[@poojakumar4585]

Hi Dr dray I just wanted to drop a message to say how thankful iam to you for transforming my skin. I used to have terrible cystic acne and pigmentation. Iam writing to you after following your skin care routine and product recommendation for one year. It does take months to actually see good results.and Iam so happy that I just followed it so religiously😃 Thank you from the bottom of my heart love you 🥰

[@aarongrajedabarragan1950]

I'm obssesed with your videos! Can't stop watching them, they're so addicting in the best way! Thanks for sharing so beautiful content!

[@bradenmonson5004]

Dr. Dray: I am a mature woman who is a MBC survivor and have done a clean sweep of my personal care to only using VaniCream products. I was a minimal cosmetic user and ditched everything there, too. You would be doing a huge service if you would consider doing a video addressing basic organic makeup ( Foundation, mascara, lipstick and eyeshadow) that costs $20 or less so that when Cancer folks want to feel a bit prettier we know we are not hurting ourselves. Would you consider steering us in the right direction? Physician's Formula has a new organic line that is inexpensive...but is it good? Honest Beauty is reasonable...but is it good? THANKS

[@staceydi6787]

Dr. Dray, thank you for everything you do. I developed cystic acne in August when I never had acne before. With your advice, I've managed to control it almost 100% and my skin is clear and beautiful again. I will never go back to my old skin care ways! I will always refer people with skin issues to you and their own dermatologist. Thank you thank you!

[@samanthafigueroa2828]

Dr. Dray I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your videos and hard work. I can't keep thinking as to how is your mom's health. I suffered from the same condition and it was very painful for me. I always pray for her. God bless you and her..

Thank you Dr Dray for helping me change my skincare, my skin never felt better. I learned so much about the science behind it (never knew it was so much fun btw). You’re so good at explaining things. I went from spending a lot of money and no results to saving money and getting results.

[@jungerman3545]

You saved my skin about a month ago. I had been taking hair gummies that were high in biotin and my skin began reacting horribly to everything, starting with my lips and spreading all over my face. My skin barrier had been destroyed, just like you explained due to the high amount of biotin. I quit the gummies and the itchy and intolerable red, sappy skin is cured.

[@BC-jy6jh]

How were your lips reacting? Because I'm starting to have this strange reaction on my lips and this "incurable" phase of breakouts. I'm wondering if that's part of the problem.

[@jungerman3545]

@@BC-jy6jh so I’ve been taking these supplements for over a year - two different brands - and it began slowly. First just just some redness and swelling of my lips, until it progressively got worse and entailed the area around my mouth and the pain and itching became unbearable especially when I applied any type of skin-care. At first it was the salicylic acid and sunscreen and then it was anything... even my French thermal spring-water products, aloe, and those products that are used to restore the lipid barrier. I couldn’t even use cover-up and the itching was so relentless I took Benadryl. Then I saw Dr. Dray’s video on the biotin supplements, I stopped the gummies, and within a week my problem that had been getting progressively worse over a year completely relented. She said - and I’m paraphrasing - that biotin competes for the same receptors as other nutrients that maintain your skin barrier and can displace them completely which is what happened to me. I mean she is a life-saver. I had thought it was simply the mix of products I was using but I’m still using them and no problems now. You have to watch the supplements, or at least I do.

[@inkompetenzkompensationsko4188]

I took so many of them as a Teen and was devastated because nothing would help my acne. To Bad bo one told me about the Biotin back then😭

[@BC-jy6jh]

Yea I'm in my late 20s now but I've most recently been taking these multivitamins consistently because I liked them more. Now I'm wondering what to take next. To get the appropriate amount of benefits

[@marylawman8603]

Really enjoyed the subject of this video, Dr Dray. Thank you! I hope you have a relaxing evening. Happy Wednesday!! ❤

[@SparklinYoga]

Very informative thanks! And you look beautiful and healthy

[@andresbrio4525]

Yes Dr. Dray. There's some bacteria that produces lactic acid, but what about the bacteria that even helps to protect the skin from the sun? I'm thinking that it would be helpful to use in sunscreens.

