Thank you for your recommendations.When I don’t work,I tend to goof off,sleep and waste time.I need to be more productive,also to ward off bouts of depression.Thank you Doc.
hi Dr Dray happy Tuesday, I suffer with psoriatic arthritis I use two crutches everyday just to get around...unfortunately sometimes life won’t let you get on and do the things you love..but one thing I can do is watch you and your great advice, your one my enjoyments for the day and your mom and tybee on the weekends so thank you from the bottom of my heart....see you tomorrow x
Using a planner helps me. I use one on my phone and set an alarm that goes off 15 minutes or so before I'd like to start a task. Helps me stay on track throughout the day. On house-cleaning days it can be boring, so I play some music or a podcast in the background while I fold laundry and what not.. helps keep me going.. kind of the same way that music helps me at the gym, I guess, but instead of energetic music its something like piano jazz or blues. Also, I have sometimes written myself notes or motivational reminders on sticky notes and stuck them in little spots around the house where I'll see them to remind me to stay motivated. I've gotten used to waking up pretty early, but if I need extra help I tell my mom to call me when she wakes up. She wakes up at 4am everyday and has always been that way since we were little. She'll call me and won't let me off the phone until I am all the way up! Those are my tactics, I suppose! Thanks for sharing Dr. Dray!
I just wanted to say thank you Dr Dray. I bought hada labo plumping gel, cerave moisturizing cream and cleanser and even ordered hada labo sunscreen from Japan. All super worth it, my skin is super smooth and my stretch marks arent so "dry" and look smoother. I'm 21, but always had a problem with creams causing irritation so couldn't have a proper routine(didn't know it was the fragrance and other stuff)
Very good routine for those who can't manage their time. I used to write on a piece of paper everything I had to do in a day. When I finished a task, I would cross it off my list. I've always been like a tornado now I'm more like a breeze...lol I keep doing it but over a longer period of time. Health sometimes forces us to slow down our pace.
My productive morning starts the evening before-tidying up, putting away the dog’s toys....it also helps that I’m most energetic in the morning. Happy day Dr Dray! ❄️☃️❄️
Dr Dray, You are so productive, thanks for sharing your tips. As someone else already commented, you are killing it with your recent videos. Getting up early is essential for me along with making a list of what I need to accomplish by day/week. Have a great Tuesday evening! Snow, sleet, and freezing rain where I am.
I love making lists! Most important to do’s at the top...usually in a sticky note so it can travel with me...makes me feel good when I can check things off...I have started a self care list too, so I don’t forget to exercise, meditate, pray & call friends!
When I have a lot of material to cover, I spread out my yoga mat behind my reading area ahead of time. This way, I can take a focused break to do a pose or two that will help me stretch, refresh and focus my mind. I used to walk my dog but she’s gone to the Rainbow bridge now, but for those of you who have pets that is a great way to reset, too.
Great tips - thank you! I find that not only planning my time but TRACKING my time very useful. Laura Vanderkam has great insight about how we think about time and an excellent 15-min increment time tracker - it’s NOT as tedious as it sounds I promise.
My dad died in August 20 2018. I just wake up fearful and overwhelmed. I still have to take care of mom, 88. Plus I work full time as doctor. I hope these beverages help and I bought the right ones. The choices were even overwhelming. Thanks for the discount.
Hi Andrea, do eyes need protection from radiation just as our skin does? If this is the case, we should theoretically wear sunglasses every time we use sunscreen....right?
Great video! Motivating and spot on realistic advice. When you break it down into "less than an hour" portions it seems totally doable! And yay for putting the phone away! Do you read all of your articles on your computer?? I like print copies to help my eyes and so I can annotate them. But then what to do with all of the paper?!
