Totally agree with your advice! My face does not like actives (Vitamin C makes my skin go nuts). Happy to hear you rec Vanicream cleanser and cream (so does my derm). Been using them on my face and body for years. No breakouts. I have super, super sensitive skin. I know what you mean when you say the cream is tacky. Doesn't bother me (on my body, not tacky at all). Had high hopes for Vanicream's new lotion with Ceramides but it makes me break out as does their regular lotion and both feel awful on my face...The cleanser can be drying for some but I double cleanse. I know it's not your thing but I use a water-resistant sunscreen and Vanicream Cleanser will not take it off. Via some magic, the cleansing oil (fragrance-free), reduces the dryness. For sunscreen, I admit, I order EVY Kids 50 from overseas (sensitive folks, don't order the Face version!). It's the only sunscreen that agrees with my face. I've tried dozens from the U.S. and overseas - even the Vanicream, which I can only use on my body. Awful on my face. It's wicked white, even on my fair skin and tacky but if you rub, rub, rub, it disappears. Not fond of rub, rub, rub....Willing to spend more for a sunscreen for my face... I should come see you. I live in NYC.
Thank you. I have developed eczema(diagnosed through a Dermatologist with 2 biopsies) in the last year and a half. It seems to present differently on my face and neck than on my legs. There is rarely a day that I don't have a "breakout". I used a lot of prescribed ointments which is like playing wack a mole. I have been following suggestions from people as far as dandruff shampoo, certain baths and creams of course recommended from the eczema assoc also changed to clear detergent. My derm has said that they are seeing so much of this since the covid vaccine which I had with 2 boosters. I know this is controversial but since I never had it before I can't tell what is triggering the breakouts. The red sores on my legs and bumps on my face and neck are unsightly but the itch is over the top. My husband is also new to this affliction and is also vaccinated and boostered. Is there an answer to this. Thanks again.
Oh and my favorite SPF50 is also made by La Roche Posay - it is their UVMUNE 400 fluid! 😃👍 Awesome product! Super light and doesn’t break me out. I love it so much! It’s perfect underneath the makeup as well.
hey! i have been using minoxidil 5% solution and its always transparent with little to no smell and when i purchased this time its light yellow and smell pungent . Does it lose its efficacy?(please reply)
As someone with sensitive skin who is in my 40s, I am constantly trying products only to have them make my skin itchy, burn, and irritated. This is one reason I generally stick with a product once I find something that works, until they stop making it or change the formula. I have been devouring your channel since I found it last night and this information is SO amazing. Thank you!!!!
Full disclosure: before I discovered Asian sunscreens I rarely wore sunscreens beyond beach/pool/lake/hiking times. Definitely NOT every day. And I'm a Fitzpatrick 1-2! I've had those bad sunburns that make you feel nauseous 😫. But the sunscreens we have here also made me feel awful, like I had a plastic film on my skin. The odors of them made me nauseous. At 25yo, I all of a sudden had bad seasonal allergies, asthma, and got roseacea. I joke around that my atopic gene got activated. The roseacea was what got me (many years later) looking at Korean skincare and interested in their sunscreens. I watched Dr. Dray discuss some and decided to try one of those. The completely different experience led me to become a (almost) daily wearer who has sunscreen in my bag to reapply 😁. I hope the FDA either decides to continue looking the other way or gets off their butts and approves the better filters they use in Asia and Europe, because I would not be making healthier skin choices if it wasn't for them. My go to brand is the simple, elegant Pyunknag Yul brand, specifically their ATO line. My very reactive skin looooves their moisturizers, oil, and sun cream.
My skin always was acne prone. And then HELLO, you also have sensitive skin or the skin became sensitive while I was treating it. It just freaked out and I had to stop torturing it. "Back to basics" worked out! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for useful videos, Dr. Shereene! 💜💜💜
Sensitive here - thank you for this! I would love for you to do a video on how to find a good dermatologist. What kind of dermatologist should we look for based on our goals (medical or cosmetic)? What kind of appointment do we ask for to get more than 15 minutes? What questions do we ask to find out what their approach is?
My skin (Black/African)become sensitized by using tretnoin incorrectly. Thereafter,no more tretnoin 2 years later. I'm back to basics . I only use one active like every 2 days and keep track with a physical calendar.i literally schedule my skincare ( actives and non-actives). Great and Accurate tips Dr.Idriss
I have the most sensitive skin on the planet! But if you use the ingredients as directed and follow the directions by your doctor a actual doctor not something you order online then you should be fine! A lot of people just watch RUclips videos or read stuff online to be able to achieve the results that you're looking for and yes it is absolutely possible and very achievable to get the glass skin effect you see and hear about but to achieve that not only do you need the correct ingredients followed by the correct dosing and directions to use them you must have a dermatologist! Not one that you watch on RUclips but go to an actual dermatologist! It is expensive but if you have insurance especially good insurance you should be fine. If you can't afford a dermatologist I would just recommend using the bare minimum on your skin because if you don't go to an actual professional and in this case dealing with the skin you need a dermatologist you can do great significant damage to yourself! I can tell you a great line that is affordable and does wonders for very sensitive skin whether you're African American or Caucasian or Latino or blue or green or from outer space it doesn't matter! Aveeno soothing calm oat serum face wash and gel moisturizer are absolutely phenomenal! They are the most soothing ingredients I have found even compared to my several hundred dollar products that I use. It doesn't matter how tore up your skin is if you use these products and nothing else your face will heal almost overnight and that's not an understatement it will take the red irritation and pain right out of your skin literally the first time you use it especially the serum! So if you buy those three things and use nothing else except a good sunscreen for at least a month you will have your Skin barrier back to damn near perfect! Then you can move on to other things. But I can't strongly recommend enough going to an actual board certified dermatologist that you actually go into an office and see not one online! Yes you can get good advice online but it is not the same thing as actually having a doctor who went to school for this to look at your skin type and your face and diagnose and treat you with the proper products! I love my dermatologist I wish I had went to one years ago he has made such a difference in my skin! I literally have the glass skin that everybody talks about and I'm not trying to boast or brag about myself because years ago my skin was horrible absolutely horrible but it's not anymore! My skin is absolutely gorgeous and glowing and I'm so thankful to him for that and to myself for actually following directions and doing what he told me to! I literally do not wear makeup at all anymore unless I'm going out on a date with my husband or to something important! The only thing that goes on my face everyday is a tented sunscreen that is it nothing more except for some clear brow gel to keep my brows in place and that's it I don't even need mascara or anything else I have never in my life got so many compliments that I have gotten in the past 2 years and it just keeps getting better and I'm so thankful for that! I used to suffer horribly with cystic acne I mean it was absolutely horrible thank God I didn't have any scarring from the acne I'm so thankful for that but I did have constant painful breakouts that were so embarrassing and I would try to hide that with makeup and that was definitely not the right thing to do I tried every expensive bougie product you can think of but nothing was working and I have always wore sunscreen every single day of the year doesn't matter if it's January or July I always wear sunscreen but my problem was I needed to go to an actual professional and finally when I did that my whole world started to change and literally within 6 months of treatment and seeing a professional my face had cleared completely up I don't even have one single blackhead on my face and my pores are almost non-existent I can't express what a difference it will make for you if you will find a board certified dermatologist to call your own and not use anything on RUclips or Google actually go to a doctor you will be so surprised at what your skin can turn into no matter how bad it is I promise it can be a hundred times better if you will just make an appointment and go! Just make sure you actually research and look at reviews and find the right doctor that's for you don't just go by a fancy doctor's office actually look the doctor up find out how long they've been practicing do they have any medical malpractices against them what have their patience had to say and not just recent reviews look back several years back that's what I did I found the best dermatologist ever and he's actually one of the best in the country I'm so thankful that I did my research I really pray that you are able to get your skin the way that you want it but if you will just take my advice I promise you will not regret it! But if you are not financially able to afford to go to a dermatologist if you will at least use those ingredients that I just told you about I promise you your face will be so much more calm and healthy just within a few days of using it but definitely if you use it for a month your face will be pretty much healed completely up and Your Skin barrier back intact but you will feel the relief literally from day one when you use those products it amazes me how well and wonderful they are considering they are so simple and basic and inexpensive I have products that cost $400 and more and none of it can make my skin feel as good as that simple brand that I just told you about but it can't just be anything from them it has to be those three products I told you about I promise you won't regret it I really do I wish you the best of luck take care!
