I find it very kind and generous of you sharing all of these interesting infos when another doctor would charge an arm and leg for. Been binge viewing all of your videos since I found out about your channel couple of days ago. It's so very informative yet underrated :( you should have a lot more views and subscribers. sure you'll get there one day. Plz keep those videos coming :)
AHA and Retin-A two game changers in topical skincare. My skin is bright tight and wrinkle free (almost) I'm 48 my skin still looks 38. People never guess my age, people are always shocked when I say my age ,they always think I'm in my 30's. I do have great genetics my 97 yr old grandma barely has a wrinkle it's amazing. I've been a skincare junkie since I was 20 and stay out of the direct sun. It all plays a part in having good skin.
I am line free too and people are shocked by my age as well. The two biggest reasons are genes and staying out of the sun. A good skin care routine is important, but you can't overcome sun damage with creams and serums. I use retina a as a preventative, but I have only worked up to every other day use. My skin rebels when I use it every day, so I don't know how much it's doing for me. I love the new S. Korean face masks that are everywhere now. They are aawesome and I use two a week. I also like red light therapy. It makes your skin radiant. By the way, I have dry skin and it hasn't made any difference in aging. A lot of people think dry skin ages faster, but it isn't true.
I never comment on any videos in youtube. I cannot help myself but saying that your videos are by far the best i have seen on the skin care topic. i actually keep notes every time i watch your video. you changed my skincare choices! thank you!
Wow! Amazing video- thank you. Okay- I need to know more about DNA repair enzymes?!!! Why is no one talking about this? Can you please educate us further on this topic? I can feel my beauty routine is about to grow.
Enjoyed this topic Dr Sarah. This information resonates well with the current Vloggers. Thank you for giving me the nudge to have a look at my skincare ritual.
I think I have temporary brain freeze and need to learn to play the mandolin to get my mind working ;) Thank you very much indeed for this presentation, which was stellar. I still think I will get referred to a determatologist who can confirm the efficacy of the products I may choose (the fewer the better). In the evening I use a popular Amazon promoted serum containing Hyaluronic acid and vits \c and e on wet skin; wait 10 minutes and use another french product touted as reducing redness; dog and cat so HEPA filter in bedroom with minor humidifying function. AM sunscreen; recommended by hospital pharmacy seems to contain everything you stipulate in layer 1. So I think 1 and 2 are sort of covered; retinoids and peptides are another subject. Getting there and thank you again for deconstructing the glamour of skin care products!!! Very much appreciated indeed!
Video suggestion- yes another, pardon my boldness! The topic of melasma & how to make strides in improving it over time. Spf & pigment inhibitors, acids, treatments, retinoids, etc.. Thank you for all of your generous knowledge!
Great video! Finally someone you suggests a "pyramid" to direct people's choice. because we should use different products, can you suggest a "schedule". For example, "put this as first thing in the morning. Put that in the afternoon. You can use this and that tighter" etc. Thanks
Raffaele Corrente sure yes! Please note though this is only if you have skin like mine and is very very basic, and if you have eczema or skin barrier function problems then this isn’t for you! AM Cleanse Tone Vitamin C Acids SPF PM cleanse Tone Retinol Peptides Stem cells Hope that helps!
Dr sarah... a) If I have PRP, do I need peptides/stem cells? b) wich kind of acid in the morning? hyaluronic? I always use acids (trotinoine and AHA) at night, because I heard that I should avoid sun exposure the hours immediately following the application. I have a mixed skin (my forehead is greasy, my cheeks are dry!)...which kind of toner should I use?
New to skin care and want to keep things basic (but don’t want to waste product) is it ok if I don’t tone after cleansing ? (Using a gentle non striping cleanser)
FANTASTIC AS USUAL!!!! I love how well you explain everything so well, without dumbing it down …. Shows respect for your Subscribers! So THANKS AGAIN! :)
I'm not familiar with DNA repair enzymes. Could you please list the ingredient name to look for or a few product names? I cant get what is said in the video. Thank you.
Very informative video and I thank you for it. I do hope you will create another video explaining how to use, and in what sequence to use, these products you spoke about.
