SKIN CARE EMPTIES: VLOGMAS 2018 DAY 24| DR DRAY

[@Patti-1962]

Dr, Dray, without sounding overly dramatic, your videos have completely changed my skin care routine and the makeup I buy. Since I have switched to the Cerave moisturizing face cleanser, my skin has NEVER looked better. I actually use less skin care products now that I have learned what really works. At 56, my skin looks better than it did in my early 40's. Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@Patti-1962]

@Yuki M. I buy almost all of my skin care products from The Ordinary. I have three routines, one for vitamin C, one for acids, and one for retinols. For washing my face, if I am wearing makeup, I start with Ponds cold cream (with cucumber) to remove as much makeup as possible. Then I go in with a micellar water. I like the plain one from Garnier or from Simple. Then I wash my face with the Cerave moisturizing face wash. (It does not lather up and feels very creamy, but it DOES WORK!) This is the night time routine, which I follow with the Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%. I let this sink in for 20 minutes, then pat on some Hyaluronic Acid. After that is completely soaked in, I add an incredibly affordable face moisturizer from Amazon called Nuva Skin Retinol Intense Moisturizer for face and eye area. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2QGPHV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For my moring routine, I just swipe a cotton pad with micellar water on my face. For the vitamin C routine, I use the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (if I am not wearing makeup that day, I will add some vitamin C powder to make it stronger, the 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder. I let this sink in, add some Hyaluronic acid, then apply the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (The Ordinary). It is a light day cream. If my eyes are puffy, I will use the Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, just one drop under each eye. I always moisturize AFTER this product has dried. My other morning routine is for acids. I will start out with micellar water, then use the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution. After letting that dry, I apply the Lactic Acid 10% + HA, then a few drops of Hyaluronic acid, then the day moisturizer. I also use a product with SPF in it, I am still looking for the right product for me. If my under eyes are dry, I will apply a few dots of my nighttime moisturizer. The product that I believe makes the biggest difference for me is the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution mask. I have worked up to using this twice a week! It makes my skin so bright and even toned. I have tried adding oils and other products like Argireline, Matrixyl and an antioxidant. But I don't feel like they made that much of a difference. Plus, using too many products causes them to pill up on my face. I'm sorry this is so long, I didn't know how else to tell you everything I do. I have been using The Ordinary products for about 1 1/2 years, and my skin is so clear and wrinkle free and now I only need some concealer under my eyes, powder and mascara. I am retired, so I don't wear a full face of makeup very often. I also have "babied" my skin since I turned 30, not going in the sun and using heavy duty sunscreen if did. I also did not have acne as a teenager and have very normal skin, neither dry or oily. Until I turned 50, I was slightly oily in my t-zone area. I will turn 57 next year! P.S. I also only use drugstore makeup. I have 4 grandchildren and would rather spend my money on them or traveling with my husband😊💕

[@Patti-1962]

@Yuki M. Well, it was kind of "all or nothing!" This routine has worked miracles for my skin. Even my grown sons complimented me on my skin over the holidays!

[@stephaniercisneros]

@Yuki M. ooh I love the ordinary skincare line. I use everything you do and almost the same order. I am going to put on the retinol solution on first for now on. I typically use the buffet serum first.

[@屎蒂夫與殆夫]

in my country, some dermatologists have tested many sunscreens from all over the world japanese sunscreens tend to be less effective then they claim to be european sunscreens are most powerful in general just be aware when using a japanese sunscreen :))

[@alicedsouza2528]

徐子桓 you mean Japanese sunscreen does not prevent from sunburn

[@DrDrayzday]

so that largely depends on what their assay is to measure sunscreen efficacy

[@fiona4731]

Thank you for that information. Consumer New Zealand has also just found a few more sunscreens that do not give the SPF stated on the product. Sometimes this is due to batch inconsistency or improper storage. These sunscreens are from all over the world. That being said I still use a sunscreen with zinc oxide everyday and hope for the best! Elta MD Daily tinted is my go to for my dry mature skin.

[@granadascarf4375]

@@fiona4731 Oh my gosh, 6 out of 10 tested sunscreens didn't live up to their stated SPF that was on the label! Thanks very much for the link, it is very useful and I have bookmarked it.

