It takes 12 years to be a dermatologist... TWELVE.... so I trust you more than these “skincare influencers” Thank you for educating us!
it gets confusing when some skinfluencers touting HA are also dermatologists lol
Took the words right out of my mouth - agreed!
well only 3 is actually training in dermatology fyi.
Got an appointment with a dermatologist yesterday n I knew more than her surprisingly 🤭🤭🤭
Wanted her to prescribe otc for tretinoin but she said retinol n retinoids are same n recommended some retinol cream 🙄🙄
This woman has just destroyed my skin care routine, and i love it
😂😂😂
😂
Me too hahahah
Meee toooo! Duped!
😢 samw
Finally, someone that is explaining HA correctly! I am an esthetician and instructor been telling this to people for years and no one believed me. Thank you Dr. Sheereene xo
Hi - this is re: topical application right? Not applicable for injectables like profhilo?
@@archanapcvinjection is good but don’t over do it
micro injections are best
she also uses Garnier products. yeah nah not healthy or good for yr skin👀🙄🤯
@@karinamaissin7890 erm she doesn't! She has mentioned repeatedly that Garnier is bad. She uses Bioderma micellar water, and the bottle looks the same as Garnier.
Wow, I have used HA for YEARS and honestly never once did I truly feel like it made a difference for my dry skin. Now here I am at 31 with severe eczema on my face. Marketing really did a number on some of us!
Girl SAME. 31 with eczema all over my face! I’ve had eczema since I was a kid but NEVER like this on my face. I would get it on my eyelids and a little around my nose. Now I have perioral dermatitis 😑. I used to tolerate it alright but now my skin it hates it lol. I didn’t even pay attention to how many products I had with HA until I started watching her videos!
Dr. Idriss ilyyyy 💕 I wish I had discovered you sooner 😭
I mean I'm sure there must have been other factors that made my skin worse but now what worries me is, how do I restore it back to its better time?!! Can anyone help?😭
On most of us (
@@glow6871 very gentle cleanser, Cetaphil moisturizing cream, and an occlusive layer over that like Vaseline. And cut out added sugar. It makes such a difference in my skin. And my husband, who has psoriasis, cleared it up completely after changing his diet
When you have products, you have to apply them properly for them to work. Hyaluronic acid is a water loving hydrophilic molecule. Your face should be damp. Right after washing it is the proper time to put it on your face. Use some rose water, coconut water, or aloe water to provide moisture if you need to. Otherwise, the hyaluronic acids will such the moisture from your skin leaving it dryer than before. Use an oil like Pomifera Rose to moisturizer and lock in the moisture. Pomifera Rose will be absorbed into your skin. It’s an amazing new oil for the skin. It acts like an occlusive to hold in moisture. Check out Pomifera Rose oil blend or the pure version. I used to be a consultant, but I’m not now
My aesthetician looked at me like I was crazy when I told her I felt like my moisturizer with HA was actually drying out my skin. So happy I found this video, thank you!!
Do you live in a dry or humid climate?
Same happened to mi with Hada Labo hyaluronic acid and I couldn't understand
SAME!!

@@sarahmoon9857 omg I switched from Hada Labo toner+moisturizer (the ones with HA) to a moisturizer without HA and it was like night and day!
Dr. Shereen Idriss literally saved my skin. My sensitive/combination skin got better since I stopped using HA.
Me too! I have acne-prone skin and since stopping HA its calmed down a lot
I am an advocate of HA (an esthetician as well) use it in my skin care routine religiously....but upon this very clear and easy to understand explanation, im definitely reconsidering. Thank you!!
I found this exact thing out in two strange ways. First my Gynecologist prescribed a product with HA in it for menopausal dryness and it caused massive redness, burning and even bleeding, then my ophthalmologist prescribed eye drops with HA for eye dryness which caused more dryness and burning. If it wasn’t for both situations I wouldn’t have put it together but HA was the only common denominator. So happy this video popped up on my feed today.
@@Name14daysoh my goodness! I would have never guessed this or put these two together. I have blepharitis in the eyes and the opthalmologist prescribed Systane eye drops several times a day. I have been trying to be on top of it, but I feel like my eyes have been more itchy. Ugh. Going to have to look into this!
