CeraVe PM Face Lotion is outstanding. Very hydrating without stinging and no fragrance. I can even put it on my eyelids without stinging or eye tearing.

[@sheilamaxwell5303]

Thank you sooooooo much Dr. Lim for your honesty; because of your advice I have saved a butt load of $$$$$$$$ on not buying unnecessary products that won’t benefit me. I’m African American and don’t have that many issues but have taken your advice on how to combat the signs of aging with your recommendations of products. I just had my 52 birthday a day ago but many people I come across think I’m 36 or 37. I always stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and follow a pretty decent skincare routine the benefits my skin, so thank you for all that you do and the time you take to help all of us with great information.

Really simple topic that is very subjective. Facial moisturisers - why you should use them and don't waste your money on expensive ones! Go for something that agrees with your skin. Dr Davin Lim, Laser and aesthetic dermatologist. Brisbane. Australia.

[@katex2467]

I find this so interesting because I notice a huuuge difference in my skin when I use my serums. I use the ordinary and it is good but I also use aspect extreme B and it’s expensive but definitely improves the appearance of my skin even more so

[@humanormachine2936]

@@katex2467 Well sure, but it all depends on the ingredients in the serums. Not all serums are created equal. If they contain effective ingredients, then they'll most like provide some benefit. It's just not necessary to get those ingredients in a serum per se. Also the word "serum" itself is problematic because it doesn't have one set meaning.

[@larenetaddeo637]

So glad for the honesty. I have used a regime for decades, on my face and neck. Wash face well, apply Ponds Cold Cream, and a thin veil over that of Vaseline. By the time I get the coffee pot/cup washed up...ready to apply my day makeup. Not greasy, just moist. And look, as I am told often, way younger than they discover my age to be. Love you for being so honest. Women are paying for and buying an illusionary dream. Just not right.

[@LuluBowenTarot]

I moved to France 5 yrs ago. I have been influenced by what I see and hear here. Overwhelming, the deal is cleanse with the micellar water, moisturise in the morning, night moisture slightly heavier; with perhaps a mask once or twice a month as per the season. Just clean and moisturise with a good product - really simple. (I choose a middle of range paraban and scent free that suits my skin type). My skin has never looked better, nearly 50 and I am happy with a simple routine and good results. I am fairly fortunate to have the wide range of French skin care products that exist here, at very reasonable prices too. Thanks for the channel, watch it frequently, always learning!

[@emmazinglycrafted4789]

I love how you say the tub of lotion will last a decade. Makes me feel better about not throwing things out after 6-18 months like the back of the jars say to do!

[@laurenrose2128]

I just started using La Roche Posays "lipkar body milk" on my face for the day. It comes in a huge bottle and is way less expensive than the "face" lotion but has pretty much the same ingredients. I like it a lot and as an oily girl have had no break outs from it (yet).

[@arlenebauby7729]

I moisturize my face and neck w/ Cetaphil in the jar, under $10. When my eczema flares up (usually when the season changes), I switch to Kiehls Skin Rescuer until my skin is soft, supple and calm again. Kiehls is expensive so I apply it when needed.

Skin acting up like a drama queen

[@acrum04]

Cerave cream in the tub! I use it day and night! It is thick but I find if I put it on after I cleanse and my face is wet it dries matte. A little off putting the first time or two when you start to use it but it's awesome. No breakouts and my skin stays hydrated and it helps keep the elements of my job off my face. If it's just too thick for you, try the lotion. It's lightweight and doesn't have petrolatum in it.

[@komatsusakura]

is all marketing thats for sure .

[@ghecho]

Because I have dry skin I never buy expensive moisturisers anymore. I just go through them too quickly. My strategy? Buy a fairly bland but hydrating and non irritating moisturiser and get antioxidants and dna protection ingredients through serums and concentrates. These ingredients tend to appear in higher concentrations in a Serum simply because in a moisturiser they have to make more way for ingredients that give a moisturiser its humectant and occlusive properties like glycerin. I use Cetaphil moisturiser or Avene Tolerance Extreme. Under that, I treat with Paula’s Choice C15 Superbooster in the AM and retinol in the PM

[@drdavinlim]

hey hey.. thanks for taking time to explain your skin care .. much appreciated, Dr Dav Lim

[@ezura4760]

My favourite moisturiser is organic aloe Vera gel, if I’m feeling particularly dry then I mix a few drops of pure vitamin e oil from health food shops like Holland and Barrett’s. This combo is great just before bed and you wake up with plump and youthful skin, if you use it in the day it’s an easy way to get that Korean glassy skin look too!

