I love how she took the "being on a deserted island" part so seriously. She told us how and why she would use the products on the actual island 😂😂😂 love you Dr dray
I am an oncology nurse and I absolutely love Dr. Dray. Her commitment to science and her utter disdain for bullshit just make me happy. She is the anti-skincare nonsense Guru. Thank you!
Cheers. It's nice to hear the reasoning, but sometimes getting the list up front and then going through it and explaining why would be more to my tastes.
I know you probably won’t see this comment. But as a stage 1, and stage 3 metastatic melanoma survivor, nursing student during the pandemic and frontline hospital worker, I wanted to say; THANK you. Thank you to educating about skin cancer. It’s something that is much overlook but very deadly.
I’m imagining Dr. Dray doing a “Would You Rather” video about skin care. “Would you rather go tanning once or use St. Ives Apricot Scrub every day for the rest of your life?”
@@angeladlane omgggg girlll i can t ...trust me!!! Im just not able to go over it...as a dermatologist im aware that she has knowledge...so i intend to grab it asap and get out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine how incredibly exciting it would be if manufacturers of Dr Dray’s recommended products were also eco-friendly in coming to the market in refillable packaging so that we are not constantly purchasing the plastic tubs and pumps over and over, sending them to landfill over and over? A match made in heaven!! Thank you Dr Dray for offering your knowledge, and providing cost effective skincare suggestions! Manufacturers, thank Dr Dray and her audience with eco friendly packaging. It will make all the difference to all of us.
It would be great if they also didn't contain Endocrine disruptors and were cruelty free too. Cerave is definitely not cruelty free and agreed on the plastic bottles. Yuck.
I talk often to my 15 year old granddaughter about skincare. She told me the other day she never goes anywhere without her sunscreen, even indoors. I've taught her well!😊
I bought the color science sunscreen on your advice and it’s the best I’ve ever used by far. The bit of color is nice and natural looking, but even nicer is that it has a blurring effect like powder. Not greasy. No pilling. Nice smooth matte finish. No need for foundation.
I myself is a physician, and I absolutely love Dr. Dray's channel. I tend to use luxury products because they are expensive which make me feel being well treated. Dr. Dray pulled me down to the ground and reminded me about what I have been trained for years: look at the clinical evidence! I also agree that skincare industry is a very special field, where placebo effect cannot be ignored. Luxury products build up an image like it is innovative, it is rare, all celebrities love me...and I do enjoy using them (o.k. I am not a strong person). Therefore I kept reviewing Dr. Dray's videos, which keep me calm...
1. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser 2. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream 3. The Ordinary niciamide+zinc 4. RetinA Micro 0.4 5. HadoLabo spf 50 My skin has never been as good as now!! I'm with this skincare just 1,5 month, but acne I always had starting my 16 are gone, my skin texture improved A LOT and I have healthy skin color and shine. Thank you dr. Dray for all information you share! 🥰
I used Retin-A for about two years for acne and sun damage around the eyes. It helped with both and my skin became flawless. I had to stop using the Retin-A because I became allergic to something that was in it so I switched to neutrogena pore minimizer (Salicylic acid). My skin remained flawless and the wrinkles never came back. I don't use either of these products now because I no longer have acne. It's been over 30 years since I used Retin-A and over 20 since I used salicylic acid and I have hardly aged. My skin became so clear and even toned that I stopped wearing foundation over 30 years ago.
I loved this video!! I appreciate that you’re NOT trying to convince everybody to buy a lot of crap but instead are recommending us to keep it basic ❣️You are always so straight forward and genuin, I love that about you and your videos and vlogs❣️
I’m over 50 and can’t live without my RetinA. I’m guessing if you’re not at the age where aging is so visible, it’s not a priority. Used nightly, after 2-4 weeks fine lines diminish, my skin looks incredibly smooth, more firm, and the tone is more even. I can tell it is making a difference because of the compliments. Definitely top 5 for me.
I am 51 and most people think I am late thirties. I even date some late twenty somethings! 😅 Retinals and Tretenoin, as well as hyper moisturizing is a holy grail. I also think my severe acne when I was younger probably now allows the oils I need to not age me. My skin looks much better now than in my twenties. Not sure what will happen when I hit menopause, but trying to get ahead of it now.
