I try to avoid hydrolysis (breaking the peptide up in to it's amino acids) but I am not stressing on this and I don't think you should either, especially with relatively gentle acids like the Ordinary and/or the Medik8.

Do you wash off night time skin care at all before using the LED? Mine says to use with clean, dry skin, but so many of my products say that, and I hate letting my skin dry out.
It depends on the nighttime skincare- if I used something like an ointment (some heavy occlusive) I would wash before. But usually the skin is perfectly good with the leftover skincare from the night before 💙
Penny I just wanted to thank you for all of your skincare advice over the years. I've gotten into so many different things because of you, like microneedling, fulvic acid, copper peptides, growth factors, the Queen 7-in-1, etc. My skin really has never looked better and it wouldn't be the same without you. Your insight and your opinions are so valuable to me, sometimes I wish I had you on speed dial haha. I just hope you know how appreciated you are
I agree - wholeheartedly!! I have learned so much from you and love your style of sharing everything thoughtfully and clearly!! Thank you @penny so very much for helping all of us in such a positive way!! I have tuned my regimen many times to your great advice and product recommendations. I have yet to start any leds or the zipp but your video with melanie was so interesting! Thank you!
I just rewatched this video the other day and then went searching for phyosphingosine in my products other than drmtlgy needless serum-good old cerave moisturizing cream has it! Thanks Penny for passing along your knowledge to us!
In her video on ingredients that work better together, dr alexis stephens talks about moisturizers with cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides and the phytosphingosine. She recommends a few but the more affordable one would be the cerave skin renewal night cream and even the skinfix triple lipid (the original and not the gel). There's also a prescription cream as well.
LOVE the tip of mixing a lightweight hydrating toner with thicker stronger serums and've been doing it for years and years, but with the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner... the luxurious slippy-ness of it makes all my serums spread like a dream so I can use less and they last longer not to mention sink in deeper for better faster results... I make my husband do the same with their Mist Toner, the spray top of which I switched with the shake top of a used up Essence Toner so he can shake a few drops in with each step of his routine... game changer!
Appreciate all the information and really appreciate you saying if you can’t afford these, look for these ingredients. We all want great skin, but can’t always afford it, especially if there’s many steps and products. Thank you!
Thanks for yet another informative video, Penn!😊 I have a question: can you share your PM routine on the other 5 nights of the week (when not doing the 2- step routine)?? Thank you 🙏🏻
Woo I’m gonna need to watch this a couple times to get it right. 😂 I have a lot of the same products already, just need to map out a routine. I get overwhelmed with too many options, then get a bit of analysis paralysis.
Really just think of lowering or keeping the PH low and then replenishing with a moisturizer that has ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine (if you have one). That’s the main one two punch 💙💙💙
Hi Penny, I hope you see this! I was hoping you would consider a video on how to care for your skin post face lift, bleph, laser and other similar procedures. You shared your own surgery journey and I followed similar suit. I know I can't be the only one! I would value knowing good skin care protocol, when to restart actives and what devices to keep in the routine moving forward. Thank you in advance! Thank you for your devotion to skin care and education!
You use things so much more carefully. I use the DRMTLGY Needless and use a full dropper and douse it on! You are so right about your essence. I purchased it last fall and splash it on carelessly and it’s still half full. I absolutely love it. If you comment readers haven’t tried it yet, you are really missing out on a special experience!
When you cocktail the urea essence with the OneSkin, you could also spray the fulvic mineral solution into the cocktail to help drive everything further into the skin
I think that I ask this every time, but do you still use your droplette? I just did my cosmetic microneeding with my Reviv growth factors. I found you around two years ago. We are both the same age. The big difference between us is that I have very,very oily skin still. It does help with the wrinkles. I use the dermmelect self esteem serum since I received it in my Dermstore box one month. I so wish that I could afford the oneskin, but it is not in my budget. I finally took the plunge and ordered DRMTLGY. Oh, my goodness. I love everything I have purchased so far. Especially, the needless serum. I thank you for all the time and effort that you put in everyone of your videos. Thank you, and may God bless your family and you with all his love ❤️
I finally ordered the Dermelect Night serum and it’s in transit. Excited to get it, and I already have the DRMTLGY cream you use along with it. I’ve been using the Needle-Less Serum forever. I keep thinking I’ll go without because it’s pricey, but at this point, I’m afraid to stop. 🤷♀️ I just wait for a good sale and stock up. Thanks for sharing your routine with us ! Your skin looks so good with & without makeup ! ☺️💜☺️
Thank you so much! I understand about the Needleless... but it's just so good! I also wait until its on sale to stock up or just so you know you can always get 20% off at Drmtlgy with code Penn 🥰 there is no reason to ever pay full price if you don't have to!
Hi penny, you look absolutely marvellous in this purple top! Very interesting video / concept. I use a pha toner from inkey list, very affordable and great for sensitive skin. Thanks for your recommandations + routine! 🍒
I actually have the dermelect sleep serum already!! Yay! The problem I have is I switch products to frequently, so I have to really use consistent products for at least a month!
Good morning 🌞 Thank you, Penny ☺️ I just used your discount code and ordered Dermelect Sleep Serum. I already have the Recovery Cream.. I have a routine already but will skip it two nights a week to try this. Enjoy your journey in life and keep spreading your sunshine..🥰
I love the idea of the essence with One Skin. I use One Skin Face morning and evening so to make it last longer sounds great. Question: I've never heard of adding anything after moisturizer except sunscreen. Seems counterintuitive and wouldn't let the vitamin c to penetrate. Can you tell me more about that? Thank you!
I put my sukihada ( no idea how to spell it rn) into a old spray toner bottle an I love it! It is always my first step before eveeeeerything. Definitely helps make other more expensive serums spread, that way I can take it all the way down my neck an even started doing the girls! 😉 😂
Thanks for sharing this. I'm curious abt dermlct but undecided. I use 17%salicylic acid 1xwk & cais 3xwk & to salicylic acid or adapalene 3xwk. Thank you so, so much for being here for us !
Hi Penny - wonderful video, as always! I've read in multiple places that peptides should not be used with acids because the acids break the bonds in the peptides making them less effective. I've been keeping my acids in the am, then peptides in the PM with tret. Is there a resource with differing information? I'd love to be able to switch things around and use my peptides twice a day!
Great review of products. I also love the Tsukika tsuhada and use it in many steps of my skin care, and it always helps my fees retain moisture … (I also use the urea thick gel. Oh my God I love that stuff ). at 62 years old
***Penny ****I have been using Mary&May - Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Intensive Total Care Cream - 70g for only 14 dollars and it has the ingredient you mentioned 5 kinds of Ceramides and Phytosphingosine this is amazing and affordable
I went digging through my products and found that my Dermelect Redness Rehab Soothing Cream has the Phytosphingosine in it!! I’ll make sure to be consistent now with that and the Dermelect night serum that I’ve also started using a few weeks ago!!!
