Dr. Dray--thank you for not pushing the most expensive products on the market. Since becoming a follower, my skin has improved immensely and I have not spent an excessive amount of money. You have 2.11M subscribers for a reason and I’m sure it’s because of your no non-sense approach to healthy skin care.
Hi! Please make a video on how to treat blisters scar on facial skin. I was curling my hair the other day with my curling iron and I accidentally lost grip and it touched my nose and formed a blisters. It's 2 weeks now the blister is cured but it left a dark mark behind that area. I tried to find the solution on TH-cam but there was no video on this . Please help me out 🤧
I love that she is not here for the followers. Every time I have went to the doctors they have also recommended things I can buy at drugstore. She’s really here to help us! My skin has completely changed because of Dr. Dray.
I love that this list is focused on function and performance of the products. No frills or shills, no fancy packaging or scents, just plain old "does it work or not??". Thank you !
If it’s not Dr. Dray approved. I don’t use it! Gold bond is the brand of the year. The retional,pure moisture are my holy grails! Thanks Dr. Dray for pointing out affordable skin care that is just as good. ❤
I was spending a fortune on expensive skincare and not really seeing results, then I found you and you helped me find skincare that actually works for me that does not break that bank!
I LOVE using the Cerave cleanser to wash makeup and tinted sunscreen off my hands after applying. It works so well and doesn’t strip my sensitive skin (plus I have eczema).
Im not sure if its where I have not watched you in a long time but ive noticed you seem to be wearing more makeup than you seem to used to when I used to watch you. Thats nice! You are beautiful with or without it.
I have been using the Gold Bond retinol lotion and the Cerave cleansing oil since you first mentioned them. I love them both. A few weeks ago I bought a big tub of petroleum jelly and have been alternating that with the Gold Bond. A few days ago I took a tumble on concrete and got a nasty, deep scrape on my knee. I've been keeping a thin layer of petroleum jelly on it and it's already healing and barely sore! Thanks, Dr Dray, for all you've done for my skin, by so freely sharing your knowledge. You're awesome!! Happy Friday. I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a lovely weekend. 🎄💞🎄
STOP. I was so mad at Neutrogena for discontinuing some sort of "sensitive" or "non comedogenic" moisturizer that was a go-to for me that my skin loved, and that my skin has been off balance without ever since I ran out of my last bottle following the discontinuation. You have just made my day at even the possibility that the Up&Up/vaseline extra repair lotion is similar/reminiscent... I'm so excited to look for this now!!! Thanks Dr Dray.
AmLactin for my arms and Urea on my feet were the two best tips I received from YOU in 2023. An honorable mention for petrolatum. Thanks for keeping your channel real.
Agree with your choices! I would like to request a future topic. I have been concerned about what seems to be a trend with preteen girls thinking that they need pretty aggressive and expensive skincare. My 10 year old granddaughter requested some Glow Recipe products and my friend’s granddaughter of the same age has requested those and some Drunk Elephant items. I have suggested to mine that a cleanser and sun protection should be sufficient at this point, especially if the the sun screen is moisturizing. So far she has not had blemishes.
I found the retinol GB because of you this year and I was and am shook! Not only do I have crazy dry skin, I also have psoriasis AND full body, bright red, kp. This stuff helps with it all! I actually have patches of skin that doesn’t have kp anymore, and where I still have it, it’s not so red and is smoother. I am hoping with continued use in the coming months to knock most of it out! As for my psoriasis, it doesn’t burn it, and helps keep it in check, especially since I am forever forgetting to put on my prescription for it. 😂 I also notice my skin just looks healthy and bright, not dry and itchy. I have never gone through a winter without bloody cracks on my hands, but so far this year my hands have that healthy summer skin feel. Not a crack to be seen. As well as all the actual benefits, it also feels great, doesn’t leave you feeling greasy. Sinks in fast, and leaves skin feeling baby soft! I could wax poetic all day!!!! 😍😍
Ooh nice to hear it works for kp. I've been using eucerin advanced repair and it has atleast improved the texture for kp. Should try this out. Does this cause purging and irritation?
