I like Dr. Linkov. He isn't dramatic or loud. I like how pleasant his voice is. 🙂
I agree. I wish he would do books.
@@katherinea.rodgers8366 omg. That would be awesome!
His voice is everything
I flick my bean to his voice.
Yeah such a contrast to the obnoxious tone of the style theory narrator
Some people have dry skin, melasma, acne, rosacia, psoriasis, etc. And sunscreen is a must.
Looking for suggestions for low scent, non-greasy sunblock. Appreciate anyone taking the time to share brands. Thx!
Skin care is definitely not a scam. I watched his video a few days ago and thought he didn’t really understand skin care which is okay but maybe not a great thing to make a video on. I’ve tried lot of creams and serums but my go to is jojoba oil and castor oil truth is it feels like corn syrup going on until it soaks in but for me it helps. But absolutely nothing works harder than my sunscreen.
Interesting! We actually have jojoba oil in our scar gel! It's great for wound healing as well.
@@drgarylinkovthank you. Actually my boyfriend has had psoriasis since he was 10 years old. The past 5 years on tremphya has made the psoriasis completely disappear. However, from 36 years with severe psoriasis it has left scars on his arms and back. So I will check it out and after a few months if it works I will definitely let you know.
Castor oil is magic
He’s trying to say these companies sell wonders and the ingredients don’t really do much….But MatPat does tons of research and for the most part his videos are spot on…sometimes he misses something
@@shoffman4177 I enjoy his videos and he certainly does research. This video seemed to me as if he didn’t really understand what the ingredients actually do. Like how everyone doesn’t need all the things. Or understand how you have to use a product for an extended period of time to see a difference. He didn’t go into any of the actual scientific studies that discuss what works and why. In the end he was incorrect but it’s okay it was still entertaining and for me it doesn’t take away from the content he puts out that is correct.
This is absolutely not true. I am almost 50 and look at least 15-20 years younger. Sunblock and a consistent skin care routine for the past 30 years has paid off. I am living proof.
Or are you asian? haha
I was obsessed with growing my hair long for years and took biotin every day and even that makes me look 10-15 years younger than my classmates from HS
To look like 30 being 50 yrs old? Come on, don't lie to yourself
Skincare: you must keep in mind that exfoliation and moisturizing are equally important, along with sun protection, of course, I started getting serious about it a year and a half ago, and get compliments all the time now, it’s all about researching and finding what works for each person, and not going off of trends, taking note of what works best, and staying consistent.
At a certain point, Botox is a great compliment, yet a waste when started so young (hearing about 20 something’s wasting money and time on it) not overdoing it, and ensuring one goes to sleep with clean skin! Like all things, it’s well worth caring for yourself, and showing that you value yourself! Best of luck, all!
@@missheather177 Who are you hanging around that you think that is so impossible? I'm 56 and look way younger than my years because I've always taken great care of myself. When I was 40 and renting out my house, the renters thought I was barely 21. That used to happen a lot especially back then. It still happens for me, but they now think I'm in my 40's not my 20's. It happens, people actually do take good care of themselves and the reward is looking younger. You should try it instead of being so bitter and rude to those who do.
I think simple skincare is great. Also specialised skincare if you have issues like acne, eczema etc.
The rest is bullcrap and business. You can't convince me otherwise.
Take care of your health and your insides (as in your body and organs as well as your inner beauty) it will radiate on the outside.
I think he was trying to encourage people away from the 50 step skin care routine, constantly spending hundreds on products with unbelievable claims but no proof and irreputable sources. I don't think his intention was to shame anyone for using skincare. I think it should have been made clearer that at the VERY least, everyone should use a moisturizer and face cleanser. But basic ingredients are really all that's needed.
He intended well. I'm sure if he saw this video he'd agree with everything you said!
agreed
As someone who has struggled with acne, hyperpigmentation and severe eczema. Doing Skincare has saved my skin and improved my confidence.
