I don't know mush about anti aging or skincare ingredients but I agree sunscreen is so important! I got my worst sunburn surfing on a showery and cloudy day one day, haha! So I always wear sunscreen! I have that Ordinary hyaluronic acid serum and I think it's great - I feel and see a difference when I use it and so I'm pleased to see that on your list.
I think even without knowing much about anti aging ingredients you can already do a lot if you are sensible with your spf. And with that down and Hyaluronic Acid already in your routine, you are exactly where you need to be, you are still young. Maybe add an antioxidant, but I bet one of your products already has one included, so you should be all set.
Such a useful video Anne. Like Dagmara it didn't occur to me to think of sunscreen when you asked the question on Instagram, but you're so right about its importance. x
That is why I keep going on and on about it. Just yesterday I talked to someone that told me they "felt as if sunscreen was a little overhyped" and that they´d "burn first and then get a nice lasting tan"... *sigh*
Pheeew, I’m using every single one of these! Peptide-wise my latest discovery is The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides. It’s more expensive than regular Buffet, but I like it even better. I don’t know if it’s all in my head, but I think copper peptides help my skin recuperate faster after blemishes.
There is interesting research regarding the addition of copper peptides in boosting the efficacy. I have yet to try this version, but I definitely will soon.
Peptides. Why the hmmm afte retinoids? Depending on your age with Sunscreen and Vit. C you are doing great already. And Hylauronic Acid is most likely already in your products (sunscreen/ moisturizer or even Vitamin C Serum).
I love your educational videos. Thank you for your time. I would like to try the Pixy Vitamin C but I am afraid that it has perfume or oils or citrics.... that I should be aware of?
Sunscreen! Of course! I don't know why I haven't thought about it when commenting on your Instagram :) Probably because I thought about single ingredients :) x
No one on Instagram had sunscreen, I think people don´t see it as "ingredient" for anti-aging. And technically that´s right, it isn´t an ingredient per se, but I still wanted to mention it as it is so important! I would have picked acids and Niacinamide too, if I had allowed myself more than 5.
Dear Doctor Anne, While I agree that Hyaluronic Acid is a great humectant, there is nothing that it can do that Glycerin can't. So even if my moisturizer does not contain HA, as long as it contains Glycerin, I am fine with it.
Das kommt auf die persönlichen Vorlieben im Finish an. Mein Favorit ist der von Beauty of Joseon (Review hier: ua-cam.com/video/JaOQ0nMrxPc/v-deo.html ), sehr beliebt sind aber auch der Canmake Sonnenschutz (Review hier: ua-cam.com/video/vpPn_LmQxO8/v-deo.html )
The products on my list are Tretinoin which I started about 8 month as ago at the age of 39, Vitamin C serum in the mornings, peptides on the nights I’m not using Tretinoin as I use Tretinoin every other night, niacinamide every day, spf every day regardless wether I’m inside or outside and moisturizer which I wouldn’t be able to live without. I am just having a hard time figuring out why do my products peal even though I have tried over 20 different spf’s and moisturizers and still can’t figure it out. Please help.
Make sure to give each layer time to fully absorb and see if you have many silicones in your serum, moisturizer or your SPF, that can encourage pilling.
I really appreciate your tips about moisturizer ❤️ you saved my life I want to ask you something I really need an answer for it I’m doing tretnoin 0.025% diluted with moisturizer every other night and the results are amazing 😉 But I found Retinol Cream with Hexinol and vitamin C , is it gonna be helpful to use it on the off nights? This is the cream name NEUTROGENA® Cellular Boost Anti-Ageing Night Cream Thanks in advance 💕 I’m 22 with bad hyperpigmentations after acne and have allergic reaction from Hydroquinon and alpha arbutin
While I don´t think it would hurt, I would suggest investing in a Vitamin C serum instead. The added retinol in the cream won´t bring much benefit opposed to Tretinoin and the serum has most likely more Vitamin C than the cream
Doctor Anne thanks doctor 🤍🤍 I have vitamin c Serum already that I’m using a little bit in the morning and sometimes on the off nights👌🏻 I do really appreciate it thanks 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Doctor, what about ceremides? Are oils, linoleic acids like squalane a source of ceramides? Are ceramides just a fancy word for oils with good/suitable fatty acids?
Ceramides are different specific structures, so they are more than a fancy word, but oils are needed for their production. I will do a dedicated video on them eventually.
Could you compare the potency of OTC adapalene with granactive retinol2%? If I switch from OTC adapalene to granactive retinol 2% would it be more sensitising? Also is the latter is better?
@@DoctorAnne thankyou so much doctor! ❤️ Now it makes sense. Cz using adapalene everyday gave me quite brutal sensitivity. That I had to reach out fr desonide. Hence I use it on alternate days. N it's quite okay that way. It has cured my acne completely. But now I use it just fr comedones n uneven texture.
@@ReethuVincy22444422 It is very potent indeed, I remember when I first used it it took some time to be able to use it without flaking and sensitivity.
