The best thing I ever did in the midst of clinical depression and unmedicated ADHD was start taking more care of my skin as I am unable to maintain any semblance of a routine. I got a Costco of dedicated face-only wash cloths, rolled them and put them in a basket like I saw at a fancy spa. The more visually appealing and present, the more likely I was to use a cleanser and if I couldn't shower, at least keep my face and neck clean. Before anyone comes for me about what to do, I am not asking for advice. I do not want advice. With healthier skin I have fewer episodes of skin picking. Thanks!
I purchase your products during the Sephora sale. I used the dark spot serum before my vitamin and this used a moisturizer. When I woke up my skin was glowy and soft. I didn’t read the directions for the soft wash and applied it on wet skin. Next day applied on dry skin with makeup…everything was gone and my eyes weren’t irritated 🫶🏽 I’m going back to get the rest of your products! Thank you!!
OMG I've been an obsessive picker for years and years. I found out last year that I'm autistic and the connections I've made since then between my obsessive skin picking/popping and other things like pulling at eyelashes and eyebrows and picking at/biting my cuticles/the skin round my finger nails has been a revelation. Obviously I'm not suggesting that those behaviours are something people should self-diagnose on as clearly they're a tiny element of a huge range of other symptoms. I'm just saying that for me, I've had to work really hard to stop myself really going at my skin and it's made such a positive difference to my skin. When I'm stressed I've gone in so hard at my skin that it's been so red and painful and I've pulled out basically all my eyelashes. Understanding why I do this has helped me figure out how to soothe myself and mostly avoid those picky behaviours. Following your recommendations has really helped my skin, as well as diet improvements and alternative soothing/distraction techniques to stop me picking. I'm still struggling with biting the skin around my fingers but it's got better as my nails are now really strong so I feel like I'm winning the battle slowly.
Also that skin colour thing - so true. I've seen so much talk about how the skincare and makeup industries have failed darker skintones, which they absolutely have. But I have such pale Celtic skin that until I could afford super expensive makeup I looked orange from the lightest one and NOTHING seems to understand redness. I'm told 'oh but your cheeks look so nice' and want to explain that's only for a moment and the rest of the time I'm beetroot for doing the slightest exercise or if I'm embarrassed or hot, or 'vampiric' when cold. I don't show my body at all because literally all scratches/bruises/cuts show for months on end at least, if they don't scar which they do super easily on my skin, so that I am literally never free from some horribly ugly mark. Ingrown hairs look red and horrible. I had a massage recently with a Thai lady. She was so lovely this is no criticism of her at all, but despite her many years working in the UK, my skin was so pale that she was shocked at how red it went when she touched it and worried she'd hurt me, and said I was paler than she'd ever seen. I grew up mocked (in a tiny provincial English infant school) for how pale and easily reddened my skin was. I have loved Dr Idriss' recommendations for skin that reddens.
If you're open to advice/ suggestions: I've found that using a cuticle tool helps me do less damage - biting and picking (for me) leads to tears and bleeding) but using something precise means I (mostly!) just get the dead skin off. I've also found that using an exfoliant around my cuticles makes them softer and I can't stim pick as much :)
I use Bliss Disappearing act. It’s a niacinamide toner. My pores are visibly smaller, especially under make up and it is not an illusion. My pores are almost nonexistent at 50 years old. I chemically exfoliate every other night. I’m also taking Lipsomal vitamin C, different types of collagen supplements, and hyaluronic supplements. I also use a clay mask 3 times a week. Damn near Flawless (if I may say so myself. )Sooo many compliments on my skin. I don’t smoke. ♥️
@@wendylpaI’m loving the Numbuzin( 6)Deep Sleep Mask(and good molecules has one too) and The clay mask is from Bliss. It’s a microdermabrasion cleanser/mask.
@@katrinat.3032 collagen supplements absolutely work you have to find the one with most grams of collagen. Most of these collagen supplements have hardly any amount to make a difference. The popular spoiled child liquid collagen that’s $55 a bottle has 5 g of collagen in it. You need at least 2 1/half to 5 g of collagen to make a difference. that’s why people have so many good reviews with that. I’m taking up to 5 to 20 g a day so yes, it makes a significant difference and it needs to be all types with the eggshell membrane to get the most benefit. Look up reviews on collagen loading I’ve done that first and then I tapered down. Don’t get milligrams confused with grams. For example, 1000 mg is 1 g of collagen 5000 mg is 5 g of collagen.