@@IllonoD-nz7wk I have not experienced any purging in the acne sense. But, I never get pimples so I may not be the best judge for that one. It didn't cause me any irritation (I use it on my face too). I do have allergies to some skincare ingredients, and for me this is ok. But of course, your milage may very. But, I would highly recommend giving it a shot! I started with the smaller squeeze bottle size, and before I finished it, I went to walmart to get the larger pump bottle. :)
@valeries3392 ooh thanks! Purging in the sense I was talking more about the irritation and intense peeling in the beginning. I have dry skin so I am not acne prone in general as well! Nice to know it doesn't cause any irritation
I found the absolute BEST hand moisturizer! Its the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. There are fragrance free and scented versions. Its makes my hands feel sooo soft and it lasts a long time!
Not only do I appreciate that Dr. Dray is a brilliant doctor but I love to listen to someone who uses proper English and pronunciation. Keeps it real as well. Best info on this subject. Thank you!
So happy I found the Gold Bond Retinol Lotion through you! Been using it almost everyday for months now and not only is my skin smooth and soft all the time, but it has helped fade some super stubborn hyperpigmentation on my shoulders and upper back from bacne that I dealt with for a long time. Seriously awesome lotion. Thanks Dr. Dray!❤
On a side note in case you haven't been to Dollar Tree lately, b pure has come out with a line of neutragena dupes. I haven't found them all yet but I did try a hydrating lip mask in a squeeze tube. It's very good! My daughter got a crack in her bottom lip that was very painful and this healed it up in 2 days!
I'm a serial product hopper in recovery and between your videos and the Welsh twins, I have finally gotten my acne and redness under control, without spending hundreds of dollars. Thank you!
If your sleeping on the Cerve baby products they are awesome! The baby wash is tear free so I can get really good around my eyes. The baby lotion is a consistency between the lotion and the cream. Adding these to my routine has been a game changer
I am so proud of myelf for hand picking the target advanced repair body lotion using my Dr. Dray acquired knowledge earlier this year! I do love it and it's great to see it is DD approved.! Can't wait to pick up the Cerave face wash at the beginning because wiping off a cream cleanser before face wash can be cumbersome for me. Happy new year Dr. Dray ! xo!
This was fun! I was looking at a handful of your original "newbie" videos there doc and you've really gotten comfortable and into your groove with your blog. You've really relaxed and you wear that well Dr. Drea. I say "fun" because you were playful and organized while presenting the Best Skin Care Of 2023. Your my #1 channel and I am thankful to God daily for the positivity & clarity you bring to this world and to me as a viewer. Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday's Dr. Drea. :) 🎄
I just bought my 3rd bottle of the Gold Bond Retinol Overnight !! LOVE !! I would have never looked at anything from Gold Bond.. the strong scent was a no go. But THIS ! Fabulous! Speaking of drug store , I also bought Cera-Ve Encapsulated Retinol serum= it jumped up to 29.00 $ !!!
The Gold Bond retinol is the best. I need to repurchase it after I finish the Advanced Clinicals retinol cream (this one is ok, but does not compare to GB)
Happy Friday!! Yes! I love that Cerave hydrating foaming oil cleanser! My all in one double cleanse because I don’t wear heavy makeup. Also love that Gold bond retinol lotion for the body as well! Thanks for the recs
Thank you for reviewing and recommending the Tree Hut shave oil and the Gold Bond retinol body cream...love them both! Now I need to try the CeraVe oil cleanser! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Ive only tried the gold bond Retinol and yes, pure LOVE for it. It’s the perfect product for after shower application at night. Ive used Versed and Naturium, but for the price, no comparison.
Treehut sugar scrub, Treehut shaving oil, and then using my Leaf razor. I've never had a better shaving experience! No build-up in my razor, no razorburn, no strawberry legs after. I finish by moisturizing with regular Aveno. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Love the vaseline advance repair lotion so affordable and practical with the pump. I use from head to toe during winter season and I've seen difference. I don't get red cheeks from the harsh cold winter winds and great for my hands after every wash. I loved the best skincare of 2023 every product has its uniqueness 😊❤. Excellent choices Doctor Andrea as always😇🙏👍💖.
