Thank you Dr. Dray for your very thorough discussion on Centella and its varied components. Listing them will be so helpful when searching these ingredients out. Btw, you look great. Your skin is so clear and healthy looking. I like your leopard sweater (love animal prints), your necklace and earrings. Very pulled together and classy. You rock!
i currently use Cerave Healing Ointment at night as my last step to "slug" because I have crazy dry skin... but I'm intrigued by that LRP cicaplast baume... could I use that as a similar step in my routine?
You might prefer the version for hands. It's in a slightly bigger tube and alse contains nicinemide. I find the texture better for very dry or irritated skin, especially if u already 'slug'.
What can we do if an allergy develops? I think I have some kind of contact dermatitis with salicylic acid. Is there a way to reverse the allergic response/reintroduce the ingredient?
I use the la roche posay cicaplast gel b5 not the cream and it helped me clear my acne and my pih from it so I love it and although it is also thick and according to my skin type I shouldn't be using it after I put it on my skin just calms down and I feel refreshed
I also like the Purito Centella Green Level Recovery Cream! It soothes redness and irritation instantly. Fun fact: Centella is known as Tiger Grass because tigers will instinctively roll in this grass after fights to soothe their wounds. So cool!
I bought it and it breaks me out for some reason and I don't really break out! So I just use it on my neck and hands. It feels so nice so that made me sad!
May we get a review of Geek & Gorgeous brand? They pledge no fragrance (including essential oils too!) They also pledge to disclose the amount of actives in their products.
Assalaam Alaikum everyone. I have my coffee ready, lol. Let’s roll with the awesome Dr. Dray. Have a great day everyone. Lots of love from California. ❤️❤️❤️
That stuff literally repaired my skin in three days flat! I had an allergic reaction to a new sunscreen I tried, and my skin began to CRACK!!! I went out and bought the Calm and Restore cream IMMEDIATELY, and thank God I did!!!👍🏼💖
I just started using it and I love it so far too! In addition to it seeming to have a nice hydrating effect on my skin, it's super luxurious to apply, it feels and smells so nice. Some fragrance-free products have what I can only describe as a drugstore skincare smell, but this stuff somehow smells sweet and lovely (in a very subtle way). I do find that I have to use a lot of it, but my skin is very dehydration-prone.
I did not know that the aveno oat gel moisturizer had centella asiatica. That's wonderful as I can now go from 2 products (the ampoule she mentioned and a moisturizer) to one. Thanks dr dray for saving me time and money
It is perfect !! Anytime my skin burns from products or gets sensitive from retinol I use cicaplast on it as a moisturizer and it soothes my skin ( because sometimes I can’t even use my cerave tried n true ) I just use the cicaplast boom
It's perfect. I have been using it for quite some time on my cheeks because my skin is dry there and I like the feeling of it. And I like how it is thick and it makes my skin look good.
@@JHTjersey same!!! Noon at the point where I can use cetaphil again, but my routine is still simple. Cleanse, moisturize, then the baume on top and that’s it if I’m not using tretinoin that night
I also like the Cicaplast Mains hand cream for winter! It doesn’t have centella, but it’s kept my hands from cracking and it’s great for daytime bc it’s not greasy on the hands
I'd love a video dedicated to boobies! Seriously- aging, post children and sagging, under breast chaffing, sensitive or itchy.. (going to try the laroche posay balm as shown on this video. :) ) can we use retin-A or store bought Retinol? What is lifestyle and care advice for breast skin and best products not just for decollete but for all breasts of all shapes and sizes 🥰
I strongly recommend the iunik centella gel! it absorbs quick into your skin, leaving your skin hydrated and juicy. I have combination skin that's also sensitive and acne prone, I got it last summer to try it out and it really calmed down my inflammation and helped with scarring combined with a good sunscreen
I thought about getting it, but bought the purito unscented toner instead because it is more affordable. I like the toner, it helps redness and irritation. Great for my oily/acne prone sensitive skin
I love their centella products, I use their peptide serum (staple item that I just love so much), eye cream and sunscreen. I love that many of the products are available in both scented and unscented ❤️
I have rosacea and the Aveeno oatmeal products are amazing for me lately, they really help tone down the burning discomfort I feel when I touch my face, and they aren't heavy at all, which also helps with stinging I feel with a lot of moisturizers that are thick! Such a great recommendation, so grateful you pointed those out.