That is such an awesome product! The only issue I have is packaging- I wish it didn’t get messy. But that’s really being nit picky for an otherwise stellar product 😍
Oh, I have all this stuff that you are using so I will try this technique! Haha and the Sukiada water I’m on my fourth bottle. I love that stuff I think it’s the best. Anything I put on my face it just helps it a little more.
Hi Penny- I too would like an alternate to the One Skin Face product. I feel like I have an overabundance of products on the shelf already (thank you by the way!!) and am hoping you can recommend another option. I have the Revive Growth Serum- love!. I have the M4, and I also have Lifeline moisture complex. Hoping for one of these to be a good fill in. Thanks!
I would say your reviv would be an amazing alternative to OneSkin- it is lighter weight but it is packed with TONS of goodness. I also think it would cocktail nicely with the Sukoyaka Suhada 😊😊💙
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Perfect- thats what I've been doing the past 2 days.....I want to bathe in the Sukoyaka!! Do you do any virtual private consultations? If so, please let me know the process. Have an amazing day!!
Oh, great, now I feel bad. It's all about the Zip Halo now after I went and bought the zip GX. Because you loved it so much... Really dries me out no matter how much. I moisturize and I do everything right? I'm an estimation
The GX is really great- and honestly very little changed with the halo. You are using their conductivity products and they’re drying you out? Are you washing after? You should watch my halo video and my video with Melanie (founder of ziip and incredible esthetician) then you wouldn’t feel bad about your GX! It’s an awesome device 💙
Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful. Do have a couple budget options that you like for polyhydroxy acids? This heat wave is so real! 😆 thanks again from Reno!
Penny thank you for all your knowledge. I just started watching your channel & have 1 question, why do you put your moisturizer on in AM before your serums (azaleic acid, Needle-less serum) on top of the OneSkin??
Thank you for this, Penny!! I’m 60 and very pleased with how my skin is looking, much thanks to you. Need to use micro-current to lift my face. Curious if you’re still using your Droplette? Love ya! 💕
I do use the droplette-but honestly it is hit and miss. I really only use the collagen capsules (those have always been my favorites) and when I do remember to use it I am SO happy with my skin. I probably remember 2 times a week (because once I have done anything else it's too late....I always want to do the droplette first...So i will do (for example) my oneskin/essence step and THEN remember the Droplette and it's too late!!). That said, it is one of the BEST pick me ups ever- the collagen capsule I mean :)
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you for this reply!! I will keep it in mind for the collagen capsules. And I guess since the Ziip “pushes” skincare in, that is a one-two punch that may make the Droplette less necessary. But still, I get that they provide different services for the skin/facial muscles. The Droplette can deliver things that the Ziip can’t. I am so intrigued by all of this and how we actually have the power to make so much difference with our skin and bodies.💖
Hey Penn can you please do a video about skincare for those on accutane and in general, about mini doses of accutane for ageing,i think it's very interesting. I saw a video by one dermatologist and she was suggesting to consider accutane once weekly as she have seen amazing results for her patients over time
Hi Penny, I wanted to know when you're getting Retin-A in? I was told NOT to use with Vitamin C...is that true, and where do I put the Retin-A in my routine? Thank you for telling us about this wonderful skincare. I need the ZIP for sure. I already have the red light therapy. ❤ This is incredibly great information and extremely thorough as usual...But the Retin-A??? Please and thank you.
Thank you for always recommending the BEST products! I just ordered the sleep serum. I’ve been using Sunday Riley Good Genes and Dennis Gross alternately & can really see how the acid exfoliation is key in a a good skincare routine! I’ll replace these products temporarily with the sleep serum step. Will save money!!!! Unrelated question..where did you get your necklaces???
Guess what? I am starting this “duo” tonight! Of course I already have those 2 products since Penny has recommended them before😉. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us😍
Penny, in a previous video, you told us that when you use DERMELECT Self Esteem Sleep Serum, you wait a couple of hours before putting any other products. Do you also do that when using “the duo” system? I did tonight😍
@bibicheknauf4163 I don’t really wait for the soothe and recovery. I was waiting before putting on the peptide night cream bc I wanted to avoid hydrolysis with the peptides (breaking the peptides up in to their amino acids….honestly not that big of a deal anyway). Now with the soothe and recovery it’s more about the lipids etc so I can layer them right up 💙 If you choose to wait a little bit that’s totally ok too, whatever works best for you! 😊 I do think I thought (and might still a little) that waiting gives the acids more time to do some work- so even with the soothe and recovery I’d consider waiting. But all in all I don’t stress (and I don’t think you should) on timing- it doesn’t seem to effect the outcome 💙
I don't know why, but I just didn't like my skin after using ZIIP. It seemed to make me appear to have less facial volume. I work with people and talk a lot, so do you suppose that my facial muscles are already too tight, and ZIIP worsened that? Someone suggested myolift for muscle stretching but I'm worried I'll just see similar results! As far as the acidify and lipid replenishing, I'll be on that! Thanks Penny 💗
Originally was using the Self-Esteem Beauty Sleep with CeraVe, much prefer the Sooth + Recovery combo… ❤ the beautiful glow. Where in the process is the Droplette incorporated? *** Using Radiant Detox kit
Hi Penny! Thank you for this video! I am going to try and get several of these products. Do you like Oneskin over Augustinus Bader? They are both so expensive but so many people like them both.
Would you mind putting the ingredient that you were referring to as a response to this question question mark nothing else but that word so that I can copy and paste it into a search engine. I have vision impairment and that really helps me if that’s possible. Thank you so much for all that you do to bring us good skin care and affordable price. I use many of the things that you referred to but I’m always looking or what’s in my skin care to upgrade if I can Care.