So glad this was brought up!
Use coconut oil for the vaginal dryness. Perfectly natural and no side effects
Shereene woke up today and chose violence. 😂
My mind 🤯 can’t handle this revelation!
😩😩😩😩😂😂😂😂
I feel like she makes that choice every day lol
Me too. :(((( lol Im using the neutrogena hydroboost gel cream underneath my normal moisturizer and thought my skin was improving but if long term is not going to help, I will now have to review my skin care lol
@@solangegoncalvesbarbosabal8701 Why change it if it helps - this is no universal law, it's just one derm's opinion. If your skin does well with hyaluronic acid continue using it.
@@ninninin656 if a dermatologist tells me and explains how a certain product over the long-term will dehydrate my skin I am listening. I'm not wasting my precious money!
Not only is this woman helping educate me on skincare, she’s also making me laugh. She’s hilarious!!!
Yeah she's awesome - funny and cool and smart and attractive. She said "There's my little bitch (hyaluronic acid)!" LoL
Dr. Idriss is educating and hilarious. She makes going to class fun!
Well, you just found a new subscriber! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in educational skin care instruction video. You are brilliant, you are gorgeous and…as they say in the theater a triple threat, particularly to the cosmetic industry, and I am here for that!! Gorgeous, funny and suuupperrrr smart! 🎉❤💜🙋🏼♀️🇨🇦🕊☃️❄️ greeting from the North where the dry, arid, occasionally freezing atmosphere can make every thing on you pucker! Looking forward to more of your expertise!
This is the most important skin care video I've come across. Thank you for debunking the craziness going on about HA. I have experienced people in beauty stores, drugstores, everywhere correcting me when I have said HA dries my skin up, making it appear like a ten year old newspaper.
I bought HA today for the first time and applied on my skin. I immediately came to conclusion that it is not at all hydrating. Then i applied Glycerin, and my skin is shining. Glad i have not been trapped in this HA thing for long. Debunked within a day after watching your video 😂
You need to eat it as well.
I bought it two days ago and started a skincare routine 😭 and it ended today
But isn't glycerin again drawing the hydration away from your skin in a similar way as HA?
And this is why I don’t follow skincare influencers who aren’t dermatologists. Thank you so much for educating us.
I never do either!
I appreciate people like Hyram, who gives a disclaimer every single time that he is not a doctor and tries not to speak beyond his knowledge. Moody of the time, I agree, though.
Dr. Dray Dermatologist does a lot of Tik Tok skin care debunks. She’s awesome too! :)
@@birdgirl1516 I don’t trust her. She has too many paid sponsorships.
@@CeeCee630 exactly, i dont trust her too.
OK but speaking about lips, PLEASE do an entire video dedicated to lip care please please please😭
YESSS!!! I have chronically dry lips and I’ve tried everything !! Lip balm, no lip balm, Vaseline, hyaluronic acid (gag!), honey, olive oil, pure paraffin, pure lanolin. I hope she sees this!
@@taring9 i had the same issue! Only thing that ever saved
My lips is: clinique moisture surge lip balm!
@@user-zx1ii7vf2z actually we can drink all the water we want.. it unfortunately doesn't help dry, chapped lips...( I drink 2 litres a day , and always have chapped lips). And brushing teeth has nothing to do with chapped lips... unless your using the toothbrush to brush lips to exfoliate??
Ive been using hyaluronic acid for months and see no change. Waste of money.
Apply pure vitamin e oil on your lips. My sun damage scars on my lips have faded now.
@@purple2275 u had a scar on lips from sun damage? What did it look like
I live in the desert and keep trying HA’s to help with my dry skin. It just has gotten worse and worse and I finally stopped all my things except moisturizer and it fixed my problems. I stopped with the HA and didn’t understand why it didn’t work for me. Thank you for helping me realize I am not crazy!
do u use it on dry or damp.skin??
