I loved this Q&A! By the way...I'm 40 years old and heading to med school this Fall (class of 2021!). You're an inspiration!
Marisa Pinto yes!!!! I love hearing this!! So excited that you are going to be a doctor! Congratulations and keep us posted. It flies by soooooo fast it's crazy. Thanks for your sweet comments and I'm so happy you are enjoying the channel 🌸
So happy for you, Marisa! Wish i could experience med school again
I know this is an old comment but how is med school going?! Wishing you all the best!!
40 and med school, you are an inspiration 🥲😁
Definitely got my money's worth with this visit with the Doc. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Hi Dr. Dray, I love this format for q&a. Thank you so much for addressing so many questions from your viewers and sharing your knowledge in a way we can understand. I am learning so much from you! I appreciate that
Kati Raven my pleasure and I am so glad you enjoyed the q&a. Hope you are having a great night 🌸
+Dr Dray (A Day with Dr Dray) i flipped when i heard your monk doing dry brushing joke 👏😂
stumbled upon this account and I am OBSESSED! So nice to get an educated opinion rather than just beauty tips. I struggle with combination skin, and have eczema on various spots throughout my body that comes and goes with seasons. However my under eye and temple area by the crease of my eyes are extremely sensitive and seem to react to ANY product i put underneath them except coco oil. Makeup, cleansers, lotions all leave my side/under eye area red, irritated and then breaks out into a dry red patch. HELP!!
Amber Courchesne thanks! Glad you are enjoying and I hope you are having a great day
Latisse WORKS! When I hit 40, I noticed my lashes and brows were thinning. I started using Latisse on my lashes and brows. Within 3 months they had grown back to how thick they were in high school. I've been using it for over 5 years now and I LOVE it. People compliment all the time on how long my lashes are, so it's definitely noticeable.
Yeah for sure it works! Glad you are liking it and thanks for sharing your experience here in the comments.
I love this sit-down style! Thanks for sharing-- happy Friday!
Love the sit down Q&A! Really helpful. Thank you for doing it!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Dr Dray for your great advise, tips, and sharing your wealth of knowledge. I am almost 50 yrs old, worked in the cosmetics industry for over 20 yrs and have a biochemistry degree...still, I learn something (surprisingly) new from you from every video! Please keep these videos up! thank you! xoxo from NYC!
Julia Christodoulou my pleasure thank you so much for your nice comments! So happy to hear they are helpful. I hope you are having a great day 🌸
I like this format! Very thorough and I learned a great deal from questions posted by other people too. I had concerns regarding dimethicone and paraben as well, and now they are completely addressed :)
Your skin Q&A has been one of the highlights on my Fridays. I can't wait to watch it once I get a notification that your video has been posted. It's so kind of you to spend time doing this for us. Thank you and have a nice weekend :)
I think that the sit down format works best for a Q&A. Especially since alot of what you discuss is pretty technical. Plus you sure cover a lot of material, and this all seems easier to do while sitting down vs. while rushing around during your work day. I would still continue to include snippets of skin care advice as you vlog, though, since it is one of the things that makes you so unique. That plus your delightful personality :). Have a good weekend!
I'd love to see what your daily workout consists of and I'm sure others would love to know too! You're motivating me to be more healthy and fit on the outside and inside! Love your approach to total wellbeing! You go girl! 😀
M Cpay so over joyed to hear the vlogs are motivating to you. That makes my heart so happy! Y'all enrich my life so much it's wonderful that we can share positivity in this unique platform. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend 🌸
Wow! You're answering all of my sunscreen questions. I was curious about the powder sunscreens, so I'm glad to hear your answer. Thank you for the videos. They are a great blend of informative and fun. You have such a great sense of humour!
Also, I like the sit-down format for the Q&A videos.
Thank you so much! Hope you are having a great Wednesday :)
It is quite useful when you use full face makeup everyday, though. Where it is impossible to take off all your makeup and reapply cream sunscreen again. Colorescience make a great one. IT Cosmetics also has SPF 50 (all-physical) sunscreen powder.
Awesome video per usual. You have become my favorite to watch. Look forward to your videos every day. Have a great day!
Kim105 aww thank you so much and I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the channel. Hope you are having a great day 🌸
Good Afternoon Andrea 🌷 Thank you for answering my question. Appreciate it💞 What ever format works for you is what counts. After all you do work all week and you need your down time. So I hope your enjoying your weekend. Candle shopping, visiting Mom, Amazon shopping just enjoy that time. 🌷
Colleen Adams omg Colleen...candle shopping! How did you know girl!!
