anyaa d , absolutely! These you tubers with no credentials that gives skin care advice make me insane!
And they push some seriously expensive brands, like La Mer and Tatcha.
That's why we love Dr. GRAY!
Yulia Yuts , absolutely!
It really annoys me that certain companies also sell their products for an ungodly amount of money. Then you check the ingredients and most of the time half the stuff in these creams, serums, and toners are inexpensive ingredients with loads of fragrances and irritants. Thankfully there are more and more companies who are stepping up their game and not overcharging us.
This lady deserves a medal of freedom for liberating our brains from marketing crap â€ïž
Marketing crap? Please Olga, have a talk with my daughter....
đ€Łđ€Łyes!
@@Jess-737 Thanks for letting us know. I sure save so much money listening to her. Imma probably stay with the BHA and AHA from paula bc that is literally the only thing that works
She's the only skin care channel I watch! No nonsense, straight to the point.
She's not always right though.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate dr dray who recommends so many AFFORDABLE skincare options when many people in the skincare industry (estheticianâs, some plastic surgeons, spas, etc) will recommend the most outrageously priced skincare items......
Thatâs because Dr. Dray is a true science-based professional, not out to make a buck.
Amber Nicole yes, Thank you Dr. Dray for your incredible good comments
You have to realize that most of the AFFORDABLE drugstore skincare options are filled with parabens & preservatives than active ingredients. Estheticians recommend more expensive skincare items because they have more active ingredients that will target your specific skin concerns. Everyone's skin is different so not every product will work for everyone but you can't target hyperpigmentation if you're solely using cetaphil... I'm sorry it just won't happen.
G preservatives do not affect negatively the performance of active ingredients
You see this all the time and hereâs why. Derms typically do recommend drug store skincare products... their cheap and easy to get your hands on. Estheticianâs care more about where the product is made and how itâs sourced along with the ingredients itâs made up by.
Itâs same with hair. Drug store hair care is not the same as salon quality.
It all just depends on your budget at the end of the day. Do what works for YOU!
I started using Vaseline on my face, neck and decolletage when I was a cash strapped student in the late 80s. I'm 53 now and am asked often what I do to care for my skin, because it's in good shape. Over 35 years, I reckon I've spent about $100 bucks on moisturizer, and happy to brag about that.
Is vasaline good for your face?
I used to do this and my skin was the best. However I developed sun spots and from then on had to use sun screen. Complete turn of skin. I so wanted to continue to use Vaseline but I was stuck with suns spots and never been able to get rid of them. The more I try, the worse I have damaged my skin trying.
My late grandma passed at the age of 89 with barely any wrinkles and she only used Vaseline.
Unsure, I once asked the beautician ladies at the store if it was okay to use Vaseline. They said, "oh no, never use Vaseline! Just keep using the moisturizer you're using already, and stick with that. You're skin is so beautiful and dewy and healthy, don't ruin that." Didn't get around to telling them, I was using Vaseline.
That was 25 yrs ago. Still use it, and I still have great skin (I'm 60).
@@djdissi My sister. Love this. Love you.
I love hearing professionals rant about the idiotic marketing related to their industry. It is satisfying to know where marketers are trying to trick me to get my money. Thank you for this informative video!
other 'gurus' would makes dozens of videos on each product of each name brand out there. im relived to know im not missing anything.
Whenever i get carried away with looking at new products, I come back to you and a minimalistic routine becomes appealing to me again. xx
thanks for watching
rachel I do the same, a reality check before I add another step to the routine!
I canât agree with this more!!!
I would never buy feminine wash too. As Iâm male.
Same!!
THANK YOOUUUUUU for #10. I'm a gynecologist, and I spend so.much.time trying to get people to kick the feminine wash habit. Dr. Dray is 1000% right! Warm water and a nice gentle washcloth will do just fine to clean the vulva. (and don't even worry about cleaning the vagina at all. Totally not necessary.) If you work out or are sweaty/smelly, totally fine to use a mild, scent-free soap in the groin and over hair bearing areas. But keep that stuff away from the delicate tissues of the labia! They are mucous membranes, just like the inside of your mouth. And no one puts soap in their mouth!
Lauren Smith My mom washed my mouth with soap.
I so wish I knew this sooner. Ttc here and âSummerâs eveâ was thrown away really quickly after reading how bad it is.
I put toothpaste in my mouth.
Great explanation. Thank you.
We do put tooth paste in our mouths! So what should we use on our labia and vaginas?
I know Dr Dray posted this 2 yrs ago, but it's riveting! Also impressive is how her advice and guidance remains useful, relevant, and not gimmicky over time. Thanks Dr Dray!
