Skincare Flops You Need To Avoid

[@garssympa500]

Well... this is a side of Dr. Dray we haven't seen very often... unplugged, so to speak. I laughed more during this video than most "comedy" videos I've watched recently. And... informative! Thank you Dr. Dray!

Dr. Andrea Suarez.. The moment I heard your name in today’s Andrew Huberman podcast! I almost had a tear in my eye! You absolutely deserve the recognition!🥰 you are truly one of a kind, very detailed, reliable, to the point dermatologist I have come across and steadfast in your focus! so happy that the effort you take everyday to thoroughly educate your audience did not go in vain.. Happy follower for 4+ years now and will always be.. Thanks for your dedication in educating the general public! ❤️

I am really enjoying lip remedy. The thumbnail seemed to indicate it was not good. It does have a taste that took a while to get used to…but now that I am, it is my night mask. It replaced the milk melatonin which has been discontinued. I have very dry lips and this has really helped

[@sharonshade4437]

I can’t get past the taste. Is horrible. I reach for other balms as a result. If a product is not pleasant to use, I’m really not likely to keep it. Especially unpleasant taste for hours my mouth. 🤮

Pretty bummed for Dr. Shah and his new product line that his Remedy for Lips was included in this Skincare Flops video. I know the review of the product wasn't bad, but the picture posted for the video made it look that way. I purchased it to replace my Laneige sleeping lip mask and have been loving it.

[@jennacalifornia8889]

It's called engagement bait. She likes the product, but she knows that making it look like she is about to hate on another popular influencer's brand is going to get people to click on the video. It's no accident that the lip balm is pictured in the thumbnail.

[@80sforever3]

Moogoo Australia has several lip balms but so far i only use the strawberry one for many years. A swipe or two and it keeps on moisturizing my lips throughout the day. No need to reapply. The same goes when i use it at night. Wakes up my lip still moist and the balm still there on the lips. The downside, the balm is very soft, like applying thick jam on the lips. It smeared the edge of the tube and twisting it down will not makes it goes down. Just twist it up a tiny bit to use or i ended up loosing lots of lip balm recapping it.

[@claudiasmith9117]

Good Afternoon Dr Dray ❤

[@robinallen8076]

I've tried the Panoxyl Oil Control Moisturizer. I liked both the formula & packaging they offered last summer. The old packaging was like It Cosmetics CC Cream. I think their old formula was a bit friendlier to layering serums, too. I haven't repurchased it since I'm happy w/my other SPF products for face.💓

Have you tried? I can’t wait to try their ph5.5 foaming cleanser next.

[@SydSonnig]

I recently tried out the Vanicream Baby Foaming Wash as well. I made my skin super red and itchy, which has never happened to me with any other Vanicream product. Super recommend both the Vanicream Liquid Cleanser and Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo though!

Just in case my prior comment was unclear, I still love you and your information, and you are one of only 2 skincare YTers I subscribe to! 🌺🌺

[@450awrocks]

Coming from someone with very oily skin, I've tried my fair share of mattifying sunscreens. My all-time favorite is the Eucerin oil control from Europe (USA version is not the same!). For me it was an absolute game changer. (The EU Aveene ultra matt also wasn't bad, but they did a reformulation and isn't nearly as good anymore.)

[@lemonz1769]

Thank you for the review of the new Vanicream product! I’ve been eying their new baby products. Their ointment was a lifesaver for myself and my nephew that has pretty severe eczema. On another note- if it interests you please consider a video on milk product allergic contact dermatitis. My nephew can ingest dairy with no problem but if he gets it on his skin he develops a rash at that location. I’ve not been able to find much literature on the topic. Just trying to understand the mechanism. I’ve seen others mention a similar reaction on forums as well.

[@MissMohz]

FYI Differin has an oil controlling moisturizer with broad spectrum 30 SPF. No white cast, didn’t burn me (but I always steer clear of my eyes). Haven’t tried it with makeup but it didn’t pill with my benzoyl peroxide acne cream. I love Remedy lip but will admit the taste is pretty bitter.

