Thanks Dr Stephens, in France is almost impossible to found a qualified MD for black skin, so I follow all your recommendations !!! You saved my skin !
Thank You so much for taking the time to bless us with your knowledge on all things skincare. Your product recommendations have been so beneficial in my skin care routine, All information given is truly appreciated!!!
I so much enjoy all of the information and the detail and breakdown of products. I am African American and just started using sunscreen in my 60s but still there is a difference in my skin from watching all of your videos. I live in Chicago and just started going to a Dermatologist. I wish I had started a good skin care regime in my 20s . I think all that we had was products like Brand names but never addressed Skin like mine. The big wake ⏰️ up was sunscreen and that we need to use it everyday. This journey has given me so much confidence.I am so proud you went in this field. God Bless
I just purchased the Skin Better Science Even Tone and Correcting Serum after receiving some samples from the cosmetologist at my dermatologist beauty center. It is pricey but so well worth it! My dermatologist is a white woman so I always come here to see if what she is prescribing me good for black skin. Thank you Dr. Alexis for always being a top quality professional!!!
OMG. Your office is literally 13 min away from me. I just requested to have an appointment with you. I absolutely feel you can Assist me with my newly Aquired Hormal Acne lol. Im super excited to know if the date I requested will actually be able to be approved 🙂
You are incredible ♥️♥️♥️ would you be able to do a video on how to incorporate copper peptides in our routines? It seems as though it doesn’t work well with many other actives- like Vitamin A or Vitamin C or exfoliating acids… so I’m struggling to find when to use it! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Dr. Alexis. Would you please advise on skincare routine for someone in their 50s, struggling with acne, as well as as, acne marks and scars. Dealing with acne plus anti aging. Thank your.
Well daaaaang... was that introduction a mouthful or whaaaat lol😆. Had me ready to learn something today. thanks for all ur amazing videos. I was excited to find u a about a year ago. u give great advice. I have a lot of products and didn't really know how to use them. my products rang from estee lauder to cerave. Thanks to you u have changed my skin for the better and my blemishes and lil bit of melasma around my eyes 👀 (which I thought was dark circles) is starting to look better. thanks 😊 #blackgirlmagic
What a fantastic educational video! Will take me some time to absorb it all regarding peptides but I will def be coming back to this time and time again.
Love the depth you go into and the way you explain peptides! For example: what would PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-1 do specifically in a lip plumping product please?
dr alexis just as smart as she is pretty! gee whiz. thank you for being so didactic w/it. your baby's use alphabets was prob my fave part after the sheer amount of knowledge you imparted!
Hey Doc! I love your channel and I’m a new subscriber. It’s clear that we loose a ton of collagen in our skin with aging but I’m not sure how this starts. Is it the age-related inflammation (inflammaging) causing collagen loss or the collagen loss driving inflammaging? Thank you!
Great information! Thank you for breaking this down for the different types of peptides. I haven't seen a lot of information out there about what each type can do! Brilliant! ♥️🙏
Oh ‘em gee!!! This video is so good! I love the graphics, as well as the info. And I use that same example for proteins to my bio students! I need to call your office for a consult!🥰😎
Hi Dr Alexis !! I have been using SkinCeuticals products : I am 58 years old African American women with oily skin and large pores no acne . I have used SkinCeutical products more than 10 years . The products I have used all those years are SkinCeuticals LHA ( with salicylic acid)cleanser 2 times a day . The conditioning toner, clay mask weekly and the daily moisture moisturizer . I just recently added The phloretin vitamin c with ferulic . And retinol 0.3 .I also started using Natrium niacinamide but I don’t like it it seems heavy , greasy and sinks into my pores . I also started using Black girl hydrid sunscreen which seems ok . I just started using it a day ago . Before that I was using the Black girl Matte formula but it sink into to my large pores and made them more visible. I am confused I also follow Dr Stevens so I now use Cerva foaming cleanser in my Pm routine with my retinol and My Lha ( with salicylic acid) in my AM routine with my vitamin c is this correct. What do I need to do for weekly exfoliation? I Can you recommend another niacinamide that is less heavy like a serum ?
Thank you! My Paul’s Choice retinol and bakuchiol has peptides in it! I will continue with that product! Thank you that was super helpful I feel better knowing I don’t need to run out and buy another product ❤️
Thank you so much Dr. Alexis! You are such a God-Send! Your videos have helped me so much … Thank you for sharing your vast Knowledge and expertise! Continued Blessings! I tell all my family and friends about your videos!!Better than any dermatologist I have ever had!!!
Thank you dr. Stephen's. I would like to ask you if I could use retinol with multi peptides in the same routine at night. If yes, which I use first and whice I use second. From Greece with love❤
I don't want anything greasy looking. Great video. they all didn't look greasy. But which is better? dull skin, dark spots. small open pores. fine line dryness. my forehead and nose are shiny. my cheeks stay dry. non greasy. i have pores bc of my hairy cheeks. some people say laser treatments arent for bw?? 🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀
Thank you Dr Alexis. So, what's the difference in the functions of peptides and retinol on the skin and which is the best to have in anti aging routine
Can you do a video on razor bumps and initiation after shaving armpits and how to prevent them. Also how to treat dark underarm and how to lighten them.