I just ordered the Topicals Faded brightening gel, it has nicinamide, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, melatonin, kojic acid, centella, and licorice root. Might be a good one for you to try out Dr. Dray!
I love La Roche Posay Cicaplast, it saved my skin after a reaction from salycilic acid wash, it was red, bumpy and it burned. Other moisturizer actually burned even more this was the only one that just sat nicely on my skin and after 4 days my skin was back to normal. This was wonderful! I use it as a night cream now, and my skin always looks beautiful and feels hydrated in the morning
I apply LRP Cicaplast baume before Azelaic Acid and it saves my face from irritation. Life savior. I have tried Azelaic on top of another moisturizer and it irritated my skin.
@@VendetaI Is it better to apply it before? Does it not dimimish the power of azelaic too much? Im struggling to use high strenght azelaic at the moment without developing dermatitis from dryness it creates.
I would love to see a video on the best one step/one and done moisturizer. I am trying to get away from using tons of serums, etc. and would love to know the best overall, multipurpose moisturizer that can replace many things. I currently use Cerave moisturizing cream and figure that is going to be pretty good.
I love the Cicaplast Baume B5 !!! I have rosacea and my skin loves this Balm! I put it all over my face as a last step at the end- my skin is very dry and this helped me to get better skin. This balm calms my rosacea down, if I get a flush, I put it on my cheeks and the redness is GONE! I would recommend it to everyone who had rosacea, just try it out.. maybe you like it as much as I do.. :)
Do u use it regularly it day( to go out) and night in summers too? Can i use it as a moisturizer and apply sunscreen over it? How much time does it take to heal... ? I have dry rosacea
I appreciate you bringing up chafing under the breast! I have very large breasts and have been struggling with that. Will definitely try that balm out.
One thing to note about the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer is that it doesn't play nicely with sunscreens because of the silicones. It causes pilling like crazy!! Just a word of caution it's best used in the evening.
I have a research background and really appreciate your summaries of the science behind ingredients (for example when you talk about stimulating fibroblast cells and the pathways that are activated to do this). I find it interesting and helpful to understanding!
I bought the Aveeno Oat Gel Moisturizer based on your recommendation from a previous video. Love this stuff. It's been really helpful for irritation that pops up for my oily and rosacea prone skin. Plus its humid here in New Orleans so heavier moisturizers are problematic. I've been trying out various products to see what works best for me. Been working to level up my skincare routine for my much "wiser" skin. All of your info has been so helpful Dr. Dray as I've been doing a deep dive into skin care. Wishing I'd known this in my much younger years! 🙂🙃
I love Centella in products. I’ve been using the Purito Centella serum and a gel/cream product called Madecassoside (it’s a little lighter than Cicaplast Baume) the first for day and the second one overnight. They are both so soothing for my skin! I also love the Missha Time Revolution Artemesia Essence. Thanks for mentioning other products to consider.
Advice for Men: Replace your after shave balm (filled with alcohols and parfumes) with the La Roche Cicaplast. You will be shocked from the results ull thank me later ;)
I was just researching about this the other day.... Thinking of getting the Cosrx Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream for my night time moisturizer. Has niacinamide too, along with centella and ceramides, glycerin, panthenol and ha
It’s great! But it’s very thick just so you know. I have dehydrated oily skin, use Differin every other night (just started 2 weeks ago) and it’s heading to winter where I am, this cream (more like a balm really) really helps me keep that hydration, moisture and retinoid irritation. On my 2nd tube now 😊
When I first saw “cica” products, I thought it was referring to the French word for “scar,” which is “cicatrice.” I don’t think that’s why they’re named that way, but kind of cool that those words are in the same domain of skin!
