I recently saw someone replace “anti-aging” with “well-aging” and i thought that was really nice ◡̈
Thats perfect ❤
I like this swap❤️
I think anti-aging is awesome and appropriate.
I recently saw a documentary with Queen Elizabeth II (may she rest in peace), and noticed that despite her old age and wrinkles, her skin looked amazing!
I love how she is explaining EVERYTHING most derms use these terms and i have no idea what they mean i love that she does this please keep it up!!
Anyone else wants a Part 2 on the many types of Vitamin Cs and what's good for what? The AHA and BHA world is also a mystery to me!
AHA ,BHA are exfoliating agent.chamically exfoliate the skin.its helpful to produce collagen .but be aware its irritating.
She has a video on that already :)
Shes got a play list re aha and bha
I found this video a bit too late 😢 I tried 20% vit c for several months, but then i developed irritation, I can't even use the 10% now without my skin getting irritated.. itchy, redness, burning.. 😭
I do. I'm completely confused
As a night owl, I'm like how can she be so perky at 6am? Always look forward to your Saturday videos. It's like hanging out with my girlfriend or my sister but with skin knowledge thrown in. Best wishes for good skin, good health, and much laughter in this coming year to everyone reading this.
Haha, yeah, same. Maybe 2024 will be the year I go to bed before 2am every night...😁
Same type, night owl 🦉 Wishing you peace, love, and laughter in 2024 ✨
@@seralynn7286 Apparently we night owls are most likely to have ADHD. When everyone else goes to bed, and the distractions go away, we are finally able to think.
@@MyFocusVaries That would make sense. I work from home and during the work day, I'm physically present. I call in to meetings, talk to coworkers, etc. But unfortunately, I keep getting worse and worse with focusing. I am spacing out horribly. It's gotten to the point where I basically do my work after work. I'm still working now at 9:22pm on a Friday, and my shift ended at 7 :(.
I didn't know that specifically could be linked to ADHD, though. The not being able to focus part, of course. But only being able to actually get my work done at night, I did not know that was a thing :).
Same here, I am much functional at night. Even at 8am at work i feel I still need to be in bed
So refreshing to find someone this knowledgeable and honest. Too many "skinfluencers" fail to mention the procedures they've undergone and use their enhanced appearance to exaggerate the effects of sponsored products or products of brands they want to work with.
I think the whole idea of using vitamin c in the morning comes from it helping it boost the efficacy of your sunscreen
Yes! And that certain products used at night will not work with vitC, or so I've heard.
Yes, this exactly 👌 I was hoping i hadn't been mislead for years & that others knew/ had read this research too!!
Also protection from free radicals outside during the day
right same, but then also that it helps reverse the damage on previous exposure (in life or that day), so i guess order doesnt matter, or as she states - they are both beneficial. also, who actually reapplies enough every 2 hours everyday
I use mine in the morning because it's just easier to place it there. I can't use it 2x
Out of the 6 social media dermatologists I’ve been following, your videos and explanations are by far the most comprehensive. You are my go to!
I'm so, so glad to be part of this community. Thank you, doctor, for sharing all your expert knowledge with us with none of the bull shit! I appreciate you ❤.
Me to
I really appreciate how you caution people with sensitive skin clearly, without framing it as a blanket rule for all. My skin is very resilent, and I went far too long without using products as effectively as possible for too long because of this common obfuscation.
Just want to let you know that I love your channel & your energy!!!! 😊
Her skin is flawless! What a natural beauty! ✨
I absolutely love your channel and content! Thank you for all you do to keep us little nerds informed.
I’ve been binge-watching your videos, and I’d like to propose “aging support”
as an alternative for “anti-aging”. The meaning is obvious so it doesn’t require additional explanation, and it still twigs the keyword “aging” for searches and title recognition, but it’s positive!
Also as a Scorpio, can confirm 😅😂
Hey Doc, can you please do a video about which products to use/not use in the morning and which products to use/not use at night. Kind of Do’s and Don’ts for AM & PM
I get sad when your videos end 😕 You are literally the best 💖
Please recap what to use before and after Vitamin C again. Thanks
Thank you, Dr. Idriss, for all that you do! I love your videos because you speak to us like we're intelligent adults and because I love learning the science behind skincare. ❤
Your skin is absolutely GLOWING Dr Idriss! Love learning from you! 😍🙌🏻
Thank you! My dermatologist never explains fully and your videos are so helpful with actual scientific explanations. I love them!
