I just started using a 0.2% Retinol and this video has perfect timing! I'll force all the info onto my boyfriend, because he keeps talking about cryptocurrencies and Retinoids are a much better topic.
It's so fascinating how quickly my outbreaks stopped and I got cured permanently from HSV 1&2. All thanks to @Draloha1 ua-cam.com/channels/_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww.html ♥️🧡💙
This is the best explanation of Retinoids I have ever come across. I used Paula’s Choice for years and eventually (after 10 years) decided it was not working anymore. Then a few years ago switched to Differin. Because of this talk I switched to Retinal and currently using Medik8 and Avene in two different strengths. What a difference in my 80 year old skin! It is never too late to improve. Thank you very much.
Would you consider doing a video about different acne scar treatments (Fraxel, microneedling, fibroblast, TCA CROSS, etc). What you suggest and what treatments you believe are ineffective. Thanks!
I had horrible acne and saw major improvement on my scars with 8 sessions of BBL light treatments. For textural issues that remained, I did 3 Pearl fractional laser treatments and my skin is 90% better.
Totally agree. I actually wish she would do a post on all office laser procedures and what they’re good for, when to get them, down time, etc. They all start to sound the same and do the same thing.
As a life long “skin nerd”, I have to say I absolutely love your no nonsense science based content! I have really enjoyed your videos and have learned a lot! Thank You!
I’m 36 almost 37 and I feel like I’m throwing everything but the kitchen sink at my skin to see if I can slow down the aging process. I use tret, vitamin c, glycolic acid (obviously not all together), I use microcurrent, I take collagen powder and take hyaluronic acid supplements.... and I avoid the sun like a vampire and religiously wear sunscreen. I’ll check back with you in 10 years and let you know 😂
@Sonia K May I suggest researching your particular collagen powder....as a Dr advised me to avoid them altogether (yes, I know it’s all the rage currently). He said majority have heavy metals known to damage our organs and some known, or probable to be carcinogenic. We all need to advocate for ourselves, becoming more mindful of every ingredient we ingest/inject/use topically etc. There’s so much misinformation out there.
@@aprilmay356 great point! I looked into a lot of research and settled on vegan collagen because A) Im plant based and don’t eat animal products and B) from the research I found they are less likely to have heavy metals or potential health risk associated with animal based collagens.
@@soniak2269 I too, am plant based. May I ask you what is your favorite vegan collagen? As they are fairly spendy, I would rather go into it with some good suggestions! Thanks!
I freaking love this woman and how real her videos are! This is a legit board certified doctor and takes the time to educate us and doesn’t keep her videos super edited (love the interruptions!) so you feel you are having a conversation with a friend in their room. Recently stopped breastfeeding after 2 years, so I haven’t been able to use a retinol for almost 3 years and I am READY to jump in!
I wanted to thank you so so much. My skin at 33 is better than 23 cause of you! Never have I ever been able to leave the house without makeup because of acne or redness and scaring but I’ve literally bought almost everything you have recommended and have been loving my skin !! My dream is to travel to NY and get my first ever Botox from you lol 😂
@@shereeneidriss omg my skin is pretty ok but my sisters have acne-prone skin and they've been suffering from it for a long time. We live in NYC so I'm planning for their first-ever dermatologist visit to be you! I hope to also meet you in person, you're so so so beautiful and inspiring.
I trust everything she says honestly and she’s one of the most people I trust their opinions and informations here, if not the most and only. She’s Amazing
I really enjoy the longer videos and the way you explain things makes it really easy to understand. Your charts on Instagram are also incredible and I see them reposted all the time! I would also love to see a video that compares lasers and chemical peels, I feel like that would be really interesting. Have an amazing dayy!!
