I’m going to stick with your old recommendations since they worked so brilliantly for me. Retrinal skin and eyes-almost completely got rid of the very dark circles under my eyes, and really evened out my skin tone. One of your Vitamin C with ferulic acid recommendations had visible improvement in my spots in 3 days, and really, really helped. Goes to show, everyone is different, and with a little trial and error, you can find something that works for you. Thank you, Doctor, for your videos and wonderful recommendations!
1000% stick with your routine. Don't change a thing. These are amazing results you are sharing and I'm SO happy for you! Thanks for sharing and watching :)
Me too... I'm a long time retinol user but after watching this channel, I added vitamin C to my morning routine along with a glycolic toner. I can't believe how good my skin looks so I'm sticking to it.
I will agree Vit C can be unstable, but we have to keep the advice in perspective: 'budget' - and reason for the serum (hyperpigmentation vs. lines/wrinkles). I'll stick with Vit C (am) Retinol (pm) and keep recommending to my clients. Thank you for the heads up!
I’m 46 and my skincare is very basic: wash my face with water only in the morning, apply Fitglow Beauty day essence, Pacifica vegan ceramide eye cream and sunscreen. Use a cleansing oil at night and use the vitamin C serum from Fitglow Beauty or the Herbivore prism exfoliating glow serum and that’s it! It seems to work well as I get a lot of compliments on how youthful my skin looks even though I have some fine lines
PLEASE can someone recommend or even know of a moisturizer that contains at least some of these together?- hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, & vitamin c I’m so tired of using 12 different products at once
Great video today and love the idea of Vit C in moisturizer! What are your thoughts about The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides and placement in skin care routine, if any?
I switched vitamin C for Q10 serum, I only use vitamin C every other day at night. I have dark skin and vitamin C was making my skin photosensitive and causing pigmentation, so I stopped applying during the day. Q10 is also a good antioxidant.
This is my favorite routine that I’ve found that works for my skin and it’s not so complicated. I think this is such a straight forward routine. I now use the Tula probiotics & superfoods serum and Tula eye and replenish, Avene protective cream to give my skin a break and several other products that works for my budget and skin. I love this routine!
People need to chill out. She is going through her OWN skincare routine which happens to have pricier products then she is offering cheaper options. If you can’t afford the products she’s using then don’t! Just look at the other products she links as alternatives. They’re $10-20! ✌️
I have sensitive skin and I've avoided buying a vitamin c serum for years and after seeing endless content everywhere about it, I finally gave in and just last night I bought my first one for $35. If only if I'd waited one more day to see this video I'd have a bottle of bakuchiol instead of vitamin c.
Skincare and anti aging regimen are a roadmap to killing your pockets and can also be disappointing. I am a firm believer, use what truly works for you. I do realize somewhere down the line , your face care, may have to swich up for better results during Summer and Winter and making sure you research as much as possible. I watch several dermatologist, and I truly love the education on this channel ❤ I actually use adaphalene with retinoid and love it. I had been using the Tru C and now have moved to the Cera V vitamin C which has been wonderful. Ty for putting these options out here.
For all the Canadians out there: Retinal products ARE available in Canada. The Avene A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream and Physiolift eyes both have 0.1% Retinal. They're available at shoppers and london drugs. 😊
I saw them at shoppers but bought Neostrata retinol serum instead. I can still return. Do you know it Avene a-oxitive is better than Neostrata retinol serum (0.3%)?
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks, will try that one although I feel that serums might be more effective than creams (Neostrata is a serum Vs Avene which is a cream) but maybe I am making that up in my mind.
@@BestWishesWarmestRegards it’s more about the ingredient than if it’s a cream or serum. Avene uses Retinaldehyde (Retinal) which is stronger than the Neostrada retinol. I’ve used both and it’s a big difference. Then I went from Avene to prescription Tretinoin.
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks. I got prescription Tretinoin of 0.025% off the shelf from another country. I was a bit hesitant to use it. I guess I can give it a try maybe starting once a week. And yes I will exchange Neostrata with Avene.
I love you! Your videos are always soooo informative. You give lots of choices and insights into the why's and why not so we ourselves can make better and informed decisions for ourselves!!!
Omg...I bought one of her recommended Vit C products, thinking it would be good for my skin...and now it's not even needed?...Why did I waste my money?....Why do Influencers keep changing their recommendations?...
She is a dermatologist it’s her job to keep trying and recommending different products all the time. Vitamin C is good in the morning for many people and has the most benefits. If it is working for you keep using it. If it is not or you see vitamin c is causing irritation this is a good alternative. Vitamin C has more studies behind it and is one of the most potent antioxidants though so it is preferred. Hope this helps.
It depends who they’re getting paid by. She’s to flaky for a doctor so I don’t trust her. 6 days ago posted another and says how she’s always going back to the severed vitamin c one. Also says how she’s always using lots of products calling them my to go to .. so how? She’s def lying. I found dr dray a more honest and reliable person who sticks to her recommendations.
I've just discovered this channel and the budget dermatologist and I've really been enjoying all the advice, really useful and informative. What I'm having a hard time with is that a lot of the recommended products are not budget drug store brands. Some are I agree, but a lot are not. $76 for a serum is not budget friendly, or $41 for a cleanser, again, I could never justify paying that.
She has tons of budget friendly options/ alternative products she's tested that she recommends when you don't want to spend more for costly products. Watch more videos and look at links. The bulk are budget friendly! And rem, anything too cheap that you shop for in-store or online, is going to be a cheap quality!
Fiona, where there's a will there's a way. Looks for the specific ingredients she mentions. None of this is written in stone. It's what's best for you AND your budget. I agree it's tough because these are products that you replace frequently but you can try cutting cost in some areas so you can splurge on others, streamline some products (combining them basically like she suggests) as well as looking for generic options of some of the super popular products. Good look dear. ♥
Hello! Delighted to say you're a new find on my feed, but I find your informative details about each step, the why, the different options (& which is best choice) are so helpful! As a professor known for being a fast talker, may I say you speak so clearly and enunciate beautifully, so easy to follow! Definitely going to check out Tula & bakuchiol (even if I still enjoy VitC serum in a.m.) ❤🌺🙏
People, these dermatlogists have to work with different brands at the same time to make money... It does not mean those who follows them need to buy every product they "suggest". If that was the case, I'd be broke so far..!😂 Just make notes and spend money on the prods you think will work on your skin.
I ditched Vitamin C some time ago, because despite storing in cool place I could never use it up before it went “bad”. As for new products you’ve suggested, they certainly can’t be labeled “budget”. That’s what I normally love your videos for - truly suggesting budget alternatives.
I kept my mine (recommended by my dermo) in dark bottle in frig,too. I’m almost 70 now, so I’m pretty sure benefits are minimal at my age. I never saw any effects anyway, despite using it for years. Thank you so much for your kind offer!