[@christineo7930]

Have a great day dr Dray 💕

[@LitlPixi]

Love this topic. Thank you for this video. I wash my face once a day at night before moisturizing. If my skin gets really bad sometimes I’ll just do nothing and leave it alone for a day or two. I can say for sure that the very first time rosacea showed up on my face I was having really bad intestinal issues and my gut microbiome was definitely imbalanced. I had a glass of limeade, felt a terrible heartburn like feeling and for the first time rosacea showed up within 24 hours, then progressed over the following 2 years as rosacea does. The 2nd time it was hot peppers that caused the flare up. I can’t even look at anything overly acidic with lime anymore, foods that are overly spicy, etc. I know that it’s very important for me to get my intestinal flora imbalance under control. It’s been difficult cause I’ve fallen into some terrible eating habits again after living with somebody who eats awful but, personally, my body screams out for healthy foods 24/7. Maybe getting that 100% on track will do a lot of good for my skin as I know it will for my overall health. Planting a bunch of cold weather kale in my garden and sticking to just saying no to joining in on other’s harmful eating habits.

Hi Dr Dray! Can you do a video on skincare tips and safety during pregnancy? I've just found out I'm expecting and I've seen a few products I use are not really safe during pregnancy. Some general rules and guidance would be helpful from you. Thanks!!

[@chrisbalcerek9226]

Good morning Dr Dray! If you get a chance-can you do a review of Bloom “probiotic” moisturizer/cream?

[@cman8464]

An idea I think many would appreciate is you making videos on different countries and making a list of best sunscreens of differing country. For example, I think many people would here in Australia would appreciate it if you gave us guidance on what sunscreens to choose. Currently I just use La Roche Ultra Light, but I could be convince to go for other options if I was inform.

[@11ttv]

Hey Dr. Dray great video:) I was wondering what pro/postbiotics supplements do you recommend that you have taken(if any)? I wanna start taking them to have better gut health. Thanks in advance :)

[@ja-t5220]

Dr. Dray can you please do an updated video on this topic. I have mild rosacea and would love to know if the science has improved in this area. Are there skin products available now that contain these beneficial bacteria for our microbiome? Thank you. Love your videos.

[@chronicmommy]

Dr. Dray thank you for this video 🖤 I have oily skin and use CeraVe gentle cleanser at night and the morning. I use Vanicream lotion with a wet face after and put it on pretty thick at night. I only use the cleanser in the morning to remove oil (the oil irritates my POD around my mouth) and make the pores on my nose clearer looking (I think the oil overnight just makes them look dark). Is washing in the morning too much for the microbiome?

[@willmae2519]

You're getting pretty everyday. Thank you for this video! -Philippines

[@kaciewolverton2692]

How do anti-bacterial creams impact a healthy microbiome? Specifically using something like benzoyl peroxide?

[@emmilouwho1530]

Exactly what I was wondering. Benzoyl peroxide is highly recommended and an effective treatment for acne. So how is this related not wanting to kill the good bacteria on your skin?

I was suffering from a really terrible malassezia Folliculitis breakout on my chest and face that was triggered by a round of oral antibiotics. The breakout persisted for over 6 months even with topical washes, ointments, and oral ketoconazole. Funny enough, the only thing that managed to clear the breakout were oral pre & probiotics! Funny how our guts control so many bodily functions. Love your videos, such great information! Thank you!!!

Dr. Dray! Lots of talk about microbiome lately. Could you talk about how benzoyl peroxide and things like Hibiclens would impact the microbiome? Some dermatologists suggest Hibiclens for underarm wash for lasting anti-smell effects. It does seem to work, but are we making the problem worse in the long run? How does the microbiome of the underarms differ? So many questions 🙂🙃
