Your recommendation of the Gold Bond pure moisture has totally changed my moisturizing face game. I've turned my husband onto it as well. We each have our own separate bottle! Thank you again for all that you do. Still can't believe this content is free! Your generosity, intelligence, and awesome skills as a teacher are helping so many!
Lol I am not religious or into MLMs, but I am so into these new Gold Bond lotions, it's getting scary! I can't stop telling people! That formula is incredible, urea is def my holy grail ingredient (plus the elegant touchfeel of these products is a very nice bonus), and my skin is doing sooo good, even thru an unexpected serious weight loss (handled now). And the price 💕 I just feel so pleased using it and comparing it to my fancy lotions in quality (GB is as good or better) and then in price ($40/oz or $.85/oz ??? 😂)... I love goats milk for hand lotion, and buy from a North Dakota farm, so I don't mind the extra cost, but it's hilarious to me that my hand lotion costs more than my very effective face cream.
@Montana Nerd it was always my dream to be rich enough to slather face cream all over my body LOL. Like I would always imagine that's what J lo did. I'm not rich now but little did I know that my dream would be realized with Gold Bond!😂😂
When you mutter to us about skin products in stores, it feels like a Regency-era ballroom scene where you’re catching us up to speed on all the clever, sassy gossip 💁♀️.
I have noticed this too. I have the CVS rewards program and they send me money off coupons all the time often 40% and they will allow you to use multiple coupons on one item. If you are careful you can get a substantial savings. Frankly I don’t buy anything at CVS unless I have coupons that will make the final cost less than Target.
@@paulachristie7807 Me too! I will only go in there to buy one product at a time using my $10/month AND a 40% off coupon! They are losing money on me:)
Thanks for these drug store skin care. I always wondered why my dermatologist PA never mentioned any skin care products. I looked at her website and most products are well over $150. . I’m not willing to spend that on my 80 year old skin
Have tried, and love, the Gold Bond Pure and the Gold Bond Retinol...both for face and body. I use the Gold Bond Pure in the morning and the retinol in the evening. I replaced my Neutrogena rapid Wrinkle repair cream, which I used for years, with the Gold Bond retinol. I always wanted to slather the Neutrogena rapid Wrinkle repair cream all over my body but, at that price, couldn't afford it. Gold Bond Retinol has helped my skin tremendously, and it's only been a few weeks. I also picked up the Kroeger tinted sunscreen that you recommended yesterday. It's just as good as Neutrogena tinted sunscreen, that you recommended a few weeks ago, and much cheaper. Thanks for helping us get beautiful skin on a budget. Been watching you from your first UA-cam video and my skin, at 66, looks fabulous. People stop me in the street and ask me what I'm using on my skin. My dermatologist even asks me. I tell them all...watch Dr Dray on UA-cam! Thanks, Dr Dray, for good skin at low prices.
I know I'm not alone in my appreciation for the drug store and Wal-Mart skin care videos. I'm so thankful for them. I've never been one to spend a ridiculous amount on skin care but I admit that I've been suckered in occasionally over the years to spend more than I should. Always with disappointment. You've helped me realize that keeping my skin care simple and fragrance free is all I need. Thanks for all you do for us! Happy Friday, Dr Dray!! Hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a fantastic weekend! 💕
Oh my goodness! PLEASE! DO NOT send me back to the buff puff era. Back in the day I was told to scrub, scrub, scrub my cystic acne with a buff puff. I was told that my acne was due to dirty skin and oils. Thankfully, the day came for Retin A and it helped so much. Unfurtunately, it was too late for my poor face and I have a lot of scarring. I am so thankful for young people today who have access to better products and information. Thank you Dr. Dray.
You can get a form of RX Retin A ( Tretinoin) from websites. They even can give the RX for it. Back in the day I was on it. My Derm always used it on her face (1970’s). It really works!!
I thought I was the only person who damaged their skin due to over exfoliating with the Buf Puf in the 80’s!! 😱. UA-cam didn’t exist back then; beauty magazines served that purpose for me! 🤦🏽♀️🙄
My dermatologist gave me my first buff puff. I found the gentle puff at Walmart. At 28 I went to cosmetology school. Thankfully I met an esthetician who told me the puff was a no no. The original actually contained fiberglass!

Thank you Dr Dray I have been following you for two years and I have nothing but the highest respect for you, not only are you fun but in these difficult times money is very tight here in Oz with inflation so thanks again for all your hard work I can afford a few good cheap skincare products ❤❤❤
I love these drugstore videos!!!! Thank you you for giving us the down-low on skincare science, separating facts from bogus marketing, and for talking about market trends. My routine is set but I'll always watch your drugstore shopping videos. 🥰
Thanks for highlighting some of the more budget-friendly skin care products today. Your take on the Gold Bond line, for instance, was really interesting to me.