Have you started to incorporate a peptide serum or cream? Peptides can aid the skin in regenerating the skin barrier if damaged. They are in many over the counter retinol formulations to reduce irritation.
Same!!! Tretinoin is too harsh for my skin. My skin barrier is becoming thinner after having the acne on my face. I got a light therapy device from #touchbeauty. The blue light works pretty well for my acne skin. It does not instantly result during the skincare routine. But I can feel my skin is much smoother than before. The breakout is decreasing in my cheeks. 😘
This video was perfect for people with sensitive skin. Viewers, please follow this advice if you have red, irritable skin. The products mentioned really work and can be trusted. Thank you Dr. Idriss! ❤️
Hi Dr. Idriss, thank you for your videos! Could you please talk about skincare and skin changes in EDS patients or those with collagen disorders? EDS looks different in different people, but we tend to have skin symptoms, and it's so hard at times to be heard by medical practitioners about our issues. Dry eyes, stretchy skin, skin barrier poor healing, odd aging, mast cell activation syndrome rashes, etc...
That La Roche-Posay Cicaplast cream has an SPF 50 version! It's my absolutely favourite sunscreen (I'm currently on my 5th tube?), though imo it works best for people with drier skin as it is equally as rich as the non-SPF version. Either way, it's not sticky, doesn't leave much of a whitecast, works great under makeup (if you don't like the intense shine it gives a little bit of translucent powder takes care of it just fine), and doesn't irritate the eyes (something I struggle with a lot as well when it comes to sunscreens). The skin looks nice and glowy, and I noticed much less irritation at the end of the day compared to other sunscreens I've tried. It's available in the US too for around 10 bucks for 40ml (1.35oz)! Btw thank you for another amazing video ❤️ I love your content (you actually convinced me to try retinol, I was too scared of actives before) and your sense of humour 😊 Hope you have an amazing day!
Yaay this is my first Saturday here! Discovered you a few days ago and have been binging your video ever since. You are amazing! Thank you for giving us all of this amazing content for free ❤️
@@redP. you shouldn't be shocked she's actually a board-certified practicing dermatologist that's why she has so much knowledge because she is actually a doctor not just a RUclips personality!
I have dry and sensitive skin 🙋🏼♀ For that reason I absolutely love La Roche Posay Lipikar line of products! I tried their products for showering and moisturizing my body, and I will try their products for the face as well after finishing the products I already have for my face. I only use fragrance free skincare. I prefer them over CeraVe because a lot of CeraVe products contain mineral oils that break me out. I use makeup daily though and I try to use mostly makeup that is cruelty free and often times fragrance free (not always, but in some products the fragrance doesn’t bother me - lipsticks, eyeshadows, lip glosses…). Estée Lauder Double Wear is a fragrance free foundation but it is not cruelty free and that’s a bummer. I just ordered Light Wonder foundation from Charlotte Tilbury and hopefully my skin won’t react to it. I’ve seen Charlotte putting that foundation on someone who has rosacea so I’m hopeful 😊 I don’t have rosacea though. Anyways, love your channel! Thank you for your help! ❤
I have 2 points of constructive feedback for this vid. 1. Dr Jart uses essential oils in all their products and it seems ill advised to be recommending something with Citrus Essential oils then proceed to discuss why fragrance free products are important for sensitive skin. Both Fragrance AND essential oils should be avoided with sensitive skin and rosacea especially in general. They both have the same irritating fragrant compounds (Terpenes) that cause issues on skin. It would be helpful to at least explicitly disclose those in the future if you do continue to suggest products with EO. I know you are not quite as concerned with them personally but it is an issue for people with sensitivities to fragrance. 2. The entire section about marketing claims with "hypoallergenic" and "anti-redness" is all marketing nonsense. It means nothing and isnt regulated in any way. Something marketed as hypoallergenic can still have Essential Oils. (Even fragrance free products can). Hypoallergenic is not a useful term to consumers because it is not used in a consistent way to mean what it should. It could have EO or menthol or methylisochlorothiazolinone. From the FDA website: "There are no Federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the term "hypoallergenic." The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean. Manufacturers of cosmetics labeled as hypoallergenic are not required to submit substantiation of their hypoallergenicity claims to FDA."
Thank you so so much for covering this. My skin has become so sensitive and delicate since going through the menopause. It’s really hard to navigate a whole new skin type and now becomes so irritated by pretty much anything. Your description is so apt for my skin these days! The thing I truly struggle with is how to remove makeup as micellar water, cotton pads, oils , balms all really really irritate my skin but most gentle cleansers just don’t remove makeup. Vanicream sounds good but not available in the UK but the search goes on…..!
@@JustBeingAwesome thanks. Yes, I have tried both of those. The Lancôme is ok-ish for my eyes but it’s really my base makeup that I’d like to remove more efficiently and gently. Have actually tried the Caudalie but had a lot of irritation. Thanks for your suggestions though!
Or, you could use a gentle cleanser such as Cerave, on your dry skin first. That will break up your makeup better. Then rinse and cleanse again with the same product.
@@kendallstark4302 thanks Kendall. At the moment, it doesn’t seem to even tolerate Cerave. Thinking the extreme heat here in the UK isn’t helping much either! Thanks so much for help
This was SO helpful! Thank you for posting this. You always explain things so clearly :) I'm not sure if you have covered this but as my skin ages (41 yo) I would like to start using actives on my skin and don't know where/how to start. I have sensitive skin that is becoming drier (previously combination/oily). I still break out a bit - since this video I am going to try switching sunscreens. I live in a very humid climate (Pacific NW), but work in a dry building. I have a history of significant Sun exposure r/t prev careers. If I was going to start with one active ingredient - what would you suggest? At what concentration and frequency?
First summer I have been using Avène's Triprotect 50SPF... and my God, what a difference it has made to my summer skin. No more runny eyes, no more small inflammations everywhere, no whitecast and my skin is well hydrated. It's a tiny (!) bit greasy but I just apply a tiny layer of 30 SPF powder on top and it looks great and natural 👌
Thanks for this video; I have a sensitive skin. Interestingly, I've tried the Beauty of Josein sunscreen and had a negative reaction on my face and I tried it three times, so it's the product. I can use it on my neck and arms, so don't need to waste it. But it gives me red bumps on my face and burns, especially my eyes.
A lot of people have been reacting negatively to the probiotics found in that product: Try the Round Lab sunscreen instead. It’s as elegantly textured as the Beauty of Joseon and it doesn’t contain probiotics.
Funny. Zinc oxide makes my face immediately turn red and itchy. I can only use the new generation chemical filters. The old generation filters burns my skin.
