an actual arm and leg 😂😂
jade lmao dad’s are the worst sometimes tbh. I’m not kidding when i literally saw my dad take a foaming bath and body works scented hand soap and start putting it all over his face i was like dad that’s not a facewash LMAOO he’s like it’s soap it does the trick. Like noo i gagged
I love how a dermatologist is hitting common drug stores. So glad you are not elbows deep in products from Saks fifth avenue. That being said. Would be interesting to know if there is much difference. Worth the extra $$ for a $90 cream, serum? Keep up the hard work.
There is not...in fact usually the more expensive the cream the more likely it is to cause problems, lol. "Serum" is a word the cosmetic companies devised. The term "serum," to a dermatologist means what is left over from blood after clotting factors and cells have been removed
Dr Dray I found that when I used expensive $40-100 skincare products, my skin was farrrr worse than when I used drugstore stuff. I went back to my drugstore stuff, saved $$$, and my skin wasn’t constantly itchy anymore!!
I love that she talked about some issues people of color have, like the white cast of mineral sunscreens and the harmful bleaching ingredients In amby.
I’m white, with light to medium skin, and even I get that white cast from the mineral sunscreens. Plus, if you are wearing it under makeup, it’s too much. Too many layers and I feel really overheated.
You're very welcome. It's so hard to get these products in EU (Neutrogena only in body moisturizers, NO CeraVe etc., high shipping costs & fees for cosmetics - seriously, someone help us already) - that's why I appreciate your content so much. You actually go in depth about the ingredients so someone like me is able to find a similliar product :)
Yur the best, laying out yur go to products so we can actually c what u use, saving money is my biggie, so confusing out there, I would luv to c yur green smoothie for anti aging, I want Botox sobad, but can’t afford it, I’m 59, mostly bedridden and not a boring moment with u. U r so down to earth, and yur mommy looks sooo young, I can c how yur related .... keep up yur great work, another thing I like fragrances. I’m not allergic but I have to smell everything I buy, so if u know good products with good fragrances can u do a video on them???? Luv u girl❣️
Oh another thing I’m using cruel for body I’ve been itching slit cuz of a med, ii really liked it, i slathered it all over and it worked I think it had ceramine in it, is that what I need for my face??? But a face product ??? And what else should I be looking for???? For a face wash I get so confused on all the acids and what to put on first and last.... so confusing, I write down what I could and save yur videos, I also have loose skin on my eyelid just one lol so it’s so hard to put eyeshadow, any recommendations???? If their is a high end one too, I’ve always had acne in elementary school not now, but my face could look better and I am oily, but I’m using something for dry skin it’s cetaphil moisture cream, I like my face really hydrated, I don’t know if that’s a good idea , and the simple wipes good????, since I’m in bed a lot??? another thing
I just started binge watching your videos. I love your personality, your honesty and the fact that your just chilling on the floor talking to the camera in a Walgreens isle and dont care about people seeing you. 😂🙂 you definitely gained a new subscriber!
🤯 I didn’t know that unscented things had a masking scent in the ingredients I thought unscented and fragrance free was the same. Wow thank u dr dray I learned something new.
@bob marley Exactly. Makeup helps people feel good about themselves. I know that when I get dressed up and put on a full face of make up I feel good and more confident.
I'm so glad I found this. I wish people watched more videos like this instead of all the often terrible recommendations from beauty gurus' "daily skin care" videos.
Is the 3 step target version of proactiv worth the $ as u said the store brand is as good and is the same as name brand. Have u run across any so d9ffrent from the name/store brand?
I wish I had a dermatologist like you. Patience: "What does the doctor do on her spare time?" Me: "Sit down on the skin care aisle at Walgreens and, educate us about good product." 🤣
Nyla Ari for everyone that’s following this, I was watching one of her other video which was for oily skin, And someone in the comments asked if the African black soap was a good cleanser for oily skin and she said “not really tbh”
I heard the African black soap is pretty good, but not the ones they market at drug stores. Those are fake. Real African soap should be brown and muddy, not full on shiny black
Vanicream is now my favorite thing ever! I have never found any product that didn't leave me tingly in some way until Vanicream. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so thankful for these videos!! I love how she explains why the ingredients are bad/vs good . I have learned more about skincare in 2 of her videos than I have watching other video for the past year!!!!!
