I feel like no one knew about hypochlorous until Dr. Dray started talking about it a year ago! But it's so helpful!
@@luisalejandropenagarcia9601 I’m a Dr. Dray Stan tho! 😉 And Doctorly is great too!
Lol this is a myth. I never unfollowed Dr Dray on any platform. Not sure where this rumor started but I’ve always been supportive of Dr Dray and Susan Yara
Yeah, I heard of this and BPO from her too. She really is an OG.
I love Dr Dray and her no-nonsense approach to skincare products. And sorry but not a fan of Susan or her brand.. 😬
I went to school with Yara. She has really bad attitude. Her online personality is an act
I remember finding this channel when it was much smaller over a year ago during the Christmas break. Unimaginable growth and all deserved!
Ah omg that’s basically when we first started! Thank you for coming along this journey with us - shah
Same here
@@Doctorly Damn what?! 1.2 million followers? Awesome!! I‘m here since 10k followers 🤓👏🏼
@@Doctorly retinol, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, pimple patches, sunscreen. You doctors changed my facial appearance!!! Can’t wait till I’m a doctor and can influence people positively like this :)
@@Doctorly good morning my 2 favourite dermatologist, please can I use both differin adapalene and neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream together in my night routine? Like I mean, I cleanse my face with my gentle cleanser, then follow up with my adapalene and then lastly my neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream? Is it okay like this?
Any chance you will talk about laser hair removal? Specifically even at home IPL devices? Having a hard time finding good information and I value your insight so much. Following your page / tips has been the only thing that’s tremendously improved my skin in YEARS. Thank you so much for spending the time sharing what you do!
Thank you for taking the time to educate us all!! My skin looks amazing thanks to you!! ❤️
Hi I discovered this way back at the beginning of the pandemic. I have eczema and the alcohol gels were a nightmare for my hands - the skin was literally aflame and so painful. I researched alternatives as a hand sanitiser and this was game changing for me. I've used it consistently since. My hands are back to normal and despite washing them often aren't nearly as sore or inflamed. I was a Registered nurse for many years until disability so my hands have always been washed a lot, but not using alcohol gels has been incredibly beneficial. I still have to slather creams on them overnight and use moisturiser during the day, but they were so painful with the alcohol gels and that is no longer an issue. I think it's very under rated and was surprised it isn't used more than it is. Best wishes.
I've heard of this ingredient but really didn't know what it was for or how to use it. Thanks for all the info!
I wish someone would look at me the way Dr. Maxfield looks at Dr. Shah
Had no clue about the antioxidant part. So glad I know now!
The “hand throw” to introduce the video topic that you both do in almost every video has me WEAK but I love it! And actually look for/wait for it😄…… Along with the awesome and very relevant content of course!😁
Hello doctors!! I would like to see you try more Korean/Japanese skincare. Although they aren't very focused on actives like retinoids, I would like to see your thoughts and recommendations in that category. 💕💕
Thank you for the product recommendations!! The products marketed for the eyes specifically are like $30 for less than an ounce 🙄
Had NO idea this was available OTC to anyone. Thought it was only recently being used in medical wound care. You guys rock! Thank you!
I love the animated graphics!!
I'm a huge fan of hypochlorous acid, I apply it on my underarm to prevent odor when I'm going outside and as a disinfectant, to my hands, because it has ph 5.5. And it's completely safe.
I’ve just subscribed to y’all’s channel and have binged like 10 videos. Can I just say, I’m totally in love with y’all. Like omg.
This has already been helpful for a patch of eczema on my ear lobe. I am hoping it will be effective during allergy season when I often get a staph infection around my nostril from the constant wiping with Kleenex.
It’s also being used a lot for Ocular rosacea.
Tower 28 SOS spray is what I have been loving for my skin when wearing masks. It also contains HOCL
Holy cow, I only heard about HA after I purchased a wound rinse for my nostril piercing. I was looking for a rinse that was safe to use around the eyes, nose, and mouth. After my sea salt soak and saline rinse, I spray this on as a final defense against infection. I am so glad I came across this solution! I learned so much about the skin! How amazing!
I'm an optometrist and I recommend hypochlorous acid daily to my patients with blepharitis, meibomitis, and styes. Great to know it helps with patients with eczema too, since of lot of patients get flare ups on their lids.
