I was skeptical that an anti-aging skincare regimen using drugstore products would be effective and show real results but I’m happy to say that I was wrong. I put together a daily routine using products recommended in this video and have been using them at the prescribed times each day and now after 1 month I really see improvement in my face. I went a bit further to include a total body moisturizer (using Cera Ve) and am happy with the way my skin looks and feels. Also, I use the vitamin C serum and Hydro Boost moisturizer each morning on my hands and then just the Hydro Boost at night and now after 30 days my hands look years younger. I am truly happy that I found this video and followed these simple steps and urge you all to try it out…even if you are as skeptical as I was.
To be honest, i really appreciated the way she broke things down so its easier to understand. I feel like all skincare videos on youtube now are hard to understand and keep track of or only push certain products because of sponsoring...
@@TheBudgetDermatologist what do you think about olay triple power? I’m using that now but my skin is drying out. I tend to be acne prone so I don’t like greasy products.
I’ve been an esthetician since 1990 tried loved every high end brand out there too! Point: they’re probably no better but they sure put a touch of glamour on the dressing table and in your bathroom!!! I’m enjoying Chanel and Clarins products ! They make me feel beautiful
Video summary (starts 1.20): 1- Collagen building product 2- Sunscreen 3- Skin barrier health (proper cleanser and moisturizer 2x a day) 4- Brightening up that complexion
Doing the happy dance after realizing that my existing skincare routine products are included. Shout out to you Dr. for giving us affordable and effective options.
I have been using 1 product from each of your categories here for a month now. I can't begin to tell you the incredible transformation of my skin. Each time I touch my face it feels as if I've just put on moisturizer even if it's been hours. Fine lines have been reduced and my face has a healthy glow. So glad I found your channel. Thank you for your expertise!
Thank you for recommending affordable products! I’m so sick of influencers recommending a skin care routine that consists of 10 products that each cost a $100 😩
I agree, most of the products I use are super cheap. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on skin care. More expensive doesn’t mean it’s better or more effective ☺️
@@julieagarcia6259 our landscape is pretty beautiful, though our plastic waste and littering can be pretty bad. Like all countries, there are things that aren't so great, for example our mental health statistics. And it's not insulting to call us kiwis, we call ourselves that. :)
I got the 1. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser 2. La Roche-Posay Double Repair Moisturizer 3. Differin Gel Adapalene 0.1% gel 4. La Roche-Posay Ultra light sunscreen fluid Day 7 and my skin feels so much better. It's already softer and the areas were I don't have melasma are more toned and even. I'm so happy 😊. Once I'm done with this set, I'm going to start the one for melasma. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Finally...someone who knows what they are talking about and not pimping products! Ha I am a licensed Esthetican and worked for a Dermatologist. This Dr is straight forward and very pleasant to listen to and watch. I am brand new here. Thank you for these great recommendations. La Roche-Posay used to be sold at NEIMAN MARCUS. I know this because I have sold it in the years past. It's very reasonably priced now and are luxury products at an affordable price...plus they work! Thank you!
I’m crying in the best way! I’m almost 22 and want to get a jump on anti aging. I’m in college and can’t afford the high end skincare. I just watched a video where the products suggested were $155-$75! Thank you so very much for this! New subscriber!
Hell yeah! Not a dermatologist but adding in retinol won't hurt right now and is perfectly fine. According to Dr dray, loreal makes the retinol for a ton of companies so cera ve and the like are probably the same retinol you'll get from a lot of those expensive companies. Im super excited for you!
Yesssss!!! Gone are the days when people believe that GOOD skincare is only from high end exclusive brands. We can get amazing results with affordable products. Let's stop wasting our money and falling for marketing tricks of skincare companies. Thanks for watching!
@@TheBudgetDermatologist You're more than welcome but I'm the one who should be thanking you for simplifying things. I actually came across a great skin/anti ageing transformation from a guy on a bodybuilding forum a year or so ago. Since then I've been intrigued to finally research/start one of my own but kept postponing it until today. It's a bit startling with the sheer amount of products, solutions, brands but your made it simple and clear.
I wrote to L'Oreal about their extensive animal testing in the 2000s. I had no hope they'd change after that, it was an even rude reaction from their rep. When I saw almost every product recommended here was L'Oreal or owned by them, I went back and checked and they no longer do animal testing with products or ingredients! Huge, positive change. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Don't be fooled by L'Oreal's misleading statements. They are still not cruelty free. That means that L'Oreal, Lancome, Roc, La Roche-Posay, Maybelline, and so forth are not cruelty free. Nor are Neutrogena, CeraVe, or Aveeno, among others. Australian Gold is, which is awesome.
I realize this video is a year and a half old, but I had to come back to comment and thank you for it. I am 53 and was only doing bare-bones skincare (generic gentle cleanser and the same oil of olay with sunscreen I've used for 25 years). I started using the CeraVe daily hydrating cleanser, CeraVe daily moisture, and the L'oreal Revitalize pads and after 3 weeks the difference in my skin is remarkable. It's softer, smoother, brighter and it just looks healthier. I don't wear makeup so it's really noticeable. And I LOVE the Australian Gold sunscreen, it smells so good! My next purchase will be the Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream. THANK YOU for your channel and showing how one can have healthy, beautiful skin without paying dept. store prices or breaking the bank!
