I always had trouble with sunscreen, because everything I tried (even the non-comedogenic products) seemed to make me greasy and break out. I FINALLY found one what works for me, so if you like me have very pale skin and are also prone to breakouts, I really recommend Garnier Ombrelle Face Antishine Cream SPF 60. It genuinely seems to have an effective mattifying effect, so now finally I'm wearing SPF 60 every single day. It took me until 34 years old to be doing this, which is a shame, but here we are. Also, don't forget about the power of hats! Sunday Afternoons is a good brand for hats designed to keep the sun off your face and neck. They're not cheap but you pay for quality.

Dr. Idriss, in my opinion, taking collagen WITH BEEF OR LAMB in the diet has made my skin beautiful.

So a question - collagen supplementation has been shown to (in weaker studies but nonetheless) to promote wound healing in burn victims and elderly in nursing homes. Now, those studies compared to no intervention, when it would’ve been more interesting to compare to equal amounts of complete proteins, because we do know that good nutrition as a whole leads to wound healing, and protein calories malnutrition in particular hinders this process. It’s why surgeons love TPN so much despite it being sepsis in a bag. That said, do you know if there is any data of a high protein diet leading to improved skin from an aging standpoint, not the fancy collagens (hydrolyzed or whatever they advertise), but overall high protein diet of complete protein sources? Love your videos. You’re so good at educating people about skin care. I got my mom watching you and she recently bought your major fade moisturizer, and is in love.

This was really helpful! I’d love a video on how to add these different types of products into a skincare routine!

[@wackyfiasco]

I don’t think you’re in the age bracket yet (over 50), or in the tissue disease bracket (IBS, arthritis, and other connective tissue diseases) to see notably visible skin results and/or joint and GI tract benefits from consuming hydrolyzed collagen supplements. Save buying collagen peptides for after you turn 50 or if you have any connective tissue diseases (for the latter, also adding chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid can help).

[@mallorygraf8574]

I agree! Once you get to a certain age, the collagen powders really work. Just like eye creams. Don't really make sense under 40 but once you hit a certain age, eye creams make a difference.😉

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

​@@mallorygraf8574yes and too young or overuse can present more problems than it solves... A little bit is fine younger than 50 but too much can be a serious problem

[@Jessicanadine1985]

Wow this Allies of Skin serum has some great ingredients in it! Really consolidates products.... Antioxidants ceramides vitamin c peptides.... I'm trying that out. Thanks for the recommendation Dr Idriss! I've never even heard of them!

[@marim248]

Hi Dr. Idriss, could you please talk about health conditions that impact collagen such as hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, and what in-office procedures like Ulterapy, Botox and Kybela are usually recommended or counterindicated for those patients?

[@eduardksenofontov6641]

Thank you for this video!

[@adelecastaldi367]

What about taking CoQ10 supplements orally rather than topical??

[@ingevankeirsbilck9601]

It's probably a good idea in general after a certain age. It helps teeth become less loose, and I'm sure it has other benefits as well.

[@SG-unhinged]

ISDIN is an amazing product, fairly new to the USA I think. I used to intentionally sunburn when I was young. I am paying for it now and am super careful. The ISDIN spray sunscreen is my favorite and doesn't clog my aging pores.

[@torisaywhaat117]

I asked my dietician about collagen powders and she said that studies have shown with long term use, it can prevent wrinkle formation as well as helps with bone/joint strength. I’ve been using collagen powder for almost 1 year, I don’t necessarily see a difference but I’m 28 soooo might be a while before it proves useful for me

[@rayleinesandi4703]

It will eventually help slow the aging process.One says there is such a thing as Collagen Stocking.

[@avril.227]

In my experience, C serum by Cellex C, very strong and pricey, and retinols (retinol at night, C during the day) will show results quickly.

[@tiffanywong6448]

I'm happy you got that ISDIN sponsorship!! You've been promoting them even before that. I want to point out that drinking bone broth by itself sounds nasty but as a soup base it can be really delicious. Just throw in some garlic, ginger, and some veggies and it can be really yummy! Another thing I wanted to mention is that I have tried microneedling before and heavily agree that I do not trust myself with poking needles into my face. I would much rather get it professionally done.

One more question…I’m 64 with a family history of cancer. It’s my understanding that EGF promotes growth of all cells where it’s applied. I’ve been concerned about using EGF because I don’t want an acceleration of skin cancer if I should happen to have a few skin cancer cells here and there. I baked in the sun during my childhood and through my twenties so I know I’ve had plenty of sun damage. No skin cancers yet, but we’re talking at a cellular level. Your thoughts about this?

[@bebebrat73]

Been consistently taking vital proteins for 5 years. Not sure if it’s helping my skin collagen or if it’s my skin routine. But it definitely helps with my joint pain, hair and nails. If I don’t take it and I go running or do an intense workout my body doesn’t recover as fast. My lash artist asked me what serum I use for my lashes I told her none. So I think it’s the vital proteins.

