I’ve had all kinds of skin issues, from dryness to redness, but after trying the subliminal affirmations on borlest, my skin has become so much healthier and balanced. I’m really impressed!
I have extremely dry and sensitive skin. Spending a lot of time on my laptop and experiencing sleepless nights due to work often cause me dark circles under my eyes and dark spots from too much sunlight. My skin is easily affected by the sun since it's so delicate. It's difficult for me to find the correct skincare stuff. A friend suggested liiitlextra rice berry face serum and sunscreen to me. I chose to give them a try, and they really impressed me. I never know how they would work, but actually they did nice for my skin. I'm amazed at how my face glows now and how smooth my skin tone is. They have Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Black rice water, which helped reduce my dark spots, fix my skin tone, and protect it from aging and sun damage. It also keeps my skin moisturized and calm. I've learned something important: if you want good skin, you need to moisturize it regularly.
When my work keeps me up all night, this Riceberry Vitamin C serum is my go-to solution. It works to mask the effects of tiredness, lessening dark spots and giving my skin a much-needed glowing boost. This way, I can approach the day with self-confidence.
I LOVE the fact you have nothing to sell, but just the intent of sharing your knowledge. I always come back to your videos before buying a product I'm not sure about. Thanks a lot.
Nothing to sell? They provide links in the description for the products they like and so they get money from everyone here who goes and buys those products.....
People think they are just giving advice for free but they are also establishing themselves as the go to professional in terms of skincare and I'm happy about it.
Dr. Maxfield seems like a very happy, positive person, and it seems it doesn’t take a lot to make him start laughing. We should all be like that especially with what the world is experiencing these days.
I am barely five minutes in.... and you have solved a mind-boggling mystery for me. I am literally screaming thank you at my screen! I have been extremely happy with the results of Ambi fade cream for roughly a decade, unfortunately I did not have control over my adult acne causing unsightly hyperpigmentation scars with that said my beloved Ambi had literally disappeared from the shelves. I could not understand why, recently it re-emerged with a totally new look, much smaller packaging now prominently stating "hydroquinone free". I was lost and disappointed because the old product worked wonders for my skin......FINALLY thanks to this video I understand why. I know it's a long comment but I needed to give context. Again thank you SOOOOO VERY MUCH for this informative content. Much appreciated!
I had this huge dark spot on the side of my face and I decided to give the differin gel a shot. After a little over a week, the differin gel made this dark spot almost disappear. I will continue to use this product because I think it will eventually make this spot go away completely within another week or so. I have tried so many things for this dark spot and nothing has worked. Finally a product with results. Thank you for this recommendation!!!!!!
I love that you brought up your own experiences with treating patients. I would say maybe call it "professional anecdotes" as I find often people use the term anecdote as a reason to dismiss a claim. Your clinical anecdotal evidence is A LOT different from what a rando on the internet says about a product or ingredient. I think that should be talked about more :)
I didn’t think anything could help with my acne scars, but after listening to the subliminal affirmations on borlest for a while, I’ve started to notice they’re actually fading. It’s such a relief.
Thanks so much for this awesome advice!!! There are many channels out there that are regular people just giving their Opinions on homemade concoctions to try for age spots, but having videos like this that are actual doctors reviewing products to show what works is awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do so
To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the subliminal affirmations on borlest, but my skin has improved so much. I’ve had fewer breakouts and it’s looking clearer every day. So happy I found this!"
At the 10:14 mark I thoroughly enjoyed both dermatologists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the zitsticka patches. Giving us consumers the autonomy to choose. Essentially, the cost effectiveness (# of patches to use) vs versatility of treating/targeting a specific problematic area (micro target area). Each epidermis is different (whether a lot of hyperpigmentation or a few of hyperpigmentation); yet, I love all the skincare options (excluding alcohol ingred.) that are available! Thank you for this informative video :)
OMG, been fighting mine with retinol for years but they were getting tougher to lighten. Went to my dermatologist and she froze the ones on my face and neck... awesome!!! Differin helped a little but the dermatologist treatment took them off completely, didn't hurt, was quick, and it wasn't very expensive. Thanks for sharing, love your vids.
love y'all so much. thank you!! thanks for calling our individual products that can be irritating. we appreciate you guys being helpful regardless of what brand it is.