I recently purchased The Depuffer roll-on serum and it’s a game changer for those mornings when my eyes feel puffier than usual. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I have learned SO much from your videos. Thank you for being honest and not selling out to other companies! 💗
Large pores have been my biggest skin concern since I was a teen. Tried everything from oil cleansing to pore strips. Saw some improvement with Paula's Choice BHA. Now using Remedy for Pores, love it
I’ve struggled with clogged pores for a while, and it’s great to get advice straight from a dermatologist. Alongside a simple skincare routine, I’ve also added a few supplements I found in a book called Secret Supplements that turn you into a Superhuman. Zinc has been a game-changer for my skin-it’s helped keep breakouts down and my pores clear.
Right! It's also beneficial directly on skin. I tend to get blackheads and use exfoliants and retinol, however I've started using baby diaper cream with zinc as a mask (dr Idriss advice, as always, works👌) When for example taking a bath, leave it on for awhile, then wipe excessives off and clean with usual cleansing products. It really clears out the pores, and also calms skin down. It has made a significant difference on my skin and pores. Zinc really is powerful and good for the skin!
Here I was, thinking whiteheads were blackheads that appeared white on deep dark skin like mine. I learn something new everytime I watch your videos - thank you!❤

Organic shea butter and castor oil are your best friends. For your face - organic oils - olive, avocado... Please do avoid lanolin, petroleum products such as vaseline ( carcinogenic), and anything not organic. Lead free glass versus anything plastic. And, MMR vaccine - best after 2 years of age and in 3 separate shots, if needed. These are suggestions, not medical advice. You are the best advocate for your baby. Best Wishes !
It's more effective to oil the skin from within to avoid strechmarks. But it is of course good to put som lotion on the outside too. I was quite big at the end of my pregnancy, but i have zero strechmarks 😊. Take omega 3 every day. It's good for the brain too. The brain consists of a lot of fatty acids, and a big part of that is omega 3. When you're pregnant you are also growing a brain inside you. Omega 7s are good for dry mucuos membrane, like eyes and the private parts. You also need some omega 6, but that you get enough of from the things you already eat, and it is important to not flip the balance between omega 3 and 6.

This is exactly what I needed! I think I’ve finally found a proper routine to help my skin heal. I’ve dealt with very oily, dehydrated, acne prone skin since I was a teen. A year or so ago I found Neutrogena’s hydro boost line and found it did wonders to curb the excess oil! Now I’m going to try and clear out my pores since that’s the reason I struggle with acne. I’m going to add an exfoliating rice cleanser once a day, a BHA exfoliant once a day, and use a clay mask once-twice a week! Of course, I’m adding these in slowly to make sure my skin tolerates all the change okay. Thank you so much for your recommendation’s!❤
Thank you so much for your incredibly helpful videos! Following your advice has greatly improved my skin. Could you consider making a video on ponytail facelifts for people aged 35-45? I know your thoughts on facelifts, but I’ve experienced sagging and jowls forming, along with a discomfort like something is pulling my cheeks downward. When I was younger, my cheeks were very full despite being thin, but now at age 35, they don’t look very good-not only because of aging but also due to weight loss.
I've used retinal for years. I have recently found adding a prescription estriol cream to my routine helps the appearance of pores on my aging face (I also have rosacea).
Interesting dive. Wish i'd known this 50+ years ago when BuffPuffs were THE answer to spotty skin. 😢 Using a low ℅ salicylic cleanser as a 2 min treatment mask once a week when washing my face works well for my crabby sensitive skin. The secret seems to be how long its left on/ complete removal and the quality of the tlc given to my skin in the following days. (Low, slow, gentle, simple and consistent.)
I have enlarged pores along my nose. If I squeeze, little white worms come out. My skin is great for age 66, I've always taken care of my skin since age 19. I hate my T zone. I don't pick but I would love a solution. Love your content!
Thank you so much for all of these videos! I've been able to build my own skincare regimen thanks to you and seeing results! Here's my vote for in-office treatments! 🙌
Please do an in depth video about seborrheic dermatitis like you did for rosacea 🥹 I know you’ve mentioned ketoconazole, but what about skin care? Products to avoid? Best exfoliators and moisturizers that won’t cause flare ups???