I am so grateful you give us such affordable and easy drug store brands we can run out and buy. I use to be a HUGE makeup person and I have to admit after watching your videos I have simplified my lifestyle so much. I am loving and embracing my own skin. And I stop putting dirt (makeup) all over my face. I never thought I could say that but I feel free now 😊 you rock Dr. Dray! Blessings from Robstown/Corpus Christi Texas ❤
Agreed! Your beautiful but then you start talking with your brilliant mind and sassy attitude! Very hot. I can say that since I'm a mature married woman!
Desitin! (Yeah for baby’s soft butt as in diaper rash prescribed once for my daughter while vacationing in hot/ humid Miami. I tried once after returning from the beach with a lobster face put it in face to sleep (used an extra pillow case) and in the morning my skin was so clear! Surprised surprised! No breakouts either. Need to do it again! It works like magic!
VaniCream highly recommended by my dermatologist. I’m currently using all Cera Vé products which I love but will try VaniCream next. What’s recommended for melea? Thats the reason I visit my doc.
My daughter (age 8) got vanicream from her doc for eczema but never told us to put it on wet skin. Thank you so much for your video! I am now teaching her the right way to do it and she is enjoying no itchy skin!! Yay!
Yours are some of my FAVORITE videos...the honesty and candidness are refreshing in such an over-marketed world, especially the beauty industry. I've bought many of the products you've recommended and have loved them all. You crack me up and I look forward to your vlogs every day!
That acne foaming wash, I have struggled with bacne for years and white pumps on on my arms. I did not take care of it well in my early teen years. I've bought expensive soaps and scrubs (which have helped but not on the wallet) but I need something more to really clean it all up. Thank you so much!
Question: What kind of alcohol is bad in skincare? I noticed you mentioned the first one is good but it has tons of alcohol and parabens! So diff than what we’re used to hearing
Alcohol denats, ethanol, and benzyl alcohol are terrible for your skin. Very drying and will age you. Stearyl alcohol and cetyl and cetearyl alcohol are fatty and moisturizing. So great for your skin. Good rule of thumb: anytime you see an alcohol in a product, look it up to see if it is safe. There are tons of different alcohols and some are mixtures that contain high percentages of ethanol. (Which is terrible) So just be safe and look it up haha.
You're hilarious - like goofy yet serious and well informed. Thanks for sharing- I am subscribing. I appreciate the objective, scientific approach and your thoroughness.. Also your comfort in videoing in Walgreens with people standing around and shopping is stellar. God bless you Doc.
Not only have I changed my skin care routine with your recommendations and started aplying adapalene every other night (waiting for the purge, which WILL happen) but I also find your videos so helpful to understand what my skin actually needs whithout spending my whole sallary. I spent years trying to find a dermatologist or even a esthetician that would tell me the real deal, and you carelessly help so many people aroubd the world. Sending love and happiness, hope you get all the joy and kindness you give to us. Love from Argentina!
Upon noticing aging signs, lol, I decided I wanted to learn about skincare. More than just a regime, but the ingredients and how to tell what’s crap and just a marketing scheme! You make it so fun, and knowledge. You recommended the neutrogena water boost moisturizer in the first video I watched, so I took the plunge. I’ve had it for 3 days and I LOVE it! I’ve NEVER loved a skincare product. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
For those of you who were looking to buy Vanicream in Canada and were wonderig why you couldn't find it, the reason is it marked under the name Cliniderm, hope that helps 😊
I literally just bought a bottle of this today but now I'm nervous about using it because of the fragrance... I have very sensitive skin 🥺 it's my own fault I failed to read the label
I’ve changed all of my skincare since subscribing. Threw away the waters. Bought lots of sunscreens you recommended in 2’s for my daughter and I. We love the vani cream lip protection. Oh the under eye spf/color correction I bought off your link is my favorite. Yes, I use cereve all over including my face. It’s great. I love sunscreen now!!! Thank you! My only regret is not having this info sooner like in my 20’s.
