[@YellowBellow11]

So grateful to have come across your channel. Now that I’m 31 I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin and your videos have paved the way. After watching a series of your videos and taking notes. I’ve come up with my own facial skin care routine. But I’d like to know if I’m applying correctly. First hydrate with Avene Thermal spring water, 2. La Roche-Posay hydrating gentle cleanser, 3. Paula’s choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum, 4. Eadeam or La Roche- Posay double repair face moisturizer, & Handcraft 100% pure grapeseed oil. *only if it’s night time for the oil* I’m targeting dry skin & want to continue to have even skin.

[@rayd12010]

[@amiwill5843]

Thank you for recommending supergoop bioretinol mineral sunscreen. I finally invested in it and this is the best mineral sunscreen I have used. My skin tone is darker/deeper than yours and no white cast at all even with reapplication. Non-irritating also.

[@denisep6076]

Thank you, Dr. Alexis. Great info as usual. Do you think you could do a video on the best Korean products for darker skin?

[@Alex51516]

Dr. Alexis, can you do a video of festoons/malar bags for skin of color treatments?

[@JohnMonday-kc5oe]

I recommend Dr.Auchi on KZbin 💯💯

[@larasunshine7]

I'm excited to hear about the moisturizer because I deal with melasma and it sounds like it could help with this condition. I follow the principle of adding a drop or two of grapeseed oil to my regular moisturizer (as instructed by Dr Stephens), however, one can't do this if you need to put moisturizer on under your sunscreen in the morning as the oil will affect the sunscreen. I'm also very curious to know how much this moisturizer will cost, as so many of these specialized products, such as those high in linoleic acid, are prohibitively expensive for many of us.

[@Saidwhatisaid11]

Definitely interested in the pillow. I subscribed to Dermatica and it is working well ! Currently experiencing the purging you mentioned, but I’m ok with it as the results will be worth it 😇😇

[@shakiamusic86]

I am so happy I’ve found a dermatologist to help me understand wheat my skin needs! Can you do a review on the best body wash and products to help moisturize the body during and after your shower? I live in Atlanta, Ga and my skin has been so dry due to the crazy weather. My hands are starting to feel like sand paper. I’ve been googling and doing research on different products but I’m not sure.

Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@PrettyIzzyXOXO]

Hi! Thank you for your focus on hyperpigmentation. I have HS and my dermatologists are consistently more focused on that, understandably. But that leaves me to figure out the post acne dark spots and dark patches on my own. Thanks to your videos I’m updating my skincare routine. I want to try the JJ Labs skin Brightening & anti-aging, faded, cysteamine and eucerin anti-pigment dual serum (thiamidol). Is that too much? Do they cancel each other out? I’ve gathered them from a few of your videos, so I’m not sure if you’d recommend them together or in place of one another. Thank you for your help!! Ooh! And could you do a video on keratosis pilaris please?

[@honeypillai2836]

You are awesome Alexis

[@cdanieldance]

I purchased the zerafite brightening cream on your recommendation. Tonight the first night. It feels amazing 😊

Hi very curious what you think 2 weeks later ?? Im thinking of it too

[@midlifemom5829]

Thank you for the video. I've used an entire tube of Topicals Faded that has combo of many actives u mentioned. Did not work. Also used entire bottle of Tran examic acid with no results. I regularly use Vit C (L-Ascorbic), Niacinamide in the morning and Tret 0.1% at night. I have non-sensitive skin and probably going to try office procedure because non of the over the counter products have worked

Are you using sunscreen??

[@jojb411]

You look gorgeous doctor!

[@ally062002]

Dr. Alexis can you PLEASE talk about Potenza and microneedling with exosomes vs. PRP?! I've hardly seen any derms talk about these, is it worth it and does the science back it up?

2023 was a great year for videos from you! Can’t wait for 2024. Thank you!! Does Zerafite play well with other ingredients like Thiamidol and Azelaic Acid too?

[@MarkieOrMarc]

Happy New Years, Doc I was wondering if you could do a video of the steps of your previous video… going through Hyperpigmentation and Acne at the same time treatment. Quite some people were wondering if you can just go through the steps of what’s products to use first to last for example 1:Which cleanser to use and product and down to the moisturizer. I would really appreciate since, I can’t come to Florida for a appointment 😢 because am in Canada and there’s not a lot of dermatologist that know about black skin since they’re mainly white dermatologists … they rather put you on accutane since they don’t know anything about my melanated skin. I won’t lie what you’re doing is helping a lot of black folks out and that video will garnish a lot of views. God has a special place for in his kingdom. Peace and prosperity queen

Glad you like the Supergoop! No need to use both but they could both be beneficial depending on thats going on with your skin.

I have watched all you videos and it’s so helpful, thank you so much Doc!! And one quick question, i work at night and i have started using active ingredients right now do i need use sunscreen on the night ? ❤️

[@Pew_PewGod]

I put on sunscreen day and night, but at night I usually won't reapply it unless I got sweaty or needed to rinse may face or something. Artificial blue light (phone/tablet/computer screens, fluorescent lights, LED TVs, etc. etc.) do in fact damage skin, and research is showing that artificial blue light is harsher than originally thought.

Hi Dr. Alexis! Love your channel, you've been helping me so much, so first of all, thank you!! I've always wanted to try the cerave retinol but it's not available where I live. Here we have this brand that's quite famous and people seem to like their retinol, but I was curious, based on the composition alone, what do you think? It seems like there's so much going on but also, all I want to do is treat some acne red marks I have on my chin, nothing else, so the composition looks kinda crazy but good at the same time 🤣 Should I give it a go or maybe try another one?