Yes! Yes! REACTIVE skin. My dermatologist confirmed it. Nailed it, Dr. Shereen. The pressure of trying new, great, wonder-skin products is great and dreadful. ZINC? ZINC? Who knew? Thank you 🙏 😃
Oh I picked a perfect day to start following your channel! I have EDS/MCAS so definitely need more tips on sensitive skincare. I’m trying to learn a proper routine kind of late (in my 30s) after taking my youthful looking EDS skin for granted my whole life. Now I’m getting terrible scars and the first tiiiiniest signs of fine lines, barely, so I figured better actually get this stuff figured out! Anyway, really enjoying the videos so far, thank you for putting all this info out there! Also is there any chance you might do a video on complex skin issues in the future, like EDS skin, in particular wound care? I have a NIGHTMARE of a time with that! Bandaids (or any adhesive) cause hives. Hydrocolloid patches cause my skin to basically dissolve, and then tear the top layer off, reopening the wound. Almost every wound on my chest, even the tiniest little blemish, has started leaving either white-pink shiny keloid or hypertrophic (not exactly sure which?) scars behind. So many scar creams I’ve tried cause hives. 😩 Whenever I try googling the correct method to use to manage wounds with delicate skin I get such conflicting info about what the right strategies are. Or info that may work fine for normal skin but not for people with connective tissue disorders or otherwise very delicate/fragile skin. I really need to go to a derm and get this stuff sorted (and ask about laser scar removal or something to fix my chest and neck) but am never sure how to find drs knowledgeable about EDS! It’s always a struggle.
the skinceuticals sunscreen always stings my skin and feels like it has little particles that polish when I apply it :/ and i have no sensitive skin, i use tret 1%, i dont know what happens with this sunscreen in particular but i am surprised is always recomended by derms for sensitive skin
Looking forward every Saturday for your latest vlog. It’s like a virtual date with you. Your vlog is the best thing that ever happened to skin care world. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so incredibly much & I definitely agree with everything you said. My skin is … I don’t know how to describe it anymore. I definitely have to approach everything carefully & use as minimal products as possible… cleanser, moisturiser , a serum and azelaic acid. Would love to hear more about rosacea too ( I’m starting to have more redness I have noticed and am quite worried…. Would love to hear your thoughts on La roche posay Rosaliac intense serum actually!) Thank you so incredibly much again … and love your personality Edit… love that by La roche cicaplast- is a life saver at times and a few of there moisturisers & facial cleanser are ama . Always in my bathroom and use daily
I’m having this skin rashes for months. I believe it’s called pityriasis rosea. I saw a dermatologist and she prescribed me ketoconazole and wynzora. Been consistently applied it for more than a month but it doesn’t seem to go away. I would appreciate if you can make a video about the cause, treatment and what I can do to avoid reoccurrence in the future. Thank you ♥️
Good morning. Could you talk about how home devices with RF, ultrasound, and red light therapy can trigger melasma, PIH, etc. And HOW to use? I have the whitest-brown skin if that makes sense.
Another question! 😝 Could you possibly do a video about probiotics for the skin, specifically the bio kult mind probiotics which are an actual treatment for Parkinson, because of the relation between Parkinson and Seborrheic dermatitis, some people on the internet have claimed that this has greatly helped them not even to subdue flare ups but from getting them altogether... I've been wanting to get them but they do not ship to my country just yet. But I'm wondering if there are other small steps we could take for candida's monarchy. THANK YOU
Thank you for your words of wisdom again!! I have combo skin but had to relearn everything after treatments for Melasma and incorporating tretionin into my skin routine left me sensitive. THANK YOU for this channel!!
Excellent advice! Patch testing changed everything for me. Now I can cross-check my known sensitivies with products on Skin Safe, and my eczema flares much less frequently. Even so, I got burned by not patch testing recently. I tried a new cleanser that was the same brand as my usual, advertised for sensitive skin, approved by the Eczema Association. I used it on my whole face, and ended up regretting it.
Thank you Dr Idriss. I look forward to your videos each week. Please continue. Depending on the weather my skin can occasionally become sensitive. Since following you I have been become a Vanicream fan…cleanser, ointment, deodorant and cream have saved my skin. Also I have found using Vanicream 50+ sunscreen around my eyes stopped the burning problem. The “white ghost” look gets covered by shadow base and concealer then I apply another sunscreen on rest of my face and neck. (This week it’s La Roche Posay Double repair UV).
Honestly speaking I love a cameo by your husband 😂😂. Its hilarious specially your reaction. Can you also make a video about hyperpigmentation around knees and elbows?
I'm laughing so hard every time I see your husband showing up. I feel like it's the perfect meme for him to show up randomly, and if there is no cameo I feel like the video is missing something :)
Thank you for your videos dr. Idriss, could you talk about other antioxidants like revevastrol, pycnogenol or euk134?? I havent found a vit C that i like or "more like it, that i cant afford paying" before its gone to waste or a derivarte that it doesnt really have the properties of vit C. Sorry for my english and thank you so much🤗
I moved from a very humid climate to a fairly dry climate. The zinc oxide sunscreen I used in Florida dried out my skin in Colorado. Turns out, zinc oxide has a mild astringent effect! Once I switched to a chemical sunscreen, the issue went away. It was a bummer, I liked that previous one.
I'd love to hear any advice you may have for people wanting to pursue medical school as a career change. I'm 28 and I went to school for Labor Relations and realized after graduating it wasn't something I was enjoying or wanting to pursue anymore. I'm planning to apply for medical programs within the next 2 years after finishing some pre-reqs. Did you go to med school with anyone in similar situations? I'd also love to hear any suggestions you may have before applying. (Also, that Balm B5 is so good!!)
was literally just binging your channel❤️ I am on a quest for finding a nighttime face cream WITHOUT HA... and oh boy..... But i saw you recommended la rouche posay and i think i have found a winner. i of course have to try it, but the ingredient list looks really simple and good. can't believe how hard it is to find a moisturizer without hyaluronic acid.
It’s amazing ! Completely saved my skin within two weeks - can’t recommend enough. In Europe they sell the same one but with SPF for daytime… Hopefully it’s just as glorious haha!
Does anyone have a tip for sensitive skin during allergies/weather changes etc? I’m fine with fragrance and most other typical sensitive problems, but pollen completely ruins my skin (itching, hurting, redness, etc) and fast weather changes also really dry out my skin 😅
Thank you for laying things out so clearly! I’ve been struggling with finding products (no actives, of course!) for my son who has very reactive and textured skin. Subscribed!
I'm so stresfull, my skin very sensitive and dry... Every product for sensitive skin i've been tried but not one worked for me, i don't understand what my skin needed? I'm so stresfull😭....
I’m not too sensitive but I’m a lifelong physical spf user and I tried a few chemical spfs before n they either cause breakouts or recently I got an eczema flare up. so thank you for this video! I do most of these but honestly I just go see a dermatologist if it gets bad enough lol
Hi Dr Shereene. Patch testing is a bit more of a laborious process for me than you described lol. No new product ever goes near my face before it has been tried on the body twice and the neck/behind the ear. I have rosacea and the centre of my face will react to things my neck, or perimeter of the face tolerate fine. I also have eczema, so my body skin is quite sensitive too. There have been many times I've been grateful I tried something on the inner elbow first lol. My process is as follows: Ist day apply a small dab to the inner elbow and monitor for 24 hours 2nd day apply a small dab to the bust area in an inconspicuous place and again monitor for 24 hours 3rd day apply a small dab behind the ear and watch for 24 hours 4th day a very small dab on the chin and see how that goes 5th day if no issues apply to whole face I devised this method as the best for me, when i've had miserable reactions despite normal patch testing methods. I can't put something remotely near my face without trying on less sensitive areas first, as I could have a fairly severe reaction. Recently I tried the Stratia liquid gold (much hyped, beloved in the skincare community and fragrance free). I had to wash it off my arm after less than 30 seconds and apply my steroid ointment to deal with the rash that appeared. I had a quick reaction to it and a fairly fierce reaction. Difficult to pinpoint the ingredient, but perhaps the sea buckthorn as I don't think I've used that before. In any case it was given to a friend with the appropriate warning, but they like it fine. I don't just have "sensitive" skin, but have hyper reactive skin and have to be really careful. Best wishes.
