Your debunking of marketing claims is so, so important. Such a gift to us consumers. Thank you so much for doing this, sharing your knowledge and time. And your position on caffeine V RELATABLE 😂😂 I cracked up As far as trends…possibly western interest in Hanbang skincare? Traditional Korean Medicinal skincare. Or maybe I’m just noticing it more because I know what it is now. Odile Monod has new videos on this topic, they are very interesting.
Beauty of Joseon and Pyunkang yul are both good lines. Dr Dray has mention both a few times. Also Sulwhasoo, but they use fragrance in some of their products
"What caffeine does for me, personally on a systemic level, is convert me into a human being from a gargoyle." The Mistress of Snark has achieved new levels of excellence! My day is made. Thank you!
I just love following dr Dray and knowing I’m being influenced by an actual doctor and not following crazy skincare trends, over worrying about which is the ingredient of the season and not believing in fear mongering propaganda. 🤗
there’s something about you that i like a lot.... some call it an “ aura” i think it’s that and your personality! It’s your spontaneity, matter-of-factness, confidence, intellect all mixed with some humor and beautiful skin too, that makes me want to watch your videos! Glad to see your channel doing so well! 🤩
Oh most definitely - I couldn't agree more. Personally, listening to and watching Dr. Dray is comforting to me like having a life-long best girl friend who'll always tell it like it is and have my best interests in mind 🤞🏽🧡✨️
Hey Dr. Dray, I do this weird little thing with my bar soaps, that may be a good tip for some of your viewers, who may not like it to be sitting in a dish for too long. When I get a new bar soap, I take a cheese planer and shave small slices, off the soap. Then, I store the slices in a Ball jar and take a new peice, every time I need soap. The sliver usually lasts a time or two and frankly, it makes me feel kind of fancy. The bar literally lasts forever! Hope you are having a nice day! And as always, thank you for all your great content! ❣️
Love this Andrea, as I read websites of companies during pandemic, your voice often pops up” no it’s not! “ no studies , where’s the data? What would we do without you? Thanks and happy 2022!!! ( hi to mom & tybee🐶) 🌹🌹
I’ve always heard such positive characteristics about niacinamide from so many skincare influencers, articles, etc. So, I decided to incorporate it into my skincare routine. My skin became red and irritated but I figured it was the other ingredients I was using, the changing of the seasons, my menstrual pattern, etc. It took me a year to realize that it was niacinamide this whole time. I took it out of my routine and my skin smoothed out almost instantly. Side note: I have very sensitive skin and it reacts if there’s a cloud in the sky 🙄
I went through a bottle and a half from The Ordinary and…nothing happened. Maybe because it helps with oily and acne-prone skin, which I don’t have. Though in your case, you may be allergic to it?
@@amygreen9662 I’m glad I’m not alone! More skin care influencers should talk about bad reactions they’ve had with this ingredient (if there are any haha).
Love how you got so passionate about the “hoochie coochie”. I get the same way when trainers and drs tell people with back pain to do crunches. NO, NO NO. Thanks for your knowledge!
I've found that European lip SPF to be so much better than its American counterparts. I have the Eucerin lip SPF that I bought in France, and I don't think I could ever go back. It's a chemical SPF that hydrates the skin without causing irritation or white cast.
I used to use Euro line of Lancome too & others. Euro- lines are way better. The corrupt FDA of course keeps the keeps them from us! French women have superior skin care made of natural ingredients & are fanatics about good care for their skin! The FDA is NOT here for our safety. They are govt type of mafia
Thanks Dr Dray for debunking suspect claims that cosmetic companies make . Cosmetic companies continue to make claims that confuse, manipulate and mislead people. Thanks for communicating the science. You have inspired me to persue a career in Nutrition xxxx
Concerning two and one body and facial moisturizer, I've always been extremely hesitant to use a body moisturizer on my face but one day was like f it and used the cerave moisturizing cream on my face... absolute game changer. My face looks so freaking good. I've always had an issue with grease and shine from all face moisturizer and using this stuff literally gives me a matte finish that lasts all day. I don't know why and I don't care it's amazing. Also you are like the only person I've ever heard say that that's totally fine to do so thank you!