Great video guys! Struggling with my skin right now in so many ways but I am trusting the process.... that woman is super sweet!! Her names is Ophelia Nichols and she spreads positivity and compassion through social media 🌼
“He’s so dewy he’s having a hard time getting the patch to stick.” Of you guys make me giggle at times. Thank you for the invaluable information and laughter.
I actually have had good results from the Dark Spot Microdarts patches from Peach Slices. That is a small part of the Peach & Lily company and they have started to sell those & the acne spot dots at CVS. Walmart is also starting to sell a lot of these types of things & expanding their Korean skin care lines as well.
I recently had a age spot that appeared on my lower cheek and got obviously dark even though I religiously wear sunscreen. I started putting a 20% Salicylic acid peel directly and only on the spot avoiding the skin around it. It got darker, dried up, and peeled right off. I this twice a day for 5-7 days. My skin is fair-light like a level 2 on the Fitzpatrick scale
I went to CVS 2 weeks ago and was looking at the differn products and I was lucky to find 2 bottles of hydroquinone! I had very few drops of the product from last year but I am so lucky I found a bottle! I love it!
I SO wanted to like Faded given the ingredient list- but could not handle the smell (which gave me expired baby powder). If you use fragranced topicals on top it may work for you, but glad to have an alternative brought up in this video
OMG I am so glad you posted this, it seems like when I hit 40, the dark spots were all over my arms. I have been using my face products (Original Differin AM & Azelaic Acid in PM) AND a dark spot minimizer cream on my arms, it seems to have helped. So mad, I have always tried to wear sunscreen here in AZ! I have seen improvement now that its been some time. I just need to remember to do it when I do my face!
Honestly, my skin has never looked this good. Whether it was breakouts or rough texture, the subliminal affirmations on borlest helped smooth everything out. It’s amazing how much has changed!
🙌🏼 Thank you so much for the informative video. I’ve been working on fading my dark spots for not days, weeks or months - but years 😳! I think I’m on about year 6, but it’s finally gotten more manageable through diligence and lots of SPF. I also discovered the Topicals Faded through one of your previous videos & notice slow, yet steady results. Any other videos focusing on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I just commented to say the same thing. With over the counter products, this takes years and lots of sunblock. Which is something I didn’t realize until later in life because sunblock irritated my eyes and skin but I’m using what least irritates me as much as possible. I even got my hands on hydroquinone to push the fading faster. Of course I won’t use it for a long period of time and will use it and break for awhile and then try it again while using other stuff like niacinamide, vitamin C, peels etc
Faded is great, along with retinoids like Tretinoin and prescription azelaic acid. It's not what most people want to hear, but some dark marks can take YEARS to fade and if you're prone to hyperpigmentation including PIE/PIH and melasma, you need an entire routine that is geared towards treating that consistently and continuously over years. Wearing sunscreen not only when outside but also inside is also key.
I'm using Faded with 20% Azclear, plus Avene Retinaldehyde. Good result too 👍 Downside is now my face is so much brighter than my body skin. Now, I have to care about my body skin too. 😅 I have both Versed dark gel and Faded. Faded is so much better.
I have that question I am using tretinoin for 4 years and I want to add faded in my nighttime routine (now I am off of hydroquinone for melasma) to keep results but in faded web site said faded cannot be used with tretinojn like how to add it to my routine ?
@@chuletonize I use Faded right after Tretinoin in the same routine and have no problems doing so. They might caution against it but once your skin isn't sensitive and you're used to high strength actives it should be fine. 🙌🏾
@@chuletonize I have the cream formula and I tend to like that to sink in first and kind of do the work Tret is known for and then follow along with the pigment inhibitors 😊 But it's totally up to your individual preference and the texture of your Tretinoin formulation. My usual routine for Tret nights after cleansing is niacinamide serum, Tret, Faded, and then moisturizer. Sometimes I'll use an azelaic acid (Finacea) instead of the Faded.
I started going to a dermatologist because my acne and dark spots were out of control. They did some extractions and an exfoliating facial. My face immediately looked better but my hyper pigmentation was still there. Before I went back to my 2 week check up I used the faded cream for the first time and let me tell you that even the dermatologist was surprised when she saw my face of how good my skin was looking by the second visit.