Try Korean skincare line now at Target! The vita c serum is the stable sort and the other serums and creams was well. Korean skincare can be pricey, but this one is amazingly affordable and so convenient being I'm a major Target hair and skin shopper
Thanks for the great video! For another great Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate product that I love is DRMTLGY's Vitamin C5 moisturizer. It has peptides, ceramides, vitamin E, and five different forms of Vitamin C, (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, & Ascorbyl Glucoside). Great lightweight moisturizer that doesn't pill under SPF. It may seem expensive, but it's a 1.75oz bottle for $62, which is actually quite reasonable when most vitamin c products come in a 1oz bottle.
I was excited to find these videos but now I'm just utterly CONFUSED after watching 4 or 5 of them. Even with trying to screenshot some specific segments 😢😢😢 my brain hurts now...darn. I'm going to keep trying!
I use Paula's Choice Retinol and Bakuchiol product at night. It has both actives in one product and I LOVE IT! My sensitive skin tolerates it well and I am just now starting to see really good results after about two months.
Don’t follow everything she says blindly. I love this channel because of the tons of info I get here. Try things and use what works for you at least we have the facts.
Wow thanks for sharing your discovery and new products that are getting hot in the research. All very good videos btw! I'm literally binge watching all your video this weeks, ahah!
I find no issue with Vitamin C serum & have always had extremely sensitive skin since birth. I could not use soap as a child with out huge rashes all over my body. Maybe it is how I apply it? I wash my face and occasionally add rosewater fist, then to a wet face, add hyaluronic acid to a wet face, neck and chest. Add vitamin C, then, retinol. After that either jojoba or, evening primrose, or Greek oil skin remedy. Then aloe vera, moisture boost, face cream depending on if it is day or night. After that, add Ponds Dry Skin Cream (I have used it since I was a child and never found it irritating). Ponds is 176 years old. This means that the ingredients are simple and not filled with chemicals. Petrolatum and mineral oil protect skin. Petrol is not a chemical either, It is formed from ancient plant and animal life. Fertilizer is made out of it ad carbon in botany journals is classified as a nutrient for plants. They renew oxygen by breathing in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Plants/Trees and humans are interdependent on each other. We need to remember that!
I get that there are options and not just one product per issue, however, it is crazy to me that there are people using 5-10 different products just for skin care. Are we losing our mind here just because we’re afraid of aging?
Before, my skin was not smooth and showed dark spots. However now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin feels much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, something I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, which is great for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and doesn't leave any residue.
I have been using this riceberry serum for a considerable period and its results are amazing. My face now appears clear and luminous. Additionally, it hydrates my skin and penetrates my skin rapidly into my skin, giving me a bright and shiny look. Loved it.
Thank you for this. I had bought the winky lux bakuchiol serum but didn't really have a place to use it until you mentioned the morning. I just assumed it was one to be used at night. I was ready to get rid of it!
Great video Dr. Locke! Thank you for letting us know about new brands that work for you that we may like even if they are more expensive. You always let us know if you think the benefit will outweigh the price.
I have been waiting for Part 2 of the collagen supplement video with bated breath. Can’t wait for your recommendations. Can we have the video soon please.🙂
I know this is an old video but I hope you see this. Paula’s Choice has a variety of “anti-aging” serums. PC also has regular sales, at least in the States, I would like to see someone review and compare all these serums and let us know which is best for different skin types. The PC website is confusing, this would be a big help for those of us who want a one and done morning serum.
Vitamin c serums always broke me out. I spoke to my technician who is amazing in skincare about finding the perfect vitamin c serum and she was the only one who told me,,,don't waste your money, vitamin c is not for everyone and it's not necessary, a lot is marketing. She told me that I have a mild case of rosacea and vitamin c would make it worse.
Interesting! Vitamin c is actually great for managing rosacea. Anti-inflammatory, strengthens the capillaries I wonder what new information I’m missing
I believe in vitamin C internally, not on my skin. It's honestly a fad. Having enough vitamine C intake will help the skin a lot because it helps to reduce inflammation. I recommend it!
@@emmaphilo4049 vitamin C is great for brightening and pigmentation. Definitely shows improvement on the clients I have worked with. Also taking supplements orally is also important for overall health. I don’t think it’s holy grail level but it definitely works.
There are at least published studies that demonstrate the efficacy of a vitamin C product, but this is lacking in terms of bakuchiol. Why make that switch?
Btw they are easy to preserve and keep fresh, as long as you know what you're doing. I only have to do this once so it's nothing: i wrap the bottle in aluminum foil to disrupt all UV. Then, i keep it in the fridge. It lasts forever, and kept in a great condition while i was gradually introducing it (so not using it every day). I totally understand if it wasn't pleasant to use though. I would - not- use it if it was unpleasant. Definitely not worth it! Instead of bakuchiol, however, i would use an ingredient that still has research to back it up in terms of antiageing, like glycolic acid.
Really surprised me too, coming from a dermatologist. And if she wanted to incorporate bakuchiol, why not use both? It’s a red flag that she calls it a ‘retinol alternative’. Makes me wonder if she knows what’s she’s doing…
I love how well you explain things. Figuring out a skincare routine can be very confusing. Been watching other videos, trying for a few years now, and feel like I haven't been able to get it right. After discovering your videos, I understand much better how to build my routine. So thank-you. I do have a question though. Is it true that moisturizing products should be applied to damp skin and actives to dry skin? If that is true, then how do you apply a product that has both. Like the Vit C moisturizer. Would that go on damp or dry skin?
Re the comments below. The doctor is showing you her routine. She's not telling you what to use. Sometimes, if a product becomes popular then, others will copy it, and then that will be less money. .
Yes! This is just a "behind the scenes" kind of video to show you what's up this summer in my routine and clear up some questions surrounding my vitamin C usage right now. This in NO way is supposed to be taken as "This is what you need to buy or do" advice. And like I always say: If you have products or a routine that you love and is working for you right now...DONT CHANGE A THING! It's so hard to get to a place where you have a really awesome routine that is getting you results. So be consistent and go with it. I say I need to take my own advice more lol but my research has led me down a rabbit hole on Bakuchiol, microbiome, and more so here I am shaking things up...and I'm not mad about it! so far so good :)
I'm new to skin care (6 months) and I only learned about bakuchiol recently. My reaction was exactly the same - why use vit C if bakuchiol gives me all the benefits without the downsides? The same goes for niacinamide and even retinol. It seems that one can ditch all three and just use bakuchiol instead. I'm definitely gonna try it.
Love Love Love that Vanicream cleanser. So gentle and elegent feeling. Such a minimal ingredient list which still removes my makeup The only reason I would even consider deviating from it would be if I wanted to add in active ingredients.
I recently learned about a stable form of vitamin C called THD… I’ve been trying it out for about a week now :-) I’m going to check outbucuchial serum, I have been on the fence about it but you reminded me about it since I quit using retinol. I love hearing this stuff from a down to earth dermatologist! :-)
I’ve watched many dermatologist videos, and yours seems to be the shadiest… It seems like you’re promoting that company more than what people really want. Just my opinion.
