I also like the Purito Centella Green Level Recovery Cream! It soothes redness and irritation instantly. Fun fact: Centella is known as Tiger Grass because tigers will instinctively roll in this grass after fights to soothe their wounds. So cool!
I bought it and it breaks me out for some reason and I don't really break out! So I just use it on my neck and hands. It feels so nice so that made me sad!
I apply LRP Cicaplast baume before Azelaic Acid and it saves my face from irritation. Life savior. I have tried Azelaic on top of another moisturizer and it irritated my skin.
@@VendetaI Is it better to apply it before? Does it not dimimish the power of azelaic too much? Im struggling to use high strenght azelaic at the moment without developing dermatitis from dryness it creates.
That stuff literally repaired my skin in three days flat! I had an allergic reaction to a new sunscreen I tried, and my skin began to CRACK!!! I went out and bought the Calm and Restore cream IMMEDIATELY, and thank God I did!!!👍🏼💖
I just started using it and I love it so far too! In addition to it seeming to have a nice hydrating effect on my skin, it's super luxurious to apply, it feels and smells so nice. Some fragrance-free products have what I can only describe as a drugstore skincare smell, but this stuff somehow smells sweet and lovely (in a very subtle way). I do find that I have to use a lot of it, but my skin is very dehydration-prone.
One thing to note about the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer is that it doesn't play nicely with sunscreens because of the silicones. It causes pilling like crazy!! Just a word of caution it's best used in the evening.
I thought about getting it, but bought the purito unscented toner instead because it is more affordable. I like the toner, it helps redness and irritation. Great for my oily/acne prone sensitive skin
I love their centella products, I use their peptide serum (staple item that I just love so much), eye cream and sunscreen. I love that many of the products are available in both scented and unscented ❤️
I also like the Cicaplast Mains hand cream for winter! It doesn’t have centella, but it’s kept my hands from cracking and it’s great for daytime bc it’s not greasy on the hands
I love La Roche Posay Cicaplast, it saved my skin after a reaction from salycilic acid wash, it was red, bumpy and it burned. Other moisturizer actually burned even more this was the only one that just sat nicely on my skin and after 4 days my skin was back to normal. This was wonderful! I use it as a night cream now, and my skin always looks beautiful and feels hydrated in the morning
I did not know that the aveno oat gel moisturizer had centella asiatica. That's wonderful as I can now go from 2 products (the ampoule she mentioned and a moisturizer) to one. Thanks dr dray for saving me time and money
May we get a review of Geek & Gorgeous brand? They pledge no fragrance (including essential oils too!) They also pledge to disclose the amount of actives in their products.
I found a study on the anti viral properties of Centella. I used it when I didn’t have medication with me on a cold sore and found it extremely effective.
If you have oily but also a little dry irritated skin don’t have any fear to use Cicaplast, infact is a true skin saviour!!! I had also acne and Cicaplast combined with 10% azelaic acid cream extremely calming and soothing but also pore unclogging plus Cerave literally perfected my skin like the best!!! Best wishes to you all with your skin 💫
I have rosacea and I’ve been using the La Roche Posay Cicablast Baum (thanks mom) for 5 years. I have truthfully only seen great results with this product. Granted, I do not use it every day due to how strong it is.
When I first saw “cica” products, I thought it was referring to the French word for “scar,” which is “cicatrice.” I don’t think that’s why they’re named that way, but kind of cool that those words are in the same domain of skin!
I just did a google search (was quick, so might have gotten smth wrong) and from what I could find the French word (which apparently also exists in English) comes from the Latin cicatrix. And it seems like Centella IS referred to as cica cream (nickname) because it helps with wounds/scars. So yeah great observation, it's all the same root lol
I just ordered the Topicals Faded brightening gel, it has nicinamide, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, melatonin, kojic acid, centella, and licorice root. Might be a good one for you to try out Dr. Dray!
