I'm likely in the minority here but I would LOVE to see a video about treating skin that tends to clog very quickly. I've dealt with this for decades now and given that I'm newly 40 - I'd like to find a way to effectively treat it so I can pretend it's not a thing anymore (lol). Thank you, Dr. Idriss!!! 💖💖💖
Me too and I'm almost 68. I have to say though that Dr. Idriss's recommendation to wash only with water in the am as to not end up stripping the skin barrier is making a difference for me. I can hear my mum yelling at me about the "acid mantle" on my skin over 50 years ago but now it's just so wonderful the doctor is willing to help us all! 😊
Her cleansing cream is wonderful! Your skin feels so soft afterwards you forget to put on moisturizer, because it does not dry your skin out and it is so flattering. I highly recommend!!
I'm 70 (look young for my age!) but I have issues with products causing clogged skin; I get blackheads and whiteheads. What products on your line help with clogged pores? I've listened to many dermatologists on RUclips; You're my fav. Why? Your detailed explanations and charming personality. It's an education and joy listening to you!
Can you make a special video about rosacea? I would love to hear from you about products, all recommendations etc. And please include not only US products, but Europe, K-care as well.
Only using water in the morning has changed my skin! I have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin. Now I rarely break out! I also LOVE the aveeno calm and restore cleanser and serum. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 💚
This is helpful to know, I have the same skin type and have been afraid to skip a morning cleanse for fear of melting into a greasy puddle. Glad to know it's worth sticking it out! P.S. if you like oaty skincare the Purito Oat-in Gel Cream is an oily-sensitive dream, super lightweight but so soothing!
I absolutely love that Aveeno cleanser as well. I stopped using it because they are not cruelty free. That's the only problem with that cleanser but it is really a great cleanser
@@EzraSproutsI live in a very humid place and I’m oily and I thought so but my skin has been clear as hell ever since I only started cleansing w water in the morning but I also think it’s because I’ve started using more lightweight/gel products
I'm dry and I use the Aveeno calm and restore face wash and serum I use the face wash as a 5 minute mask before washing off. It helps reduce my redness..
@ujungwjsn thank you, always useful to hear positive stories from folks with similar skin types. Feel like the oily/acneic + sensitive type gets a bit neglected as it's often assumed sensitive skin is dry. But there's more to it than that! Glad it worked for you anyway :)
I always enjoy watching your Saturday videos! Topics for future shorts or videos: 1. When to use an azelaic acid product with salicylic acid (like Paula's Choice) with a retinol? Use on alternating nights? Use on same nights, if tolerated? 2. Frequency of use of a sulfur cleanser for sensitive skin
Hi Dr. Idriss, I just wanted to thank you about your hate on HAs, lol. I finally tried not to use my HA serum and boy oh boy did my skin thank me the following day. Because I have compromised my skin barrier, I tried cutting out on my skincare routine and just used an eye cream and moisturizer last night. I already saw a difference on how my skin looked and now I understand why you always say we don’t need HA. I might have contradicted your video on HA but I really want to thank you for sharing that one. I’m looking forward to see my skin fully recovered. Thank you very much! 🙏🏼❤️
Which moisturiser do you use for eyes and face? I have compromised my skin barrier too and I’m so confused about which moisturiser to go for or cleanser for that matter. Any recommendations?
You briefly did a short on your beauty blender and the cleanliness. Can we get a Pillow Talk Durm showing us how you actually clean your beauty blender your makeup brushes and the products you use.
For beauty blenders, dish soap does a great job at dissolve the oily product components. Just make sure to rinse and squeeze out well to remove all the detergent, and let air dry completely before storage.
Hi, she recommended the CREAM saliyclic acid cleaner from cetaphil for dry skin people with acne! Mainly because most sa cleansers for acne or anything are more gel or stripping since often made for oily skin. Since creamier textures are what people with dry skin should look for in cleansers she recommended it 🥰
I have very sensitive, very dry skin and have eczema and mild rosacea. As I’ve gotten older my skin has gotten more sensitive. Even brands like Neutrogena, CeraVe, Aveeno etc don’t work anymore. A few years ago I discovered Vanicream which has minimal ingredients. I love it. No more breakouts, redness, flakiness or eczema. My roseacea flares have lessened a great deal.
Have you ever tried a retinol? My skin is so similar to what you described and I want to try a Retinol but would love to hear from someone else with similar skin type!
@@brookewatson9531 I have the same conditions and successfully use Avène RetrinAL0.1. I believe they also make a lower strength that you might consider trying.
I’m in a similar situation to you. But I worry about Vanicream because I tried their daily facial moisturizer and it severely dried out my skin. I’m not sure what their cleanser is like though.
I have combo sensitive skin and for me the La Roche posay Toleriane Dermo nettoyant face and eyes cleanser has worked very well for me. It does not sting the eyes.
