your son coming in with just the purest heart and singing for you !!!! oh gosh.. i want to be a mom so badly. How sweet and lovely your family seems Dr. Idriss
About myth 2: THANK YOU!!!! As a Chemist I can't stand people talking about "chemical free" and don't even start me with the whole "organic" stuff. Every compound with Carbon it's organic, that's the very definition of Organic Chemistry (which was my line of work).
Customer: Is it 100% ORGANIIIIIC??? Me: Yes, we still don' t import products from other civilizations/galaxies non-carbon based. Customer: 😳 wtf? Me: 😌 Won' t be surprised if one day I' m fired🤦🏻♀️
YESSS NUMBER TWO !!! im so sick of people saying chemical sunscreen is toxic just bc the word chemical is in it😭😭😭 the amount of people i’ve had to argue with over it
Love all of these, but especially “more doesn’t equal better” and “chemicals aren’t bad”… I just wish there were more people spreading these messages!!
Omg those two happy rays of sunshine walking into your room 🌞! and the happy song and kisses are just everything !!! Happy weekend! From one mom to another 💕
@@surlespasdondine was only hoping for him to continue his performance from the sidelines...he wasn't in the frame when he was singing...it was so adorable oh my lord.
Love, love the part about vaseline! As a geologist and engineer, crude oil is actually "all natural"! (Arsenic, lead, mercury are "all natural", too. Personally I will take paraben over any of those)! 😆😆😆
I was that person who thought more is better. First month of tretinoin with a lot of inflammation and a broken neck skin. Then I found your channel. I changed my routine, buffered my tretinoin, diluted my niacinamide, diminished HA, started to exfoliate with glycolic one a week, and chose better ingredients for my skin. Game changer, my skin is glowing.
I love this video, I got totally sucked into the chemical free, toxic free movement a couple of years ago and my skin was at its worst. I now have repaired my skin thanks to doctors like you! Your son is adorable and I love Pique tea!
I’d love for you to make a video that includes cruelty free options and swaps for those of us who prefer to buy cruelty free. Also, if there are cruelty free myths, fill us in. 😊
I’m an animal lover also Callie! I hate animal testing. PETA always sending me horrible pictures of cats, dogs, rabbits etc. I got so sick and upset after opening one of their letters to me, I couldn’t go to work. I am a registered nurse not that this makes a difference. These tests are repetitive and inconclusive most of time. Also our tax dollars fund some of this testing. My house is loaded with rescue pets. I love every one of them! at 72 yrs old I can’t do much more!😊
I can totally understand why it’s difficult for a small brand to fight mis-information. But! I wish you would reconsider, you have made me understand and not be scared of them anymore and I truly think you can jump, shout and re-educate the consumer. You will get a lot of PR with your qualifications and experience backing up your opinion. ♥️♥️♥️
I really love seeing your kids in your videos, kuddos for balancing motherhood, work and business , youtube and all these social media platforms... love you and excited for the upcoming release

Only 3 minutes in but let me thank you for listing Wal-Mart as a beauty store. It's not glamorous but it is reality for so many of us and very refreshing to hear, thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you for explaining the difference between fragrance free and unscented! I always wondered about this. My philosophy on health is to reduce as many negatives as possible and include as many positives as possible, without stressing about it if it’s not perfect. Because I think there is a threshold of how many “toxins” or free radicals or stressors or whatever that’s bad for your body to handle before it starts to develop diseases. Of course sometimes you can’t prevent diseases, but a lot of times you can. I still think it’s sketchy that parabens build up in tissue, there must be a threshold of how much parabens the body can take before it starts to cause a disfunction. So I try to stay away from parabens as much as possible, but if the best product for my skin has parabens in it, I’m not going to stress about it. Because in that situation the positives outweigh the negatives and stressing about it would only make my whole philosophy moot, because stress is the worst! lol.