@@abdullahafzal5800, on damp skin it will soak the skin from the very bottom. First the damp moisture, then all the layers of the skin. Speaking from first hand experience. I wish HA was forbidden to use in skincare.
glycerin glycerin glycerin! and maybe add some polyglutamic acid from the inkey list. My skin loves it :)
I started a Neutrogena hyaluronic acid to my skincare routine and my skin is so irritated and dry!!!! I have never had this issue. Thank you for being truthful. My poor skin😢
lol I'm dying at the zoolander reference. "Water is the essence of wetness. and wetness is the essence of beauty" 😂😂😂😂😂 waateerrr
i know right. lol
Merman!, MERMAN!!
She won my heart with this.
Can we all appreciate for a moment how beautiful all these blues look on Doc? The headband, the jumper 🫐💙🌊💙
Omg yes....💖 that headband
I need that headband 💜
This is fabulous! I got caught up in the HA hype and I swear my skin became inflamed but I could not understand why. THIS explains everything! Thank you!!
Thanks Dr. Shereene, now it all makes since why my skin doesn't look any better after bathing it with HA. It's sad that even reputable dermathologists have been misleading us. Thank you for providing the facts based on science. I appreciate you.
I never liked anyone so much on TH-cam! You are awesome! We really appreciate you!
Me too!! She is so down to earth!!! AND NOT BIASED!!!!!
Thank you so muchhhhhhh
@@shereeneidriss you are the REALIST!!!!
Facts!! 🙌🏽❤️
Right? We need to get the word out for her. I can't watch Dr. Dray because her voice is grating, she's humorless and the whole eating disorder thing disturbs me. What a breath of fresh air Dr. Idriss is!!
James Welsh looking at this like, “👀 I TOLD YOU ALL!!”
I thought the same thing! And, mind you, UK is a pretty damp place.
Personally, I saw the difference when moving from a climate with 60-70% humidity to one with 40% humidity.
LMAO IKR?!
@Hello It's K ik weet niet waar je woont, ik woon in Limburg en kwam vandaag buiten. 20 graden, regen maar ontzettend benauwd en mijn krullen waren na 10 minuten volledig ontploft. Ik keek net naar mijn weer app.. 95% vochtigheid! Nu is mijn vraag, waar moet ik tijdens zo’n weer rekening mee houden mbt hydratatie van mijn huid en haar?
I was thinking the exact same thing!
You just saved my skin. I’ve been using a few products and I couldn’t figure out why my skin was so dry and sensitive but now i know!! ❤
Thank goodness for you and this video! So refreshing to find a real professional not in the pocket of the pharma/cosmetic industry!! Thank you for cutting thru all the hype and presenting the truth keep it up...hope your videos get the attention they deserve! Loved this!
Glycerin on your next video please!! Need to know more ASAP
Yes!
Yes! Please
was just about to ask about glycerin cuz i always thought it was basically the same as HA
From what I learned about the use of hyaluronic acid serum, you should not use it on dry skin. Because if you do, it'll cause exactly what you say by drawing the moisture it wants from your skin.
First, you wet your skin with water, then while it is still wet you use the hyaluronic acid to bind that water, and then while it is still wet you use a moisturizer to lock that on the top of your skin so it doesn't evaporate.
Glycerin would apparently work just as well, but you don't really see glycerin serums in the drugstore. But yes, to use hyaluronic acid on its own is actually drying and all those skincare products manufacturers should be sued for spreading misinformation.
Super effective 👍
That’s still not effective for those in dry climates
I dont know which influencers said so. I have watched mamy videos nd almost everyone clarified to use it on damp skin and then lock it with moisturizer.
i do exactly that and when i wake up i feel my skin drier
I've been using glycerin with my moisturizer and it's turned my skin from dry and flakey to really soft and supple
I literally LOVED what she had to say!!!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZED THIS... SO FREAKIN TRUE!
I get panic attacks now when I think about buying any kind of facial products. I can't believe this I am beginning to hate these big companies they don't care anything about the people they're selling it to. In a way they are slowly poisoning the human population something should be done. I definitely applaud you for making all of this known. Bless you with love and light dear one
Thank you! Finally glad to see someone well educated to share the real science behind all this. I love it, and also how you incorporate humour in your videos. I have been trying to explain this to others as well.