You don't have to look like butt face or spend a lot of money for a great zinc sunscreen. Try Coppertone Pure and Simple 50SPF baby 100% mineral sunscreen. Under $10 for 6oz, goes on white but becomes invisible. I wear it on my face daily with a little strategically placed tinted mineral sunscreen as a bronzer. 💖 I use CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser which easily removes it along with my mascara. You're welcome.
I have decided I am allergic/reactive to some kind of common ingredient in all sunscreens. I cannot find one-even sensitive/baby/all mineral sunscreen. I have actually just given up. I have spent so much money trying to find one. I do plan to see a dermatologist this year.
I can only assume it is legal to purchase sunscreens from other countries because other countries create these as cosmetics, not drugs. They're sold as "lotions" even though they put an SPF on the packaging. Either way I'm glad this is the case because they look better and ARE better than US sunscreens in every possible way.
I live in the skin cancer capital of the world (Sydney, Australia) and our sunscreens are a high standard because they have to undergo rigorous testing and approval processes. So look for Australian brands. Bondi Sands SPF50 is a good one.
@@SueRosalie I'm jealous of the regulations there compared to here. Unfortunately it's not the easiest to access sunscreens internationally. Asian sunscreens even take a long time to get here and stylevana and yestyle exist solely to ship internationally. I choose Asian sunscreens because they're cosmetically elegant but I'll definitely try to find ways to get Australian sunscreens for outdoor activity use
I do not have sensitive skin but I will be going on accurate in 1 month and I heard that your skin can get very sensitive. Thank you for sharing your awesome tips!
Ty very much! I 100% agree with the Vanicream products. My Sjogrens has been awful after having Covid. The cream in the tub is all I can use in my body. Three times a day. Also the cleanser.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm in Australia and we have cool, dry winters and very hot & humid summers. I have dry skin and just turned 46 and wanted to add some treatments to my skin so in the morning I use a BHA cleanser, followed by Vit C, Moisturriser, Sunscreen. In the evening I use a gentle cleanser, Retnol serum and Moisturiser. I suddenly developped the worst itchy rash around my neck. I went back to basics but unfortunately the rash didn't get any better until I changed my sunscreen! Turns out I developed a really bad reaction to the Naked Sundays Sun Serum! Maybe it's the 10% Homosalte, I don't know but If I would have patch tested, I would have known...
cleansing twice daily is drying. Just cleanse in the evening. Also, a great sunscreen is the Nivea UV Face Shine Control SPF50, and the Bondi Sands Fragrance Free SPF50, both at Coles, Woolworths, Priceline etc.
What about mixing ingredients? If you add a product after using a different one and testing that one out as you said and then you add another one and your skin flares is that Bc they don’t combine well or just the product you added isn’t good for you
You said that your eyes are sensitive. My eyes also react more than the rest of my skin. Why is that? Why does the skin on my cheeks not react the same way as around my eyes? Along with this, how can I patch test when my eyes are the ones that are reacting and not an inconspicuous spot like my back or armpit?
I have oily, sensitive skin and I am grateful for Dr. Jart’s sunscreen. It has been my favorite, however it does leave a bit of a white cast- so you do need to rub it in more. Other than that I wish it came in a bigger container!
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV) Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV) By God's GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.💭
The mineral sunscreen I use and love it’s the cotz flawless complexion spf 50 it leaves no white cast( I have medium/brown skin) but can’t be a bit oily if you have oily skin. Thanks for the video Doc. 😊
Please do review from JLO beauty products! I want to get some products, but I'm not sure if they're worth it :/ Btw, love watching your videos every weekend
Got an order in for the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen…the one she’s not sure can be sold here…less than $10!! With shipping just $15! Supergoop=$36. Fingers crossed!
I keep hearing about this new beauty brand (well, 2018 new) called Dime. Claims to be "all natural" but some of the products are intriguing like the Blue Facial Oil. Maybe you could review or at least speak on some of the ingredients in their popular products?
I'm combo sensitive on the cheeks and around mouth but t-zone is super oily+ cane prone+ back heads do you think I should use two cleanser one that gentle on my cheeks and one that have actives???? Because I honestly I haven't found a proper product that treat both issues if I use soothing cleanser it makes my t-zone oily and vice versa 🙄😔
anyone here , who has tried CeraVe's daytime SPF creme? I usually don't like chemical sunscreen for my eyes, but i heard cerave is suppose to be SO good for sensitive skin. have you tried it ?? :)
@@SueRosalie yea, I have. Zinc is often found in diaper rash creams and ointments to keep baby’s butt dry. I have tried a&d cream and it’s a thick paste and extremely drying. That’s why I’m asking if there’s any other specific moisturizers recommended. I have a&d ointment which is better but unfortunately I’m allergic to lanolin
There are no red flags about shipping sunscreen to US. It’s not seller, but buyer who is responsible party. You do purchase in HK, they just ship your order to you. Probably same rules as when you bring goods from abroad, i.e. custom rules determine what’s allowed
The fact that fragrance free and unscented are not one in the same was very helpful. This video was so informative.
Totally agree with your advice! My face does not like actives (Vitamin C makes my skin go nuts). Happy to hear you rec Vanicream cleanser and cream (so does my derm). Been using them on my face and body for years. No breakouts. I have super, super sensitive skin. I know what you mean when you say the cream is tacky. Doesn't bother me (on my body, not tacky at all).
Had high hopes for Vanicream's new lotion with Ceramides but it makes me break out as does their regular lotion and both feel awful on my face...The cleanser can be drying for some but I double cleanse. I know it's not your thing but I use a water-resistant sunscreen and Vanicream Cleanser will not take it off. Via some magic, the cleansing oil (fragrance-free), reduces the dryness.
For sunscreen, I admit, I order EVY Kids 50 from overseas (sensitive folks, don't order the Face version!). It's the only sunscreen that agrees with my face. I've tried dozens from the U.S. and overseas - even the Vanicream, which I can only use on my body. Awful on my face. It's wicked white, even on my fair skin and tacky but if you rub, rub, rub, it disappears. Not fond of rub, rub, rub....Willing to spend more for a sunscreen for my face...
I should come see you. I live in NYC.
Thank you. I have developed eczema(diagnosed through a Dermatologist with 2 biopsies) in the last year and a half. It seems to present differently on my face and neck than on my legs. There is rarely a day that I don't have a "breakout". I used a lot of prescribed ointments which is like playing wack a mole. I have been following suggestions from people as far as dandruff shampoo, certain baths and creams of course recommended from the eczema assoc also changed to clear detergent. My derm has said that they are seeing so much of this since the covid vaccine which I had with 2 boosters. I know this is controversial but since I never had it before I can't tell what is triggering the breakouts. The red sores on my legs and bumps on my face and neck are unsightly but the itch is over the top. My husband is also new to this affliction and is also vaccinated and boostered. Is there an answer to this. Thanks again.
Oh and my favorite SPF50 is also made by La Roche Posay - it is their UVMUNE 400 fluid! 😃👍 Awesome product! Super light and doesn’t break me out. I love it so much! It’s perfect underneath the makeup as well.
