I would really appreciate if you could do a video about layering products correctly and what products to not use together in a skin routine. There's too much confusion out there.

It's very confusing with all the videos out there. Also, a video on anti-aging routine for ladies 50's - 60's. Love your videos!!
Here’s something interesting and it works for me. Because We cleanse at night there is no need to cleanse in AM. Just use water to remove the skincare you used at night. This made for a more hydrated skin and no breakouts or oils. It surprised me.
Watching this with my grandmother and her comment was “good lord have mercy they didn’t make them like that when I was young.” We didn’t notice the decorations 😳😂🤣.
I will be 51 this year, I just started microneedling and it has been amazing. I've noticed a huge change after the first session alone. Looking forward to my next session and to see the results.
Topic to bring up. How to combine different kind of active ingredients in your skincare routine morning and night for different kind of skin type. For example for dry, normal, combine or oily skin. That would be great and helpful! 😁
I’ve been watching lots of skin care routine videos, as I’ve been trying to figure out the best routine for me. This is the absolute best and most informative video I’ve seen. I also really appreciate the care you show for your audience. And as a south Asian woman who has struggled with some hyperpigmentation, I so appreciate your words. You are helping so many people. Thank you both!
Can you make videos on skincare for age catergory groups? 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, and so on... This might give the age group to understand what skin routine they should follow 😊
It differs from person to person, some 20 something year old might need 30 something year old skin care as it is very personal person to person. Like they said, you cannot put into the brackets and what that age people use it will suit your skin. Determine your concerns/problems and then treat them and this is nothing to do with your age.
Video ideas: Back acne washes? What causes it and how to treat it. Any special care needed for people with beards? And beard oils that don’t cause pore clogging and oily skin. Body wash ingredients that are good for hydrating skin. What body moisturizers to avoid? (Back acne gets worse when I moisturize so I’m curious why) Lip care? Lips keep getting extremely dry. Started using polysporin lip care at night and it’s helped but others might still have this issue. Sorry for the long message. Started using retinoids because of the channel! Thanks again for all the great content.
Hi there! My bf has back acne and I’ve been helping him and this is what we do. Try an exfoliation body wash with a loofah and really get in there on some days. Or a normal body wash an a stronger body exfoliant 1-2 times per week. I’ve noticed he really doesn’t wash his back well and let’s sweat sit after the gym. You really need to make sure you shower frequently and actually scrub your body well. Scrub, gently, but just for longer than you normally do. You can even get back facials! Call any local salon who offers facials :) Basically what they will do is a cleansing, an exfoliation, extractions - don’t try at home, and moisturizer. Also the moisturizer you are using could be clogging your pores even more! It needs to be a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which basically means it won’t clog your pores. Hope this helps!
I noticed when I used to just use the Cetaphil (gentle) cleanser and Cetaphil moisturizer with spf my skin was perfect, now it's got a whole lot of issues with 10 steps. Definitely gonna go through my routine, thanks!
I went to a dermatologist and they gave me a skin care routine and I havent had acne in a while now! Am: Cetaphil pro foaming wash, and neutrogena hydroboost and neutrogena sunscreen. Pm: cetaphil pro foam cleanser, adapalene .3 percent given by dermatologist, and neutrogena hydro boost gel cream. Pm cetaphil pro
I can’t love this channel enough!!! My mom spent a lot of time in Europe, so she was very aggressive in teaching me a skincare routine. I’ve dug and learned more over the years on my own. But now I have a teenage daughter. Teaching her to take care of her skin is so important! This channel is a one stop shop to find what she needs!!! Thank you so much!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I would love to see a video on the really high end skincare lines, like La Mer, La Prairie , Guerlain , Dior. Are they really doing anything more for your skin than a drugstore line like Cerave or Neutrogena etc. love the videos.
I'm a cosmetic chemist and can tell you La Mer, Dior etc products are more hype than substance. You're better off saving your money by using CeraVe, Paula's Choice etc. Buy stuff with evidenced-based ingredients that suit your skin type, not the marketing.