You need a line of "stuff" t-shirts ,hats, gloves, coffee mugs, and SUN SCREEN, CLEANSER AND MOISTURIZER !!!Zipper bag to keep it all in for tavel!Please!! Dr. DRAY SWAG!!! With that rant... lol... Smoothies are my friend for breakfast. I add my oats to them. I am limited on fruit. Citrus not my friend.Frozen berries and bananas,chia seeds,oats,greek yogurt almond milk.stevia. We have diabetes in my family and we went sugar free/low carb a year ago. Even my 13 year old was ok with it. As long as i make treats sometimes. I have ALWAYS kept a calander. I have to write it down to remember. I spend 15-20 minutes every morning "planning" before the rest of my day. I work full time, I have a 13 year old son who is in music at school, and a husband with ADD. Yes my husband . So I bullet journal and color coordinate events. Huge time saver. I even write in my morning yoga time. I take a back pack to work of my "stuff". Pack it the night before.HUGE time saver. Lunch ,tea bags, kcup coffee,water bottle, planner, my pen pouch,meds, sunscreens and spf lip balm!!! Saves money too. I don't buy coffee or tea out. So funny my son only knows my pink back pack as my purse. Love your channel!! Thanks for all you do!
Loved this video Dr Dray!! I love hearing about your Daily routine!! So personable!! I love that!! Thank you so much for a Fascinating video!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day!!
The perfect wake-up call to productivity. Getting comfy, using a planner are two tips that I will put back into use. To Do lists and "notes" on my phone are useful to me. Thanks for the discounts ...so appreciated. Hugs .....Sherry
Enjoyed. My morning starts with always making the bed and taking my pup for a walk through the park, even today when the weather is very wintery as it is today. Having something ,big and small to look forward to is always an great way to get through a busy week. My husband and I enjoy a glass of wine and pizza every Friday evening, and booking our trip to Singapore for nexted September is getting us through a particularly nasty winter. Happy Tuesday 🙂🍁
I used a dry erase board and love checking things off. I have a huge one and put little and big things on it to see and motivate myself all I have to do for the day. Also great to add grocery store items on it when i run out so i dont forget. Love your videos!
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm currently at work during an "ice storm" (thanks Canada) and I was thinking while having dinner to not only try 4 siggy. But also planning out how to become more productive and make the most of my weekends. So thank you! 😁
I'd love to take a peek into your closet and see a video on what you wear for a whole week, including shoes.I see that you like to wear workout clothing on the weekends. :) Do you have a lot of clothes? How do you decide what to buy, what to keep and what to say goodbye to?
It is super helpful for me to find a purpose for getting my day started. I live in the Northeast, and I love the winter because the need to shovel snow gets me up and motivated. Using my body and muscles in a purposeful way really gets me energized. I think I may be the only human who loves shoveling snow! For spring/summer, gardening is the thing that gets me moving! Also, I used to keep chickens, a flock of 17. Getting out of the house to collect eggs, feed them, clean the coop, etc was an awesome motivator for me. It was enjoyable and rewarding and got my body going every day. I currently live where I cannot have chickens, but I definitely plan to do this again in my future.
1. Love this kind of organizational video!! Appeals to me so much! :-) 2. I went to the site you suggested but I am not sure what is the starter pack. I think it might be the one that is sold out? Could you send a link to the specific pack please? 3. Not related to this video but I remember you briefly mentioned (previous video) that you used to use honey. I use honey on yogurt and cottage cheese. Do you not recommend honey? I know you don't eat yogurt or cottage cheese but I am trying so hard to improve my poor eating habits and I am finding some success with this. Thanks for all your videos-LOVE them and always learn so much. Just wish I could eat like your mom and you do! Working toward that.
TY! I am a morning person, aka bright-eyed & bushy-tailed from the start, but stress disrupts productivity. I listen to music. Instant destressor. Will be trying a 4-siggy thing. Will report back if it's a rosacea-trigger. I never know!
let me know how you like it :) rosacea is a struggle...the matcha latte may be a more rosacea friendly choice than the cinnamon coffee or the turmeric latte
How do you decide which articles to read for work? Do you look up any particular subject in dermatology. Do you take notes on it like in college? I'd love to start doing this. I remember love reading research articles in education in college.
Hi dr Dray! My treat during working week after everything is done, everybody is fed etc is to watch your videos! 4 sigmatics are not available in Europe, too bad. However, I discovered an orzo coffee (barley coffee). It tastes like instant coffee and apparently is gaining popularity in Italy too (where the idea comes from). Have a great evening! See you tomorrow!
Dont remember seeing any info on skin protection in extreme winter weather for those who work outside in bitter wind chills or for those who participate in winter sports. Any tips? Is any sunscreen sufficient? Obviously wearing scarfs, gloves, and masks are crucial as well. Thx.
