When I was in my 40's a good friend told me to always use a glycolic acid even if it was a cheap product. I have been doing this ever since and I'm 73 and my skin looks great!I thank her every day .
I have seen such amazing improvement with using a The Inkey list salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and twice weekly The Ordinary 10% lactic acid at night. A true budget routine that works!
@@TheBudgetDermatologist [ Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation. ] Honesty socially is more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. Material wealth, body size, facial features, or DOING will never create authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments socially the most. Aristocratic men are hypocritical, cowardly, and jealous. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. No one has control over ideas socially. Authoritarianism is a shallow head game: the refusal to share honesty (friendship) socially. Men with negative intentions will show complete bias against ideas supporting emotional freedom, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology ONLY (attraction), is promoted as “not important” by conformist men with abusive, fearful, and pragmatic personalities. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty, and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize the material or development in it and use both as reasons to criticize and remain unfriendly (dishonest). Dishonesty is the only way the idea of power may exist. When friendship is seen as more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When the material is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power. Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and promote emotional harmony. Men focusing on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) have more evolved minds compared to authoritarians consumed with leadership (power). In order to seek status, alphas intentionally remain closed-minded (materialistic), manipulative (controlling), and antagonistic (blame), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men. Men with mature minds are authentic with others, focus on humor, and shun the idea of emotional leverage. This makes them an unintentional threat socially to serious and conceited men with elitist personalities focused on dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focusing on telepathy are contradictory socially to alphas promoting leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development. All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong, and refusing to lie about awareness. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all of us know we are mentally connected. The idea of comparing human beings to unaware animals is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on shared lying socially about awareness in place of being honest (friendly). Character development is ignored with this psychology. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted and shared vibrationally and mentally. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce others socially, men must feign unawareness of a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately participated in and broadcast mentally promoting social dominance. The willful focus on a friendly collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals, and remain consumed with social inequality. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others. Alphas are mentally unstable, have manipulative personalities, and possess low feelings of self worth resulting from the intense focus on anger (authority), apathy (indifference), and advantages (dominance). Ideas rooted in mental dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship). Alphas are homophobic, and are especially critical of friendly men that are emotionally developed. Men with empathy have already worked through insecurities and judgments to focus on telepathy. Prideful men lying about insecurities within use blame and criticisms to seek control over feelings socially in order to project an image of being stronger. This creates artificial versions of emotional security and more value socially enforced with paranoia and anger. Resorting to vibrational attacks for the purpose of self promotion by reducing worth in others mentally leads to violence. Dominance over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Men with emotional IQ are authentic socially and care about calm feelings more. We are telepathic. There is no choice but to be level with others mentally, and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Evolved men refuse to criticize other people unprovoked or manipulate the truth. Alphas will always share critical thoughts about other people. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty socially more than alphas, creating non-violence. The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Thoughtful men focusing on telepathy, and away from conformity, are judged relentlessly for having elevated emotions by alphas refusing to evolve. Lessor minds intentionally share cruel beliefs together promoting the social exclusion of men with empathy socializing positive. These men are mental only in focus, never play head games, and are level in the mind with all. Alphas seek emotional support and validation from each other socially, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and physical aggression. Alphas judge honest (friendly) men the most, as they focus away from arrogance entirely, and expect friendship to be returned socially. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These criticisms always relate to social harmony and non-violence. Alphas rely on power of numbers to manipulate the truth and to keep primal ideas popular that are intentionally threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Authoritarians will always promote vibrational attacks against men that have already grown past them in thinking, resulting in petty head games socially. Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest is because they are aware telepathy is real. It looks stupid to lie about it. Alphas primarily focus on dominance in the mind and social image, and focus entirely away from telepathy within. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest (friendly) men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on criticisms, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality with a dumb vibe. Forceful thinking men will always share jealousy with men sharing respect with more emotional depth. Only men with emotional IQ can form real personas vibrationally that are not shallow. It is only when the inner mind matches the outer persona that a human being can be likable socially. Shallow men are associated with lying and are not respected when it comes to intelligence, creating situations where they are avoided socially. This angers the minds of men possessing a lower psychology, which often creates unprovoked violent reactions. When thinking is focused on honesty, feelings radiate soft. When thinking is focused on lying, feelings radiate threatening. Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outsmart less mature men with arrogance sharing no respect. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, calling it competitive. It’s time for human beings to let go of classism (psychic warfare) for good. It is jealousy. Secure men are level in the mind and easy to get along with. Alphas resort to conniving and childish head games. Men that focus non-violent and refuse to lie evolve. [ End drama. ] ua-cam.com/video/hHcIOwgOHqk/v-deo.html
I'm starting to figure out how to use all the information you provide without feeling confused or overwhelmed. Just bought all new products and am doing a morning and night routine using the best ingredients I can. Simply taking care of my skin properly took the dull saggy look away almost immediately 🤗
I have both the Versed products you mentioned. I’ve used the Instant resurfacing mask once. But now I will use it more. I have a lot of Versed products. And I like them and I’m incorporating them into my skin care routine. I use Retin A so I’m trying to be careful. I have very sensitive skin.
