I harmed my skin barrier on my neck from accidentally leaving the Ordinary peel on one area of my lower neck too long. So just go slow and be careful! I had to go to the dermatologist and got a steroid shot, hydrocortisone cream as well as a course of oral prednisone. Not fun!
@@lynngleason4702 Exactly, I personally believe it's too strong for some people, I've heard some have become allergic or hypersensitive to the product when they weren't before. I don't want any chemical burns, that scarring can be very difficult to manage. Thank you for your sharing experience, I hope things are better for you now.
I would also add to this list the La Roche Posay Eczema Cream. It has panthenol in it as well as colloidal oatmeal, niacinamide, and petrolatum. I use it for helping my skin get through benzoyl peroxide and it’s fantastic. Sinks into the skin and is non-greasy.
Had to pause the video and comment. I just bought the la roshe posay cream yesterday based on a previous dr dray video. Applied it to my skin last night. Woke up this morning and could not believe the immediate calming effect it had. Currently dealing with a patch of itchy red bumpy skin. Very unsightly and uncomfortable. The cream reduced the redness as well as the irritation. Can’t wait to see the improvement as I continue to apply it. This is not the first product I’ve purchased on dr dray’s recommendation. She is a godsend for making these videos and imparting her knowledge on us. Listen to her folks!!

I was struggling with damaged skin barrier for over a month and couldn’t figure out the causes! After watching this video I purchased the la Roche posay product & aveeno cleanser, 3 days later it already made a HUGE difference. No more itchiness and dryness!!! Thank you Dr Dray! I have so many screenshots of products you reccomend my skin has changed immensely because of you!
That la Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 has literally worked miracles for my severely dry & itchy under eye skin. It’s my daily eye cream now! Thank you SO much Dr. Dray for this recommendation, it seriously saved my under eyes!
Tip for those where these products are not readily available, there is a tube ointment called bepanthen that is widely available globally. Some people use it to heal burns and wounds, (get the one with the blue stripe for face as the others are too thick and used for nappy rashes and burns) its produced by Bayer company. Also if you look for local drug companies a lot of them produce it for very cheap under the generic name panthenol.
This video is perfect for me! My skin barrier is damaged right know😔 I am 51 year old and with menopause my skin became very sensitive even with mild products...thank you for sharing have a nice day😀😜✌
I had for YEARS used really bad skin products (physical scrubs, peel off masks, etc..). My face just became more and more irritated (I constantly looked flushed), but it was gradual, so I never noticed, and and I have always flushed when it was hot out/when exercising. It took a coworker printout how red my face was (in the dead of winter and not having worked out prior to work that day, so no "reason" for my face to have looked flushed) for me to actually notice it myself (and to see how dry my skin was too). That was only earlier this year. It's been 6ish months, and while my face is still a bit flushed, it's so much better. I immediately stopped with the scrubs and switched from a moisturizing lotion to a cream (with niacinamide). Major thanks to Dr. Dray for putting out these videos, I have learned so much, and I firmly believe that she/her videos saved my face.
Here in Brazil panthenol became very popular in 2010s due to the natural hair movement, a lot of brands released hair care lines focused on it and other brands started to offer panthenol for a more accessible price. Now it’s way easier to find it as cream, liquid, lip balms, spray, etc.
Well, no wonder I love Cetaphil Redness Relief so much! My 19 year old daughter, who has acne, loves it too. I bought it because of your recommendation from about two years ago. Thanks!
The Ordinary Amino Acids and B5 made my face break out. But after watching this video I got an idea. I now use it on the dry, dull, frizzy top layer of my hair. A few drops messaged between my palms and patted onto the damaged hair area smooths out the frizz and makes my hair shiny.
I had super bad hand eczema and your advice (plus a visit to a derm and a class I steroid) have almost completely repaired the barrier on my hands in a little over a month! Your advice is excellent, especially when it comes to preparing questions for Dr. visits and finding products that work.
The biggest things I started doing from this channel were using theraplex barrier balm after washing my hands, doing dishes, etc while they were still damp and after showering putting on either my steroid ointment or the cerave healing ointment then clean white cotton gloves (had the okay from my derm to sleep with the gloves over the steroid). The theraplex barrier balm was a huge win since it's much less sticky than vaseline, which the derm had recommended for the same use but it's occlusive enough to seal in moisture and protect my hands after an irritating hand wash or exposure. Recently also integrated the cicaplast balm she mentions in this video and it's been great for daytime use.
I went crazy with exfoliation with PC BHA. My skin was red, inflammed, scaly, tight and more pimples formed. I knew my skin was compromised. I used Cicplast and next day my skin was so much better! Overnight healing literally-about 80% improvement.