Acne: have one or two ingredients for the first months - Retinoid - best adapalene - benzol peroxide - salycilic acid - paula choice - azelaic acid - the ordinary - niacinamide- vitamin they would put in their face
PLS DO A VIDEO OR PART on light therapy! I have a high frequency wand and it’s literally helped me acne sooo much! I get hormonal acne so much and I feel enough ppl don’t know about this tool! LIFE SAVER!
I just discovered this channel and I love that if I don’t relate too a section of the video I can scroll and they have titles on each section which is something I haven’t seen before that is very helpful so thankyou guys 🖤🖤🖤
As a family physician, I LOVE your videos! Plenty of science & data presented in a way that’s easy to understand & practical. You’re making this Jersey Girl proud!! Keep up the great work, guys! Btw, where is your practice?
Hey Y'all, white chick from Florida pushing towards 60yoa. Found out the growth hormones in dairy products were triggering terrible cystic acne especially along my chin. No I wasn't on any "change of life" hormones that compounded this issue... So about 15 years ago I quit consuming any dairy products that weren't labeled as non growth hormone, my issue cleared up in a couple of months. So check your diet as you may be dealing with a reaction... Just sharing my history. Peace and Love 💖
Globe is great, those plants in particular are meh (get something with a bit more gusto) and I think a cool painting/picture on the wall behind you guys would be awesome! Nothing too distracting, just a little color.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting these videos. I went off birth control after 10 years and experienced the WORST adult acne. After watching these videos I got all the recommended products and followed the routine and my face is now almost totally clean and clear after one week. I suffered for months with this until now
Love that fact that you give great suggestions for all price ranges. Unfortunately we can not all get a referral to a Dermatologist..so we are stuck with using over the counter Retinals..So your recommendations are very helpful..
Okay after tons of research & deciding which products would benefit my skin (hormonal acne, post flare hyperpigmentation, fine lines (in my early 30’s), and texture lol), this is the routine based on the Doctorly steps of Cleanse, Treat, Protect: Day Time Routine - [ ] 1. Cerave acne foaming cleanser 4% benzoyl peroxide. CLEANSE - [ ] 2. 1x/wk or if broken out (pms 😒), Paula’s Choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant w/salicylic acid. TREAT - [ ] 3. Vitamin c. TREAT - [ ] 4. Vichy mineral 89 hylauronic acid (to plump). TREAT/PROTECT - [ ] 5. Cetaphil oil absorbing moisturizer spf 30. PROTECT - [ ] 6. Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 Night time Routine - [ ] 1. Adapalene (retinoid) - [ ] 2. Niacinimide (Cerave PM moisturizer with niacinimide makes me break out. So I got the Differin 4% Niacinimide) Hope this helps someone! 🙂
Hey guys! Loving the videos. Are you able to do a quick video on what is best for body skin care? Eg what kind of body wash do you recommend? Do you recommend loufahs, exfoliating gloves, brushes, etc? Do you recommend hand moisturisers etc? Thanks!
@@Missmethinksalot1 I know this isn’t the other person’s experience but here’s mine. Around 6th grade, Mario started to become really big for its aesthetic. I tried out their rose water spray and nothing happened. When I tried their lavender spray though girl- I have bad cystic acne- I stopped using it and earlier this year I tried it again for two days and broke out with the worse acne ever
@@Missmethinksalot1 I tried a Mario cleansing gel, cleansing lotion, then acne facial cleanser based off their online skin quiz in January 2018 and it did nothing. Switched back to Walmart bought neutrogena and it worked better. Then in January 2019 started Clinique acne solutions 3 step system (now have to buy step 3 from the uk and have it shipped here) and it works!
Looking forward to the hyperpigmentation video 🙏. Please address how to use ingredients to target pigmentation. I use tretinoin at night and Vit C in the morning along with sunscreen but I don't see improvement 😥
I couldn't agree more with your statement on procedures. I wish more influencers and actresses would fess up about getting procedures. There is no shame in getting beauty procedures to feel good about yourself, just don't peddle lotions as the only way to treat aging skin. Excellent video.