I just started watching your videos yesterday. I can't get enough. You answer all questions women needs to know. I'm 55 got lazy in my skincare, after watching alot of your videos yesterday. I'm getting serious about keeping up on my skincare. Your skin is beautiful! Keep the videos coming. Your very informative THANK YOU! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you, Dr. Idriss, for your always illuminating discussions! I'd love to hear more about lash growth serums; watched your couple of shorts and am ready for a full-length vid on them.
as a scorpio woman, being compared to L-Ascorbic Acid is one of the best compliments ive ever gotten 🥰🤣
Hey fellow scorpion sister!! Yeah i laughed out loud at that one....my husband was in the room while i had this playing in the background..and he stopped and said "i know THAT'S right!" When she made the vit C/scorpio comparison 😂 poor guy- he is surround by a bunch of scorpio females: his mom, me, and my daughter 😬
I just found my #1 info YT dermatologist (and proceeded to binge watch)! Your videos are so wonderful. I appreciate how you break down and explain the legitimate study science of things so we can actually understand, but you seem so open to the things that dermatology just doesn't know or the potential for new information to change the existing science of what we do. Just... Yay for the Science.TY, You are awesome and we are so lucky to have your time!
For "why do people think Vitamin C should be done in the morning": for me, at least, I was under the understanding that vitamin C pairs well with retinol, and that it helps in some way with your sunscreen's protection. And that glycolic acid was better at night, rather than during the day when you're more likely to have extra gunk on your face. Not that I heard it as any specific routine or science anywhere! Just what I kind of managed to piece together for myself as a routine...
I love how educational this is. I have been scrolling for more information on Vitamin C, the differences and how to use it. This is perfect!! Also agree with using "well-aging" as opposed to "anti-aging"
I LOVE your content. I am a licensed cosmetologist & have been for 10 years. I’m a hairstylist but love & know so much about skin. I follow so many accounts but honestly haven’t learned anything new lately but I always learn something from you that I’ve never heard. Also hate the anti aging stigma as well! I love learning & skin & learning about skin 😂❤
thank you so much for taking the time to do this
So much valuable info!! I so look forward to your videos every week 😍!!
Hi Dr. Shereene, thank you so much for all the information that you share. I discovered your videos 2 months ago & your tips are already helping to change my skin!! I wasn't leaving my benzoyl peroxide face wash on my skin for long enough & since I changed that, I dont break out anymore. I also tried the Bioderma micellar water because of you & compared what came off on a cotton pad compared to what my other micellar water was taking off & there was no comparison, you sold me! I started using snail mucin & its been so great for my sensitive skin & acne scarring. Also really appreciated your BS products video, I always wondered about jade rollers etc & its nice to have a professional tell you the truth about what tools will do absolutely nothihg for your skin. Oh and shout out to the video you posted about what order to layer your products on your face, game changer! Finally I now know why my face freaked out with the 20% vitamin C serum I used on my very sensitive skin from Urbanrx. I won't be using that anymore. You are the BEST! Wish I found you 10+ years ago ❤
Could you do a video of the pros/cons/myths of dermaplaning? Especially in regards to facial hair and its regrowth.
I appreciate all that your channel has to offer......honesty, educative, informative, cost benefit, suggestions of products. My thought on the word usage of anti aging.....what about forward living? or something along those lines. (ha ha, get it?)
Heey! I'm glad I found your videos. Love the vibe, and the explaination!!!!❤
Vitamin C is one of my most effective ingredients. I don't have dull skin or pigmentation (or many wrinkles), but I notice a definite improvement with C. I only use it in the morning, evenings are for relinal and peptides. This routine works for me.
I get the C serum from Geek & Gorgeous, and have no problems with it going bad. Here's how I manage it.
G&G sells an empty tiny dropper bottle labeled for the C serum. I bought one. My large bottle lives in its box in my refrigerator ... every few weeks I put some (maybe 1/2 the small bottle) into the small bottle and put that in my bathroom cabinet for daily use. The big bottle gets closed tightly, put back in the box (dark), and back in the refrigerator.
I had a health issue last year that completely derailed my skin care routine ... the C in the small bottle went bad, but the big bottle was clear and fresh, right up to the end.
I know this is like months later, but I just want to say I’m a chemist and we actually use this method in the lab to store chemicals that degrade easily! So good job! I love this.
@@saramccauley4680 I'm not a chemist, but I do "kitchen lab" cosmetic formulating. [Complete with preservatives, pH testing, and lots of "non-natural" ingredients.] I learned a lot about storage methods from my self-education.
Doc can you do a video on all the brightening ingredients we need in our routines please!!!!!!! Thank you so much, I’am now the biggest skin nerd because of your videos❤
I second this!
