Well, we needed the facts, now we have them! In my case, I was suspicious bc I felt the prices were too good to be true. Now I have confirmation that my suspicions were well-founded!💕
She literally is only trusted MD on RUclips. She’s crazy intelligent and doesn’t take crap sponsors just to make an extra buck .. so refreshing. Thank you Dr dray! Also I literally changed my skin after finding her videos just By learning so much I was doing wrong.
I've been using Vanicream face wash 2x a day, the Daily Facial Moisturizer in the morning and the Moisturizing Cream at night to a damp face and my 60 year old skin has never looked better! I also use Tretinoin on top of the cream, no irritation!! Thanks Dr. Dray you're the best!
Right, because the other derms are being paid by susan yara It's kinda sad actually, but since skin gurus became really big, doctors now BEG them for a spot on a video or a mention on instagram. No dignity at all
@@anthonysmith8900 she doesn’t have to try certain items because she knows the science behind them. She’s speaking scientifically. How many influencers or gurus do you know that supposedly try things and claim it works for them, only to for A) the same individual to be struggling with their skin 6 months later and B) to have a dermatologist or chemist breakdown the product and explain why it’s ineffective or problematic to the skin. I would like to note that she did describe using several of the products.
@@anthonysmith8900 "trying" a product is anecdotal. Dr Dray breaks down the ingredient list and correlates it to dermatologist literature of what's been studied to be good vs bad. I say good vs bad loosely because context matters.
I feel that way about all skinfluencers who aren't dermatologists and tout themselves as skincare experts, like Hyram, Liah Yooh, James Welsh, Beauty Within, etc. Don't get me wrong - I find their videos entertaining but I take their recommendations with a grain of salt.
@@RinLaHarlequin same here. I put my trust in the dermatologists, cosmetic formulators, chemistry and biology researchers/PhDs, etc. first and foremost, followed by consumers who go in depth with the scientific studies and medical estheticians, and finally the “influencers”.
Dr. Dray: I don’t like products with fragrance, essential oils, or high percent actives. Dr Dray: these products have fragrance, essential oils and high percent actives and I don’t like that. Everyone: 😮😮😮
@@calleymichelle1510 I actually love the 12% serum from Naturium, its been a game changer for my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide products with lower dosages from other brands didnt do anything for me.
I hope no one gives you a hard time for reviewing this brand! Whether or not anyone supports them personally, it’s good for those that are going to buy from them to have a video to reference to help know what to get. It’s also a more accessible option since it’s sold at Target.
Well it dissuaded me from buying. I have used pixi for years and moved to Naturium thinking it was more of a grown up skin care line. (Both sold at Target like you mentioned) I own six of the products that she wouldn’t recommend. One of which, she actually said pixi was better. I really appreciate this review because my skin has in fact become more sensitive. I just thought it came with using stronger type ingredients. I was wrong lol
I mean did you watch the video lol. It’s in no way a buying guide, she roasts the brand. Which is good because naturium is a shady company and we could all do better
I can see how tiring this video seemed to shoot but I have to say it was very enlightening. I watched the whole thing and thank you for looking out for everybody's skin.
Just and FYI the gold in the vitamin c serum is conjugated with the ascorbic acid to stabilize it, allow it to be at a higher pH and to make it penetrate the skin better. Reading an ingredient list doesn't tell you everything about a product.
Remember when Susan Yara, the brand owner, pretended she had 'discovered' this brand and how great it was? She even pretended to have received PR from the brand. Yikes.
@@ramonara2 Yes. She also falsely claimed that her products were vegan. As a rule, I don't trust influencer brands. They're usually overpriced for what they are. I'd rather buy skincare from a tried and tested brand that has put in a lot of money and time in product development.
It made no sense for Susan Yara to do that. As I watched a video where she was talking about Naturiam and recommending it as if she had only just laid eyes on it... just cringy cringe.
I'm just blown away by the time and effort you put into reviewing products. I'm appreciative of this and that you so direct and to the point. I wouldn't even consider these products because brand integrity is so important to me. Now that I know the truth about the products I'm so glad that I followed my conscience on this one.
I love this video. It was like watching my sister explain something she wasn’t interested in, but had to, and had to cover IT ALL! Like a report for school. Like she was reviewing this once and for all so people will stop flooding her with requests about it. Like, I’m doing this for you all but I’m not waisting any more time than needed. I didn’t think she was mean, more disinterested. Can’t say i blame her due to all the controversy around this brand. She was funny with ZERO bs. Loved it!!
Dr. Dray ...Thank you for being loyal and honest with your followers and not giving in to the pressures of other RUclipsrs opinions. If I loved you before I admire and love you even more now. You’re the real deal! 🙌🏻
It this that brand from that influencer Susan yara? The one that said she “potentially knows more” than a board certified dermatologist? Huh... no thanks. But love dr Dray for being so honest and gentle with the review.
She also lied for months about this not being her brand... then announced it was her brand after she'd spent months bashing all the competition and encouraging her followers to buy from them
I've been using the Azelaic topical acid for like 2 months now, don't have any problem with it. And I love the consistency of it! That just shows how personal skincare is. And I think there's nothing wrong with having Niacinimide in a bunch of different forms. It gives consumers more choices. Just my personal opinion and experience.
i love the topical too. I was prescribed azelaic acid through cureology and loved it. if i'm being super critical, i noticed a bit of that tingling so i just kept it away from drier parts of my face. i LITERALLY have not had skin this clear since I got acne.
@@Peanut_taco_muffin it is a personal preference thing. Dr. Dray said that she's not sure why she got an itching reaction from it, that's just how her skin reacted. Not everyone gets the same reaction as people can be sensitive to different ingredients. Having different formulations of the same actives is also a personal preference thing. Obviously don't use all of the niacinamide products, but one person might prefer a mist, another person might prefer the essence, third person might prefer moisturizer etc. Just depends on what individual people want/need in their routines and how they're combining it with other products. What "medical science thing" says that mist is better than essence or vice versa?
