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!
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 :)
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!
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! ✌️
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
Skincare and anti aging regimen are a roadmap to killing your pockets and can also be disappointing. I am a firm believer, use what truly works for you. I do realize somewhere down the line , your face care, may have to swich up for better results during Summer and Winter and making sure you research as much as possible. I watch several dermatologist, and I truly love the education on this channel ❤ I actually use adaphalene with retinoid and love it. I had been using the Tru C and now have moved to the Cera V vitamin C which has been wonderful. Ty for putting these options out here.
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!
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%)?
@@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.
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.
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.
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. ♥
Before, my skin was not smooth and showed dark spots. However now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin feels much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, something I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, which is great for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and doesn't leave any residue.
I have been using this riceberry serum for a considerable period and its results are amazing. My face now appears clear and luminous. Additionally, it hydrates my skin and penetrates my skin rapidly into my skin, giving me a bright and shiny look. Loved it.
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.
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.
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
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!
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?
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.
People, these dermatlogists have to work with different brands at the same time to make money... It does not mean those who follows them need to buy every product they "suggest". If that was the case, I'd be broke so far..!😂 Just make notes and spend money on the prods you think will work on your skin.
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
Don’t follow everything she says blindly. I love this channel because of the tons of info I get here. Try things and use what works for you at least we have the facts.
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!
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.) ❤🌺🙏
Vitamin c serums always broke me out. I spoke to my technician who is amazing in skincare about finding the perfect vitamin c serum and she was the only one who told me,,,don't waste your money, vitamin c is not for everyone and it's not necessary, a lot is marketing. She told me that I have a mild case of rosacea and vitamin c would make it worse.
Interesting! Vitamin c is actually great for managing rosacea. Anti-inflammatory, strengthens the capillaries I wonder what new information I’m missing
I believe in vitamin C internally, not on my skin. It's honestly a fad. Having enough vitamine C intake will help the skin a lot because it helps to reduce inflammation. I recommend it!
@@emmaphilo4049 vitamin C is great for brightening and pigmentation. Definitely shows improvement on the clients I have worked with. Also taking supplements orally is also important for overall health. I don’t think it’s holy grail level but it definitely works.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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 have been using the Avene RetrinAL for my face and I also have the RetrinAL Eyes and I am really enjoying them. I agree they r more on the pricey side, but it works for me. I love how I don't have the irritation.
I still use ascorbic acid on my skin. I mix up a tea spoon of cosmetic grade ascorbic acid in a two oz bottle, with a matchstick head sized amount of baking soda to raise the ph to tolerable levels. I store the bottle in the fridge keep the solution from oxidizing, and it always stays clear to the last drop. There are more complicated recipes for diy vitamin c serum on RUclips. In the future I may add a few drops of licorice extract for additional protection form hyperpigmentation, provided the solution stays acidic. These ingredients can easily be found on Amazon, and they inexpensive. Just refrigerate the ingredients as well as the bottle to keep everything fresh, and they will last awhile. The amounts and ph can be tweaked to accommodate sensitive skin. I like my solution because it is easily affordable, and the supplies pay for themselves after several bottles.
@@StillBloom You can't go wrong with distilled water. I use tap water, although my water is relatively soft. You may want to invest in tiny measuring spoons, ph test strips, and a tiny funnel. I'm even going to get dessicant packs to my in my ascorbic acid powder, as keeping it cold and dry will make it last a long time. Generally speaking, the lower the ph, the better your skin will absorb it ascorbic acid. Try to keep it below 3.5 if your skin is OK with it. I originally had a longer and more detailed posting for you, but RUclips kept deleting it.
Great video Dr. Locke! Thank you for letting us know about new brands that work for you that we may like even if they are more expensive. You always let us know if you think the benefit will outweigh the price.
I get that there are options and not just one product per issue, however, it is crazy to me that there are people using 5-10 different products just for skin care. Are we losing our mind here just because we’re afraid of aging?
Re the comments below. The doctor is showing you her routine. She's not telling you what to use. Sometimes, if a product becomes popular then, others will copy it, and then that will be less money. .