6 years later and I still come back to this video EVERY time I need to redo my skincare routine. No one else has ever been able to explain to me how to build a routine properly (and most are just trying to sell you products or get tiktok views).
I just love that I’ve somehow found your Chanel, I’ve never got anything done but if I have to it would have to be by you. I love how comfortable you make it feel about the procedures and the skin care. And you’re beautiful :)
I use Obaji medical grade skincare including tretinoin. My skin looks incredible. Been on it for 2 years and my skin has been transformed. Also sunblock Factor 50 La Roche Posey is the best !
sarahjuliana17 it is a line of beauty products that has became very popular because it is very cheap and very effective, main brand is Deciem that used to belong to Brandon Truxae (dead recently)
PRETTY PLEASE, a humble request for a deep dive on DNA 🧬 repair enzymes, like Plankton in skincare. What ingredients to look for. Actual product recommendations, where the repair enzyme is very high on the inci list. Believe it or not Paris Hilton has a skincare line, imagine the chemists she has access to & with her longtime interest & enthusiasm in skincare , tech & chemistry its not that surprising really. I noticed that almost all of her products have some form of DNA repair enzyme within the formulations, particularly stood out to me was the serum with the plankton being approximately 3rd on the ingredient deck. Looks quite promising, would like your thoughts very much , thank you. Stay well!
Great video, thanks for posting. Would just like to note Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) is not the same as Hyaluronic Acid but it sounds like you're referring to both in the middle tier of the pyramid.
Dear Sarah, thank you for this amazing videos. Could you PLEASE do a video about "DNA repair enzymes" . It seems to be a very important topic but there is SO little informations about it around, and I would not know which one to buy . THANKSSSS
Thank you for making a video about this! I can find skincare to be quite exhausting sometimes (knowing what to use and when to use it , and so on...) :( But I have to ask : what about BHAs ? Yes or no? I use the Paulas choice BHA liquid exfoliator. Thanks!
I've been looking for products with dna repair enzymes - only found one product. Can you give us some suggestions? Thank you for all the advice, love your videos!
Hi! Lovely to meet you the other week! Can you give a product you recommend for DNA repair? I have DSAP and wondered if this would be good to help protect and treat? Charmian
Sarah, I suffer from mostly dry skin, with some lightly oily areas. My forehead, temples, and side pads of my nose/under eyes flake all the time and get very dry. Weirdly i also get very dry and flakey in my mustache area and basically anywhere where there is facial hair. I also get very dry skin in my eyebrows. I’ve used tons of moisturizers and it seems the best brand that works for me is Garnier. I still tend to get dry flakey skin, so my results aren’t perfect but they are better. Any thoughts or opinions on this specific brand? Also I’ve tried multiple exfoliates and even after exfoliating I still have flakey skin that just doesn’t seem to go away. Any tips or suggestions? I’m desperate and I’m not sure what other brands to try or products to purchase. Thank you 💛
Hi Sarah, I found a video on the pyramid yay! I was just wondering about what you thought of the new Paula's choice peptide booster? I cant use a copper peptide as I have pyrole disorder so my copper levels are through the roof. Could you recommend a peptide serum with matrixyl if not Paula's choice? Also is the medik8 tetra C a good vitamin C ? I'm having trouble with L Ascorbic ones as they seem to sting and I have a sneaking suspicion it's also making the capillaries on my cheek get worse. One more the ,about growth factors. Is that the same as stem cell factors? I have Osmosis stem cell serum,is that a good one sorry for all the questions. I'm loving getting to finally watch your videos. 💖💖
Natalie Brenk phew I missed this comment! I like the copper peptides as a concept, I think it’s quite interesting. Not enough for me to throw away my vitamin c and retinol quite yet though! There are LOADS of products that contain Matrixyl, I’m using it right now in a retinol from Alumier! The Medik8 range is very good yes. Growth factors and stem cells are not the same no. So stem cells are actual cells and can be differentiated into any type of cell in the future and growth factors are just like signalling chemicals. I do feel like the terms are used pretty interchangeably in general though
Hello 😊 I was wondering what do you think of collagen etc.. that comes in pills is it beneficial ? And is it more beneficial than topical skincare ? Because I tried taking my approach more towards pills than topical and I do feel I’ve seen a better difference in my skin but I am asking for the long run ? Thank you
Suggestion: perhaps a caption of ingredients or terms mentioned. Some are easily understood ("vitamin C") and/or have been around long enough that we are familiar with the word ("Retinoids"). Some, not so much! When you mention DNA Repair Enzymes (7:00), I can't for the life of me catch what comes tripping off your tongue, Dr. Tonks, despite slowing playback speed down, 50% and I also can't determine if you're listing a category of enzymes or a specific one/ingredient. Thanks for your consideration of this suggestion.