Okay but the thing is, parabens are removed from the body in 36 hours after being broken down by certain enzymes in the skin, they are even produced in the body by breakdown of amino acids. They are even found in fruits and vegetables if a person wanted to avoid parabens, they'd have to stop eating those fruits and vegetables which contain them. So I feel like if you are trying to 100% avoid parabens, its stupid. If its gonna get removed from the body and its even found in what you eat, there's no reason to avoid it unless you actually have any other problems with it which is a rare occurrence. The amount its used in products is super low, its not enough to really cause an issue, so even if you have multiple products with parabens or sources of them, you'd have to have them in a humongous amount to actually show some sort of effect. They really are super effective as a preservative and one of the most researched one as well.
A beautiful mind ,a gracious soul and THE BEST sense of humor so willing to share her expertise with all of us ! Darling children 👦 👧the added bonus . So grateful for you !
I love this tea! It’s one of the only ones tested for mycotoxins that I can get here in the states. I have mold illness and most teas / coffees contain mold.
Im so glad I found this channel. I realized how much I don't know about skincare. I still have to watch a lot of videos from you but from information all the way to being authentic in your discussions and being yourself is golden here. Much appreciated
Love, love, love #5. I am not sensitive to fragrance, fragrance is not the devil. Just because a product has fragrance does not mean it’s the devil for all of us. Stop the madness! .
yessss, love when people cite their sources AND when they look at multiple sources!! teach them how science, and any kind of information-sharing, is done!
Shereene, we need a video about getting rid of beauty marks etc on the skin! There are so many methods and it’s sooo confusing. My dermatologists recommend different things and I suspect it’s also unconsciously led by what methods they have at their disposal (like one has a co2 Laser, the other doesn’t.)
Hello! I’m a new subscriber, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos. I’m a 40 year old that never took care of my skin.. starting now and love all that I’ve learned from you! Thank you!
The best video that the world needs to watch and understand the information! I m so sick of all the claims that companies make these days and people are falling for it and making a big deal out of them
That's the reason we need actual doctors like you that give us correct information than some self proclaimed experts spreading myths on internet. Dr. Idriss you are really a treasure.
Cutest babies! You handled their adorable interruptions beautifully- AND you were still coherent in your explanations!When my kids (now teens) interrupt me, it’s like I lose half my brain. 😂
I think when people say chemcal-free, what they mean is free of synthetic chemicals. And brands just go with that term to advertise their products. I personally don't care if a product is synthetic as long as it has a good safety track record
Fragrance, especially artificial ones causes migraines for me so I am glad there is other options now. Fragrances can also cause epileptic fits for some people so please consider your fellow humans.
While I agree about her debunk, a lot of fragranced products just smell horribly. And I like the kind of basic scent of unscented ones. I agree about the plastic smell though.
and people with sensitive skin and rosacea exist and i remember a time were i couldnt find any product for my skin an now i have some choices and i am sure i am not the only one
Bonjour! Heureuse de te suivre depuis le tout début. Et tu rayonnes, comme toujours ! On a besoin de doux, en ces moments de tensions, et cette vidéo fera assurément du bien! 🤗🍵 Merci pour ce travail! Bonne journée depuis le Québec! ☺️❤
This is why I only watch you and you only about skin, products, etc. You have facts/research to back everything up, and you speak from knowledge of being a Dermatologist. Ever since I started watching you, I changed my whole routine and my skin now is better than ever. Less redness, less breakout. Thank you so much for sharing everything to us 💕
No. 2!!! ❤ I’ve been mentioning to my friend who is into a “holistic wellness” stuff that I washed my face using dihydrogen monoxide and she was shocked 😂
I’m so excited for your skincare line to come out. When you first mentioned it, I was like “I want it NEOW!” But I realized that you’re taking your time and I trust that it is going to be a top tier brand!