[@melissagalech3649]

The collagen peptides that you are taking does work! This guy did KZbin videos about taking it for his joints only. He was not interested in skin benefits. After posting a 1 year and then a 2 year after starting that product he looked back at the video when he started and he looked remarkably younger. He noticed the difference. He does not have any skin care routine either. I can't really afford the collagen peptides but I wish I could. There's a bigger tub available in Costco that periodically goes on sale for like $22 for the bigger tub! People will go crazy and stock up since it lasts you for 2 months. I wish I knew when it goes on sale. It was just on sale a couple of months ago so probably not for a few more months. Keep taking it, Dr. Idriss!

[@melissagalech3649]

just adding it did indeed help his joints also

[@kikinomad]

If you get the Costco flier in the mail, it has all of sales. That's how I knew about the Vital Proteins collagen and was able to stock up on it. The sale lasted for about 3 weeks.

[@melissagalech3649]

@@kikinomad Thank you!! I'm so glad I rewatched this video! I wanted to add to tell Dr. Idriss to not take the new recommended 4 Tablespoons for 20 mg of protein. The guy from KZbin took the original one with the scoop. It said to use two scoops and it was 10 mg of protein so apparently each scoop was a Tablespoon. So, Dr. Idriss!! You don't need to take double the dosage! Just take 2 Tablespoons daily in your coffee, oatmeal, tea, smoothie, etc and you'll see great benefits in a couple of years. I know it's a long time to wait but it's worth it! Kikinomad, I got ahold of a different collagen peptides that was on sale on TikTok but when I find out the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is going on sale I'm going to buy 4 or 5 tubs of them! Ha ha! Thanks again!

Same! I’m 66 and have lip lines as if I was a two pack a dayer. I’ve done substantial remodeling of my skin since I found Dr. Idriss and other derms online, but these lip lines are tough. 😮

I've been taking collagen dipeptide for couple years. It helps more on growing hair but less on skin.

[@texasbluebonnet4303]

Yes I use this same Collagen Powder and the collagen cream. I have been applying the L'Oreal cream for a while and I can see improvement on my forehead , neck and chest area. I haven't found the ISDIN brand but will keep looking . For sure lemons and limes are helpful to the skin, me I drink warm lemon water every morning.

[@LisaNix2]

I find Isdin online. The sunscreens are great products.

[@empiricalgirl]

Isdin can be purchased online. It’s a European brand and in every drugstore there, but you have to special order in the US.

[@beautywithas]

Vital proteins is more of a protein powder. There are other hydrolyzed collagen powders with a lot of amino acids that actually work. One I've been using is the Beyond Collagen from Live Conscious.

Just wanted to say that I found this video very informative. Learned things I never knew, and I like to think that I’m a skin expert ( not professionally.) your explanation of how to prevent collagen loss was so good! Thank you so much,

[@yamilletrivas8041]

Gosh now I need to know how to use this in order and which days etc. A routine but for this video. Sunscreen every day I get, but what about using everything every day? An example. Can I use retinoids, peptides, glycolic acid , niacinamide and red light therapy at the same time? Same day? In what order. Dr. Idriss Haaaalllpppp!

Thank you for helping us ladies with our skin issues. I've never been recommended to see a dermatologist by my doctor before. I've seen so many other specialists but to me I feel like skincare issues are often unnecessary burden to bring up. Thank you for this!! Love your channel and you too angel. 🥰

[@priyad9376]

Hi Dr. Idriss, can you do a video/shorts on the difference in using LED panel vs mask.. ? Having a panel can have more benefits on the skin since it covers more body surface? Also, curious if it is a LED panel in the background? I like the bathroom as backdrop since it’s much brighter! 😊

[@AllisonNash-gc9eb]

Looks like maybe an air purifier? Cool looking one if it is.

[@jbmg28]

I have lupus which can be triggered by light or heat. Therefore, red light therapy doesn't sound safe for me. I was actually hoping that taking collagen peptides could improve bone density (even a little bit) and maybe provide a little benefit for my skin as well.

[@ataylor4078]

Thanks for the code! SPF is definitely 💯 the only thing that I use daily!

[@karinar9641]

That is my favorite tinted sunscreen!! I love the bigger bottle so I don’t feel stingy using more

I have started using gelatin powder instead cause it's cheaper. Tastes the same as the collagen, only it's a thicker consistency.

[@tiffanysalerno]

What brand?

[@GabiBrooks]

@@tiffanysalerno no brand name, random local producer in my country. Any bovine powdered gelatine works. Looks identical to the collagen powder.

I have been using vital protein powder for two years now. Have tried others. Have done a ton of research. It has and is serving me well for both skin and nails and joints. I take a scoop or two each morning in my sugarless coffee after drinking two glasses of water with sugarless vitamin C and electrolytes.

[@carolinenachtrab4357]

I've taken Vital Proteins for a year or so & have seen some positive differences. However, I do think I'm going to search for another brand. It used be that a serving was 2 scoops. At some point, they quietly changed it to 4 Tablespoons. That's a minimum of 3 SCOOPS!! I feel that's deceitful business practice. When I called the company, she assured me that 2 Tablespoons = 1 scoop. I told her that as we spoke, I was measuring & that 2 Tablespoons overflowed the scoop by about another 1/2 scoop! It's very hard to gag down 4 Tablespoons in any drink!