@@shereeneidriss I think adapelene would have been a good one to mention. Avene Physiolift Night balm with adapalene is great. No sensitivity issues. Differin works, too.
honestly, starting retinoids with the granactive one in emulsion from The Ordinary was pretty tame and efficacious, but now I understand why it was actually a great choice for starting out. Bingeing on your videos is the best thing, especially when coupled with other creators to see how much diversity in opinion there is and some of the facts left out by others. Love everything you create
I didn't know how to tag two people in a comment, anyway. Sooo after the Ordinary one I got the one from The Inkey List. More powerful, but only because I didn't find the one from LÓreal she keeps mentioning. I also bought a tretinoin one, I don't know if it's region based (Europe), but it's called Mask Plus acne gel - it also has an antibiotic and glicolic acid, so it's a treatment really but you can buy it without prescription. So yeah, the last one works great, it's pretty powerful but if combined with a good moisturizer it's brilliant because the first few days my face was dryer than Sahara. I might revert back to the Inkey list one after the treatment, as it's milder and I think it would work great at maintaining the amazing results I just got from the tretinoin one. Hope this helps both of you.
Also, forgot to mention, I used the inkey list one while I was in vaycay before starting the treatment and the texture is awesome, doesn't really smell like anything (the tretinoin one smells very medical-ly probably because of the antibiotic), and the slightest amount is enough for the whole face (if any of you end up going for this one, I'd recommend applying it bit by bit to the face so you can then estimate how much you need for the whole thing, just to not waste or risk overapplication due to not estimating correctly).
I love your channel, Dr. Idriss! I have been using your skin care regime as my daily self-care routine (layering my serum, moisturizer, etc + CHEMICAL exfoliating 2-3 x /week.) and it not only makes a difference in my skin, but my mental health as well! As a stressed out and overwhelmed public school employee - Social Worker - I watch you almost daily while I decompress and recharge for another day of remote learning - with both my students and my own children. My Bioderm Micellar water arrives today from Amazon! Be well and thank you!
leesa kamaru I would love to see videos on keratosis pilaris and ways to help, strawberry leg treatment, and ways to help prevent or lessen spider veins. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and making these videos! ❤️
Yes, please! My questions include..Do we use Azelaic acid, and if so is over the counter fine? Is metronidazole effective for people prone to flushing and visible capillaries? What do you think about Apostrophe and Curology?
@@jarielisgarcia8916 I use azelaic acid gel 15% (prescription) and it has worked really well. I have mild rosacea with no breakouts... it's really helped with the redness and flushing. It is pricey ($130 with insurance) however I started the first tube in late November and finished it on Feb 10. A little goes a long way! Hope she talks about it at some point.
Oh my god! I love this video! I am a biologist and I watch so many videos related to skincare because I really want to understand how actives or in general skincare works. This is the only video that helped me connect the dots. Now the retinoid picture is much more clear to me. Thanks a lot for this video.
My new sunday morning routine: attending dr. Shereene’s class. And don’t forget to take notes you guys. Thank you for educating us and makes it easier to understand by using funny analogies 👏
I really appreciate that you made seeing a dermatologist much more assessable. In the sense that you answer many of the questions that I would have had for a dermatologist. I was able to completely treat my acne from your videos!!! Education is key!
Please please pleaseeee do something on female hair loss esp into 30s and how to battle that when blood tests (pending female hormonal panel) have ruled out any deficiencies
Would love to see a video specifically on prescription retinoids especially the Altreno you’re using and how you’re liking it! Thank you for all your wisdom! ☺️
I'm 56 and found you a few weeks ago. Sure wish I found you 10 years ago, but hey, it's never too late. Thank you for these clear and concise videos. Already changed my life. :-)
Dr. Idriss is love! Me and my mom started the journey of tretinoin (0.025%) and I love it. It's been only 8 days but I could see very little amount of purging which isn't even noticable. My skin has lesser acne, and it's gotten smoother and plumper that before. I apply only a pea size amount and I am not going to rush. Another thing Dr. Idriss advised was Minoxidil 5% for hair growth and slowly but surely I am seeing my hair is growing back. This lovely doctor not only stopped me from using tonnes of expensive useless products but also helped me educate myself better about my skin. Thank you Dr. Idriss, you're a best friend I never had! I showed your video to a friend of mine and he is obsessed with your channel. Kinda has harmless crush on you.