Thank you so much for teaching us the right ways…. I’ve learned so much thru you and I learned to not spend money like a freak on the wrong stuff. I’m on my 30s (32🙏) and feeling greater than ever!! Once again thank you and proud to be part of this channel!!! I recommend you to everyone 😊😊😬😬 I hope one day I can go to your place in the city 💕💕💕💕 🇨🇴🗽🇺🇸 🌞💕
So simple, direct and big true statments! Open everyone eyes and heads toward cientific prooven facts is indeed a hard job in these desinformation era! I’m a fan from Portugal, i’m a immunoallergy doctor and have the same talks with my patients! This video is só good and i will share it with joy! The visits from your kids were a delightfull splash of love!
Always look forward to your videos and appreciate the consistency. Congrats on 300K 🎉 There are a lot of smaller brands driven by science that use parabens such as Stratia. I think it’s great and wish parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, silicones etc were used more often as they are most effective! We will have nothing left if people keep demonising ingredients.
As mum of two teenage boys, hearing that little onion of yours singing a song for you and say “I love you” has a made my day…sometimes I miss the baby onion stage, it’s just the best…❤️❤️❤️
I came home from the shittiest day after having my phone stolen and losing all my photos to my dad suspecting to have covid the day before our flight, needing to just decompress and try to feel better. Your video did just that, even if for 20 minutes. Your son coming in singing to you made me smile , especially after crying all day 😓. Also, thank you for doing a no-bullshit sponsorship!
I'am from Greece and i can't stop to see your videos!!!! I'am too a dermaholic!!!! You teach so many things! thank u fro all my heart!!!!!! I like you too, because the way in your reacts is full mediterranean!!!! Ilove u! I will support you with any way i can!
I'm watching this Monday evening so I hope you read this. I loved this video! I learned why parabens are not bad for you a while ago and I'm so glad you educated us on the topic that they are harmless preservatives. I loved you taking your time on your intro for those that are new and who do not know you or where you are located. I also loved you slamming your hands on your desk. Ha ha Your children are so adorable! I'm also so glad that you got picked for Pique tea to sponsor part of your video and that they sent you the flavor you prefer. Wonderful!
N0 5 - OMG, thank you so much! Finally someone with common sense who speaks the truth! I LOVE fragrances and enjoy products that smell good. In fact, if a product doesn't have a nice scent, I will NOT use it, no matter how good it is. I'll just find a scented alternative because scent makes me happy. It makes me look forward to using the product in my routine, and I'm so glad you touched on this important issue. Mental health and enoyment are a HUGE part of our skincare routine and its efficacy. Thank you again!
Vaseline is fantastic stuff and something you want to have in your pack if you are going somewhere wild and remote, whether in the cold dry mountains or a steamy jungle. So versatile.
Your son is such a sweetheart. I could tell that first line (of that exact same song I used to sing with my M'ma when I was that age) hit ya like a ton of bricks. That was one of those perfect moments between a boy and his momma right there.
Thank you Dr. Shereene for making it clear myths about vaseline! I really enjoy learning from your channel 💕 Hope you will educate us about sebaceous filaments on nose and how to deal with it.
Chemical free?! Lololol...between hearing that and the whole "clean skincare"..it's enough to drive a person nuts. Great video, and I love your earrings!! :)
Dr. Thank you for letting the world know that good old white petroleum jelly is a lifesaver also Dr. my kids have grown and to see your adorable little munchkins warms my heart❤
great video, and thank you for recommending Matcha tea. My friend from Tokyo gave me matcha sachets as a present and they are a life saver anytime I feel down. The called it Match to Go, because you put the content of the sachet in your water bottle, pour hot water from the kettle and shake it, instead of using the traditional bamboo whisker. Matcha is the best present anyone can give you. Have a lovely day!
Thank you for your videos Dr. Idriss. Also l love matcha too, but coffe its not bad rigth? I drink it too. Could you do a video about antioxidants aside from vitamin C? It irritates my skin. What do you think about pycnogenol, revevastrol or EUK 134 or any other ant ioxidant?? Thank you very veeeeryyyy much!!
I can’t put vitamin c on my face due to irritation from rosacea so I use a green tea antioxidant with reservatrol. It’s from Dr. Bailey’s line and it is expensive but it’s the only one I can tolerate. It’s reduced the redness and melasma but then I also put a gram of sulfur crystals in my coffee and take it with grape seed extract, oral vitamin c capsule and 50mg of vitamin e too. In five months my bright red face is now a light pink. I tried the prescription stuff for rosacea for a year and it didn’t help.
