I sent u some a msg on instra. Please help me regarding tanning. I have insdian brown skin but due to sporting and sun exposure in childhood face color got darken permanently :(. Just want my orginal color back.
In order for any substance to penetrate the skin, it needs to have molucules smaller then 500 dalton. HA in the smallest most advanced form ”low molecule weight hyaluronic acid” still has over 50 000 dalton.
I’m an Esthetician here in Atlanta, and I looooove watching you explain the science behind skin/products. I’ve learned sooooo much from you and Dr Dray!!! you’re WONDERFUL Dr Lim!!!!!
This video was so helpful 😭😭😭 Whenever I'm looking for skincare products the employees only know so much and they just tell me the benefits but this video explains everything so clearly thank you so much!
Thank you Dr Lim for a fascinating video. As a recently retired nurse in the U.K. I now have to be frugal about my skincare purchases. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I got a bit fed up with some of the Beauty bloggers bringing out the next amazing product that will do wonders for your skin! I now watch you, Dr Dray , and Dr Sam Bunting. I’m 65 and just want my skin to look the best it can. It’s nice to see men taking more care of their skin than they did in the past. When I visited my son Kam in Singapore he said help yourself to any of the skincare in the bathroom cabinet Mum It was like an Aladdin’s cave!
I have raw hyaluronic powder with me I simply add distilled water into it and Put it in the fridge for few hours for making it as the serum consistency. Apply it twice a day on my freshly cleaned face. It works as an elixir.
This video is EXACTLY what I needed! I have been using The Ordinary Skin Care Line for the last 6 months (is amazing), and found that the moisturizer with HA was suddenly not working. It would literally made my face look like I was sweating profusely. It was a hot mess and I dont even use foundation. It's Summer time here in NYC and the worst day had a 97 degrees. I thought it was that the moisturizer was to heavy for Summer, but is the Hyaluronic Acid!!!! Without knowing that it was that ingredient alone, I would have likely purchased another moisturizer with HA. Understanding which ingredient doesn't wirk and why makes such a big difference. You solved my riddle Dr. Lim, Genius! I have learned so much from you I cant thank you enough. Also, I love the Ordinary Line so much I am scared I would be in trouble if they stop making it. I'm looking for other great, affordable products as back up. I also need to mention that I have oily skin. HA may act differently on dry skin in the Summer. Anyway, once again THANK YOU FROM NEW YORK CITY. :)
Thank you for making this one in particular. There's so much confusion surrounding HA. I use the Good Molecules HA which is around 8 bucks. I apply it to moistened skin (hand held fine face mister) and then mist lightly after applying. I then use my TGF, Vitamin C and an occlusive moisturiser to seal it all in. I use the Violetta sunscreen (Aussie brand. Goes on like a serum.
Thanks for your informed advice! I am currently a med student looking into dermatology as a specialty :) just wondering, what are your thoughts are on using hyaluronic acid in conjunction with derma-rolling and skin needling, and whether this is any more effective without having to use fillers. Thanks again!
Thank you for your expertise in Dermatology. It reinforces what I was taught years ago. With all the hype in the cosmetics industry it’s important, as a consumer, to have the truth regarding what ingredients actually penetrate the skin surface.
Wash face Apply HA serum. I use la Roche Posay vitamin B5 and the vitamin C serum Apply Retin. I use Adeplene. Apply moisturizer. I use Cerave from the tub. Apply eye cream. I use Cerave HA eye cream.
I love your videos and always found them informative. Although, this video I felt was a little bias towards a product you are trying to sell..."injections." There is scientific proof that using HA's after microneedling allows the HA's to penetrate in a fashion similar to that you described by your injections. Would you clarify for everyone?