I thought I was crazy for feeling like The Ordinary HA just dried me out??? thank u Shereene
I thought I was the only one. That shit sucked me dry. I even try to put it on with my skin dripping wet. Still dried me out
Noooo I just ordered it yesterday 🥴😢
@@earthling_nadia9628 I use it and like it.
No ur skin was going crazy lol
I hate that product so much. It's called cheap but yeah it's 30ml and it's not even as well formulated as the Korean toners which are 150 ml and only 2-3 times more of the price. Sticky AF, even the pipe can't hold it. Doesn't absorb fast enough and dries me out when it's finally absorbed. I always try to use moisturizer as soon as possible but I still feel dry after The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid.
I learned to apply hyaluronic acid to damp skin only never on to dry skin and then to always seal it in with an occlusive barrier. That is the only way it is going to work without transepidermal water loss.
It won’t penetrate deep into the dermis, but it will make the top layer of skin look really nice if you do it correctly!
They don’t teach people how to apply hyaluronic acid properly on the labels of products...
Correct
that exactly how i use it and it has worked well for me, no dryness! even when my desert-dry body skin got dry in winter due to the heater, my face did not feel dry or tight. ( i dont put HA on my body obviously, just my face)
So now I need recommendations for a retinol without HA. I’ve looked for about 30 minutes now, including products that Shereene has recommended in the past, and I can’t find one. Literally everything in my cabinet has it... every single product.
You are absolutely right, that's how I use it and my skin looks super moisturized... like glass. Frankly, are people that stupid?
@@andreadavies3170 The Ordinary do a retinol in squalane (can't remember if it's squalene or squalane, but either way, it's water and humectant-free). :)
Hyaluronic acid really helped my skin plump and once I stopped cos I couldn't afford it any more my skin immediately started drying up.
Honestly I think it's all about the brand and the quality. I'm looking forward to buying it again once I can afford it
What would my skincare journey be without the guidance of dr. Shereene Idriss. I don't even know. Thank you so much for your generousity to share some great deep knowledges about skincare. ❤❤
My late grandmother was a real beauty. She had the most beautiful, alabaster, flawless skin at the age of 94 years. She never watched TH-cam or bought any overhyped product in her life. One thing I learned from her is to stay away from overhyped and overpriced magic potions. Personally I do think there are three magic potions which has transformed my 44 year old skin. They are Tretinoin, Vit C and 50 plus sunscreen. People think I am 30 years old 🤣
Do you mean vitamin c serum... May I know which vitamin serum do you use
Thanks for mentioning
What brand u use
I can’t find any
Wasted my money
Exactly. Tretinoin, sunscreen, aha/bha, moisturizer and botox are my fountains of youth.
Do you mind telling us how you use/she uses Vit C since it is so unstable?
Milli those are the only products I use too. After going through a phase of using a million products, I just use Vit C and sunscreen in the morning and Retin A at night. Done in a few minutes instead of spending hours putting crap on my face.
my lab advisor broke my heart about HA when I was 18, been two years i’ve been begging ppl to read the methods section to see how the study defines “sinking in”
Thank you so much for your point of view. Once I started using it on its on my face my eczema flare up went crazy. I couldn't point out what it was but once I stopped using it I noticed a a huge difference. Thank you so much for educating us.
Thanks for the honest truth, I am a beauty therapist and get so spooked at the many claims many manufacturers have over hyaluronic acid, and just how expensive it is becoming coz many seem to be worshiping it. It’s also great that you have mentioned about Glycerine be cause it is equally a humectant that is cheap, easily accessible and still offers same results moisture wise.
... this literally just answered my questions of why my skin is so dry lately. Wow I’m mad at myself, but so glad There is a dermatologist out there who presents her viewers with evidence based medicine 🙌
It’s true, lately I’m applying Vichy HA Serum and I noticed my skin is kind of dry when it wasn’t before and I was wondering why. Sorted it. Thank you
So, did stopping it help?
Do you guys apply water with it?