Agree. This rant is a work of art. đđš
Literally me removing almost everything out of my sephora and ulta shopping cart. Thank God I found your videos
Isnât that common sense? I habe the perfect skincare routine, I have 3 very good moisturizer, retinol (retina, tretinol,) hyaloron serum from la roche possay, and how you use it, is very important! Sandwich your Retinol or your skin will likely be terrible (google retinol destroyed my face), use it once a week, then hyaloron acid and put it after the moisturizer! My skin looks amazing! And dont waste your money
Since I found Dr. Dray, I actually saved tons of money on skin care but am having the best skin I've ever had! Thank you!!!
Yes, me too. The $6 Vaseline lotion works wonders with all its parabens lol and I can always afford it.
@@lisabaughn my Husband had a tub of fragrance free Vaseline lotion in his bag for work (he's a courier and in the winter time his hands get VERY dry) his coworker tried to push him into switching to this gimmicky 'organic' heavily fragrenced overpriced cream because "it's natural" and "Not putting all those chemicals on your skin!" He basically told her to mind her business unless she was his dermatologist. I was so proud of him
@@SjofnBM1989 What a great story SB!!!! Perfect response! And I'm glad he's doing well with that lotion. Hooray!
Same thing happened to me just today actually! At my orthodontist, the reclining dentist chairs face a large window that faces the sun during my appointments. Instead of waiting for my doc in those chairs, I now choose to wait in a different chair that puts my back to that window instead of facing it. It was overcast and snowing out today, and when I still opted for the sun-free waiting chair, one of the assistants remarked that there was no sun out today, like I was a little coocoo. I ignored and just stayed in my chair, envisioning my future pretty complexion.
It's great to have info you can take to the bank. đ
I am just starting right now to correct all the bad habits I had, and yes it feels good to be part of the journey here, good for you :-)
@@lisabaughn absolutely, good for you :-) this inspires me
Dr. Dray has changed my life. Being educated about skincare is so empowering
Supremo face oils have helped peopleâs skin though. Olive oil has many positive effects
Thank you Dr. Dray!! What a wealth of information to cut through all the nonsense we receive in the marketing of skin care products.
I plan to refrain from trying out the newest âmiracleâ product from now on.
She looks like a greasy faced corpse. I'd get a second opinion.
I like Dr Dray! She is for real! I will never forget her name, and how honest her content is!
does anyone know how old is Dr. Dray?
Oils can be helpful. I have eczema all over on my body several years ago. My dermatologist prescribed me Triamcilonone ointment and asked me to put a moisturizer on top after the medicine. I followed the order and skin got less irritated, but never clear up. After 2 or 3 years, I found the Viva sweet almond oil and I finally saw the light for this long journey. Only a momth of usage (lubricant everynight, especially right after shower), my eczema was almost gone! There are couple spots with persistent eczema still require medicine and normal moisturizer, but the rest area was stable with just the oil! Thus, I do think oils can do something good to our skin, especially to help recovering our damage skin barrier. I am still using my sweet almond oil to maintain a healthy skin and I love it!
With almost 80% of your thoughts Im agree. BUT the Rose water is absolutly a must for me. The only product Ive used for ages And BTW There is a lots of proven evidences behind it as calming and hidrating ..... My skin is just amaizing and the rose water is one of the reasons. BUT dont buy whatever is on the shelf. The only one I use from ages is organic Bulgarian rose water. Expansive but, real and proovenly the best quality

Dr. Dray, is there ANYTHING that can help with familia dark circles? I have severe bluish/purplish color under my eyes. Am I wasting my time, energy and in particular, money?! Thank you!
I'm a Cosmetic Chemist and I totally agree about the use of eye cream. Totally unnecessary if you use a decent moisturizer.
What about contact lens wearers with sensitive eyes? Can they also use regular moisturizer around eyes, or need special eye cream? Many moisturizers have a note 'do not apply near eye area'
What would be construed as a decent moisturizer đ€ I can only afford drug store.
Cereve moisturizer...it is great!
Kimberly Painter CeraVe! It has tons of good things in it to moisturize and is non irritating, non fragranced, and personally doesnât worsen my break outs
I wanna ask, I have fine lines under my eyes and dark circles so will just using a daily moisturizer be enough to resolve those issues or should I use eye creams that specifically target those problems?
So very thankful and grateful that I found your channel. Iâm old..almost 74 yrs old. Not bad...Iâve stayed out of sun and used sun screen for last 30 years. Used to tan...gave it up.
