I love how well this is organized, especially the part in the description. Thank you for laying it out for us so we can follow the routine easily.
💯
15:45 She says she’s switching to a Vit C MOISTURIZER instead of a serum so she can add in bukuchiol
Wow thanks for sharing your discovery and new products that are getting hot in the research. All very good videos btw! I'm literally binge watching all your video this weeks, ahah!
Hello! Delighted to say you're a new find on my feed, but I find your informative details about each step, the why, the different options (& which is best choice) are so helpful! As a professor known for being a fast talker, may I say you speak so clearly and enunciate beautifully, so easy to follow! Definitely going to check out Tula & bakuchiol (even if I still enjoy VitC serum in a.m.) ❤🌺🙏
I’m 46 and my skincare is very basic: wash my face with water only in the morning, apply Fitglow Beauty day essence, Pacifica vegan ceramide eye cream and sunscreen. Use a cleansing oil at night and use the vitamin C serum from Fitglow Beauty or the Herbivore prism exfoliating glow serum and that’s it!
It seems to work well as I get a lot of compliments on how youthful my skin looks even though I have some fine lines
How is avene considered budget? 🙄
Thank you!!! I LOVE the step by step it is exactly what I needed.
Thank you for all your valuable videos, great information and for always giving us budget friendly alternatives to products.
I’m going to stick with your old recommendations since they worked so brilliantly for me. Retrinal skin and eyes-almost completely got rid of the very dark circles under my eyes, and really evened out my skin tone. One of your Vitamin C with ferulic acid recommendations had visible improvement in my spots in 3 days, and really, really helped. Goes to show, everyone is different, and with a little trial and error, you can find something that works for you. Thank you, Doctor, for your videos and wonderful recommendations!
@Zizzie which eye cream do you use?
@@kaym.8965 I think the the Retrinal eye cream by avene! I also bought it after dr locke recommended it and I LOVE it!
1000% stick with your routine. Don't change a thing. These are amazing results you are sharing and I'm SO happy for you! Thanks for sharing and watching :)
@@kaym.8965 Avene Retrinal Eye Cream, I think the Dr. mentions it in the video.
Me too... I'm a long time retinol user but after watching this channel, I added vitamin C to my morning routine along with a glycolic toner. I can't believe how good my skin looks so I'm sticking to it.
I will agree Vit C can be unstable, but we have to keep the advice in perspective: 'budget' - and reason for the serum (hyperpigmentation vs. lines/wrinkles). I'll stick with Vit C (am) Retinol (pm) and keep recommending to my clients. Thank you for the heads up!
This is my favorite routine that I’ve found that works for my skin and it’s not so complicated. I think this is such a straight forward routine. I now use the Tula probiotics & superfoods serum and Tula eye and replenish, Avene protective cream to give my skin a break and several other products that works for my budget and skin. I love this routine!
People need to chill out. She is going through her OWN skincare routine which happens to have pricier products then she is offering cheaper options. If you can’t afford the products she’s using then don’t! Just look at the other products she links as alternatives. They’re $10-20! ✌️
If you’re cheap when it comes to the health of your skin you need to fix your priorities. The people bitching probably go to Starbucks everyday
@@kelly.nicole It’s not that deep lol. If someone needs or wants to spend less it’s okay
Please keep your hands still!
She didn't give an affordable option for step 2, AM! Listed only 2 products and they most certainly aren't affordable.
Actually she linked 3, 2 at around $75 and one at $27
I love how well you explain things. Figuring out a skincare routine can be very confusing. Been watching other videos, trying for a few years now, and feel like I haven't been able to get it right. After discovering your videos, I understand much better how to build my routine. So thank-you. I do have a question though. Is it true that moisturizing products should be applied to damp skin and actives to dry skin? If that is true, then how do you apply a product that has both. Like the Vit C moisturizer. Would that go on damp or dry skin?
I love you! Your videos are always soooo informative. You give lots of choices and insights into the why's and why not so we ourselves can make better and informed decisions for ourselves!!!
So kind of you to say! Thank YOU for watching :)
I’m excited to receive the Avene bakuchiol serum from your prior video. I’ll try it out tomorrow one I finally get it in the mail. Can’t wait!!
feels so nice, def a change up from vitamin C!
Vanicream cleanser is wonderful. Short list of ingredients, gentle, takes off makeup and sunscreen, and feels very elegant. I love it.