I thought I had really oily skin until I was 30. Turned out I was aggressively stripping and oils were fighting back. Started cleansing and moisturizing correctly and I haven’t been greasy a single day since, even in humid conditions. I’m now more so on the dry/normal side. Also already ordered your cleanser and SUPER EXCITED to slap it on my face 😂
Hi Dr.Shereen, My question revolves around red light therapy and tretinoin. I currently use tretinoin at night and I just recently bought a omnilux mask. I use tretinoin 3 times a week and on the off nights use the mask, but according to their website, "For users taking prescriptive levels of Retin A such as Tretinoin we do not recommend the use of light devices. Those using cosmetics/skincare products containing retinol should read the skincare instructions carefully for warnings and precautions in relation to exposure to light. Retin A should be discontinued for at least 5 days before performing light therapy treatments". For context, I am a 43 year old woman who has had melasma in the past and some fine lines. Also, a few years ago I had a mole removed on the side of my face that was squamous cell carcinoma in situ. I get nervous about combining the two things and I don't hear anyone talking about this. Could you please explain why the website advises against using both things.
Would be good to see a feature on debunking skincare tips and myths especially ones we grew up in the 90s like for example washing face with hot water to open pores and then cold water to close pores
I think it’s so important to show the basics like washing your face! And the tip to use a clean cloth each time you wash makes so much sense. I have started only rinsing my face in the morning. It’s going to be interesting to see how it feels in the summer. Your videos are awesome. Thanks!
I would love to see a video focused on eye care. From cleansers to moisturisers to other products that can be used to treat /maintain the skin around the eyes, products that shouldn’t be used etc. There’s not enough information on skin care products focusing on the eyes. And it would be great to see your perspective on it!
WOW I am amazed at how well it takes off your eye makeup. Proof of the towel!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO BE SOLD IN CANADA AGAIN, please. Canuck’s wash too eh! Love you
I sent my daughter to your channel. She’s a 22 yr old college senior with great skin. Now is the time to really start upping her skincare game~at least learning about proper skin prep from a board certified derm and not from Tik Tok. There’s really SO much info that your channel covers, that couldn’t possibly be done in office due to time constraints. I just love this content and I don’t mind being called a little nerd as a term of endearment. 🌺🤙🏼
Hopefully, your young adult daughter will follow through on this and take your advice! Maybe she is in the "lucky top 10%" of skin where you NEVER have an issue!
Hi! Little nerd from Toronto here. I've been following your content since the pandemic and I've learnt so much from you. I have a request/ recommendation or a video - Could you break down the different types of spot treatments for acne (and the ingredients in them), specifically explaining if there are any 'types' of breakouts that you recommend specific ingredients/ spot treatments for? Thank you!
Good morning so i purchased the depuffer and moisturizer from your website since sephora was out of stock. I received them yesterday tried this morning and im in love they feel wonderful on my skin sink right in no greasiness. Now gonna go back for more products to try. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your honesty and inspiration ❤
Could you please do a video on getting the best skin for a special occasion in six months time? When would be best to do a chemical peel and/or microneedling and other procedures, so that the skin heals and looks its best by the day of the event?
Thank you for adding cleanser to your amazing line of products. I just ordered it and am excited to try. Congratulations on the continued growth of your company! 🎉❤
I have oily skin and have been washing my face with a cleanser at night every day, then just rinsing my face with water in the mornings... for four years already. I haven't broken out ever so I think my face is doing fine :D my cleanser is a soap with alpha arbutin, salicylic acid, and collagen (my PIH is less visible now compared to four years ago)
As a person with sensitive, reactive skin in general and with active perioral dermatitis, I would love a video from you about products, recommendations etc. Also include not only US products, but Europe, K-care as well :) Thanks for amazing and informative video as always!
I just wanted to say I have come to love your face wash. I used to strip my makeup with makeup remover wipes creating trash and stressing my skin out. This face wash is safe on eyes and removes my makeup first try. I also have a history with developing styes and this has reduced that for me. Anyways. People discuss cost but I am just grateful with something with only the ingredients needed without unnecessary ingredients and its lasted me months because a little goes a long way. Thanks for what you do!
I saw one of your shorts about only washing the face at night. I gave it a try and my results are positive. Truly changed the balance and condition of my skin. No more oily T Zone, dehydrated cheeks and clogged pores. I am now using CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser with ceramides. Love this routine and simple budget friendly cleanser as not only does my skin behave better it is saving me money. Thanks for the great tip!
