Hi everyone!
Welcome to the Friday Q&A!
I hope you have all had a great week!
If you are new I hope you'll consider subscribing:)
I am traveling this weekend so I will answer your comments as much as possible, some areas are without cel service (can you imagine???). As always, leave me questions for next week!
Last! When reading the ingredients I pronounced some of them with an "ine" instead of an "een" sound. Editing it was killing me as I mispronounced some of those words, so bear with me! LOL

Love your channel! I´ve been microneedling and following all your suggestions. I´m sooo thankful!!!
Who knew about HA in a dry climate. I’m in DRY Arizona and I started using HA a couple weeks ago because of my already dry skin. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t helping. My skin and eyes are as dry as ever and then some! This video has been invaluable. Thank you!!
Love Friday's more and more and more 💖💖💖
Great video packed with really helpful information .... thanks Penny 😊🙏🏼
Thank you for replying!!! In one video you showed us how to microneedled perioral lines. But you do not go over the lips. What can be done about those perioral wrinkles that also travel into the lips and about the general loss of plumpness in lips after the venerand age of 50? Something other than fillers. More along the line of boosting tissue regeneration. If exist such a thing
I'm currently using the La Mieux EGF but I'm interested in the stem cell serum, sounds great but I'll wait for YOUR findings. ❤😊❤
Oh wow, I’m so glad I came across your video! I live in Colorado and this is the first I’ve heard about the issue with hyaluronic acid! Yikes!
I live in Chicago… I have dry skin. I own a home in Colorado. When I spend time there my skin gets so dry that I itch so bad. As beautiful as it is there I cannot live there for this reason. 😪
Thanks for this Penny! You look especially lovely today!
Wow another fantastic video Penny! Good to hear you talk about growth factors (I have 3 different brands & still not sure which I like best) & am curious if you have decided that adipose and mesenchymal conditioned media are equally safe and effective (based on the science) or if you are still looking into this? Looking forward to hearing your informed opinion! (as well as the dermatologist you work with)
Definitely going to do some research on results from medical needling under the eyes. Thin skin there and dark circles because of it seems like the one area where so little can be done.
Thank you for this video! Great information. I live in Vegas and have dry skin and love my Hyaluronic acid! Pairing it with Squalene is even better. ♥️🙏
Thank you, Penny. Very informative, great video. I have the sponges. I love using them. It says you can dry them and use again. I never have. Do you use them more than once? On the HGF, I use mine on damp skin. I like the feel of it more. Have a great weekend 💕
Hello gorgeous!! I thought of Kathy immediately when you answered the first question about hyaluronic acid. Enjoyed watching your video, and hearing your answers. Nice to know there is a potentially effective product that is less expensive. Many blessings, and love, Penny...MaryEllen
I live in Texas and I can't use the HA either because of this....no one ever believed me and then I found this video and proved my complaint😁
Arizona here and yes HA sucks it out, however a light amount overnight and sleeping with a humidifier on.
Hi Penny, I love all your videos and you are so informative. I’ve really learned so much from you! I have most of the lotions and potions you have recommended and I usually cocktail a lot on together! Is this OK or are they counteracting each other?? I use the B3 during the day and vit. C at night. You said not to use them at the same time. I use the vit A and retinol products at night! I really need to know if I’m doing everything OK or know what goes best with what!! Thanks ever so much! I’m 76 but still have pretty good skin, not many wrinkles but a lot of brown spots! Hugs Karen
I love your question & answer videos! I am nervous about microneedling but maybe one day I will give it a try. I noticed in your description box that you are wearing the Tom Ford stick foundation. Do you think this is a good foundation for dry skin? How are the ingredients and wear time?
Also wondered what your opinion is on CBD oil in skincare. Maybe this could be a question answered in a future q & a.
Thanks
I use it at night and a humidifier in my bedroom, along with applying to wet skin. I always wake up with dewy skin.
Thanks for the great tips!! You look lovely as usual!! Be blessed.