Hi Penny. Does Paula's Choice 2% BHA count as an acidifier? I love your channel. I've learned sooo much in the last 6 months! Thank you for doing what you do🙏
Hi Penny! What would you say would be an equivalent to the one skin face? I will try it after I get thru all of my other skin care stuff but I have a whole cabinet of stuff I am trying to use up. Look forward to hearing your thoughts!!! I’ve been going to get a few of these items you mentioned!!!❤
I think the best solutions are multitaskers- a simple AM routine with 2-3 products is doable. That would be an essence or serum, a multitasking product (this would be an antioxidant/moisturizer etc)then sunscreen. Often those type products cost more but they “replace” several other things. A couple examples (only one would be in the routine) UBeauty resurfacing compound Dear Lucy marine antioxidant serum Then I’d choose a sunscreen that also serves as a primer or a tint (so it’s the spf+makeup/complexion) Like: Cooorscience flex or Alastin hydratint 3 products= covers lots of bases. 💙
i want to recommend Multi Ceramide Cream by Korean brand called TOCOBO as it has ceramides, cholesterol, phytosphingosine but so as beta-glucan, squalane, panthenol, etc! to be honest there are many good products with such ingredients
Yes! There are many great products with those ingredients (that’s why I’m certain most people can find a lipid replenishing product in their own cupboard 😊😊) I’ll definitely check that one out!! 💙💙
Hi Penny! I was wondering have you used any products from the brand Plated? I’ve been hearing about their amazing technology and wanted to hear your opinion. I watched the formulator’s on a zoom call with a Dr and it blew my mind with their technology there using with these exosomes. I know exosomes can be a debated issue, however I know the Korean love them! I have used them in meso therapy and I love them!
Plated is on my radar, yes!! The only thing that gets me is that the scientists I’ve asked about exosomes say that they are quite unstable and require very cold environment storage to stay active. So I wonder about them in a bottle that’s not kept very cold. I need to do a lot more research though bc the science is amazing!
Gosh, I wouldn't rinse off that ingredient packed gel from ZIIP... P.S. I transfer all my liquids into spray bottles, eliminating the cotton rounds and allowing the layering of essences.
Yes! 💕Please do a video and polyhydroxy acids!!! Btw, You look so beautiful.😍 That would be fantastic! 🎉😊 Are you still using your Retinaldehyde and your Reviv growth factor serums? Which Vitamin C derivative are you using? I am looking for a new vitamin C? One last thing…. Have you done a video on the new Telemerase serum from Reviv? Love to see a video tutorial of the new Ziip Halo, your version. I love your knowledge of skincare!!!! Amazing! ❤
I am still using reviv+retinaldehyde 😁 I have been using a serum from the Canadian indie brand Dear Lucy. It’s an excellent vitamin C product, but it’s expensive. I’m on the hunt for an affordable THD ever since naturium discontinued theirs 🫤
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREhave you seen the THD vitamin C oil from QRX labs? I think they call it C E serum. Would love your take on this. Thanks for all the great education you provide!!!
Thank you for sharing such good information. I will definitely this routine. Would you know if LED light is safe to use with Melasma. ? I thought red light is not. ? Thank you again.
Well you have to watch out for NIR light. It has some heat and that can trigger melasma. And truly anything can trigger melasma so I can’t guarantee that just red LED won’t. It is one of the biggest skincare mysteries to me. LED doesn’t bother my pigment at all and I am VERY sensitive to pigment, but I’ve heard too many people say they got a bunch of unwanted pigment from LED so I’ll never say it’s not possible. I wish I had a more straightforward answer 🫤
Hi Penn - I have the the self-esteem neck cream but haven’t worked it into my routine yet. I have a couple questions - the Beauty Sleep Serum - do you take that down onto the neck on those nights you use it? I noticed you are using the neck cream a couple mornings a week in this routine. It also has aha/bay but lesser strength? And wondered if that was what you used instead of the Sleep Serum for necks.
I have been using Illiyoon Ceramine Ato Concentrate Cream the last month. It has Phytosphingosine in it. No wonder I feel my skin is a lot more vibrant after I started using it. I would love to hear your opinions on this cream.
I saw a CZcams video where a lady used the Dermalect sleep serum that was orange and looked oxidized. She contacted the company and they said that that was okay. She said she had one clear bottle and one orange. Should she believe Dermalect? Her channel is Skin Obsessed Mary. Thanks
I ordered a couple of things from dermselect when you first mentioned them. Hand cream and neck cream. The neck cream was backordered. After a while, I got an email wanting a review, and I realized I'd never gotten it. When I inquired, instead of sending it asap, they gave me "the refund I'd requested". I hadn't requested anything except information on when it would ship. I was so disappointed. I kept waiting to hear what those black things on your top were? 💜
That's a bummer, sometimes working with customer service can be so annoying. I feel like its definitely worth trying to re-order when its in stock though! The little black squares on my shirt are microphones 😊
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I should have known, you talked about the product, and it got sold out...lol Shocker Always happens. I'll give you my number and if you like something, you can let me know 😉 ha Microphones? Damn, I never would have guessed! I forgot to say, you with no makeup? Looks like a 16 yr old! 💜
I'm confused - so I just ordered the needleless serum and the vit c ferulic e serum , both dermitology. I plan to use the vit c and needleless in the am. is that alright to use both in the morning. at night I use avene retinaldidhyde
Are you still using the photozyme md dna youth recovery? What about IS clinical reparative moisture emulsion and superoxide dismutase? They go back a while please let me know if they are still favorites or have been replaced and how. Thank you
Thank you so much for your helpful info, you are a gem. I have been mixing 3 serums in the same jar to get out the door faster. I am now thinking maybe that's not a good idea 🤔 😬. It is 1/3 each of timeless matrixyl serum, drmtlys needless and an astaxanthan serum. If anyone has thoughts in this, I would love to hear them, thanks so much ❤️
The drmtlgy and matrixyl are fine- and the astaxanthin may be ok too. Which one is it? The only thing I’d think of is if there’s any l-ascorbic acid with the astaxanthin. The copper peptide in the needleless serum may oxidize with the antioxidant but honestly, I think you’re probably ok 😊💙
Most people “in the know” would probably tell you to layer them one by one so you don’t mess with the chemistry of each… but if you have gotten good results I’d say you’re ok! 💙
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE you are just wonderful, thank you for the response. ❤️ the astaxanthan is the Iceland skyn one bought thru your link. Working on reversing melasma, so trying to get in the antioxidants. Honestly, I'm following your recommendations laid out in your recent blog post 😊 using the touch bright and clear for the pigment inhibitor. Do you think that should be the first thing on my skin, and then following with the cocktail of serums? And that first or retinol first on those nights? Thank you so much, you have dramatically changed my skin fir the better ❤️
Omgosh, love your shirt today, Penny. I do tend to like your style.❤ Question... is Ziip better than Myolift, in your opinion? I've been considering getting one, but I do already have the mini. Hope you're having an amazing and blessed weekend. 🌺💖
I have both, and the Ziip Halo is SO much better because I actually use it 😂 it’s 1,000 times faster, so easy to use, and you have both micro and nano current. Not sure what I’m going to do with my myolift but I just gave up on it because it took me 15-20 minutes a night with a bulky device. I just got way too lazy 😬 With the Ziip, on nights when feel too tired I tell myself I’ll just do the quick 4 min treatment and be done with it, and then I end up doing more because it’s just so easy.