Thanks for the video. That's so funny about the foaming face wash...I have empty Hada Labo foaming facewash container sitting around, so I tried filling it 1/3 Cerave Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser which is clear and 2/3 distilled water. WOW! It makes a rich, even luxurious, foam/lather with 2 pumps. I love it. In that container I can't see how much is left, so I transferred to a Trader Joe's clear foaming hand soap container. Works just as well. Try it!

[@shanstereo7022]

Happy Monday Dr. Dray - hoping you review the new Vanicream Moisturizing Cream for Baby - it is luscious! They added beta glucans and ceramides so it lasts all day on my dry rosacea prone skin. I rely on Vanicream moisturizers but they don't keep my skin hydrated through the day so I'm loving this new one. I agree with you about the new baby wash from Vanicream - not effective.

I am not a self tan girly at all but I am most definitely a body shimmer/glitter/glow girl😂 I can confirm Dr Dray that a majority of everything I own has shimmer, glitter or glow on it and it doesn’t bother me one bit. My family often makes jokes about it though. I recently I told the Valet that I spilled coffee on the seat and wasn’t sure if it was still damp and he said “I don’t see any coffee but there sure is a lot of glitter”

I had high hopes for the Panoxyl AM also, but the pilling and the rubbing alochol smell (no fragrance, BUT) made it a one and done for me. Luckily it's a small bottle.

[@blergh89ify]

I agree with the zinc oxide thing. If anyone has ever had to use zinc oxide paste and knows what the texture looks like and how it feels. You'll know how hard it is to get off, rub around and just how stark white and tacky it is. It's literally used to mold proof. I don't see any reason to use mineral based sunscreens. Unless you're maybe our at the beach, need immediate protection and want it to be water proof. Day to day, organic is always going to look and feel better.

[@libitard]

You made me really laugh.....that the PanOxyl will drive you berserk! You really have great information on Sunscreens. I have used your sunscreen videos to try to find brands that I can use. I am a very light skinned white male with a history of basal cell. And I have used your stuff to try to find brands that don't make me feel like I am wearing plastic on my skin, and finding sunscreens that don't look like makeup. Thank you for your information sessions.

[@GenXVictoria]

I personally like the Remedy For Dry Lips. There really wasn’t an explanation as to why this would be a “flop”. Here’s my own take: It’s a good product but no better than a moisturizer followed by Vaseline on lips. Taste is strange but it’s not unbearable as it does a decent job of moisturizing, not a “holy grail” status though. Main reason? Cost is 16 dollars (US) for .33 fl oz. Expensive. I can put Vanicream cream on my lips followed by Vaseline and it’s far cheaper. I do think there was an issue noted with the first batch of Remedy For Dry Lips. Separation of ingredients is possible. Anyway. I like it, but it’s not something I intend to repurchase. Hope this helps. It’s sort of an “in-between” flops or not in my book.

[@pamcanfield255]

I love the Remedy for lips. I'm on my 3rd tube--I got one of the first batch that separated. They refunded AND sent me another free! I've since bought another! I think it's WAY BETTER than Vaseline, Aquafor or CeraVe. It's got lots of great ingredients that have really helped my fry lips.

[@GenXVictoria]

@@pamcanfield255That’s fine. You do you. I spoke personally. Also, you realize you spent 48 dollars (not including tax) on 3 tubes of .33 fl oz lip balm? Way too expensive for me. I said the product was okay, the price is too much.

[@pamcanfield255]

@@GenXVictoria No. I actually paid $16 for THREE tubes. I complained to Customer Service about the first tube & they contacted me & was refunded the next day. They sent me a reformulated tube--FREE. Since, I have ordered another tube for my daughter (who also loves it!). So, I paid $16 TOTAL.

[@thequ33n94]

I really like the product but will not repurchase because the price is ridiculous and I wonder if I even received a full tube. I get the need for some air, but my tube was slightly over half of product and the other half of the tube was flat. I can’t justify the cost 🤷‍♀️

[@anitawallace2166]