As early 20's woman, I basically changed my whole entire skincare routine a while ago after watching your videos. Right now, my skin has been great so far and I love it soooo much. After I started using retinoid and vitamin c, my skin looks wayyyy much better. Thank you so much!!!.
@@Pinkrevenge101 It's all depends on your skin though but I used cerave's products daily moisturising lotion, resurface serum and cream to foam cleanser were pretty good. For Vit C, it's all depends on which brand I want to go with but I used to use loreal Vitamin c serum, it's strong but worked really well so, if you have sensitive skin might have to be careful. You might have to find which one works best for you. Hope that's help.
I had never been able to start a skin care routine for my face. I followed your advice and product recommendations based off of my skin needs. It's been about 4 months since I've started and the difference is just incredible. My skin is so clear and happy now, I barely wear any makeup! Thank you so much for your wisdom, it has been a godsend for me. :)
After coming across your video, I followed your recommendations for AM & PM skin care, and picked out items that you recommended and have been using them for about 3 weeks and my face looks so much better! Much nicer, brighter and smooth! & I have this one wrinkle on my forehead that is much less noticeable! Love it! Thank you! Love your videos!!!! & I also love that everything you recommended is AFFORDABLE! ♥️
I’m almost 21 and wanted to start the anti aging as well as help some deep wrinkles and I struggle with acne but watching you and being able to understand how I can incorporate both is amazing 💕💕 thank you so much!!!
I’ve really been wanting to build an affordable and effective skincare rountibe that I can stick too and love. It’s been pretty overwhelming. But omg. You have changed my life and made it sooo smiple to understand. I already use the cerve cleanser and love it so looks like I’ll try to stick with their products. Thank you so much!!
Wow, so much needed information! I am so glad I found you, I am 56 with no skincare routine...this is the year I change that and am so glad you show what I need and where to get it without breaking the bank. THANK YOU!! I subbed!
I just want to say I really appreciate that intro & the reassurance that your recommendations aren’t sponsored. Truly. It’s hard to watch that other YT dermatologist lady that is constantly pushing sponsored videos & IG posts. You’re way more entertaining, easier to watch & 10 million time’s more charismatic than her too. Great video! Just subscribed 💚
I just wanted to say a big fat THANK YOU!! I have been very blessed with great skin up until the last few years and with that I have to admit that I never did anything skin care wise to help my skin I just simply used a face cleaner every night and that's it. So with that I have been struggling on what in the world I have to do without breaking the bank and just simply keeping this simple and easy to understand with being so new to this world of skin care, and your video's have defiantly done that for me! I really appreciate you for taking your knowledge and sharing it for free to help people like me. So once again thank you for being such a wonderful person!
Thank you for this! Every dermatologist I have been to in the last 20 years has tried to push their own private label products on me when I ask them for inexpensive skincare recommendations. I gave up and followed Dr. Dray’s advice and just used Cerave.
Im so glad my routine has been correct. Morning: cleanser, moisturise/ suncream. Afternoon: reapply suncream. Night: cleanser, retinol( la roch posay redermic). For spots: salysilic acid and to brighten skin: vitamin c serum.
I have many sun-damage spots on my face. I started using anti aging dermalmd serum a couple months ago and I'm noticing big improvements, the spots are fading and are much less noticeable. I've had no irritation only improvement. I use a moisturizer over this serum, after it is soaked in. I'm very happy with this serum and will be continuing to use it everyday.
How very timely to have stumbled upon your channel. I'm in my 60's and my skin is changing drastically. I now have dry, flaky areas between the brows and at the corners of my mouth. My present routine is not working and it's high end. I'm off tomorrow to the drug store to try some of your recommendations. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for being straight-forward and simplistic in addressing skincare routines. So many channels leave me feeling so confused....so many steps...so many products. You are to-the-point and informative! Thank you!
Hi Dr. Locke! I just came across your channel today and immediately want to let you know how valuable this content is. I am a dermatology nurse practitioner and I been preaching this content for years- yes you can have great skin without spending a fortune on overpriced, less effective products. I am so glad to see that you have provided so much valuable information to this community! Keep up the great work!
Wow! Thanks so much for the feedback and for following along. I love the message you are spreading as well - you truly do not need to spend a fortune to get healthy and thriving skin. Thanks for your contributions to the field of dermatology!
I’m so great full .. this video so helpful….because of your video I purchased CeraVe products for the day and night skin routine… and with just one use I’m so amazed . . I have such sensitive skin so I’m always hesitant on new products but your the expert and I just noticed how soft, smooth and youthful my skin looks plump . Just thank you!
I have used the Eucerin daily protection spf 30 off and on for several years. It’s cheap, fragrance free, gentle and I believe it’s a mineral sunscreen
I've had 2 pimples in my life (so far), never been a make up wearer, and have never taken care of my skin. I've always have been a tomboy. But now in my 50's (still not girly but not really a tomboy anymore) I still have not had a problem with acne and I still don't wear make up. My daughter makes up for me though, she is very girly! Unfortunately I have developed dark spots and I suspect it's melasma. Can't afford a dermatologist visit but I have been watching these videos and will self diagnose and self treat. Although I don't want to use drugstore products due to the preservatives, I will stick with my natural lifestyle and research some natural products like essential oils and herbs. I truly appreciate these videos as they give me guidance on active ingredients and the results I should be seeking. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos Dr. Locke!