Thank you for mentioning that nasal trickle. I felt like I was a particularly gross human with this issue! I live in some of the coldest regions of the continental US, and there’s currently a 3 ft blanket of snow outside (snow banks as tall as an adult woman) and when the temps are below 20 degrees, my nose just leaks...and probably freezes when outside. Even just 15-20 mins outside walking my dog just perpetuates the skin irritation. Then, the heat inside further dries the air. All the deep-freeze cold and dry air causes my nose to leak slightly, and I get a tiny bit of irritation on the skin btwn my nostrils. It’s gross, it hurts, and it doesn’t heal until the the weather warms up. I just feel validated. Thank you.
If I was exiled to a deserted island, I'd like to bring Dr Dray. She would share her skincare products with me because she wouldn't be able to let me go without sunscreen for a day. And I'd get the much needed entertainment from her dry humor to survive the isolation.
Aloha! Yes, I live on an island called Oahu! Today is only my second day of watching your vids. Thank you so much for all the information. I am a 73 old male with Creepy Skin on my forearms. Thank God that I can find the products you use anywhere and not break the bank. Honestly, being a male I would just like less steps and products to take care of my face. Basically, wash my face and body, sleep, wake up wash my face again, put something on my face that will protect my skin for the day, return from work, wash my body and face and then sleep. Which products will fit perfectly in this routine for a man. Isn't skin of a male or female the same? Any how Mahalo's Plenty and Blessings for your encouragement.
Well wouldn’t you know it, there’s a combination sunscreen and bug repellent, wonder what it’s like? ...SPF 34 Badger Anti-Bug™ Sunscreen - 2.9 oz Tube
My top favorites 1. Yes to Tomatoes Face Cleanser 2. Burt's Bees Milk and Honey Hand Cream 3. Soap and Glory The Righetous Body Lotion 4. Smith's Rose Bud Salve (as a lip and cuticle balm) 5. Epsom Salts I mix with 6. Dr. Bronner Peppermint liquid soap for spa baths.
You took this Kansas girl to a deserted island on her lunch break and I loved every minute of it. I’m packing my skincare survival bag as soon as I get home tonight!! Love you Dr. Dray!
I guess that isn’t so bad when less populated areas = less noise and air pollution, smaller homeless population and nicer, more polite people as a general rule.😌
Completely agree with Dr Dray in regards to Urea foot cream. This stuff is amazing. Forget all those expensive foot creams you can buy, use this and it will not let you down.
I’m frequently Quarantined in hotels due to work, to keep my sanity I will bring iPad(reading, watching, gaming), moisturiser and cleanser, a camera and my favourite snack/food. And trust me confinement hotel room feels very much like a deserted island
My skin is so much more youthful and beautiful since I started following your advice. And the funny thing is that the products you recommend, which are actually effective, cost less than the ones I had been preciously using. Thank you Dr Dray!
This video has done a few things for me: first, it has made me realize I’m a bit high-maintenance. Second, it has me doubting & thus re-thinking my entire skincare regimen! Finally, it has reaffirmed my love of & enjoyment from Dr. Dray & her videos❣️❣️❣️
@@oguapisito I had that exact same aha moment when my derm explained it to me. My initial reaction was why in the world would I need a makeup remover I don’t wear makeup. But it has made such a huge difference with my skin.
I listen to several RUclipsrs and learn something from all of them, BUT really love your channel for keeping it real and consistent. Stay safe and healthy! Definitely taking my sunscreen to my island! :)
Yourself and Dr Vanita Rattan have helped my skin improve so much with your recommendations and advise. You both think about people’s budgets, different skin colour needs and skin conditions. Thank you 🙏🏽
I love that Dr. Gray considers budget conscious people and scenarios in case we couldn’t afford going above and beyond the basic skin care routine. Much appreciated Dr. Gray; we all cannot afford what celebrities or other influencers recommend, which can be pricey & outside of our pay range 😬
I was destroying my skin barrier trying all kinds of products, layering all different stuff not to mention costing me a fortune. I went to derm got tret, hydroquinone, a tub of CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer my skins never been happier.
I generally like this content but I was quite surprised by this list! I have an esthetics degree and know skincare. 1. I don't believe in sunscreen except in severe situations because it is had strong chemical components that may react negatively over time on the face. A big hat, sunglasses and clothing cover up works. 2. A cleanser as a top 5 product ? Most cleansers work well because they are removing from the skin not adding to it. 3. A lip smoother does not seem it should be on a top skincare list but on a lipcare list.. 4. Callous creme the same although it's an interesting recommendation.5. She recommended a creme with a pump dispenser. It's the only one I might agree with it.