Yes! This is just a "behind the scenes" kind of video to show you what's up this summer in my routine and clear up some questions surrounding my vitamin C usage right now. This in NO way is supposed to be taken as "This is what you need to buy or do" advice. And like I always say: If you have products or a routine that you love and is working for you right now...DONT CHANGE A THING! It's so hard to get to a place where you have a really awesome routine that is getting you results. So be consistent and go with it. I say I need to take my own advice more lol but my research has led me down a rabbit hole on Bakuchiol, microbiome, and more so here I am shaking things up...and I'm not mad about it! so far so good :)
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 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! :-)
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.🙂
I watched your drug store video and bought the following: La Roche Posay cleansers La Roche Posay moisturizers Avene RetinAl for face and eye Timeless Vit C serum Australian Gold SPF I followed your AM and PM routine to a T from your recent videos. And now you changed course? As a healthcare provider like you are, you convinced me on the science of it all. But respectfully, I hope you won’t keep changing your routine for content or income from this products. It might be confusing your followers. Nonetheless, appreciate your thorough explanations on the science behind some of the products you talk about.
Just because she changes her skin care routine doesn't mean that you have to do that too. Always do your research and see what works for you! I mean if she ends up saying that she is going to incorporate hmm...dog fieces to her skin care routine are you going to do that too?😂 No right? Lol
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.
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.
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.
I love my vit c and have seen results. It’s hard to find a good one with some many duds on the market. Also it is irritating for some but if you’re skin can take it’s worth it
All these videos are so frustrating. I watch several of them. They will advise certain products and then they change!! These people can afford to change but us regular people can not!
I agree I just watched one of her videos and bought all the stuff and now she’s coming out with this I just noticed and she’s changing everything very frustrating I’m probably not gonna follow her anymore and go to another dermatologist video
@@theravenmagick I just wrote down everything from the other video as well. Then I saw this video was 10 month as to that one 1 yr ago. Good thing I havent gone to store yet.
Why not just add bakuchiol after vitamin c serum? It seems counterintuitive to swich out a proven ingredient that also enhances sunscreen (!!!!) to an ingredient that is really not tested that much and it is minimally convincing so far.
Because this is a sponsored video. I thought she was the budget dermatologist but she’s showing stuff that cost $78 for a one ounce bottle of cream. How is that budget?I guess it’s considered budget skincare if you’re rich.
Bakuchiol is similar to every other product that encourages cell turnover. I've started using it after watching her Tula video, and it has proven itself to me. But my skin is so sensitive I could never use it the same time as something else that has a similar effect like vitamin c, AHA, etc.
I’ve watched many dermatologist videos, and yours seems to be the shadiest… It seems like you’re promoting that company more than what people really want. Just my opinion.
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.
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!
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?
Never much of a vitamin c person. Acne was always a bigger issue for me so I would rather spend that money of retinol/retinal creams, adapelene, and azelaic acid gel cream. And of course, sunscreen; I have two extra bottles of Avene Intense Protect and Biore Watery Essence!! Now this does not mean I completely shy away from vitamic c products. I do like Farm Stay Dr V8 Vitamin Ampoule; it works well on my body skin so I use it when I need any brightening on my body. On the inexpensive side, too (around 25$ for 250ml). Definitely want to try LRP and Vichy vitamic c products BUT again I would rather spend that on retinoids and azelaic acid and sunscreen.
To those that are upset because she’s not using her vitamin C serum anymore just because she does not use it does not mean that she does not recommend it for you. It just means she’s providing other people recommendations. Don’t sit there and head on her because she wants to try something different for herself! She’s allowed to try different things for herself. She did not say you should not use the other products that she was using!
1st time watching. Products look great, but for me a bit disappointing as your title says Budget Dermatologist but these products are far from budget friendly when I looked them up online. You did add a few items to try on a budget so maybe I'll try those.
