Love your videos so helpful, its like having my own dermatologist

[@mnop1774]

Just found your channel and I'm already hooked! What a great resource for all of us trying to sort through the endless skincare options. Thank you!

[@faceonnailsdonehairdid]

And congrats on the growth of your channel and KZbin finally realising you deserve more visibility. I've been watching your channel on and off for about 3 months and I've always thought you deserve more and that your channel would blow up one day- great to see your hard-working paying off. Hope you keep these wonderful videos coming.

New to using facial products. Thanks for making this informational video. This is my summary Steps 1. Cleanse 2. Vitamin C 3. Moisturizer with sunblock 4. Make up

[@stephpolka]

You are incredible - the way you teach is amazing!! I'm So So grateful to have found your channel!!!

[@kaystanley9107]

Just found your station I love that you give a recommendation of good products and affordable prices you seem like a very caring person

[@abbeys6123]

Another great video, love the way u get straight to the point and break everything down, making it easy to digest.

[@juliequates9529]

SO SO helpful! You're clear and concise. I really appreciate your work that goes into these, can't wait to learn more! I'd love your recommendations on not only what we pit on the outside but what we put on the inside (supplements, water, etc). And any suggestions on natural oils that could be helpful in skincare (castor, E, Rosehip etc...).

[@annmarieknapp]

As a fellow doctor (PhD neuroscientist here and psych professor) I actually get questions about my skin because I take good care of it. But, I spent some real money on skin products. My students don't have that tiny of money and I wanted to help them.

Such a thorough and honest review, love it, thank you!

[@aida6047]

Just wanted to let you know how helpful this video was, I was always lost when to use vitamin c, when to add retinol, when to add other products. This helps simplify on what we really need. Keep making content like this!

[@kyvidal]

LOVE your videos! I’ve been an esthetician for 6 years and I really appreciate the way you explain skincare and the new perspective it can give on knowledge I might already have and just general refreshers of the basics. You’re awesome!! Look forward to more content from you ❤️

Not only is the information really great, but your presentation is so polished and well organized that it's easy to get all of the need to know information.

Absolutely LOVE your videos. Obsessed ! Finally I understand skincare and not just all fancy words. This is so amazing. I am so happy I found you !

[@melanievandonge7196]

Thank you so much for your helpful, in depth advice! I have rosacea prone skin and would love to see a video on a good anti aging skin care routine for rosacea; along with recommended products! I’m so afraid to try new products because of it!

[@antonellamargiotta9673]

Thank so much for your valuable advices. I really appreciate what you do for us (“normal people “) and I find it admirable of you to suggest products for low budgets. I have introduced vitamine c in my skin care routine recently so It is too early to say something about that. I just wanted thank you!

[@20danna08]

I absolutely love your videos. So professional yet clear for the normal consumer. That talent! No doubt!

[@lisaaustell8563]

I have just started watching your videos and appreciate your honesty along with solid information. I am 61 and have just revamped my entire skin care routine based on your advice. So far so good. Thank you!

Yes, please keep them coming Dr. Locke! I love your medical grade vs. drugstore skincare. Brilliant thought process. 🙏😊

[@LindaJohnson-rf7kz]

You had me at budget! I would love to hear some information on rosacea, and recommendations on products and/or ingredients that are worth researching further to determine if I want to add them to my current routine. Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us!!

[@rosemaryabeldano1069]

Can you incorporate this vitamin C with Derma.E anti-wrinkle toner or Anti-wrinkle cleanser from Derma.E.Ive been using these products for some time now but you mentioned about not using Retinol .The toner and facial cleanser from DERMA.E,contain Retinol.Should I be concerned?

[@mgranger5637]

Love seeing a dermatologist wearing makeup. Some other professes against it. I look forward to your informative budget-saving videos. Thanks a bunch, doc. xoxo

Have had sensitive skin all my life and have been able to use this successfully for about 2 years. Love and appreciate your videos.

[@alyssaf5006]

I am so happy to have come across your channel! Skin care is really confusing and you keep it simple. I only just found you but am happy to continue to learn more about this area and what to use as I get older!

[@little.fat.tomato]

I loved this video! So informative and I love how you showed how to incorporate it into your skin and when. I love that you recommended a product and explained why. I would love a similar video regarding retinol, where you recommend a product and break down how to use it and why. Love your videos!

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

That video is coming up next. I'm so excited to share it soon. Thanks for the comment and following along :)

[@MarMore13]

Great video! Very informative. Thank you. I love that you talk about drugstore options.

[@sandraball7583]

Thank you for sharing your information. I am new to skin care at the age of 71. I love the sun and see what it has done to my skin is disheartening. I have been watching your videos and learning so much. Following you has been amazing. Thanks again.

[@lindag277]

As a pharmacist, I really enjoy your videos and how you don’t shy away from the active ingredients and doses, contraindications and especially love that you are not sponsored. I endorse your videos to patients suffering from acne or anyone wanting quality information on skin care products.

[@florencepearce7782]

This presentation was so informative I sure learned things that I didn't know. Just to let you know I'm 74 years old and I really am particular about my facial products. I do use the CeraVe facial cleanser but I will be buying the CeraVe vitamin c because I have not been sure what to purchase in vitamin c but now you've explained it I am fully appreciated thank you

[@KR-ei2fw]

Your videos are the absolute BEST! I learn so much. I’ve purchased so many products, not understanding why or how to use and you’ve helped educate me.

[@kristinagoodwin186]

You are my absolute favorite that I follow!🤗 Very informative! Thank you!