Thank you for this. I had bought the winky lux bakuchiol serum but didn't really have a place to use it until you mentioned the morning. I just assumed it was one to be used at night. I was ready to get rid of it!
Appreciate your updated routine details.
Some people don't update video content, and leave us hanging on 2+ yr old options. ☺️
I love your videos! This one is excellent! Great education as well ! Thank you!!!
Thanks for all the great information! Since you ditched the exfoliating cleanser in the morning when do you exfoliate now?
I’ve recently started using a copper peptide serum in the morning and my Vitamin C serum at night. What are your thoughts on products like some of Paula’s Choice that combine Vitamin C with Bakuchiol or Retinol? Would Bakuchiol be compatible copper peptides?
Do you ever put any type of moisturizer on the upper and lower lids? Or wrinkle product?
Doctor, I have been following your previous recommendations for AM and PM routines and my face hasn’t looked better ( smooth, even texture and my pores seem smaller) I don’t need hardly any foundation!. I do have rosacea and the vitamin C didn’t irritate. So thank you.
this is what i need, less product, easy to follow,simple😊, Appreciate you❤
You didn’t mention using an exfoliant. I have been using the L’Oréal glycolic acid cleanser in the morning for about a month now and love it! Are you still using an exfoliant and, if so, what are you using and when (am or pm, every day, every other)? Also, how do you layer a bakuchiol product with an AHA?
Great video today and love the idea of Vit C in moisturizer! What are your thoughts about The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides and placement in skin care routine, if any?
I'm using Biossance copper peptide. So far I know is not to use with Vitamin C
Lol a month ago you made a video about shopping for vitamin C serums 🙃
Love Love Love that Vanicream cleanser. So gentle and elegent feeling. Such a minimal ingredient list which still removes my makeup The only reason I would even consider deviating from it would be if I wanted to add in active ingredients.
PLEASE can someone recommend or even know of a moisturizer that contains at least some of these together?- hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, & vitamin c
I’m so tired of using 12 different products at once
Try Korean skincare line now at Target! The vita c serum is the stable sort and the other serums and creams was well. Korean skincare can be pricey, but this one is amazingly affordable and so convenient being I'm a major Target hair and skin shopper
I have been waiting for Part 2 of the collagen supplement video with bated breath. Can’t wait for your recommendations. Can we have the video soon please.🙂
Your videos are very informative and interesting! What is your opinion of 0.1% Differin as a retinoid for anti-aging?
You should change your name from the budget dermatologist to the affiliated dermatologist.
What do you use on your eyelids?
I use Paula's Choice Retinol and Bakuchiol product at night. It has both actives in one product and I LOVE IT! My sensitive skin tolerates it well and I am just now starting to see really good results after about two months.
I think your new routine is brilliant. I think of “budget” as the overall cost of a routine. Certainly, a simple routine with a couple of powerhouse items would be more budget friendly than a multitude of products and multiple steps. Look forward to trying out the new products, especially a swap for vitamin c.
I switched vitamin C for Q10 serum, I only use vitamin C every other day at night. I have dark skin and vitamin C was making my skin photosensitive and causing pigmentation, so I stopped applying during the day. Q10 is also a good antioxidant.
Did you get any fine lines or wrinkles when using vitamin C?
I opt for Vit C derivative instead, actual Ascorbic Acid is too unstable.
I'm new to skin care (6 months) and I only learned about bakuchiol recently. My reaction was exactly the same - why use vit C if bakuchiol gives me all the benefits without the downsides? The same goes for niacinamide and even retinol. It seems that one can ditch all three and just use bakuchiol instead. I'm definitely gonna try it.
What do you think of strivectin products? I've been using their nightly retinol and it's really strong but gentle and non irritating. Also use their eye cream and love it
This is interesting. I am currently pregnant and as soon as I found out, I stopped using tretinoin. I bought the bakuchiol serum from UK based brand GOW (love their products btw). Unfortunately, my skin reaction after first time using it was pretty terrifying. My whole face was swollen, it was badly irritated, red, just really bad I think it took me about 10days to calm it down so sadly it didn't work for me. I thought my skin is pretty resistant after using retinol or later on tretinoin for years but looks like it doesn't tolerate it... I would love to hear your update after 3 6 months of using it 😊
“I love this one”. Yeah now you do, but next week you probably won’t. 😂
Omg...I bought one of her recommended Vit C products, thinking it would be good for my skin...and now it's not even needed?...Why did I waste my money?....Why do Influencers keep changing their recommendations?...