Hello Dr anne, I was wondering if you exfoliate at all ? And if so how often do you exfoliate ? how often do you reccomend we exfoliate per week?.....I use Paulas Choice 2% salicylic acid,I soak a cotton pad and swipe it over my face every morning...Paula mentions that her exfoliants are so gentle that we can use them morning and night, I don't as I use retinol at night....Im afraid if i dont use it every morning that my blackheads and breakouts will not be managed...any feedback would be helpful...my skin type is sensitive combination.....thankyou,katie
Hi Katie, which retinoid do you use? Using a retinol daily and the a salicylic acid daily as well sounds a lot too me, as retinoids do have an exfoliating effect on their own. 2% Salicylic Acid is the maximum concentration that is allowed to be sold OTC, so I wouldn’t call a 2% BHA product gentle, at least not in terms of exfoliation strength. The PC products contain a lot of soothing and hydrating ingredients to take the sting off, but that doesn’t reduce the potency. I use my salicylic acid once a week and personally don’t think more than twice a week is necessary, too much can irritate your skin and be the cause of your breakouts. Have you watched my video on a Damaged Skin Barrier? I explain in there why. Bottom line is: If your skin is fine with your current regimen, I wouldn’t change it, as it apparently works for you. But if you feel like your skin is irritated, you get dry patches or similar, I would reduce the Salicylic Acid frequency. If I know which retinoid you are using, I can tell you a little more.
@@DoctorAnne thankyou for getting back to me I really appreciate your knowledge..Well my skin is quiet irritated,red, and sometimes itchy,its a mess really..I have started a skin barrier repair routine(this is my first day)thanks to your video,and I hope to get my skin back into shape..(then i will start exfoliating once a week and applying retinol as often as you reccomend).I'm not using any exfoliants or retinol for 1 month,will that be plenty of time to heal my barrier ? I used perscription retin a (retrieve 0.5%) up until about a month ago,but decided after 5 years of use every night it may have been compromising my barrier as well as exfoliating too frequently because i developed overly sensitive skin with rashes occasionally so i decided to start using a lower strength product which is the Paulas choice 1% clinical retinol treatment..I am also dealing with food allergies which I'm working through with a dietitian at the moment which can cause a lot of burning,redness and hives,so it's pretty complex and I'm exhausted with it all..
That really sounds like a lot, poor you. A month should be enough, but your skin will tell you best. Did you exfoliate while you were using the prescription strength? Retin A is usually so potent it doesn’t require additional exfoliation. Have you seen a dermatologist recently? Or did you get your prescription from a GP?
@@DoctorAnne yes I did exfoliate while using retin a,during the day a few times a week..GP perscription..I found it helped with my oil production and breakouts..
Always with Salicylic Acid? Or did you try other acids as well, like PHAs or Azelaic or Mandelic? I´d recommend you see a dermatologist to get some help with your skin. UA-cam videos can only do so much, they can never take the place of someone actually seeing and touching your skin.
I'm confused about how Hyaluronic Acid can be considered an "anti-aging" ingredient ...it imparts temporary surface hydration. How is that "anti-aging?" I'm all for hydration but I think it's completely inaccurate to call Hyaluronic Acid an "anti-aging" ingredient. You didn't even explain how Hyaluronic Acid is anti-aging like you did with all of the other ingredients. I'm absolutely not convinced that Hyaluronic Acid is anti-aging in any way, shape or form. It hydrates the skin. Temporarily, while it's on the skin..that's it..
Hydration has a superficial immediate effect in plumping the skin, but it also improves theskins barrier function by plumping it, which in turn reduces TEWL and the risk of allergens penetrating the skin, so it reduces inflammation. Inflammation is the main driving point for premature aging, so... There was a study done last year that showed that applying a basic moisturizer, no extras, did reduce the Inflammation markers in the blood stream. Did that answer your question sufficiently?
@@DoctorAnne so Hyaluronic Acid has a transient, *cosmetic* plumping effect? And *any* moisturizer would function as an inflammation reducer, correct? It doesn't have to be Hyaluronic Acid? I'm just trying to understand..
@@e.a.4926 Hyaluronic has a transient cosmetic plumping effect AND a lasting effect because it helps with barrier function. And no, it doesn’t have to be Hyaluronic Acid, but a humectant. Glycerin would work as well. So it can be any humectant containing moisturizer.
@@DoctorAnne thank you. I hate Hyaluronic Acid because it's sticky. I'll stick with my other humectants. Thank you for confirming my suspicion that Hyaluronic Acid is not inherently, actively anti-aging
Which five ingredients would make it on your list?
I'll say sunscreen 5 times
Doctor Anne Sunscreen, 0.1% Tretinoin, Niacinamide and HA-rich moisturizers (I think I don’t need a fifth but I yet have to try peptides)

HOW to prevent sensitive skin condition. Suggest plz.
Have you watched this video here? ua-cam.com/video/p_y-8z_TncU/v-deo.html
Sunscreen ✅
Hyaluronic acid (need to get)
Vit C ✅
Retinoid (hmmm 🤔)
What was the other Ingredient? 🤔
Peptides. Why the hmmm afte retinoids? Depending on your age with Sunscreen and Vit. C you are doing great already. And Hylauronic Acid is most likely already in your products (sunscreen/ moisturizer or even Vitamin C Serum).
Which one is effective for acne. Tretinoin or Adapalene. Which one is safe to use for daily routine of skin care of acne. Suggest plz.
Both are effective for acne, and both can overtime be build up for daily use, but adapalene is less irritating.
What are the reasons for sensitive skin? Please reply 🙏
There are too many to put in a comment here, but usually a skin barrier that doesn't function well.
I love your educational videos. Thank you for your time. I would like to try the Pixy Vitamin C but I am afraid that it has perfume or oils or citrics.... that I should be aware of?
It has citrus essential oils and fragranced ingredients, so if you are sensitive to that, it is probably not the best for you.
Watching you from the US--trying to locate some of the products you recommend that I can purchase here. Thank you.
The best tip would be to shop by ingredients rather than brands, that way you will be able to get everything you need.
Thx so much
You are welcome. Do you use any of them?
Can we purchase Adapalene over the counter or in prescription. Reply please 🙏
That depends on where you live. In the US it is over the counter, in Germany it is prescription.
Does Cerave moisturizing cream works for acne prone skin. Reply please.