I LUV Kate Somerville cleanser I've used it ever since I saw ur video about the best sephora finds! And I'm really greatful for ur help and recommendations for different skin types AND ur humour! The way u explain things, Gosh, u make understanding everything so easy! After watching this video I became influenced and I'm considering buying pillowtalk derm soft wash lol I've been able to help my grandma who is in her 70s to clear her skin and give her a better understanding of how to take care of her skin. She is also a fan of urs and loves ur videos! I also would love it if u speak Arabic in ur next video, Shereene❤ Looking forward to see u next Saturday! :)
Hi dr shereene , ❤love being one of your nerds . We absolutely love your content and your knowledge throughout this series. Thank goodness for your support and expertise. Can’t wait for more of your amazing videos xx
Strap in this a long on. I have sensitive dry skin. I am 30, female, never struggled with acne in all my teen years. In the last 6 months(winter in dry environment) I started washing my face in the evening with cetephil gentle cleanser (for normal to dry) and then applying gentle lotion(dry to normal). I finish by drying with a clean towel. That went well. Here's where the problem started...first of all, always washed my hands first. I started wearing sunscreen regularly everyday. Most chemical gave a rash... I have olive completion so tinted mineral is best, I guess. Eucerin sensitive mineral face, looked nice but made the skin above my top lip have a dry flaky rash. I think it was the straight Zinc 24%. I treated with Hydrocortisone. I have really like Cetaphil Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisterizer. It blends into my olive skin well. Feels nice and easy to reapply. In the evening I remove with gentle Micellar Cleansing Water and gentle clenser followed with lotion. Since trying to wear spf lotion everyday I am breaking out with acne! I have several white heads and a few cystic, a stye.... I have had dry skin all my life how could I possibly over mostrize!?! Help me wear the damn sunscreen!
I was JUST thinking I need some recommendations for cleansers! Can't wait to hear them, this came at the perfect time. Also, I really hope your products become internationally available soon💗
I like to use Ponds unscented cold cream to clean my face. After I put it on my face, I gently wipe it off with cotton rounds. It cleans very well. Dissolves dirt and makeup like magic. You can see the dirt on the white cotton round pads. Ponds cold cream has been used for generations by many women. It's a tried and true skin product!
YAY!!! Finally received a shipping notification...Looking forward to receiving my Soft Wash, Flash Mask and Active Seal will arrive on Monday. Would love to see one video with am & pm face wash routines...and yes, I actually own 14+ microfiber face cloths and several white hand towels for blotting. They even go with me on every vaccay. Yep...I'm a nerd!
I would love that you show us how to wash our face. I have just bought your products but not the wash . I asked at Sephora if you had a face wash and they said ., no .. so i was disappointed that they didn’t have any idea that you had a face wash. So i will just order it. Love all your great advice.
Hi Dr. Idriss your videos and products( all of them) are crucial in my day to day routine ever since I discovered you. I just wish you would deliver abroad because is a whole story for me to get the products😊. Today’s video is very enlightening on cleansing the face. The split on skin types is very good as sometimes we get lost in too many products available. Maybe you could do same kind of videos on all kind of products split by skin type: like exfoliants for dry/oily…hydration for dry/oily…etc. I know there are videos on all of these I am just suggesting on organizing them like this one. Thank you so much for your usefull information
I would love to see a video on skincare for people with severely sensitive and dry skin. I have a sun allergy, contact dermatitis from most things and lupus. Plus recurrent staph infections that are related to immunodeficiency. It's literally hell trying to introduce anything. I wish I could come see Dr. Idris!
For everyone mentioning she didn’t discuss dry acne prone skin, yes I think it would have been nice to cover. However, at least to me, she gave us quite a bit of info that could also apply to this skin type. For instance, I see a lot of people in the comments saying, “I use BHAs and/or AHAs every night and I still breakout,” but she’s mentioned before that actives are not meant to be used everyday for most people. It’s like imagine if you used a body sugar scrub on your face everyday. Your skin would be stripped, right? At least that’s how I perceived it. Thus, I would use the types of cleansers for dry skin everyday mainly she said, then use your active cleansers only 1-3x/week and see if you have improvements. Also, bonus, she said gel cleansers could work for everyone mainly. Idk these are just my suggestions based on what I’ve heard and seen from her videos
I've heard one influencer say to wash with a gentle cleanser in the a.m. so products absorb better 🤔 Do you wash your neck and chest the same as well? Awesome video 💜
Love the video! My gripe is dry hands. I wash my hands many times and good hygiene is über important to me, but it is costing my hands getting dry & nails that have lines. What would you recommend?
EVERYTHING PRENATAL & POSTNATAL would be incredible. After my first my skin was dry and my hair… lost so much while breastfeeding and still seems dry. Am pregnant w my second and hoping the journey is more educated this time around! And in truth there’s very little out there on these topics even though motherhood is not a new trendy thing
I always look forward to your videos. You have the unique talent of being super informative and fun to listen to. I've learned a lot. Thank you! Question: does long term use of retinol (25 years) cause your bones to weaken. A clinical nutritionist told me this. I've not been successful in finding a clear answer online and I know you have a special skill and hunting down and destroying untruths when it comes to skincare ;)
Even as a cystic acne teen and early 20s. I actually like creamy hydrating cleansers better. Seems to help my face feel better. I was still an oily slick at the end of the day but it just felt better. But I do wish I thought about double cleansing back than.
