Its the same as thr original nivea cream, the only difference in the ingredients is the algue extract pr whatever they use in their range but other than that its the same
The "miracle broth" is nothing but sea kelp, vitamins and minerals, citrus oil, eucalyptus, sunflower, wheat germ, and alfalfa, all of which are fermented together. At least one spa worker said you can just use nivea and add something like a glycolic toner instead of buying la mer.

I'm in my 50s but you guys and James Welsh got me hooked on skincare. I've got a simple but consistent routine now and I really notice a difference. You're never too old to start taking care of your skin. Thank you for all you do.
@@nicolemaddison2945 thank you for the recommendations. I'm sure I've come across both these channels while doing my research.

Holy cow, guys. Thank you SO MUCH for being the first RUclips derms to not only recognize those of us with fragrance allergies, but also how fragrant ingredients like limonene, lemon peels, orange, lime, grapefruit, linalool, etc. also can be very sensitizing! At 20, I developed severe contact dermatitis with allergies to fragrance, citrus, peppermint, cinnamon, and lanolin, and BOY was it hard. So many derms forgot and would tell me to buy aquaphor products (often had lanolin in it that I was allergic to) so stopped trusting derms. I started researching myself and watching skincare experts online to study ingredients and build my own “safe” database because my own doctors weren’t helpful. Thank you for boosting my faith in derms again!
I just need to say as someone who wears hearing aids and has hearing loss, hearing damage and audio-processing disorder. Your Mics and all of your sound is absolutely AMAZING one of the clearest youtube channels to hear and understand, because sometimes the closed captions are definitely not what people are actually saying 😂 lol. Much Appreciated 💕
I really appreciate y’all being real about brands with way overpriced items. Thank you thank you. Skincare at any price point is an extra cost/luxury, and while I won’t be buying a $300 serum it’s hard to know if the products that are lower priced are good and I don’t want to waste $10-$50 on a product that won’t do anything. It’s so hard to tell whats real. So it’s really helpful to get real information!! Thank you x100000
Funny thing about La Mer. I looked at the ingredients, and the big ingredient is algae, which is great, however, they also added a preservative which, destroys….algae.
When algae is included in skincare products it is algae extract, not actual live algae. (In the La Mer product it is actually seaweed extract.) Algae requires sunlight and carbon dioxide to live.
Best decision of 2021 so far: having discovered this channel and binge watched every single video made by the cute docs and learning so much about skincare
Thank you so much for educating us on skincare, why we don't need certain products, AND recommending cheaper/better alternatives. I really appreciate videos like these where doctors are informing the public, even though they won't benefit from any sponsorships from skincare/beauty companies. Most of us inherently trust doctors since they are supposed to help us, not act as influencers that just push products (that are overpriced, ineffective, or even dangerous) for easy money. Thank you for not abusing that trust!
Thank you for speaking out about how ridiculously expensive a lot of skincare products are 🙏 I’m so sick of putting things back on the shelf because I refuse to pay that much! 😤
Yeah, and it hasn't been called Oil of Olay in years, either. It's simply Olay now. Anyway, I used their beauty fluid SPF 15 for years, then used their Total Effects creams (day and night moisturizers) until about a year ago. Best creams ever; the only ones that never clogged my pores.

The Ordinary + The Inkey List... there is zero need to spend $$$ on skin products. The Inkey List Cleansing Oat Balm is the best cleanser I've ever used.
Used to love ordinary but it took too much time. A LOT of Korean skincare is also affordable and amazing. Takes so much time for single ingredient product to sink in, vs something like Purito fermented complex which does it all; you only have 1 step, just 1 product to know being water or oil based, just waiting for 1 product to sink in, not needing to know ph.. this one can also double as a conductor for the FOREO bear/micro current devices Also stylevana and yes style have good-to-fantastic sales all the time
@@rimalrana1550 She basically said that by using Ordinary products it is going to take so much time for you to complete whole skincare routine since you have to apply multiple products separately, each product having single ingredients in it. Meanwhile you can buy something which has all of the ingredients in one product. Less time and cost effective
Extra virgin argan oil is my go-to. Amazon for 12 bucks and if you can get it in the pump and not the dropper it is easier to use. Soaks in almost immediately. I am 68 and my chest and neck have absolutely no wrinkles. I have been using argan oil for over 10 years. I read somewhere that they did a study and found that Nivea performed the same as LaMer. I love The Ordinary's products. My current fave serum is SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum. It is $295 but I have never had a product give results so quickly.