Does it matter if you buy the product (larger bottle, less expensive) that's marketed for the face or if you buy the smaller more expensive bottles that are marketed for the eyes? I'd like to use it for my eyes.
Thanks!
Same.
@@ldavis4428 no it doesn’t. But obviously if you are getting a reaction, d/c use.
@@ldavis4428 I, personally, have found the larger bottles, marketed for cleaning and such, to be very drying and harsh on the skin, particularly the gallon bottles. They have a strong concentration of chlorine (200-500ppm) and are also a very high pH (like bleach or baking soda.) Not sure if the dryness is caused by the chlorine or the pH, or both??? I found a version marketed as mouthwash by Briotech that is a better deal than the smaller bottles for skin. It has a lower (100ppm) chlorine concentration. It worked well for my new piercings.
For stye, do you dab it on there?
Thank you for telling us that it doesn’t work with vitamin C, had no idea and will not mix. I use the tower 21 SOS spray and love it, but will have to try these because the price is much better.
Can you record a video specifically for young men. My son is 26 and lives in cold climate. He refuses all skin care! Tried to get him to use tretonin just to prevent genetic predisposition to skin cancer. An easy prevention routine would be great to forward to him! PS, he does go for a full body check yearly when remembers!
Another great educational video - class is in for 2022! I feel hopeful - my daughter's adult acne is out of control. I will immediately mention this! Thank You!
She’s probably got skin mites
Thanks for the info. I don't watch any other derms on YT so it's a new product to me. Will check it out. Also you guys look tired, don't work too hard. You guys are the most hardworking UA-camrs out there, so if you need a break your loyal subscribers will always be here waiting! Much love and best wishes for 2022!
Thank you so much for always supporting us :) - shah
@@Doctorly Most welcome Dr.Shah, and thank you for the great info and videos!
As someone who's had multiple skin infections over the past year and ezcema I'm definitely giving this a try. Thank you for doing a video on this.
Update us
any updates?
Well??!
Did you try it ?
Can we have a Q&A on introducing acids to your skin care routine especially if you’re new at it
I just wanted to share another use for hypochlorous acid from personal experience. My mother developed shingles on her eye and face last year. She was in severe pain from it. I happened to have this product on hand and I knew it was safe for the eye area, so I had her try it. It offered a decent amount of relief for her! Afterwards, I researched the product and it’s use for shingles, and sure enough, it is recommended for that! I was so glad I had some and thought to have her try it.
How Is your mom today? 😮
But where the eye cream video at... 🤔 lol thanks for all the amazing videos! This channel is everything 👏
Doctorly always to the rescue when needed!!
can we use this product with topicals faded cream?
omg i’ve been using this forever and definitely have noticed it helps my acne, and allll during the pandemic i sprayed this in my mask and rare got maskne … or covid! *knocks on wood* good to know my hunch was right about this stuff! my friends like it too! we all call it “the pool water” haha ~ good to know about it working against vitamin c and antioxidants! thanks for all the info!
Tower 28 (a beauty/skincare brand) has a great serum version now of hypochlorous acid that has really helped my acne. Also, been using 10% azaleic acid from Paula's Choice. Been a long road w/this acne (and yes, I'm seeing a Derm), but these 2 products I found on my own. Also, love Dr Dray and her "no-nonsense" skin care advice. I have a giant tub of Cerave that I use at night that helps w/the dry skin because of Tretinoin.
I randomly bought a “skin and surface sanitizing spray” today and it turned out to be hypochlorous acid. Never heard of it before. Seems very useful!
I love it! Does not sting even on wounds and safe to clean eyes ears ANYTHING
Instead of picking try SPRAYING!
Like always so appreciate your efforts in educating us.
Thanks for such an informative and educational video 😀 I hadn't heard of Hypochlorous acid before and will try it for my eczema. Could you make a video on when/what age to start Profhilo and if it's good to do Profhilo while you have skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, eczema etc, or for people with acne as that seems to be common in the population. And can you mix that with injectables.
I actually started a company that patented the HOCL and it's shelf life even when opened is stable 24 months and we have an RX line. I would love to send you some samples if open to compare. I was doing research on the skincare part and ran across your video 💕 I love educating everyone on benefits of products and will be sharing with !y team.