@@pegb8739 If you're going to try it, bear in mind that panthenol is very low (sometimes last) on the ingredients list. I'd say it's been thrown in as a token gesture. I use Pantene shampoo and it does an ok job of controlling frizz and imparting a gloss, but that's down to the silicone, not the panthenol.
Peg B I just started using the Pantene hair mousse and it has definitely made my hair smoother and softer! I use Tresemme Ultra Hydration shampoo. No panthenol but it has ceramides . It’s one of the best shampoos I’ve used , and I’ve tried many!
I’m a skin care freak.. I have always wanted to have knowledge about the skincare in depth but never has anyone described the way you explain things in your video for free.. you are just god send!! also I’m from India, so I can’t even make a purchase from your links. That’s why I like and comment your videos.. the best I can do!! Thank you Doctor angel!!
For those distancing yourselves from phenoxyethanol Etude House Soon Jung 5 Cica Balm has panthenol and centella and no phenoxyethanol. When I used the LRP version it was good for a while then it started to burn. I tried to use it on hand wounds and it burned them, too. The EH version is very creamy and soothing.
Love this one. I use the la roche posay b5 Baume and I love it. Buy 2-3 to have on hand since my pharmacy is normally low. Thanks for another great video Dr. Dray.
Thanks Dr Dray for advice on dry, red, sensitive skin. Have started your regimen of CeraVe body cleansing plus many other items you speak about. After a couple weeks I can definitely see and feel improvement. Even my rosacea has calmed down. Your a 🌟 Star!
My mom has rosacea and I recently got her the Cetaphil redness daytime and nighttime moisturizers. She’s been loving them and it’s calmed down her redness.
have you tried a caffeine serum ? Buy an inexpensive one from The Ordinary and use it across the full cheek area - it really reduced the redness for me. Also Niacinamide and Zinc should really help with the redness and inflammation (both can be used together, under moisturiser and spf etc)
Using Bepanthen Anti Itch Cream and SensiDaily Moisturizer. The former, I think is superior but both are great moisturizer with Panthenol on the top of the ingredient list.
Here I am, layering skincare hours before bed ☺️ (because Dr Dray recommended so!), applying hyaluronic acid serum and then panthenol, but mine isn't really fancy (it's apothecary one) 😁 I believe my skin absorbs everything better while I am watching these videos 😁 Lots of hugs from Austria 🥰
Two I've found to be amazing is the Curel Intensive Moisture cream (Japanese version) and SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream from Etude House. The SoonJung cream's main focus is panthenol, while the Curel one is more glycerin/allantoin/squalane focused.
I just - just!!! - got La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 today (from Amazon). Great synchronicity! And, I was wondering about your thoughts on it. And, then, boom, I came online here! I'm getting over shingles, and I thought this might help.
I have been using Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for my face and body. It has B5 (Panthenol) in it alongside some other simple moisturizing ingredients. It is the only moisturizer I've tried that hasn't irritated my skin. And cheap! I have rosacea and acne-prone sensitive skin for the reference.
Thank you for this helpful tips, Dr. Gray. Hope you can make a video about hair color and henna for covering gray hair. How to protect hair from getting damaged from constant hair coloring? Thank you in advance. Love from Japan. 🇯🇵
I put a few drops of the ordinary amino acid and Panthenol serum through my hair when it’s damp and let it dry . It’s so brilliant as it adds such a shine and makes my hair look so healthy
Thank you Dr Dray! This video was so helpful. I have severe eczema/dermatitis and I've really been struggling with the eczema and redness on my face and neck. I've noticed the the LRP cicaplast baume is the ONLY product that takes some of that redness away. I wasn't sure what ingredient was helping but I think it might be the Panthenol. However I go through the tiny tube in 2 weeks, so I wondered what other products might work similarly, until watching this video. Can't wait to try these, thank you again!
I’m in the process of fixing my skin barrier. I’m 2 weeks in, and my skin has never looked better. Im using… nothing. For the first time in 8 years, my skin is looking clear, smooth and soft, and I’ve done it by using absolutely nothing except warm water. No moisturiser, face wash, nothing.
I've been using the Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Cream and it's been amazing for the night time. Has panthenol, Madecassoside, shea butter and sunflower seed oil. Such a perfect combo.
No wonder why the cream I was using healed my skin barrier so quickly after tretinoin irritated the skin around my mouth pretty badly. I just used Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream with colloidal oatmeal and ceramides. Panthenol is the third ingredient in this product. It has helped so, so much!
I’m so fortunate. Because of you and my Dermatologist,I never had the peeling and dryness with the use of Tretinoin. I followed your advises… My skin is so soft and supple. I feels like a baby. I’m 56 and I have glass like skin. Can’t thank you enough! I just bought the Procure Rosacare Serum.I liked that it has licorice root in it too.