I am requesting an Entire Vogue reimagining of Free Your Mind... as Free Your Pores. Smash the mirror, indeed! About a year ago, I read an interview with model and muse Ines de la Fressange, and when asked about dealing with aging and wrinkles, she said, "Don't put on your glasses, or stand further away from the mirror." The beauty industry creates flaws, and so many of buy magnifying mirrors in which to hunt them. Thanks for a great video!
They sure do!! I know they are in the business of selling and creating captivating images, but i think natural beauty is seriously seriously underplayed
Yes, they do! The worst part is that I worked in cosmetics ages ago, so I should know better. At least I worked for a brand that espoused sunscreen as a major part of skincare.
I don't have any skincare problems, really, but I like to be informed. Your videos are very educational to me. Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to share your knowledge.
Is anyone else bothered by her placing majority of the items she mentioned back on the shelf improperly or is it just me? Great and informative video though.
What I love about American drugstore products is that they always list the active ingredients (and disclose the percentages) and the inactive ingredients. In my country, manufacturers are not required to do that and they just list the ingredients from the biggest to the least amount so I often don't know at what percentages the actives are.
Dr. Dray, Your Amazing with your knowledge and honesty! You are helping so many people plus saving us money! You are so genuinely appreciated. Love and Light 💖 Carli
Whoa! You just saved me SO much money! I was planning to go to ulta and buy some more Clinique skin products. I'm gonna skip it and go to Walgreens and see how things go! Thank you thank you!
Thank you for this. I'm not into all the fancy products and marketing. I just want to buy something that WORKS. I'd like to see a Mary Kay skincare product review!!!! I know quite a few women who sells Mary Kay and I wonder if their products rings true to the claims they present
I used to be a “ Consultant”. Getting the ingredients in the products was impossible. And I sold it. The best was the heavy pink moisturizer. I’ve always had dry skin and that was great but had fragrance for sure. When consumers wanted to know ingredients, that’s when Mary Kay ran into trouble.
"You're not a barbecue," lol. My favorite cleanser is the Olay Gentle Clean Foaming Cleanser for Sensitive Skin and CeraVe Hydrating cleanser to remove eye makeup. Creamy cleansers seem to give me small breakouts, and the Olay works really well for me. Favorite moisturizers are the Neutrogena Oil Free and the CeraVe PM. Moisturizing my skin while wet has hydrated my undereyes better than any eye cream. Thanks for being brave enough to talk to yourself in Walgreens!
Just realizes that the Differin moisturiser is almost like-for-like identical to the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion. Makes sense, since they're both manufactured by Galderma...
I am so glad I have found your channel. You have made me realize all of the gimmicks that I have fallen for these past few years when it comes to face products
The big tub of Cetaphil moisturizer is something I CANNOT live without. I had keratosis polaris covering my legs and use this every time I take a shower. No smell, thick, and makes my legs feel soft the entire day 🔥
Mermaid Shawna I have been using the cetaphil tub moisturizer since I was kid and it’s the only thing that works with my sensitive, dry, and flaky skin! Love it so much
I absolutely love your drugstore videos! Walgreens was always a fave place for me and now I can spend more time there with how much I'm learning from you! And your commentary is on point, both educational and hilarious! 👍🏽
1. not recommended bc it's an oil 2. its heavily fragrant & can irritate the skin when it sits on the skin. 3. it dries out the area but then again so does tooth paste so it's really at your own risk? tea tree is usually recommend on piercing scars, scalp treatments, for the feet etc not really for ance
I mean this is the best way possible but she is like a character on a show (like the office). The type of character I want as a friend! LOL. New favorite youtuber hands down! Never been so excited to find a new person to watch!! ♥️♥️
On the CeraVe sunscreen, I buy Hard Candy's pigment drops the lightest one at Walmart and use one small drop in it to get the rid of the white cast. It works well.
