      The "miracle broth" is nothing but sea kelp, vitamins and minerals, citrus oil, eucalyptus, sunflower, wheat germ, and alfalfa, all of which are fermented together. At least one spa worker said you can just use nivea and add something like a glycolic toner instead of buying la mer.

    Holy cow, guys. Thank you SO MUCH for being the first UA-cam derms to not only recognize those of us with fragrance allergies, but also how fragrant ingredients like limonene, lemon peels, orange, lime, grapefruit, linalool, etc. also can be very sensitizing!
    At 20, I developed severe contact dermatitis with allergies to fragrance, citrus, peppermint, cinnamon, and lanolin, and BOY was it hard. So many derms forgot and would tell me to buy aquaphor products (often had lanolin in it that I was allergic to) so stopped trusting derms. I started researching myself and watching skincare experts online to study ingredients and build my own “safe” database because my own doctors weren’t helpful.
    Thank you for boosting my faith in derms again!

    Love that you are frank in your comments and recommendations and give reasoning. As a fellow doctor, I also love that you both refer to studies and actual data. Can your do a video on just face oils that you recommend and to avoid? Actual products…not individual oils. There are so many and it is hard to choose what is beneficial.
    Thanks!!!

    Extra virgin argan oil is my go-to. Amazon for 12 bucks and if you can get it in the pump and not the dropper it is easier to use. Soaks in almost immediately. I am 68 and my chest and neck have absolutely no wrinkles. I have been using argan oil for over 10 years. I read somewhere that they did a study and found that Nivea performed the same as LaMer. I love The Ordinary's products. My current fave serum is SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum. It is $295 but I have never had a product give results so quickly.