I enjoyed the Mushroom Hot Cacao Mix with cordyceps.. Can’t pass up a sale , will be ordering more. Thanks for the great tips , i’m Such a procrastinator I leave things to the end of the day which of course never gets done . I will definitely implement your tips this weekend,
I love your videos ! Could you please do a review on the Avene tolerance extreme line. Since my skin is very sensitive and gets little red dots from any face creams, I heard about this line being good for people with sensitive skin, so I’m curious what you think of it. Thanks ! 😊
Hey Dr Dray, Could you check out Farmacy honey potion mask and let us know if the ingredients are safe? Pretty please with chia on top?! 😊 P.S I’ve been putting Chaga in my smoothie in the morning and loving it ❤️
I notice you use the original aluminum bialetti? Is this still your go to? I have been looking into the stainless steel versions but I'm not sure if it really matters.
I feel like the laziest person after watching your vids... what is your motivation for productivity? How do you benefit.. is there a feeling of accomplishment? Satisfaction? I finally understand how the mind of highly successful ppl work. My creative unstructured philosophical type mind functions so differently. I can go weeks without analyzing my level of productivity.. and yes I’m well employed lol
Could you do a video on your Pilates routine or recommend a video to follow? This looks like it’s a really good way to start the day and get all stretched out. Love from Scotland 🏴
I use the app Minimalist, it's fun to cross things off the list. There's also a book called Getting Stuff Done which has a theory to organize to do lists where they don't feel overwhelming and make it fun I use in conjunction with the App.
Can you do a video specifically on your thoughts about "parabens" And "toxins" In skin care? I know you say it's blown out of proportion, I'd love to hear a more in depth discussion about that
I ordered the starter kit and some coffee. I really wanted to try the Golden Latte, but I must avoid black pepper. Do you have a different recipe in your arsenal? One thing that helps me get going faster in the am is to decide what I will wear and what I will eat for breakfast before I go to bed. I know it seems silly, but it works for me.
Hi Dr. Dray! Along those lines of productiveness Would you care for doing a video on how to performa a good literature review? I love yours they are so thorough! 💙
Oooh I love all things routine and productivity. Good topic! I enjoy having some organic instant coffee handy. Something that is very important to my productivity is being decluttered. For some reason it amps up my clarity and focus. I also start most days at 4am and asleep before 9 - enough sleep and a low carb diet helps me greatly.
Dr. Dray, you are my productivity inspiration ❤️. Perhaps you've already mentioned this, but what time do you usually get up? Getting up early is something I'm struggling with since I'm self-employed.
Getting to sleep at night and waking up in the morning are also challenges for me. Especially in the winter, all I want to do is stay in bed! My anxiety also makes me want to sleep
After watching many of your videos - THANKS - what do I do with fragranced "skin care" samples that I most likely will not use? Do I throw them out? Moisturize my feet? Thinking of Lancome...some estee lauder... I agree re sipping on beverages lol
Crawling back into bed can be the best part of a weekend lol... I think I have some of those mushroom packet samples 😀 Do u find the color gray soothing?
Quick question, if my sunscreen is a moisturizer sunscreen. Elta md daily do I still need to use my regular moisturizer first or will the sunscreen be enough?
Dr. Dray, I trust your judgement without restraint but I would like to know your opinion on a comment I've read by companies pushing their physical sunscreens. "Chemical sunscreens absorb UVA-UVB rays into the skin and transform the rays into heat, which can damage the dermis." Any comments? Thanks
I like the AM Exercise tip. It really seems to set the day off in a positive direction (my only issue is that I work Monday through Saturday and need to be out of the house by 6:35 AM) I guess a little discipline ever hurt anyone though ;-)
Would it be possible please to give us any information on Bakuchiol, which seems to be one of the latest ingredients to start appearing in skin care? I've read it's a much less irritating alternative to retinol. Loving your videos X
Hi! Maybe you could address this before May, in a video? Dreaming of summer lol... I am totally getting your vibe now on spf, covering up. I have fair Irish skin, and did not spend endless time in the sun in high school or college, as others I know did. We did not have spf back then! I had a couple bad burns over the years (easy to happen w / pale skin, no spf and no clue lol)....anyway! I love swimming outdoors, but sometimes it is between 10a and 2p or 3p...i sometimes stand in water & talk. What is best way to defend myself against sun? Big hat? Ok...sun glasses? I can wear a rash guard from Land's End on top...but sometimes I like some sun! What level spf should I bother with? Just straight zinc on face? It is also sensitive skin, with some oilrness still these days, and I have to worry about break outs still, with wrong products (cystic 😢 which then take time to heal 😢) Also, you mentioned not really sweating! That is kind of me lol ..anhydrous, is it called? Is that a problem in the sun? I feel like I cannot stay out in the sun for more than an hour or two without feeling a bit light headed...thank you
Hi Barbi, I was reading your comment about not sweating. My sister-in-law experiences a problem with her body overheating due to the inability to sweat properly. She mentioned this to her healthcare provider. After testing was performed, it was discovered that she had a mass on her pituitary gland which was causing this issue. She now takes medication in attempts to curb the growth of the mass. Not trying to scare you, but if you have not mentioned this to your doctor, it would be wise to do so (just to make sure nothing serious is going on). Best wishes to you! 🙏😇
Dear Dr Dray, Hi, I just wanted to ask if you could please review Elta MD’s Barrier Renewal Complex. I would really like to know your thoughts on it. Thank you.