I am using my boyfriends account, it I wanted to say Thank you so much for your videos, you do an awesome job, and I appreciate how organized, professional, and knowledgeable you are!
THANK YOU!!!! This was hands down the most helpful skincare advice I've received. I feel so relieved to finally have a straight forward and easy to follow skincare routine. Only took me 37 years to figure out!
I'm not sure if you will ever read this but I wanted to thank you. I've recently started to break out around my chin from wearing a mask all the time but the blemishes and red marks have cleared up just from using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair for 2 days!!! What an awesome product!!
I'm so glad I finally found an actual dermatologist talking about skincare, and not trying to push "iconic" products down the throat. Moreover, a 10 step skincare routine is simply unfeasible for any working woman. The only thing I can't relate in this vid is that La Roche Posay is not inexpensive here in Brazil, that's why I usually buy just one product or another from this brand.
I'm having a hard time finding a sunscreen that looks good under makeup. This is, by far, the best channel for skin care that I've encountered. I really appreciate the great advice and information.
I am watching your video for the second time. I like your channel. I am 63 and am tired of spending so much money at the makeup counter. I hope this video applies to us older women who feel young! I’ve purchased one cleanser and one moisturizer thus far. Thanks.
I have terrible terrible skin I had acne super sensitive skin that irritates and I’ve got sebderm and it was terrible I started using products you recommend and my skin has not felt better and looked better I am sooo happy and grateful to you thank you for everything you teach us ❤
Awesome comment! I am here to teach people how to transform their skin with products that are affordable, well studied, and actually work! We dont have to break the bank to get great skin! Thanks for watching :)
I really appreciate your videos! It's wonderful to learn from someone who is clear, honest, and actually understands the skincare industry! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I stuck to this routine pretty religiously for about 5 months and I am THRILLED. I wasn’t expecting much i just didn’t know where to start and kinda used this video as an experiment and my skin looks amazing. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I actually don’t wash my face in the morning. When I get up, the only thing I do I apply the sunscreen wear it the whole day(reapplying during the day) and then wash it off before the bed time. So I wash my face only one time in 24 hours. That’s what dr dray does. I just follow her tips. I believe that the moisturizer and the sunscreen are the most important things in skin care.
This is a great point! Many people can get by with cleansing their skin only once per day and this is totally fine to do. It all depends on skin type, skin condition, what products you are using, and what concerns you are trying to correct. It sounds like you are doing a great job and getting good results which is what really matters. Sunscreen daily is SO important. Great job! Thanks for watching :)
Wow, this was amazing. Thank you! I'm 40 (eek) and only really use a face wash and a moisturizer at night. I've been looking for an affordable routine and one that was simple to follow. I just ordered from your list and all products kept me under 100! I am excited to start!
I had been looking for recommendations for a daily routine but all the ones I found were very complicated, very expensive, or with too many products at once, so I'm really happy I finally found this one, very easy to understand and with the specific type of products I have to use morning and night. I'm gonna put this into practice right away, thank you!! :D
Thanks for the recommendation I am 33 years old and I have never in my life taken care of my skin but now that I am older now I realize that is very important.
Finally somewhere for me to start! I’ve always loved makeup but I’m almost 28 so trying to stay ahead of my skin and started looking into better skincare instead of just trying to wing it. This was wonderful!
I immediately fell in love with you, the way you explain it is very clear to the point, your articulation is very good, and I really like your enthusiasm in explaining. keep inspiring beautiful doctors!❤️
I just wanted to tell you that I accidentally but ironically came across your video! I just turned 40 and had a hysterectomy about a year ago. I'm not bragging but I have always had very clear and good skin. I used to have to wear makeup every day, and I know that you are going to cringe but my skin care routine used to be very simple. I would use rubbing alcohol to remove my makeup, usually dove soap to wash and a moisturizer. And I never had any problems with dryness and my foundation always looked flawless (this was at the time when it was foundation and powder only). I stopped using the rubbing alcohol years ago and started taking a way better approach to skincare. I have found many influencers on you tube recommending many different products. A few I have tried, I was treating my skin as dry/combo. My foundation was always cracking and breaking apart. I was at the chiropractor and I got up off the table and saw this huge oily spot on the paper and I started treating my skin as oily. Nothing has worked. So I talked to a skin care expert at Ulta and followed what she said and still defeated. Which leads me to your video, I really appreciate you sharing this information for many different reasons. I'm subscribing, then going shopping and I'm going to follow the routine you have shared, I will let you know how it goes, maybe you said it in the video but how long before I should see a difference in my skin after starting this? Again thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🤞this works!
Wow!! Good luck. Glad you ditched the rubbing alcohol haha. You will gradually see improvement in several different areas if you have the right products for your skin. First you will see improvement in moisturization (matter of days) and skin barrier health. Then you will see a brighter complexion as the chemical acids kick in (days to weeks). Then lastly, it takes a bit longer to see dark spots and fine lines fade which happens over the course of closer to 6 months.
I love, love La Roche-Posay products. My sensitive, 64-yr-old, combination skin has never looked--and felt--better. The La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser is my particular favorite.