A huge thanks goes to you ♥️ this was much needed video. I have pores only on my nose so I will treat my nose differently from the rest of my face with the new instructions 🥰 THANK YOU.
Are minis available to buy? With very uniquely sensitive skin, and LOTS of $$$$ spent on skincare products over the years, I need to try products before I buy.
I would love to see a video reviewing sustainable brands and products. Please include some products in glass bottles. I look around and all I see are plastic containers
Thank you so much Dr Idriss! You're always sooo informative and make it so that we can understand more about our skin and the things we should do. I've always had blackheads on my nose. And this is always one of my problems. I'm guilty of the pore strips which I do once in a blue moon 😂 I only finally got it reduced after I started doing double cleansing (using skin1004 oil cleanser and foam). I'm glad to hear you say it could work to unclog pores. It validates I'm on the right track. I have a question: I live in a humid country in Asia Philippines and you mentioned just cleaning my face with water in the morning. What skin care products can I use after, then? Because I can still feel the skin care from the night before, I'm afraid of putting too much or too little that will cause clogging of pores again.
I just made the most delicious natural exfoliating cream : Zest lemon Sugar Coconut oil I just made a little bit that fit in a small tea cup… zested about 1/2 tsp of lemon, squeezed a little of the juice, teaspoon of sugar, tablespoon of virgin coconut oil, mixed with chopstick. Massaged all over my face & hands. Rinsed with warm washcloth. My skin feels so soft & silky 🍋💗🍋
Hey Dr Shereene....I discovered your videos this summer and really enjoy them, I've definitely learned a thing or ten from the advice you've provided and have seen great improvements in my skin. One thing I've noticed in watching your videos is when you show pictures of skin conditions, it's more often than not on white skin. As a Black woman, I find it pretty hard to know what something should look like on my skin because most of the time medical books, blogs, websites, etc will always present the issue on white skin, when these things could look quite different on Black or darker toned skin. This is especially triggering when a few years ago my mom developed an infection on her arm from a double bypass surgery, the booklet the hospital gave us to reference what a 'healthy healing incision' should look like was only on white arms. I could not tell at all whether my mom's incision was okay or not by looking at her arm and the booklet, but based on gut instinct of feeling something wasn't right, i called the nurse and next day we found out she had developed a serious infection at the incision. This is all to say that it would be great to see a spectrum of skin colours in your videos as well please, to help some of us who aren't white skinned be able to identify what these conditions look like on our darker skin colours. Thank you :)
I spent my teen and 20's fighting what I thought was black heads. Once the truth started becoming more accessible, I could switch to SF. Now found COSRX BHA and used it for couple of years twice a week and then using their AHA and BHA toner daily. Works like a treat. I still end up with some tiny black spots, however soon much less visible and that's without any crazy digging in my skin!
I heard, that retinol may cause receding hairline/eyelashes/eyebrows. On the other hand, some dermatologists recommend applying it to the balding spots. It’s kinda confusing, so I would like to know your opinion, Dr. Idriss. Thank you
I love your videos ❤ your my biggest inspiration, I'm in the UK and the things are very different here when it comes to learning. I want to learn all things skin so I can help others with facts not fiction. X
Regarding alternatives to stinky sulfur masks, I've had success with Innbeauty's pimple paste (also called drying paste). It contains sulfur and other ingredients so it has a slight smell but not overly eggy. I leave it on over night and after using it for about 2 months, my extremely acne-prone skin has pretty much cleared up.
Very helpful information! I’ve struggled with sebaceous filaments most of my life (50 years so far)on my nose. It also seems to be an oil factory. I’ve used the Kate Somerville sulphur cleanser as a mask (mostly on my nose) after watching a previous video of yours on this subject and it’s been working fairly well; however, I would love to see a video on the in-office treatments available!
You look fabulous! I hope whatever you were in Boston for went well! I’m with many of the other commenters and would love a tutorial on this make up look. It’s such an elegant look on you!
I would love to hear about the in office treatments for the appearance of larger pores, and overall cleaning/care. I’m curious about the treatments for acne scarring as well…I have to search and see if there is already a video on this.
Thank you for this! What about spot treatments? There are so many options and I get overwhelmed/ confused. Could you do a video breaking down the different types and which you recommend? Thanks!
