    Thanks for a great video! I have a question please: I use Paula's Choice azalaic acid booster which contains 0.5% salicylic acid. I have rosacea and am sensitive, reactive, dry and eczema-prone. When used daily, could that small of an amount of BHA make a difference when it comes to clearing out my pores?

    As always Dr. Jenny you never disappoint with your videos. I have a question regarding Skin Better Science Alpharet and intensive as well. Do they exfoliate the skin? Can they serve as my exfoliants or do I need a separate one?

    Peter Thomas Roth Even Smoother is incredible!!! Love the Ultimate 5 Soultions Moisturizer too … and the Retinol Fusion PM Exfoliating Face Wash is a staple a couple times a week and the Drunk Elephant Protini 10% Lactic Acid is also incredible!!!! Noticeable changes in my skin … all of these took my skin to the next level 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

    I have a lot of freckles/sun spots (turning 30 this year) and I've tried so many things to help reduce the darkness of them but so far nothing works. Do you suggest I should try some sort of laser treatment? I'm also scared of that because my skin is really sensitive too

    morning dr jenny, I always wanted to know what you think as a board certified dermatologist about layering different sunscreens. I have a combo skin type, and gel sunscreens work best for my t zone but not enough for my cheeks, so what i do is a full face of gel sunscreen, and then layer a cream type sunscreen on my dry cheeks. Am I making a mistake?

  • @dr.jennyliu

    Layering is great way to provide additional coverage. You just don’t want to mix them.