I do love your humor! 😂So basically we should ignore all the ridiculous claims made by just about every brand and stick to a simple, fragrance free skin care routine and sunscreen. Sounds good to me!! Thanks Dr Dray!! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💗
Dr Dray, Regarding cleansing bars, just in case you didn't read my reply to your reply; I have ordered you an (angled) leaf shaped soap dish, seeing that you said they sounded like clever invention. They drain the water off the cleaning bar/soap straight away, into the sink. There wasn't a "CeraVe blue" so I chose the grey...a smaller more suitably compact one for you. It will be delivered via "The Amazonian" later in the month. 👱♀️❤
Yes petrolatum truly is the best for lips, I've tried every natural alternative with oils and jazzy smell and taste and color and the best is Cerave Healing ointment hands down 👍
Thanks Dr Dray, this was hilarious to watch 😂 Also, I am so thankful for you and other UA-cam dermatologists who break down what you should actually be doing to your skin instead of focusing on buying every product that is pumped out and promised to do something for you. The skincare market really has become impossible to navigate on your own, and without the right guidance you could end up spending a lot of money for worsening your skin. That happened to me a year ago when I was getting my advice from a podcast by self-proclaimed "skincare experts" who were actually not skincare experts at all 😐Their advice included remarks such as "natural ingredients are more nutritious" and "getting some sun is good for your skin". Gah! Thank god I found you and my skin is now next to flawless.
You recommended that giant pump jar of Advanced Clinicals of retinol to use for body and face once and I bought it. It's amazing. Thanks for helping me understand that things that I would usually only use on the body can also be used on the face. I've been doing that with Eucerin too and it has really helped my face because of the AHA.
OMG, I enjoyed the bakuchiol rant way too much. I need to save that bit and watch it every time I get annoyed by skin care marketing. "It's NOT. IT IS NOT!" 😂😍
In terms of sustainable and minimal packaging products, it would be great to see a dermatologist review of the Ethique skin care and shampoo/conditioner bars if you are able to try them out.
Ha ha! When you mentioned aluminium packaging, I had hoped a manufacturer would use it for anti-perspirants...out of sheer devilment! Thanks Dove! Just because aluminium has the atomic number 13, doesn't mean it's bad luck! I think it's worse luck being smelly. 👱♀️❤
I find it crucial to consult your channel before incorporating any new active ingredients/products into my skincare routine. I appreciate your knowledge and consistency in your product recommendations and review. I wonder if you’d consider making a video about pregnancy-safe products and/or active ingredients.
#1 is true! I switched back to bar soap for my body and face last year for environmental purposes. I LOVE the cerave moisturizing facial bar soap. I just wish that they were cruelty free :(
I'm late to watching this video, but thanks for the information...especially on bakuchiol - I've been seeing that more lately and hearing a lot of misinformation. And you look so lovely in this video - not as sweaty/damp/moist/shiny as in many videos. I know 'dewy' or what's that other goofy descriptor that is so 'popular'...oh, yes, 'glowing' is what they are calling it now, but people look best when lights don't glare off their foreheads and cheeks as if they need to towel off after going for a run on a hot day.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 more videos like this one!! I’ve always found it very difficult to tell apart false & subjective marketing claims from real scientific data on these type of websites. Thanks for all you do!!!
Love the video! So about the plastic. Only about 8% of plastic actually gets recycled. Doesn’t matter how much is put in the recycling bin - this is what the final number is. While it can be melted into pellets and reused to form other stuff it’s usually not cost effective so businesses will trash the old and make new. Metal, glass, and no packaging are the best choices. The metal and glass allow for it to be more easily reused. Aluminum can be recycled around 9ish times. Glass can just continuously be recycled. Some recycling centers have weird rules, like ones that don’t take any glass, so important to check before putting it in so it isn’t tossed.
