As a 56yo woman, layering has literally saved my skin!!!! Especially as a menopausal woman with dry skin in a dry, cold climate (Alaska).

[@turnbacktime65]

Nice pun.😂

[@AlitaMee]

Alaska wow ...

[@jessinnieferreras1077]

Relate much

[@sophiedeffet9073]

The same for me

[@bluegirl5029]

What product is good fir jowls and neck? Hows it cosmetics?

[@Cvididht]

Would love to see some content about dry skin & acne. Everything about acne is geared toward oily skin. Info about products to use, how to know if we have combination skin or just dry skin with acne, etc. would be super helpful.

[@KristenMartinez]

Yes!

[@ashleymelendez7109]

I have super dry flaky skin and acne too. What seems to help is applying the spot treatment on acne and then layering moisturizer on top to avoid the drying caused by the acne treatment.

[@db-gb5xi]

I've seen a couple derms with videos on dry skin/acne like Dr Dray and The Budget Dermatologist. Another channel that's not a doctor channel is AliceintheRabbitHole and she has dry skin with acne and sometimes sensitive.

[@CamelliaWictorin]

Having dry sensitive acne prone skin I would also love to see a video about it! ❤

[@KimberlyCline]

Same here 👋🏼 dry, sensitive, acne and rosacea that is also menopausal 😩

[@theresaweaver2692]

I use Avene mist, Aveno serum, Cocokind serum, Major Fade serum, Major Fade active seal, and Kiehls. Made such a big difference in my skin. I don’t always need the Kiehls.

[@christina4832]

Thanks doc! Early in the summer I developed a horrific rash on my cheeks, jawline and neck. I had used a new exfoliating serum and I believe I had an allergic reaction. I work in the medical field and wear a mask 12+ hours a day. Saw a derm 3 times, topical steroids, oral steroids, bought my own hypoallergenic masks. The oral steroids helped but only during the time I took them. As soon as i stopped taking it, the rash came back. My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 after a few months and i just stopped caring about my skin. Then a few weeks ago I saw your video on triple paste so I bought it. Within 3 days the rash wasn't visible anymore and my skin felt so much smoother to the touch. After a week the rash was gone. I am so grateful for your info. Now I can go back to having some much needed me time of taking care or my skin again. Thank you so much❤

[@marypalmer2088]

I could listen to you all day! Your show and tell is the best for me because at 63, I need pictures and props. Thank you from dry (and cold) Maine.

[@lorikell6216]

I’m 54 and have been blessed with good skin (although had so many burns in childhood) and have never done more than cleanser and moisturizer and sun screen until lately, post menopause. I have seen many derms and skin care videos on KZbin and you are the shit! Thank you for educating me!

[@karmaleenash2841]

You got me back to doing my two times a day skin care routine. I had a rough fall and winter due to a flare up of chronic pancreatitis. Some days, the most I could handle was a micellar water on a reusable cotton pad followed by a dollop of vaseline. Now, that my health has improved, I watched one of your videos and felt that spark again. Restarted my skincare routine and am enjoying taking some time for self care again. Thanks for the inspiration!!!❤

[@margaritaandcheese]

I can’t thank you enough for actively disclosing your own products. Doing that so often actually makes me want to try them more😂

You are real, likable, authentic, genuine, and on top of all of that have beautiful skin!

Having her mention diffrent climates and diffrent skin types IS one of the KEYS. Wow. I used to copy others and then wondered ehays the problem! Because I'm oily in humid and too much for me!

I started following your videos and my skin has never looked so better. I have such a good routine because of you.

[@robbimorris5879]

Hi Dr Idriss!! I just found you yesterday. I watched this video, the one on how to wash your face, and made adjustments to my routine accordingly. I wanted to thank you! I am in my early 50’s and have dry sensitive perimenopausal skin that lives in a dry cold climate (Wyoming). I finally feel like I am hydrating my skin appropriately!

