Best Moisturizers to Soothe & Hydrate Your Skin! | Dr. Shereene Idriss

[@PiaMansi89]

I have been using the riceberry face moisturizer + sunscreen by litlleeextra for over three months now, and I could not be happier with it. It’s ideal for every skin type, including my sensitive skin. The hyaluronic acid and black rice water keeps my skin moisturized without feeling oily or dry. I’ve had zero issues at all, it’s been consistently reliable and soft. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking steady moisture and SPF that also nurtures their skin.

[@HemaniBasuMP]

I've been using riceberry ceramides face moisturizer for last 2 months... It actually does what it claims... Lovely find.

[@cctv0921]

Oh shereene I could listen to you talk all day. I’m a proponent for long ass videos. Everything that comes out of your mind is gold

[@litzylule-medrano8726]

Dr. Idriss has such a pleasing voice. I've started playing her videos as background noise while I'm doing college assignments to act as educational entertainment and encouragement. Love the recommendations!

[@alyshamerkel8756]

The more and longer videos the better 🤩 we learn so much from you! Thank you!

[@AuroraCarlisle]

I love your longer form videos, ingredient deep dives, etc. I’ve learned so much from them!

[@dorinatudisco1308]

I swear by that Kiels cream. Here’s a tip for fine lines around the mouth: slather it on pretty thick around the mouth. Wait a few minutes. Then top with Aquaphor healing ointment. Then go to bed and wake up with fewer wrinkles around the mouth and moisturized skin! Also a great price point and you get soooo much product!

[@BlakLotus]

I love the long format and listen like it’s a school lecture. It brings peace 🥰

[@jaymewaltz7239]

I agree 100% about the new PillowTalk Derm moisturizer!! I never used moisturizer in the morning because I tend to the oily side but her new moisturizer is so hydrating and light. I now use it in the morning under makeup (and sunscreen) and my makeup sits amazingly AND I don't turn into an oil slick in the middle of the day. 100% recommend.

[@ava-jl1ll]

Finally got my pillowtalk derm in the mail, shukran for creating this Shereene. Would love a deep dive on the aveeno collodial line for combination skin and also use cases of combining tretinoin and actives with the pillwotalk derm line. Much love from NYC!

[@lisalisa13]

I'm so happy you brought up the great benefits of urea. I was a dermatology pharma rep years ago with Lac-Hydrin Cream being one of my products and my doctors loved it solely because of that ingredient. They would always tell me that because they wash their hands so often, it saved their hands from drying out and cracking. It stings like crazy if your skin barrier is in bad shape, but that just means you need it all the more. New-ish sub here and I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@21972012145525]

Is that similar to rx ammonium lactate 12% cream?

[@ashg2701]

So proud of myself that I independently bought some of these 😂 honestly, I love the aveeno one it’s really affordable and absorbs so fast but definitely moisturizes

[@johncheffy4775]

I get the WORST of my winter skin around my mouth! I’ve noticed you mentioning around your mouth being a delicate area for retinoids and would love a video on why it’s so delicate and the best treatment for non perioral dermatitis issues for the same area.

I loved the LRP Cicaplast in winter, last winter I destroyed my skin barrier and irritated it too much with the exfoliating acids, and this was what healed my skin. I also loved the Purito Cica cream, Aveeno oat cleanser and SKIN1004 cica cream.

[@mikeilabiddle1757]

You got me onto the Cicaplast B5 and other than my BHA cleanser I don't think I've ever loved a product as much as I do that one. I usually use it in the winter, but occasionally in the summer I sweat so much the salt literally starts to burn my skin (yes, I am sensitive) and it's the only thing that soothes it.

[@karmeljohal4050]

I tried LA Roche posay cicaplast B5 preconditioner at night-worked wonders! Thank you for your amazing advice. 😊

[@ericavigil9567]

I think I found my favorite skin barrier cream. Cosmedix emulsion. It’s a beautiful texture . Thick at first and once u start rubbing it in it gets light but it still feels like a barrier cream where it leaves a layer of protection. My skin is dry dehydrated and I’m loving this so far. I’ve tried so many that say they are “rich” and “nourishing” … nope. This one actually is both of those and more. Yes it’s pricey but I got it 20% off online.

[@adjk4169]

My aesthetician just recommended Cosmedix Emulsion as I've just started using Tretinoin at 1% again and I've been flaking a lot so I can't then use the tret regularly.

Good Morning Dr. Idriss. Thank you so much for all your great content. I ordered the Waleda from your list a couple weeks ago and Omgoodness, I love it. I’ve been peeling really bad from Tret. Wow, it is thick and kind of sticky, but after a couple uses, my dry skin is mostly gone. It is super glowy and feels amazing. I also baste my lips with it as you demonstrated. Nikki La Rose also uses as a highlighter. Great skin food for our skin.

