Shame your consultations went from £250 to £450..... if I recall correctly a mere couple years ago I could have come to see you for £250..... but hey that’s what happens in this world. 😉
I also watch Dr. Sam Bunting along with Dr. Davin Lim. Although this was a unbiased & glowing review, I’m still sticking with my cost effective Cerave moisturizer. ;)
Dr. Dray does not do biased reviews. She bases her reviews on the ingredients and the science behind them. She did point out that it is expensive and that there are less expensive alternatives here.
Patricia West I edited it. I meant to say unbiased but I made an error. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Dray since she was under 10k subs & wholeheartedly trust her reviews.
Apparently she is working on sunscreens too. I'm really looking forward to that! An equivalent of mineral Elta MD sunscreens in Europe would be very welcome.
Edit: I posted this before she made the video, I have since watched it. Cerave has a new hylauronic acid serum with ceramides that is fragrance free. Have you heard of it or tried it out? It would be nice to hear your thoughts.
Girl, I just read this and immediately went and googled it. Totally going to buy when I run out of my Neutrogena Hydroboost. Looks like they have it on ULTA. Little pricey but it looks amazing! A hyaluronic acid gel-cream that is fragrance-free with ceramides is going to be a home run for Dr. Dray!
She did a video on this serum. It's basically unnecessary. I Dutch her review. Was so excited to try it and had it in my Amazon shopping cart...removed it immediately after watching her review.
@@Kathy12Ray I tried it and thought the Cerave was awfully disappointing...to note I have oily skin so it might work better for someone who has dry/normal skin type??
I have personally been using this since it launched and I love it! I have rosacea prone skin and fragrance allergies and I can say I’ve never been happier with a moisturiser! Nice review x
Thank you very much for reviewing European products, as well. Quite often even a Cerave cream or a Eucerin one can cost here sooo much more than in the States, so it's great to have more local-based alternatives. Thank you and happy holidays!!!!
I’m so happy you reviewed this product. I love the flawless cleanser, but i have plenty of moisturizer at the moment. However, when my supply gets low, I want to try it. I trust both you and Dr. Sam for skincare advice.
So happy to see this review.😅 I purchased this and her cleanser but being in the US, it was unfortunately crazy expensive with the shipping. 😳 So fingers crossed I love it..not sure I'd pay the price for it again though. Hopefully Dr. Sam gets a US distributor or possibly starts selling on Amazon.
Hopefully in the future Dr Sam’s products will be available here in the US. Have you ever watched Dr Pimple Popper? I love her show and recently discovered she has a skincare line. I was shocked to see some ingredients that I know my skin can’t tolerate. The biggest shock was her spf 15 sunscreen. Spf 15 is not high enough:(
It currently can be purchased in the USA. I purchased an extraction tool from “Dr. Pimple Popper” and was extremely disappointed to be honest. For the price, I was expecting something semi professional and the quality was inexpensive drug store. No disrespect to her, but that alone stopped me from taking a second look at her site. It screamed money grab only - for me anyway.
The ingredients in this look similar to the freederm oil free moisturiser, except freederm doesn’t contain allantoin. I wouldn’t pay £25 for that when I can get freederm for £5 at Tesco...
@@happydayz7857 I know that Tesco is UK I was just saying it because Dr. Sam is selling her products from UK so if there are people here looking for a budget similar moisturiser the freederm might be an option. I really like it so I thought I'd recommend it. I'm sure Dr. Sam's is lovely and luxurious and in my opinion for £25 the consumer better feel well moisturised!
@agameofantasy Thanks for sharing this. My skin isn't very dry. Maybe in the winter a patch once in a while so freederm is probably better for us oily types then... I will consider the flawless moisturiser if as I become older my skin becomes more dry :)
As an aspiring dermatologist, your videos have really helped me become more knowledgeable about dermatology and skin care. Your videos inspire me to keep working hard to one day be like you. Thank you, Dr.Dray!
That is really expensive compared to CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream which also has shea butter PLUS ceramides that Dr Sam's moisturizer does not. Both are 1.7 ounces.
