[@naturalladyel2012]

I mean you have no clue how essential you are to all of us. Thanks for the Pro Bono work literally. There's a shortage of black dematologists out there and thanks for your knowledge and generosity 💕

[@natashahodges744]

Absolutely, she is! My skin glows now. I don’t feel I need make up everyday!

[@connieleamon4742]

Yes, thank you for your time.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thank you so much!

[@Nandrews0519]

@TUPsychhead exactly! The nearest black dermatologist to my area is 2.5 hrs away.

[@vienicestyles6122]

Ditto! ☮️ & ❤️

[@camcordervisuals]

I put together a routine based off the information from this video. It’s only been 2 weeks and people are already telling me it looks like I have a new glow or something. Thanks Doc ❤️

[@friendlytester6861]

May I ask what it is?

[@Rennaboo]

Girl type it up for us !!!

[@Kaiwo983]

I built a skincare routine based off of these tips, and I must say THANK YOU! In just a few days, I already see a huge difference with moisturized and properly protected skin.

[@DefinedByAlex]

I cannot believe I’m just now finding your channel!!! I’m taking notes & just feel like crying bc I don’t have any black doctors around me at all so I’m so thankful for you

[@cjramos2112]

I really love watching binge watching your videos! Learning a lot! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@jwillis97]

Thank you for this video! This was extremely helpful!🙌🏽 I’ve been struggling to just figure out a basic skincare routine, so thank you again for this very informative video!

[@lanakane5069]

Omg thanks for taking the time to lay this all out simply!

[@sylviasid9902]

I would give this video 1000 thumbs up if I could. Thank you so much, this was exactly the direct and clear guidance I was looking for!

[@tiffspen1903]

Following your skin care tips has really improved my skin game thanks 🤗

[@moisdawg]

Thanks for including sensitive skin with your tips. Your video made me realize I need to make better decisions on when to stop using a product. It's frustrating when even a basic moisturizer makes me feel a little (or a lot) of burning and stinging.

[@naejessica14]

Yesss, I'm having trouble finding a moisturizer and sunscreen that my sensitive skin actually likes. Have you found any? 🤷🏽‍♀️🥰

[@moisdawg]

@@naejessica14 still not totally set on any one product, but I did have great results with the Cetaphil Redness Relieving Night Moisturizer and more recently good results with the Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer. I’ll probably start trying more Korean and Japanese products in that category. And for sunscreen i recently like the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, but my top choice so far is the Skin Aqua moisture milk (or moisture gel) sunscreens. The moisture milk leaves a bit of a white cast, but it works better for my oily skin because it has a demi matte finish and it doesn’t sting my eyes like the gel does lol.

[@marstomajormiracle5603]

I swear I literally don’t know what I would do without you, Doc! Love you!!! 🥺🥰🤎

[@ditarezkiautami8753]

I love how you explain everything. Detailed and concise information with very nice delivery in your speech. The video editing is also superb. Elegant. Thank you for the video!

[@stylesbyp9137]

Thank you for this video! I took your advice for my dry skin and acne and the products I’m using are really improving my skin over time. Definitely pleased! 😊

[@Nancy-yi6wx]

One of my favorite dermatologist ever ! Thankful for your amazing video ♥️

[@danijones819]

I appreciate your videos it's like a free consultation

The amount of information and tips in this video!!!!! I had to literally take notes lbs

[@trenab]

Thank you very much 😊. I needed this cause it's overwhelming at times.

[@loudmusic05]

Can you please do a video on skin cycling?? It’s been trending and really want to listen to your opinions and recommendations! Thanks so much for being so informative! You’re literally my favorite skincare guru.

[@earllishasanders6743]

Thank you for taking the time to educate us all.

[@susanmcf1]

I enjoy Paula's Choice Omega moisturizer. It lasts all night and has improved my skin. However, until watching this video, I hadn't realized how good omegas are for hyperpigmentation! Thank you.

[@missceecee528]

So much great information… for free! Thank you so much. I’ve been to so many dermatologists to treat my aging, acne prone, oily skin that just happens to have hyperpigmentation. Nothing seems to work since many doctors try selling you their products that are grossly overpriced, yet do nothing to improve the health of my skin. Fingers crossed, I’m going to follow your recommendations in this video and update a few products in my morning and night time routine. 🙏🏽💕

[@h.reneebaker7174]

ONce again, thank you. And, your skin is GORGEOUS!

[@mabelbenz6405]

Thank you 🙏 doctor Alexis for helping us with soooo much !

[@manualmamii09]

Great video with a great summary of what we need and product suggestions… a true one stop shop!

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thank you!

[@kendallstark4302]

I use the Cerave moisturizing lotion in the morning, before sunscreen. I even use 2 or even 3 layers of it, depending on how thirsty my skin feels. Then I have breakfast, and about half an hour after that I'll put on my sunscreen.

[@DeeLynn]

Very helpful. Took notes and plan to watch your other videos to help with my skin care routine. Thank you for your time.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thank you for giving the “Okay!” On moisturizing sunscreen!! I LOVE Cerave am and have been using it for years, but I’ve been hearing a lot of fear mongering on moisturizing sunscreens lately to say they aren’t as effective as a standalone sunscreen so a literally bought one recently because of this >.

[@kierrabee]

You started talking for 10 seconds and it was a no brainer to subscribe! So happy to be here. 🎉

[@EmorettaRobinson]

This was so informative and helpful. I like that she mentioned that a person's skin type can change And so you have to adjust the products that you use based on your new skin type.

[@MyCrownstar]

Yes, you are correct. I also change products between winter and summer. I have combo skin, but gets a bit dry in the winter.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yourpetfairyy]

ahhh this was amazing !!so helpful

[@eobrien1]

The Differin Restorative Night moisturizer is also a great one for dry/normal skin types that has omegas. It has sunflower seed oil, niacinamide, Allantoin, & licorice root, and ceramides. I do not know how they packed all these incredible things into such a cosmetically elegant formula, but my hats are off to them! Imo, it’s light but moisturizing like CeraPM, but way better. The texture is so much more pleasant to me.

[@LLCoolBeans86]

Your videos are super helpful and informative! Do you have a video on toners?

[@chesnadailey3411]

Thanks so much for the info! I have tailored my skin routine based on this otherwise I would be lost. I wondered if you had any info on topical or supplement melatonin as an antioxidant for hyperpigmentation? Thanks again!

Your awesome Dr Alexis!

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thanks so much for watching!

This is such valuable info! I'll have to adjust my routine. I've been using shea butter as a way to moisture my face and body followed by sunscreen. You didn't mention anything about toners and masks, I don't use any but I'm not sure if they're truly necessary.

Did the iron deficiency you got under control take away the bags under your eyes. Thanks

[@omalyn2081]

Hi Dr. Stephens, kindly do a video on how to treat hyperpigmentation in the under arms and recommended products. Thanks!

[@chantellcoyour7877]

Hi there! This is a super good video. I had a couple of follow ups to this. First, do you still need to use a moisturizing SPF if you don’t go outside or if it’s not sunny? The other question is, do you recommend any over-the-counter products for each of these steps?

[@TheBeautyShanika]

Yay Thank's for this Video!😊

Thank you DR

So grateful for you

[@lucyd8009]

[@QBee4]

Thanks for the excellent video as usual! I would like you to do a video on hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation. I’d like to understand the risks a little more and what the chemical does. I am currently using cyspera but I’m afraid my hyperpigmentation is “below the dermis” and therefore not treatable with cyspera. I’m assuming at this point it’s genetics. Anyway, Thanks!!