@RAA801 lol, I'm afraid i might be too if i were to get one. Less time consuming, totally understandable. So, but, now I'm confused, lol. Does the Ziip erase and/or educate? Just one or both? And does that matter?
Well the mini is an excellent tool. I actually think that they’re equally good- it really is a matter of preference and design. Personally I don’t take the mini any where and I feel like it’s cumbersome to use. That said, it’s great for what it is (just like ziip): microcurrent that works. If you use your mini then I’d say you’re good to go! 💙
Hi Penn, just did medical micro needling and couple days later I see the grids I have done show up after I apply my foundation. Did I damage my skin, or the deeper tissues/did I damage? I’m so worried.
Hi Penny, would exfoliation with a silicone device remove dead skin and provide the same results as the acid combo? If not, I have the paula's choice bha acid product and TO's Glycolic acid at home, can I combine the two to get the same results? As you can tell, I'm trying to save some money by working with what I already have at home. 🤣 Thanks!
Penny, have you ever done a review on Nira? I don't recall one & notice you don't use it but you don't have wrinkles either! Lol. Anyway, would love to know your take on it!❤
Such a great video! One question: do you feel the Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid is personally better for your skin than the Emulsion? I have skin similar to yours (and sensitive to Vit C) so was just curious if the vitamin C in the topical acid would be too much for me since I already use a different vit c serum. Not sure if I should try the Emulsion first since it doesn't have any. Thank you so much for all you do!!! xoxo
So the emulsion is a tiny bit less hydrating (on my skin) but I actually think the azelaic acid in that version is more effective. The serum is a derivative so it’s more gentle but I think it may also be a bit weaker. Some may say that the derivative is better because it’s even less irritating but I think it’s just a matter of preference. I can (and do) use both- so if you want to elimate that ingredient I’d go for the emulsion! 💙
I’m so glad I just picked up the Soothe and Recovery for the DRMTLGY 4th of July sale and of course my Peptide Night Cream … I love the Lactic Acid lotion too! Bonus news!!!! Thanks Penn 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Yay!!! So good!! I’m excited for you. The soothe and recovery last FOREVER too. I have used it as a hand lotion and on my arms in a pinch bc it’s such a huge tube that I’m not as worried about going through it 😁
Great video! Can't wait to try some of these products. I was wondering the night you use the Sleep Serum how many night's do you wait till you use retinol?
I use the sleep serum one night then a couple nights of retinoids etc then another sleep serum night. I do sometimes just do a ton of moisture one night here and there to just take a break from actives. That depends on my skin 😊
I soon loved LED, and then suddenly, I started getting hypergimentation. I am dark skin. Everything was going fine until menopause hit, ntr sure if that's it.
Check your LED for NIR. Unfortunately NIR wavelengths *can* exacerbate hyperpigmentation. NIR has trace amounts of heat and for some people that’s a trigger. Pure red LED (660 or so wavelength) may be a better option. I wish it was straightforward- but it seems that it can improve pigment for some and worsen it for others. 🫤
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you. I was using a handheld bulb. I just checked the specs. It's a combination of 660 & 850. Is there a pure 660 that you would recommend? Thank you.

Drmtlgy Soothe & Recovery Cream www.drmtlgy.com/collections/anti-aging/products/soothe-recover-cream code Penn saves 20%
What I have been using in my AM routine:
First thing in the AM I try to get in an LED session! (About 5x a week)
There are so many options for LED- I have an entire blog on LED that details all of this and the science of LED www.pennsmithskincare.com/post/why-everybody-should-be-using-red-nir-led-on-their-skin-with-before-afters
I have been following this up immediately using my Ziip Halo with the Golden Gel and just rinsing off my face when I am done (not cleansing, just rinsing)
ZIIP HALO Microcurrent Device go.shopmy.us/p-1593091 code PENNZIIP for a discount
The next thing I am doing is my acidify step-
I am choosing either my Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% amzn.to/44zeagb
or Medik 8 Press & Glow go.shopmy.us/p-1555905
Please note...I don't wait much between this step and the next step but IF I were to use a stronger acid (let's say P50 or some stronger glycolic) I WOULD wait a little bit before putting on a peptide based moisturizer. I try to avoid hydrolysis (breaking the peptide up in to it's amino acids) but I am not stressing on this and I don't think you should either, especially with relatively gentle acids like the Ordinary and/or the Medik8.
So next is my bathroom mixology step :)
I am taking my
Sukoyaka Suhada Urea Essence amzn.to/46EQoRW
and my OneSkin Face www.oneskin.co/discount/PENN15 (code Penn15 saves 15%) and I am mixing them up in the palm of my hand and I am applying the concoction all over my face, neck and décolleté. I am really loving these two combined together!!!

I like your content Penny!
Do you wash off night time skin care at all before using the LED? Mine says to use with clean, dry skin, but so many of my products say that, and I hate letting my skin dry out.
It depends on the nighttime skincare- if I used something like an ointment (some heavy occlusive) I would wash before. But usually the skin is perfectly good with the leftover skincare from the night before 💙
Penny I just wanted to thank you for all of your skincare advice over the years. I've gotten into so many different things because of you, like microneedling, fulvic acid, copper peptides, growth factors, the Queen 7-in-1, etc. My skin really has never looked better and it wouldn't be the same without you. Your insight and your opinions are so valuable to me, sometimes I wish I had you on speed dial haha. I just hope you know how appreciated you are
Oh my gosh…..you just made my day 🥹🥹🥹
Agree 100%!!
I agree - wholeheartedly!! I have learned so much from you and love your style of sharing everything thoughtfully and clearly!! Thank you @penny so very much for helping all of us in such a positive way!! I have tuned my regimen many times to your great advice and product recommendations. I have yet to start any leds or the zipp but your video with melanie was so interesting! Thank you!
Same here penny. You are an angel for helping all of us to look our very best❤️🌺🌷🌞 have a wonderful summer and God bless you
I would pay to speed dial Penny!!!!
I just rewatched this video the other day and then went searching for phyosphingosine in my products other than drmtlgy needless serum-good old cerave moisturizing cream has it!
Thanks Penny for passing along your knowledge to us!
In her video on ingredients that work better together, dr alexis stephens talks about moisturizers with cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides and the phytosphingosine. She recommends a few but the more affordable one would be the cerave skin renewal night cream and even the skinfix triple lipid (the original and not the gel). There's also a prescription cream as well.
I’m excited about this one!! ☕️💃🏻🙌🏼 Penny looking gorgeous in blue 💙
Thank you so much!