I found an amazing skin care line at the dollar store. I use the face cream with vit c. It feels and works like the cream I used to pay $150 for. The cleanser with hyrolonic acid is as good as I've ever tried. You don't have to spend a fortune to take care of your skin. Hopefully my vintage business will pick up enough for me to buy Dr Linkov's line.
People always tell me I look like 10 or even 15 days younger 😅
They're just being nice
Oddly specific. 10 - 15 days
😂
People always say that behind a computer.lol😊
Lolllllll you go girl😂😂😂 a sense of humour keeps the heart young
I pulled the trigger on a hair transplant thanks to Dr.Linkov, his videos informed me on what surgeon/clinic to look for, and found a specialist that can work with diffuse thinning. I get it done in May and I'm super stoked.
Thank you so much Dr you provide a valuable service to those who navigate an industry that often tries to bank on the insecurities of its clients
Please let us know how it goes, good luck!!! My front hairline is thin. Dummy 20ish yr old me plucked many early grays. So now its thin & they say only transplant will help it. Ironically, I will be growing gray back if I do transplant. 😅
Skincare isn't a scam, it's just that if you're eating crap, not exercising, and drinking 5x a night every week , doing drugs and not sleeping well. . .No amount of skincare product will ever help you.
That said : Aloe Vera is probably the only product you'll ever really need.
It's a toner, a dark-spot corrector, an exfoliant, a moisturizer, all in one.
and you can make it at home.
It is strange how as humans we often look what we can buy to fix a problem we are causing. Like diet pills instead of eating better. Like stop doing shit and you won’t have to fix it. I don’t look for dark spot remover because I wear sunscreen.
@@crystalgrzelak 1000%
It's like people who have an easily fixable problem and all they have to do is make ONE adjustment, but they want to buy their way out of the problem.
@@crystalgrzelakI totally agree! It applies to mental health as well. I first started taking care of my basic needs to help my brain. Lifestyle change helped more than meds. But when I got older and I wanted better skin, better nails, better sight, etc. it always boils down to "drink water, sleep well, eat well and exercise" that I'm almost convinced all my problems will be solved if I just do those 🤣
@@hannardee drinking water makes a difference so much more than I realized before I was 40. The other day I didn’t drink enough my lips looked terrible the next day.
@@hannardee Problem is : Crap food sells well . . .Like EXCEEDINGLY well.
Sleep habits come from good work habits. . . .Procrastination and a lack of self-governance is popular even among those without ADHD.
and as for exercise. . .Well, people typically don't like that.
Exactly. Just buy the bare minimum. That’s the great conclusion of this video.
This man's face & voice are so attractive. Thanks for the informative vids, doc!
I assume not all skincare is. Sun cream for example
Watch the vid! I agree
@@drgarylinkovok Dr ❤
@@drgarylinkovI need a daily sunblock for face that isn't greasy or has overwhelming scent. My skin is oily. Looking for suggestions please!! Thank you!
OKAY MOUSTACHE!!!!!
As IM getting older I have even stopped washing my face everyday… When I do Im using warm water… I use retinol cream and castor oil, then redlight tx
Same 🙌🏽
Same here. I'm still on the oily side so sometimes I use light soap on forehead/t-zone. Use retinol as well, sooo important.
Another great video! Can you do maybe an analysis on Jordan Barrett's face and what procedures he may have had. I think that would be very popular and interesting to watch.
Thank you for sharing your expertise.. love your content👍
You are the perfect combination of relaxing and interesting to listen to.
Hi Gary. There are many incredible skincare products on the market. I tend to stick to tried and true ingredients that are physician recommended or those that are developed by a Dr or skincare expert. I don't take the word of celebrities that go on to develop their own lines. Not for me.
I'm a die hard Tretinoin fan, have been since my 20s. I'm 64 now, and don't have many static wrinkles. I incorporate Vitamin C, and a daily SPF of 50 is an absolute must. Exercise, foods, and genetics also play a big part in skin aging.
I'm not shelling out $350 for a jar of LaMer moisturizer.
I use a regular towel every night to dry my face. No breakouts, LOL.