Best teacher everrrrrrrrrrr
Thank you for not calling us skincare nerds today.
hey!
i have been using minoxidil 5% solution and its always transparent with little to no smell and when i purchased this time its light yellow and smell pungent . Does it lose its efficacy?(please reply)
As someone with sensitive skin who is in my 40s, I am constantly trying products only to have them make my skin itchy, burn, and irritated. This is one reason I generally stick with a product once I find something that works, until they stop making it or change the formula.
I have been devouring your channel since I found it last night and this information is SO amazing. Thank you!!!!
What do you use now
Full disclosure: before I discovered Asian sunscreens I rarely wore sunscreens beyond beach/pool/lake/hiking times. Definitely NOT every day. And I'm a Fitzpatrick 1-2! I've had those bad sunburns that make you feel nauseous 😫. But the sunscreens we have here also made me feel awful, like I had a plastic film on my skin. The odors of them made me nauseous. At 25yo, I all of a sudden had bad seasonal allergies, asthma, and got roseacea. I joke around that my atopic gene got activated. The roseacea was what got me (many years later) looking at Korean skincare and interested in their sunscreens. I watched Dr. Dray discuss some and decided to try one of those. The completely different experience led me to become a (almost) daily wearer who has sunscreen in my bag to reapply 😁. I hope the FDA either decides to continue looking the other way or gets off their butts and approves the better filters they use in Asia and Europe, because I would not be making healthier skin choices if it wasn't for them. My go to brand is the simple, elegant Pyunknag Yul brand, specifically their ATO line. My very reactive skin looooves their moisturizers, oil, and sun cream.
My skin always was acne prone. And then HELLO, you also have sensitive skin or the skin became sensitive while I was treating it. It just freaked out and I had to stop torturing it. "Back to basics" worked out! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for useful videos, Dr. Shereene! 💜💜💜
Sensitive here - thank you for this! I would love for you to do a video on how to find a good dermatologist. What kind of dermatologist should we look for based on our goals (medical or cosmetic)? What kind of appointment do we ask for to get more than 15 minutes? What questions do we ask to find out what their approach is?
Vanicream cleanser irritated my skin sooo much. 🤦🏻♀️
MINE TOO! What’s funny is that heavily perfumed cleansers like Lancôme’s and Chanel’s did not.
My skin (Black/African)become sensitized by using tretnoin incorrectly. Thereafter,no more tretnoin 2 years later. I'm back to basics . I only use one active like every 2 days and keep track with a physical calendar.i literally schedule my skincare ( actives and non-actives). Great and Accurate tips Dr.Idriss
That’s a good idea! What active do you use?
Now that's wisdom! I like that you use a calendar to schedule things.
I have the most sensitive skin on the planet! But if you use the ingredients as directed and follow the directions by your doctor a actual doctor not something you order online then you should be fine! A lot of people just watch RUclips videos or read stuff online to be able to achieve the results that you're looking for and yes it is absolutely possible and very achievable to get the glass skin effect you see and hear about but to achieve that not only do you need the correct ingredients followed by the correct dosing and directions to use them you must have a dermatologist! Not one that you watch on RUclips but go to an actual dermatologist! It is expensive but if you have insurance especially good insurance you should be fine. If you can't afford a dermatologist I would just recommend using the bare minimum on your skin because if you don't go to an actual professional and in this case dealing with the skin you need a dermatologist you can do great significant damage to yourself! I can tell you a great line that is affordable and does wonders for very sensitive skin whether you're African American or Caucasian or Latino or blue or green or from outer space it doesn't matter! Aveeno soothing calm oat serum face wash and gel moisturizer are absolutely phenomenal! They are the most soothing ingredients I have found even compared to my several hundred dollar products that I use. It doesn't matter how tore up your skin is if you use these products and nothing else your face will heal almost overnight and that's not an understatement it will take the red irritation and pain right out of your skin literally the first time you use it especially the serum! So if you buy those three things and use nothing else except a good sunscreen for at least a month you will have your Skin barrier back to damn near perfect! Then you can move on to other things. But I can't strongly recommend enough going to an actual board certified dermatologist that you actually go into an office and see not one online! Yes you can get good advice online but it is not the same thing as actually having a doctor who went to school for this to look at your skin type and your face and diagnose and treat you with the proper products! I love my dermatologist I wish I had went to one years ago he has made such a difference in my skin! I literally have the glass skin that everybody talks about and I'm not trying to boast or brag about myself because years ago my skin was horrible absolutely horrible but it's not anymore! My skin is absolutely gorgeous and glowing and I'm so thankful to him for that and to myself for actually following directions and doing what he told me to! I literally do not wear makeup at all anymore unless I'm going out on a date with my husband or to something important! The only thing that goes on my face everyday is a tented sunscreen that is it nothing more except for some clear brow gel to keep my brows in place and that's it I don't even need mascara or anything else I have never in my life got so many compliments that I have gotten in the past 2 years and it just keeps getting better and I'm so thankful for that! I used to suffer horribly with cystic acne I mean it was absolutely horrible thank God I didn't have any scarring from the acne I'm so thankful for that but I did have constant painful breakouts that were so embarrassing and I would try to hide that with makeup and that was definitely not the right thing to do I tried every expensive bougie product you can think of but nothing was working and I have always wore sunscreen every single day of the year doesn't matter if it's January or July I always wear sunscreen but my problem was I needed to go to an actual professional and finally when I did that my whole world started to change and literally within 6 months of treatment and seeing a professional my face had cleared completely up I don't even have one single blackhead on my face and my pores are almost non-existent I can't express what a difference it will make for you if you will find a board certified dermatologist to call your own and not use anything on RUclips or Google actually go to a doctor you will be so surprised at what your skin can turn into no matter how bad it is I promise it can be a hundred times better if you will just make an appointment and go! Just make sure you actually research and look at reviews and find the right doctor that's for you don't just go by a fancy doctor's office actually look the doctor up find out how long they've been practicing do they have any medical malpractices against them what have their patience had to say and not just recent reviews look back several years back that's what I did I found the best dermatologist ever and he's actually one of the best in the country I'm so thankful that I did my research I really pray that you are able to get your skin the way that you want it but if you will just take my advice I promise you will not regret it! But if you are not financially able to afford to go to a dermatologist if you will at least use those ingredients that I just told you about I promise you your face will be so much more calm and healthy just within a few days of using it but definitely if you use it for a month your face will be pretty much healed completely up and Your Skin barrier back intact but you will feel the relief literally from day one when you use those products it amazes me how well and wonderful they are considering they are so simple and basic and inexpensive I have products that cost $400 and more and none of it can make my skin feel as good as that simple brand that I just told you about but it can't just be anything from them it has to be those three products I told you about I promise you won't regret it I really do I wish you the best of luck take care!
Have you started to incorporate a peptide serum or cream? Peptides can aid the skin in regenerating the skin barrier if damaged. They are in many over the counter retinol formulations to reduce irritation.
Same!!! Tretinoin is too harsh for my skin. My skin barrier is becoming thinner after having the acne on my face. I got a light therapy device from #touchbeauty. The blue light works pretty well for my acne skin. It does not instantly result during the skincare routine. But I can feel my skin is much smoother than before. The breakout is decreasing in my cheeks. 😘
This video was perfect for people with sensitive skin. Viewers, please follow this advice if you have red, irritable skin. The products mentioned really work and can be trusted. Thank you Dr. Idriss! ❤️
Hi Dr. Idriss, thank you for your videos! Could you please talk about skincare and skin changes in EDS patients or those with collagen disorders? EDS looks different in different people, but we tend to have skin symptoms, and it's so hard at times to be heard by medical practitioners about our issues. Dry eyes, stretchy skin, skin barrier poor healing, odd aging, mast cell activation syndrome rashes, etc...
