That's all wonderful. But, doctor, why is your skin in such bad shape? What's wrong with your eyes? Why are they so inflamed? Are you sick or do you drink a lot of alcohol? What's wrong with your hair, your style? Maybe you should start using what you're talking about and make yourself look good ?
If you eat a terrible diet, you don’t exercise, don’t drink enough water, don’t get plenty of sleep, and don’t manage your stress. Then it doesn’t matter what you do with your skin it will never look good!
Yeah but you can always fix it, everything is fixable even if you have wrinkles,sagging ect there are plenty of ways to reduce or get rid of them,so it's not hopeless!
@@TranceGurl20 You totally missed my point prevention is a million times better than a cure. And prevention will save you tens of thousands of dollars. Your erroneous opinion is nonsense.
I use the CeraVe PM morning and evening. Hyaluronic acid supplements twice a day. Paula's 2% BHA in the evening and ALPHA 14% AHA in the morning. I also use Pacifica Granactive Retinoid .05% every evening - previously used Paula's 1% Retinol, but this stuff is much stronger. Additionally, I use the following Paula's products - 20% Niacinamide in the morning, and twice a day - Collagen peptide booster, and ultra-light serum with hyaluronic acid. Sunscreen is Vanicream SPF 50. Been using this stuff for decades and don't have wrinkle - at 70. Started with ALPHA 8% retinol when they introduced this product in 1994. Went to 10, 12, and 14 percent as they were introduced. Primarily use Paula's products - science based, good quality, mid pricing.
@@dg7438 No, that's not true, imo. Probably a myth that we s/n mix types of acids on our skin. I use Oumere skin products - best I've ever used. Oumere's exfolient, that I use at night, is a mix of various different types of acids. - all plant-based, organic sources. Best exfoliant I've ever used, Oumere, and I've tried plenty different brands. Oumere's exfoliant ( named No. 9) has been excellent at keeping any growths and 'age spots' at bay. When I 1st began using it, it completely dissolved two small growths I had on my face. I did stop using Oumere for a bit, as it's very pricey. So, In its place - the exfoliants I used were Paula's choice, then tried one fm Obagi, as well as The Ordinary. But, nope(!) the growths that Oumere's exfoliant dissolved- came raging back even with high end Obagi; mid-px Paula's Choice - The Ordinary, that alot of people swear by - but these growths returned and seemed destined to stay...until I began my Oumere regimen again - and again, they disappeared. But, again - Oumere's No.9 exfoliant has a mix of several types of acids in it AHA's & BHA's from several different plant sources. So, imo, it's untrue that we shouldn't be mixing different types acids on our skin @ same time or in the same day.😊 (However...this is not to say that YMMV. Everyone is different - it's possible that someone with very sensitive skin shouldn't mix types of acids for their skin, but maybe should alternate as you've suggested. But I do think that generally speaking - for most skin types - mixing acid types or using BHA, then AHA in the same day should not present a problem.) (Jmo)
Oh fantastic. I have been using CeraVe for a couple yrs now. The doctors on the RUclips channel "Doctorly" have been recommending CeraVe for yrs. Great video.
Spot on for the Sunscreen! Best one I have ever tried! I totally agree about nutrition too... About a year ago I changed form an ultra processed food diet to a salad and unprocessed foods diet and the difference in my skin is phenomenal, no cream can do what clean nutrition can do..!
Feed the hair and scalp nutrients. I make my own herbal teas and oils for my hair. Have done for years. I'm 48 and hardly have any grey. There's plenty of herbs out there that help nurture hair pigment without dying it. Incidentally I also don't slather my face with a lot of shop bought moisturisers either like those mentioned in the video. I use powders, oils, red light, microcurrent and dermaroller.
I follow a few dermatologists on this platform and they generally advise against combining too many exfoliants/actives (such as BHAs, AHAs and retinoids) in the same day, as it can disrupt the skin barrier and lead to irritation. I do use tretinoin 0.05 , formulated with niacinamide 4% and 4% azelaic acid about 3 times a week and a salicylic acid (BHA) cleanser on the days I'm not using a retinoid. I'd be wary of using both on the same day, but I am prone to skin sensitivity and appreciate it might not be the case for everyone.
