I really love the way you dissipate histeria from skincare culture. You're always so realistic and truly kind to people like me: I'm prone to confuse skin beauty with self-esteem. For me your presence in TH-cam is a blessing. Best regards from South America.
On tretinoin nights:
1. Hydrating toner
2. Tretinoin ointment
3. Thick occlusive moisturiser 😊
What wasn’t mentioned which may seem obvious, but timing in between topicals seems important.
Good Morning Dr. Dray 🌸 and to everyone watching😊Happy Tuesday!
Morning!
Happy Tuesday !
Thank You So Much!! Happy Tuesday, Please have a Magnificent Day!!🌹😊
And a good morning to you and have a great day from Denmark 🌞
Thanks!
You’ve really been glowing lately, even moreso than usual. I hope it is the result of joy radiating in your life!
thanks
I apply thinnest to thickest. Serum, Finacea, moisturizer.
I would love to know if this would work:
Night:
Cleanse
Azeleic acid
Vaseline
Morning:
No cleanse
Vitamin C
Vaseline or other moisturizer
Sunscreen
I remember you said you don’t always have to wash your face in the morning and that it is ok to put Vit C in the morning without washing off your Azeleic acid, I believe? That was on one of your Azeleic acid videos.
Thank you I am enjoying. A lot your videos
I do tretinoin, serum, cream. I was wondering if acids were better to use together. I thought you'd said before that a salicylic acid cleanser could be good to use before vitamin c. So that's what I do in the a.m.
Morning: Vitamin C serum, CeraVe Hyaluronic lotion, moisturizer cream(Olay, Strivectin, Cerave or Eucerin), Australian Gold Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 if I'm working out or, if I putting on make-up, LaRoche-Posay,
Evening: Retin-A .05% cream (with moisturizer on eyes first), then CeraVe or Eucerin moisturizer cream. (I rotate.)
Seems to work great on my 72-year-old face!!!
Thanks for your always terrific videos.
I've seen your comments ma'am! AND you are doing something (if not IT all ) right and have been! Glow on, gorgeous!
@@yelizaveta1278 Thanks!
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray ! I’ve been really enjoying your videos especially since I’ve gotten older and concentrating more on skin care .. I’ll be 60 in 2 weeks and I find your content very helpful and I really enjoyed the last one where u actually tried the dollar tree products .. u don’t discriminate over price either and I like that !
60?? No way!!
I really appreciate people like Dr. Dray. They are board certified professionals but they give information online FOR FREE.
I remember when I was younger, I started having my skincare routine at the age of 14 but most of those routines were wrong. Lol I also only started using sunscreen when I was at the age of 23 after reading a magazine article about it.
I feel happy for younger generations nowadays because they have this kind of available informations online coming from professionals themselves like Dr. Dray ❤️
Oh hon, Dr. Dray is a nice person, I'm sure, but she isn't doing anything FOR FREE. She's making a killing on youtube. I mean she is making hundreds of thousands of dollars and is probably looking for a TV gig like dr. Pimple popper.
Another well -timed topic! I was just thinking about researching my hygiene routine. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me, Dr. Dray. Thank you so much. Be well always🧡
Thanks for always keeping it real! I’m always stressing about which ingredients may cancel each other out but I’m not going to overthink it.
Please do a video reviewing all Elf skincare products ❤
This is amazing, thank you so much. I really enjoy having a long and multi step skincare routine but constantly over think the order and which products to use. This video has made me feel pretty confident I’m doing ok. Been binge watching your videos lately and really love your content. I’m in the U.K. but my daughter is living in the US for a year so send her all your recommendations 😊
OMG! The itching and burning! I experienced perioral dermatitis after 3 weeks of retinol use. I was also layering products. Get a prescription for metronidazole. After applying to my face for just a few days my rash is almost gone. I'm thrilled with the results.
serum to prime the skin, trent cause its the miracle worker, moisturizer to lock down the trent and sooth the drying effect while it works.
So pertinent as I am often confused about this.
thanks for watching
Happy Tuesday !
That color shirt looks great on you!! Thanks for all the info as always! Your friends from northeast Florida
What about putting foundation over sunscreen? You had mentioned in previous videos sunscreens that work well under makeup but how would that work if you’re saying here sunscreen should be on the top? Thanks in advance for your response!