LOVE the tip of mixing a lightweight hydrating toner with thicker stronger serums and've been doing it for years and years, but with the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner... the luxurious slippy-ness of it makes all my serums spread like a dream so I can use less and they last longer not to mention sink in deeper for better faster results... I make my husband do the same with their Mist Toner, the spray top of which I switched with the shake top of a used up Essence Toner so he can shake a few drops in with each step of his routine... game changer!
I feel like I need to listen to this one twice. Lots of good info.
Appreciate all the information and really appreciate you saying if you can’t afford these, look for these ingredients. We all want great skin, but can’t always afford it, especially if there’s many steps and products. Thank you!
Thanks for yet another informative video, Penn!😊 I have a question: can you share your PM routine on the other 5 nights of the week (when not doing the 2- step routine)?? Thank you 🙏🏻
Woo I’m gonna need to watch this a couple times to get it right. 😂 I have a lot of the same products already, just need to map out a routine. I get overwhelmed with too many options, then get a bit of analysis paralysis.
Really just think of lowering or keeping the PH low and then replenishing with a moisturizer that has ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine (if you have one).
That’s the main one two punch 💙💙💙
Hi Penny, I hope you see this! I was hoping you would consider a video on how to care for your skin post face lift, bleph, laser and other similar procedures. You shared your own surgery journey and I followed similar suit. I know I can't be the only one! I would value knowing good skin care protocol, when to restart actives and what devices to keep in the routine moving forward. Thank you in advance! Thank you for your devotion to skin care and education!
So much for things I already have in my arsenal as you stated
I’m obsessed with the Sleep Serum. I agree. I see a difference in the am. I just received the DRMTLY product today! Can’t wait to try together!
Thanks for all the great info! I'd love some recs on PHA products. Thanks, Penny!
You use things so much more carefully. I use the DRMTLGY Needless and use a full dropper and douse it on! You are so right about your essence. I purchased it last fall and splash it on carelessly and it’s still half full. I absolutely love it. If you comment readers haven’t tried it yet, you are really missing out on a special experience!
I’m probably less careful when I’m not filming myself lol 😁😁
💙
Happy Sunday friend!!
When you cocktail the urea essence with the OneSkin, you could also spray the fulvic mineral solution into the cocktail to help drive everything further into the skin
Oh I love this!!
Awesome, Penny 😊 I checked my favorite moisturizer -- Liquid Gold by Stratia -- and yep, it has phytosphingosine 🎉🎉
Yes!!! That is an awesome moisturizer!!
I think that I ask this every time, but do you still use your droplette? I just did my cosmetic microneeding with my Reviv growth factors. I found you around two years ago. We are both the same age. The big difference between us is that I have very,very oily skin still. It does help with the wrinkles. I use the dermmelect self esteem serum since I received it in my Dermstore box one month. I so wish that I could afford the oneskin, but it is not in my budget. I finally took the plunge and ordered DRMTLGY. Oh, my goodness. I love everything I have purchased so far. Especially, the needless serum. I thank you for all the time and effort that you put in everyone of your videos. Thank you, and may God bless your family and you with all his love ❤️
I finally ordered the Dermelect Night serum and it’s in transit. Excited to get it, and I already have the DRMTLGY cream you use along with it. I’ve been using the Needle-Less Serum forever. I keep thinking I’ll go without because it’s pricey, but at this point, I’m afraid to stop. 🤷♀️ I just wait for a good sale and stock up. Thanks for sharing your routine with us ! Your skin looks so good with & without makeup ! ☺️💜☺️
Thank you so much! I understand about the Needleless... but it's just so good! I also wait until its on sale to stock up or just so you know you can always get 20% off at Drmtlgy with code Penn 🥰 there is no reason to ever pay full price if you don't have to!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Yes, and thanks so much for that discount code ! 💜
Hi penny, you look absolutely marvellous in this purple top! Very interesting video / concept. I use a pha toner from inkey list, very affordable and great for sensitive skin. Thanks for your recommandations + routine! 🍒
I actually have the dermelect sleep serum already!! Yay! The problem I have is I switch products to frequently, so I have to really use consistent products for at least a month!
I highly recommend Torridens Solid-In cream, full of ceramides and that phytosphingosine ingredient as well
Oh thank you!! I’ll look it up right now!
Good morning 🌞
Thank you, Penny ☺️ I just used your discount code and ordered Dermelect Sleep Serum. I already have the Recovery Cream..
I have a routine already but will skip it two nights a week to try this.
Enjoy your journey in life and keep spreading your sunshine..🥰
I hope you love it as much as I do 🥰 and thank you so much!
I love your top. You have excellent style. I know you might be too busy for that but I would love a fashion video with your recommendations.
I love the idea of the essence with One Skin. I use One Skin Face morning and evening so to make it last longer sounds great. Question: I've never heard of adding anything after moisturizer except sunscreen. Seems counterintuitive and wouldn't let the vitamin c to penetrate. Can you tell me more about that? Thank you!
I put my sukihada ( no idea how to spell it rn) into a old spray toner bottle an I love it! It is always my first step before eveeeeerything. Definitely helps make other more expensive serums spread, that way I can take it all the way down my neck an even started doing the girls! 😉 😂
You are the best, Penn! Thank you, for all you do ❤💕 Love you!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm curious abt dermlct but undecided. I use 17%salicylic acid 1xwk & cais 3xwk & to salicylic acid or adapalene 3xwk.
Thank you so, so much for being here for us !
Hi Penny - wonderful video, as always!
I've read in multiple places that peptides should not be used with acids because the acids break the bonds in the peptides making them less effective. I've been keeping my acids in the am, then peptides in the PM with tret.
Is there a resource with differing information? I'd love to be able to switch things around and use my peptides twice a day!
Great review of products. I also love the Tsukika tsuhada and use it in many steps of my skin care, and it always helps my fees retain moisture … (I also use the urea thick gel. Oh my God I love that stuff ). at 62 years old
Colleen what's the urea thick gel and is it for the face?
Thank you, Penn, for all the helpful tips. I suffer from ADD and at times find the videos a lil too wordy .
Check my blog, that version may be helpful for you?

***Penny ****I have been using Mary&May - Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Intensive Total Care Cream - 70g for only 14 dollars and it has the ingredient you mentioned 5 kinds of Ceramides and Phytosphingosine this is amazing and affordable
That’s wonderful!! Thank you for sharing 😍😍
I went digging through my products and found that my Dermelect Redness Rehab Soothing Cream has the Phytosphingosine in it!! I’ll make sure to be consistent now with that and the Dermelect night serum that I’ve also started using a few weeks ago!!!