Dr. Dray- I just had to share something with you. I’m trying to cut unnecessary products out of my skincare routine to simplify things. A couple of products that you recommended in some recent videos checked all the.boxes for me so I went ahead & purchased them; the first is the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer & the second one is the Rovectin skin essentials activating treatment lotion. I gotta hand it to you that so far, so good. I’m loving these products and they feel right for me. As a bonus, they’re also more affordable than some other skincare I was trying. THANK YOU for being you because you help so many of us out here on your channel with your knowledge, patience, humor, Costco trips, coffee mugs, smiles, “Well hey guys”! & more! You’re the best and I appreciate your work! ❤️
I strongly recommend the iunik centella gel! it absorbs quick into your skin, leaving your skin hydrated and juicy. I have combination skin that's also sensitive and acne prone, I got it last summer to try it out and it really calmed down my inflammation and helped with scarring combined with a good sunscreen
Thank you so much talking about how eczema flair up is related to your fibromyalgia. I never had eczema till about a yr ago. I take Duloxetine (not for depression) for fibro. Makes so much sense.
It is perfect !! Anytime my skin burns from products or gets sensitive from retinol I use cicaplast on it as a moisturizer and it soothes my skin ( because sometimes I can’t even use my cerave tried n true ) I just use the cicaplast boom
It's perfect. I have been using it for quite some time on my cheeks because my skin is dry there and I like the feeling of it. And I like how it is thick and it makes my skin look good.
@@JHTjersey same!!! Noon at the point where I can use cetaphil again, but my routine is still simple. Cleanse, moisturize, then the baume on top and that’s it if I’m not using tretinoin that night
Thank you for the clarification about cica and centella! I love the Cosrx cica products. I got the Cicaplast and while it is too heavy for my skin as an allover treatment, it is wonderful as a spot treatment for irritated spots and it feels so cool and soothing, instead of thick and sticky like most healing creams.
Another great Centella product is Some By Mi- Miracle Serum- 14.5% Centella & Miracle Cream- 70% Centella. I really like this brand & have been using their SPF with no problems. I also like Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream in the tube.
LRP cicaplast balm b5+ does have centella asiatica leaf extract, says the ingredient list. not only madecassoside. i have just bought one here in switzerland. it does say " new and improved formula" on the box so they might have added it since the making of your video over 2 years ago. i have bought it for my face redness after sauna and i have to say - i love it. also paired with bioderma's photoderm andti redness sunscreen that you reviewed here for us on this side of the world. thank you so much, dr. dray!
My personal favorite is Benton's "Goodbye Redness" gel, it works very well as basically a serum step before a moisturizer. I've seen a lot of improvement in my skin ever since I started using it, it really calms the skin and I feel like I get flare-ups of acne less often. :)
I love the Cicaplast Baume B5 !!! I have rosacea and my skin loves this Balm! I put it all over my face as a last step at the end- my skin is very dry and this helped me to get better skin. This balm calms my rosacea down, if I get a flush, I put it on my cheeks and the redness is GONE! I would recommend it to everyone who had rosacea, just try it out.. maybe you like it as much as I do.. :)
Do u use it regularly it day( to go out) and night in summers too? Can i use it as a moisturizer and apply sunscreen over it? How much time does it take to heal... ? I have dry rosacea
I bought the Aveeno Oat Gel Moisturizer based on your recommendation from a previous video. Love this stuff. It's been really helpful for irritation that pops up for my oily and rosacea prone skin. Plus its humid here in New Orleans so heavier moisturizers are problematic. I've been trying out various products to see what works best for me. Been working to level up my skincare routine for my much "wiser" skin. All of your info has been so helpful Dr. Dray as I've been doing a deep dive into skin care. Wishing I'd known this in my much younger years! 🙂🙃
Thank you for telling us all the names of the centella components. Sometimes I am at a loss to find ingredients in my skincare that are claimed in the names or product descriptions in the inci lists.
My holy grail for my acne Cosrx Centella blemish cream. I used it as a spot treatment,2-3 days my acne healed. I love applying it especially when my acne is so red and just starting. It calms my acne the next day.
I was just researching about this the other day.... Thinking of getting the Cosrx Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream for my night time moisturizer. Has niacinamide too, along with centella and ceramides, glycerin, panthenol and ha
It’s great! But it’s very thick just so you know. I have dehydrated oily skin, use Differin every other night (just started 2 weeks ago) and it’s heading to winter where I am, this cream (more like a balm really) really helps me keep that hydration, moisture and retinoid irritation. On my 2nd tube now 😊
About 20 years ago, centella asiática was a boom, used to improve cellulite and circulation of legs. It used to be available in creams, capsules and lotions
Yes! Over 40 years ago my mother started using Centella Asiatica by 'Bioforce' Dr. A.Vogel's , Swiss made by the late legendary doctor A. Vogel, namely 'Symvita creme' and ' Symphytum creme' it is organic too, in my opinion still one of BEST anti-aging products you can buy and should have!~
Thank you Dr. Dray for your very thorough discussion on Centella and its varied components. Listing them will be so helpful when searching these ingredients out. Btw, you look great. Your skin is so clear and healthy looking. I like your leopard sweater (love animal prints), your necklace and earrings. Very pulled together and classy. You rock!