Thank you for the useful information!!! Very informative, as always 🙏🏼 Could you make a video about luxury skincare (designer brands)? Have been looking tirelessly for a video that would discuss their skincare- benefits/efficiency/“unique” ingredients vs cost. Brands like Dior, Chanel, Lancome, Estee lauder, Tom Ford and so on. Please please!!! 🙏🏼
Go to EWG, type in the product, and they will tell you all the bad stuff in it. I’ve had a double mastectomy and Dr. Idriss has had a lumpectomy so it’s safe to assume her products are “safe”. She’s not in the EWG yet. But the high-end name brands are. You’ll be surprised. I certainly was. Much love from one nerd to another ❤❤❤
Hi Dr. Idriss! I’ve been a nerd for many years. I remember hearing Nam Vo speaking so highly of you and from there alas. I was a nerd for life! Could you cover topics relating to: -HS -Maybe tips for MUAs layering products, like what is really important to apply the day of vs. everyday Also! Please launch an SPF down the line! Thank you for all that you do and have done! 💜
I would appreciate a video or short about skincare based on the environment where we live based on the skintype. I know, it sounds like a lot, but for example, I would like a topic “using a retinol if we live in a country where is always sunny”. 🤔 or which moisturizer and how to moisturize if it’s humid…
Here's a short she posted on moisturizing and climate. She has another full video on it. It was super helpful for me! ruclips.net/user/shortsZ0yggum1U2Q?si=vpXxl99jXn__cxwn ruclips.net/user/shorts2q10LnlPN4U?si=jOFSIW9pcktjIQeX I remember her addressing retinol and the misconception that the sun is an issue, but I don't know what video that is. One of the retinols... Hope you can find that one!
Please please please let us know your opinion on Glow recipe, I loved their toner and it looks like it has all the right ingredients but I need the Dr Idriss tick! So glad James Welsh put me onto you
Most cleansers either dry my skin out or cause breakouts. I use a cold cream cleanser by mama nature and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I have sensitive combination skin (oily t zone with some dry areas on my cheeks) and this seems to 'balance' the oils and my skin feels thoroughly cleansed afterwards. It is almost like using a cream soap. I also use their apricot and avocado face cream and overall I am more than happy as my skin is feeling 'normal' after years of trying one fad product after another and spending fortunes on five step routines! A fun thing about the cold cream cleanser is it can also be used as your daytime moisturiser! Though I love the face cream so much I haven't tried this yet. My sister kept stealing my cold cream because she said she loved the feel of it and it made her makeup 'glide on'. Now I keep it hidden so she can 'glide off' and buy her own :)
Try topical antiandrogens. I manage my hormonal acne immaculately through ketoconazole 2% (once a week! it's drying.) and azelaic acid (chef's kiss! beautiful ingredient.) Other options are topical spironolactone cream, topical finasteride, and of course, the golden grail for most acne cases: retinoids. I'm not a professional by any means, so definitely cross-reference my recommendations with your healthcare provider for best results! Hope this leads you in the right direction ❤
I really love your educational videos as they help me better understand my skin and work on improving it. I wonder tho, why don't you ever recommend CeraVe products in your videos? I've heard its a great brand for repairing your skin barrier and ive been personally using the CeraVe moisturizing cleanser for a while and im pretty happy with it but when i see your recommendations i start thinking that i might be able to find even better products for my skin.
I would ask if i can speak in Arabic or French It could be easier Second Weird that the double cleansing suits my skin Because u said once that it causes pimples on your face For me It magical!!!! By the way i watched 90% from all your videos and reels and shorts Im like studying all what you say Over years The creme with zinc oxyde I think didn’t suits my skin It becomes smoother but not miraculous Real argan oil and sweet almond oil after moisturizing cream its gorgeous By the way you are amazing And by the way im Lebanese I really love your method You are gifted I hope to receive from you an answer I never did this before Thanks a looooooot
Hello Dr Shereene! I love your work on RUclips, it is very helpful! I am aware it is not major topic for many people, but I am already struggling with hyperpigmentation and dont want to change the lifestyle that much. So maybe I'll be the lucky one. You always mention - be aware of the environment you live in. Could you do even a short one about best recommendations for the hot, humid and ALWAYS sunny places? Maybe water/sweat resistant? Or how many times we should reapply sunscreen if we have big sun exposure? Are sun sticks/zinc good to use? Or what to use when you do watersports (kitesurfing) but want to have good protection? I would be really grateful :) Have a good Sunday!
Ok amazing! a few questions please... 1- will these wash towels clean nicely in the washing machine? even if there is makeup on them? 2- what do you think about the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for acne-prone skin?
I have asked for this one before but I will ask again - I would love a video for managing redness not from rosacea. Between KP, allergies, and just generally have reactive fair skin, I feel like getting my redness under control is a constant battle. What are tricks that we can do that are not acne or rosacea specific?
Hi! Thank u for helping us choose cleansers based on our skin types but can i ask u to make a separate video about what are the gentle cleanser brands that u can recommend to us? If u cannot its ok.❤❤
Greetings from Zaragoza, Spain. I have followed you from the beginning and I thank you, infinitely, for everything you teach us💜. I would love to try all your products... 🤩 When will you be able to ship to Europe?