Ah! Thank you Sherie! 💜
Awwwww Thank you for the shout out sweet girl! I’m loving betaglucan and polyglutamic acid! Oh good to know about the numbing cream!! I wondered!!! Excited to hear what you think about the growth factor! 🥰 love you gorgeousness!!😘😘😘
Hi! I live in the desert. Can you tell me the name of those 2 products you use? Thank you!
Kathysbeautycare chats, Hi, I live in the desert. Can you tell me what products you use when microneedling & for moisture instead of HA? Thanks so much!
@@Misskitty15 I would also like to know!!
Hi Penny, I love hearing all the questions that you answer!
I was under the opinion that all products including growth factors and serums should be refrigerated. Recently, someone said that this is a no no. Her plastic surgeon opined that she was degrading the effectiveness of her expensive products. I always refrigerate my vitamin C but wondering which others should and should not be refrigerated? Thanks!
Great information as always!!! ❤️
You are such a wealth of information. You look radiant. ❤️
Soooo love your vids!!! Thank you!
Please could you explain what "granulomas" are, please. Could you maybe show some visuals as to identify it, please. Thank you so much 💓
Hello dear Penny, which of these two pen needles would you prefer or you like, the Dr.pen A6 or the x5? I already bought the uktima A7, but I want to buy another shich is cordless. Thanks much penny, you shared so much info about microneedling znd did cover the proper way and procedure of how to go about it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Really appreciated!!!😘😍😘😍
Penny! I love you and your vids! I would LOVE to know if I can microneedle with CDB HA and CDB peptide serum? Thank you, you’re so knowledgeable!!
I live in super dry Southern Idaho (high desert) and have been wondering the same thing about HA. I’ve been mostly skipping it during winter, but wasn’t sure if the info was correct... thank you for addressing this! How have I just found your channel? You’re videos are so darn helpful!! 💗
Actually you should try to put an occlusive moisturizer after to see if that helps to seal the HA. If you do that and its still dry it then you know. But many in the desert, dry places can use HA as long as they seal it with an occlusive
Hey Penn, I was wondering if maybe you could use the lip protocol for the wrinkles between the eyes? And also if you put vitamin c serum and the retinal serum around the eyes, If not is there anything I can put around the eyes? I know the skin is delicate and don;t want to further wrinkle them LOL. I always enjoy watching and learning from you. Thanks for being here for us all.
Hey Penny!! I am convinced that I need microneedling in my life Now...!! I was trying to hold out till Dec to order my Dr Pen, but i just couldn't take it any longer!!! It should be here by Wednesday!! Thank you for the information and building my confidence to do this for my skin....
Love your videos! So informative ☺️ wondering if I can use bradceuticals adipose and human stem cell growth factors serum on my scalp during/after microneedling with a pen? I read about a study that tested growth factor instead of PRP with needling and it produced similar positive results. Or if not bradceuticals, another appropriate growth factor for my hair after needling? Thank you 🙏🏻
It is not dry in Texas, it is dry in the part of Texas where Kathy lives. I live in the Dallas area and most of the time our humidity is extremely high, even in the winter.
I live in Texas as well and lord is it humid where I live! Moved from a dry climate to Central TX and it’s taken some getting used to. It’s been great for my skin though haha
Very helpful Penny, thank you!
For those of us that live in a super dry climate, is there alternative to hyralonic acid that you recommend to micro needle with for slip?
What would you suggest instead of HA when nano or micro needling since I too live in an arid climate? Thanks Penny.
Really curious as to how the bradcuticals growth serum was!? Was it any good?
After much consideration of your videos I bought the dr pen x5. I can’t tell if the extra needles are part of your affiliate program. Looks like just the a6 are. Please link them so that I can support your channel. Also do you use the nano to infuse color? I am looking to purchase the lightest. Would you link that too? I’ll be ordering the hylauranic too although I just bought the cosrx. Want your recommended choice for needling.
