Hi Dr. Dray! I know that I made this comment on your Instagram post, but I thought I'd make it here for those who aren't on there. I have VERY sensitive skin and I tolerate both the Missha and Neogen essences very well. However, the reason that I had starting using essence was to prep my skin for my prescription Retin-A Micro as I live in a very dry environment. Missha has lactic acid in their essence, so it doesn't combine well with retinol. I've been using the Neogen essence with my prescription for about a year, and I've had no issues. I apply the essence when my skin is still damp, and then I apply the retinol once my face is dry followed by my PM moisturizer. Hope this helps anyone who is considering combining essence with retinol!
Thank you so much! I was thinking of using this with my tretinoin too and this info totally helped. I have very dry skin too and am hoping it helps me too. I will definitely try the Neogen essence.
Will both the Neogen and the Missha work with a Glycolic acid? You are also saying here that the Missha does “not” pair well with Retinol products. I alternate with using a glycolic product and a retinol product.
@@kosmosbjm I'm honestly not sure. Lactic acid, which is in the Missha essence, is an alpha hydroxy acid just like glycolic acid. You would essentially be layering two AHAs if you did that. I couldn't say if it would interact with the Neogen essence. I use a BHA toner in the mornings, and I only use essence in the evenings. Of course, I'm not a dermatologist. I'm still learning just like everyone else. Maybe give the Neogen essence a try and see if it works? Or maybe try a patch test?
Neogen's Micro Essence is my favourite essence. I have loved it ever since Michelle Phan used it on her Harper Bazaar's routine. I like to pair it with the I'm From rice toner for maximum brightness. Highly recommend them as a combo but the Neogen alone works wonders. Happy Sunday everyone!!!
I have been living/working in Seoul, South Korea for over two years now and have been immersed in their prolific and highly affordable skincare. Essentially an "Essence" and "Toner" (the Korean word for Toner is Skin... Literally) are virtually interchangeable. It depends on what that particular brand wants to label it as, although typically essences have (more) active ingredients. More Western inclined brands may label a similar product a "Toner". Occasionally a brand is super EXTRA and have both an essence and toner... Although I can't think of an example off the top of my head. The typical order is: Essence /Toner (depending on the brand) Serum Lotion Moisturiser Most people would use either a lotion or a moisturiser in one sitting and not both, depending on their skin type/ moisture needs and if it for the day or night. I have tried both the Neogen and Missha. They are both good. I think the Neogen is more expensive whereas the Missha is frequently found in 1+1 deals over here (I.e. BOGO)
Hi! What are ur thoughts about using H.A.( Isnttree) plus one of those Essences? Would that be too much? I have combination skin (no sensitive or any other major issue) Thanx for sharing 🌻
I apply Vaseline on my eyelids and around my mouth area as needed. I tend to get very dry eyelids in the winter months. CeraVe healing ointment also works for me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Everyday I kept excitedly refreshing my feed to see what topic dr dray gonna do and she’s like a psychic. I been looking at these two products yesterday to see which one I want to try and dr dray came through the next day. Lol it’s weird but amazing.
I just noticed a couple videos ago, that you added "chapters" to the video. I don't know how that goes, and if it's a lot of work or not, but I *love* it! I don't skip, but it is so nice to be able to follow along and see what's up next! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for us. :)
I just started using the Missha essence this week. It is the first time I have ever tried an essence and so far no irritation and it does feel very hydrating on my skin. I love that it comes in a glass bottle.
I am literally getting my shipment with the CosRX Snail Mucin and Pyunkang Toner tomorrow. I've been so excited to try them, and you just validated that! I really trust your opinion. Thanks for your honesty and no BS advice on skincare!
I swear by Vaseline too...I RECENTLY did a video on it. In india we also use BOROLIN . Its a company established in 1928 n is very popular cream for nicks burns n moisture hydration. Its got petroleum jelly n paraffin wax.
Enjoyed! I've been using Vaseline on my face, hands ,knees and feet for year's and everything is pretty soft and look good 🙂 l had a pedicure this fall and the technician said there wasn't anything she needed to file on my feet, so l guess Vaseline is working! Happy Sunday 🙂🍁
I've been apparently slugging for a long time without knowing it. I use Cerave healing ointment as the last step in my pm routine and skin loves it. I've never broken out but I also don't have acne issues. Happy Sunday everyone!