She already had one
I am in awe of your energy! I would love to know what all you do to achieve this. Do you keep a diet that intentionally supports energy and skin health? You mentioned in an older video that you and your husband gave up alcohol.. is that still the case and how much of an improvement in all areas did you see? If your diet and other habits play a role in your skin and energy I would LOVE a video on topic. :)
I like Dr. Shereene because not only she is very insightful but also full of humor! ❤
Thank you Dr. Idriss. It's so helpful to know I can use my inactive Vit C with Retinol. I'd been scouring the Web trying to get a definitive answer for months! ❤
I would like a video about hand care and products to wash and moisturize them.
Hello Dr. Shereene, I’m only me in the channel and already obsessed with your videos. I’m a guy who lives in wet and cold Ireland. Could you please ( if possible) make a video about men skincare? I’m 47 yo and not sure whether to but skincare “for men” or not. Thanks so much and well done for the brilliant job! 😄
You look so good at 6am ❤ My skin and hair has improved since I started following you even though I am not able to use all the formulations, thank you!
Do you have a video on different types of actives and how to pair them? Love your videos so much, they’re super useful and educational!
Since I discovered your channel I have been binge watching your videos. Being a family physician myself, your videos allowed me to help my patients.
And now I am more careful in choosing my products. Thanks a lot
It is 8am my time in AZ. I'm trying to get awake with y'all and coffee!
Love it! and thank you. (Psst. your hubby is great.... love how he supports you!)
I agree that people don't give products enough time to yield results. People are so swept up in the fast everything movement that they want results before they've purchased the product!! Time really is on your side when it comes to skincare.
How about a video on skincare hidden gem ingredients. We all have heard of niacinamide and HA as they are in EVERYTHING, but sometimes I'll see an ingredient and have to do a little more research as it's not very common. Then I'll find out it's got great benefits and I wonder why it's not used more.
Thank you Dr. Idriss for your skin care advises especially the vitamin c and retinol which can be used together with inactive ingredients. It works with me in the morning and at night. ❤
Some people are so sensitive in these comments. Sheesh! 42 yrs of age over here and absolutely okay with the terms anti-aging and mature skin. Thank you Dr. Idriss for another informational video!
Would love some content on post-menopausal acne on dry-ish rosacea skin.
This is the way to start off the New Year, with a another fantastic video from Dr Idriss. Thanks so much for everything you've taught us about Skincare. Good Luck at the dentist. 😬 💜🤓
Brandefy's Vitamin C is a much, MUCH better dupe for the Skinceuticals one than the Timeless serum btw. I've used all 3 and the Brandefy is heads and shoulders above the Timeless in delivering results, and is also much more similar to the Skinceuticals in texture and smell
Than you, thank you, for all your expert advice! I was using L-Ascorbic Vitamin C products on my face for a long time and every time, it would make my skin stingy and red. I started using your Major Fade Active Seal and my skin has never been so healthy looking. No redness and irritation!!! 😍😍😍😍
Such a great breakdown Shereene!!!!
How do we know when it is active or inactive? I ask but you might have touched on this in that other video so will check there.
Also, I love your content just the way you are. You’re our girl friend that keeps it real. Ty!
l ascorbic acid is the active form of vitamin C. All the other vitamin C derivatives are inactive forms of vitamin C
Thank you! Im learning so much from you and looking forward to getting my rosacea under control with all of your help. Future video idea: skincare for kids under 10 and another for kids 10-12 (tweens). My 8 year old is so into skincare but I don’t want her to damage her skin by testing out items she does not need on her beautiful face!
Dt Dray has some videos that touch on that! Good luck on your skincare journey ✨️ 💛
For underage kids prefer just a simple and gentle creme
I think Dr. Idriss mentioned once that kids obviously do not need a skincare routine as we understand it, only an appropriate moisturizer, that's it.
Kids just need gentle cleanser and vaseline
Nothing!!
Simply amazing info! Happy New Year🎉
Thank you for the amazing content! 💖Could you please make a video about pore clogging ingredients and whether they should be absolutely avoided for acne-prone skin
I propose substituting”anti-aging” with something like “youth-sustaining”!
I also hate the term mature skin. It has negative connotations to me. Immediately think of wrinkles and sagging. Not sure what to replace it with. Just venting
How about vibrancy maximizing?🎉
@@Grimalkin987 Yes, please - let's move away from age-related language altogether!
Even worse no thank you
Dislike. That is still emphasizing ones’ youth, saying it’s not as good to age, when it is in fact, a blessing.
Those highlights are gorgeous!