Your videos are soon easy easy understand and helpful thanks so much! I have a problem with the skin at the side of my mouth, every time I would eat orange it would make that area darker, also whenever using some products with vitamin c it gets very bad hyperpigmentation at the corners of my mouth. Is there a way thus can be cured whenever it is?
Thank you Dr. Stephens for yet another great segment. I am a little confused about the peptides you reviewed on hydrolyzed rice peptide and the tetrapeptide 30 and nonapeptide-1. I have hyperpigmentation primarily on my face and it appears nothing has worked. I am not sure if I should get a product from the rice peptide or nonapeptide-1 group. I thank you in advance for your response.
Love all of your videos. I am a senior citizen my face has truly improved since following your anti aging videos. However I have noticed the start of crepe skin on my inner upper arm area. Can peptide products help with crepe skin on areas other than the face and neck? What products do you recommend for crepe skin? Should I use a retinol or peptide for crepe skin? Hoping you will do a video on crepe skin.
I worked at the post office for years never used sun screen because I didn’t understand how important it is now my skin is darker uneven with light spots can my natural color be restored is it a facial that can help please I’m so sad about my face thank you for doing these videos
Great information. Can you recommend soaps that men can use to have even tone. My Face is lighter than the rest of my body. I would like to find a bathing soap that you can recommend that would bring my body evenly with my face. Thanks
Thanks again, or great guidance and advice. I'm still working with the tretinoin and it's working slow and steady. I also have a serum with matrixyl in it to maintain healthy balanced skin.
DR.Alexa I have been trying to find a facial care regimen I'm 64 yrs old with sensitive skin I'm looking for something simple I don't want to start buying a lot of products that wanted work for my skin I was using dove sensitive soap it made my face look dull I change to Cetaphil gentle skin cleanse now it has started to break my face out I don't know were to start with my face if the message reach you I would be grateful for some advice I love your video thank you
I watched this video twice. I love the ingredient breakdown and the products that are discussed. I bought a serum with copper peptides that I use before the Naturium Niacinamide gel cream. But I had been wanting to use vitamin C and retinol. I wasn't sure if I should look for a moisturizer with vitamin C for the AM and one with Retinol for the PM? I'm not sure if retinol and vitamin C can be both combined together or should be done individually like I just mentioned? Also I really am fond of Niacinamide as an ingredient. So a moisturizer with Niacinamide, vitamin C and copper or Niacinamide, retinol and copper would be great. I'm glad that you mentioned products that have multiple good ingredients in them.
Question! I shave my face (inconsistently) d/t visible annoying chin hairs. And I wanna get into anti-aging stuff like peptides and retinoids, but I'm afraid I'll get a bad reaction using those kind of products after shaving. So what kind of routine would be best for that? Any tips about skincare and face shaving are highly appreciated!
Is it possible to be sensitive to peptides? It burns a little after I exfoliate. Also, do you recommend tretinoin use in the summer, and if so how do I use it safely to prevent more PIH? I currently wear broad spectrum sunscreen but I'm concerned.
Fantastic video and explanation. Everything about this video was great, except the audio. I think your video would benefit from a mic (even an inexpensive one). I had a hard time hearing you and had to put captions on, but then it blocked your great table chart, so I had to pause it to turn off the captions to be able to read them.
I NEED HELP! I am having that ugly hyperpigmentation from irritation at the corners of my mouth while trying to fight hormonal acne! Please tell me what to do!!!
Thanks Dr. I have a scalp problem. It is very itchy specially in the crown area. Even after each wash. My hair in that area is short. What do you advice me Dr.?
Hey Dr Stephens Everyone’s been confusing me regarding under eye wrinkles and retinol. I try using bakuchoil retinol under my eyes for the wrinkles I get a lot of mixed answers . What’s the verdict. These under eye wrinkles are extremely annoying
Has anyone used anything apostrophe? I am super nervous because I never really seen Dr. Stevens promote it for black skin. I do not have insurance at the moment and was looking for a way to help take of my skin. But if Dr. Stevens says no lol I will toss this in the garbage.
I suffer from post inflammatory erythema, I’m not sure if you’ve gone in depth on any of ur videos about it but I need help 😭 I have skin care products that are suppose to help but I’m still struggling w what to layer w it and what not to
Thanks Dr Stephens, in France is almost impossible to found a qualified MD for black skin, so I follow all your recommendations !!! You saved my skin !
Are black dermatologists really that rare?
Yes in France am still looking for one in Bordeaux
So true Dr Alexis is really a life saver I am planning to come to Atlanta for vacation just to get my skin check up.
Trop vrai c'est une galère. On en fait plus pour nous même grâce à TH-cam...
@@asli9812 what do you think? Duh.
Girllllll you look 25!!!!! your skin looks really good!!!!
Whoa, I've been skincare obsessed for years and I didn't know there were so many different functions of peptides! Thank you for this video :)
Thank You so much for taking the time to bless us with your knowledge on all things skincare. Your product recommendations have been so beneficial in my skin care routine, All information given is truly appreciated!!!
Yes, yes... I have followed your recommendations Dr and my skin has improved tremendously. Thank you ❤