I just did a google search (was quick, so might have gotten smth wrong) and from what I could find the French word (which apparently also exists in English) comes from the Latin cicatrix. And it seems like Centella IS referred to as cica cream (nickname) because it helps with wounds/scars. So yeah great observation, it's all the same root lol
It is a wonderful ingredient! I notice the redness went away after a few weeks. I hope you can review the Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream. Its one of my best centella product
My personal favorite is Benton's "Goodbye Redness" gel, it works very well as basically a serum step before a moisturizer. I've seen a lot of improvement in my skin ever since I started using it, it really calms the skin and I feel like I get flare-ups of acne less often. :)
Thank you for telling us all the names of the centella components. Sometimes I am at a loss to find ingredients in my skincare that are claimed in the names or product descriptions in the inci lists.
I have rosacea and I’ve been using the La Roche Posay Cicablast Baum (thanks mom) for 5 years. I have truthfully only seen great results with this product. Granted, I do not use it every day due to how strong it is.
Thank you for the clarification about cica and centella! I love the Cosrx cica products. I got the Cicaplast and while it is too heavy for my skin as an allover treatment, it is wonderful as a spot treatment for irritated spots and it feels so cool and soothing, instead of thick and sticky like most healing creams.
Are they good for soothing treatment for older skins reaction to treinoin, clindamycin and Finacea and "senile" acne- I need to listen again and do some research plus find an affordable source in Canada. Be back...Namaste, audio Brit thriller time...Z
If you have oily but also a little dry irritated skin don’t have any fear to use Cicaplast, infact is a true skin saviour!!! I had also acne and Cicaplast combined with 10% azelaic acid cream extremely calming and soothing but also pore unclogging plus Cerave literally perfected my skin like the best!!! Best wishes to you all with your skin 💫
Cicaplast Baume saves me from myself! My skin problems are usually from my own doings, so I reach for this product pretty regularly. Also I absolutely love Round Lab! I use their sunscreen, it's pleasant and sits well under makeup.
Dr. Dray- I just had to share something with you. I’m trying to cut unnecessary products out of my skincare routine to simplify things. A couple of products that you recommended in some recent videos checked all the.boxes for me so I went ahead & purchased them; the first is the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer & the second one is the Rovectin skin essentials activating treatment lotion. I gotta hand it to you that so far, so good. I’m loving these products and they feel right for me. As a bonus, they’re also more affordable than some other skincare I was trying. THANK YOU for being you because you help so many of us out here on your channel with your knowledge, patience, humor, Costco trips, coffee mugs, smiles, “Well hey guys”! & more! You’re the best and I appreciate your work! ❤️
You might prefer the version for hands. It's in a slightly bigger tube and alse contains nicinemide. I find the texture better for very dry or irritated skin, especially if u already 'slug'.
Greetings Dr. Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Wednesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid.... thanks n Really Appreciate u 4 Educating us about Centella n All it’s Benefits n Showing us Products that Contain it.... So Cool n Helpful👍n Continued Blessings to All💜....
I think you have been reading my brain in doing this post! I have concerns with redness from using a retinol and have considered laser treatments for dealing with the redness. I might try a centella product first! You are such a skincare rockstar! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️
Thank you for introducing me to CosRX! I started Tretinoin this year and their products are really helping with the irritation. My skin loves it!...(also the LaRoche Posay Cicaplast)
cicaplast really disappointed me. it feels like sunscreen and did not seem to help my skin at all when it was irritated and i only woke with drier skin because its not moisturizing at all. but i dont wanna give up on centella because i need something for irritated days so i will try another product. thx
If you really wanna go all in with the Centella, I highly recommend the Purito Unscented Centella serum & the Aveeno oat gel. You could even use them together. Both are super soothing, super hydrating, but so so light, cooling, and refreshing. I know everyone’s skin is different, so I don’t wanna make promises, but I really think you’d have a whole different experience w them
Centella is the very last ingredient in the Aveeno Oat Gel moisturizer... so doesn't that mean there is barely any centella in the product? I am wondering if it would even have any benefit to the skin being in such a low concentration in the formulation.
