Hello there from a new subscriber. I have watched couple of your videos and they are very easy to follow and informative 👌🏼Can I quickly fire 2 questions please: a- can I use the Buffet (peptides) same night as Lactic Acid , and b- same Buffet with Vitamin C? Do you even see a benefit in using a peptide both in the morning and evening routine? Thank you in advance, Catalina / UK PS: am the same age as you are since you mentioned it in one of your videos 😊 we shall leave the others guessing 😉
@@catalinarandle6420 I think you can use the two together, just leave enough time in between. I only use my peptides in the morning right now and don’t see a dramatic effect, but I Think my jawline looks firmer since regular use of the Copper Peptides + Buffet. An important detail at our age ;)
For me, I think that Niacinamide can be used with anything and is very unlikely to have any negative effects on the skin, but The Ordinary instructs not to use their niacinamide with vitamin C so I listen to them. I still use antioxidants before sunscreen even though I know that the research behind them is iffy and I would tend to combine those because they are more likely to be effective when used together. I would think to mix azelaic acid and retinoids to help prevent any inflammation. And I also use a B5 gel morning and night which is probably mainly a humectant
There is absolutely no harm in mixing Niacinamide and Vitamin C, the data that suggested that is very old and has since been challenged multiple times. Niacinamide is one of my favorite ingredients and I pair it with everything too, especially with my retinoids, as it helps the skin tolerate them better. In short, I agree with you in every point.
Yes. B3 (Niacinamide) better NOT to apply after ANY direct acid with low ph. If vit C is water soluble it will have low ph, so better not to apply B3 after it. Because there is z risk that Niacinamide can convert itself I low ph environment in another components which can provoke temporal reaction e.g. redness on skin.
Love your videos❤ Please do a skin care routine! There's so many good serums with different active ingredients and I often don't know how to incorporate them in my routine.
I just did a skincare routine in December (I think), but I will do an updated one in March, promised. In regards to the serums, figure out which actives benefit your skin most and then built the routine around that, usually you don’t need more than three. If you are still lost then, I am always here to help.

Super groovy video you should do this one again.. I once mixed Retin- A with everclear and Benzamicin gel because i was so desperate to rid myself of acne that i got before a junior high dance it burned my whole face and turned it 🍅 red it was a nightmare!😢
@@foltz-art You do have to remember though that everyone can read what you write here, so while it may feel personal, it is very much exposed and public.
I've learned SO much about skincare from you! And I appreciate that you don't take a more is more approach to skincare. I doubt you have access to it in Germany, but I was wondering if you've heard of Veriphy skincare? I was using their serum for a while and I really enjoyed it.
I hadn´t heard of them, but looking at their website I really like their approach, especially the fact that they support (and are led by) Women in STEM - that is something really dear to my heart.
Hello Dr. Anne! Forgive me if you've done a video on this topic, but how do you feel about skin needling? Also, I use The Ordinary products and love them! I pair them like you're suggesting except that I am guilty of mixing the Vitamin C cream with Resveratrol serum in my palm. I also use Niacidamide, wait 15 minutes and then apply the Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane. Love their Hyaluronic moisturiser, Buffet with Copper Peptides, Caffeine (for under eye circles) and their various natural oils. Of course, a zinc oxide based sunscreen is a must too. Have to say my skin does not look my age, so something is working! Do you have a favourite sun screen that works well under make up? Also, do you recommend any particular neck and décolletage regimen? Thank you for your intelligent and informative videos!
I shared my current favorite sunscreens a few weeks ago, and all of them are working great under makeup. As for neck and décolletage, I am a firm believer of the "take it to the tits" rule, which means I use everything I apply to my face down my neck and right down to my nipples. One exception: my Tretinoin, which gives me horrible eczema on the chest if I do.
Doctor Anne if it normal skin that doesn’t have much problems healthy skin but I have one pimple going on at any place of the face at all times rest is always clear so blessed but anything to add to my skincare which can boost it more
At your age the most important things are Hydration (Glycerin or Hyaluronic Acid), an antioxidant (Vitamin C or Q10) and of course SPF. You could also try a Salicylic Acid product to spot treat the area where you get breakouts.