Thanks for elaborating on dimethicone!! Since you're getting more subscribers, which undoubtedly means more questions, I guess it would be easier for you to have a sit down for Q&A on Fridays. You're very good at 'pulling it off' either way. Do what is best for you, I enjoy your daily vlogs immensely.
Clara Shurmer thanks so much ! I love making and watching vlogs. I feel like reflecting on lifestyle and hobbies/interests in an important aspect of overall health and wellness. The vlogs are a neat way for us all to share those things together. Hope you are having a a great weekend 🌸
Thanks for the Deet/Sunscreen answer. I camp & hike a lot & have wondered about this product.
Great answers
Vicki
Thanks!! I also give a mention about bug repellant in this vlog ua-cam.com/video/3e3yMyFZpiw/v-deo.html
Thanks for taking the time to reply and let me know! I'm checking it out. Have a great day!
Vicki
Great Q&A. Thank you for all the info you share with us.
Does the level of SPF get weakened if you layer a product over it with less SPF?
Wow...a great Q & A session! And you look so doctor-y in your scrubs, haha! Thanks for all the great info! Hope you have a nice evening! ♥
Like the format but still love the vlogs. So today was a double treat, a vlog and a sit down q & a! 😁
Hahaha your reference to the monk dry brushing had me cracking up!! 😂😂😂 Thank you for your videos, always so informative and entertaining!
I love your channel and I enjoyed the Q & A. Hope to see more of them :)
Lisa Dowd thanks and happy Saturday 🌸
So real, honest, knowledgeable and commonsensical! FIU, I do not rely on Powder SPF
c orref 😊
Great video today! I love your vlogs but a sit down is great for q&a's.
Shannon Graham thanks and glad to hear you liked it! Hope you are having a great night 🌸
I really like the Friday q&a!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and hope you are having a great night!
Hey, Dr. Dray! I like this format very much! I vote to keep the q&a as a sit down. Thanks for the cherry angioma answer. You make it very easy for the lay person to understand! Excellent 🌟
M Cpay my pleasure and thank you so much for the complement! Hope you are enjoying your Friday night!!
I always love your videos: so informative
thanks!
Hey Dr Dray. Looking forward to your Friday QnA. It will be great if you could do a video on solutions for pigmentation and dark spots
I have one: ua-cam.com/video/ONLJrUG5wgM/v-deo.html
I like the format even though it was odd not seeing you go through your day. It does put more emphasis on the Q&A. I'm sure it's easier to edit also. Have a wonderful night/day and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Fit TRUCKER thanks! Glad you liked it. Hope you are having a great night 👍🏼
Revitalash is the best! Totaly worth it.
Great video, love these .. very informative
maria16194 thanks so much and hope you are having a great day 🌸
Thank you again for a great video. Quite frankly either way you answer questions works for me,so do what feels best for you. Hope that helped!
Thanks Susan and I am glad you are enjoying. I appreciate your nice comments and hope you are having a great night!
Thank you for all the info! It will be very helpful for me. Have a great weekend. 😆
Olga Perez my pleasure and hope you are having a great day
Glad to hear your thoughts on toner. The new rage is 7, yes 7 applications of toner before using other products. The toner manufactures must be doing back flips!
Lol, I know! Less is more
Hi Dr Dray, thanks for sharing your research & knowledge about skincare. Do you have any views about products that uses plant stem cells? I am wondering if there's any efficacy in using these products.
Glad you talked about paraben. I know a lot of people avoid it because it is "linked to breast cancer". Could you maybe elaborate on that?
No established evidence linking breast cancer to parabens in topicals/cosmetics. Merely speculative at this juncture. Parabens applied to the skin are metabolized by an enzyme within skin cells and then they are conjugated and exreted in the urine and bile. It doesn't hurt to avoid them if it worries you though...plenty of products capitolize on this, so they are easy to find...and there are other preservatives that are effective microbicidals for cosmetics. Hope this helps.
i use vichy lash serum i notice some difference i only been using it for a week. thanks for the info. i wasnt going to get revitalash and im glad i didnt now. ill just go to your channel before i get any skin care. thanks! have a great day!
Lisa Housden awww thanks and thank you so much for sharing your experience in the comments!
You've explained in this video why I didn't used to have a problem with silicones, but do now -- I became sensitized over time. Being sensitive to both silicones and chemical sunscreens makes it super hard to find a good sunscreen product! Used to use the Paula's Choice Hydralight but I react to it now.