Don't most sunscreens act like a moisturizer, so if we wear loads of sunscreen, then we are getting this negative effect of skin not making it's own moisture anymore.. Thoughts on this?
Thanks so much for this great video Doc! I'm in my mid 20s and recently started a preventative anti-aging skincare routine. I'm using everything you mentioned except DNA Repair Enzymes and Growth Factors. I can't afford Growth Factors, but I could afford DNA Repair Enzymes. My question is, are DNA Repair Enzymes necessary if you don't have any sun damage (I've lived in a cold, sunless country my whole life) and use SPF every day? Or are they still useful because of the effects they have on telomeres?
This is really insightful. However, I currently only cleanse, moisturise and use AHA and hyaluronic acid. Could you please do a skin pyramid for low, medium and high budgets. Please please please!!!
Great info but I’m wondering what order to put all three layers of the pyramid on. I’m assuming vit c and sunscreen last, but what about a peptide moisturizer, and an AHA exfoliant. Should the leave on aha/bha be before or after peptides, and does it matter if the peptides are in a serum or cream form Thanks
So I'm guessing you don't recommend occlusive moisturizers at all for people with normal skin? For those with compromised skin barriers, how long should they continue to use occlusives? Is there a tell tale sign that your skin barrier has been repaired?
Gardenia in bloom usually goes away after a couple of weeks- there are some retinoids with hydrating products in them like Alumier retinol which I really like
Thank you so much for your educational’s! Question, can you discuss your favorite peptides? Discuss copper peptide? The Ordinary now has a Copper plus Matrixyl combination. I’m really enjoying your educational’s.
Tina Hu of course! I will definitely do a video about peptides although it won’t be for a few weeks or so because a lot of this content is recorded in advance. But I promise I will do one!!!! I just bought a copper containing product too so I have to try that before I talk about it!
what is the benefits of the copper. I am getting a bit jowley and porelss around my mouth now. Doc would this work. I just look so drawn and dried out but do all the sunscreens and vit c and retin a.buffet ,hyrolic 2 per cent, arbutin and niacinamide.can you name a good peptide also. I'm just not benefiting now.Thank you
What do you recommend as an alternative to hyaluronic acid in dry climates? I've learned that these can actually do the opposite if you live in a desert like environment (I live in South West, USA) Thanks!
You can buy DNA repair enzymes in skin products?! Holy shit that is like the best combination of my nerdiness for biomedicine and also beauty products! I need this in my life !!
Dear Dr Tonks, I have a severe rosacea condition. Does any of this apply to me or should I only focus on using medicine against treating the condition? Thank you for your channel x
Hi Sarah another informative video. Love your before and afters by the way, but please could you have your model face the camera in the same pose as the after pictures so we can really appreciate the subtle enhancements your craftsmanship has created. :-)
My absolute all time favourite has to be Skinceuticals' CE ferrulic serum, but it's a bit pricey! If you're on a budget, The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% is effective, but the texture is a little odd. You might also want to look into Vichy's LiftActiv Vitamin C serum. Hope that helps!
I@@DrSarahTonks On my vitamin C (Mario Badescu) it says to use it at night, not in the morning. You had mentioned in another reply to use in the AM, so I am confused. thank you
You are so fabulous. You should have your own TV show. Especially love the celeb critiques. you mention telomere length. Do you plan to also venture into other anti ageing treatments such as Bio identical HRT, or growth hormone treatments etc? Ie; if we can slow down the ageing process then we won't lose so much volume, collagen etc?