Youâre so down to earth, youâre adorable, youâre funny, you are truthful ( my gut instinct has been right my entire life..99% of time). No bs...just the facts. I buy some of the products you mention...Cerave, Cetaphil, day care moisturizers all contain sun screen. Iâve tried products when I was younger...but just rely now on simple, good quality facial/body products (because Iâve been watching you for 3 weeks ... almost every night before going to sleep. ). I know, for sure, when I was first hitting my teen years, I donât even remember any eye creams being talked about. I was thinking...a few months back, do I really need eye creams? Thank you.
I live alone...only child...single parent, hectic job...and helped raise all 5 of my grandchildren in between....and fostered/adopted several pets from animal shelters. Grandkids all grown up..busy with living life. Iâm usually alone (but I did adopt 2 sickly stray cats .. both at different times. Some health issues...many losses of loved ones (both human and non human)...even my 37 yr. old daughter..so suddenly...heart condition. It runs in my entire family. Thought Iâd be long gone by now.
Iâve never used any type of foundation. I donât like the way it feels. Had to stop working due to fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, bulging herniated disks in spine, sciatica (both sides...what fun!), arthritis, tendinitis, sinusitis, arthritis....and Iâm a tiny woman.
Been on my own a long time...never remarried...family and all my pets always came first. Still do. Iâm very happy alone. I think Iâve grown and observed and learned, changed and evolved into preferring hanging with non humans now. Many adult humans just annoy me and exhaust me.
Sorry, rambling. Just want to thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinions, as a dermatologist...and as someone who just cares about others who donât know any better...and we sometimes think the latest trend will help us look younger. Old age isnât fun....but Iâm calmer, wiser and have learned to live in the present moment. Took me years of sorrow and heartbreak..to learn about life. The only thing we have control over is our thoughts, our feelings, our perceptions, our opinions and our actions. So...now I kinda just try to go with the flow. And LIFE is so unpredictable and fleeting. I live each day as if it might be my last...still trying to help others (both family and non humans) when Iâm able.
Limited income...itâs hard...with a big human family, a tiny home (I think I mentioned I live alone)...and caring fir 13 feral cats (all tnrd), the raccoons, the opossums, the squirrels, etc... Best part...they all pretty much trust me...and they all get along.
Iâve subscribed and will continue to watch your videos. You really are so darn cute...and thanks for sharing your time and for sharing your honest opinions. đđ«đđ

SKINCARE PRODUCTS NOT TO USE
1. Eye cream
2. Rose water spray/mist
3. Toner
4. Fad ingredients
5. Water wipes
6. Scrubs
7. Lash serums
8. Facial oils
9. Sheet masks

Toner is quite essential in my opinion. It is the 1 thing that calms the skin and the 1st thing I apply after cleansing. Without the toner, it just feels very weird. Maybe ask any Asian girl, if they can live without toner. hahaha... Toner is STEP 1 ~ Many of the other items mentioned are totally discretionary. I find Rose Water very useful in summer as I spray my skin throughout the day.
â@@carmanjun4859 in the video she specifies that she's talking about western toners, not K beauty or Japanese toners for example
Thank you!
â@@carmanjun4859agree
Since watching and listening to you at the beginning of lockdown, Iâve stopped buying fancy expensive products! In fact I now only use Cerave and my skin feels and looks healthy and happy. I still have wrinkles, hey Iâm 59, but the expensive products didnât help either! I feel my skin definitely looks brighter and maybe thatâs because Iâve simplified my routine! So to end my skin looks amazing and so does my bank balance lol! Thank you Dr Dray youâre pretty amazing!
I use the hydrating cleanser bar of soap morning and night, eye repair cream morning and night, vitamin c serum morning, facial moisturizing pm morning and night (not a fan of the am one...I use spf separately) skin renewing serum cream at night! I also use the cerave moisturizing lotion on my body! So much cheaper than all these fancy brands, but has all the important ingredients! Who cares about the packaging! My skin certainly doesnât haha!