My mothers face and chest skin was very damaged from her teen days sunbathing in the roof of her home with mirrors (that was a thing in the 70s) and I swear her skin has gotten way better only using sunscreen in the past 2 years. I am happy my nagging her to use it has shown great results. ✌🏻
Happy Wednesday! I can vouch for both LRP Cicaplast B5 and the Cetaphil Night moisturizers . They are excellent if you have any skin irritation from Retin A . They work as described. Wonderful products .
Thank you so much for this video! It was just what I needed. I am having a mild rosacea flare and damaged skin barrier due to using the wrong products. After watching this video I ordered the LRP Cica B5 balm from Target and picked it up in the afternoon. I used it last night and it provided so much relief! My skin feels so much better and looks less irritated after one use. I am using it again today under my sunscreen. Again, thank you!
LRP Cicaplast = hands down; a cica cream that is sent from heaven. I've been using it for 5 years, still in love with it and never laid my eyes on other cica- products! Truly a saviour during the ugly days of post fractional laser treatments.
Thanks for making me love sunscreen. I'm really into it now because I'm a skincare junkie and now have a small but growing collection of products with SPF in them.
So the only product out of these that I have used is the cetafil redness relief and I LOVE it!! Saw a significant difference after only the first use!Been using for about a month now. Can't wait to try out some of these others.
I’ve been using Eucerin Baby wash and shampoo and the baby lotion ever since I saw it in one of your sensitive skin videos and my skin loves it!( just didn’t love the face mask everyday:( ) but the lotion has B5 in it too and it helps my rosacea.
I've been dealing with redness on my cheeks for a while. I spent a lot of time walking my dog in the wind and cold over the winter, so maybe that did it. I've always had some sort of malar type of rash for years. So I tried the La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 Balm and I kid you not, my redness mostly resolved in two days. A little goes a long way. Thanks so much!
I myself love panthenol & centella asiatica. One of my faves that contains this is the Soon Jung Cica balm panthensoside. It’s so hydrating I calming but almost light and water gel type of moisturizer idk it’s fantastic and I love it. My skin is sensitive and has been acne prone and I do use tretinoin to combat the acne & anti-aging so this helps me so much. 💓
Nada Fadhil yes I LOVE The Cosrx propolis synergy toner and it’s so hydrating. I also enjoy the Etude House Soon Jung relief toner, the Good Molecules Niacinamide toner, the Laneige hydrating toner and those are the main ones I love.
I have skin burn on both of my cheeks, underneath the eyes. I am on fire. I just both Cetaphil gentle cleanser and Cetaphil Deep Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cleanser. It helped very little. I am glad to have found this video on RUclips. Just purchased the DML Forte with Panthenol, 4 oz. from Amazon. Suppose to arrive by 1/18/2022. Can't wait to get it soon, so I can apply it on my burned cheeks. Thanks for the video.
My skin is all messed up around my nose from Tretinoin. I bought the Cerave redness & it seems to help, but it will take awhile. Hard to find though. Thank you Dr. Dray for helping me.
I took 3 courses of Accutane in my late teens and early 20s and my skin is always so incredibly dry now. I moisturize like it’s my full time job, but I still felt like nothing was helping as much as I needed. On your recommendation, I purchased the La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm and it’s the best. I finally found the product that feels like it’s helping to repair my skin. I use it all over my face at night and it’s making me so happy. Thank you!
Would you consider doing a video addressing impaired skin barrier/dry irritated skin of the body? I’d love you see what product recommendations you have.
could you do skin barrier recommendations that are 100% cruelty free? i believe the only brand out of your recommendations that didn’t test on animals and/or test with third parties was the paula’s choice product.
strolled over to see the ingredient list of cerave healing ointment I ordered based on dr dray rec, what do I see, panthenol, wow, it's arriving tomorrow, can't wait
Moisturize your skin while it’s damp I also use Tret and doing that has helped so much. I also use a little Shea butter on my skin sometimes and that works amazing with helping with dryness
LRP Cicaplast is great. I also use atopalm 10% panthenol cream. I used to feel tingling/heat on my face with tretinoin but with this cream I feel nothing and get no redness or irritation. Cosrx panthenol cream has good reviews but I haven't used it. It's also 10% panthenol.
@@franceskennedy2938 how do you use LRP with tret? As a buffer before tret or after? I've been using LRP Cicaplast for 5 years and still in love with it. I have acne prone skin. And I'm gonna start my first ever tret 0.05. I haven't even unboxed it lol as I'm quite nervous and (now) excited to see that cicaplast works wonder for tret users. TIA for answering my question :)
For the Europeans: Eucerin Dermopure Therapiebegleitende Feuchtigkeitspflege not only has Panthenol, but also Cermides and Licorice. No alcohol, no fragrance, no oils, lightweight but very moisturising.