@@jenniferpetty5238 thank your for your comment, i use revevastrol from The Ordinary but someone said it works better if you put it the nigth before and now im confused, thats why i asked dr. Idriss for help. Also i read pycnogenol its the best antioxidant ever found but no dermatologist ever speaks about it so im very curios why. I will also check the vitamins you take to see if i can incorporate them too ;)
Loooved the take on non-chemical. Bravo!!! And I understand the dilema small brands face with parabens. Your take on it seems very reasonable to me. I do however have a slightly different take on the scent issue. Yes, of course, it's only harmful if your skin is sensitive to fragrance. But I think it can also make the experience less enjoyable. For one, you might just not like it. Fresh have a wonderful cleanser that is cucumber scented. It made me gag every time I used it. I loved the product but couldn't get over the scent and never repurchased it. Also, even if it's a scent you love... if you have a cucumber scented wash, a rose scented moisturiser, a strawberry scented lipoil, a coconut shampoo... and a vanilla perfume, it's pretty overkill. So my guess is, many of us buy some scented products we love to use among non-scented or very lightly scented ones to avoid the tropicana coctail :)
Love this!!! I wish more people would finally understand these are only myth! I avoid fragranced products on my face, because they make me sick when they stick around plus my skin may get red, but I love fragranced body care so that’s where I really live out my spa cravings. Also slugging with Vaseline is magic, I wake up with the bounciest skin in the morning.
I would LOVE to see a video on what a skin care regime should entail if you're starting later than your 20s. I'm 39 and have gotten really into skincare in the last couple years but it would be nice to know what treatments I should focus more on and if any brands out there are geared more towards someone in their lay 30s-40s. I trust your opinion and you always give great advice so any advice in this subject would be most appreciated!!
My beautiful Shereene, please answer my questions either Here or in a dedicated video: 1. Can we make hypochlorous acid ourselves? We don't have it here in Greece, but I was wondering if we can benefit from its properties. 2. Can you do a video on how it is the proper way to layer our acids (ahas, bha, Azelaic etc) with vitamin c, retinol, and all the things we need to make right in order for our actives to be efficient and not deactivated? Thanks in advance, Kisses to you and your beautiful family ♡
I took Organic Chemistry in college. I share your disgust when I see or hear something about "chemical-free", "clean", or "EWG verified". It is truly eye-rolling,
Thank you for making these videos, I am so thankful to have found your channel. I'm entering my 30s now and want to add things to my VERY sensitive/reactive skin (eczema/dry prone) to get an even tone and texture to my skin. One product/ingredient I keep seeing that I'd love to know more about from you is CERAMIDES.
Anytime someone says, “ I’m trying to be chemical free” I retort with “You’re chemicals” unoriginal I know, but true and one of the fastest way to get the point across
So great to hear you speak up as a qualified dermatologist on fragrance! I totally agree that people with sensitive skin and excema must avoid it, but why should the majority of the population be deprived of such an awesome sensory experience! The loudest voices representing a small minority are putting such pressure on the cosmecutical industry to exclude fragrances which is such a pity.
There are more fragranced than fragrance free/unscented products. Your options are far wider than they are for people who don't want fragrance. I can appreciate hearing from a dermatologist that fragranced options won't hurt many people, but people claiming advocating fragrance free skincare as fear mongering seems like overkill. If it is then it's been pretty ineffective fear mongering as far as the beauty industry goes. People are going to use what they like. Even St. Ives Apricot Scrub is still making money and it might be the only product that is universally demonized, condemned really, online.
Its skin care not politics. Its not that deep. Having sensitive skin sucks and now we have some choices. There is so much stuff that has fragrance i am pretty sure you are fine.
I love hearing your no-nonsense information! What of the research that discovered, a number of years ago, that mineral oil took vitamin k out of your system (I don't know how much).