Yes, agree, she should change the name of the channel, and most products area somewhat expensive and need to be ordered from a website from which she gets a cut
I agree. She usually does videos with budget friendly drugstore products and now she's changed her whole routine to products I sure can't afford on my budget.
Oh for goodness sake, she has a whole channel filled with videos featuring budget items. She doesn’t need to change the name of her channel because of one outlier. Grow the hell up. These are the products in HER current routine. She isn’t telling anyone they have to go out and buy these things. If you’re not interested in these, go watch literally any other video on her channel.
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 have used bakuchiol from Inkeylist for months in the a.m. I have also used vitamin C serum from the ordinary (in hyaluronic acid) as well. My final step in the a.m. is sunscreen from Heliocare 360 (from Spain).
I think some people ignore the most important thing about skin care and anti aging, Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen! Can’t say how much I regret not using sunscreen in my 20s
Is she being paid royalties or something? The routine seems to be changing on the fly and the number of products she's supposedly using daily is impossible to call "budget".
There are at least published studies that demonstrate the efficacy of a vitamin C product, but this is lacking in terms of bakuchiol. Why make that switch?
Btw they are easy to preserve and keep fresh, as long as you know what you're doing. I only have to do this once so it's nothing: i wrap the bottle in aluminum foil to disrupt all UV. Then, i keep it in the fridge. It lasts forever, and kept in a great condition while i was gradually introducing it (so not using it every day). I totally understand if it wasn't pleasant to use though. I would - not- use it if it was unpleasant. Definitely not worth it! Instead of bakuchiol, however, i would use an ingredient that still has research to back it up in terms of antiageing, like glycolic acid.
Really surprised me too, coming from a dermatologist. And if she wanted to incorporate bakuchiol, why not use both? It’s a red flag that she calls it a ‘retinol alternative’. Makes me wonder if she knows what’s she’s doing…
Use Vit C vs Bakuchiol depending on your skin’s needs! If you need it to fix even pigmentation seemed primary. Both will deal with dark spots. But you MUST use sunscreen with Vit C (if you’re outside at all you SHOULD) but she didn’t seem concerned about using sunscreen w the Bakuchiol. Odd coming from a Derm!!
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!
This video is coming off the heels of my deep dive into microbiome skincare. So my current routine reflects that because I really try to use products for quite a bit of time before I can talk in depth about them. Tula products are formulated to balance the skin microbiome which I find fascinating and am trying to learn more about! Throughout this video, I do give budget alternatives to the Tula products and have some budget picks linked in the description below as well (a Bakuchiol option for as low as $10, among others!). I will always continue to try both high-end all the way to super affordable products/brands so I truly understand the full spectrum of what is out there and can therefore speak knowledgeably about "when to spend and when to save." After all, even if a product is at a super affordable price...if it doesn't work, then it's a waste of money (even if it's a waste of a small amount of money)!
Well I suppose if she wasn't always changing her mind about skincare routines then she'd have way less videos for us to click and way less products for her to plug.
I use both bukachiol and vitamin c serum. I cannot use retinol due to my very dry skin and eczema. Like you, vitamin c serum irritates me, but I found one that doesn’t - CeraVe! Their vitamin c serum is very well tolerated by sensitive skin babes - formulated with hyloraunic acid and it’s 10% vitamin c serum.
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 😊
Thank you so much for the video. I have been using prescription strength Tretinoin 0.1% for about two years 4-5 nights a week. I am 45 years old female. I use 20% vitamin C serum(timeless) I have a great diet, no sugar most of the time. I do eat some fruits. My sister thinks I am wasting my time and not even enjoying my life for nothing. She doesn’t see no results on me. I get discouraged that I work so hard and I don’t see results. I can’t afford expensive office procedures.
You are not supposed to see results. By the time you are 50-55 you may look better than if you hadn't taken care of yourself. It's only been two years. These aren't methods to make you look 20. These preventive measures. Ignore your sister and don't ask anyone. If you need anything go to your dermatologist.