I enjoyed this video very much. I’d love to see the opposite side of this. How do you wind down at night to relax before bed? Do you have any tips for nighttime relaxation? I have insomnia and I have a hard time relaxing at night so I need a better nighttime routine.
Enjoyed....I do not like mushrooms,when I had mild rosacea,I could not eat fungus foods,mushrooms are a fungus food,my skin had a bad allergic reaction to them.
Dr. Dray, I have been struggling with Perioral Dermatitis, you mentioned in your video the vanicream light lotion but the first ingredient is petrolatum and my doctors told me to avoid that. I bought this cerave Restoraderm lotion is that safe to use on the face? I’m stressed out about it because it only seems to get worse
One thing that really aids my concentration and energy is eliminating sugar. I enjoy an occasional indulgence, but if I'm intent on being productive, sugar has no place in it. Sugar makes my brain foggy and I feel lethargic. 😝👎 I need to schedule more like you Dr! I tend to start and stop and never finish projects. Always room for improvement here! Much appreciated!
Thank you for your recommendations.When I don’t work,I tend to goof off,sleep and waste time.I need to be more productive,also to ward off bouts of depression.Thank you Doc.
thanks for watching!

"Saturday's with Dr. Dray"
It is like having a cup of Java with a friend! Dr. Dray always brings a ray of light to brighten the day! 🌈💛
My productive morning starts the evening before-tidying up, putting away the dog’s toys....it also helps that I’m most energetic in the morning. Happy day Dr Dray! ❄️☃️❄️
yes, tidying up by night gives a head start for next morning.
Tidying up is essential for my sanity, lol. Happy Tuesday!
Dr Dray, You are so productive, thanks for sharing your tips. As someone else already commented, you are killing it with your recent videos. Getting up early is essential for me along with making a list of what I need to accomplish by day/week. Have a great Tuesday evening! Snow, sleet, and freezing rain where I am.

Very gratifying!
When I have a lot of material to cover, I spread out my yoga mat behind my reading area ahead of time. This way, I can take a focused break to do a pose or two that will help me stretch, refresh and focus my mind. I used to walk my dog but she’s gone to the Rainbow bridge now, but for those of you who have pets that is a great way to reset, too.
that is genius
Great tips - thank you! I find that not only planning my time but TRACKING my time very useful. Laura Vanderkam has great insight about how we think about time and an excellent 15-min increment time tracker - it’s NOT as tedious as it sounds I promise.
Thanks! I need to check her out
I am, officially, Dr.Dray addicted !!!
Listening to you as I'm doing my chores around the house!!! Multitasking at it's finest!!!
My dad died in August 20 2018. I just wake up fearful and overwhelmed. I still have to take care of mom, 88. Plus I work full time as doctor. I hope these beverages help and I bought the right ones. The choices were even overwhelming. Thanks for the discount.
I am sorry to hear you lost your dad
Ramata ~ I’m so sorry for your loss. Take good care of you.♥️
so sorry for your loss. stay strong.🧡
I feel terrible you lost your father.
Hi Andrea, do eyes need protection from radiation just as our skin does? If this is the case, we should theoretically wear sunglasses every time we use sunscreen....right?