Maybe three months ago I noticed that my face was getting blotchy and I was developing little pits around my cheeks. I've never had perfect skin but its never been bad either but this was making me self conscious. I eat healthy, I work out, I change my sheets ( pillows included) weekly. I could probably stand to drink more water but its not that bad. After trying a few things on my own I sought out some help discovered you all. its been a bit over a month since I started my routine based on your suggestions. MAN OH MAN... I have seen a vast improvement the blotchy tones are smoothing out. The pitting ( which I was worried about the most) is starting to smooth out. Even my random acne which usually gives me a nice hard pimple once in a while hasn't shown up. I can't wait to see what three months will look like. For those wondering... I do the lactic acid ( ordinary ) in the am ( after I clean my face which is usually my own hand made soap), niacinamide ( ordinary), aveeno calm and restore moisturizer and finally a mineral sunscreen if I'm going out. in the PM cleanse again nia again moisturizer ink retinol/ eye retinol then moisturizer... I can't thank you two enough for your information. I was already depressed this did not help. Finally feeling like me again at least in this one aspect. THANK YOU!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day fellas! I always consider Dr. Shah the dermatologist and Dr. Maxfield the everything-ologist bc Dr. Shah's scrubs(?) always have dermatology underneath his name, but Dr. Maxfield's don't. This makes me now wonder if there is a smolder degree....
I would love to see more anti aging, anti sagging, anti hyperpigmentation for over 60 folks. I’m not sure our thin older faces should use the same strength or same agents as the baby faced crowd.

Recently, I have been watching your videos and incorporating some of your skin care routines and recommendations into my daily skin regimen. I must say that I have noticed a tremendous change with my skin texture. Thank you for sharing your stories and products. I look forward to seeing more videos!
@@SuperEwyatt technically everything is a chemical...Air/Water etc. A face oil can be damaging for the skin if you use it in the day (at night it's great) because it can disrupt the goodelivery of you sunscreen.
Would love to see a video where you guys give your take on peptides, that seems to be a hot ingredient lately in all the skincare ads but no clue if it actually does anything!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and thank you for promoting the use of affordable products that are beneficial and effective, as well as how to use them. Your content is practical, relatable and incredibly helpful! I really appreciate you both!
I found out that areas with hard water have a lot of "gunk" in them so.........after cleansing using regular tap water I spritz my face and neck and chest with distilled water. I love it. I don't have a clue whether we have hard water or not but just in case I use the distilled water. And distilled water is so cheap. Really makes my skin glow.
I am 73 years old and never did much in the way of skin care other than washing (never used toners), sunscreen (once I got beyond 30-before that, they did not recommend them as much) and moisturizers. All drug store brands-Aveeno and Olay mostly. I have now fallen down the rabbit hole of products. I just signed up for the monthly Curology and they have me on Niacinamide 4%, Tretinoin, 0.02% (on it since Dec. and they are sending me a stronger solution next month) and Tranexamic Acid 5%. I have so many serums and moisturizers because each time I see one advertised, it seems to be better than what I already have. lol I use a Vit. C serum in the morning. I never had any trouble with red skin or flaking with the Tretinoin-probably because I was using so many serums and oils and moisterizers! I too would love a video on layering and what to do in what order. Everyone you watch on RUclips has a different opinion. I love these guys because they are MD's and they talk about the science and they are soooooo cute! I have a lot of hyperpigmentation (I guess they are just old age spots) and I have very light skin. Sorry to ramble. Anyone have any opinions about the Curology subscription? Should I go to a dermatologist and get a Rx for Treninoin or stick with the Curology. New sub. here-LOVE you guys!
Thank you guys for all your Skin videos! I work at Ulta as a prestige beauty advisor, and I love taking in all the skin knowledge! I like knowing that I'm actually helping someone with their skin.
Cannot thank my longtime dermatologist enough for helping me with educating me and other patience on simple and effective skin care routines. The key is patience, consistency and discipline. Thanks to her my skin is healthier at 48 than in my early 30s.

Before finding you two I was watching another dermatologist on RUclips (female). She has totally different recommendations but I’m trusting you two because you’ve really done your research.
