This video is absolutely incredible❣️ I always refrain from asking questions because I know you are extremely busy juggling personal and professional obligations. And the fact that you recorded this after having several commitments…❤️ The creative vehicle of addressing the most common questions is pure genius-the concept may have been done by others but the way you impart knowledge is a gift. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yes Please! Make a video for products that help with body pigmentation, and body retinols. Fragrance-free and cruelty-free, if possible. Thank you so much!
I’ve been waiting a long time for a video that addresses BODY hyperpigmentation/scarring - especially for darker skin tones. PLEASE educate us on that.
My favorite black dermatologist, your skin is glowing. I’m waiting for your skincare line. I would like a video on peptide and the best product. Thanks
I'm waiting on the skincare line as well. 😍 Please also sell it in Europe if... when you get there in your journey. I second the video on peptides! Thank you!!
I would love a video specifically for body hyperpigmentation...for example areas neck, chest, back, butt (from acne) armpits, knees, shins, and bikini area.
I love the amount of information this doctor provides in every one of her videos that I've seen so far. They are extremely educational. Thank you so much.
I don’t want to be Beyoncé. I don’t want to be Cardi B. I don’t want to be you, but I aspire to be like you. With that being said, I DO WANT THE SKIN THO SIS! PERIODT. Have a wonderful day Dr. Stephens.
I’ve been using adapalene for 3 months now and I want to add snail mucin into my routine for a more hydrated skin! Is it okay. I use panoxyl face wash and or cerave foaming cleanser in the morning and cerave foaming cleanser in the night time with cerave moisturizing cream. Winter is coming and I don’t want to change my routine but I also want to keep my skin moisturized and I hope to not break out from not changing it up. What should I do?
This video was extremely helpful! Please would you do a video on body acne. Specifically chest and back acne. I've been suffering with these for years 😩
Thanks Dr! Your videos are soooo informative and helpful! ❤️ Please make a video recommending body products for body hyperpigmentation, dry skin and stretch marks🙏🏾
I use 0.05% tretinoin directly on my skin and follow it by a hydrating serum and a peptide cream, should I change the order? I don’t have any irritation
Hi Dr.Alexis do you have products recommendations for under eyes pigmentation and fine fines in this area ? I Love your videos ! 💕 And yes I would line to know more on product for body hyperpigmentation. I spent thousands on my skin with no results before I found about your channel and my skin improved so much thank you ! 💕
@@db-gb5xi thank you I already saw it I believe but I wanted to know more about anti-aging too when you have dark circles as she said we should use a specific retinol for this area 😊
I love a video on peptides. I am still confused on how to effectively work them in my skincare routine, because I know peptides and amino acids are harder to penetrate into the skin.
Hi, I'm busy binge watching all your video's 😳😭. Thank you so much. Please please do a video on morning and night routine for oily, acne prone and hyperpigmentation skin. If I may ask, For the cleansers in the am The inkey oat cleansing and for the pm either cerava foaming cleanser or cetaphil oil removing cleanser. I don't use make up just treating oily skin, acne and hyperpigmentation . Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks for the informative videos, we keep learning
Hi Dr. Alexis, I appreciate this video and your effort! I'd be curious as to your opinion on whether you prefer a low-percentage exfoliant (like a toner) more often, a mid-strength exfoliating mask once per week, or a peel once per month? In terms of efficacy and results alongside retinoids.
Hi there! I absolutely LOVE your videos!! Quick question: is it safe to use Panoxyl’s 10% Benzoyl Peroxide wash in the same routine as adapalene? Also, would you recommend PCA Skin’s C+E advanced serum for sensitive skin of color to use in the daytime and then adapalene at night? Thank you so much!!
Yes, I would definitely love to see a video about retinol use on body and actives too.❤️❤️❤️❤️your videos. Appreciate all you doing to educate and inform all WOC.
Yes please do a video on body products and also a general body routine (eg is it ok to physically exfoliate, how often exfoliating is recommended, does showering twice a day strip skin from natural oils, is it ok to use anti perspirants or are natural deodorants recommended etc)
People still say to put on sunscreen even on a cloudy day. UV rays still come through. I know it may seem like it’s not doing anything but unless it’s night, probably best just to keep your routine. Although since it’s winter, less of a need to reapply since it gets dark early
Excellent video! Your skin looks flawless! Use most of products you recommend but would like a video for wrinkles and sagging on mature skin for us senior citizens please!