Thanks. ❤️
So informative. Thank you!
Hi penny ! Can I use vitamin c at night ??? And if yes can you please explain more about it and what brand is good thank you so much,,,, love ur channel
Would growth factors help or worsen rosacea? Great, informative video, thanks!
Thanks.
.ive been wondering why the HA leaves me dry
Thank you Penn, brilliant as always. I followed your neck micro-needling video recently and will repeat 1x month (fingers crossed!!) I wonder if you'd consider doing a video just about necks... what are the other things we should consider? Which devices/treatments are particularly good for this area? Have you tried any of the silicone patches (Sio), As for creams, in the UK we have Prai cream for the neck - but I'm hearing mixed results. Does micro current or radio frequency (avoiding thyroid!!) help? What about LED? Thank you!!
@@skinsciencebymira thanks very much for your response. I have at-home radio frequency, micro current and LED that I'm using already on my face, so wondering whether which is best (esp given thyroid) on neck. I don't think my platysmal bands are the biggest issue. I have the same issue I see in many women over 45 which is crepieness and lack of elasticity. I do have high hopes for microneedling (maybe using your recommended stem cell serum during cosmetic level needling?) Thanks again for your reply. xN
Hi Penny! You mentioned a shampoo and conditioner line that does not contain protein. Could you please tell me the name of that brand again? Thank you so much!
Im in AZ ( that's why I clicked on this video) , it's so hard to find anything these days that don't have HA in it, these companies are going ham with the HA , putting it in everything, I had to stop using HA a while ago because it was drying me out and leaving what seemed to be chemical burns , but it's in everything, my foundation and foundations I wish I could buy like seyrum ones, it's in lip care, creams and on and on ( the drugstore stuff), like they are only adding it as a selling point because people believe that HA means moisture no matter what, it's like no matter what we buy , it's in there. So, because I don't like full coverage foundation , or other nasty ingredients found in foundations that manage to not jump on the " it's got hyaluronic in it" trend, now all i can use is powder foundations ( ugh) lol, I even just bought the latest L'oreal foundation balm, did not see HA in it :), until i looked up the full ingredient list and boom! there she was , just in the sulfate form( rolls eyes) , i refuse to splash water on my face, apply foundation ( can you imagine hahah) and then top it with what? vaseline hahaha ... Message to cosmetic companies: please offer a damn HA free version of your latest whatever hahaha ( ok, rant over)
Hi Penny, How do you like the Bradceuticals, now that you've tried it?
this is crazy. I was just starting my 'Penn Smith' Friday evening (in the UK) binge watch and thinking 'must ask Penn if she'll please do something on needling under the eyes....' Penn you're a mind reader!! Thank you!!
Awe! I wish I was hanging out in the UK tonight!! I’m glad to answer that one for you! 💜
Happy Friday night 😘
Hi Penny, I just want to comment on your graphics (btw) I love your content and think I have watched almost all your videos at least twice) ; but as a designer I want to say this thumbnail screen shot hit the mark. It looks like a high end fashion magazine cover. That's your look girl! Keep up the great work and Thank you.
Wow!!! Thank you so much!
It’s been a huge self taught learning curve (clearly still learning)....and I appreciate your kindness so much!
💜
That made my morning!!
HI, Penn. Thank you very much for your sharing of micro needling. I have two questions, I will really appreciate if you can solve the problems. 1. How does coopper peptide work with micro needling? 2.Does hyaluronic acid damage skin barrier? What can I do when the hyaluronic acid peels on my face after I apply it. Thank you very much!!
Hi,
I am one of those people that hyaluronic acid works opposite on. What can I use instead of it for slip when doing MicroNeedling,
Thank you
Whats the difference between A6 andA7?whats the best for antiaging ,wrinckes and hiperpigmetation,PLEASE?THANKS A LOT!
Love love your channel! I probably have missed you saying this before but what numbing cream do you or your subscribers use and where do you get it??! I’m feeling like I need a higher level numbing cream then the lido 4% we can get in the US....
