Gotta love a true skin doctor. I can't stand skincare influencers, they post constantly. It's not possible that they can use so many types kinds of skincare on their own face.

I would think you can damage your skin barrier or initiate a skin disease or condition, if you use too many products and have allergies to it (them)!

[@alibrasworld]

@@Jasmine215100Then it has nothing to do with how many you use. The issue is the fact that the person is allergic, they’d still have a reaction if they were only using one.

As an oily, sweaty, and acneic guy who only wears water- and sweat-resistant sunscreen and reapplies it throughout the day since I live in a tropical, very hot & humid country, I find that cleansing oil + water-based cleanser is a game changer for me. Using a gentle water-based cleanser once or even twice are sometimes not enough to remove all the debris on my face. I have also tried using a cleanser with stronger surfactants to see if it will be enough as a single-cleanse routine, but no. I have also tried micellar water, but I feel like that's more suitable for makeup really, also I just don't gravitate towards micellar water, I don't prefer having to use a pad, I'm lazy lmao. I just wanna use my hands.

​@@ced3069I hear you on the micellar water. Which is why I use a *micellar gel* as the first step in my double cleanse, less pads more hands 🤦🏾‍♂️🫣🧖🏾‍♂️. I find it to be a better investment & more therapeutic: - La Roche-Posay Rosaliac Micellar Make Up Removal Gel 195ml Then follow up with whatever active acne treatment that addresses the type of acne you have as your second cleanse: - CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser 236ml (2% Salicylic Acid) - The Inkey List Acne Solution 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser 150ml - De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment 73.7g (10% Sulfur) - Q+A Oat Milk Cream Cleanser 125ml (Colloidal oats is not necessarily an acne treatment but it does help by repairing an inflamed Skin Barrier) Hope this helps!

I have dry, dehydrated, sensitive skin. Adding an oil cleanser to my routine was a game changer. My skin looks so much cleaner and brighter. I also love my toners and essences. I love how they make my skin feel. I know my routine isnt right for everyone, but it works for me. 😉☺️

1- oil cleanser 2- toner essence without knowing purpose , no over exfoliation no over hydration is key 3 - hyluronic acid serum 4- watery essence in spray , thermal waters = they calm redness but not hydrating, for hydration make your own mist 5- pore extractors 6- expensive eyecreams

[@anncude531]

I remember a video about SK-II with Pitera-would you recommend that as an essence before the Dr Idress serum if the user could afford it?

[@seralynn7286]

​@@anncude531 I assume you're asking Dr. Idriss of course, but for what it's worth, I do exactly that. I use the SK-II essence how she recommended in the video for longevity -- I transfer it into a spray bottle (I use an amber-colored glass spray bottle with a plastic top that I bought on amazon) and use it twice daily before her hyper serum. I was using the essence for a while before her serum, and to be honest, I'm not really sure if it has helped at all. I know some of its benefit might just be in "anti-aging" (like how they found the active ingredient by noticing factory workers in a facility that used the active ingredient had smoother hands than faces), but I haven't noticed anything else from that alone. After adding her hyper serum, I have seen a small additional benefit. I think that my skin appears more hydrated and my freckles look a bit lighter. I haven't noticed much reduction in my mild rosacea yet, but it's only been a month and a half so it's possible it might improve more over time :). Either way though, there are a lot of essences with galactomyces out there and while SK-II has the patent on this particular strain, there is not any evidence (that I could find) stating that it has proven benefits over another strain. That's not to say it doesn't, but after I finish my current bottle (which has lasted 6 months so far and I would guess by the amount remaining it'll last an additional 4-ish months), I'm not going to purchase another one for a while just to see if I notice any changes in my skin.

How do u remove your makeup?

[@SaraAshley116]

As someone who has desert-dry skin in Southern California I have always used a thick winter moisturizer all year round, night and day…. Until a few weeks ago when after watching one of your videos I put together that the heavy moisturizer and the heat were causing breakouts. I switched to a gel moisturizer and I’m absolutely loving it. Your information about skin type and climate is very helpful.