Hi Doc, I'm 70 and live in Australia. Years of being in the sun have done the damage to the extent that I have had skin cancers removed from my arms and face. My issue of course now is very dry skin especially on my legs. I have never worn make-up so the need to remove is not a concern. I'm super careful now being in the sun. I have droopy crepey skin. I'm on an aged pension so it's imperative that cost is my first concern. All I use to wash my face and body is "Goat soap" It's supposed to be pure. I know it doesn't have sulphates or parabens. I use E45 cream, ingredients are white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin and wool fat. Because I live in Perth Western Australia I'm reluctant to use moisturizers every day as they make me hotter. Unfortunately also we pay a great deal more for products in Australia. Can you enlighten me if I'm doing the wrong thing using the above products and the best collagen product to help build some strength in my skin. Thanks Rosemary
Make sure you are following up closely with a dermatologist given your history of skin cancer! Your dermatologist should be able to give you specific advice for your unique skin condition and skin type to set you up with a personalized and effective routine. In general, one of my favorite and most effective products to build collagen in the skin is a retinoid. This comes in a prescription and over the counter forms. Ask your dermatologist which is right for you! I mentioned some of the drugstore retinoids I love in this video and linked them in the comments. Check them out! Good luck!
Im 62. The Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Tinted Face Mineral Lotion dries my skin out. The others are a great selection. I've tried most of them.
I am totally sold on Neutrogena. About 2 years ago, I decided to spend a little more than I usually do on skin care products. I bought 3 different Neutrogena products. A sunscreen, a night time lotion, and a day time lotion, or 'cream', if you prefer. I honestly thought, 'I doubt this will make much of a difference." Here to tell you, I am amazed. Their products work really well.
Finally a routine I can follow!! At 43 I really can tell the difference in my skin. So I will be trying this routine starting today!! Can't wait to follow up with results next month!! Thank you Dr. for your advise!
I use CeraVe Oil Cleanser and it’s brilliant 🤩 so gentle and removes every bit of makeup, leaving skin clean and hydrated. I struggle with sensitive skin and I’ve had Perioral Dermatitis in the past, so I’m verrrry careful with what I introduce to my skin care routine. I also use La Roche Posay Toleriane Cream, another very gently yet effective product. For SPF I use foundation every day, and it has a built in sun factor protection.
U got me glued to ur videos today. I really love ur videos cause they are more educative and helpful. Please what type of retinol is safe for sensitive skin. Thanks
Stumbled upon this channel for the first time and I can’t thank you enough for the first part of this video. There’s a million products out there that are marketed as absolutely urgently necessary for our skin so to see it explained so simply and clearly but in enough detail is truly amazing. Thank you so much ❤️ Subbed!
Message 2 of 2: so from what I understand with the newest videos, the ideal morning routine now might be: 1- wash skin (ideally with a chemical wash to boost vitamine C), 2- vitamine C, 3- Vichy mineral 89, 4- moisturize, 5- sun protection. I understand that there is always new amazing product that come on the market, so I understand that it’s extremely difficult to always adjust the video, so I would totally understand if you don’t do it. Thanks again for everything you are doing :D
Thank gosh for this video! I have looked for something like this and trying to understand 20 yr old influencers and I am 40 really trying to get my wrinkles and keep my skin good and my skin care on a budget
literally my new favorite channel. Subscribed! I was standing in a CVS the other day, in front hundreds of skincare products, overwhelmed and not even sure where to start. I picked something based on the cool packaging, (how I choose my wine too 😆), which is clearly not a good way of approaching skincare. Your channel changes everything!
I have pretty good skin at 63, thanks mom and dad. I am also not delusional to believe in anti aging. I just want to take care of my skin. The problem is, when I find a skincare system I like, when I go to replenish my supply, the products are no longer available so I have to keep switching it up and hoping I find something that works for me.
Most of them don't help, they advertising their products. They don't care about us. " money baby money" thank you my dear may God prosper you in Every way 🙏 ❤
You are so great! Been binge-watching your videos. I’ve watched Dr. Dray for years and while I still love her a lot, you’re a little less rigid in what you think works. It opens up more options and that’s really helpful.
Thank you!! I am cheap with my skincare and I have very sensitive skin so a lot of these brands are already my go tos but I've felt so overwhelmed by all the options.

Exactly 💯
What can a 58 year old women with crepy neck use to get rid of the crepyness
What should we use for dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes?
Amazing video!
My take home summary:
Morning routine should be
1. Cleanse (may be gentle or a type of acid can be added to the cleanser eg salicylic acid)
2. Brighten (vit c)
3. Sunscreen protection
4. Moisturise
(The sunscreen and moisturise can be combination)
Night time
1. Cleanse
2. Retinol - build collagen
3. Moisturise

Yesssss!!! Gone are the days when people believe that GOOD skincare is only from high end exclusive brands. We can get amazing results with affordable products. Let's stop wasting our money and falling for marketing tricks of skincare companies. Thanks for watching!
As a clueless and overwhelmed guy who wants to dabble in skin improvement once and for all, thank you.
Haha! I'm so glad you are taking the time to figure out your skin. Thanks for following along!
@@TheBudgetDermatologist You're more than welcome but I'm the one who should be thanking you for simplifying things.
I actually came across a great skin/anti ageing transformation from a guy on a bodybuilding forum a year or so ago.
