Does Skincare Really Work? | 9 Signs Your Skincare Is Working

[@EmilyZapotocny]

"Products only work...when you use them" 😅 that was personal !!

[@LiLi-ps5vb]

My whole life I have had melasma along both sides of my face. Some people had even commented on “dirt on my face”. Finally at 60 I decided to use Curology for anti aging. They prescribed me the Tretinoin with Niacinamide and Tranexamic acid. After using it for about a year I no longer have the melasma. It is gone! I also use vitamin c. I can’t comment on the Tretinoin for wrinkles as I never really had any( genetics- my 94 yo mother has few) but it definitely worked for the melasma.

[@lynndupree1205]

Simplify your life. AM- cleanse, sunscreen PM- cleanse, retinol, moisturize I sometimes mess around with different brands of those products. But the routine stays the same. Thanks to Dr. Dray for her no-nonsense advice! She has saved me tons of both money and time.❤

[@jenessastrickland1555]

I take photos about once a month, and it has been THE key to evaluating the efficacy of my skincare products. I feel like taking photos more frequently makes it harder for me to be patient.

[@SamAmongTheStars]

This is very true. I thought the Ordinary Caffeine solution and the multi-peptide serum were not working after a couple of months of using them but I kept using them because I already spent money on them. Lo and behold, four months later and my dark eye circles that I have had my whole life have really lightened up!

[@summerelise]

Omg the caffeine solution is so good and underrated. Also feels so good on the eyes. Brightens and hydrates. So nice

[@coffee_2234]

You can use a niacinamide to the under eye if it dosent irritated your skin can also brightens the dark under eyes

[@yuan325]

I have used the caffein solution since it was $4.8 😅 can’t live without and it def works for puffiness and dark circles

[@beyond50skin]

I take before and afters, finish up a product, unless it's causing irritation, and move on if there's no improvement. Skincare is a marathon ....Tip: I've noticed my skincare works better on my mature skin if I regularly and gently exfoliate. Before doing this, skincare just sat on top of my skin due to the dull skin build up.

[@kathleenp3135]

Is there an exfoliating product you can recommend?

[@turnbacktime65]

The Ordinary AHA/BHA Peel works great. Don’t let goofy videos put you off this product. 10 min once a week. I got five or six peels out of the bottle. I used five droppers per session. Your older skin will be refreshed and hopefully be glowy. I’m 66.

[@kathleenp3135]

@@turnbacktime65 Thank you so much!

[@beyond50skin]

@@kathleenp3135 If you’re new to exfoliating …the very first exfoliation serum I used when starting a skincare routine at 50 is @sundayriley good genes / lactic acid exfoliator. )I was seriously late to the game getting into a good skincare routine!) The reason I recommended this product is it’s great for all skin types. You can use it day or night (no rules lol) It’s moisturizing for mature skin. Granted it’s not inexpensive, but a little bit goes along way. My skin still gets the most amazing glow when used regularly, even though I’ve gone onto higher strength exfoliating products. This is always in my skincare arsenal. Hope this helps. 💜

I keep a Sharpie with my skincare products. It helps me keep track of when I opened something, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue of when to toss it.

[@samrittenhouse]

These are GREAT tips, Dr. Dray! So practical and sensible. I especially like the last tip - if I find something smells foul (hello sulphur) or the texture is off-putting (that L'Oreal Everpure hair mask is slicker than frog snot on a doorknob) I know myself well enough to realize there's no way I am going to use it, so I just donate it or toss it and move on. Keeps my routine simple!

A great and much needed video. Listen to her and believe her knowledge and training.