Great topic -- I have wrestled with these ideas in my head every time I use skin products! Thank you.
So could we use Vaseline over body，arms，legs before jumping to swimming pool in hope to minimize the risk of the chlorine towards our skin ?🤔
Thank you! I have been vindicated. I was recently bothered by someone telling me I can't put moisturizer on before Tret after I mentioned that I did that to help with some irritation. This works for me and I've seen an improvement in my skin overall.😊
I do this too for my niacinamide, moisturiser first helps with my sensitivity!
Dr.Dray can you also make a video of you trying popular Korean skincare and your opinions on them. I think there’s a lot of people that are reviewing and pushing K-Beauty for the past 2 years and I can rarely find people on TH-cam that actually give a genuine opinion on them. Also, it would be fun to watch you talking about it
She's done a lot of videos on Korean products, just do a search. She also includes a lot of Korean products in her regular review videos, faves and fails, etc. She's found a lot of great Korean sunscreens. I've tried a few and they are all I use now.
Hello I hope this finds you well. I'm glad you are here with us. 💌
Thank you!! Skin care product choices are so overwhelming and nobody can ever tell you exactly what your skin needs!! Instead I hear from companies or TH-cam influencers that I need this or that but how do I know what’s what?? Even watching you, I’m always overwhelmed!
It was so much easier as a teenager with extremely bad acne!!
Thanks for this one. It gets very confusing which one to use with what one and what order. So this is very helpful.
11:55 so for this I would do definetly serum first and then tret, then cream. But Serum, cream, tret also works! In fact Dr.dray puts her tretanoin on after her cream or moisturizer. 🧴 usually for sensitive skin individuals you would do tret after a cream or so a moisturizer sandwich and tret in between. But serum first cause it’s the thinnest but the order doesn’t really matter since tret penetrates a lot! 😊 let me know how I did Doctor Dray!❤❤❤ live your vids! 😊😊😊😊
Watching your videos over the years has saved my skin and finances. I am so grateful to you. I trust your knowledge and your focus on scientific research and backing. Love this video. Do you have a video on the different types of lash serums and are they necessary?
The answer is all 3? I started tretinion after cream recently, just to be more gentle, as doing laser hair removal
I just keep it simple.
Sunscreen in morning.
And moisturiser at night. Sometimes I use a face mask at night time instead of moisturizers.
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here happy Tuesday I live for this ❤
Morning!
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 happy Tuesday Whitney 👍
@@DrDrayzday ❤
Thank you! I had always used sunscreen as a final layer but a friend told me it should be first. Seemed backwards to me but she seems to be knowledgeable. Almost a month later and you give me the facts.
I wonder what your friend’s reasoning was to put it on first. 🤔
Thanks, good info! I've been wondering about the layering...so many products!!
Hi, Dr. Dray! When shall we use facial treatment oil before or after a serum and a moisturizer? 🌸
Hunh, I now know why my moisturizer clocks out early when I place it on top of my Aquaphor slugging base versus when I use it first before the Aquaphor at night. Thanks for this video!
Good advice Dr. Dray. My sister was just asking me about what would you apply first to your face. You just answered it. Thank you. I learn a lot from your videos.
Is make up considered a product not to use over sunscreen?
Dr. Dray your outro music always puts me in a good mood!
Another timely video. I was recently prescribed Winlevi. I also use a couple of serums as well as Tretinoin. I've been so confused as to how to use them all together. Thanks for explaining all of this. Now I can combine everything with confidence!
I thought I'd share my own experience: I've been on Winlevi, Tret, and a topical antibiotic for my hormonal, cystic acne for about a year. I like to use my Winlevi in the mornings and my tret/antibiotic at night. Any lightweight toners/serums I use before them, and any heavy moisturizer/sunscreen I use after them. If you have additional questions about layering, I recommend talking to your prescriber about how best to incorporate your new prescriptions into your current routine
@@bellasmith4321 Thank you for the tips!