Thank You Dr Lim for coming back to TH-cam, I was wondering if you had heard of the Australian brand of skincare ASAP and your opinion on this brand...Much Appreciated from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺 from near you...😊😊
-Nellie -m I’ve purchased few products of ASAP but haven’t tried them yet. I see quite a few ASAP products in his cabinet, maybe he’ll make a video about them. 🤞
Sleeping Labradors I’ve been using it now for a couple of months and quite like it, I was using Zo Health skincare which is Very Expensive, and I Think the ASAP is very similar to that brand, it even has the same texture and smell....the only thing is I wished their Vitamin C was a Serum Not a Cream, But I use them All...Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Daily Moisturiser with SPF, Eye cream, and I’ve just started their Vitamin A at night, But too soon to give an opinion on that one, it’s now sold at a Salon near me when a long time ago I had to purchase it only online which for me is a Bonus because I don’t like buying online products.... I also have the cream cleanser and daily exfoliating cream I use at night...❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
Hi, Dr. Lim. Thank you so much for great information. one question though! How HA can act as an agent to deliver other nutrients to deeper level when HA itself cannot penetrate into deeper level of skin? Thank you so much!! :)
I feel like HA is gonna pull moisture from deeper layers of the skin, pull it to the surface of the skin and make it easier for your moisture to evaporate into the environment.
Hey doc! 😊 What about collagen tablets? Do they really work for the skin, from inside? The recommended cure is up to 3 months of daily pill. Thanks in advance! You're great! 😊
@UC2m3yjfRKXxiK6jASmhxx_w thanks for answering :). We were talking about collagen pills, not HA. Might be the same thing, regarding the absorbition, tho...
M'Liss A - what is DMAE? Have you tried HADA LABO for a nice and inexpensive hyaluronic acid? They have nice sized bottles and formulas - can purchase on Amazon, or eBay - just use a trusted seller with a great rating.
Your face skin looks GREAT, Dr. Lim What is your AM/PM skin routine?. Question: Does applying HA after micro-needling of 0.25 or 0.5 mm help more penetration to the dermis or it still stay in the epidermis? For this, I have been using MULTI-MOLECULAR HYALURONIC COMPLEX (MMHC) from The Ordinary-NIOD. The Ordinary description on their HA says that the MMHC is a stronger combination of HA. What are your impressions on it? Also, The Ordinary has expanded a lot their line with their other name brands (NIOD, Hylamide) at a higher price.
replicxnt I do it all the time, I’m an aesthetician. We tell clients it adds moisture and protection to the skin, but I was wondering if it is then delivered deeper than just the epidermis, we may be able to inform them of the anti ageing benefits too.
Thank you dr. Lim , I really appreciate your kindness for sharing your knowledge and we learned so much about anything in this field we need more like you very helpful , very Knowledgeable, straight to the point easy to understand and with the Good heart 💜 I’m new in this field and I learned so much from you!!! Thank you 🙏 Godbless you more 😊🇨🇦
I read an article that said it’s best to put vitamin c first, wait to dry, then apply the hyaluronic acid. Think I’m going to try the other way around though to use it as a buffer as I’m new to vitamin c. Then I’ll follow with some vitamin e and lotion to further dilute lol
So, you are saying that if one is using active ingredients, like Tretinoin, or an AHA, they will work better if first using a topical HA product? I always feel as if I don’t apply my Retin A or AHA to dry, clean skin, I’m cheating myself of the full effect.
I am an Esthetician and very much appreciative the information you provide. So happy that you are putting out videos on TH-cam again. Thank you for your important (and clearly explained) informative videos!
Thank you Dr. Davin. I built my skincare regimen around the basic - Vitamin A, B, & C, because I have watched your previous videos. I also watched videos from other dermatologists & drew conclusions from there using critical thinking though my understanding can be very limited being a layman. Please continue making videos explaining benefits of skincare ingredients in a layman’s term. Learning from you is a great start in selecting products and ingredients for my skin without spending a lot of money.
How about the effectiveness of HA when coupled with 0.25-0.5 mm microneedling? Will it still be an effective moisturizer when used in dry climates? Thanks so much for your educational videos I love them!