That La Roche-Posay Cicaplast cream has an SPF 50 version! It's my absolutely favourite sunscreen (I'm currently on my 5th tube?), though imo it works best for people with drier skin as it is equally as rich as the non-SPF version. Either way, it's not sticky, doesn't leave much of a whitecast, works great under makeup (if you don't like the intense shine it gives a little bit of translucent powder takes care of it just fine), and doesn't irritate the eyes (something I struggle with a lot as well when it comes to sunscreens). The skin looks nice and glowy, and I noticed much less irritation at the end of the day compared to other sunscreens I've tried. It's available in the US too for around 10 bucks for 40ml (1.35oz)!
Btw thank you for another amazing video ❤️ I love your content (you actually convinced me to try retinol, I was too scared of actives before) and your sense of humour 😊 Hope you have an amazing day!
Yaay this is my first Saturday here! Discovered you a few days ago and have been binging your video ever since. You are amazing! Thank you for giving us all of this amazing content for free ❤️
Ajjaajja me too. Just found about her, and I'm in shock of her knowledge. :)
@@redP. you shouldn't be shocked she's actually a board-certified practicing dermatologist that's why she has so much knowledge because she is actually a doctor not just a RUclips personality!
I'm back to Basics, & my skin has never looked better. Thank you
I have dry and sensitive skin 🙋🏼♀ For that reason I absolutely love La Roche Posay Lipikar line of products! I tried their products for showering and moisturizing my body, and I will try their products for the face as well after finishing the products I already have for my face. I only use fragrance free skincare. I prefer them over CeraVe because a lot of CeraVe products contain mineral oils that break me out.
I use makeup daily though and I try to use mostly makeup that is cruelty free and often times fragrance free (not always, but in some products the fragrance doesn’t bother me - lipsticks, eyeshadows, lip glosses…). Estée Lauder Double Wear is a fragrance free foundation but it is not cruelty free and that’s a bummer. I just ordered Light Wonder foundation from Charlotte Tilbury and hopefully my skin won’t react to it. I’ve seen Charlotte putting that foundation on someone who has rosacea so I’m hopeful 😊 I don’t have rosacea though.
Anyways, love your channel! Thank you for your help! ❤
can u send me the link for the product for the face?
I have 2 points of constructive feedback for this vid.
1. Dr Jart uses essential oils in all their products and it seems ill advised to be recommending something with Citrus Essential oils then proceed to discuss why fragrance free products are important for sensitive skin. Both Fragrance AND essential oils should be avoided with sensitive skin and rosacea especially in general. They both have the same irritating fragrant compounds (Terpenes) that cause issues on skin. It would be helpful to at least explicitly disclose those in the future if you do continue to suggest products with EO. I know you are not quite as concerned with them personally but it is an issue for people with sensitivities to fragrance.
2. The entire section about marketing claims with "hypoallergenic" and "anti-redness" is all marketing nonsense. It means nothing and isnt regulated in any way. Something marketed as hypoallergenic can still have Essential Oils. (Even fragrance free products can). Hypoallergenic is not a useful term to consumers because it is not used in a consistent way to mean what it should.
It could have EO or menthol or methylisochlorothiazolinone.
From the FDA website: "There are no Federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the term "hypoallergenic." The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean. Manufacturers of cosmetics labeled as hypoallergenic are not required to submit substantiation of their hypoallergenicity claims to FDA."
Thank you so so much for covering this. My skin has become so sensitive and delicate since going through the menopause. It’s really hard to navigate a whole new skin type and now becomes so irritated by pretty much anything. Your description is so apt for my skin these days! The thing I truly struggle with is how to remove makeup as micellar water, cotton pads, oils , balms all really really irritate my skin but most gentle cleansers just don’t remove makeup. Vanicream sounds good but not available in the UK but the search goes on…..!
Belgian here 😉 I use Caudalie cleansing oil 👌 Must also say that Lancôme's Bi-facial works well too and is not aggresive... but expensive
@@JustBeingAwesome thanks. Yes, I have tried both of those. The Lancôme is ok-ish for my eyes but it’s really my base makeup that I’d like to remove more efficiently and gently. Have actually tried the Caudalie but had a lot of irritation. Thanks for your suggestions though!
Or, you could use a gentle cleanser such as Cerave, on your dry skin first. That will break up your makeup better. Then rinse and cleanse again with the same product.
@@kendallstark4302 thanks Kendall. At the moment, it doesn’t seem to even tolerate Cerave. Thinking the extreme heat here in the UK isn’t helping much either! Thanks so much for help
@@Erica-qq5wq oh no! That sounds so frustrating! I hope you can find a solution soon 💖
I am sensitive to silicones. And we live in a world ruled by Dimethycone..
Vanicream cleanser has mica in it.... it literally broke me out so bad and coconot derivitives :(
This was SO helpful! Thank you for posting this. You always explain things so clearly :)
I'm not sure if you have covered this but as my skin ages (41 yo) I would like to start using actives on my skin and don't know where/how to start. I have sensitive skin that is becoming drier (previously combination/oily). I still break out a bit - since this video I am going to try switching sunscreens. I live in a very humid climate (Pacific NW), but work in a dry building. I have a history of significant Sun exposure r/t prev careers. If I was going to start with one active ingredient - what would you suggest? At what concentration and frequency?
First summer I have been using Avène's Triprotect 50SPF... and my God, what a difference it has made to my summer skin. No more runny eyes, no more small inflammations everywhere, no whitecast and my skin is well hydrated. It's a tiny (!) bit greasy but I just apply a tiny layer of 30 SPF powder on top and it looks great and natural 👌
BoJ has helped me so much after many SPF reactions. I hope we all continue to be able to get it 🤫🤞🏼🍀📦
Thanks for this video; I have a sensitive skin. Interestingly, I've tried the Beauty of Josein sunscreen and had a negative reaction on my face and I tried it three times, so it's the product. I can use it on my neck and arms, so don't need to waste it. But it gives me red bumps on my face and burns, especially my eyes.
A lot of people have been reacting negatively to the probiotics found in that product: Try the Round Lab sunscreen instead. It’s as elegantly textured as the Beauty of Joseon and it doesn’t contain probiotics.
@@bollywoodoverhollywood8139 thanks for the recommendation. Are you referring to the birch juice sun cream?
Thank you!! Your hard work is appreciated!! I would love your thoughts on the brand Stratia, as well as the ingredient DMAE. 💖💖💖
I found by experience that zinc is the ingredient that works to calm red skin e.g. when using retinoids
Funny. Zinc oxide makes my face immediately turn red and itchy. I can only use the new generation chemical filters. The old generation filters burns my skin.
Could you make a video about atrophic acne scars/texture left behind from acne? 🙏🏻 love the vids!
Yes! Yes! REACTIVE skin. My dermatologist confirmed it. Nailed it, Dr. Shereen. The pressure of trying new, great, wonder-skin products is great and dreadful. ZINC? ZINC? Who knew? Thank you 🙏 😃
Yes! and sulfur! She’s mentioned products containing it before.
Oh I picked a perfect day to start following your channel! I have EDS/MCAS so definitely need more tips on sensitive skincare. I’m trying to learn a proper routine kind of late (in my 30s) after taking my youthful looking EDS skin for granted my whole life. Now I’m getting terrible scars and the first tiiiiniest signs of fine lines, barely, so I figured better actually get this stuff figured out!
Anyway, really enjoying the videos so far, thank you for putting all this info out there!