Would love a top 5 popular skincare that you would never buy or even use if you were given them for free. Like products that even though they are popular you will never use them. 😃😃😃
Better yet - how about NEVER USE even if PAID big bucks to use them. That would have to be skincare with fragrance or Linalool added...or a home remedy to firm the skin, ala micro needling🤯
I would take: 1) MDSolarSciences SPF 50 Mineral Creme 2) CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 3) Aklief (Trifarotene Cream) 4) CeraVe Healing Ointment 5) some sort of cream I could use on face & body (CeraVe Moisturizing Cream irritates my face)
I have just started cera ve and neutrogena hydrating gel and I think one of them is causing me a few hives. I al prone to them when putting in products. but getting them everyday now after applying. I can use the PM light one though. also if I use the cera ve moisturizer in the morning without the neutrogena my face burns.
@@kaym.8965 Okay, first check to make sure you got the fragrance free Neutrogena Gel. The one labeled for Extra Dry Skin has no fragrance. Second, I would try cycling out some of the CeraVe products. CeraVe can sometimes irritate my skin too in the morning but it sounds like you are having a more severe reaction.
Neutrogena clear skin spf 50, cerave healing ointment, son & park beauty water, belif cleanser and a moisturizer (don’t have a holy grail but I love milk vegan cream and any gel creams for daytime)
That CeraVe ointment has helped protect my lips while outdoors in the mornings shoveling snow/ice/slush - it’s great cardio but the dry winter weather here is havoc on the lips underneath a mask ❄️
My 5 things for a deserted island will be my already everyday skincare: Cerave cleanser Alpha Skin Care 12% glycolic acid treatment Cerave lotion Hado Labo SPF 50+ UV White Gel Retin-A for wrinkle prevention😬
Dr Dray your hair is so pretty today! I would take the neutrogena gentle cleanser, Vaseline, eucerin sunscreen, cerave moisturizer, and nail clippers!! 😝
Karasal foot cream is amazing. My extremely cracked heals are so soft now. After a week of using it, I honestly feel like I got a pedicure. Thank you so much for this recommendation.
I’m so happy you clarified on stopping tretinoin and what the results would be! I’ve been using it for 4 months but might want to have another baby soon and am dreading stopping it
One of the thing I like about Andrea is she doesn’t bullshit you.Andrea realises people can’t afford all this celebrity nonsense just made to make them even more money they don’t need.I especially like the urea foot cream that’s on my list.Thanks for never changing from what’s really important 🥰 from 🇬🇧xxx
Vanicream products are wonderful. My husband has terrible sensitive skin issues. Our dermatologist recommends Vanicream products for him, starting with their bar soap. It/they make a huge difference, absolutely our Holy Grail product(s). And they are reasonably priced, to boot.
Hi did you find the altruist face fluid sticky/ tacky when applied to skin? The bottle I bought was but everyone else seems to rave about it. Wondering if I got a dodgy bottle .
Dr.Dray- Your subtle( or not so subtle) sarcasm is hysterical! Extremely valuable advice with focus on the middle class 40+ hour working people with very modest incomes
Is anybody else coming back over and over again to this vid just to watch the moment when Dray impersonates the _Don' t look at my feet, I haven' t done my pedicure_ insta-influencer???? The voice inflection, the rolling eyes, Caitlin Reilly vibes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣✨✨✨✨
I have the same issue when I wear a mask. The skin under my nostrils gets so raw sometimes. I will definitely be trying the healing ointment. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that before.
Lmaoo agreeing with everyone about how funny Dr Dray is for committing to "being on a deserted island" but I also love it because it brings out the complications of "best product in general" because products are useful for certain circumstances and for some set of needs!
So, my real life "deserted island" happened when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for 6 months in 2019! I was pretty filthy most of the time on trail, but every night I would use face wipes (since unfortunately soap/cleanser is no bueno when it comes to Leave No Trace - even biodegradable soap). Then I'd follow up with moisturizer. Every day I'd apply and reapply sunscreen, especially at high elevation. I was usually at the mercy of whatever I could buy in towns or outposts along the trail, unless I got a box in the mail with stuff. But I pretty much only felt truly clean when I got to shower in towns every 4-10 days 😂 Definitely got a few extra sun wrinkles from the exposure, but I made a lifetime's worth of amazing memories and I'm back on the skincare train now, hahaha.