I'm 26 from UK and I feel very lucky to have my mother pester me to wear suncream a lot when I was growing up. Might have gone a couple of years not using it in the winter and I've badly burnt only a couple of times in my life. I always wore it in the summer if I was going to be out. Now I use it if UV index is over 2, so cloudy/rainy, sunny whatever the weather. It was seen as "uncool" to wear it when I was in school and everyone would often be "showing off" their sunburns to get attention. There were many girls in my year that never wore it once even in the heat of summer. I didn't care though as I was told early about the dangers of the sun. Some of those girls from school that are my age now look 35+ so I'm so glad I took care of my skin and I'll never stop! Thank you for the tips guys just found your channel and love it :)

Lmao no
I saw in a video that they do like some natural oils so I’m hoping to see a video on that!
For acne
benzoyl peroxide - facial wash
salicylic acid/azelaic acid (for pregnancy) - toner
retinoid - acne treatment itself
niacinamide - essence
Please do a video on morning skincare routine - wash, moisturize, sunscreen, vitamin C, etc. and order of layering. Then do a video for night time skincare routine and order of layering. It's very confusing with all the videos out there. Also, a video on anti-aging routine for ladies 50's - 60's. Love your videos!!
I second this
Here’s something interesting and it works for me. Because We cleanse at night there is no need to cleanse in AM. Just use water to remove the skincare you used at night. This made for a more hydrated skin and no breakouts or oils. It surprised me.
The gold standard for we older ladies is tretinoin and prior to application is the LED red light mask.
Video idea : Sunscreen
- best sunscreens
- sunscreen moisturizer vs sunscreens
- mineral vs physical vs chemical
- what ingredients do we look out for
Yes please do this!
Best Korean or Japanese sunscreens and closest comparable American options.
sunscreen for acne-prone skin
Agree! We need a sunscreen video
Yes!! Ingredients to look out for/avoid in a sunscreen
It is so refreshing to see such genuine content. Everything is laid out clearly and explained super well!
We need a video about what order to put skincare products on
This is probably way too late but you’re probably save going from thinnest to thickest.

I will be 51 this year, I just started microneedling and it has been amazing. I've noticed a huge change after the first session alone. Looking forward to my next session and to see the results.
Topic to bring up. How to combine different kind of active ingredients in your skincare routine morning and night for different kind of skin type.
For example for dry, normal, combine or oily skin. That would be great and helpful! 😁
Good point I couldn't find a video about different skin types on this channel
I was trying to find the same thing. I am confused of what type my skin is.
I’ve been watching lots of skin care routine videos, as I’ve been trying to figure out the best routine for me. This is the absolute best and most informative video I’ve seen. I also really appreciate the care you show for your audience. And as a south Asian woman who has struggled with some hyperpigmentation, I so appreciate your words. You are helping so many people. Thank you both!
"Good products don't make a good routine" 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can you make videos on skincare for age catergory groups? 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, and so on... This might give the age group to understand what skin routine they should follow 😊
It differs from person to person, some 20 something year old might need 30 something year old skin care as it is very personal person to person. Like they said, you cannot put into the brackets and what that age people use it will suit your skin. Determine your concerns/problems and then treat them and this is nothing to do with your age.
Video ideas:
Back acne washes? What causes it and how to treat it.
Any special care needed for people with beards? And beard oils that don’t cause pore clogging and oily skin.
Body wash ingredients that are good for hydrating skin.
What body moisturizers to avoid? (Back acne gets worse when I moisturize so I’m curious why)
Lip care? Lips keep getting extremely dry. Started using polysporin lip care at night and it’s helped but others might still have this issue.
Sorry for the long message. Started using retinoids because of the channel! Thanks again for all the great content.
Hi there! My bf has back acne and I’ve been helping him and this is what we do. Try an exfoliation body wash with a loofah and really get in there on some days. Or a normal body wash an a stronger body exfoliant 1-2 times per week. I’ve noticed he really doesn’t wash his back well and let’s sweat sit after the gym. You really need to make sure you shower frequently and actually scrub your body well. Scrub, gently, but just for longer than you normally do. You can even get back facials! Call any local salon who offers facials :) Basically what they will do is a cleansing, an exfoliation, extractions - don’t try at home, and moisturizer. Also the moisturizer you are using could be clogging your pores even more! It needs to be a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which basically means it won’t clog your pores. Hope this helps!
