What about Vichy?
@@anemul123 Vichy, La Roche Posay, Skinceuticals and Cerave are all brands of the L’Oréal Group. Specifically their "dermatoloigcal beauty" division. I'd expect/suspect they share research outcomes and resources.

Going over Ali's skin care routine
Wow, you gave up just 8 minutes in? Must be a really interesting video... :)
Thankyou
I just like watching Dr Usama Sayed while talking because he emanates positive vibes! He is so calm , humble and most importantly intelligent of course . I hope all doctors to be like him🤗🤗🤗
It took me months of research and refining to arrive at my current skin care routine. And to my delight, I am already doing EXACTLY what is advised by Dr. Usama Syed. This interview would’ve been helpful back then! Great video
Can you please tell us your skincare routine
Yea what gives why didnt you post your skin care routine
@@MarcusAurelius12as a stoic dermatologist from Denmark I would encourage acquiescence to the tips recommended by my colleague from another mother/continent 🙂
Best return on investment (ROI):
#1-2 DAILY Moisturizer w SPF30+ (my current favourites are Cerave AM or Dermaknowlogy SPF50 ) in the morning. If you live in a sunny area with a high UV-index I would recommend application twice in the morning: First straight after your morning shower (or just a bit of water to the face) between toothbrushing or perhaps after lunch. This was tested in Denmark on a sunny day on the beach (N=40sh as I recall, so not a lot, but still a very convincing study) by colleagues from Bispebjerg Hospital including Heerfordt et al . .... remember vitamin D supplementation if you use it year round!
#3 Retinoid PM (tretinoin, adapalene, trifarotene) ... be aware that your skin needs some weeks to get used to the retinoid and I usually recommend application every 3 days for 2-4 weeks, then every other day for 2-4 weeks and then daily if tolerated.... expect some irritation in the form of redness and scaling. DON'T APPLY every day in the first month even though you feel nothing is happening.
(#4 Procedures: fractional CO2 laser every few years or fillers/Botox are also worth looking at ... some days of downtime/visible (intentional) skin damage to increase collagen production! Hope this works for you ... but #1-2 are essential from a young age!
This was so helpful. I am only now getting into skincare because I had friends who had very long skincare routines. It is good to know that the foundation is very simple and not time consuming. I am now following the tier 1 (3 steps). Thanks!
I always come back to this video when I try to venture out in the world of skincare haha!
Thanks for keeping it real!
Great video Ali !! You’ve definitely chosen the right guy to interview. Clear, detailed, honest, & informative. Very practical, actionable advice from a dermatology professional. Grateful for your contribution.
This interview changed my whole perspective of skin care. Kudos to both of you and a big thank.
Brilliant interview! Each word spoken is to the point with no BS.
Thank you Dr Usama for sharing his knowledge, and Ali for creating this video! 😊 I’m getting insights that would not have been known unless I visit a dermatologist
Love this interview. Informative and entertaining. Just wanted to watch 5 min or so, but ended up watching the whole thing. 😁
all the information you need to start a good routine, condensed to under one hour. great interview.
wow, the way Dr Usama talks with so much grace and confidence
Think that must've taken a lot of editing from Ali and his team to give that impression 🤣
Levels of skin care - 17:38
Thanks, it helped the confused me to sort things out and not only that since your video my skin feels much better.
this is the most amazing podcast i heard on low cost science based skin care
Great video ! I wish you also covered male pattern baldness, minoxidil fin and microneedling
Very informative dialogue
My skincare journey begins, even if it's a bit late!
down to earth and practical. Thanks
Love the blunt truth! I hate all the marketing fluff.
I do believe using a cleanser is essential when wearing sunscreen cuz, nowadays, most sunscreens are waterproof, and sometimes a gentle cleanser is not enough to remove them. I even use makeup remover when I put on those extremely waterproof sunscreens.
it's really a great video with great information .. big thanks for you both💚 , but can you please add division to the video so we can capture the question before seeing the take
Great content! Very insightful. Better late than never. Would love a similar video on hair care!