I use mostly all Korean skincare for the last 4 years. Cosrx completely changed my skin (0ily/adult acne) I can't go without my snail mucin 🐌 However I'm now going through menopause and my skin is changing to dry patches. Love you Dr.❤️🍁
I'm in my 50s now and I'm looking at purchasing the Missha time revolution immortal youth blue essence as a step up from the original Missha time revolution essence. But its less products for more money so a video comparing these 2 would be very useful for us older ladies. Also any reviews on Japanese essences/lotions would be useful especially the lower price ones in the huge bottles. Love all your hard work thank you xxx
i'm a die hard fan of the missha essences (from this one, to the mugwort, to the red algae), love them so much. for my night time routine, i usually follow them up with a matrixyl serum or the paula's choice serum from the "calm" line, and a simple moisturizer with peptides (cerave), or sometimes the nutrition cream from pyunkang yul. then i'll go in with epiduo forte, prescribed by my dermatologist, which is quite drying, so i need to focus a lot on hydration in my nighttime routine. especially since winter is coming here in berlin and i'm quite natural dry/sensitive/reactive as it is. i finish everything up with a petrolatum based product and my skin has honestly never been happier. thank you so much for always sharing your experience, dr dray!!
Hi Dr. Dray! I clean my stainless steel sink throughout the day with regular blue Dawn and a dishcloth. I hardly think about it. It’s become a habit every time I empty out whatever I last placed into the sink. I also change the microfiber dishcloth at least one a day, and more often after cleaning something oily or sticky. Your skin looks gorgeous, as always. I wish I’d been aware of how important good, preventative, skin care is much earlier in life, but I am now, and seeing good results- all because of you and your channel. You’re helping so many people! I hope your Mom and Tybee are doing well, too 💕
I have to mention it’s been like 3 months i had not watch one of her video and I must say that immediately notice Dr. Gray skin is resplendent and healthy !
The good thing about Missha is that it is almost always on sale. I get their text messages. The 150 mL bottle lasted me 4 months. I just got the 215 mL for $30 (regular $75) plus free shipping.
I have been using Vaselin every night as the last stepp of my routine for 6 months now, around my eyes, nose, mouth and part of forehead and my skin is more smooth and moisturised during the day time. Norway is a cold place so vaseline helps a lot.
I've been obsessively debating between these too and finally purchased Missha! I just started using the Cosrx snail essence again as well and it does absolute WONDERS for my PIE. Also I've loved watching you become such a k-beauty queen! We love to see it!
I love and use the Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence, I added that to my routine in 2016 and see a noticeable difference in my skin. My skin overall is brighter, more hydrated, products applied afterward absorb better. I put mine in a spray bottle so I can spritz with wild abandon. The formula has changed over the years. Older versions of the formula formerly licorice in addition to Niacinamide but that was removed a year or so ago. It'd be nice if it were added back to the formula, it's still my favorite Essence product though. :)
She seems to work exclusively from home now doing client visits via computer. I forget the name of the company she now works for, they have a large staff of Derm Docs. She is very careful about, and seldom mentions clients except in a very general sense. :-)
I goop on cereve ointment as a last step on my dry rosacea cheeks, crow feet, and neck. I never break out from it. My skin looks better in the morning adding this step on top my Ordinary buffet serum and Aveeno balm moisturizer. I recently had some irritation in the outside corners of eyes from a new product I tried. It is uncomfortable till I put this ointment on it. Major sunscreen several times a day so I don’t get pih while it heals. Learned all this from your generous teaching Doc! As always thank you!
I’ve been using Missha Time Revolution and personally, I used it as my preparation step before I putting my serum. I have a combination skin and Missha hydrates my skin and helps my skin absorbs my serums.
Okay. First of all, getting in and graduating in medicine is quite hard, so you should really love it in order to spend at least 8 years in college, two usmle steps to graduate and a third to get a medical license. Now, based on your scores, you may aspire to certain medical residencies, but you also need someone from the same specialty to know and support you in order to pass the interviews, especially in dermatology. Dermatology is one of the most wanted medical specialties and because of the that, the best scores and/or people who have family in the field get in. Now, if you understand that this is not an easy way, but you love medicine, I say go for it. Just keep in mind this is a really long career to study where you will probably start making good money at your mid 30s and at least in the US, you will have a big debt to take care of while trying to be independent from your family. Source: I'm a doctor. Edit: not from the US, but I used their career model to explain, since I assume you’re also from the States because you’re asking an US based derm.
I think a lot of people are putting up their Christmas decorations extra early this year. Given our current situation, we need a little extra happiness and joy this year. I'll be doing the same. 🎄✨🎄 Happy Sunday, Uncle Charlie!! Hope you had a beautiful day! 😊
I recently purchased the cosrx galactomyces and I love it. I think it’s a bit more affordable than the neogen and missha products. I use their aha/bha toner first (I alternate between the aha/bha and a retinol cream) and the follow them up with a cerave moisturizer and my skin has never looked better.
