I second this 😍😍

[@deaundrahurd836]

Sis! You just don’t know how glad I am to have found your channel. 🙌🏽😭 My skincare routine has improved drastically with the correct products, and my skin has never been more healthy & clear. 💗

[@christinabundy2098]

Happy new year! Switching to the T.J sunscreen was a easy transition from the supergoop! Love that for my pockets 💃🏾🥂

[@erinrobinson6436]

I LOVED that Trader Joe's one! I was only able to find it once at the beginning of the summer and they never had it in stock after that. If they get more I'm buying two at a time!

[@phoebhee]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm definitely going to try the Summer Friday sunscreen. I hate sticky sunscreens since I also have sensitive skin. It looked like you didn't put anything on once it was blended on your skin. Have you heard about the brand Tree to Tub? I used to get bad breakouts on hot days because my pores were so clogged but since switching to their unscented facial wash and toner, I don't break out as easily. You should definitely give them a try.

[@justaznyce]

Dr. Stephens you ROCK❤️👑💯👌🏽I finally finished my esthetic course and I can now say that I am a licensed esthetician. You have helped me in so many way🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽and I want you to know that I greatly APPRECIATE you❤️😘❤️😘

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@amritasunkuru7035]

I have been using Summer Friday’s from the day you recommended in one of your shorts….ltssimply amazing…no white caste at all…

[@TheSoulIsPrismaticTV]

Lawd, you sure know how to get me to spend my coins! 😂 I’d just purchased the Vanicream (as recommended in your vitamin C video) the other day. Now I’m skincare shopping again! But thank you for all of your help and knowledge as they’ve helped my skin 💜

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Haha. Hope you enjoy it! Happy New Year and Thanks for watching :)

[@blufaerie]

Trader Joe’s is stepping their skincare game up!

[@ThatCho]

Glad you gave PSA some shine. I’m obsessed with a lot of their products.

[@muta_othernames]

Me too! PSA and Allies

[@DrAlexisStephens]

They are amazing!

[@ThatCho]

@@muta_othernames I just got PR from Allies and I love the two products they gifted me. What have you tried that you love?

[@muta_othernames]

@@ThatCho The Mandelic Night Pigmentation Correction serum, I think it's called. Gentle and effective. PSA: The Heroine Mandelic & Liquorice toner , as well as the Liquid Clarity BHA & Bakuchiol serum. My skin is plump,.clear and glowing and hyperpigmentation has greatly reduced. The Mandelic exfoliator in particular: top tier ♥️

[@muta_othernames]

@@ThatCho Which ones have you tried?

[@nikiabutler899]

I learned somethings from this vid. I learned I need to pay more attention to my body as well and use the same of ingredients in products vs just buying regular products like I’m use to like regular body lotion now I need anti aging body products. I learned about the different body products I need to incorporate. I am learning more and more about the ingredients in products that are key when fighting my specific issues. I am being introduced to good brands vs me being overwhelmed and not understanding or knowing what to get for my dark melanin skin. And because I’m learning about the ingredients as I see them and see how they work on my skin it will assist me in being a smarter consumer when things are coming out and when looking for those already staples sitting on the shelves. This helps me a lot because we can spend so much on these budget friendly products that do nothing because we’re ignorant about what to get or we’ve seen something on social media but it’s not for us. So thank you for the vids they are most certainly not taped in vain there are a lot of nuggets packed in.🙏🏾👊🏽💓

[@ladyphenom84]

Thank you for these recommendations Dr. Stephens! I’m going to try the Urban Skin RX and the Topicals recommendations

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Hi Dr. Stephens! Could you make a video about treating back acne?

[@monye9963]

I like the biore and nivea Japanese sunscreens, the biore watery essence specifically bcuz its the one that doesn't leave a cast.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

I'll have to try that one!

[@marywatlington4042]

[@celenajenkins8997]

Great video! Love your recommendations. I’d love a pregnancy safe morning and night skincare routine from you for hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and moisture. I’ve been struggling to find a routine during my pregnancy since I can’t use retinol anymore.

[@omalyn2081]

She has one up on her channel already from about 2 years ago.

[@MeryM.]

Hi Celena. Azelaic Acid 10% is a great choice to treat hyperpigmentation and acne scars. Is safe to use during pregnancy and on sensitive skin. The Inkey List and The Ordinary ones are great and affordable. She has specific videos on cleansears and moisturizers for diferent skin types. Choose a mineral sunscreen without denatured alcohol, retinol or fragrance. She has several sugestions for sunscreen. Use it daily. Hope this helps. Wish the best for you and your baby.

[@cierral1170]

Hi Dr. Alexis! May you do a video on more affordable sunscreens for oily/acne-prone skin? Also what's the difference between chemical sunscreen compared to mineral sunscreen? Thank you for your videos! Happy new year!

[@shaale8732]

I watched your videos for months & now I use Sente pigment corrector and Cereva vitamin c serum to lighten my acne scars. I apply sunscreen everyday no matter if it’s hot or cold outside. I specifically been using Dr. v sunscreen . I’m learning how to take care of my skin properly because of you❤️Thank you so much. I’m not a young spring chicken nomore so skincare is so important now.