Since then I've been intrigued to finally research/start one of my own but kept postponing it until today.
It's a bit startling with the sheer amount of products, solutions, brands but your made it simple and clear.
I wrote to L'Oreal about their extensive animal testing in the 2000s. I had no hope they'd change after that, it was an even rude reaction from their rep. When I saw almost every product recommended here was L'Oreal or owned by them, I went back and checked and they no longer do animal testing with products or ingredients! Huge, positive change. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Awesome! Love that you took time to write to them. Maybe they listened :)
Don't be fooled by L'Oreal's misleading statements. They are still not cruelty free. That means that L'Oreal, Lancome, Roc, La Roche-Posay, Maybelline, and so forth are not cruelty free. Nor are Neutrogena, CeraVe, or Aveeno, among others. Australian Gold is, which is awesome.
@@SheilaR.08 it would help to have a source for your assertion. China requires cosmetic companies to do animal testing, so that still occurs there.
I realize this video is a year and a half old, but I had to come back to comment and thank you for it. I am 53 and was only doing bare-bones skincare (generic gentle cleanser and the same oil of olay with sunscreen I've used for 25 years). I started using the CeraVe daily hydrating cleanser, CeraVe daily moisture, and the L'oreal Revitalize pads and after 3 weeks the difference in my skin is remarkable. It's softer, smoother, brighter and it just looks healthier. I don't wear makeup so it's really noticeable. And I LOVE the Australian Gold sunscreen, it smells so good! My next purchase will be the Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream. THANK YOU for your channel and showing how one can have healthy, beautiful skin without paying dept. store prices or breaking the bank!
This video is pure gold. So tired of spending a small fortune at Sephora. Thank you!!!
Finally. Someone who is an actual skincare professional giving advice! Thank you! This is really helpful!
You are so welcome! Thanks for following along.
As early 20's woman, I basically changed my whole entire skincare routine a while ago after watching your videos. Right now, my skin has been great so far and I love it soooo much. After I started using retinoid and vitamin c, my skin looks wayyyy much better. Thank you so much!!!.
Amazing!! So happy for you. Thanks for watching :)
Which products do u use?
@@Pinkrevenge101 It's all depends on your skin though but I used cerave's products daily moisturising lotion, resurface serum and cream to foam cleanser were pretty good. For Vit C, it's all depends on which brand I want to go with but I used to use loreal Vitamin c serum, it's strong but worked really well so, if you have sensitive skin might have to be careful. You might have to find which one works best for you. Hope that's help.
You are a breath of fresh air, I have bought such expensive products with little results.
I had never been able to start a skin care routine for my face. I followed your advice and product recommendations based off of my skin needs.
It's been about 4 months since I've started and the difference is just incredible. My skin is so clear and happy now, I barely wear any makeup! Thank you so much for your wisdom, it has been a godsend for me. :)
Hi ! Do we have to layer all these am products ? Please and thank you
Omg discovering you is truly a TREASURE!
@Kayla McNay Dr Dray might not be everyone's cup of tea. Its ok to have more than one dermatologist on TH-cam.
Thanks so much!
@Kayla McNayI like some of her videos but this channel is better in my opinion
People like you are the true influencers , so gratful for all the informations you give us for free
After coming across your video, I followed your recommendations for AM & PM skin care, and picked out items that you recommended and have been using them for about 3 weeks and my face looks so much better! Much nicer, brighter and smooth! & I have this one wrinkle on my forehead that is much less noticeable! Love it! Thank you! Love your videos!!!! & I also love that everything you recommended is AFFORDABLE! ♥️
That's so wonderful. I'm so happy for you. You can absolutely get amazing improvement in the skin with affordable products!
I’m almost 21 and wanted to start the anti aging as well as help some deep wrinkles and I struggle with acne but watching you and being able to understand how I can incorporate both is amazing 💕💕 thank you so much!!!
I’ve really been wanting to build an affordable and effective skincare rountibe that I can stick too and love. It’s been pretty overwhelming. But omg. You have changed my life and made it sooo smiple to understand. I already use the cerve cleanser and love it so looks like I’ll try to stick with their products. Thank you so much!!
Wow, so much needed information! I am so glad I found you, I am 56 with no skincare routine...this is the year I change that and am so glad you show what I need and where to get it without breaking the bank. THANK YOU!! I subbed!
I just want to say I really appreciate that intro & the reassurance that your recommendations aren’t sponsored. Truly. It’s hard to watch that other YT dermatologist lady that is constantly pushing sponsored videos & IG posts.
You’re way more entertaining, easier to watch & 10 million time’s more charismatic than her too. Great video! Just subscribed 💚
CeraVe needs to sponsor you, lol. Thank you for the highly informative video!
You are some welcome. Glad it was helpful! I do love Cerave products but I also love being able to talk freely about any product I wish!
My dermatologist definitely recommends Cerva!
@@Drsirkin Mine recomended Cerave
I just wanted to say a big fat THANK YOU!! I have been very blessed with great skin up until the last few years and with that I have to admit that I never did anything skin care wise to help my skin I just simply used a face cleaner every night and that's it. So with that I have been struggling on what in the world I have to do without breaking the bank and just simply keeping this simple and easy to understand with being so new to this world of skin care, and your video's have defiantly done that for me! I really appreciate you for taking your knowledge and sharing it for free to help people like me. So once again thank you for being such a wonderful person!