I use the SK-II Treatment Essence. I love it for *my* skin because I've had hormonal acne along my jawline since around age 18. Only strong contraceptive pills helped (but gave me some weird psychological effects at the same time). The hormonal acne was never really bad, but there were always a few painful lumps deep under the surface of my skin. The SK-II Essence completely rid me of those. I now may get some small pimples once in a while, but they are always topical. Not sure I have seen any brightening results from the essence, but my uneven pigmentation is definitely getting better over time when there aren't constantly deep pimples appearing somewhere.
I now wear protective gloves to fluff out Christmas tree branches. 🌲🧤👌💅 I work in a department store and last year my hands were a complete mess after assembling numerous display trees. So this year (especially using so much hand sanitizer) I wore fabric handling gloves with rubberized fingers. This made the task so much easier, faster and my hands and nails were protected. Even if you just have one Christmas tree, your hands will thank you for it later. BTW, I love your white Christmas trees Dr Dray. I have a fun bright blue tree, which I'll put up next weekend. I also have a white tree...I am looking forward to using it to create my first Easter tree in 2021.
Two easy tricks to keep stainless looking nice, first try toothpaste, it’s a mild abrasive and made to polish as well as clean and it will make your sink look nice. You do have to dry out the sink after rinsing. Second suggestion is baking soda, sprinkle in onto wet sink, let it sit a minute then scrub gently with a sponge, rinse and wipe dry. Either option will make stainless shine without scratching. Just an aside, the baking soda will work as well or better to clean anything you would use a Comet type cleanser on and rinse away much easier.
I've been wondering this for a couple months now. I finally landed on starting out with the Neogen and so far I'm obsessed but I'm happy to see a doctor's pov on this.
I have used 4 or 5 bottles of Neogen but decided to switch to Missha based on your recommendation LOL. I have only used Missha for about one month and agree with you. Both are just as good with hydrating and brightening the skin . I prefer Neogen because the bottle is prettier and I think it is slightly cheaper
I'm using the PKY Essence toner. I like it better than Missha because It doesn't fall through my hands and feels good. I didn't know this was a similar product
I just clicked out of one of your older videos to watch this one. I should be working on homework instead I’m binge watching Dr. Dray 😂. Hey, at least I’m learning right? Happy Sunday!
Hello! I have been using the Missha essence for about 2 months. I love what is does for my skin. I purchased after a video you did which gave us a discount. I’ve had no irritation issues and find my “wiser” skin does appear more hydrated 😉! Happy Sunday! Wet Sunday in South Florida due to tropical storm Eta...🌧🌧🌧
I actually liked the Neogen essence better. I never got irritated skin with either really, but I think the Neogen was more a bit soothing. But yes they are incredibly similar I think.
I use the Neogen essence. I have to use a lot of topical prescriptions for my acne (tazorac, benzoyl, glycolic acid wash, etc) and even with my super sensitive skin I love this product. I can tell a huge difference in my skin when I run out of it, I start to see dry patches of eczema around my nose and mouth and my skin feels tight and flaky. This gets rid of all of that. It's a must have if you use tretinoid and want to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
Hi Dr. Dray, Happy Sunday. I started using the Time Revolution when you did a video on it about a month or so ago. It irritated my skin at first, but then my skin accepted it. Within maybe two weeks, my face looked so much better. My melasma started to lighten and break apart. I did however add the Murad Aha bha wash also around the same time. I love the Time Revolution. Thanks for recommending it.
I received the Neogen in an Allure beauty box. Really like it. Definitely makes my skin smoother and brighter. One of the few products that made a notable difference along with the Paula’s Choice bha2%. Went on vacation without either and by the end of the week I could see my pores clogging up. Won’t go away without again.
Oh the Christmas trees are beautiful and I can't wait until you decorate your ballerina tree! Maybe you can get me in the Christmas spirit. I feel as though once we are rid of this virus, I want to go back and celebrate all the holidays I missed so yes I want to wear my beautiful Halloween shirt even if it's not Halloween. I admire you for keeping with the flow despite what's going on in the world! :-)
Put sheet mask, 10-15 min, slather Vaseline over skin and lock in hydration. I have been using this method three nights a week (coz sleeping with Vaseline is annoying) and it has made a huge difference in my red acne marks. Change your pillow or put a towel..
I absolutely love my Soon Jung Relief Toner but I’ve been curious about the Neogen Essence and wanted to try it. Thanks for this video! I’ll be trying out the Neogen once I finish up my Soon Jung :)
I have not tried either product. Adding hydration is something I look for. I am excited to try both of these and see what works best for me. I do love those studs on you. You are so beautiful and they are flattering! ❤️ Suzy
Hi Dr Dray - who knew I was trendy lol. I have severely dry post menopausal skin with both type 1 rosacea and eczema. I've been using a petrolatum rich cream or balm overnight as a final occlusive layer for a long time (my own version of eczema wet wrapping for the face). I find it beneficial for holding in moisture/hydration overnight. i'm currently using either the LRP Lipikar cream/balm or the Aveeno dermexa balm. As to the Missha or Neogen essence - i've used both and liked both. The subtle difference I noted was the Missha is more hydrating and the Neogen a little more soothing. I hope that helps others to choose. Best wishes.