Why not just add bakuchiol after vitamin c serum? It seems counterintuitive to swich out a proven ingredient that also enhances sunscreen (!!!!) to an ingredient that is really not tested that much and it is minimally convincing so far.
Because this is a sponsored video. I thought she was the budget dermatologist but she’s showing stuff that cost $78 for a one ounce bottle of cream. How is that budget?I guess it’s considered budget skincare if you’re rich.
Bakuchiol is similar to every other product that encourages cell turnover. I've started using it after watching her Tula video, and it has proven itself to me. But my skin is so sensitive I could never use it the same time as something else that has a similar effect like vitamin c, AHA, etc.
I think your new routine is brilliant. I think of “budget” as the overall cost of a routine. Certainly, a simple routine with a couple of powerhouse items would be more budget friendly than a multitude of products and multiple steps. Look forward to trying out the new products, especially a swap for vitamin c.
Well I suppose if she wasn't always changing her mind about skincare routines then she'd have way less videos for us to click and way less products for her to plug.
Use Vit C vs Bakuchiol depending on your skin’s needs! If you need it to fix even pigmentation seemed primary. Both will deal with dark spots. But you MUST use sunscreen with Vit C (if you’re outside at all you SHOULD) but she didn’t seem concerned about using sunscreen w the Bakuchiol. Odd coming from a Derm!!
I once tried a vitamin C cleansing product and it irritated my skin. Hence I understand that it's not for everyone. I returned to my natural exfoliate once a month and everything is okay :) people are different. No one size fits all solutions..
Is she being paid royalties or something? The routine seems to be changing on the fly and the number of products she's supposedly using daily is impossible to call "budget".
All these videos are so frustrating. I watch several of them. They will advise certain products and then they change!! These people can afford to change but us regular people can not!
I agree I just watched one of her videos and bought all the stuff and now she’s coming out with this I just noticed and she’s changing everything very frustrating I’m probably not gonna follow her anymore and go to another dermatologist video
@@theravenmagick I just wrote down everything from the other video as well. Then I saw this video was 10 month as to that one 1 yr ago. Good thing I havent gone to store yet.
I’ve been using Beekman 1802 Vitamin C serum in the morning and their Bakuchiol serum at night. Not all of the time but I tried lots of products before finding your channel and they were my favorites.
I love my vit c and have seen results. It’s hard to find a good one with some many duds on the market. Also it is irritating for some but if you’re skin can take it’s worth it
I still use ascorbic acid on my skin. I mix up a tea spoon of cosmetic grade ascorbic acid in a two oz bottle, with a matchstick head sized amount of baking soda to raise the ph to tolerable levels. I store the bottle in the fridge keep the solution from oxidizing, and it always stays clear to the last drop. There are more complicated recipes for diy vitamin c serum on TH-cam. In the future I may add a few drops of licorice extract for additional protection form hyperpigmentation, provided the solution stays acidic. These ingredients can easily be found on Amazon, and they inexpensive. Just refrigerate the ingredients as well as the bottle to keep everything fresh, and they will last awhile. The amounts and ph can be tweaked to accommodate sensitive skin. I like my solution because it is easily affordable, and the supplies pay for themselves after several bottles.
@@StillBloom You can't go wrong with distilled water. I use tap water, although my water is relatively soft. You may want to invest in tiny measuring spoons, ph test strips, and a tiny funnel. I'm even going to get dessicant packs to my in my ascorbic acid powder, as keeping it cold and dry will make it last a long time. Generally speaking, the lower the ph, the better your skin will absorb it ascorbic acid. Try to keep it below 3.5 if your skin is OK with it. I originally had a longer and more detailed posting for you, but TH-cam kept deleting it.
This is interesting. I am currently pregnant and as soon as I found out, I stopped using tretinoin. I bought the bakuchiol serum from UK based brand GOW (love their products btw). Unfortunately, my skin reaction after first time using it was pretty terrifying. My whole face was swollen, it was badly irritated, red, just really bad I think it took me about 10days to calm it down so sadly it didn't work for me. I thought my skin is pretty resistant after using retinol or later on tretinoin for years but looks like it doesn't tolerate it... I would love to hear your update after 3 6 months of using it 😊
Wondering about your thoughts on using wipes for cleaning off makeup. I use the Equate brand makeup remover wipes and feel they do the job really well.
I have been using the Avene RetrinAL for my face and I also have the RetrinAL Eyes and I am really enjoying them. I agree they r more on the pricey side, but it works for me. I love how I don't have the irritation.
You didn’t mention using an exfoliant. I have been using the L’Oréal glycolic acid cleanser in the morning for about a month now and love it! Are you still using an exfoliant and, if so, what are you using and when (am or pm, every day, every other)? Also, how do you layer a bakuchiol product with an AHA?
1st time watching. Products look great, but for me a bit disappointing as your title says Budget Dermatologist but these products are far from budget friendly when I looked them up online. You did add a few items to try on a budget so maybe I'll try those.
Yes, agree, she should change the name of the channel, and most products area somewhat expensive and need to be ordered from a website from which she gets a cut
I agree. She usually does videos with budget friendly drugstore products and now she's changed her whole routine to products I sure can't afford on my budget.
Oh for goodness sake, she has a whole channel filled with videos featuring budget items. She doesn’t need to change the name of her channel because of one outlier. Grow the hell up. These are the products in HER current routine. She isn’t telling anyone they have to go out and buy these things. If you’re not interested in these, go watch literally any other video on her channel.
Doctor, I have been following your previous recommendations for AM and PM routines and my face hasn’t looked better ( smooth, even texture and my pores seem smaller) I don’t need hardly any foundation!. I do have rosacea and the vitamin C didn’t irritate. So thank you.
Well I didn't realize I was clicking on a sales pitch for tula. Apparently she's doing a paid sponsorship and btw tula is notorious for causing rashes and irritation.
Yep. She’s definitely not trustworthy. I just saw another vid where she recommends a 136 dollars moisturizer that’s is fulls of irritating ingredients like lavender and peppermint. That’s insane that a dermatologist would recommend that. I just came across her vid last night and after watching a few of her vids I would take her advice. I found dr Dray to be an honest trustworthy person to take advice from.
Anyone on TH-cam has to disclose paid partnership videos... I think it also needs to be disclosed in the description of the video too. This one specifically says not sponsored.
Retrinal eyes and physiolift eyes are the same product, I have compared their ingredients and I can assure you it's the same thing..The company has different line names for different countries..Here in Morocco it's the Physiolift that's available in the market. Btw I currently use the eye cream based on your recommendation. Thank you
I have rosacea and used vitamin C for a couple years UNTIL I developed seborrheic dermatitis (thank you compromised immune system and wearing masks so much). Now I can’t wear vitamin C anymore. 😢 I love hearing about the moisturizer having a stable formula. Unfortunately I think the Makeup Eraser also contributed to my SD development. It did not do well on removing all of my foundation and sunscreen. I only realized it months later when I bought DHC Cleansing oil and used it after the makeup eraser. I used the makeup eraser as normal then used a white washcloth to apply the cleanser and the washcloth came away with makeup/tinted sunscreen on it. I chucked my makeup erasers and advise friends to use other options to clean their face.