She is a dermatologist it’s her job to keep trying and recommending different products all the time. Vitamin C is good in the morning for many people and has the most benefits. If it is working for you keep using it. If it is not or you see vitamin c is causing irritation this is a good alternative. Vitamin C has more studies behind it and is one of the most potent antioxidants though so it is preferred. Hope this helps.
It depends who they’re getting paid by. She’s to flaky for a doctor so I don’t trust her. 6 days ago posted another and says how she’s always going back to the severed vitamin c one. Also says how she’s always using lots of products calling them my to go to .. so how? She’s def lying. I found dr dray a more honest and reliable person who sticks to her recommendations.
What kind of sunscreen is safe to use with vit c? I read vitamin c can react for example with sodium benzoate and create benzene wich is known to be carcinogen (dont know if it is the same with alkyl benzoate also). Those ingredients are in most sunscreens. I don't know if this information is something to be concerned about but i am worried.
Out of the Avene or the Tula serums, which has the most hyaluronic acid in it, same with the vitamin C moisturizers you used, which has the most hyaluronic acid in it?
Thanks for the great video! For another great Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate product that I love is DRMTLGY's Vitamin C5 moisturizer. It has peptides, ceramides, vitamin E, and five different forms of Vitamin C, (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, & Ascorbyl Glucoside). Great lightweight moisturizer that doesn't pill under SPF.
It may seem expensive, but it's a 1.75oz bottle for $62, which is actually quite reasonable when most vitamin c products come in a 1oz bottle.
Great Video! Can you use both bakuchiol along with vitamin C if you skin can tolerate it?
Love your videos!! Just found your amazing channel. Do you still use the glycolic acid wash from Loreal? I just bought it after watching an older video.
For morning routine:
I still use L’Oréal Revitalift (which I love) but the neutrogena vitamin C capsules are a bit irritating. Would you advise using Burt’s Bees day lotion with Bukinol/SPF 30 along with revitalift?
I recall you mentioning having a topical acid of some kind is very important? Also, what has replaced the holy grail Vichy mineral 98 serum?
I have sensitive skin and I've avoided buying a vitamin c serum for years and after seeing endless content everywhere about it, I finally gave in and just last night I bought my first one for $35. If only if I'd waited one more day to see this video I'd have a bottle of bakuchiol instead of vitamin c.
Hm perhaps that’s y my skin is all of a sudden having a reaction I can’t explain I have melanoma so I use lots of vitamin C by the ordinary & the one from cerave u mentioned because of the packaging…what r ur thoughts on the 2022 New Turmeric Dark Spot Corrector Serum?
For the morning routine, do we put our makeup on over all the products you suggested?
Wondering about your thoughts on using wipes for cleaning off makeup. I use the Equate brand makeup remover wipes and feel they do the job really well.
I recently learned about a stable form of vitamin C called THD… I’ve been trying it out for about a week now :-) I’m going to check outbucuchial serum, I have been on the fence about it but you reminded me about it since I quit using retinol. I love hearing this stuff from a down to earth dermatologist! :-)
Do you have any opinion about Avene retinaldehyde vs. Maelove retinaldehyde? Thanks for your great videos - very informative and straight to the point!!
I’ve been using Beekman 1802 Vitamin C serum in the morning and their Bakuchiol serum at night. Not all of the time but I tried lots of products before finding your channel and they were my favorites.
For all the Canadians out there: Retinal products ARE available in Canada. The Avene A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream and Physiolift eyes both have 0.1% Retinal. They're available at shoppers and london drugs. 😊
I saw them at shoppers but bought Neostrata retinol serum instead. I can still return. Do you know it Avene a-oxitive is better than Neostrata retinol serum (0.3%)?
@@BestWishesWarmestRegards I found the retinaldihyde (spelling?) that Avene uses is much more effective.
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks, will try that one although I feel that serums might be more effective than creams (Neostrata is a serum Vs Avene which is a cream) but maybe I am making that up in my mind.
@@BestWishesWarmestRegards it’s more about the ingredient than if it’s a cream or serum. Avene uses Retinaldehyde (Retinal) which is stronger than the Neostrada retinol. I’ve used both and it’s a big difference. Then I went from Avene to prescription Tretinoin.