I was wondering that too, people seem to be having great results with it, though, maybe it’s the oats. I’ve never used it, is the ingredient list long? If not the chance of a higher amount of centella are better
Good timing! I just had a biopsy and I’m building a regimen to reduce the chances it will leave a noticeable scar 😊 Also, do you have a video covering hemosiderin? Thank you Dray! ❤️
VE Tsai I think I have it on my shin and my dermatologist said he believes it’s left over from bruising. I wanted to see if there was ways of reducing it
Been using COSRX Hydrium Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule AM after cleanse and before the cerave 30 lotion, and my skin is less red, irritated and more homogeneous in the T zone. I've also added a Licorice serum in the PM routine. It's been two weeks now, less scratching the face :)
That Aveeno Oat gel moisturizer is my new favorite. It’s a little rich for my finicky skin and sometimes I form comedones from using it too many days in a row, so I combat that by rotating a cleanser for oily, acne prone skin. I love it too much to just stop using it. Makes me look lifted, glowy and takes years off my face.😳 I just ran out so I’ve been using LRP Lipikar while my skin is still in its winter freakout phase. Wanna try the Cicaplast. I just adore LaRoche-Posay.
"If I haven't mentioned already, all the products I'm recommending do NOT contain fragrance!"---wouldn't expect anything less from you, Doc! 😊
Thank you Dr. Dray for your very thorough discussion on Centella and its varied components. Listing them will be so helpful when searching these ingredients out. Btw, you look great. Your skin is so clear and healthy looking. I like your leopard sweater (love animal prints), your necklace and earrings. Very pulled together and classy. You rock!
Can you do a "top 5 ingredients" series?
Top 5 ingredients for acne, wrinkles, collagen, hyperpigmentation...
I’m wondering if “adenosine” or “glycine” would be in a Top 5 ingredients video for wrinkles!
Good idea
@@doodoo7207 i would be cool to have alternatives that are less irritating :)
Saponins, that's so interesting - is that the same as the part of a plant that can be made into a soap?
I love watching your videos.😘😇
What if you had to spend 100 days on a desert island all alone? What three things would you take with you?
I hated the lp cicaplast but loved the aveeno oat gel
It doesn’t say anywhere the la Roche posay Baum has centella in it??
i currently use Cerave Healing Ointment at night as my last step to "slug" because I have crazy dry skin... but I'm intrigued by that LRP cicaplast baume... could I use that as a similar step in my routine?

I have found products at amazon that the origin is from Korea Japan etc are not original products they are counterfeit
the size of the coffee mugs take me by surprise every time!!
💙☕️
Ditto!🤣
No caffeine though, don't think.
Life goals!
I really miss those HUGE mugs. We only have tiny ones here, made for dolls.
I also like the Purito Centella Green Level Recovery Cream! It soothes redness and irritation instantly. Fun fact: Centella is known as Tiger Grass because tigers will instinctively roll in this grass after fights to soothe their wounds. So cool!
I bought it and it breaks me out for some reason and I don't really break out! So I just use it on my neck and hands. It feels so nice so that made me sad!
True. I like it as well as I use it during the day after night Differin tratment. Good when combined with Cerave.
That's interesting to know
@@jenniferwray3329 Maybe because it's fragranced? I recommend the unscented version, Purito Centella Unscented Serum
@@niac.2970 I wasn't talking about the serum. I was referring to the recovery cream, and mine is the non fragrance version.
Dr. Dray: If you see smoke I’m not on fire.
Us: Oh but, yes girl, yes you are.

The Oat Moisturizer is my new holy grail! I’ve been using it for about a month and it has transformed my skin! Thanks for the recommendation
Hi! Im thinking of getting it. How has it transformed your skin? What kind of skin do you have if you don’t mind me asking?💖
That stuff literally repaired my skin in three days flat! I had an allergic reaction to a new sunscreen I tried, and my skin began to CRACK!!! I went out and bought the Calm and Restore cream IMMEDIATELY, and thank God I did!!!👍🏼💖

I do find that I have to use a lot of it, but my skin is very dehydration-prone.
Same here!
How do you use it? I just bought it and don’t have any idea if this goes before everything else I use (retinol, moisturizer)
I’m not on fire, she says with a smile 😃 lol
But we all know she is!