As much as I like other skincare youtubers too I feel like they are part of a friendship group and their is definately some bias in thier feedback. TO have someone we can trust to say the 100% truth and to watch out for her views is something else. Thank you Dr Dray :)
It's like that with makeup too. I was watching a new release sneak peak type will I buy it video and someone criticized a rainbow palette that was just being released and said it's outdated but completely was all about a different rainbow palette that happened to be a collab with influencer. What kills me too is the influencer would always say a palette wasn't good for her if you couldn't deepen looks and her palette really didn't have a deep shade just tried to justify that it had purple and you can use it for that. It's so annoying to hear the bias and hypocrisy
I think the relationship between Susan and Hyram, James Welsh, etc was affected after her sending them Naturium products without revealing it's her brand. They removed everything about it from their profiles/channels and don't mention the brand anymore. She deserves this though.
NoBSbeauty on YT also doesn't take any sponsorships or take any PR. Think she buys *everything* to try and is on top of all the bullshit brands and their founders try to do. Not a Dr but I appreciate unbiased reviews where I can find them, and they are few and far between.
My moneys on you, doc. I first listened to an aesthetician influencer who raved about the Vit C product from this brand. I used the Naturium vit C. Bought at Target. It took me weeks to recover. Felt like it nearly destroyed my skin. Thank you to my dermatologist. Thank you to you, I’m listening to you before anyone else on RUclips.
Oof. I have also learned the hard way to not listen to estheticians or skincare enthusiasts. If someone has the ability to try a million different products a week, they and I are not in the same ballpark 😂 not even the same stadium. Sensitive skin is rough. Dr Dray gives the absolute best advice when it comes to sensitive skin and skin conditions.
When a new skincare line is bringing out products I feel like saying : “send in Dr Dray” and we all stand back watching her talking/explaining about the products. I love her straightforward attitude ❤
Susan Yara literally slammed down TO telling her fans not to use it and use this instead even though her profits are inspired by them and much interest in this kind of skin care came from TO. Moreover, of course at this time no one knew it was Yara’s brand!
That's not a surprise at all. Susan was saying on her Facebook group how she was sent products from Naturium and it's much better than The Ordinary before she revealed it was her brand. Current members have also shared on RUclips that she is now saying again on the Facebook group that her brand is better than Paula's Choice. I like her for the knowledge she shares but she has shown she has no morals, so my feelings are quite mixed.
I'd be interested in seeing a Part 2 for newer products. I was introduced to Naturium through their body products more than their facial skin products, and I have definitely noticed smoother skin after using the three body lotion products. I also like the body washes but I do think that most of them use citrus fruits, so I can already imagine Dr. Dray's responses lol. But for the facial products, I am a huge fan of the retinaldehyde serums.
I am sorry but it seems to me like you really dislike Susan yara! I have been using naturium for more than 6 month and my skin has drastically changed. NONE of the products have any fragrance or essential oils. You review is not honest whatsoever!!!!
@A Side of Bling same. I’ve been using them for a while now and I never had a bad reaction to their products. I also love their vitamin C plus serum it’s very good for my skin.
@@maylinroget6143 I dislike her. Maybe you're too young to remember the scandal involving her hiding her being the co-founder of the brand Naturium while pretending to people that she was impartially recommending her own products. She's a liar.
Thank you for not mincing your words. I've been curious about many products from Naturium - specifically their Azelaic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Alpha Arbutin. And I appreciate that you are speaking frequently about hyperpigmentation!
If you still want to try sth for hiperpigmentation then you might consider getting their tranexamic acid. It was one of the 2 products I tried from Naturium and honestly it helped me so much.
I have their Tranexamic acid. I get irritation from it around the chin and mouth if I use it every day. And I'm not the one who easily gets irritated by skin care. For example I tolerate tretinoin just fine
Every time you dig deep like this on a brand, I get study group vibes, like we’re all cramming for a test and you’re our team leader and have all the best notes 🤣 In med school, I’m guessing everyone wanted you in their study group, Dr. Dray!
Ever since I found your channel, I won't entertain a product if you don't rate it as high efficiency. And it’s because of videos like these, straight to the point, no fluff.
You have to take these reviews with a grain of salt. What doesnt work for someone will work fir others. Also not every one has super sensitive skin. She talks a lot about irritation, but at the of the day you should try it yourself
Gee, I have never seen a brand expanding so aggressively from a handful products to 33 products in one year?! That itself is not a good sign for scientific development, especially without a strong R and D department. Nothing but a money sucker.
I doubt they manufacture their own products. So I'm betting that they just buy and use formulations made by manufacturers and alter it a little. Like adding Niacinamide in every damn product they make lol.
Have you heard of Susan Yarra? She's the creator of this brand, I'm on the fence. Been really excited to try her products but feel a bit sceptical now!
Cleanser, adapalene, moisturizer, sunscreen. Benzoyl peroxide for spots. These are my only skincare products now and keeping it simple has given me the best skin of my life. Thanks Dr Dray!
@@db-gb5xi Yes. The most apt one, in my opinion, is that of 'Jen Luvs Reviews'. She gave a clear picture as compared to others,I felt. But there are so many other videos also
Wow this brand took all the “holy grails” of the most popular skincare brands and make their own and even had the nerve to make a higher % tricking people into thinking the higher the better 😂😂😂 wow this video is gold! thanks dr for always use the science and tell us the truth about skincare
I remember SY bashing the ordinary over and over again, just to promote her brand and everything she put out were knock off's of the ordinary and other awesome brands, but more expensive oh and don't forget "cosmetically elegant".😒 I really don't care about the feeling of my skincare as long as it works. Plus the ordinary don't use fragrance and also have their pH right.
@@kellysblackcat While I agree with most of what you said, cosmetic elegance does matter somewhat. Like if something pills badly or doesn’t rub it well it probably won’t do as much for your skin.
I’ve used Naturium exclusively for about a year & a half now & it’s worked great for me. It got me through pregnancy & has done really well for me since. Just my take on the brand!
One thing that really annoys me about Naturium is that they put niacinamide in EVERYTHING! So if I want to use 2 or more of their products in the same routine , it increases irritation coz of too high a percentage of niacinamide 🙄
Sadly its what the majority of people really want ! But hopefully this trend will die down where everything doesn't include it! I stopped using the ordinary niacinamide because everything I use has some already lol
That's why I'm actually excited for Mad About Skin skincare launch in august, he vouched to not put niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in any of the products for the reason that the marker is so oversaturated with that.
I can tolerate high percentages of niacinamide like a champ , but it still seemed excessive to me to put it in everything. I mean, at this point their products seem boring since the ingredients keep repeating so much.