I noticed when I used to just use the Cetaphil (gentle) cleanser and Cetaphil moisturizer with spf my skin was perfect, now it's got a whole lot of issues with 10 steps. Definitely gonna go through my routine, thanks!
I went to a dermatologist and they gave me a skin care routine and I havent had acne in a while now! Am: Cetaphil pro foaming wash, and neutrogena hydroboost and neutrogena sunscreen.
Pm: cetaphil pro foam cleanser, adapalene .3 percent given by dermatologist, and neutrogena hydro boost gel cream.
Pm cetaphil pro
So genuinely it's
Cleanser
Treatment (any treatment that they said)
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Tip is consistens

LA MER!!!
Their concealer though I haven't found something that just blends so seamlessly for me.
I can’t love this channel enough!!! My mom spent a lot of time in Europe, so she was very aggressive in teaching me a skincare routine. I’ve dug and learned more over the years on my own. But now I have a teenage daughter. Teaching her to take care of her skin is so important! This channel is a one stop shop to find what she needs!!! Thank you so much!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Neutrogena clear pore the white bottle and the blue liquid one are the best. Both of those will keep your face very very clean. Try it out.
I’d love to see a video specifically on hyper pigmentation and for people with darker skin tones! Love all of your videos!!
I see they got 1 now
I would love to see a video on the really high end skincare lines, like La Mer, La Prairie , Guerlain , Dior. Are they really doing anything more for your skin than a drugstore line like Cerave or Neutrogena etc. love the videos.
I'm a cosmetic chemist and can tell you La Mer, Dior etc products are more hype than substance. You're better off saving your money by using CeraVe, Paula's Choice etc. Buy stuff with evidenced-based ingredients that suit your skin type, not the marketing.
@@zoeydeu2261 Thank you so much!
I tried some of those upper lines, and there wasn't a difference for me. Money wasted.
I am just here for Dr. Maxfield’s smile ... it lights up my day! A video on teeth whitening please🥰
Your guy's smiles are contagious 😅
Acne: have one or two ingredients for the first months
- Retinoid - best adapalene
- benzol peroxide
- salycilic acid - paula choice
- azelaic acid - the ordinary
- niacinamide- vitamin they would put in their face
Idea? Choosing good skincare for the eyes...anti aging, fine lines/wrinkles, dryness
I have learned so much from this channel. Thank you so much Dr Shah, & Dr Maxfield.
Thank you Brittany!!
PLS DO A VIDEO OR PART on light therapy! I have a high frequency wand and it’s literally helped me acne sooo much! I get hormonal acne so much and I feel enough ppl don’t know about this tool! LIFE SAVER!
I’m so confused about what cancel each other out or what can pair with each other for a morning routine and evening routine! Appreciate your channel!
Totally felt that "why does this person have perfect skin when he only washes his face with bar soap" 🥲🥲🥲
Yes
my boyfriend. soft, strong skin. hand soap.
My grandmother is 82 now and she has always washed her face with dove/olay bar soap 🧼 and she looks fantastic!
You guys have such a lovely genuine vibe, just makes me wanna be your friend🥺🥲❤️
I just discovered this channel and I love that if I don’t relate too a section of the video I can scroll and they have titles on each section which is something I haven’t seen before that is very helpful so thankyou guys 🖤🖤🖤
Why is Dr Max’s smile soo perfect! stop smiling! i can’t 🤩
As a family physician, I LOVE your videos! Plenty of science & data presented in a way that’s easy to understand & practical. You’re making this Jersey Girl proud!!
Keep up the great work, guys!
Btw, where is your practice?
Hey Y'all, white chick from Florida pushing towards 60yoa. Found out the growth hormones in dairy products were triggering terrible cystic acne especially along my chin. No I wasn't on any "change of life" hormones that compounded this issue...
So about 15 years ago I quit consuming any dairy products that weren't labeled as non growth hormone, my issue cleared up in a couple of months. So check your diet as you may be dealing with a reaction... Just sharing my history.
Peace and Love 💖
Globe is great, those plants in particular are meh (get something with a bit more gusto) and I think a cool painting/picture on the wall behind you guys would be awesome! Nothing too distracting, just a little color.