I would LOVE some samples. I have been having some crazy skin and eyelid issues and have extremely limited funds at the moment. This would be a godsend. I can't see a derm until the end of March and same with ophthalmologist. I would love to promote you to family and friends in return for your generosity. If you have a company e-mail or something, I would be forever grateful to pass along my contact information.
Can y’all please review the new elf pure skin line! Love your channel and recommendations 💙
Thank you for the informative video as always!
Can you apply it throughout the day on top of sunscreen (if you’re wearing a mask at work for example)?
I've been watching you for quite a while now and love your content. Could please do a post or just tell me what you think about older products that use electric like the dermawand and handheld products that have different colored lights in them. Devices that cost cost around $200 each that a lot of us older women ended up buying a few years back.
Should do a video on best tinted sunscreens which hides blemishes and doesn’t clog pores
I've been using this for over a year & I use it after exercise & a few times during the day since i have to wear a mask all day for work.
This Nurse gives a big thumbs up 👍 for this video!!! Very well done!! They now sell small glass size usb hypochlorous acid maker for @ $14… great for plants & gardens, cleaning tubers prior to storage, basic disinfectant. A bottle for the face and hands is a must!
Adding some to checkout now!! I'm a nursing student and proud pet mom to dogs and a cat. I don't see why this isn't a bigger and more hyped product but I can see how amazing this can be!!
because it's a threat to big pharma.
I love hypochlorous acid and use it in multiple ways. I use it on my husband to help him heal after having some suspicious moles removed. I also spray it directly on my *closed* eyes especially during allergy season when I tend to tear up a lot and my eyes sometimes become crusty. I also have a gallon jug of it in a higher percentage to clean my home with. I use it by first spraying down my quartz countertops and wiping them down then I spray it again and allow it to air dry. The continuous spray bottles are great for this. I no longer have to use chemicals to sanitize my home and that makes me very happy. Both products and the spray bottles are on Amazon.
Hi, i do have a gallon of hypochlorus acid, what's the ratio to dilute with a spray bottle?
Hello my favorite colleagues on UA-cam😊 Honestly you make me wanna change my specialty sometimes😁. Could you do a topic on safe products during pregnancy and breastfeeding . Thank you! You guys rock. Where were you in my teens?
Hi, Hope you both are doing great, you doing awesome UA-camrs guys, And really honest too..guys you both are taking care of us lot. And also I am honestly telling, we are trusting you due to you both are thinking in our end... Really superb thoughts... You doing so many hardworking.i have no words, explain about your hard working. Hard work never fails..finally I am Happy to see the best doctors...
Always excellent info!
This was so interesting, thank you! Is this something that would be useful in the treatment of Hidradenitis suppurativa?
THanks for this. These last a long time. What would you say the shelf life for an open bottle?
I've been using this since June of last year and it has helped with inflammation and my acne. Thinking back, I didn't break out as much when I used it regularly. I recommend the Briotech Topical Skin Spray. They even have refills so that's convenient and it's affordable too so definitely worth a try!
I bought it in the UK from Superdrug in the baby care department for £1.99!!!! I sprayed it on to a new ear piercing and it's fabulous keeping it clean. I use it all the time instead of normal hand sanitizer and it feels just like water. No irritation, no smell, just fresh clean hands. I absolutely love it! Thank you Drs, for your awesome recommendation. The brand is called Vital Baby
🤓. I learned so much. This information is extremely helpful for those people with acne and other skin issues. It kills COVID!?! Genius 🤓Thanks docs.
Can you do a review on Blume next??? Not sure if this was done already but I rarely see reviews about Blume around.
Really helpful video!! How many hours should I wait until I spray it after using vitamin C? Or can I spray this before applying vitamin C serum in the morning?
Hey guys, can you discuss hyperpigmentation products that you can recommend? Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Azelaic, Arbutin. Thanks
Thanks Dr Shah and Dr Maxfield, I use HOCl spray for my underarms plus Panoxyl for washing to get rid of bacteria and to deal with hyperpigmentation. I haven’t worn deodorant or antiperspirant anymore for months now. I still get a bit stinky on the pits sometimes but that’s because it’s time for me to shower haha, but for the most part I don’t have bad body odor anymore!
I use glycolic acid for my pits and I'm currently trying out salicylic acid as a gentler alternative. Will definitely try this one too. Thanks for the tip 😊
I just put a squirt of hand sanitizer on my arm pits about 5 minutes before I bathe. That kills enough bacteria that odor is rarely a problem.