I love love love this video! I’ve been using Tretinoin 0.25% for a year and 2 months now. I love the effects of it and how it has helped tame my acne and in effect my skin overall. Got a lot of compliments with of how my skin “glows”. Also, consistency is truly the key ❤️❤️❤️
“Sorry for those of you who don’t like it when I hit the desk.” We love it when you hit the desk. I also cast my vote for seeing a video on micro needling. I got it done professionally and I’m having a weird texture reaction? I’d love to know if I’m just crazy. Thanks Shereene!
The astrology reference gave me an idea... Tell me what u guys think! Aries: glycolic acid (classic, strong, great results but you need to be careful. Strong!) Taurus: retinoids (be careful, if you push too hard they WILL push back. But if you keep boundaries, they'll reliably slowly fix almost everything lol) Gemini: Azelaic (so versatile - antibacterial, comedolytic, anti-inflammatory. Only gets left out of the conversation because its impossible to work with (hard to formulate)) Cancer: Hydroquinone (controversial, some ppl call them "toxic". Feels like you're walking on eggshells, but can yield unparalleled results if you can strike the magical balance) Leo: lactic (a bit basic, but delivers a more calm punch than aries, making it more tolerable. You'll feel hydrated and glowing with lactic in your friend group - superstar even though it isn't that chemically fascinating) Virgo: glycerin (so "boring" you barely even think about it - but when you do, you realize it makes up the entire foundation of your routine and is a superstar) Libra: Hyaluronic acid (aesthetic... tolerated by everyone, ultimately a bit basic though. Immediate satisfaction if you want to feel cute!) Scorpio: Ascorbic acid (mystical, can do so many things in theory, but very fussy and hard to cooperate with. Be careful or you'll get stung) Sag: Mandelic (somehow always forgotten, but is actually so cool and versatile - brightening, antimicrobial, water AND lipo-soluble. Def underrated and a total firecracker powerhouse) Capricorn: Niacinamide (brilliant basics. Can help almost everyone with almost anything, just not the most wow-factor. But we still all respect its genius in accessibility, and hard-working nature) Aquarius: tranexamic (ahead of its time. Some ppl call BS and think they won't live up to any claims) Pisces: salicylic (honestly so therapeutic. Probably one of the best anti-acne ingredients, but gets left out because it isn't fancy. Will always be there for you though)
Dr. Shereene you are the best advertisement for your channel. Your skin is beautiful; clear, luminous and healthy looking. It helps a lot to see what you do and what you don't do. Thanks!!
Can we have a videos about skincare before and after workouts in the middle of the day? How it effects the morning and night time skin care routines? ❤️🌤️😎
I watched many videos about retinol because I was so confused and the way you explained finally made sense so thank you! I am going to include retinol in my skincare and now I am actually excited and looking forward to it so thank you!
Oh my gosh acutane is a retinoic acid. Of course it is. 16 year old didn’t think about that. But here I am 10 years later wishing I had the skin I did when I was taking it! I know not everyone has the same experience, but I glowed. It was amazing and I need to get back to that!
I finally understand what retinol is, and where to start. I think this is such an extensive video and the best explanation from all the videos that I've watched so far. ❤
I just really love how you explain so enthusiastically pretty much everything. I look forward to your videos. And if you have products in development, can’t wait. I trust you. Thank you for everything you do. 🧡🧡
Happy Lunar New Year from Vietnam, Dr. Shereene Idriss ! I started my skincare routine quite late, just last Fall when the pandemic started to give me more and more "masknes". Haven't embarked on my adventure with Retinoids yet, but I've been researching. And gotta say, your video is the most educational and easy to understand one that i've watched so far. Rarely comment on youtube, but just wanna say thank you, from the other side of the globe!
First of all, I love when you bust out the textbook! Thanks again for an amazing video with true evidence-based medicine. I appreciate you addressing darker skin tones!