True for most people not to mix retinoids with other actuve acids, personally though, I can use and have been using both in the same routine with no sensitivity as I have built skin resistance over the years. What you’ve said is good for most to heed
I'm well tolerated retinoids it gave me very good results .but now I get toxicated from using it on my face . It penetrates deep .I get headache and heavy eyes feel sick . I dnt know what can I replace it with . 😢
Instead, find a retinoid serum that uses both non-irritating vitamin-A retinoid and retinoid-like plant ingredients, if you have sensitive skin. I have very sensitive skin too and I have incorporated a youth activating essence to soothe any irritation (if any) whenever a new product I am trying is too harsh for my skin and I found that it really helps. I am currently using a retinoid serum from Invity, and I find it does not irritate my skin at all. And it did not break my bank either.
I live in the US, and I still don't understand why the FDA won't approve Bemotrizinol for more than a 3% amount. It seems like they don't want to approve it until it's manufactured here in the states. You'd think that they would rather have our money spent in our own country rather than another one.
Hello Dr Brad....Another great-video..... I've been a 'skin-thusiast' for many yrs now (since about 18)...and am fast approaching my 64th birthday. My daily am/pm routine encompasses: Vit C serum, Spf50, granactive-retinoid serum & moisturiser. I also take various daily supplements... I walk everywhere and try to eat healthily...'bout it really... :)
Thanks! I've learned a ton from your videos, and have already been applying almost every recommendation you gave here for the past few years, except for the ceramide+nicotinamide moisturizer, which I ordered just now. In any case, I can confirm that this regimen definitely works. I've been labeled "a vampire" both at work and by my friends, because I seem to look much younger than I actually am.
A cheaper alternative to the La Roche-Posay sunscreen is the Cancer Council Sensitive Sunscreen SPF50+ with active ingredients: Zinc Oxide 5% w/w, Bemotrizinol 2.5% w/w, Methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol 2.5% w/w, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor 1% w/w
Thanks for all your hard work on such well researched videos. I stupidly didn’t look after my skin for so long and have deep lines from sun and smoking damage to reverse. I now use a factor 70 sunscreen and take a lot of the supplements you’ve recommended and I’m really pleased that I can see a noticeable improvement, although I will need to have surgery for my jowls and drooping eyelids when I can afford it. I’ve now added hyaluronic acid supplement and started red light therapy so I can have the best skin possible while I save my pennies.
That's so encouraging to hear! I am currently only using factor 50 sunscreen and I am thinking if I should increase it to 70 too. For my droopy eyelids, I use a youth activating eye serum from Invity and it made my eyes look more lifted and made my eyebags less puffy even. And it did not even cost me $100 so I got to save my pennies too.
wow, what kind of ingredient was in it maybe if you know? totally believe it, people has gone mad crazy with SPF, they rub anything into their skin if it tells it's going to help with wrinkles, they don't care it may ruin something else in their body
I haven’t heard it’s superior, but I think I heard a dermatologist on YT (can’t remember if it was Dr Dray or Dr Idriss) say they’re not sure they’d refer to it as a “retinol alternative”, so I don’t see how it could’ve superior to retinol. I’m not sure there have been enough studies or any evidence to claim it’s superior to retinol, either. I don’t think it’s been proven to be more effective than retinol.
Thx for the good advice! I do some of these already and maybe I will try the moisturizer next. The BEST skin supplement I encountered just recently is high-dose panthotenic acid (Vit. B5), taken orally. I do not know whether it helps with sking aging, but it completely cleared my skin. Haven't had a single pimple since I started taking it one or two months ago, even after days of alcohol consumption or bad nutrition, which usually caused me outbreaks. Maybe Brad you can look into panthotenic acid? I have not found many studies about it and basically just thought it is worth a shot after seeing it on RUclips for treatment of acne. Honestly, I think it works just as well for this purpose as the birth control pill or oral isotretinoin, hopefully without the side effects. Wish I had known that when I was a teen. I take a capsule of 500 mg daily. My skin went from borderline oily to normal. Maybe it even has more positive effects?
@@jujuba9277 Only 'experts' can attest to RLT on YT? Hehe, tell that to all those here who DO😊 Dr. Brad is not an 'expert' on alot of subjects, but he's excellent at reading & deciphering RCT's on (any) subject and that's all that's really needed, imo. (Jmo, btw)😊
@SammiLucia I see this available on Amz. BUT, seems impossible to view ingredient label there... Went BIORE website, to view ingredients and yes it DOES reflect: Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyltriazine BUT IS this the same molecule as 'bemotrizinol'?🤔 I have found that in Google - it IS the same molecule But apparently it only absorbs UVA - not UVB. So, I presume additional ingredients in this Biore SPF formula are there to protect against UVB ?