I'll definitely be sticking to science based studies to base my product purchases on, especially if 3rd party testing is involved.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Can this man be a therapist, bro has such a calming demeanor
The best thing to use is sunscreen! Thoroughly cleaning your face, using a toner for you skin type and a moisturizer for your skin age! What worked for me at 30 isn't working at 79.
What sunscreens do people like? I need one that's good for face and not too greasy or smelling like I'm going to the beach. 🥥
Skin care is so personal. For me, sunscreen, a face wash and a moisturizer. Im lucky and have good genes. My parents are 70 and look great, and theur parents also aged well. Besides that im very suspicious of anything thing that make big claims. There is that saying... If its too good to be true, it probably is.
But yeah, so many beauty influencers have a 14 step skin care routine.
U look great with the hair as well doc!
Please do a show on your feel confident products .
Yeah, in need of non oily or pore clogging low scent sunblock.
I have never thought that I would see Matpat on this channel 😂
Love your voice, super chill
Love the stache, you are starting to look like a circus lion tamer. Or a Victorian era villain.
I’ve used skincare and sunscreen since 20, I’m almost 28 now. I look younger facially and hair wise I believe, due to vitamins and minerals I take, fish oils, collagens etc. it does work. Sunscreen surely.
@Doctor Gary Linkov I need a small clarification. Skin needs: cleanser, HA to hydrate, moisturizer & sunscreen. Aren’t hydration and moisturizer redundant? U said moisturizer is needed to prevent or counteract dry skin. But if your skin is already hydrated, it shouldn’t be dry, right? Help me out??
Note: only explanation I can think of is altho HA will make your skin moist and supple, it’s not long lasting. So moisturizer is needed to retain and/or improve soft skin.
Your explanation is pretty accurate. HA hydrates the skin by attracting moisture while moisturizing is often times thicker to seal in moisture and last longer. I could be wrong but this is what I’ve learned watching hours and hours of skincare content.
Your skin can be hydrated initially with moisturizer, but if your skin tends to get dry throughout the day, then it needs something like HA to maintain that moisture. It’s like dehydration and it simply needs a lil more moisture. If you don’t want to use an HA serum, you can find a moisturizer that has it or is targeted for more hydration!
@@Teewaggy ohh…I had it backwards. At least I was close. 😉
You would apply HA first and then follow with a moisturizer. HA attracts water, so the idea is when it gets absorbed into the skin it then attracts water to the skin, moisturizer adds an extra layer of moisture but also seals it in. I always recommend a moisturizer rich in ceramides to restore the skins lipoproteins.
I was looking at your website hoping to get an idea of how much it would cost to get a brow transplant. I lost mine, never plucked. I have done microblading in the past. Pls advise
Of course not a scam
Thought on Dr Sheree’s Idriss saying HA is actually drying? And how the claims about HA products make no sense because of the size of the molecules?
Yes this is correct. Low molecular HA is more easily absorbed by the skin and such is more hydrating. She also says that if you use several products containing HA then that is where the problem really lies.
YES! I thought about that too. I feel Dr. Idriss is right about this. And she did test with the lip baum. We need her to get with Dr. L.
I hope that this does not offend anyone. It is just a personal observation . I am almost 48, mom just turned 71. Both sides of my family are genetically blessed with no weight issues. There seems to be a definite connection with lifetime weight maintenance and youthful facial and body appearance. It makes sense to me, especially after my recent 30th HS reunion. I was shocked at how heavy and old my classmates appeared. I was asked if I had at the very least used botox and taken Ozempic to get ready for the event. I never have, however I do not rule out cosmetic surgery if it would make me feel better with myself. Very personal decisions. The cosmetic industry absolutely uses deceptive marketing.
Once the skin is stretched only a very competent good plastic surgeon can repair it. Simply something to add to our anti- aging arsenal. Keeping our weight stable does appear to be an incredibly difficult feat for so many. Possibly proper health & eating habits should be taught as early as pre- school.