I remember growing up my forehead used to be shiny all the time and I used to be self conscious about it. Now I’m chasing that “glass skin”, but my daily sunscreen does the job lol
i wish you make a video about closed commodes' i have a whole bunch of skin like pimples and when i squeeze they are always white heads. i have tried everything retionls , acidis , acne treatmeants but nothing really get them out unless i squeeze and they turn into acne and hyperpigmentation's . my skin texture is way better snice watching u but i want completely smooth skin ,lol
Since using a retinal regularly, I find less of a need to exfoliate with acids. My skin feels so smooth with the retinal alone that once I’ve used up my AHA and BHA I probably won’t repurchase. Retinal is a wonderful exfoliate on its own 😊
I am 60 and I use a gentle gel cleaner but I want to start using a retinol I heard that the max 24 is good for the woman of colour followed by niacinamide by the ordinary which I love is there any advice you can give I use sand and sky as a polish twice a week many thanks 😊
Thank you so much! This entire video is wonderful. I’d love for you to one day do a video on in office procedures (microdermabrasion, hydrafacials, etc) which are good for regular “upkeep” or to speed up cleaning up hyperpigmentation
Dr. Stephens would you say it’s safe to use a SA face wash every single morning if i see no irritation from it? I have oily, acne prone, hyperpigmentation prone skin and I’d like to get the benefits it offers for skin like mine. I also use adapalene on my face every other night.
I really this video. It’s very informative and takes the confusion out of how to properly use retinoids. And yes please do a video on peptides and anti aging skincare. Love x 3 your makeup! Thx for sharing! 👍🏽😊
Yes, please a video on peptides in skincare! Product recommendations and where to place in a routine would be very beneficial. Thank you for your videos. :)
Have you done a video about layering makeup over sunscreen? If we use the recommended amount of sunscreen, it is prone to pill from interacting with my skincare alone. How to layer makeup without pilling? Is this where foundation and primers with SPF may be useful by layering smaller amounts of sunscreen + SPF-containing primer + SPF-containing foundation until I reach adequate protection?
A video about how to achieve retain hair length for women 50+ (especially with fine 4c hair would be greatly appreciated. I am learning so much with you and sharing you videos with as many women as possible. Thank you so much Dr. Alexis for your very well presented and clear videos. May God continue to bless; protect and favour you and your family.
Hello doctor. first time watched your video and I am really impressed with your detailed answers. Could you guide me as well how to incorporate ACTIVES such as alpha arbutin, kojic acid or azelaic acid with hydroquinone on day time. or night time along with retinol and hydroquinone combination.
You are so pretty Dr. Stephens!! I wish your practice was in Atlanta! Do you know of any decent spray/mist sunscreens? When I leave for work it’s around 6am and still dark out. When I leave work it’s around 5pm and I know I need to reapply my sunscreen, but I already have on makeup and don’t want to rub cream all over my face.
I'd really be interested in what you think about Dr. Gross alpha beta extra strength daily peel pads. I'd also love a video on body hyper pigmentation products.
I'm new to your channel. Just subscribed yesterday and used your links to purchase products! Thank you so much for all you do. I am 40 and I have oily yet dehydrated skin. I'm interested in anti aging and keeping zits at bay because I still suffer from acne .
At night, I use Alpha Arbutin, then Niacinimide, then Olay Retinol for hyperpigmentation. I heard you said it's okay. Good to know, i have only started this regiment. In the AM, I only use a moisturizer with SPF, sometimes after HA in the winter.
Omg. I wish we have someone like you here in Germany. I saw many dermatologist but none of them were so good educated about skincare or treatments or something else. Thank you for sharing your Tipps and Tricks. Big hugs from Germany 🥰😘
Yes yes yes yes yes yes. Pleeeease do a video on peptides. Also, I've used Cyspera now for a few weeks but I think it's causing sensitivity. Are there any ingredients that clash with Cyspera? I am using retinol/glycolic pads in the evening followed by niacinamide btw.
