Hi Dr Sam, would you consider making a video on antioxidant alternatives to vitamin C and vitamin C derivatives? There seems to be a fair number of us who cannot (for one reason or another) use vitamin C in our skincare regimen as it causes too much stinging and burning, so it would be nice to know if there are any alternative ingredients that offer the same or at least comparable levels of antioxidant protection as vitamin C. 🙏😊
LED Blue light therapy stimulates melanocyte activities and will make hyperpigmentation worse; on the other hand, red and green light therapy have been shown to inhibit melanin synthesis.
I have a samsung and they have a very easy way to defuse the blue light your phone emits by putting on a slight orange filter on your phone . It's amazing i have had the setting on for three years and just turned it off to test it and the phone looks sooo blue and different!
more on this topic please. it's the most trying info to find. I'm especially interested in night shift work or night owls. circumstances that don't require makeup especially now with working from home and whatnot. also details like lights from the outside that come through the blinds while sleeping and how they affect retinoids and just general information on how to care for your skin if you're in such situation. anyway the visible light and hyperpigmentation/melasma sure hit hard, exactly as I'd feared 😭
Is there a particular Polypodium Leucotomos supplement you'd recommend please? I see Heliocare sell one (which contains other things as well) but there look to be lots of others available online too which are just PLE. As someone who has had melasma for 15 ish years I'd be keen to add this into my routine to see if it works for me. Thanks x
Dr Sam, I use Tretinoin 0.05% cream every other night but until now i couldn't manage to buy expensive sunscreen like Obagi and used the Nivea Sun Soothing Sensitive Face Cream SPF50. Could you please advice and review for drug store sunscreen from London stores? Wondering why Nivea or others brand name of the products are not in review from dermatologists or Nivea sunscreens are not in the dermatologists's approved ? I just don't want to get ruined my skin after protecting with the Tretinoin . Thank you
Nothing wrong with nivea, especially if you find a fragrance free one. Also garnier is a good drugstore one cuz it's made by Loreal (same lab as skinceuticals, vichy and la roche posay)
Hi Dr Sam. Good day to you. Need your opinion regarding exposure of sunlight to get enough vitamin D. How much and how long do we need to expose our skin as I saw some articles if we put a sunscreen it will block the uva uvb. Dont need to put sunscreen. I know the importance of sunscreen (anti aging) etc.
Dr Sam, what is your take on fullerene (C60) in skincare? There is so minimal (not to say reliable) information online about the effects of fullerene in skincare products. Do you recommend using products with fullerene for its anti-aging benefits?
Can products with tsubaki oil in the ingredients help with blue light? I have bought a facial oil which has got a lot of oils inside and promises that it helps because it has tsubaki oil inside
I don't believe that there are any ingredient suppliers that supply polypodium leucotomos, I haven't seen a brand other than Heliocare that uses it in their products, it is a very impressive plant extract and because it is a plant extract, I doubt that they could have patented it, I think it's just a matter of no suppliers, you should include it in your products if you can though, I am still waiting for yout o make a lightweight potent antioxidant serum with stable antioxidants that are tested and proven to be stable and proven to protect the skin from free radicals IN VIVO not in a petri dish with a single skin cell, or at the very least on reconstructed skin samples

Hi Dr. Sam! A video on scalp care would be LOVLEY! Loving all the content, that you!
What about LED blue lights often advertised for acne?
Dr Sam can you answer?
LED Blue light therapy stimulates melanocyte activities and will make hyperpigmentation worse; on the other hand, red and green light therapy have been shown to inhibit melanin synthesis.
@@AJ-vg7uw well that’s not true lmao, I had in clinic blue led light and it helped my pigmentation.
@@planesg3993 actually it is true

So are you telling me my Baurer light therapy lamp with a light wavelenght of 450-465 nm will age my skin???

Does blue light cause the skin cells to age and wrinkles to appear quicker or does blue light only cause hyperpigmentation?
Really both
Seriously Dr Sam if you can find a polypodium leucotomos extract cosmetic ingredients supplier please include it in your products!

so it's best not the use the blue light in my led light mask? i've been using it for my acne prone skin..
What about using a blue light filter when using your electronic devices e.g. phone and laptop? Would this not help?
It should. The ones for eye glasses reduce eye strain too.
This is exceptionally valuable information to me.
So that would be better if every individual uses sunscreen with iron oxide?
And Why do most sunscreens we use on a normal basis don't have iron oxide?
What is your opinion of red light therapy (630-660nm) and near infrared light (830-850nm) therapy for skin?

@Karen Zúñiga yikes lmao
@@PenguinDownload Thank you for your help with useful information :)
I have a video on the best sunscreens to try
Wow! Very interesting! Thank you, Dr Sam x
Is there a scientific visual aide that shows this reaction? It’s hard to picture how visible light can damage skin. Thanks! 🤓

Is iron oxide a physical sunblock like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide?

Dr in my experience whenever I play games on my pc my skin gets burn after 30 min just like sunburn? Is it normal?
No, but it rarely happens to me.
What about these anti blue light reading glasses.We see them all over now but is there evidence xx
What works for black and brown skin tones?
Hi, Does turning on a red light filter on my phone or wearing a mask while watching the phone and laptop would help preventing potential pigmentation?
Oh dear, are we getting a "flawless supplement" coming soon 😂
What about red light (led?) And infrared light?
I Heard Green light is the best for hyperpigmentation
Does blue light have any impact on acne ?
Thanks Dr Sam abd your voice is refreshing as always
it brightens up my day . . . . wish i could meet you in person
I use a blue, red and green LED face mask for acne and pigmentation? So will this make my pigmentation worse???
No one seems to have an answer for this.
I don't believe that there are any ingredient suppliers that supply polypodium leucotomos, I haven't seen a brand other than Heliocare that uses it in their products, it is a very impressive plant extract and because it is a plant extract, I doubt that they could have patented it, I think it's just a matter of no suppliers, you should include it in your products if you can though, I am still waiting for yout o make a lightweight potent antioxidant serum with stable antioxidants that are tested and proven to be stable and proven to protect the skin from free radicals IN VIVO not in a petri dish with a single skin cell, or at the very least on reconstructed skin samples
But isn't polypodium leucotomos most commonly used in oral supplement format? It's probably not as effective in skincare.
@LabMuffinBeautyScience Curious to know your ideas on this
Thank you dr.sam
I need to see more reviews from dark skin people before I invest in these devices