I haven't tried either essence but LOVE the Neogen Real Ferment Serum. Hyram said he thought it was stronger than the essence. I noticed a difference in my skin texture almost immediately. Also, one point, while you might find YesStyle slow on delivery, it is not everywhere. I can get my order here in Dubai in a week so it might be the American postal system and not the fault of YesStyle. Maybe you could say, "if you are ordering from America, you might find delivery slow.." It's an incredible website! (no, I have no affiliation with them but in comparison with the prices for skin-care here, they are incredible).
Thank you for this!! I ended up buying the Neogen Real Ferment RIGHT after watching to see if I can get on top of the dryness I experience in Michigan winters.
Happy Sunday, Dr Dray!! I've never heard of either of these products. Interesting though. Love the studs!! Just my style. I love small, delicate jewelry pieces. Your new tree is perfect for your bedroom. Can't wait to see it decorated. The paper decorations are really cute. I use those silicone scrubbers with a mild soap to clean my makeup brushes. Works great. Tfs Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
I cannot live without the Missha First Essence! I'm going on 48 and I've been using it for the the last year and a half and it has done wonders for my skin! For fun, I ordered the Neogen Micro Essence from Costco Next (2 bottles for $40). I've only been using it for a couple of weeks (only in the mornings, and in the evenings I use my Missha First Essence). So far the only difference that I've notice is that the Neogen Micro Essence is not nearly as moisturizing the Missha First Essence, even after applying multiple layers of the the product. With the Missha, I could literally skip moisturizing if I wanted to. That being said, because I am not using the Neogen exclusively, I cannot tell if it's any better than the Missha, it's certainly not better at moisturizing my skin, but it probably doesn't need to be very moisturizing since I am layering it under my serum and moisturizer. Now that I've discovered K-beauty, I will never go back! My sensitive skin even loves the Korean make-up! I've mostly only dabbled in Missha brand products. Never has anyone ever complemented me on how good my skin looks or even so much as asked me what I use on my skin, until I started using Missha First Essence, Missha Time Revolution Serum, and their Super Aqua Snail Cell renewal Snail Cream! Now I know the meaning of Holy Grail ;))! I wish I would've cared enough about my skin to try this stuff sooner! Thank you! Love your videos!
I LOVE Bob's Red Mill potatoes!!! I make this potato "gravy" (accident when making mash with too much water to potato ratio). Add some granulated onion and garlic and mild curry from frontier spices and paprika and s&p to taste and put over steamed broccoli. YUM.
I’m in a middle of my 2nd bottle of Missha and I have already purchased a 3rd one. I wasn’t really sure if it’s really making my skin more even and glowy or I’m just fooling myself, but if Dr. Dray uses it too then it must be real 😁😁
Hi, keeping in mind that your comment is 2 years old, I am curious about how neogen compared to cosrx. I have been adding so many items to my cart at stylevana and want to keep the bill down.Thank you
I love your channel and look forward to new videos. You are awesome and the only youtuber I trust with my skin care! What is your take on oil sunscreens? Can you do a video on that please? Do you have any recommendation?
I am a dark skin complexion with oily skin. I want to consider using it because I currently used CeraVe moisturizer with the Olay complete broad spectrum SPF 15 sensitivity but it leaves white residue on me, I just order the CeraVe tinted moisturizer per your recommended for oily skin and hopefully that will pair better with the CeraVe moisturizing cream but if that doesn't work I wanted to consider oil sunscreens.
Dr dray has done a video on sunscreens for dark skin. Dr vanita rattan and dr alexis stephens, who both specialize in skins of color, also have videos on sunscreens. Not sure about the oil sunscreens but you might check those out.
So happy that you made this video. I've been wondering about the Neogen one for a while but I can find the Misha for 10$ CAD on sale and the Neogen one is a good 20$ more. I don't mind spending more, but it has to be worth it...
I wasn't aware of the slugging method when I had to resort to it not once, not twice but three times when I had horrific localised reactions to using BP 😖 ugh it was just awful and I had even used it on my neck only used it (epiduo) in a small line just under my jawline. Within days I was red, bright red, and my skin was super tight and itching to high heaven. I tried everything all the moisturisers I could get my hands on until several days later something in my brain clicked and I got me some vaseline. I just layered it on like it was going out of fashion - I swear it helped sooo much and provided some instant relief plus the fact it was greasy to touch it kept me from attempting to relieve the intense itch! Within a few days my skin was able to return to normal colour, less tight and itch eventually went 😌 I never want to experience THAT EVER AGAIN... Safe to say I stopped using it 😅 I was convinced that my reaction was something to be expected, you'd think I'd have learnt from the first time but no 🙄 BP is not for everyone
I know this is an older video so you may not see this. I’d love to hear you do a video on your 20 favorite skincare companies and the best and the worst product from each. You have done soooooo many videos since this. I’d like to have a video like that as a quick resource when looking for new products. 🙂
I love everything you post A fitness video of maybe your morning routine would be cool or show us your routine that you show in your intro,happy Monday or sunday for you?!