Hi, I would like to know when I should use my Buffay + Copper Peptides 1 % serum and when Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%? In the morning I use Vitamin C, Q10 serum, Hyaluronic Acid + CeraVe moisturizer. At night I use Treinoin, Matriyxl Synth 6, Collagen serum + sometimes a moisturizer on top. Thanks for your advice, I love your channel!
That is a lot of stuff you use. My suggestion would tbe to use the Lactic Acid instead of Tretinoin at night once a week and use the Buffet one in place of the Matrixyl one as both basically do the same thing. And while we are at it, I don´t think you need both the Q10 and a Vitamin C in the same routine.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you very much! I haven't realized that I use a lot of products and of course had no idea that Matrixyl and Buffet Copper is basically the same or that I don't need Vitamin C and Q10 at the same time. That is basically the problem if you are from another field and don't have the knowledge that you have. If you have the time could you please write your opinion on at-home microneedeling devices? I have one (ZGTS 1.00 mm) but am now not sure if I should use it at all. And if I would use it which serum should I apply afterwards?
@@aleksandranuc4911 Again, if it works for you, no harm done - you might be able to save some time and money though without compromising results. I have had a few questions about home microneedling devices lately, so I will film a video on that topic soon. But in short: I am not a fan and think these things belong into the hands of someone trained, for safety and for hygienic reasons. So: Microneedling yes, but not at home. But that is just my opinion right now, quite a few people have seen amazing results with it at home.
@@DoctorAnne I have never had any adverse reactions with skin needling at home. I bought the Lotus brand (from England) as there is a distributor here in Australia. I find that it does plump up my skin. You just have to not over do it. A bit of irritation is unavoidable, but you can't inflict too much. Of course, hygiene is key; you have to keep that roller sterilised and Lotus does provide a spray for that. (I also wash with mild soap and hot water and air dry.) I would love to hear your recommendations. Even if you suggest getting a professional to do the treatments, how often and what type of oil is best applied both before and after the treatments to maximise results and minimise/soothe the trauma?
@@DoctorAnne Don’t say that. 😌😘 men age the worst. They become bald and fat after a certain age but just because they are sperm machines, their delusional mind think that they don't age.
Hi. So I am 24 right now. I have large pores around my nose and fine lines near my eyes. I was planning to incorporate a peptide and retinol serum with 6:1 day ratio. But I am not sure if it's okay to use it with my ceramide+HA moisturiser because that's a lot of actives and even though I am sick of these pores, I am scares of making my skin irritated when it already is sensitive.
Ceramides and HA are fine to pair with everything, and peptides won't irritate your skin either. I don't understand if you want to use the peptides 6 nights and then the retinol for one night? That will not be irritating, but probably won't be having much effect either.
Thankyou ma'am!Are peptide products water based or emolient/oil based? Are azelaic acid products always suspensions? Or could they also be water based?. Pls teach me to differentiate suspensions frm water based frm ingredients list so that it could aid in layering.
That depends on your skin. If it is already used to the Tretinoin, it might work. If you only started with the prescription, it might trigger irritation.
Hi Doctor Anne I recently bought DR. DENNIS GROSS SKINCARE Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel which has AHA's and BHA's in the first step and retinol in the second step. Would I use cleanser, vitamin C and then moisturiser suncream in the morning and then at night cleanse, the above-mentioned peels, niacinamide, Hylorinic acid and then moisturiser at night. Should I use Rentinol on the nights I don't use the peel? Apologies for the long comment, the universal peels make me think I don't need too much extra to my skin routine?
I have not tried them myself, but it doesn´t sound like you need much else, the routine you described sounds pretty good. Once you figured out how often you want to use them in your routine, you can slowly start usig only retinol on the "nights off".
For acne is Retin-A or Adapalene better. I was prescribed Adapalene 0.3 by my dermatologist. I only just now did the research on the two and would like to know your opinion. (I do understand that Retin-A doesn’t take as many steps as Adapalene. I watched your video on it)
If it is solely acne that you are worried about, Adapalene is the treatment of choice. Not because it is "better" against acne, it is as effective as Retin-A, but because it has less side effects. If your skin tolerates it better, that means you can introduce it quicker and will actually keep using it, which again means you will see better results.I was on Adapalene for two years and only switched to Tretinoin because I am 41 and wanted to get more antiaging effect in - it is definitely more irritating.