Colagen Peptides: should one take them before eating? Read that is better absorbed with an empty stomach. I personally take a fruit that provides vitamine C and collagen peptides after.
my personal opinion would be to use the collagen protein at night with your dinner, instead of the morning. Since it;s my understanding your body can use aminos for energy, and since you do repairs at night, that would be the best time for collagen
Excellent information! As a surfer, I've found sunscreens sold in the US to be very irritating to my skin. I'm glad you made a recommendation and can't wait to get it.
The 3rd ingredient in Cerave is DIMETHICONE which is SILICONE which creates a sort of water-proof barrier on the skin. Dimethicone can only be removed with soap and water. The skin dries up for lack of moisture over time. They add it to shampoos and conditioners as well. Your hair follicles are flattened and water repellent so that over time your hair dries out over time and keeps getting worse. It's a vicious circle. It took me 3 months to get shed of all the silicone accumulation from products I'd been using on my face and hair. I now use 100% natural products and things have considerably improved. My skin is softer and plumper and my hair is bouncier and shinier.
Cerave has recently begun selling their products in China. This means that they now test on animals, because China REQUIRES that any company that wishes to sell in their country do this
Acids would go first on skin after cleansing, then your moisturizer. On an alternate night, the retinoid (Tretinoin/Adapalene) would follow cleansing and then moisturizer. If you're new to retinoids, it can help to decrease irritation by "sandwiching" it between two layers of moisturizer or applying it after moisturizer. So the sandwich routine would be: cleanse, moisturizer, retinoid, moisturizer. This buffers the ingredient and decreases its potency until your skin has adjusted and can tolerate it directly applied after cleansing. Also, if you're using any serums, those would go first on skin before any cream-based formulations.
Clouds or glass don’t block UVA, only UVB (which causes redness and burn). Remember: wherever you see sunlight, UVA is there. And it damages DNA and collagen. So if it’s daytime, wear sunscreen!
The biggest mistake made is to think that facial aging is just collagen loss. Subcutaneous fat loss and bone loss are also very important. Subcutaneous fat is an important criterion that makes a person look young. Try not to lose subcutaneous fat.
1. Keep inflammation low, eat anti-inflammatory. 2. Protect skin from the sun. 3. Do not lose weight quickly and pay attention to falling estrogen after menopause. 4. There is research showing that linoleic and oleic acid increase adipogenesis, but I am not sure if topical use will work, maybe you can try it. 5. You can try volufilline. 6. Be careful with retinoids, this is why many people lose facial fat. 7. Be sure to take omega 3. 8. Manage your stress and try to stay happy. 9. Make sure you sleep very well. 10. Stay away from smoking and alcohol.
@@leakoch4459 If you search for tretinoin and facial fat loss, you will see a lot of user experiences of people losing facial fat because of tretinoin.
Thanks for the information, a lot of it will be quite useful for many people. However, looking at the inflamed appearance of your skin in the video, I get the distinct impression that you are over-doing the retinol and exfoliating stuff.
How come, you have never discussed Urolithin A and Peptide 24? You should also indicate in your videos what your conflict of interest is and who is paying you what.
Why make an accusation without proof? Also, it could be he has it planned for a future video. Anyway, I never heard any plastic surgeon or dermatologist speak about this product. Think you could have just asked status quo of this product. I Googled it and it sounds interesting. It was so simple to Google, and it gave me valuable information. In addition where to order it. Hmmm.
Thank you for your science & evidence based research and presentation. A quick question regarding Sunscreen. Does using a sunscreen negate the positive Vitamin D effects of Sun exposure?
Yes it does. You could get say under 10 mins of sun a day with no sunscreen, but if you are only using sunscreen on the face you should get enough sun exposure. I live in Australia, the skin cancer capital of the world. I recently was diagnosed with diabetes and I had extremely low Vitamin D. the sun burns here and I avoid it like the plague (I am a vampire) So I take D3 supplements with K2 vitamin instead of getting sun light. I don't want to go out in the sun.
Technically yes, as it blocks the The UlltraViolet UVA/UVB rays that the skin uses to synthesize the D3 But you still get the benefits from the other light spectrums eg Infrared
I really appreciate this Doctor’s commitment to anti aging and health. I use the CeraVe PM during the day also. It’s great. Tretinoin for about 2 years (low dose 0.05%).