This is so helpful. I've been using the L'Oreal glycolic cleanser you recommended in the AM as a way of increasing effectiveness of vitamin. C and sunscreen. Just wondered if you could share why you switched from the glycolic cleanser, since cell turnover still seems like an important step in skincare. Did you find it too irritating to skin or is it not proving to be as effective a skincare step as formerly thought to be (I know that science continues to evolve so updates are understandable and expected). Thanks!...big fan of your videos and just want to make sure I'm following your latest advice correctly since you've made a huge difference for both my skin and my wallet! xoxoxo
I am highly allergic to the Aveńe bakuchiol serum! My eyes were nearly swollen shut the next morning and I had hives all over my face and chest. I love the other Aveńe products and was excited to try this but, unfortunately, I will not be able to use it in the future.
You mention the Vitamin C serum was irritating, but you experienced no side effects or breakouts. It "just wasn't nice to use". I'm a bit confused about how we normal people should determine if something is irritating or not. Could you please explain, I feel like most people don't understand irritation properly
Redness, a slight and brief fiery feeling, etc are some uncomfortable experiences I've had from certain products. Persisting to use them daily would usually lead to dry patches or breakouts. Hope that explanation helps!
@@toeareg100 I was sharing my experience of what it feels like to have skin irritation but not break out since Pamela hasn't had that experience before and was asking about it.
I had to return all the Tula products I purchased after this video. Not sure why but it irriated my skin. I bought the balm, wrinkle serum and the eye cream. I really wanted to try the retinol alternative since im pregnant 😭
I have sensitive combo skin and I have hard time with rich vit C serums, I break out especially chin area. I will definetly use this tip in the mornings and change my routine. I also break out badly on chin area when I use retinol around my lips and chin area. It is a bummer because I get the aging shows around chin area and my lip sides. (sagging process started very mildly and I can see it) and I need retinol around that area.
It s normal to purge during retinixation. Just incorporate Azelaic acid for AM (Finacea, Skinoren) and retinol or Differon for PM. Like this 6 months and u will overcome purging from vit A derivatives
This video is coming off the heels of my deep dive into microbiome skincare. So my current routine reflects that because I really try to use products for quite a bit of time before I can talk in depth about them. Tula products are formulated to balance the skin microbiome which I find fascinating and am trying to learn more about! Throughout this video, I do give budget alternatives to the Tula products and have some budget picks linked in the description below as well (a Bakuchiol option for as low as $10, among others!). I will always continue to try both high-end all the way to super affordable products/brands so I truly understand the full spectrum of what is out there and can therefore speak knowledgeably about "when to spend and when to save." After all, even if a product is at a super affordable price...if it doesn't work, then it's a waste of money (even if it's a waste of a small amount of money)!
Have you heard or tried the Purpose Gentle facial cleanser? I had tried it for six months and love it more than the vanicream cleanser (cause the vanicream is gentle but sometimes it over dries my skin). Also, I think that the Purpose Gentle facial cleanser is more budget friendly and have more fluid ounces compare to the Vanicream cleanser.
I have used bakuchiol from Inkeylist for months in the a.m. I have also used vitamin C serum from the ordinary (in hyaluronic acid) as well. My final step in the a.m. is sunscreen from Heliocare 360 (from Spain).

I’m going to stick with your old recommendations since they worked so brilliantly for me. Retrinal skin and eyes-almost completely got rid of the very dark circles under my eyes, and really evened out my skin tone. One of your Vitamin C with ferulic acid recommendations had visible improvement in my spots in 3 days, and really, really helped. Goes to show, everyone is different, and with a little trial and error, you can find something that works for you. Thank you, Doctor, for your videos and wonderful recommendations!
@Zizzie which eye cream do you use?
@@kaym.8965 I think the the Retrinal eye cream by avene! I also bought it after dr locke recommended it and I LOVE it!
1000% stick with your routine. Don't change a thing. These are amazing results you are sharing and I'm SO happy for you! Thanks for sharing and watching :)
@@kaym.8965 Avene Retrinal Eye Cream, I think the Dr. mentions it in the video.
Me too... I'm a long time retinol user but after watching this channel, I added vitamin C to my morning routine along with a glycolic toner. I can't believe how good my skin looks so I'm sticking to it.
I love how well this is organized, especially the part in the description. Thank you for laying it out for us so we can follow the routine easily.
💯
I will agree Vit C can be unstable, but we have to keep the advice in perspective: 'budget' - and reason for the serum (hyperpigmentation vs. lines/wrinkles). I'll stick with Vit C (am) Retinol (pm) and keep recommending to my clients. Thank you for the heads up!
15:45 She says she’s switching to a Vit C MOISTURIZER instead of a serum so she can add in bukuchiol
How is avene considered budget? 🙄
I’m 46 and my skincare is very basic: wash my face with water only in the morning, apply Fitglow Beauty day essence, Pacifica vegan ceramide eye cream and sunscreen. Use a cleansing oil at night and use the vitamin C serum from Fitglow Beauty or the Herbivore prism exfoliating glow serum and that’s it!
It seems to work well as I get a lot of compliments on how youthful my skin looks even though I have some fine lines
PLEASE can someone recommend or even know of a moisturizer that contains at least some of these together?- hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, & vitamin c
I’m so tired of using 12 different products at once
“I love this one”. Yeah now you do, but next week you probably won’t. 😂
Great video today and love the idea of Vit C in moisturizer! What are your thoughts about The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides and placement in skin care routine, if any?
I'm using Biossance copper peptide. So far I know is not to use with Vitamin C
I switched vitamin C for Q10 serum, I only use vitamin C every other day at night. I have dark skin and vitamin C was making my skin photosensitive and causing pigmentation, so I stopped applying during the day. Q10 is also a good antioxidant.
Did you get any fine lines or wrinkles when using vitamin C?
I opt for Vit C derivative instead, actual Ascorbic Acid is too unstable.
This is my favorite routine that I’ve found that works for my skin and it’s not so complicated. I think this is such a straight forward routine. I now use the Tula probiotics & superfoods serum and Tula eye and replenish, Avene protective cream to give my skin a break and several other products that works for my budget and skin. I love this routine!
People need to chill out. She is going through her OWN skincare routine which happens to have pricier products then she is offering cheaper options. If you can’t afford the products she’s using then don’t! Just look at the other products she links as alternatives. They’re $10-20! ✌️
If you’re cheap when it comes to the health of your skin you need to fix your priorities. The people bitching probably go to Starbucks everyday
@@kelly.nicole It’s not that deep lol. If someone needs or wants to spend less it’s okay
Please keep your hands still!