Skincare isn't inherently a scam, but there are many brands with overblown claims and a lot of pseudoscience with no actual research to back it up (collagen products even though collagen cannot penetrate the dermis, fearmongering about "microtears" all because of a lawsuit that got tossed out of court for having no evidence or scientific backing, etc). I think everyone can benefit from a good moisturizer that suits their skin type, a good sunscreen for daily use, and whatever medicated products they may need to treat specific issues like acne, rosacea, eczema, etc. But as skin care has become trendier and more popular with mainstream young folks, there really is a ton of misinformation and senseless consumerism going on. Even if you have a 15-step routine that you and your skin absolutely love, it's likely those positive results are mostly a byproduct of 3 or 4 really well formulated, simple products in there vs the 10 or 12 serums you put on top of them.
I don’t think skin care is a scam per se… but there are a lot of marketing claims that can make things sound better than they are (thus charge a premium). That’s why I’ve really come to appreciate The Ordinary, as I can pick and choose specific ingredients I want (Vitamin C, peptides, retinol, and of course sunscreen). And, it’s really affordable that I can get Botox, as opposed to spending $400+ on a skin care regimen that can only claim to get rid of fine lines 😂
If people remembered that cosmetics act on the epidermis and address more superficial issues, they would understand that even that ultra-expensive "phenomenal lifting" brand won't replace a procedure. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the process; take the moment to relax, and when the time comes, go for the real lift (surgical) 🙃
I really hope every person that might have watched the original video sees this too! He’s doing the same exact thing, just saying things without data
I love your little mustache
I have a question, what is the benefit of using a face wash and not a simple bar soap?
My friend carries a charcoal facewash and refuses to use bar soap so I am just confused, like, Ive always used soap, im 25 and i feel like soap was enough.
Maybe it's just a personal thing. For example, soap dries my skin way too much, to the point it becomes stiff.
Soap on my own face is way too harsh and unless you’re moisturizing after it’s really just stripping away too much if you’re not giving it back. My skin is also sensitive so fragrance in bar soap is not something I need in that area
Face wash typically use more pH balanced surfactants like SLSA or SCI which has a pH of around 5 dissolved in water. This closely matches the skin's natural pH level, so it doesn't disrupt the acid mantle. The acid mantle is the skin's first line of defense against bacteria such as the one that causes acne.
Soaps or harsher surfactants such as SLS tend to have a more basic pH which does tend to disrupt the acid mantle on a lot of people. And they can experience more breakouts from that.
But it's different for everyone. If you feel bar soap doesn't really affect your skin, there may be no point in switching. People with more sensitive skin though will probably be better off with face wash.
The kid is absolutely cringe. His conspiratorial view towards the industry (and the whole scientific field behind it) is a giant red flag of his naïveté towards the field. It’s a common pattern with these types: they become overwhelmed due to their lack of know-how and science literacy so they avoid everything all together as a fool-proof solution to avoid getting scammed.
Also his whole “idk all the name of these chemicals” line of reasoning is so f’ing infuriating to listen. If you are overwhelmed by them, it’s YOUR problem. YOU are projecting your lack of knowledge to the industry. A quick search, even on Wikipedia, will tell you what they are. It’s not that hard.
One thing I agree is that a lot of cosmetic products, especially the dumb (sorry for my wording) beauty influencers tend to overpromise their benefits and worse, mislead their audience with monkey-brain logic and anecdotal claims.
is your skin care only available in the USA???
My sister in law says she’s not happy if she walks past a building site and nobody whistles at her. We are around 60! Oh please…
Really? Wow!
Hard to believe but I’ve had to shush for sake of brother… can you imagine wanting so much attention 😬
Yes, efficacy study data please!
What is your take on hormonal acne at almost 40 from getting of BC? My skin was very nice and smooth now it's not. Prob too many products now??
The estrogen in combination birth control inhibits acne formation and smooths the skin. I also have hormonal acne, which I've cleared up fairly well with a few prescription creams. What products are you using?