Your videos are so informative. Thank you so much! ❤️ I have a two part question. Can you please explain the difference between dehydrated skin and dry skin? Also, I find that my skin is so tight and dry after mocroneedling with HA. Is there something else you can suggest that might work better? I feel like I am both dry and dehydrated. Thank you so much! 🌸
Mira Parker Thank you so much! I really appreciate your reply! 🌺
Penn thank you so much on the growth factor price point substitute - I never knew that all growth factors were so expensive so the stem cell sounds intriguing it’s funny because when I was researching a lower price for growth factors- some stem cell products came up but I didn’t know it was something to try in place of so that’s really cool 😎 thank you so much as always...!
eyelids 🙄 do you have a suggestion for loose eyelids I have tried so many creams that say they work but don’t - is there really anything that can help eyelids...?
Have a beautiful weekend ✌️
Pink Star, I'm using Korres Black Pine Super Eye Serum to help with my saggy eyelids and I highly recommend it! My eyelids are firmer and I'm seeing major improvement in my dark circles too. I heard about it from a makeup artist here on UA-cam named Elle Leary. Her channel is Elle Leary Artistry in case you want to check her out. God speed on your skin care journey!
Chris Kasselder thank you so much 😊- Thank you- yes I’m familiar with Korres but never did try the black pine only the rose line- so I’m so excited to try it - 🤞thank you again for your time it’s very much appreciated 💖
Going to order it today - 😃
Mira Parker can’t thank you enough for all your time explaining 👍🏻 I’m on it and bought it can’t wait to see results-
Have a great day ✨
Can people who live in arid areas use a hydrating face mister instead of avoiding HA? If so, what’s the best face mist ?
When would I put in the stem cell? Daily? After serums or before?
You look stunning, Penn!!
And love your lip combo 😘
What you have on your eyes?
Thank you so much! 💜
On my eyes is just Giraffe from Chantecaille 😁
I also have Laura mercier cocoa stick in my upper waterline. Then just mascara 😍
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE Of course it’s Chantecaille ;) 🦒 looks amazing on you ❤️
Hi, Do you have a where to buy link for the growth factors serum you referenced?
Hi penny! It’s ok to nano cos de Baha Niacinamide serum ?
I Also have retinol serum 2,5 from the same company, could I use it after the channels are close from the actual microneedle session?
So, if you live in a dry area like Texas, should you still use the hylauronic acid ?
I’m a little confused s when
Do I microneedle with a EGF / growth hormone
One and when with hydraulic acid ?
Penn, I believe I’m following all you suggestions for products after derma rolling, but not sure when to use HA. Before during or after applying products.
With rolling I do it on dry skin then add product after ❤️
Hi. What do you think about Revolution EGF sérum ?
I have a question, what are some good serums for pitted acne scars ?
On flat acne scars not pit or "hole like scars" is it OK to microneedled at 0.75 or 1 as it is on the chubby side of chubby checks and as I can t almost feel 0.5 and there the skin doesn't t really became pink at 0.5 especially on the scar it seems that the scar collagen is so tough that my dr pen a1 (old cheap type) seems to not really be perforating deep enough to cause pinkies
Hello. Just found your channel and LOVE! Where can I ask a question for Friday Q&A? Wondering the answer to using l ascorbic acid and growth factors together. I recently heard this is not a good combination. Can you please clarify? Thank you!
Could you incorporate squalane for moisture instead of ha?
Penn, have you ever used hyaluronic acid patches for marionette lines?
If you live in a dry climate what do you use to give your pen slip instead of HA?
Hi Penn! I'm about to buy the Bradceuticals EGF for microneedling, but wondering if you have a coupon code for this? Thanks so much :)
Hello Penny i am wondering if growth factors only benefit people who microneedle? ( i do not microneedle) being expensive i wonder if it would be worth investing in for those who dont microneedle being the growth factors wouldnt be reaching.into the skin? 😂 sorry for my wording!