@@sadiaali8360 it’s from the brand Topicals and it’s the faded serum for dark spots and discoloration. My advice if you wish to take it is buy the mini version. I apply it once a week no more since it can cause your skin to purge. Moisturize before applying the cream. It does have an unpleasant smell when you apply but it dissipates after a few minutes. Hope it works for you like it did for me.
I've struggled with breakouts forever and nothing seemed to work. I’ve been listening to the subliminal affirmations on borlest for a few weeks now, and I swear my skin has never looked this clear. I didn’t expect it to work, but it really did.
I would love for y’all to go over Good Molecules products especially their Discoloration Correcting Serum, Discoloration Correcting Body Treatment and their toners. Plz plz would love to hear what y’all think. PERIODT 💯🙏
Your outtakes are fabulous!! Anyone laughing until they cry is pretty great! Thanks for the alternatives to the Differin. Retinol has been helping with my almost 60 yrs of hyperpigmentation but anything that can help lighten them faster is a very good thing!!
@@mariafavoured4581 I use the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ 05% Power Serum. It's right around $30 at Walmart. It says you can use it nightly but I've worked my way up to M-W-F and I like the results thus far.
I’m not sure if you read these comments (especially on older posts) but first, thank you for your professional opinions and knowledge! I’ve recently started using Faded and due to having niacinamide in many other products I use daily, I’ve tried to find the percentage and reach out to the company. So far, no response. Their website FAQs do not disclose due to proprietary information of their formula. I am no stranger to this concept however when dealing with OTC products, it’s not uncommon to share some active ingredient percentages and it’s becoming the industry standard for skin care products. I was interested in this product due to your review, the ingredient list, and also seeing it founded by a pediatric dermatologist. Is there any other way for us to get clarification on some of the ingredient percentages of this product? Perhaps you may be aware of independent studies or other sources that guide consumers. If you read this far, thank you so much for your time.
I’ve always had bad skin, especially acne, and I was tired of trying all the expensive stuff. The subliminal affirmations on borlest have honestly been the one thing that’s made a real difference. My skin feels so much better now.
I’ve had skin pigmentation since my youth. I used to say well it’s from dad who had olive complexion and the white was from mom. When I had kids , it became more evident. In my fifties I was prescribed some creams from the dermatologist but it worked and it didn’t. My skin became extremely sensitive, sometimes itchy, couldn’t go out in the sun etc. I stopped using any cream because out of the blue I got eczema on my eyelids so I couldn’t use anything. My face was irritated a lot so I only used Cera Ve from the drugstore, face & eyelids. I’m in my sixties now and recently I noticed that the pigmentation is hardly noticeable, some areas I would say it’s gone and where it was raised it’s flat. I STRONGLY BELIEVE ITS BECAUSE I eliminated carbs from my diet. Since I was young my diet was 100% carbs, now I would say it’s 20% maybe less some weeks. I cut out carbs for health reasons and this helped my skin. I’m 100% sure about this for myself. 👍❤️🥳
I use tranexemic acid, bha, azalaic acid with niacinimide, and spf, and in pm, hydrating toners, tretinoin, and cream moisturizer and they all have helped
Love moma tatter tot… so cool to see her on this video. Thank you so much for this information. I am going to try one of these. I use the Hero spot treatment already. 😊
I currently use Faded. It does indeed take some time to see results! We’re talking months, however I have seen results and I am pleased! The only drawback for me is that formula causes my skin to be oily.
I recently started using Faded . Let’s see how long it takes time . I was bit disappointed to know it takes months 🥲. Kojic acid should work fast though
@@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385 Hello! Well dont allow the lengthy time to deter you. Everyone’s skin is different. 😊 My expectations are high because I put a lot of time and effort into maintaining my complexion. I am brown skinned with a yellow undertone so my dark spots in my eyes are what I notice. Have faith 😊It does work along with Vitamin C brightener.