Dr Dray i heard that mixing anything to a sunscreen messes up the spf. Can you clarify this for me please? Mineral sunscreens give me terrible white cast.
I have personally tried biome charcoal it was drying, burning, and reddening. But this was before I had found your channel and decided to not use many products on my face.
I love your attitude towards charcoal products! Lol! It IS in everything these days! A few weeks ago I accidentally bought the charcoal version of my favorite toothpaste. I opened it to find black toothpaste! I also use an electric toothbrush so you can imagine the polka dot mess in my sink. :-/ I did try a charcoal peel off mask once last year. It was so painful to remove, my eyes were watering the entire time! And the worst part is that it didn't do anything to clean my pores that my cleansers could do. In fact I ended up spending another half hour scrubbing off the black/gray residue from the perimeter of my face. The only masks I use now are moisturizing that can be rinsed or wiped off with a damp cloth.
She says she likes the brand!! I don’t know which video it was but I have been binging all of her “shop with me at the drugstore” videos so maybe try some of those to hear more of what she thinks about the brand!
I bought the Vanicream moisturizer based on your recommendation and it is seriously one of the best moisturizers on the market in my opinion! My dry skin LOVES it! Thanks so much, Doc! Absolutely love your videos!
Wow, it's refreshing to find a doctor that prioritizes the health of their patients over whoring themselves out to the highest bidder. She's the only one I listen to and has saved me literally thousands.
"Skin is an organ system not a beauty system" thankyou so much Andrea
At the begining of the video you look like your about to rob the Walgreens.
Hahahahahaha
She does!
Max77 OMG IM 💀😂
Loool
Lol
she's super lawful but the way she puts things back on the shelf has such a chaotic energy and it's terrifying
I love this description of her!
"Chaotically Lawful"
I mean it's gotten better in the last ones but yeah
Whut
madeline marks one woman wrecking crew 🤣
“I tried it, I liked it. Do I recommend it? NO”
Great to see how unbiased you are!
This video made me realized I have fell into so many Instagram gimmicks when it comes to skincare. I am taking notes and look forward to getting back to the basics.
Nekole Willis literally any skincare page on social media is so wrong and it’s probably why I have bad skin 🙄
Same. I get blinded by the cute packaging 🤦🏻♀️.
Same girl, so glad I found her videos!
She saved me from those instagram skincare pages that made my face worse
Eye cream = same brand of facial moisturizer packed in a tiny tube half the size and double the price!!.. Thanks to you I'm never falling for them again..
Lol!!
Sri Ram Srinivas - hello fellow Indian, the kaya antox vitamin c serum is pretty good. But I have been told that vitamin C is pretty unstable when applied topically, so please exercise caution and avoid wasting money.
Not all of them. My Sum37 eye cream has the texture and heaviness of salve, which is not something you would use over your entire face for a day cream.
YES! I was completely shocked when I saw that Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer and the eye cream have the exact same ingredients,,, what a shame.
So, what would you suggest for under eyes? Depuffer and wrinkles?
"you know what will free your pores? taking your pore mirror and shattering it on the floor." oh my god LMAOOOOooOOo
I thought that was hilarious too. 😅🤣😂 @dr dray She's awesome! ❤
I LOVE her.
I need a fridge magnet that says this! I’m not strong enough to destroy it yet, but I no longer keep my 10x magnifying mirror in the bathroom cabinet. 😬
She's right lol
Lmao the aggresSION 😭😂
You’re a little different aren’t you??? I like it. Smart, dry sense of humor and brutal. Awesome!

Chainsaw Kitten So?
I appreciate that you are so willing to educate us. My dermatologist told me, "I am not interested in your skincare" when I went and I was SHOCKED.
Seriously?? I'd be looking for a new dermatologist. :-/
Right please find another one !
Daaaaamn wtf. I’m not interested in giving you my money then! Shiiit!