This is why I love your content. No big creator has actually made a full video talking about the brand. They usually just mention it for a dress minutes and move on. You're the first one to do it, love you and your content 💖
Great to see Dr. Dre's review on this brand as a dermatologist and breaking down the ingredient list, especially for people that have allergies. My thoughts on the brand is that I personally adore some of their products! I have been using them for 7 months and staple items in my routine are the retinol cream, HA serum, Vit.C serum, BHA toner, and ceramide cream. I like the eye cream but it's not totally essential. They do have similar product ideas to other brands so I think it comes down to personal preference for most people. I have friends that swear by other brands and their formulations won't work for me. I like that this brand is fragrance free, affordable, environmentally conscious plus I have seen great results in my skin. Out of all the North American brands this is one I continue to support and then use (mostly) Korean skincare for the rest of my routine. Still really enjoyed Dr. Dre's thoughts on it though!
Aron Aron suuure hehehe but she could just take it as a joke or with a grain of salt, it is not that series! She does many reaction and critic videos on others so she should be open to critic as well. Plus it is okey to hear what professionals say so she could take some advice and keep a few things in mind for the future. Everything is open for progression and so is her brand
Her ass thinks she knows more than scientists and medical professionals. The only thing she knows more about is not disclosing that Naturium was her brand and breaking the damn law.
Dr. Dray is queen of skincare! I love her. In second place would be Shereene Idriss. I love watching James Welsh and Hyram, but if I want an honest, no bullshit opinion I can trust, it’s always Dr. Dray!
Just came here to give my thoughts on the Cleansing Oil. I saw a lot of skinfluencers posting about how good it was, but I experienced the SAME things as Dr. Dray. The product definitely leaves a waxy film on my face, and the film will not wash off with my normal CeraVe hydrating cleanser-I unfortunately need to use a stronger cleanser to get the product off.
At this point I just use retinol and an exfoliator every other day interchangeably plus the basic cleanser,moisturiser and sunscreen. Marketing makes you feel like you need a whole ton of product. Thank you Dr. dray
@@m.younis9849 Skin care should be specific to your skin concern and even tho we may have the same skin concern, we may react differently to products. Here are my specific products: 1. La roche posay gentle hydrating cleanser 2. Good molecules overnight exfoliating serum 3. Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair 4. Cerave healing ointment 5. Black girl sunscreen. I have dry, dull hyperpigmented skin.
I’ve used about 5 naturium and actually have loved them all for price, consistency, and results. The gelee Niacinimide wash is my fav cleanser I’ve ever tried in last year.
Same! My Esthetician recommended their Gelee Niacinamide cleanser to me and honestly its my favorite now too! I was scared too because I tried many cleansers this year that were too drying on my currently dehydrated skin.
Same I love Naturium products I have a lot of hyperpigmentation, dry skin and sensitive skin .....really fair price point I've used the retinol, niaciniamide, face wash, glycolic acid...the rich face cream love everything I've tried so far...
My friend regifted several of the products to me. I enjoyed them but I still feel that I can get the same results from CeraVe or the ordinary. It also leaves a terrible taste in my mouth thay Susan advertised the product without disclosing that she’s the owner lol.
@@susanagracia7941 what would she say? she has nothing to statement, from the start she pretended she wasn't the co-founder and bashed the ordinary products, such a liar
Thank you Dr. Dray for an honest review. Susan's lack of transparency regarding her equity stack in Naturium was truly dishonest and criminal. It was so disappointing as I trusted and valued her opinion until it was revealed that she was totally deceitful and manipulative. She even went as far to bash other products in order to promote her own. Women deserve so much more. I will never purchase Naturium products!
I’ve been seeing this brand at Target and was so curious about whether it was actually good or not! Thank you for this, I’m gonna pass on it. Saved me some $! 💜
i love the retinol complex cream! i’m 41 (in less than 2 weeks) & this is my first time using a product with retinol. my skin tends to be on the more sensitive side but i haven’t had any irritation at all while using this cream. i definitely plan to repurchase in the future! ✨
I tried the Azaleic Acid product from them and didn’t do much after a few months so switched back to the Paula’s Choice one which is more expensive but works!
@@sams517 and she didn't say that actually, it's just your assumption lol People are weird - for Susan they want to assume everything about her negatively and everything positively for Dr Dray. Yes Susan made a mistake but the obsession people are having to attack her for that forever is pathetic. I personally don't see Dr Dray to be any better in personality compared to Susan. She literally condemns 'harshly' to any brand she's not liking.
@@tojin yea cause she takes no BS...unlike Susan she doesn’t just sit in front of a camera and lie to her audience. She provides the facts if you fell hurt or attacked that she’s speaking facts the door is open :)
@@StellaM22 same, not only can’t I watch them but if I accidentally stumble across one I instantly and overwhelmingly want to roundhouse her smug face 🤷🏻♀️
I'm kinda shook. I discovered Dr. Dray through Mixed Makeup's Susan Yara who is a co-owner of Naturium. I appreciate though that Dr. Dray doesn't budge on her perspective and is a straight shooter. I've been using a couple of products that she gave negative reviews to like the everything serum with the Vitamin C and Retinol. I've also been using their facial cleanser for a hot minute too. The Ceramide Cream and Sleeping mask are great lotions that I've been using too. I guess it's learning about taking opinions with a grain of salt because not everyone's skin reacts the same. I thought I had sensitive skin. But apparently not since I've been using some of this stuff for over a year when Susan launched the brand. 😅 I appreciate the in-depth review, Dr! Also thank's for labeling in the video so I could hop around to the products I use!
This brand is a joke and was born under the worst conditions possible. But it was nice to hear an honest review as most of other skincare influencers have been lied to or sponsored.
I have tried to give Dr. Dray a chance on multiple occasions and her advice just doesn’t seem to play out on my skin. Is there anyone else in this realm that I could turn to for some additional insights?
I use these products and my skin doesn't itch at all, I like the texture, and it works very well for me, my skin looks bright and healthy every morning, I use them because I have melasma and it has helped me a lot with my condition
Susan Yara, the woman who said she knows more than dermatologists, does not deserve anyone’s support. She should be investigated by the FTC for what she did and not supported by purchasing from her brand.
Thank you Dr. Dray!! I actually use a lot of these and have had no issues and am seeing results. I do appreciate your reviews and look forward to them.
It is similar to many Korean skincare products IMO. A lot of duped and many active ingredients in one, so you feel that you're getting a lot in one but claims to be safe for sensitive skin but has so many essential oils.