Happy belated xmas everyone! Does Dr. Dray have a video reviewing the cerave renewing cream in jar you mentioned( purple label without retinol)??? Ty I have been using cerave moisturizing lotion and wondered if this other one would have addes benefits.
Dr Dray Thanks Dr. Dray I will check that out too! Ty for sharing your expertise. You are a true gem!!!! I actually got complimented on my skin on Christmas day! It made my day!
I am soo soo appreciative of your acknowledgement of fungal acne. I don’t know so many doctors get weirded out or feel I am an instagram pseudo scientist when I mention it. But considering it when reviewing products really helps me more than I can express. Love you
Eucerin Q10 is a Shae Butter based moisturizer and SO Very good and moisturizing.... Same price as CeraVe, with not as many ingredients and on the heavier side as far as emollient feel. I personally can’t use CeraVe, it burns my skin so bad 😓. Thank you for all the priceless info, Dr Dray!
Hi Dr. Dray, this is probably a stupid question. You mention that humectants pull water from the deeper layers of skin. Why would we want to do that? Wouldn’t that dry skin out further?
Hi Dr Dray, I like how you outlined your ethics at the beginning of the video, they are admirable and only part of your appeal! I bought Dr Sam’s moisturiser about a month ago, I was a bit apprehensive as I didn’t get on with the Flawless Cleanser. I have rosacea and very reactive skin and I have a feeling my skin isn’t really sure about niacinamide. When I started using it my face felt very tingly, this settled after 20mins and over the period of a week or so the tingling got less and less, though it’s still there for a few minutes. My main issue is that it causes anything I put on afterwards to pill up, Ive tried 3 different sunscreens but to no avail. I am currently using it as a last step in my nightly skincare routine. I’m not sure if it would be a repeat purchase for me, I think Avene extreme tolerance cream (another shea butter based one) is a better fit for me. I love the formulations of both flawless cleanser and flawless moisturiser and I am 😞 they are not a better match. Thanks for the review!
I wouldnt change my Cerave cream for this, first ever cream that actually cures my dryness. Hope she'll release a spf though, now that I would purchase :). Thanks for the review!
Summary of the week after watching your videos for straight 5 days: 50% of my skincare and make up in the trash bin and huge order of your recommendations placed online to replace it. Thank you for all you do!!!
I will have to order Dr. Sam's products online, I've been meaning to get them for a while now. Glad to see you like them too, it's an extra nudge for me to order them.
Great video. Have been waiting for this. I use the Flawless Cleanser and like it a lot but the shipping/duty charges are too high to continue to order. Now that my skin barrier is back in tact thanks to you Dr. Dray my alternative cleanser that works for me is the Laroche-porsay Hydrating Cleanser. I have not tried the Flawless Moisturizer. May do so at some point but my alternative is the Laroche-posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with Niacinamide. Both work wonderfully and are non-irritating on my skin. Happy Thursday.
I have been watching your videos for a while now from Liverpool UK and am grateful for your genuine unbiased advice on products etc. Both you and your mum are so down to earth and I enjoy watching you both. Love your vegan recipes too, Lyn
Catching up this morning, yesterday was spent with Husband in Yorkdale in Toronto. Happy to spend time with you reviewing a nice sounding product. Happy Friday morning 😊🍁
I wish we could get this easily in the US! Love hearing that this product is up there with the Drunk Elephant moisturizers that people love (I haven't tried them because of the price!). Thanks for another comprehensive review!
Hi Dr. Dray ! Great in depth review ! Your stand on brand review on skin care products that you believe in , is commendable. You are a rare gem in you tube. Enjoy your weekend with your Mom and Tybee 😀😘🇨🇦
Great review...can't wait to try this product....Hopefully Dr. Sam will continue with products and create SPF eye care, , lip care, exfoliant and retinol product...a complete skin care line.