I love Aveeno products. I love their skin relief moisturizer and wish I could use it on my face. Thanks Dr Dray for another great video. We love watching you and always a thumbs up.
With drug store prices constantly increasing, I'm finding myself buying more K-BEAUTY. I may have to wait a little bit for shipping, but you can't beat the value and quality for the price.
I don't know what this video is about but I started using cerave skin renewing retinol cream, the eye cream, the am, pm moisturizers and the face cleanser and I have gotten so many compliments on my looks lately. I think my skin looks so hydrated and fresh. Thanks for the tips.
I bought the Gold Bond face and body cream last week. So far, I'm loving it. I have dry aging skin and live in the AZ desert. The Gold Bond is keeping my skin soft and hydrated.
If it's ever not intensely hydrating enough, the age renew overnight retinol is my new holy grail. When it's extremely cold or windy, it delivers aquaphor level occlusion. I am guessing the temp & wind do the same to your skin as we experience up here. If you get chapped cheeks, def try the overnight retinol cream during day (plus SPF and maybe another SPF lol)
The L'Oreal Age Perfect Foaming Cream cleanser is a superior product that I have been using for years and works great for me. It's also very concentrated which makes one tube last a while and I love that. I wish, however, that they would make a fragrance-free version. Another great video, Dr. D! ❤
I am definitely team "regular moisturizer around your eyes"! Eye cream is a total marketing ploy. Plus i'm just too lazy to add yet another product to my regimen
The olay (or generic store brands if you can find them) water activated cleansing wipes are wonderful for travel! You don't have to include them with your liquids and they lay flat-can remove from the box and stash them easily in your suitcase (either in a ziplock bag or just by themselves because they are dry..
The Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion is fantastic. I am so glad I listened to you and got this. I have been using it on hands, arms, legs, neck and decolletage. In a week I saw marked improvement. If you are buying a "crepe cream" from an actress, save a lot of money and give this a try. This one is a real winner!
Right? I feel like a religious zealot, I can't stop telling people. Are you using the age renew overnight retinol face & body or the specialty face one?
I think the L’Oreal rosy tone products have pigments to visibly brighten the skin. They’re meant for older women who have sallow skin and dark circles.
I really appreciate you doing all of these videos. I learn so much about skin care. Since I have a budget on my skin care, your advice and opinions really help. I have purchased the gold bond retinol face and body moisturizer. This will be a game changer if it helps my dry skin, face and body. Thanks again and wish me luck 🍀
Petrolatum and jojoba oil are pore clogging, even though companies say they don't. Petrolatum is literally crude oil, they make gasoline by refining Petrolatum
I went today and bought the Kroger shimmer sunscreen (supergoop glow screen dupe) you recommended in your last video. I’m so excited to try it out! Now I must try out the Gold Bond Pure Moisture for face and body as well 😊 All of my staple skin care favorites have come from your recommendations and I appreciate you so much! Thank you!! 💕 Happy Saturday Dr. Dray and lovely followers 🌷
Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘🍀☘🍀🌈 If I remember correctly, yes the fragrance in Nadinola cream is as strong as the Ambi cream. Like headache inducing. 😖 As for CVS, I rarely if ever shop there for skin care or makeup as their prices are ridiculously high. I am "Team moisturizer" for around my eyes. 👁
Love these videos Dr. Dray. I wanted to request an updated bug bites video including chiggers. I recently got a lot of chigger bites all over my body after laying in some grass mostly naked. I grew up with them, but I’ve never gotten this many, and I had an allergic reaction nearly two weeks after getting the bites. My skin was covered in hives and was so itchy :/ more than anything it’s made me feel so self conscious showing skin because the hives have left some hyperpigmentation. Any tips on how to recover from something like this would be great :)
It’s funny you should bring it up because actually, Glossier just started becoming available for purchase now at Sephora!! So I’ve seen some videos about it because it’s now sold at Sephora. I love Glossier’s “You” perfume, boy brow, stretch concealer, & cloud paints 🎨🖌️😊❤
The only reason I will use eye cream is if it contains caffeine....even then it's Cerave skin renewing eye cream which isn't expensive. I use it when I haven't gotten much sleep since the caffeine really reduces the darkness under my eyes...more than just the moisturizer does.
@maureen green: hope you see this, clicked on your profile because you have lovely skin lol, was wondering if you were a beauty tuber. But, seeing what you do- can you tell me your strategy for makeup when you film outside? I run a small nonprofit that supports a local national monument and I need a strategy for looking polished & energetic when on camera in the great outdoors. Don't want to look overdone or tacky, but also don't want to look like the crypt keeper or have completely undefined features.
Very interesting video, I don't look at the less well known brands. I have thought that they are just "cheap" copies! I shall now look at the ingredients. Perhaps a video on what the main ingredients to look for would be helpful. Keep up the great informative work. Much appreciated over here in the UK!😊
I think when the French drugmaker Sanofi bought out Chattem (Gold Bond) to give them access to over the counter access in the USA drug stores, their Gold Bold quality and depth took turn for the better. I'm using the overnight Face and Body moisturizer you recommended. I wish it came in a tub, not the tube, for efficient access.