@@accountfortruthfulreviews677, applying HA on moist skin doesn't help
I always wondered why Hyaluronic Acid never seemed to work on my dry, dehydrated skin when, reading the blurb, it should have been the perfect solution. Now I know why, and also why I find glycerine-based products far more soothing and efficient. Thank you, Dr. Idriss! 💕
Glycerin works by the same mechanism.
hi! I have super dry skin and I had the same reaction with HA. You have to apply it to damp skin (I use spray on rose water) as it works better. After it's dry you seal it in with a moisturizer :)
Same dear, same :(
Glycerin is not the same thing. It’s easily tolerated and works better than HA.
@@zyxzyx3030 glycerin has a smaller molecular weight that can penetrate to the dermis. And so draws water from your blood stream x
I am so thankful for this extremely educational video. You also destroyed my skincare routine (suffer from dry skin) and I couldn’t thank you enough!! 🙏🏼
This is fantastic ! You are the only one I will listen to from now on!.. truth-speak, gold star knowledge🌟.
I hate that HA is in EVERYTHING it’s so hard to avoid. I’ve 100% noticed the drying effects and am having a hard time avoiding it bc a lot of the helpful ingredients in products I like also contain HA even my occlusive moisturizers! So frustrating but I’m grateful to hear I’m not the only one to experience the dryness I thought it was just me!
Right there with you! It really killed my skin. I now use Pixi products - no HA. I know people knock Pixi because of all the oils, but it literally saved my skin.
@@janeburkhart4051 it’s so comforting to know that I’m not the only one! I really hope this trend dies out!! I’ve never had dry skin until about three months ago when I overhauled my skin care routine and basically went from doing nothing to using really expensive skin care 😑 it’s completely dehydrated my face! A complete backfire of my goal to increase hydration and decrease fine lines etc. spent so much money I’m really not happy about that! I’ll definitely have to look into pixie!! Right now I’ve been using a moisturizer with mineral oil and I feel like people REALLY hate on mineral oil LOL but it’s the absolute only thing that’s helped so far!! So crazy I paid money for dry skin 🤦🏼♀️ ugh I guess I’m happy I at least learned this relatively quickly I know to avoid it going forward!!
I agree, it's hard to find things without it. I live in a mild / moderate humidity area and have switched my products around to only use HA containing serums in the daytime, and so far I've noticed an improvement, particularly in flaking near my eyes. Luckily my moisturizers don't contain any HA, but the serums all do. Moving forward I will try to look for serums without it (when possible), avoid all "dedicated" HA serums, and keep using HA-free moisturizers. Hopefully this does the trick.
@@bdutka30 That’s where I’m at too. I’m certainly not about to throw away all my serums but no dedicated HA and I’m looking form more HA free moisturizers especially ones with more occlusive ingredients! So far I think it’s helped!
*Me low key being scared for Shereene while she exposes the Skin industry!!*
🤣 🤣
Don't be scared feel empowered
Yup! Her-“don’t use much Niacinimide” video was similar...!!!
Let the truth be known-they would have to prove her wrong and they can’t do that.
She’ll be fine she has her own business
Never ever have I heard someone explain science in such a light and funny way! You are fantastic! I've learned so much from you. Thank you sooo much❤
I stopped using my HA serum for like 2 weeks now and have recently noticed a huge improvement on my skin. Thanks for the tip doc
Before hyaluronic acid was in anything, it was in serums which you put on, then you put moisturizer over. That worked beautifully, so everybody started adding it to their cream/lotion/potion and upset the balance. Those of us who've been using skincare longer than a minute know this.
So putting it on on its own, then a moisturizer won't be drying?
I use it on a damp face and then use a moisturizer. That works for me.
Lmao @ longer than a minute!
@@honeypowerI have to spray my face with water first. And sometimes I mix in glycerin.
You, Dr Alexis Stephens, the those Doctorly guys, are THE ONLY people on TH-cam I listen to in regards to skincare. Thank you for educating me and saving me money! I truly appreciate it!
You might be interested in checking out Dr. Davin Lim as well. He had a great vid on the truth about HA a few years ago as well. Also awesome content 👏🏻
ik u’ve probably heard of her but dr. dray is great as well!
But but the Doctorly guys... They've recommended the Vilchy 89 Hialuronic Acid. Now I wonder if I can trust them 😤
+ Dr. Dray. literally the only people I'd take skincare advice from.
You should also check Dr Sam's Bunting especially if you have sensitive skin. She has been making videos for years !!!!