I have been using her cleanser since it started shipping to the US and same with the moisturizer. I’m on Aczone and tretinoin for acne, and once I started using the cleanser I could see a faster improvement than I saw with CeRave. The moisturizer has been taking a little more adjustment because the first couple of nights I had tiny beads of water around my nose area, which the Dr. Sam team tried to address (so nice of them!) but I think the issue was that I applied too much. 🤷🏻♀️ It has been fine since. I’m truly in love with her products and won’t use anything else. It’s always nice to know what you think though, Dr Dray! Makes me feel even the more confident in my choice! ❤️
Hi Andrea I discovered your channel and have completely changed my skin care regime! I have wasted thousands of dollar's on skin care and I'm just done making everybody else rich! I do have a question? What do you think of Skin Medica TNS Essential Serum? As a Former skin care junkie it's so hard not to use these sort of products anymore.. Also do you have any thought's on IS Clinical Skin care? Thanks for your response! P. S. Addicted to your channel!!
Thanks for excellent review. You saved me from buying Protini which I planned to do next week. I will definitely try to order this one with her cleanser. Should I use this cream under retin-a?
it does not ...i confused it with the serum...they are coming out with so many new things it i confuse what ingredients they pick and choose to put in different products
Thanks for such a thorough review. I was wondering how Dr. Sam’s moisturizer compares to those by Elta MD. The price is about the same, but the shipping costs are not. I’ve been using Dr. Sam’s face wash and really like it as it doesn’t dry out my skin or burn. So, I’m tempted to try the moisturizer.
Dr. Dray, what is the main difference between the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream and the PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion? Thank you! 😀 And wishing you and Mom Dray a healthy, happy 2019! ❤️
La Roche Posay's "Lipikar" line is also based on shea butter, glycerine and niacinamide, and is quite affordable in UK given the amount you get (200 ml, 400 ml). Their balm feels quite heavy though. I wonder if their "Baby Lipikar" line feels any better....
Dr Dray in one of your videos you said theres no evidence that alcohol compromises either the moisture or lipid barrier of the skin and that the fear mongering is baseless. Please correct me if I dont remember this claim properly and would you be able to refer me to a study as well. Thank you so much and happy holidays
Congrats on hitting the 200+K subs! Weirdly for whatever reason Cerave is not a fave brand of mine but I have Dr Sams moisturizer and LOVE IT. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2019 to you and your darling mother!
I have been looking a lot of Videos about Dr Sam‘s products and i have been thinking a lot of Times if i should test these products. After this review i was finally conviced that i have to test both. So, i ordered both to Germany 😍
I'm really interested in trying this SPF.The fact that Dr.Sam Bunting (unlike cult's favorite Dr.Barbara Sturm who doesn't encourage wearing SPF often,because otherwise you'll damage your skin and you won't be able to get vitamin D) encourages wearing SPF every single day all the time is telling me she really took this product seriously.
Would you consider reviewing some of the Marcelle skin care products? I had someone recommend it but can't tell if it's just gimmicks or actually worth purchasing
I so wish you could be my dermatologist, you are amazing!!! I was wondering if you could tell me if Retin A Micro is just as effective as regular Retin A for anti aging?
Oh my goodness! I ordered both of Dr Sam’s products on January 6. I received them in Louisiana, USA, beautifully and carefully packaged, yesterday, January 14. I used both last night, and the experience was luxurious. Everything Dr. Dray says about them is accurate. I kept touching my face after the Flawless moisturizer. I am in love, inasmuch as it’s possible to be in love with skincare. I woke with supple, plump skin! 🥰 And, you guys, I’m 59 with acne rosacea. These products are dreamy. No redness. Zero irritation. I will be ordering them for as long as I can. Even with shipping, I still saved more money than if I had purchased Drunk Elephant, e.g. (sorry, DE fans ...no disrespect intended.) I FINALLY got it right. I just know it ~ even though I’ve had Dr. Sam’s for less than 24 hours. May I add - the packaging is minimalistic and elegant. ♥️♥️
since it is in promiseb, a prescription moisturizer for seborrheic dermatitis, andother skin disease related to pityrosporum, logic would follow that it is
Weirdly enough, in France you don't have access to a lot of niacinamide-containing and fragrance-free face moisturizers. You have LRP Toleriane ultra night, Mixa pro-tolerance, Cerave Facial moisturizing lotion. Noticeably Cerave, Paula's choice, First Aid Beauty have brought niacinamide from the US to France. However for the body, the AP+ or PP lines, and Bepanthen have niacinamide.