I’m late to responding, but thanks for this info. I’m trying to reduce my plastic use for this reason. I didn’t know exactly how little plastic was recycled. I’m veering toward aluminum, glass, and zero packaging when I can.
Love Dr.Dray getting passionate and fiery debunking the bs stuff they put out there lol. Really enlightening how much non-fact based stuff they put out there like it's true. Seems like some of that stuff is just fluff made on the fly.
You are so educated and smart and just amazing. I literally purchase everything you suggest. Thanks for all of your information. I appreciate you !! I always sunscreen every day because of of what I’ve learned from you !!
I used to love Allure and their writers, but the last few years, well I don’t understand how they have gotten to this place of perpetuating dis truths about skincare. Thanks for your clarity
I so agree when they first came out in the early 90's their magazine was so different then anything out there. I subscribed to that magazine for like two decades it was my go to magazine. When Linda Wells was the editor and chief it was a terrific magazine then when she left it went to shit and I dropped my subscription. Now you cant even find this magazine in stores in my area with the exception of Barnes and Noble. That right there tells me all I need to know about how it has gone downhill.
Dr. Dray, I would highly recommend you trying the UA-cam shorts hack of applying mascara to the lashes with the wand held vertically. This way, you deposit the mascara quickly at the base of the lash, then use the wand to brush outward. Brilliant. I tried with L’Oreal Voluminous Original. Thanks for everything!
Cetaphil bar Cleanser is my favourite! I picked up a 3 pack and it has been a life saver! Takes up less space, good for my skin, way less expensive! Love it!
Really disappointed about bakuchiol. I just recently started using this serum at night under my moisturizer. I thought it was a more natural alternative to retinol. I guess it’s back to retinol for me.
I just want to say, you look gorgeous! I've been watching you for years, and you look better with each one! Thank you for all you do, and I hope you and your family have a great 2022!
_Uchi Kuchi Bakuchi_ 🌿🧪✨ The Musical. Starring: Andrea Dray. You explaining bakuchiol is a whole mood 😍🙌🏻 Everybody knows that this plant comes from the main city of Azerbaijan. It' s beyond obvious😝
I love a lot of the La Roche Posay products I just wish they were cruelty free but the Citaplast Balm B5 omg that product is the BOMB especially if you live in an area like me where winter just destroys your skin. I am also using the Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF 30. I try to stay cruelty free as much as possible and my heart feels so guilty buying and using these products on my skin.
Thank you,Doc. For stopping me jumping in to all new hyped products. I need you in my life to explain it and to bring me back from this skincare madness BS.
SO HELPFUL! Thank you for debunking false claims and being crystal clear with facts and ingredients. Despite knowing Retinoic acid is the gold standard for skin smoothing, I had Backuchiol in my shopping cart (hoping to replace Retin-A Micro Rx, because I cannot manage to use it without peeling/burning). This was after watching a few videos from a derms, esthetician and plastic surgeon Dr. Ranjani ("Bakuchiol can be used for many instead of retinols"). I won't be removing retinals from my routine now.
I bought that Dove deodorant for travel. It is a solid and smaller than an average deodorant. When I travel, I don't check my bags, so I need my liquids to be limited. It worked well enough.
Also, I would love to see your take on shampoo bars! I’ve tired several and they tend to be incredibly drying. There was one from Lush that was really nice - but it was pretty expensive and obviously loaded with fragrance ( which doesn’t bother me for shampoo/conditioner).
I know Drew Barrymore talks up the Garnier bar soap. She claims it’s not drying and gentle enough to not need conditioner, etc., but I’ve never tried it firsthand.
I'm still waiting for asian sunscreen companies to make 200ml sunscreen tubes... I'm tried of those tiny cute tubes. That will be less wasteful for the environment.