I used faded and used it every night and after about 2 weeks my sun mark was gone!! I used the entire thing thereafter and it has not returned… i want to try the eye patches and moisturizer now
Been using Faded since last year since Doctorly’s prior recommendation as I have pressure dark marks on my nose bridge from old ill fitting glasses. It is working slowly as I have to wear them and there’s still light pressure from new ones (have a heavy scrip). I may add in micro darts for additional support. Love Dr Maxfields laugh and face palm!
@@Jennifer12342 It is the glutathione. It is a sufur amino acid. I heard they had recently reformulated it without the glutathione (or with much less) because of the odor complaints. That is a bummer IMO b/c I care more about performance than smelling like roten eggs for a few minutes. (I don't use "Faded" as I formulate my own skincare, but the glutathione smell fades for me...and I use a decent %.) I suggest giving the reformulation a try.
Have you guys discussed how dark spots affect different ethnicities (Caucasian vs. Asian. Vs. African) and if treatment would differ based on ethnicity in another video?
FYI That creator is Mama Tot. She just lost her son. He was murdered the day before his 19th birthday. She’s the sweetest lady. 💔 Thanks for the beneficial info.
She's adorable. She's been through a lot of heartache and trauma, and she keeps that cuteness going for her fans in front of the camera. Offilia Nichols is her name.❤
Thank you for making this video Doctors! I have trouble with acne forming dark spots even if I don't pick at them. Hopefully the products work on my skin!
Now that makes sense. The product changing the ingredients. I used Differin In the past and my dark spots completely cleared about 2 months later. I stopped using it and I went tanning and it all came back. I bought it again and the same product had little to no affect.
Seriously, God bless you both ! There are no other Dr's out there giving expert FREE, honest advice and opinions AND not trying to sell you something. As many people as you have helped, including myself, if and when you did have your own products, I would be the first in line to purchase. Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart. Blessings to you and yours, Doctors. 💐
There is no real treatment for split ends... all that products can do is glue them together so that it looks like healthy hair... the only way to help is cut it off.... I know that sucks... But after that you can do very good treatments to grow them healthy again 🙃
I used Differin and after using the entire bottle it didn't do anything for my sunspots. Was very disappointed since I live in Canada and had to order it from the US.
Ambi cream has been around for years and years give that a try. Of course vitamin C and niacinamide also since now the hydroquinones are no longer available. I agree with the doctor that was a much better treatment
Dr's can you please do an in depth video on the differences in syringoma, fordyce spots, and milia? People get all of them confused and dr's are often misdiagnosing these. I have "chicken skin" under my eyes and I've been told they were all 3 of these by different derms...thank you!!!
Any suggestions for sun spots on my legs and arms (mostly legs)??? I love the mighty patch for the occasional acne and so satisfying when you take it of and see that white spot on it, lol. Love your videos! Thank you
I have oily olive skin, I still have breakouts, I found that scubbing your skin with a good polyester cloth works wonders! I use Retin A 5%, love it! I have been on it for 36yrs! No wrinkled skin,but I have very good genes, my skin isn't thin, but I believe the best skin lighter is benzoyl peroxide! Takes the red out! I love ivory soap bc it's just right for my oily skin, it drys it out a little too much but I'd rather have a little dryness than oiliness,I get so many compliments about my appearance! See, woman are scared to scubb their skin, bc they were told it damages it, not for me! Hope this helps!
Faded is awesome. It doesn’t smell very nice but only for a few minutes and it does the job. I just started using the vitamin C from Timeless in the morning and it seems to work well with using the Faded at night.
Can you guys do a video on the Ordinary glycolic acid and Paula's choice exfoliating liquid? Please I have both and don’t know if I should be using both or not 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
PLEASE MAKE A ULTIMATE SKINCARE ROUTINE VIDEO FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION ON DARK SKIN (specifically black skin) 😭😭😭 I’m not acne prone but I just CANNOT get rid of my scars
Hydroquinone is highly oily and when I used it on my acne prone skin, it clogged pores and resulted in more bumps on my face over time. I had to stop using it altogether.
I’ve had all kinds of skin issues, from dryness to redness, but after trying the subliminal affirmations on borlest, my skin has become so much healthier and balanced. I’m really impressed!

Hope it works for you like it did for me.
@@reynahemsworth7535 is there any serum or cream which can remove acne scars??
@@reynahemsworth7535 please guide
@@ayeshamaqsood5378 laser treatments and skin grafts are really the only way to get rid of acne scars.