@Dr Dray can you please review the EltaMD AM Therapy & PM. They seem to both have logical ingredients. But would love to hear your opinion on which one might be better for who. They seem similar and I don’t think they need to be used in the AM & PM accordingly. They both have niacinamide.
I’ve tried the cerave night cream and don’t care for it. I think the retinol irritated my skin. I ordered DR Sam. Yes, it’s expensive but I have used Drunk Elephant repeatedly so if it’s better I will switch.
I used the Flawless Moisturizer this evening for the first time and it feels a bit stingy and hot on my skin. I assume it is from the niacinamide. Is this a normal reaction to 5% niacinamide?
@@catherinepark7352 The UK's CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion is exactly the same as the American PM Moisturiser. I nearly bought Dr Sams as a treat before I realised this. I bought it when it was 25% off so it was a third of the price of Dr Sams.
Thanks Dr Dray for such a great review. I learn so much for your and have noticed great improvements in my skin with your advice. Have you done a Q&A on crepey skin on arms/legs? Thanks!!
Love your medical,logical,clear explanations,as a physician myself.You stand out of other vloggers by far! I wonder if you could review the smoothing optical blur Unyfying Anthelios spf 50 by La Roche Posay,which is one of the few sunscreens i can use,having a very oily ,acne prone skin.I find it cosmetically elegant,works well under make-up,,but ressembling more to a primer,you really cannot use too much so I m wondering if it is efficatious enough. I mean the european version.Thank you so much, have a wonderful 2019!
it is not necessary to wash it off; once it penetrates the keratinocytes it is transported to the nucleus by CRABP type II, where it binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR) ...washing it off the following morning makes no difference p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 9.5px Times} span.s1 {font: 9.5px Helvetica}
If im remembering correctly, you said in one of your videos that citric acid is a big no-no in skincare. Ive been avoiding it like the plague whenever I see it in ingredients. Is citric acid as important to avoid in cleansers as in moisturizers?
No, I never said that. Citric acid is more than fine. Citrus oils and citrus is to be avoided, but citric acid is fine...it is used to buffer the pH of the product
I love your videos. I have a question for you though. I know you used to recommend Differin gel. I've been needing to implement a retinol into my skincare. I use to have prescribed Tretinoin (but my insurance said no more lady). So my question is.. Differin, Proactive (Adapalene?), and (a newer one) Curology, are they not all essentially the same thing? It seems from the info I have read these are all very similar, and have similar prices. I think Curology is Tretinoin, Differin and Proactiv are Adapalene? And I believe they're the same strength? Even though Curology is supposed to be a prescription.. is that bullshit? I just think its probably a marketing thing.. idk? Can I get your input pleaseee? 😘
I was reading all the comments and this does not have retinol so I am guessing it will be ok Dr Dray commented in one of her responses that it doesn’t contain retinol. Hope that helps. FYI the Flawless cleanser and moisturizer are awesome!!!
Are you sure the skin renewing night cream has retinol? I purposely chose to use it because it didn’t have retinol since I’m breastfeeding. Now I’m freaking out a little.

Thanks so much for this thorough and considered review. Your approval means so much, I can’t tell you! Sam x
Dr Sam Bunting love your products!! Will you be selling in the states?
I love your moisturizer!!!
Shame your consultations went from £250 to £450..... if I recall correctly a mere couple years ago I could have come to see you for £250..... but hey that’s what happens in this world. 😉
Thanks for watching! Hope you had a nice holiday :)
What a great product! Good work Dr Sam!
I also watch Dr. Sam Bunting along with Dr. Davin Lim. Although this was a unbiased & glowing review, I’m still sticking with my cost effective Cerave moisturizer. ;)
I Third that!!
...and I 4 Th that . Still dray is pretty good to save the average person money and still gives profession skincare advice
Dr. Dray does not do biased reviews. She bases her reviews on the ingredients and the science behind them. She did point out that it is expensive and that there are less expensive alternatives here.
Patricia West I edited it. I meant to say unbiased but I made an error. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Dray since she was under 10k subs & wholeheartedly trust her reviews.
I agree with you.
Dr Dray should have her own skincare line too
w r I second that. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree.