[@dianaesler5380]

I LOVE the Elta MD UV sport. It is perfect for winter skin. If I find that it is too shiny, I just add the cotz face tinted on top (for those needed Iron Oxides), and they work so well together.

[@alyssa5851]

Dr dray do you ever see patients who don’t have severe acne, just mild, and who try the standard treatments (adapalene, tretinoin, antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, aczone, etc etc etc) and comply with those treatments but still do not have clear skin? I would say I’ve seen improvement in my skin but it’s not completely clear. I still get acne on my lower cheeks. It’s not very bad but I just wish it would go away especially since I comply with my prescribed treatment. Is it unrealistic to expect my skin to improve anymore/ will I always have to deal with acne? I’m also on birth control so there’s not much else I could try. Are there some people who can never clear their skin completely? If so why is this? Maybe you could do a video on why people might not respond to treatments that seem to work so well for most others.

[@DrDrayzday]

yes

[@caitlynclark6916]

@@DrDrayzday This would be great! I've gone through salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and oral prescriptions and idk what else to try either.

[@ruemah]

Alyssa you just completely summed up my entire journey with acne!

[@pencilfriendpaperscribbler6032]

If the acne is on your lower cheeks try not using your phone for a while and see what happens. Use one of those silly ear thingies or anti-bac it every time, and your hands. I don’t use my phone much, but every time I do I get contact dermatitis unless I am wiping it down constantly. As I'm fairly good about washing my hands, I can’t see why it should cause such a problem, but it does.

[@mmanon1]

Dr Dray I am on the same boat as Alyssa only I can get breakouts anywhere on my face. I follow my prescribed treatment as well. I wonder if cosmetic procedures would help in addition to the prescribed treatment? If so which would be the best cosmetic treatment for someone with my skin type? I have oily acne prone skin with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation!

[@beautyaddict08]

How I wish it could be Vlogmas every day. I have enjoyed your vlogmas videos so much. My commitment to my skincare routine and your recommendations/reviews has revitalized my skin in 2018. Here's to seeing more of your videos in 2019!

[@meganNefarious]

HIGHLY recommend the Cetaphil pro oil control sunscreen!! I have very oily and acne prone skin...I'm 37, and up until I discovered this stuff about a month ago, I would not wear sunscreen because it was always so greasy on me...every one I tried....But this stuff is a GAME CHANGER!! Doesn't sting or burn and definitely helps keep my extreme oil at bay. Sinks in fast and wears great! :D

[@kimberlyarnold8155]

Thank you for introducing me to the Cerave moisturizing cream and Elta md sunscreen. I love the Cerave cream for my face, and would have never thought to try it without your recommendation. I cannot use the Cerave lotion (with sunscreen), because it stings and irritates my skin. Thank you for all that you do. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@elizabethboin1735]

Great video Dr Gray, thx, please please please review Paula’s Choice skincare 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@theduckofallducks3163]

My current sunscreen favorite is the Zealios Sport Performance which I get on Amazon. It's a combination sunscreen a lot like the Elta MD Sport but less shiny on the face, and costs less! If I'm not mistaken it is marketed towards cyclists, and sold in specialty bike stores as well. Hope you get to try it sometime!

[@cretan982]

A substitute for the Colorescience Total Eye would be handy. The brand doesn't seem to be available in Asia.

[@lordcyrildalawangbayan-her4275]

Same gripe with Dr. Sam's cleanser. Can't ever try it because it becomes so expensive to order here in Asia. Can't wait for your moisturizer review

[@yalilgomez6634]

I found the best skin care routine for me . I don’t wash my face anymore instead just rinse my face with water when I shower then moisturize with Nivea then in the morning apply an spf moisturizer and that’s it 💅🏻

[@nicoles9373]

The shine factor was a major barrier to my initial use of sunscreen. I have combo skin, and without mattifying products, my forehead and nose look like oil slicks. Given that so many of these sunscreen empties have a greasy appearance, I’d highly suggest to anyone watching to give the Tizo 2 and/or 3 a try. Yes, they’re expensive, but they’re also water resistant for 80 mins and go on matte. The only difference in them is that the 2 is non-tinted and the 3 has a tint. I have fair skin and so I mix the two to get the right colour for me.