I tried Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol after your first video mentioning this product and I've been loving it ever since. All my girl friends got this as Christmas gifts
So many good products here! I discovered the Gold Bond retinol this year thanks to you. And I love that Up and Up lotion. Also started using the CeraVe oil cleanser this year thanks to you. I also want to give a shout out to the Gold Bond pure lotion which you recommended last year, which I'm still using. I love it on my face as a last step in my skin care right before bed. Sending you love from vacation in Barcelona! 🩷🩷💃💃🎉🎉
So many of the products you featured here and throughout the year have made their way into my routine because they're so good. Especially the Gold Bond Retinol products. I love them! Merry Christmas to you, have a nice holiday!
That Gold Bond Retinol is my favorite lotion. My mom was complaining about her dry skin, so I bought the GB for her. She loves it too. Thank you for helping us take care of our skin! ❤
@@silviarahim90 :) I wash my hands all day, so, most of the time, I’m applying it to my hands. I also like it on my feet, neck, and chest. About twice a week, I’ll apply it to my body immediately after a shower.
Is this only available in the US? I’m in Canada & can only find something similar but it does not contain retinols and is marketed for use on the body only.
I use the watermelon sugar scrub on my legs and arms and it is wonderful - not harsh at all. Gently exfoliates without any irritation or redness. It’s almost like the sugar is rounded and easily dissolved. Love it and the smell is delightfully delicious! Mild too.
The CeraVe Cleanser and Gold Bond retinol lotion are definitely two of my faves this year too, I started using them based on Your recommendation. ❤ The only sad thing is that I can't really put on the lotion right after shower as I experienced some itching, which makes sense since retinols can be sensitizing when applied on damp skin. So I just have to make sure my skin dries off completely before I apply it. Otherwise it's a brilliant product. Thank You and Merry Merry Christmas to everyone here. ❤
she genuinely reviews products for the people not for the money. We need more modest influencers out there. Influence for the good not for the corporations
I thought i was buying an aquaphor dupe at dollar tree, the Creamy Petroleum Jelly, but it's a dupe for Vaseline Deep Moisture. Not the most elegant formula, but got me thru my recent reset. Performed equal to or better than Ole Henricksen barrier repair. Also, The gold bond crepe corrector (loaded with urea, dimethicone, & petrolatum) is another great product for deep, deep hydration and occlusion. My winters are cold, dry, verrrry windy, and last 5-7 months. Ive been very pleased with how well my skin is retaining internal moisture, using this post-reset. And, if you too get ouchy skin, learn from me: Exfoliation is not a daily task and eye makeup cannot be reapplied indefinitely without tearing the skin ...
Gold Bond rocks! I'm so late to the party. I also use their neck and chest cream. Get it! I promise I walk around wanting to suggest it to people in the summer months. Since it's considered rude, I carry on in silence
Thank you for the Up & Up moisturizer recommendation! I've always had skin on the sensitive side but I've gotten more sensitive as I've gotten older. Recently my under eyes especially can't tolerate any of my usual products anymore and I could only use vaseline. I picked up the Up & Up moisturizer and even my under eyes do just fine with it. I feel like SO many products these days are trying to load up on fancy ingredients so its nice to find something that's very basic for us sensitive skin folks.
I'm SUPER sensitive to the products I use. i can tell instantly if my skin doesn't like something. so many expensive items thrown away after using it a few times. but the Cerave Oil Cleanser has been AMAZING for me - I started using it a few months ago and it's my go-to facewash now. It's made my skin (dry, flaky skin w/ big pores) considerably better and works wonderfully with tretinoin in that it has considerably reduced the crazy bad flaking i used to get around my chin each time I used tretinoin
Happy Friday Dr Dray and everyone ! Love this video . I all really enjoying The Gold Bond Pure moisture face and body . I started using adapalene and wanted a moisturizer with no actives or exotic ingredients !!!! This is great . Have a wonderful day Love to mom and TYbee xoxoxo
Hi Mary Ann! Happy Friday!! I hope you had a great day. Just in case I don't see you in the comments this weekend, I want to wish you a blessed and very Merry Christmas, my friend. 🎄❤🎄
I LOVE the feel of the Kroger sunscreen, it feels like a lightweight mouse. Sadly though, it stings and burns my eyes so badly. I still make it work by using a different sunscreen (Neutrogena) around my eyes and then the Kroger one for the rest of my face and neck. But that means that this is not my "on-the-run-go-to" sunscreen, because I don't want to bring 2 sunscreen with me wherever I go.