I love your budget skincare product advice, thank you I have to correct myself, most products are not budget friendly😅 I am sorry but I take my like back, I gave it because it began really nice but all the other products are expensive
I am highly allergic to the Aveńe bakuchiol serum! My eyes were nearly swollen shut the next morning and I had hives all over my face and chest. I love the other Aveńe products and was excited to try this but, unfortunately, I will not be able to use it in the future.
You mention the Vitamin C serum was irritating, but you experienced no side effects or breakouts. It "just wasn't nice to use". I'm a bit confused about how we normal people should determine if something is irritating or not. Could you please explain, I feel like most people don't understand irritation properly
Redness, a slight and brief fiery feeling, etc are some uncomfortable experiences I've had from certain products. Persisting to use them daily would usually lead to dry patches or breakouts. Hope that explanation helps!
@@toeareg100 I was sharing my experience of what it feels like to have skin irritation but not break out since Pamela hasn't had that experience before and was asking about it.
The Route has the best skincare line & has won many awards. It launched in the Fall of 2020. Their new tinted sunscreen is the best! I love their Party Peel & their daily Golden Rule Next Generation Retinoid.
I am layering Skinceuticals Vit CE Ferulic with the Avene Bakucchiol serum in the morning…been about one month. I think I’m seeing a difference but hard to say. I know it can take two months or more since skin changeover is so slow…
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.

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’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
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.

Skincare and anti aging regimen are a roadmap to killing your pockets and can also be disappointing. I am a firm believer, use what truly works for you. I do realize somewhere down the line , your face care, may have to swich up for better results during Summer and Winter and making sure you research as much as possible. I watch several dermatologist, and I truly love the education on this channel ❤ I actually use adaphalene with retinoid and love it. I had been using the Tru C and now have moved to the Cera V vitamin C which has been wonderful. Ty for putting these options out here.
I like the Cerave Vitamin C serum so much better than any other I've used and it's gentle.
15:45 She says she’s switching to a Vit C MOISTURIZER instead of a serum so she can add in bukuchiol
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!
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.
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 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.
Vanicream cleanser is wonderful. Short list of ingredients, gentle, takes off makeup and sunscreen, and feels very elegant. I love it.
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. ♥
Before, my skin was not smooth and showed dark spots. However now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin feels much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, something I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, which is great for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and doesn't leave any residue.
I have been using this riceberry serum for a considerable period and its results are amazing. My face now appears clear and luminous. Additionally, it hydrates my skin and penetrates my skin rapidly into my skin, giving me a bright and shiny look. Loved it.
How is avene considered budget? 🙄
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.
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.
DIFFERIN Scar Gel is my Bakuchiol of choice. Has centella, silicones, sea buckthorn oil, and some peptides as well all for $20ish
Amazing recommendation! thanks for sharing :)
The inkey list Bakuchoil is cheaper. 😉
I'm also ordering a Bakuchoil serum from SOMETHINC. only cost US$10
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
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!
You should change your name from the budget dermatologist to the affiliated dermatologist.
“I love this one”. Yeah now you do, but next week you probably won’t. 😂
I love Cerave Vitamin C for my skin. It's very pleasant to use, but thanks Doc.
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
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.
People, these dermatlogists have to work with different brands at the same time to make money... It does not mean those who follows them need to buy every product they "suggest". If that was the case, I'd be broke so far..!😂 Just make notes and spend money on the prods you think will work on your skin.
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
Me too! Vitamin C all seem to make my skin a bit red and irritated. It does go away but it’s not pleasant.
Don’t follow everything she says blindly. I love this channel because of the tons of info I get here. Try things and use what works for you at least we have the facts.
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!
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.) ❤🌺🙏
Appreciate your updated routine details.
Some people don't update video content, and leave us hanging on 2+ yr old options. ☺️
Vitamin c serums always broke me out. I spoke to my technician who is amazing in skincare about finding the perfect vitamin c serum and she was the only one who told me,,,don't waste your money, vitamin c is not for everyone and it's not necessary, a lot is marketing. She told me that I have a mild case of rosacea and vitamin c would make it worse.