[@cassie204]

I spilled Resveratrol from TO once, i didn’t drop it but i forgot to close the bottle and left it on the edge of the table, then caught on it with my night robe. Luckily it was the bottle, so only half of it spilled, and the product was not too expensive. Jar packaging has one big advantage over tubes, bottles etc. The product is easily accessible to scoop it out, even when there is little left.

[@alexisnc11]

Literally the same EXACT thing happened to me with the hydroboost! It went all over my bathroom! Have you seen the new hyrdoboost body lotion? Thoughts on it if so. Also I was starting to limit how much I was using the hydroboost moisturizer because of my face, it was starting to burn and turn very red when I would use it so I stopped using it as much. Any idea why it would do that?

[@kara33574]

Merry Christmas! I'm going on my THIRD jar of the Hada Labo UV White Gel. It is seriously the best sunscreen.

[@DrDrayzday]

Empty the jar into a good tall tupperware container with a lid. Easy to use and sealed fresh. and fine for the bathroom tub/shower area.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

Cerave moisturizing cream in the tub is the best. Its my face moisturizer as well. I wish that line would come up with a scalp lotion for dry skin of the scalp. I would have to be drunk to buy Drunk Elephant. lol Way expensive. I replace my mascara every 6 weeks too. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!! Thank you for your time and I'm sure your patients are very thankful for you too. Going to look for a Christmas Hallmark movie.......

I just got the CeraVe tub after I saw another one of your videos. I've only used it a few days so far, but it is crazy moisturizing! Is it ok to use under your eyes? Or should a different under eye product be used instead? Thanks for all the info!

[@DrDrayzday]

yes...dont need eye creams

[@brigitb4850]

I remember my grandmother always used cold cream to remove her makeup. Then she wiped the makeup off with a dry cloth(she never washed those just threw them away!) Then she finished by washing her face with Dove bar soap. She had beautiful skin! Today we use cleansing oils😀

[@Jordgubbar]

Whats your opinion on the shiseido sunscreens?

[@cjh6169]

Hi Dr. Dray, I really have so much to thank you for.! For an example, I love your concern for all segments of your viewing audience. I’m from your very budget minded group. I desire to do well by my skin, however, it can be confusing navigating varies blogs and skincare sites. I appreciate your desire for simplicity which usually transfers into less dollars for skincare. I’m also VERY grateful that you are a no -nonsense consumer yourself and recommend those products for various price points, as well. I do have a question, I recently purchased the Japanese oil cleanser. And I’m doing well thus far. I’ve only have been using it short term at this point. I saw from a recent video that you switched to Mineral Oil which made sense for simplicity sake and being dollars savy . I tried a baby oil (I couldn’t find pure Mineral at that moment) and my initial impression was that the baby oil which had only mineral and fragrance was more difficult to remove than the Japanese oil. Could that be the case or is my initial impression incorrect? Thanks for your time. I know you must get a lot of questions . With your busyness in mind, I just listened to your lifestyle video today and truly you amaze. You do these videos, take the time to edit them with links, etc. You read, You color....and make all your meals...plus fit in a daily exercise schedule just to name a few that I could quickly recall. WOW girl! Keep up the good work...leading the way.

[@idreamofpeony]

I bought a few cosrx things while I was in Korea. Iherb and dermstore’s pricing are pretty good FYI. The PHA cream was like 22Korean won, which is like $21USD and the pimple patches for around $3. If you do a lot of bulk orders on iherb, you can pretend the $4-5 more that you pay is shipping and handling :) etude House was having a hugeeeee sale on a soon jung gift set, but otherwise, the US pricing isnt necessarily doubled that of their korean counterparts.

I'm using the Altruist following your recommendation and I really like it. I live in Europe so I do not have to worry about shipping costs. It is actually the cheapest sunscreen I've tried so far. This is an excellent moisturizing product for the cold weather of Germany but for the much warmer climate of south Mediterranean where I am now, it is a bit too rich. My face is too shiny and it transfers on my clothes when I use the same quantity as in Germany. Nonetheless, I'm sticking with it....