Apparently she is working on sunscreens too. I'm really looking forward to that! An equivalent of mineral Elta MD sunscreens in Europe would be very welcome.
Edit: I posted this before she made the video, I have since watched it.
Cerave has a new hylauronic acid serum with ceramides that is fragrance free. Have you heard of it or tried it out? It would be nice to hear your thoughts.

I would LOVE to see a video for menopausal skin care !!! Maybe someday you can do a chat on that?
I have personally been using this since it launched and I love it! I have rosacea prone skin and fragrance allergies and I can say I’ve never been happier with a moisturiser!
Nice review x

Hi Dr. Dray, this is probably a stupid question. You mention that humectants pull water from the deeper layers of skin. Why would we want to do that? Wouldn’t that dry skin out further?
because the epidermis becomes dry and xerotic ...no it does not. dry skin out...your dermis has hygroscopic proteins that hold on to water

Q: because of the 5% niacinamide, is it ok to put this moisteriser after vitamine C ( morning routine )?
Tks Alot🤩
Cost aside, this sounds like a beautiful product. A more affordable UK option would be the Freederm oil free perfecting moisturiser.
This is a great moisturiser .. all her collection is amazing and has fabulous ingredients. It makes my skin much happier :-)
Thanks for excellent review. You saved me from buying Protini which I planned to do next week. I will definitely try to order this one with her cleanser. Should I use this cream under retin-a?
I don't think CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream has Retinol. Their Skin Renewing Day Cream and Cream Serum are the ones that do.
it does not ...i confused it with the serum...they are coming out with so many new things it i confuse what ingredients they pick and choose to put in different products

Hi Dr Dray, thanks for the review! I would love to know what you think of the Mother Dirt range as they make some interesting claims.
Happy Thursday!
La Roche Posay's "Lipikar" line is also based on shea butter, glycerine and niacinamide, and is quite affordable in UK given the amount you get (200 ml, 400 ml). Their balm feels quite heavy though. I wonder if their "Baby Lipikar" line feels any better....
i like the lip balm...will have to try some of their others
Dr Dray in one of your videos you said theres no evidence that alcohol compromises either the moisture or lipid barrier of the skin and that the fear mongering is baseless. Please correct me if I dont remember this claim properly and would you be able to refer me to a study as well. Thank you so much and happy holidays
I said they were less drying and less irritating than soaps/detergents, and here is the referencewww.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/rr/rr5116.pdf
@@DrDrayzday thanks for the clarification Doc and the source 😁 keep up the great work
Congrats on hitting the 200+K subs! Weirdly for whatever reason Cerave is not a fave brand of mine but I have Dr Sams moisturizer and LOVE IT. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2019 to you and your darling mother!
Thanks for your support!
Hi, Dr Dray! How did you use the COSRX PHA moisture cream? The same way as Neutrogena Hydroboost gel cream and Deep Dive Water Cream?
no it is a moisturizer that can be used alone...as opposed to a moisturizer that does not have enough occlusivity to be used alone
@@DrDrayzday thank you!
Excellent review! Thank you Dr Dray, wouldn’t Cerave facial moisturizing lotion p.m. be a very good alternative to the Dr. Sams flawless moisturizer?
yes, different ingredients though
Is it ok to use a moisturizer with retinol in the ingredients while also using a Retin-A cream?
I have been looking a lot of Videos about Dr Sam‘s products and i have been thinking a lot of Times if i should test these products. After this review i was finally conviced that i have to test both. So, i ordered both to Germany 😍
I'm really interested in trying this SPF.The fact that Dr.Sam Bunting (unlike cult's favorite Dr.Barbara Sturm who doesn't encourage wearing SPF often,because otherwise you'll damage your skin and you won't be able to get vitamin D) encourages wearing SPF every single day all the time is telling me she really took this product seriously.
Would you consider reviewing some of the Marcelle skin care products? I had someone recommend it but can't tell if it's just gimmicks or actually worth purchasing
I so wish you could be my dermatologist, you are amazing!!! I was wondering if you could tell me if Retin A Micro is just as effective as regular Retin A for anti aging?
it is
Oh my goodness! I ordered both of Dr Sam’s products on January 6. I received them in Louisiana, USA, beautifully and carefully packaged, yesterday, January 14.