Just saying that I discovered your videos recently, and I watch them daily. You are a kind of a god to me right now, I believe every word you say, and this is not something I say, EVER!. Love your knowledge,ove your explanation technique and also your jokes. ❤ And also your skin lookes amazing so you probably know what you are talking about 😅 Can you please explain SLS and stuff we see in the ingredients list at most of the soaps, cleansers, shampoos etc.
I would love to see how you’d recommend washing 50+ skin without the wash cloth. I find a cloth, however gentle, just too rough and irritating on my skin with continued use. Can the creamy gel cleansers simply be washed off to still thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen etc? Thank you so much, so appreciate your professional advice in these videos ❤

I’m loving it too! My eyes are really sensitive and it takes off my eye makeup without any irritation at all!

I think it’s so important to show the basics like washing your face! And the tip to use a clean cloth each time you wash makes so much sense. I have started only rinsing my face in the morning. It’s going to be interesting to see how it feels in the summer. Your videos are awesome. Thanks!
🙌🙌🙌
I would love to see a video focused on eye care. From cleansers to moisturisers to other products that can be used to treat /maintain the skin around the eyes, products that shouldn’t be used etc. There’s not enough information on skin care products focusing on the eyes. And it would be great to see your perspective on it!
WOW I am amazed at how well it takes off your eye makeup. Proof of the towel!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO BE SOLD IN CANADA AGAIN, please. Canuck’s wash too eh! Love you
Please make a video on hand and foot care along with body care as well ❤
I sent my daughter to your channel. She’s a 22 yr old college senior with great skin. Now is the time to really start upping her skincare game~at least learning about proper skin prep from a board certified derm and not from Tik Tok. There’s really SO much info that your channel covers, that couldn’t possibly be done in office due to time constraints. I just love this content and I don’t mind being called a little nerd as a term of endearment. 🌺🤙🏼
Hopefully, your young adult daughter will follow through on this and take your advice! Maybe she is in the "lucky top 10%" of skin where you NEVER have an issue!
Hi! Little nerd from Toronto here. I've been following your content since the pandemic and I've learnt so much from you.
I have a request/ recommendation or a video - Could you break down the different types of spot treatments for acne (and the ingredients in them), specifically explaining if there are any 'types' of breakouts that you recommend specific ingredients/ spot treatments for? Thank you!
I was a tester for the soft wash and its gooooood! My full bottle arrived yesterday!
Good morning so i purchased the depuffer and moisturizer from your website since sephora was out of stock. I received them yesterday tried this morning and im in love they feel wonderful on my skin sink right in no greasiness. Now gonna go back for more products to try. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your honesty and inspiration ❤
She is an excellent dermatologist
Could you please do a video on getting the best skin for a special occasion in six months time? When would be best to do a chemical peel and/or microneedling and other procedures, so that the skin heals and looks its best by the day of the event?
I have been dealing with acne for years! Now I finally understand how to treat my skin because of your videos thank you so much!❤️
Thank you for adding cleanser to your amazing line of products. I just ordered it and am excited to try. Congratulations on the continued growth of your company! 🎉❤
I have oily skin and have been washing my face with a cleanser at night every day, then just rinsing my face with water in the mornings... for four years already. I haven't broken out ever so I think my face is doing fine :D my cleanser is a soap with alpha arbutin, salicylic acid, and collagen (my PIH is less visible now compared to four years ago)
As a person with sensitive, reactive skin in general and with active perioral dermatitis, I would love a video from you about products, recommendations etc. Also include not only US products, but Europe, K-care as well :) Thanks for amazing and informative video as always!
Please make video on bad ingredients in skincare routines
I agree especially in sun screen
Plsssss totally needed
YESSS!!
💯
'Bad ingredients' is subjective and personal depending on your own skin.
Finally someone gave advice about sensitive skin AND acne😭 thank you!
There are TONS of videos about sensitive skin and acne
What are you going on about?
I just wanted to say I have come to love your face wash. I used to strip my makeup with makeup remover wipes creating trash and stressing my skin out. This face wash is safe on eyes and removes my makeup first try. I also have a history with developing styes and this has reduced that for me. Anyways. People discuss cost but I am just grateful with something with only the ingredients needed without unnecessary ingredients and its lasted me months because a little goes a long way. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you doctor ❤ I have mature dry sensitive skin. I have been able to find products for my skin that feel good ❤❤❤ Hurray THANK YOU!
I saw one of your shorts about only washing the face at night. I gave it a try and my results are positive. Truly changed the balance and condition of my skin. No more oily T Zone, dehydrated cheeks and clogged pores. I am now using CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser with ceramides. Love this routine and simple budget friendly cleanser as not only does my skin behave better it is saving me money. Thanks for the great tip!
I love what you said about washcloths. I won't even use a bath towel more than once.