Fantastic video !!! You are an excellent teacher, I love learning from you about beauty and skincare. You are so right about mineral oil, it’s extremely excellent occlusive in creams etc- my skin is so thankful for the Cetaphil moisturisers available for sensitive skin. Love your personality and vitality. Beautiful woman!
Company's just don't have any ideas for new products so let's make chemical free , paraben free , highest percentage products. Thank you for debunking fragrance. I really enjoy my moisturizers and cleansers fragrance.
Love that you addressed fragrance. I use Algenist at night and it has a fragrance I love. I'm lucky that my skin isn't sensitive (but realize that's not true of others).

There are a lot of smaller brands driven by science that use parabens such as Stratia. I think it’s great and wish parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, silicones etc were used more often as they are most effective! We will have nothing left if people keep demonising ingredients.
As mum of two teenage boys, hearing that little onion of yours singing a song for you and say “I love you” has a made my day…sometimes I miss the baby onion stage, it’s just the best…❤️❤️❤️
OMG my heart...that song was everything.
“You are my sunshine” was my daughters’s favorite at that age! Adorable
Love seeing your kids. Just recently found you I’m loving all that I’m learning
I came home from the shittiest day after having my phone stolen and losing all my photos to my dad suspecting to have covid the day before our flight, needing to just decompress and try to feel better. Your video did just that, even if for 20 minutes. Your son coming in singing to you made me smile , especially after crying all day 😓. Also, thank you for doing a no-bullshit sponsorship!
Talk about keeping TH-cam REAL! ❤️😍👌🏻 loved the fact that we got to see a real video made by a mom with real filming constraints 🤪👌🏻
My dermatologist told me that, for anti aging purposes, my 0.01% Tretinoin was just as good as the 0.1% tretonin after a year of use
Omg! I was like 🥹 when I saw and heard your son sang the song Mr Sunshine for you, Dr Shereene! Both of your son and daughter look like angels! 🥹🥹🥹
BEST ending to one of your videos EVER! Can't wait for your skin care line to come out!
Your son’s cute performance for you may be the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen on YT 🥺
I'am from Greece and i can't stop to see your videos!!!! I'am too a dermaholic!!!! You teach so many things!
thank u fro all my heart!!!!!! I like you too, because the way in your reacts is full mediterranean!!!! Ilove u! I will support you with any way i can!
I'm watching this Monday evening so I hope you read this. I loved this video! I learned why parabens are not bad for you a while ago and I'm so glad you educated us on the topic that they are harmless preservatives. I loved you taking your time on your intro for those that are new and who do not know you or where you are located. I also loved you slamming your hands on your desk. Ha ha Your children are so adorable! I'm also so glad that you got picked for Pique tea to sponsor part of your video and that they sent you the flavor you prefer. Wonderful!
N0 5 - OMG, thank you so much! Finally someone with common sense who speaks the truth! I LOVE fragrances and enjoy products that smell good. In fact, if a product doesn't have a nice scent, I will NOT use it, no matter how good it is. I'll just find a scented alternative because scent makes me happy. It makes me look forward to using the product in my routine, and I'm so glad you touched on this important issue. Mental health and enoyment are a HUGE part of our skincare routine and its efficacy. Thank you again!
Vaseline is fantastic stuff and something you want to have in your pack if you are going somewhere wild and remote, whether in the cold dry mountains or a steamy jungle. So versatile.
Dr Idriss, please make a video on ingredients that should not be mixed on routines!
Your son is such a sweetheart. I could tell that first line (of that exact same song I used to sing with my M'ma when I was that age) hit ya like a ton of bricks. That was one of those perfect moments between a boy and his momma right there.
I love that she uses her french all the time just love!!!
Could you do a video on skincare and pregnancy? I just learned to stop using retinol and that the skin can break out and then hopefully glow later?
Thank you Dr. Shereene for making it clear myths about vaseline! I really enjoy learning from your channel 💕
Hope you will educate us about sebaceous filaments on nose and how to deal with it.