Thanks for this information
Exactly. I use Cerave as well. I didn't plan on having everything from the same brand, it just happened. My sunscreen, cleanser, moisturizer and retinol serum are all Cerave. My skin feels great.
dawn potts You sound just like me a year ago! After many years of using skincare products with fragrance, I began to have a reaction to it causing dry, red and itchy skin. I found Dr. Dray's channel and it was like a light bulb went on. I'm CeraVe all the way too! :)
Me the same, since quaratee I ordered in Internet and started use "cheap" brands like The Ordinary and Cerave and my skin looks great đ
Because of following Dr. Dray all I use on my face is CeraVe AM, CeraVe PM, and CeraVe facial cleanser. And my bath soap is all unscented now too. I'm 60 years old and my skin looks pretty darn good!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS IAM PUTTING ALL KINDS OF CREAMS ON MY FACE WASTEING MONEY I TRULY THOUGHT YOU NEEDED EYE CREAMS IAM SOOO HAPPY I DON'T HAVE TO PUT. ALL THESE DIFFERENT CREAMS ON ICANT BELIEVE HOW I BELIEVED ALL THESE LIES ALL THE MONEY I HAVE WASTED THANK YOU AGAIN
im thinking of just using cerave too because of her.
I can't stand that brand đ
@@stacynoelp ngl same but theyâre still far better than cetaphil.
I recently started using simple and basic skin care routine and CeraVe works for me as well.
So love this video. I had a stunningly beautiful, sweet mother who modeled professionally. She told me same thing on feminine washes, toner, wipes, face oils, and eye cream. She looked 30 years younger than she was in her 70's. Tell everyone, Dr. Dray! What you teach is proven in the court of human experience!
Iâve spent a small fortune on facial products from cleansers, hydrating lotions to serums and Iâve decided to keep it simple and age exactly how Iâm supposed to. Thank you Dr Drayđ„°
Agreed! Dr. Dray has made skin care so much more streamlined đđ» (age 54)đ
Me too.
For me the pandemic has highlighted whatâs really important. My nails look fabulous BECAUSE I havenât seen the inside of a nail salon since February. My skin looks great and Iâm only using basic skincare and sunscreen. Thanks Dr. for helping demystify skincare!!
Same! Natural nails for life!
Yes! Every once in a while I think, if like some nice long fake nails. Then I snap back to the horrible State my nails will be in after!
@@haileynichelle8343 I love natural nails, and a good wash of color on them sometimes too. :3
So true. The wonderful side of lockdown, paying attention to good and expert knowledge. Changed and simplified my skin and hair regimen, both never looked so good in a decade. Thank you for all the precious tips, Dr. Dray.

Simple skincare: Cerave cleanser and daily body/face moisturizer, mineral sunscreen ... tretinoin added at night. My skin texture has never looked better! Plus, NO hormonal acne!
Rachel Johnson LOL same!
Do you have brands names for these?
Same. My skin has never looked better. In the morning I double cleanse with Simple face wash/Garnier Micellar water, Cerave basic moisturiser and Drunk Elephant SPF 30. This works like a charm!
Priscilla Sandoval oil based cleanser from hada labo, cerave moisturising cleanser, its body cream and tretinoin at night!
Rachel I do the same thing. It's what I've done my whole life. I don't use Tretinion though. But use all the other things. I'm 53 and happy with my skin and my simple skincare routine. đ
That baby wipes comment is so true - I have two kids and both have amazingly sensitive skin (like me) and switching to washing their bottoms with actual water and soap was the ultimate game changer - the baby wipes were causing rashes!
Love her clinical honesty! Dr. Dray I love your no nonsense approach to skin care. After suffering through patches of red, itch skin in my eyebrows and above, I listened to one of your videos and threw out my expensive, fragrant moisturizer! I now use CeraVee and I am doing much better!
We need minimalism in all aspects of our lives - skincare, makeup, clothing, furniture, etc. Itâs a huge carbon footprint for the world & mostly just marketing gimmicks designed to spend whatever we earn đ just my two cents đ
My anxiety and agoraphobia canât handle minimalistic furniture, but I always buy second hand. đ
Truth
I've used lash serums for years, it has absolutely worked but it's so expensive and I can't be bothered with it anymore. My lashes are short and that's how I look... So tired of needing to perfect everything đ.
Ive gotten great results from Etude House's (a Korean brand) My Lash Serum for $12 on Amazon
Love this comment. We don't need to try to "correct" sth about ourselves all the time.
I use castor oil and it absolutely helps. -:)
@@olzhena9681 which brand?
lqj I use Kate Blanc Cosmetics for now. Just any good quality in glass bottle. But the main thing is do not put on dry skin!!!! Moisturized your skin with some cream and only after that use castor oil on your lushes. I am doing this for 15 years already and it works like a magic for me!
It took me a while to get on the Dr Dray train but youâre brutally honest and I like that. Subscribed đđŒ And I agree with everything you mentioned in this video.
So so so happy you included #10!! I will die on a hill protesting feminine washes/products

Iâm happy to hear that eye creams are unnecessary! I have mostly used my face cream on my eyes but have been fooled a few times to buy eye creams because Iâve been thinking that face cream is bad for them. I always find it annoying to use many different products so again Iâm happy to hear this!