My dermatologist’s classic comments on skin care is “I don’t understand how some of these products are out there on the market. The ingredients are not making sense.”. I stopped buying expensive products that were causing me breakouts and start using products that he recommended safe for my oily, acne prone skin. Now I’m completely over acnes and my skin looks so much better, and I save a lot of money.

Thank you so much for confirming my bias about overpriced skincare! I really dislike getting sold to as a target demographic for xyz product at xyz price. Would love a video on peri-menopausal skincare because lord my skin!?
Nice haircut Dr. Maxfield! So happy to see this video! Going shopping with my daughter this week for skincare products so you may have saved me some cash. As always, thanks for your content!
Love that you are frank in your comments and recommendations and give reasoning. As a fellow doctor, I also love that you both refer to studies and actual data. Can your do a video on just face oils that you recommend and to avoid? Actual products…not individual oils. There are so many and it is hard to choose what is beneficial. Thanks!!!
I love so much this two together! How respect they have for each other, but how honest they are about products. I just start following them. Honestly I don’t know why didn’t see them before. I’m a junk for face products and I love how much information I get from them is amazing!!!!!
PCOS and related symptoms are treated with prescription medication which I think should be discussed with your own provider.I have pcos, low carb diet is a non pharmaceutical method that’s been suggested and I’ve tried and it does work decently. But birth control and other rx meds did the most work for me.
Take Vitamin C orally u’ll see skin change, PCOS acne is related to what you put in your body, ie. Sugar, milk, etc. Stop those and add Vitamin C 3000mg or 4000mg.
I used to apply tons of high end skincare and recently had some injury so all I applied was a basic moisturiser because i was all lazy, this not just made my skin all clear of acne but also fresh looking. I think we tend to make our skin overeat.
Exactly what happened for me during covid lockdown era. My multi step skincare routine went out the window and suddenly my acne / rosacea / excema all dissappeared
Gosh I just want to say how much I enjoy listening to you guys. Such thoughtful, logical, and practical information shared in such an easy to understand format. I have learned so much from you both. I love your channel SO MUCH. Thank you so much for the education. Took me 51 years to do much of anything for my skin (other than sunscreen). Please keep the videos coming. They’re fantastic!
I love these! I have such bad skin due to cystic acne and I have learned how to clear it with your videos. 😊 unfortunately I have scars (treatments are so expensive) so I just continue to keep my skin clear. Thank you, thank you and thank you! I wish I knew this when I was younger lol
for the hyaluronic acid, i use The Ordinary brand for only $6.80 and it definitely improved my skin. i never even knew that ANY brand would price something like that at $300…
I don't like ordinary hyaluronic acid it is toooooo liquidyy try mizon's little bit pricier but 10× better... Healed my irritated itchy neck within 2 days...
I use No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum. I get it at Target, costs me 24 dollars for big size. For 13 dollars I get the matching eye cream. Every two days I use their Pure Retinol. I’m 67 going on 68, and everyone thinks I look so much younger. I used to use Philosophy products, way to expensive for me to buy now.
You guys are so fun, and your content is so helpful. There are sooooo many skincare products out there; my head starts spinning every time I walk into Sephora or Target. Forever grateful for your help!
Thank u for ur public service! This is why this channel is beyond important! To debunk all these skincsre miths we come accross! Im starting now and i feel so relief to have such honest opinions about this!
Grape seed and Rosehip are actually 2 of the oils that I use when I’m making my own beard oils and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s changed the way my skin and beard feel.