Hi Dr. Dray. I too like the Dawn Dishwashing Foam. I have a gas stove and it works amazing well to clean them. Also my range hood fan. I cook a lot because we are a multigenerational home and I’m the cook if the house. It really cuts grease effectively.

The good thing about Missha is that it is almost always on sale. I get their text messages. The 150 mL bottle lasted me 4 months. I just got the 215 mL for $30 (regular $75) plus free shipping.
I have been using Vaselin every night as the last stepp of my routine for 6 months now, around my eyes, nose, mouth and part of forehead and my skin is more smooth and moisturised during the day time. Norway is a cold place so vaseline helps a lot.
I've been obsessively debating between these too and finally purchased Missha! I just started using the Cosrx snail essence again as well and it does absolute WONDERS for my PIE.
Also I've loved watching you become such a k-beauty queen! We love to see it!
I love and use the Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence, I added that to my routine in 2016 and see a noticeable difference in my skin. My skin overall is brighter, more hydrated, products applied afterward absorb better. I put mine in a spray bottle so I can spritz with wild abandon. The formula has changed over the years. Older versions of the formula formerly licorice in addition to Niacinamide but that was removed a year or so ago. It'd be nice if it were added back to the formula, it's still my favorite Essence product though. :)
Can you share your experience with your clients right now during COVID? How are you staying safe in the office?
She seems to work exclusively from home now doing client visits via computer. I forget the name of the company she now works for, they have a large staff of Derm Docs. She is very careful about, and seldom mentions clients except in a very general sense. :-)
I goop on cereve ointment as a last step on my dry rosacea cheeks, crow feet, and neck. I never break out from it. My skin looks better in the morning adding this step on top my Ordinary buffet serum and Aveeno balm moisturizer. I recently had some irritation in the outside corners of eyes from a new product I tried. It is uncomfortable till I put this ointment on it. Major sunscreen several times a day so I don’t get pih while it heals. Learned all this from your generous teaching Doc! As always thank you!
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray. Love and well wishes to Mamma Dray and little Tybee too!
☮️❤️
I cant believe your reviewing both of these products! I use them both and can't decide which I love better so I use 1 in the morning and 1 at night!
I’ve been using Missha Time Revolution and personally, I used it as my preparation step before I putting my serum. I have a combination skin and Missha hydrates my skin and helps my skin absorbs my serums.
can u talk about the process of becoming a derm and what to expect because i want to be one when i ger older love u doctor dray
A lot of people ask this and I really want to see it too 😔
Okay. First of all, getting in and graduating in medicine is quite hard, so you should really love it in order to spend at least 8 years in college, two usmle steps to graduate and a third to get a medical license. Now, based on your scores, you may aspire to certain medical residencies, but you also need someone from the same specialty to know and support you in order to pass the interviews, especially in dermatology. Dermatology is one of the most wanted medical specialties and because of the that, the best scores and/or people who have family in the field get in.
Now, if you understand that this is not an easy way, but you love medicine, I say go for it. Just keep in mind this is a really long career to study where you will probably start making good money at your mid 30s and at least in the US, you will have a big debt to take care of while trying to be independent from your family.
Source: I'm a doctor.
Edit: not from the US, but I used their career model to explain, since I assume you’re also from the States because you’re asking an US based derm.
YES
Watch Med School Insiders on CZcams, it shows the steps you need to take to become a docter
College-> medical school (4 years) -> residency (4 years)
It isn’t to early to set up Christmas decorations they give such a good feeling!! 🎄🎁🎄⭐️
Greetings U. Charlie hope u r well n Happy Sunday😀👍💜....
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Sunday to you and take care!! Thank you!
I think a lot of people are putting up their Christmas decorations extra early this year. Given our current situation, we need a little extra happiness and joy this year. I'll be doing the same. 🎄✨🎄 Happy Sunday, Uncle Charlie!! Hope you had a beautiful day! 😊
I recently purchased the cosrx galactomyces and I love it. I think it’s a bit more affordable than the neogen and missha products. I use their aha/bha toner first (I alternate between the aha/bha and a retinol cream) and the follow them up with a cerave moisturizer and my skin has never looked better.
Happy Sunday Dr Dray! Went on a nice autumnal walk today. I love this time of year 🍂 🍁. Have a great day all 💕💕💕🇬🇧
that sounds nice! Happy Sunday!