Chemical free?! Lololol...between hearing that and the whole "clean skincare"..it's enough to drive a person nuts. Great video, and I love your earrings!! :)
Thank you for this video! I Am sending this video to family and friends who continue to believe a lot of these myths.
Dr. Thank you for letting the world know that good old white petroleum jelly is a lifesaver also Dr. my kids have grown and to see your adorable little munchkins warms my heart❤
Would love to hear your views on eye lash serums. What to look for when buying? Do they actually work?
great video, and thank you for recommending Matcha tea. My friend from Tokyo gave me matcha sachets as a present and they are a life saver anytime I feel down. The called it Match to Go, because you put the content of the sachet in your water bottle, pour hot water from the kettle and shake it, instead of using the traditional bamboo whisker. Matcha is the best present anyone can give you. Have a lovely day!
LOVE this segment!Your two assistants are adorable. As always a pleasure to watch / listen to you Dr. S. Thank You. Michele.
The ballpark of your knowledge is immense. Thanks again
Thank you for your videos Dr. Idriss. Also l love matcha too, but coffe its not bad rigth? I drink it too. Could you do a video about antioxidants aside from vitamin C? It irritates my skin. What do you think about pycnogenol, revevastrol or EUK 134 or any other ant ioxidant?? Thank you very veeeeryyyy much!!
I can’t put vitamin c on my face due to irritation from rosacea so I use a green tea antioxidant with reservatrol. It’s from Dr. Bailey’s line and it is expensive but it’s the only one I can tolerate. It’s reduced the redness and melasma but then I also put a gram of sulfur crystals in my coffee and take it with grape seed extract, oral vitamin c capsule and 50mg of vitamin e too. In five months my bright red face is now a light pink. I tried the prescription stuff for rosacea for a year and it didn’t help.
@@jenniferpetty5238 thank your for your comment, i use revevastrol from The Ordinary but someone said it works better if you put it the nigth before and now im confused, thats why i asked dr. Idriss for help. Also i read pycnogenol its the best antioxidant ever found but no dermatologist ever speaks about it so im very curios why. I will also check the vitamins you take to see if i can incorporate them too ;)
I can’t quit coffee… I added tea in, so now I drink both lol
Loooved the take on non-chemical. Bravo!!! And I understand the dilema small brands face with parabens. Your take on it seems very reasonable to me. I do however have a slightly different take on the scent issue. Yes, of course, it's only harmful if your skin is sensitive to fragrance. But I think it can also make the experience less enjoyable. For one, you might just not like it. Fresh have a wonderful cleanser that is cucumber scented. It made me gag every time I used it. I loved the product but couldn't get over the scent and never repurchased it. Also, even if it's a scent you love... if you have a cucumber scented wash, a rose scented moisturiser, a strawberry scented lipoil, a coconut shampoo... and a vanilla perfume, it's pretty overkill. So my guess is, many of us buy some scented products we love to use among non-scented or very lightly scented ones to avoid the tropicana coctail :)
Love this!!! I wish more people would finally understand these are only myth!
I avoid fragranced products on my face, because they make me sick when they stick around plus my skin may get red, but I love fragranced body care so that’s where I really live out my spa cravings. Also slugging with Vaseline is magic, I wake up with the bounciest skin in the morning.
I wasn’t having the best day but your babies just turned that around. My god they are so cute and beautiful! My heart ❤️🥰
I love your realistic take on fragrance.
I would LOVE to see a video on what a skin care regime should entail if you're starting later than your 20s. I'm 39 and have gotten really into skincare in the last couple years but it would be nice to know what treatments I should focus more on and if any brands out there are geared more towards someone in their lay 30s-40s. I trust your opinion and you always give great advice so any advice in this subject would be most appreciated!!
My beautiful Shereene,
please answer my questions either Here or in a dedicated video:
1. Can we make hypochlorous acid ourselves? We don't have it here in Greece, but I was wondering if we can benefit from its properties.
