Would love to hear you and Dr Emma talk about The Ordinary products and how to effectively utilise them. I love that they are specific ingredients, a bit like a serum with a concentrated ingredient that focuses on doing something.
Thanks Dr Sam & Dr Emma, another great video. However, I think that nearly everone who has commented has asked for a little more detail re layering, which order. I think this would help us all enormously. Thanks ladies X
I think we need more info on layering...this video was vague and confusing...
Actually no, that was very generic info. I'd like to know things like "How long do you wait, after cleansing, to apply Retin-A? Do you wait to apply serums after Tretinoin? What sorts of things interfere with Trentinoin's effectiveness?
That is all very basic information, anyone that Rxd you tretinoin should have gone over all that with you! It also can be found on numerous YT videos!
Jen, I'm confused as to why you took the time and effort to offer such an unhelpful and somewhat obnoxious reply.
Just want to add, that it's really important to see dermatologist when there is a skin problem. Years ago I was struggling with a teenage acne and my lovely Dermatologist got rid of it within a few months. Couldn't be more happy and gained my confidence back. I recommend to anyone with skin problem to go and find a good Doctor instead of trying stuff on your own and making more damage than good. Fantastic job Dr Sam and Dr Emma.
I agree with others here - as 'not doctors' some of the theory went a little over my head - talking ingredients and stuff like that is great, but when I'm standing in my bathroom morning and night it can get confusing.....
The one thing that really sunk in, was the 'protect' in the morning, and 'repair' at night....
But with all the different ingredients our there, how do we tell the difference?? ( besides the obvious that is ;) )
I agree. I just made an appointment to a dermatologist to help me get on a program. Everything is so confusing!
You talked about the layering but not examples of the actual order : (
Enjoy watching your vids, especially when its a doubly whammy of two educated gorgeous and super smart women talking. Great, more of the two of you! Loved the dynamic!
Would of liked if you had actually given an example of layering orders but very informative video
Agree. Also I've read that applying essenses/toners before/after serums can either help or prevent serums or other actives from absorbing. I'm confused as to which is which.
Yes, one for AM and one for PM would have been helpful!
+BluesChanteuse well for me, the it depends on the density of the essences and serums. For example, I'd use a water based serum first before an oil based serum, if that helps? :) x
From what I've heard, generally one goes in order from lightest to heaviest; e.g., cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer/cream and then sunscreen.
Love your videos Dr Sam! Wish they were longer. I could listen to your great advice all day! Please keep them coming xxx
I was excited about the question! Would have like some specific clarification on when to apply acids for example...how long to leave it on...can it be used on same night as retinoid...what products counteracts each other... Just wish the questions was actually answered
Your both fantastic! Such informative videos please keep making more!
Thank you so much! More exciting content coming up soon! x
😘thanks!
would you still use exfoliating acids (glycolic, salicylic or lactic) if using a night time retinoid? if yes would it be just in the morning or to clear skin at night and help retinoid penetrate better?
I'm wondering the same!! I also use a glycolic and lactic acid at night and a retinoid....
No, you never mix glycolics and retinoids!
Ok, but why?
It doesn't irritate my skin, and honestly the results are amazing. But I don't use the retinol every night.
Using retinoids and an AHA (e.g. glycolic acid) or BHA (e.g. salicylic acid) actually diminishes the effectiveness of both ingredients. Retinols/Retin A should not be mixed with BHA or AHA because the BHA and AHA can inactivate the retinoid.
Always use retinoids at night because the sun can also make the retinoid/Retin A less effective.Christina Cassidy
Hi, Dr. Sam. Layering is an interesting topic. Could you, maybe, do a video with more details on this and also touch on a subject of the Korean skin regime which is famous for layering, as they are taking extra care in their skin care (allegedly as many as 7 steps/products at a time). Thanks in advance.
I think the statement "look at the first five ingredients" is a bit misleading, because, for example, when you're dealing with something as potent as retinoids (where the recommended amount is normally between 0.3 and 0.5%) they will very rarely appear so up in the ingredient list.
Other than that, it was, as usual, a very informative video :)
yes! good point!
Isn't 0.3 and 0.5 a concentration of the ingridient? It can be 0.1% concentrated and be in the first place of the ingridients because the product consists of 99% (just a number from my head) of that thing.
What are the top 5 ingredients to look for on the label, thanks
Could you list/ recommend products with vitamin c and/or vitamin B3 in please? Thank you.
very helpful...exactly how I apply my skincare. thanks for sharing
I understand the order of layering active ingredients, then moisturizer, then sunscreen but I would appreciate more precise details on ingredients that should be layered. Perhaps one of you can demo AM and the other PM. Also, do we need to allow time in between layers for absorption? TIA
Very helpful thank you.
Love this video! It gives lots of insight into which products should be used when, why, and how. I have a question: so if I have a vitamin C serum (L-ascorbic acid) and it also has peptides in it which to my knowledge is more of a nightly repair active, should I be applying this serum morning or night?
Great video! Can you explain what obagi blender is and how it helps rentin-a be more effective. Also, can retin-a be mixed with a retinoid cream to decrease peeling? Thank you!
And if I use aha, vit c serum, vit b3 serum and tretinoin, how do I layer them? and of course the sunscreen, little help please
SPF always should be last!!
She wouldn't be using SPF and tretinoin together, ever!!!
ive read retinoids are useless in morning/sun...