Right? I use those two as scalp and hair end treatment oils before washing my hair. People ask me all the time how my hair is so good, and this includes hairdressers, too, who don't understand how my hair is so good. Hairdressers will never understand that not using eg. silicones on hair and using oils instead of conditioners just works. And is wayyy cheapers than conditioners etc.
I used to have my own bath and body line and made bath bombs and to be honest, the best binding oil that was great for the skin and was much lighter than other oils as wel as it tints well, mixes well with the dry ingredients and is just healthy overall.
I love cold moisturisers! They have a slight temporary anti inflammatory effect due to vasoconstriction! If you live in a really warm climate I’m Australian the beauty fridge when it’s 40 degrees Celsius outside it’s a nice addition!
I’m glad you’re letting us know what products are worth spending money on - I’m quite new to a good skincare routine so to know what to spend my money on is great xx
This video has ruled out all of the wishful skincare I wanted to try, you saved my wallet a lot of money, I’m going to buy the ordinary rosehip oil and cerave moisturisers instead! 🙌🏻
I been using La Mer for such a long time and recently I don’t find it working for me, my skin seem dull and dry regardless of how much of La Mer product I put. 4 days ago I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought Korean skin care products that these two reviewed. It’s only been 4 days but my skin looks way better. 1. Hydrated 2. Clearer 3. Softer 4 tighter 5 hydrated. My dark spots is almost faded now too. 2 cleansing product, toner, Vit-C, snail essence, serum and lanaige lip balm all together for 172€. I still have La Mer Moisturizer left so i want to finish it before getting diff moisturizer. 172€ is totally bargain!!!! In La Mer I can only get facial wash and lip balm. So, I am happy that I get to save over 1000€ for the stuff that I need. Thank you to these two’s.
@@nattyonice Many of us do have the money but due to having both common sense & scientific knowledge, would not buy into the hype of hugely expensive brands!
@@nattyonice Even if you do have money only an idiot would buy them. Something similar costing only 10% of the ridiculous amount and is actually less irritating to the skin, is not a better option?
a good vitamin c serum definitely needs to be refrigerated - my timeless vitamin c oxidizes after 3 months and it stays fresh for like 5-6 months in the fridge, and its an airless pump
@@weltenbummlerin632 in the beginning I used it every day because i was over enthusiastic with skincare but didn’t refrigerate it, so I just wanted to use it daily in attempt to finish the bottle before oxidation. I finished my bottle at 4.5mo and it started oxidizing at 3 mo, it was a light orange by the time I finished the bottle. My second bottle I didn’t use it that often and refrigerated it and it lasts like 6mo
@@unbiasly I see. I used my first bottle for face, neck and a bit on my chest area sometimes. It was empty after 5 or 6 weeks, so I didn‘t have any problems with oxidation. The serum stayed the same without fridge. If you use it for months, you certainly did the right thing.
I tried Vichy 89 and omg! I have oily skin and living in a place like Dubai is a total nightmare for my skin. This is the 4th day I'm applying vichy and my oiliness dropped significantly, I can actually spend 6 hours without any oil on my face. Which has never ever happened before ! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH ! You have no idea how grateful I am..
omg forget about the content, I listened to that with half an ear.. these guys' camaraderie is something else! it's playful and sweet, I totally feel relaxed listening to this. cheers!
I use a $29 fridge, holds an emergency Coke, a snack, AM eye cream and some sheet masks. My office is upstairs and it saves me a trip downstairs when I'm hungry and sheet masks and AM eyecream just feel better to me. 30 bucks was a bit hard but ended up worth it to me
I also have a mini fridge in my room. I use a retinol from the ordinary that says on the label to keep in the fridge. I also love the feeling of cool moisturizer. But like you said I’ve wasted $30 on way worse.
I recently started my new skin journey after finding you guys, your short on Target skin care changed the game for me at 32. I've already learned so much from catching up, thank you for what you do!🤗
A few solid recommendations ( also my own skin care routine ) : Tizo2 physical sunscreen ( also works as a great primer !! ) Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist as toner, Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum for day time, Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum for night time, Kosmea Rose hip oil. All very affordable and extremely effective. My skin has never been so smooth and glowing.