@@ifmusicbethefoodofloveplay2290 I got off of it on December last year but my acne got so so so bad I decided to get back on it maybe two months ago a long with low dose spironolactone:
Wash is a sulfur wash derms prescribed as well as a topical clindamycin
Toner is a witch hazel spray
Serum has vit c, turmeric, collagen a long with a retin a
Then I have my lotion I use day and night which is CeraVe.
If my skins super dry which is rarely I have a molecules oil I got from ulta
@@ifmusicbethefoodofloveplay2290 I forgot to mention I don't wear any foundation either. If I have some monsters that are very red I'll put a little tinted moisturizer from tarte on them to make them not as red
I'm 40 & also have hormonal acne because of my PCOS. I take Spironolactone (a prescription), & it cleared up 90% of my acne.
@@QuinnCloudz I had a similar experience. Spironolactone coupled with tretinoin cleared my skin like 99%. Occasionally I would get a small pimple, which would heal quickly and not leave a scar anymore. I had to stop due to a side effect (nothing serious), but there are several effective creams. Now I use the Rx Plexion cleanser, topical dapsone, Winlevi, and tazarotene, and my skin is quite clear. Hormonal acne is usually not too responsive to over-the-counter topicals, so I would go to a dermatologist if you can, @fifferoni12 Hope that helps!
I like Matt, but this video from him was such disappointment. Especially since it was his last before retirement.
It’s embarrassing really
My late 30’ s skin says NO, *active ingredients are not a scam* . I' m 50 yo and I share her opinion 100%.
Some ridiculous obscenely overpriced high end products are a scam. And those who buy this stuff are dermato-illiterate individuals, packaging magpies and placebo lovers😅.
Hi, Dr. Gary, a couple questions/thoughts.
1. I was watching a yt video the other day about the rise of "Sephora tweens", baby Botox, etc. What, if any, skincare should kids be doing?
2. I'd definitely be interested in trying out some of your skincare, and am super excited it's leaping bunny certified, but I've never seen it in stock. I mean this with the most polite, constructive criticism, but why promote your line in almost every video when it's very rarely in stock? Could we at least get a date estimate? To be clear, I watch most, but not every single one of, your videos so maybe I missed the date somewhere along the way.
3. Is it honestly, truly bad to use just soap on your face? Like good, handmade, cold process soap? Like what Will a facial cleanser do for me that regular good quality soap won't?
If kids are outside playing, swimming in chlorinated pools, exercising, etc. it would be fine for them to use a gentle face cleanser. Sunscreen is definitely a must too.
Soap is pretty harsh on the face, as facial skin is a lot more sensitive than the skin on the body, which is why the face is usually a problem area for people. Normal soap is usually too harsh or drying for the face, but great for the body.
And like adults, if children have specific problems like dry or sensitive skin, a moisturizer is also always helpful, obviously haha.
There is a reason why 50s yr old is now the new 40 yrs. Science has come very far and that includes skincare. We have learned from past mistakes and have found things to improve skincare. I have friends in their 50s that look in their 30s. We are more aware of the sun especially. SPF has been our savior. There is a reason I don’t look like Edith Bunker who was in her early 40s when the show began. We just need to have awareness and know that not all 200 dollar bottle might work for you. It can be that 20 dollar bottle.
Hi sir, can pls telme about stemcell therapy god for my bald🙏
I have marcs from mi acné, how i can make them dissapear?
Srry mi writing is so bad im from Spain xd
Btw i love your videos❤
I’m trying to get a hair transplant for the front of my head. I’ve been on fin + minox for years and I am no longer having any gains. The hair that did come back stronger only grows to a length of about an inch and it is way less dense than the other areas of my scalp. I am afraid that if I get a transplant the will have to transplant the new hairs in between these minoxidil dependent hairs which will still leave me with a weird thin hair look due to half of my hairs being miniaturized while the transplanted hairs will not have a great result due to the other areas of my scalp being taken by my miniaturized hairs. Is there any way to remove these hairs entirely during the procedure so I can fit twice as many grafts? Could I just ignore these and they would die off since they are weaker? Should I stop minoxidil for a while before the procedure? I’m at a loss here and don’t know what to do. Would appreciate any advice.