Your DERMATOLOGIST was not interested in taking care of skin?
I would of reported him or her to the board. Theres no reason to talk to ANY patient like that ..
I just love how brutally honest she is, thanks for the tips

I've bought expensive soaps and scrubs (which have helped but not on the wallet) but I need something more to really clean it all up. Thank you so much!
I love how naturally fluent you are with speaking about skin care ! Big inspiration!
I wish my dermatologist is as honest and informative as you. Love your sense of humor. You rock, thank you Dr. Dray 💕🥰❤️
Question: What kind of alcohol is bad in skincare? I noticed you mentioned the first one is good but it has tons of alcohol and parabens! So diff than what we’re used to hearing
Alcohol denats, ethanol, and benzyl alcohol are terrible for your skin. Very drying and will age you.
Stearyl alcohol and cetyl and cetearyl alcohol are fatty and moisturizing. So great for your skin.
Good rule of thumb: anytime you see an alcohol in a product, look it up to see if it is safe. There are tons of different alcohols and some are mixtures that contain high percentages of ethanol. (Which is terrible) So just be safe and look it up haha.
Learned more in 30 minutes from this than I have my whole life!! Thank you! Do you have a “skincare routine” video?
You're hilarious - like goofy yet serious and well informed. Thanks for sharing- I am subscribing. I appreciate the objective, scientific approach and your thoroughness.. Also your comfort in videoing in Walgreens with people standing around and shopping is stellar. God bless you Doc.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and have a great night!
Totally agree with you regarding the Cetaphil wash. It's not an effective cleanser in my experience.
"Charcoal is if you were a barbecue "🤣🤣
Not only have I changed my skin care routine with your recommendations and started aplying adapalene every other night (waiting for the purge, which WILL happen) but I also find your videos so helpful to understand what my skin actually needs whithout spending my whole sallary. I spent years trying to find a dermatologist or even a esthetician that would tell me the real deal, and you carelessly help so many people aroubd the world. Sending love and happiness, hope you get all the joy and kindness you give to us. Love from Argentina!
Upon noticing aging signs, lol, I decided I wanted to learn about skincare. More than just a regime, but the ingredients and how to tell what’s crap and just a marketing scheme! You make it so fun, and knowledge. You recommended the neutrogena water boost moisturizer in the first video I watched, so I took the plunge. I’ve had it for 3 days and I LOVE it! I’ve NEVER loved a skincare product. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
thanks!! Glad you enjoy it Ms Meagan
For those of you who were looking to buy Vanicream in Canada and were wonderig why you couldn't find it, the reason is it marked under the name Cliniderm, hope that helps 😊
thanks for sharing this Ms Jennifer! Super helpful :
jennifer Beagle Do you know if Differin is sold under another name in Canada? I haven't seen it in the stores although it is made here.
gabbebelle No you cannot get it over the counter, you need a prescription.
Samtaplet thanks!
I can't find Cliniderm at all in Canada I don't know if they discontinued it?
I've been using orange neutrogena acne wash forever. Good to know a dermatologist likes it. The fragrance doesn't bother me
I literally just bought a bottle of this today but now I'm nervous about using it because of the fragrance... I have very sensitive skin 🥺 it's my own fault I failed to read the label
The Vanicream facial cleanser has changed my life!
I’ve changed all of my skincare since subscribing. Threw away the waters. Bought lots of sunscreens you recommended in 2’s for my daughter and I. We love the vani cream lip protection. Oh the under eye spf/color correction I bought off your link is my favorite. Yes, I use cereve all over including my face. It’s great. I love sunscreen now!!! Thank you! My only regret is not having this info sooner like in my 20’s.
I am requesting an Entire Vogue reimagining of Free Your Mind... as Free Your Pores. Smash the mirror, indeed! About a year ago, I read an interview with model and muse Ines de la Fressange, and when asked about dealing with aging and wrinkles, she said, "Don't put on your glasses, or stand further away from the mirror."