Just a note: this brand generally does NOT use any essential oils. I guess that one particular product does for some reason, but none that I've bought or even checked out have at all. They have no fragrance to them either besides the usual smell of unscented product. Sorry- I just don't want people getting the wrong idea from reading this!
I've been using the Azelaic Topical Acid and it doesn't cause itching or any uncomfortable sensation at all. I think it's helping this patch of acne on my face clear up, too.
dr dray is THE ONLY skin influencer that i trust, the fact that hyram recommended this brand just makes me not trust him anymore, he is also very very biased unlike doctor dray
Wasn’t planning on ever trying this brand after the way it all went down with the launching of it, but I do like to get the honest opinion from a real dermatologist.
It's indeed shades. Positive parts, she easily brushed off, negative parts, she emphasized by repeating over and over lol I don't her intention but I take such as shading
@@DrDrayzday do you have a recommendation for a better vitamin c or vitamin c alternative than these vitamin c’s? I have been using the vitamin c serum from naturium and it’s fine but looking for some serum to help with acne/dark spots 🙃
@@DrDrayzday Heaven only knows just how much WORK you put into the preparations for this video! Rest assured, it saved a lot of people a lot of money and skin damage!👏🏻👏🏻💐💐
@@vincent_2232 I swear the timeless vitamin c is the best. I stopped using it for a bit when I ran out to see what difference I made for my skin. I didn't use it for 2months once I ran out. About one month in I got a coq-10 toner and it didn't do much. I noticed a ton of freckles by my hairline despite lots of sunscreen use, then I decided to reorder the Timeless and the freckles were 90% gone in 5 days! Blew my mind. Like, it's the most effective skincare product I have. If you go to the YT channel Hot and flashy, Angie, the lady there always recommends it and if you go to her page and find a video where she mentions it, it's easy shes talked about it a lot, buy through her link and get $5 off. It's $25. Cannot recommend it enough!
“$25 for Avocado 🥑 Oil, 👀.” 🤣 Thank you for doing this. I didn’t request a review, but I was tempted to try some of these when they first launched. Now I have a review from Dr. Dray-glad I waited!
Products from Naturium that I’ve used and my thoughts: Mixed Nutrient Cleanser: used and loved, will probably buy again. Vitamin C Serum: it’s ok, didn’t see any improvement, have since stopped using Vitamin C. Niacinamide Serum: very nice, no problems and finished but have stopped using Niacinamide serums. Quadruple HA Serum: Caused extreme irritation, but irritation is not exclusive to this HA Serum, others have done the same. No longer use HA anymore. Retinol Serum: weird texture, I assume because of the gold encapsulation. Saw no improvement, will not re-purchase. Paulas Choice Clinical and Differin have been much more effective. Plant Rich Moisturizer: Very nice, I’ve bought twice and really enjoy it. Overnight Sleep Mask: it’s nice, has a great texture but I don’t reach for it often. Can get the same results with Vaseline.
They previously also marketed the product as 2.5% retinol and 22% vitamin c complex which is misleading in my opinion, mentioning concentration of complexes, but making it sound like it refers to the actives. They use "infinitec golden c" that's where the gold comes from, and for the retinol "Ininitec vitAlease 3.3", that means with the suggested range of the supplier the pure concentration of ascorbic acid can't be more than 1% and the retinol content not more than 0.033%. The azelaic acid derivative is 10% "Azeclair" this consists of 70% water, so actually there's about 3% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate in the product.
So happy to have such an extensive review of the line. With the brand being in Target now I was hoping for this, thankfully it seems my waiting paid off. Would love to know your thoughts on Maelove. Seems like they use a lot of actual dermatologists in their promotion and not just popular influencers...
There’s a dermatologist from Harvard that highly recommended this brand. Now I’m not sure what to think. He said the Vitamin C serum was his favorite. 🤔
Dr. Dray telling us to stop asking her about Naturium for 38 minutes 🤫🤫

Right, because the other derms are being paid by susan yara
It's kinda sad actually, but since skin gurus became really big, doctors now BEG them for a spot on a video or a mention on instagram. No dignity at all
@Michał Drożdzewski true! And i believe she was never paid by Naturium!
I love how you don't give a shit about skincare influencers but instead provide your audience with scientific evidence backed claims
Yes 😂🙌
But she slams stuff without trying it. Its all assumptions
@@anthonysmith8900 she doesn’t have to try certain items because she knows the science behind them. She’s speaking scientifically. How many influencers or gurus do you know that supposedly try things and claim it works for them, only to for A) the same individual to be struggling with their skin 6 months later and B) to have a dermatologist or chemist breakdown the product and explain why it’s ineffective or problematic to the skin.
I would like to note that she did describe using several of the products.
@@anthonysmith8900 "trying" a product is anecdotal. Dr Dray breaks down the ingredient list and correlates it to dermatologist literature of what's been studied to be good vs bad. I say good vs bad loosely because context matters.

I feel that way about all skinfluencers who aren't dermatologists and tout themselves as skincare experts, like Hyram, Liah Yooh, James Welsh, Beauty Within, etc. Don't get me wrong - I find their videos entertaining but I take their recommendations with a grain of salt.

People can't have different opinions? Lol some of these products have actually worked for people so what one person says is not absolute
And there are also derms who wholeheartedly support naturium so it's all a matter of preference

Any Dr V fan here ??
Well it dissuaded me from buying. I have used pixi for years and moved to Naturium thinking it was more of a grown up skin care line. (Both sold at Target like you mentioned)
I own six of the products that she wouldn’t recommend. One of which, she actually said pixi was better. I really appreciate this review because my skin has in fact become more sensitive. I just thought it came with using stronger type ingredients. I was wrong lol
Yeah I love Susan but I’ve been waiting for an unbiased review before buying any items since my skins a little sensitive
I mean did you watch the video lol. It’s in no way a buying guide, she roasts the brand. Which is good because naturium is a shady company and we could all do better
Those mugs are getting larger and larger I SWEAR 😬😂
I'm here for it😂 🙌
Hahahaha it is isn't it? 🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing
The bigger the mug the better the tea 😂
I know, right!? I wish I had one so big! By the time I finally get to sit down for breakfast, I NEED that much coffee!🤷♀️🤦♀️
🤣
I can see how tiring this video seemed to shoot but I have to say it was very enlightening. I watched the whole thing and thank you for looking out for everybody's skin.