Hello Doc, I wanna thank you. My skin is so much better in just 10 days following skin care routine. My husband keeps on caressing my face- he said I’m glowing and radiant. Lol (I’m 51)
I have had such improvement in balancing my facial skin. I have less issues with acne and have softened my wrinkles using your suggested skin care routines. I'm wondering if you have any solutions for strawberry legs.
Can you do a video on how to integrate argireline solution into a routine when using vitamin c daily, tretnoin regularly at night only, niacinamide daily and glycolic acid cleanser in the am?
Hi 👋🏼 love watching your Videos. I have just started using the L’Oréal Glycolic Cleanser in my AM routine after watching this Video. My routine is CeraVe Cleanser & Lotion and Tretinoin .05% for nearly a year. All of a sudden breaking out! Do you think from the cleanser? Do I persevere? Or stop using it? Thanks Kathryn 😊
Have you tried Alpha skincare??? They have different concentrations of aha, body wash, cream , serums, body lotions, they been around for many years and have excellent reviews and i think is very affordable! I just got a few products from them
I use a Paula choice AHA 8% pricey but you need very little and it has lasted for years and has not gone bad. I find I stop using it if I know I will be outside a lot as even with sunscreen my skin will get too much sun.
Thank you so much for sharing of how to use Alpha Hydroxy products. I just ordered ALPHA SKIN CARE Serum (with 14% Glycolic AHA) and the same product, ENHANCED RENEWAL CREAM (with 12% Glycolic AHA) I ordered the two products before I saw your video. I wish I saw your video first! 🙁) Both items that I mentioned above said, daytime use. But didn't say only!) SO, CAN I USE THEM AT NIGHT too? CAN YOU PLEASE, RECOMMEND NIGHT CREAM FOR ME, THAT'S NOT GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER TWO? BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PRODUCTS AROUND AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I USE THE RIGHT ONE. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU SUGGESTIONS. Thank you so much! Love all your videos!👍👍❣❣💐
I live in Buffalo and LOVE Shoppers! The Niagara Falls one has better selection than Ft. Erie. I wish it were easier to go across the boarder. I miss Canada in general!
Which would theoretically produce “better” results (in general): a high percentage AHA peel (e.g. 25%) or a leave-on exfoliant with a lower AHA percentage (e.g. 10%), considering if both products had a similar free acid value, pH, used the same type of AHA, and had a similar overall formulation?
Hi as someone with really hyper sensitive, rosacea and eczema prone skin acids are a bit tricky. I use them once a week and use two different products. In the t zone I use the paula's choice 1% calm bha (30ml travel size has lasted more than six months used this way) and the by Wishtrend 5% mandelic acid toner around the remainder of the face. My skin tolerates mandelic acid far better than glycolic or lactic acid and 2% BHA is too much for my skin. I use it as part of my once weekly pamper session and follow with a super hydrating fragrance free sheet mask (the Benton centella goodbye redness or the dear, klairs soothing mask). Once the mask is removed I use my moisturiser as normal to seal in the hydration. In the Summer I sometimes increase to twice weekly and obviously during a rosacea flare stop all actives, so it is dependent on how my skin is doing. Best wishes.
I'm very mature and I use lactic acid with great results. The Ordinary (on line or at Ulta) has a 5% and a 10% serum so you can start low and go up. They are very affordable. And since it is a more gentle AHA, very easy to place in your skin routine.
@@ritafreeman6929 Thanks! I live in Canada and Ulta is not available here but I found it at Sephora. I'm going to start with the 5% and dilute it with the hyaluronic acid. I'm also going to grab some niacinamide. I think this doctor's platform may be geared to younger people.