Greetings Naddy N hope u r well n Happy Sunday😀👍💜....
@@whitneybrown4067 hi there Whitney! Thanks and have a great day 🤩🥳😎
I use the SK-II Treatment Essence. I love it for *my* skin because I've had hormonal acne along my jawline since around age 18. Only strong contraceptive pills helped (but gave me some weird psychological effects at the same time).
The hormonal acne was never really bad, but there were always a few painful lumps deep under the surface of my skin. The SK-II Essence completely rid me of those. I now may get some small pimples once in a while, but they are always topical. Not sure I have seen any brightening results from the essence, but my uneven pigmentation is definitely getting better over time when there aren't constantly deep pimples appearing somewhere.
I now wear protective gloves to fluff out Christmas tree branches. 🌲🧤👌💅
I work in a department store and last year my hands were a complete mess after assembling numerous display trees. So this year (especially using so much hand sanitizer) I wore fabric handling gloves with rubberized fingers. This made the task so much easier, faster and my hands and nails were protected. Even if you just have one Christmas tree, your hands will thank you for it later.
BTW, I love your white Christmas trees Dr Dray. I have a fun bright blue tree, which I'll put up next weekend. I also have a white tree...I am looking forward to using it to create my first Easter tree in 2021.
Two easy tricks to keep stainless looking nice, first try toothpaste, it’s a mild abrasive and made to polish as well as clean and it will make your sink look nice. You do have to dry out the sink after rinsing. Second suggestion is baking soda, sprinkle in onto wet sink, let it sit a minute then scrub gently with a sponge, rinse and wipe dry. Either option will make stainless shine without scratching. Just an aside, the baking soda will work as well or better to clean anything you would use a Comet type cleanser on and rinse away much easier.
Also, Purito is now on iherb!!
happy Sunday everyone! xo
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday Doc, I have those gloves, they’re the best.
Wanted to ask how your mom is doing,let her know we miss her and Tybee💟☮️
Hi doc! Friendly FYI ... Hobby Lobby has a holiday BIGGIE mug that reads, “FEAST MODE.” I thought of you when I saw it. ;)
Love these Versus videos 🙌🏽😘💚 Feliz Sunday Dr. Dray
Glad you like them!
Happy Sunday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Happy Sunday!
Bar Keeper’s Friend works really well to keep stainless steel sinks clean and shiny.
I've been wondering this for a couple months now. I finally landed on starting out with the Neogen and so far I'm obsessed but I'm happy to see a doctor's pov on this.
Essence actually came from the Japanese company SK II. It is not Korean in origin like you said though many kbeauty brands have tried to replicate it
I have used 4 or 5 bottles of Neogen but decided to switch to Missha based on your recommendation LOL. I have only used Missha for about one month and agree with you. Both are just as good with hydrating and brightening the skin . I prefer Neogen because the bottle is prettier and I think it is slightly cheaper
I started using the Missha essence because of your channel. Really like it and definitely noticed the brightening
Great vlog, Dr. Dray! I miss seeing your mom on your channel. I hope she’s doing well. Thanks for all you do!
Happy Sunday! Missha is still a better price point. Neogen is everywhere now.
Happy Sunday!
I'm using the PKY Essence toner. I like it better than Missha because It doesn't fall through my hands and feels good. I didn't know this was a similar product
Happy Sunday Dr. Dray! Thank you for always imparting your knowledge to us! ❤
You too!
I just clicked out of one of your older videos to watch this one. I should be working on homework instead I’m binge watching Dr. Dray 😂. Hey, at least I’m learning right? Happy Sunday!
happy studying!
Thanks again for all the info! (And yes, def enjoying this weekend of fun and fantastic-ness!)😍
Hello! I have been using the Missha essence for about 2 months. I love what is does for my skin. I purchased after a video you did which gave us a discount. I’ve had no irritation issues and find my “wiser” skin does appear more hydrated 😉! Happy Sunday! Wet Sunday in South Florida due to tropical storm Eta...🌧🌧🌧
I actually liked the Neogen essence better. I never got irritated skin with either really, but I think the Neogen was more a bit soothing. But yes they are incredibly similar I think.
I’ve only used Pyungkang and NeoGen and I love them both. I think my aging sling prefers fermented filtrates.
OMG I'm planning to buy my first essence! this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much
I use the Neogen essence. I have to use a lot of topical prescriptions for my acne (tazorac, benzoyl, glycolic acid wash, etc) and even with my super sensitive skin I love this product. I can tell a huge difference in my skin when I run out of it, I start to see dry patches of eczema around my nose and mouth and my skin feels tight and flaky. This gets rid of all of that. It's a must have if you use tretinoid and want to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
I love the Neogen. No irritation what so ever.