:)
I’d love to hear your opinion on all the products from the skincare box from boxycharm and the new Kylie skincare once we know more (already not looking too good with that first face scrub 😅)
Hi Dr. Dray, as a pharmacy student who took a derm elective last year, it's great for me to have found your channel and be able to learn some in depth advice about skin health!
Thanks! So glad you are enjoying!
Sip it! Sip it :) :) just love watching your videos! Not only they are informative but they are also fun! Ok a follow up about lashes and latisse. What are your thoughts on the semi permanent lash extensions? Do they damage the actual lashes? Thanks!
Thanks! Lash extensions are a horrible invention...damage the lashes and eye lashes take forever to grow out back to normal
Great video! Is there a reason that my skin breaks out and itches when I use the Porefessional Primer? I find this to be the best primer in smoothing out my pores but then I deal with itchy skin. I was watching some other videos that stated it could be the silicone or dimethicone in it. Are there other ingredients that clog pores in the primers that you could explain?
I like this format, please keep doing it. What is your take on red light therapy for the facial area?
Yankee Girl thanks! It can be marginally helpful for inflammatory acne.
Love the shorter hair on you!
Can you answer if there is a tint mineral sunscreen with mexoryl?? I'm guessing the zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and mexoryl would all contribute to cover more, right?
OMG you just save my day.
How do I best care for my skin after I have picked and squeezed and scratched at to the point I have made a scabs. I have anxiety and I’m trying to quit but I’m not always good about it.
I used to use Neutrogena oil-free moosturizer and it broke me out all the time. I saw a dermatologist that said it might be the dimethicone in the moisturizer that was blocking my pores. When I stopped using that moisturizer the acne went away.
Hi, I live in a cold, dry climate(Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and was wondering as a man if you have suggestions on how to approach taking care of my skin, specifically the areas that I shave with a razor-or those areas that I trim with clippers during the winter months. I prefer to have a little stubble especially during winter as fully exposing the skin by shaving often results in irritation, razor burn, and even ingrown hairs. As a guy who worked in the beauty industry for almost twenty years, this is one area that I never felt was ever really addressed or offered much if any advice... thanks for sharing your knowledge and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, i am using shampoo with DIMETHICONE, but its medicaly for my sebhoreic dermatitis, i am using this shampoo only 2 per week, and after i use this shampoo i use second 100% bar shampoo to wash off the silicone is that ok?
Always love Friday q&a and I do like it better when your sitting bc your right it helps focus the attention!! Do you think face oils stop the face from sebum production? No matter what I put on my face it's dry by the end of the day... it doesn't help I live in northern Ohio!
LeeAnn Mcclintic thanks so much and so happy to hear you are enjoying it. No I don't believe face oils stop oil production. As a stand alone moisturizer I don't think they are enough. Hope you are having a great day 🌸
I love this idea
Thanks Luz! Hope you are having a great night!
Can you do a video based on anti-aging hand creams that are effective and ones that are not? Thank you. Xxx
A face cream that contains a substance called dimethicone that dissolves in water when washing the face only with water without soap
I have used lash envy from my dermatologist office. after 3 to 6 months I had lengthened lashes. However, latisse is more effective to grow additional lashes not just length.
from my experience
:)
thanks for all information
My pleasure Ana! So glad you enjoyed and I hope you are having a good night!
Thanks for the info on Lash serums.I use GrandeLash serum which has a natural prostaglandin as revitalash. My lashes became so long I had to trim them and dial back the amount of applications to a couple days a week. lol 😂
Love this channel, you're an amazing resource! Any opinions on vitamin E oil? I saw someone using it in place of an eye cream and targeting their lashes too. Should I try it or is there something better? (otc) also saw someone pop biotin softgels and apply that, but I'm already taking it by mouth.
Thanks! No evidence for putting vitamin E on the skin helping eye lashes. Applying biotin is unlikely to work either, and if anything this can cause irritation that would contribute to lash breakage.
Thanks for the reply, that's good to know. Recommendations for the eye area? I'm 24 but I'd like to start wrinkle prevention and improve my lashes too if I can :)
Ty dr dray for all of your "tips"! At what age should a young woman begin rertin-a to help combat skin aging signs?My daughter is 23 - currently with beautiful poreless looking skin.i told her your everyday -always sunscreen advice.
c moore my pleasure and thanks so much for your sweet comments! So happy to hear daughter is sunscreening!! No established "best" age for starting a retinoid for wrinkles.