Hello Penny!
I always enjoy the information you give in your video’s.
You mention that living in a dry climate ( I live in Las Vegas) to avoid HA. Should I avoid it while microneedling, if so what should I use instead?
Only avoid HA if you have a problem with it. Lots of people in dry climates are ok as long as they mist their face before applying HA. I just wanted people to know that IF they live in a dry climate AND their skin is getting drier it might be the HA.
Definitely would still use it with needling without a problem 💜
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE Thank you so much for your response 💜🙏🏻
Love your video! Can you clarify if I can or can not microneedling EGF with my HA during a session? In this video, you said not to get EGF while the channel is open, but in the previous video, you said using EGF along with microneedling can help collagen induction. Thank you!
Current protocols call for high molecular weight HA only during the needling session. In the past growth factors and stem cell cytokines were used but now just HA to be safe 😊
Any input on ProCell micro channeling therapy?
I heard growth factors can cause more malasma when using with microneedling. Is this true??
Was wondering if you found a dupe for zo growth factor eye serum
Hy penny luv your videoa learning alot new esthetician here but always dabbled. Can you tell me if a home lazer device is worth it like tria. Tks
Do you use Bradccutials while microneedling?
Can you clarify the difference between EGF and stem cells? Thanks!
I'm 70 years old and live in Arizona. I would like to start microneedling. Should I use something other than hyaluronic acid for slip due to the dry climate here?
Love your channel!!! 💙💚💙💚💙💚💙
Can you recommend a good thick nighttime moisturizer to lock in the HA and for winter. Thanks!
Vaseline is perfect for this.
Definitely over my head lol
SO, if in dry areas I should not be using HA, what can I microneedle with? Help! I live in Edwards, Colorado.
Hi i have one question about cyst acni.how it can remove
And thank you again!
Hi Penny,
Have you been trying out the Bradceuticals stem cell serum? Interested in your thoughts on it. Thanks
Mira Parker thank you. I have been thinking about trying it but wanted to hear how well it works.
What do we do then if we live in a dry climate and want to microneedle with Hyaluronie acid per your suggestion?
Are there tips for different brands all the same size..
Interchangeable
Thanks Penn, always interested in growth factor serums even though I don't micro needle even at 59.
@@skinsciencebymira Thanks for this, I had an exchange with them this morning & their answers were less than helpful as to which to purchase.
@@skinsciencebymira Thank you Mira, I appreciate your thoughts on this!
Mira Parker thank you❗️
Any humectant will draw moisture thats it job. So subbing out hy-A for another humectant is not an alt or fix.
Alright, I have bought EGF from China. I have felt that it has definitely had a positive effect on my skin. The product is a two-piece affair, a powder and a liquid in small glass bottles. You open both bottles, and pour the liquid into the bottle with the powder and you have an EGF liquid. The amount is very small. I put it in a very small glass spray bottle that is a misting type of sprayer. I have been using this product for a few years and I like it. I know that China produces lots of things that are not genuine and that don't work, and this is the only thing I buy from China for my skin care. If you read this, Penn, I would love to hear your opinion. All the writing on the packaging is in Chinese, so I don't have a brand to share. Hope to hear what you think.
As a Chinese, we made more genuine products than the western world. Why you guys always have fake stuff or cheap stuff is because of your conglomerate setting up factories in China and thus made in China. Do note we Chinese don’t use those things they are wacky and bad quality. It’s your own country cheating your own citizens not us. Basically with the right amount of money anything can be manufactured much better than any part of the world. Think iPhone. Think DJI drones. And why Huawei is being blocked :$
Are there any topical growth factors that are plant based ...not having fetal tissues?
I live in a dry climate, should I still use hyaluronic acid to microneedle? If not what should I use?
