Can you do a video about the Ordinary peptides? They’re cheap and I feel like it’s one of the only ones on the market where you know what you’re getting, a lot of products that have peptides on the label have like 1-2 peptides and often at the bottom of the ingredients list so it’s hard to know if it’s in a high enough concentration to actually do anything and not just a marketing tactic. Love all your videos :)

[@RG-bd5fy]

Argeline, Matrixyl, Copper, and “Amino Acids”, there are a few others that have the word “peptides” on the label. I agree, Timeless is also good (Syn 6’, matrixyl 3000, CoQ10).

After I switched my routine to ordinary buffet and zinc oxide sunscreen during the day and lactic acid cream at night, I’ve noticed a tremendous improvement in my skin. I would like to believe even if TO buffet isn’t building collagen, it’s doing a helluva job hydrating, calming and brightening my skin.

[@LivingOffTheLand]

This is such great information Dr Idriss. Your channel is so helpful since I live and Canada and access to cometic dermatologists is very limited. The wait is often over a year. And unless you have a health problem, its difficult to be referred. I hope you have a great Saturday as well. I have changed my entire routine based on your recommendations. I am unfortunately one of those people that has a difficult time with retinols. But I am trying with your tips and tricks and it helps!

Thank you Dr Idriss for another informative discussion. I've binged your entire list of ingredient focused videos (and fell in love with glycerin, haha).

I’ve learned so much from this channel and have seen a huge improvement in my skin. Now my friends and family want me to help them build a skincare routine based on what I’ve learned from this channel!! (I try my best but I also forward them a link to your video) One thing I would love to hear is how to combine these ingredients on a weekly basis. For example, maybe retinol 4x/week but what would you use the other 3x/week? When do you combine niacinamide, azelaic acid, aha/bha etc? Morning and night combos

Thanks, Jasmina. My favourite is #touchbeauty anti-aging wand HALO. It is powerful combines RF, microcurrent, and light therapy in one device. Really works well for me. My skin is much smoother and healthier! It is doing a good thing to my skin. Absolutely love it so much. :)

Could you make a video for people who have have both rosacea and black heads?? What do you recommend using? Love your videos and how informative you are. Thank you for all the help you give us!

[@J.E.C.]

There also many other groups of peptides: brightening, soothing/redness reducing, moisturizing (increasing natural HA production), protecting from dna damage by sun, antioxidant peptides, increasing fat deposits/fullness in skin etc. There are biomimetic peptides which are recombinant growth factors. Good serum with right concentration of right peptides makes my botox last 2-3 months longer. There are only 2-3 good ones and they are expensive.

[@mellisbeauty5275]

Love the video! I've seen some real benefits from a couple peptide-focused products! Argireline: Acetyl hexapeptide-8 (argireline) didn't do much for my skin as an ingredient in other serums, buuuuuut when I added the Argireline serum from The Ordinary to my routine I noticed a HUGE difference in my expression lines! It's not botox, but it does work for me! (Plus, it's less than $10.) You are correct that it doesn't last, because if I miss three day I suddenly look 5 years older.😆 Matrixyl: IDK about some of their anti-aging claims, but the Matrixyl serums from Timeless are some of the most hydrating, plumping products I've tried. After using for a week my skin looked healthier and plumper than I'd ever seen it!

Hi Dr Shereene, i just wanted to make a correction on the Kiehl's retinol. It is 0.1% retinol but when it comes to retinols, the percentages go from 0.1% to 1%. So the Kiehl's is actually very gentle. When it comes to retinoic acid/tretinoin, the percentages go from 0.01-0.1% - i think you may have gotten the both confused :)