I know this is an older video but Just want to say I've had amazing results with revitalash my eyelashes went from short and stubby under my hooded eyes and have grown I would say 1/4 to 1/2 inch and are very noticeable. I actually just need clear mascara now because I want a very natural look and now my eyes look bigger . I've stayed away from Latisse because I heard it changes eye color and I don't want to loose my blues
Thanks for sharing. We don't have any data on revitalash to say that it can't change eye color too
Dr dray I have a really bad candida outbreak all over my chest and underarms what can I do to treat it
What are your thoughts on toners? I have heard people say they are necessary to balance the pH of your skin before applying treatments.
Also, what are your thoughts on sulfur for treating acne? One of the current most popular masks at Sephora right now is the Peter Thomas Roth Sulfur Masque.
Brooke K toners are useless; the "ph balance" claim is nonsense
Love your videos!! ;)
Thanks so much!
Curious about your thoughts on Hydrolyzed collagen peptides powder as a supplement for anti aging routines.....
Heather Hendricks no evidence for this, and most likely a huge waste of $
Hey Dr Dray! What are your thoughts on Curology?
wondering how you feel about oral and topical use of arnica for preventing and shortening duration of bruising. Thanks!
Mrsrae anecdotally this helps
learnt so much !
sze wai chor glAd to hear! Hope you are having a great week 😊
Hello Dr Dray. Is it true that tretinoin cream is comedogenic and not good for treating acne because of ingredient such as isopropyl mistrate and the gel formulation is better? Thank you!
no
I found your channel last week & i LOVE it! I drink alot of water. I work in a hospital so its a really dry environment so i constantly feel dehydrated even though i drink like 3 liters of water a day. Do you think theres a difference in drinking cold rather room temp water?
allison denmark thanks! No water temperatures for drinking make no difference. It is a myth that drinking more water is "essential for dry skin."
Dr Dray
Thanks for the tip. I've started to implement using abandoned conditioners I have for shaving and putting lotion on while still wet and air drying. I'm a fan.
Hi Dr Dray,
Could you do a video on how often should you use the major actives (e.g. Vitamine C, Niacinamide, Retinol) in order to have effectiveness out of them? I mean, I heard somewhere that some actives stay inside the skin for several hours, even more than a day, so in that case, it would make sense to use it every other day.
Thank you very much.
none of this is actually established because these are cosmetic, non-drugs
Dr Dray thank you for your answer :)
Hi Dr. Dray! You say here that dimethicone when combined with petrolatum can be pore clogging. The CeraVe cream in the tub contains both - should that not be used on the face? Thank you!
it can be occlusive in an ointment....cerave cream is not an ointment..the vehicle is what matters, not the ingredients alone
Dr Dray so is this a good option for your face?
hi dr dray I have a question my son has really bad eczema.. I want to know if this product fix skin is really good for that. thank you for ur time.
jose luis best to see a dermatologist.
Hi again. how to get rid of huge blackhead hole? it's huge. thank you. also is it best to layer products on skin from same line or can you mixed them?
As I continue to emphasize...the few products you use on the face the better off you are. Avoid putting to many irritating things on, as this worsens enlarged pores. Check out my "tips for pores" videos, as I discuss more there.
I find dimethicone especially on my scalp gives me acne. I stay far from it.
Hi dr. Dray! What can you say about dmdm hydantoin? I think it's worsening my acne. Im using celeteque hydration moisturizer a brand from the Philippines and it contains dimethicone and dmdm hydantoin. I don't which ingredient exacerbate my acne.
that is a preservative and people can be allergic to it
Dr Dray what about steareth -2 , c12-15 , treithanolamine and peg 100 stearate?
Hi doctor great review.. what is your opinion on creams containing liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate ? Is it safe for kids? Wil it cause acne in the future ? As I heard it is oils and not so good on skin .. please reply .. Thanks
fine
ewg gives different safety scores depending on the paraben, so I wonder if the ones with red scores are also safe when applied to intact skin or should those be avoided?
the EWG criteria is vague and not disclosed, but they seem to favor products from companies that contribute financially to the EWG campaign, so conflict of interest
Really love your Videos and i am very thankful for it. But in two Points i have to disagree with you. Vitamin C Serums really work on the Skin and Revitalash is a miracle. Since i use it many People ask me which Mascara i use, because my lashes are really Long now. It Needs a Little time and you have to use it constantly, but it works. And my german eye doctor says ist safe to use. Sending love and peace from Germany. Bye
My sons hemangioma went away with propranolol. It was the size of a tennis ball!