"If it's not in the fridge where you bought it, it doesn't need to be in the fridge at home". Mayonnaise. Products which, as they said, have no preservatives or are not shelf stable ONCE OPENED, should probably be refridgerated.
Been saying for years that La Mer is all hype and gullible customers are paying for the brand/marketing not the ingredients. I'm a cosmetic chemist and glad to see dermatologists agree too!
I just adore these two Doctors, they must have so many laughs in their office, You can tell they really like each other so much!!! I love watching them and love when they critique products!!!
Re: minifridge, skincare products are formulated to be left out at room temp (that's what the preservatives are for). As for vitamin c, make sure it's in an opaque container. If you don't like HA, you can use glycerin, beta glucan or polyglutamic acid.
This is great info! Unfortunately I'm someone who tends to back slide into your'e getting better product because of the $$ you spend. And they can be clever in their adds that I think draws people in. Theres definitely that middle ground that offers a great product, good skin is important, but so is paying your bills, and having food to eat.
I remember reading about this one cream many years ago that supposedly all the celebrities were using. That cream was La Mer. At that time only high end stores like Barney's carried it, I believe. Now I see it at Sephora for 300 plus dollars and I can't believe anyone would actually believe that it contains anything worth that price tag. Or that it will have some miracle effect on the skin. The Skincare industry is such a rip off.
The irony is that celebs spend shitloads of money on La Mer (think about how many thousands of dollars they're spending every year just on that basic af moisturizer!!), only to say that they use La Mer. I've found some amazing skincare brands at Target (Naturium, Versed, and Ferver) that usually run about $15-$25 per product, and they actually have some cool ingredients. They are also vegan and cruelty-free. I'd much rather use my cheaper skincare than buy something stupidly expensive like La Mer (and I say that as someone who used to buy stupid expensive "clean" beauty products).
I've worked in the industry and yes all of it is a lie lie lie. Get yourself prescription strength Retin A and a gentle cleanser and save yourself thousands upon thousands of dollars throughout your lifetime. You'll have ageless clear skin well into your 50's.
Love the advice and the way you two work together! The positivity is just radiating from you two and really makes it enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
Hello. I am happy to have discovered you two. I appreciate the unbiased feedback. Even more, I like saving a few coins. I am currently using LaMer and cannot see what the hype is about. Olay worked just as well (if not better) for my aging skin. I will try the thicker moisturizer that was mentioned.
Skin Fridges: As long as I can remember my mum has always stored all of her makeup and skincare in our kitchen fridge in the door compartments 😂 and I’ve followed to do the same

Please make a video on supplements- like collagen and omega 3 fatty acids, etc.
It’s so soothing to hear you both.Going through a tough time, appreciate your videos.
Hang in there😊🌹
If I'm putting a fridge in the bathroom, it's going to have beer in it.

This video is a breath of fresh air! Thank you, Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield.
Thank you so much for confirming my bias about overpriced skincare! I really dislike getting sold to as a target demographic for xyz product at xyz price. Would love a video on peri-menopausal skincare because lord my skin!?
Nice haircut Dr. Maxfield!
So happy to see this video! Going shopping with my daughter this week for skincare products so you may have saved me some cash. As always, thanks for your content!
Love that you are frank in your comments and recommendations and give reasoning. As a fellow doctor, I also love that you both refer to studies and actual data. Can your do a video on just face oils that you recommend and to avoid? Actual products…not individual oils. There are so many and it is hard to choose what is beneficial.
Thanks!!!
I love so much this two together! How respect they have for each other, but how honest they are about products. I just start following them. Honestly I don’t know why didn’t see them before. I’m a junk for face products and I love how much information I get from them is amazing!!!!!
They are definitely a cute couple.
Please talk about Acne related to PCOS and how to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
In the meantime, checkout a video by Dr Davin Lim, PCOS and skin and he has one on PIH as well as a few other derms.