Hi Dr. Dray, Happy Sunday. I started using the Time Revolution when you did a video on it about a month or so ago. It irritated my skin at first, but then my skin accepted it. Within maybe two weeks, my face looked so much better. My melasma started to lighten and break apart. I did however add the Murad Aha bha wash also around the same time. I love the Time Revolution. Thanks for recommending it.
I'm Christmas decorating early too. I feel like we all could use a little extra cheer this year lol. 🎄
I received the Neogen in an Allure beauty box. Really like it. Definitely makes my skin smoother and brighter. One of the few products that made a notable difference along with the Paula’s Choice bha2%. Went on vacation without either and by the end of the week I could see my pores clogging up. Won’t go away without again.
I got the notification for this video while on my 15 minute break at work, been waiting to finally watch it all night :D
Oh the Christmas trees are beautiful and I can't wait until you decorate your ballerina tree! Maybe you can get me in the Christmas spirit. I feel as though once we are rid of this virus, I want to go back and celebrate all the holidays I missed so yes I want to wear my beautiful Halloween shirt even if it's not Halloween. I admire you for keeping with the flow despite what's going on in the world! :-)
Dr Dray: I hope you guys are having a good Sunday.
Me: * eating an iceream sundae * like yeah it's amazing! 🤣
Put sheet mask, 10-15 min, slather Vaseline over skin and lock in hydration. I have been using this method three nights a week (coz sleeping with Vaseline is annoying) and it has made a huge difference in my red acne marks. Change your pillow or put a towel..
I absolutely love my Soon Jung Relief Toner but I’ve been curious about the Neogen Essence and wanted to try it. Thanks for this video! I’ll be trying out the Neogen once I finish up my Soon Jung :)
I have not tried either product. Adding hydration is something I look for. I am excited to try both of these and see what works best for me. I do love those studs on you. You are so beautiful and they are flattering! ❤️ Suzy
I use vaseline around my eyes if I have dryness there but It does break me out if I bring It too far down on my cheeks ❤️ great vlog as always!
Hi Dr Dray - who knew I was trendy lol. I have severely dry post menopausal skin with both type 1 rosacea and eczema. I've been using a petrolatum rich cream or balm overnight as a final occlusive layer for a long time (my own version of eczema wet wrapping for the face). I find it beneficial for holding in moisture/hydration overnight. i'm currently using either the LRP Lipikar cream/balm or the Aveeno dermexa balm.
As to the Missha or Neogen essence - i've used both and liked both. The subtle difference I noted was the Missha is more hydrating and the Neogen a little more soothing. I hope that helps others to choose. Best wishes.
So just order whichever is cheaper or on sale, got it. Can’t wait for the yes style haul update!
I haven't tried either essence but LOVE the Neogen Real Ferment Serum. Hyram said he thought it was stronger than the essence. I noticed a difference in my skin texture almost immediately. Also, one point, while you might find YesStyle slow on delivery, it is not everywhere. I can get my order here in Dubai in a week so it might be the American postal system and not the fault of YesStyle. Maybe you could say, "if you are ordering from America, you might find delivery slow.." It's an incredible website! (no, I have no affiliation with them but in comparison with the prices for skin-care here, they are incredible).
I do the 'vaseline' night time thing' with eucerin aquaphor if my skin goes on the dry side, it really works
I bought some hydrating body creams from well-known brands which simply didn't work. A small bottle of Aquaphor did the job!
Hi Dr. Dray,
I am currently using the Neogen product, I LIKE it.
I love the Neogen. Thanks for uploading a comparison video.
Happy Sunday Dr Dray🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for this!! I ended up buying the Neogen Real Ferment RIGHT after watching to see if I can get on top of the dryness I experience in Michigan winters.
Am hooked on essences now! Favs: Rovectin and Missha...
Happy Sunday, Dr Dray!! I've never heard of either of these products. Interesting though. Love the studs!! Just my style. I love small, delicate jewelry pieces. Your new tree is perfect for your bedroom. Can't wait to see it decorated. The paper decorations are really cute. I use those silicone scrubbers with a mild soap to clean my makeup brushes. Works great. Tfs Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
Happy sunday dr. Keep shining bright ♥
I cannot live without the Missha First Essence! I'm going on 48 and I've been using it for the the last year and a half and it has done wonders for my skin! For fun, I ordered the Neogen Micro Essence from Costco Next (2 bottles for $40). I've only been using it for a couple of weeks (only in the mornings, and in the evenings I use my Missha First Essence). So far the only difference that I've notice is that the Neogen Micro Essence is not nearly as moisturizing the Missha First Essence, even after applying multiple layers of the the product. With the Missha, I could literally skip moisturizing if I wanted to. That being said, because I am not using the Neogen exclusively, I cannot tell if it's any better than the Missha, it's certainly not better at moisturizing my skin, but it probably doesn't need to be very moisturizing since I am layering it under my serum and moisturizer. Now that I've discovered K-beauty, I will never go back! My sensitive skin even loves the Korean make-up! I've mostly only dabbled in Missha brand products. Never has anyone ever complemented me on how good my skin looks or even so much as asked me what I use on my skin, until I started using Missha First Essence, Missha Time Revolution Serum, and their Super Aqua Snail Cell renewal Snail Cream! Now I know the meaning of Holy Grail ;))! I wish I would've cared enough about my skin to try this stuff sooner! Thank you! Love your videos!
