Best skincare routine for dark circles & fine lines | Dr Sam Bunting

The eye area has a LOT to contend with. Expressing ourselves takes it’s toll on the most delicate skin on the body. Plus it’s very exposed and rarely properly protected.
So it’s worth taking stock of the simple, daily habits we can build into a consistent routine to ensure it stays fresh and firm, not depleted and drab. I take a deep dive into this in today’s video - settle in and take notes!
As always, thank you so much for watching and for all your support!

Can you please do an in-depth video on safe pregnancy 🤰🏻 skincare products and acne products that are safe to use. Also what would be the best products to use to prevent likelihood of skin hyperpigmentation that some individuals develop during pregnancy. Thanks! 💗

[@simplybri3608]

The hyperpigmentation that comes with pregnancy is often Malasma which is hormone related topical products may not prevent that. I was lucky enough to not develop malasma on my face but I did get it on my stomach even though I had a good solid body care routine.

Just discovered this channel, Dr. Sam, and I want to thank you for sharing your renowned skincare knowledge with us. Your skin is flawless! I want to look just like you when I grow up, lol (@ 64 years young, I've got some issues, lol). Can't wait to try the eye cream!💖

[@Crystal0139]

Aww love that the cat 🐈 made an appearance lol

[@trinichandy3049]

Thanks for sharing this information. You are absolutely correct...we should see a Doctor who specializes in the eye area.

[@eflodruan]

Love your videos I have learned so much from all your tips; thank you.. Could you do a video about procedures for neck lines ? Regards from 🇲🇽

[@TheMoniamonika]

Thank you Dr Sam for being here and giving us those beautiful products that are so good for skin and sun protection. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferkwok2897]

YESSS!!! I'm so obsessed with my #touchbeauty eye cream booster which is my go-to step in the evening. I can feel my eyes are 'eating' eye cream with this little gadget. It helps to maximize the effectiveness of skincare products. It is never too late to add them to the routine. 😘😘

[@Verbsdescribeus]

Indeed, cats are not worried about eye areas because they are perfect. My first cat looked exactly like yours :) Now I got white and sparks of orange :D

[@kathrynlouiseberman7919]

Perhaps this is a topic for an ocular plastic surgeon, but if not, could you discuss the differences and pros/cons between a fat transfer vs filler for treating hollowing undereyes?

[@thehylander266]

I don’t go out unless I wear 100% UVB/UVA/Blue light blocking glasses and sunscreen.

Will you plz tell me the name of you sunblock glas?

[@abc_cba]

My Good Lord ! Dr. Sam, your skin is flawless. I wonder how do you have no nasolabial folds ? Any tips to get rid of them or reduce them by peptides, or acids or some really proven scientific methods ? Thanks.

[@kendallstark4302]

Probably dermal fillers would do the trick with that. I've been massaging my prescription retinoid into my nasolabial folds for months now and haven't seen any improvement. Topicals will only take you so far.

[@abc_cba]

@@kendallstark4302 well, i don't have anymore than 10% visibility of Nasolabial folds, but i don't even want that. Blessed to see that kids as young as 7 have it but me being a man at 32 don't have much !!! Do you think it's genetics ?

[@taranullius9221]

Tretinoin tretinoin tretinoin tretionin. It's not a miracle. You're not going to reverse in a few months but get on it now and keep using it on your whole face. It's the best topical we've got. It took me nearly a year to get rid of a skin flap on my left eye but it is gone. I have no crows feet in my 40s. I do have some improvement in my eye hood (which Reddit seems to think can't happen but by god yes it can) and a bit on NL. Or, you might be left with needing fillers or other in-office more expensive treatments. Still, tretinoin will also help to slow down getting wrinkles in other places too. I wish I started younger than you. I didn't start until 38.

[@taranullius9221]

Then I had to stop for over a year due to little ones being around me all the time. So getting back into my tret routine. Take it from my cold dead hands.