Mary Hanover thank you!! Yes I do but I don’t offer it at the clinic. I’m starting a Masters at George Washington in Integrate Medicine in January and I’m involved in a metabolic endocrinology fellowship right now in the US. I was thinking to maybe set up another channel for all the stuff but there are only so many hours in the day!! I don’t know though, do you think it would be interesting?
Yes, I personally find all the integrated anti ageing medicine interesting. I've seen some pretty radical doctors speak at The Anti Ageing Conference like Dr. Thierry Hertoghe www.hertoghe.eu/en/ who basically uses himself as a guinea pig taking growth hormones, cortisol, testosterone...you name it! (I went a few years ago to research a TV doc) And I think they are ahead of the game in the US compared to here in the UK. But like you say, only so many hours in a day and you can't spread yourself too thin! As for a TV series I absolutely love love hearing you review the celebs and the work they've had done from the comfort of your sofa! It's better than a dose of Hello Magazine with a sprinkling of goggle box! 👍@@DrSarahTonks
@@DrSarahTonks Thanks for your time . I really think balance would just make the overall aesthetic more pleasing . Your patients are very lucky to have found such a conscientious and knowledgeable doctor such as yourself.
Dr Sarah... I've added benzac to my skink care routine because few but big and deep pimples. I'm using BP in the morning and retain a at night but BP in the morning is a mess... BP is a free radical, increases wrinkles and worsen skin appearance, so I try to use it only where I have pimples (cheek bones and temple). The problem is when I put other creams and I use Sunscreen, BO spreads all over my face! this is why I would use it at night but I read some researches showing that BO deactivates TRETINOINE, How long should I wait from BP application before using TRETINOINE? Sorry if I'm bothering you, but I spent hours on pubmed and I can't find anything! Some people say to wait three hours but can't bring any data to support this statement. Can you help me please?
Raffaele Corrente have you seen this? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2958193/ It lists a few trials in which certain formulations are more resistant to degradation than others. Use of tretinoin 0.1% microsphere gel or adapalene with BPO has been shown to minimise the potential degradation of the retinoid it says. Hope that helps!
Dr Sarah, Thanks for reply. Yes, I read that paper. My problem is that in Italy, where I live, I can't find any product like that. All the brands products are something like "a pomade" :(
I'm very sceptical about the need of Dna repair enzyme. Especially because the issue with the lengths of telomeres, after a long period of scientific consensus, has been proven to be a myth
Gigi Friedman stem cell isn’t like fat transfer- so you need to transfer the fat instead of extracting the stem cells. Can do a large areas with fat more cost effectively but not as accurate

My question is, are DNA Repair Enzymes necessary if you don't have any sun damage (I've lived in a cold, sunless country my whole life) and use SPF every day? Or are they still useful because of the effects they have on telomeres?
I dont think it would be at the top of my skincare list by any means
@@DrSarahTonks thank you!
This is really insightful. However, I currently only cleanse, moisturise and use AHA and hyaluronic acid. Could you please do a skin pyramid for low, medium and high budgets. Please please please!!!
Which AHA & hyaluronic acid products do you use??
Great info but I’m wondering what order to put all three layers of the pyramid on. I’m assuming vit c and sunscreen last, but what about a peptide moisturizer, and an AHA exfoliant. Should the leave on aha/bha be before or after peptides, and does it matter if the peptides are in a serum or cream form
Thanks
md w ok so you generally go from thin to thick. Vitamin c, any other serum, then any cream products then sunscreen. Simple!
Also what do you think of the Dior city defense cream ? I have been using it a while and it claims to protect against everything 🤔
So I'm guessing you don't recommend occlusive moisturizers at all for people with normal skin? For those with compromised skin barriers, how long should they continue to use occlusives? Is there a tell tale sign that your skin barrier has been repaired?
Fellow RUclipsr here and new sub, love your videos!
Wait are you saying we don't need to moisturise? Whoohee! But what if your skin feels tight after washing?
Gardenia in bloom usually goes away after a couple of weeks- there are some retinoids with hydrating products in them like Alumier retinol which I really like
What kind of bees are the B-vitamins made from?