Have a nice day everyone!!!😀
I LOVE Bob's Red Mill potatoes!!! I make this potato "gravy" (accident when making mash with too much water to potato ratio). Add some granulated onion and garlic and mild curry from frontier spices and paprika and s&p to taste and put over steamed broccoli. YUM.
I’m in a middle of my 2nd bottle of Missha and I have already purchased a 3rd one. I wasn’t really sure if it’s really making my skin more even and glowy or I’m just fooling myself, but if Dr. Dray uses it too then it must be real 😁😁
I’ve used the Time Revolution and I have the Secret Key starting treatment right now and I can’t really tell a difference except the price!
penn smith skincare recommends the secret key as an alt for the sk-ii.
Just ordered the neogen essence , can’t wait to try! The cosrx I loved ! So I’m excited to see the difference
Hi, keeping in mind that your comment is 2 years old, I am curious about how neogen compared to cosrx. I have been adding so many items to my cart at stylevana and want to keep the bill down.Thank you
I love your channel and look forward to new videos. You are awesome and the only youtuber I trust with my skin care! What is your take on oil sunscreens? Can you do a video on that please? Do you have any recommendation?
I am a dark skin complexion with oily skin. I want to consider using it because I currently used CeraVe moisturizer with the Olay complete broad spectrum SPF 15 sensitivity but it leaves white residue on me, I just order the CeraVe tinted moisturizer per your recommended for oily skin and hopefully that will pair better with the CeraVe moisturizing cream but if that doesn't work I wanted to consider oil sunscreens.
Dr dray has done a video on sunscreens for dark skin. Dr vanita rattan and dr alexis stephens, who both specialize in skins of color, also have videos on sunscreens. Not sure about the oil sunscreens but you might check those out.
I’ve been using the neogen for over a year and I love it!!! I also like the I’m from rice toner
What skintype do u have if u dont mind me asking??
@@ninalou4629 dry skin
So happy that you made this video. I've been wondering about the Neogen one for a while but I can find the Misha for 10$ CAD on sale and the Neogen one is a good 20$ more. I don't mind spending more, but it has to be worth it...
I wasn't aware of the slugging method when I had to resort to it not once, not twice but three times when I had horrific localised reactions to using BP 😖 ugh it was just awful and I had even used it on my neck only used it (epiduo) in a small line just under my jawline. Within days I was red, bright red, and my skin was super tight and itching to high heaven. I tried everything all the moisturisers I could get my hands on until several days later something in my brain clicked and I got me some vaseline. I just layered it on like it was going out of fashion - I swear it helped sooo much and provided some instant relief plus the fact it was greasy to touch it kept me from attempting to relieve the intense itch! Within a few days my skin was able to return to normal colour, less tight and itch eventually went 😌 I never want to experience THAT EVER AGAIN... Safe to say I stopped using it 😅 I was convinced that my reaction was something to be expected, you'd think I'd have learnt from the first time but no 🙄 BP is not for everyone
Congrats on 1M subscribers!! 💓
Happy Sunday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Happy Sunday
I know this is an older video so you may not see this. I’d love to hear you do a video on your 20 favorite skincare companies and the best and the worst product from each. You have done soooooo many videos since this. I’d like to have a video like that as a quick resource when looking for new products. 🙂
I love everything you post
A fitness video of maybe your morning routine would be cool or show us your routine that you show in your intro,happy Monday or sunday for you?!
Hyram really likes that Neogen essence too. 🙋♀️
I could've sworn you did a video on this just the other day omg did I imagine that 😳 ..perhaps I need to lay back on the edibles lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Dr. Dray. I too like the Dawn Dishwashing Foam. I have a gas stove and it works amazing well to clean them. Also my range hood fan. I cook a lot because we are a multigenerational home and I’m the cook if the house. It really cuts grease effectively.
Try using Apple cider vinegar to clean sink. It works amazingly with littlebit of dishwashing soap
I love the Revolution, I see a real difference and it is $10 less and they give you soo many extra travel bottles!
Where do you buy it?
Thank you for talking about slugging! I love the way you say the word greasy.. lol "greazy" hehe. Ur adorable
Lover her glowing skin