There seem to be sweeping categories of product here that I find impossible to track down. Hand creams with SPF - there seem to be option in USA but here I've never seen one, I just use a regular body SPF. Body creams with retinol - I've only gotten them via ordering in from USA. Tinted lip products with SPF - Kiehl's used to have one but it got discontinued, otherwise I've never found one here.
Dr. Dray - you should seriously consider having a meetup in Houston for all of us to get together! I think many would fly from far and wide to go shopping with you! :) Love your videos - hope you have a good weekend!
Dr. Dray, I really need your advice. My dermatologist wasn't very helpful when I asked this question unless I paid $50 for a cosmetic consult. My question is so simple. What would you recommend for treatment of red capillaries/broken blood vessels of the face? Are they the same as spider veins, as far as treatment goes?
Hope she answers. I had this many years ago and it eventually went away with time, but I'm afraid i will develop again with age. I think protection from the sun (spf or hats,etc) helps
Here is my personal experience, just so you have an idea🤗 Anyways, my advice will be always be, needless to say, get an appointment with a pro derm. My skin is a bad combination: extra thin and prone to broken capillaries in spite of no smoking, no drinking, etc... "The main one" appears in a photo where I was 4 yo.😅 My derm tried with oral tranexamic acid to prevent new ones to break (not to soften the already existant ones) but we didn' t notice any difference. It was the perfect moment for laser. The specialist pointed EXACTLY wich ones would disappear forever and wich ones would re-appear in about 2 years😳🔮 It was quick, safe😎, painless and everything happened like I was told. It feels like one shoot with flash📸-rubber band slaping your face, just a BOOOHHH! The blood that the exploded vessel contained becomes a totally normal hematoma that doesn' t hurt. Arnica cream as much as needed and 8-10 days after, it' s gone. One 15 mins session each 2-3 years wich costs 200€ (Barcelona, Spain, the reputated Teknon clinic). Personally, it' s beyond worth it. Hope it helped🧛🏻♀️🖤
Good day Dr Dray! I use Rainbow Beauty. I absolutely love it. Very moisturizing and smells so good. It would be great for the shins, calves, and feet if you didn't want to use it on your whole body.
You never (yet) addressed Nivea's range. If you are willing to, I can give you a hint on their body lotions. The white bottle is *very* watery and thin. The light blue bottle is slightly less watery. But the dark blue bottle (not unlike their blue tin) is the *most* moisturizing and is absolutely *not watery* in the slightest. It is a very nice moisturizer.
Dr Dray if you could make a video of drug store or even cosmetic store shampoos especially for thin old hair I’d appreciate it and hopefully others I’ve watched your video on custom made shampoo but I don’t want to do that. I’ve been binge watching since I found your channel and it is so informative and practical
Used BufPuf in the 1980s but when it wasn’t as helpful for acne as I had hoped, I went to an excellent dermatologist who prescribed Accutane. Less than a week later I realized the yellow eyes and other symptoms had to be from that medication. Seem told me to discontinue immediately and got me into his office in a day or so. Liver tests the same day were bad. I had to test every week or so, then at progressively longer intervals until they normalized. Then every six months for years. It definitely was the Accutane! Thank goodness there are more options today.
I used to use Glossier blushes and the niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serums, but they keep upping the price for the serums and you can get the same stuff or better for less in Korean brands. The blushes are still good, but there's way too much in the tube, even tho the tube's tiny, that you can never use even half before it's past the expiry date. So I use a different blush now. Wouldn't touch any of their other skin care with a 10-foot pole, because they've scented it all with rose and I can't take fragrance in products, and I hate that powdery grandmother rose smell. I really don't know what they're thinking putting rose scent in everything.
Dr Dray, can you see if anyone has ever noted a connection between tretinoin and worsening glaucoma. I have been under the care of an eye specialist for about 7 years, using drops, with well controlled pressures. At my last appointment he reported a serious jump in eye pressure and a big change in my vision. (Scary) The only major change I can think of, in terms of medication, is my addition of daily tretinoin. I do try to be careful with it (avoiding eyes) but I wonder - have you heard of any deleterious connection between the two? Thank YOU!
People still care about Glossier - in fact, I feel like it's more popular now than it has been in recent years where they took a small dive. But they just launched at Sephora which is a HUGE DEAL since they've never been available in retail spaces before other than their own storefronts (of which there were only a few in NYC I think). So that's pretty major and allowing so many more people to easily access the products. They still make the milk jelly cleanser which I also love so much.