Also is there any chance you might do a video on complex skin issues in the future, like EDS skin, in particular wound care? I have a NIGHTMARE of a time with that! Bandaids (or any adhesive) cause hives. Hydrocolloid patches cause my skin to basically dissolve, and then tear the top layer off, reopening the wound. Almost every wound on my chest, even the tiniest little blemish, has started leaving either white-pink shiny keloid or hypertrophic (not exactly sure which?) scars behind. So many scar creams I’ve tried cause hives. 😩 Whenever I try googling the correct method to use to manage wounds with delicate skin I get such conflicting info about what the right strategies are. Or info that may work fine for normal skin but not for people with connective tissue disorders or otherwise very delicate/fragile skin.
I really need to go to a derm and get this stuff sorted (and ask about laser scar removal or something to fix my chest and neck) but am never sure how to find drs knowledgeable about EDS! It’s always a struggle.
the skinceuticals sunscreen always stings my skin and feels like it has little particles that polish when I apply it :/
and i have no sensitive skin, i use tret 1%, i dont know what happens with this sunscreen in particular but i am surprised is always recomended by derms for sensitive skin
The Skinceuticals UV defense is my holy grail sunscreen
Looking forward every Saturday for your latest vlog. It’s like a virtual date with you. Your vlog is the best thing that ever happened to skin care world. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so incredibly much & I definitely agree with everything you said. My skin is … I don’t know how to describe it anymore. I definitely have to approach everything carefully & use as minimal products as possible… cleanser, moisturiser , a serum and azelaic acid. Would love to hear more about rosacea too ( I’m starting to have more redness I have noticed and am quite worried…. Would love to hear your thoughts on La roche posay Rosaliac intense serum actually!)
Thank you so incredibly much again … and love your personality
Edit… love that by La roche cicaplast- is a life saver at times and a few of there moisturisers & facial cleanser are ama . Always in my bathroom and use daily
Thank you for these videos we need more of these videos ! Also for anti aging skin that is sensitive and can’t use retinols .
I use all the current products you recommend and have sensitive skin and they have done wonders to help calm my sensitive skin.
I developed a lot of allergens(mostly daily care product ingredients ) during pregnancy, some products I can use before pregnancy I can’t use now😖
I’m having this skin rashes for months. I believe it’s called pityriasis rosea. I saw a dermatologist and she prescribed me ketoconazole and wynzora. Been consistently applied it for more than a month but it doesn’t seem to go away. I would appreciate if you can make a video about the cause, treatment and what I can do to avoid reoccurrence in the future. Thank you ♥️
Good morning. Could you talk about how home devices with RF, ultrasound, and red light therapy can trigger melasma, PIH, etc. And HOW to use? I have the whitest-brown skin if that makes sense.
I have acne, rosacea, dehydration and sensitive skin. I give up.
Please recommend actives for bikni and armpits. I really dont find useful stuff on social media regarding that, like can we use AHAs and BHAs there?😐
I have for years
Another question! 😝 Could you possibly do a video about probiotics for the skin, specifically the bio kult mind probiotics which are an actual treatment for Parkinson, because of the relation between Parkinson and Seborrheic dermatitis, some people on the internet have claimed that this has greatly helped them not even to subdue flare ups but from getting them altogether... I've been wanting to get them but they do not ship to my country just yet. But I'm wondering if there are other small steps we could take for candida's monarchy. THANK YOU
Thank you for your words of wisdom again!! I have combo skin but had to relearn everything after treatments for Melasma and incorporating tretionin into my skin routine left me sensitive. THANK YOU for this channel!!
Excellent advice! Patch testing changed everything for me. Now I can cross-check my known sensitivies with products on Skin Safe, and my eczema flares much less frequently. Even so, I got burned by not patch testing recently. I tried a new cleanser that was the same brand as my usual, advertised for sensitive skin, approved by the Eczema Association. I used it on my whole face, and ended up regretting it.
How is the process for patch testing? I’m nervous about not showering
Thank you Dr Idriss. I look forward to your videos each week. Please continue.
Depending on the weather my skin can occasionally become sensitive. Since following you I have been become a Vanicream fan…cleanser, ointment, deodorant and cream have saved my skin. Also I have found using Vanicream 50+ sunscreen around my eyes stopped the burning problem. The “white ghost” look gets covered by shadow base and concealer then I apply another sunscreen on rest of my face and neck. (This week it’s La Roche Posay Double repair UV).
Thank you Dr Idriss for this video. I have a sensitive, dry skin with dark spots and I’m over 40 too . So I have everything 🤣🤣
Honestly speaking I love a cameo by your husband 😂😂. Its hilarious specially your reaction. Can you also make a video about hyperpigmentation around knees and elbows?
I'm laughing so hard every time I see your husband showing up. I feel like it's the perfect meme for him to show up randomly, and if there is no cameo I feel like the video is missing something :)
Thank you for your videos dr. Idriss, could you talk about other antioxidants like revevastrol, pycnogenol or euk134?? I havent found a vit C that i like or "more like it, that i cant afford paying" before its gone to waste or a derivarte that it doesnt really have the properties of vit C. Sorry for my english and thank you so much🤗
Yes, vitamin c is the only thing I have yet to fully incorporate into my regimen bc it burns my face. Please let us know if there is an alternative!!!
U forgot to say ‘my little nerds’ 😢
I just put mineral spf around my eyes and chemical everywhere else
I moved from a very humid climate to a fairly dry climate. The zinc oxide sunscreen I used in Florida dried out my skin in Colorado. Turns out, zinc oxide has a mild astringent effect! Once I switched to a chemical sunscreen, the issue went away. It was a bummer, I liked that previous one.
I'd love to hear any advice you may have for people wanting to pursue medical school as a career change. I'm 28 and I went to school for Labor Relations and realized after graduating it wasn't something I was enjoying or wanting to pursue anymore. I'm planning to apply for medical programs within the next 2 years after finishing some pre-reqs. Did you go to med school with anyone in similar situations? I'd also love to hear any suggestions you may have before applying. (Also, that Balm B5 is so good!!)
Hi Dr shereene. Can you cover a bit on eyebrow and eyelash hair? For some reason Ive been losing this a lot recently. Thanks
was literally just binging your channel❤️
I am on a quest for finding a nighttime face cream WITHOUT HA... and oh boy..... But i saw you recommended la rouche posay and i think i have found a winner. i of course have to try it, but the ingredient list looks really simple and good. can't believe how hard it is to find a moisturizer without hyaluronic acid.
It’s amazing ! Completely saved my skin within two weeks - can’t recommend enough. In Europe they sell the same one but with SPF for daytime… Hopefully it’s just as glorious haha!
Does anyone have a tip for sensitive skin during allergies/weather changes etc? I’m fine with fragrance and most other typical sensitive problems, but pollen completely ruins my skin (itching, hurting, redness, etc) and fast weather changes also really dry out my skin 😅
Thank you for laying things out so clearly! I’ve been struggling with finding products (no actives, of course!) for my son who has very reactive and textured skin. Subscribed!
This may not be related but couldn't find a related video...I am 56...what products/ingredients help with crepey skin on eyelids and under eyes?
I'm so stresfull, my skin very sensitive and dry... Every product for sensitive skin i've been tried but not one worked for me, i don't understand what my skin needed? I'm so stresfull😭....