Amazing video and I admire doctors/pharmacists/nurses/ and all others helping people so much on You Tube . So grateful for good people like you.
THIS is the video I’ve been searching for!!!!
Just turned 28 and noticing my first signs of aging and feel like I need to make up for lost time
The way you make us understand the science and logic behind every care product is so clear no other dermatologist does like you❤
Thank you for this! Every dermatologist I have been to in the last 20 years has tried to push their own private label products on me when I ask them for inexpensive skincare recommendations. I gave up and followed Dr. Dray’s advice and just used Cerave.
That's awesome. You CAN get healthy and glowing skin with affordable products! Good luck!
Are some skin damage reversalble
Im so glad my routine has been correct. Morning: cleanser, moisturise/ suncream. Afternoon: reapply suncream.
Night: cleanser, retinol( la roch posay redermic). For spots: salysilic acid and to brighten skin: vitamin c serum.
I have many sun-damage spots on my face. I started using anti aging dermalmd serum a couple months ago and I'm noticing big improvements, the spots are fading and are much less noticeable. I've had no irritation only improvement. I use a moisturizer over this serum, after it is soaked in. I'm very happy with this serum and will be continuing to use it everyday.
How very timely to have stumbled upon your channel. I'm in my 60's and my skin is changing drastically. I now have dry, flaky areas between the brows and at the corners of my mouth. My present routine is not working and it's high end. I'm off tomorrow to the drug store to try some of your recommendations. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for being straight-forward and simplistic in addressing skincare routines. So many channels leave me feeling so confused....so many steps...so many products. You are to-the-point and informative! Thank you!
That is my goal! I am so glad it is helpful to you. Thanks for watching!
Hi Dr. Locke! I just came across your channel today and immediately want to let you know how valuable this content is. I am a dermatology nurse practitioner and I been preaching this content for years- yes you can have great skin without spending a fortune on overpriced, less effective products. I am so glad to see that you have provided so much valuable information to this community! Keep up the great work!
Any recommendation for eye cream for 54 year old?
Wow! Thanks so much for the feedback and for following along. I love the message you are spreading as well - you truly do not need to spend a fortune to get healthy and thriving skin. Thanks for your contributions to the field of dermatology!
I’m so great full .. this video so helpful….because of your video I purchased CeraVe products for the day and night skin routine… and with just one use I’m so amazed . . I have such sensitive skin so I’m always hesitant on new products but your the expert and I just noticed how soft, smooth and youthful my skin looks plump .
Just thank you!
Love to hear this!! Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate how easy you make it for a senior to buy affordable skincare on a budget❤️
I’m in my 60’s, let’s see what you’ve got. I love to learn anything about skin care by Dr’s
Thanks for following along! Stay tuned. More to come! :)
Me too!
I’d love to see you talk about Korean skin care, especially their “sun milks”! Their sun screens are amazing
How are they different to other sunscreens? Thanks.
@@misschocoholic82 they use advanced chemical filters not approved by the fda yet. A lot of dermatologists like them.
Where can these products be found?? I’d love to try them
@@caportilloh I bought a bunch of them at Walmart. Walgreens will have them and Target too.
@@katieinohio5 thank you so much! I’ll look for them 😊
I have used the Eucerin daily protection spf 30 off and on for several years. It’s cheap, fragrance free, gentle and I believe it’s a mineral sunscreen
I've had 2 pimples in my life (so far), never been a make up wearer, and have never taken care of my skin. I've always have been a tomboy. But now in my 50's (still not girly but not really a tomboy anymore) I still have not had a problem with acne and I still don't wear make up. My daughter makes up for me though, she is very girly! Unfortunately I have developed dark spots and I suspect it's melasma. Can't afford a dermatologist visit but I have been watching these videos and will self diagnose and self treat. Although I don't want to use drugstore products due to the preservatives, I will stick with my natural lifestyle and research some natural products like essential oils and herbs. I truly appreciate these videos as they give me guidance on active ingredients and the results I should be seeking. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos Dr. Locke!
I am using my boyfriends account, it I wanted to say Thank you so much for your videos, you do an awesome job, and I appreciate how organized, professional, and knowledgeable you are!
THANK YOU!!!! This was hands down the most helpful skincare advice I've received. I feel so relieved to finally have a straight forward and easy to follow skincare routine. Only took me 37 years to figure out!
Wonderful Information! My "aging" skin is happy to have found YOU!
So happy I stumbled upon this channel! You're a godsend, doc! 🥺
So nice of you!! Thanks for watching!
The older I get the more complicated my skin care routine has felt. You break it down and explain the why behind the what and that is SO helpful. 🎉
I'm not sure if you will ever read this but I wanted to thank you. I've recently started to break out around my chin from wearing a mask all the time but the blemishes and red marks have cleared up just from using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair for 2 days!!! What an awesome product!!
OMG, so blessed to have your channel randomly pop up after just coming back from a plastic surgeon consultation appointment 🤦🏼♀️🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad I finally found an actual dermatologist talking about skincare, and not trying to push "iconic" products down the throat. Moreover, a 10 step skincare routine is simply unfeasible for any working woman. The only thing I can't relate in this vid is that La Roche Posay is not inexpensive here in Brazil, that's why I usually buy just one product or another from this brand.