I have Eczema Psoriasis, so...I layer. First I create a barrier around my eyes, lips and nose with CeraVe Healing Ointment. Second is Tretonoin. Third is Hada Labo Tokoyo Plumbing Gel. Fourth is Aveeno Baby Eczema Relief Lotion. I use a lot of baby products. Easy to find fragrance free in baby products.

[@shellbell8062]

I've just discovered Cerave (I live in the UK and don't think it's been available here for long) and I am seriously impressed with it as a moisturiser for rosacea prone skin. It has ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol and is helping with barrier repair - plus its about £12.00 for a huge tub.

[@TheJacquelinesnc]

Cerave and cetaphil, I have both , work great , my skin is very dry and sensitive, cetaphil is more moisturizing and heavy than cerave . But they’re awesome.

I love cerave :) I used to have really bad acne and used lot of topicals and oral medication to reduce the inflammation, which only irritated my skin even more. I've used Epiduo, Proactive, Tazorac, Neutrogena, you name it. I've been using cerave for almost a year and my skin has never been this healthy. I'm really happy about the results. It sure took patience and consistency.

[@nicole.m_official]

@@Luv2shop803 I'm sorry it took me so long to reply! I used their products targeted towards drier skintypes, even though my skin felt dehydrated and greasy at the time. It balanced my oil production and rehydrated my skin. I used their gentle cleanser, pm moisturizer and am moisturizer in the mornings. Id use tea tree oil at night on any stubborn breakouts. My skincare game got better with time too. But sticking to that routine for a while really helped clear and heal my skin. It gets some time to get used to the cleanser too if you're new to cream cleansers (which I was). My routine has changed now, but that was a good start for me. I hope that helps. Best of wishes on your skincare journey.

I am now nearly 71 and have always used a flannel and Pears soap on my face. The rough flannel acts as an exfoliator. I moisturise every morning, but not at night. I have very few wrinkles and look much younger than I am. I also drink plenty of bottled water and try to get at least 7 hours sleep a night. I do not smoke as it is the cause of badly wrinkled and sallow skin...😀🇬🇧

[@liviusss]

For extremely sensitive skin (compromised barrier due to topical steroids) I really like the La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra range, I love the moisturizer, I've been using it for years, even on my eye area with no problems. Also I second the doc on using vaseline products - my skin gets very dehydrated and itchy sometimes (well actually quite a lot of times) , so I need something more occlusive, and I always have my Aquaphor on hand. Also, for those like me suffering with very sensitive skin, avoid anything with fragrance, alcohol, tap water on the face, aggressive cleansers, any scrubs, harsh exfoliants, essential oils, and always use a good broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Along with your application tips, Cetaphil & CeraVe products are giving me instant improvement, compared to the medium priced products I have been using. I also learned an $80 cream used for pigmentation did nothing for me, because my type of pigmentation can only be treated with lasers. Therefore, the money I will be saving on skin care products is going to be put to better use with laser treatments.Thanks so much for your candid approach to patient care...and you little one is adorable!

Dermalogica intensive moisture balance. It isn't cheap, but one tube lasts about 6 months, as you only need to use a small amount.

[@missmayflower]

I've used the Clinique three step program for nearly forty years and have great skin. I don't think it's so much about the product itself, but it's about being consistent and faithful in using it twice a day, every single day, and never sleep in your makeup and don't keep switching around products. During some years when I didn't have much money, I would switch to Neutrogena, but always simple, non-irritating products. Cetaphil for body lotion and sometimes face. Simple is better for both skin and hair. The less you mess around and experiment, the better.

They have tubs of la mer that are $1600 now.. for like 250ml, I struggle to spend $60 on my Clinique hahah

[@moogdome2562]

thank you so much. I'm a man and use Alovera gel on my face in the morning unless it's sunny, then a high factor sun cream. At night, I rub half a raw potato on my skin. I have acne scars. I also drink Herbal Tyme tea. it makes your skin look good, and as many health benefits. All in all, my skin has never looked better.I would like to know the Doctors opinion on this if possible.

[@tigerdeer]

Neutrogena do Hydro Boost gel and cream-gel which are both awesome at hydrating the top layer of your skin. Really sweet and affordable at $25 or so. Quite often you get them on sale, got a couple from Woolies for $15 each recently. For moisturiser I use The Ordinary NMF (Natural Moisturising Factors) which is great and melts right into your skin. Very happy with both these after years of trying and paying top dollar for high end stuff.

Less than a minute into your video and you just dropped one of the most profound things, I’ve heard in 10 years.