I've struggled with breakouts forever and nothing seemed to work. I’ve been listening to the subliminal affirmations on borlest for a few weeks now, and I swear my skin has never looked this clear. I didn’t expect it to work, but it really did.
I would love for y’all to go over Good Molecules products especially their Discoloration Correcting Serum, Discoloration Correcting Body Treatment and their toners. Plz plz would love to hear what y’all think. PERIODT 💯🙏
Thoughts and prayers to her and the family ❤️🙏🏻
Nothing finer then hunky, intelligent, informative and down right handsome cute doctors! Thanx guys 😙
You two are treasures. Funny, smart, informative and handsome. Thanks for all you do.
I have struggled with melasma for 10 years. Thank you for this video
Did this faded topically help you?
I learn something new every time I watch Doctorly and the doctors are easy on the eyes. Do you have advice for skin tags on the neck?
Your outtakes are fabulous!! Anyone laughing until they cry is pretty great! Thanks for the alternatives to the Differin. Retinol has been helping with my almost 60 yrs of hyperpigmentation but anything that can help lighten them faster is a very good thing!!
Which retinol do you use?
@@mariafavoured4581 I use the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ 05% Power Serum. It's right around $30 at Walmart. It says you can use it nightly but I've worked my way up to M-W-F and I like the results thus far.
@@dionline88 thank you so very much
@@dionline88that sounds like someone explaining they’re gaming pc specs to someone lol
I’m not sure if you read these comments (especially on older posts) but first, thank you for your professional opinions and knowledge! I’ve recently started using Faded and due to having niacinamide in many other products I use daily, I’ve tried to find the percentage and reach out to the company. So far, no response. Their website FAQs do not disclose due to proprietary information of their formula. I am no stranger to this concept however when dealing with OTC products, it’s not uncommon to share some active ingredient percentages and it’s becoming the industry standard for skin care products. I was interested in this product due to your review, the ingredient list, and also seeing it founded by a pediatric dermatologist. Is there any other way for us to get clarification on some of the ingredient percentages of this product? Perhaps you may be aware of independent studies or other sources that guide consumers. If you read this far, thank you so much for your time.
So needed this today ! Not only are you doctors, but you’re also mind readers
I’ve always had bad skin, especially acne, and I was tired of trying all the expensive stuff. The subliminal affirmations on borlest have honestly been the one thing that’s made a real difference. My skin feels so much better now.
I love my faded by topicals! I think it worked amazingly for my dark spots after I pop my pimples (I know, not great, but it’s just so satisfying)
Hey I just had a quick question on how you put it on. Did you like put it on the spots and let it air dry? Or did you rub it into your skin?
Do you know if you can put it in your undereye? Por hyperpigmentation as well?
Dr Max and Shah, you're too funny and informative
I’ve had skin pigmentation since my youth. I used to say well it’s from dad who had olive complexion and the white was from mom. When I had kids , it became more evident. In my fifties I was prescribed some creams from the dermatologist but it worked and it didn’t. My skin became extremely sensitive, sometimes itchy, couldn’t go out in the sun etc. I stopped using any cream because out of the blue I got eczema on my eyelids so I couldn’t use anything. My face was irritated a lot so I only used Cera Ve from the drugstore, face & eyelids. I’m in my sixties now and recently I noticed that the pigmentation is hardly noticeable, some areas I would say it’s gone and where it was raised it’s flat. I STRONGLY BELIEVE ITS BECAUSE I eliminated carbs from my diet. Since I was young my diet was 100% carbs, now I would say it’s 20% maybe less some weeks. I cut out carbs for health reasons and this helped my skin. I’m 100% sure about this for myself. 👍❤️🥳
Thanks for that info. I also have a high carb diet, and my skin looks like trash.
I did keto for a month and noticed my skin appeared brighter and lighter. Diet is definitely a big part of how our skin looks.
I always look forward to you both saying “Here we go”, followed up by the into music. 🤗
I use tranexemic acid, bha, azalaic acid with niacinimide, and spf, and in pm, hydrating toners, tretinoin, and cream moisturizer and they all have helped
What kind of azalaic acid do you use?