Gave me a chuckle, anyway!🤣
that was actually cute :D
I bought Cicaplast on your recommendation and it has been awesome when I'm recovering from a dermatitis flare up. ❤
I did not know that the aveno oat gel moisturizer had centella asiatica. That's wonderful as I can now go from 2 products (the ampoule she mentioned and a moisturizer) to one. Thanks dr dray for saving me time and money
I wasn’t sure about the Cicaplast Baume but I really like it :)
👍🏼
It's just way too thick for my holy o i l y skin :"(

Purito also has an unscented Cetntilla serum that’s really good
Love this one! It’s my fav
I love it tooooo!!
Does it help calm acne. I get occasional cystic acne. Its like a red bump that stays under the skin :(
Cicaplast Baume pretty much saved my hands from my annual “winter cracking”! First time in DECADES that my fingers didn’t crack open and bleed!!!💘
I also like the Cicaplast Mains hand cream for winter! It doesn’t have centella, but it’s kept my hands from cracking and it’s great for daytime bc it’s not greasy on the hands
Finally! This ingredient seems amazing but I don’t know anything about it...LOL thank you💖

It has a fragrance ingredients though.
It has fragrance and ended up drying out my skin. That one's a no for me.
You have to try the purito uncented centella serum, it’s 49% centella extract! Amazing!!
I thought about getting it, but bought the purito unscented toner instead because it is more affordable. I like the toner, it helps redness and irritation. Great for my oily/acne prone sensitive skin

Aveeno eczema therapy, then tretinoin, then CICAPLAST nigth and morning and never feel irritación because the tretinoin

I got the Cicaplast and while it is too heavy for my skin as an allover treatment, it is wonderful as a spot treatment for irritated spots and it feels so cool and soothing, instead of thick and sticky like most healing creams.
Happy Wednesday!!!
Happy Wednesday
Are they good for soothing treatment for older skins reaction to treinoin, clindamycin and Finacea and "senile" acne- I need to listen again and do some research plus find an affordable source in Canada. Be back...Namaste, audio Brit thriller time...Z
I’m amazed that you know about that uriage product !
That's a bigger Cicaplast tube than I've ever seen. I've only ever seen the smaller one.
We call it Gotu Kola here in India and it's in many skincare products since years, age old ingredient as per Ayurveda too
If you have oily but also a little dry irritated skin don’t have any fear to use Cicaplast, infact is a true skin saviour!!! I had also acne and Cicaplast combined with 10% azelaic acid cream extremely calming and soothing but also pore unclogging plus Cerave literally perfected my skin like the best!!! Best wishes to you all with your skin 💫
Doesn’t the cicaplast cause breakouts because of the Shea butter? Any other options?
Would the cicaplast balm be too thick to use along side a retinol serum for body areas with stretch marks?
I have been using purito centella toner and serum fragrance-free version. They both helped me recover from winter breakout and my face is sooo soft!
Those are great and very affordable. I also like the fragrance free Centella cream.
Please please PLEASE do a video on tazarotene Dr. Dray! We now know a lot about retinol, differin and tretinoin. But what about tazarotene?
Cicaplast Baume saves me from myself! My skin problems are usually from my own doings, so I reach for this product pretty regularly. Also I absolutely love Round Lab! I use their sunscreen, it's pleasant and sits well under makeup.
Dr. Dray- I just had to share something with you. I’m trying to cut unnecessary products out of my skincare routine to simplify things. A couple of products that you recommended in some recent videos checked all the.boxes for me so I went ahead & purchased them; the first is the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer & the second one is the Rovectin skin essentials activating treatment lotion. I gotta hand it to you that so far, so good. I’m loving these products and they feel right for me. As a bonus, they’re also more affordable than some other skincare I was trying. THANK YOU for being you because you help so many of us out here on your channel with your knowledge, patience, humor, Costco trips, coffee mugs, smiles, “Well hey guys”! & more! You’re the best and I appreciate your work! ❤️
That leopard print shirt is nice Dr Dray !!
I swear by the Some by Mi AHA/BHA/PHA Miracle Cream! It has a high concentration of centella and has transformed my skin in the best way.
Sounds great🌸
Dr Dray LRP have cicaplast baume with spf 50 incorporated, prob u were aware but could you pls review it for sunscreen videos?😅🙏💜
Where did you purchase?