That is such an awesome product! The only issue I have is packaging- I wish it didn’t get messy. But that’s really being nit picky for an otherwise stellar product 😍
Oh, I have all this stuff that you are using so I will try this technique! Haha and the Sukiada water I’m on my fourth bottle. I love that stuff I think it’s the best. Anything I put on my face it just helps it a little more.
The Sukoyaka is sooo good, I lost count on my # of bottles long ago 😂
Great video, your skin looks great. What could I sub for the OneSkin Face? It is a little out of my price range. Thanks. Blessings to you from Texas.
Hi Penny- I too would like an alternate to the One Skin Face product. I feel like I have an overabundance of products on the shelf already (thank you by the way!!) and am hoping you can recommend another option. I have the Revive Growth Serum- love!. I have the M4, and I also have Lifeline moisture complex. Hoping for one of these to be a good fill in. Thanks!
I would say your reviv would be an amazing alternative to OneSkin- it is lighter weight but it is packed with TONS of goodness. I also think it would cocktail nicely with the Sukoyaka Suhada 😊😊💙
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Perfect- thats what I've been doing the past 2 days.....I want to bathe in the Sukoyaka!! Do you do any virtual private consultations? If so, please let me know the process. Have an amazing day!!
Cerave moisturising cream in the tub just cannot be beaten 😊
Oh, great, now I feel bad. It's all about the Zip Halo now after I went and bought the zip GX. Because you loved it so much... Really dries me out no matter how much. I moisturize and I do everything right? I'm an estimation
The GX is really great- and honestly very little changed with the halo.
You are using their conductivity products and they’re drying you out?
Are you washing after?
You should watch my halo video and my video with Melanie (founder of ziip and incredible esthetician) then you wouldn’t feel bad about your GX! It’s an awesome device 💙
Hi Penny - another super informative video. Very interested in trying the Dermelect Sleep Serum so have ordered this! Many thanks🌸
Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful. Do have a couple budget options that you like for polyhydroxy acids? This heat wave is so real! 😆 thanks again from Reno!
Penny thank you for all your knowledge. I just started watching your channel & have 1 question, why do you put your moisturizer on in AM before your serums (azaleic acid, Needle-less serum) on top of the OneSkin??
Good question!
Great video and you are looking so lovely in this royal blue!💙
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you for this, Penny!! I’m 60 and very pleased with how my skin is looking, much thanks to you. Need to use micro-current to lift my face. Curious if you’re still using your Droplette? Love ya! 💕
I do use the droplette-but honestly it is hit and miss. I really only use the collagen capsules (those have always been my favorites) and when I do remember to use it I am SO happy with my skin. I probably remember 2 times a week (because once I have done anything else it's too late....I always want to do the droplette first...So i will do (for example) my oneskin/essence step and THEN remember the Droplette and it's too late!!). That said, it is one of the BEST pick me ups ever- the collagen capsule I mean :)
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you for this reply!! I will keep it in mind for the collagen capsules. And I guess since the Ziip “pushes” skincare in, that is a one-two punch that may make the Droplette less necessary. But still, I get that they provide different services for the skin/facial muscles. The Droplette can deliver things that the Ziip can’t. I am so intrigued by all of this and how we actually have the power to make so much difference with our skin and bodies.💖
Hey Penn can you please do a video about skincare for those on accutane and in general, about mini doses of accutane for ageing,i think it's very interesting. I saw a video by one dermatologist and she was suggesting to consider accutane once weekly as she have seen amazing results for her patients over time
Hi Penny, I wanted to know when you're getting Retin-A in? I was told NOT to use with Vitamin C...is that true, and where do I put the Retin-A in my routine? Thank you for telling us about this wonderful skincare. I need the ZIP for sure. I already have the red light therapy. ❤ This is incredibly great information and extremely thorough as usual...But the Retin-A??? Please and thank you.
Thank you for always recommending the BEST products! I just ordered the sleep serum. I’ve been using Sunday Riley Good Genes and Dennis Gross alternately & can really see how the acid exfoliation is key in a a good skincare routine! I’ll replace these products temporarily with the sleep serum step. Will save money!!!!
Unrelated question..where did you get your necklaces???
Guess what? I am starting this “duo” tonight! Of course I already have those 2 products since Penny has recommended them before😉. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us😍
Penny, in a previous video, you told us that when you use DERMELECT Self Esteem Sleep Serum, you wait a couple of hours before putting any other products. Do you also do that when using “the duo” system? I did tonight😍
@bibicheknauf4163 I don’t really wait for the soothe and recovery. I was waiting before putting on the peptide night cream bc I wanted to avoid hydrolysis with the peptides (breaking the peptides up in to their amino acids….honestly not that big of a deal anyway). Now with the soothe and recovery it’s more about the lipids etc so I can layer them right up 💙
If you choose to wait a little bit that’s totally ok too, whatever works best for you! 😊
I do think I thought (and might still a little) that waiting gives the acids more time to do some work- so even with the soothe and recovery I’d consider waiting.
But all in all I don’t stress (and I don’t think you should) on timing- it doesn’t seem to effect the outcome 💙
Thank you so, so very much for your prompt, detailed and oh so informative answer🤗
I don't know why, but I just didn't like my skin after using ZIIP. It seemed to make me appear to have less facial volume. I work with people and talk a lot, so do you suppose that my facial muscles are already too tight, and ZIIP worsened that? Someone suggested myolift for muscle stretching but I'm worried I'll just see similar results!
As far as the acidify and lipid replenishing, I'll be on that! Thanks Penny 💗
Just added the Medik8 press and glow, been doing every other day cause I wasn’t sure.
Wow described so well..now it's very easy to follow our morning skin care routine at 40😅
Originally was using the Self-Esteem Beauty Sleep with CeraVe, much prefer the Sooth + Recovery combo… ❤ the beautiful glow.
Where in the process is the Droplette incorporated? *** Using Radiant Detox kit
You're the best! 😍 What skincare recommendation would you recommend for jowls?
Hi Penny! Thank you for this video! I am going to try and get several of these products. Do you like Oneskin over Augustinus Bader? They are both so expensive but so many people like them both.
Ohhh I’m excited to try this. What retinol products do you recommend and how do you cycle retinoids and acids?
Just placed my order for the serum and Dermatology cream. Hoping for results!
Would you mind putting the ingredient that you were referring to as a response to this question question mark nothing else but that word so that I can copy and paste it into a search engine. I have vision impairment and that really helps me if that’s possible. Thank you so much for all that you do to bring us good skin care and affordable price. I use many of the things that you referred to but I’m always looking or what’s in my skin care to upgrade if I can Care.
Hi Penny. Does Paula's Choice 2% BHA count as an acidifier?