Interesting! Vitamin c is actually great for managing rosacea. Anti-inflammatory, strengthens the capillaries I wonder what new information I’m missing
I think it all depends on the ingredients
I believe in vitamin C internally, not on my skin. It's honestly a fad.
Having enough vitamine C intake will help the skin a lot because it helps to reduce inflammation. I recommend it!
@@emmaphilo4049 vitamin C is great for brightening and pigmentation. Definitely shows improvement on the clients I have worked with. Also taking supplements orally is also important for overall health. I don’t think it’s holy grail level but it definitely works.
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!
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.
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.
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 :)
this is what i need, less product, easy to follow,simple😊, Appreciate you❤
Lol a month ago you made a video about shopping for vitamin C serums 🙃
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!
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.
Dr...please ignore all the negative comments...geeeeez....
I have been using the Avene RetrinAL for my face and I also have the RetrinAL Eyes and I am really enjoying them. I agree they r more on the pricey side, but it works for me. I love how I don't have the irritation.
The Retrinal eyes got rid of my dark circles. It took a whole bottle, but the results are incredibly satisfying
@@zizzie4081 That's awesome!
I still use ascorbic acid on my skin. I mix up a tea spoon of cosmetic grade ascorbic acid in a two oz bottle, with a matchstick head sized amount of baking soda to raise the ph to tolerable levels. I store the bottle in the fridge keep the solution from oxidizing, and it always stays clear to the last drop.
There are more complicated recipes for diy vitamin c serum on RUclips.
In the future I may add a few drops of licorice extract for additional protection form hyperpigmentation, provided the solution stays acidic.
These ingredients can easily be found on Amazon, and they inexpensive. Just refrigerate the ingredients as well as the bottle to keep everything fresh, and they will last awhile. The amounts and ph can be tweaked to accommodate sensitive skin. I like my solution because it is easily affordable, and the supplies pay for themselves after several bottles.
I would love to try this. What do you mix the ascorbic acid/baking soda with - distilled water?
@@StillBloom You can't go wrong with distilled water. I use tap water, although my water is relatively soft. You may want to invest in tiny measuring spoons, ph test strips, and a tiny funnel. I'm even going to get dessicant packs to my in my ascorbic acid powder, as keeping it cold and dry will make it last a long time.
Generally speaking, the lower the ph, the better your skin will absorb it ascorbic acid. Try to keep it below 3.5 if your skin is OK with it.
I originally had a longer and more detailed posting for you, but RUclips kept deleting it.
@@megaliberty No worries - this is a great explanation and I'm definitely going to look into it! Thank you for sharing! :)
@@bathemeinchampagne Thank you for your tip as well - will keep the green tea in mind!
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!
Great video Dr. Locke! Thank you for letting us know about new brands that work for you that we may like even if they are more expensive. You always let us know if you think the benefit will outweigh the price.
Thanks for watching Cynthia!
I get that there are options and not just one product per issue, however, it is crazy to me that there are people using 5-10 different products just for skin care. Are we losing our mind here just because we’re afraid of aging?
Yes. 😀
Agreed. Especially considering the price of each one.
Re the comments below. The doctor is showing you her routine. She's not telling you what to use. Sometimes, if a product becomes popular then, others will copy it, and then that will be less money. .
Yes! This is just a "behind the scenes" kind of video to show you what's up this summer in my routine and clear up some questions surrounding my vitamin C usage right now. This in NO way is supposed to be taken as "This is what you need to buy or do" advice. And like I always say: If you have products or a routine that you love and is working for you right now...DONT CHANGE A THING! It's so hard to get to a place where you have a really awesome routine that is getting you results. So be consistent and go with it. I say I need to take my own advice more lol but my research has led me down a rabbit hole on Bakuchiol, microbiome, and more so here I am shaking things up...and I'm not mad about it! so far so good :)
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 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! :-)
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.🙂
I watched your drug store video and bought the following:
La Roche Posay cleansers
La Roche Posay moisturizers
Avene RetinAl for face and eye
Timeless Vit C serum
Australian Gold SPF
I followed your AM and PM routine to a T from your recent videos.