[@elamilo745]

Thank you for the tips Doctor. Doctor I just wanna ask, do you have tips for rosacea acne, cystic acne? I suddenly had an outbreak and confused of what to do first.

[@angeladavies898]

La Roche Posay Toleriane range are my favourite moisturisers and fortunately not very expensive in the UK!

[@maria-mi6ox]

What do you recommend as a moisturizer for oily acne prone skin please ? I am becoming obssessd with your videos very informative indeed

[@drdavinlim]

VV light one. DL

[@maria-mi6ox]

Is this a brand as I don't find it online .thank you

[@nehamahabir9098]

maria 2018 I think he means ' very very light one' I think!!

[@Primasanto2011]

Try non comedogenic moisturizers or some marketed as oil free moisturizers, cetaphil, neutrogena, clean & clear make some of them

[@bslorbust]

Cetaphil hydrating lotion is awesome.

[@brendankelley1870]

I love the Drunk Elephant moisturizers! I use the La La Retro Whip in the winter and the B-Hydra Gel in the summer and I think they both work very well!

[@drdavinlim]

I know, they are great products. DL

[@jojopoquiz7189]

Whatever works in your skin type. I have an oily skin and mix of dry now that im in my 40's, the kanebo moisturiser works for me. I havent had a pimple since then

[@farahmakeupandhair]

Can you please list down the products you recommend in the description box ?

[@dinahphillips-vyshnevetsky5959]

Why Cerave facial moisturizer was left out?

[@katyh.2501]

Avene for hyper sensitive skin is the best ever. Anything else breaks me out.

[@camilaalmeida355]

Me too. I have rosacea and the Avene cream is amazing...

[@brendavincent]

I'm in my 50's and finally seeing the effects of not wearing SPF. I love skincare so why I skipped that step is crazy. Currently, I love the texture of Kiehl's 24hr facial cream, I'm fairly confident that it doesn't really protect for 24hrs, nonetheless I'm using it. In Australia, we pay around $70 per 125ml. I also was a big fan of Origins "Drink Me Up" for the night as I am in love with the fragrance in it. After watching this video, I will most definitely give the less expensive versions a go.

[@sasfishadventures9729]

I love absolutely love thos mix I made of moisturisers: La Roche Posay Lipikar AP+ mixed with Moogoo MSM cream and Moogoo Full Cream Moisturiser + 4 drops Jojoba + like 0.3ml sudocrem + 2 drops The Ordinary Buffet. Its an amazingly good mixture, soo smooth and moisturising but not greasy or too dense. No scent or irritation. I also use tretinoin 0.025% and The Cancer council face day wear moisturiser 50 spf sunscreen and spot treat with La Roche Posay Cicaplast. Very impressed I have to say

[@kathryntan2647]

Thank you for your honesty. How about for Aging skin for 57!years old

[@Josh-pe5pl]

Very very helpful. Hard for us consumers to see thru the hype, but you educated us common sensically and clarified-although I’ll have to write it down and carry it with me, or some beautifully displayed Fancher packaging or pretty models’ faces may lead me to spend far more than necessary. Also loved your video on Elizabeth Arden 8-hour Cream! Makes me want to get a horse....what??

[@kabsatdajaj]

Olay..all the way!! Tried tens of Hi- Lo end products. Olay is the best "affordable" brsnd for me.

[@Ibochic1]

kabsat dajaj I agree

[@patchworkmermaid]

I like the Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel. Dries down really nice. Other moisturizers make me want to wash it off right away.

[@JessieR2023]

I like the skin balancing cleanser. Never tried their other products cause they gotten expensive, but I will definitely try the moisturizer. I also feel the same way about other moisturizers where I just want to rinse it off.

[@LoveABun]

Would really help if you would include a link in the description to the products you recommend here!

[@meshenneebadongen4517]

Japanese moisturizers are great for me. it also lasts for a long time! ^^

[@Hershe915]

What name?

[@terriupton7006]

Dr. Lim, I'd love to have your recommendation on a cruelty free line of products.

[@drdavinlim]

Will do, I will have a research assistant do the search. Cheers,

[@GaretteAvelino]

I agree with him with the La Roche Posay! Great moisturizer!

[@ezwriter101]

I have eczema and use the Aveeno Eczema Balm --which is thick and greasy, but because of my eczema, my skin absorbs it quickly. I use it twice a day.

[@indac123]

CosRX Birch Sap moisturizer - affordable, simple ingredients, no filler and effective!! My husband and I both use this and it is incredible for keeping skin hydrated during Boston winters and balanced during summers.

[@drdavinlim]

Thanks for sharing your regime.