I was in Sephora with my daughter yesterday and they had Glossier. She was so excited because she had never seen it in a retail store before. I didn't know Cake had skincare, I have used their hair products and like them a lot. You never know what you'll find at CVS, that's what I like about it. Thanks so much for these videos, they have definitely helped me navigate the fray of the skincare world. Happy St Patrick's Day 🍀🤗
If the Gold Bond daily isn't quite moisturizing enough, I cannot stop recommending the Overnight line that is Face & Body. So effective & if you put it in an old fancy cream jar, you will think it is a luxe product - the overnight formula is so elegant - silky, thick, dense, but airy...honestly it's practically cheesecake texture lol. No scent ofc but a sensory delight. The big bottle is about $1.15/oz 😂 vs banila dear hydration $20/oz. It even beats boxycharm drop sale prices. Kinda glad the brand is associated with Shaq's jock itch, should keep the price down longer.
Thank you for this recommendation. I’m using the Gold Bond Pure Moisture that Dr Dray recommended and I like it but my feet and elbows need something thicker, think I’ll look for a small tube of the Overnight and give it try.
Overnight face and body… I haven’t seen this! Not the retinol one and not the melatonin one? I love the feel of the melatonin one but it has lavender and I’m allergic.
@@Hemmyii sorry, it is the retinol one. I haven't tried the vit C one. Dr dray says it should be legit retinol but it is very very mild, I have not experienced any issues, and I spf a lot lol, so I use it like any other deep moisture cream. Hoping that is a good choice on my part lol.
@@Hemmyii oh and the melatonin/lavender just isn't formulated as nicely, it's a great lotion, but I prefer the texture & touchfeel of the daily and the overnight so much more. Both of those easily pass for luxe creams, but the melatonin one is def formulated as a body lotion.
I like Nivea products but I tried their Essentially Enriched Almond oil lotion, and the fragrance is OVERWHELMING. Like cheap perfume. Couldn't find fragrance free.
Your comment about the vitamin E oil capsules made me laugh out loud! I am 7 months pregnant and have recently gone from having a lot of stretch marks to having raised, puffy mega stretch marks that hurt and itch. My OB recommended breaking open those capsules and let me tell you it was IMMEDIATELY tingly and uncomfortable. 😂 Tried it for the first and last time last night.
The Cosmedica claims to have a whopping 2.5% retinol, which is why I wanted to try it. I'm using it now, it's pleasant enough, but my skin is not reacting at all to having 2.5% retinol on it, which makes me question its potency.
1% is the max allowable amount of retinol, I think. they could be referring to 2.5% of a "retinol complex" which itself will have a smaller quantity of pure retinol.
@@simonsaysism There’s nothing on the box, on the bottle label nor on the ingredients list to indicate a complex or any of the derivatives. I don’t think there is any regulation to limit the amount of retinol since it is considered a cosmetic not a drug.
CVS is so overpriced. I refuse to buy anything there unless it’s on a super sale or I have extracare bucks. But that usually just makes the price closer to target/Walmart.
I have the gold bond colloidal oatmeal eczema relief. It's OK. But avoiding contact dermatitis triggers is more important than only moisturizing for me.
Love love love the sound quality! Dont know if you're speaking close into the microphone cos the audio sounds very up close and I can hear you clearly! It kind of drowns out the noise of the surrounds so we only hear you! Amazing thanks for the informative video as usual
Dr. Dray - do you think the Lyma Laser is worth it? It’s so expensive but the before and afters are really impressive. I’d love to know your thoughts and impressions of the device ❤
Dr Dray, can you do assessment/review on Sebamed products like face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen? Their prices are comparatively lower compared to other brands.
Dr Dray-I was interested to hear about how body lotion can be used as facial moisturizer as I’ve always liked the aveno body lotions more than the face lotions. I’m going to try it and if so it will be a money saver!
I do this now with Gold Bond pure all over my face and have never done it before in my life until Dr.Dray. I was very skeptical when she first recommended it but now I'm a total convert! I slather it on my face every single night and I feel great about it because it's less than a dollar an ounce!
Before and after pics have always been iffy. I've seen so many where you can tell that the camera angle is just different (the better result is further away), not always but I've rarely seen one that made me go wow, that product really works. As for Glossier, didn't people used to make the crack that Glossier was for people who didn't actually have skin care concerns?
Hi Dr Dray, I enjoy watching your videos, they are very educational and informative. Can you please do a review on primrose oil, and is it good for skin, stress and does it lower blood pressure. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work. You do make a huge difference. Have a SUPER day.

They're between $2-4 more expensive than say Walmart...

I keep going back to a big tub of CeraVe for my 70 year old skin. It's pretty much all you need for everywhere.
And there is zero reason to do so. I hate healthcare money grabs. Seems to be really against a caretaking philosophy.
because selling skincare to patients can also be a money maker. its not bad. its just convenient and you will probably pay up.
Cheers and greetings to Miss Barb. My mom is 82 and she stands by her Clinique DDML :D (waving hello)

I am guessing the temp & wind do the same to your skin as we experience up here. If you get chapped cheeks, def try the overnight retinol cream during day (plus SPF and maybe another SPF lol)
Thank you for always pointing out all the trickery as well!