Me too. Pharmacist & Toxicologist Mo (UA-cam's Mo's skin Lab) discusses this well. A lot of celebrities just bung their name on already available formulations and packaging. Some go to the time, effort and expense to create their own formulations and packaging, which is more costly. Good luck to them if they are doing it with integrity and not giving out misinformation to impressionable fans. Many celebrity perfumes are just synthetic "lolly/candy water" that smells cheap and (thankfully) doesn't last. As I'm a grown up, so I prefer real perfume. Although, I did buy the Fiat 500 fragrance to match my car, as the cute packaging is modeled on the car. So I can understand if people buy a perfume to support a celebrity/brand they like and/or for the aesthetic appeal of the bottle. They're a good way to personalise and decorate your bedroom/bathroom. 👱♀️❤
If I forgot to say this, I'm sorry, Happy New Year @DrDray and everyone on here! Thanks for much for another year of such wonderful information and your sense of humor! May God protect and bless you and your Mom! Much love and appreciation!
I can’t wait to find out what you think of Topicals, especially the Faded Cream. It’s seriously THE BEST at evening out skin tone and fading hyperpigmentation. It works circles around hydroquinone. I use and LOVE all 4 of their products 😍
Love your content and info Dr. Dray! I've actually had numerous gastroenterologists tell me that if the skin care or hair care has gluten in it that I should avoid it, due to the fact that that hair gets in the mouth, or that hands can brush against our lips without us thinking about it. (I have Crohn's Disease & Celiac Sprue.) It probably depends on the severity of the condition and the placement of the product in proximity to the mouth or mucus membrane. I've since found that certain products I seem fine with if it's lower on the list, but if it's around the lips and can be ingested, it's a big no no.
I can imagine that it might be problematic for people with celiac sprue. but that has nothing to do with sustanability. it makes no sense as well as you would say, its a good sustainable thing a product is carrot-free because there are people out there who are allergic to them..
I love it when you rant Bc you rant for good reason. Also, coffee shape shifts me from a goblin to a human every morning. ❤️❤️ thanks for steering us through the marketing wasteland to the truth!!!
Happy New Year! Great idea for a video. It would be so nice if there was something really innovative and new this year. Skincare can be really fun but only when it’s effective...
Can’t wait for your Faded Topicals review! I’m currently using the serum on a tube, which honestly smells foul, but hoping it will work to fade my acne scars. LOL at Dove’s aluminum packaging. Makes me wanna buya bunch of them and gift them to aluminum-fearmongers.
Thank you for telling it like it is! I've been gobsmacked a few times reading skin care product claims. How gluten free makes any difference at all was a mystery to me. Thank you for debunking marketing claims that are misleading and baseless. Too bad there is so little regulation of this type of claim. Bar soap - used for decades without a problem.
Thank you for the information shared around each of these “trends” ! When talking about body acne on a next video, especially after watching Cassandra Bankson’s recent upload on that subject, could you please make sure you look up the Europe-available options? Thank you in advance and fir all of your work!
🤣🤣🤣...this video was just so much fun to watch..... love it when Dr.Dray gets excited about all that new hype.... specially the aluminum issue!!!👍👍👍👍pretty earrings by the way !!!!
The ONLY lip SPF I've ever had success with is Rohto Mentholatum's Melty Cream Lip Balm, specifically the matcha one! It's the only one I've tried that doesn't have menthol/mint/eucalyptus, doesn't burn/sting, doesn't leave a white cast, and isn't drying. It's amazing!❤️❤️❤️ I had almost given up on ever finding one I loved.
Happy Tuesday! There are so many items with different products! Reviewing some of the articles is very informative and will surely help many people who tend to believe everything they read.
Absolutely correct about the natural deodorant causing irritation! It burned my pits so bad. And I followed the directions to the letter! Saw a tip on a forum of using a gentle glycolic peel solution to help with odor, and I can say, it does work for me. Being menopausal and having bad BO, really sucked. I was desperate enough to give it a try, and low and behold, it worked like a charm. Lol. Of course, I still use my deodorant, but when i start to get a hint of that stronger oder, I do the glycolic again.