Thank you for introducing me to CosRX! I started Tretinoin this year and their products are really helping with the irritation. My skin loves it!...(also the LaRoche Posay Cicaplast)
I love Centella in products. I’ve been using the Purito Centella serum and a gel/cream product called Madecassoside (it’s a little lighter than Cicaplast Baume) the first for day and the second one overnight. They are both so soothing for my skin! I also love the Missha Time Revolution Artemesia Essence. Thanks for mentioning other products to consider.
Been using COSRX Hydrium Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule AM after cleanse and before the cerave 30 lotion, and my skin is less red, irritated and more homogeneous in the T zone. I've also added a Licorice serum in the PM routine. It's been two weeks now, less scratching the face :)
I have a research background and really appreciate your summaries of the science behind ingredients (for example when you talk about stimulating fibroblast cells and the pathways that are activated to do this). I find it interesting and helpful to understanding!
I always assumed the reason why some products (especilly french ones) have cica- in the name even if they don`t contail centella is because the french word for scar is cicatrice? Thats a total guess though.
Cicaplast Baume saves me from myself! My skin problems are usually from my own doings, so I reach for this product pretty regularly. Also I absolutely love Round Lab! I use their sunscreen, it's pleasant and sits well under makeup.
I would love to see a video on the best one step/one and done moisturizer. I am trying to get away from using tons of serums, etc. and would love to know the best overall, multipurpose moisturizer that can replace many things. I currently use Cerave moisturizing cream and figure that is going to be pretty good.
Hi Dr Dray! You’ve GOT to get your hands on the CosRX Purefit centella toner. It’s very watery and perfect to layer under a heavy moisturizer. I get relief from a rosacea flare up within a day.
I love Centella! It's such a soothing and calming ingredient. I use a moisturizer that contains Centella to reduce any irritation from chemical exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. My favorite product with centella in it is the Etude House Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream. I think i need to try one of the CosRX products that you recommended, since the Aveeno Calm & Restore series haven't been sold in Indonesia.
That Aveeno Oat gel moisturizer is my new favorite. It’s a little rich for my finicky skin and sometimes I form comedones from using it too many days in a row, so I combat that by rotating a cleanser for oily, acne prone skin. I love it too much to just stop using it. Makes me look lifted, glowy and takes years off my face.😳 I just ran out so I’ve been using LRP Lipikar while my skin is still in its winter freakout phase. Wanna try the Cicaplast. I just adore LaRoche-Posay.
I appreciate you bringing up chafing under the breast! I have very large breasts and have been struggling with that. Will definitely try that balm out.
Lately I have been experimenting with green tea and rosemary extracts by mixing a little in with my Cosrx snail essense to excellent results. I also do this with the ascorbic acid toner that I mix up and keep in the fridge (It never oxidizes before I can use it up, and it has been adjusted to about a ph of 3 by a tiny amount of baking soda). In the future I am going to try mixing in centella extract, since it combines well with vitamin c. Between the tretinoin, the microneedling, the snail mucin, exfoliation, vitamin c, and the centella, I am sure I will have the glowiest skin on the block! 😊
Recently got purito centella recovery cream on yesstyle. Thought I'd give it a try after hearing so much about it. Also in recent months started on tretinoin and heard it was great for the "peelies". Recently also gave a little dumped kitten a home and needless to say there were lots of scratches from playing with him. Lately I've been a very slow healer thanks to hypothryoidism. I put the centella on the scratches and few cuts I had. I couldn't believe how quickly they healed and no scars from the cuts either. Well, I'll not be without it from now on. I'm hooked - oh btw it was as good as people said for the peeling stage with tretinoin as well. It's just a wee miracle worker. I think it should be a staple in people's first aid boxes to be perfecty honest considering it's healing properties.