Reason why I don't buy that product
âBecause it's a gimmickâ
I work at Sephora and I love giving out the skincare samples or things that actually help and are recommended! Sometimes I just write the ingredients down for them to look for on their own from binge watching your videos. Now Iâm getting food customer reviews lol đđ

Everyone (most people should, it's quite dated) knows nowadays about alcohol based toners, and of course the hydrating toners are good. And should be used with moisturizer.
I am a middle aged guy who has better skin than 95% of the population and I used to work in the cosmetics/chemical industry, so I have some unique prospective. Some of these takes on certain products are very extreme. A good eye product can make a huge difference. The issue is most eye creams are not well formulated. For hydration sake, yes, a face product will add hydration to the skin around your eyes just as well, but a well-formulated eye product can also add other benefits such help reduce (not cure) puffiness, lighten darkness and plump up crow's feet. Also, wipes are not as evil as suggested. I wouldn't use it as main cleansing product but it's perfectly good for after the gym, leaving a long international flight, or otherwise in between cleansing when you can't get to water and cleanser very easily. Not all wipes leave heavy residues or filmy feeling. It's again, a formulation concern.
Sadly, the industry is largely women brainstorming how to comes up with new/silly/different ideas to compel other women to buy stuff...and not always about scientific merits. My rule of thumb to not to trust smaller brands. Product performance, side-effects, safety or sustainability and so on are not something a small company can handle well - not financially possible. Whereas large companies have dedicated resources to do large scale research and testing. Do not believe some small companies claiming some magical ingredients because the same ingredients are available to the large companies.
Yup - totally agree as to the eye creams - all about the formulations - thanks for your insight!
I'm here for the straight talk - preach, please!! I just love your attitude.
I appreciate the academic approach to products. Thank you!
Hi Dr. Dray! I'm a GP in germany and i absolutely love listening to your vlogs! Your approach is everything I also stand for. Being clear and honest is the most honourable quality in an MD. Thank you for teaching me so much! đ
My neighbor asked me the other day what I was doing in my car. Lol, I was putting on my second layer of sunscreen for the day. My face was all white stillđ». He said "isn't that a little excessive." I thought about it and ask him "how old he thought I was." He said 40-45. I am going to be 55 in September. I told him this, and said, "so no it isn't excessive." Buy the way I am 5 years older than him and he looks 60. I told him sunscreen is the only way to slow the aging process. Then I reffred him to your channel!!!
Maybe your neighborn never use facial cream.
You go girl !!! Keep using that sunscreen!
That's what I do lol. I put more on hoilday. I always wear a cap, sunglasses, uv gloves. Enjoying the sun but hiding in the shade. My face is covered in white but, I can always double cleanse it off. I look normal and have great skin at night and years to come haha People know you look young even when you covered in white anyway
My dad is a contractor and flat out refuses to use sunscreen. He literally calls himself a professional tanner. My mom is only marginally better. I am pale... like ghost pale. I also have acne, my dad's cure all... go tanning! Makes me want to pull my hair out lol. I try to sneak sunscreen into his skin, but I have only been partially successful. Thankfully I recently roped my mom into being an accomplice. Fingers crossed. Sadly in a weird way, both of them have good skin. I do not understand it. Unless they see ten new wrinkles right after coming home from the beach, I don't think either one will jump on the sunscreen bandwagon. Unfortunately, I am still searching for a sunscreen I actually like. I know I need to use it, I do, but I hate them. The makeup I use does not react well with silicones, which makes things even harder. Open to suggestions lol
Name a more iconic duo than men and unnecessary commentary.
Like, who asked him?!

Johanna Mkhabela : Can you get Vanicream ? If not thereâs always neutrogena & Aveeno , I love it
@@Tamar-sz8ox we only have neutrogena will try that
I donât buy anything claiming to detox me.đđ»ââïž
I am allergic to the words "toxins" and "clean skincare
Me, too. It's the biggest tip off that it's a rip off.
Lmao exactly, like water will do the trick no thanks detox products
AMEN! IF ANYTHING SAYS "DETOX" or "DETOXIFYING" it is automatically a scam/ marketing ploy. That includes what goes IN out bodies as well. No detox oils and no detox tea will do what our skin and liver already do!
I recently invested in a set of 20 reusable cotton/bamboo rounds to replace the disposable ones I have been using for years. They are fantastic at removing makeup, and they wash up beautifully. They come in a mesh bag that keeps them together in the laundry, and I just toss the bag in with my sheets & towels. They are wonderful! Next up will be replacing my feminine hygiene products with more sustainable versions that create less waste.