Just and FYI the gold in the vitamin c serum is conjugated with the ascorbic acid to stabilize it, allow it to be at a higher pH and to make it penetrate the skin better. Reading an ingredient list doesn't tell you everything about a product.
Remember when Susan Yara, the brand owner, pretended she had 'discovered' this brand and how great it was? She even pretended to have received PR from the brand. Yikes.
Omg really 😓😓😓you can believe everyone....
@@ramonara2 Yes. She also falsely claimed that her products were vegan. As a rule, I don't trust influencer brands. They're usually overpriced for what they are. I'd rather buy skincare from a tried and tested brand that has put in a lot of money and time in product development.
Sure do! Did you see the video JenLuvsReviews did on it? Tore her up.
It made no sense for Susan Yara to do that. As I watched a video where she was talking about Naturiam and recommending it as if she had only just laid eyes on it... just cringy cringe.
Yep and remember how she made an apology video but then removed it from her channel. Trying to hide what she did from any new subscribers.
I'm just blown away by the time and effort you put into reviewing products. I'm appreciative of this and that you so direct and to the point. I wouldn't even consider these products because brand integrity is so important to me. Now that I know the truth about the products I'm so glad that I followed my conscience on this one.

"Product number next"
LMAO Dr Dray is SO over this, I'm rolling 😂 I want more videos like this, GETTEM!!
This cracked me up too.
I love this video. It was like watching my sister explain something she wasn’t interested in, but had to, and had to cover IT ALL! Like a report for school. Like she was reviewing this once and for all so people will stop flooding her with requests about it. Like, I’m doing this for you all but I’m not waisting any more time than needed. I didn’t think she was mean, more disinterested. Can’t say i blame her due to all the controversy around this brand. She was funny with ZERO bs. Loved it!!
HAHhahahahahaha OMGGGGGG HAHAHAH and she said it so casually
@@terraj.2835 id be disinterested too if i had to try on and review 50 shades of niacinamide 😂

Dr. Dray ...Thank you for being loyal and honest with your followers and not giving in to the pressures of other RUclipsrs opinions. If I loved you before I admire and love you even more now. You’re the real deal! 🙌🏻
It this that brand from that influencer Susan yara? The one that said she “potentially knows more” than a board certified dermatologist? Huh... no thanks. But love dr Dray for being so honest and gentle with the review.
When did she say that?! 🙄
@@cat_pb one gr8 example is her 'reacting to Dr.Sandra Lee's skincare routine' ,especially the intro of that video
@@cat_pb she said that in the video reacting to dr pimple popper skin care routine. Seriously, the nerve... 🙄
Just one of the dumb things she said.
She also lied for months about this not being her brand... then announced it was her brand after she'd spent months bashing all the competition and encouraging her followers to buy from them
2 continuous years of dr. Dray:)
Now life just feels incomplete without sunscreen......
Without Dr. Dray and Sunscreen.
Dr. Dray..our rey of SUNscreen😁
"sleeping cream or sleeping mask is code for another moisturizer" 😂
I've been using the Azelaic topical acid for like 2 months now, don't have any problem with it. And I love the consistency of it! That just shows how personal skincare is. And I think there's nothing wrong with having Niacinimide in a bunch of different forms. It gives consumers more choices. Just my personal opinion and experience.
i love the topical too. I was prescribed azelaic acid through cureology and loved it. if i'm being super critical, i noticed a bit of that tingling so i just kept it away from drier parts of my face. i LITERALLY have not had skin this clear since I got acne.
This isn’t a personal preference things, it’s a proven medical science thing
@@Peanut_taco_muffin it is a personal preference thing. Dr. Dray said that she's not sure why she got an itching reaction from it, that's just how her skin reacted. Not everyone gets the same reaction as people can be sensitive to different ingredients.
Having different formulations of the same actives is also a personal preference thing. Obviously don't use all of the niacinamide products, but one person might prefer a mist, another person might prefer the essence, third person might prefer moisturizer etc. Just depends on what individual people want/need in their routines and how they're combining it with other products. What "medical science thing" says that mist is better than essence or vice versa?
I love topical gold, preferably 14k or 18k - as jewelry. Otherwise, nah.
🤣😂😆
I appreciate this comment
But 24k is skincare is so beneficial, your totally missing out💀💀
As much as I like other skincare youtubers too I feel like they are part of a friendship group and their is definately some bias in thier feedback. TO have someone we can trust to say the 100% truth and to watch out for her views is something else. Thank you Dr Dray :)
It's like that with makeup too. I was watching a new release sneak peak type will I buy it video and someone criticized a rainbow palette that was just being released and said it's outdated but completely was all about a different rainbow palette that happened to be a collab with influencer. What kills me too is the influencer would always say a palette wasn't good for her if you couldn't deepen looks and her palette really didn't have a deep shade just tried to justify that it had purple and you can use it for that. It's so annoying to hear the bias and hypocrisy
💯💯💯
Yep. I'm glad she told us how bad a lot of the stuff is. Won't be purchasing.
I think the relationship between Susan and Hyram, James Welsh, etc was affected after her sending them Naturium products without revealing it's her brand. They removed everything about it from their profiles/channels and don't mention the brand anymore. She deserves this though.
NoBSbeauty on YT also doesn't take any sponsorships or take any PR. Think she buys *everything* to try and is on top of all the bullshit brands and their founders try to do. Not a Dr but I appreciate unbiased reviews where I can find them, and they are few and far between.
My moneys on you, doc. I first listened to an aesthetician influencer who raved about the Vit C product from this brand. I used the Naturium vit C. Bought at Target. It took me weeks to recover. Felt like it nearly destroyed my skin. Thank you to my dermatologist. Thank you to you, I’m listening to you before anyone else on RUclips.
Oof. I have also learned the hard way to not listen to estheticians or skincare enthusiasts. If someone has the ability to try a million different products a week, they and I are not in the same ballpark 😂 not even the same stadium.
Sensitive skin is rough. Dr Dray gives the absolute best advice when it comes to sensitive skin and skin conditions.
I tried the Vitamin C serum also and it dried my skin out and made it look worse. Awful stuff.
When a new skincare line is bringing out products I feel like saying : “send in Dr Dray” and we all stand back watching her talking/explaining about the products. I love her straightforward attitude ❤
It sounds like some of these products are trying to be dupes of Tatcha, Paula’s Choice and The Ordinary 🤷🏻♀️
This is the best definition of Naturium as a brand 💯💯
What kills me about this brand is not only the shady launch, but how the owner shaded The Ordinary, and proceeds to be HEAVILY inspired by them.