She didn't give an affordable option for step 2, AM! Listed only 2 products and they most certainly aren't affordable.
Actually she linked 3, 2 at around $75 and one at $27
I have sensitive skin and I've avoided buying a vitamin c serum for years and after seeing endless content everywhere about it, I finally gave in and just last night I bought my first one for $35. If only if I'd waited one more day to see this video I'd have a bottle of bakuchiol instead of vitamin c.
You should change your name from the budget dermatologist to the affiliated dermatologist.
Skincare and anti aging regimen are a roadmap to killing your pockets and can also be disappointing. I am a firm believer, use what truly works for you. I do realize somewhere down the line , your face care, may have to swich up for better results during Summer and Winter and making sure you research as much as possible. I watch several dermatologist, and I truly love the education on this channel ❤ I actually use adaphalene with retinoid and love it. I had been using the Tru C and now have moved to the Cera V vitamin C which has been wonderful. Ty for putting these options out here.
I like the Cerave Vitamin C serum so much better than any other I've used and it's gentle.
For all the Canadians out there: Retinal products ARE available in Canada. The Avene A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream and Physiolift eyes both have 0.1% Retinal. They're available at shoppers and london drugs. 😊
I saw them at shoppers but bought Neostrata retinol serum instead. I can still return. Do you know it Avene a-oxitive is better than Neostrata retinol serum (0.3%)?
@@BestWishesWarmestRegards I found the retinaldihyde (spelling?) that Avene uses is much more effective.
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks, will try that one although I feel that serums might be more effective than creams (Neostrata is a serum Vs Avene which is a cream) but maybe I am making that up in my mind.
@@BestWishesWarmestRegards it’s more about the ingredient than if it’s a cream or serum. Avene uses Retinaldehyde (Retinal) which is stronger than the Neostrada retinol. I’ve used both and it’s a big difference. Then I went from Avene to prescription Tretinoin.
@@susanmeredith4957 thanks. I got prescription Tretinoin of 0.025% off the shelf from another country. I was a bit hesitant to use it. I guess I can give it a try maybe starting once a week. And yes I will exchange Neostrata with Avene.
Lol a month ago you made a video about shopping for vitamin C serums 🙃
I love you! Your videos are always soooo informative. You give lots of choices and insights into the why's and why not so we ourselves can make better and informed decisions for ourselves!!!
So kind of you to say! Thank YOU for watching :)
Vanicream cleanser is wonderful. Short list of ingredients, gentle, takes off makeup and sunscreen, and feels very elegant. I love it.
Omg...I bought one of her recommended Vit C products, thinking it would be good for my skin...and now it's not even needed?...Why did I waste my money?....Why do Influencers keep changing their recommendations?...
She is a dermatologist it’s her job to keep trying and recommending different products all the time. Vitamin C is good in the morning for many people and has the most benefits. If it is working for you keep using it. If it is not or you see vitamin c is causing irritation this is a good alternative. Vitamin C has more studies behind it and is one of the most potent antioxidants though so it is preferred. Hope this helps.
It depends who they’re getting paid by. She’s to flaky for a doctor so I don’t trust her. 6 days ago posted another and says how she’s always going back to the severed vitamin c one. Also says how she’s always using lots of products calling them my to go to .. so how? She’s def lying. I found dr dray a more honest and reliable person who sticks to her recommendations.
I've just discovered this channel and the budget dermatologist and I've really been enjoying all the advice, really useful and informative. What I'm having a hard time with is that a lot of the recommended products are not budget drug store brands. Some are I agree, but a lot are not. $76 for a serum is not budget friendly, or $41 for a cleanser, again, I could never justify paying that.
She has tons of budget friendly options/ alternative products she's tested that she recommends when you don't want to spend more for costly products. Watch more videos and look at links. The bulk are budget friendly! And rem, anything too cheap that you shop for in-store or online, is going to be a cheap quality!
Fiona, where there's a will there's a way. Looks for the specific ingredients she mentions. None of this is written in stone. It's what's best for you AND your budget. I agree it's tough because these are products that you replace frequently but you can try cutting cost in some areas so you can splurge on others, streamline some products (combining them basically like she suggests) as well as looking for generic options of some of the super popular products. Good look dear. ♥
Hello! Delighted to say you're a new find on my feed, but I find your informative details about each step, the why, the different options (& which is best choice) are so helpful! As a professor known for being a fast talker, may I say you speak so clearly and enunciate beautifully, so easy to follow! Definitely going to check out Tula & bakuchiol (even if I still enjoy VitC serum in a.m.) ❤🌺🙏
Dr...please ignore all the negative comments...geeeeez....
I’m excited to receive the Avene bakuchiol serum from your prior video. I’ll try it out tomorrow one I finally get it in the mail. Can’t wait!!
feels so nice, def a change up from vitamin C!
People, these dermatlogists have to work with different brands at the same time to make money... It does not mean those who follows them need to buy every product they "suggest". If that was the case, I'd be broke so far..!😂 Just make notes and spend money on the prods you think will work on your skin.
DIFFERIN Scar Gel is my Bakuchiol of choice. Has centella, silicones, sea buckthorn oil, and some peptides as well all for $20ish
Amazing recommendation! thanks for sharing :)
The inkey list Bakuchoil is cheaper. 😉
I'm also ordering a Bakuchoil serum from SOMETHINC. only cost US$10
I love Cerave Vitamin C for my skin. It's very pleasant to use, but thanks Doc.
I ditched Vitamin C some time ago, because despite storing in cool place I could never use it up before it went “bad”. As for new products you’ve suggested, they certainly can’t be labeled “budget”. That’s what I normally love your videos for - truly suggesting budget alternatives.
I kept my mine (recommended by my dermo) in dark bottle in frig,too. I’m almost 70 now, so I’m pretty sure benefits are minimal at my age. I never saw any effects anyway, despite using it for years. Thank you so much for your kind offer!
Try Korean skincare line now at Target! The vita c serum is the stable sort and the other serums and creams was well. Korean skincare can be pricey, but this one is amazingly affordable and so convenient being I'm a major Target hair and skin shopper
Thanks for the great video! For another great Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate product that I love is DRMTLGY's Vitamin C5 moisturizer. It has peptides, ceramides, vitamin E, and five different forms of Vitamin C, (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, & Ascorbyl Glucoside). Great lightweight moisturizer that doesn't pill under SPF.
It may seem expensive, but it's a 1.75oz bottle for $62, which is actually quite reasonable when most vitamin c products come in a 1oz bottle.
I was excited to find these videos but now I'm just utterly CONFUSED after watching 4 or 5 of them. Even with trying to screenshot some specific segments 😢😢😢 my brain hurts now...darn. I'm going to keep trying!
I use Paula's Choice Retinol and Bakuchiol product at night. It has both actives in one product and I LOVE IT! My sensitive skin tolerates it well and I am just now starting to see really good results after about two months.