Kind of interested on your opinions of endocrine disruptors in skincare products (but specifically in sunscreens).
I watched the whole thing. Brilliant interview - I am well-versed in skincare but still learned new things. A big thanks to Dr. Usama Syed, too! To Team Ali: I very much enjoy how you explore more and more topics but do it in a well-researched manner.
Hello cute chinese girl
So glad for this video. Ali once again improving my quality of life. Just 1 thing would have been better to add the links for the products osama was saying will be in the bio but aren’t.. eltamd tinted sunscreen and differin retinol gel and eryfotona actinica

Really excellent video. Learned a lot and both of you have wonderful personalities.
You guys rock :D! Thank you so much for educating us clueless consumers! :)
Amazing talk I've heard in a while about skincare.
Great video! Thank you
I was really waiting for a video like this😢♥️♥️♥️
thank you for a very informativ video dr :) love it
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
I have a genetic hair disease and I had to go to a dermatologist with a university research hospital to make sure they had the skill sets to handle it, since so much of dermatology seems to be cosmetic.
This vid is a therapy for all. I’m a Dr Syed’s devotee… but where is the Aveeno he recommended which I use as my cleanser and moisturiser. 😂 in addition, I use Vaseline jelly as my eye cream. Also Altruist Sun is my choice of sunscreen . #ForeverSkincareRoutine #NoFastBeauty #NoSkincareFOMO #Minimal
Great video :) Was hoping though for some information and product recommendations not just for the face, but for the rest of the body too.
Hey Ali, thanks a bunch for your awesome content! Would you mind creating a video about evidence-based treatments for male pattern baldness?
Super interesting! For the tretinoin routine, do you suggest to use it just in the winter/autumn time or even in summer? Some People stop it or reduce it in summer time. When you start for the first time tretinoin, do you suggest to use it all days or for the first month just once a week, and then move your way up: second month twice a week and so on? I live in Italy and here we have a procuct called "tretinoina same". Thank you, awesome channel!
Thank you so much for the info! something you did not address.. what about working out? how do we incorporate the routine? should I clean my face with water during the workout? I usually breakout after workouts even if i cleanse before and after.
Unfortunately, Differin is around $80 here in Australia and is prescription only. I did start off with that and it was great, but have now progressed to a prescription Tretinoin. I plan to continue this for the rest of my life. Great video. Thank you.
Damn. That's expensive. It's about 30 dollars where i am (Kenya).
I'm in Australia and just bought Differin for $34 at iHerb
I don't know about scientific facts and research, but I have to admit that simple 15% urea cream allowed me to get rid of redness on my dry skin. The color of my skin if… flawless, toned almost perfect. Do you have any opinion regarding urea apart from its positive impact on the dryness and thickness of the skin?
Can you do a vid on beard care? This is super helpful for skin but anything extra to add for beards? Thank you
Yes, while commenting on Ylang-ylang, Dr Usama did just quote Moto Moto from the movie Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa by saying "It sounds nice, you gotta say it twice"😂😂😂 I would definitely trust him with my skin just for this hahaha!
Hello Ali, it’s very helpful. Just wanted to ask would these products be any different if it was for a female or it works well for both. Thanks
Where can I find Dr. Usama Syed's recommended products mentioned in the video?
Can you do one on hair?
Differin in Mexico is almost 50 dollars per tube ! Expensive, but it works!
His voice reminds me of Jay Shetty 🙃 I was initially just hearing the audio, while doing something else and thought you were speaking with Jay lol
Thanks..
Can I use Vitamin C serum in the morning then Retinol in the evening?
Dr. Syed has such a soothing voice, wow.... And l like his voice compared with his accent a lot 😄
By the way, at the AM l use a cleanser, vitamin c serum, alpha arbutin and sunscreen. At the PM, a cleanser, 2x a week a retinoid, 2x lactic acid, and then a moisturiser. I love my routine 😊
Ali definitely edited my voice, it's nowhere near this soothing in real life... just ask my wife!