@@chaseypoo17 This.
She dragged TO for not being cosmetically elegant, and now we hear Dr Dray saying Naturium products have an unpleasant texture.
Susan Yara literally slammed down TO telling her fans not to use it and use this instead even though her profits are inspired by them and much interest in this kind of skin care came from TO. Moreover, of course at this time no one knew it was Yara’s brand!
That's not a surprise at all. Susan was saying on her Facebook group how she was sent products from Naturium and it's much better than The Ordinary before she revealed it was her brand. Current members have also shared on RUclips that she is now saying again on the Facebook group that her brand is better than Paula's Choice. I like her for the knowledge she shares but she has shown she has no morals, so my feelings are quite mixed.
she said "huchi kuchi bakuchiol" i was laughing so hard 😭😂
Same 😂😂
😭😭😭
It’s huchi kuchi, alright!🤣😂🤣
The level of roast in this video! 😅😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd be interested in seeing a Part 2 for newer products. I was introduced to Naturium through their body products more than their facial skin products, and I have definitely noticed smoother skin after using the three body lotion products. I also like the body washes but I do think that most of them use citrus fruits, so I can already imagine Dr. Dray's responses lol. But for the facial products, I am a huge fan of the retinaldehyde serums.
Never seen Dr. Dray dislike a brand so thoroughly.
I am sorry but it seems to me like you really dislike Susan yara! I have been using naturium for more than 6 month and my skin has drastically changed. NONE of the products have any fragrance or essential oils. You review is not honest whatsoever!!!!
@A Side of Bling same. I’ve been using them for a while now and I never had a bad reaction to their products. I also love their vitamin C plus serum it’s very good for my skin.
@@maylinroget6143 I dislike her. Maybe you're too young to remember the scandal involving her hiding her being the co-founder of the brand Naturium while pretending to people that she was impartially recommending her own products. She's a liar.
Thank you for not mincing your words. I've been curious about many products from Naturium - specifically their Azelaic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Alpha Arbutin. And I appreciate that you are speaking frequently about hyperpigmentation!
Thanks for watching
If you still want to try sth for hiperpigmentation then you might consider getting their tranexamic acid. It was one of the 2 products I tried from Naturium and honestly it helped me so much.
I have their Tranexamic acid. I get irritation from it around the chin and mouth if I use it every day. And I'm not the one who easily gets irritated by skin care. For example I tolerate tretinoin just fine
Try the tranexamic acid from Good Molecules. Very good.
The azelaic acid works well on my skin! I don't use it every morning and every night. I use it 3x/week. and I have the MOST sensitive skin ever.
Every time you dig deep like this on a brand, I get study group vibes, like we’re all cramming for a test and you’re our team leader and have all the best notes 🤣 In med school, I’m guessing everyone wanted you in their study group, Dr. Dray!
Best explanation yet 👌 😂
so true !!! 😂
Ever since I found your channel, I won't entertain a product if you don't rate it as high efficiency. And it’s because of videos like these, straight to the point, no fluff.
You have to take these reviews with a grain of salt. What doesnt work for someone will work fir others. Also not every one has super sensitive skin. She talks a lot about irritation, but at the of the day you should try it yourself
Gee, I have never seen a brand expanding so aggressively from a handful products to 33 products in one year?! That itself is not a good sign for scientific development, especially without a strong R and D department. Nothing but a money sucker.
Just a bunch of dupes
I doubt they manufacture their own products. So I'm betting that they just buy and use formulations made by manufacturers and alter it a little. Like adding Niacinamide in every damn product they make lol.
Have you heard of Susan Yarra? She's the creator of this brand, I'm on the fence. Been really excited to try her products but feel a bit sceptical now!
To be fair, most of these products seem like variations of the same handful of products 🙃
They probably don’t have an R&D department, they almost certainly rely on contract manufacturers to make their formulas
Cleanser, adapalene, moisturizer, sunscreen. Benzoyl peroxide for spots. These are my only skincare products now and keeping it simple has given me the best skin of my life. Thanks Dr Dray!
Which benzoyl peroxide product do you use?
Switch Benzoyl Peroxide for Azelaic Acid... BP damages the skin so badly.. and ruins bedding, towels etc...
I use salycilic acid instead of benzol peroxide but Im righit with u.
You cannot use adaplene during the day , it is not stable during the sun light
Same except bp
How the co-founder straight up lied to her followers and scammed them is a big turn-off. That's really fraudulent of her
I had no idea. That's awful
Absolutely. Susan Yara is terrible.
Yup she was advertising and recommending the product without revealing that she's a co-founder/owner of the brand.
There are a number of videos addressing this for those unaware.
@@db-gb5xi Yes. The most apt one, in my opinion, is that of 'Jen Luvs Reviews'. She gave a clear picture as compared to others,I felt. But there are so many other videos also
Wow this brand took all the “holy grails” of the most popular skincare brands and make their own and even had the nerve to make a higher % tricking people into thinking the higher the better 😂😂😂 wow this video is gold! thanks dr for always use the science and tell us the truth about skincare
I remember SY bashing the ordinary over and over again, just to promote her brand and everything she put out were knock off's of the ordinary and other awesome brands, but more expensive oh and don't forget "cosmetically elegant".😒 I really don't care about the feeling of my skincare as long as it works. Plus the ordinary don't use fragrance and also have their pH right.
@@kellysblackcat llamas
Modeled after The Ordinary, its so obvious haha
@@kellysblackcat While I agree with most of what you said, cosmetic elegance does matter somewhat. Like if something pills badly or doesn’t rub it well it probably won’t do as much for your skin.
I hollered at the mixed greens cleanser...like, really?? 😂
I’ve used Naturium exclusively for about a year & a half now & it’s worked great for me. It got me through pregnancy & has done really well for me since. Just my take on the brand!
Same, a lot of people are jumping on the hate train, for good reason, but the products are good and I can’t deny that
One thing that really annoys me about Naturium is that they put niacinamide in EVERYTHING! So if I want to use 2 or more of their products in the same routine , it increases irritation coz of too high a percentage of niacinamide 🙄
Exactly. I can’t try any of their products because niacinamide irritates my skin so 😟. They put it in everything
Sadly its what the majority of people really want ! But hopefully this trend will die down where everything doesn't include it! I stopped using the ordinary niacinamide because everything I use has some already lol
That's why I'm actually excited for Mad About Skin skincare launch in august, he vouched to not put niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in any of the products for the reason that the marker is so oversaturated with that.