That ingredient is no joke when it comes to healing. It works! Also wanted to suggest trying the Purito cica pimple patches. They are awesome for pimples, but also for little scratches, cuts, cuticle tears etc.
I think you have been reading my brain in doing this post! I have concerns with redness from using a retinol and have considered laser treatments for dealing with the redness. I might try a centella product first! You are such a skincare rockstar! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️
It is a wonderful ingredient! I notice the redness went away after a few weeks. I hope you can review the Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream. Its one of my best centella product
I’ve been using the Aveeno Oat Gel at your recommendation, and I’m loving it! I have had face eczema (not currently flared) for years, so I’m very limited with products that are safe and effective. Applied over the Hada Labo gel, it’s been a winning combo. Thank you!
That La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is MAGIC! My derm has me use it under my retinoid. I love it, it dramatically improved my acne scars within days of using it. It heals my skin so quickly and beautifully 😻
I use Paula’s Choice CBD Skin Transformative Treatment Milk which has centella extract before I put on my Differin gel then follow up with La Roche Posay Cicaplast baum all over my face especially the corners of my eyes, nose, mouth and lips. It brings me a lot of comfort and helps a lot with the dryness, irritation and sensitivity. Thanks for all the information, you’ve been helping me so much with your videos.
I love Centella products like the Soon Jung cica balm for maskne. Its lightweight enough but very moisturizing. I also love the Purito Centella unscented serum. They r perfect for dry Tret skin.
@@rachaelesque3 if you have dry skin like me, what really helps to combat dryness is the Laneige cream skin mist that I spray on a few layers in between my serums.
Brilliant stuff. I had a reaction to something on my neck which looked like burns. 3-4 days of this, on top of the barrier repair moisturiser and it was almost gone. Soon Jumg has some great products
cicaplast really disappointed me. it feels like sunscreen and did not seem to help my skin at all when it was irritated and i only woke with drier skin because its not moisturizing at all. but i dont wanna give up on centella because i need something for irritated days so i will try another product. thx
If you really wanna go all in with the Centella, I highly recommend the Purito Unscented Centella serum & the Aveeno oat gel. You could even use them together. Both are super soothing, super hydrating, but so so light, cooling, and refreshing. I know everyone’s skin is different, so I don’t wanna make promises, but I really think you’d have a whole different experience w them
You are the only creator I watch for skincare advice! Other channels either use way too many products or create fear mongering over chemical sunscreens or parabens. No thank you!
Big fan of the one's I've tried on this video. Except the cosrx cica cream. Idk why but it kind of felt drying. My favorite and staple in my routine is cicaplast. I put it all over my face before my moisturizer. Heaven on my dryness, sensitivity and acne!
the size of the coffee mugs take me by surprise every time!!
💙☕️
Ditto!🤣
No caffeine though, don't think.
Life goals!
I really miss those HUGE mugs. We only have tiny ones here, made for dolls.
I also like the Purito Centella Green Level Recovery Cream! It soothes redness and irritation instantly. Fun fact: Centella is known as Tiger Grass because tigers will instinctively roll in this grass after fights to soothe their wounds. So cool!
I bought it and it breaks me out for some reason and I don't really break out! So I just use it on my neck and hands. It feels so nice so that made me sad!
True. I like it as well as I use it during the day after night Differin tratment. Good when combined with Cerave.
That's interesting to know
@@jenniferwray3329 Maybe because it's fragranced? I recommend the unscented version, Purito Centella Unscented Serum
@@niac.2970 I wasn't talking about the serum. I was referring to the recovery cream, and mine is the non fragrance version.
Can you do a "top 5 ingredients" series?
Top 5 ingredients for acne, wrinkles, collagen, hyperpigmentation...
I’m wondering if “adenosine” or “glycine” would be in a Top 5 ingredients video for wrinkles!
Good idea
@@doodoo7207 i would be cool to have alternatives that are less irritating :)
Sensitive skin + tretinoin + CICAPLAST BAUME B5 = no irritación, you guys I LOVE IT
I apply LRP Cicaplast baume before Azelaic Acid and it saves my face from irritation. Life savior. I have tried Azelaic on top of another moisturizer and it irritated my skin.
Do you apply the tretinoin first or the cicaplast first?