Thank you so much for your educational’s! Question, can you discuss your favorite peptides? Discuss copper peptide? The Ordinary now has a Copper plus Matrixyl combination. I’m really enjoying your educational’s.
Tina Hu of course! I will definitely do a video about peptides although it won’t be for a few weeks or so because a lot of this content is recorded in advance. But I promise I will do one!!!! I just bought a copper containing product too so I have to try that before I talk about it!
Dr Sarah Tonks thank you so much! I am really enjoying your informative channel. Best wishes.
Tina Hu thanks so much!
what is the benefits of the copper. I am getting a bit jowley and porelss around my mouth now. Doc would this work. I just look so drawn and dried out but do all the sunscreens and vit c and retin a.buffet ,hyrolic 2 per cent, arbutin and niacinamide.can you name a good peptide also. I'm just not benefiting now.Thank you
What do you recommend as an alternative to hyaluronic acid in dry climates? I've learned that these can actually do the opposite if you live in a desert like environment (I live in South West, USA) Thanks!
Aloe? That should work...
You could try using a thermal water must with any humectant. Glycerin is another one!
Selina Li MUA/Esthetician thank you!
I have learned that glycerin does the opposite in dry environment, didn`t know it was the same with hyaluronic acid. Have a nice day
Any advice for elephant skin on knees? You really seem to know your stuff about skin care. Xxx
You can buy DNA repair enzymes in skin products?! Holy shit that is like the best combination of my nerdiness for biomedicine and also beauty products! I need this in my life !!
Hi Dr.! Do you not use any moisturizer at all?
Dear Dr Tonks,
I have a severe rosacea condition. Does any of this apply to me or should I only focus on using medicine against treating the condition?
Thank you for your channel x
I would advise getting the rosacea under control first and then seeing what your skin can tolerate
@@DrSarahTonks Thank you for the answer! :)
I tried DNA skin care cream from Korea it has an amazing result...
Thanks!!! I'm just worried about misspelled words--polution and infared...
Yes, agreed! I didnt check the edit
Hi.. I'm starting Near Infrared sauna. Does that age skin?
I adore your videos! Pre bed learnings 💕👌👌👌
Still In Search ahhhh I’m so glad you enjoy!
Dr Sarah Tonks Pleasure! I’ll want my face consulted by your self 😍
You know where I am Still In Search !!
Hi Sarah another informative video. Love your before and afters by the way, but please could you have your model face the camera in the same pose as the after pictures so we can really appreciate the subtle enhancements your craftsmanship has created. :-)
Maureen Proverbs totally agree! This was I think the second ever patient video I filmed so the camera work is a bit shonky!
how do you know if your moisturizer has AHA?
Which vitamin c serum would you recommend?
My absolute all time favourite has to be Skinceuticals' CE ferrulic serum, but it's a bit pricey! If you're on a budget, The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% is effective, but the texture is a little odd. You might also want to look into Vichy's LiftActiv Vitamin C serum. Hope that helps!
I@@DrSarahTonks On my vitamin C (Mario Badescu) it says to use it at night, not in the morning. You had mentioned in another reply to use in the AM, so I am confused. thank you
Trish LovesFashion weird because the point of it is to use it in the day as a back up to your SPF
Mad Hippie.. It s ingredients are superior to allmost any other Vit C products from my chemist perspective
@@DrSarahTonks I might have to check into this! Thanks
I LOVE this woman! :)
All I want is perfect skin and a really defined jawline 😩
Can you show us your skincare routine? Am and pm?
What kinds of occlusive moisturizers can you give me an example of
emmanoah9 Vaseline
You are so fabulous. You should have your own TV show. Especially love the celeb critiques. you mention telomere length. Do you plan to also venture into other anti ageing treatments such as Bio identical HRT, or growth hormone treatments etc? Ie; if we can slow down the ageing process then we won't lose so much volume, collagen etc?
Mary Hanover thank you!! Yes I do but I don’t offer it at the clinic. I’m starting a Masters at George Washington in Integrate Medicine in January and I’m involved in a metabolic endocrinology fellowship right now in the US. I was thinking to maybe set up another channel for all the stuff but there are only so many hours in the day!! I don’t know though, do you think it would be interesting?