I LUV Kate Somerville cleanser I've used it ever since I saw ur video about the best sephora finds! And I'm really greatful for ur help and recommendations for different skin types AND ur humour! The way u explain things, Gosh, u make understanding everything so easy! After watching this video I became influenced and I'm considering buying pillowtalk derm soft wash lol
I've been able to help my grandma who is in her 70s to clear her skin and give her a better understanding of how to take care of her skin. She is also a fan of urs and loves ur videos!
I also would love it if u speak Arabic in ur next video, Shereene❤
Looking forward to see u next Saturday! :)
My FAVORITE cleanser is the Gleanser from Prequel. The amount you get for the price is unparalleled, and the formulation is fabulous!
Hi dr shereene , ❤love being one of your nerds . We absolutely love your content and your knowledge throughout this series. Thank goodness for your support and expertise. Can’t wait for more of your amazing videos xx
Aw thank you so much! 🥹❤️
My fav dermatologist ever ❤
Your love for science and dermatology inspires me to want to go back to school and push my career a little further
I just used the Soft Wash for the first time, and I feel like my skin is happy!
Strap in this a long on.
I have sensitive dry skin. I am 30, female, never struggled with acne in all my teen years.
In the last 6 months(winter in dry environment) I started washing my face in the evening with cetephil gentle cleanser (for normal to dry) and then applying gentle lotion(dry to normal). I finish by drying with a clean towel. That went well.
Here's where the problem started...first of all, always washed my hands first. I started wearing sunscreen regularly everyday.
Most chemical gave a rash... I have olive completion so tinted mineral is best, I guess.
Eucerin sensitive mineral face, looked nice but made the skin above my top lip have a dry flaky rash. I think it was the straight Zinc 24%. I treated with Hydrocortisone.
I have really like Cetaphil Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisterizer. It blends into my olive skin well. Feels nice and easy to reapply.
In the evening I remove with gentle Micellar Cleansing Water and gentle clenser followed with lotion.
Since trying to wear spf lotion everyday I am breaking out with acne!
I have several white heads and a few cystic, a stye....
I have had dry skin all my life how could I possibly over mostrize!?!
Help me wear the damn sunscreen!
I was JUST thinking I need some recommendations for cleansers! Can't wait to hear them, this came at the perfect time. Also, I really hope your products become internationally available soon💗
I hope so too! We are working on reaching the international nerds! 🫶
Hi Shereene, please do a video about best scalp/hair sunscreens. Would love to hear your opinion and recommendations. Thanks!
Dr. Idriss could you do a video on the best lip balms?
Especially balms with SPF!
@@unabashedlybashful yes I agree
I like to use Ponds unscented cold cream to clean my face. After I put it on my face, I gently wipe it off with cotton rounds. It cleans very well. Dissolves dirt and makeup like magic. You can see the dirt on the white cotton round pads. Ponds cold cream has been used for generations by many women. It's a tried and true skin product!
YAY!!! Finally received a shipping notification...Looking forward to receiving my Soft Wash, Flash Mask and Active Seal will arrive on Monday.
Would love to see one video with am & pm face wash routines...and yes, I actually own 14+ microfiber face cloths and several white hand towels for blotting. They even go with me on every vaccay. Yep...I'm a nerd!
Thank you!!! 14+ a true nerd lol 🙌
Great video!! I would love to see a video about anti-aging products for mature skin that is sensitive.
I would love that you show us how to wash our face. I have just bought your products but not the wash . I asked at Sephora if you had a face wash and they said ., no .. so i was disappointed that they didn’t have any idea that you had a face wash. So i will just order it. Love all your great advice.
I’ll be buying your new cleaning product, congratulations! Yes please create a video for each type and weekly routine thank you!
I would like to try it too but I am not in the US.
Hi Dr. Idriss your videos and products( all of them) are crucial in my day to day routine ever since I discovered you. I just wish you would deliver abroad because is a whole story for me to get the products😊. Today’s video is very enlightening on cleansing the face. The split on skin types is very good as sometimes we get lost in too many products available. Maybe you could do same kind of videos on all kind of products split by skin type: like exfoliants for dry/oily…hydration for dry/oily…etc. I know there are videos on all of these I am just suggesting on organizing them like this one. Thank you so much for your usefull information
great review and video! love your hyper fade and moisturizer, would love to see a routine for DRY hormonal ACNE prone skin
I would love to see a video on skincare for people with severely sensitive and dry skin. I have a sun allergy, contact dermatitis from most things and lupus. Plus recurrent staph infections that are related to immunodeficiency. It's literally hell trying to introduce anything. I wish I could come see Dr. Idris!