How do u use tretinoin ? My doc recommended me 0.025 since i have lots of black n white heads . She asked me to use it daily . It gave me such a gaint pimples . Also marks . I stopped using it . But i want to get rid of black heads . Can u plz tell hpw tp use it correctly so that it won't react again. I m too scared to use it
I have been a major fan of Dr. Gray for a couple of years now. I have listened to some others but always return to her. Gets to the point and it not endorse her own line of products. Good information, pleasant personality…thank you Dr. Gray.
I love colorscience...just starting using this one. My dad is a dermatologist and I have put sunscreen on my face everyday, winter through summer, for the last 25 years. So important!
This is one on my most favorite videos from Dr. Dray. I’m keeping my skin care routine basic and simple as she recommends and it has gone really well. Thanks for all your useful recommendations 😊
I've been binging your videos since I discovered you! I was so relieved to learn that I don't actually HAVE to have a vitamin C serum and I love your somewhat minimalist approach to skincare.
My husband & I have been using a product you recommended, Neutrogena Hydro Boost overnight hydration cream, and it has CHANGED OUR LIVES! The dry skin is GONE- hands, feet, face, lips, arms, legs- it’s a MIRACLE worker! The hyaluronic acid works WONDERS!!! I’m buying a bottle for my mother!
I’ve been using cerave’s hydrating face wash and I’m almost out of it. It was so good and even tho I have oily skin it feels really nice because I tend to have dehydrated skin 😀 and it actually helped to stop my skin producing so much oil
With the hydrating one, it felt like it just moving debris around my face. Did you not have that issue? If not, how exactly do you use the cleanser? Thanks
@@Sam_A_Sam not really, my skin felt clean. First wet your face then apply the cleanser and massage it for like 60 seconds, then wash it off well with abundant water. 😊
I appreciate your honesty. I have been wearing sunscreen since my early teens. I feel like I’m using way too many products now that I’m in my 40s. I spend too much money and time on skincare. Thanks for the tip.
I love how she took the "being on a deserted island" part so seriously. She told us how and why she would use the products on the actual island 😂😂😂 love you Dr dray
I expected nothing less.

Very cool! Great idea!

i love how she mixes humor with serious skin care talks .
She’s so cute fr and intelligent 😻
Sun protection is so so important. My friend’s dad went in yesterday to get a melanoma cut off near his eye😫
I was destroying my skin barrier trying all kinds of products, layering all different stuff not to mention costing me a fortune. I went to derm got tret, hydroquinone, a tub of CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer my skins never been happier.
I generally like this content but I was quite surprised by this list! I have an esthetics degree and know skincare. 1. I don't believe in sunscreen except in severe situations because it is had strong chemical components that may react negatively over time on the face. A big hat, sunglasses and clothing cover up works. 2. A cleanser as a top 5 product ? Most cleansers work well because they are removing from the skin not adding to it. 3. A lip smoother does not seem it should be on a top skincare list but on a lipcare list.. 4. Callous creme the same although it's an interesting recommendation.5. She recommended a creme with a pump dispenser. It's the only one I might agree with it.
Lol
Would love a top 5 popular skincare that you would never buy or even use if you were given them for free. Like products that even though they are popular you will never use them. 😃😃😃
She's done a few vids on this subject, maybe not exact same title.
She has a video on products she doesn't use
@@marynjesh it’s just ones she does not use. The idea behind it is products that are popular and she still will not use them, that’s the idea.
@@chrissyforanimals 10 worst skincare trends she talks about hyped up products she hates
Better yet - how about NEVER USE even if PAID big bucks to use them. That would have to be skincare with fragrance or Linalool added...or a home remedy to firm the skin, ala micro needling🤯
I would take:
1) MDSolarSciences SPF 50 Mineral Creme
2) CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
3) Aklief (Trifarotene Cream)
4) CeraVe Healing Ointment
5) some sort of cream I could use on face & body (CeraVe Moisturizing Cream irritates my face)
I have just started cera ve and neutrogena hydrating gel and I think one of them is causing me a few hives. I al prone to them when putting in products. but getting them everyday now after applying. I can use the PM light one though. also if I use the cera ve moisturizer in the morning without the neutrogena my face burns.