I'm having a hard time finding a sunscreen that looks good under makeup.
This is, by far, the best channel for skin care that I've encountered. I really appreciate the great advice and information.
Great information!
I am watching your video for the second time. I like your channel. I am 63 and am tired of spending so much money at the makeup counter. I hope this video applies to us older women who feel young! I’ve purchased one cleanser and one moisturizer thus far. Thanks.
I just tried the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and my skin is burning. Ugh. Any idea why?
I have terrible terrible skin I had acne super sensitive skin that irritates and I’ve got sebderm and it was terrible I started using products you recommend and my skin has not felt better and looked better I am sooo happy and grateful to you thank you for everything you teach us ❤
Wow!! I wish I had found you about $500 ago lol. I just assumed the more you paid for a product the better they are. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Awesome comment! I am here to teach people how to transform their skin with products that are affordable, well studied, and actually work! We dont have to break the bank to get great skin! Thanks for watching :)
Please will you review ‘The Ordinary’ as a brand.
Loved this video xx
Yes please
Yes please!
Yes this would be a great vid!
The ordinary Niacinamide is the best stuff ever.
Yes plz .. want review on “the ordinary”
I really appreciate your videos! It's wonderful to learn from someone who is clear, honest, and actually understands the skincare industry! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for doing this sponsor free. It's so much more believable and real!!!
I stuck to this routine pretty religiously for about 5 months and I am THRILLED. I wasn’t expecting much i just didn’t know where to start and kinda used this video as an experiment and my skin looks amazing. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
What products did u use and how is it now?
I actually don’t wash my face in the morning. When I get up, the only thing I do I apply the sunscreen wear it the whole day(reapplying during the day) and then wash it off before the bed time. So I wash my face only one time in 24 hours. That’s what dr dray does. I just follow her tips. I believe that the moisturizer and the sunscreen are the most important things in skin care.
This is a great point! Many people can get by with cleansing their skin only once per day and this is totally fine to do. It all depends on skin type, skin condition, what products you are using, and what concerns you are trying to correct. It sounds like you are doing a great job and getting good results which is what really matters. Sunscreen daily is SO important. Great job! Thanks for watching :)
Wow, this was amazing. Thank you! I'm 40 (eek) and only really use a face wash and a moisturizer at night. I've been looking for an affordable routine and one that was simple to follow. I just ordered from your list and all products kept me under 100! I am excited to start!
You are so welcome! Good luck, im excited for you!
I had been looking for recommendations for a daily routine but all the ones I found were very complicated, very expensive, or with too many products at once, so I'm really happy I finally found this one, very easy to understand and with the specific type of products I have to use morning and night. I'm gonna put this into practice right away, thank you!! :D
Love that you’re not sponsored!
Thanks for the recommendation I am 33 years old and I have never in my life taken care of my skin but now that I am older now I realize that is very important.
Love that Vanicream cleanser! Like feel affection for that product. Basic, gentle and EFFECTIVE!
There are so many Vanicream products I REALLY like. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Finally somewhere for me to start! I’ve always loved makeup but I’m almost 28 so trying to stay ahead of my skin and started looking into better skincare instead of just trying to wing it. This was wonderful!
I immediately fell in love with you, the way you explain it is very clear to the point, your articulation is very good, and I really like your enthusiasm in explaining. keep inspiring beautiful doctors!❤️
I just wanted to tell you that I accidentally but ironically came across your video! I just turned 40 and had a hysterectomy about a year ago. I'm not bragging but I have always had very clear and good skin. I used to have to wear makeup every day, and I know that you are going to cringe but my skin care routine used to be very simple. I would use rubbing alcohol to remove my makeup, usually dove soap to wash and a moisturizer. And I never had any problems with dryness and my foundation always looked flawless (this was at the time when it was foundation and powder only). I stopped using the rubbing alcohol years ago and started taking a way better approach to skincare. I have found many influencers on you tube recommending many different products. A few I have tried, I was treating my skin as dry/combo. My foundation was always cracking and breaking apart. I was at the chiropractor and I got up off the table and saw this huge oily spot on the paper and I started treating my skin as oily. Nothing has worked. So I talked to a skin care expert at Ulta and followed what she said and still defeated. Which leads me to your video, I really appreciate you sharing this information for many different reasons. I'm subscribing, then going shopping and I'm going to follow the routine you have shared, I will let you know how it goes, maybe you said it in the video but how long before I should see a difference in my skin after starting this? Again thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🤞this works!
Wow!! Good luck. Glad you ditched the rubbing alcohol haha. You will gradually see improvement in several different areas if you have the right products for your skin. First you will see improvement in moisturization (matter of days) and skin barrier health. Then you will see a brighter complexion as the chemical acids kick in (days to weeks). Then lastly, it takes a bit longer to see dark spots and fine lines fade which happens over the course of closer to 6 months.
I love, love La Roche-Posay products. My sensitive, 64-yr-old, combination skin has never looked--and felt--better. The La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser is my particular favorite.
The best derma channel on TH-cam. I hope you have more followers !