[@joyatwood6670]

Dr Idriss, THANK YOU THANK YOU for being so generous with your knowledge and expertise. I created a new playlist just for your videos that I want to watch over and over. This one was especially helpful and I’ve already sent a link to friends. ❤

Ty Dr. Idriss for this tutorial video. I've tried the triple paste cream at night. It has been a game changer for me, ty! I live in Nevada, and I have chronic dry skin. My skin is renewed daily when I do this the night before! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on skin care!

[@j33home]

Thank you for this video. Since discovering your videos 6 months ago, I’ve had the confidence to buy products that my skin needs rather than doing nothing because I didn’t understand what the products did. My skin is 1000% better. ❤

Great, clear video. I love how YOU show other products rather than constantly going on about your own products (which I hope to pick up when I’m next in the U.S. in answer to your question, the visual was very helpful.

[@moonbyeol9130]

I used butt paste for 2 nights in a row now, so did my mom. We both LOVED IT! We both have really sensitive skin and it relieved it in moments. Also I had an issue with flakey skin on eyelids and nothing worked. But butt paste did! Thank you so much for this tip! Also thanks to your advice I’ve stopped using hyaluronic acid and suggested mom to minimize it to one product and it also helps with irritation. Thank you so much dr Idriss! ❤

[@katgirlblue]

Do you think it's better than Vaseline or Egyptian Magic? Thanks in advance.

[@user-ef8rj8pd9o]

It made so much sense to hear the triple paste recommendation and happy to know it comes in a tub. My dermatologist had recommended this years ago to help with horrible rashes under the breast especially in the summer, being menopausal and a 40DDD bra size. It's the only thing that worked for me. Thank you!

[@kellywojcik7206]

This may be a stupid question, but how do you sleep with the triple paste on your face and then laying on your pillow?

[@karmeljohal4050]

❤ Took your advice for LA Roche posay cicaplast B5 precondition at night and after 12 days I see a huge difference-beautiful glowing skin. For hyperpigmentation from a heat rash on neck I tried Timeless 20% only at night - jackpot! 😊 Thank you - you're an amazing Dermatologist.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Hail hydration! As a menupausal 52-year old I'm obsessed with glycerin (not a fan of HA) and layer hydrators all day long. Immediately purchased the little mist bottles....genius! Thanks for another no-nonsense video 🙏

[@ambertears8707]

This was super helpful and i can’t wait to try this technique. I’m in my mid 40s and my skin has turned into a desert. Every thing I try makes my skin angry. I slather on moisturizers and top it all with Vaseline but 2 hours later my skin is tight and dry again 😢. I think I’ve been layering it all wrong. I’ll think this will be soooo helpful! Thank you for the breakdown! ❤

[@nouraallam985]

Great video, as always 👍🏻 The visual was also very helpful in following the layers.

[@caromtns]

Thank you again and again. I have watched this 3x and saved it. I have several of these.

[@pri2121]

I love the focus on hyperpigmentation, however, would like to see more information about those with texture! I have your major fade system and it has helped me so much with hyperpigmentation. Thanks for making amazing products and educating us!!!

[@claireh1508]

I agree with this! At 35 I only have one small sunspot, but I have a ton of texture on my cheeks/under eyes I can't seem to get rid of

[@Smr8115]

This is amazing! I have dry skin and live in a dry climate (Colorado). I’ve never been able to find a way to make my irritated skin feel better. I need an occlusive! Definitely going to give this a try. Thank you!

Excellent, informative video from a 75 yr old woman. Always searching to tackle dry wrinkley aging skin. ❤

The triple paste, putting products in a spritzer, and the glycerin daily spray are just wow *chef's kiss* great tips thank you so much!

[@HanhNS]

Water is the water glycerin ratio in your spray

[@TracyMaday]

Would also Like to know how much you use of the glycerin in the atomizer I just put a few drops in but didn’t know if I should use more

[@liz1b3th]

@@TracyMaday I'm pretty sure she said it was just a 1:1 ratio of glycerin and water.