Chemical sunscreen always makes me break out, zinc oxide works perfectly for me and I just melt it in my hands (plus I'm swimming in places with small animals and safety studies aren't going to be 30+ years)
dont the unsaturated fats oxidize faster? i watched a compelling video that showed that saturated fats found in animal fats showed the death rates greatly reduced in test animals and people with a great rise is cardiac deaths in the explosion of unsaturated fats in our diet
Dear doctor, I greet you from Spain. What contrasted studies are there on the benefits of skin treatment with the LED masks that are in fashion? Thank you so much
..the fascist drug admin (and their dispersed minion) strike again... all thoughts and comments that violate the "proclaimed" truth will be vaporized "to protect" the public...
-------> Hey Dr., Hey Community, please help me, how should I handle this collagen problem as a vegetarian? Could/should i use Whey protein shake + Glycine? Or such vegetarian collagen booster?
Thanks for the video! Long time subscriber. Maybe it’s a good idea to be more in depth about tretinoin application and potential downsides. Namely that certain optometrists seem to think it may damage the epithelial cells of meibomian glands, causing dry eyes.
To protect your face and neck from the sun 100% wear an opaque plastic sun visor or leather or vinyl cowboy hat and go out between noon and two P.M. when the the sun's directly above and don't look up into the sun.
Is it true that tretinoin thins the skin overtime? I’ve read that some people experienced skin thinning while using tretinoin, but I also read that tretinoin thickens the skin over time. Which is it?
Thanks for great tips! Can you do a video on skin cleansers, or recommend one? I find that foaming cleansers are too drying on my skin after using tretinoin for more than a year.
Strong stuff aren’t good without proper use. Dermatologists say consistency is the best strategy, so if you can use it everyday and notice no harm, just keep using it until you can have a consultation with a professional, in my opinion.
I heard another Dr say that glycolic acid and retinoids cancel each other out (or one deactivates the other) so there’s no point using them at the same time. Best to alternate
never heard of that, who speaks up on that, or did you read somewhere. I'm actually so sus of this synthetic tretinoin. rather do simple retinol, our body would convert just as much of retinol as it needs rather than having already active form that would be much more aggressive I assume
What do you think about the retinoid correction I made at the end of the video?

Great video! Thank you. I will follow your suggestions because are backed by science.
Excellent information! As a surfer, I've found sunscreens sold in the US to be very irritating to my skin. I'm glad you made a recommendation and can't wait to get it.
Then Peri-Menoipause hits ad NOTHING you do makes a difference, literally ages you overnight....
Yep!
Awesome. And if anyone wonders, Niacinamide is nicotinamide, both names are just used.
Thank you, Dr Brad!
Excellent video and advice. I feel better about the safety of sunscreen now too.
I love that sunscreen, I'll get the moisturiser today, thanks for sharing what products you use
What do you think about astaxanthin?
The 3rd ingredient in Cerave is DIMETHICONE which is SILICONE which creates a sort of water-proof barrier on the skin. Dimethicone can only be removed with soap and water. The skin dries up for lack of moisture over time. They add it to shampoos and conditioners as well. Your hair follicles are flattened and water repellent so that over time your hair dries out over time and keeps getting worse. It's a vicious circle. It took me 3 months to get shed of all the silicone accumulation from products I'd been using on my face and hair. I now use 100% natural products and things have considerably improved. My skin is softer and plumper and my hair is bouncier and shinier.
May I ask what natural skin and hair products you use?
Cerave has recently begun selling their products in China. This means that they now test on animals, because China REQUIRES that any company that wishes to sell in their country do this
Who cares
Dr. Brad you should also tell us in which order to apply the acids, retinol and moisturizer.
There are many specialists teaching this in detail on RUclips. I like Dr Dray, a dermatologist, and Cassandra Bankson, an esthetician
Acids would go first on skin after cleansing, then your moisturizer. On an alternate night, the retinoid (Tretinoin/Adapalene) would follow cleansing and then moisturizer. If you're new to retinoids, it can help to decrease irritation by "sandwiching" it between two layers of moisturizer or applying it after moisturizer. So the sandwich routine would be: cleanse, moisturizer, retinoid, moisturizer. This buffers the ingredient and decreases its potency until your skin has adjusted and can tolerate it directly applied after cleansing. Also, if you're using any serums, those would go first on skin before any cream-based formulations.