Great info as usual, really interested in what office treatments are the best; also would love a video for teenagers( picking, scars, teaching them basics of good skincare, all my Grandchildren are breaking out) ❤😃👍🇨🇦
Definitely very useful. I appreciate your videos. Maybe sometime in the future you can make video about men skin care, specially for those who have beard and mustaches. Thank you!
Can you do a video on dark circles? Not how to cover them, but how to improve them. Mine are partly hereditary/ethnic, and partly due to poor exercise, due to chronic conditions.
Hi Dr. Shereene, would you be so kind to publish a video about male teenage skin. My son is 15 years old and we have no idea whether we should shave his beard now and which products are best for his skin. Of course, shaving also opens up pimples. The ugly whiskers are gone but now more and more pimples are appearing. How can we do it right? Thank you very much. Kind regards 🫶
Thank you for fitting us Nerds into your travel schedule. I hope you have set aside for some fun while you're in Boston. It is one of my favorite cities! 💜🩷💜
I wash my face in the shower which allows me to flood rinse my face. Once I started doing that, I stopped getting little breakouts at my hairline and at my lower back jaw.
I am rosacea prone, flush very easily, very oily, dehydrated etc. I do most of this already and still suffer, but my questions are: I use tretinoin instead of retinol… is that better/worse? I use metronidazole before La Roche Posay matte moisturizer in the morning. I have severe dry eye as well and worry the retinol/tretinoin could be making that worse. Is there something I am missing? Niacinamide and glycolic pads are probably the two favorite things I use.
First, I love you Shereene! Would love to know your thoughs on Remedy for Pores. I bought it and it's helped but I don't know if you approve. Also, how long should I use it for? Love from Beirut
Maybe she said it and I didn't hear it but another thing about enlarged pores is that it's hereditary so you might have to try a few different things before you find something that works. If you have sensitive skin like I do, some of these Solutions don't work or are too harsh. Dr Paula's salicylic acid was too harsh for my face. I have also gone to a dermatologist about my pore because for some of us it spreads, especially if you have the oily T Zone. She gave me a prescription for retinol which worked for a while and then it stopped working as well. so I am still on the hunt for a solution, going to try zinc next.
Hi Dr. Idriss! Can the PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid be used as a daily face wash? Or do you recommend using it just a few times a week?
Please cab you talkabout children’s skin. My kids are 7 and 10. They have always washed their faces either with a gentle soapfree cleanser or with a dove soap or something. They doget some black heads or clogged pores on their cheeks/ side of face, sometimes in the middle of the forehead. What should we use/do to make sure we teach them good things to do with their skin fromthe start
Temporary pore fix I use for an event is peace out pores nose strip hydrocolloid patch after Niod flavonone mud mask on my nose and cheeks where I have most visible pores with oily skin
Your makeup looks especially gorgeous in this video 😍

Are minis available to buy? With very uniquely sensitive skin, and LOTS of $$$$ spent on skincare products over the years, I need to try products before I buy.
I would love to see a video reviewing sustainable brands and products. Please include some products in glass bottles. I look around and all I see are plastic containers
Thank you so much Dr Idriss! You're always sooo informative and make it so that we can understand more about our skin and the things we should do. I've always had blackheads on my nose. And this is always one of my problems. I'm guilty of the pore strips which I do once in a blue moon 😂 I only finally got it reduced after I started doing double cleansing (using skin1004 oil cleanser and foam). I'm glad to hear you say it could work to unclog pores. It validates I'm on the right track. I have a question: I live in a humid country in Asia Philippines and you mentioned just cleaning my face with water in the morning. What skin care products can I use after, then? Because I can still feel the skin care from the night before, I'm afraid of putting too much or too little that will cause clogging of pores again.
Would love to see a video on in office treatments and or procedures for skin pore maintenance or improvement.