I used to think that dr shah was like using a face filter. His skins amazing.
You guys are a blessing to the whole skincare world.. Bless you both xx
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting these videos. I went off birth control after 10 years and experienced the WORST adult acne. After watching these videos I got all the recommended products and followed the routine and my face is now almost totally clean and clear after one week. I suffered for months with this until now
Hi there, I'm in the same boat 😢
Did you use all of the acne products (ie benzoyl, and salicylic etc)? Or just one or a few? Thank you 😊
Bliss Pro 11.8% AHA, BHA, PHA Liquid Exfoliant has everything ! Lactic etc. sensitive skin here and it causes no irritation.
When you said “I would go to the end of the world to treat your acne” 💕💕💕
Love that fact that you give great suggestions for all price ranges. Unfortunately we can not all get a referral to a Dermatologist..so we are stuck with using over the counter Retinals..So your recommendations are very helpful..
Cosmetic dermatology is not even covered by insurance. An appointment cost $400, and Retin A was $75 a tube.
I was too focused on how Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield smiled at each other than the decor. 😅
When I found out they were married it ruined my fantasy... :(
Are they married to each other ?
@@cosercoser no shit?!
Seriously??
@@nodrama2793 No.. apparently they are married to women... whaaat!!!. 😬
@@cosercoser tell me about it lol.
I’m a European aesthetician who truly enjoys you’re content ……. Thanks for your time!
Okay after tons of research & deciding which products would benefit my skin (hormonal acne, post flare hyperpigmentation, fine lines (in my early 30’s), and texture lol), this is the routine based on the Doctorly steps of Cleanse, Treat, Protect:
Day Time Routine
- [ ] 1. Cerave acne foaming cleanser 4% benzoyl peroxide. CLEANSE
- [ ] 2. 1x/wk or if broken out (pms 😒), Paula’s Choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant w/salicylic acid. TREAT
- [ ] 3. Vitamin c. TREAT
- [ ] 4. Vichy mineral 89 hylauronic acid (to plump). TREAT/PROTECT
- [ ] 5. Cetaphil oil absorbing moisturizer spf 30. PROTECT
- [ ] 6. Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50
Night time Routine
- [ ] 1. Adapalene (retinoid)
- [ ] 2. Niacinimide (Cerave PM moisturizer with niacinimide makes me break out. So I got the Differin 4% Niacinimide)
Hope this helps someone! 🙂
Nadia did u mention these products for oily skin or dry ??
Hey guys!
Loving the videos. Are you able to do a quick video on what is best for body skin care? Eg what kind of body wash do you recommend? Do you recommend loufahs, exfoliating gloves, brushes, etc? Do you recommend hand moisturisers etc?
Thanks!
Y’all have seriously changed my skin!! I’m finally over my Mario badesque phase lol
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
omg pls tell me your experience, i was about to jump onto mario!
@@Missmethinksalot1 I know this isn’t the other person’s experience but here’s mine. Around 6th grade, Mario started to become really big for its aesthetic. I tried out their rose water spray and nothing happened. When I tried their lavender spray though girl- I have bad cystic acne- I stopped using it and earlier this year I tried it again for two days and broke out with the worse acne ever
@@Missmethinksalot1 they're crappy products
@@Missmethinksalot1 I tried a Mario cleansing gel, cleansing lotion, then acne facial cleanser based off their online skin quiz in January 2018 and it did nothing. Switched back to Walmart bought neutrogena and it worked better. Then in January 2019 started Clinique acne solutions 3 step system (now have to buy step 3 from the uk and have it shipped here) and it works!
Looking forward to the hyperpigmentation video 🙏. Please address how to use ingredients to target pigmentation. I use tretinoin at night and Vit C in the morning along with sunscreen but I don't see improvement 😥
Do you exfoliate?
@@minervacarney3453 not often and only use chemical exfoliant like Paula's Choice BHA
I couldn't agree more with your statement on procedures. I wish more influencers and actresses would fess up about getting procedures. There is no shame in getting beauty procedures to feel good about yourself, just don't peddle lotions as the only way to treat aging skin.
Excellent video.