Hi Dr. Dray. Was thinking, is there any chance you could do a video on what vitamins women should be taking as we get older?
see my videos on diet and foods for anti-aging
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm currently at work during an "ice storm" (thanks Canada) and I was thinking while having dinner to not only try 4 siggy. But also planning out how to become more productive and make the most of my weekends. So thank you! 😁

I’m caffeine-free and do very little sugar. Which would you recommend?
Heather Elzinga ~ Same here. I’d love to try the ones that relax me, or at least don’t cause me to be anxious while focusing. Good question.
i like the chai latte with turkey tail and the turmeric latte..both have no caffeine and very little sugar

I use the app Minimalist, it's fun to cross things off the list. There's also a book called Getting Stuff Done which has a theory to organize to do lists where they don't feel overwhelming and make it fun I use in conjunction with the App.
very satisfying
Happy Tuesday everyone!❤️☕️❤️

Can you do a video specifically on your thoughts about "parabens" And "toxins" In skin care? I know you say it's blown out of proportion, I'd love to hear a more in depth discussion about that

I ordered the starter kit and some coffee. I really wanted to try the Golden Latte, but I must avoid black pepper. Do you have a different recipe in your arsenal? One thing that helps me get going faster in the am is to decide what I will wear and what I will eat for breakfast before I go to bed. I know it seems silly, but it works for me.
i like the chai latte
Cute coffee cup!
thanks
So inspiring! Love the sunscreen mug! See you tomorrow! 😘😘
thanks for watching!
Dr Dray Can you post a link to your Expresso machine or post? Please
Hi Dr. Dray!
Along those lines of productiveness
Would you care for doing a video on how to performa a good literature review?
I love yours they are so thorough! 💙
Oooh I love all things routine and productivity. Good topic!
I enjoy having some organic instant coffee handy.
Something that is very important to my productivity is being decluttered. For some reason it amps up my clarity and focus. I also start most days at 4am and asleep before 9 - enough sleep and a low carb diet helps me greatly.
Thanks! Sleep is key
Thanks! Sleep is key
Dr. Dray, you are my productivity inspiration ❤️. Perhaps you've already mentioned this, but what time do you usually get up? Getting up early is something I'm struggling with since I'm self-employed.
Getting to sleep at night and waking up in the morning are also challenges for me. Especially in the winter, all I want to do is stay in bed! My anxiety also makes me want to sleep
After watching many of your videos - THANKS - what do I do with fragranced "skin care" samples that I most likely will not use? Do I throw them out? Moisturize my feet? Thinking of Lancome...some estee lauder...
I agree re sipping on beverages lol
Crawling back into bed can be the best part of a weekend lol...
I think I have some of those mushroom packet samples 😀
Do u find the color gray soothing?
Quick question, if my sunscreen is a moisturizer sunscreen. Elta md daily do I still need to use my regular moisturizer first or will the sunscreen be enough?
I love the sunscreen mug!!
Dr. Dray,
I trust your judgement without restraint but I would like to know your opinion on a comment I've read by companies pushing their physical sunscreens. "Chemical sunscreens absorb UVA-UVB rays into the skin and transform the rays into heat, which can damage the dermis." Any comments? Thanks
that is not substantiated at all
Your Totoro cup tho 😍
Even if the uv index shows None in winter time... do i still needs to use sunscreen
yes
I like the AM Exercise tip. It really seems to set the day off in a positive direction (my only issue is that I work Monday through Saturday and need to be out of the house by 6:35 AM) I guess a little discipline ever hurt anyone though ;-)
Happy tuesday!
Trainer In Training I have to be AT work by 630, with a 30 min drive and I workout in the morning! You can do it! 😊
@@chiknlittle if you don't mind sharing - what time do you go to bed and what time do you get up? Thanks!
Do you watch other UA-cam videos?
Would it be possible please to give us any information on Bakuchiol, which seems to be one of the latest ingredients to start appearing in skin care? I've read it's a much less irritating alternative to retinol. Loving your videos X
i discussed that in my video review of Drunk Elephant's A-passioni retinol
Thanks Dr Dray! That'll teach me to skip watching videos on skin care brands I can't afford lol!
He sure is- makes one feel happy!
Hello Dr. Dray! I hope that you have an amazing Tuesday! 😄
Happy Tuesday!