@@morgianasartre6709 who’s brand is that? Sounds nice.
I can tolerate high percentages of niacinamide like a champ , but it still seemed excessive to me to put it in everything. I mean, at this point their products seem boring since the ingredients keep repeating so much.
This lightning set up is so pleasing to the eye. The lamp in the back being switched off played into it I believe.
Naturium is not even available in my country but dr dray made me sit through this entire video 😂😂
This is why I love your content. No big creator has actually made a full video talking about the brand. They usually just mention it for a dress minutes and move on. You're the first one to do it, love you and your content 💖
Fammm the initial comments about the Vitamin C super plus serum has me on the floor. I’m crying. 😭😭😭
I bought it also
IKR!? I thought I was gonna choke, I laughed for so long....🤣
Me toooo 🤦🏻♀️ and I bought it!
I went to target 3 times to get it🙄
Omg, I never thought you would do it!!
Great to see Dr. Dre's review on this brand as a dermatologist and breaking down the ingredient list, especially for people that have allergies. My thoughts on the brand is that I personally adore some of their products! I have been using them for 7 months and staple items in my routine are the retinol cream, HA serum, Vit.C serum, BHA toner, and ceramide cream. I like the eye cream but it's not totally essential. They do have similar product ideas to other brands so I think it comes down to personal preference for most people. I have friends that swear by other brands and their formulations won't work for me. I like that this brand is fragrance free, affordable, environmentally conscious plus I have seen great results in my skin. Out of all the North American brands this is one I continue to support and then use (mostly) Korean skincare for the rest of my routine. Still really enjoyed Dr. Dre's thoughts on it though!
I’m living for the time stamps on this video, so easy to replay sections now!
I appreciate the honest review. A lot of other skincare youtubers hype the brand up because it was made by their friend
Imagine Susan Yara making a reaction video on this on her channel 😂
😂 I’m sure Susan will not be happy
Aron Aron suuure hehehe but she could just take it as a joke or with a grain of salt, it is not that series! She does many reaction and critic videos on others so she should be open to critic as well. Plus it is okey to hear what professionals say so she could take some advice and keep a few things in mind for the future. Everything is open for progression and so is her brand
Her ass thinks she knows more than scientists and medical professionals. The only thing she knows more about is not disclosing that Naturium was her brand and breaking the damn law.
@@sasukiuchiha5563 Someone said she unfollowed Dr Dray on Instagram so... I don't think she took the criticism well 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Dr. Dray is queen of skincare! I love her. In second place would be Shereene Idriss. I love watching James Welsh and Hyram, but if I want an honest, no bullshit opinion I can trust, it’s always Dr. Dray!
Just came here to give my thoughts on the Cleansing Oil. I saw a lot of skinfluencers posting about how good it was, but I experienced the SAME things as Dr. Dray. The product definitely leaves a waxy film on my face, and the film will not wash off with my normal CeraVe hydrating cleanser-I unfortunately need to use a stronger cleanser to get the product off.
I really liked the cleansing oil, it’s one of the best ones I’ve used and doesn’t try out my face! I also liked the naturium cleansing balm as well
At this point I just use retinol and an exfoliator every other day interchangeably plus the basic cleanser,moisturiser and sunscreen. Marketing makes you feel like you need a whole ton of product. Thank you Dr. dray
Same. And I completely agree with you.
How are the results please? And how long have you been on them?
And please share your products
Me too 😊😊

I’ve used about 5 naturium and actually have loved them all for price, consistency, and results. The gelee Niacinimide wash is my fav cleanser I’ve ever tried in last year.
Same! My Esthetician recommended their Gelee Niacinamide cleanser to me and honestly its my favorite now too! I was scared too because I tried many cleansers this year that were too drying on my currently dehydrated skin.
Same I love Naturium products I have a lot of hyperpigmentation, dry skin and sensitive skin .....really fair price point I've used the retinol, niaciniamide, face wash, glycolic acid...the rich face cream love everything I've tried so far...
My friend regifted several of the products to me. I enjoyed them but I still feel that I can get the same results from CeraVe or the ordinary. It also leaves a terrible taste in my mouth thay Susan advertised the product without disclosing that she’s the owner lol.
Oh jeez. Red flag. If you did the in the science community, you would be outed
Totally agree
Yes, completely inappropriate for Susan to review her product and not disclose she was the owner.

I love Dr Drays brutal honesty! She doesn’t mind not belonging to the skincare clique here on youtube & I appreciate that about her!
Thank you Dr. Dray for an honest review. Susan's lack of transparency regarding her equity stack in Naturium was truly dishonest and criminal. It was so disappointing as I trusted and valued her opinion until it was revealed that she was totally deceitful and manipulative. She even went as far to bash other products in order to promote her own. Women deserve so much more. I will never purchase Naturium products!
Dr Dray should have a t-shirt merch that says " not here for the tea", this was very professional and only about the formulas.
I’ve been seeing this brand at Target and was so curious about whether it was actually good or not! Thank you for this, I’m gonna pass on it. Saved me some $! 💜
It’s way too expensive for what you pay for
Caroline Hirons made a fantastic video on IG called, "The Susan Yara/Naturium situation."
i love the retinol complex cream! i’m 41 (in less than 2 weeks) & this is my first time using a product with retinol. my skin tends to be on the more sensitive side but i haven’t had any irritation at all while using this cream. i definitely plan to repurchase in the future! ✨
I enjoy Natrium. Love the Niacinamide gel and retinol complex.
I tried the Azaleic Acid product from them and didn’t do much after a few months so switched back to the Paula’s Choice one which is more expensive but works!
"$18 cleanser? Wash your face." I choked on my water, chuckling. Great vid as always Dr. Dray!

Then Dr Dray should keep her words; she should just use water to wash her face for the rest of her life. I highly doubt she will lmao

@@sams517 and she didn't say that actually, it's just your assumption lol People are weird - for Susan they want to assume everything about her negatively and everything positively for Dr Dray. Yes Susan made a mistake but the obsession people are having to attack her for that forever is pathetic. I personally don't see Dr Dray to be any better in personality compared to Susan. She literally condemns 'harshly' to any brand she's not liking.