@@Jean-bw7qn Yes Jean i agree with you 💯 %. Some of these products are too strong for mature skin and also as a person of color glycolic acid needs to be used with caution. I love 10% lactic acid i use it once ir 2x a week in my routine. I just recently got prescribed retin a, i also am going slow and low to avoid the usual side effects. So far its going well.
Thank you so much! Always love your content Dr. I am using Naturium Tranexamic Acid at night on my off nights from Tretinoin, Would I still apply Tranexamic Acid that night? AM I use Timeless Vitamin C, how would you recommend incorporating AHA, also would the Loreal be a good choice? Thank you 💜
I think I cannot use products with salicylic acid because I am allergic to aspirin. Would you be so kind as to mention which products are suitable for people like me whenever you share products in your videos? I didn’t even know that BHA is also salicylic acid so reading the ingredients list might not help me that much. I am finally about to seriously take care of my skin (46 dry skin with sun spots) and learning so much from you. Thank you.
Last year I discovered Ole Henriksen's Dewtopia 20% acid night treatment and instantly fell in love! I noticed immediate results after using it for the very first time. I also liked the product's consistency (gel-like) and its lovely lemon scent. The price point is a bit high ($55 for 1 ounce), so I probably won't purchase it again, but it was a worthwhile splurge at the time. I use it about once per week instead of my retinoid. I'll probably switch to the Versed mask in the future. I also have to say THANK YOU for the L'Oreal glycolic acid cleansing gel recommendation! I've started using it most mornings and it's great! A nice bonus is that it seems to be softening my hands as well. :)
I am reacting to lactic acid not to mention glycolic acid. I hear mandelic acid or PHA will be better for my sensitive skin. please do a video about mandelic acid and PHA and recommend inexpensive effective products too. thank you.
I tried the L'Oreal glycolic cleanser and it contains really strong menthol. I didn't notice it in the ingredients beforehand but as soon as I started putting it on my face it hit me. It smelled like I was rubbing Vick's on my face and my eyes begin to burn and water. Why couldn't they have left the menthol out? I really want to use an AHA cleanser to help shorten and simplify my routine, but I just can't handle that one.
Does anyone know if it's best to use a gentle cleanser or an exfoliating cleanser the next morning after the leave on AHA/BHA? Can't find answers online
i happened to see a year old video of yours with cerave renewing face SA cleanser. should it be used every day for clear complexion. I have ashy dermatitis and my dermatologist does not even answer my questions properly. he gave m 6% hydroquinone cream to use at night time. Can i use a SA cleanser or a gycolic acid cleanser for renewing my facial skin, or is AHAs of help in any way. Is it also ok to use a retinoid at night along with this. Any advise would be very helpful doc ! Thanks in advance !! i had lost hope but your videos give me that positive feeling !!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Is there a certain percentage of glycolic acid that stimulates collagen? Does it have to be a high percentage or can you get those benefits from regular use of a low percentage?
@@enuphsayd9746 thank you, I understand if she doesn't though since it's an older video. I'm going to try and bug some other derms on here and instagram, I'll let you know if I get an answer.
Would it be safe and effective to do my regular routine during the week (AM: gentle wash, vit C + other serum, moisturizer & sunscreen; PM: Cerave SA wash, moisturizer, retinol) then use the AHA toner, moisturizer and sunscreen on weekends - no sunscreen in PM OR just the AHA in the morning and just moisturizer in the evening?
Can these also be used on the chest and back? Benzoyl peroxide does not work well enough for my acne on those areas but I have not tried an AHA acne serum or cleanser.
Dear Dr. Locke, Thank you so much for your informative videos. I'm a physician but learned way too late about sun protection! Your videos are well thought out, researched and they get to the point. Two questions: there are vitamin C products (Neutrogena for one) that state in small print that sunscreens with titanium dioxide are contraindicated with their product. WHY is that and is there also a contraindication for zinc? I have trouble finding mineral sunscreens without titanium. Second: is the reason to not pair retinol products with acid or vitamin C due only to irritation or is there an inactivation of one of these treatments? Thank you so much for answering, i cannot find any answers in the literature i researched.