The beauty industry creates flaws, and so many of buy magnifying mirrors in which to hunt them.
Thanks for a great video!
They sure do!! I know they are in the business of selling and creating captivating images, but i think natural beauty is seriously seriously underplayed
Yes, they do! The worst part is that I worked in cosmetics ages ago, so I should know better. At least I worked for a brand that espoused sunscreen as a major part of skincare.
I don't have any skincare problems, really, but I like to be informed. Your videos are very educational to me. Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to share your knowledge.
Thanks!
the sass in this video is absolutely hilarious
Is anyone else bothered by her placing majority of the items she mentioned back on the shelf improperly or is it just me?
Great and informative video though.
Krista Evola oh yes I cringed a little every time! The info though was great.
The first item she placed wrong, I let it slide. But then she kept on doing it!!!
I didnt notice at first but now that you pointed it out im like 😱
What I love about American drugstore products is that they always list the active ingredients (and disclose the percentages) and the inactive ingredients. In my country, manufacturers are not required to do that and they just list the ingredients from the biggest to the least amount so I often don't know at what percentages the actives are.
Dr. Dray, Your Amazing with your knowledge and honesty! You are helping so many people plus saving us money! You are so genuinely appreciated. Love and Light 💖 Carli
Thanks Ms Carli and have a fantastic week!
Dazzli.
Whoa! You just saved me SO much money! I was planning to go to ulta and buy some more Clinique skin products. I'm gonna skip it and go to Walgreens and see how things go! Thank you thank you!
Awesome to hear!!
These kind of videos are my absolute favorite from you!!! OXOX from California! 🤗🎉
Thanks!
Katrina!!! ❤
Thank you for this. I'm not into all the fancy products and marketing. I just want to buy something that WORKS. I'd like to see a Mary Kay skincare product review!!!! I know quite a few women who sells Mary Kay and I wonder if their products rings true to the claims they present
Yes I would like to see the time wise line reviewed. It’s helped me quite a bit
I would love to see that too
My mom is also using the advanced timewise regimen and i can personally see improvements on her for 2 years that she has been using Mary Kay
I used to be a “ Consultant”. Getting the ingredients in the products was impossible. And I sold it. The best was the heavy pink moisturizer. I’ve always had dry skin and that was great but had fragrance for sure. When consumers wanted to know ingredients, that’s when Mary Kay ran into trouble.
Woo hoo. I have been using the Eucerin daily moisturizer with SPF forever.
I could listen to you talk about skincare all day.
Thanks Ms Raye :)
"You're not a barbecue," lol. My favorite cleanser is the Olay Gentle Clean Foaming Cleanser for Sensitive Skin and CeraVe Hydrating cleanser to remove eye makeup. Creamy cleansers seem to give me small breakouts, and the Olay works really well for me. Favorite moisturizers are the Neutrogena Oil Free and the CeraVe PM. Moisturizing my skin while wet has hydrated my undereyes better than any eye cream. Thanks for being brave enough to talk to yourself in Walgreens!
Lol! Yeah I do strum up some looks of "what the heck?" ...totally worth it :)
Love your straight talk about skin care! Your videos have been immensely helpful in navigating skin care options.
Just realizes that the Differin moisturiser is almost like-for-like identical to the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion. Makes sense, since they're both manufactured by Galderma...
I am so glad I have found your channel. You have made me realize all of the gimmicks that I have fallen for these past few years when it comes to face products
dr dray got some swagger to her
"adult gummies...that sounds suggestive" 😂😂😂
The big tub of Cetaphil moisturizer is something I CANNOT live without. I had keratosis polaris covering my legs and use this every time I take a shower. No smell, thick, and makes my legs feel soft the entire day 🔥
Mermaid Shawna I have been using the cetaphil tub moisturizer since I was kid and it’s the only thing that works with my sensitive, dry, and flaky skin! Love it so much
I’ve been watching UA-cam vids for the past 2 hrs trying to find good skincare items from the drugstore & I’m soooo happy I found her
I wish my doctor would talk to me this way lol i just found you and i love you!