I'm kinda shook. I discovered Dr. Dray through Mixed Makeup's Susan Yara who is a co-owner of Naturium. I appreciate though that Dr. Dray doesn't budge on her perspective and is a straight shooter. I've been using a couple of products that she gave negative reviews to like the everything serum with the Vitamin C and Retinol. I've also been using their facial cleanser for a hot minute too. The Ceramide Cream and Sleeping mask are great lotions that I've been using too. I guess it's learning about taking opinions with a grain of salt because not everyone's skin reacts the same. I thought I had sensitive skin. But apparently not since I've been using some of this stuff for over a year when Susan launched the brand. 😅
I appreciate the in-depth review, Dr! Also thank's for labeling in the video so I could hop around to the products I use!
I used Tranexamic, no irritation and no result. I will not buy again.
Thank you so much for reviewing this line Dr.Dray! You just saved me a ton of money!!
This brand is a joke and was born under the worst conditions possible. But it was nice to hear an honest review as most of other skincare influencers have been lied to or sponsored.
Unfortunately, many of Susan’s RUclipsr friends are part of the problem. They lie for her.

@@DrDrayzday Thanks for reviewing this💖
Susan Yara, the woman who said she knows more than dermatologists, does not deserve anyone’s support. She should be investigated by the FTC for what she did and not supported by purchasing from her brand.
When she said that?
Look up some of the videos on the controversy. Not sure when she made this particular statement but it was supposedly at Dr. Sandra Lee's expense.
Does anyone feel like dr dray is being to shady about naturium
I have been loving the azeliac acid emulsion. Honestly pretty fantastic. Helped me treat a mild perioral dermatitis outbreak.
Thank you Dr. Dray!! I actually use a lot of these and have had no issues and am seeing results. I do appreciate your reviews and look forward to them.
Such an unimpressive, overhyped skincare brand! Shady marketing from Susan as well. Thank you for the honest review and speaking up!
Thanks for watching
Dr. Dray is now canceled at Mixed Makeup. 😂
Love how honest this review is!!!💖
It's a good sign to be cancelled by Mixed Makeup.
It is similar to many Korean skincare products IMO. A lot of duped and many active ingredients in one, so you feel that you're getting a lot in one but claims to be safe for sensitive skin but has so many essential oils.
Just a note: this brand generally does NOT use any essential oils. I guess that one particular product does for some reason, but none that I've bought or even checked out have at all. They have no fragrance to them either besides the usual smell of unscented product.
Sorry- I just don't want people getting the wrong idea from reading this!
Lol I love Dr dray because she’s not an influencer. She’s a DR!
She does influence though. Lol
I've been using the Azelaic Topical Acid and it doesn't cause itching or any uncomfortable sensation at all. I think it's helping this patch of acne on my face clear up, too.
I love it too!
I loved it too, I love the emulsion
dr dray is THE ONLY skin influencer that i trust, the fact that hyram recommended this brand just makes me not trust him anymore, he is also very very biased unlike doctor dray
Wasn’t planning on ever trying this brand after the way it all went down with the launching of it, but I do like to get the honest opinion from a real dermatologist.

I noticed a ton of freckles by my hairline despite lots of sunscreen use, then I decided to reorder the Timeless and the freckles were 90% gone in 5 days! Blew my mind. Like, it's the most effective skincare product I have.
If you go to the YT channel Hot and flashy, Angie, the lady there always recommends it and if you go to her page and find a video where she mentions it, it's easy shes talked about it a lot, buy through her link and get $5 off. It's $25.
Cannot recommend it enough!
“$25 for Avocado 🥑 Oil, 👀.” 🤣 Thank you for doing this. I didn’t request a review, but I was tempted to try some of these when they first launched. Now I have a review from Dr. Dray-glad I waited!
Wait but the vitamin c complex serum does have vitamin E doesn't it?
Products from Naturium that I’ve used and my thoughts:
Mixed Nutrient Cleanser: used and loved, will probably buy again.
Vitamin C Serum: it’s ok, didn’t see any improvement, have since stopped using Vitamin C.
Niacinamide Serum: very nice, no problems and finished but have stopped using Niacinamide serums.
Quadruple HA Serum: Caused extreme irritation, but irritation is not exclusive to this HA Serum, others have done the same. No longer use HA anymore.
Retinol Serum: weird texture, I assume because of the gold encapsulation. Saw no improvement, will not re-purchase. Paulas Choice Clinical and Differin have been much more effective.
Plant Rich Moisturizer: Very nice, I’ve bought twice and really enjoy it.
Overnight Sleep Mask: it’s nice, has a great texture but I don’t reach for it often. Can get the same results with Vaseline.
Thanks for being honest. People need to stop taking one person's word as fact because they have good products imo
I absolutely love all of her creams. They feel so amazing on my skin and I continue to repurchase.
I’m very much getting “over-it” vibes lol
Girl same , it's just copy and paste product,no creativity at all
@@vallerianredha8822 Full of niacinamide too which is like such a thing of the past now
this is perfect lighting for Naturium's funeral. 🥰
Yet it is thriving 3 years later. Guess the mob didn’t work.
They previously also marketed the product as 2.5% retinol and 22% vitamin c complex which is misleading in my opinion, mentioning concentration of complexes, but making it sound like it refers to the actives. They use "infinitec golden c" that's where the gold comes from, and for the retinol "Ininitec vitAlease 3.3", that means with the suggested range of the supplier the pure concentration of ascorbic acid can't be more than 1% and the retinol content not more than 0.033%. The azelaic acid derivative is 10% "Azeclair" this consists of 70% water, so actually there's about 3% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate in the product.
My family was joking they r banning me from watching Dr. Dray😆 they said...if you say one more thing about the damn skin barrier💯😜
“Scraps in a Bowl 100%” I’d definitely buy that😂
I freakin’ LOVED that analogy!😹😹😹😹
lol.. that was hilarious 😝😂😭
My jaw dropped, most savage thing I’ve heard in a while 😂😂😂
So happy to have such an extensive review of the line. With the brand being in Target now I was hoping for this, thankfully it seems my waiting paid off. Would love to know your thoughts on Maelove. Seems like they use a lot of actual dermatologists in their promotion and not just popular influencers...
There’s a dermatologist from Harvard that highly recommended this brand. Now I’m not sure what to think. He said the Vitamin C serum was his favorite. 🤔