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks. I got prescription Tretinoin of 0.025% off the shelf from another country. I was a bit hesitant to use it. I guess I can give it a try maybe starting once a week. And yes I will exchange Neostrata with Avene.
What do you think about sea buckton oil it has all the vitamins you need for healthy skin?
I ditched Vitamin C some time ago, because despite storing in cool place I could never use it up before it went “bad”. As for new products you’ve suggested, they certainly can’t be labeled “budget”. That’s what I normally love your videos for - truly suggesting budget alternatives.
I kept my mine (recommended by my dermo) in dark bottle in frig,too. I’m almost 70 now, so I’m pretty sure benefits are minimal at my age. I never saw any effects anyway, despite using it for years. Thank you so much for your kind offer!
What about the Elizabeth Arden vitamin c serum. I have been using that for 2 months and love it so far ! What are your views on that ?
Can we use vitamin C and bakuchiol at the same time?
I’m 31 I think like using bukuchiol in the am and retinol at night would be too much for me as my skin got already sensitive with tretinioin. Should this am routine is only for older people?
Thank you I had same issue it stings so I can’t wait to buy this!
I'm a bit overwhelmed, question can I use Bakuchiol serum at night and the vitamin C moisturizer at the same time? I'm interested in trying the Peter Roth vitamion C moisturizer but don't want to damage my skin with too much. I've really enjoyed your informative and common sense approach to skin care.
I once tried a vitamin C cleansing product and it irritated my skin. Hence I understand that it's not for everyone. I returned to my natural exfoliate once a month and everything is okay :) people are different. No one size fits all solutions..
I've just discovered this channel and the budget dermatologist and I've really been enjoying all the advice, really useful and informative. What I'm having a hard time with is that a lot of the recommended products are not budget drug store brands. Some are I agree, but a lot are not. $76 for a serum is not budget friendly, or $41 for a cleanser, again, I could never justify paying that.
She has tons of budget friendly options/ alternative products she's tested that she recommends when you don't want to spend more for costly products. Watch more videos and look at links. The bulk are budget friendly! And rem, anything too cheap that you shop for in-store or online, is going to be a cheap quality!
Fiona, where there's a will there's a way. Looks for the specific ingredients she mentions. None of this is written in stone. It's what's best for you AND your budget. I agree it's tough because these are products that you replace frequently but you can try cutting cost in some areas so you can splurge on others, streamline some products (combining them basically like she suggests) as well as looking for generic options of some of the super popular products. Good look dear. ♥
Do you think you could use the timeless skin care after you derma roll on your face or body?
I cannot use retinals, retinoids, or vitamin A on my face, since those products are harmful to my seventy-year-old eyes. Which are plagued by ocular rosacea and dry eye disease. Since I have dry, wrinkled, and sun-damaged skin, I'd love to find an eye-safe product for these concerns. Would the Bakuchiol be a safe alternative to retin A type products?
Me too! Vitamin C all seem to make my skin a bit red and irritated. It does go away but it’s not pleasant.
Neurology NP here!! Now that we don’t have to wear masks, I’ve started getting questions on skincare so I’ve been spreading the word for you! Thank you for what you do!
Can we use Bukuchiol in the moarning??? I thought it’s not possible to use anything that can make you extra sensitive or exfloliatea the skin in the AM as it can make you dark spots from the sun? Even if you use sunblock. I’m confused now
Hey Dr! Could you make a video on how to treat burn scars? Love your vids!
I find no issue with Vitamin C serum & have always had extremely sensitive skin since birth. I could not use soap as a child with out huge rashes all over my body. Maybe it is how I apply it? I wash my face and occasionally add rosewater fist, then to a wet face, add hyaluronic acid to a wet face, neck and chest. Add vitamin C, then, retinol. After that either jojoba or, evening primrose, or Greek oil skin remedy. Then aloe vera, moisture boost, face cream depending on if it is day or night. After that, add Ponds Dry Skin Cream (I have used it since I was a child and never found it irritating). Ponds is 176 years old. This means that the ingredients are simple and not filled with chemicals. Petrolatum and mineral oil protect skin. Petrol is not a chemical either, It is formed from ancient plant and animal life. Fertilizer is made out of it ad carbon in botany journals is classified as a nutrient for plants. They renew oxygen by breathing in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Plants/Trees and humans are interdependent on each other. We need to remember that!