I've heard that thing about not doing strong actives in the summer here in Northern Europe too. Doctors also used to say to avoid surgery in summer as well, unless it's an emergency - something about wounds healing worse when it's warm 🙂
You can get Trentinoin through Curology as well. It is still in prescription form because you are assigned a Derm online through Curology. That's how I get my Trentinoin. I started at the lowest grade and have gone up. 01%. I have zero irritation but my skin was used to Adapalene gel and stronger retinols before using Trentinoin.
Been wishing for you to make a video on my favourite topic at present : RETINOIDS, and here it is!!😃😃 Thank you Dr. Shereen Idriss ❤❤❤ P. S. I love you 😘 🙏 From India 🇮🇳
Questions that could be a part of your topics; 1-Are pore vacuums effective for blackheads? 2- What products are helpful for burnt scars? 3- What should be done to reduce cellulite? 4-Do sunscreens cause acne( I am having this problem all the time whenever i put on sunscreen) 5- What are the benefits of bepanthol( It is commonly used in Turkey and advised by dermatologists) Thank you for your videos, they are great sources for me as an 37 years old person:)
Great video, thank you!!!! 😊 please talk about eyelash serums🙏 (I am using one, but recently I started hearing that they could damage your eyes. Now I am hesitant to continue using the serum) it would be great if you could explain to us how they work.
Thank you for your videos! I've learned so much during this year. I was wondering about microcurrent devices: the science behind what they do, their efficacy, target audience, brand/type recommendations. I used to assume they were more novelty than actually effective, but then I saw you use one in a video. Thank you!
Ma'am, please slam the table *as hard as you need it to be* because it IS annoying to get the wrong idea of retinoids and hear false info being spread around. You are doing god's work and I love it ❤️❤️❤️ EDIT: About Cerave's Resufacing Retinol, I've heard that it's been formulated with 0.3% of retinol. Although it's kind of questionable that that is not stated on the packaging itself.
Today, I went back to this absolutely perfect video to re-solidify my knowledge. Thank you so much. I appreciate you so much and also have enjoyed your Major Fade products. I don’t get hyperpigmentation but I wanted to try your products anyway to experience them and support you. Thanks for all that you do.
Geek&Gorgous also has a retinal serum (in two strenghts: 0.05% and 0.1%) and it is my favourite! It is also quite affordable (€12.50 and €18.50, respectively), compared to Avene and Glytone. They are from Hungary and ship internationally!
I would really appreciate a video about fungal acne. Ingredients to avoid, treatments, and appropriate products to incorporate in skin care routine. Please and thank you in advance.
I really enjoy your videos. I would like a simple skincare routine for a woman in her 50's. Like what would be the top 3 products a woman should use...keeping it not super costly. Thank you. Stay well
Please make a video on back acne, acne on the back. I’ve had it since 15 years ago, not one day have I had a clear back since then. Thank you in advance.
@@NadiaDakroub I’m a vegan. I eat very clean. I’ve had them since I was a teen, I’m in my 30’s. So I guess more than 15 years. I’ve tried different things and never helped.
You're the best! I love how real you are and how you lay it all out in an easy-to-digest manner. Would loooove to see a Perioral Dermatitis video. Know a lot of us suffer from it and it's such a tricky/sneaky condition...
Enjoyed this lecture. Im glad you really dont have a cancel culture mentality but more of what it is you recommend for a certain demographic. Keep it up 😊
Looking at the ingredient list of CeraVe, I can see that the retinol is listed ahead of the preservative. Preservatives are generally found at around 1% of a cosmetic. So while you can't be absolutely positive unless CeraVe is willing to tell someone the percentage, it's likely more than 1%.
Yes, this right here!! I’m wondering the same thing. Been using one by Andalou. Haven’t experienced any irritation at all, which I’m super grateful for since my skin is quite sensitive.
You’re amazing at explaining things and keep everything straight forward!!🤩it’s unfortunate how much misinformation and misnomers there are for retinoids. I would love a video on your product recommendations for acne!