I feel like not a lot of people actually know how to use HA correctly….You’re supposed to dampen the crap out of your face, and then put it on. HA itself is not hydrating, but mixed with water it allows the water to sink into your skin, and can be very hydrating.
I literally used it on soaking wet face, literally dripping & not letting it get too dry, then using moisturizer, it ruined my skin & i just realized it 2 years later
I think you didnt watch the video correctly, it doesnt matter what you do with it it will
not “sink in” to the place where it’s needed - the dermis. Its just sits at the top and not doing much longterm. It literally is taking water from your skin afterwards no matter how much water you put on your skin. Whats the point of the HA if you need to put a moisturizer on after, it takes the moisture from the moisturizer. Like whats the point 😂
You’re exactly right! I can literally see my face plump up after I use it. It has made a HUGE difference. Can’t even see my acne scars when I use it. It NEEDS water work so I always apply it to a wet face
thank you for ur honest review and honest information as u can see even alot of dermatologist claiming that hyaluronic is a miracle serum will plumb my skin
I’m just waiting now for all ‘skinfluencers’ to make the fake apology/things I was wrong about video…that’s why you should listen/go to dermatologist in the first place 🙌
I also only follow MDs or PhDs in dermatology.
@@sct4040 me too. With all the derm's offering educated facts I've stopped watching all 'skincare experts' on youtube/insta/tiktok. Honestly, my skin has never looked better and I am spending WAYYYY less on products. Derms recommend products that work at all price ranges... I must have spent thousands over the last few years on influencer recommended sephora skincare when I could have been using CerVe, La roche-posay and Aveeno all along!!
Thank you this has answered so many questions for me. My skin is so so red lately. So glad I started following you. X
to be fair james welsh is a skinfluencer and has spoken multiple times about how using too many products with hyaluronic acid had a negative impact on his kin, which it isn't even really his fault because it's really hard to find products that don't have it.
That’s true after speaking with my current dermatologist, i manage to simplify my routine as she checked that my routine kinda redundant . After watching this, i might getting rid another step after i finish it.
you should post references! would be nice for people who are also in medicine or just understand biochemistry/like to read papers
Thank you so much for this information! I've used plenty of HA products over the years and this video helped me understand why I wasn't seeing the "miracle" effects!
You are an absolute DELIGHT! I so appreciate your knowledge and how you present information in your videos! Thank you!
10:20 for everyone who wants to know the tea fast.
Thanks, there was too much blah. I was about to exit the video.
You are the real mvp 👊🏽
😁😅🤦♀️
Thx
Thx
Can you please do an affordable skincare routine? Basically your AM & PM routine but on a budget but just as good in terms of quality . This would be so helpful! Thank you 😊
I trust there already is one of them on TH-cam. One on her channel and one on Vogue I guess :)
@@FB6418 oh wow thanks ! I really appreciate it
The problem with derms is that they have access to laser resurfacing and botox at work so they don't really need any products except maybe a moisturiser?
@@ksc743 uhhhh no? you still need the standard skincare products. without vitamin c, retinoids, sunscreen, no amount of in office treatments can make up for that. they’re just add ons. you’re saying that they don’t have to wash their face because they have treatments?
@@elizabethxiao7149 in office treatments are Not add-ons!! They are actually The Backbone of anti-ageing skincare - if one can afford them. Laser therapy, depending on which laser is used, lasts a few years. Then there is LED light therapy (which they have access to every day if they want) and is Very effective, plus chemical peels and botox and fillers.
Obviously after any ablative treatment skin will be very sensitive for weeks and derms will use whatever they recommend their clients use during this downtime. Sunscreen will also always be on their list.
Of course they must wash their faces lol! I'm just saying their face regime can likely be much simpler than the ordinary person in the street who cannot afford expensive in-office treatments on a regular basis.
I was about to checkout HA to try because of the hype but I'm glad I saw this vid and immediately subscribed. Very informational, thank you Doc
So good to see someone sharing this!
