You must have sensitive skin like me. You are speaking my language. I can't tolerate glycolic acid once a week while I'm using tretinoin 0.0.25% 4 times a week. I love moisturizers that sink deeply into the skin. I think I've found my KZbin Derm. Thanks for the recommendations even though they're expensive.

Great video Dr. Bowe! Thank you! Does Bowe Golwe contain any ingredients derived from soy? Is it safe for sensitive/reactive skin?

[@user-kh9oq9gi5m]

Does your cleanser, toner, serum, treatment, moisturizer, and sunblock all need to contain ceramides, and niacinamides and hyaluronic acid in order to have a good skin care system? I think the majority of people are not using a cleanser as a stand alone product, and I don't see how it's moisturizing capabilities is relevant to it's function when the next 4 products you apply are all "moisturizers" on top of a dedicated moisturizer. I'm just getting into skin care trying to build my own system, and it's bizarre for me to see reviews where every product is rated by how good of a moister it is, instead of it's intended purpose.

I want to know more about your hair Doctor 😍 how to take care of hair?

[@DrWhitneyBowe]

Great question. A few years ago I overprocessed my hair and i"ve been working hard to regain my hair health. I'd be delighted to share all the research I've done and what I've learned in future videos. I'll start with some shorts and plan to post one within the next few days for you, but I'll build out a longer form video as well. Just be sure to subscribe so you see it when I post it.

How do you work in the brightening serum into skin cycling? How would you layer morning and night with the other skin cycling products/actives?

[@DrWhitneyBowe]

If it's a brightening product with niacinamide and tranexamic acid, it can be layered morning and night, ideally under your vit C serum if the consistency allows for it (should ideally be lightweight so it dives into skin and layers well under your vit C). Unfortunately, some brightening products contain glycolic acid which I obviously don't recommend both AM and PM, nor do I recommend that every night. I have a KZbin on dark spots but I'm editing a roundup on my fav products and exactly how to incorporate them into a routine so if you are subscribed that should drop soon!

Dear Doctor, please please help me, I have been researching this for weeks... Can I layer Copper peptide serum (1%) with Matrixyl 3000 serum (8%) without the potential of them itneracting in some way and reducing their efficacy? ( I started worry about this after I read on Timeless skincare website that the don't recomment layering their MAtrixyl 3000 serum with their MAtrixyl Synthe 6 serum due to potential interaction between peptide signaling activities (headbang). I want to layer copper with MAtrixyl because they work in different ways. I don't want to alternate days because all research is done on ingredients used daily, so maybe they are not effective used every other day? Please please help, this drives me to agony:D