Don’t follow everything she says blindly. I love this channel because of the tons of info I get here. Try things and use what works for you at least we have the facts.
Wow thanks for sharing your discovery and new products that are getting hot in the research. All very good videos btw! I'm literally binge watching all your video this weeks, ahah!
this is what i need, less product, easy to follow,simple😊, Appreciate you❤
I find no issue with Vitamin C serum & have always had extremely sensitive skin since birth. I could not use soap as a child with out huge rashes all over my body. Maybe it is how I apply it? I wash my face and occasionally add rosewater fist, then to a wet face, add hyaluronic acid to a wet face, neck and chest. Add vitamin C, then, retinol. After that either jojoba or, evening primrose, or Greek oil skin remedy. Then aloe vera, moisture boost, face cream depending on if it is day or night. After that, add Ponds Dry Skin Cream (I have used it since I was a child and never found it irritating). Ponds is 176 years old. This means that the ingredients are simple and not filled with chemicals. Petrolatum and mineral oil protect skin. Petrol is not a chemical either, It is formed from ancient plant and animal life. Fertilizer is made out of it ad carbon in botany journals is classified as a nutrient for plants. They renew oxygen by breathing in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Plants/Trees and humans are interdependent on each other. We need to remember that!
Appreciate your updated routine details.
Some people don't update video content, and leave us hanging on 2+ yr old options. ☺️
I get that there are options and not just one product per issue, however, it is crazy to me that there are people using 5-10 different products just for skin care. Are we losing our mind here just because we’re afraid of aging?
Yes. 😀
Agreed. Especially considering the price of each one.
Me too! Vitamin C all seem to make my skin a bit red and irritated. It does go away but it’s not pleasant.
Before, my skin was not smooth and showed dark spots. However now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin feels much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, something I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, which is great for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and doesn't leave any residue.
I have been using this riceberry serum for a considerable period and its results are amazing. My face now appears clear and luminous. Additionally, it hydrates my skin and penetrates my skin rapidly into my skin, giving me a bright and shiny look. Loved it.
Thank you for this. I had bought the winky lux bakuchiol serum but didn't really have a place to use it until you mentioned the morning. I just assumed it was one to be used at night. I was ready to get rid of it!
Great video Dr. Locke! Thank you for letting us know about new brands that work for you that we may like even if they are more expensive. You always let us know if you think the benefit will outweigh the price.
Thanks for watching Cynthia!
I have been waiting for Part 2 of the collagen supplement video with bated breath. Can’t wait for your recommendations. Can we have the video soon please.🙂
I know this is an old video but I hope you see this. Paula’s Choice has a variety of “anti-aging” serums. PC also has regular sales, at least in the States, I would like to see someone review and compare all these serums and let us know which is best for different skin types. The PC website is confusing, this would be a big help for those of us who want a one and done morning serum.
Tula is out of my price range for sure..
Vitamin c serums always broke me out. I spoke to my technician who is amazing in skincare about finding the perfect vitamin c serum and she was the only one who told me,,,don't waste your money, vitamin c is not for everyone and it's not necessary, a lot is marketing. She told me that I have a mild case of rosacea and vitamin c would make it worse.
Interesting! Vitamin c is actually great for managing rosacea. Anti-inflammatory, strengthens the capillaries I wonder what new information I’m missing
I think it all depends on the ingredients
I believe in vitamin C internally, not on my skin. It's honestly a fad.
Having enough vitamine C intake will help the skin a lot because it helps to reduce inflammation. I recommend it!
@@emmaphilo4049 vitamin C is great for brightening and pigmentation. Definitely shows improvement on the clients I have worked with. Also taking supplements orally is also important for overall health. I don’t think it’s holy grail level but it definitely works.
I noticed the date on this particular video and have since watched more current where you are back on Vit C??
She`s like the wind🧚♀
HA! I just got the L'Oreal glycolic acid cleanser you recommended and cerave vitamin c serum. Love them both, btw.
Nice!! I still use those and love them. Holy grails...even though they are not in my personal routine at this moment.
There are at least published studies that demonstrate the efficacy of a vitamin C product, but this is lacking in terms of bakuchiol. Why make that switch?
Btw they are easy to preserve and keep fresh, as long as you know what you're doing. I only have to do this once so it's nothing: i wrap the bottle in aluminum foil to disrupt all UV. Then, i keep it in the fridge. It lasts forever, and kept in a great condition while i was gradually introducing it (so not using it every day).
I totally understand if it wasn't pleasant to use though. I would - not- use it if it was unpleasant. Definitely not worth it!
Instead of bakuchiol, however, i would use an ingredient that still has research to back it up in terms of antiageing, like glycolic acid.
Really surprised me too, coming from a dermatologist. And if she wanted to incorporate bakuchiol, why not use both? It’s a red flag that she calls it a ‘retinol alternative’. Makes me wonder if she knows what’s she’s doing…
I love how well you explain things. Figuring out a skincare routine can be very confusing. Been watching other videos, trying for a few years now, and feel like I haven't been able to get it right. After discovering your videos, I understand much better how to build my routine. So thank-you. I do have a question though. Is it true that moisturizing products should be applied to damp skin and actives to dry skin? If that is true, then how do you apply a product that has both. Like the Vit C moisturizer. Would that go on damp or dry skin?
Thank you for all your valuable videos, great information and for always giving us budget friendly alternatives to products.
Re the comments below. The doctor is showing you her routine. She's not telling you what to use. Sometimes, if a product becomes popular then, others will copy it, and then that will be less money. .
Yes! This is just a "behind the scenes" kind of video to show you what's up this summer in my routine and clear up some questions surrounding my vitamin C usage right now. This in NO way is supposed to be taken as "This is what you need to buy or do" advice. And like I always say: If you have products or a routine that you love and is working for you right now...DONT CHANGE A THING! It's so hard to get to a place where you have a really awesome routine that is getting you results. So be consistent and go with it. I say I need to take my own advice more lol but my research has led me down a rabbit hole on Bakuchiol, microbiome, and more so here I am shaking things up...and I'm not mad about it! so far so good :)
I'm new to skin care (6 months) and I only learned about bakuchiol recently. My reaction was exactly the same - why use vit C if bakuchiol gives me all the benefits without the downsides? The same goes for niacinamide and even retinol. It seems that one can ditch all three and just use bakuchiol instead. I'm definitely gonna try it.
Love Love Love that Vanicream cleanser. So gentle and elegent feeling. Such a minimal ingredient list which still removes my makeup The only reason I would even consider deviating from it would be if I wanted to add in active ingredients.
I recently learned about a stable form of vitamin C called THD… I’ve been trying it out for about a week now :-) I’m going to check outbucuchial serum, I have been on the fence about it but you reminded me about it since I quit using retinol. I love hearing this stuff from a down to earth dermatologist! :-)
I’ve watched many dermatologist videos, and yours seems to be the shadiest… It seems like you’re promoting that company more than what people really want. Just my opinion.