@@hadesisbaby I use the one from naturium!
@@baileydubs thanks!!
Please do a video on pregnancy skin care for dark spots & hyperpigmentation.
Love moma tatter tot… so cool to see her on this video. Thank you so much for this information. I am going to try one of these. I use the Hero spot treatment already. 😊
Been using Differin for a couple weeks now. Still patiently waiting for some results to show.
You guys explain skin care really nicely ...ma sha Allah thank you for uploading
It's always a delight to watch your videos, keep up the good work 💙
My favorite acne patch is Acne Dote by Alba Botanica. They blend in the best, lightly textured like skin. Also, they contain Tea Tree, Witch Hazel.
I started watching your videos recently. Love you guys the way you explain in a simpler day.
Patiently waiting for the stretch mark video 🥰🧿🌩
Love the bloopers!!
I currently use Faded. It does indeed take some time to see results! We’re talking months, however I have seen results and I am pleased! The only drawback for me is that formula causes my skin to be oily.
@@vxnessa3866 you can only get it online if I’m not mistaken @ Ulta
I recently started using Faded . Let’s see how long it takes time . I was bit disappointed to know it takes months 🥲. Kojic acid should work fast though
@@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385 Hello! Well dont allow the lengthy time to deter you. Everyone’s skin is different. 😊 My expectations are high because I put a lot of time and effort into maintaining my complexion. I am brown skinned with a yellow undertone so my dark spots in my eyes are what I notice. Have faith 😊It does work along with Vitamin C brightener.
@@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385update??
I used faded and used it every night and after about 2 weeks my sun mark was gone!! I used the entire thing thereafter and it has not returned… i want to try the eye patches and moisturizer now
Thank you Gentlemen! You give wonderful information for free. So appreciate it a shop from your sites.
Been using Faded since last year since Doctorly’s prior recommendation as I have pressure dark marks on my nose bridge from old ill fitting glasses. It is working slowly as I have to wear them and there’s still light pressure from new ones (have a heavy scrip). I may add in micro darts for additional support. Love Dr Maxfields laugh and face palm!
How do you get past the smell? I ordered a tube from Sephora and I thought I could get over it or it wear off, but it lingers.
@@Jennifer12342 It is the glutathione. It is a sufur amino acid. I heard they had recently reformulated it without the glutathione (or with much less) because of the odor complaints. That is a bummer IMO b/c I care more about performance than smelling like roten eggs for a few minutes. (I don't use "Faded" as I formulate my own skincare, but the glutathione smell fades for me...and I use a decent %.) I suggest giving the reformulation a try.
@@debSGSS I have acne scars on my face can i use faded
Thank you guys this video helped me out.
Have you guys discussed how dark spots affect different ethnicities (Caucasian vs. Asian. Vs. African) and if treatment would differ based on ethnicity in another video?
Checkout Dr Vanita Rattan
Also Latinas 😉
@@yurivillasenor7031 anyone can be Latino dummy
@@yurivillasenor7031 you’re right but aren’t Latina a mixed of asian( aboriginal), Caucasian and African ? So it would just depend on each person.
@@olkdks Yeah Latino is not an actual ethnicity you could be a mix of almost anything.
I really enjoy these two! Thank you!
Thank you to both of you for such in depth information on issues that affects so many people. I am very grateful to the two of you.
FYI That creator is Mama Tot. She just lost her son. He was murdered the day before his 19th birthday. She’s the sweetest lady. 💔 Thanks for the beneficial info.
I’m so very sorry Mama Tot……😥
I love all the doctorly videos. I have learned so much watching all there videos since I became a new subbie little over a week ago ❤❤❤❤❤
She's adorable. She's been through a lot of heartache and trauma, and she keeps that cuteness going for her fans in front of the camera. Offilia Nichols is her name.❤
That statistical significance vs clinical significance soapbox you got on for a bit had my pulse racing. 💗👏👍
Thank you for making this video Doctors! I have trouble with acne forming dark spots even if I don't pick at them. Hopefully the products work on my skin!
Now that makes sense. The product changing the ingredients. I used Differin In the past and my dark spots completely cleared about 2 months later. I stopped using it and I went tanning and it all came back. I bought it again and the same product had little to no affect.