Yes, I personally find all the integrated anti ageing medicine interesting. I've seen some pretty radical doctors speak at The Anti Ageing Conference like Dr. Thierry Hertoghe www.hertoghe.eu/en/ who basically uses himself as a guinea pig taking growth hormones, cortisol, testosterone...you name it! (I went a few years ago to research a TV doc) And I think they are ahead of the game in the US compared to here in the UK. But like you say, only so many hours in a day and you can't spread yourself too thin!
As for a TV series I absolutely love love hearing you review the celebs and the work they've had done from the comfort of your sofa! It's better than a dose of Hello Magazine with a sprinkling of goggle box! 👍@@DrSarahTonks
Question: Why is nothing done with the neck as much as the face? It looks very odd to have a smooth filled face and a lined and corded neck. Thanks.
Hard to treat the neck, often people will prioritise the face rather than the neck
@@DrSarahTonks Thanks for your time . I really think balance would just make the overall aesthetic more pleasing . Your patients are very lucky to have found such a conscientious and knowledgeable doctor such as yourself.
Another educational session here
Who dresses you? Gorgeous!
Just found your channel and really enjoying it! Thanks for putting up such useful content. Subbed :-)
Dr Sarah...
I've added benzac to my skink care routine because few but big and deep pimples.
I'm using BP in the morning and retain a at night but BP in the morning is a mess...
BP is a free radical, increases wrinkles and worsen skin appearance, so I try to use it only where I have pimples (cheek bones and temple). The problem is when I put other creams and I use Sunscreen, BO spreads all over my face!
this is why I would use it at night but I read some researches showing that BO deactivates TRETINOINE,
How long should I wait from BP application before using TRETINOINE?
Sorry if I'm bothering you, but I spent hours on pubmed and I can't find anything!
Some people say to wait three hours but can't bring any data to support this statement.
Can you help me please?
Raffaele Corrente I will do some research and get back to you, hang tight
Thanks Gr Sarah!
Raffaele Corrente have you seen this? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2958193/
It lists a few trials in which certain formulations are more resistant to degradation than others. Use of tretinoin 0.1% microsphere gel or adapalene with BPO has been shown to minimise the potential degradation of the retinoid it says. Hope that helps!
Dr Sarah,
Thanks for reply.
Yes, I read that paper.
My problem is that in Italy, where I live, I can't find any product like that.
All the brands products are something like "a pomade" :(
Raffaele Corrente ah well the availability I cannot help with! But you can often buy these things though the internet...
Can anyone recommend some brands??
Doc can you give a name of a really good hyraloric acid. Is 97 per cent the best for results.x
Jacqueline Dempsey skinceuticals HA intensifier
Is AHA moisturizing?
Rhonda Thornton yes
DNA Repair enzymes have not been proven. I would love to see if that has changed.
Its hasnt, but I still use them
Lovely Info! Thanx!

Can you talk about threads and IPL ?
Iggy Azalea!! She was a supermodel and now is an hybrid between Minaj and Jenner, i donn't know 🤪
isnt infrared used as well to rejuvenate skin?
I love ur vids
Thank you Maxine! Let me know if there are any topics you'd like me to cover next :)
peptides break me out :'(
Too bad, every single vit c products just break me out :(
All I want to know is what nail varnish she used xD
This channel is interesting
I'm very sceptical about the need of Dna repair enzyme. Especially because the issue with the lengths of telomeres, after a long period of scientific consensus, has been proven to be a myth
Love the blonde!
Fillers for the cheeks and nasolabial folds vs. stem cell treatment from a fat transfer?? Bigger bang for the buck?
Gigi Friedman stem cell isn’t like fat transfer- so you need to transfer the fat instead of extracting the stem cells. Can do a large areas with fat more cost effectively but not as accurate
Dr Sarah Tonks I see. Thank you very much for your answer! Love your channel! Your have a gift and a great eye, along with your knowledge and teaching skills✨💫✨Much appreciated! 😘
Will you be in ri usa anytime soon😁
nikki townes yes technically but I won’t be working there