Like your hypochlorous acid use there too. But I smear a little milk of magnesia on my pits after bathing, and that usually works very well.
@@gracie979797 Hey, hand sanitizer is toxic. I wouldnt use that under the arms because of our very important sweat glands. We don't want to impair them because they help detox our brain. Addiru, the alcohol isn't good for the skin and you may impair the skin barrier over time which will cause problems later on.
panoxyl and hypochlorous acid don't help with sweating though, you should still use an antitranspirant for that and to moisturize your armpits
Liked as soon as Dr. Maxwell got Dr. Shah to spray his face. Y’all are too funny! Thank you for the knowledge and the laughter
Both doctors are super sweet bless.
You guys crack me up. Very relatable and fun.
I use Hypochlorous acid for my eyelids and eyelashes. Helps with my dry eye issues. 👍🏼 I did not know I could use it on eczema. I will be giving it a try. Thank you
any updates? :)
How do you apply it to your eyelids and eyelashes and thank you for sharing that because I have dry eye.
Elena Cortez has it helped ?
Helping with my brown spots. Yippie!!
Y’all are behind the 8 ball on this one. Dr Dray has been talking about it for a long time.
Can you make a video on skincare products just for dry skin? I feel like everyone talks about acne-prone skin or oily skin but not enough for dry skin.
So should you not use the tower 28 sos spray as a toner/facial spray in the morning as the first step in a skincare routine before using niacinamide?
Great videos! Have you every done a video about cosmetic acupuncture? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Can you please do a video for scalp acne and dandruff? Thank you ❤
Could you please do a video on treatments for dark upper lip? Thanks in advance :)
Thank you so much for this! I couldn't remember why I had the skin active product lol 😆 Can it be used on the armpits?
Could you looking into the brand good molecule’s and let us know if some of the items are good for your skin like their squalene oil, eye creams including the eye masks etc.!
I have been using the one by skin better and like it. For an easy to find option, Walgreen’s makes one!
Hello Doctors,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'd like to incorporate hypochlorous acid in morning routine. My morning routine is, in the following order, (1) salicylic acid 2% face wash + (2) benzoyl peroxide 2% + (3) moisturizer + (4) sunscreen. At which point of my morning routine can I use hypochlorous acid?
Regards,
I would LOVE to hear your opinion on my usual products - Cleans: Cetaphil gental face cleanser Treat: RoC Retinol Correxion and Protect: Sebamed Sensitive skin Moisturizing cream (this is my night routine in day no "treat" step and add a sun screen) I am 23 and had deep acne scars which are still present but better since starting retinol and hyper pigmentation which is newer. My hyper pigmentation started right around when my acne started subsiding I'm my 20s.
Very useful and informative video! However, I was wondering if there are any studies regarding its effect on healthy microbiome. It's mentioned that it basically kills the bad bacteria, but what about the good one? And how strong the caused oxidative stress on the skin, is it less than from BP?
Please do a video on undereye puffiness/bags
Will it kill norovirus? I've read that it does...I bought the product called Purerox disinfectant spray. By the way I've never watched your channel until today, and I had to sit down and have a seat at my table and look at both of y'all. Both of you are just ' drop dead gorgeous men!!!!❤
Happy to find this video...the serum i used and sold as my side income has this hypochorous acid. Tq doctors for the knowledge.
i just bought a spray of this in the first aid section at walgreens. very affordable too
Yay you guys are the best. Love all your tips and recommendations. Please do a video on medical grade skincare and growth factors in skincare?! Love you guys
Please please please do a video on transverse nasal crease caused by allergies, and how to treat it
Can you please talk about oral glutathione and tranexamic acid. I am middle eastern and I have hyperpigmentation on multiple areas of my body (PIH after mosquito bites, childhood scars...etc) and I was wondering how effective oral medications can be for treating that.
Thank you for the information!!
Please, please discuss lasers or in office treatments for melasma and hyperpigmentation?
And how it affects tan skin types, please. Thanks!
I was using the same one Dr. Maxfield mentioned after my second C-section. I lost a lot of weight between kids and in combination with two pregnancies and two C-sections, I have the (extremely embarrassing) belly hang. I was having issues with the skin under it, so that product really helped a lot with irritation and after a long summer day, a slight smell (though my husband thought I was being paranoid about it).