She has a video about this. I believe it's too harsh to use both but I could be wrong. Look for the video that has a checklist for day and nighttime routine. Using the glycolic acid wash before using vite c helps the c penetrate better
Can you use the toner or pads in the am with vitamin c serum? I’m using the Tula brand glycolic acid toner, good molecules aha bha or the Paula’s choice toner then a vitamin c (Maelove or timeless)serum with no issues or irritation. I’m wondering if that makes one of the 2 more ineffective.
@@doloresmedina7176 I know I watched it before I watched dr. drays. I was just thinking since dr. dray had such different opinions and recommendations if she had opinions about it
I have sensitive, textured skin that I know can look better with the right products. There is just so many options that I find skincare overwhelming. Is it better to see a dermatologist to set up a skincare routine or esthetician?
So confused, please explain the different acids. For example, I thought buy AHA for exfoliating but then Glycolic acid was mentioned for exfoliating, there are so many. Help!!! Thank you
Hi, I got the 10% and 15% to try them. started with the 10%. It doesn't get absorbed in the skin. It leaves layer, like dandruffs on the skin. perhaps, I am not using it right?
Maybe check her video, how to get glowing skin. Not all derms like physical exfoliants and tend to prefer chemical exfoliation. I do know at least one derm who doesn't mind the good molecules pineapple exfoliating powder which has fruit enzymes and a vit c derivative.
Yes I use together sometimes. I like the glycolic cleanser followed by Vit C serum. I dont usually layer an AHA toner/serum AND a Vit C serum. It's too much in my opinion.
Glycolic acid : 1. Start with a glycolic acid cleanser instead of a serum on your face- once a day. 2. If you prefer a serum - use a gentle/hydrating cleanser first- then apply glycolic acid serum on DRY SKIN (for less irritation) start low dose- only use 1-2x a week. 4. Apply moisturizer 5. Use only at night 6. Apply sunscreen in the morning
That turned me off it too but I just switched to using it as a body cleanser. I'll use it up that way but I won't repurchase. For my face, I switched to a toner which works better anyway.
She recommends different products for a variety of skin types, plus there are a range of prices. Second, the doctor organized her video into 5 parts. Each numbered section of her video discussed a different way to incorporate an AHA into your skincare routine. As well, many people have allergies to one or more ingredients in skincare. With several examples, each viewer of the doctor’s video should be able to find something that fits into her/his skincare routine. For example, some people find the menthol in the L’Oréal cleaners irritating. I’m one of them. I have sensitive skin. I’m also allergic to aloe and severely allergic to lanolin. One product that does work for me is the Versed brightener. I haven’t tried the mask, but now that the doctor mentioned the product, I will be trying it. I think a way to approach any video of recommendations is to think about your own routine-what works and what doesn’t work-and focus on one-or maybe two, at most-recommendations to try if you are looking to improve your skincare or reduce the cost of your routine.
When I was in my 40's a good friend told me to always use a glycolic acid even if it was a cheap product. I have been doing this ever since and I'm 73 and my skin looks great!I thank her every day .
I have seen such amazing improvement with using a The Inkey list salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and twice weekly The Ordinary 10% lactic acid at night. A true budget routine that works!

I have sensitive skin and it’s been fine for me. Not seen major changes in my dark spots which is why I bought it. Good thing it was cheap!
please do a video on LED light for skin
Should I use glycolic acid every morning? Or 2/3 times per week? I have sensitive skin
Love the video format 👌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Could I use the Cerve SA cleanser and then L’Oreal 10%glycolic serum?
Your videos are the best! Thank you! You have completely revolutionized my skincare routine!

Have you tried Alpha skincare??? They have different concentrations of aha, body wash, cream , serums, body lotions, they been around for many years and have excellent reviews and i think is very affordable! I just got a few products from them
I use a Paula choice AHA 8% pricey but you need very little and it has lasted for years and has not gone bad. I find I stop using it if I know I will be outside a lot as even with sunscreen my skin will get too much sun.
Thank you so much for sharing of how to use Alpha Hydroxy products. I just ordered ALPHA SKIN CARE Serum (with 14% Glycolic AHA) and the same product, ENHANCED RENEWAL CREAM (with 12% Glycolic AHA) I ordered the two products before I saw your video. I wish I saw your video first! 🙁) Both items that I mentioned above said, daytime use. But didn't say only!) SO, CAN I USE THEM AT NIGHT too? CAN YOU PLEASE, RECOMMEND NIGHT CREAM FOR ME, THAT'S NOT GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER TWO? BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PRODUCTS AROUND AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I USE THE RIGHT ONE. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU SUGGESTIONS. Thank you so much! Love all your videos!👍👍❣❣💐
I would love to see you do something on "phyto-retinols" I can't seem to find much info in comparison with a traditional retinol.