-Cyspera in the morning and retinol at night is acceptable. 8:25 **I suspect that the Glycolic acid pads are adding excessive irritation. She specifically says to alternate toners (glycolic, salicylic…) with the retinol. 3:00. Maybe the Dr. will circle back and add further clarification🙂.
@@Jujubean9795 the pads are actually formulated with retinol as she's suggested (2:09). Also, I use Cyspera in the morning and the retinol/glycolic pads SOME nights, as suggested (3:36)... I've been using the pads for longer with no irritation but now that I've introduced Cyspera, there's irritation. My regimen is very mild with only 3 actives and I research cosmetic product ingredients to make sure they're noncomodogenic. I've noticed irritation mainly in the evenings when I wash my face at the end of the day (before using the pads and even when I've skipped the pads the night prior) rather than in the morning after I've slept... I chose to use Cyspera because the doctor explained it was not irritating to the skin... However my skin is reacting so it might be happening with others and worth a conversation/video.
Hi Dr Alexis Stephens, I very much enjoy your videos and would like to thank you for helping me clear my acne. My husband and I are going to try to conceive soon. I am wondering if I must stop using some of my acne products to prevent birth defects or any other consequences. Would you kindly confirm the acne products that are not recommended to use while pregnant? My morning skin routine consists of using a cetaphil foam wash, a neutrogena salicylic acid face wash, benzaclin, a ceraVe moisturizing cream, niacinamide + zinc (The Ordinary), alpha albutin + HA (The Ordinary). I use the same face washes at night and then apply retin a and ceraVe moisturizing cream at night. I am anxious to hear your answer since I fear that you will say that pretty much all the products I use must be stopped!
Dr. Alexis, I hope you get to see my comments. I love watching your videos, very informative. This is now my routine I also live in FLORIDA to be exact Orlando. A few months ago I started getting facials monthly because I had sun damage on my forehead and a little hyperpigmentation on my upper checks and around my mouth which has cleared up significantly. This is my routine in the morning: 1. Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap, 2. Thayers Facial Toner (original) 3. Cetacean Vitamin C serum, 4. African Shea butter for moisturizer and help fade dark marks 4. Aveeno sheer daily moisturizer Sunscreen. At Night1. Dr. Bronners Soap, 2. Facial Toner, 3. The perfect bleaching cream (from my esthetician) 4. Vitamin C Serum and I just introduce the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Serum Max to my regimen. Can you please let me know if I need to take away or add anything else. Thank you for your response.
This video was very helpful, I was waiting patiently for it! Thank you for answering my question directly and always looking out for us melanated folks 💜💜💜
DR.Alexis Yes yes please can you do a video on product to put on the body for anti aging and sensitive skin such as body wash and oils and good lotion ....also thank you so much for your videos really appreciate them very informative.
Thank you for your stellar work. I would welcome a video on retinol eye creams. Every product says to avoid the delicate eye area, so my face is transformed, but the skin around my eyes remains dull and needs attention. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. Stephens! I'm blessed to be able to afford Skinbetter products, looove them and they work. Just for reference, I'm a medium-deep skinned woman in my late 40s, oily-combination skin with mild acne and some ridiculous hyperpigmentatiom/dull skin issues. Started using Cyspera in May 2021-on my 2nd tube now. Still using it daily and my skin is improving. My routine (very simple) includes products Dr. Alexis mentioned-and they work beautiful-esp. For my reactive skin. AM routine: 1. Cyspera for 15-20 mins. 2. IS clinical cleansing complex 3. Skinbetter Science ALTO Defense Serum (for vitamin c) 4. ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Emulsion SPF 50 (does leavr a bit of a cast-which later dissapears) PM routine: includes double cleansing: 1a. Elemis cleansing balm 1b. IS Clinical cleansing complex 2. Eye cream-Eyemax by Skinbettet 3. A Retinoid-Skinbetter Science Alpharet Overnight Creme (For the next 2 weeks, I will be trying Skinbetter Clearing Serum-got samples-will update.) 4. Treatment: Once a week one on Tuesdays and the mask on Fridays-Skinbetter Science peeling pads(so strong and I use with the TRIO Moisturizer)/a clay mask. Love Skinbetter Science products.🙏🏽
I need advice on my skin care, I've been battling with hyperpigmentation and I just decided to get into a routine AM: Dr rashel HA face wash Dr rashel vitamin c serum Nineless azelaic acid 10% Skin aqua sunscreen PM: Dr rashel HA face wash Dr rashel retinol (once a week) Dr rashel HA sérum (when not using retinol) Simple hydrating moisturiser
Hi Dr.Alex, can you please talk about copper .peptides? Some say you can't mix copper peptides with vitamin C or glycolic acids. Is it true? Or can you wait just a few minutes and apply one or the other?