Here I am.. one whole year after you posted this.. it’s everywhere in my cupboard and on my cosmetics carousels!! Soo, so happy I caught this jewel of a gem of good advice! ❤️❤️🥰
i love how expressive and passionate you are when you explain stuff
Ugh! Love how simple your explain everything ❤️
I’ve never had any luck with HA- sooo appreciate this info!
Many thanks
I would love her to do a comparison video of all the humectants, a derm has never done that on TH-cam before and it would be awesome
Listening to this is like listening to an exciting story!! Love it and thank you for the truth !!
I'm so blessed to have found this channel 💞😭
Love it! I did micro needling and was told to use it. I am on steroids now since it inflamed my skin and the redness got worse as I increase the frequency of HA. Wished I found your video sooner.
What you’ve described is exactly my experience with hyaluronic acid. Thank you for clearing this up!
You are incredible! I am a biochemistry major and I am living for your run down of how these chemicals are use in beauty products. You are very inspiring, and so funny guuurl!

Hi! I wanna be a biochemistry student too. How did you like your specialization at college?
@@SannaJankarin Hey, I'm a biochem student (3rd year undergraduate) in the U.K. I love biochemistry! It can be hard but it can take you to so many places, whether you stay in academia, or transition into industry, medicine, law or finance, and gives you a lot of skills (critical thinking/reading, mathematics, organic chemistry, lab skills, problem solving, and in my case essay writing as at my uni we write at least 1 essay a week). As I'm in the U.K. we don't have a minor, just study biochem for 4 years straight, and I like it that way. I hope that helps!
This explains so much to me! I tried and tried, and tried to use HA but to no avail. I finally gave up and removed it from my skin care routine completely, assuming I must be allergic. Every time I tried it, I would break out in my skin would get red and angry. I feel so vindicated!
I just found you! So glad I found this .I have been using HA for months and kept telling myself I needed to use it longer (everyone says how good it is just give it more time) but I definitely noticed a increase in all the negatives on my skin since using. I will stop now and trust my body and your advice!!
My long term experiment with skin care products is saying she's absolutely right! HA made my skin super dry, sensitive and helped to reveal my fine lines! Thanks Dr. that I meet you here. Also, way of your speaking is really cool... Again, thanks so much for spreading awareness.
I always suspected that HA was behind my skin woes. I refused to believe that it was causing my issues because of the hype it has but Im glad that someone has spoken about this.
Your channel deserves to have more views. I subscribed the moment you said these dermatologists are sleeping with the skin care companies. PREACH!!! I can’t count how many time I’ve seen and heard how pharma/chemical making companies pay doctors to market their products that most of them don’t work the way they are advertised. It’s crazy. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I have been questioning this ingredient and its effect on my skin for a while now. Glad to have m suspicions confirmed.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt HA was drying me out when I bought it as a serum so I stopped using it but you've just made me realise why Purito Centella Unscented Serum feels like it's drying me out too - it has HA in it but it's listed as Sodium Hyaluronate so I didn't know! Thank you! ❤️
"Sodium hyaluronate...there's my little bi***!" hahahaha
I replayed that so many times!! 😂
I love her style of teaching, right?!
i fell out LMAOOO
I use red ginseng, I have that "glass skin" everyone wants. I'm 41 and look 21. Look into it!
Lmao 🤣
Absolutely amazing!!! informative, entertaining and the information is easy to understand. I declare myself as your new fan! there is so much lack of information or wrong information circulating around that having found you feels like finding a diamond! Thank you!
I cannot explain HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is SO incredibly helpful! I absolutely love your videos. I never would have known the depths of the negatives with HA. Saves money! 😆❤️
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I've literally been looking for a medical basis for something I heard a couple years ago from a sales person at a beauty store. He told me I shouldn't use HA products in CO because it will pull water from my skin instead of the environment because of the low humidity. I've avoided HA ever since but could not find any medical info to back this claim. I feel like I've finally scratched a mental itch that has been bothering me for so long!
This was extremely informative! If you think it’s long, it’s definitely worth every minute. Thank you Dr. Shereen!
Omg this is exactly what I’ve been wondering about HA! Thank you so much!
I am 71 and have been lazy about my skincare. I have just started Tretonoin. I have decided at this point that I am only rinsing my face in the am and applying a little moisturizer, a little Vaseline around the eyes and sun screen. PM wash my face with hydrating cleanser and applying Tretonoin then light moisturizer. I do plan to add Vitamin C to my AM routine. Love your down to earth advice.