PCOS and related symptoms are treated with prescription medication which I think should be discussed with your own provider.I have pcos, low carb diet is a non pharmaceutical method that’s been suggested and I’ve tried and it does work decently. But birth control and other rx meds did the most work for me.
spironolactone saved my skin
@@iEatBellocan really? I’ve been taking it a year and it hasn’t really helped
Take Vitamin C orally u’ll see skin change, PCOS acne is related to what you put in your body, ie. Sugar, milk, etc. Stop those and add Vitamin C 3000mg or 4000mg.
You guys are not rusty at all! It’s refreshing to see doctors perspective on hyped up products that are not worth it! Great video
Thank you for keeping it real and helping us ladies and gentlemen not to over pay.
I used to apply tons of high end skincare and recently had some injury so all I applied was a basic moisturiser because i was all lazy, this not just made my skin all clear of acne but also fresh looking. I think we tend to make our skin overeat.
what moisturizer did you use?
What skin issues do you have and what's your skin type?
Great point
.
Exactly what happened for me during covid lockdown era. My multi step skincare routine went out the window and suddenly my acne / rosacea / excema all dissappeared
So insightful! I've started referring to you guys are the Daddies of Dermatology. The parental figures of skincare.
Love all your videos btw!
Gosh I just want to say how much I enjoy listening to you guys. Such thoughtful, logical, and practical information shared in such an easy to understand format. I have learned so much from you both. I love your channel SO MUCH. Thank you so much for the education. Took me 51 years to do much of anything for my skin (other than sunscreen). Please keep the videos coming. They’re fantastic!
Their energy is amazing ! Love the skincare knowledge along with good humor 😂
I love these! I have such bad skin due to cystic acne and I have learned how to clear it with your videos. 😊 unfortunately I have scars (treatments are so expensive) so I just continue to keep my skin clear. Thank you, thank you and thank you! I wish I knew this when I was younger lol
same here after 15 years of acne my skins is finally clearing
May I ask what you used/did?
@@nikitadcruz7524 I've been using cera ve hydrating face wash and moisturizer and the Paula's choice bha and those three products have changed my skin
Love that they don’t just talk about expensive skin care but mostly all of what they talk about and use themselves is affordable 💕
Would love to watch a video addressing vitamins that help skincare: (hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, lymph and blood drain etc etc)
for the hyaluronic acid, i use The Ordinary brand for only $6.80 and it definitely improved my skin. i never even knew that ANY brand would price something like that at $300…
I'm wondering why they didn't mention The Ordinary, because they must know that it's a super popular one!
now I’m curious what its molecular weight is 😂
I use the Timeless Beauty and buy when they have a 40% off sale. Their 100% pure hyaluronic acid is less than $10 when you use those sales.
I don't like ordinary hyaluronic acid it is toooooo liquidyy try mizon's little bit pricier but 10× better... Healed my irritated itchy neck within 2 days...
The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid is good and cheap too, and it's also Dr. Dray approved;)
Two attractive people teaching me about skincare? I'm ok with this.
They are both adorable…. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️
We are not the target market please, what will Jlo wear if there isnt a 500$ moisturiser
When a brand starts selling stories instead of products, you know there is a trap.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Welcome to marketing !!! And 2021 lol
Cough *LUSH* cough
@Corinne, la multipassionnée At the end of the day, it comes down to the ingredients list/the formula regardless of marketing or lack of.
All successful brands do that 😁
Them: use this $50 thing
Me: taking a full 10 minutes to decide whether to buy a $7 moisturizer or if it’s too expensive
Isn’t that about it. 😂
Hahaha, yess 😂
50 bucks is groceries or gas
That's me!
Preach
I use No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum. I get it at Target, costs me 24 dollars for big size. For 13 dollars I get the matching eye cream. Every two days I use their Pure Retinol. I’m 67 going on 68, and everyone thinks I look so much younger. I used to use Philosophy products, way to expensive for me to buy now.
“Nimbus 3000” of Hylaurnic acid! 😂
I love you guys, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!
I love these guys. They are just so cute and their chemistry is through the roof.
You guys are so fun, and your content is so helpful. There are sooooo many skincare products out there; my head starts spinning every time I walk into Sephora or Target. Forever grateful for your help!