Love this!
What are your thoughts on Sisely skincare products? Or have you heard of that brand?
Thanks for making these video’s! They are very informative to me as I am new to skincare. I have a question: I noticed in the anti wrinkle drops one of the ingredients is lactic acid, and afterwards you put on vitamin C cream. Don’t these ingredients clash with each other? I am trying to find products with all the necessary ingredients without them clashing, but I don’t know how big of an impact/reaction some of these will have. TIA!
LA makes pH of skin lower. So it s a good preparation before applying vit C
Where would an acne treatment gel ( adapolene) fit into this routine?
Retrinal eyes and physiolift eyes are the same product, I have compared their ingredients and I can assure you it's the same thing..The company has different line names for different countries..Here in Morocco it's the Physiolift that's available in the market. Btw I currently use the eye cream based on your recommendation. Thank you
I am a recent subscriber and have a question regarding retinaldehyde. Super important for the routine. I was using tretinoin for approximately 4 months and could not get past the constant irritation. I discontinued when I began my research on retinaldehyde and have been using Osmosis Correct (middle strength) would you recommend the Avene retinaldehyde over this product? I don't know the percentage of vitamin A in the product I am currently using but it also contains DNA repair antioxidants and collagen booster. I was going to graduate up to the next step in the Osmosis line but wondering if I should try the Avene retinaldehyde. Look forward to your thoughts!
I LOVE that Tula cleanser. It is pricey but to me worth ever penny!!! I’ve noticed great improvement in my skin texture since switching to it. I don’t think I will ever go back to Cerave
I have sensitive combo skin and I have hard time with rich vit C serums, I break out especially chin area. I will definetly use this tip in the mornings and change my routine. I also break out badly on chin area when I use retinol around my lips and chin area. It is a bummer because I get the aging shows around chin area and my lip sides. (sagging process started very mildly and I can see it) and I need retinol around that area.
It s normal to purge during retinixation. Just incorporate Azelaic acid for AM (Finacea, Skinoren) and retinol or Differon for PM.
Like this 6 months and u will overcome purging from vit A derivatives
I know this is an old video but I hope you see this. Paula’s Choice has a variety of “anti-aging” serums. PC also has regular sales, at least in the States, I would like to see someone review and compare all these serums and let us know which is best for different skin types. The PC website is confusing, this would be a big help for those of us who want a one and done morning serum.
Thanks for your tips! I have been using the Bioderma Pigmentbio daily care and I love it. it contains ASCORBYL GLUCOSIDE. What do you think of this Vit C ?
Tried the holy grail vitamin C& E product and it sadly irritated my skin. My new mineral gently tinted SPF face, neck , and upper chest cream with almost 20% zinc oxide and shy of 10% titanium oxide is a dream product plus no fragrance and well carefully formulated other ingredients I believe. Point I am asking is what is ideal component percentage of those oxides should be in mineral spf?
HA! I just got the L'Oreal glycolic acid cleanser you recommended and cerave vitamin c serum. Love them both, btw.
Nice!! I still use those and love them. Holy grails...even though they are not in my personal routine at this moment.
Can you use VC **AND** Bakuchiol?
What is your skin type (normal, combo, dry, oily)?
I just received the Tula, bright start vitamin C. I was excited to try it as I was liking the idea of having the vitamin C and day cream in one step.. I tried the Tula last Friday morning and that night was face was very itchy and was burning. It continued to be like that for two days. I stopped all my products as everything was irritating my skin. This is now Monday and I just put on my cerave day cream as my skin feels like chicken skin now! I am assuming it was from the Tula but I did a test on the inside of my arm yesterday and today but I had no reaction.. I am hoping it isn’t the Tula, as I really liked how it went on and gives a little glow. Just wondering how long I should avoid using my other products for? Also BTW I use the Avene, bakuchiol product for over a month and I absolutely love it!!
I get that reaction from Timeless 20% Vit C. I tried mixing it with Timeless CoQ10 and thought that was OK, but 2 days later, same reaction. No more Vit C for me.
Do you have any recommendations for creating lip fullness? I think most injected lip fillers look terrible.