I absolutely love your drugstore videos! Walgreens was always a fave place for me and now I can spend more time there with how much I'm learning from you! And your commentary is on point, both educational and hilarious! 👍🏽
thanks!
Lmbo i love ur jokes "asking about charcoal like your a bbq" ahaha i love u . New subbie here
Do you recommend putting tea tree oil on acne?
Dilute it if anything grape seed oil or olive oil / any other natural organic carrier oil your not allergic to
1. not recommended bc it's an oil
2. its heavily fragrant & can irritate the skin when it sits on the skin.
3. it dries out the area but then again so does tooth paste so it's really at your own risk?
tea tree is usually recommend on piercing scars, scalp treatments, for the feet etc not really for ance
I mean this is the best way possible but she is like a character on a show (like the office). The type of character I want as a friend! LOL. New favorite youtuber hands down! Never been so excited to find a new person to watch!! ♥️♥️
Your sassy and brutally honest nature has gained you a new subscriber. Thank you for saving me moneyyy!!!
I love this video!!!!
One of my favorite that u have done
Thanks for being so informative
Thanks Ms Victoria!!
On the CeraVe sunscreen, I buy Hard Candy's pigment drops the lightest one at Walmart and use one small drop in it to get the rid of the white cast. It works well.
Thanks for sharing this tip! Happy Monday :)
MzVikkee Anders Wow thanks for this tip. Will have to try it.
MzVikkee Anders what a great idea!!!! I have some cover fx that I drop into moisturizer. Never thought to add to my sunscreen
You may be my sunscreen hack hero!
Dr Dray i heard that mixing anything to a sunscreen messes up the spf. Can you clarify this for me please? Mineral sunscreens give me terrible white cast.
I have personally tried biome charcoal it was drying, burning, and reddening. But this was before I had found your channel and decided to not use many products on my face.
Thanks for sharing... i imagine charcoal on the face is very drying, and in combination with salicylic acid is probably even more so
this girl is a true healer I was looking for moms condition and I found the best to let her watch and learn
I love your attitude towards charcoal products! Lol! It IS in everything these days! A few weeks ago I accidentally bought the charcoal version of my favorite toothpaste. I opened it to find black toothpaste! I also use an electric toothbrush so you can imagine the polka dot mess in my sink. :-/ I did try a charcoal peel off mask once last year. It was so painful to remove, my eyes were watering the entire time! And the worst part is that it didn't do anything to clean my pores that my cleansers could do. In fact I ended up spending another half hour scrubbing off the black/gray residue from the perimeter of my face. The only masks I use now are moisturizing that can be rinsed or wiped off with a damp cloth.
Slather that moisturizer on after the bath."Tub on the tub" Words to live by, fellow eczema sufferers.
Unite!
Did anyone else cringe when she didn’t put things back correctly 🤔
Cortney Barlow are u a virgo
kat passion I’m a libra and i felt the same way lol
Yes!
kat passion No 😂
Yes!
your videos are so informative! Definitely won't be falling for those marketing lies again
Thanks Ms Jen!
"the skin is an organ system" The real deal. Genius! I'm a fan.
Dr dray can u please review SIMPLE SKIN CARE? What do you think of it?
She says she likes the brand!! I don’t know which video it was but I have been binging all of her “shop with me at the drugstore” videos so maybe try some of those to hear more of what she thinks about the brand!
I love the Cerave Hydrating face wash! It has saved my dry flaky skin. I also use cetaphil moisturizing cream, but want to try to cerave cream next!
They are good ones!
I bought the Vanicream moisturizer based on your recommendation and it is seriously one of the best moisturizers on the market in my opinion! My dry skin LOVES it! Thanks so much, Doc! Absolutely love your videos!
Love it!! Def fail proof in my opinion
Logical and honest. No BS. Very educational. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much!!
This is my favorite Dray video of all time.
Yass been using panoxyl religiously glad to hear its dermatologist approved