I work outside for my job (3-4 hours a day) I always use sunscreen on Sunny days .. but should I be using it on Shaddy days also?
Yes. Especially on shady days. The worst exposure is shady days because you don’t feel the sun.
I think of thick overcast skies as proving a SPF of about 3.
@@felixmay6443The UV index is probably low on cloudy days. I think that’s what matters
If it has day in the name, sunscreen should be used. So yes, for most, use it.
Clouds or glass don’t block UVA, only UVB (which causes redness and burn). Remember: wherever you see sunlight, UVA is there. And it damages DNA and collagen. So if it’s daytime, wear sunscreen!
You do look very healthy, beautiful glowing skin
Excellent straight forward information! Can you please do a video on organic castor oil on skin health? Thanks!
This is alot of work to try to look good!
thanks for sharing these interrestings informations based on science !
I imagine if skin cells are more healthy then the cells in our organs are getting more healthy too.
I believe It's more a case of outside - in.
Our exterior is a reflection of what's happening inside our body. No?
I think that this should be one factor to consider
Like your content and would appreciate if there's timestamp or a summary to allow important points to be taken.
The biggest mistake made is to think that facial aging is just collagen loss. Subcutaneous fat loss and bone loss are also very important. Subcutaneous fat is an important criterion that makes a person look young. Try not to lose subcutaneous fat.
What's the best way to do that?
@@nik2047eat fat, Avacados, cheese, coconut oil, grass fed butter
1. Keep inflammation low, eat anti-inflammatory.
2. Protect skin from the sun.
3. Do not lose weight quickly and pay attention to falling estrogen after menopause.
4. There is research showing that linoleic and oleic acid increase adipogenesis, but I am not sure if topical use will work, maybe you can try it.
5. You can try volufilline.
6. Be careful with retinoids, this is why many people lose facial fat.
7. Be sure to take omega 3.
8. Manage your stress and try to stay happy.
9. Make sure you sleep very well.
10. Stay away from smoking and alcohol.
@user-ec7nv7ny8g
I thought tretinoin prevents facial fat loss?
@@leakoch4459 If you search for tretinoin and facial fat loss, you will see a lot of user experiences of people losing facial fat because of tretinoin.
Any idea where to get Hyaluronic Acid supplements in the UK? I can’t find any! Especially at 200mg. Any help would be appreciated.
Great vid, face wash recommendation? I hate sunscreens but will have to go back to them, cheers
Kevin mann from haircafe did a video on collagen peptides and said they were placebo. Hes pretty well read on research as well
There was no mention of topical vitamin C, would you still recommend this?
sure
Thanks for the information, a lot of it will be quite useful for many people.
However, looking at the inflamed appearance of your skin in the video, I get the distinct impression that you are over-doing the retinol and exfoliating stuff.
Very informative video. Thank you. What about bakuchiol instead of retinol?
How come, you have never discussed Urolithin A and Peptide 24? You should also indicate in your videos what your conflict of interest is and who is paying you what.
There is no indication anyone pays him anything.
Why make an accusation without proof? Also, it could be he has it planned for a future video. Anyway, I never heard any plastic surgeon or dermatologist speak about this product.
Think you could have just asked status quo of this product.
I Googled it and it sounds interesting. It was so simple to Google, and it gave me valuable information. In addition where to order it. Hmmm.
Nestlé owns the patent rights to Urolithin A IIRC
Sleep also play very important role for repairing body.
Five yrs in and loving my skin.
Thanks for the Good info bro ❤
Got all those bases covered. Any thoughts about red light therapy?
He’s so innocent he doesn’t realize how funny it is that he keeps advertising the micro vitamin
Thank you Doctor!
Do you have recommendations for collagen peptides? Thanks !
Great video doc
Thank you for your science & evidence based research and presentation. A quick question regarding Sunscreen. Does using a sunscreen negate the positive Vitamin D effects of Sun exposure?
Yes it does. You could get say under 10 mins of sun a day with no sunscreen, but if you are only using sunscreen on the face you should get enough sun exposure.
I live in Australia, the skin cancer capital of the world. I recently was diagnosed with diabetes and I had extremely low Vitamin D. the sun burns here and I avoid it like the plague (I am a vampire)
So I take D3 supplements with K2 vitamin instead of getting sun light. I don't want to go out in the sun.