Could it be a medication (not necessarily for menopause) you are taking that is causing the body odour rather than menopause itself? This happened to me once, (however it was not menopause medication); so I asked my doctor to prescribe an alternative. Menopause can cause hot flashes/flushes and sweating of course, but I was unaware of it causing strong body odour as well. Perhaps ask your doctor or pharmacist what is actually causing the body odour? Good luck! 👱♀️❤
Hi! My mother is an environmental scientist and explained to me this about aluminium: the thing with it is that it's very expensive, so for most waste processing plants it's profitable to recover it with a Foucault magnet even from the normal trash. That means that a really big portion of the aluminium packages we use (like cans) is going to be recycled anyway, regardless of where we throw it away. I don't know if this makes it more or less sustainable than other packagings, but it gets mostly recycled.
I am currently writing a paper for a university class, we made a survey about the product country image. Therfore I had to do a lot of research on the reality of sustainability in products. A lot of papers show, that sustainability is super complex and its not easily defined by just one factor. For example in Germany a lot of people think, that the Spanish tomato is bad because of the transportation from Spain to Germany, but it's actually not the problem when it comes to CO2 production, in fact it's the smallest issue when it comes to this. It's already so complex for scientists to do a life cycle assessment for a product to find out its sustainability so it's not as simple as saying "oh this is bad so it's not sustainable". Sustainability is complex and not as easy as we wish it would be.
I need a love button. I love when she calls out the BS of the marketing of products and ingredients that aren’t necessary.
I was thinking the same exact thing! She is sassy in this video; I love it 💕
I love when Dr. Dray puts a hammer 🔨 on this nonsense. She keeps us informed and doesn’t undermine us.
Hell yea 💪
Can't get enough of the Bakuchiol rant! So many good call-outs in this video. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
"what caffeine does for me personally on a systemic level is convert me into a human being from a gargoyle" I almost choked on my green tea 😂
Yes! So funny! 😂
I had the same reaction! I also strongly identified with that remark! 👌👍😂
Yeah, that was my favorite line too. And I'm with her on that. Coffee is the best part f the morning.
Right lol
That's a bar
Your debunking of marketing claims is so, so important. Such a gift to us consumers. Thank you so much for doing this, sharing your knowledge and time. And your position on caffeine V RELATABLE 😂😂 I cracked up
As far as trends…possibly western interest in Hanbang skincare? Traditional Korean Medicinal skincare. Or maybe I’m just noticing it more because I know what it is now. Odile Monod has new videos on this topic, they are very interesting.

I would love a hanbag mainstream line. History of Woo is super expensive... a girl can dream.
"What caffeine does for me, personally on a systemic level, is convert me into a human being from a gargoyle." The Mistress of Snark has achieved new levels of excellence! My day is made. Thank you!
So you're telling me my ex just needs caffeine?
I just love following dr Dray and knowing I’m being influenced by an actual doctor and not following crazy skincare trends, over worrying about which is the ingredient of the season and not believing in fear mongering propaganda. 🤗
there’s something about you that i like a lot.... some call it an “ aura”

@@user-mi5xq8zj7u that’s a good thought. You’re probably spot on to be honest.
@@amygreen9662 I’m glad I’m not alone!

I can find it irritating in some formulas too. I’ve been trying to avoid it now

Cetaphil bar Cleanser is my favourite! I picked up a 3 pack and it has been a life saver! Takes up less space, good for my skin, way less expensive! Love it!
That bakuchiol rant was 💯! 😂👍🏼
Can't wait to see those Dove antiperspirant containers on the shelves. I'll definitely be purchasing. Thanks for another lovely video 😀
Thank you. You're my go too for skincare advice! As a nurse I appreciate your expertise. ! You are a wealth of knowledge❤😊💕
Some of you may be happy to know that Dove is actually cruelty-free. Love the classic beauty bar.
yes all there products seem to be now but this is a recent thing may be the past two yrs before that they were not cruelty-free unfortunately
but is it unilever actually cruelty free?
