Love all your advice Dr Daniel could you do a video on what the most important things to use other than sunscreen for women 60 and over. 😊

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr. Sugai has some shorts on skincare for 50s and videos on anti-aging and building collagen. Some derms have videos on mature skin and Dr. Idriss has a video on 50s up/menopause skincare.

[@kristinj7173]

My guess is he would say vitamin C serum, retinoids and moisturizers. Similar to what he says in this video….Combo products with additional peptides, etc. are even better.

[@db-gb5xi]

@@kristinj7173 That's pretty much what most derms say in their anti-aging and mature skin videos and they also mention tyrosinase inhibitors, exfoliation and of course sunscreen. In addition to standard peptides, some derms do mention growth factors. Idriss' video also mentioned hydrating toners/essences and oil since skin can be drier during menopause and after. There's also diet and no smoking and limited alcohol.

[@barbarastewart603]

How is this modified if you have ultra-sensitive skin?

[@db-gb5xi]

@@barbarastewart603 Dr. Sugai and Dr. Sam Ellis have anti-aging videos for sensitive/rosacea skin. I know some derms have videos/shorts on sensitive skin/rosacea and retinol use. For vit c, there are vit c derivatives that might work better for sensitive skin like THD or even other antioxidants. There are also derm videos on exfoliation and sensitive skin/rosacea.

[@donnadesisto6225]

Dr. Daniel, I've watched you forever and this was great content here. As a 63 year old woman who suffers with hyperpigmentation, I thought I was doing everything right, and then I saw your reminder of the importance of wearing the TINTED SPF! You're 100% correct that hyperpigmentation gets worse when just wearing a non-tinted version. Thanks for all you put into your work here and you are deserving of all your success.

[@sofialotussen]

Have you used tranexamic acid and azaleic acid for your hyperpigmentation?

[@Rebounder123]

I only listen to your advice……. Spot on!

[@jydelca7297]

Thanks Dr. I have dark skin and developed melasma about a year ago. I also have sensitive skin and live in FL, exposed to heat and humidity most of the year. I’ve been using two really good sunscreens, recommended by Dr. Alexis on YT. I highly recommend Colorscience Flex, tinted ( I use “ tan”)and Supergoop Glow sunscreen. They both blend really well and moisturize. Colorscience is thicker while Supergoop works as a primer.

[@sharonscott1776]

I use Tretinoin at night with peptide serum, moisturizer and eye cream In the morning I use Timeless C serum, Arbutin, TXA, LRP double repair, eye cream, Paula’s choice 30 plus tinted sunscreen or LRP tinted sunscreen.

Hi, which Oil of Olay moisturizer do you use? I too, have Rosacea and need to be incredibly careful with the products I use. Thanks

[@sofialotussen]

Hi. Have you tried using products with bakuchiol? Data shoe that bakuchiol has similar properties to retinoids but it is generally better accepted than retinoids and causes less irritation.

[@amyelizabeth529]

I like using The Ordinary's AHA/BHA exfoliator, but I cannot handle using it daily. In the winter, I use the chemical exfoliator every 5 to 7 days. But in the humid months, I use it every 4 to 5 days. It's a matter of simply listening to my skin. Thanks for your great advice. Much appreciated from Buffalo, NY.

[@barbarar5869]

Are you talking about the red one? That is definitely not meant to be used everyday.

[@amyelizabeth529]

@@barbarar5869 Yes. That's the one he mentioned. I saw it in the thumbnail pic and wanted to watch this episode.

[@seralynn7286]

I believe that I forever increased the sensitivity of my very much not at all sensitive skin by following directions on the bottle to use an exfoliating toner twice daily every single day. I was also using the ordinary's 30% aha serum twice weekly on TOP of that, too...as well as face scrubs and many other damaging products from routines I found online. I used to literally have no sensitivity to anything, but now even though I stopped using everything for a while and did eventually mostly recover, I occasionally will get sensitivity if I start to go a bit overboard. It's kind of like my skin no longer trusts me and so it starts turning red the instant it thinks I'm about to go back to the abuse I was giving it a while ago :D. Either way though, I still did mostly recover like I said -- I can use chemical exfoliants once (definitely not twice like I used to) daily up to 3 times a week, but I tend to stick to 1-2 times a week. This is because I realized when I max out my skin's tolerance, if I want to do anything else like shave peach fuzz off my face/upper lip or treat an acne breakout, my skin makes it clear it is at the limit (redness, irritation). I would rather just do it twice a week and have my skin be able to take a bit extra when I occasionally want an additional treatment, if that makes sense :).

[@Sara-M]

How do you get rid of peach fuzz? If you are using a blade of some kind - don't. The blade will lift dead cells but also scrape off some living cells and cause irritation. I am a clinical Aesthetician and for my clients I recommend buying a little electronic shaver made specifically for your face. They are not perfect but better for your skin. There are sensitive facial waxes out there but they can also have ingredients that you may have an allergic reaction. Don't use exfoliating toners. Some of them have high percentages of alcohol. Also, be careful with face powders. Many of them have talc. I use a mineral sunscreen and put a light coating of mineral powder to set. Another thing I started doing is drinking a cup water (8 ounces) first thing in the morning before coffee or breakfast. It starts my day off right and helps me to remember to drink more water daily. Slainte, Sara M

[@sofialotussen]

Do you feel the exfoliation is helping you?