And now you changed course?
As a healthcare provider like you are, you convinced me on the science of it all.
But respectfully, I hope you won’t keep changing
your routine for content or income from this products. It might be confusing your followers.
Nonetheless, appreciate your thorough explanations on the science behind some of the products you talk about.
I did the same and am wondering if I made the right decision now.
I hear yah and it’s a lot of money. I can’t change these products every week.
Just because she changes her skin care routine doesn't mean that you have to do that too. Always do your research and see what works for you! I mean if she ends up saying that she is going to incorporate hmm...dog fieces to her skin care routine are you going to do that too?😂 No right? Lol
Yes agree,buy all products and then changes them all
I agree!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for all your valuable videos, great information and for always giving us budget friendly alternatives to products.
I love my vit c and have seen results. It’s hard to find a good one with some many duds on the market. Also it is irritating for some but if you’re skin can take it’s worth it
All these videos are so frustrating. I watch several of them. They will advise certain products and then they change!! These people can afford to change but us regular people can not!
I agree I just watched one of her videos and bought all the stuff and now she’s coming out with this I just noticed and she’s changing everything very frustrating I’m probably not gonna follow her anymore and go to another dermatologist video
I LEGIT JUST BOUGHT A VITAMIN C SERUM BECAUSE OF YOUR OTHER VIDEO
@@theravenmagicksame
🤦🏻♀️
@@theravenmagick I just wrote down everything from the other video as well. Then I saw this video was 10 month as to that one 1 yr ago. Good thing I havent gone to store yet.
Hey Dr! Could you make a video on how to treat burn scars? Love your vids!
Why not just add bakuchiol after vitamin c serum? It seems counterintuitive to swich out a proven ingredient that also enhances sunscreen (!!!!) to an ingredient that is really not tested that much and it is minimally convincing so far.
Because this is a sponsored video. I thought she was the budget dermatologist but she’s showing stuff that cost $78 for a one ounce bottle of cream. How is that budget?I guess it’s considered budget skincare if you’re rich.
@@laikanbarth none of her videos are sponsored. She will say if something was sent to her; otherwise she purchases everything.
Bakuchiol is similar to every other product that encourages cell turnover. I've started using it after watching her Tula video, and it has proven itself to me. But my skin is so sensitive I could never use it the same time as something else that has a similar effect like vitamin c, AHA, etc.
Agree. Especially for people who don’t have a skin issue with vit c. She’s technically still using vit c but it’s just in her moisturizers now.
She talked about that in the video
I’ve watched many dermatologist videos, and yours seems to be the shadiest… It seems like you’re promoting that company more than what people really want. Just my opinion.
Dollar Tree has the makeup remove cloths and I like them just as much as my more expensive ones.
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.
I am new to watching your videos and I feel very frustrated because you go back and forth on products and your advice on what to use on your skin.
I noticed the date on this particular video and have since watched more current where you are back on Vit C??
She`s like the wind🧚♀
I do have A very inexpensive Bakuchiol from Target. I’m going to alternate in the am with vitamin c. I don’t have issues with the vitamin c
could you please share the name of the Bakuchiol product you are using from Target? thank you.
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!
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?
Never much of a vitamin c person. Acne was always a bigger issue for me so I would rather spend that money of retinol/retinal creams, adapelene, and azelaic acid gel cream. And of course, sunscreen; I have two extra bottles of Avene Intense Protect and Biore Watery Essence!! Now this does not mean I completely shy away from vitamic c products. I do like Farm Stay Dr V8 Vitamin Ampoule; it works well on my body skin so I use it when I need any brightening on my body. On the inexpensive side, too (around 25$ for 250ml). Definitely want to try LRP and Vichy vitamic c products BUT again I would rather spend that on retinoids and azelaic acid and sunscreen.