For everyone mentioning she didn’t discuss dry acne prone skin, yes I think it would have been nice to cover. However, at least to me, she gave us quite a bit of info that could also apply to this skin type. For instance, I see a lot of people in the comments saying, “I use BHAs and/or AHAs every night and I still breakout,” but she’s mentioned before that actives are not meant to be used everyday for most people. It’s like imagine if you used a body sugar scrub on your face everyday. Your skin would be stripped, right? At least that’s how I perceived it. Thus, I would use the types of cleansers for dry skin everyday mainly she said, then use your active cleansers only 1-3x/week and see if you have improvements. Also, bonus, she said gel cleansers could work for everyone mainly. Idk these are just my suggestions based on what I’ve heard and seen from her videos
Perfect I have been needing some new cleanser recommendations
I've heard one influencer say to wash with a gentle cleanser in the a.m. so products absorb better 🤔 Do you wash your neck and chest the same as well?
Awesome video 💜
I would love a video on the difference between men's and women's skincare, including men's skin that clogs easily.
Love the video! My gripe is dry hands. I wash my hands many times and good hygiene is über important to me, but it is costing my hands getting dry & nails that have lines. What would you recommend?
please talk about safe for pregnancy skincare next!
EVERYTHING PRENATAL & POSTNATAL would be incredible. After my first my skin was dry and my hair… lost so much while breastfeeding and still seems dry. Am pregnant w my second and hoping the journey is more educated this time around! And in truth there’s very little out there on these topics even though motherhood is not a new trendy thing
I always look forward to your videos. You have the unique talent of being super informative and fun to listen to. I've learned a lot. Thank you!
Question: does long term use of retinol (25 years) cause your bones to weaken. A clinical nutritionist told me this. I've not been successful in finding a clear answer online and I know you have a special skill and hunting down and destroying untruths when it comes to skincare ;)
I would love for you to talk about the neck. How to help a neck that’s already in alittle trouble.
Pull down all of your skincare that you use on your face to your neck.
Even as a cystic acne teen and early 20s. I actually like creamy hydrating cleansers better. Seems to help my face feel better. I was still an oily slick at the end of the day but it just felt better. But I do wish I thought about double cleansing back than.
Hi Dr. Idriss. Could you do a video on body discoloration and the best products to use for this please? Thank you!
Thank you for the useful information!!! Very informative, as always 🙏🏼
Could you make a video about luxury skincare (designer brands)? Have been looking tirelessly for a video that would discuss their skincare- benefits/efficiency/“unique” ingredients vs cost.
Brands like Dior, Chanel, Lancome, Estee lauder, Tom Ford and so on.
Please please!!! 🙏🏼
Go to EWG, type in the product, and they will tell you all the bad stuff in it. I’ve had a double mastectomy and Dr. Idriss has had a lumpectomy so it’s safe to assume her products are “safe”. She’s not in the EWG yet. But the high-end name brands are. You’ll be surprised. I certainly was.
Much love from one nerd to another ❤❤❤
Can you please do a quick video about micro needling? I’ve been seeing/hearing a lot about it lately for acne scar reduction and wrinkles.
Your wash looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it. I’m just curious if you’ve tried the Gleanser from Prequel and your thoughts on it if you have
Watching you on Hoda and Jenna, you look so pretty. Great job as always!!!
Thank you! I'm also loving the Beauty of Joseon Refreshing Cleanser, its has the perfect balance (I use it after the cleansing balm) my face loves it!
Hi Dr. Idriss! I’ve been a nerd for many years. I remember hearing Nam Vo speaking so highly of you and from there alas. I was a nerd for life! Could you cover topics relating to:
-HS
-Maybe tips for MUAs layering products, like what is really important to apply the day of vs. everyday
Also! Please launch an SPF down the line!
Thank you for all that you do and have done! 💜
Also! Please let us know if you are looking to expand your team! I’d love the opportunity to work on your team!
Request: I would love a video about hair removal on the face, i.e. how waxing affects your face, and laser hair removal, etc..
I would appreciate a video or short about skincare based on the environment where we live based on the skintype. I know, it sounds like a lot, but for example, I would like a topic “using a retinol if we live in a country where is always sunny”. 🤔 or which moisturizer and how to moisturize if it’s humid…
Here's a short she posted on moisturizing and climate. She has another full video on it. It was super helpful for me!
ruclips.net/user/shortsZ0yggum1U2Q?si=vpXxl99jXn__cxwn
ruclips.net/user/shorts2q10LnlPN4U?si=jOFSIW9pcktjIQeX
I remember her addressing retinol and the misconception that the sun is an issue, but I don't know what video that is. One of the retinols... Hope you can find that one!
@@hannahmillen28 oh I missed this! Thank you, it is super helpful. ☺️
on apprend tellement avec vos videos, vraiment tres interessant
Please please please let us know your opinion on Glow recipe, I loved their toner and it looks like it has all the right ingredients but I need the Dr Idriss tick!
So glad James Welsh put me onto you
A demo face washing only video would be great!
ruclips.net/video/JqQy5HfYk9U/видео.htmlsi=ApfeKoTerEjWXrfF
I would love a video about double cleaning, when we may use it and when not.