I just started using a 0.2% Retinol and this video has perfect timing! I'll force all the info onto my boyfriend, because he keeps talking about cryptocurrencies and Retinoids are a much better topic.

The astrology reference gave me an idea... Tell me what u guys think!
Aries: glycolic acid (classic, strong, great results but you need to be careful. Strong!)
Taurus: retinoids (be careful, if you push too hard they WILL push back. But if you keep boundaries, they'll reliably slowly fix almost everything lol)
Gemini: Azelaic (so versatile - antibacterial, comedolytic, anti-inflammatory. Only gets left out of the conversation because its impossible to work with (hard to formulate))
Cancer: Hydroquinone (controversial, some ppl call them "toxic". Feels like you're walking on eggshells, but can yield unparalleled results if you can strike the magical balance)
Leo: lactic (a bit basic, but delivers a more calm punch than aries, making it more tolerable. You'll feel hydrated and glowing with lactic in your friend group - superstar even though it isn't that chemically fascinating)
Virgo: glycerin (so "boring" you barely even think about it - but when you do, you realize it makes up the entire foundation of your routine and is a superstar)
Libra: Hyaluronic acid (aesthetic... tolerated by everyone, ultimately a bit basic though. Immediate satisfaction if you want to feel cute!)
Scorpio: Ascorbic acid (mystical, can do so many things in theory, but very fussy and hard to cooperate with. Be careful or you'll get stung)
Sag: Mandelic (somehow always forgotten, but is actually so cool and versatile - brightening, antimicrobial, water AND lipo-soluble. Def underrated and a total firecracker powerhouse)
Capricorn: Niacinamide (brilliant basics. Can help almost everyone with almost anything, just not the most wow-factor. But we still all respect its genius in accessibility, and hard-working nature)
Aquarius: tranexamic (ahead of its time. Some ppl call BS and think they won't live up to any claims)
Pisces: salicylic (honestly so therapeutic. Probably one of the best anti-acne ingredients, but gets left out because it isn't fancy. Will always be there for you though)
🤣🤣🙌 as n Aquarius YASSS but small edit “they won’t live up to their claims.... until they do BOOM💥🤣”
@@shereeneidriss I too, am an Aquarius lol! When we do, we DO! ♒️
This was awesome 🙌 I can't stop laughing I'm a Taurus and it's spot on 🤣
Very creative 👏🏻
Brilliant!! As an Aquarius, we definitely are ahead of our times.. 😁❤
Dr. Shereene you are the best advertisement for your channel. Your skin is beautiful; clear, luminous and healthy looking. It helps a lot to see what you do and what you don't do. Thanks!!
I’m pretty new to the channel but I love your no nonsense personality!! I can tell you’re an amazing doctor
Retinol didn't get rid of my skincare problems but it sure kept them at bay and I saw quite a difference in texture and appearance.
Can we have a videos about skincare before and after workouts in the middle of the day? How it effects the morning and night time skin care routines? ❤️🌤️😎
I’d love your thoughts on bakuchiol vs retinoids!! Thank you for this info!
PLEASEEEEEE! Do a video talking about nuface and radiofrecuency:)
I watched many videos about retinol because I was so confused and the way you explained finally made sense so thank you! I am going to include retinol in my skincare and now I am actually excited and looking forward to it so thank you!
Would love a video on what to address first when you have multiple things you want to deal with. I.E. skin elasticity, wrinkles & melasma
Oh my gosh acutane is a retinoic acid. Of course it is. 16 year old didn’t think about that. But here I am 10 years later wishing I had the skin I did when I was taking it! I know not everyone has the same experience, but I glowed. It was amazing and I need to get back to that!
“You are on the irritating and potent side” hahaha love the realness in your videos.
LOL
I finally understand what retinol is, and where to start. I think this is such an extensive video and the best explanation from all the videos that I've watched so far. ❤
I just really love how you explain so enthusiastically pretty much everything. I look forward to your videos. And if you have products in development, can’t wait. I trust you. Thank you for everything you do. 🧡🧡
This chic cracks me up. Half the reason I watch is her funny way of doing things. Keep up the good work!