To those that are upset because she’s not using her vitamin C serum anymore just because she does not use it does not mean that she does not recommend it for you. It just means she’s providing other people recommendations. Don’t sit there and head on her because she wants to try something different for herself! She’s allowed to try different things for herself. She did not say you should not use the other products that she was using!
1st time watching. Products look great, but for me a bit disappointing as your title says Budget Dermatologist but these products are far from budget friendly when I looked them up online. You did add a few items to try on a budget so maybe I'll try those.
Yes, agree, she should change the name of the channel, and most products area somewhat expensive and need to be ordered from a website from which she gets a cut
I agree. She usually does videos with budget friendly drugstore products and now she's changed her whole routine to products I sure can't afford on my budget.
Oh for goodness sake, she has a whole channel filled with videos featuring budget items. She doesn’t need to change the name of her channel because of one outlier. Grow the hell up. These are the products in HER current routine. She isn’t telling anyone they have to go out and buy these things. If you’re not interested in these, go watch literally any other video on her channel.
Vit c irritates my skin, for the antioxidant protection I use inkey list Q10
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
Is it ok if you tell us your age please? I would just like to gauge how effective a consistent antiaging skincare routine is. Thank you!!
I have used bakuchiol from Inkeylist for months in the a.m. I have also used vitamin C serum from the ordinary (in hyaluronic acid) as well. My final step in the a.m. is sunscreen from Heliocare 360 (from Spain).
Good routine! I am using the inkey just for two weeks. I love it. And I found a way to apply over eye area without irritating.
Your videos are very informative and interesting! What is your opinion of 0.1% Differin as a retinoid for anti-aging?
Sorry if I sounded harsh in my comment.I don't mean to be.You give alternatives if things don't work out.So far your advice is helpful! THANK YOU!
I think some people ignore the most important thing about skin care and anti aging, Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen! Can’t say how much I regret not using sunscreen in my 20s
Sunscreen is #1 !! I am trying to reverse 40 yrs of neglecting sunscreen in So Cal😭... Finally showing a little improvement @69y.o
Is she being paid royalties or something? The routine seems to be changing on the fly and the number of products she's supposedly using daily is impossible to call "budget".
There are at least published studies that demonstrate the efficacy of a vitamin C product, but this is lacking in terms of bakuchiol. Why make that switch?
Btw they are easy to preserve and keep fresh, as long as you know what you're doing. I only have to do this once so it's nothing: i wrap the bottle in aluminum foil to disrupt all UV. Then, i keep it in the fridge. It lasts forever, and kept in a great condition while i was gradually introducing it (so not using it every day).
I totally understand if it wasn't pleasant to use though. I would - not- use it if it was unpleasant. Definitely not worth it!
Instead of bakuchiol, however, i would use an ingredient that still has research to back it up in terms of antiageing, like glycolic acid.
Really surprised me too, coming from a dermatologist. And if she wanted to incorporate bakuchiol, why not use both? It’s a red flag that she calls it a ‘retinol alternative’. Makes me wonder if she knows what’s she’s doing…
All I use is ponds cold cream and ponds dry skin cream and that’s all you need. People never believe I’m my age when I tell them….
This is all my mother in law used and her skin was so soft and glowy even in her late 60’s
in your other video you said use vit c . So what is it use or dont?
She says she’s switching to a Vit C MOISTURIZER instead of a serum so she can add in bukuchiol as a serum
Use Vit C vs Bakuchiol depending on your skin’s needs! If you need it to fix even pigmentation seemed primary. Both will deal with dark spots. But you MUST use sunscreen with Vit C (if you’re outside at all you SHOULD) but she didn’t seem concerned about using sunscreen w the Bakuchiol. Odd coming from a Derm!!
@@wplants9793but bakuchiol I thought it was for night . Why switching she can u se backuchiol w vit c . Also why is she using retinal in the morning?
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!