What if you have very sensitive Rosacea Fungal Acne skin, which tend to not like anything on the skin from AHA/BHA, Retinol, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Green Tea, Snail, Aloe Vera, Centella Asiatica etc. I’ve tried all the hyped products from various brand, western (European), K-beauty and J-beauty which is why I have Rosacea and Fungal
acne in the 1st place. Too much too soon. I’ve tried Bakuchiol in Paula’s Choice and various K-beauty products. I reacted badly, but could either be due to Fungal Acne or the fact that I have Food allergies as well as severe grass pollen allergies🤷🏾♀️🙄🙇🏾😢 And prior to ruining my skin, and now having to live with Rosacea and Malassezia Folliculitis, I did use Retinol, and Niacinamide. Now none of what I used to use works. Like I give up. Spent thousands on skincare, hyped, recommended etc. for my skin type/conditions, yet nothing works. All I use now are the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (Cerave is not fungal acne safe), Avene Tolerance Extreme Emulsion and Nivea (Japan) chemical sunscreen. Can’t use physical due to fungal acne. The fungal acne means 99% of what’s on the market is unsuitable for my skin anyway… and even the products I now use, breaks me out, but I haven’t found anything better that doesn’t sting, dry out my skin, or gives me red bumps, hives etc. My skin is probably dehydrated, but also needs fat/oil aka moisturizer, but can’t use it doe to the fungal acne feeds on fatty alcohols, amino acids, oils etc. I use Squalane but if from Olives again breaks me out. And it’s not fattening enough for my dehydrated skin. I drink a lot of water (have for years), and stopped smoking back in 2014. Prior to this I had sensitive combination oily skin, but never acne prone or any issues with acne in general. So frustrating because whatever I try or put on, breaks me out, or triggers the Rosacea and fungal acne. Yet I do believe my skin is very simple and doesn’t like a lot of products.
I have rosacea and used vitamin C for a couple years UNTIL I developed seborrheic dermatitis (thank you compromised immune system and wearing masks so much). Now I can’t wear vitamin C anymore. 😢 I love hearing about the moisturizer having a stable formula.
Unfortunately I think the Makeup Eraser also contributed to my SD development. It did not do well on removing all of my foundation and sunscreen. I only realized it months later when I bought DHC Cleansing oil and used it after the makeup eraser. I used the makeup eraser as normal then used a white washcloth to apply the cleanser and the washcloth came away with makeup/tinted sunscreen on it. I chucked my makeup erasers and advise friends to use other options to clean their face.
What are your thoughts on the Agency brand of retinoids? I have been hearing lots of good things about that company.
I tried the Tula vitamin c moisturizer and it gave me a really red rash. Not for sensitive skin or rosacea
Are u using retinal in the morning?
What do you think about Vichy or neo strata products for mature women
This is great info. I like a short sweet morning & evening routine. Vit C & retinol are my biggest frustrations. I'm utterly scared of tretinoin because how it irritates my skin.
You've provided some great alternatives. Hearing lots about bakuchiol. Thx!
I was excited to find these videos but now I'm just utterly CONFUSED after watching 4 or 5 of them. Even with trying to screenshot some specific segments 😢😢😢 my brain hurts now...darn. I'm going to keep trying!
I had to return all the Tula products I purchased after this video. Not sure why but it irriated my skin. I bought the balm, wrinkle serum and the eye cream. I really wanted to try the retinol alternative since im pregnant 😭
@TheBudgetDermatologist Thank you so much for this video!! I was wondering as well, what shade of nail polish are you wearing please? So pretty!
Aw thank you! So sweet!! I cannot remember what this shade is called haha, next time I'll be sure to take note!
@@TheBudgetDermatologist I appreciate it!! I’ve been in search of a pretty everyday pink and I think that shade is perfect. Thank you for responding, and I hope you have a great day! I love your videos!
Dr. Locke, can one use bakuchiol serum along with vitamin c serum?
Hi! Thanks for your videos, but I have a doubt about bakuchiol, 6 months ago when I went to my dermatologist she told me that there aren’t enough studies to establish that Bakuchiol does what it claims to do. Have something change in this months? Is it really proven to work as retinol but gentle?
This is true, there are not enough studies on bakuchiol. Futhermore, no study has compared bakuchiol to tretinoin, which we know is the gold standard retinoid that gets to work immediately in your skin with over 40 years of research. They've only compared bakuchiol to retinol.