I quite enjoy the PC HA BOOSTER. It is the most elegant HA serum I have ever tried and feels so good on the skin. $36 isn't that bad either when you compare it too other "luxury" brands..... such as the Dr. Barbara Sterm HA.
Dear Dr Dray your videos helped me so much to understand what's going with my skin! I've been going from doctor to doctor with everyone attempting treating for eczema or contact dermatitis (read a lot of steroids!) which was only worsening the situation and further affecting my quality of life. I'm truly thankful for the content you create and share❤
“If you just have skin..” lol dr. You crack me up! Thank you for real though, I struggle to find a moisturizer that won’t break me out or make my acne worse.
I keep getting these awful reactions/rashes around my neck, usually brought on by physical activity & stress. Once the initial itchiness is over, the skin is dry, red and quite painful for days. Been taking Aveeno baths, using their moisturizers, anti-histamines, cold showers… it’s just excruciating. I’m going to smoke a joint, walk to the pharmacy and check out those 3 particular products (LaRoche, and the other 2)… I screenshot them, as to not forget 👍🏼
Thanks so much for this! Per your recommendation, I started using the CeraVe Night Moisturizer and in two days I can notice a positive change. My skin was dry, irritated due to over exfoliation, and red. I think this is helping.
I have a super red flaky skin, and can I just say I’ve used an entire bottle of the amino acids B5 from the ordinary and I’ve never noticed a difference in my skin and the whole bottle is gone, wasn’t good for me.this video was very helpful tho!!! Thank you
I used a new AHA exfoliant and it’s destroyed my skin barrier. It’s slowly getting better but the redness just seems never ending 😭 want my normal skin back
Best doctor in the world. Love this video. Totally useful info. Saved my skin on my face. Unfortunately, I have the worst eczema on my body from allergy shots and cat allergies. Im so depressed 😭. I also have urticaria because I refuse to take zyzal. Zyzal is the devil. Once I stop using consistently for a year, I developed serious itching. Im not sure if it's the allergy shot or after I took zyzal. It's a nightmare. My allergist keeps prescribing antihistamines but im taking Zoloft and all antihistamines make you feel depressed, angry, tired 24 hours and confused. I don't get rashes on my face and front torso just my legs, arms and butt. I just don't know what to do.
I have lymphadema (my lymphatic fluids pass through my skin, not fun at all) and it has caused a lot of damage. I think this information will help me heal my skin.
Aaaaahhhhh I was waiting Fir you to Post!!! I've been in Love with Your Videos!!! Can you please make a video where you tell us if We can use Aha (Glycolic acid Face wash and Benzoyl Peroxide cream, one after the other? The more I see your videos the more i realize I KNOW NOTHING. WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT YOU AND CASSANDRA. I AM SO LOST TRYING to figure out if I have malessizia or comedone 😭😭😭
Dr. Dray, I’ve heard you mention panthenol many times when you are out shopping or talking about a specific product but never knew anything about it except that it’s moisturizing. Thanks! I ordered the DML.
If anyone was interested, Simple has two fragrance-free moisturisers with bisabolol (rich in panthenol) - Hydrating Light Moisturiser and Replenishing Rich Moisturiser. Affordable, and easily accessible in the US, UK, and Australia.
I used to feel that I had an impaired skin barrier, but it seems like moisturizing and wearing sunscreen more has done wonders.
👍👍

It took a coworker printout how red my face was (in the dead of winter and not having worked out prior to work that day, so no "reason" for my face to have looked flushed) for me to actually notice it myself (and to see how dry my skin was too). That was only earlier this year. It's been 6ish months, and while my face is still a bit flushed, it's so much better. I immediately stopped with the scrubs and switched from a moisturizing lotion to a cream (with niacinamide). Major thanks to Dr. Dray for putting out these videos, I have learned so much, and I firmly believe that she/her videos saved my face.
thank you for clarifying that panthenol is not a bad ingredient Happy Wensaday💖
thanks for watching
@@DrDrayzday Hey Dr Dray! Some of us were wondering if you would still recommend Krave Beauty's Great Barrier Relief at this point in time? 💛💐
Here in Brazil panthenol became very popular in 2010s due to the natural hair movement, a lot of brands released hair care lines focused on it and other brands started to offer panthenol for a more accessible price. Now it’s way easier to find it as cream, liquid, lip balms, spray, etc.
Well, no wonder I love Cetaphil Redness Relief so much! My 19 year old daughter, who has acne, loves it too. I bought it because of your recommendation from about two years ago. Thanks!
The Ordinary Amino Acids and B5 made my face break out. But after watching this video I got an idea. I now use it on the dry, dull, frizzy top layer of my hair. A few drops messaged between my palms and patted onto the damaged hair area smooths out the frizz and makes my hair shiny.