I’m sorry! I’m glad I’m not the only one thought, it is embarrassing.. But our body’s are amazing!!
embarrassing?!? since when sacrificing your life to bring a life on the earth became embarrassing?!?!
@@ff-ti7nj sacrificing our bodies for these little angels is not embarrassing.. But if you have a hanging belly pouch you/I can’t help but feel embarrass when you/I put on a bathing suit or when intimate with the husband. We’re only humans, even thought we know our body’s did an amazing thing we still have feelings. It does help that hubby doesn’t care and tells me I’m beautiful.
Thank you for the tip I have the same issue.
@@ff-ti7nj I'm surprised by your lack of empathy
please do a video on neck skin laxity - love you guys super cute
Make a video on the best serums please
Can you guys start a series on skin care lines? Which ones are worth the money and hype and which ones are just expensive for no reason. I recently spent so much on perricone and would love your opinions on the line! Love your channel! 💕
How would I incorporate this into my routine while using vitamin c ?
Thanks for sharing. If we make it naturally how come it doesn’t inactivate the vitamin c serum we put in our face?
Hypochlorous Acid is amazing but it does have a short shelf life which wasn't mentioned in the video. It also has so many other uses.
Check out Pure&Clean! Their FDA products have a 24 month shelf life, even after opening the bottle. I use their products for everything.
Why is no one mentioning the fact that you can simply and cheaply make your own ! Lol, I have two bottles from THANE H20, they call it S WATER, but its their word for (HOCI).
You full with tap water add salt plug in and press the button and you watch the element thingy makes this smokey/Misty look that vanishes , done after 10 mins then when you open the bottle you smell the Clorine smell !.
If it works by creating oxidative stress to kill pathogens, can it also contribute to premature aging?
Hello doctors. Can you please create a video on body skincare (not face) like retinol body lotions etc.
On you next discussion on skin care can you evaluate Meaningful Beauty (Cindy Crawford’s line)? There’s always a commercial on. Thanks
I watched almost all of your videos. Can you recommend the best sunscreen that don’t have white cast, non greasy and non comedogenic????
Hii
Please do video on charcoal in skincare, is it really worth it
Woo!!! Let’s go!!!!
I love hypochlorus acid. I have been using it in the middle and after my workouts because I breakout in a rash if I have sweat sit on my underarms, face, and even my behind 🤭
Honestly I feel like I just stumbled on this solution, and bought it for my kids to control their maskne. But wow l, when my rosacea suddenly toned down, this was the only change I could point to. Started applying to my eyes (not contacts), and red eyes are now under control.
Now I am gifting this product to everyone I know.
How do you apply it so it helps with red eyes? Do you spray it directly into your eyes?
@@dawalrus some hypochlorous acid eye sprays have instructions saying spray a cotton round and swab eyes. But I do spray it directly right in my eyes. I don't see it as any different than applying eye drops.
@@debmurray2734 Do you think this would help chronic dry inflamed skin I have such a weird texture it’s happened all of a sudden since I’ve been wearing the mask and I also suffer from dry eyes like leaking eyes fogging eyes scratchy feeling leaking constant it’s been happening for like 30 days straight and I don’t know what to do
@@lisagardner4814 can't hurt to try it on your eyes. To be honest, I haven't tried to use it for dry inflamed skin so I can't even speculate. I am no specialist - just an observant consumer. I don't think it can hurt to try it on your skin - patch test to make sure you don't make things worse.
Would this be helpful for irritated face and damaged skin barrier ?
About what said regarding deactivating antioxidants; can this substance create the oxidative stress we are trying to avoid? Does it deactivate the protection of sunscreens?
I was wondering if you could do a review on the good molecules line please
Thank you so much for this video!
I haven’t heard of the ingredient before but will definitely be purchasing.
I have eczema and psoriasis and get peri oral dermatitis flare ups sometimes.
Because of this I often have broken skin and bacteria can get in.
I’ve had a staf infection before and it was terrible so will be trying this.
Hopefully I can find something in Australia some of the products you show I can’t find.
Have you tried this did it work
@@lisagardner4814 I have bought it and have applied it a few times ☺️
I haven’t had any infections to know if it works or not but I think it’s worth having in my bathroom cabinet.