I have dry eczema prone skin as well and I do have slight chin and forehead acne ….any recommendations on a acne targeting face wash that’s effective by not extremely drying
I am 57 years old with oily skin an large pores however I do not have acne. I use SkinCeutical products can you please tell me if the products that I am using are correct : For my morning routine I use : LHA cleansing gel , conditioning toner , Phloretin CF , Daily moisture moisturizer and Black Girl 45 SPF sunscreen from Target. For my night time routine I use the LHA cleansing gel , conditioning toner , retinol 0.3 , and the daily moisture moisturizer. I just started using the retinol 5/24/2022 and the Phloretin CF 5/16/2022 . The other products I have used for years. Again all of the products are made by SkinCeutical except the Black Girl sunscreen. Thank you .
I really need a Skin Care routine. I have Dry Acne skin. I do get microdermabrasion once a month. I have dark spots, red cheeks from roesea. My rosecea is better now and so is my acne. i do get hormonal acne. I am thinking about buy a lot of Eva Naturals, Ordinary and Elf products. my skin care Morning and Night is the same. Eminence Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser Ordinary Niamicide 10% w Zinc Eva Naturals Ultra Moisturizing Hydrating Gel ELF Moisturizing face Cream sometimes 1-2 days a week I use Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion or Baking soda face scrub.
I love your videos! You really are a lifesaver :) My question: I'm currently on tretinoin 0.05 and finacea. My acne is way better than it was (I moved up to the 0.05 from the 0.04 in June) but it hasn't gone away completely. Would you suggest moving to 0.1 tretinoin?
YALL she is DA TRUF she saved my skin 😭. Take notes kids.
Thanks so much and so glad the tips have helped you!
@@DrAlexisStephens yes I would love to learn about retinol products for the body. Thx!
@@DrAlexisStephens the retinol for the body you recommended is a body wash, correct? If so, I didn't know rinse off would be effective.
@@DrAlexisStephens is it ok to have laser done while using a retinoid?

I read that when you stop using retinol, effects are reversible. Is it true?
Hi Dr Alexis Stephens,
I very much enjoy your videos and would like to thank you for helping me clear my acne. My husband and I are going to try to conceive soon. I am wondering if I must stop using some of my acne products to prevent birth defects or any other consequences. Would you kindly confirm the acne products that are not recommended to use while pregnant? My morning skin routine consists of using a cetaphil foam wash, a neutrogena salicylic acid face wash, benzaclin, a ceraVe moisturizing cream, niacinamide + zinc (The Ordinary), alpha albutin + HA (The Ordinary). I use the same face washes at night and then apply retin a and ceraVe moisturizing cream at night. I am anxious to hear your answer since I fear that you will say that pretty much all the products I use must be stopped!
Can you tell me what product will help my back acne?
I use vie naturelle acne body spray. It has benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid
yes please with the peptides video! I am always confused about peptides
Dr. Alexis, I hope you get to see my comments. I love watching your videos, very informative. This is now my routine I also live in FLORIDA to be exact Orlando. A few months ago I started getting facials monthly because I had sun damage on my forehead and a little hyperpigmentation on my upper checks and around my mouth which has cleared up significantly. This is my routine in the morning: 1. Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap, 2. Thayers Facial Toner (original) 3. Cetacean Vitamin C serum, 4. African Shea butter for moisturizer and help fade dark marks 4. Aveeno sheer daily moisturizer Sunscreen.
