[@daniellemiller1597]

Hi dr Idriss, I am a 74 year old French woman living in the US. I’ve just discovered your channel and I have been binging on yourvideos. I found this episode very interesting: My mother had beautiful skin up to her 80’s. When I grew up, she never had disposable income to spend on expensive skin care. Our family doctor advised to do use glycerin instead. This was in the early 50s, and she did so all her life on face and hands. Some years ago, I bought some glycerin at CVS but it was not like it. It was very thick and syrupy and unpleasant on the skin. I discovered recently the Now brand on Amazon. It is still quite thick but I use it on my legs and arms as my skin is very dry and dehydrated. Nowdays I have the luxury of having time for it to be absorbed. I will try some of the products you suggested. I have over the years tried the Norwegian cream . It is very efficatious on the hands in winter, but I hate the feel. Can’t wait to see what you are coming with with your new formula. Keep up with ‘Shereen University”. Besides being very enjoyable, it is useful in making wiser choices and better use of our products. A big thank you!

[@rezuanachowdhury6073]

I dilute glycerin with water to get rid of the stickiness. Works for me.

[@3kboom]

I feel the same way.. i hate the feeling of glycerin on my skin and glycerin based products 😑
I guess i could water it down but doesn’t that beat the purpose? I would be watering everything else down… and if i have hard water….
I also heard from a reputable dr i personally know, that glycerin feeds bacteria. He recommends against antibacterial hand gels, specially the ones with glycerin bc not only do they not actually work to kill bacteria, the glycerin actually feeds the bacteria.
Nothing beats your good ol’ warm water and soap hand wash.
I still stay away from glycerin. I do put an occlusive oil over my HA containing products.
I prefer oil to sticky glycerin. It feels more natural.

I absolutely adore your channel!! I share it with all my friends and family whenever they ask for my advice on skin care formulas and products. It's so important to get facts from people in the business like doctors, chemists, and aestheticians. Thank you for all the content and no-frills, honest recommendations. It has truly helped me in gathering data to determine what I should stay away from and the percentages of actives I should stick to for my poor dry, sensitive skin.
I was hoping you could go through some suggestions for people with eczema prone skin, especially those of us that get it in our face, neck and chest area. As I've gotten older my skin has become more sensitive and it has been a challenge to find formulas that are effective for brightening and texture issues that won't cause a flare up.

[@meme03beauty]

Just came across you video while researching glycerin. I love the way you explain it all in a creative and easy to understand instead of doctor talk. You go a follower now.

[@99994139]

please talk about face oils like rosehip seed oil and Avocado oil .
by the way the view is amazing

[@msk-qp6fn]

My recent fave sunscreen (mustela hybrid sunscreen) has avocado oil and i love it

[@user-lk3dw1rg5y]

I'd really like that ,too .And argan oil.And using pure oils directly on your skin and does that help.Because I have dry skin

[@EspadasYCopas]

Ive tried that and makes things worst.i change to an emulsion with petrolatum and vegetable oils and works for my dehydrated skin.

Love your Let’s Get Intimate series! I’ve been an ingredient nerd for decades, but I always learn something new from you and get a big laugh too! Thanks!

[@friedpicklechips]

I’ve mixed food grade rose water 15:1 with glycerin from the drugstore and sprayed it on my face every morning before moisturizer and then make up since 1994. A 90-year-old woman with beautiful skin told me about it back then, and I’ve used it ever since. It works.

[@Jennielengo]

Do you use it during the day? Or do you have to wash it off in the morning?

[@inesferreira1873]

Hi Dr. Shereene! I can say your channel and your advise has transformed the way I take care of my skin. It is just so pragmatic and straight to the point, love it.

[@alwaysgambaru]

Glycerin I've found so wonderful for deeply hydrating and maintaining that hydration throughout the day! At high percentages I feel it helps to "seal in" moisture. I've recently started using the La Roche Posay Cicaplast hand cream as my facial moisturizer. It has 30% glycerin and 4% niacinamide. It's has a almost like a super thick gel consistency. I absolutely love it. It layers great under my sunscreen too.

I've seen your video about Hyalauric Acid. Haha. Started to do a checklist of ingredients that I need to put into my face. Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), Retinoid (Retinoic Acid or the RetinAL), since retinol I guess I am not fan of base on your video as well (Efficacy issue). Your videos are very educational and I guess you can prescribe us by just watching your videos. Lol. Keep it up, Dr. Shereene.

Thanks for reminding us of the wonders of glycerin. Please consider doing a session on the discoloration of skin especially on the legs due to diabetes and other medical conditions.🌻

Your videos have made me think that the ingredients world is just the same as human world; the ones who really have the ability to do the most are often underappreciated or unheard of, while the ones who only do little become the famous ones 😅 You have made me rooting for glycerin, vit C, and retinol.

Many years ago, having read that glycerin soap was good for the skin, I bought glycerin bars to wash my hands but noticed that the skin on my hands was drier. I started thinking if something attracts water, where is it getting the water from? It seemed to be that it was from my hands, so stopped using it. However, when I see it included in products, I don't have any problems. Listening to this detailed description has taught me glycerin is not an enemy.

[@loreleilee5934]

I use Pears Natural Glycerin Soap to cleanse, and a glycerin moisturizer. I NEVER go in the sun, but take Vitamin D supplements instead, as we absorb it from the sun and need it for strong bones and teeth. As women, we’re prone to Osteoporosis as well. I also take prenatal vitamins and Vitamin C. I drink a lot of water as well. I’m 57 and haven’t a wrinkle or spot on my face, chest or body. She’s right about glycerin and drinking plenty of water. I’ve never had any work or injections. From one Doc to another, she knows what she’s talking about!

[@marconemeth9683]

La Roche-Posay has an amazing glycerin based calming serum - Toleriane Ultra Dermallegro serum. It has HA and betaine too but the star is glycerin in it high in the INCI list.

[@kathyburton3142]

I have a concealer with glycerin and it's amazing. Sits on top of the skin and doesn't get drank up by my dry skin I might start mixing glycerin into my foundation.

[@NitaLink81]

Yes! I bought glycerin and rosewater a while back and it made such a fantastic difference on my skin. Now I just buy a bottle of glycerin and mix it with distilled water like u showed in your video, and use it to fill up a mist bottle. I love it!!! I feel like it really lasts a long time. And also I feel like like I can't over hydrate with it.