[@cindycordero5415]

I prefer the longer format, yes ma’am! Also; can we do a video for moisturizers for oily skin? I dont only have oily skin buf live in a VERY humid place. If there is already a video about it and Ive missed it, please just guide me to it 😊

Psoriasis on the face and skin... How do we tackle this? I absolutely love your approach to teaching us to be better and understand our bodies. You are my Oracle, Dr Shereene. I'd love to see a video on that or how you tackle rosacea and psoriasis at the same time...

@@Ablueeee definitely see derm, keep in mind injections have risk of liver damage but for severe psoriasis may be recommended. My son was prescribed protopic for face but that may have risks too as not enough research yet. What helps him on the face is over the counter coal tar ointment we found at a pharmacy and coal tar Neutrogena shampoo

Dr shireen, can u do a video on melanoma and how to treat it please. Thank you for your informative videos

[@mercuryxs]

I think you will love the Aveeno balm. It goes on just like the redness relief cream they have (not the gel) but then stays on your face for much longer and doesn’t dry. Aside from carave healing ointment, nothing else stays on my face the whole night as I basically sleep face down on my pillow. It feels very rich like the ointment but not as greasy or shiny.

[@cl0wn3ry]

I wonder if this balm has the same texture like the aveeno eczema therapy/ baby eczema therapy cream because the ingredients are similar to these creams that I mentioned. Plus the price of this balm is higher than the creams with less quantity.

[@mercuryxs]

@@cl0wn3ry I had the same thought. Yes, texture is super similar going on but somehow this one feels less greasy on the face if I recall the texture of the therapy balm correctly. If there was a way to describe this... I'd say it gives you that waxy protective layer that doesn't move much once it's set, doesn't slide as much and looks satin. Somehow also feels breathable? Both the calm and restore cream and the balm, to me, go on similar. You feel the texture difference once they settle on the face and "dry down".

[@cl0wn3ry]

From now on, I am using aloe vera. This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. It penetrates the skin deeper than hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

I will be trying out the Kiehl’s cream! We recently got this brand in our country (Slovenia) and I’ve heard so much about it that I’ve always wanted to at least try it out. We’ll see how my dry and sensitive skin will like it. I also like that this cream comes in a 125ml jar, so you are not bothered with buying the cream every single month. 🙂

A great moisturizer for barrier repair and sensitive skin is the avène tolerance soothing skin recovery cream. Its formulated for reactive skin and comes in an airless pump so its preservative free. My sister and I both love it.we have rosacea, she has oily acne prone skin and I have seborrheic dermatitis. I also LOVE the la roche-posay baume b5 . I actually tried fast basting and I really liked it. I wake up with plump hydrated skin and much less pufiness around the eyes. It also reduces my black undereyes. Its very soothing and isnt really thick and greasy it just needs to sink in a little bit and I just rub it in for a minute after i put on my moisturizer in the evening.

[@JenniferRamirez-hz3kb]

Is la roche posay baume b5 okay to use on acne prone skin?

[@sergenasrallah5105]

@@JenniferRamirez-hz3kb it's a balm so it contains occlusive ingredients so slugging and putting it all over your face can be irritating and potentially worsen your acne but you can definitely use it as a spot treatment (around the eyes, on the cheeks, maybe around your mouth and nose where you can be dry or irritated even though you're oily). My sister uses it for specific areas on her face.

[@JenniferRamirez-hz3kb]

Ohhh okay got it! Thank you

[@adrianaescalante663]

Aquaphor is also a great occlusive! It has saved my skin on very dry climates

LRP makes great products love their melt-in body sunscreen…the cicaplast I have never tried wonder how it compares to Avène cicalfate which I have. Some reviews say they’re the same but cicaplast pills compared to cicalfate. The kiehls is ok?…you’re making me want to love it again, it’s ok in the best way as I do always keep a jar around for when I want to keep it simple.

Dr Sheree I'm grateful to you because you saved my skin when you spoke out about the use of hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate on how BAD they truly are, but I beg you to stop advising people to use ANYTHING with dimethicone in it. I noticed hair loss from products with this and it's even in moisturizers you yourself recommend, I tried them on myself, my teenagers and my toddler and they were horribly drying. So I went to look at the ingredient list and one of the first things I saw was that I might have to come on the Aveeno that you recommended and also the Cicaplast by la Roche posay. I would recommend that you really dive into that product and talk about that like you spoke about hyaluronic acid. There is plenty of tick tock videos out there now about dimethicone and how bad it is for you.