@@muhammadzikri8492 Unilever still sells brands that are NOT cruelty free. Hopefully, eventually ALL their brands will be one day.
do you use this on your face or just body?
@@bdelightful12 sometimes for my face, always for my hands and body.
Really disappointed about bakuchiol. I just recently started using this serum at night under my moisturizer. I thought it was a more natural alternative to retinol. I guess it’s back to retinol for me.
I just want to say, you look gorgeous! I've been watching you for years, and you look better with each one! Thank you for all you do, and I hope you and your family have a great 2022!
Love this review! Your honesty and passion for keeping us all informed (with added humor) is appreciated! 🙌
Went to target the other day and bought the “ BYBI “ Milk Melt cleanser.. want to hear Dr . Dray’s opinion on their line of products :)
Love this cleanser!
I just bought this too and am excited to try once I finish my current cleanser
Haven’t tried a Milk product I didn’t like yet.

You explaining bakuchiol is a whole mood 😍🙌🏻 Everybody knows that this plant comes from the main city of Azerbaijan. It' s beyond obvious😝
preach 🙌🏽 for everything you said on celebrity skincare line part
I loved this video! Thank You. Also, you are so gorgeous. I swear, every video you look more and more like you are glowing and your hair is so shiny.
I soo enjoy watching you Dr Dray, hugs to your mom , miss her lots 🧡
I love a lot of the La Roche Posay products I just wish they were cruelty free but the Citaplast Balm B5 omg that product is the BOMB especially if you live in an area like me where winter just destroys your skin. I am also using the Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF 30. I try to stay cruelty free as much as possible and my heart feels so guilty buying and using these products on my skin.
This video had me laughing so many times…I love your truthful comments! “Coffee turns me into a human from a gargoyle” 🤣
Thank you,Doc. For stopping me jumping in to all new hyped products. I need you in my life to explain it and to bring me back from this skincare madness BS.
SO HELPFUL! Thank you for debunking false claims and being crystal clear with facts and ingredients. Despite knowing Retinoic acid is the gold standard for skin smoothing, I had Backuchiol in my shopping cart (hoping to replace Retin-A Micro Rx, because I cannot manage to use it without peeling/burning). This was after watching a few videos from a derms, esthetician and plastic surgeon Dr. Ranjani ("Bakuchiol can be used for many instead of retinols"). I won't be removing retinals from my routine now.
You get better and better. As ur followers have increased u target their concerns, while also educating us on recent research.
This may be one of your best videos yet!
Yeah, give it to them, Dr. Dray! 💪🏼💪🏼
This is definitely the year of Sunscreen, Tretinoin, double cleansing, and a bland moisturizer! The golden girls. 👧👧👧👧
I feel like the past 2 years have been the years of these too 😄
@@barbieblue3336 Nothing is “for everyone” and trends are no different…😂😂😂
And over the winter, petroleum jelly over Cerave on my body, and PJ for my lips.
I bought that Dove deodorant for travel. It is a solid and smaller than an average deodorant. When I travel, I don't check my bags, so I need my liquids to be limited. It worked well enough.
I love this video so much. The way she semi loses her chill when calling out BS is hilarious!
Also, I would love to see your take on shampoo bars! I’ve tired several and they tend to be incredibly drying. There was one from Lush that was really nice - but it was pretty expensive and obviously loaded with fragrance ( which doesn’t bother me for shampoo/conditioner).
She's mentioned in a couple videos that she's not a fan due to them possibly leaving residue on the scalp/hair.
@@db-gb5xi Awesome, thanks!
I figured I’d throw it out there since she asked if we were interested in shampoo bars towards the end of this video.
I know Drew Barrymore talks up the Garnier bar soap. She claims it’s not drying and gentle enough to not need conditioner, etc., but I’ve never tried it firsthand.
Some one who does talk about shampoo bars is Shelbizleee. Hers is a zero waste channel and her degree is in Environmental Science.