Seeing this really made me not trust what’s on articles,blogs, claims about skin care.. if you really want to find the best skin care..look up studies/journal articles of the ingredient...we cant be wasting our money on different brands’ marketing ploy and hype to make us buy products when it would only be temporary or cant even penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to synthesize substances that would make our skin plump and young.. that’s why i just use a basic moisturizer and tazorac (or any vit a your skin can tolerate)
Thanks for your great info, doc 😘 My dry, sensitive skin loves HA, esp. in toner, essence & serum forms, and always on wet skin. So is it better to use multi molecular weight HAs or just basic HA? For example The Ordinary & their parent company Desiem have many different HA Serums. Is their cheapest HA Serum as good as their more expensive multi molecular weight/different forms of HA Serums?
@@miss_jess ,thank you, after I replied to your message I realized, all I had to do was pull the video back up and listen, I'm so busy I'm still trying to work in my senior years so it would have taken a little time to figure out which video it was but anyway I really and truly appreciate you replying and the manner that you did thank you for all that you do and did and God-bless and make it a great day...
At the end he mentioned HA can help bring Retinal's penetration... but I am not clear if he means to use HA first and then a Retinal product, OR visa versa.... would someone mind helping me with this question? I would love to know ❤
Sounded to me at about 14:00, where you mention, that the HA was first. I apply products like this - cleanse, cocktail of Nicinamide , and Matrxyl ( the Ordinary) then after a couple minutes I add HA (The Ordinary) . When dry, ( I go make coffee & make the bed) I add moisturizer and give it a little time before finally the Sunscreen. Makeup goes on flawlessly so long as I gave everything time to absorb. There is a video on You Tube that I couple with Dr Lim for skin care education called The Pampered Wolf. Those two are everything I ever needed. Stay well!
Great video thanks so much I love the ordinary products, how long do you actually need to use the ordinary before it starts to work have a great day sending love 💕 from the uk 🇬🇧
I’d forgotten how good you are at this. Thank you so much for the intelligent and direct style and for all the info we need to make good decisions. You’re the best!
As always such a great in depth video. Thank you! Question...in what order should we apply our skin care, so that the H Acid helps other actives to penetrate deeper. I use HAcid first thing in the morning...however in the evening fistly i use tretenoine 0.1% , then follow with H Acid and moisturizer lastly.
Guity Dormishian the molecules are to large, they won’t penetrate! And if has an other chemicals in it to allow it to pass the the stomach, it can chemically burn your skin, block pores, or cause pigmentation plus more!
Davin Your hair looks Great. I love it! My husband has the same salt n pepper hair. He was thinking about dying it and I quickly stopped him. It is very attractive.
As someone who has an allergic reaction to HA in skin care products, I can assure you it is incredibly frustrating to find skincare these days! It is in 90% of products currently. Very disingenuous to praise such an ingredient that has been clearly over hyped as "THE IT" ingredient by the beauty industry. The beauty industry makes a killing and the consumers have to deal with irritation of skin and wasted money!
Thank you for this tutorial on hyaluronic acid. I was looking into some serums and creams and thank you thank you so much love your videos just joined love from Austin Texas
How often should you apply Ha serum, and is there any peptides or acids etc that can have a tightening effects for your neck , also what other serums go well with ha thanks 😊 I use the ordinary ha
Yay! Finally a new video from you. I love all the little Instagram posts you do, and love it when you have a new video on TH-cam. The information you provide is so helpful.
they do not work! There is zero evidence they work! Studies have shown that the supplements are not even abosorbed that much and most of it gets pissed and shat out! Thats not how skin works! You cant just magically take a pill and have that ingredient go direct to hair or skin! Hair and skin vitamins do not work! All vitamins can do is support normal skin and hair growth perdiod! Nothing mroe nothing less!
Thank you for this video.. I won’t be spending my money on serums any more.. I’ll stick to CeraVe moisturizer.. again thank you for the great information 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A little off the subject but would you have a recommendation for a lipstick that does not make lips peal? There must be an ingredient that makes this happen but i don't know What it is. Love your channel. Phyllis in Nevada
Hyaluronadase does not affect that skin surface! Using it on the skin is not temporary! Long time use, keeps the skin hydrated and the skin barrier in optimal condition! There are plenty of studies showing hyaluronic acid on the skin surface!