[@TracyMaday]

@@liz1b3thty

[@MF-up9ss]

it is 4 parts water and 1 part glycerin for the sprayer

[@riflegurlsmom]

After watching your face basting video, I bought triple paste and LOVE it! My very sensitive, rosacea prone skin living in a cold climate and indoor heat has been so irritating and this has helped a lot! Thank you, Dr. Idriss - love your videos!

[@CourtneyGriffo]

I wish you had this channel when I was in my 20’s! But it’s never too late! I live in Canada and couldn’t find the triple paste anywhere, so I went with the sudocrem. I have dry skin and rosacea, and using this a couple times a week has already helped so much with hydration! I cannot wait to incorporate more products (saving up to buy YOURS!) and take this skin care to a whole other level! Thank you for your time and dedication to all us nerds out there!

Thank you for your instructions. You keep me interested and help me navigate the confusing and sometimes overwhelming skin care brands. I am 68 and although I have always tried to do the best for my skin, I was often inconsistent. I cannot tell you the number of times I went to bed without washing my face. No more. Right now my biggest problem is hyperpigmentation so I am following your advice and using your products. I am looking forward to a better complexion in 2024.

I am super late to your videos, but WOW, I feel so blessed by you. I just turned 50, & I have always struggled with hyperpigmentation, I’ve had hormonal dry skin for 10 years & now have developed rosacea. I’m a hot mess to say the least. The worst part for me, is I had amazing skin in my youth, so I’ve had to really adjust.

[@melissagalech3649]

Shereene, I take back what I said about you not smiling, giggling or being corny in your current videos as opposed to before you got your practice and skin care line. You still got it girl! I still love following you on youtube. You're so helpful in all of your videos. I'm in a dry environment right now so I try to use cicaplast baume B5 and then vaseline or CeraVe Healing Ointment since it's another thick occlusive and has ceramides and a couple other benefits than just vaseline. I do use vaseline though. Love it to slug.

Did it clog your pores? I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin and currently have a damaged skin barrier I think might benefit from the triple paste but hesitant to try because I don’t want to clog pores 😟

[@katgirlblue]

@@CamelliaWictorin me too, but I checked and it also comes in a small size - a 3 oz. tube, and also a 2 oz. tube, so it's a lot easier to try it out. If it's too heavy I figure I can always use it on my feet, or cuticles.

[@vra735]

Loved this video, very helpful. I am 77, very dry skin, grew up in La Jolla when there was no such thing as SPF so I enjoyed the sun and deep tans until my 40s. I have used your system since you first came out with it and love it however I stopped the Hyperserum because my Derm put me on Hydroquinone +a number of other ingredients. I thought I was rounding the corner with the hyperpigmentation on my cheeks but then I noticed it looked like they were getting darker. I have stopped the hydroquinone and started back on the hyperserum. My next step may be CO2 laser because I don't know if the discoloration on my cheeks will reverse. I would love for you to do a video on this. Thanks for all of your helpful information, I was an RN for 40 years and worked at MDA in Houston so I have a deep interest in skin care and skin cancer prevention (I've had 4 skin cancers removed from my face and 2 removed from my body…..ugh!) Happy Holidays to everyone!

[@NotSenile95]

Hydroquinone will make sports darker before they get better. You need to finish the prescription

[@Maialeen]

Your derm maybe should have said that everything will get darker before it lightens. But you're also 77 and have worked as a nurse for a very long time. You also have Google that would have told you this happens. You should know better by now than to just ignore what a doctor told you to do for your issue.

Hi Dr. Idriss. A dupe for SK-II is MISSHA’S Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence. It has the same premise of “yeast ferment extract and their hot & cold double fermentation process”. I’ve been using it for at least three years and it’s a staple in my routine. I love how it has improved my skin’s texture and smoothness over time.