I just made the most delicious natural exfoliating cream :
Zest lemon
Sugar
Coconut oil
I just made a little bit that fit in a small tea cup… zested about 1/2 tsp of lemon, squeezed a little of the juice, teaspoon of sugar, tablespoon of virgin coconut oil, mixed with chopstick. Massaged all over my face & hands. Rinsed with warm washcloth. My skin feels so soft & silky 🍋💗🍋
Hey Dr Shereene....I discovered your videos this summer and really enjoy them, I've definitely learned a thing or ten from the advice you've provided and have seen great improvements in my skin. One thing I've noticed in watching your videos is when you show pictures of skin conditions, it's more often than not on white skin. As a Black woman, I find it pretty hard to know what something should look like on my skin because most of the time medical books, blogs, websites, etc will always present the issue on white skin, when these things could look quite different on Black or darker toned skin. This is especially triggering when a few years ago my mom developed an infection on her arm from a double bypass surgery, the booklet the hospital gave us to reference what a 'healthy healing incision' should look like was only on white arms. I could not tell at all whether my mom's incision was okay or not by looking at her arm and the booklet, but based on gut instinct of feeling something wasn't right, i called the nurse and next day we found out she had developed a serious infection at the incision. This is all to say that it would be great to see a spectrum of skin colours in your videos as well please, to help some of us who aren't white skinned be able to identify what these conditions look like on our darker skin colours. Thank you :)
I spent my teen and 20's fighting what I thought was black heads. Once the truth started becoming more accessible, I could switch to SF. Now found COSRX BHA and used it for couple of years twice a week and then using their AHA and BHA toner daily. Works like a treat. I still end up with some tiny black spots, however soon much less visible and that's without any crazy digging in my skin!
I heard, that retinol may cause receding hairline/eyelashes/eyebrows.
On the other hand, some dermatologists recommend applying it to the balding spots.
It’s kinda confusing, so I would like to know your opinion, Dr. Idriss.
Thank you
Yes, opinion please!
She really went out and bought products while she was traveling just to show them in this video. 😍
I love your videos ❤ your my biggest inspiration, I'm in the UK and the things are very different here when it comes to learning. I want to learn all things skin so I can help others with facts not fiction. X
Yes in office visit please. Also some videos on pregnancy pretty pretty please.
Yes, please with a video about in office treatments! Would you include treatments for those that have rosacea? Thanks in advance!
Regarding alternatives to stinky sulfur masks, I've had success with Innbeauty's pimple paste (also called drying paste). It contains sulfur and other ingredients so it has a slight smell but not overly eggy. I leave it on over night and after using it for about 2 months, my extremely acne-prone skin has pretty much cleared up.
Sulfur has been known for decades to be an acne treatment. It is in many acne medicines or acne makeup.
Thank you for this wealth of information, great tips. I learn something new anytime I watch your vids.
Lil nerd here! Love your content Dr. Idriss!! _< Thank you for being so informative & fun in each video!!
Very helpful information! I’ve struggled with sebaceous filaments most of my life (50 years so far)on my nose. It also seems to be an oil factory. I’ve used the Kate Somerville sulphur cleanser as a mask (mostly on my nose) after watching a previous video of yours on this subject and it’s been working fairly well; however, I would love to see a video on the in-office treatments available!
My husband nose is so oily. I just pinch it and every pore has little white stringers emerge. I'll check the Kate Somerville cleanser 👍
You look fabulous! I hope whatever you were in Boston for went well! I’m with many of the other commenters and would love a tutorial on this make up look. It’s such an elegant look on you!
I’ve been watching you now for years so have learned so much. Thank you for your channel here!
Thank you for this in depth video Dr. Idriss! You look especially nice too, I cant take my eyes off yours here!
Can you do tutorial on your make up in this video. It looks amazing on you. Love all your videos ❤
What products would you recommend for those of us who have acne-prone but dry (not dehydrated - dry) skin?
🙋🏼♀️ over here wondering this also
for exfoliation: lactic acid can help.
Would love a tutorial on your eye makeup! Always looks great
Thank you for this video and wealth of information. I love your content and am constantly learning for the better ❤
This color looks amazing on you !!!!very luxury and expensive look !
Maybe it is expensive and luxury!
Please talk about the treatments in your next video!! 😍☺️
Dr. Shereene you're amazing ❤ i love watching your videos. I'm a new esthetician and I watch all your videos to learn more
Thank you for all the information. I’m loving your products!
I would love to hear about the in office treatments for the appearance of larger pores, and overall cleaning/care. I’m curious about the treatments for acne scarring as well…I have to search and see if there is already a video on this.
Making note! There is an acne scarring video on my channel 🙌
As an esthetician yea you are totally right I love how you explained it
Thank you for this! What about spot treatments? There are so many options and I get overwhelmed/ confused.
Could you do a video breaking down the different types and which you recommend? Thanks!
This was incredible thank you! Could I ask advice on how often and what rotation we should be using these product?
Could you please talk about NAD and NMN? is that how people stay young? Do you do it? What is it, side effects? Etc?