Thank You So Much Dr. Dray, for Taking All the Confusion Out of Layering!! Your Videos are Always Informative!! Happy Tuesday!! Have a Perfect Day and Week!! L9ve and Blessings!🙏💕🩷💟🩷💕🙏

Hi Dr. Dray, how to avoid piling when I layer products: cerave vit C, La Roche Posay moisturizer and Vichy sunscreen?
Thank you for this. My compounded Rx is in an anhydrous (W06) base, and I always worried if anything I put on top would get through it. Now I know it will!
Always on point with the knowledge!
Succeeded in improving skin and anti-aging with mask life!
I have learned soooo much from you ! Thanks again for this video, I love how you make things simple and stress-free ❤️
Hello. Great video. You mention a sandwich technique at the end. Can I use that technique to moisurise before and after Azelaic Acid? I'm pregnant and have rosacea but initially finding it drying. Would like to carry on using by applying moisturiser both before and after but want to check that won't stop the product absorbing? Would Cerave be okay for that?
I am a little confused. I've always seen dermatologists and others putting on sunscreen before makeup. I just did a bit of Googling and couldn't find anyone saying sunscreen comes last. Could you explain why you disagree?
Dr. Dray, I try to save money and buy my skincare at Costco. Do I layer these 4 like this? 1) Neutrogena Hydro Boost 2) Olay Vitamin C 3) Olay Moisturizer 4) Coppertone Face SPF...at night I use the Olay Retinol 24...thanks in advance!
That was so great and informative, Dr. Dray
What happens when you put makeup over sunscreen ? Does that disrupt it too ? I’ve been particularly worried about all the ‘natural’ makeup which seems oil /coconut oil based. To me it seems that would definitely break down sunscreen.
I read some paper that said that putting vaseline first, and then actives doesn't impact the absorption, and some other said it even increases the penetration. Unfortunately, I can't find them now, and lost all bookmarks from the old PC.
Also, if someone used a moisturizer with a good emulsifier, then would the order even matter, as the emulsifier would make the vaseline and other products mixed on the skin anyway? Unless someone put a very thick layer of vaseline first, and then gently pat other layers in.
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray ❤
Morning!
This is going to be good! Thank you as always. Have a great day! ❤️💙😁
You too!!
I love a Quiz!!! And loving the daily videos, Thank you Dr. Dray
If I use a moisturizer like vanicream with petrolatum in the ingredients, can I still use Tretinoin over top of it? Or will the moisturizer block it?
Can I put foundation over suncream?
Thank you Dr.Dray! You are the best 👌
Hello from Thailand Dr.Dray. One question, is it ok if i put a layer of concealer over the SPF? Will it compromise the SPF’s efficacy? Thank you for your daily contributions. ❤
I needed this refresher course! Thanks so much, Dr Dray. Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a blessed evening. 💖
Hi Mary!! Happy Tuesday!! I Hope You and the Little Angels have a Beautiful and Cozy Evening!! Love and God Bless You Always my Sweet Sweet Friend!🙏❤️🐈🐈🐈❤️🙏
best skincare advice! thank you dr dray
Thanks for watching!
I'm officially addicted to listing to your video's Lol :) I actually have been wondering about this, so thank you for this video!!!
Do you have a video on how to layer night time face products?
Thank you, this is a video I needed to see! 🥰
Formulation matters! Jen@ecowell 👏👏
how do you layer if you use a product for hyperhydrosis?
tret or antiperspirant first?
Very helpful and timely!❤
Thanks for another video! Hi from Canada!!
Thanks for watching!
But can I layer Tretinoin or Azelaic Acid under Vaseline? Will it be too irritating cuz my skin in dehydrated & acne-prone and I'm using plain Vaseline as my moisturizer since I suspect my moisturizer is breaking me out
Can you put vaseline on after you use serum, trentioin, then cream, then vaseline to lock it all in or no on the vaseline?
#3 is the correct answer
So if I am using a primer on face put sunscreen last? I thought primer last as it holds your makeup in place
How about mineral sunscreen over aquaphor ointment? I been doing this for my daughter for nearly three years now… Does it mean the sunscreen has been useless for this whole time?? 😢
Hsppy Tuesday! Very informative video!