Wow thank you for this! This stuff makes me break out too and I wasn’t sure what to do with it this really helps :)
I had super bad hand eczema and your advice (plus a visit to a derm and a class I steroid) have almost completely repaired the barrier on my hands in a little over a month! Your advice is excellent, especially when it comes to preparing questions for Dr. visits and finding products that work.
Please share the products that you use ... will be super helpful
Hi Katherine, please share the list of products you have used
The biggest things I started doing from this channel were using theraplex barrier balm after washing my hands, doing dishes, etc while they were still damp and after showering putting on either my steroid ointment or the cerave healing ointment then clean white cotton gloves (had the okay from my derm to sleep with the gloves over the steroid). The theraplex barrier balm was a huge win since it's much less sticky than vaseline, which the derm had recommended for the same use but it's occlusive enough to seal in moisture and protect my hands after an irritating hand wash or exposure. Recently also integrated the cicaplast balm she mentions in this video and it's been great for daytime use.
i'd leave the cotton gloves on overnight btw
@@kitkat1995032 thanks so much 🙏
The plant is dancing in the background 🙃
Now that's all I'm looking at
This video came right on time. My skin has been acting a fool these past couple days. 🥴
hope things improve
Dr Dray can u do a updated skin barrier routine ?
I went crazy with exfoliation with PC BHA. My skin was red, inflammed, scaly, tight and more pimples formed. I knew my skin was compromised. I used Cicplast and next day my skin was so much better! Overnight healing literally-about 80% improvement.
DML Forte, to this day, remains the BEST moisturizer I’ve ever used. Thanks again for the recommendation!!
I am loving Paula's choice omega plus serum. Now that I'm on the 0.1% tretinoin, I find this moisturizer lightweight yet incredibly moisturizing.
The Pantene Pro V series of shampoos and conditioners also contain panthenol.
@@pegb8739 If you're going to try it, bear in mind that panthenol is very low (sometimes last) on the ingredients list.
I'd say it's been thrown in as a token gesture.
I use Pantene shampoo and it does an ok job of controlling frizz and imparting a gloss, but that's down to the silicone, not the panthenol.
Peg B I just started using the Pantene hair mousse and it has definitely made my hair smoother and softer! I use Tresemme Ultra Hydration shampoo. No panthenol but it has ceramides . It’s one of the best shampoos I’ve used , and I’ve tried many!
I’m a skin care freak.. I have always wanted to have knowledge about the skincare in depth but never has anyone described the way you explain things in your video for free.. you are just god send!! also I’m from India, so I can’t even make a purchase from your links. That’s why I like and comment your videos.. the best I can do!! Thank you Doctor angel!!
For those distancing yourselves from phenoxyethanol Etude House Soon Jung 5 Cica Balm has panthenol and centella and no phenoxyethanol. When I used the LRP version it was good for a while then it started to burn. I tried to use it on hand wounds and it burned them, too. The EH version is very creamy and soothing.
Love this one. I use the la roche posay b5 Baume and I love it. Buy 2-3 to have on hand since my pharmacy is normally low. Thanks for another great video Dr. Dray.
Thanks Dr Dray for advice on dry, red, sensitive skin. Have started your regimen of CeraVe body cleansing plus many other items you speak about. After a couple weeks I can definitely see and feel improvement. Even my rosacea has calmed down. Your a 🌟 Star!
My mom has rosacea and I recently got her the Cetaphil redness daytime and nighttime moisturizers. She’s been loving them and it’s calmed down her redness.
have you tried a caffeine serum ? Buy an inexpensive one from The Ordinary and use it across the full cheek area - it really reduced the redness for me. Also Niacinamide and Zinc should really help with the redness and inflammation (both can be used together, under moisturiser and spf etc)
Brian P I will definitely look into them! Thank you for the info.
azelaic acid is very good for redness
Using Bepanthen Anti Itch Cream and SensiDaily Moisturizer. The former, I think is superior but both are great moisturizer with Panthenol on the top of the ingredient list.
Bepanthen for me too
Here I am, layering skincare hours before bed ☺️ (because Dr Dray recommended so!), applying hyaluronic acid serum and then panthenol, but mine isn't really fancy (it's apothecary one) 😁 I believe my skin absorbs everything better while I am watching these videos 😁 Lots of hugs from Austria 🥰
Two I've found to be amazing is the Curel Intensive Moisture cream (Japanese version) and SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream from Etude House. The SoonJung cream's main focus is panthenol, while the Curel one is more glycerin/allantoin/squalane focused.
I just - just!!! - got La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 today (from Amazon). Great synchronicity! And, I was wondering about your thoughts on it. And, then, boom, I came online here! I'm getting over shingles, and I thought this might help.
I have been using Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for my face and body. It has B5 (Panthenol) in it alongside some other simple moisturizing ingredients. It is the only moisturizer I've tried that hasn't irritated my skin. And cheap! I have rosacea and acne-prone sensitive skin for the reference.