I have a quick ques, will I be able to use glycolic acid and retinol at the same time? Awesome video as always, Dr. Idriss!!❤❤❤
Great info as usual, really interested in what office treatments are the best; also would love a video for teenagers( picking, scars, teaching them basics of good skincare, all my Grandchildren are breaking out) ❤😃👍🇨🇦
Great tips. Do lasers help with enlarged pores?
Great question! I thought skin peels helped minimise the appearance of pores too?
Can you do a video on how to treat cysts at home? It would be very helpful to know how to treat cysts properly.
You nail polish matches your packaging ❤
Do you think dry brushing is a good idea?
Definitely very useful. I appreciate your videos. Maybe sometime in the future you can make video about men skin care, specially for those who have beard and mustaches. Thank you!
Can you do a video on dark circles? Not how to cover them, but how to improve them. Mine are partly hereditary/ethnic, and partly due to poor exercise, due to chronic conditions.
Thank you Dr Idriss you explained this so well. ❤
🙌❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos! Yes, please make a video about in office treatments and about the under eye area. Thanks!!
Making note!
Hi Dr. Shereene, would you be so kind to publish a video about male teenage skin. My son is 15 years old and we have no idea whether we should shave his beard now and which products are best for his skin. Of course, shaving also opens up pimples. The ugly whiskers are gone but now more and more pimples are appearing. How can we do it right? Thank you very much. Kind regards 🫶
Thank you for fitting us Nerds into your travel schedule. I hope you have set aside for some fun while you're in Boston. It is one of my favorite cities! 💜🩷💜
Love your look in this. Love the makeup and the sweater. ❤
I got distracted halfway through the video when I realized your nails are the same color has your skincare products 😂💜😍
THANK YOU lovely Dr Idriss!!!!!
Can you do a make up video? Your makeup is gorgeous
I wash my face in the shower which allows me to flood rinse my face. Once I started doing that, I stopped getting little breakouts at my hairline and at my lower back jaw.
I am rosacea prone, flush very easily, very oily, dehydrated etc. I do most of this already and still suffer, but my questions are: I use tretinoin instead of retinol… is that better/worse? I use metronidazole before La Roche Posay matte moisturizer in the morning. I have severe dry eye as well and worry the retinol/tretinoin could be making that worse. Is there something I am missing? Niacinamide and glycolic pads are probably the two favorite things I use.
First, I love you Shereene! Would love to know your thoughs on Remedy for Pores. I bought it and it's helped but I don't know if you approve. Also, how long should I use it for? Love from Beirut
Great information! Thank you, Dr. Idriss! 💜💜💜
Can you please do an in-depth on how alcohol is bad for skin?
I kindly request this makeup tutorial 😅 or products. It looks gorgeous today ❤
Thanks for the video! My n.1 problem is pores :c
Maybe she said it and I didn't hear it but another thing about enlarged pores is that it's hereditary so you might have to try a few different things before you find something that works. If you have sensitive skin like I do, some of these Solutions don't work or are too harsh. Dr Paula's salicylic acid was too harsh for my face. I have also gone to a dermatologist about my pore because for some of us it spreads, especially if you have the oily T Zone. She gave me a prescription for retinol which worked for a while and then it stopped working as well. so I am still on the hunt for a solution, going to try zinc next.
Hi Dr. Idriss! Can the PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid be used as a daily face wash? Or do you recommend using it just a few times a week?
Thoughts on the Remedy pore product? it was made specifically for this issue
Love your sweater!! Details?? Thank you for your videos❤
Please cab you talkabout children’s skin. My kids are 7 and 10. They have always washed their faces either with a gentle soapfree cleanser or with a dove soap or something. They doget some black heads or clogged pores on their cheeks/ side of face, sometimes in the middle of the forehead. What should we use/do to make sure we teach them good things to do with their skin fromthe start
What light are you using? Looks so good!
Please make a video on medical devices that are available in the market! ❤
What should we use for under eye whiteheads?
Is it okay to use retinoids while trying to conceive and during pregnancy? If I am not mistaken, it's not safe.
Temporary pore fix I use for an event is peace out pores nose strip hydrocolloid patch after Niod flavonone mud mask on my nose and cheeks where I have most visible pores with oily skin
Please do a video on in office treatments ❤
Thanks Idriss for this interesting video!
🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for making this video Dr. Idriss