Thank u for ur public service! This is why this channel is beyond important! To debunk all these skincsre miths we come accross! Im starting now and i feel so relief to have such honest opinions about this!
Grape seed and Rosehip are actually 2 of the oils that I use when I’m making my own beard oils and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s changed the way my skin and beard feel.
Good for you! 🌺
Right? I use those two as scalp and hair end treatment oils before washing my hair. People ask me all the time how my hair is so good, and this includes hairdressers, too, who don't understand how my hair is so good. Hairdressers will never understand that not using eg. silicones on hair and using oils instead of conditioners just works. And is wayyy cheapers than conditioners etc.
I would also add cold pressed pomegranate oil to the list of good oils. It’s helped heal my acne and clear my skin SO WELL!
I actually put it on my face hope I don't grow a beard
I used to have my own bath and body line and made bath bombs and to be honest, the best binding oil that was great for the skin and was much lighter than other oils as wel as it tints well, mixes well with the dry ingredients and is just healthy overall.
I love cold moisturisers! They have a slight temporary anti inflammatory effect due to vasoconstriction! If you live in a really warm climate I’m Australian the beauty fridge when it’s 40 degrees Celsius outside it’s a nice addition!
Agreed! I hate applying warm toner
I live in the tropics and indeed I like keeping some of my skincare products in the fridge too.
😍😍😍 You guys are just the right amount of wholesome I needed today. Keep giving that awesome advice!
Thank you Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield. My two faves 😍
I’m glad you’re letting us know what products are worth spending money on - I’m quite new to a good skincare routine so to know what to spend my money on is great xx
I don’t care that you’re inconsistent, I would live and die for this channel 😩💕😭🤩
Same here 🤙🏻🥰
This video has ruled out all of the wishful skincare I wanted to try, you saved my wallet a lot of money, I’m going to buy the ordinary rosehip oil and cerave moisturisers instead! 🙌🏻
Lol.
I tried a rose hip oil from Bulgaria and it was great. It should be used sparingly.
I use them both.....love them. The Rose Hip oil is the best.
I live for Cerave! I have acne & it's perfect for my oily senstive skin. Also affordable!
I love the oils from ordinary!
I been using La Mer for such a long time and recently I don’t find it working for me, my skin seem dull and dry regardless of how much of La Mer product I put. 4 days ago I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought Korean skin care products that these two reviewed. It’s only been 4 days but my skin looks way better. 1. Hydrated 2. Clearer 3. Softer 4 tighter 5 hydrated. My dark spots is almost faded now too. 2 cleansing product, toner, Vit-C, snail essence, serum and lanaige lip balm all together for 172€. I still have La Mer Moisturizer left so i want to finish it before getting diff moisturizer. 172€ is totally bargain!!!! In La Mer I can only get facial wash and lip balm. So, I am happy that I get to save over 1000€ for the stuff that I need. Thank you to these two’s.
La Prairie product prices are ridiculous along with Le Mer and Dr. Sturm. It’s just stupid.
You don’t have money x
@@nattyonice Many of us do have the money but due to having both common sense & scientific knowledge, would not buy into the hype of hugely expensive brands!
I think the expensive ones are worth it. Sorry
@Zac Atkinson troll
@@nattyonice Even if you do have money only an idiot would buy them. Something similar costing only 10% of the ridiculous amount and is actually less irritating to the skin, is not a better option?
a good vitamin c serum definitely needs to be refrigerated - my timeless vitamin c oxidizes after 3 months and it stays fresh for like 5-6 months in the fridge, and its an airless pump
But if it lasts you three months, you are not using it every day, right? I am still on my first bottle but estimated it‘ll last me 6 weeks….
I run through Timeless every two months and I don't use it every day. It does not last 5 months.
@@weltenbummlerin632 in the beginning I used it every day because i was over enthusiastic with skincare but didn’t refrigerate it, so I just wanted to use it daily in attempt to finish the bottle before oxidation. I finished my bottle at 4.5mo and it started oxidizing at 3 mo, it was a light orange by the time I finished the bottle. My second bottle I didn’t use it that often and refrigerated it and it lasts like 6mo
I keep mine in the fridge too. It's made it hard to remember to use it routinely. I'm doing better as of late, but I'm so out of sight out of mind....