Technically yes, as it blocks the The UlltraViolet UVA/UVB rays that the skin uses to synthesize the D3
But you still get the benefits from the other light spectrums eg Infrared
Please keep up advertising inputs, we need products to purchase.
I really appreciate this Doctor’s commitment to anti aging and health. I use the CeraVe PM during the day also. It’s great. Tretinoin for about 2 years (low dose 0.05%).
The Collagen link isn't working. What brand are you using?
Retinds at night on alternate day
Sun screen with ceramide
Hyaluronic acid on wet face in the morning before applying sun block
The easiest way to prove that sunscreen is must is compare the skin on face and arms vs the skin on buttocks :D
Chemical sunscreen always makes me break out, zinc oxide works perfectly for me and I just melt it in my hands (plus I'm swimming in places with small animals and safety studies aren't going to be 30+ years)
It makes me look white and ill though
Do you use both of the Paula's choice exfoliates together?
Another amazing video.. thank you!
What do you use in the shower? What shower products should we pick?
Really good video. As usual!
Dr. Stanfield, I wish you’d make a video demonstrating how you mix retinol with Paula’s choice BHA and AHA.
dont the unsaturated fats oxidize faster?
i watched a compelling video that showed that saturated fats found in animal fats showed the death rates greatly reduced in test animals and people with a great rise is cardiac deaths in the explosion of unsaturated fats in our diet
Dear doctor, I greet you from Spain. What contrasted studies are there on the benefits of skin treatment with the LED masks that are in fashion? Thank you so much
Anyone find a way to buy the sunscreen in the US? I’m still looking …
I even looked at a german pharmacy. Could not find "bemotrizinol "
..the fascist drug admin (and their dispersed minion) strike again... all thoughts and comments that violate the "proclaimed" truth will be vaporized "to protect" the public...
I am going to try looking on eBay 🤞🏽
Great tips, thank you! I'll laugh if anyone says they follow your regime while still smoking and/or drinking alcohol regularly.
What about the benefits of sunlight for longevity even when accounting for vitamin d?
combining bakuchiol with tretinoin / retinol reduces or eliminates irritation
Loreal revitalift has definitely made my skin look younger and I also take resveratrol and nda1500
-------> Hey Dr., Hey Community, please help me, how should I handle this collagen problem as a vegetarian? Could/should i use Whey protein shake + Glycine? Or such vegetarian collagen booster?
Thanks for the video! Long time subscriber. Maybe it’s a good idea to be more in depth about tretinoin application and potential downsides. Namely that certain optometrists seem to think it may damage the epithelial cells of meibomian glands, causing dry eyes.
Should we take a Vitamin C serum? Just trying to understand. Thanks
What age is Dr Brad?
To protect your face and neck from the sun 100% wear an opaque plastic sun visor or leather or vinyl cowboy hat and go out between noon and two P.M. when the the sun's directly above and don't look up into the sun.
Surprised sleep didn't make the list. Thanks for the recommendations.
Is it true that tretinoin thins the skin overtime? I’ve read that some people experienced skin thinning while using tretinoin, but I also read that tretinoin thickens the skin over time. Which is it?
Some experts claim retin an exhausts your stem cells ( as does vitamin A)…thoughts?
Thanks for great tips! Can you do a video on skin cleansers, or recommend one? I find that foaming cleansers are too drying on my skin after using tretinoin for more than a year.
I use retinoid every night and never got irritation, should i still do it every other day?
Note that i use the “liquid drop” form, not cream
Buy something stronger. The good stuff will rip your skin off until you acclimate. I use strong stuff every day.
Strong stuff aren’t good without proper use. Dermatologists say consistency is the best strategy, so if you can use it everyday and notice no harm, just keep using it until you can have a consultation with a professional, in my opinion.
@@mikeholbrook8639
This is very poor advice. You obviously don't know the nuances if this topical.
Shouldn't be advising anyone here on this subject.
Ceramide powder solution is worth using? They are really expensive
What about growth factors in skincare?
If youre prone to cancer growth factors will help grow it.
I heard another Dr say that glycolic acid and retinoids cancel each other out (or one deactivates the other) so there’s no point using them at the same time. Best to alternate
What about stem cell exhaustion with vitamin A ??
never heard of that, who speaks up on that, or did you read somewhere. I'm actually so sus of this synthetic tretinoin. rather do simple retinol, our body would convert just as much of retinol as it needs rather than having already active form that would be much more aggressive I assume
