Just wanted to say that I can watch your videos over and over again. Seriously my skincare routine has taken a 180. Instead of over exfoliating with acids and harsh scrubs. I’ve taken a more gentle approach. And I’ve been seeing results. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work!

This video was so helpful for me, thanks! I'm starting to really appreciate your 'simple' approach to skincare instead of using all sorts of serums and toners with all sorts of things that make the consumer think it sounds good. I don't know if you respond to these things but do you have an opinion about antioxidants in skincare? Can too much be a bad thing? Do you have a video about this maybe?

Thank you Dr. You just confirmed exactly why I just bought cheap Matrixyl drops. Super for dehydrated skin. Not dry skin, but dehydrated, which mine is recently. If it turns out to help with collagen, that'll be a plus. But I'm not bothered about that right now. I'm 39 and still get IDed for drinks lol. And I have never bothered with skincare beyond a cheap weekly scrub and daily moisturiser. Cosmetic companies are making a lot of money on pushing products that most people don't need. I actually find it sad.

I saw improvement very quickly when I tried the Revolution Copper Peptide serum. It cleared up my acne, got rid of most bumps and it makes my face super plump for a long time. I have very good skin overall so I am not saying this will work for everyone but I am very happy with it as my skin cannot tolerate salicylic acid, niacinamide or retinol.

[@mile_851]

the serums (comming from he ingrendient list I've found) has nothing that targets acne. So maybe your acne was cleared because what you had was purely caused by inflamation and calming and hidrating the skin indirectly helped with the acne, or... it was some other product you used.

I guess it’s human nature to look for “the next best thing” that is being marketed by the billion dollar cosmetic industry. I am much more consumer savvy thanks to your videos. I do use a Matrixyl 3000 serum that is quite reasonably priced. The only effect I have noticed is that it glides onto my skin like silk thanks to the glycerin and HA in the formula.

[@natashad1272]

Fantastic video! Loved watching this and it confirms my suspicions about peptides so I'm pleased I haven't wasted any money on them ! I'm studying skin science at the moment which is really helpful in understanding how topical products can (and can't!) work. And central to this is the fact that like you say, the skin is designed to work as a barrier and the chances of peptides getting to the dermis are highly unlikely. And who'd want to use them as expensive humectants when there are far cheaper ones around?! I have similar (and slightly different) doubts about growth factors, have you done a video on this? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks! Yes I have a video about and EGF face mask

Dr Dray I just came across this study with immune peptides, interested to hear your thoughts on it! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29601620?dopt=Abstract

[@hosannachild]

I use The Ordinary Matrixyl for extra moisture under my moisturizer, and it really helps my dehydrated skin. It’s cheap enough that it isn’t like I’m wasting money on it.

[@perfectfae3534]

I'm interested in this. I have dry skin, but it's sensitive. Does it sting at all?

[@petrajordanmusic]

@@perfectfae3534 not in my experience! In fact I feel that when I put it on in the evening, I tend to wake up with somewhat oily skin in the morning (but that happens to me also with niacinamide). If you have dry skin, it might actually work really well! But I’m no derm, so this is not an advice only sharing my experience. My skin is normal to oily in the T zone, especially during warmer temperatures, just so you know where I’m coming from. Also, I am using the Revolution Matrixyl because it doesn’t have hyaluronic acid like The Ordinary. I try to avoid HA as much as possible because in the long run it doesn’t moisturize but dehydrates your skin.

[@mile_851]

@@petrajordanmusic HA doesn't dehydrate the skin as long as you use other products with occlusive ingredients. If you are using niacinamide higer than 5% in your dry skin then THAT is most probably the reson why your skin is probably irritated and therefore ends up producing more oil than usual. And niacinamide is not a bad ingrendient for anybody, actually. You maybe just can't tolerate single ingredient serums that contain niacinamide as you might need more support of other ingrediets for your skin to handle it (hidrating, calming and soothing ingrediens).