Would love if you could do a deep dive into whether to choose adapalene or tretinoin for a given skinconcern.
Happy Lunar New Year from Vietnam, Dr. Shereene Idriss
! I started my skincare routine quite late, just last Fall when the pandemic started to give me more and more "masknes". Haven't embarked on my adventure with Retinoids yet, but I've been researching. And gotta say, your video is the most educational and easy to understand one that i've watched so far. Rarely comment on youtube, but just wanna say thank you, from the other side of the globe!
First of all, I love when you bust out the textbook! Thanks again for an amazing video with true evidence-based medicine.
I appreciate you addressing darker skin tones!
We use mostly retinoic acid (tretinoin) here in Brazil, because you can buy without a presciption and is also very cheap.
You can buy most things without a prescription in Brazil, right? 🤣
@@Persefone94 not really..
I've heard that thing about not doing strong actives in the summer here in Northern Europe too. Doctors also used to say to avoid surgery in summer as well, unless it's an emergency - something about wounds healing worse when it's warm 🙂
I personally LOVE the A313! It is very strong actually! I have found that it’s stronger than other retinoids!
I agree!
Would love a video about face masks or one about hair health!
I love how enthusiastic you are about skin! Thank you, I love the energy you bring while being greatly informative ❤️
Love how your husband shows up in most of your videos 😂😂😂
Loo
You can get Trentinoin through Curology as well. It is still in prescription form because you are assigned a Derm online through Curology. That's how I get my Trentinoin. I started at the lowest grade and have gone up. 01%. I have zero irritation but my skin was used to Adapalene gel and stronger retinols before using Trentinoin.
Been wishing for you to make a video on my favourite topic at present : RETINOIDS, and here it is!!😃😃
Thank you Dr. Shereen Idriss ❤❤❤
P. S. I love you 😘 🙏
From India 🇮🇳
Wish and you shall receive my friend 🙌❤️
@@shereeneidriss Amen 🙏✨
Questions that could be a part of your topics;
1-Are pore vacuums effective for blackheads?
2- What products are helpful for burnt scars?
3- What should be done to reduce cellulite?
4-Do sunscreens cause acne( I am having this problem all the time whenever i put on sunscreen)
5- What are the benefits of bepanthol( It is commonly used in Turkey and advised by dermatologists)
Thank you for your videos, they are great sources for me as an 37 years old person:)
Your eyes are so beautiful! Like your videos a lot, very helpful
Thank you so much!
I would love to see a video of skin care by age range, such as 30s, 40s,50s & 60s. Or a Video of antiaging. TY Love all the information :)
I currently use the skinceuticals 0.5, thank you for educating us on retinoids!
Love this science based informations! Such a refreshement in a world of biased and ‘iMfluencer’ misinformations. Merci bcp Sheerene!
Great video, thank you!!!! 😊 please talk about eyelash serums🙏 (I am using one, but recently I started hearing that they could damage your eyes. Now I am hesitant to continue using the serum) it would be great if you could explain to us how they work.
Yes please!
She: "people in Brazil..."
Me, living in Brazil: "yes, me, rigth here"
💚💚💚
Same here!
Actually, I was like 'did she really say Brazil?!' So I went back a little just to make sure I wasn't crazy...hahaha 💚💛
Please make a video on rosacea and seborrheic dermatits
On it
^^^thiss my boyfriend has both these and is not big on going to the doctor, would love to help him
I just found your channel and I'm literally obsessed with you. Would trust u with my life
Oh!! I am so happy about this video! Just the right moment.
Thank you for your videos! I've learned so much during this year. I was wondering about microcurrent devices: the science behind what they do, their efficacy, target audience, brand/type recommendations. I used to assume they were more novelty than actually effective, but then I saw you use one in a video. Thank you!