I love the wealth of information in this video. But what we really need to know is: What mascara are you using? Your lashes look beautiful
11:30 yeah!! You’re right about tricky “before and after” photos. Pegged it!
The L'Oreal Age Perfect Foaming Cream cleanser is a superior product that I have been using for years and works great for me. It's also very concentrated which makes one tube last a while and I love that. I wish, however, that they would make a fragrance-free version. Another great video, Dr. D! ❤
I love your trips to the drugstore ! Keep them coming !
"This is not to be slept on. Well, technically it is because you use it overnight." 😂
I am definitely team "regular moisturizer around your eyes"! Eye cream is a total marketing ploy. Plus i'm just too lazy to add yet another product to my regimen
Which one she said was good for the eye?
Love your cost saving info!! It is EXTREMELY Helpful!! Your expressions & sideline notes CRACK ME UP!! 🤣
The olay (or generic store brands if you can find them) water activated cleansing wipes are wonderful for travel! You don't have to include them with your liquids and they lay flat-can remove from the box and stash them easily in your suitcase (either in a ziplock bag or just by themselves because they are dry..
So obsessed with the Gold Bond Pure Moisture! Holy grail for this dry/normal sensitive, rosacea-prone gal.
The Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion is fantastic. I am so glad I listened to you and got this. I have been using it on hands, arms, legs, neck and decolletage. In a week I saw marked improvement. If you are buying a "crepe cream" from an actress, save a lot of money and give this a try. This one is a real winner!
I’m a low key skincare snob and I love the Gold Bond Retinol cream. It is wonderful.
Right? I feel like a religious zealot, I can't stop telling people. Are you using the age renew overnight retinol face & body or the specialty face one?
Me too, just bought the bigger pump bottle today😊
I love it! I’m not getting breakouts either! Great product
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory Overnight Body & Face is the one I have been using.
I think the L’Oreal rosy tone products have pigments to visibly brighten the skin. They’re meant for older women who have sallow skin and dark circles.
Goodmorning Dr. Dray 🌷and to everyone watching, have a happy friday!😊
I really appreciate you doing all of these videos. I learn so much about skin care. Since I have a budget on my skin care, your advice and opinions really help. I have purchased the gold bond retinol face and body moisturizer. This will be a game changer if it helps my dry skin, face and body. Thanks again and wish me luck 🍀
Petrolatum and jojoba oil are pore clogging, even though companies say they don't. Petrolatum is literally crude oil, they make gasoline by refining Petrolatum
Right. I don't know how people slug. I could never
@@conspicuous1010 exactly!
Thank you Dr. Dray!! Yes you changed my way of thinking of skincare products.
I love your skincare videos! They are so helpful not just with my skin but with my $$ too.
I went today and bought the Kroger shimmer sunscreen (supergoop glow screen dupe) you recommended in your last video. I’m so excited to try it out! Now I must try out the Gold Bond Pure Moisture for face and body as well 😊 All of my staple skin care favorites have come from your recommendations and I appreciate you so much! Thank you!! 💕 Happy Saturday Dr. Dray and lovely followers 🌷
Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘🍀☘🍀🌈 If I remember correctly, yes the fragrance in Nadinola cream is as strong as the Ambi cream. Like headache inducing. 😖 As for CVS, I rarely if ever shop there for skin care or makeup as their prices are ridiculously high. I am "Team moisturizer" for around my eyes. 👁
LOL no snacking on your face cream, ladies and gents. Dr. Dray cracks me up. I feel so much smarter when I look at skin care products thanks to her!
Love these videos Dr. Dray. I wanted to request an updated bug bites video including chiggers. I recently got a lot of chigger bites all over my body after laying in some grass mostly naked. I grew up with them, but I’ve never gotten this many, and I had an allergic reaction nearly two weeks after getting the bites. My skin was covered in hives and was so itchy :/ more than anything it’s made me feel so self conscious showing skin because the hives have left some hyperpigmentation. Any tips on how to recover from something like this would be great :)
It’s funny you should bring it up because actually, Glossier just started becoming available for purchase now at Sephora!! So I’ve seen some videos about it because it’s now sold at Sephora. I love Glossier’s “You” perfume, boy brow, stretch concealer, & cloud paints 🎨🖌️😊❤
Dove is acting like Olay now. They crapped out another “new” body wash for $2 more than the previous “new” one 🙄🙄
Greetings Kathy Houston hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💜….
:D my family and I love dove bars. they're so creamy
Because new does not necessarily mean improved
Olay over dove anyday.