Good morning, Doctor! I love that Versed toner. I’ve been using it for awhile, now. In Canada 🇨🇦, it’s available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
I live in Buffalo and LOVE Shoppers! The Niagara Falls one has better selection than Ft. Erie. I wish it were easier to go across the boarder. I miss Canada in general!
Yes, I've been loving many Versed products lately. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Which would theoretically produce “better” results (in general): a high percentage AHA peel (e.g. 25%) or a leave-on exfoliant with a lower AHA percentage (e.g. 10%), considering if both products had a similar free acid value, pH, used the same type of AHA, and had a similar overall formulation?
I would love to have AHA pads option without alcohol denature and fragance. Thank you.
Hey derm, what's your thoghts on Platinum skin care peeling line?
Hello, can I use the versed toner in morning and then a vitamin c serum?
I'd love to have a video on The Ordinary 30% Aha mask please 😁
Is it safe to use URBAN SX CLEAR PADS in the morning, considering they have retinyl palmitate, even is I use sunscreen?
Can you use glycolic acid cleanser followed by tretinoin at night
I would love to know more about how to use the ordinary peel! i love your videos!! thank you for all the content :)

Thank you so much for this video. I never know how to put it all together! Thank you!!❤❤❤❤❤
Can you please talk about kp skin????
What about Alpha skin care products? I have used them for years and love them. The renewal serum is 14%.
haven't tried that one. Thanks for the recommendation
I actually use the 12% AHA body lotion all over, including on my face, and I love it!
Hi as someone with really hyper sensitive, rosacea and eczema prone skin acids are a bit tricky. I use them once a week and use two different products. In the t zone I use the paula's choice 1% calm bha (30ml travel size has lasted more than six months used this way) and the by Wishtrend 5% mandelic acid toner around the remainder of the face. My skin tolerates mandelic acid far better than glycolic or lactic acid and 2% BHA is too much for my skin. I use it as part of my once weekly pamper session and follow with a super hydrating fragrance free sheet mask (the Benton centella goodbye redness or the dear, klairs soothing mask). Once the mask is removed I use my moisturiser as normal to seal in the hydration. In the Summer I sometimes increase to twice weekly and obviously during a rosacea flare stop all actives, so it is dependent on how my skin is doing. Best wishes.

My mature skin does not tolerate glycolic acid. In your opinion, would lactic acid be a comparable option? I'm considering a 10% lactic acid serum.
I'm considering the same - even once a week, glycolic acid is too much 😞
I'm very mature and I use lactic acid with great results. The Ordinary (on line or at Ulta) has a 5% and a 10% serum so you can start low and go up. They are very affordable. And since it is a more gentle AHA, very easy to place in your skin routine.
@@ritafreeman6929 Thanks! I live in Canada and Ulta is not available here but I found it at Sephora. I'm going to start with the 5% and dilute it with the hyaluronic acid. I'm also going to grab some niacinamide. I think this doctor's platform may be geared to younger people.
@@Jean-bw7qn yes, I feel like most things are!
@@Jean-bw7qn
Yes Jean i agree with you 💯 %. Some of these products are too strong for mature skin and also as a person of color glycolic acid needs to be used with caution. I love 10% lactic acid i use it once ir 2x a week in my routine. I just recently got prescribed retin a, i also am going slow and low to avoid the usual side effects. So far its going well.
Thank you so much Doctor.Watching new videos always giving me lots of information to choose the products.🙏❤️💐
Doctor is it safe to use glycolic acid toner contrentration 10% fyi i have brown skin ???
can I use the versed toner before using my vitamin c? thank you 😊
She responded to this question below. She recommends a wash off glycolic acid, not a serum with vitamin c
Can you do a video about getting glass skin with budget friendly products you would recommend to get it?
Thank you so much! Always love your content Dr. I am using Naturium Tranexamic Acid at night on my off nights from Tretinoin, Would I still apply Tranexamic Acid that night? AM I use Timeless Vitamin C, how would you recommend incorporating AHA, also would the Loreal be a good choice? Thank you 💜
What are your thoughts about: REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic?
Watching your videos from Mexico🥰 can I use Vitamin C and glycolic acid serum at the same time?