Thank you for this helpful tips, Dr. Gray. Hope you can make a video about hair color and henna for covering gray hair. How to protect hair from getting damaged from constant hair coloring?
Thank you in advance.
Love from Japan. 🇯🇵
She has videos on that. Search for them
@@luciagarcia5272 did Dr. Gray talked about Henna to cover gray hair?
I went to target today and spent so much longer trying to remember everything in your videos haha, thank you for the breadth of knowledge!
Happy Wednesday! Love your videos, been watching them daily!
Glad you like them!
hope you all have a great Wednesday! xo
Thanks Tony J enjoy the day 😀
God bless u ❤️❤️
Happy Wednesday!
Note to self, use products with: Panthenol, provitamin B5, Butanamide, Alpha Panthothenyl alcohol ☺️
Love from Canada 🇨🇦.
Great video, needed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nivea cream is also good. It is really good for dry and sensitive skin. It has panthenol and glycerin in it
Are you referring to the fragrance-free version?
Because original Nivea is heavily fragranced, and we know how Dr Dray feels about fragrance...
I put a few drops of the ordinary amino acid and Panthenol serum through my hair when it’s damp and let it dry . It’s so brilliant as it adds such a shine and makes my hair look so healthy
what's the brand?
@@talksolot the Ordinary amino acids serum it’s wonderful
@@dannyleeds1132 it's for skin, but you use it for hair and it works? great! i will try that too. thanks
Thank you Dr Dray! This video was so helpful. I have severe eczema/dermatitis and I've really been struggling with the eczema and redness on my face and neck. I've noticed the the LRP cicaplast baume is the ONLY product that takes some of that redness away. I wasn't sure what ingredient was helping but I think it might be the Panthenol. However I go through the tiny tube in 2 weeks, so I wondered what other products might work similarly, until watching this video. Can't wait to try these, thank you again!
I’m in the process of fixing my skin barrier. I’m 2 weeks in, and my skin has never looked better. Im using… nothing. For the first time in 8 years, my skin is looking clear, smooth and soft, and I’ve done it by using absolutely nothing except warm water. No moisturiser, face wash, nothing.
I've been using the Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Cream and it's been amazing for the night time. Has panthenol, Madecassoside, shea butter and sunflower seed oil. Such a perfect combo.
This stuff looks great! Thanks for commenting 😀
No wonder why the cream I was using healed my skin barrier so quickly after tretinoin irritated the skin around my mouth pretty badly. I just used Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream with colloidal oatmeal and ceramides. Panthenol is the third ingredient in this product. It has helped so, so much!
The amount of content u post is amazing... impressive . Idk how u do it.. of u work too thats insane !! Ur such a hard worker!
Happy Wednesday!
You too!!
I’m so fortunate. Because of you and my Dermatologist,I never had the peeling and dryness with the use of Tretinoin. I followed your advises… My skin is so soft and supple. I feels like a baby. I’m 56 and I have glass like skin. Can’t thank you enough! I just bought the Procure Rosacare Serum.I liked that it has licorice root in it too.
My mothers face and chest skin was very damaged from her teen days sunbathing in the roof of her home with mirrors (that was a thing in the 70s) and I swear her skin has gotten way better only using sunscreen in the past 2 years. I am happy my nagging her to use it has shown great results. ✌🏻
May I know what brand of sunscreen?
Quickly became one of my fave youtubers! Super informative videos, great subtle humor, and you’re a hustler posting every single day 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨
Happy Wednesday! I can vouch for both LRP Cicaplast B5 and the Cetaphil Night moisturizers .
They are excellent if you have any skin irritation from Retin A .
They work as described. Wonderful products .
Thank you so much for this video! It was just what I needed. I am having a mild rosacea flare and damaged skin barrier due to using the wrong products. After watching this video I ordered the LRP Cica B5 balm from Target and picked it up in the afternoon. I used it last night and it provided so much relief! My skin feels so much better and looks less irritated after one use. I am using it again today under my sunscreen. Again, thank you!
I put retin-A on my neck last night. I feel like I have a terrible sun burn. Thank you for this information!
LRP Cicaplast = hands down; a cica cream that is sent from heaven. I've been using it for 5 years, still in love with it and never laid my eyes on other cica- products! Truly a saviour during the ugly days of post fractional laser treatments.
Please do a video all about licorice root!! Love your content 😍💗
Thanks for making me love sunscreen. I'm really into it now because I'm a skincare junkie and now have a small but growing collection of products with SPF in them.
I use Krave beauty’s great barrier relief when my skins looking red/ irritated. And I love it!
omg, "if you have dry skin, if you have non oily skin if you just have skin these are also great" , best sentence ever
Yep, I like that one too and hopefully we all have skin! :-)
So the only product out of these that I have used is the cetafil redness relief and I LOVE it!! Saw a significant difference after only the first use!Been using for about a month now. Can't wait to try out some of these others.