Why not just add bakuchiol after vitamin c serum? It seems counterintuitive to swich out a proven ingredient that also enhances sunscreen (!!!!) to an ingredient that is really not tested that much and it is minimally convincing so far.
Because this is a sponsored video. I thought she was the budget dermatologist but she’s showing stuff that cost $78 for a one ounce bottle of cream. How is that budget?I guess it’s considered budget skincare if you’re rich.
@@laikanbarth none of her videos are sponsored. She will say if something was sent to her; otherwise she purchases everything.
Bakuchiol is similar to every other product that encourages cell turnover. I've started using it after watching her Tula video, and it has proven itself to me. But my skin is so sensitive I could never use it the same time as something else that has a similar effect like vitamin c, AHA, etc.
Agree. Especially for people who don’t have a skin issue with vit c. She’s technically still using vit c but it’s just in her moisturizers now.
She talked about that in the video
Your videos are very informative and interesting! What is your opinion of 0.1% Differin as a retinoid for anti-aging?
Hey Dr! Could you make a video on how to treat burn scars? Love your vids!
Vit c irritates my skin, for the antioxidant protection I use inkey list Q10
Can we use vitamin C and bakuchiol at the same time?
I think your new routine is brilliant. I think of “budget” as the overall cost of a routine. Certainly, a simple routine with a couple of powerhouse items would be more budget friendly than a multitude of products and multiple steps. Look forward to trying out the new products, especially a swap for vitamin c.
Dollar Tree has the makeup remove cloths and I like them just as much as my more expensive ones.
Well I suppose if she wasn't always changing her mind about skincare routines then she'd have way less videos for us to click and way less products for her to plug.
I am new to watching your videos and I feel very frustrated because you go back and forth on products and your advice on what to use on your skin.
in your other video you said use vit c . So what is it use or dont?
She says she’s switching to a Vit C MOISTURIZER instead of a serum so she can add in bukuchiol as a serum
Use Vit C vs Bakuchiol depending on your skin’s needs! If you need it to fix even pigmentation seemed primary. Both will deal with dark spots. But you MUST use sunscreen with Vit C (if you’re outside at all you SHOULD) but she didn’t seem concerned about using sunscreen w the Bakuchiol. Odd coming from a Derm!!
@@wplants9793but bakuchiol I thought it was for night . Why switching she can u se backuchiol w vit c . Also why is she using retinal in the morning?
I once tried a vitamin C cleansing product and it irritated my skin. Hence I understand that it's not for everyone. I returned to my natural exfoliate once a month and everything is okay :) people are different. No one size fits all solutions..
I tried the Tula vitamin c moisturizer and it gave me a really red rash. Not for sensitive skin or rosacea
I do have A very inexpensive Bakuchiol from Target. I’m going to alternate in the am with vitamin c. I don’t have issues with the vitamin c
could you please share the name of the Bakuchiol product you are using from Target? thank you.
Is she being paid royalties or something? The routine seems to be changing on the fly and the number of products she's supposedly using daily is impossible to call "budget".
All these videos are so frustrating. I watch several of them. They will advise certain products and then they change!! These people can afford to change but us regular people can not!
I agree I just watched one of her videos and bought all the stuff and now she’s coming out with this I just noticed and she’s changing everything very frustrating I’m probably not gonna follow her anymore and go to another dermatologist video
I LEGIT JUST BOUGHT A VITAMIN C SERUM BECAUSE OF YOUR OTHER VIDEO
@@theravenmagicksame
🤦🏻♀️
@@theravenmagick I just wrote down everything from the other video as well. Then I saw this video was 10 month as to that one 1 yr ago. Good thing I havent gone to store yet.
I’ve been using Beekman 1802 Vitamin C serum in the morning and their Bakuchiol serum at night. Not all of the time but I tried lots of products before finding your channel and they were my favorites.
I love my vit c and have seen results. It’s hard to find a good one with some many duds on the market. Also it is irritating for some but if you’re skin can take it’s worth it
I still use ascorbic acid on my skin. I mix up a tea spoon of cosmetic grade ascorbic acid in a two oz bottle, with a matchstick head sized amount of baking soda to raise the ph to tolerable levels. I store the bottle in the fridge keep the solution from oxidizing, and it always stays clear to the last drop.
There are more complicated recipes for diy vitamin c serum on TH-cam.
In the future I may add a few drops of licorice extract for additional protection form hyperpigmentation, provided the solution stays acidic.
These ingredients can easily be found on Amazon, and they inexpensive. Just refrigerate the ingredients as well as the bottle to keep everything fresh, and they will last awhile. The amounts and ph can be tweaked to accommodate sensitive skin. I like my solution because it is easily affordable, and the supplies pay for themselves after several bottles.
I would love to try this. What do you mix the ascorbic acid/baking soda with - distilled water?
@@StillBloom You can't go wrong with distilled water. I use tap water, although my water is relatively soft. You may want to invest in tiny measuring spoons, ph test strips, and a tiny funnel. I'm even going to get dessicant packs to my in my ascorbic acid powder, as keeping it cold and dry will make it last a long time.
Generally speaking, the lower the ph, the better your skin will absorb it ascorbic acid. Try to keep it below 3.5 if your skin is OK with it.
I originally had a longer and more detailed posting for you, but TH-cam kept deleting it.
@@megaliberty No worries - this is a great explanation and I'm definitely going to look into it! Thank you for sharing! :)
@@bathemeinchampagne Thank you for your tip as well - will keep the green tea in mind!
This is interesting. I am currently pregnant and as soon as I found out, I stopped using tretinoin. I bought the bakuchiol serum from UK based brand GOW (love their products btw). Unfortunately, my skin reaction after first time using it was pretty terrifying. My whole face was swollen, it was badly irritated, red, just really bad I think it took me about 10days to calm it down so sadly it didn't work for me. I thought my skin is pretty resistant after using retinol or later on tretinoin for years but looks like it doesn't tolerate it... I would love to hear your update after 3 6 months of using it 😊
Great Video! Can you use both bakuchiol along with vitamin C if you skin can tolerate it?
Wondering about your thoughts on using wipes for cleaning off makeup. I use the Equate brand makeup remover wipes and feel they do the job really well.
Is it ok if you tell us your age please? I would just like to gauge how effective a consistent antiaging skincare routine is. Thank you!!
Bakcuchiol versus vitamin C? Isn’t it versus retinol? I wouldn’t wear bakcuchiol or retinol during the day. At night yes
I have been using the Avene RetrinAL for my face and I also have the RetrinAL Eyes and I am really enjoying them. I agree they r more on the pricey side, but it works for me. I love how I don't have the irritation.
The Retrinal eyes got rid of my dark circles. It took a whole bottle, but the results are incredibly satisfying
@@zizzie4081 That's awesome!
Where would an acne treatment gel ( adapolene) fit into this routine?