Maybe three months ago I noticed that my face was getting blotchy and I was developing little pits around my cheeks. I've never had perfect skin but its never been bad either but this was making me self conscious. I eat healthy, I work out, I change my sheets ( pillows included) weekly. I could probably stand to drink more water but its not that bad. After trying a few things on my own I sought out some help discovered you all. its been a bit over a month since I started my routine based on your suggestions. MAN OH MAN... I have seen a vast improvement the blotchy tones are smoothing out. The pitting ( which I was worried about the most) is starting to smooth out. Even my random acne which usually gives me a nice hard pimple once in a while hasn't shown up. I can't wait to see what three months will look like. For those wondering... I do the lactic acid ( ordinary ) in the am ( after I clean my face which is usually my own hand made soap), niacinamide ( ordinary), aveeno calm and restore moisturizer and finally a mineral sunscreen if I'm going out. in the PM cleanse again nia again moisturizer ink retinol/ eye retinol then moisturizer... I can't thank you two enough for your information. I was already depressed this did not help. Finally feeling like me again at least in this one aspect. THANK YOU!!!!
I’d love to see a video on milia! I’ve had it for years and it’s always bothered me 😕
Have you checked out gothamista, she did a video about milia 🙂
Happy Valentine's Day fellas! I always consider Dr. Shah the dermatologist and Dr. Maxfield the everything-ologist bc Dr. Shah's scrubs(?) always have dermatology underneath his name, but Dr. Maxfield's don't. This makes me now wonder if there is a smolder degree....
😂
I would love to see more anti aging, anti sagging, anti hyperpigmentation for over 60 folks. I’m not sure our thin older faces should use the same strength or same agents as the baby faced crowd.
I agree. More content on skin care for 40's, 50's, and 60+.
Simply saying anti-aging isn't specific enough.
I am going to create some on my channel for anti-aging. Hopefully they would be of use :)
guys, thank you for this. product information from the box and their site isnt enough. so much better hearing this from doctors. subscribed.
I started watching your content and extremely excited about taking this skin care journey. The fact is I should have been doing this. Unfortunately I haven’t been doing right by my skin. Recently, I have been watching your videos and incorporating some of your skin care routines and recommendations into my daily skin regimen. I must say that I have noticed a tremendous change with my skin texture. Thank you for sharing your stories and products. I look forward to seeing more videos!
Let's get a pregnancy safe routine with specific items available one high end and drugstore ☺️
Azelaic acid is safe! They mentioned it I. The video and multiple other videos
Dr Sheerene Idriss did a video on this subject on her channel :)
Pregnancy safe would be completely chemical free what about a face oil
@@SuperEwyatt technically everything is a chemical...Air/Water etc. A face oil can be damaging for the skin if you use it in the day (at night it's great) because it can disrupt the goodelivery of you sunscreen.
@@SuperEwyatt Literally everything on this planet && beyond is a chemical. Please don't spread misconceived/false information.
Would love to see a video where you guys give your take on peptides, that seems to be a hot ingredient lately in all the skincare ads but no clue if it actually does anything!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and thank you for promoting the use of affordable products that are beneficial and effective, as well as how to use them. Your content is practical, relatable and incredibly helpful! I really appreciate you both!
I found out that areas with hard water have a lot of "gunk" in them so.........after cleansing using regular tap water I spritz my face and neck and chest with distilled water. I love it. I don't have a clue whether we have hard water or not but just in case I use the distilled water. And distilled water is so cheap. Really makes my skin glow.
I am 73 years old and never did much in the way of skin care other than washing (never used toners), sunscreen (once I got beyond 30-before that, they did not recommend them as much) and moisturizers. All drug store brands-Aveeno and Olay mostly. I have now fallen down the rabbit hole of products. I just signed up for the monthly Curology and they have me on Niacinamide 4%, Tretinoin, 0.02% (on it since Dec. and they are sending me a stronger solution next month) and Tranexamic Acid 5%. I have so many serums and moisturizers because each time I see one advertised, it seems to be better than what I already have. lol I use a Vit. C serum in the morning. I never had any trouble with red skin or flaking with the Tretinoin-probably because I was using so many serums and oils and moisterizers! I too would love a video on layering and what to do in what order. Everyone you watch on RUclips has a different opinion. I love these guys because they are MD's and they talk about the science and they are soooooo cute! I have a lot of hyperpigmentation (I guess they are just old age spots) and I have very light skin. Sorry to ramble. Anyone have any opinions about the Curology subscription? Should I go to a dermatologist and get a Rx for Treninoin or stick with the Curology. New sub. here-LOVE you guys!