[@user-xc3xv6gt1o]

how do you keep your skin hydrated with just a gel moisturizer? /gen

[@midlifemom5829]

I agree! I have oily skin and also live in S. California. There is hydration in moisturizer whether its cream or gel form. The key is to look at the ingredient label and make sure the hydrating ingredients are towards the top of the list.

[@mollyapteros]

Yes to almost everything but I will never give up my oil cleansers. I've used them for ten years as part of double cleansing and I've never had a single issue for my sensitive, combo, slightly acne prone skin. They melt away makeup and sunscreen and even when I'm not wearing anything I can feel a difference if I just use a regular cleanser. Double cleansing makes my pores visibly cleaner and my skin softer; it ALWAYS looks and feels better than a regular cleanser alone. I think the issue might be people using ONLY an oil cleanser and not following it up with a regular one. But of course everyone's skin is different. I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone starts doubting oil cleansers now.

[@tesdagostini4719]

what oil cleanser do you use? :)

[@bluehaert]

Me too. When I stopped using an oil cleanser, my skin got worse. The other factor is not emulsifying the oil and washing it off properly. I love the DHC Cleansing Oil.

[@ItsBlackSheepVision]

As for oil cleansing, it gets the job done only if followed by a water-based cleanser...I can't believe there are people who won't wash their face afterwards 😭. It's called double cleansing for a reason

[@xtiebro]

I think a big part of the reason is that nowhere in the directions of these products does it say to follow-up with another cleanser. So unless someone does their research properly... they believe they're buying just a normal one step cleanser that feels moisturising.

[@ItsBlackSheepVision]

@xtiebro so true! I read micellar water bottles say "no rinse" um NOPE imma rinse and then properly wash my face 🥲 labels need to step up with descriptions cause I've seen some describing BHA as safe to use twice a day 😭😭😭 say goodbye to your skin barrier 😭😭

[@gellawella]

@@user-xc3xv6gt1o iirc, it’s because HA binds water to it (one of the reasons it is said to have a damp skin when applying HA serums), and when using too much HA it binds too much moisture and even start to draw it from deeper in your skin. But don’t take my word for it, check out her long video about HA instead, you’ll learn lots! 👌🏼🙂

I have 57yo mature skin living a cold dry climate most of the year (Alaska). Essences and toners have helped save my skin. I do read the ingredients of course so that whatever I'm using is serving a function. At my age though, hydration is half the battle because older skin loses moisture more easily.

[@franekkkkk]

What she’s saying is that you have to read the ingredients on the „toners” and „essence” cause the word toner itself is meaningless, same goes for essence. When I was starting my skincare journey I used to look up on google what a toner is.

1- Had similar experiences with oil cleansers. I just bought the Bioderma Oil Cleanser and so far it is good. The last one I used a few years ago was the one from Chanel. All the other oils and balm cleansers I tried before have broken me out! I think I prefer micellar water to remove makeup but I will see how Bioderma is holding up. It is just nicer to use an oil cleanser in the summer when I wear more heavy sunscreen. 2- Agree. I tried essences and toners from various brands and none of them did anything for me. They seem to hydrate but only with short-term effects. Often they broke me out. 3- I recently tried a sample of the Dr. Sturm HA Serum and something about it makes my skin look so smooth and nice. All the other HA serums I tried in the past felt weird and didn't do anything for my skin. I use a HA body serum and that works great because I do not like body lotions. 4-I use these sprays to calm down my skin after being in the sun or refresh myself when I'm feeling warm in the summer but I would agree, it's not advertised for hydrating/toning in Europe 5- never used those! 6-Agree, but I still love using a luxurious eye cream!😁I have a dry eye area and have been using Chanel eye creams for years and love them (they are fragrance-free). I definitely noticed my eye area being less moisturized and hydrated when I tried other brands (Purito, Avene, LRP, Babor). But the Sisley eye contour mask that everyone seems to love caused me dryness around the eyes so I would say it really depends on the brand. There is just something super luxurious about the formulations that you can't find in cheaper brands.