No. Just use cleansing oil and then a gentle foaming cleanser. You are basically rubbing your skin and over time causing wrinkles.
Silicone menstrual cups are the best. That's all I've used for 10 years. There's a marketing gimmick about replacing them every 5 years but as long as they aren't damaged you can sterilize them and reuse them for years. There are a ton of options
Im sorry but I love oils for my face like squalane, rosehip, etc etc. i live in a dry climate and i have dry skin because of it. i find that oils feels better on my face than just applying moisturizers alone since any moisture will just evaporate anyway even when the moisturizer has occlusive in them. so i apply face oils and sometimes i apply moisturizers on top of it. Overall, i prefer face oils over moisturizers.
I stopped buying tons of makeup! I couldn't go a single day without wearing makeup before I started watching Dr. Dray! Now I wear it occasionally just for fun! But definitely no longer feel like I need to cover up my face. Love my bare skin!
I'm surprised she's so down on oils. For me, they made a big difference. I pair an oil with a moisturizer - I find it more moisturizing than moisturizer alone. Plus the moisturizer goes on better on top of the oils.
exactly!!! My skin is glow with facial oil.
Oils and sheet masks work wonder on my skin
I guess everyone is different, right?! As for the sheet masks... I don't have the patience either, but it's a great pick me up for my skin when it needs something to quench its thirst or a little bit of Plumping.
Dr Gray is light skin but I think oils work well on darker people skin....to each his own....
I love oils such as jojoba oil, rose hip oil. I just wanted to advise that lotion goes on before oil, if putting oil than watery lotion will sit on top of skin.
This video has been pure entertainment! I love you and your blunt truth! Somebody has to tell people about these nonsense products and market trickery and Iâm so glad you put it out there. Great delivery. Thank you. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
This video was super informational! Thank you! I think I've just gotten into certain skincare habits that make me feel good about what I'm doing, but as I have more "mature" skin now, I'm relying on liquid exfoliation etc. and staying away from wipes, scrubs, toner, etc. Streamlined my skin care regimen for sure! I actually laughed out loud a few times during this video...this woman cracks me up with her super honest, and "to the core" commentary.
You change my life after i found you a month ago. Now i am using suncream every day even if is cloudy and my skin is transformed. Thank you so much for all your videos.â€
thank you :)
Me too! Since the quarantine and discovering Dr Drayâs videos Iâve been using sunscreen daily đ
Naddy N, same here and Iâm so pleased with my skin. I often wear no makeup and enjoy seeing my bare skin đđ»
I have been suing sunscreen every day and reapplying. I have my new sun hat coming this week. I have purchased all new moisturizers. I am paying about a tenth of the price of what I was buying. My face is looking so much better. Thank you Dr. Dray!!
Same here, thank you
I just started watching this woman... and Iâm in love lol ... I love how she tells the truth about the skincare industry itâs sooooo true how they sell us so much useless sh*t !!
God bless her beautiful soul â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
@@RickMartinCZcams ⊠thank you! I guess that sounds better than â this womanâ now doesnât it?? đ
I love you. Can't emphasize this enough. Thank you for being there
Since i start to know you (around two years) ,and the product that you mentioned, honestly i have shinier and cleaner skin, i had so much acne in my back, face and neck. Iâm so glad because we have you. Also i donât waist my money on products that i did it before, but you helped me to be without makeup , and have that self confidence to go out without makeup, and have clean and shiny skin with no acneđ. Really love you. You are in my daily routine, while iâm having my meal, cooking, cleaning home i do watch your video đEveryday.thanks for all good information, love love love you. đč
Never knew this about eye creams being unnecessary! This is great news... they are so overpriced anyway! Thank you. :-)
She's not lying.... âïžđđșđ
Haha true but I always get milia when i just use moisturizer under my eyes
I think it depends on what you're using them for. If it's just to moisturize, then probably can just use a moisturizer. But some good eye creams can address very specific issues. In my case, dark circles. Most eye creams didn't work but one was a miracle worker. Like literally took 3-4 applications to see major results. But the reason was that it works on the microcirculation issue that can cause dark undereyes...it wouldn't work if it was hereditary or even some other issue... So you really have to figure out the cause before you try a solution.
@@hannahyeung4408 You might wanna change moisturizer. Get something more suited for sensitive skin.
Cannot live without my eye cream! I don't get why some people say that... It's all opinion though. I have noticed a huge difference in puffiness and darkness with prolonged use of my fave eye cream vs not using it.