Ma'am, please slam the table *as hard as you need it to be* because it IS annoying to get the wrong idea of retinoids and hear false info being spread around. You are doing god's work and I love it ❤️❤️❤️
EDIT: About Cerave's Resufacing Retinol, I've heard that it's been formulated with 0.3% of retinol. Although it's kind of questionable that that is not stated on the packaging itself.
LOL thank you!
@@shereeneidriss OMG you're welcome 😂😂😂
Today, I went back to this absolutely perfect video to re-solidify my knowledge. Thank you so much. I appreciate you so much and also have enjoyed your Major Fade products. I don’t get hyperpigmentation but I wanted to try your products anyway to experience them and support you. Thanks for all that you do.
“Irritating and potent site” of your husband is too funny 😂
I love it when you hit the table - assertive in a gesture 😊
Geek&Gorgous also has a retinal serum (in two strenghts: 0.05% and 0.1%) and it is my favourite! It is also quite affordable (€12.50 and €18.50, respectively), compared to Avene and Glytone. They are from Hungary and ship internationally!
Are you still using it?
@@rora1435I am! Still recommend!
It's hard to find such clarity and knowledge. Thank you for your openness, Dr. Shereene
Such a good video!! I love when your family pops in ♥️ I also love how informational your videos are. Thank you 🦋💕
I believe everything u say cus she is stunning and her skin is to die for😭💗
I would love to know more about micro needling and what it can be used for? Love your videos!! ❤️
I'm almost 51 and have recently started getting it done. I've noticed a HUGE change in the texture and plumpness of my skin. It's been amazing!
I would really appreciate a video about fungal acne. Ingredients to avoid, treatments, and appropriate products to incorporate in skin care routine. Please and thank you in advance.
I would love to see a video about how to treat PIE marks, there's very little content about this
Yesssss!! PIE is a hard one!!
I really enjoy your videos. I would like a simple skincare routine for a woman in her 50's. Like what would be the top 3 products a woman should use...keeping it not super costly. Thank you. Stay well
Please make a video on back acne, acne on the back. I’ve had it since 15 years ago, not one day have I had a clear back since then. Thank you in advance.
Consider an elimination diet. My son had them all over his back. When he changed his diet they decreased and went away.
The Cerave SA cleanser helped clear mine! Hydroquinone helped with the blemishes.
@@NadiaDakroub I’m a vegan. I eat very clean. I’ve had them since I was a teen, I’m in my 30’s. So I guess more than 15 years. I’ve tried different things and never helped.
@@swabrren what’s hydroquinone? Which products do you recommend?
@@kita3256 I know you didn’t me lol, but hydroquinone is a very strong skin bleaching agent, to put it in a nutshell
You're the best! I love how real you are and how you lay it all out in an easy-to-digest manner. Would loooove to see a Perioral Dermatitis video. Know a lot of us suffer from it and it's such a tricky/sneaky condition...
Enjoyed this lecture. Im glad you really dont have a cancel culture mentality but more of what it is you recommend for a certain demographic. Keep it up 😊
Dr. Dray has some SERIOUS competition here!!! Im new your channel and here to stay!!!✌️👍✌️👍
Looking at the ingredient list of CeraVe, I can see that the retinol is listed ahead of the preservative. Preservatives are generally found at around 1% of a cosmetic. So while you can't be absolutely positive unless CeraVe is willing to tell someone the percentage, it's likely more than 1%.
I would love a video about Botox vs dysport and any other of your fav procedures to fight the aging, wrinkling and sagging 🤣🤣🙌🏼
WHAT ABOUT BAKUCHIOL?💓 Please make a video please
Yes, this right here!! I’m wondering the same thing. Been using one by Andalou. Haven’t experienced any irritation at all, which I’m super grateful for since my skin is quite sensitive.
Everytime you hit the table, BOOM! a new synapsis🤯✨
You’re amazing at explaining things and keep everything straight forward!!🤩it’s unfortunate how much misinformation and misnomers there are for retinoids. I would love a video on your product recommendations for acne!
I love this transparency and burst of information as always.