Deborah hi there:)
Yes you should use HA with microneedling (and you’ll be fine). To counteract any water loss you can needle mid day and use an occlusive (water trapping) moisturizer before bed. Something as simple as cereve will work. 💜
Hi Penny, what's your opinion on Peach & Lilly skincare line? I have been using their Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask about 3xWeek. I also use Glass Skin Refining Serum followed by the Pure Beam Luxe Oil twice a day. I have noticed some changes with the sun spots but seem to have stalled. I recently added Dearskin Tranex Dear Serum. I'm 45, fair skin and trying to erase my younger years of living at the beach. I have had IPL this year and some spots never changed. I was thinking of a TCA peel. What would you suggest?
@@skinsciencebymira Hi Mira thanks for the reply. I have on order some of the items Penny has talked about. I'm a little impatient so I seem to bounce around products after 3 months. The TCA peel is my last resort but if I would get immediate results then I would go that way. I do use sunscreen and have some Penny have suggested. What's your thoughts on that TCA peel? I heard it's more invasive then the other peels.
@@skinsciencebymira I have had chemical peels before, one I had last winter wasn't good. I'm not using a retinoid or retinol because my skin is so sensitive to it. I bought one with the natural form or retinol but that just breaks me out.
Can you microneedle your actual lips (not just around the skin)? Thanks for all the great info!
Yes absolutely u can just don't go above 0.25 mm length and don't forget to follow up with higher molecular hyaluronic acid and a good lip moisturizer do it every other day or once a week as much as your lips can bear. Hope that helps! :)
Hi penny!!! How deep can we microneeedle our face? Specially on cheeks
Hi Penn, I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I am thrilled with such a lot of information on beautiful products you review. But I am a little confused. Could you help me...? I am 53 yo with some little tiny blackheads on my nose, fine lines and some uneven tone and dull (i want to improve my skin). I am currently using in the morning: Obagi in the Nu-Dream Gel, Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte FX, Obagi Hydrate moisturizer, and Elta MD Suncreen Clear SPF46. At nights: Same cleanser and I mix Tretinoin 0.5% with Hydrate moisturizer. I would like to know what do you think about this routine....? I am trying to recreate the Obagi Nu-Derm System but it is too expensive for me and I think could be too strong, so I pick and choose some of the products. I would like to include PIgmentclar wash from La Roche Posay to use instead the Obagi Clear ($85) do you think it could replace it? Thank you for your comments and suggestions. PS I have a pimple once in a while...
Hi there:)
Ok so the pigmentclar (lotion I assume) isn’t going to be as strong (not even close) as the Clear.
What you could do instead is use a less expensive cleanser (if I’m reading this right and you’re using obagi). You could also swap out your hydrate moisturizer for a less expensive moisturizer.
I would go inexpensive on the non-active products and put your budget toward the clear, tretinoin and exfoderm.
If you *do* use the pigmentclar *cleanser* it could help with the blackheads bc it’s lipohydroxy Acid which is a salicylic Acid relative and SA is helpful in clearing pores.
You could go less expensive with your cleanser and try neutrogena salicylic acid 2% wash before your exfoderm to clear the pores.
I hope this helps!! 💜
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Thank you Penn for your response. Since I cannot buy the Clear for now..., Let me ask you, for my case, which cleanser should be better for the mornings...? La Roche Posay Pigmentclar face wash or La Roche Posay 2% Salycilic acid and then the Obagi Exfoderm that I already have. I am a little afraid to use Exfoderm with the ingredients it has with the Salycilic acid. Thank you again.
I made the mistake of using hyaluronic acid when I went to Vegas. Even worse I used it on my body too. I was so itchy and dry. I did go to the drugstore and got something extremely moisturizing. 😂
Hi penn! How long between microneedling can you do a strong peel?
Mira Parker Tysm!! Yes medical microneedling.
U never talked abt pen speed? What speed will u suggest?
IS TNS Essential Serum Oncology Approved? I am trying to figure out why so many estheticians recommended Osmosis or Neogenesis when TNS has 92% growth factors. Please help! I REALLY want to know and can't find any info on this!!