I really enjoy listening to Dr Dray... However she doesn't take into account the self indulgent aspect of skin care..
i love your minimalist approach with your skincare routine đđ i loved the video and the in depth explantation
Glad you liked it!!
I'm so glad I found you! Thanks so much for all your information.I think I will start saving alot of money and getting better products now.
Thank you so much for your video. I am new here and I am so glad I found you. I am a physician and I am so appreciative of some of your comments and advise !!! I tell several people to stop feminine washes !!!!!!!! Thank you for clearing up advantages of prebiotics/facial oils/wipes/fad ingredients. Totally commend you for your honest and true advise. Continue the passion for medicine and great care !!!!!! ( Fyi - I'm not one to leave reviews - good or bad but felt one was worth it here )
"Sunscreen and subscribe" yes the only thing that everyone needs to do
that plant in the back is me bouncing around like your hype man "yas girl! go off!"
Lmaooo
Christian Marion dead!!!!!
Its dehydrated the tips are brown.
Your videos are going to help me prevent skin issues down the road. I have normal to dry skin and it doesnt really have many issues. However, it's the largest organ in the body and protects me. Time to start keeping it healthy!!
Absolutely appreciate the straight forwardness!
I often think about my dear mom who washed her face with Zest soap and used the original oil of Olay moisturizer. Her skin was beautiful!
Ann Delgadillo was it the pink oil of Olay in the glass bottle? I loved the scent of that. My Nan used it and had lovely skin.
@@tallisinwonderland4724 yes I think it was. I remember the wonderful scent too. I don't recall my mother ever having any wrinkles.
Ann Delgadillo I bought some recently just for the smell đ
Olay has salicylic acid in it. It works well unless you have an allergy which I do. Too bad because it does work.
My mom lived to be 94 and never used expensive stuff washed her face with soap everyday I believe she use ponds cream didn't have any wrinkles
About 15 years ago, I was having a terrible time with irritation and itching in the feminine area. I was about to lose my mind. It was hard to be in public because all I wanted to do was rub. All I ever used in that area was the soap I showered with. So I started researching and read an article that said no type of cleanser was required for that area of the body. It was hard for me to do, but I quit washing down there and only let clear water run down. The itching and irritation immediately went away and has never come back. And I realized that I am still clean in that area and soap or cleanser is not needed.
Should no soap at all go near that area? I like to lightly wash the groin area with a gentle soap, but I donât bring the soap inside.
Happened to me me last week. I used a vaginal wash for a few days and it became super dry irrita and left a rash with a burning sensation. Ditched it now only rinsing it with water several times a day.
@@TrishasMusic so do I .. the outer portions have sweat glands and sebaceous glands, I guess they should require some sort of soap to clean? I've never had any problems with it though
You could always use Dove Unscented Bar soap on the outside area only and you should be good.
@@TrishasMusic That is exactly what I do. Some people bring their soaps inside, which is not what you're supposed to do. My great grandma, grandma, mom and me have always just used bar soap (but we don't wash inside the genital area).
I am new at this skincare, I never really gave two thoughts to skincare, but all my years of night shift work and perimenopause caught up with me. Hormonal acne is not a joke!!! I felt overwhelmed walking into the store, trying to figure out what to do. I am going over your videos; thanks for saving me money, time, and mind. Omg, so many products.
Love how straightforward you are!
"Fad ingredients"- I think this hold true with food too. Great video.
Iâd like to say that I think you are a wonderful person. For those who can not afford a dermatologist can still access great advice from you through this platform. I love watching your videos! Just wanted to say thanks! đđŒ
love your no-nonsense advice, great content!
Finally someone called out the lash serum nonsense. I remember stressing out on finding the perfect lash growth formulas and I ended up making the skin around my eyes so sensitive and no difference to my lashes.
I was hoping someone would comment about this, so I could respond. I started using Scorolash serum on my brows and lashes and they've grown quite nicely. My lashes are frickin gorgeous now. I wouldn't have believed it myself had I not tried it
@@weedayna Same here.. it's the one product that I absolutely love and has been such a gamechanger for me. I get comments on my lashes all the time and it's due to good serum.
@@weedaynahad to scroll down quite a bit to find this comment about lash serums. I had been recommended Grande Lash MD lash serum and it had visibly helped me with regular nightly use, but I ran out of it pretty fast. So I went and bought me some plain castor oil and filled up the lash serum tube with that. Now my lashes are doing just as great for a fraction of the cost đ no irritation, just have to make sure to apply it nightly!