I’m not too sensitive but I’m a lifelong physical spf user and I tried a few chemical spfs before n they either cause breakouts or recently I got an eczema flare up. so thank you for this video! I do most of these but honestly I just go see a dermatologist if it gets bad enough lol
Hi Dr Shereene. Patch testing is a bit more of a laborious process for me than you described lol. No new product ever goes near my face before it has been tried on the body twice and the neck/behind the ear. I have rosacea and the centre of my face will react to things my neck, or perimeter of the face tolerate fine. I also have eczema, so my body skin is quite sensitive too. There have been many times I've been grateful I tried something on the inner elbow first lol. My process is as follows:
Ist day apply a small dab to the inner elbow and monitor for 24 hours
2nd day apply a small dab to the bust area in an inconspicuous place and again monitor for 24 hours
3rd day apply a small dab behind the ear and watch for 24 hours
4th day a very small dab on the chin and see how that goes
5th day if no issues apply to whole face
I devised this method as the best for me, when i've had miserable reactions despite normal patch testing methods. I can't put something remotely near my face without trying on less sensitive areas first, as I could have a fairly severe reaction. Recently I tried the Stratia liquid gold (much hyped, beloved in the skincare community and fragrance free). I had to wash it off my arm after less than 30 seconds and apply my steroid ointment to deal with the rash that appeared. I had a quick reaction to it and a fairly fierce reaction. Difficult to pinpoint the ingredient, but perhaps the sea buckthorn as I don't think I've used that before. In any case it was given to a friend with the appropriate warning, but they like it fine. I don't just have "sensitive" skin, but have hyper reactive skin and have to be really careful. Best wishes.
You don't have to look like butt face or spend a lot of money for a great zinc sunscreen. Try Coppertone Pure and Simple 50SPF baby 100% mineral sunscreen. Under $10 for 6oz, goes on white but becomes invisible. I wear it on my face daily with a little strategically placed tinted mineral sunscreen as a bronzer. 💖 I use CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser which easily removes it along with my mascara. You're welcome.
I use this sunscreen but it doesn't turn invisible on darker skin tones.
Thank you for the video. Could you tell us more about eye care? Dos and don'ts. Order of applications, etc
I have decided I am allergic/reactive to some kind of common ingredient in all sunscreens. I cannot find one-even sensitive/baby/all mineral sunscreen. I have actually just given up. I have spent so much money trying to find one. I do plan to see a dermatologist this year.
Would love to learn about pH and its levels, what does it mean when it’s mentioned on products.
I can only assume it is legal to purchase sunscreens from other countries because other countries create these as cosmetics, not drugs. They're sold as "lotions" even though they put an SPF on the packaging. Either way I'm glad this is the case because they look better and ARE better than US sunscreens in every possible way.
I live in the skin cancer capital of the world (Sydney, Australia) and our sunscreens are a high standard because they have to undergo rigorous testing and approval processes. So look for Australian brands. Bondi Sands SPF50 is a good one.
@@SueRosalie I'm jealous of the regulations there compared to here. Unfortunately it's not the easiest to access sunscreens internationally. Asian sunscreens even take a long time to get here and stylevana and yestyle exist solely to ship internationally. I choose Asian sunscreens because they're cosmetically elegant but I'll definitely try to find ways to get Australian sunscreens for outdoor activity use
I do not have sensitive skin but I will be going on accurate in 1 month and I heard that your skin can get very sensitive. Thank you for sharing your awesome tips!
Can 2% hydroquinone cause ochronosis? if so, wont buy it.plx reply plzzzzx
I would love to see a video about sunscreen for lips, hands, and other overlooked areas. Also, retinol hand creams!
Ty very much! I 100% agree with the Vanicream products. My Sjogrens has been awful after having Covid. The cream in the tub is all I can use in my body. Three times a day. Also the cleanser.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm in Australia and we have cool, dry winters and very hot & humid summers. I have dry skin and just turned 46 and wanted to add some treatments to my skin so in the morning I use a BHA cleanser, followed by Vit C, Moisturriser, Sunscreen.
In the evening I use a gentle cleanser, Retnol serum and Moisturiser.
I suddenly developped the worst itchy rash around my neck. I went back to basics but unfortunately the rash didn't get any better until I changed my sunscreen!
Turns out I developed a really bad reaction to the Naked Sundays Sun Serum! Maybe it's the 10% Homosalte, I don't know but If I would have patch tested, I would have known...
cleansing twice daily is drying. Just cleanse in the evening. Also, a great sunscreen is the Nivea UV Face Shine Control SPF50, and the Bondi Sands Fragrance Free SPF50, both at Coles, Woolworths, Priceline etc.
What about mixing ingredients? If you add a product after using a different one and testing that one out as you said and then you add another one and your skin flares is that Bc they don’t combine well or just the product you added isn’t good for you
You said that your eyes are sensitive. My eyes also react more than the rest of my skin. Why is that? Why does the skin on my cheeks not react the same way as around my eyes? Along with this, how can I patch test when my eyes are the ones that are reacting and not an inconspicuous spot like my back or armpit?
I have oily, sensitive skin and I am grateful for Dr. Jart’s sunscreen. It has been my favorite, however it does leave a bit of a white cast- so you do need to rub it in more. Other than that I wish it came in a bigger container!
Some products make me itch like a fool. That's not right is it???? Help me, please????
Thank God I’ve been waiting for this day!!!
Great video Dr Idress, thank you !!!
Quick q - if I have broken blood vessels in my face will strong glycolic acid make them worse?
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
By God's GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.💭
The mineral sunscreen I use and love it’s the cotz flawless complexion spf 50 it leaves no white cast( I have medium/brown skin) but can’t be a bit oily if you have oily skin. Thanks for the video Doc. 😊
I’ve fallen in love with the Cotz sunscreens too
My skin can react differently to the same product on different days
I read using lascorbic acid powder can be mixed in face cream n used. True?
Hello Doctor! You have such a beautiful accent! Do you also speak French? Where are you from? Thank you much for sharing your knowledge.
Please do review from JLO beauty products! I want to get some products, but I'm not sure if they're worth it :/
Btw, love watching your videos every weekend
Got an order in for the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen…the one she’s not sure can be sold here…less than $10!! With shipping just $15! Supergoop=$36. Fingers crossed!
I think they are being shipped under the cosmetics quality rather than medical/drug factor products
I keep hearing about this new beauty brand (well, 2018 new) called Dime. Claims to be "all natural" but some of the products are intriguing like the Blue Facial Oil. Maybe you could review or at least speak on some of the ingredients in their popular products?
Is he trying to sabotage your RUclips career?
I'm combo sensitive on the cheeks and around mouth but t-zone is super oily+ cane prone+ back heads do you think I should use two cleanser one that gentle on my cheeks and one that have actives???? Because I honestly I haven't found a proper product that treat both issues if I use soothing cleanser it makes my t-zone oily and vice versa 🙄😔
Can you do a video on Bukuchiol? Thx
no evidence to date that it does anything, and it cannot be considered a substitute for retinoids so ignore the cosmetic marketing hype
It's always very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Dr! Everytime I watch your channel Tina Turner pops into my head to sing... "Simply the best, better than all the rest..." 🤭
anyone here , who has tried CeraVe's daytime SPF creme? I usually don't like chemical sunscreen for my eyes, but i heard cerave is suppose to be SO good for sensitive skin. have you tried it ?? :)
What are more moisturizers with zinc? I thought zinc is drying?
it's not drying at all. Just read product labels. Look in the eczema and baby sections.
@@SueRosalie yea, I have. Zinc is often found in diaper rash creams and ointments to keep baby’s butt dry. I have tried a&d cream and it’s a thick paste and extremely drying. That’s why I’m asking if there’s any other specific moisturizers recommended. I have a&d ointment which is better but unfortunately I’m allergic to lanolin
Salut tout lment quality plus for come bien s.v.p merci
There are no red flags about shipping sunscreen to US. It’s not seller, but buyer who is responsible party. You do purchase in HK, they just ship your order to you. Probably same rules as when you bring goods from abroad, i.e. custom rules determine what’s allowed

My face turning fire red from the squalane and niacinimide when everyone loves it 😩😭