Embrace the bald.
Ok, but WHEN can we get your products? Their are sold out!
Style Theory is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We all need cleansers and SPF at the very least, and there are a plethora of evidence-based formulations that correct skincare concerns. What an ignorant take.
You remind me of the Girl with a pearl earring painting.
Skincare is a broad word. There are many different products of varying quality and ingredients.
For me it depends on the products. Something like La Mer, I can see an amazing difference in my skin. But even with certain drug store product, I can still see a noticeable difference after using, too.
It doesn’t have to be a skincare routine with 20 steps, however some people who have 20 step skincare routines probably do have beautiful looking skin.
It can be just a few steps as long as the products are good/work well for you.
Big regret in my own skincare is that of course I had some severe sunburns as a kid, with blistering and had to get prescribed Silvadene.
More recent regret is that I noticed more lines after a period of last 3 years when I was intensely on my phone every day and night. I think the blue light from my phone negatively impacted my skin. Because my face was right in front of it all the time. I now use a face cream that claims to protect from blue light. I don’t know if it is effective, but I wish I had tried to do something earlier in regard to phone screen light.
Also some problems with my hair in the last few years, wonder if any connection to phone screen light with that, too
The maker of the original video sounds like Jiminy Glick
I use to have bad acne and boils on my face. Bought tons of products, even had acutane as a teen. Today, I wash with water only and scrub with a microfiber cloth and my acne is gone.. I can even go days without cleaning no problem, yes days. I think my carnivore/keto diet played a part as well because if I break the diet and eat a lot of carbs I will have a few pimples.
Thanks for sharing!!
That's awesome, thanks for sharing. I think the carnivore,/ketovore diet heals SO many diseases and conditions. I'm a ketovore as well.
@@solagratia8573Does provide a steady flow of daily energy. Notice my stress is lower, anxiety is lower and mood stability. So you might be right.
Its also the easiest diet to have visible abs when integrated with 12-18hr fasting. No need to count calories, which I hate doing.
I would love very much to to hear your thoughts on chemicals to avoid. Products claiming to be Natural but have Formaldehyde, Ethanolamines, BHA, BHT, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. People need to be more aware of unsafe chemicals in beauty products. People don’t know how to determine what is safe and what is a waste of money. They definitely don’t know about Pubmed and looking up peer reviewed papers.
This video made me get up and wash my face 😂 but some former friends of mine was tryin to say that us being Black meant that “shea butter was enough since the sun loves us” and how sunscreen has “harmful chemicals” but like…😅 no 😂 we still need it, even if we have more/the most amount of melanin; and if that’s what stopping you; go ahead and grow your own food too cause diet plays a part in skin health!
I am 24, but look 15 - 20 years younger ......
Lolll
Well now they are saying Beef fat rules for wrinkles….yeah💪
Thank you for reviewing this Dr Gary. I feel like this guy's Channel is highly condescending toward the consumer, probably the majority of us all commenting on here. I find his explanation of "facts" to be fairly insufficient and are highly biased due to the narrative he is trying to spin. Kinda annoying to be honest. All I know is that I study ingredients well. I have perfected a skin care routine that works for me. I will be 40 in Nov and I look 25, apparently. Yes there will always be gimmicks and nothing is always guaranteed. ultimately it comes down to being happy in yourself. If a product gives you that well good! We all need more happiness as the world isn't exactly all sunshine and roses. OMG sorry for the rant. He really bugged me 🤣
Nice moustache!
Doctor, your own website features a woman pouring the HA serum on her face in the same manner you mock in this video! And I hate to tell you this, but you've formulated your moisturizer with certain proven skin irritants: Lavandula Angustifolia, Citrus Aurantium, Jasmine oil, Sandalwood oil, Linalool. Very disappointing.
He is 37 years old, so I think he's right that he should be getting involved in skincare xD
Thanks for another fun to watch and helpful video.
Regarding the original video from the The Style Theorists channel?
Oh dear.