While reading the comments about intimate washes I had a"ding,ding, ding" moment. Since I was a teenager I've been using them when I shower, especially during my period. And for many years I've been dealing with severe itching. I thought it was because of the incontinence pads I use during the day (which probably don't help). But now I realize that the wash is the problem. Feminine wash gone!
âJust wash your face stop wiping it!â Lol Love you Dr a Dray!!
I trust you a lot. I started watching you about two or three years ago. My Keratosis Pilaris is almost fully gone from my body, and whatever is left it is slowly fading away.
Thank you for all your advice .The beauty industry has many people brainwashed in to thinking we need all this stuff!
I recently started tretinoin. Boy did that minimize my purchases of extraneous skincare, because less is more with tret. I was using highly rated products that were minimally effective, at best. I'm glad I made the switch.
Tumeric has however been used by Indian people for thousands of years as a skin purifier. Maybe best to keep it in its natural form though. But it's definitely not a new thing.... new to the western world.
At last! Someone qualified who talks real sense about skin care. I am in my 60's and always get compliments about my skin... Guess what? I have always kept my skincare routine simple without harsh, useless products, eaten properly, used sunscreen, used moisturiser... Your ideas vindicate my choices. Thanks.
Speak the truth! Thank you for these informative and honest medical based videos!
So glad I found your channel, following your recommendations my skin is finally clearing up and getting better and better every week. Thank you so much I was losing hope, spending so much money on useless products that ended up making my acne worse now on my fourth week with a good routine itâs finally going in the right direction.
Iâd love to see you do a video on acids. The top 10 (most popular) and the pros/cons/usage of each. Thanks for all your videos - Iâm learning so much!
New subscriber! Great information with no sales push! Thank you Dr. Dray!
Love the knowledge and honesty. In my opinion your spot on!! Thanks Dr.
After watching Dr Dray, I get so frustrated when others spread wrong skincare knowledge and products đ
Yes, especially those self-proclaimed skincare "gurus" who have zero training or qualifications...
Powerful! I really need to hear more of this so I can simplify all of my skincare! A huge thank you! Please do more of this!
Thank you so much for such an amazing video! Really helpful and to the point. Congratualtions!
I always review your vids so I get refreshed with my skin care..thanks a lot!
She was so anti-wipe, I was a little scared TP was going to come up.
You think she's going to be anti toilet paper?
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
@@SjofnBM1989 Lol... it's called sarcasm. But in any case, there are people who use bidets. In a lot of the world, there's a little hose at the side of the toilet for... um, wipe-free wiping.
đđđ
Lol!! Thank you for the laugh.
I haven't bought TP for 10 years..........................[wait for it]............................................ I use 'family cloths'. Like reusable TP. Small diapers you wipe with then throw in the washer. (No, I don't wash them w/ my clothes). I've saved $4400 in a 1-time use item (TP) that ends up in the sewage system. Replaced with cotton fabric, water, and detergent (that needs to processed out of the water system).
Vitamin c transformed my skin. I use the powder one form from Clinique. It lightens up my acne scars in one use and after a week they are almost gone. Only one I cannot agree on.
She said in another video that we can use it but it comes with risks, and I think we don't have to mix it with retinol
Good to know! What about cystic acne scars?
same is about eye creams. they are sooo good for eye skin.
This video is amazing. I keep telling people do your research, everything that was spoken in this video is truly key đïž to getting back to self-care and a regiment that works. I use 3 products on my sensitive skin. A simple cleanser, moisturizer sunscreen, retinol OTC, every other night. Thats it. I feel so sorry for people putting all their hopes in dreams and $ in these fads that DO NOTHING!!!. You cannot đ stop the cycles of life. Period. Just take care of you.
I just found Dr. Dray today. I have watched 5 or 6 videos. Wow! So much great information. I subscribed and I am a huge fan. Such practical information!
Thank you for the reminders Dr Dray. My daughterâs eczema is now under control since I switched to Cerave baby wash and Vanicream đ
I started getting hormonal acne and dry patches around my eyebrow and nose area.
Ever since watching your videos I incorporated good, affordable & fragrance free products into my routine and my skin has improved ever since.
I use the Cerave Salicylic Face wash. Follow up with the Cerave PM moisturiser on damp skin and then a SPF50 sunscreen on the face. My skin has never looked so AMAZING and I canât thank you enough!
You are the best Dr. Dray. Have a nice Friday!
I was always skeptical about eye creams and never got any, now I canât be more than happy with my decision after seeing this video.
Thank you, Dr. Dray! Awesome advice.