You two are awesome, thank you for the info!
I'm still waiting for asian sunscreen companies to make 200ml sunscreen tubes... I'm tried of those tiny cute tubes. That will be less wasteful for the environment.
You and me both!
Derma B is a chemical spf 50+ sunscreen on yesstyle that comes in a 200ml bottles.
I LOST it at “some people wont stand near an aluminum Christmas ornament” 🤣😂
I don't know if it's just me, but Influencer/celebrity skincare lines are a major turnoff for me
Same here 🙋🏼♀️
Me too. Pharmacist & Toxicologist Mo (UA-cam's Mo's skin Lab) discusses this well. A lot of celebrities just bung their name on already available formulations and packaging. Some go to the time, effort and expense to create their own formulations and packaging, which is more costly.
Good luck to them if they are doing it with integrity and not giving out misinformation to impressionable fans.
Many celebrity perfumes are just synthetic "lolly/candy water" that smells cheap and (thankfully) doesn't last. As I'm a grown up, so I prefer real perfume. Although, I did buy the Fiat 500 fragrance to match my car, as the cute packaging is modeled on the car. So I can understand if people buy a perfume to support a celebrity/brand they like and/or for the aesthetic appeal of the bottle. They're a good way to personalise and decorate your bedroom/bathroom.

@@nadab4750 so, so true! 😊
Loving the CosRX Lip Sleep. Fragrance free thick ceramide lip butter. Highly recommend. Found it at Ulta
Ohhh have to try this
I love this woman, I’ve learned so much from Dr. Dray. I’ve never had coffee in my life so I can’t relate, but her obsession with coffee cracks me up.
If I forgot to say this, I'm sorry, Happy New Year @DrDray and everyone on here! Thanks for much for another year of such wonderful information and your sense of humor! May God protect and bless you and your Mom! Much love and appreciation!
I can’t wait to find out what you think of Topicals, especially the Faded Cream. It’s seriously THE BEST at evening out skin tone and fading hyperpigmentation. It works circles around hydroquinone. I use and LOVE all 4 of their products 😍
I was just looking at this product and wondering if it really works
Love your content and info Dr. Dray!
I've actually had numerous gastroenterologists tell me that if the skin care or hair care has gluten in it that I should avoid it, due to the fact that that hair gets in the mouth, or that hands can brush against our lips without us thinking about it. (I have Crohn's Disease & Celiac Sprue.) It probably depends on the severity of the condition and the placement of the product in proximity to the mouth or mucus membrane. I've since found that certain products I seem fine with if it's lower on the list, but if it's around the lips and can be ingested, it's a big no no.
I can imagine that it might be problematic for people with celiac sprue. but that has nothing to do with sustanability. it makes no sense as well as you would say, its a good sustainable thing a product is carrot-free because there are people out there who are allergic to them..
"pores are not doors they can't be opened and closed"....love it!
I love it when you rant Bc you rant for good reason. Also, coffee shape shifts me from a goblin to a human every morning. ❤️❤️ thanks for steering us through the marketing wasteland to the truth!!!
14:40 Ooooh definitely a review ive been waiting for ! The topicals faded has some impressive ingredients
Dr Alexis Stephens is a fan of these products and has mentioned them in several videos including her top 5 holy grail video.
@@db-gb5xi Yeees ! I do follow her too. My south east asian self appreciates the skincare advise for skin of color.
Happy New Year! Great idea for a video. It would be so nice if there was something really innovative and new this year. Skincare can be really fun but only when it’s effective...
Happy New Year 🎊
Andrea I love your channel. You are no nonsense. You tell it like it is. And you crack me up when you're commenting on the BS.
Can’t wait for your Faded Topicals review! I’m currently using the serum on a tube, which honestly smells foul, but hoping it will work to fade my acne scars.
LOL at Dove’s aluminum packaging. Makes me wanna buya bunch of them and gift them to aluminum-fearmongers.