At Night1. Dr. Bronners Soap, 2. Facial Toner, 3. The perfect bleaching cream (from my esthetician) 4. Vitamin C Serum and I just introduce the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Serum Max to my regimen. Can you please let me know if I need to take away or add anything else. Thank you for your response.
Does your esthetician sell the bleaching cream?
Excellent Dr Alexis..!Always so informative.Thank you so much for such great information.God blessings.
I use Elta md sunscreen on my face and Neutrogena on my neck/ chest & back of hands. Elta md, to me, is too expensive to use all over.
This video was very helpful, I was waiting patiently for it! Thank you for answering my question directly and always looking out for us melanated folks 💜💜💜
DR.Alexis Yes yes please can you do a video on product to put on the body for anti aging and sensitive skin such as body wash and oils and good lotion ....also thank you so much for your videos really appreciate them very informative.
Thank you for your stellar work.
I would welcome a video on retinol eye creams. Every product says to avoid the delicate eye area, so my face is transformed, but the skin around my eyes remains dull and needs attention. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. Stephens!
I'm blessed to be able to afford Skinbetter products, looove them and they work.
Just for reference, I'm a medium-deep skinned woman in my late 40s, oily-combination skin with mild acne and some ridiculous hyperpigmentatiom/dull skin issues.
Started using Cyspera in May 2021-on my 2nd tube now. Still using it daily and my skin is improving.
My routine (very simple) includes products Dr. Alexis mentioned-and they work beautiful-esp. For my reactive skin.
AM routine:
1. Cyspera for 15-20 mins.
2. IS clinical cleansing complex
3. Skinbetter Science ALTO Defense Serum (for vitamin c)
4. ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Emulsion SPF 50 (does leavr a bit of a cast-which later dissapears)
PM routine: includes double cleansing:
1a. Elemis cleansing balm
1b. IS Clinical cleansing complex
2. Eye cream-Eyemax by Skinbettet
3. A Retinoid-Skinbetter Science Alpharet Overnight Creme (For the next 2 weeks, I will be trying Skinbetter Clearing Serum-got samples-will update.)
4. Treatment: Once a week one on Tuesdays and the mask on Fridays-Skinbetter Science peeling pads(so strong and I use with the TRIO Moisturizer)/a clay mask.
Love Skinbetter Science products.🙏🏽

Hi Dr.Alex, can you please talk about copper .peptides? Some say you can't mix copper peptides with vitamin C or glycolic acids. Is it true? Or can you wait just a few minutes and apply one or the other?
I'ma need Dr Stephens to give us her on camera makeup application because ya girl is FLAWLESS
I have dry eczema prone skin as well and I do have slight chin and forehead acne ….any recommendations on a acne targeting face wash that’s effective by not extremely drying
I am 57 years old with oily skin an large pores however I do not have acne. I use SkinCeutical products can you please tell me if the products that I am using are correct : For my morning routine I use : LHA cleansing gel , conditioning toner , Phloretin CF , Daily moisture moisturizer and Black Girl 45 SPF sunscreen from Target. For my night time routine I use the LHA cleansing gel , conditioning toner , retinol 0.3 , and the daily moisture moisturizer. I just started using the retinol 5/24/2022 and the Phloretin CF 5/16/2022 . The other products I have used for years. Again all of the products are made by SkinCeutical except the Black Girl sunscreen. Thank you .

Eminence Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser
Ordinary Niamicide 10% w Zinc
Eva Naturals Ultra Moisturizing Hydrating Gel
ELF Moisturizing face Cream
sometimes 1-2 days a week I use Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion or Baking soda face scrub.
Wow! Where have you been all my life?!!! Currently studying to be an esthetician. Your videos are courses on their own!. Thank you doctor.
I love your videos! You really are a lifesaver :)
My question: I'm currently on tretinoin 0.05 and finacea. My acne is way better than it was (I moved up to the 0.05 from the 0.04 in June) but it hasn't gone away completely. Would you suggest moving to 0.1 tretinoin?
On Paula's Choice I read that Retinol and AHA exfoliants boost each other. What's your take on that?
Wow congrats on all of your t.v. features 🙌🙌🙌
