I used the Three Ships mask for the first time today and my face felt amazing afterwards and being Canadian, I'm always happy to support good Canadian companies.

[@NoFeArChiC2]

Three Ships has blown me away. I tried the Hero serum and the Dream night cream after watching one of your videos and WOW! It made a huge difference and gave life back to my dull skin - but even better is that it caused NO irritation! I have extremely sensitive skin and my face gets destroyed by most products. The only other moisturizer I've been able to use is the Aveeno Oat Gel Moisturizer, but even that can occasionally give some sensitivity for me (but nothing major). Three Ships is the first set of products that drastically improves my skin without any setbacks. I'm truly grateful! I'm interested to see how the exfoliator will do for me as well.

Hi there. I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your channel. I found you about a year ago and you have saved my skin (without having to break my budget!) I had hormonal acne on my nose and had also developed perioral dermatitis from trying to get rid of it. I suffered with that for a couple of years, until your simple solutions saved the day. So thank you from the bottom of my epidermis!!!

[@barbieblue3336]

What was it

[@tpatel3314]

Dr. Locke! Would love to see the results of the product after you rinsed and moisturized!! It’s ok I still am obsessed with all of your videos . Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@caseyanne967]

I like Derma-E Gentle Jelly Cleanser which has rice powder as the physical exfoliant.

[@Liansz1]

I love the brand: "No 7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion" It's awesome!!

[@carineabidaoud7727]

Thank you. As usual very thorough . Can you do a video on anti aging neck cream vs neck serums.... best recommendation?

[@charleneboeckman8766]

Love the versed!

[@fairykhan4005]

Thank you so much dear. Please review on neck creams and eye creams

[@rorilee9791]

Estée Lauder used to make the most amazing gentle scrub called So Polished. It was wonderful, but they discontinued it. Will have to try this bc I haven’t ever found another one as gentle but effective since.

[@cyndiemcmartin6010]

I’m 70, and told frequently that I appear to be in my forties. I have been physically exfoliating with a complexion brush and sulfolo soap (dermatologist recommended) since my late twenties.

[@pinkformarie]

Can you please tell me what kind of exfoliation brush??

[@cyndiemcmartin6010]

@@pinkformarie it’s just a complexion brush from Sally Beauty Supply.

Hello, are your skin care suggestions geared towards all age groups? I’m 65 and was wondering if you would consider making a video for mature skin.

[@tquirkyt7118]

Two that really changed my skin, 10 years ago when I was having issues…Tacha cleansing grains❤️, and Philosophy Micro-delivery exfoliant❤️ Great video‼️

[@parinazaz4044]

Thanks!

[@Joyjoy-ih1ie]

The best I ever used was Olay microdermabrasion. It had 2 steps. I believe it had lactic acid in the next step. Wonderful. I don't know that they sell it but it was the most effective product I ever had 😀

[@Princess_karen]

I use Tacha pearl powder. It is wonderful

[@amyhundley6858]

I used to use SUGAR on my face. Yes… sugar. I’m so glad I have the information I need now tho.

[@CH-zu7fn]

Wish you would have mentioned all the products you are currently using. Particularly your new evening routine.

[@cuquibaumceramics]

Naturium has a good body exfoliant as well!

[@jeanniebellgrove4059]

Thank you 😃

[@At0micAllison]

I had to look really hard to find this after seeing your short referencing this video. Could you maybe add a link to the short for others?

[@susanshade4665]

So which very creamy skin barrier moisturizer do you use after the exfoliate 3 ships, that you used on your face in this video! Would be nice to know the one you use! Thanks

[@DallasNatureLover]

I use the are Revitalift 10% glycolic acid serum every other night, before tretinoin. I worked up to this after starting at just once a week. I know not everyone can use glycolic acid and tretinoin together.

[@TheBohemianStyle]

Thank you!

[@gailvieth-uv6ml]

What is your favorite skin barrier moisturizer to use after exfoliating?

[@db-gb5xi]

Could you review the L'Oreal Revitalift vit c e + sa serum? Also, the e.l.f. youth boosting retinoid serum which has retinal in it along with skin rocks by caroline hirons which has a retinol 1 serum with bakuchiol/granactive retinoid and retinol 2 with retinal/granactive retinoid and Topicals body retinol, Slather, which also has AHAs.

[@alien.hunter_1243]

Could you pls do a video on large pores?

[@jamiepatton9334]

Versed has an awesome one for the face too.

[@cclarke9301]

I agree!

[@rebeccayoung1833]

Which one? Ty

[@dominiquedeangelo2616]

What would be a good skin barrier moisturizer to use after physical exfoliating? Please thank you 😊

[@heather.nicole]

Help! I've tried all the exfoliates. What works best for me is the neutrogena microdermabrasion system. It was affordable enough to maintain on a regular basis and is the only thing that has helped my acne clear and skin feel smoother. Sadly, they've discontinued it. What affordable at home microdermabrasion device do you recommend?

[@SSab-gk5tr]

Can you please advice what moisturizer can be paired with three ships serum for daytime?

[@anncrosby6157]

What do you think of elmis Enzyme peel thank you so much 😅🌻

[@sandraherrera8351]

Can the use of baking soda mixed with the face cleanser work? what are your thoughts?