The GoldBond retinol body lotion is amazing!! I bought after the video you made on it. 😊
Thanks for the education, always enjoy learning about products! Have a great weekend! 🥰
With the rise of social media , people think they need a 75,000 step skincare routine for “self care “ . It’s all marketing
The loreal eyecream is a Really good one! Out of many I have used- this one works best. 😊
I'm team "moisturizer all over my face" rather than a separate eye cream which is always more expensive per ounce.
I just got a Murad eye cream in a subscription box...immediately it became a retinol face serum lol, not wasting that on my eye bags only haha
The only reason I will use eye cream is if it contains caffeine....even then it's Cerave skin renewing eye cream which isn't expensive. I use it when I haven't gotten much sleep since the caffeine really reduces the darkness under my eyes...more than just the moisturizer does.
@maureen green: hope you see this, clicked on your profile because you have lovely skin lol, was wondering if you were a beauty tuber. But, seeing what you do- can you tell me your strategy for makeup when you film outside? I run a small nonprofit that supports a local national monument and I need a strategy for looking polished & energetic when on camera in the great outdoors. Don't want to look overdone or tacky, but also don't want to look like the crypt keeper or have completely undefined features.
Very interesting video, I don't look at the less well known brands. I have thought that they are just "cheap" copies! I shall now look at the ingredients. Perhaps a video on what the main ingredients to look for would be helpful. Keep up the great informative work. Much appreciated over here in the UK!😊
The before and after 😂 yup looks exactly alike!damn those drugstore prices are going up sky high real quick! NO BUENO
I think when the French drugmaker Sanofi bought out Chattem (Gold Bond) to give them access to over the counter access in the USA drug stores, their Gold Bold quality and depth took turn for the better. I'm using the overnight Face and Body moisturizer you recommended. I wish it came in a tub, not the tube, for efficient access.
Sanofi to me was always very trustworthy (I had medications from them in the past).
Great information Dr.Dray. We don’t carry the Gold Bond Retinol Overnight Face and Body here in Canada. So sad. The states carry more than we do.
There seem to be sweeping categories of product here that I find impossible to track down. Hand creams with SPF - there seem to be option in USA but here I've never seen one, I just use a regular body SPF. Body creams with retinol - I've only gotten them via ordering in from USA. Tinted lip products with SPF - Kiehl's used to have one but it got discontinued, otherwise I've never found one here.
Love gold bond! Just learned it is cruelty free which is incredible and hard to find in the drugstore.
Dr. Dray - you should seriously consider having a meetup in Houston for all of us to get together! I think many would fly from far and wide to go shopping with you! :) Love your videos - hope you have a good weekend!
I’m in Dallas, and I’m in!!!!
@@Jacquelinesusanschmi I'm from Philadelphia and I'm in!
Thanks to you, I started using The Gold Bond Face/Body lotion. My body is becoming more smooth. I am waiting to see results on sun/dark spots. 😊
i love the glossier wowder and their concealer. the balms are alright (old formula), i reach for aquaphor more often
Dr. Dray, I really need your advice. My dermatologist wasn't very helpful when I asked this question unless I paid $50 for a cosmetic consult. My question is so simple. What would you recommend for treatment of red capillaries/broken blood vessels of the face? Are they the same as spider veins, as far as treatment goes?
Hope she answers. I had this many years ago and it eventually went away with time, but I'm afraid i will develop again with age. I think protection from the sun (spf or hats,etc) helps
Did you do a search to see if Dr. Dray already has a video on this?
Here is my personal experience, just so you have an idea🤗 Anyways, my advice will be always be, needless to say, get an appointment with a pro derm. My skin is a bad combination: extra thin and prone to broken capillaries in spite of no smoking, no drinking, etc... "The main one" appears in a photo where I was 4 yo.😅 My derm tried with oral tranexamic acid to prevent new ones to break (not to soften the already existant ones) but we didn' t notice any difference. It was the perfect moment for laser. The specialist pointed EXACTLY wich ones would disappear forever and wich ones would re-appear in about 2 years😳🔮 It was quick, safe😎, painless and everything happened like I was told. It feels like one shoot with flash📸-rubber band slaping your face, just a BOOOHHH! The blood that the exploded vessel contained becomes a totally normal hematoma that doesn' t hurt. Arnica cream as much as needed and 8-10 days after, it' s gone. One 15 mins session each 2-3 years wich costs 200€ (Barcelona, Spain, the reputated Teknon clinic). Personally, it' s beyond worth it. Hope it helped🧛🏻♀️🖤
She has two videos bout them, you can check them out:
- Facial Broken Capillaries
- Varicose Veins
@@verde_ms thanks!
Good day Dr Dray! I use Rainbow Beauty. I absolutely love it. Very moisturizing and smells so good. It would be great for the shins, calves, and feet if you didn't want to use it on your whole body.
You never (yet) addressed Nivea's range. If you are willing to, I can give you a hint on their body lotions. The white bottle is *very* watery and thin. The light blue bottle is slightly less watery. But the dark blue bottle (not unlike their blue tin) is the *most* moisturizing and is absolutely *not watery* in the slightest. It is a very nice moisturizer.