I think I cannot use products with salicylic acid because I am allergic to aspirin.
Would you be so kind as to mention which products are suitable for people like me whenever you share products in your videos?
I didn’t even know that BHA is also salicylic acid so reading the ingredients list might not help me that much.
I am finally about to seriously take care of my skin (46 dry skin with sun spots) and learning so much from you.
Thank you.
Last year I discovered Ole Henriksen's Dewtopia 20% acid night treatment and instantly fell in love! I noticed immediate results after using it for the very first time. I also liked the product's consistency (gel-like) and its lovely lemon scent. The price point is a bit high ($55 for 1 ounce), so I probably won't purchase it again, but it was a worthwhile splurge at the time. I use it about once per week instead of my retinoid. I'll probably switch to the Versed mask in the future. I also have to say THANK YOU for the L'Oreal glycolic acid cleansing gel recommendation! I've started using it most mornings and it's great! A nice bonus is that it seems to be softening my hands as well. :)
Thanks for all the info. I will definitely try this.
Can I apply my vitamin C after theAHA serum you said after the AHA cleanser but you didn't say after the serum.
I am reacting to lactic acid not to mention glycolic acid. I hear mandelic acid or PHA will be better for my sensitive skin. please do a video about mandelic acid and PHA and recommend inexpensive effective products too. thank you.
what if slight irritation occurs with Loreal Pure Glycolic Cleanser? thanks
Excellent video
I tried the L'Oreal glycolic cleanser and it contains really strong menthol. I didn't notice it in the ingredients beforehand but as soon as I started putting it on my face it hit me. It smelled like I was rubbing Vick's on my face and my eyes begin to burn and water.
Why couldn't they have left the menthol out? I really want to use an AHA cleanser to help shorten and simplify my routine, but I just can't handle that one.
Does anyone know if it's best to use a gentle cleanser or an exfoliating cleanser the next morning after the leave on AHA/BHA? Can't find answers online
If I use a Glycolic Acid in the morning, how would I layer it with Vit C?
Can retinoid product be applied on face after washing face with Loral glycolic acid cleanser?
@@SueRosalie thanks dear
Which option is best for a 50 year old with melasma?
Did you see the Neutrogena exfoliant with AHA/BHA toner type serum?? Wonder what you think of it??
i happened to see a year old video of yours with cerave renewing face SA cleanser. should it be used every day for clear complexion. I have ashy dermatitis and my dermatologist does not even answer my questions properly. he gave m 6% hydroquinone cream to use at night time. Can i use a SA cleanser or a gycolic acid cleanser for renewing my facial skin, or is AHAs of help in any way.
Is it also ok to use a retinoid at night along with this. Any advise would be very helpful doc ! Thanks in advance !! i had lost hope but your videos give me that positive feeling !!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love your content so much!! Very grateful for you and your channel!! :-) Keep 'em coming, please!

Is there a certain percentage of glycolic acid that stimulates collagen? Does it have to be a high percentage or can you get those benefits from regular use of a low percentage?
I hope she or her camp answers. Good question.
@@enuphsayd9746 thank you, I understand if she doesn't though since it's an older video. I'm going to try and bug some other derms on here and instagram, I'll let you know if I get an answer.
@@adhhxgxhhg I would like that. Good luck 🤗
Hieee , I have undereye hollows naturally, apart from fillers can u suggest a cream or a treatment product that could help with it?
Would it be safe and effective to do my regular routine during the week (AM: gentle wash, vit C + other serum, moisturizer & sunscreen; PM: Cerave SA wash, moisturizer, retinol) then use the AHA toner, moisturizer and sunscreen on weekends - no sunscreen in PM OR just the AHA in the morning and just moisturizer in the evening?
How do you use both vitamin c and alpha hydroxy acids together in routine. Use together or one in morning and one at night?
I use an AHA serum in the morning but can i use vitamin c with an AHA in the morning?
Is there another option instead of Glytone ? I can not get it in my country,
Can these also be used on the chest and back? Benzoyl peroxide does not work well enough for my acne on those areas but I have not tried an AHA acne serum or cleanser.
Thank you !