Serum, tret, and then cream
i’m the worst case scenario 😩 I put cerave healing ointment on face after shower and then tretinoin - thank you for sharing this!
Haha whoops 😂 Be careful switching it up. Might be really irritating now that you’re getting a full blast of tret.
What about tinted sunscreens? Are they as effective as white sunscreen?
I've tried so many that make me break out in whiteheads, inflame and irritate my skin, give me creppy skin, discolour my skin. Can't get it right.
what about if I use a panoxyl cleanser that has 10% benzoyl peroxide?.. will that affect the efficacy of my treatinoin or other products. I figure since it’s not a leave on product it won’t have an affect.
Why is putting on spf first under skincare, after cleansing, not OK but putting make up over spf is OK ?
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and everyone ! This was great . Have an amzing day love to mom and Tybee xoxoxo
Same to you!
Greetings Mary Ann Gonzalez hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@@DrDrayzday enjoy !!!
Happy Tuesday my Dear Sweet Friend!! I Hope Your Day is Going Wonderful! Love and God Bless You Always!🙏❤️💕💕💕❤️🙏
@@jackiemarsh2470 thanks so much ! enjoy xoxoxo
what about niacinimide? I thought it went first?
Thank you! Berry good topic 😊
Thoughts on snail mucin and vitamin C serum? Just want to confirm it doesn’t matter with those two?
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray….see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Does makeup primer impact benefits of sunscreen?
Thanks, very helpful. Is it true that using Tretinoin consistently causes chronic inflammation of the skin? There are a number of influencers saying this .
Great video! So I should not use a retinol and then apply a barrier cream instead use a moisturizer afterwards???
No products over sunscreen??? What about makeup / Foundation??
So should we also avoid a tinted moisturizer that contains sunscreen since you said not to mix your tinted moisturizer with your sunscreen?
Mixing two different products that aren’t formulated to be mixed together is different from one product that is formulated properly.
What happens when I put on sunscreen and throughout the day, my face feels dry and I want to reapply moisturiser or something moisturising?
Quick question Dr d. , I have a prescribed tretinon that is expired by year,I never opened, after watching your videos I now want to do tretinon, is a a expired tret. Still ok to use? Thank you.
I have no idea why I would put all myl makeup on and then apply my Nivea cream sunscreen over it. There must be a better way. I NEVER skip sunscreen but it needs to go under my makeup and? No?
Thank you for this Dr Dray. I do tretinoin and use HA before i use it. It helps with irritation.
Good to know. Happy Tuesday 🌞🌼
:)
@@DrDrayzday 🤗
Is it okay to put my spot treatment after moisturizer? I feel that having spot treatment before then putting on moisturizer might end up spreading the spot treatment product all over my face instead
When you say no products on top of sunscreen, does this include makeup?
Loved this video!
This is actually the very first time that I - very respectfully - disagree with @drdrayzday (whom I hold in extremely high regard and follow religiously): at 6:41 she mentions that a sunscreen should *always* come last.
That is true for creamy sunscreens containing inorganic filters. But I use the European form of La Roche Posay’s UVMune 400, the invisible, unscented fluid, and I explicitly asked their dermatologist what would be wiser: an occlusive moisturiser (regular Cerave) first, then their sunscreen, or vice versa. And they very clearly stated:
- apply the sunscreen first, let it sink in for 15 mins (once fully absorbed, it’s no longer shiny)
- then apply a layer of occlusive moisturiser, but rub lightly, not vigorously
(And re-apply after 2 hrs, over the occlusive)
I had a Visia face scan and my entire face was ‘black’ without any light spots - ie, I had a smooth, uninterrupted layer of sunscreen
Please note that this only holds true for sunscreens containing ORGANIC filters, and only those with a ‘watery’ consistency.
Bravoooo. Chemical sunscreen always goes first on clean skin, but mineral sunscreen always goes the last step in skin routine.
@@Wtn106 Minor detail: both are chemical :-).
This is fascinating. I thought they all worked by making a film on the skin so it had to be last. I haven’t heard anyone say go first. It sounds like this would apply to all the Asia sunscreens too. Love to have Dr Dray weigh in. Thanks for sharing!
@@Hemmyii only mineral sunscreen 🧴 goes the last.