Dr Dray if you could make a video of drug store or even cosmetic store shampoos especially for thin old hair I’d appreciate it and hopefully others I’ve watched your video on custom made shampoo but I don’t want to do that. I’ve been binge watching since I found your channel and it is so informative and practical
CVS is ridiculously overpriced, I only shop there now whenever I get the 40% off coupon and rewards bucks!
Me too
How do you get 40% coupons? I only get 32% coupons.
@@debbiemcdonald394 I also get 30%, been getting more of those lately. They show up in my mail and I don't question it 😂
@Debbie McDonald I signed up for the rewards program and they email them to me
I love Glossier! I never tried their skin care but I really like their mascara, their boy brow, and the cloud paint.
Wow if people are serious about skincare they need this channel!!!
Used BufPuf in the 1980s but when it wasn’t as helpful for acne as I had hoped, I went to an excellent dermatologist who prescribed Accutane. Less than a week later I realized the yellow eyes and other symptoms had to be from that medication. Seem told me to discontinue immediately and got me into his office in a day or so. Liver tests the same day were bad. I had to test every week or so, then at progressively longer intervals until they normalized. Then every six months for years. It definitely was the Accutane! Thank goodness there are more options today.
I used to use Glossier blushes and the niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serums, but they keep upping the price for the serums and you can get the same stuff or better for less in Korean brands. The blushes are still good, but there's way too much in the tube, even tho the tube's tiny, that you can never use even half before it's past the expiry date. So I use a different blush now. Wouldn't touch any of their other skin care with a 10-foot pole, because they've scented it all with rose and I can't take fragrance in products, and I hate that powdery grandmother rose smell. I really don't know what they're thinking putting rose scent in everything.
Glossier is now at Sephora. Maybe it will become more popular again? I’ve never used it. Thank you for all the skin care advice!
I’m used to looove glossier but they’ve changed their formulations and for the worse. It’s sad to see them fall but they did it to themselves.
I am surprised with all the prices, its double what we pay in the UK for same products
I was waiting to see what you had to say about Weleda's Skin Food.
Dr Dray, can you see if anyone has ever noted a connection between tretinoin and worsening glaucoma. I have been under the care of an eye specialist for about 7 years, using drops, with well controlled pressures. At my last appointment he reported a serious jump in eye pressure and a big change in my vision. (Scary) The only major change I can think of, in terms of medication, is my addition of daily tretinoin. I do try to be careful with it (avoiding eyes) but I wonder - have you heard of any deleterious connection between the two? Thank YOU!
People still care about Glossier - in fact, I feel like it's more popular now than it has been in recent years where they took a small dive. But they just launched at Sephora which is a HUGE DEAL since they've never been available in retail spaces before other than their own storefronts (of which there were only a few in NYC I think). So that's pretty major and allowing so many more people to easily access the products. They still make the milk jelly cleanser which I also love so much.
Happy Friday and ☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day , Dr. Dray ❤🌼
Happy Friday my friend ! xoxo
Doctor Quote of the Day: "No snacking on your face creams, ladies and gents!"
Lol😂😂
I was in Sephora with my daughter yesterday and they had Glossier. She was so excited because she had never seen it in a retail store before. I didn't know Cake had skincare, I have used their hair products and like them a lot. You never know what you'll find at CVS, that's what I like about it. Thanks so much for these videos, they have definitely helped me navigate the fray of the skincare world. Happy St Patrick's Day 🍀🤗
Yeah...i am wanting to wash my face with the Cake melting butter
@@ivania321 Sounds so yummy 😋 I'm sure my crusty old skin would love it, lol ☺️
If the Gold Bond daily isn't quite moisturizing enough, I cannot stop recommending the Overnight line that is Face & Body. So effective & if you put it in an old fancy cream jar, you will think it is a luxe product - the overnight formula is so elegant - silky, thick, dense, but airy...honestly it's practically cheesecake texture lol. No scent ofc but a sensory delight. The big bottle is about $1.15/oz 😂 vs banila dear hydration $20/oz. It even beats boxycharm drop sale prices. Kinda glad the brand is associated with Shaq's jock itch, should keep the price down longer.
Thank you for this recommendation. I’m using the Gold Bond Pure Moisture that Dr Dray recommended and I like it but my feet and elbows need something thicker, think I’ll look for a small tube of the Overnight and give it try.
Overnight face and body… I haven’t seen this! Not the retinol one and not the melatonin one? I love the feel of the melatonin one but it has lavender and I’m allergic.
@@Hemmyii sorry, it is the retinol one. I haven't tried the vit C one. Dr dray says it should be legit retinol but it is very very mild, I have not experienced any issues, and I spf a lot lol, so I use it like any other deep moisture cream. Hoping that is a good choice on my part lol.