If I use the Goldbond Retinol on my face at night, is it necessary to put another moisturizer over it? I currently have Vanicream facial moisturizer. Would that be too much to put both on my face each night? Thanks!!
When covid reopened in early 2022 and I was so been busy working on my schedules and keepings, this is one place on earth 🌎 I'll come back 💯💯💯 when I can own the time of self care! Dr Dray, you have saved so many skins here! You're not just a person or a doctor, you're a lot of people's saviour to good skin health! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍😍 Wishing you best of health in 2024! Warmest Regards, Charlene Toh from Singapore!! ❤🇸🇬
I tried the Tree Hut shave oil on a whim.....OMG...it leaves my skin fabulously smooth and soft after shaving! My skin on my legs was still moust the next day! This was a great find for me. I am going to try the Up & Up brand moisturizer this time. Thanks for your recommendations and the research behind them! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thank you for helping introduce me to the shave oil (I fell in love with the scent and have everything Tree Hut in watermelon), the Korean sunscreens and Gold Bond products especially. I'm in awe of the transformation a little time every day, commitment and these affordable products have made for my skin. 🎉
I felt the same. Only not to that extent, just felt more dry and tight. I watched her video on how much product you actually need and I started using her recommendation and I found out I was using way too much. Now my skin feels hydrated. I use it as a second step. I like to double cleanse.
Me too. It made my face SO red and sensitive that I couldn't use anything on it besides petroleum jelly for a week. Then I used it once more to make sure and yep. It was definitely this product.
@@kasispivey8698 I'm so glad I read the comments. I was wondering about this cleanser since it says it's for Dry skin. You would think it would be suitable for "sensitive" skin types. Even though I don't have dry skin, my skin is very sensitive. I need a gentle cleanser that won't cause further dryness and irritation. One that's been working well for me is the Aveeno Calm and Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser. Please let me know if you've tried any good ones. I don't like cleansers that leave a film on your skin. Thank you!
@@michellekelly2937 I LOVE the Aveeno Calm and Restore cleanser! It's my favorite but I also like the newer version of Neutrogena Hydroboost (the gel cleanser, not the milk) and of course the super gentle Cetaphil is always a good one. I tend to use that one more in the summer when I wash both a.m. and p.m. I've heard great things about Vanicream, but I haven't tried that one yet. I couldn't agree more about the cleansers that leave a film. I'm washing my face to not have that feeling! :)
I’ve been using my original Aveeno fragrance free body lotion over every inch of my body including my face and I’m loving it. It’s lightweight but very moisturizing. It’s my go-to in the winter especially.
Happy holidays Dr. Dray🎄 I had been hunting down that Tree Hut shaving oil for months at Walmart and Target and finally found one bottle at Walmart the other day. It was rose scent but I didn’t care I was so excited 😊 Also been loving the GB retinol since July. My face and body love that stuff and for the $$ it feels lux. Thank you for all of your amazing recommendations this year. My skin doesn’t know where it would be without out you❤
Love the Kroger Shimmer sunscreen. Thanks for the recommendation! I need to try the rest. I like the Banana Boat lip balm. I work outdoors and definitely need it. I gave it out as Christmas gifts!
Thank you for the great videos - information - you’ve given me confidence with skin care and products - breaking things down so we can make decisions on fact based information vs. marketing. Happy holidays!
Great video! Could you do another 2023 favorites with high end products? I never had a problem spending more money in skin care. I think its worth it ❤️
Hope you had a wonderful holiday and wishing you and your family ( your mom always enjoyed ) a prosperous and joy filled year. Just to remind you I am so grateful for all you do for us here and what I have learned. Thanks it’s been a busy holiday as had house guest ..
I have been using Monsia products for a long time, they have been the only ones that have helped me with my dryness problems, leaving my skin soft and hydrated 🙂
This cerave cleanser has been on the market here since a while, not bad, but for me the Uriage oil cleanser is better. Doesn’t hurt my eyes when I get my eye makeup off, but it’s very similar to the cerave.