Thanks for all the advise Dr Anne, a new fan from South Africa. I have been using vitamin c in the morning for about a year now and its been great for my skin. I started using Hyaluronic acid at night month go and would like to start using retinol (drug store kind), I would like to ask if it is okay to use the two together? Or perhaps use them on alternative nights. Thanks in advance.
Hi Sihle, could you please share which retinol are you using? Unfortunately, there is no too much option in SA drugstores :(. I am using the Avene Physiolift Nigh Balm with retinal as that was the only reasonable product I found.
@@agnesodri9870 Hi, I'm not using one as yet. I'm still looking. You can checkout Nutriherbs products, they have a retinol that is highly recommended by users. I'm currently using their Hyaluronic acid. You can get them on their website or takealot.
Hello Doctor Anne, Is it okay to use Glycolic Acid Toning Solution, Alpha Arbutin + HA, Niacinamide + Zinc and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) repectively because I use to work with this every single night. Btw, your channel is so amazing! No regrets to subscribe to your channel. Xoxo
I wouldn’t recommend using an Acid exfoliant every single night, that has the potential to irritate the skin in the long run, but other than that it should be fine. Maybe switch the Vitamin C to your morning routine and see if you could instead start a retinoid at night?
I use a vitamin C serum in the morning, and am currently trying out the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ (with salicylic acid and ninicinimide) Is the Vit C serum cancelling out the SA properties in the moisturizer?
Hi I know your now super busy with life. But when you get the chance can you do a video on the types of skin care depending on your race. If that’s a thing? Outside of skin type like dry oily etc... it’s just that I have Africa brown skin and when I look at my family and friends it’s clear to see we don’t age the same as those with less melanin. So if this is fact ? What type of skin care routine would suit me in general
While it might be true that there is a difference in skin types depending on race, I do not know enough about that topic to do a whole video on it, and to my knowledge there is not a lot of reasearch on that. I am sorry I couldn´t be of more help.
I know I’m a year late but I’ve seen some brilliant black skincare professionals on TH-cam. Maybe you’ve already found some otherwise they are there to advice you thoroughly. Good luck out there.
The next videos will go in more detail for retinoids and for Vitamin C. Anything else you would want more details on? I can film as many sequels as necessary 😄
@@Niki-81811 I think the next videos will answer these questions, I go through retinoids and different actives in one video and Vitamin C and different actives in the other. Should you still need more specifics afterwards, just drop me a line!
I must start by saying that I have not tried Muti skincare myself, so I can only talk about them in theory, it might be that I would come to a different conclusion after trying their products.After looking at their products and ingredient lists on the website, I don´t really think they use that many essential oils, at least not compared to brands like Elemis, and they have products that contain no essential oils at all. I am not against essential oils and fragrance in general, I think it is fine to use for many people, but essential oils have a high potential for allergic reactions in some. If you want them in your routine or not is a personal decision, they usually have no skincare benefits other than aromatherapy.What makes me hesitant to buy the brand though is that I think they are pretty expensive for what they sell: Their hydrating serum for example is a (nice) blend of humectants, but I can get that for 7 € at The Inkey List, while they charge 70 €. Again, the texture may be marvelous, I can´t tell, but that seems to be a little much.And the Retinol and Vitamin C they advertise on their website are Retinylpalmitate and a Vitamin C Ester, both far less effective than actual Retinol and Ascorbic Acid, so I wouldn´t be willing to shell out a lot of money on these either.Have you tried them? How did you like them?
Doctor Anne yes, I bought day anti- aging cream- honestly I do not like texture- too thick for me on daytime and I think for price - not so ok... and I ask some clarifications from brand on product they never come back to me. I do not like such communication style- no more Muti ffor me:)
@@sipoli100 Where are you from that you even considered Muti? I haven´t seen the brand around much on social media, I would love to know how you discovered them.