2. Can you do a video on how it is the proper way to layer our acids (ahas, bha, Azelaic etc) with vitamin c, retinol, and all the things we need to make right in order for our actives to be efficient and not deactivated?
Thanks in advance,
Kisses to you and your beautiful family ♡
Για σας. Χαιρετισμούς απ την Αγγλία.
αν δεν κάνω λάθος στο "my night time routine" και στο "How To Layer Your Skincare Products" video μιλάει για τη σωστή σειρά.
@@Alexa18900 βεβαια, απλα θα ηθελα μια εκτενέστερη αναφορά, οσον αφορά το pH και τη σειρα, γι' αυτο ρωτάω εκ νεου! Ευχαριστω παντως!
@@angieangelopoulou1196 Αα οκευ. Παρακαλώ!
Your children are precious. Thx for sharing all your knowledge
Thank you for using empirical science to support your arguments. What about mineral oil’s impact on acne-prone or “congested” skin?
I took Organic Chemistry in college. I share your disgust when I see or hear something about "chemical-free", "clean", or "EWG verified". It is truly eye-rolling,
It all had to be said! I confess I was worried about parabens until I started following you. You are changing the narrative!
Thank you for making these videos, I am so thankful to have found your channel. I'm entering my 30s now and want to add things to my VERY sensitive/reactive skin (eczema/dry prone) to get an even tone and texture to my skin. One product/ingredient I keep seeing that I'd love to know more about from you is CERAMIDES.
your son is SO ADORABLE!!! btw, you should do a video on baby skin products, myths and recommendations!
All these years I avoided fragrance and I loved good scents in my shampoos and soaps . Thank you for allowing me to live again 😂❤
Anytime someone says, “ I’m trying to be chemical free” I retort with “You’re chemicals” unoriginal I know, but true and one of the fastest way to get the point across
Congratulations on 300K subscribers, Dr Shereene Idriss 🎊
I really hope the skincare line you offer one day will be affordable
So great to hear you speak up as a qualified dermatologist on fragrance! I totally agree that people with sensitive skin and excema must avoid it, but why should the majority of the population be deprived of such an awesome sensory experience! The loudest voices representing a small minority are putting such pressure on the cosmecutical industry to exclude fragrances which is such a pity.
There are more fragranced than fragrance free/unscented products. Your options are far wider than they are for people who don't want fragrance. I can appreciate hearing from a dermatologist that fragranced options won't hurt many people, but people claiming advocating fragrance free skincare as fear mongering seems like overkill. If it is then it's been pretty ineffective fear mongering as far as the beauty industry goes. People are going to use what they like. Even St. Ives Apricot Scrub is still making money and it might be the only product that is universally demonized, condemned really, online.
@@ajae... for now 😉
Its skin care not politics. Its not that deep. Having sensitive skin sucks and now we have some choices. There is so much stuff that has fragrance i am pretty sure you are fine.
Thank you! I use Vaseline every day! It’s so good at holding in moisture! Also, that song break!!!! 💞
I now dab a little over my eye cream at night. Really seal in the moisture.
I'm just worried coz I have oily/ acne prone skin
Love the authenticity of your Videos Shereene! Awesome!! Truth spreader!!!!
I love hearing your no-nonsense information! What of the research that discovered, a number of years ago, that mineral oil took vitamin k out of your system (I don't know how much).
Fantastic video !!! You are an excellent teacher, I love learning from you about beauty and skincare. You are so right about mineral oil, it’s extremely excellent occlusive in creams etc- my skin is so thankful for the Cetaphil moisturisers available for sensitive skin.
Love your personality and vitality.
Beautiful woman!
Company's just don't have any ideas for new products so let's make chemical free , paraben free , highest percentage products.
Thank you for debunking fragrance.
I really enjoy my moisturizers and cleansers fragrance.
Love that you addressed fragrance. I use Algenist at night and it has a fragrance I love. I'm lucky that my skin isn't sensitive (but realize that's not true of others).
Can we start a pro-paraben movement? I hate that brands have to cave to this nonsense. I want preservatives in my products.