Merry Christmas everyone I tires the Gold Bond retinol body cream and appeared to have a reaction to it I applied it to my arms and neck areas. I used it at night after showering and before going to bed I began to itch. I stopped using it and have not had issues since discontinuing this product I was hopeful with this cream. 🥺😢
Wow! I am surprised you liked the Tree Hut! I bought it after your video and it is so highly fragranced. I used it this morning to shave and ended up having the most irritated itchy legs! It was clearly the Tree Hut as I usually use fragrance free washes, etc.
I love the cerave oil cleanser!! I also have used the Gold Bond retinol lotion. I know it’s unscented, but I don’t like the scent😂😂😂 it also is kinda thick and doesn’t spread a ton so I add a little bit of a body oil to it so it goes further and smells good

I’m gonna try it

@@masza6043 Not everybody is against L'oréal, you know? I love many of their products.
@@masza6043 you mean from the containers?
Cerave does sell cleansers in bar form. No plastic bottles or microplastics.

Is this only available in the US? I’m in Canada & can only find something similar but it does not contain retinols and is marketed for use on the body only.
I've been using Gold Bond since you first talked about it! Great product!
16:15 I love the gold bond body retinol
I just started a spray retinol body serum & am excited about it though
I LOVE Kroger's Shimmer Sunscreen, and I also love the Gold Bond Age Renewal.
I have repurchased both items many times for myself and others.
Thank you for explaining the ingredients so well!
I use the watermelon sugar scrub on my legs and arms and it is wonderful - not harsh at all. Gently exfoliates without any irritation or redness. It’s almost like the sugar is rounded and easily dissolved. Love it and the smell is delightfully delicious! Mild too.
I really love the Tree Hut shave oil too! I have the Tropical Glow and it smells so good!
The CeraVe Cleanser and Gold Bond retinol lotion are definitely two of my faves this year too, I started using them based on Your recommendation. ❤ The only sad thing is that I can't really put on the lotion right after shower as I experienced some itching, which makes sense since retinols can be sensitizing when applied on damp skin. So I just have to make sure my skin dries off completely before I apply it. Otherwise it's a brilliant product. Thank You and Merry Merry Christmas to everyone here. ❤
she genuinely reviews products for the people not for the money. We need more modest influencers out there. Influence for the good not for the corporations
I thought i was buying an aquaphor dupe at dollar tree, the Creamy Petroleum Jelly, but it's a dupe for Vaseline Deep Moisture. Not the most elegant formula, but got me thru my recent reset. Performed equal to or better than Ole Henricksen barrier repair. Also, The gold bond crepe corrector (loaded with urea, dimethicone, & petrolatum) is another great product for deep, deep hydration and occlusion. My winters are cold, dry, verrrry windy, and last 5-7 months. Ive been very pleased with how well my skin is retaining internal moisture, using this post-reset. And, if you too get ouchy skin, learn from me: Exfoliation is not a daily task and eye makeup cannot be reapplied indefinitely without tearing the skin ...
I didn’t like the shave oil but love everything else. The retinal gold bond is so good. My hands look younger.
Gold Bond rocks! I'm so late to the party. I also use their neck and chest cream. Get it! I promise I walk around wanting to suggest it to people in the summer months. Since it's considered rude, I carry on in silence
I am 100% planning to try the Gold Bond retinol for body, sounds great. Thank you
Thank you for the Up & Up moisturizer recommendation! I've always had skin on the sensitive side but I've gotten more sensitive as I've gotten older. Recently my under eyes especially can't tolerate any of my usual products anymore and I could only use vaseline. I picked up the Up & Up moisturizer and even my under eyes do just fine with it. I feel like SO many products these days are trying to load up on fancy ingredients so its nice to find something that's very basic for us sensitive skin folks.