Depends. If it hormonally caused, it is an ongoing fight
This couldn’t of come at a better time for me. Thank you!!
Seriously, God bless you both ! There are no other Dr's out there giving expert FREE, honest advice and opinions AND not trying to sell you something. As many people as you have helped, including myself, if and when you did have your own products, I would be the first in line to purchase. Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart. Blessings to you and yours, Doctors. 💐
Mama Tot is a wonderful person.
Could you please make some videos about hair care, specifically split ends treatment
They are unfamiliar with split ends... they cut their hair very often 😆
@@infinitigirl29 lmao 🤣
There is no real treatment for split ends... all that products can do is glue them together so that it looks like healthy hair... the only way to help is cut it off.... I know that sucks...
But after that you can do very good treatments to grow them healthy again 🙃
@@marshak6717 dermatologist also treat hair and nails not only skin
@@myiannagreen8399 Agreed and that’s what I do. Trim it every 3-4 months but each time the hair comes to a certain length it comes back
you might have been silent but your facial expressions while watching that clip at 0:49 said EVERYTHING lol
I used Differin and after using the entire bottle it didn't do anything for my sunspots. Was very disappointed since I live in Canada and had to order it from the US.
Love Mama Tot and Doctorly!!!
What would you recommend for someone with rosacea and dark spots to use? Thank you for your content...I love your channel!
You guys are so happy explaining the dark spot. I think for me is niacinamide, i will try
We need a three step or four step skincare line specifically for hyperpigmentation. 🙏🏾🙂
Ambi cream has been around for years and years give that a try. Of course vitamin C and niacinamide also since now the hydroquinones are no longer available. I agree with the doctor that was a much better treatment
YES, YES, YES!!!
3 step or 4 step? What? Why not a ONE STEP? You want MORE steps? LOL
You guys rock! Just love you and the sciency breakdown!
Dr's can you please do an in depth video on the differences in syringoma, fordyce spots, and milia? People get all of them confused and dr's are often misdiagnosing these. I have "chicken skin" under my eyes and I've been told they were all 3 of these by different derms...thank you!!!
Yes!!!! I’m so curious about this too. I also have chicken skin under eyes.
Yes please
Intense pulse light (IPL) treatments are the way to go! Quick, complete turnaround and fabulous.
Any suggestions for sun spots on my legs and arms (mostly legs)??? I love the mighty patch for the occasional acne and so satisfying when you take it of and see that white spot on it, lol. Love your videos! Thank you
I have oily olive skin, I still have breakouts, I found that scubbing your skin with a good polyester cloth works wonders! I use Retin A 5%, love it! I have been on it for 36yrs! No wrinkled skin,but I have very good genes, my skin isn't thin, but I believe the best skin lighter is benzoyl peroxide! Takes the red out! I love ivory soap bc it's just right for my oily skin, it drys it out a little too much but I'd rather have a little dryness than oiliness,I get so many compliments about my appearance! See, woman are scared to scubb their skin, bc they were told it damages it, not for me! Hope this helps!
Faded is awesome. It doesn’t smell very nice but only for a few minutes and it does the job. I just started using the vitamin C from Timeless in the morning and it seems to work well with using the Faded at night.
Same here
I use the same products and they work well together.
Are you using 10 or 20 percent vit c?
@@darshanashah3948 I use the 15% vitamin C.
@@darshanashah3948 I’m using the twenty. They run sales regularly on the website. You might want to see if they run a Fourth of July sale.
Can you guys do a video on the Ordinary glycolic acid and Paula's choice exfoliating liquid? Please I have both and don’t know if I should be using both or not 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Faded has done WONDERS for my dark spots! I love it!😁😍😍😍
How long have you used it
@@ms.faiththomas4372 its been over 6 months but less than a year.
PLEASE MAKE A ULTIMATE SKINCARE ROUTINE VIDEO FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION ON DARK SKIN (specifically black skin) 😭😭😭 I’m not acne prone but I just CANNOT get rid of my scars
Hydroquinone is highly oily and when I used it on my acne prone skin, it clogged pores and resulted in more bumps on my face over time. I had to stop using it altogether.
I am so happy for your help on so many valuable topics. It’s really invaluable. 😝