Hi! Maybe you could address this before May, in a video? Dreaming of summer lol...
I am totally getting your vibe now on spf, covering up. I have fair Irish skin, and did not spend endless time in the sun in high school or college, as others I know did. We did not have spf back then! I had a couple bad burns over the years (easy to happen w / pale skin, no spf and no clue lol)....anyway!
I love swimming outdoors, but sometimes it is between 10a and 2p or 3p...i sometimes stand in water & talk. What is best way to defend myself against sun? Big hat? Ok...sun glasses? I can wear a rash guard from Land's End on top...but sometimes I like some sun! What level spf should I bother with? Just straight zinc on face? It is also sensitive skin, with some oilrness still these days, and I have to worry about break outs still, with wrong products (cystic 😢 which then take time to heal 😢)
Also, you mentioned not really sweating! That is kind of me lol ..anhydrous, is it called? Is that a problem in the sun? I feel like I cannot stay out in the sun for more than an hour or two without feeling a bit light headed...thank you
Hi Barbi, I was reading your comment about not sweating. My sister-in-law experiences a problem with her body overheating due to the inability to sweat properly. She mentioned this to her healthcare provider. After testing was performed, it was discovered that she had a mass on her pituitary gland which was causing this issue. She now takes medication in attempts to curb the growth of the mass. Not trying to scare you, but if you have not mentioned this to your doctor, it would be wise to do so (just to make sure nothing serious is going on). Best wishes to you! 🙏😇
Which Four Sigmatic would you recommend for someone who needs energy, and pain and stress relief? Great video, ty!
Do you just add a packet to a regular cup of coffee?
The matcha latte is a good choice. I add the elixers to regular coffee, but the latte to heated almond milk
Dear Dr Dray,
Hi, I just wanted to ask if you could please review Elta MD’s Barrier Renewal Complex. I would really like to know your thoughts on it.
Thank you.
I bought some spirulina powder, God knows why
Is it at all beneficial for skin via a skin mask?
If not it'll go in my morning coffee xx
no
@@DrDrayzday into the coffee it goes
Where did you get your spf 50 mug? I need it lol.
gift from one of the viewers
Think cafe press makes them
I enjoyed this video very much. I’d love to see the opposite side of this. How do you wind down at night to relax before bed? Do you have any tips for nighttime relaxation? I have insomnia and I have a hard time relaxing at night so I need a better nighttime routine.
I need tips on that, lol
Good morning everyone☕Allah bless you all, ameen. Have a wonderful day and remember your special. 💕💕💕
Happy Tuesday Zahra!! Have a good one!!🙋
Happy Tuesday!
Hi Dr. Dray! Love your stuff. Would love to see a review of Origins and Trader Joe’s skincare products!!!
i have a video on trader joes skin care
Oops. Thanks will check that out.
Dr. Dray do you wash your hair every night?
yes
This is also a great tip for teens and adults in school.
Happy Tuesday Doc🌸👒💜☕.
We all benefit from your keeping up on current medical literature (its obvious that you must) thank you!
thanks!
Picking up car tomorrow after a very very many years no car so I'm free tomorrow and that's how I feel
Enjoyed....I do not like mushrooms,when I had mild rosacea,I could not eat fungus foods,mushrooms are a fungus food,my skin had a bad allergic reaction to them.
Thanks for watching!
Dr. Dray, I have been struggling with Perioral Dermatitis, you mentioned in your video the vanicream light lotion but the first ingredient is petrolatum and my doctors told me to avoid that. I bought this cerave Restoraderm lotion is that safe to use on the face? I’m stressed out about it because it only seems to get worse
One thing that really aids my concentration and energy is eliminating sugar. I enjoy an occasional indulgence, but if I'm intent on being productive, sugar has no place in it. Sugar makes my brain foggy and I feel lethargic.
😝👎
I need to schedule more like you Dr! I tend to start and stop and never finish projects. Always room for improvement here!
Much appreciated!
Happy Tuesday
Lovely 😊
Thanks for watching! Hope you are having a great week
Dear Dr, I always forgot to ask. Did you give the Belgian Inotyol Derma+ spf30 a whirl yet?
Good morning Dr! What do you think about azelaic acid
see my azelaic acid video
Good afternoon also enjoying my coffee Can you Do a review on the new neutrogena retionol oil please