Dear Dr. Locke, Thank you so much for your informative videos. I'm a physician but learned way too late about sun protection! Your videos are well thought out, researched and they get to the point. Two questions: there are vitamin C products (Neutrogena for one) that state in small print that sunscreens with titanium dioxide are contraindicated with their product. WHY is that and is there also a contraindication for zinc? I have trouble finding mineral sunscreens without titanium. Second: is the reason to not pair retinol products with acid or vitamin C due only to irritation or is there an inactivation of one of these treatments? Thank you so much for answering, i cannot find any answers in the literature i researched.
She has a video about this. I believe it's too harsh to use both but I could be wrong. Look for the video that has a checklist for day and nighttime routine. Using the glycolic acid wash before using vite c helps the c penetrate better
Can you tell me, do I use the glycolic peel pads before applying vitamin c?
👆👆Congratulations you're among the lucky winners, 👆message right away I've got a gift for you 🎉🎁
Can you comment in your videos if your recommendations are pregnancy safe. Thanks
Yes! Also check out my pregnancy skincare routine video :)
Thanks 😊
Can you use the toner or pads in the am with vitamin c serum? I’m using the Tula brand glycolic acid toner, good molecules aha bha or the Paula’s choice toner then a vitamin c (Maelove or timeless)serum with no issues or irritation. I’m wondering if that makes one of the 2 more ineffective.
can you make a response video to dr. drays video about the research related to the studies linking hair loss to sunscreen?
She made one already. Dr. Locke's video came out first. Both videos were very informative.
@@doloresmedina7176 I know I watched it before I watched dr. drays. I was just thinking since dr. dray had such different opinions and recommendations if she had opinions about it
Hi doc! Is it true when you're acidic you cannot use acid on your skin?
I have sensitive, textured skin that I know can look better with the right products. There is just so many options that I find skincare overwhelming. Is it better to see a dermatologist to set up a skincare routine or esthetician?

Can any of these products be used on your neck?
So confused, please explain the different acids. For example, I thought buy AHA for exfoliating but then Glycolic acid was mentioned for exfoliating, there are so many. Help!!! Thank you
Hi, I got the 10% and 15% to try them. started with the 10%. It doesn't get absorbed in the skin. It leaves layer, like dandruffs on the skin. perhaps, I am not using it right?
What about brown skin ?
Is it good to use a face scrub? If so, which ones do you recommend?
Maybe check her video, how to get glowing skin. Not all derms like physical exfoliants and tend to prefer chemical exfoliation. I do know at least one derm who doesn't mind the good molecules pineapple exfoliating powder which has fruit enzymes and a vit c derivative.
I don't love scrubs but I'm sure some can tolerate and do fine with them.
I usually use vitamin c in the am. Can they be used together?
Some other derms have said that if you use a SA cleanser in the morning, it can help your LAA (vit c) serum to absorb better.
I had the same question.
Yes I use together sometimes. I like the glycolic cleanser followed by Vit C serum. I dont usually layer an AHA toner/serum AND a Vit C serum. It's too much in my opinion.
Glycolic acid :
1. Start with a glycolic acid cleanser instead of a serum on your face- once a day.
2. If you prefer a serum - use a gentle/hydrating cleanser first- then apply glycolic acid serum on DRY SKIN (for less irritation) start low dose- only use 1-2x a week.
4. Apply moisturizer
5. Use only at night
6. Apply sunscreen in the morning
How do you feel about Alpha Skin Care products?
So disappointed with the menthol in the loreal face wash so much so that I contacted loreal
That turned me off it too but I just switched to using it as a body cleanser. I'll use it up that way but I won't repurchase. For my face, I switched to a toner which works better anyway.
@@elisaastorino2881 yes that's how I'm using it too. My I know what toner are you using?
You recommend so many things that I give up listening to you.
She recommends different products for a variety of skin types, plus there are a range of prices.
Second, the doctor organized her video into 5 parts. Each numbered section of her video discussed a different way to incorporate an AHA into your skincare routine.
As well, many people have allergies to one or more ingredients in skincare. With several examples, each viewer of the doctor’s video should be able to find something that fits into her/his skincare routine.
For example, some people find the menthol in the L’Oréal cleaners irritating. I’m one of them. I have sensitive skin. I’m also allergic to aloe and severely allergic to lanolin. One product that does work for me is the Versed brightener. I haven’t tried the mask, but now that the doctor mentioned the product, I will be trying it.
I think a way to approach any video of recommendations is to think about your own routine-what works and what doesn’t work-and focus on one-or maybe two, at most-recommendations to try if you are looking to improve your skincare or reduce the cost of your routine.