Thank you for telling it like it is! I've been gobsmacked a few times reading skin care product claims. How gluten free makes any difference at all was a mystery to me. Thank you for debunking marketing claims that are misleading and baseless. Too bad there is so little regulation of this type of claim. Bar soap - used for decades without a problem.
Love it when you get feisty, Doc. You rock!
I just LOVE when you get on your rants.. tell ‘em girl! 😆 great video. 👌🏼
my favorite type of dr dray video 😂 literally coming for everyone
Thank you for always being so honest and telling us the real deal of skin products,
I’m actually very surprised you mention Dove! I thought it wasn’t that good for you but thank you for clarifying!
Thank you for the information shared around each of these “trends” ! When talking about body acne on a next video, especially after watching Cassandra Bankson’s recent upload on that subject, could you please make sure you look up the Europe-available options? Thank you in advance and fir all of your work!
WOWWWWW u look GORGEOUS the color suits ur skin perfectly it looks so good on you and those pretty jewelries, and no need to mention ur glowing skin😍😍
🤣🤣🤣...this video was just so much fun to watch..... love it when Dr.Dray gets excited about all that new hype.... specially the aluminum issue!!!👍👍👍👍pretty earrings by the way !!!!
The ONLY lip SPF I've ever had success with is Rohto Mentholatum's Melty Cream Lip Balm, specifically the matcha one!
It's the only one I've tried that doesn't have menthol/mint/eucalyptus, doesn't burn/sting, doesn't leave a white cast, and isn't drying. It's amazing!❤️❤️❤️ I had almost given up on ever finding one I loved.
LOVE Rohto Mentholatum. Except their bb cream. I love everything else I’ve tried.
Happy Tuesday! There are so many items with different products! Reviewing some of the articles is very informative and will surely help many people who tend to believe everything they read.
Happy Tuesday
I have so much respect for you.
Start your own skincare !!!!
Absolutely correct about the natural deodorant causing irritation! It burned my pits so bad. And I followed the directions to the letter! Saw a tip on a forum of using a gentle glycolic peel solution to help with odor, and I can say, it does work for me. Being menopausal and having bad BO, really sucked. I was desperate enough to give it a try, and low and behold, it worked like a charm. Lol. Of course, I still use my deodorant, but when i start to get a hint of that stronger oder, I do the glycolic again.
Could it be a medication (not necessarily for menopause) you are taking that is causing the body odour rather than menopause itself? This happened to me once, (however it was not menopause medication); so I asked my doctor to prescribe an alternative. Menopause can cause hot flashes/flushes and sweating of course, but I was unaware of it causing strong body odour as well. Perhaps ask your doctor or pharmacist what is actually causing the body odour? Good luck!

Thank you doc for always calling out the marketing BS and scams.
Ooh, can't wait for the shampoo bar review!
Hi! My mother is an environmental scientist and explained to me this about aluminium: the thing with it is that it's very expensive, so for most waste processing plants it's profitable to recover it with a Foucault magnet even from the normal trash. That means that a really big portion of the aluminium packages we use (like cans) is going to be recycled anyway, regardless of where we throw it away. I don't know if this makes it more or less sustainable than other packagings, but it gets mostly recycled.
Great, honest video! Thank you Dr. Dray! Happy New Year.
I am currently writing a paper for a university class, we made a survey about the product country image. Therfore I had to do a lot of research on the reality of sustainability in products. A lot of papers show, that sustainability is super complex and its not easily defined by just one factor. For example in Germany a lot of people think, that the Spanish tomato is bad because of the transportation from Spain to Germany, but it's actually not the problem when it comes to CO2 production, in fact it's the smallest issue when it comes to this. It's already so complex for scientists to do a life cycle assessment for a product to find out its sustainability so it's not as simple as saying "oh this is bad so it's not sustainable". Sustainability is complex and not as easy as we wish it would be.
Looking forward to this video! Have a great day Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ 😎🥳💅
Happy Tuesday Reed 🤗 enjoy