[@ryanlamborghini1]

I’ve heard you reference how if you aren’t allergic or sensitive to product(s) containing fragrance, then don’t fear them/discontinue using them just based on other dermatologists tending to recommend against fragrances. I believe the same principle applies to this sensitivity/inflammatory effect of hyaluronic acid that you are mentioning in this video. If HA doesn’t cause this effect for me, then why fear it? I think it’s also worth mentioning that it depends on overall formulation of the product - certain ingredients often enhance the penetration of HA. Just because an individual didn’t tolerate it in one formulation, doesn’t mean that they also won’t tolerate it in another formulation. Ever since the ordinary’s single ingredient HA serum, I also agree that HA is being used in too many products that go on an individuals’ skin on a regular basis. There are better humectants on the market like glycerin that you mentioned anyway, but HA is still in my routine minimally and causes no problems for me.

Thank you for this! I used to use several products both day and night. My skin looked great, but I got burned out with the excessive routines. So I used up the things that I wanted to cut out and did not repurchase. My routine now is 2-3 products in the morning and (depending on how my skin feels) only 6-7 at night (down from 8-10). AM - Timeless vitamin C 20% Bonajour water cream, if needed (or some other lightweight moisturizer) Sunscreen PM: Vanicream cleanser (I don’t wear make up, so no need really for an oil cleanser. If I have applied a lot of sunscreen throughout the day, I just wash my face twice.) Timeless CoQ10 serum CeraVe nighttime skin renewal moisturizer my prescription tretinoin formulas from Agency for the face And their eye cream (has a little tretinoin in it) Laneige on my lips Sometimes I will use the Cicaplast Balm from LaRoche Posay if I need a little extra moisturizer or if there’s some irritation. And at least one night a week, I will skip the tretinoin and use CeraVe healing ointment or a zinc oxide cream all over.

So glad you are here to help us be better to our skin, ourselves. I am at the age where my upper eyelids are sagging. Can you suggest an upper eyelid gel or treatment to help?

Agree agree... i "double" with a gentle cleanser... i make homemade rice mist..

So nice to see that all of us oily-skinned people need our oil cleansers pried away from our hands. You can totally, absolutely use an oil cleanser if you're oily. The key is finding the right one and making sure it emulsifies well and that your water-based cleanser cuts through that oil really well. I've been double cleansing for almost ten years now and it's helped with acne so much because there's no leftover makeup.

Whatever you say is so true! ❤ If this video was out last month, I would have learnt that I don’t need oil cleanser for my oily face. Waste money on oil cleanser and my skin taking more than a month for my breakouts to subside.

New nerd here! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and this very informative video - my routine is in need of a review. 😅 I’m guilty of using an AHA/ BHA clarifying treatment toner EVERYDAY 🫠 Could I please add a request for a video suggestion on how to build one’s skin barrier back up again / how to show our skin love again? 😭 Loving your content! 😍

I am not particularly acne prone. I use an oil cleanser only when I wear makeup and always follow up with a gel cleanser. I have never been much of a toner person. I have a pretty simple skin care routine. AM: cleanser, serum (vit C or niacinamide/zinc, etc.) and sunscreen/moisturizer. PM: oil cleanser (if necessary), gel cleanser, retinol and moisturizer. I don't always use a separate eye cream. I did get a hyaluronic acid product b/c it was all the trend but I almost never use it for the very reasons you noted. I love your videos and thank you so much for all you do.

The essence and toner thing is so true. I love that som by mi toner but I do not use it every day because it’s too much for every day.

Great Video Dr. Idris! 👌🏽 So glad you said "through out the glycerin mist after 24hrs" bc I kept mine for weeks but then it started looking odd after a while. So I stopped using it and disinfected the bottle. Hadn't used it since. I wasn't sure If I formulated it wrong or not. 🙄 Whew! 😆Now I can start again! ☺️ Have a fantastic weekend! 🥰