You didn’t mention using an exfoliant. I have been using the L’Oréal glycolic acid cleanser in the morning for about a month now and love it! Are you still using an exfoliant and, if so, what are you using and when (am or pm, every day, every other)? Also, how do you layer a bakuchiol product with an AHA?
1st time watching. Products look great, but for me a bit disappointing as your title says Budget Dermatologist but these products are far from budget friendly when I looked them up online. You did add a few items to try on a budget so maybe I'll try those.
Yes, agree, she should change the name of the channel, and most products area somewhat expensive and need to be ordered from a website from which she gets a cut
I agree. She usually does videos with budget friendly drugstore products and now she's changed her whole routine to products I sure can't afford on my budget.
Oh for goodness sake, she has a whole channel filled with videos featuring budget items. She doesn’t need to change the name of her channel because of one outlier. Grow the hell up. These are the products in HER current routine. She isn’t telling anyone they have to go out and buy these things. If you’re not interested in these, go watch literally any other video on her channel.
Doctor, I have been following your previous recommendations for AM and PM routines and my face hasn’t looked better ( smooth, even texture and my pores seem smaller) I don’t need hardly any foundation!. I do have rosacea and the vitamin C didn’t irritate. So thank you.
Well I didn't realize I was clicking on a sales pitch for tula. Apparently she's doing a paid sponsorship and btw tula is notorious for causing rashes and irritation.
Yep. She’s definitely not trustworthy. I just saw another vid where she recommends a 136 dollars moisturizer that’s is fulls of irritating ingredients like lavender and peppermint. That’s insane that a dermatologist would recommend that. I just came across her vid last night and after watching a few of her vids I would take her advice. I found dr Dray to be an honest trustworthy person to take advice from.
@ThePrincessfunk I agree. I love dr. Dray.
Anyone on TH-cam has to disclose paid partnership videos... I think it also needs to be disclosed in the description of the video too. This one specifically says not sponsored.
Retrinal eyes and physiolift eyes are the same product, I have compared their ingredients and I can assure you it's the same thing..The company has different line names for different countries..Here in Morocco it's the Physiolift that's available in the market. Btw I currently use the eye cream based on your recommendation. Thank you
Hi, I am SO waiting for your collagen supplement recommendations, I hope some of them will be shipping to Italy. I will buy it asap. 👋
I have rosacea and used vitamin C for a couple years UNTIL I developed seborrheic dermatitis (thank you compromised immune system and wearing masks so much). Now I can’t wear vitamin C anymore. 😢 I love hearing about the moisturizer having a stable formula.
Unfortunately I think the Makeup Eraser also contributed to my SD development. It did not do well on removing all of my foundation and sunscreen. I only realized it months later when I bought DHC Cleansing oil and used it after the makeup eraser. I used the makeup eraser as normal then used a white washcloth to apply the cleanser and the washcloth came away with makeup/tinted sunscreen on it. I chucked my makeup erasers and advise friends to use other options to clean their face.
This is so helpful. I've been using the L'Oreal glycolic cleanser you recommended in the AM as a way of increasing effectiveness of vitamin. C and sunscreen. Just wondered if you could share why you switched from the glycolic cleanser, since cell turnover still seems like an important step in skincare. Did you find it too irritating to skin or is it not proving to be as effective a skincare step as formerly thought to be (I know that science continues to evolve so updates are understandable and expected). Thanks!...big fan of your videos and just want to make sure I'm following your latest advice correctly since you've made a huge difference for both my skin and my wallet! xoxoxo
All I use is ponds cold cream and ponds dry skin cream and that’s all you need. People never believe I’m my age when I tell them….
This is all my mother in law used and her skin was so soft and glowy even in her late 60’s
I am highly allergic to the Aveńe bakuchiol serum! My eyes were nearly swollen shut the next morning and I had hives all over my face and chest. I love the other Aveńe products and was excited to try this but, unfortunately, I will not be able to use it in the future.
You mention the Vitamin C serum was irritating, but you experienced no side effects or breakouts. It "just wasn't nice to use". I'm a bit confused about how we normal people should determine if something is irritating or not. Could you please explain, I feel like most people don't understand irritation properly
If you use a product or certain ingredient and it causes you some kind of irritation and makes you break out, then its not for you.
Redness, a slight and brief fiery feeling, etc are some uncomfortable experiences I've had from certain products. Persisting to use them daily would usually lead to dry patches or breakouts. Hope that explanation helps!
But she doesn’t say that.
But she doesn’t say that.
@@toeareg100 I was sharing my experience of what it feels like to have skin irritation but not break out since Pamela hasn't had that experience before and was asking about it.
I had to return all the Tula products I purchased after this video. Not sure why but it irriated my skin. I bought the balm, wrinkle serum and the eye cream. I really wanted to try the retinol alternative since im pregnant 😭
I have sensitive combo skin and I have hard time with rich vit C serums, I break out especially chin area. I will definetly use this tip in the mornings and change my routine. I also break out badly on chin area when I use retinol around my lips and chin area. It is a bummer because I get the aging shows around chin area and my lip sides. (sagging process started very mildly and I can see it) and I need retinol around that area.
It s normal to purge during retinixation. Just incorporate Azelaic acid for AM (Finacea, Skinoren) and retinol or Differon for PM.
Like this 6 months and u will overcome purging from vit A derivatives
For the morning routine, do we put our makeup on over all the products you suggested?
Hated the Tula eye cream. Not a nice consistency and not moisturizing for me. Exchanged it at Sephora for Biossance Squalane + marine algae.
I love your videos but now it seems to be getting off “budget” and on to Tula products 🥺 still going to watch hopefully you’ll get back on track
This video is coming off the heels of my deep dive into microbiome skincare. So my current routine reflects that because I really try to use products for quite a bit of time before I can talk in depth about them. Tula products are formulated to balance the skin microbiome which I find fascinating and am trying to learn more about! Throughout this video, I do give budget alternatives to the Tula products and have some budget picks linked in the description below as well (a Bakuchiol option for as low as $10, among others!). I will always continue to try both high-end all the way to super affordable products/brands so I truly understand the full spectrum of what is out there and can therefore speak knowledgeably about "when to spend and when to save." After all, even if a product is at a super affordable price...if it doesn't work, then it's a waste of money (even if it's a waste of a small amount of money)!
Can you recommend an eyebrow serum that might stimulate brow growth?
I've heard Castor oil is great.
Have you heard or tried the Purpose Gentle facial cleanser? I had tried it for six months and love it more than the vanicream cleanser (cause the vanicream is gentle but sometimes it over dries my skin). Also, I think that the Purpose Gentle facial cleanser is more budget friendly and have more fluid ounces compare to the Vanicream cleanser.
Yes, i think beautypedia likes it
I have used bakuchiol from Inkeylist for months in the a.m. I have also used vitamin C serum from the ordinary (in hyaluronic acid) as well. My final step in the a.m. is sunscreen from Heliocare 360 (from Spain).
Good routine! I am using the inkey just for two weeks. I love it. And I found a way to apply over eye area without irritating.