Doctor Anne I live in Germany because of my work/ and I desperetly needed some good moisturoizer- natural/ eco friendly as per preference no parfum.. so I discover them- and they were as well in Sephora... in reality there are quite a lot german brands around- I was quite suprised - like dr. DR. SUSANNE VON SCHMIEDEBERG- never heard of her before - but she has huge line and of course famous ones Dr. Barbara Sturm and augustinus bader and than a lot pharmatucial skin care as well . So in germany skin care are top noch
@@sipoli100 German skincare is top notch, but neither Dr. Barbara Sturm not Dr. von Schmiedeberg are the ones that I would recommend. Have you looked at Alverde at DM? They do have nice stuff. Where in Germany do you live?

I know I’m a year late but I’ve seen some brilliant black skincare professionals on TH-cam. Maybe you’ve already found some otherwise they are there to advice you thoroughly. Good luck out there.
Thank you Dr. Anne.
I was waiting for this video🙂
I hope it didn’t disappoint! Part two and three are coming in the next two weeks.
@@DoctorAnne absolutely not. It was informative. Im waiting for the continuation :) probably in more details?
Thank you
The next videos will go in more detail for retinoids and for Vitamin C. Anything else you would want more details on? I can film as many sequels as necessary 😄
@@DoctorAnne sure that's awesome....
Maybe you could include the mix of some actives with vit c & retinols.
Thanks so much🤗
@@Niki-81811 I think the next videos will answer these questions, I go through retinoids and different actives in one video and Vitamin C and different actives in the other. Should you still need more specifics afterwards, just drop me a line!
I use tretinoin in my night time routine after the ordinary Buffet and Niacinamide, do you think I should use my tretinoin first or after the 2 serums
If it works for you that way, keep doing it. Using it first will increase the effects, but also the risk of irritation.
Can i use aha bha for cleaning and toner and niacinamide as moisturizer?
Yes, you can. To get that right: You want to use an AHA cleanser, a BHA toner and then a Niacinamide moisturizer?
@@DoctorAnne yes in that order
That sounds like a lot of exfoliation to me, especially when using it daily, but yes, it would work.
Peptides canNOT be combined with low ph acids
That is why I say that you should wait in between products and not mix them in your hand. Your skin in itself has a slightly acidic pH.
🔝🔝Super Video
Dear Doctor- what you think about german brand Muti? Do you think that they use so much essential oils in their creams is ok?
I must start by saying that I have not tried Muti skincare myself, so I can only talk about them in theory, it might be that I would come to a different conclusion after trying their products.After looking at their products and ingredient lists on the website, I don´t really think they use that many essential oils, at least not compared to brands like Elemis, and they have products that contain no essential oils at all. I am not against essential oils and fragrance in general, I think it is fine to use for many people, but essential oils have a high potential for allergic reactions in some. If you want them in your routine or not is a personal decision, they usually have no skincare benefits other than aromatherapy.What makes me hesitant to buy the brand though is that I think they are pretty expensive for what they sell: Their hydrating serum for example is a (nice) blend of humectants, but I can get that for 7 € at The Inkey List, while they charge 70 €. Again, the texture may be marvelous, I can´t tell, but that seems to be a little much.And the Retinol and Vitamin C they advertise on their website are Retinylpalmitate and a Vitamin C Ester, both far less effective than actual Retinol and Ascorbic Acid, so I wouldn´t be willing to shell out a lot of money on these either.Have you tried them? How did you like them?
Doctor Anne yes, I bought day anti- aging cream- honestly I do not like texture- too thick for me on daytime and I think for price - not so ok... and I ask some clarifications from brand on product they never come back to me. I do not like such communication style- no more Muti ffor me:)
@@sipoli100 Where are you from that you even considered Muti? I haven´t seen the brand around much on social media, I would love to know how you discovered them.
Doctor Anne I live in Germany because of my work/ and I desperetly needed some good moisturoizer- natural/ eco friendly as per preference no parfum.. so I discover them- and they were as well in Sephora... in reality there are quite a lot german brands around- I was quite suprised - like dr. DR. SUSANNE VON SCHMIEDEBERG- never heard of her before - but she has huge line and of course famous ones Dr. Barbara Sturm and augustinus bader and than a lot pharmatucial skin care as well . So in germany skin care are top noch
@@sipoli100 German skincare is top notch, but neither Dr. Barbara Sturm not Dr. von Schmiedeberg are the ones that I would recommend. Have you looked at Alverde at DM? They do have nice stuff. Where in Germany do you live?
