HOW TO USE LACTIC ACID | The Ordinary & MORE FROM SKINSTORE.COM | Dr Dray

[@novn32]

Thank you for always mentioning the effects on darker skin tones. Darker skin gets over looked often.

[@karlaharvey2623]

Hi Dr.Dray, Karla here at 60 and fairly new to a consistent skincare routine am and Pm. Is lactic acid good and safe to use under the eyes? And also: do you have a video on how to treat dehydrated under eyes? I use a peptide fueled moisturizer ( helps so so much) and of course sunscreen. I looked thru all of your videos but haven’t found one on how to treat dehydrated under eyes. Do you have one? Also would you mind doing a tutorial showing how you apply your skincare products( full routine? Thank you 🙏 so much for your dedication to all of us and to your U~Tube channel. May God Bless You daily.

[@cuttieselfie603]

@@karlaharvey2623 I know this reply is somewhat late, however lactic acid is not recommended to be used in the area around the eyes seeing as it can irritate it. It is also recommended more for night use but if you plan on using it during the day then sunscreen is neccessary. If at first your skin is irritated by it, you can mix it with your moisturizer to build your tolerance against it.

[@ChippedPaint16]

The fact that Dr. Dray manages to plan, film and edit a video to post *every day* without fail while also working her day job baffles me. I think i can speak for a lot of us when i say these educational videos are greatly appreciated and we're so grateful! 💖💖✨

[@mercedes4328]

I 100% agree. Dr. Dray's videos are so educational. I have learned so much from her and my skin has improved enormously. I too am awed by the fact that she publishes such wonderful videos every single day. 💖🙏Thank you, Dr. Dray.

Hey, Dr Dray. I just wanted to say that I followed your advice on sunscreen and bought LA Roche-Posay antihelios SPF 50 and it doesn't sting my eyes. Everything stings my eyes, even micellar water, literally everything. So big Thank you! After watching many of your videos I bought a new skin care products (from cleancer to sunscreen) and so far I'm satisfied. It's day 1 so I can't say more than this, but I'm happy I found you and thanks to you I realized I'm taking care of my skin entirely wrong 😀 Also the Oat Cleansing balm is amazing. I have dry to combination skin (oily t zone, dry everywhere else, pink skin on my cheeks, rosacea maybe) and my skin feels really soft and hydrated. Thank you! You're the real deal!

Which ones do you use if I may ask? I used to get and give medical grade glycolic peels. Now in my 50s I dont seem to be able to handle just a regular otc peel or serum containing glycolic acid. I want to try lactic but not sure which one is best.

[@RockeyToes]

@@michelletidler6773 For polyhydroxy acid, I LOVE NEOSTRATA Bionic Lotion. It's gentle and effective. For Lactic acid, I use The Ordinary lactic acid 10%, it's inexpensive and effective.

[@daivabaniene3815]

Hello dr.Dray! 🌷Good information about lactic acid. It's the only acid I can use for my dry/sensitive skin. I am using The Ordinary Lactic acid 10% twice per week for a few years now.💞 I never had any issues with my skin except dryness and sensitivity to some harsh ingredients. Lactic acid makes my skin glowing. 💁

[@eperiapt5313]

Outstanding work! Thank you for all the information!

[@peterh5485]

Another great product with lactic acid (along with urea, BHA, PHA, Petrolatum, shea, and more - at the top of the ingredient list!) is Gold Bond Ultimate Rough & Bumpy Daily Therapy Cream. I love this stuff, works FAST (but remains sticky on the skin). Superb for KP. All at an affordable $10 price point.

[@willkim4219]

Thank you for creating such informative videos!

[@merlinstwin7373]

Many years ago, my mother suffered from severe widespread skin allergies. Large areas of her skin were raw. At the time, it was a big deal to see a dermatologist, but the one she saw advised her to wrap the affected areas in gauze soaked in nonfat dry milk, and it worked. I've been a believer ever since.

Thank you Dr. Dray, you truly changed my skincare routine. As 44 years old woman who lives in most humid & tropical island in Bali, I finally dare to use Retinoic acid, lactic acid and of course Sunscreen. In fact I've been using these for the last 1 year since pandemic. You truly become my skincare guru and my most favorites dermatologist. I learn lots of new things & knowledge about skin because of you, even my dermatologist here in Bali quiet impressed with my knowledge 😁. Unfortunately using sunscreen in Bali is not yet so popular yet as most assume this more for westerner skin 😂. Anyhow I've taught my kids to use sunscreen and reapply them since they're young, even many people many a jokes on us here 😁. Thank you and best regards from Bali 🥰🥰😘😘