I used both last night, and the experience was luxurious. Everything Dr. Dray says about them is accurate. I kept touching my face after the Flawless moisturizer. I am in love, inasmuch as it’s possible to be in love with skincare.
I woke with supple, plump skin! 🥰 And, you guys, I’m 59 with acne rosacea. These products are dreamy. No redness. Zero irritation. I will be ordering them for as long as I can. Even with shipping, I still saved more money than if I had purchased Drunk Elephant, e.g. (sorry, DE fans ...no disrespect intended.)
I FINALLY got it right. I just know it ~ even though I’ve had Dr. Sam’s for less than 24 hours.
May I add - the packaging is minimalistic and elegant. ♥️♥️
Glad to hear you like it!
Dr Dray i ordered it also based on your review and now ordered my second bottle ❤️. Very accurate review. Thank you so much for educating us
but is shea butter in this moisturiser fungal acne safe?
since it is in promiseb, a prescription moisturizer for seborrheic dermatitis, andother skin disease related to pityrosporum, logic would follow that it is
Thank you for this review. I just purchased the CeraVe Night Repair cream but this looks great! Thank you for the fantastic reviews!!!
Thanks for watching!
Happy Thursday Dr. Dray and everyone. I also enjoy Dr. Sam's videos.
lilies009 Happy Thursday Sweetie!! I hope you enjoy your Day!!
@@jackiemarsh2470wish you energy, and success all day. Have a great day!
Happy Thursday!
Can you review Glossier milky cleanser? It also has poloxamer.
See you tomorrow Dr Dray ..hope you had a wonderful Christmas! X
Enjoyed:)👍🏼 Thanks for the review!! I have been using Dr Sam’s cleanser and moisturizer and I’m loving both!! Happy Thursday;)🤠🐶
Susan Bochy Happy Thursday Ms Susan!! Have a Great Day!
I LOOOVE THIS MOISTURISER!
Weirdly enough, in France you don't have access to a lot of niacinamide-containing and fragrance-free face moisturizers. You have LRP Toleriane ultra night, Mixa pro-tolerance, Cerave Facial moisturizing lotion.
Noticeably Cerave, Paula's choice, First Aid Beauty have brought niacinamide from the US to France. However for the body, the AP+ or PP lines, and Bepanthen have niacinamide.
Freederm in the UK has niacinamide and no fragrance...are there any drugstrore brands besides LRP in France?
@Dr Dray can you please review the EltaMD AM Therapy & PM. They seem to both have logical ingredients. But would love to hear your opinion on which one might be better for who. They seem similar and I don’t think they need to be used in the AM & PM accordingly. They both have niacinamide.
I’ve tried the cerave night cream and don’t care for it. I think the retinol irritated my skin. I ordered DR Sam. Yes, it’s expensive but I have used Drunk Elephant repeatedly so if it’s better I will switch.
I used the Flawless Moisturizer this evening for the first time and it feels a bit stingy and hot on my skin. I assume it is from the niacinamide. Is this a normal reaction to 5% niacinamide?
Thank you Dr. Dray for your honesty and sensible advice!
I hope you are enjoying your holiday!😘❤️🌹🌷🌺☕️
Happy Thursday!
Ive been using this for a few days and LOVE it!
Another great video, I have never heard any other u tuber speak of their concerns of the environment! Well done!
Thanks for watching
Dr. Dray do you know the percentages of niacinamide in the Flawless & CeraVe PM moisturizers and the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream?
no, that is not disclosed...higher % is not necessarily more effective or appropriate though
Hi, Dr Sam's is 5%, don't know about cerave. We don't have a large range of cereve in the UK. I'm loving the flawless moisturiser and cleanser!
@@catherinepark7352 The UK's CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion is exactly the same as the American PM Moisturiser. I nearly bought Dr Sams as a treat before I realised this. I bought it when it was 25% off so it was a third of the price of Dr Sams.