I love your channel. I've learned sooo much in the last 6 months! Thank you for doing what you do🙏
Hi Penny! What would you say would be an equivalent to the one skin face? I will try it after I get thru all of my other skin care stuff but I have a whole cabinet of stuff I am trying to use up. Look forward to hearing your thoughts!!! I’ve been going to get a few of these items you mentioned!!!❤
💕💕 I forgot to ask you what cleansers do you recommended for lower PH and for hydrating and sensitive skin. Thank you so much Penny!! 😘
I am using the VaniCream cleanser currently...no actives, just a cleanser. I hope it's a good choice.
@lisadeangelo244 that’s one of the best- and it’s super affordable. 😁🥰
Thanks so much, this is exactly what I've been waiting for. ❤
What routine is best for working women who need to be at the office every day and have little time for skin care
I think the best solutions are multitaskers- a simple AM routine with 2-3 products is doable.
That would be an essence or serum, a multitasking product (this would be an antioxidant/moisturizer etc)then sunscreen.
Often those type products cost more but they “replace” several other things.
A couple examples (only one would be in the routine)
UBeauty resurfacing compound
Dear Lucy marine antioxidant serum
Then I’d choose a sunscreen that also serves as a primer or a tint (so it’s the spf+makeup/complexion)
Like:
Cooorscience flex or
Alastin hydratint
3 products= covers lots of bases.
💙
are you using the Maysama serum when using your red light? Are you leaving it on through your Halo and top with your other serums and creams?
i want to recommend Multi Ceramide Cream by Korean brand called TOCOBO as it has ceramides, cholesterol, phytosphingosine but so as beta-glucan, squalane, panthenol, etc! to be honest there are many good products with such ingredients
Yes! There are many great products with those ingredients (that’s why I’m certain most people can find a lipid replenishing product in their own cupboard 😊😊)
I’ll definitely check that one out!! 💙💙
Hi Penny! I was wondering have you used any products from the brand Plated? I’ve been hearing about their amazing technology and wanted to hear your opinion. I watched the formulator’s on a zoom call with a Dr and it blew my mind with their technology there using with these exosomes. I know exosomes can be a debated issue, however I know the Korean love them! I have used them in meso therapy and I love them!
Plated is on my radar, yes!!
The only thing that gets me is that the scientists I’ve asked about exosomes say that they are quite unstable and require very cold environment storage to stay active. So I wonder about them in a bottle that’s not kept very cold.
I need to do a lot more research though bc the science is amazing!
Gosh, I wouldn't rinse off that ingredient packed gel from ZIIP...
P.S. I transfer all my liquids into spray bottles, eliminating the cotton rounds and allowing the layering of essences.
I have to rinse it off or else I’m goopy 😊😊
Great video thank you!
Yes! 💕Please do a video and polyhydroxy acids!!! Btw, You look so beautiful.😍 That would be fantastic! 🎉😊 Are you still using your Retinaldehyde and your Reviv growth factor serums? Which Vitamin C derivative are you using? I am looking for a new vitamin C? One last thing…. Have you done a video on the new Telemerase serum from Reviv? Love to see a video tutorial of the new Ziip Halo, your version. I love your knowledge of skincare!!!! Amazing! ❤
I am still using reviv+retinaldehyde 😁
I have been using a serum from the Canadian indie brand Dear Lucy. It’s an excellent vitamin C product, but it’s expensive. I’m on the hunt for an affordable THD ever since naturium discontinued theirs 🫤
Also! The telomerase serum looks SO interesting!! I just don’t have enough skin lol
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Don't versed have a couple (a serum and a face cream)?
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREVanicream has a THD vitamin C now. I have been loving it!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREhave you seen the THD vitamin C oil from QRX labs? I think they call it C E serum. Would love your take on this. Thanks for all the great education you provide!!!
Sorry if I missed it, what Vitamin C derivative do you recommend? I hear the THD is the best??
I tried the night routine today!🎉. Penn your hair are gorgeous… can you share your hair care routine and products?❤
Thank you for sharing such good information. I will definitely this routine. Would you know if LED light is safe to use with Melasma. ? I thought red light is not. ? Thank you again.
Well you have to watch out for NIR light. It has some heat and that can trigger melasma.
And truly anything can trigger melasma so I can’t guarantee that just red LED won’t. It is one of the biggest skincare mysteries to me.
LED doesn’t bother my pigment at all and I am VERY sensitive to pigment, but I’ve heard too many people say they got a bunch of unwanted pigment from LED so I’ll never say it’s not possible.
I wish I had a more straightforward answer 🫤
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE 😫😭so frustrating dealing with Melasma.!! Thank you. You’re information is greatly appreciated. 🤗
Thank you so much for the juicy information! I love using revive but I didn’t see you mention when to layer that.
Hi Penn - I have the the self-esteem neck cream but haven’t worked it into my routine yet. I have a couple questions - the Beauty Sleep Serum - do you take that down onto the neck on those nights you use it? I noticed you are using the neck cream a couple mornings a week in this routine. It also has aha/bay but lesser strength? And wondered if that was what you used instead of the Sleep Serum for necks.
Hi Penny! How do you know what the PH is of your fave wash? Also, I would love to see a vlog of your skin after using these products. Thank you!
I have been using Illiyoon Ceramine Ato Concentrate Cream the last month. It has Phytosphingosine in it. No wonder I feel my skin is a lot more vibrant after I started using it. I would love to hear your opinions on this cream.
I saw a CZcams video where a lady used the Dermalect sleep serum that was orange and looked oxidized. She contacted the company and they said that that was okay. She said she had one clear bottle and one orange. Should she believe Dermalect? Her channel is Skin Obsessed Mary. Thanks
I ordered a couple of things from dermselect when you first mentioned them. Hand cream and neck cream. The neck cream was backordered. After a while, I got an email wanting a review, and I realized I'd never gotten it. When I inquired, instead of sending it asap, they gave me "the refund I'd requested". I hadn't requested anything except information on when it would ship. I was so disappointed. I kept waiting to hear what those black things on your top were? 💜
That's a bummer, sometimes working with customer service can be so annoying. I feel like its definitely worth trying to re-order when its in stock though! The little black squares on my shirt are microphones 😊
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I should have known, you talked about the product, and it got sold out...lol Shocker Always happens. I'll give you my number and if you like something, you can let me know 😉 ha Microphones? Damn, I never would have guessed! I forgot to say, you with no makeup? Looks like a 16 yr old! 💜
I'm confused - so I just ordered the needleless serum and the vit c ferulic e serum , both dermitology. I plan to use the vit c and needleless in the am. is that alright to use both in the morning. at night I use avene retinaldidhyde
I have been using Adipeau cream. Where would this go? Thank you for all this info, Penney!!!!!!!!!