[@abc_cba]

@@taranullius9221 I play with acids all the day ! Weeks, months !! I have a daily Retinoid routine for 6 days. So, two days Tretinoin 0.1, two days Tazarotene 0.1, two days Adapalene 0.3, one day of rest. I do it for a month, then halt for ten days, do a mix of Glycolic 70(for 3 minutes) - TCA 20 (2 passes). Let it heal, then restart my Retinoid game for a month and that's how it's been.

[@Infp996]

I am 41 and skin around my eyes like a teenager. I barely touch it = I don’t wear make up,not even mascara , don’t use spf so I don’t have to wash the area with cleanser and I don’t drag this delicate skin, I ALWAYS use sunglasses when I go out even if it’s cloudy and I use actives in the evening, be gentle !

[@AC-iw5mv]

Love this!!!!!!!!

[@Asher22222]

Very interesting, Dr. Sam! So, I’m wondering if I should also consider using an occlusive around my eyes in the morning as I use an active cleaner with salicylic acid and let it sit on my skin for several minutes while I’m showering. I’m 56 with aging, mostly normal, and somewhat still acne prone skin.

[@DonnaLHaney]

Any Micellar Water recommendations?

[@HereDiianas]

Bioderma micellar water for sensitive skin (pink bottle) has been my favorite for more than 10 years. I make KZbin videos and share my skincare favorites and this product is always in the list.

[@kendallstark4302]

La Roche-Posay also makes good ones. I use the one for redness-prone skin.

[@marim248]

Hi Dr. Sam, thank you for this video! I'd been wondering what to do with my undereye skin area. Could you please talk about skincare and pets? This might be out there, but for us with pets that lick our faces and sometimes scratch, I find it difficult to know if my skincare actives could harm my pet and also how to protect my skin from all the furry attention that sometimes results in irritation and damaged skin barrier.

[@simplybri3608]

You probably shouldn’t let your pet lick your face if your concerned about that

[@irenebianchi5088]

I ll buy your eye serum

[@amandaharrington4419]

I seem to have one very puffy eye, will it still be ok to use the eye serum and do I use this like goggles?

Flawless nightly eye serum already exists😉 and it's great😍👍

[@kendallstark4302]

@@maggyabc hello! I know it's called "nightly eye serum", but could it be used in the daytime? I already use my prescription retinoid around my eyes in the evening, so maybe I could possibly do more in that area with her eye cream. Any thoughts?

[@maggyabc]

@@kendallstark4302 I wouldn't suggest that because of the retinoid in nightly serum.

Your cat is no customer for eye creams

[@hiraimtiaz3514]

Doctor can you tell when to stop retinol, like if we complete the target of fines lines with it. after stop using it comes back right. so basically when the right time to stop it r switch it to any other

[@kendallstark4302]

Retinols/retinoids can be used for maintenance, as well. I got on a prescription for acne and continue to use it, otherwise it will come back.

[@hiraimtiaz3514]

@kendall thank you

[@adua78]

Cute cat! 🐱

[@bogse]

I checked your products and there was ex. eye cream. If you are a real doctor/dermatologist you should know very well that regular face moisturizers are just perfect for the eye area too, the skin is the same. They taught you this in dermatologist school. Yea its thinner so dont put retinol in eye area but when it comes to moisturizers, what is good for the other parts of face is good for the eye area. I know bussiness is bussiness but it gives a bad taste to fool people. But if your conscience dont ring any bell... well there is a judgement day, so they say in the big book. Better keep good conscience.

[@HangNguyen-ih8rf]

Have you try putting actives that you use in your face on your eyes area? Not fun, don’t recommend it.

[@flower1990-B]

We age lady. There is nothing that can bring our youth back. Use a damn cream and that s all. I see your recommendations , not working for you either .

[@tl9113]

This company is absolutely terrible. The customer service is horrible. They falsely advertise when you advertise tinted then you should receive tinted. Don't waste your money on overpriced stuff. The ingredients In there products are not even good. I wished I would of research more. Do not waste your money much better product out there check our dr rajani his products are high quality and customer service is wonderful and no false advertising