[@Randilynn66]

This was a very pleasant presentation. I started watching you when you only had about 20,000 subscribers maybe even less I’m glad to see your channel grow

[@traceysmith311]

I just received and started using the Cerave Vitamin C so am happy to see that you have great things to say about it.

[@Becks17111]

I really enjoy your videos. They're so well organized, just amazing. Can you make a video about YOUR specific day and night skincare routine? I'd love to see it.

[@shaysmith94ify]

I absolutely love how thorough your videos are! Thank you thank you thank you 😊

[@she0589]

Thanks for this precious advice. Going to include that in my treatment for sure. It will be useful to give some advice on fungal infection underarms that leaves marks and dark skin. Thanks Doc!

[@elainenj3188]

Thank you so much. I’m going to try both the CeraVe C serum and the SA cleanser. I appreciate how you have explained everything! 🥰

Love your concise to the point presentation. Love you eyebrows- so much easier looking at your brows!

[@marnilove7942]

I just found your channel and I’m so grateful for your content. Not only can this information help me with anti aging products but also it helps me figure out what products to try for my teenagers skin. Thanks so much! I’d love to see a video on eye creams and foundations or CC/BB creams too. Thanks again!

[@shannansheesley]

Wonderful video!! I'm so glad I found your channel!! ❤️ I recently bought the Cera Ve Vitamin C because you mentioned it previously and I love it!! Could you possibly do a video on some affordable nighttime anti-aging creams? Thank you so much!!! 😘❤️❤️

[@kellycondrycooper]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I would love you to do a video for sensitive and rosacea prone skin care routines.

[@AllyKit]

Yes please. We watch a whole video only to find out we can’t use so many of these products, or it is not mentioned at all. A dedicated video on what we CAN use for anti-aging and skin brightening? So far I am doing well on adapalene 3x a week since I moisturize before and after. Also my skin is much less red after starting CeraVe products (niacinamide) but it could really use some brightening and exfoliation. We never get to use the good stuff like SA, AHA, BHA, Vit C etc. 😢 What can we use instead please?

[@kms5306]

So happy this video is here! This is 2nd time I’ve watched it; I needed a refresher course on this topic! Just opened 2nd tube of CeraVe Vit C. Starting to see results 🥰!

[@andreacassidy4100]

I find your videos very helpful on skin care. They are very informative and straight to the point. Thank you.

[@cestlavie005]

Wow, you a natural in front of the camera, especially as an educator, let alone doctor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m going to follow you on all your social media accounts!!

Glad I just found you..will be following you and your advise. Honest and transparent

[@zizzie4081]

Thank you for these excellent videos. I am a doctor too, and I find they are so thorough and well organized, that you have answered all my questions by the end. I have been using this product as you recommend for 4 months and I am beginning to see an improvement. Can’t thank you enough. I would be very interested in the follow up video you suggested you might make, particularly what products you recommend that have a higher concentration and how to incorporate ferulic acid. Thanks and blessings to you.

[@farensalonzo98]

Amazing video honestly! Very informative. I love CeraVe products, thank you for sharing.

[@kgroeneveld4675]

Thank you for all the great information. This is very helpful in making informed decisions. Appreciate you!

Love, love all the videos you post... thanks hun !!!🤗💗

[@maureenmacdonald5259]

Soon to be 65, I hope it's not too late for a serious skincare regimen. I like what your video explained, been doing some comparisons with other online info. My dermatologist recommends the CeraVe SA cleanser but he also recommends $$$ skin products & lip fillers for fine lines and wrinkles above my upper lip, I don't want to go that route.

[@gbeana81]

The in-depth explanation with pros/cons, and what not to use it with was super helpful! I like being informed before talking to my derm about treatment options. I used to love the cerave vitamin c but stopped using it when I started following the routine my derm and I worked out. I have been thinking of adding vitamin c back in. I didn’t know it’s not good to use with benzoyl peroxide. I use retin a daily and benzoyl peroxide 3 days a week. It’s good to know that I might still be able to use vitamin c on my non-BP days. Thanks!!

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

Glad you are getting your routine figured out. It can be a trial and error process and take a bit of time. But its so worth it in the long run!

[@Wombat1420]

You are so generous to share your knowledge! Thank you!!!

[@BoricuaGirl69]

So happy to have found your channel. Thank you so much for putting out such informative videos. I’m bing watching on Thanksgiving 💕

[@maureengreen617]

In this quiet week between Christmas and New Year's Day, I'm binge-watching you and learning so much! Before I found you, I had dismissed drugstore skincare products as overhyped and under-performing. Not anymore. My 2021 resolution will be to move into Target, Walmart and CVS in search of sales of your recommendations, stopping everything--even pulling the car over if necessary (lol), to watch every new video you post. This is life-altering. :)

@@TheBudgetDermatologistgreat channel 😀 I'd love to see that. Could that also include nickel allergy excema? My skin is very weird and sensitive, f.ex. mineral based products irritate my excema. I am also wondering if you have heard of the skin smelling bad after caprylic/capric acid? My skin and every fabric (clothes, sheets and even mask) smell bad after applying coconut oil or creams with caprylic/capric acid. I smell like an old humid house, I can only find how to smell good with this stuff.

Also bought the Australian Gold from your recommendation. It has a great texture and overall look. I forgot to apply moisturizer first before the first time trying it, lol. It was the first time ever that my oily skin had a mat finish all day though.

@@monermccarthy7198 I completely agree! I was just saying that's how it goes. I should've mentioned that these doctors are examining you it just may seem fast. Sometimes you just have to ask a question I believe most doctors have no problem giving you an answer.