Morning: BHA (to minimize pores), Vitamin C (enhances sunscreen properties), Vitamin B 3, then moisturizer with sunscreen. Evening: AHA, Retin A (tretinoin) then moisturizer. Remember, Acids to penetrate, then serums or specialty products (Retin A) to absorb into the skin better, then finally, moisturizer to lock it all in.
+Grace M what aha are u using with retin a and why?
I really want to know the order! I should put moisturizer first or sunscreen? I can use a primer and later my foundation or is too much?
Thanks for this video
Excellent video as always.
Can u please make avideo on hair care esp psorasis and dandruff please ?
Judging by the comments, you seem to have caused more confusion than clarity.
+ella bee But God didnt have any common sense left after He gave it ALL to you!! so obvious! even a dumbell like me can see that. but again, thank you so much for sharing a tiny bit of it with us dimwits in such a warm and lovely way. you are a treasure and we are so lucky to have your thoughts
Would you be applying exfoliating acids like AHAs, say in toner format, under the antioxidants in the morning? Seeing as the penetration of vitamin C is optimal at a lower pH, and using it at night would probably be too irritating in combination with retinoids.
great theoretical pribciples...I agree some examples would have been helpful as well... where do you put in 2% bha liquid, acne spot treatment, "retinoid oil" (sunday riley luna), etc (on the nights I'm not using my retin a micro)?
+ella bee wow, thanks! i never wouls have thought of that, having not much sense. how nonsensical to hope a dermatologist would answer, but now seeing other comments with questions with no helpful replies (except yours of course), i see it was just dumb to ask. it is so kind and generous of you to share your wise words. what a ray of sunshine you are
Do you use moisturizer then sunscreen or can fit be the other way around ? My chemical sunscreen is in a serum form with some other vitamins and i would prefer to use before my moisturizer after my antioxidant serum in the am but have always heard it should be the last thing applied before makeup. Would love some insight on this ?
Can you use vit C and Niacinimide one after another or in separate applications? Is it OK to use Niacinimide in the morning? Thanks
If I am using a retinoid nightly, do I still need to get a glycolic peel every 6-8 weeks? Or is that overkill?
How and WHAT to layer on AFTER I've used my gel Retin A 0.02%...NOTHING will stay, EVERYTHING balls up..? What's up with that? Even after I 've waited hrs..I need some hydration!! Thank you!
Hi Sam and Emma!
Can you recommend a serum with Vitamins C and B3 that won't break the bank?
Thank you for the informative videos; much appreciated. xxx
Isn't vitamin A an antioxidant? Shouldn't that be used then in the morning...I use mine at night, but only because I hear it everywhere...but simply wondering...thank you!
very useful, thank you..can you talk about spf..is it worth going above spf 30?
I have a concern. Right now I find a lot of bb or cc creams that gives spf 50+. But I aplly a small cantity, not like I do with my sunscreen. I am protected? Thank you
only if your applying about 1/4 teaspoon worth.
Thanks for the info, loved the series! Please...please I have a huge interrogation, Vit C can be used with Niacinamide together?? Thank you so, so much!! :)
Should I apply my SPF first or last in the morning? After cleanse onto clean skin or just before my makeup?
apply sunscreen last in the a.m,just before makeup or primers
please can you talk about dermatillomania?
Ugh. Layering products is sooo dang confusing. It seems everyone has a different opinion...even amongst professionals/dermatoligists. 😩 Anyone have advice on my current routine? (I'm early 40s still battling moderate/severe acne, PIH, melasma, and fine lines on forehead and around eyes)
AM: Cleanse
Tone
BHA (watery consistency)
Antioxidant serum
Pure Hyaluronic Acid (serum consistency)
Pure Squalane (serum consistency)
Eye cream
Sunscreen
Primer and makeup (some days)
PM: Cleanse
Tone
Tretinoin cream (.025% every other night)
*30 minutes+ after applying tretinoin I then apply:
Eyecream
Moisturizer/night cream
(On the nights I don't use tretinoin I use 1% Clindamycin lotion)
I would like to know what king of toners mid range and higher range are great to use after washing your face with hard water to bring back the PH ?? :) let me know many thanks :)
Highly recommend Paula's Choice!! Options for all skin types & very reasonable prices.
So should I not use my glycolic and lactic acid exfoliator WITH my retinol in the evening together? my skin doesn't react but I don't want them to deactivate each other!
No, no, no!!
Your skin doesn't react because neither of them are doing anything worth the effort!

listen to Jen👆💚💚
I feel like you really didn't answer the question.....
Agree I love your videos but this wasn't specific.
This video is not at all helpful, u guyz r just talking to each other n not properly telling how to layer..
"Dr Emma works FOR ME at the clinic".....ouch!!!! the look on her face!!!! even if the clinic is in your name, and you are the one paying rent and dealing with admin stuff, she is a doctor, a colleague who works with you Dr Sam. anyway, back to the video now.
You clearly aren't paying attention - Dr Sam CLEARLY says that she works with Dr Emma, Not that Dr Emma works fir her in the practice. She is very deferential to Dr Emma at all times who is clearly very bright. As someone who sees Dr Emma at the practice its clear that Emma is treated there with the absolute respect due for her tremendous intellect. Indeed the negativity of this whole list of comments is staggering to me. Here are 2 busy doctors taking time out of their schedule to share some of their knowledge and receiving a hug amount of negativity and mean-spirited comments. Shame on you all.