If there's a Hell, one must listen to the voice in the video for all eternity.
9.2 out of 10 on the annoyance scale.
Tiresome puns. mixed with affected attempts at cuteness and wittiness.
Reminds me of a line from the Rod Stewart song, "You're In My Heart"
- "Her adlib lines seemed well rehearsed"
Where is the comment that is gonna tell this doctor that "everything is a chemical" ....
Pretty much everything makes me break out except noxema
Hi Doc Gary would you to react Ghost Doctor in South Korea by Dark Asia with Megan.
thanks elige.
Dr. I love your clear smooth skin. I think you look best without mustache bc it takes away from you clear smooth face . Please cover skin products to help 45-55 skin transition. I am seeing my skin changes . Any creams or must I do more invasive
I love this particular video, Dr. Gary, but I believe your products are probably fantastic. Unfortunately, I cannot afford them. I’m 77 and I want my face to feel moisturized and soft. The wrinkles are from my age and there’s nothing I can do about that and that’s OK because I’m not overly wrinkled. I need a recommendation from a pro of an over-the-counter moisturizer. It’s probably not right for me to ask you because you have your own products, but I thought I’d give it a try.
I just realized, that’s that’s not a right thing to ask you. I need to find a moisturizer with the proper ingredients in it which ingredients I don’t want to be in it. Anyway, thank you very much for reading this.
I'd recommend a quality drug store brand like Cerave. Beware of Neutrogena; some of their SPFs contain the "preservatives" (I call them skin poisons) Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT).
Watch Dr. Dray's videos for affordable great drug store skin care products.
@@rosanneschwab4996 Thank you. I’ll look for that on his channel here.
@@rosanneschwab4996
Agree!
If I get a snack in a promo package, I can try it and let people know right away if I like it or not. If I get skin care and I try it for a day or two and then go tell people how great it is, that's BS. Skin care products take time to have any kind of effect. Yes, you can say it smells good, but how it works, no.
It's not a scam I love my skincare products dermalogica the best all I use !
Can you do what happened to Kylie Jenners face?!?
so what skin care is the bare minimum u need
Botox / Filler. Only procedures that actually make a difference
I mean for me i just double cleanse so oil cleanser first then foam wash, second toner, third vitamin C serum then moisturizer with sunblock. On special days i use the pimple patches and Vit C or A facemasks from Japan.
I can see where this is going
Matt's an og youtuber. I would imagine his pessimism is really directed towards beauty content creators specifically and the products influencers shill out .but he's overgeneralizing and saying it's the entire industry
People always tell me i look about 30 years younger than my age. Im 53 but I been told I look about 23...lol😂
I am sure you look extra good. But 23...impossible. Unless on social media pictures with a heavy filter. Or on blurry pictures with a certain angle. But in those cases is that really us? I don't think so
Next react to Sans is actually Ness
I saw this one, it’s hogwash. I have pretty good skin. My derm recommended vit C for my melasma. It’s worked a treat - that and using sunscreen, moisturizer and washing w: salicylic acid a couple of times a week.
Is that a mustache????❤❤❤❤
cleanse, moisturize, SPF before stepping outside. exfoliate twice a week, a few days apart. come back in 20+ years to this comment & thank me then
I do believe in retinoids, niacinamide, hyluronic and subblock. The rest are just expensive trash
Skincare *is* a scam.
I know because I have eczema, tinea versicolor, and other issues. I tried a myriad of diets in my 20s to gain control of my health, because doctors just made me sicker and sicker from infancy into my 20s.
When I was 30 I tried carnivore diet for the first time, and after 3 months I added fasting, too. Before I even added fasting, my eczema completely went away and the tinea versicolor was showing signs of minimizing. My skin started to look near perfect! I even gradually started to look a little tan instead of perpetually pale all the time. Any hint of redness or acne all over my entire body disappeared.
For the first time since I started shaving my legs and armpits as a teenager, I could shave without ANY irritation, ingrown hairs, itching from the hair growing back, etc. And I could shave about every other day with zero negative impact. Whereas before I would shave once a week at the most, and my eczema would still rage, itch, scab, burn, etc.