Aveeno eczema therapy, then tretinoin, then CICAPLAST nigth and morning and never feel irritación because the tretinoin
@@VendetaI Is it better to apply it before? Does it not dimimish the power of azelaic too much? Im struggling to use high strenght azelaic at the moment without developing dermatitis from dryness it creates.
Same 👍🏻
The Oat Moisturizer is my new holy grail! I’ve been using it for about a month and it has transformed my skin! Thanks for the recommendation
Hi! Im thinking of getting it. How has it transformed your skin? What kind of skin do you have if you don’t mind me asking?💖
That stuff literally repaired my skin in three days flat! I had an allergic reaction to a new sunscreen I tried, and my skin began to CRACK!!! I went out and bought the Calm and Restore cream IMMEDIATELY, and thank God I did!!!👍🏼💖

Same here!
How do you use it? I just bought it and don’t have any idea if this goes before everything else I use (retinol, moisturizer)
One thing to note about the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer is that it doesn't play nicely with sunscreens because of the silicones. It causes pilling like crazy!! Just a word of caution it's best used in the evening.
You need to let it dry and then apply the sunscreen
it didn't pill for me when i put spf over it
You have to try the purito uncented centella serum, it’s 49% centella extract! Amazing!!
I thought about getting it, but bought the purito unscented toner instead because it is more affordable. I like the toner, it helps redness and irritation. Great for my oily/acne prone sensitive skin
I love their centella products, I use their peptide serum (staple item that I just love so much), eye cream and sunscreen. I love that many of the products are available in both scented and unscented ❤️
Cicaplast Baume pretty much saved my hands from my annual “winter cracking”! First time in DECADES that my fingers didn’t crack open and bleed!!!💘
I also like the Cicaplast Mains hand cream for winter! It doesn’t have centella, but it’s kept my hands from cracking and it’s great for daytime bc it’s not greasy on the hands
I use the Cicaplast Baume all over my face morning and night time! It completely changed my skin. No more redness or irritation from Tret.
how do you use it like do you apply it over or under tret?
Purito also has an unscented Cetntilla serum that’s really good
Love this one! It’s my fav
I love it tooooo!!
La roche-posay also has a cicaplast b5 in gel version, its very soothing and matte at the same time. Also another good product is Bioderma cicabio
I love La Roche Posay Cicaplast, it saved my skin after a reaction from salycilic acid wash, it was red, bumpy and it burned.

I have dehydrated oily skin, use Differin every other night (just started 2 weeks ago) and it’s heading to winter where I am, this cream (more like a balm really) really helps me keep that hydration, moisture and retinoid irritation. On my 2nd tube now 😊
this is crazy i was just searching for centella products and you uploaded it the same day
About 20 years ago, centella asiática was a boom, used to improve cellulite and circulation of legs. It used to be available in creams, capsules and lotions
Yes! Over 40 years ago my mother started using Centella Asiatica by 'Bioforce' Dr. A.Vogel's , Swiss made by the late legendary doctor A. Vogel, namely 'Symvita creme' and ' Symphytum creme' it is organic too, in my opinion still one of BEST anti-aging products you can buy and should have!~
@@bronyraur100 Where can I buy this products please?
Thank you Dr. Dray for your very thorough discussion on Centella and its varied components. Listing them will be so helpful when searching these ingredients out. Btw, you look great. Your skin is so clear and healthy looking. I like your leopard sweater (love animal prints), your necklace and earrings. Very pulled together and classy. You rock!
I swear by the Some by Mi AHA/BHA/PHA Miracle Cream! It has a high concentration of centella and has transformed my skin in the best way.
Sounds great🌸
Thank you for introducing me to CosRX! I started Tretinoin this year and their products are really helping with the irritation. My skin loves it!...(also the LaRoche Posay Cicaplast)
I’m about to start tret and I’m scared! 😂 any tips other than taking it slow and moisturizing?
Happy Wednesday!!!
Happy Wednesday
Thank you for clearing up the CICA-thing! Didn't know it just menat "healing", not centella! I´ve been so confused about that!
I also LOVE the Purito unscented centella serum. So multipurpose.
I love Centella in products. I’ve been using the Purito Centella serum and a gel/cream product called Madecassoside (it’s a little lighter than Cicaplast Baume) the first for day and the second one overnight. They are both so soothing for my skin! I also love the Missha Time Revolution Artemesia Essence. Thanks for mentioning other products to consider.