@@kaym.8965 Okay, first check to make sure you got the fragrance free Neutrogena Gel. The one labeled for Extra Dry Skin has no fragrance. Second, I would try cycling out some of the CeraVe products. CeraVe can sometimes irritate my skin too in the morning but it sounds like you are having a more severe reaction.
Dr Dray is the most honest skin specialist you could ever wish for. She doesn’t do bullshit, and because of her I have lovely skin. Xx
I'm loving the long hair down and natural and the way it frames the face!!!
Yesss!
This is a really good video. She tells you the “why” of using these products. Valuable information.
The wild animal chasing me scenario has sold me on urea foot cream.....LOVE IT
Neutrogena clear skin spf 50, cerave healing ointment, son & park beauty water, belif cleanser and a moisturizer (don’t have a holy grail but I love milk vegan cream and any gel creams for daytime)
That CeraVe ointment has helped protect my lips while outdoors in the mornings shoveling snow/ice/slush - it’s great cardio but the dry winter weather here is havoc on the lips underneath a mask ❄️
My 5 things for a deserted island will be my already everyday skincare:
Cerave cleanser
Alpha Skin Care 12% glycolic acid treatment
Cerave lotion
Hado Labo SPF 50+ UV White Gel
Retin-A for wrinkle prevention😬
Dr Dray your hair is so pretty today! I would take the neutrogena gentle cleanser, Vaseline, eucerin sunscreen, cerave moisturizer, and nail clippers!! 😝
Karasal foot cream is amazing. My extremely cracked heals are so soft now. After a week of using it, I honestly feel like I got a pedicure. Thank you so much for this recommendation.
Amazon?
My must-have items:
1. Cera Ve moisturizing cream
2. SPF 70
3. Niacinamide
4. The Ordinary Retinol 1% in squalane oil
5. Cera Ve Renewing SA cleanser
I’m so happy you clarified on stopping tretinoin and what the results would be! I’ve been using it for 4 months but might want to have another baby soon and am dreading stopping it
Love how you are taking this whole deserted island thing so seriously. Seems you’ve given it a lot of thought. You are a hoot!!!
One of the thing I like about Andrea is she doesn’t bullshit you.Andrea realises people can’t afford all this celebrity nonsense just made to make them even more money they don’t need.I especially like the urea foot cream that’s on my list.Thanks for never changing from what’s really important 🥰 from 🇬🇧xxx
Vanicream products are wonderful. My husband has terrible sensitive skin issues. Our dermatologist recommends Vanicream products for him, starting with their bar soap. It/they make a huge difference, absolutely our Holy Grail product(s). And they are reasonably priced, to boot.
I would take these:
1. Altruist Face Fluid
2. Altruist Body Sunscreen (spf 50)
3. Tretinoin
4. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
5. Any oil cleanser
thanks for sharing your top 5!
@@DrDrayzday I get the big pump-bottle size of Altruist sent to California - great formulation.
Hi did you find the altruist face fluid sticky/ tacky when applied to skin? The bottle I bought was but everyone else seems to rave about it. Wondering if I got a dodgy bottle .
I've never watched survivor but one product I've grown to love is my Paul's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant. I'm addicted 🤪
Dr.Dray- Your subtle( or not so subtle) sarcasm is hysterical! Extremely valuable advice with focus on the middle class 40+ hour working people with very modest incomes
Is anybody else coming back over and over again to this vid just to watch the moment when Dray impersonates the _Don' t look at my feet, I haven' t done my pedicure_ insta-influencer???? The voice inflection, the rolling eyes, Caitlin Reilly vibes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣✨✨✨✨
@ Sebum Post
I am on a Dr.Drea binge a thon..
My skin had a flare up using Josie Maran's skincare line.🤬
I have the same issue when I wear a mask. The skin under my nostrils gets so raw sometimes. I will definitely be trying the healing ointment. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that before.
Lmaoo agreeing with everyone about how funny Dr Dray is for committing to "being on a deserted island" but I also love it because it brings out the complications of "best product in general" because products are useful for certain circumstances and for some set of needs!
Color Science. Just rewatched!
Thank you for introducing me to Cerave. I love their products and it makes a difference to my skin
Thank you! You are the first doctor who understands that runny nose behind the mask issue!