So glad I discovered your channel❤
Please dedicate one video to underarm skin health, how to take care of underarm skin daily, what about bumpiness, dark skin, bad smell, hair removal technique there... Please cover it...❤
Living in Canada and so disappointed that we cannot order your skincare line up here. Are you planning on shipping internationally soon? Love all your videos and value your knowledge and the information provided each week. I hope to be able to buy your products soon.
Such a helpful video, I was totally using Vitamin C only in the morning because I thought I couldn’t use it with Retinol. That will change starting tomorrow - thank you!! ❤
Thanks for the info! I’m going to do as you suggest: active in am, inactive at night!
Thank you!!! I always look forward to your videos!! 💜
Hey giving us Scorpios are bad name 😂
Instead of ANTI-aging, what about GRACEFUL-aging? I've heard it used a few places but primarily on Cassandra Bankson's channel, but I like it.
Also, you have the most perfect timing with this video! Just a day or two ago I was thinking about vitamin C and wondering how it actually worked in the skin, why it worked, and how to combine it with other actives, and then here's your video to answer my shower thought questions! Thank you 😊
It's not about being graceful or about you as a person aging... It's about preventing degenerative changes in your skin caused by aging. So anti-aging is the perfect term.
I like your enthusiasm and magnetic personality.
This was SO helpful! Thank you!
I'm sensitive with hyperpigmentation from sun damage and I use your Major Fade system daily with great success. Thank you for making these trustworthy products for people like me!!! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
I’m perfectly fine w/the term anti-aging. It is what it is. ☺️
IM SO HAPPY YOU POSTED THIS I just got a vitamin C serum for christmas and i needed some education!
So glad it was helpful! 🙌
Such great content, thank you for the all the helpful information 🩷
Thanks for this wonderful community, Dr. Idriss! I've always been careful about the stuff I put on my face, but you really pushed me to learn and study them. Can you also talk about intensive k beauty routines? Sheet masks for example are very popular where I live. Are they effective or is it better to stick to simpler routines?
Dr Dray and Kassandra Bankson have tons of videos on thar specific topic! Maybe that will help. Good luck on your skincare journey ✨️ 💛
She has said in other videos that she doesn't use sheet masks. They are not necessary if you have a skin care regime, but that if you really wanted to use them you can apply your product and put saran wrap over your face. She said save your money for other things. Hope that helps:)
She would say no to sheet masks. They’re ineffective and bad for the environment. It’s just a marketing thing. You’re better off using products that she talks about in her videos in containers, jars, bottles etc.
I wish you could ship to Europe as well! Are there any plans in the future? I would buy literally everyhting! 😍😍😭😭
Yessss
Me too ❤
You read my mind 😊
Also this was SUCH a helpful video!!
Thank you for educate us! 🙏🏻❤️🫶🏻
To be honest I never undertood what it means when the product says it “brightens.” You used it here as the opposite of dullness which is amazing, but you also mentioned melatonin. Does this mean it makes your skin lighter? I don’t care to look whiter and paler than I already do 😂 I’d love to get an explanation if someone has a second ❤
Unpopular opinion: after years (like, over 15 years) of using various forms of vitamin C at many price points (while using sunscreen, I might add), I've come to the conclusion that they're not very helpful for me. I've permanently dropped them from my routine and my skin looks no different.
I totally agree with you I hardly used Vitamin C, but my skin is very good (by the grace of God) I just feel its too much marketing by the brands...Mostly derms. says don't use oils, but for my dry skin oils do wonders
The same.
Same here and it actually irritated my skin. Taking it orally seems to be a lot more beneficial
It could be a reaction with other products/ingredients.
Hmm...using it for 15 years and no difference? Maybe that's the secret if vitamin c...that you look still gorgeous 😍 and don't recognize the signs of aging...
Would you please talk about dandrufts and itchy scalp as well? And thank you for your time and prescios information🎉
You are the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
Hi Dr, love this super helpful video! I’ve been using Vit C for years now and love it, I even got my husband on it years ago too!! 🙌🏼 I learned today through your video about being able to use it at night along side retinol, thank you! Which order should I apply? Vit c first or retinol? Thank you, as always, for your informative content. 😊
Whichever is thinner consistency goes on first.
Hi Doctor Shereene, I’ve tried so many types of sunblocks and they all cause me to breakout. Can you do a segment on sunblock and the best ones for the different skin types?
Your hair looks great ❤
So glad I found you! Thank you!!
I've been researching for a new Vitamin C serum. One of the inactive forms. Your channel has been very helpful in helping me make an informed choice. One product in particular really caught my eye. It has everything i want in a vitamin c cream, and none of the stuff i don't want. It is your pillowtalk derm major fade one. Only problem is that i'm in Canada and you don't ship internationally. Can i have a grain of hope you will ship to Canada in the future??