Do you use it morning and pm?
@@larsnootbaarfann i use it at night
I’ve been using Eucerin Baby wash and shampoo and the baby lotion ever since I saw it in one of your sensitive skin videos and my skin loves it!( just didn’t love the face mask everyday:( ) but the lotion has B5 in it too and it helps my rosacea.
love the cetaphil redness relief, been using that one for months now. I can really tell it helps make my skin less red
I've been dealing with redness on my cheeks for a while. I spent a lot of time walking my dog in the wind and cold over the winter, so maybe that did it. I've always had some sort of malar type of rash for years. So I tried the La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 Balm and I kid you not, my redness mostly resolved in two days. A little goes a long way. Thanks so much!
I hope you make it to one million soon, your advice has improved my skin tremendously Dr.Dray 🥺❤️❤️
I myself love panthenol & centella asiatica. One of my faves that contains this is the Soon Jung Cica balm panthensoside. It’s so hydrating I calming but almost light and water gel type of moisturizer idk it’s fantastic and I love it. My skin is sensitive and has been acne prone and I do use tretinoin to combat the acne & anti-aging so this helps me so much. 💓
do you use any hydrating toner? i have damaged my moisture barrier and looking for good toners :(
Nada Fadhil yes I LOVE The Cosrx propolis synergy toner and it’s so hydrating. I also enjoy the Etude House Soon Jung relief toner, the Good Molecules Niacinamide toner, the Laneige hydrating toner and those are the main ones I love.
Came here to recommend the Soon Jung range, glad you already had it covered! The Cica Balm is my fave product too, really underrated
Rowan Ezra yes absolutely love it!! ❤️
Do u use tretinion before moisturizer or after it ?
I have skin burn on both of my cheeks, underneath the eyes. I am on fire. I just both Cetaphil gentle cleanser and Cetaphil Deep Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cleanser. It helped very little. I am glad to have found this video on RUclips. Just purchased the DML Forte with Panthenol, 4 oz. from Amazon. Suppose to arrive by 1/18/2022. Can't wait to get it soon, so I can apply it on my burned cheeks. Thanks for the video.
Happy Wednesday Dr Dray and everyone another wonderful video 👍have a lovely day love to mom and Tybee 💖💖🤗
Happy Wednesday!
Dr. Dray ., I have learned so much since watching your videos.,, your a wealth of knowledge that will always be my go to
Seeing your mug 😄- My mind went straight to singing. "CAUSE WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS , RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE"❤️
Christmas in July!
So far 2020 has been a trainwreck so we might aswell skip to december right now😂😂😂😂
My skin is all messed up around my nose from Tretinoin. I bought the Cerave redness & it seems to help, but it will take awhile. Hard to find though. Thank you Dr. Dray for helping me.
Very informative! Love those earrings, and bought them after seeing them on you. I have been an Ana Luisa fan since you first featured the company!
I took 3 courses of Accutane in my late teens and early 20s and my skin is always so incredibly dry now. I moisturize like it’s my full time job, but I still felt like nothing was helping as much as I needed. On your recommendation, I purchased the La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm and it’s the best. I finally found the product that feels like it’s helping to repair my skin. I use it all over my face at night and it’s making me so happy. Thank you!
Would you consider doing a video addressing impaired skin barrier/dry irritated skin of the body? I’d love you see what product recommendations you have.
She has a video on winter skincare tips, where she recommends body moisturisers suitable for dry skin
could you do skin barrier recommendations that are 100% cruelty free? i believe the only brand out of your recommendations that didn’t test on animals and/or test with third parties was the paula’s choice product.
strolled over to see the ingredient list of cerave healing ointment I ordered based on dr dray rec, what do I see, panthenol, wow, it's arriving tomorrow, can't wait
The CeraVe healing ointment is a great product!
@@cathyvictor507 yes! i filled a couple small jars I've emptied and will take everywhere with me lol
Perfect timing! tretenoin is drying out of my skin a LOT and I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to calm down.
@ Monica Newton: I had this problem too and the LRP Cicaplast worked wonders.
Moisturize your skin while it’s damp I also use Tret and doing that has helped so much. I also use a little Shea butter on my skin sometimes and that works amazing with helping with dryness
Have you tried CeraVe?
Ceramides are great for strengthening the skin barrier.
LRP Cicaplast is great. I also use atopalm 10% panthenol cream. I used to feel tingling/heat on my face with tretinoin but with this cream I feel nothing and get no redness or irritation. Cosrx panthenol cream has good reviews but I haven't used it. It's also 10% panthenol.