Do you know of a moisturizer with soy that does not contain niacinamide? I tried the Aveeno night cream and my face got bright red. I assume it's the niacin. Thanks!
not off the top of my head no
Can anyone explain to me how the Friday Q&A works? I want to know how to send in questions and such. I'm a new subscriber.
i do topic focused Q&As that come from comments in my videos....i get alot of questions regarding specific dermatologic conditions and so i compile them in to one topic-focused q&A.
What do you think of the Hydrafacial? I got it on my back and was great! I have nit used it on my face yet since I wear spf all the time haha :-)
gimmicky
Have you ever addressed Dr.Dennis Gross skin care line? If they are effective?
no more magical than any other skin care line....pretty expensive
Sadly, I broke out from his signature products (and others and ended up back in his office shortly after) - even the gentle alpha beta peel pads have fragrance and many essential oils. I am so surprised. He is supposed to be an extremely smart doctor.
The Cerave moisturizing cream has both dimethicone and petrolatum in it, does that mean its potentially pore clogging?
no
What do you think of snail mucin products that are so popular in Korean skincare?
Nothing more than humectants. Don't know if they are more hygroscopic than hyaluronic acids and things in standard moisturizers.
Omg i feel like they're actually off-putting somehow 😂 IT Cosmetics CC Cream surprisingly has it as 2nd in their ingredients list
I started to use one and it made my post acne redness so much better!
I'm not sure where to ask this question, but I'm hoping you can address growth factor serums. Are they a gimmick, or should I look to add one to my skin care? I'm 52. Thank you!
i have a video mentioning what an epic gimmick growth factors are
Hello is skincare with Dimethicone safe for pregnancy?
I used to have an Avar cleanser prescription but now that I'm not on my parents insurance, I can't afford it. Is there something similar from the drug store? I've been trying different products for a few months now but my acne hasn't let up :(
avar is sulfur & sodium sulfacetamide and is great, but sodium sulfacetamide is not otc; you can get topical sulfur, and a good produt is prosacea gel, however, it is not as robust as the combination sulfur-sodium sulfacetamide in avar
Omg.... your comment about dry brushing!!!! Hahahahaha
that trend needs to (if not already) die
Do you have any suggestions for post menopausal, cystic-like acne? Thank you for your expertise!
PrairieMakeup thanks you for your sweet comment. Best to see a dermatologist for this type of thing
Dr Dray I thought that might be the answer. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Thanks for answering my question about coffee!! I asked because I always have two cups a day and I don't want to quit it. I am no quitter!! Lol! PS I use the DHC cleansing oil (olive oil based) and do the oil cleansing method. What do you think of the oil cleansing method?
Today in the vlog I mention a little tip for cutting back on coffee (though two cups is not much girl...don't you quit that). Cleansing oil makes sense to me actually. I have mentioned this before, but it seems like a better way to take off makeup then soap...less harsh. I don't wear much makeup or use an oil though. Hope you are having a great night!
Lol decompose ! I love your videos
teehee
You make me want to become a dermatologist 😊😊😊 lol
do it!
Your eye lashes are so long and awesome. Do you use Latisse? If so, what is it like to use?
thanks, no
"I use the bonzol peroxide to treat my acne"
Me: ummmm what acne? I don't even see a freckle xD
She uses a proactive approach
dimethicone 02:37
Hey dr dray! Is dimethicone bad for hair? I’ve heard that it can clog follicles.
no
Dr Dray thanks for clearing up my confusion! Greatly appreciate it ☺️
How would you get rid of a skin tag that is in your eyelash line?
discuss with your treating physician, but they can be removed by a health care provider ( i caution you not to attempt to do it yourself)
Yeah, I have tried to remove it myself but it is obviously in a sensitive place and I haven't found anything OTC that would work so I do need to see my doctor about it.
What is the best way to get rid of skin tags, my whole family has them and as I get older, 56, I am accumulating more:(
see a dermatologist...do not try and remove them yourself
How do you get your hair so thick and shiny?
Kathryn Stewart aww thanks girl, you are too sweet!
Hi, Dr. Dray. I am wondering if dimethicone influence losing hair by using shampoo and conditioner which contains dimethicone. I lost a lot of hair, not sure if it is shampoo or if it is I am heading to premenopausal.....
no it does not at all