[@cassandraskye8689]

What about dermalogica? What do you think about this brand? I haven’t heard you mention them

[@barbieblue3336]

Is the versed day maker microcrystal exfoliater any good? Target has that, not the buff it out

[@gailjeffmoore933]

I use baking soda with CeraVe cleanser and use my fingers to lightly exfoliate, this is my go to and cheap way that I have used for years. My dermatologist says my 69 year old looks great!! I love your videos Maren Locke, thank you for all your great and profession advice. love, GAIL

[@barbieblue3336]

Baking soda is too caustic. Dr Dray has said that. Paula b used to recommend it, but then stopped. She advises against it

[@azuresea8086]

Will the skin always react in some negative fashion if the skin barrier has been damaged?

[@hanntriesfirst]

I got first aid beauty aha body scrub and the pumice in it is so big

[@21972012145525]

What about non combination products? Any you recommend that are straight physical exfoliants? The combination products would be irritating for me

[@dominiquedeangelo2616]

What skin barrier moisturizer should I use on my face asker exfoliate?

[@tanyaturner8507]

Have you tried the Tula one for the body? It is an exfoliating wash and smells like bubble gum!

[@susanmcf1]

I like Paula's Choice AHA/BHA 10 minute peel as a once a week peal on the night I don't use tretinoin in the summer. I don't use an exfoliant in the winter.

[@travay6328]

I want to try that one have you seen results?

[@susanmcf1]

I use it at night, rinse it off after 10 minutes and apply moisturizer. The following day my skin looks smooth and takes makeup beautifully. The effect lasts a week or two.

[@cagla4717]

What do you think about Revolution skincare 0.3% retinol + vitamins & HA? is it good for begginer? Any user?

[@somacarr7528]

I have Roseacia , I saw there are perfume oils in this and mint which I have heard can cause you a flare? Can I use this?

[@brittanykantar6326]

If I have KP, does anyone know if it would be harmful to use a physical exfoliant, in addition to a chemical (lotion/cream) based one? Would it be too disruptive to the skin barrier?

[@marylousilk6420]

Hello Dr. Locke: I love your videos and watch them every time you upload. I have a question, I use Philosophy's microdelivery exfoliating facial wash every morning. It is a physical exfoliator with fine beads. What are your thoughts on this product? I've been using it for years and have had no bad reactions to it, it makes my skin smooth. I would appreciate it if you would respond to my message. Thank you for what you do! Sincerely, Mary Lou (from Pittsburgh, PA).

[@mariamagnusdottir2749]

When does this video start? Does it say anywhere?

[@db-gb5xi]

There are so many rice powder or enzyme scrubs at different price points. Good Molecules has the pineapple one and k-beauty brands like by Wishtrend, Juno & Co, TonyMoly, etc have rice ones. People also seem to forget that simply washing your face with your finger pads is also helping to exfoliate the skin.

[@daynad8104]

Josie Maran has one, too.

[@db-gb5xi]

@@daynad8104 True but I was listing ones that might not cost that much, lol. One of the more popular ones is Tatcha and even Dermalogica.

[@barbieblue3336]

Avoid pineapple

[@barbieblue3336]

Yes to last part. No to first part

[@db-gb5xi]

@@barbieblue3336 It depends on the derm. Dr Alexis Stephens has recommended the Good Molecules pineapple scrub.

[@iwonabies5265]

I found that the easiest and the safest scrub for my skin is a combination of superfine sugar and La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Cleanser.

[@barbieblue3336]

Don't use sugar

[@missmayflower]

@@barbieblue3336 why not? It dissolves before it can do any damage and it’s humectant.

[@pnevlud]

Are there any decent exfoliant pads?

[@genahebert4]

Anyone’s thoughts on the St. Ives apricot scrub? My moms friend has used it for decades and she is 55 and looks 30?!

[@jaharahandromeda8927]

Should be fine. The one that had “issues” was the walnut scrub.

[@andimoehammadarisman9084]

I have chemical exfoliating serum, can you tell me how to apply it please? 1 drop per quadrant of face? How much is enough for chemical exfoliating serum🙏

[@ayushchoubey635]

[@tame77725]

I'm worried now! I use the Loreal glycolic every morning , is that okay ? Or am I damaging my skin?

[@irmaradinson2320]

Me too. And I love it! Is gentle for my dry skin after I use times vit C, moisturizer, sunscreen

[@jaharahandromeda8927]

Probably because that is an acid and what acids really do is burn the skin. You’re better off with a wash cloth in circular motions or a physical yet gentle exfoliant scrub.

[@jenniferdecker1424]

[@rg1whiteywins598]

I have skin like shoe leather. I can use a rough scrubber on my face with no bad effects. Why is this ?

I know this video is not about vitamin C but…… I’m hoping you will answer my question at some point on a video ( I watch all of them ♥️) I travel for work and like to do my morning face cleansing and prep early but may wait to apply makeup If I shower say an hour later and wash my face will that void out my vit C or has it done it’s job and washing won’t effect

[@patriciaboer4648]

Are these good for age 64?

[@patriciaboer4648]

And how often?

[@Donna-cc1kt]

I can only speak for my own face but I can’t be a one-of-kind. I nearly never exfoliate. It’s natural to for skin to exfoliate itself. I exfoliate naturally. A soft wash cloth, a massage with a balm cleanser or other gentle cleansers like Cerave. Let nature do what it knows how. I mean really how else is the whole body exfoliating. I’m not saying it’s why I have great skin (I’m mature) but if it ain’t broke, stop fixing it.