@@franceskennedy2938 how do you use LRP with tret? As a buffer before tret or after? I've been using LRP Cicaplast for 5 years and still in love with it. I have acne prone skin. And I'm gonna start my first ever tret 0.05. I haven't even unboxed it lol as I'm quite nervous and (now) excited to see that cicaplast works wonder for tret users. TIA for answering my question :)
Happy Wednesday! Thank you for all the amazing advice you give; you have saved my skin!
You are so welcome!
For the Europeans: Eucerin Dermopure Therapiebegleitende Feuchtigkeitspflege not only has Panthenol, but also Cermides and Licorice. No alcohol, no fragrance, no oils, lightweight but very moisturising.
Great tip! I think it's called Dermopurifyer Oil Control Adjunctive Soothing Cream as well, at least in the north of Europe. 💕
@@christineo7930 Yes! The INCIS are the same. Strangely enough it's even more affordable than the German version. Thank you :)
I quite enjoy the PC HA BOOSTER. It is the most elegant HA serum I have ever tried and feels so good on the skin. $36 isn't that bad either when you compare it too other "luxury" brands..... such as the Dr. Barbara Sterm HA.
Dear Dr Dray your videos helped me so much to understand what's going with my skin! I've been going from doctor to doctor with everyone attempting treating for eczema or contact dermatitis (read a lot of steroids!) which was only worsening the situation and further affecting my quality of life. I'm truly thankful for the content you create and share❤
Good mornings! Good day!
Happy Wednesday!
Love this Video! I’m gonna buy the COSRX B5 D-PANTHENOL Cream 😍
“If you just have skin..” lol dr. You crack me up! Thank you for real though, I struggle to find a moisturizer that won’t break me out or make my acne worse.
I keep getting these awful reactions/rashes around my neck, usually brought on by physical activity & stress. Once the initial itchiness is over, the skin is dry, red and quite painful for days.
Been taking Aveeno baths, using their moisturizers, anti-histamines, cold showers… it’s just excruciating.
I’m going to smoke a joint, walk to the pharmacy and check out those 3 particular products (LaRoche, and the other 2)… I screenshot them, as to not forget 👍🏼
Thanks so much for this! Per your recommendation, I started using the CeraVe Night Moisturizer and in two days I can notice a positive change. My skin was dry, irritated due to over exfoliation, and red. I think this is helping.
Is it called cerave Pm?
@@kristinas5714 yes. sorry, i wrote the wrong item. Yes the CeraVE PM moisturizer is correct.
I have a super red flaky skin, and can I just say I’ve used an entire bottle of the amino acids B5 from the ordinary and I’ve never noticed a difference in my skin and the whole bottle is gone, wasn’t good for me.this video was very helpful tho!!! Thank you
I used a new AHA exfoliant and it’s destroyed my skin barrier. It’s slowly getting better but the redness just seems never ending 😭 want my normal skin back
Same :( do you find you flush red easily too?
I love how informative your videos are! I am going to try one of these for my skin issues caused by a nerve condition I have!
"Perseverate." Part of why I love this channel.
Thank you Dr Dray, my skin is extremely irritated at the moment and this advice really helps
Best doctor in the world. Love this video. Totally useful info. Saved my skin on my face. Unfortunately, I have the worst eczema on my body from allergy shots and cat allergies. Im so depressed 😭. I also have urticaria because I refuse to take zyzal. Zyzal is the devil. Once I stop using consistently for a year, I developed serious itching. Im not sure if it's the allergy shot or after I took zyzal. It's a nightmare. My allergist keeps prescribing antihistamines but im taking Zoloft and all antihistamines make you feel depressed, angry, tired 24 hours and confused. I don't get rashes on my face and front torso just my legs, arms and butt. I just don't know what to do.
I have lymphadema (my lymphatic fluids pass through my skin, not fun at all) and it has caused a lot of damage. I think this information will help me heal my skin.
Aaaaahhhhh I was waiting Fir you to Post!!!
I've been in Love with Your Videos!!!
Can you please make a video where you tell us if We can use Aha (Glycolic acid Face wash and Benzoyl Peroxide cream, one after the other?
The more I see your videos the more i realize I KNOW NOTHING. WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT YOU AND CASSANDRA. I AM SO LOST TRYING to figure out if I have malessizia or comedone 😭😭😭
I LOVE YOUR "HEY GUYS" HEHEHEHEH TAKE CARE!!!
Dr. Dray, I’ve heard you mention panthenol many times when you are out shopping or talking about a specific product but never knew anything about it except that it’s moisturizing. Thanks! I ordered the DML.
If anyone was interested, Simple has two fragrance-free moisturisers with bisabolol (rich in panthenol) - Hydrating Light Moisturiser and Replenishing Rich Moisturiser.
Affordable, and easily accessible in the US, UK, and Australia.