I love your videos but now it seems to be getting off “budget” and on to Tula products 🥺 still going to watch hopefully you’ll get back on track
This video is coming off the heels of my deep dive into microbiome skincare. So my current routine reflects that because I really try to use products for quite a bit of time before I can talk in depth about them. Tula products are formulated to balance the skin microbiome which I find fascinating and am trying to learn more about! Throughout this video, I do give budget alternatives to the Tula products and have some budget picks linked in the description below as well (a Bakuchiol option for as low as $10, among others!). I will always continue to try both high-end all the way to super affordable products/brands so I truly understand the full spectrum of what is out there and can therefore speak knowledgeably about "when to spend and when to save." After all, even if a product is at a super affordable price...if it doesn't work, then it's a waste of money (even if it's a waste of a small amount of money)!
Tula is out of my price range for sure..
I tried the Tula vitamin c moisturizer and it gave me a really red rash. Not for sensitive skin or rosacea
If sensitive to Retinol. Try the La roche posay Retinolbin red bottle. It's formulated with hydrating ingredients. It works fine on my sensitive skin.
Well I suppose if she wasn't always changing her mind about skincare routines then she'd have way less videos for us to click and way less products for her to plug.
Can we use vitamin C and bakuchiol at the same time?
I use both bukachiol and vitamin c serum. I cannot use retinol due to my very dry skin and eczema. Like you, vitamin c serum irritates me, but I found one that doesn’t - CeraVe! Their vitamin c serum is very well tolerated by sensitive skin babes - formulated with hyloraunic acid and it’s 10% vitamin c serum.
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 😊
Hated the Tula eye cream. Not a nice consistency and not moisturizing for me. Exchanged it at Sephora for Biossance Squalane + marine algae.
Thank you so much for the video. I have been using prescription strength Tretinoin 0.1% for about two years 4-5 nights a week. I am 45 years old female. I use 20% vitamin C serum(timeless) I have a great diet, no sugar most of the time. I do eat some fruits. My sister thinks I am wasting my time and not even enjoying my life for nothing. She doesn’t see no results on me. I get discouraged that I work so hard and I don’t see results. I can’t afford expensive office procedures.
Tretinoid will pay dividends later in life, remain consistent with it and it will pay off.
You are not supposed to see results. By the time you are 50-55 you may look better than if you hadn't taken care of yourself. It's only been two years. These aren't methods to make you look 20. These preventive measures. Ignore your sister and don't ask anyone. If you need anything go to your dermatologist.
I love your budget skincare product advice, thank you
I have to correct myself, most products are not budget friendly😅
I am sorry but I take my like back, I gave it because it began really nice but all the other products are expensive
I am highly allergic to the Aveńe bakuchiol serum! My eyes were nearly swollen shut the next morning and I had hives all over my face and chest. I love the other Aveńe products and was excited to try this but, unfortunately, I will not be able to use it in the future.
You mention the Vitamin C serum was irritating, but you experienced no side effects or breakouts. It "just wasn't nice to use". I'm a bit confused about how we normal people should determine if something is irritating or not. Could you please explain, I feel like most people don't understand irritation properly
If you use a product or certain ingredient and it causes you some kind of irritation and makes you break out, then its not for you.
Redness, a slight and brief fiery feeling, etc are some uncomfortable experiences I've had from certain products. Persisting to use them daily would usually lead to dry patches or breakouts. Hope that explanation helps!
But she doesn’t say that.

@@toeareg100 I was sharing my experience of what it feels like to have skin irritation but not break out since Pamela hasn't had that experience before and was asking about it.
The Route has the best skincare line & has won many awards. It launched in the Fall of 2020. Their new tinted sunscreen is the best! I love their Party Peel & their daily Golden Rule Next Generation Retinoid.
Great Video! Can you use both bakuchiol along with vitamin C if you skin can tolerate it?
I am layering Skinceuticals Vit CE Ferulic with the Avene Bakucchiol serum in the morning…been about one month. I think I’m seeing a difference but hard to say. I know it can take two months or more since skin changeover is so slow…
you are exactly right, it can take a few months to see. Does this irritate you at all? I've had lots of people asking me if they can layer serums..
@@TheBudgetDermatologist It’s not irritating at all and I have moderately sensitive skin.