@@Hemmyii oh and the melatonin/lavender just isn't formulated as nicely, it's a great lotion, but I prefer the texture & touchfeel of the daily and the overnight so much more. Both of those easily pass for luxe creams, but the melatonin one is def formulated as a body lotion.
I like Nivea products but I tried their Essentially Enriched Almond oil lotion, and the fragrance is OVERWHELMING. Like cheap perfume. Couldn't find fragrance free.
Your comment about the vitamin E oil capsules made me laugh out loud! I am 7 months pregnant and have recently gone from having a lot of stretch marks to having raised, puffy mega stretch marks that hurt and itch.
My OB recommended breaking open those capsules and let me tell you it was IMMEDIATELY tingly and uncomfortable. 😂 Tried it for the first and last time last night.
I used to break open the capsules and rub the vitamin E oil all over my face but it started making me break out in those really deep big pimples
Yikes! I paid less for Olay than the Beauty 360 versions! But that was a sale and based on quantity. Even still...youch!
Can you do a dedicated Gold Bond video?
The Cosmedica claims to have a whopping 2.5% retinol, which is why I wanted to try it. I'm using it now, it's pleasant enough, but my skin is not reacting at all to having 2.5% retinol on it, which makes me question its potency.
1% is the max allowable amount of retinol, I think. they could be referring to 2.5% of a "retinol complex" which itself will have a smaller quantity of pure retinol.
@@simonsaysism There’s nothing on the box, on the bottle label nor on the ingredients list to indicate a complex or any of the derivatives. I don’t think there is any regulation to limit the amount of retinol since it is considered a cosmetic not a drug.
Bought the gold bond retinol cream after your suggestion and I love it❤️. Wish it came in a larger size
Walmart has it in a bigger pump
CVS is so overpriced. I refuse to buy anything there unless it’s on a super sale or I have extracare bucks. But that usually just makes the price closer to target/Walmart.
Totally agree, I won't buy there unless it's a complete for emergency like I'm traveling without a car.
Same, it’s ridiculous there, 1.5x Target prices on nearly everything.
Video request, best moisturizers for feet.
hello dr.dray🙂 is it better to use adapalene and benzoyl peroxide at the same time or benzoyl in the morning and adapalene at night?
Adapalene and BP is also known as EpiDuo (prescription). She's got videos on using adapalene and BP together.
Watching your videos has been a game changer for me!
Happy Friday Dr. Dray. Could you please do a review on skinny fit collegen.
I have the gold bond colloidal oatmeal eczema relief. It's OK. But avoiding contact dermatitis triggers is more important than only moisturizing for me.
The greatest education! Thank you!
Love love love the sound quality! Dont know if you're speaking close into the microphone cos the audio sounds very up close and I can hear you clearly! It kind of drowns out the noise of the surrounds so we only hear you! Amazing thanks for the informative video as usual
Dr. Dray - do you think the Lyma Laser is worth it? It’s so expensive but the before and afters are really impressive. I’d love to know your thoughts and impressions of the device ❤
really happy to see you're reporting from cvs and not walgreens.
Dr Dray, can you do assessment/review on Sebamed products like face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen? Their prices are comparatively lower compared to other brands.
Dr Dray-I was interested to hear about how body lotion can be used as facial moisturizer as I’ve always liked the aveno body lotions more than the face lotions. I’m going to try it and if so it will be a money saver!
I do this now with Gold Bond pure all over my face and have never done it before in my life until Dr.Dray. I was very skeptical when she first recommended it but now I'm a total convert! I slather it on my face every single night and I feel great about it because it's less than a dollar an ounce!
yes the Aveeno in the tub is pretty much identical to the face ones but a fraction of the price
"What in the Buf-Puf circa '87 is this?!” 😂😂😂😂 I shudder to think of how many face layers I sanded off in the 80s with those things.
Me too! And I think I used it with St. Ives scrub! 😮. How ignorant we were without Dr. Drey and the internet! I believed all the advertising.
ikr I think we all got sucked into the hype back then - yikes
Right!?! 😅
Jill I still use buff gloves on my face twice a week.
I currently use the Glossier milk jelly cleanser and it's fantastic! But I agree that the hype has died down
I LOVE GOING TO CVS WITH YOU ❤
Before and after pics have always been iffy. I've seen so many where you can tell that the camera angle is just different (the better result is further away), not always but I've rarely seen one that made me go wow, that product really works. As for Glossier, didn't people used to make the crack that Glossier was for people who didn't actually have skin care concerns?
Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💚….
Glossier is for "natural" girls in their 20s LOL. Basically no aging or hyperpigmentation concerns!
Congratulations with your wedding!!
I don’t use Glossier skincare, but their You perfume is my all time favorite!
Hi Dr Dray, I enjoy watching your videos, they are very educational and informative. Can you please do a review on primrose oil, and is it good for skin, stress and does it lower blood pressure. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work. You do make a huge difference. Have a SUPER day.