I'm so happy you're back on Y. T. I was initially confused as in the UK this is pronounced hyaluronic with an R. Once I got to the molecular weight part I realised its the same thing. Thank for an excellent top vid Dr D. XOXO
I have constant Dehydrated skin, I've tried many hyaluronic acid product, however it just made my skin even tight and drier... Does anybody know why? =(
Hi Dr, if it's ok I have a few random questions for you if or whenever you have the time to answer: First, how often should someone wash/cleanse their face?--particularly, how much is too much? What's your best tip for repairing a damaged skin moisture barrier? And what is the ideal age to introduce retinoids into skincare? Thank you for your insights!
Twice a day. Depends on your skin sensitivity, as for repair, well atopic dermatitis has MAJOR barrier disruption. For those patients we use simple emollients. WSP. CETAHPIL, and many other simple formulations. Retinoids - late teens! DL
Thank you for taking the time to teach us about HA's! I especially liked that you explained the how HA's should be used with a moisturizer in an arid climate. I grew up in a humid place but moved inland recently and I never considered using a moisturizer before.
I liked the way you delivered the message. You are so knowledgeable and you base it from clinical trials or studies. And you are never been biased with some brands because of the videos I watched they were sponsored. Thumbs up to you Dr.Lim!
@80% suicides are men but no one cares he's talking about expensive ones since HA will degrade within a day or two so if you want to incorporate HA, it's better to go for cheaper topically and save up for injectibles if you really want to pursue long term benefits
RECIPES? ...What about powders? Amazon for instance sells a LOT of hydroponic powder as well as vit. C and other ingredients. Could you pls make a video about homemade creams or serums. Thanks VERY much if you do.
@@JeanieAngel7 here in my country Malaysia, it easily can be found and purchased at drugstore. If it doesn't available in your country, maybe you can purchase it online. Take a look at few online website such as Bloomingdale's or Rakuten Global. Rakutan Global offered more Asian skincare products and they shipped it worldwide. Hada Labo is quite cosmetically elegant but trust me, you pay their products based on the quality offered 🙏. There is few range of Hada Labo products and make sure you choose it wisely based on your skin type and what's you skin need
This doctor is so smart and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing the information with us and enlightening us on HA’s, I think I know more about it now and the best video on TH-cam explaining ha’s.
Short video on the importance of HYALURONIC ACID. Cheers, Davin Lim.
Thanks for in-depth vid on HA. To enhance the penetration of actives, in which order should HA be applied, before or after?
I sent u some a msg on instra. Please help me regarding tanning. I have insdian brown skin but due to sporting and sun exposure in childhood face color got darken permanently :(. Just want my orginal color back.
Hello there just had a question if I'm facial steaming will that help improve the results of my hyaluronic acid facial cream?

@@65NART why😱😱 btw I think her videos are too long and poorly edited
What would you say is the best treatment for skin with rosacea that is very dehydrated?
I'm confused because dermatologists on TH-cam seem to have opposite views on whether hyaluronic acid is good for skin or not
that's not what they are saying at all. My goodness some of you people have bad comprehension skills.
omg, really people? u see no difference between HA in skincare, naturally produced HA and HA injectables?

Good question
I love your channel, it is very instructive.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much Dr Lim, ever so helpful. When would you apply HA? AM/PM? Where does it fit between Retinol/Vit C/Lytera? Thank you! Anna
Wash face
Apply HA serum. I use la Roche Posay vitamin B5 and the vitamin C serum
Apply Retin. I use Adeplene.
Apply moisturizer. I use Cerave from the tub.
Apply eye cream. I use Cerave HA eye cream.
So use both HA and a retinol serum at the same time?
@@artiswilkins306 yes just wait 30 mins between each application
I apply my ha after toner and before other serums and moisturizer.