Been using COSRX Hydrium Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule AM after cleanse and before the cerave 30 lotion, and my skin is less red, irritated and more homogeneous in the T zone.
I've also added a Licorice serum in the PM routine.
It's been two weeks now, less scratching the face :)
And the purito centella unscented serum! Magic in a bottle!
I have a research background and really appreciate your summaries of the science behind ingredients (for example when you talk about stimulating fibroblast cells and the pathways that are activated to do this). I find it interesting and helpful to understanding!
I always assumed the reason why some products (especilly french ones) have cica- in the name even if they don`t contail centella is because the french word for scar is cicatrice? Thats a total guess though.
Cicaplast Baume saves me from myself! My skin problems are usually from my own doings, so I reach for this product pretty regularly. Also I absolutely love Round Lab! I use their sunscreen, it's pleasant and sits well under makeup.
I would love to see a video on the best one step/one and done moisturizer. I am trying to get away from using tons of serums, etc. and would love to know the best overall, multipurpose moisturizer that can replace many things. I currently use Cerave moisturizing cream and figure that is going to be pretty good.
I love and have tried most of the products mentioned here, centella always calms my perpetually irritated skin ❤️
Hi Dr Dray! You’ve GOT to get your hands on the CosRX Purefit centella toner. It’s very watery and perfect to layer under a heavy moisturizer. I get relief from a rosacea flare up within a day.
Really like this focused ingredient approach.
I love Centella! It's such a soothing and calming ingredient. I use a moisturizer that contains Centella to reduce any irritation from chemical exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. My favorite product with centella in it is the Etude House Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream. I think i need to try one of the CosRX products that you recommended, since the Aveeno Calm & Restore series haven't been sold in Indonesia.
Thanks for reviewing some of the COSRX products from the cica line! The serum sounds lovely!
I’m amazed that you know about that uriage product !
That Aveeno Oat gel moisturizer is my new favorite. It’s a little rich for my finicky skin and sometimes I form comedones from using it too many days in a row, so I combat that by rotating a cleanser for oily, acne prone skin. I love it too much to just stop using it. Makes me look lifted, glowy and takes years off my face.😳
I just ran out so I’ve been using LRP Lipikar while my skin is still in its winter freakout phase. Wanna try the Cicaplast. I just adore LaRoche-Posay.
I appreciate you bringing up chafing under the breast! I have very large breasts and have been struggling with that. Will definitely try that balm out.
Lately I have been experimenting with green tea and rosemary extracts by mixing a little in with my Cosrx snail essense to excellent results.
I also do this with the ascorbic acid toner that I mix up and keep in the fridge (It never oxidizes before I can use it up, and it has been adjusted to about a ph of 3 by a tiny amount of baking soda). In the future I am going to try mixing in centella extract, since it combines well with vitamin c.
Between the tretinoin, the microneedling, the snail mucin, exfoliation, vitamin c, and the centella, I am sure I will have the glowiest skin on the block! 😊
Recently got purito centella recovery cream on yesstyle. Thought I'd give it a try after hearing so much about it. Also in recent months started on tretinoin and heard it was great for the "peelies". Recently also gave a little dumped kitten a home and needless to say there were lots of scratches from playing with him. Lately I've been a very slow healer thanks to hypothryoidism. I put the centella on the scratches and few cuts I had. I couldn't believe how quickly they healed and no scars from the cuts either. Well, I'll not be without it from now on. I'm hooked - oh btw it was as good as people said for the peeling stage with tretinoin as well. It's just a wee miracle worker. I think it should be a staple in people's first aid boxes to be perfecty honest considering it's healing properties.
That ingredient is no joke when it comes to healing. It works! Also wanted to suggest trying the Purito cica pimple patches. They are awesome for pimples, but also for little scratches, cuts, cuticle tears etc.
I think you have been reading my brain in doing this post! I have concerns with redness from using a retinol and have considered laser treatments for dealing with the redness. I might try a centella product first! You are such a skincare rockstar! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️
It is a wonderful ingredient! I notice the redness went away after a few weeks. I hope you can review the Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream. Its one of my best centella product
Waiting for my Aveeno gel cream to arrive based on your continued recommendation! Can't wait!