Thank you 😄
where do you stand on Cetaphil products? In South Africa, we do not have all of the Cerave products, just the basic moisturize and cleansers. The other products mentioned are also not available here.. :)
Cetaphil is very similar to Cerave and the other brands he recommended. I highly doubt he would have anything bad to say about them
can u make a video on hair routine please
Every product recommended from this video and the skincare routine video, and Dr. Usama Syed's channel, are not available in Europe
Anyone else think Ali’s skin was looking particularly buttery in this vid? 🤔😂
Good vid. As evidence increases with the use of topical retinoids. What is the go with topical retinoids and pregnancy?
does anyone know what glasses brand Ali is wearing? been trying to look for the brand
Squalene is basically shark oil which causes loads of shark killings. Please bare in mind to what extend you need to use this type of ingredients, felt this is worth mentioning.
Most of Squalene now are derived from Plants
Some brands have vegan squalene fortunately.
You can get it from olives. Not necessarily sharks.
There is a difference between squalane and squalene, and there are vegan/cruelty free options nowadays!
CeraVa is it a good product it’s always rated as poor or bad on the Yuka app but Cetaphil is always great 👍🏻
what about benzoyl peroxide for acne?
I wouldn't use Neutrogena, tons of there products get recalled and quite a few were found to be unsafe after further testing
I was wondering why there's no mention of serums
Great video! Would you recommend a facial cleanser like Anthony Glycolic Facial Cleanser?
what about dark eye circles? what is the best solution?
wow!
Wonder which EltaMD sunscreen Dr Syed uses? Also: aren’t synthetic sunscreens generally better at protecting at UVAs given their higher UVA-PF values? Especially now with LRP UVMUNE sunscreens
Depends which country they're from, EU and AUS inorganic suncreens are much better than US ones
Most people care about what chemicals they are putting on their skin ... I would have liked to know some natural alternatives
😍
I am surprised you didn't recommend any Asian, Australian or European sunscreens. The chemical filters available outside are significantly better than those available in the USA.
He works In the us, i wouldn’t think he’s familiar with external brands
Surprised to hear he mixes his retinoid with his moisturizer as that would lead to a “spottier” application. Putting on the retinoid first and then the moisturizer second would ensure that you’d get as even an application as possible
I hear this a lot - it's basically overcomplicating a very simple topic. Retinoids aren't a 'spot treatment' that need precise application. They have a cumulative effect, so if your moisturizer combo makes it 'spotty' one day and misses one area, it's just as likely to catch that other area more the next day. I think it's a classic example of skinfluencers making something very simple seem tough with pseudoscientific problems... but that's just my two cents.
@@usamasyed The concern is more that the moisturiser can cause the emulsion to break, leaving small patches of tretinoin at a higher concentration than it would normally be, which could cause irritation. But I think you're right that this is more of a theoretical concern than an observed one.
To me, while that would be technically true, it’s a minor and nit picky issue akin to the idea that we must all moisturize our skin in upright hand motion as opposed to bringing things down and helping gravity sag the skin. I highly doubt such differences in method would go beyond a negligible outcome.
Wheres the Vlog gone?!
Cleanser is a must for everyone who uses makeup or works outside. He was downplaying it too much.
Also sunscreen, the water resistant ones adhere pretty strongly to the skin, doesn't feel very nice going to bed with all that still on your face and could cause clogged pores, especially if you're a front sleeper
Essential if you suffer from hayfever too
Agreed. The pollution …..
Agreed, and I'm also quite in awe at how much they just skimmed over the "dangers" when it comes to retinoids. I think it's absolutely insane to go "yeah I recommend a retinoid and you should use it" and keep it at that.
They are amazing, but if you're not careful with them they will mess your skin up and you'll ruin your skin barrier. You have to wean into it really slow, it takes months to go up. And some people just really can't handle retinoids. I think it would've been super important for him to mention this and maybe also something like short contact therapy.
Quite shocking imo
Besides that it's super weird to call cleansing secondary, especially when recommending daily sunscreen. Hell, if you have oily skin it's also a lot better to double cleanse with an oil cleanser or balm first, which will help a lot. (Which is what I do)
@@debrucey Sorry - I need to point out that despite using sunscreen daily, I'm rarely washing my face before going to bed (I'm taking showers on the mornings) and I'm getting compliments on my skin and questions what I do with it that it looks so good. I'm also very seldom have breakouts - usually like one little pimple when I'm menstruating.