@@artiswilkins306 If you don't want to wait you can just apply HA in morning and retinol at night. 😊 Retinol is best at night anyway.
been using it for almost 2 months now but hear it can take 6 months to work? I hope it works a bit on my scars along with using tretinoin

Can hyaluronic acid be comedogenic?
I went to a dermatologist who suspended one of my spf and a lotion cause it cointains Hyaluronic acid.
Ah, recommending The Ordinary because it’s cheap, not because it works. Save the dosh for injections. Understood - will do. Thank you!!
So should the HA go on before or after your actives? Or does it even matter?
What about opening a Hyaluronic acid vitamin and mixing with coconut oil and putting it on the face after using a microneedle?

In the description box he recommends Ordinary, but that is the brand he already mentioned in the video. Where's the list?
Great video thanks so much I love the ordinary products, how long do you actually need to use the ordinary before it starts to work have a great day sending love 💕 from the uk 🇬🇧
I’d forgotten how good you are at this. Thank you so much for the intelligent and direct style and for all the info we need to make good decisions. You’re the best!
Can you make a video about AHA / BHA skin care please, i love your videos it reallt helps me understand about skincareeessss, loves from Philippines ❤
As always such a great in depth video. Thank you! Question...in what order should we apply our skin care, so that the H Acid helps other actives to penetrate deeper. I use HAcid first thing in the morning...however in the evening fistly i use tretenoine 0.1% , then follow with H Acid and moisturizer lastly.
Dr David I was wondering if I can use vitamin A capsule on my face
Thanks
Guity Dormishian the molecules are to large, they won’t penetrate! And if has an other chemicals in it to allow it to pass the the stomach, it can chemically burn your skin, block pores, or cause pigmentation plus more!
Davin Your hair looks Great. I love it! My husband has the same salt n pepper hair. He was thinking about dying it and I quickly stopped him. It is very attractive.
As someone who has an allergic reaction to HA in skin care products, I can assure you it is incredibly frustrating to find skincare these days! It is in 90% of products currently.
Very disingenuous to praise such an ingredient that has been clearly over hyped as "THE IT" ingredient by the beauty industry. The beauty industry makes a killing and the consumers have to deal with irritation of skin and wasted money!
With you on this one
Thank you for this tutorial on hyaluronic acid. I was looking into some serums and creams and thank you thank you so much love your videos just joined love from Austin Texas
Very instructive as usual 🖒
How often should you apply Ha serum, and is there any peptides or acids etc that can have a tightening effects for your neck , also what other serums go well with ha thanks 😊 I use the ordinary ha
Hey, could anyone tell me if hyaluronic acid supplements (pills or drinks) would be helpful? Thank you in advance!
The best explanation and advice by a true Dermatologist at last. Thank you so much.
Question Dr. D Lim Can I used Hyaluronic serum together with Vit C serum? Thank you.
Yay! Finally a new video from you. I love all the little Instagram posts you do, and love it when you have a new video on TH-cam. The information you provide is so helpful.
Thank you so much for your detailed information. I would like if you could please share your thoughts on collagen supplements
they do not work! There is zero evidence they work! Studies have shown that the supplements are not even abosorbed that much and most of it gets pissed and shat out! Thats not how skin works! You cant just magically take a pill and have that ingredient go direct to hair or skin! Hair and skin vitamins do not work! All vitamins can do is support normal skin and hair growth perdiod! Nothing mroe nothing less!
My new "skincare porn" channel! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video.. I won’t be spending my money on serums any more.. I’ll stick to CeraVe moisturizer.. again thank you for the great information 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cerave moisturizer isn’t very good . Use serums .they are very moisturizing
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Lim! Perfectly explained. Great to see you back on You Tube 🤩
Thanks Dr Lim. I love the way you explain things in a way non clinicians like me can understand. Kia ora from across the ditch xxx
Very helpful information Dr. Lim. I’m so glad you are making videos again!
Hi Dr can you please talk about keloid and ways to reduce its size? Thanks love your vid
A little off the subject but would you have a recommendation for a lipstick that does not make lips peal? There must be an ingredient that makes this happen but i don't know What it is.