[@seralynn7286]

@@Sara-M Thanks for the info :)! And I am using a blade, but I wet my face and use a generous amount of shaving cream. I use only a very light pressure. I don't get any irritation after using it, but I only apply a moisturizer after -- none of my actives. I used to do it dry since that's what it says to do on the razor's instructions, but I did find that irritating. Since I switched to wet instead of dry and shaving cream instead of nothing, it's been fine. I only do it once every 2-3 weeks so I'm not doing it super frequently either.

[@seralynn7286]

​@@sofialotussen I think so, yes -- as long as I don't push it if my skin is feeling a bit sensitive. On my forehead I would say definitely, because my forehead is extremely oily and has actually never reacted to anything -- only the rest of my face has. I have a lot of little pimples along the hairline and I think they have been reduced by exfoliating there. If I ever get a larger pimple, I normally spot treat with 2% salicylic acid. For the rest of my face, I might skip my area between the nasolabial folds, because that gets very sensitive. But I have texture on my cheeks and chin, so I prefer to do those areas as long as I don't feel any irritation when applying the exfoliant. If I do, I wash it off and don't attempt again for several days or so.

[@sofialotussen]

@@seralynn7286 are you using any other serums or creams or such?

[@barbarayowell5463]

I'm learning so much! Thank you so much for this info!

[@Nubesyxochis]

I use Cetaphil's Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 40; it's not irritating for my sensitive skin and is also not sticky. Once dry, I layer another, higher SPF sunscreen. I also rely on Cicaplast Balm B5 - ever since my son's pediatrician recommended it for contact dermatitis caused by a chemical sunscreen + loads of sweat. Lastly, I also like using (1-2/week) Cetaphil's Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser. Doesn't set off my rosacea either.

[@BIRDY_GIRL49]

[@MsSuka78]

Thank you for this! I was doing it wrong because I am not moisturizing my skin enough after I apply the retinol cream 🤦🏻‍♀️ And my skin is dry and very sensitive...

Speaking of neutrogena, they have a spf 30 mineral invisible daily sunscreen. Have you checked out the LRP cicaplast gel b5 skin protectant that has 21% glycerin? There's also a cicaplast balm b5 spf 50. Also, The Ordinary has a sacchromyces ferment exfoliant toner and a retinal serum.

Every thing was going Great!, I was using Summer Fridays ester vitamin C in the mornings with a Cetaphil factor 50 during the day (I spend most of my time in doors) and in the evening the Aliies of Skin, Then an oat gel moisturiser, then an Elmeis anti wrinkle night cream - but I ran into trouble… I’m 43 ad some said I need to exfoliate at least once a week due to skin turn over, I used Boissance - the first couple of weeks it was OK and then I decided to add more than a tiny amount standard time is 3-10 minutes. I couldn’t evcen wait out the 1 min, my face was tingling OUCH. as soon as I washed i off it was fine, but then two days later, I devloped what I can only describe as ‘crispy patches very tinny in size and I’m using a skin barrier cream and they are much better. My question is - what on earth can I use for sensitive, aging skin, which will help with scaring that’s not going to give me “crsipiness” I’m in tbe UK so your hep wiill be aprpreciated! x

Can you talk about the pico pro laser for hyperpigmentation?

[@katm7255]

Annoyed w/ derms that won’t acknowledge that stubborn dark spots/hyperpigmentation is made worse by UVA and virtually no US sunscreens have good UVA coverage. The tinted sunscreen thing is pretty meh- you don’t need iron oxides if you have good UVA protection and if you have iron oxides without good UVA protection, you can drip get bad hyperpigmentation. Also, not everyone with hyperpigmentation is sensitive to visible/blue light and not all tinted sunscreens have iron oxides. Better to recommend Asian/European/Australian sunscreens with good UVA filters.

[@kathycostello4104]

If sunscreen isn’t tinted but has iron oxide, is that OK? Like a lot of the ‘tone up’ Asian sunscreens have iron oxide but not a lot of color usually just a pinkish tone.

I have had multiple dermatologist say that the higher doses of tretinoin is for acne control. For anti-aging purposes, they say 0.025 is sufficient and that it’s better to be on 0.025 every day than 0.05 twice a week. So you don’t even have to be on 0.5 you can be as low as 0.05 or 0.025 tret.

I don't know how much you get asked this, but what about bearded guys...How do we apply topicals to those areas? Or is it even necessary?

[@sofialotussen]

I have head scalp issues and use serums for it. There are brushes that have application "pipes" that are very handy for this. I find applying serums directly on the area does use way to much serum since the hair sucks up most of it. Maybe these would be helpful for bearded areas too?

[@lynndupree1205]

I LOVE the pricey Alastin Regenerating Serum. It minimizes my age spots and redness, but at $238 an ounce, I can't keep this up forever! Is there an alternative that works for brown spots and redness?

Yes! Totally fine to layer them 👍

[@Leeeeee05]

I don't understand. I thought we have to moisturise before retinol? But he says after?

[@littlemissmel88]

Ideally you should moisturize after the retinol. The moisturizer creates a barrier on the skin that helps keep hydration in and makes it hard for other products to penetrate. If you struggle with irritation from the retinol, sandwiching it between layers of moisturizer helps your skin build up to using it regularly. Hope this helps!

[@Leeeeee05]

@littlemissmel88 thank you for that. I'll remember it. I thought moisturising before would dilute the effect of retinol on skin directly, you know, for people with sensitive skin.