I just found your channel. Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
All of the goldbon lotions in pumps are a game changer! The fact that they have a pump makes me use it so much more because it’s so easy to slather on
I'm SUPER sensitive to the products I use. i can tell instantly if my skin doesn't like something. so many expensive items thrown away after using it a few times. but the Cerave Oil Cleanser has been AMAZING for me - I started using it a few months ago and it's my go-to facewash now. It's made my skin (dry, flaky skin w/ big pores) considerably better and works wonderfully with tretinoin in that it has considerably reduced the crazy bad flaking i used to get around my chin each time I used tretinoin
Happy Friday Dr Dray and everyone ! Love this video . I all really enjoying The Gold Bond Pure moisture face and body . I started using adapalene and wanted a moisturizer with no actives or exotic ingredients !!!! This is great . Have a wonderful day Love to mom and TYbee xoxoxo
Happy Friday mary ann Gonzalez. Hope you're well and having a great day and hope you have a lovely holiday.
@@db-gb5xi Hi db have a great day and a wonderful holiday xoxoxo
Greetings Mary Ann Gonzalez hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Friday my friend ! xoxoxo
Hi Mary Ann! Happy Friday!! I hope you had a great day. Just in case I don't see you in the comments this weekend, I want to wish you a blessed and very Merry Christmas, my friend. 🎄❤🎄
I LOVE the feel of the Kroger sunscreen, it feels like a lightweight mouse. Sadly though, it stings and burns my eyes so badly. I still make it work by using a different sunscreen (Neutrogena) around my eyes and then the Kroger one for the rest of my face and neck. But that means that this is not my "on-the-run-go-to" sunscreen, because I don't want to bring 2 sunscreen with me wherever I go.
If I use the Goldbond Retinol on my face at night, is it necessary to put another moisturizer over it? I currently have Vanicream facial moisturizer. Would that be too much to put both on my face each night? Thanks!!
When covid reopened in early 2022 and I was so been busy working on my schedules and keepings, this is one place on earth 🌎 I'll come back 💯💯💯 when I can own the time of self care! Dr Dray, you have saved so many skins here! You're not just a person or a doctor, you're a lot of people's saviour to good skin health! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍😍 Wishing you best of health in 2024! Warmest Regards, Charlene Toh from Singapore!! ❤🇸🇬
thank you... went right to your videos to find face sunscreen options
I’ve been through an entire bottle of the Cerave cleanser already and I repurchased it. It does a good job of removing my makeup too. ✅
Dr Dray is perfect in every way!
I tried the Tree Hut shave oil on a whim.....OMG...it leaves my skin fabulously smooth and soft after shaving! My skin on my legs was still moust the next day! This was a great find for me. I am going to try the Up & Up brand moisturizer this time. Thanks for your recommendations and the research behind them! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
I use all but one of those products- thanks to you! Love them all, and I share them with others when I get compliments on my skin.
I have loved the tree hut oil for shaving for years! I prefer the tropic glow scent, it’s also a light fragrance. Thanks for sharing your top list!!❤
Thank you for helping introduce me to the shave oil (I fell in love with the scent and have everything Tree Hut in watermelon), the Korean sunscreens and Gold Bond products especially. I'm in awe of the transformation a little time every day, commitment and these affordable products have made for my skin. 🎉
I tried the Cerave foaming oil cleanser and it dried out my skin to the point that my regular moisturizer was burning. Same happened to my sister FYI.
I felt the same. Only not to that extent, just felt more dry and tight. I watched her video on how much product you actually need and I started using her recommendation and I found out I was using way too much. Now my skin feels hydrated. I use it as a second step. I like to double cleanse.
Me too. It made my face SO red and sensitive that I couldn't use anything on it besides petroleum jelly for a week. Then I used it once more to make sure and yep. It was definitely this product.
@@kasispivey8698 I'm so glad I read the comments. I was wondering about this cleanser since it says it's for Dry skin. You would think it would be suitable for "sensitive" skin types. Even though I don't have dry skin, my skin is very sensitive. I need a gentle cleanser that won't cause further dryness and irritation. One that's been working well for me is the Aveeno Calm and Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser. Please let me know if you've tried any good ones. I don't like cleansers that leave a film on your skin. Thank you!
@@michellekelly2937 I LOVE the Aveeno Calm and Restore cleanser! It's my favorite but I also like the newer version of Neutrogena Hydroboost (the gel cleanser, not the milk) and of course the super gentle Cetaphil is always a good one. I tend to use that one more in the summer when I wash both a.m. and p.m. I've heard great things about Vanicream, but I haven't tried that one yet. I couldn't agree more about the cleansers that leave a film. I'm washing my face to not have that feeling! :)
Thank You for all the great information. Can you review the reverse gray hair formulas like GR-7 and Spartan?