@@unbiasly I see. I used my first bottle for face, neck and a bit on my chest area sometimes. It was empty after 5 or 6 weeks, so I didn‘t have any problems with oxidation. The serum stayed the same without fridge. If you use it for months, you certainly did the right thing.
I tried Vichy 89 and omg! I have oily skin and living in a place like Dubai is a total nightmare for my skin. This is the 4th day I'm applying vichy and my oiliness dropped significantly, I can actually spend 6 hours without any oil on my face. Which has never ever happened before ! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH ! You have no idea how grateful I am..
Question to Dr. SHAH, can you please walk us through your skin care routine, your skin looks amazing!!!
and for doc maxfield as well 😍🥰
I love that you're calling out expensive products and how they're not necessary :X. There's skincare available for all budgets!
Indeed, I want to simplify my skin care routine. Thank you!
LaRoche Posay was actually sold in our office in 2000! I still love the products!
Upload when you can, please don’t get burned out. We need you 💘
omg forget about the content, I listened to that with half an ear.. these guys' camaraderie is something else! it's playful and sweet, I totally feel relaxed listening to this. cheers!
I just like putting my skincare in the fridge because it feels good. I live in a hot climate. Very informative video!
I use a $29 fridge, holds an emergency Coke, a snack, AM eye cream and some sheet masks. My office is upstairs and it saves me a trip downstairs when I'm hungry and sheet masks and AM eyecream just feel better to me. 30 bucks was a bit hard but ended up worth it to me
Which fridge? That’s a great idea actually. You save more in the end. Love how it’s number one on the list. 🤣😂 I don’t need it, but I want it. 🙃
I also have a mini fridge in my room. I use a retinol from the ordinary that says on the label to keep in the fridge. I also love the feeling of cool moisturizer. But like you said I’ve wasted $30 on way worse.
I can’t think of any situation where an emergency Coke is actually the best option.
You both seem like the effects of gummies are just kicking in! LOVE your posts!
I recently started my new skin journey after finding you guys, your short on Target skin care changed the game for me at 32. I've already learned so much from catching up, thank you for what you do!🤗
I have used avenoo and neutrogena for 15 years...u saw the target short and tweaked my skin care...Love it!
The target knock off of proactive has been the only thing that has saved my skin from bad acne breakouts. Highly recommend lol
A few solid recommendations ( also my own skin care routine ) : Tizo2 physical sunscreen ( also works as a great primer !! ) Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist as toner, Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum for day time, Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum for night time, Kosmea Rose hip oil. All very affordable and extremely effective. My skin has never been so smooth and glowing.
"If it's not in the fridge where you bought it, it doesn't need to be in the fridge at home". Mayonnaise. Products which, as they said, have no preservatives or are not shelf stable ONCE OPENED, should probably be refridgerated.
He immediately followed the comment by saying the exception is if the packaging says "refrigerate after opening." So, mayonnaise.
I want someone to look at me the way Dr. Maxfield looks at Dr. Shah
Ikr!👀
Facts! 🤭
Yes!
They look like best buddies
Ohh me too!
I’m happy that I saw this. I’m relieved that the type of products I use on my face are approved by you guys, so I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. 😊
So helpful! I spend so much $ on skincare. $50 sunscreen
$50 moisturizer
$50 serums
So I’m ready to use quality products & save some $
Been saying for years that La Mer is all hype and gullible customers are paying for the brand/marketing not the ingredients. I'm a cosmetic chemist and glad to see dermatologists agree too!
You should start your own channel!
I love cosmetic chem! You should make a channel
I just adore these two Doctors, they must have so many laughs in their office, You can tell they really like each other so much!!! I love watching them and love when they critique products!!!
My mom has always said La Mer is garbage and that the price point is highway robbery!