You might prefer the version for hands. It's in a slightly bigger tube and alse contains nicinemide. I find the texture better for very dry or irritated skin, especially if u already 'slug'.
Can you talk about Uriage products in general? Like a video about them?
Greetings Dr. Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Wednesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid.... thanks n Really Appreciate u 4 Educating us about Centella n All it’s Benefits n Showing us Products that Contain it.... So Cool n Helpful👍n Continued Blessings to All💜....
Happy Wednesday Whitney enjoy your day friend 😊 🥰🥰🌻
I love and have tried most of the products mentioned here, centella always calms my perpetually irritated skin ❤️
I think you have been reading my brain in doing this post! I have concerns with redness from using a retinol and have considered laser treatments for dealing with the redness. I might try a centella product first! You are such a skincare rockstar! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️
Thank you for introducing me to CosRX! I started Tretinoin this year and their products are really helping with the irritation. My skin loves it!...(also the LaRoche Posay Cicaplast)
I’m about to start tret and I’m scared! 😂 any tips other than taking it slow and moisturizing?
Thank you for clearing up the CICA-thing! Didn't know it just menat "healing", not centella! I´ve been so confused about that!
That brief cut "I'm not on fire" 😂😂 yes u areeeeee 🥰
Can you please review Dr. Jart’s Cicapair line? 🙏🏼
She's reviewed the tiger grass cream.
cicaplast really disappointed me. it feels like sunscreen and did not seem to help my skin at all when it was irritated and i only woke with drier skin because its not moisturizing at all. but i dont wanna give up on centella because i need something for irritated days so i will try another product. thx
If you really wanna go all in with the Centella, I highly recommend the Purito Unscented Centella serum & the Aveeno oat gel. You could even use them together. Both are super soothing, super hydrating, but so so light, cooling, and refreshing. I know everyone’s skin is different, so I don’t wanna make promises, but I really think you’d have a whole different experience w them
Centella is the very last ingredient in the Aveeno Oat Gel moisturizer... so doesn't that mean there is barely any centella in the product? I am wondering if it would even have any benefit to the skin being in such a low concentration in the formulation.
I was wondering that too, people seem to be having great results with it, though, maybe it’s the oats. I’ve never used it, is the ingredient list long? If not the chance of a higher amount of centella are better
Good timing! I just had a biopsy and I’m building a regimen to reduce the chances it will leave a noticeable scar 😊 Also, do you have a video covering hemosiderin?
Thank you Dray! ❤️
Hemosiderin is a a pathology finding.
Have you googled it? It may not be dermatological. Either way, I wish you the best!💕
VE Tsai I think I have it on my shin and my dermatologist said he believes it’s left over from bruising. I wanted to see if there was ways of reducing it
Dr Dray my dermatologist believes I have it on my shin from previous trauma. I wanted to see if there are ways of reducing its appearance
Been using COSRX Hydrium Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule AM after cleanse and before the cerave 30 lotion, and my skin is less red, irritated and more homogeneous in the T zone.
I've also added a Licorice serum in the PM routine.
It's been two weeks now, less scratching the face :)
Dr Dray, What do you think of the K-Beauty Midnight Blue calming cream, by Klairs. It has Centella in it. Thank you for your time❣
can you talk about the difference between spf50+ and spf50+ pa++++.
Lab Muffin probably has a video like this. She has lots of videos on spf including testing.
Hi Dr Dray, can this help prevent Keloids from developing? My friend is prone to keloids usually starting out as an acne.
Ok, this is going to sound silly but you are literally the first person I have subscribed to on RUclips. Thank you for your videos!
That Aveeno Oat gel moisturizer is my new favorite. It’s a little rich for my finicky skin and sometimes I form comedones from using it too many days in a row, so I combat that by rotating a cleanser for oily, acne prone skin. I love it too much to just stop using it. Makes me look lifted, glowy and takes years off my face.😳
I just ran out so I’ve been using LRP Lipikar while my skin is still in its winter freakout phase. Wanna try the Cicaplast. I just adore LaRoche-Posay.