She took the deserted island analogy so seriously hahaha 😂
I loved it
Docs don’t joke 😏
That mug is soooooooooooooooooooooooo the perfect size.
So, my real life "deserted island" happened when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for 6 months in 2019! I was pretty filthy most of the time on trail, but every night I would use face wipes (since unfortunately soap/cleanser is no bueno when it comes to Leave No Trace - even biodegradable soap). Then I'd follow up with moisturizer. Every day I'd apply and reapply sunscreen, especially at high elevation. I was usually at the mercy of whatever I could buy in towns or outposts along the trail, unless I got a box in the mail with stuff. But I pretty much only felt truly clean when I got to shower in towns every 4-10 days 😂 Definitely got a few extra sun wrinkles from the exposure, but I made a lifetime's worth of amazing memories and I'm back on the skincare train now, hahaha.
my 5 skincare essentials would be: cleanser, moisturizer, vit C, tretinoin, and sunscreen 😎
Which tretinoin😍
@@anisatasnim6662 any brand would be fine, I prefer the strength of 0.05%
How do u use tretinoin ? My doc recommended me 0.025 since i have lots of black n white heads . She asked me to use it daily . It gave me such a gaint pimples . Also marks . I stopped using it . But i want to get rid of black heads . Can u plz tell hpw tp use it correctly so that it won't react again. I m too scared to use it
I really love the message of this vid, at the end of the day simplicity is really the key when it comes to skin care.
The look on your face @ “then you must be new here!” 😂🤣😭 omg I CACKLED ily @drdray
I laughed at that one!
I have been a major fan of Dr. Gray for a couple of years now. I have listened to some others but always return to her. Gets to the point and it not endorse her own line of products. Good information, pleasant personality…thank you Dr. Gray.
I love colorscience...just starting using this one. My dad is a dermatologist and I have put sunscreen on my face everyday, winter through summer, for the last 25 years. So important!
you should make a top 5 holy grail haircare products!
My favorite video 😂 love how real she is and isn’t trying to just pawn off expensive products!
I’ve been lax about the urea for my feet, my derm recently gave me a stern look so I’ve been more compliant. Such a difference!
This is one on my most favorite videos from Dr. Dray. I’m keeping my skin care routine basic and simple as she recommends and it has gone really well. Thanks for all your useful recommendations 😊
Dr. Dray you have helped my skin to improve so much....Happy Friday
WHERE CAN I GET MY "SUNSCREEN AND SURVIVE" T-SHIRT? 😂
I thought she said "sunscreen and subscribe'"
I've been binging your videos since I discovered you! I was so relieved to learn that I don't actually HAVE to have a vitamin C serum and I love your somewhat minimalist approach to skincare.
My husband & I have been using a product you recommended, Neutrogena Hydro Boost overnight hydration cream, and it has CHANGED OUR LIVES! The dry skin is GONE- hands, feet, face, lips, arms, legs- it’s a MIRACLE worker! The hyaluronic acid works WONDERS!!! I’m buying a bottle for my mother!
@Bassingal
How long have you been using it? Is it a lotion or cream ( in a tub)?
Oh my gosh - my nose has a non-stop “trickle”, too!!! I know - TMI.
Thought I was the only one...! 😅
hope you all have an amazing weekend xo !
You too!!
Happy Friday 😊
I get the best advice from you. I don’t need to watch any other RUclips channels to get my needed information. Thank you for helping all of us
You’re skin has improved so much Dr. omg it looks flawless
I’ve been using cerave’s hydrating face wash and I’m almost out of it. It was so good and even tho I have oily skin it feels really nice because I tend to have dehydrated skin 😀 and it actually helped to stop my skin producing so much oil
With the hydrating one, it felt like it just moving debris around my face. Did you not have that issue? If not, how exactly do you use the cleanser? Thanks
@@Sam_A_Sam not really, my skin felt clean. First wet your face then apply the cleanser and massage it for like 60 seconds, then wash it off well with abundant water. 😊
This is a HOLY GRAIL video!! What a blessing!
YES FOR VANICREAM! Helped me heal my eczema
I appreciate your honesty. I have been wearing sunscreen since my early teens. I feel like I’m using way too many products now that I’m in my 40s. I spend too much money and time on skincare. Thanks for the tip.