Could you please do a video about effective hydrating ingredients? Night shifts in hospital are making me look like a mummy. This video was so informative! Thank you :)
Yup I'd love that too.
Dr. Shereene loves glycerin and Vit B5 (panthenol).
She has a highlight on her Instagram page dedicated to Glycerin if you want to check it out.
🙌❤️
Oh my god noooo Dr.Shereeen!!! Capricorns arent greedy, we are just ambitious 😂😂😂😘😘 love the video!
Thank you so much Dr Shereene for this wonderful video. I've been using all hyaluronic cosmetics here in Japan for decades and yet I don't see any good result better than my sister's complexion and she's only using the drug store very cheap cosmetics. I quitted right today for my next month order. You saved my money. Thanks a million. God bless you more wisdom in your career. Take care.
this is exactly my experience, I never felt good when I use HA moisturizers, at first it felt nice but then 30 min later my face felt weird, I have oily skin and it just became really oily. I believe every word you said dr. matched my experience
Am I the only one who stared at the amazing manucure the whole time and who needs to rewatch to focus on the content now??
That’s all I noticed too 😃
Yes! Need to know the shade name! 🥲
same!
I absolutely love your content! I just stumbled on your channel. Thank you so much for being honest about what good products are 💗
Just found you trying to research ways to improve my aging skin and happened upon this video! While it is from 3 years ago, I wanted to thank you because my skin is aging, very dry and having issues with redness and purchased hyaluronic acid products based on their claims of being moisturing and great for aging skin, but so far, it seems as though my skin is dryer and even more red, so disappointing. Going to try and watch some more of your videos to figure out how to truly take better care of my skin and help with dryness and redness.
I’ve been intrigued for years about H.A. So a couple of months ago decided to try it. I can’t see any difference whatsoever to my skin! I thought maybe it was the brand, this being Face Theory, so seeing as I have almost finished this I was going to try a different brand. So I was delighted to see you had done a video on this. After watching it, I wasn’t surprised really, because companies are greedy for money and will basically tell us anything! So I wanted to thank you for your extremely helpful video, and you have saved me some money! 😃Take care xx
I just a job at Sephora and I wanted to study skincare for clients and I’m still grateful for the videos to just know what’s really going on from a professional standpoint
Genuinely glad you made this because I had been using it and it literally made my skin so dry!! Didn’t know where I was going wrong! It really irritated my skin as well!
Knowledge is POWER, keep it coming Dr. Idriss, at 55 I try to keep skin care routine simple
You look great so it's working
Thank you for sharing this information and I needed this . Thank you again for educating me on HA
this makes so much sense to me. whenever I use HA containing products, my skin feels super dehydrated. never understood why. Thanks for explaining
Here’s why
It’s about your skin type, how to use HA, and the humidity level around you..,,

I break out when I use the serum :-(
Not all skin types are the same. My skin feels hydrated when i use it, especially in partnership with vitamin c
THANK YOU. Hyaluronic Acid has been horrific for my skin, drying it out and making it super sensitive.
You are so right!! I get breakouts! Bumps!! And here I thought I was peculiar! Thank you for this!
Thank you, Thank you Dr.
Your explanation with scientific evidence was absolutely helpful
and so clear, it was like a going to a class of skincare.
Congratulations and hundreds of blessings. I love your sense of humor and bit of sarcasm.😃💕🤗
OMG this explains so much! I was getting red and dry & could not understand why!!. Checked my products. It's in everything!! Thank you for this video!
Shereene you are a goddess!!! Thank you for opening our eyes, RIP to my expensive ass HA serum. I’d love to see more content on what ingredients we really should be looking for and ones that are marketed to be “good” but really aren’t that have been around forever like HA. Thank you!!
I feel so empowered by your teachings Miss Shereene. What an excellent education you're selflessly giving to your tribe. And with humor too. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. 😘❤👏🙌🥂🙏
Thank you for making these videos. You've taught me so much. ❤
You’re doing an amazing job! Great service to women🙏