Thank you for your videos, Dr. Idriss, they are very informative.
I have two questions:
1. For us that layer products, how do we layer vitamin C and retinol? Can it be done one right after the other if tolerated or should we layer any products in between? Does it even matter?
2. Can you teach us a bit more about copper peptides at some point?
Thanks again!
Yes please. This was my question as well. Where does is fall in the nighttime routine? Thank you!
I have the same question about layering the vitamin c and retinol in my nighttime routine.
Same here. Do we put on the vitamin c first then after the retinol? And if so how long should we wait before apply the last one?
Any clues??
@@isidoravera866 I found another UA-cam dermatologist that said put on the vitamin C first and a bit after the retinol
Thanks so much for this video !!! I needed this!
Thank you Dr Idriss, I LOVE your channel, you are absolutely Amazing and STUNNING
I am a Scorpio and I resemble those remarks! Love this channel!
Literally laughed out loud at that analogy. 😂 She's not wrong...🦂❤
Love your channel and all the knowledge you share with us! I am still struggling though with how many and which of actives I can put on my face at once and how to alternate them to get the best outcome and no irritation...😂 Age 39/40 here!
I'm 67 and started all of this a couple of years ago. Here's what I've settled into (after much research and doing, but I'm not a dermatologist 😉):
🌌PM: Cleanse + rotate EITHER retinol, glycolic acid, or copper peptides.
🌅AM: vitamin C & moisturizer, SPF
She stacks a lot of things, but I am a "simplifier"
Hi Dr. Idriss, thank you for your informative channel. Happy New Year 🎆
Love your videos - so informative! Thanks
I love your show and you are so pleasing to look up. You are absolutely gorgeous and I trust you and I do exactly what you tell me to do. Thank you
I wish I could understand why my skin doesn't respond the way I see/hear others do to skincare. I have used timeless Vit-C daily for over 6 months now an can't see any change. I used lactic acid for a year, again daily and no improvement. After listening to Shereene I switched to glycolic acid 3 months ago, no improvement. I use an LED mask by Current Body for at least a year now with no improvement, I also used the Nuface daily for a few months with zero improvement. I never even got that visible lift from the Nuface on initial use. Its hard to believe honestly but not even a minimal change, in fact my skin seems to continue to get worse at the same speed. I use sunscreen daily and have deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, a lot of age spots an loss of elasticity. I started on tretinoin a few months ago so hopefully that will give me some improvement.😞
Make sure you eat healthy…but still have a sneaky treat 🤣, drink adequate water, get a blood test as you could be lacking something, obviously smoking will destroy skin, the more alcohol the more dehydrated you will get, if you wear sunscreen & makeup you need to double cleanse…otherwise your skin will get clogged as it all isn’t getting removed, make sure you’re not using too much acid…I prefer lactic over glycolic (but I’m a dermal therapist not a dermatologist) I would not use glycolic everyday that’s wayyy too much. I like to use lactic twice a week. I use the current body mask every second night. I don’t like tretinoin. It’s very irritating…I like retinaldehyde. Have you tried growth factors? When you use your products, don’t use pumps & pumps. Your skin can only absorb so much. Less is sometimes more. You could be over doing it. I hope this gives you some ideas. It’s just my opinion and as I said I’m not a dermatologist. I hope you feel better about your skin soon.
Please make a long video about rosacea. What ingredients to avoid, which ones to use, and the right skincare routine for this condition. Thank you
I have a couple videos on my channel!
Love this dermatologist..
Equal to Dr Dray ..
Thanks ladies ❣️
Bless your kind face 💜💜💜💜💜
Could you review different lasers and their benefits.
I just discovered your channel about a month ago and I LOVE IT! I only wish you shipped to Canada - would love to try your products.
Me too. I would order if they shipped to Canada.
Merciii ma Shereene d'amour ❤ You have finally answered my question, which is "Is THD suitable for acne-prone skin?", and the answer is yes! This is the type of vitamin C that is recommended for acne-prone skin
Thank you for explaining vitamin C can be used with my tretinoin! Could you tell me what ingredients do not play well together? Also, I wanted to thank you for pointing out products that don’t have hyaluronic acid. I live in Arizona, and it dries out my face so much I can’t wait for the trend to stop!!
I use the PETER THOMAS ROTH CLOUD MOISTURE DRENCH. It doesn't dry out skin... and it actually hydrates it!!
What do you think of Goodal's green tangerine vit C dark spot serum? Hope your dental appointment went well!