Love your channel.
Phyllis in Nevada
I would suggest Lanolips, life saver!
You're a wonderful surgeon and educator Dr Lim !
Wish I could visit your clinic one day and see what you can do for my skin! But i live in china so it’s very far... 😔
me too but hey you can try seeing a dermatologist in china it's still safe.
you can buy skin care product online but be very careful because there are so many fake products which are sometimes cheap or expensive.
Can i use retinol serum and hyaluronic acid moisturiser together ?
Outstanding explanation on HAs. Thank you.
will using it when your young make your body not produce it as much?
This was fantastic! Thank you. Knowledge is power
Hyaluronadase does not affect that skin surface! Using it on the skin is not temporary! Long time use, keeps the skin hydrated and the skin barrier in optimal condition! There are plenty of studies showing hyaluronic acid on the skin surface!
I'm so happy you're back on Y. T. I was initially confused as in the UK this is pronounced hyaluronic with an R. Once I got to the molecular weight part I realised its the same thing. Thank for an excellent top vid Dr D. XOXO
I have constant Dehydrated skin, I've tried many hyaluronic acid product, however it just made my skin even tight and drier...
Does anybody know why? =(
@OnWingsOfHope apply on wet skin,pat it in and top with a good moisturiser
Hi Dr, if it's ok I have a few random questions for you if or whenever you have the time to answer: First, how often should someone wash/cleanse their face?--particularly, how much is too much? What's your best tip for repairing a damaged skin moisture barrier? And what is the ideal age to introduce retinoids into skincare? Thank you for your insights!
Twice a day. Depends on your skin sensitivity, as for repair, well atopic dermatitis has MAJOR barrier disruption. For those patients we use simple emollients. WSP. CETAHPIL, and many other simple formulations. Retinoids - late teens! DL
@@drdavinlim Thank you, much appreciated!
Always honest and informative. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to teach us about HA's! I especially liked that you explained the how HA's should be used with a moisturizer in an arid climate. I grew up in a humid place but moved inland recently and I never considered using a moisturizer before.
What about collagen? Can you do a similar video?
I liked the way you delivered the message. You are so knowledgeable and you base it from clinical trials or studies.
And you are never been biased with some brands because of the videos I watched they were sponsored.
Thumbs up to you Dr.Lim!
I wish you were in Arizona! Thank you for this video 😊
Cerave Cream with Hyaluronic Acid is good.
@Cool No. That is why he recommends creams, serums, masks with HA for hydration.
Cerave is gold ! Love it . HA with Cerave . Yaaas
What is cerave cream
@80% suicides are men but no one cares he's talking about expensive ones since HA will degrade within a day or two so if you want to incorporate HA, it's better to go for cheaper topically and save up for injectibles if you really want to pursue long term benefits
@@DrShawnaFreshwater Cerevae face creme with Hylauronic acid...does that plump up your skin ? Thanks Gina
RECIPES?
...What about powders? Amazon for instance sells a LOT of hydroponic powder as well as vit. C and other ingredients. Could you pls make a video about homemade creams or serums. Thanks VERY much if you do.
Thank you for some good knowledge!!! I definitely need to know about this! 💯 🔥
Your skin looks good!😍
My holt grail, Hada Labo Lotion!🙏.
Fariqh Raito where can we get it ?
@@JeanieAngel7 here in my country Malaysia, it easily can be found and purchased at drugstore. If it doesn't available in your country, maybe you can purchase it online. Take a look at few online website such as Bloomingdale's or Rakuten Global. Rakutan Global offered more Asian skincare products and they shipped it worldwide. Hada Labo is quite cosmetically elegant but trust me, you pay their products based on the quality offered 🙏. There is few range of Hada Labo products and make sure you choose it wisely based on your skin type and what's you skin need

This doctor is so smart and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing the information with us and enlightening us on HA’s, I think I know more about it now and the best video on TH-cam explaining ha’s.