I’ve been using the Aveeno Oat Gel at your recommendation, and I’m loving it! I have had face eczema (not currently flared) for years, so I’m very limited with products that are safe and effective. Applied over the Hada Labo gel, it’s been a winning combo. Thank you!
Thanks for letting us know, Doc, coz i'm one of those who thought that Cica = Centella!
This is my favourite skincare brand. Urigae! Thanks for the review! I’m using the daily gel creme and serum! It’s so lightweight! Love Uriage ❤️
Can you talk about Uriage products in general? Like a video about them?
That La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is MAGIC! My derm has me use it under my retinoid. I love it, it dramatically improved my acne scars within days of using it. It heals my skin so quickly and beautifully 😻
I keep seeing comments like this. I really have to try it now
I use Paula’s Choice CBD Skin Transformative Treatment Milk which has centella extract before I put on my Differin gel then follow up with La Roche Posay Cicaplast baum all over my face especially the corners of my eyes, nose, mouth and lips. It brings me a lot of comfort and helps a lot with the dryness, irritation and sensitivity. Thanks for all the information, you’ve been helping me so much with your videos.
Can you do a more personal video talking about your med school experience and residency etc?
Yes I agree!!
Love this idea!
That would be so interesting.
Dr. Dray: If you see smoke I’m not on fire.
Us: Oh but, yes girl, yes you are.
Me: That sounds like something someone who was on fire would say.
Saponins, that's so interesting - is that the same as the part of a plant that can be made into a soap?
Yassss! I’ve been waiting for this topic!! Thank you Dr Dray!
Thanks for watching
So cool to see centella listed in my peach slices snail rescue!
Mediheal tea tree biome blemish cica gel cleanser is also a very good product!
I love Centella products like the Soon Jung cica balm for maskne. Its lightweight enough but very moisturizing. I also love the Purito Centella unscented serum. They r perfect for dry Tret skin.
Oooh! Good to know, I’m starting Tret in a few days! 😬 thank you for sharing!
@@rachaelesque3 if you have dry skin like me, what really helps to combat dryness is the Laneige cream skin mist that I spray on a few layers in between my serums.
@@sherinie22 you are awesome! Thank you so much!! Definitely going to check that out.
Brilliant stuff. I had a reaction to something on my neck which looked like burns. 3-4 days of this, on top of the barrier repair moisturiser and it was almost gone. Soon Jumg has some great products
Please make a video regarding products and ingredients safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers...Thank u for saving our skin...
Thanks for taking time to put words in description. So helpful. Thank you Dr.Dray ❤️
That leopard print shirt is nice Dr Dray !!
I am loving the Aveeno Calm and Restore moisturizer. Fantastic product!
Top 10 Uriage skin care products plz !?
I've got 3 of the list! 🙌 My skin love them!
cicaplast really disappointed me. it feels like sunscreen and did not seem to help my skin at all when it was irritated and i only woke with drier skin because its not moisturizing at all. but i dont wanna give up on centella because i need something for irritated days so i will try another product. thx
If you really wanna go all in with the Centella, I highly recommend the Purito Unscented Centella serum & the Aveeno oat gel. You could even use them together. Both are super soothing, super hydrating, but so so light, cooling, and refreshing. I know everyone’s skin is different, so I don’t wanna make promises, but I really think you’d have a whole different experience w them
I also recommend the brand The Potions! They are like the ordinary and have many lovely serums and ampules.
Please review pureology for hair it’s quite expensive and I want to know if it does what it claims
Yeah what are your thoughts
Please Dr. Dray 🙏
Abbey Yung has a number of videos on pureology products.
You are the only creator I watch for skincare advice! Other channels either use way too many products or create fear mongering over chemical sunscreens or parabens. No thank you!
Big fan of the one's I've tried on this video. Except the cosrx cica cream. Idk why but it kind of felt drying. My favorite and staple in my routine is cicaplast. I put it all over my face before my moisturizer. Heaven on my dryness, sensitivity and acne!
The LRP cicoplast balm is my saviour! I test and review a lot of products, so when I invariably get a sensitivity - it is my IMMEDIATE go to❣️❣️
Baume auto corrected to “balm” 🙃
I have combo skin and the Aveeno cream wasn’t moisturizing enough for me in Seattle winter. I think it will be a winner for the summer though!
I think that the concentration of centella is also very important to be effective.