[@CadaverQT]

I have dry skin, but also blackheads. I use Cerave hydrating cleanser and cerave renewal might cream (as soon as I get out of the shower). It's helped a lot with dryness, though still dry, but I still have small blackheads and whiteheads that BUG ME! I end up picking at my skin every other day and I'm worried the inflammation will damage my skin over time. Is there something I can do about the acne without exacerbating my face-desert? Thank you!

I do try to keep it further away from my eyes since after some hours and humidity/activity it burns my eyes like crazy. I have brown/tan skin and it leaves no cast. Also you've inspired me to find an spf lip balm and have been enjoying O'Keefe's Lip Repair spf 35.

[@thientran-rd3qk]

Hi @Dr Dray: somehow when I apply some fresh orange juice or even diluted lemon juice over night, my skin is so much more moisturized, clearer, and healthier... this can happen over night but nothing from any facial creams can work this way... Also, I think fresh juice will have all the vitamins and the energy... Do you think we should apply some juice on our skin instead? We all know that eating fruits is also a great way to slow aging...

I have acne prone skin and I do love the Allie sunscreen. The alcohol smell fades quickly and it never irritate my sensitive skin. there’s a waxy feeling as dr dray described, but that waxy feeling makes it a great makeup base. It goes really well under makeup, I have tried another hada labo uv cream dr dray previously recommended, it’s great day time moisturiser and sunscreen, but it doesn’t always go well with foundations.

love these empties vids!!! i commented yesterday about cotz but thought of another brand you could possibly review (since boxing day is coming up... so sales!) but it's called indeed labs. They have a bunch of different lines of thinks, and I was wondering your view on them if you could try them out! thank you for all your hard work on vlogmas it is much appreciated dr dray!!!! and congrats on 200k WOAH!!

Thanks for this video! When do you use the PHA moisturizer? Morning or night? Does it conflict with your retinoic acid treatment/irritate? Is it occlusive enough without putting on another moisturizer? Thanks in advance for your advice!

You look radiant! I ordered the same biotin you’ve shown in your videos, your hair has grown so long over a years time in watching your videos. Happy Holidays to you 🎄🦌🎁

Beet the Sun leaves me very shiny/greasy looking but I combat it with powder because it's otherwise a great sunscreen!

I’ve loved the Belif Aqua bomb and the It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream.

Hi Dr Dray! :) I have a question: are hair products that contain salicylic acid "safe" to use for long hair? :/ If salicylic acid dissolves the "glue" between dead skin cells in skin care products, could it also damage the hair somehow?

[@joannorlando5193]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dr. Dray!! Thank you for all your fantastic advice 👍😘🎉

What chemical sunscreen ingredient did you say to avoid layering with titanium dioxide ? I really do take notes but I.cant find my notebook .

[@DrDrayzday]

avobenzone...though it is a technical point, not really substantiated clinically

Happy Christmas Eve!!!!!!! How do you feel about unrefined shea butter? it's supposed to be rich in vitamins E, A, and F. The "green" community loves it but I was curious to know your thoughts. Hope you're enjoying the holidays!

Hi, Dr Dray, Happy Holidays to you and yours! Thanks for this video--I'm always looking for new sunscreens. By the way, did you list the Cosrx PHA moisturizer and the Softtymo oil cleanser in your info section with links?

I really like the Canmake Mermaid UV Gel and the Skin Aqua UV Moisture Gel as far as Japanese, alcohol free, and 50 SPF sunscreens. I use the Mommy Uv Gel SPF 30 for my 4 year old, he has really sensitive skin and has reacted to other sunscreens but does great with that one and I’ve actually used it fine too. The Nivea Sun Protect Water Gel (Japanese) is also incredible too and absorbs insanely quick but does have a little alcohol though I don’t notice and am dry and normally really sensitive. The Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil is a great cheap product. Melts off makeup and sunscreen and is thick enough for gentle massaging. My holy grail is the Botanic Farm Grain Ferment Cleansing Sherbert tho! Feels so so nice. The Cosrx PHA was super drying on me weirdly enough even tho it felt rich! I really love the A’pieu Glycolic Acid Cream though with 3 % AHA and birch juice, it’s so moisturizing. Great video ♥️