Really love the positive energy you guys exude...always smiling...it's so refreshing to see u both
Re: minifridge, skincare products are formulated to be left out at room temp (that's what the preservatives are for). As for vitamin c, make sure it's in an opaque container. If you don't like HA, you can use glycerin, beta glucan or polyglutamic acid.
Would love to see y’all review procedures! Thermage, ultherapy etc
Love you guys, I'm a skincare professional and I couldn't agree with you more.
I haven’t heard a word these two have said, they’re too handsome.!
I having trouble understanding what they’re saying 😂😂🤣🤣
This is great info! Unfortunately I'm someone who tends to back slide into your'e getting better product because of the $$ you spend. And they can be clever in their adds that I think draws people in. Theres definitely that middle ground that offers a great product, good skin is important, but so is paying your bills, and having food to eat.
I really like Paula’s Choice skin care. Effective and affordable. I’ve been using this line for years and really happy with the results. Subscribed✅
Same! Love Paula’s Choice.
First time watcher, instantly subscribed. Love how it's uplifting and educational, straight to the point.
I remember reading about this one cream many years ago that supposedly all the celebrities were using. That cream was La Mer. At that time only high end stores like Barney's carried it, I believe. Now I see it at Sephora for 300 plus dollars and I can't believe anyone would actually believe that it contains anything worth that price tag. Or that it will have some miracle effect on the skin. The Skincare industry is such a rip off.
The irony is that celebs spend shitloads of money on La Mer (think about how many thousands of dollars they're spending every year just on that basic af moisturizer!!), only to say that they use La Mer. I've found some amazing skincare brands at Target (Naturium, Versed, and Ferver) that usually run about $15-$25 per product, and they actually have some cool ingredients. They are also vegan and cruelty-free. I'd much rather use my cheaper skincare than buy something stupidly expensive like La Mer (and I say that as someone who used to buy stupid expensive "clean" beauty products).
@@ladycaticorn2950 Just because some “celebrity” is pimping a product doesn’t mean they use it.
CAnt do what a $10 tube of Retin A or tretinoin used regularly can do.
@@tundrawomansays694 Sure, but some of them probably do, which is pretty dumb.
I've worked in the industry and yes all of it is a lie lie lie. Get yourself prescription strength Retin A and a gentle cleanser and save yourself thousands upon thousands of dollars throughout your lifetime. You'll have ageless clear skin well into your 50's.
Love the advice and the way you two work together! The positivity is just radiating from you two and really makes it enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
I’m so glad I found your blog. I’m all ears 👂 when it comes to skin care products I have fair and sensitive skin prone to skin cancer.
I’m curious to hear what you guys think of snail mucin in skincare 🐌👀
Awesome information and clear delivery. ❤❤❤❤ Appreciate so much.
Hello. I am happy to have discovered you two. I appreciate the unbiased feedback. Even more, I like saving a few coins. I am currently using LaMer and cannot see what the hype is about. Olay worked just as well (if not better) for my aging skin. I will try the thicker moisturizer that was mentioned.
I love the Vichy mineral 89 for the summer when my skin gets super oily because I can just use that and then my sunscreen 😊
I am addicted watching all your videos…thanks a lot for giving us these information…regards from Indonesia
Skin Fridges: As long as I can remember my mum has always stored all of her makeup and skincare in our kitchen fridge in the door compartments 😂 and I’ve followed to do the same
Never done it, nor do I know anyone who does it.
if it works and you got the space, why not? lol i guess don't put it near some smelly things.
That's where I keep my moisturizer and eye patches, also my face roller
Thank you for your expertize on the do's and don'ts concerning our skin at all ages.
Greatly appreciated 💖
Just found this channel and am really impressed AND appreciative of your candid views on overpriced skincare products. I took lots of notes and will make some changes to compare. Many thanks!!
I love how pretty much 90% of the video is just Dr. Maxfield looking at Dr. Shah like “why are you like this” hilarious 😂
Hahahaha 🤣 legit.
It's really noticeable isn't? Hahahaha.
He's holding back lest his sponsorships...
IKR. Dr, Maxfield looks uncomfortable in front of the camera. Camera shy lol. Great contents and honest opinion, thank you both.