@@elsierushworth2283 oh really? Thanks. I've heard great things about the PM cream 😊
@@catherinepark7352 I highly recommend it. No need to spend a fortune for good quality skincare. As Dr Davin regularly states "It's all Marketing" 😁
Dr dray ❤️... Do you recommend it for a 9 yr old boy ? Thanks
Thanks Dr Dray for such a great review. I learn so much for your and have noticed great improvements in my skin with your advice. Have you done a Q&A on crepey skin on arms/legs? Thanks!!
Is shea butter acne friendly? X
Dr. Dray - can you recommend a bubble bath that is beneficial for skin? Thank you.
bubble baths are not advise...very much the opposite of beneficial
Love your medical,logical,clear explanations,as a physician myself.You stand out of other vloggers by far! I wonder if you could review the smoothing optical blur Unyfying Anthelios spf 50 by La Roche Posay,which is one of the few sunscreens i can use,having a very oily ,acne prone skin.I find it cosmetically elegant,works well under make-up,,but ressembling more to a primer,you really cannot use too much so I m wondering if it is efficatious enough.
I mean the european version.Thank you so much, have a wonderful 2019!
How long does retin a micro stay active on the skin after application? Is it necessary to wash it off in the morning ?
it is not necessary to wash it off; once it penetrates the keratinocytes it is transported to the nucleus by CRABP type II, where it binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR) ...washing it off the following morning makes no difference

@@DrDrayzday Thank you so much!
A review on Kiehl’s products please??? Especially the midnight recovery oil!
Can we get Dr. Sams product in Canada?
Isn’t shea butter comedogenic? As far as I remember it breaks me out like crazy so although I really wanna buy it I am afraid 😅xx
Can you mix chemical and physical sunscreen?
If im remembering correctly, you said in one of your videos that citric acid is a big no-no in skincare. Ive been avoiding it like the plague whenever I see it in ingredients. Is citric acid as important to avoid in cleansers as in moisturizers?
No, I never said that. Citric acid is more than fine. Citrus oils and citrus is to be avoided, but citric acid is fine...it is used to buffer the pH of the product
ohh okay@@DrDrayzday
Will this work well on dehydrated acne prone skin?? Bc it has dimethicone so I’m kinda icky abt it
Thank you for this review. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Sam's cleanser and was considering giving this a try, and now I definitely will.
Thanks for watching
I love your videos. I have a question for you though. I know you used to recommend Differin gel. I've been needing to implement a retinol into my skincare. I use to have prescribed Tretinoin (but my insurance said no more lady). So my question is.. Differin, Proactive (Adapalene?), and (a newer one) Curology, are they not all essentially the same thing? It seems from the info I have read these are all very similar, and have similar prices. I think Curology is Tretinoin, Differin and Proactiv are Adapalene? And I believe they're the same strength? Even though Curology is supposed to be a prescription.. is that bullshit? I just think its probably a marketing thing.. idk? Can I get your input pleaseee? 😘
they are all the same drug, yes
Always good to see you and appreciate very much you're knowledge, research and reviews ❤️😊
How many ounces?
Here because Wayne goss recommended!!❤️
Price! Just that big hurdle. So expensive to get that here in Asia...
agree
Seriously informative intelligent fact based review as always ! Love you Dr. Dray !!!!
Is it okay to use the CeraVe Renewing Night Cream with prescription Tretinoin or would that be too irritating?
Melissa Ann I was wondering that too
Joann Orlando hopefully she sees this question then. 😊
I was reading all the comments and this does not have retinol so I am guessing it will be ok Dr Dray commented in one of her responses that it doesn’t contain retinol. Hope that helps. FYI the Flawless cleanser and moisturizer are awesome!!!
Joann Orlando Thanks! I’ve been wanting to try them but don’t want to pay the shipping and duties to get it to the U.S.
Are you sure the skin renewing night cream has retinol? I purposely chose to use it because it didn’t have retinol since I’m breastfeeding. Now I’m freaking out a little.
It doesn't have retinol. Im on tretinoin and I made sure!! The other products in this line have retinol though
it does not...i confused it with the serum, which does
She said it’s safe for pregnancy 😊
Thank you for such thorough information. Any thoughts on Dr. Perricone products?
i reviewed in ulta once
Thanks, checked out an oct. Ulta but didn't see it.@@DrDrayzday