Hi Doc, I'm 70 and live in Australia. Years of being in the sun have done the damage to the extent that I have had skin cancers removed from my arms and face. My issue of course now is very dry skin especially on my legs. I have never worn make-up so the need to remove is not a concern. I'm super careful now being in the sun. I have droopy crepey skin. I'm on an aged pension so it's imperative that cost is my first concern. All I use to wash my face and body is "Goat soap" It's supposed to be pure. I know it doesn't have sulphates or parabens. I use E45 cream, ingredients are white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin and wool fat. Because I live in Perth Western Australia I'm reluctant to use moisturizers every day as they make me hotter. Unfortunately also we pay a great deal more for products in Australia. Can you enlighten me if I'm doing the wrong thing using the above products and the best collagen product to help build some strength in my skin. Thanks Rosemary
Make sure you are following up closely with a dermatologist given your history of skin cancer! Your dermatologist should be able to give you specific advice for your unique skin condition and skin type to set you up with a personalized and effective routine. In general, one of my favorite and most effective products to build collagen in the skin is a retinoid. This comes in a prescription and over the counter forms. Ask your dermatologist which is right for you! I mentioned some of the drugstore retinoids I love in this video and linked them in the comments. Check them out! Good luck!
Thank you! The 4 pillar explanation makes sense in layman's terms and uses budget friendly products. A derm doc for the rest of us!!!
Im 62. The Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Tinted Face Mineral Lotion dries my skin out. The others are a great selection. I've tried most of them.
I am totally sold on Neutrogena. About 2 years ago, I decided to spend a little more than I usually do on skin care products. I bought 3 different Neutrogena products. A sunscreen, a night time lotion, and a day time lotion, or 'cream', if you prefer. I honestly thought, 'I doubt this will make much of a difference." Here to tell you, I am amazed. Their products work really well.
Finally a routine I can follow!! At 43 I really can tell the difference in my skin. So I will be trying this routine starting today!! Can't wait to follow up with results next month!! Thank you Dr. for your advise!
How’s it going with the routine?
Living for the day when you blow up big on TH-cam and have 1 millions subs 🖤
Yes! That would be crazy haha. Thanks for following along!
Omg Dr. Locke you rock!! Such an awesome video! Thank you for all the info you just made the drugstore trip so much less confusing
Yay thats my goal! Thanks for watching :)
I use CeraVe Oil Cleanser and it’s brilliant 🤩 so gentle and removes every bit of makeup, leaving skin clean and hydrated. I struggle with sensitive skin and I’ve had Perioral Dermatitis in the past, so I’m verrrry careful with what I introduce to my skin care routine.
I also use La Roche Posay Toleriane Cream, another very gently yet effective product. For SPF I use foundation every day, and it has a built in sun factor protection.
U got me glued to ur videos today. I really love ur videos cause they are more educative and helpful. Please what type of retinol is safe for sensitive skin. Thanks
Can you make a video on what makeup products you recommend?
Please
Stumbled upon this channel for the first time and I can’t thank you enough for the first part of this video. There’s a million products out there that are marketed as absolutely urgently necessary for our skin so to see it explained so simply and clearly but in enough detail is truly amazing. Thank you so much ❤️ Subbed!
You had the best simplified skin care ever. Thank you for making this simple for us! I am not confused anymore ☺
Message 2 of 2: so from what I understand with the newest videos, the ideal morning routine now might be: 1- wash skin (ideally with a chemical wash to boost vitamine C), 2- vitamine C, 3- Vichy mineral 89, 4- moisturize, 5- sun protection. I understand that there is always new amazing product that come on the market, so I understand that it’s extremely difficult to always adjust the video, so I would totally understand if you don’t do it. Thanks again for everything you are doing :D
I ve tried L'Oréal eye freak and saw a significant difference after 3 days so thank you so much
Thank gosh for this video! I have looked for something like this and trying to understand 20 yr old influencers and I am 40 really trying to get my wrinkles and keep my skin good and my skin care on a budget
Glad it was helpful!
literally my new favorite channel. Subscribed! I was standing in a CVS the other day, in front hundreds of skincare products, overwhelmed and not even sure where to start. I picked something based on the cool packaging, (how I choose my wine too 😆), which is clearly not a good way of approaching skincare. Your channel changes everything!
Thanks so much! This is exactly my mission here - simplify skincare and give people easy steps to follow that give real results!
This is so exciting! I love that you keep it simple and budget friendly. Thank you! I'm making a list for the drugstore today. 😊
I have pretty good skin at 63, thanks mom and dad. I am also not delusional to believe in anti aging. I just want to take care of my skin. The problem is, when I find a skincare system I like, when I go to replenish my supply, the products are no longer available so I have to keep switching it up and hoping I find something that works for me.
Most of them don't help, they advertising their products. They don't care about us. " money baby money" thank you my dear may God prosper you in Every way 🙏 ❤
You are so great! Been binge-watching your videos. I’ve watched Dr. Dray for years and while I still love her a lot, you’re a little less rigid in what you think works. It opens up more options and that’s really helpful.
Thank you!! I am cheap with my skincare and I have very sensitive skin so a lot of these brands are already my go tos but I've felt so overwhelmed by all the options.
You are an excellent teacher, Dr. Locke! You explain things so well.
Thank you so much. I want myself. and my 18 year old daughter to try this. She has acne and I told her she will stay young forever.
I honestly think this is the best introduction video if you are just starting. Thank you very much 😊 Please post more