[@4everyoung24]

I have gone so far past “is it working?” For me, with my sensitive skin my only criteria for working is-is my face not burning, dry feeling, or peeling. I swear it seems like everything makes me burn, get dry crinkles or scales, or makes me peel. I’m not talking about Retinol or vitamin C. I don’t have any actives going. Cerave gives me white, cyst-like bumps on my chin. Vanicream moisturizer and even just Vaseline makes my cheeks get little tiny scales. I can tolerate cold cream to cleanse and I have settled for the little scales from the Vanicream lotion. Forget sunscreen. I have spent so much money trying to find something that doesn’t burn and make me peel (even all mineral and other “sensitive skin” sunscreen). I wear eyeshadow once a week just for fun but when I use any foundation my face stings and peels. What the heck?!?!? I have decided to go to a dermatologist. Are you taking patients? lol

[@marylawman8603]

The three things that have made a difference for me are..keeping my skin care routine simple, keeping my skin moisturized and of course sunscreen. Thanks as always, Dr Dray. Happy Friday! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a fantastic weekend! 💗

In 2019, I started taking skincare more seriously. I bought a lot of products, got a prescription for tretinoin & started using them all consistently. I did notice a great change in my skin, dark spots & melasma went away. But after a couple of years, using 5-6 products day & night got daunting. Now, I use Bonajour Green Tea Water Cream in the mornings I need a little moisture and a sunscreen. At night I use Agency cleanser, moisturizer, & the formula for me which has tretinoin, azelaic acid & niacinamide, and I use a lip balm or some CeraVe healing ointment. Sometimes I use Vanicream cleanser and a CeraVe moisturizer, and I may use Vaseline or a petroleum based product about 1 night a week on top of everything. I have found pairing down the number products and using what works for me a lot easier to keep consistent.

Consistency BUT ALSO using the few ingredients we know work. Consistency with tret and a good moisturizer (and SPF) has done wonders for my skin in a couple of weeks . I feel so much better

[@LauraForbes-v9h]

I found Dr. Dray in late October. I put together a simple routine using her suggestions for both am and pm. The only thing I couldn't get over the counter was Tretinoin so I got a prescription from the dr. I had a bunch of photos from our trip to France in early October. I can see the difference already and I certainly can feel the difference. After years of low level acne coupled with dry patches - both are GONE.

I have controlled rosacea, biggest concern now is a bit of hyperpigmentation left from the tiny pimples that I used to have from the rosacea, and the only products I use now after several IPL lasers, antibiotic and antiinflammatory creams prescribed by the derm, are adapalene 1xweek, spf and every other day use niacinamide and AHA cream, thats it. My daily routine is 2-3 skin products at most, and it works a lot better than the 10 step routines I used to try before. 1.You dont need that many products if you know what you are doing. 2.Invest in lasers if you can, many times they will make your life easier, they are usually worth every penny 3. Using SPF religiously will give greater results than you think

This is a great video thank you! I had perioral dermatitis and tried to use prescription skin care (tretinoin/ hydroquinone etc) on it when it was in flamed- bad idea. I then did zero therapy for approx 3 weeks before introducing a brand specific for perioral dermatitis from Australia called Amperna. Literally a light serum, moisturiser and sunscreen.

So I stopped the experiment entirely and returned to a more dull resilient skin😂...but a more professional appearance. That line of products in Paris France (50 years later) is still commonly available in most high end department stores, in their cosmetic department.

I just bought the Peter Thomas Roth cucumber gel mask and because I wear it at night, I got up this morning and washed my face and put on the gel and just kept it on there while I did my reading, scrolled Instagram and just did my thing. I hopped in the shower like I do every morning and washed it off,. Maybe that’s how I get the longer duration because I don’t really think I can do it at night since I do tretinoin every night. Or can I?

Hi dr dray, can you do a video on Europe’s new regulations on retinol for the face and body?? I saw a friend post about this

[@db-gb5xi]

The EU is fond of banning things. But retinol is just restricted OTC by percentage. And prescription is fine. Mo Skin Lab (Italy/toxicologist) has a short video on this and April Basi (cosmetic chemist) also has a short video.

Tangent Dr Dray, facial moisturizer with glycerine squalene & urea. Is that a good combo? I know urea is good for body, but face?

Hi Dr. Dray, can you do a video on conditioners? It's not clear from research who should use them and for what. For example I have male pattern hair loss with very short, thin hair and it's unclear if it would be helpful or harmful to use conditioner

Dr. Dray will you ever review The Outset skincare line? Thank you for your wonderful videos

If you want a derm review in the interim, dermangelo has reviewed it.