On top of it, a couple moles and skin tags started to fade and/or fall off, which is a great perk! No need for a dermatologist, or even any skincare besides gentle exfoliation every few days or so. My skin became soft, moisturized, clear, and even in color! Carnivore diet was the best diet I've ever come across and I still swear by it.
I fell off the wagon a few years ago owing to stress, difficulty finding good quality beef after my local butcher shop's quality started to suffer, and personal issues that led me to return to stress eating. But I'm getting back into carnivore diet and my prior good health is already returning!

Devil's advocate here. The theme of the Style Theorists seems to be don't be taken in by FOMO, influencers (there's a reason people who hang on influencers every word are called "followers", they could just as easily be called "lemmings"), fancy packaging and promises made with little to back them up. The takeaway is do some investigation about these products before you decide to spend big $. If people actually looked at the kilogram price rather than per 100 mil price they would likely be shocked.
Example of influencing: Many people flocked to ProActive because Kyle promoted it but what really kept her acne under control? The specialists she was seeing because if ProActive were that good there would be no more people with acne.
Style Theorist clearly didn't have a target audience of dermatologists and plastic surgeons in mind when making this video.
I have combination skin. Oily T zone, and dry. I tried a lot of things throughout my teens and early 20s, but nothing really worked well after a while.
What I've been using for some years now has been tallow as moisturizer. I don't really use a cleanser, just cold water in the morning, lukewarm water in the evening. I've tried lots of cleansers, even the kind that claim it won't leave your skin dry, and they all dry out my skin. I do have a cleanser that I like best, and I will use it on the occasion that I wear some eye makeup and lipstick that I need to remove well. I don't wear makeup otherwise.
I very occasionally like to use finely ground cornmeal with honey to gently scrub my face, but honestly I don't feel it does much, it's just the feeling of the skin being extra smooth after :)
This has been working for me so far. I haven't found a good sunscreen yet that has clean ingredients and doesn't feel gross on my skin (including the skin on the rest of my body, not just face) or that doesn't break me out. So I stay out in the sun for a while, and cover up afterwards with longer sleeves and a sunhat. I don't really burn, I just tan, but I know I need to cover up after a while.
But by far, what I believe has helped my skin the most has been diet and lifestyle. Cutting out processed sugar, reducing my intake of grains, and making sure I work out regularly, sleep well, reduce stress, and ensure my digestion is good. All that helped clear up my skin quite well. I still get an occasional breakout or a few pimples, especially around my menstrual cycle. But nothing like I used to have in my early 20s. I just still have some darker spots where I had pimples.
I shall never listen to 25 year old straight guy who isn't affected by female beauty standards with too many opinions about matters he doesn't quiet get for skincare and beauty advice
This guys claims that they are studies for these and yet he doesn’t drop the source. He likes “trust me bro” This Dr is bs.
Have you thought of adding melatonin to your hair foam?
lol so he can sleep? Or did you mean melanin?
@@helpandbehelped research topical melatonin and hair loss
I can't get past this guy's phone cartoon voice. Yikes
This is probably a great video but I cannot stand the voice of the guy in the video being critiqued! Stopped watching early...uugghh.
Botox is the only thing for wrinkles, thank you Dr Linkov
Do you think your skincare range will survive over 2 years?
The tone of this video feels very defensive xD
Horrible thumbnail...why😮
Lmfao I had to click off the video to look. I honestly thought this video was going to be about those clay masks.
😂
Is this video YOUR reaction to last week's comment wherein I stated how I was disappointed that you were hawking skin creams? I said that I held you to a higher standard, because, if you recall, last year you gave one oy comments a HEART because I noted how you put down a product merchandiser rather than cash in on the opportunity tacitly offered. Did I tickle your sense of professionalism? BTW - as soon as I see the word SERUM on any OTC skin product, I know it's fake. Skin care (apart from sunblock) has been fake since the time of Cleopatra.....and she used arsenic, for cryin' out loud.