"When you look in the mirror in the morning, what horrible atrocities do you see?" 🤣
You two make watching skincare videos actually enjoyable.
Thank you guys for all your Skin videos! I work at Ulta as a prestige beauty advisor, and I love taking in all the skin knowledge! I like knowing that I'm actually helping someone with their skin.
Cannot thank my longtime dermatologist enough for helping me with educating me and other patience on simple and effective skin care routines. The key is patience, consistency and discipline. Thanks to her my skin is healthier at 48 than in my early 30s.
Shah ! I’m 51 and I’ve quit sunbathing when I was 30 in 2000 so that I could look as young as I do now . Aside that I eat healthy and I also work out and take vitamins. Love , claudia , austin Texas
the best skincare routine for the body would very appreciated , I have really dark underarms and I am very insecure about them . however I'm not tempted to use tumeric masks .
So basically its retinoids, vitamin c, naicinamide and spf. The rest are just extra..
Correct.
Vit c and SPF for day. Retinol 3-4 x per week, and niacinimide on alternate nights.
you guys are sooo watchable and I appreciate having science based information so I can make educated choices! Trying to get rid of hormonal chin acne and skin ageing; learning about retinols has changeddd the game. eased it into my routine and boom she glowing.
Before finding you two I was watching another dermatologist on RUclips (female). She has totally different recommendations but I’m trusting you two because you’ve really done your research.
I'm 26 from UK and I feel very lucky to have my mother pester me to wear suncream a lot when I was growing up. Might have gone a couple of years not using it in the winter and I've badly burnt only a couple of times in my life. I always wore it in the summer if I was going to be out. Now I use it if UV index is over 2, so cloudy/rainy, sunny whatever the weather. It was seen as "uncool" to wear it when I was in school and everyone would often be "showing off" their sunburns to get attention. There were many girls in my year that never wore it once even in the heat of summer. I didn't care though as I was told early about the dangers of the sun. Some of those girls from school that are my age now look 35+ so I'm so glad I took care of my skin and I'll never stop! Thank you for the tips guys just found your channel and love it :)
As a fun idea, I’d like to see you guys react to the American Psycho skincare scene lol.
that's brilliant
Love the idea! 😂
What is American Psycho? Isvitva new skincare brand like Inkey or The Ordinary? Something more akin to Curology??

How ?
Video on face moisturizers please? I feel like so many people struggle with finding a good moisturizer for their face ( I know I do)! 😂❤️ great video
This should be step one, the base when someone tries to improve / take better care of their skin.
Thank you for the awereness, and information. It was educational.
Panoxyl literally changed my life years ago. Literally I had acne so bad till this product along with salicylic acid.
I had bad acnes and troubled red face from around 12 years old. Then at like 20, about the time they used Justin Bieber as their model, I discovered ProActiv from one of their ad video on youtube featuring real successful cases, it changed my life. Glad to know Dr Shah was also a ProActiv kid. Thank you so much for changing the lives of probably millions with your channel!
Love the retinoid counter!
Thank you guys for this! You and the budget dermatologist RUclips page are amazing. I have battled inflammatory acne since I was a teen. Only recently have I been learning about an effective skincare routine. This is very helpful.
An idea:
Skin care for dry skin and what ingredients to avoid, same for sensitive red skin
Thank you for asking...
truely i'm so happy finding u guys thank u so much most of thechannels i've followed just drop coupleS of their products that they're using without saying why and what for . i really appreciat that u made me realise that the most important thing is to know the probleme i'm strugling with and the solution for that not putting random products
My dermatologist got me on some microneedling for my melasma, and after a couple of sessions I told her "not sure if its helping with the melasma, more than the results I am seeing with the topical products, but it is definitely helping reducing lines!"