Most cleansers either dry my skin out or cause breakouts. I use a cold cream cleanser by mama nature and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I have sensitive combination skin (oily t zone with some dry areas on my cheeks) and this seems to 'balance' the oils and my skin feels thoroughly cleansed afterwards. It is almost like using a cream soap. I also use their apricot and avocado face cream and overall I am more than happy as my skin is feeling 'normal' after years of trying one fad product after another and spending fortunes on five step routines! A fun thing about the cold cream cleanser is it can also be used as your daytime moisturiser! Though I love the face cream so much I haven't tried this yet. My sister kept stealing my cold cream because she said she loved the feel of it and it made her makeup 'glide on'. Now I keep it hidden so she can 'glide off' and buy her own :)
Could you do a video on hormonal acne (what it is, and HOW TO STOP IT😭)
Try topical antiandrogens. I manage my hormonal acne immaculately through ketoconazole 2% (once a week! it's drying.) and azelaic acid (chef's kiss! beautiful ingredient.)
Other options are topical spironolactone cream, topical finasteride, and of course, the golden grail for most acne cases: retinoids.
I'm not a professional by any means, so definitely cross-reference my recommendations with your healthcare provider for best results! Hope this leads you in the right direction ❤
I really love your educational videos as they help me better understand my skin and work on improving it. I wonder tho, why don't you ever recommend CeraVe products in your videos? I've heard its a great brand for repairing your skin barrier and ive been personally using the CeraVe moisturizing cleanser for a while and im pretty happy with it but when i see your recommendations i start thinking that i might be able to find even better products for my skin.
I am from India... i watch your videos just to watch you and your beauty...
I would ask if i can speak in Arabic or French
It could be easier
Second
Weird that the double cleansing suits my skin
Because u said once that it causes pimples on your face
For me
It magical!!!!
By the way i watched 90% from all your videos and reels and shorts
Im like studying all what you say
Over years
The creme with zinc oxyde
I think didn’t suits my skin
It becomes smoother but not miraculous
Real argan oil and sweet almond oil after moisturizing cream its gorgeous
By the way you are amazing
And by the way im Lebanese
I really love your method
You are gifted
I hope to receive from you an answer
I never did this before
Thanks a looooooot
I hope your skincare line starts shipping to Australia soon!!! 🇦🇺
Bonjour depuis la France! Thank you for your top quality videos! Will your products be one day available in Europe? That would be great 😍😍😍
Hopefully soon! We are working on it! 🫶❤️
Hello Dr Shereene! I love your work on RUclips, it is very helpful! I am aware it is not major topic for many people, but I am already struggling with hyperpigmentation and dont want to change the lifestyle that much. So maybe I'll be the lucky one. You always mention - be aware of the environment you live in. Could you do even a short one about best recommendations for the hot, humid and ALWAYS sunny places? Maybe water/sweat resistant? Or how many times we should reapply sunscreen if we have big sun exposure? Are sun sticks/zinc good to use? Or what to use when you do watersports (kitesurfing) but want to have good protection? I would be really grateful :) Have a good Sunday!
Ok amazing! a few questions please... 1- will these wash towels clean nicely in the washing machine? even if there is makeup on them? 2- what do you think about the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for acne-prone skin?
Subscribed! I'm so happy I found Dr. Shereene Idriss!!!
I now us BUTT PASTE!
I have asked for this one before but I will ask again - I would love a video for managing redness not from rosacea. Between KP, allergies, and just generally have reactive fair skin, I feel like getting my redness under control is a constant battle. What are tricks that we can do that are not acne or rosacea specific?
My red light mask has done wonders for me. I don’t have rosacea either but suffer with constant, year-round allergies.
Hi! Thank u for helping us choose cleansers based on our skin types but can i ask u to make a separate video about what are the gentle cleanser brands that u can recommend to us? If u cannot its ok.❤❤
Thanks, would u pls go through sensitive skin , what is a sensitive skin? How to treat it ,etc..
But I don't find any problem with cerave hydrating or Cera ve hydrating cream to foam cleansers
Greetings from Zaragoza, Spain. I have followed you from the beginning and I thank you, infinitely, for everything you teach us💜. I would love to try all your products... 🤩 When will you be able to ship to Europe?
Just saying that I discovered your videos recently, and I watch them daily. You are a kind of a god to me right now, I believe every word you say, and this is not something I say, EVER!.
Love your knowledge,ove your explanation technique and also your jokes. ❤
And also your skin lookes amazing so you probably know what you are talking about 😅
Can you please explain SLS and stuff we see in the ingredients list at most of the soaps, cleansers, shampoos etc.
Which cleanser is best for skin that’s both dry & highly sensitive?
I would love to see how you’d recommend washing 50+ skin without the wash cloth. I find a cloth, however gentle, just too rough and irritating on my skin with continued use. Can the creamy gel cleansers simply be washed off to still thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen etc? Thank you so much, so appreciate your professional advice in these videos ❤
If you don't want to dilute the cleanser by applying to wet skin, why do you add water when it's in your hands? Doesn't that do the same thing?
Please sell the pink eye masks and the mini sizes. Thank you.