I’ve been using my original Aveeno fragrance free body lotion over every inch of my body including my face and I’m loving it. It’s lightweight but very moisturizing. It’s my go-to in the winter especially.
Sunblock help for harsh sunlight upcoming summer for my face I just used to be able to put on anything but not now 🙄🌞I look forward to seeing ❤
I’ve been SEARCHING for a replacement of the neutrogena moisturizer. Thank you Dr. Dray!
Happy holidays Dr. Dray🎄 I had been hunting down that Tree Hut shaving oil for months at Walmart and Target and finally found one bottle at Walmart the other day. It was rose scent but I didn’t care I was so excited 😊 Also been loving the GB retinol since July. My face and body love that stuff and for the $$ it feels lux. Thank you for all of your amazing recommendations this year. My skin doesn’t know where it would be without out you❤
Woo hoo Thank you! 💕💕Have an awesome day! 🎄
You too!!
I adore Kroger Sunscreen! My dry skin loves it!
Dr. Dray, can you talk about procapil for eyelash growth instead of lash serums? It’s in Rimmel lash accelerator mascara.
Love the Kroger Shimmer sunscreen. Thanks for the recommendation! I need to try the rest. I like the Banana Boat lip balm. I work outdoors and definitely need it. I gave it out as Christmas gifts!
Thank you for recommending the Gold Bond moisturizers. I love them so much!
Thank you for the great videos - information - you’ve given me confidence with skin care and products - breaking things down so we can make decisions on fact based information vs. marketing. Happy holidays!
thank you so much for these new recs! I’ve been looking to reset my skin care routine and this video came at the right time!
Cera Ve hydrating foaming cleanser, on my second bottle! Just started the Gold bond age renewal Retinol
Great video! Could you do another 2023 favorites with high end products? I never had a problem spending more money in skin care. I think its worth it ❤️
Hope you had a wonderful holiday and wishing you and your family ( your mom always enjoyed ) a prosperous and joy filled year. Just to remind you I am so grateful for all you do for us here and what I have learned. Thanks it’s been a busy holiday as had house guest ..
That gold bond lotion is the truth! I layer it over amlactin because I have kp.
Dr Dray is looking good!
I have been using Monsia products for a long time, they have been the only ones that have helped me with my dryness problems, leaving my skin soft and hydrated 🙂
This cerave cleanser has been on the market here since a while, not bad, but for me the Uriage oil cleanser is better. Doesn’t hurt my eyes when I get my eye makeup off, but it’s very similar to the cerave.
Merry Christmas everyone
I tires the Gold Bond retinol body cream and appeared to have a reaction to it
I applied it to my arms and neck areas. I used it at night after showering and before going to bed
I began to itch. I stopped using it and have not had issues since discontinuing this product
I was hopeful with this cream. 🥺😢
I had itching with it also. Have stopped using it for the past 6 days and itching gone. So disappointed😞
Me too! only on my neck and inside my elbow
The Tree Hut product is legit. I've been repurchasing for the last year. All the varieties I have tried work well so choose your favorite fragrance.
Thank you so much for the information! Merry Christmas to you and those you love! I love your white Christmas tree - so pretty!
Dr. Dray, great video. What do you think of using tallow on the face? Unscented of course. 😊
So helpful, “Thank you”!
That gold bond retinol body also wound up in another dermatologist channel's top products of the year.
Wow! I am surprised you liked the Tree Hut! I bought it after your video and it is so highly fragranced. I used it this morning to shave and ended up having the most irritated itchy legs! It was clearly the Tree Hut as I usually use fragrance free washes, etc.
I love that these are budget friendly. Thank you
I love the cerave oil cleanser!! I also have used the Gold Bond retinol lotion. I know it’s unscented, but I don’t like the scent😂😂😂 it also is kinda thick and doesn’t spread a ton so I add a little bit of a body oil to it so it goes further and smells good
Oh my. Still do love ALL my Biossance 😇
I love Tree Hut. The Candy Cane and Pumpkin Spice Latte are my favorites
I really like that sunscreen. It’s great under makeup.
Happy Friday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