Cool penny thank you! I really appreciate you❤
Thank you, I appreciate you being here 😊
My RNW Der Ceramide Serum has all 3 “holy trinity” ingredients I LOVE IT with my DRMTLGY Peptide Night Cream and then my Tretnoin no irritation
Awesome!!!!!
Great informative video, thank you
👏👏👏
Are you still using the photozyme md dna youth recovery? What about IS clinical reparative moisture emulsion and superoxide dismutase? They go back a while please let me know if they are still favorites or have been replaced and how. Thank you
I use .10 or .20 vit c from timeless and then needless serum from DRMTLGY. Is that okay because of the cooper and vit c.
I wouldn’t use those two right after each other.
You could wait a bit between the two (or move one of them to the other end of your routine) 💙
Thank you so much for your helpful info, you are a gem. I have been mixing 3 serums in the same jar to get out the door faster. I am now thinking maybe that's not a good idea 🤔 😬. It is 1/3 each of timeless matrixyl serum, drmtlys needless and an astaxanthan serum. If anyone has thoughts in this, I would love to hear them, thanks so much ❤️
The drmtlgy and matrixyl are fine- and the astaxanthin may be ok too. Which one is it? The only thing I’d think of is if there’s any l-ascorbic acid with the astaxanthin.
The copper peptide in the needleless serum may oxidize with the antioxidant but honestly, I think you’re probably ok 😊💙
Most people “in the know” would probably tell you to layer them one by one so you don’t mess with the chemistry of each… but if you have gotten good results I’d say you’re ok! 💙
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE you are just wonderful, thank you for the response. ❤️ the astaxanthan is the Iceland skyn one bought thru your link. Working on reversing melasma, so trying to get in the antioxidants. Honestly, I'm following your recommendations laid out in your recent blog post 😊 using the touch bright and clear for the pigment inhibitor. Do you think that should be the first thing on my skin, and then following with the cocktail of serums? And that first or retinol first on those nights? Thank you so much, you have dramatically changed my skin fir the better ❤️
Hi, are you still using the estrogen M4 cream? If so, are you using it Am or PM? Every day?
Omgosh, love your shirt today, Penny. I do tend to like your style.❤ Question... is Ziip better than Myolift, in your opinion? I've been considering getting one, but I do already have the mini. Hope you're having an amazing and blessed weekend. 🌺💖
I have both, and the Ziip Halo is SO much better because I actually use it 😂 it’s 1,000 times faster, so easy to use, and you have both micro and nano current. Not sure what I’m going to do with my myolift but I just gave up on it because it took me 15-20 minutes a night with a bulky device. I just got way too lazy 😬 With the Ziip, on nights when feel too tired I tell myself I’ll just do the quick 4 min treatment and be done with it, and then I end up doing more because it’s just so easy.
@RAA801 lol, I'm afraid i might be too if i were to get one. Less time consuming, totally understandable. So, but, now I'm confused, lol. Does the Ziip erase and/or educate? Just one or both? And does that matter?
Well the mini is an excellent tool. I actually think that they’re equally good- it really is a matter of preference and design.
Personally I don’t take the mini any where and I feel like it’s cumbersome to use. That said, it’s great for what it is (just like ziip): microcurrent that works.
If you use your mini then I’d say you’re good to go! 💙
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thanks Penny! 😊
Wow thank you for this
Thank you for being here! 💙
Thank you for introducing us to Oneskin. I love the products
Penny, do u still use the dermelect neck cream in the morning? Love your videos so much!
Yes! 2 days a week (I showed it in this video but it was pretty brief 🥰)
Hi Penn, just did medical micro needling and couple days later I see the grids I have done show up after I apply my foundation. Did I damage my skin, or the deeper tissues/did I damage? I’m so worried.
Hi Penny, would exfoliation with a silicone device remove dead skin and provide the same results as the acid combo? If not, I have the paula's choice bha acid product and TO's Glycolic acid at home, can I combine the two to get the same results? As you can tell, I'm trying to save some money by working with what I already have at home. 🤣 Thanks!
Penny, have you ever done a review on Nira? I don't recall one & notice you don't use it but you don't have wrinkles either! Lol. Anyway, would love to know your take on it!❤
Great content 👌
You are just so absolutely beautiful!
Such a great video! One question: do you feel the Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid is personally better for your skin than the Emulsion? I have skin similar to yours (and sensitive to Vit C) so was just curious if the vitamin C in the topical acid would be too much for me since I already use a different vit c serum. Not sure if I should try the Emulsion first since it doesn't have any. Thank you so much for all you do!!! xoxo
So the emulsion is a tiny bit less hydrating (on my skin) but I actually think the azelaic acid in that version is more effective.
The serum is a derivative so it’s more gentle but I think it may also be a bit weaker. Some may say that the derivative is better because it’s even less irritating but I think it’s just a matter of preference.
I can (and do) use both- so if you want to elimate that ingredient I’d go for the emulsion! 💙
Important to mention that not all gels are equal
I’m so glad I just picked up the Soothe and Recovery for the DRMTLGY 4th of July sale and of course my Peptide Night Cream … I love the Lactic Acid lotion too! Bonus news!!!! Thanks Penn 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Yay!!! So good!! I’m excited for you. The soothe and recovery last FOREVER too. I have used it as a hand lotion and on my arms in a pinch bc it’s such a huge tube that I’m not as worried about going through it 😁
Is it okey to use copper with acids cause I think no .. lactic acid azealic acid with copper is that okey ?
Great video! Can't wait to try some of these products. I was wondering the night you use the Sleep Serum how many night's do you wait till you use retinol?
I use the sleep serum one night then a couple nights of retinoids etc then another sleep serum night.
I do sometimes just do a ton of moisture one night here and there to just take a break from actives. That depends on my skin 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREthank you! Love watching your videos. I'm Learning so much from watching these videos. Thank you for everything you do ❤
I soon loved LED, and then suddenly, I started getting hypergimentation. I am dark skin. Everything was going fine until menopause hit, ntr sure if that's it.
Check your LED for NIR. Unfortunately NIR wavelengths *can* exacerbate hyperpigmentation. NIR has trace amounts of heat and for some people that’s a trigger.
Pure red LED (660 or so wavelength) may be a better option.
I wish it was straightforward- but it seems that it can improve pigment for some and worsen it for others.

@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you. I was using a handheld bulb. I just checked the specs. It's a combination of 660 & 850. Is there a pure 660 that you would recommend? Thank you.
@@moyamorrison2807With the Mito red 300 panel, you can switch off the nir and only use the red light. 👍🏼