I don't want to say, that cleaning your face before sleep is bad... I'm just agreeing with doctor, that this isn't a "must have" for having a good skin and that sunscreens wears off - that's my experience. To be fair and precise, I need to add, that I'm using sunscreen with a light, very watery and not oily formula (Paula's Choice - Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF50), I'm not reapplying and I'm not using this recommended "2 fingers" amount, but rather little amount (too little probably), which is completely absorbed through my skin after a moment - so this can be a cause why I don't have the need to wash my face at the end of the day.
I also have currently very well regulated skin regarding sebum production - I'm not overly sweating during the day even in the T-section, my skin is matte all day and any of cosmetics which I use on the morning don't leave oily film on my face.
Also despite not caring about the sunscreen - I care a lot about removing my makeup before I go to sleep. I'm not wearing it often - that's why I'm rarely wash face at evenings, but when I have makeup I always remove it with oil and then wash my face with water-based cleanser (so 2-steps makeup removal).
I was actually very suprised that my skin looks equally good when I don't wash it daily before sleep (despite wearing sunscreen), but what doctor said actually explains it to me.
Time stamps please!
Vanicream is another goated brand.
agreed
please guide us how can we loss weight faster?
We need time stamps please.
When you've read about face-reading, the last part with botox etc. sound so wrong
Will you ever go Turkey for?
I understand this is a highly accomplished person who is here to educate me and others but dude's voice cracks more than my back when i try to get up
Ali post here again please!
Question to dermatologist: Do people with brown and black skin really need sun screen?
yes of course
What about serums?
Basically concentrated active ingredients. Like Retinoid
@@HP-tw6tl most of them are not at all like retinoids
What about diet, since you are what you eat?
Diet is way more important than what cream or product you put on top of it. Be hydrated, avoid sugars and simple carbs (which turns into sugar).
❤️❤️❤️
If you want clear skin, forget the cleansers/creams and completely eliminate ALL carbohydrates. I was vegan for almost 7 years and I had moderate acne with a severe case of keratosis pilaris all over my body. I switched to the carnivore diet earlier this year, and my skin is flawless from head to toe in less than 2 months after starting. My mom is now doing the diet and her psoriasis has drastically reduced in only 2 weeks.
thats amazing to hear! I currently do keto, but thinking of doing the elimination diet for kp/skin health once I know the nutritional requirements/supplements needed while on it.
How are your energy levels? Aren’t carbs really important for energy and health? (Good carbs obv)
None this is evidence based. Just an opinion.
@@tinocabral4201 Carbohydrates are not necessary for health and very detrimental when over consumed. Check out Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Anthony Chaffee here on CZcams and they will break down the research in layman’s terms why a meat-based diet is necessary for optimal human health. We have been lied to that meat is bad and causes heart attacks.
@@mysterical- Sorry for the late reply to this comment! I’m just reporting an update. My skin is the best it has ever looked in my life. I haven’t had a single pimple in months and my skin feels as soft as a baby’s skin. In addition to this, my oral health has dramatically improved on this diet. I had a dentist appointment last week and my hygienist reported my gums did not bleed at all in any quadrant of my mouth when she performed a routine periodontal charting. This has never happened to me before. My teeth are usually quite sensitive as well, but it was nonexistent during this appointment. I’m convinced it is something to do with this diet because that is the only thing I have changed.
49:39 Olive Oil! XD
Does wearing sunscreen effect our vitamin d levels?
yes :(
❤️😘
I am thinking if I am wearing a mask in the morning, do I still need to use sunscreen?
I guess on your forehead and other exposed parts of your skin
Yes
Wear balaclava instead
i like the logic but anecdotally neutrogena destroyed my skin

Can ever deleting a video harm your channel?
Favourite brands: Neutrogena, Mesoestetic, Bioderma and Topicrem. All science-backed and not "organic"👌
