I use castor oil for hair growth. Im very much afraid if I put it on my face, whether it may trigger facial hair growth. Did you face any issues?!

That’s because people confuse or simply don’t know the difference between dehydrated skin and dry skin. Dehydrated is lacking moisture, dry is lacking natural oils. So if you have naturally dry skin your skin doesn’t produce enough oils on its own. You can have oily, combo or dry skin and your skin be dehydrated at the same time because it’s lacking moisture aka water. Hyaluronic acid help skin to retain moisture not oils, therefore if your issue is truly dry skin then what you’re needing is oils to replace what you’re missing.

This isn’t a video about moisturizer. It’s about hyaluronic acid. Moisturizers used to be good because they contained oils. Then they got on this “oil-free” kick, which makes no sense. Now I’m frustrated by it being extremely hard to find a product that does not have HA. When it first came out, it was always made clear that in dry air the ha will draw moisture from your skin. Somehow that quickly got ignored. Maybe I have to try oils now. It’s hard to find one that’s not irritating.

I just want to kindly point out - you answered your own question at the end of your comment. Many companies went “oil free” when consumers stopped using their products containing oils because the oils were blamed for acne breakouts, skin irritation, and other issues like seborrheic dermatitis(my mom was advised by her dermatologist to only use oil free products to control this condition and treats his directive like it’s gospel.) I’m curious if these products just contained poor quality oils or if there were other chemicals used in production that degraded the oils or caused problems on the skin and were overlooked as being the cause.

I just dropped a moisturizer, that had to much water in it, using more oily one instead. But in the morning I use a self-mix of ultra-molecular HA and hydrolate mixed with more hydrolate in hands. In my creams there is no HA. In creams mostly the big size of HA is used, that truly can not penetrate skin and stays on the surface. It is much cheaper to produce. I can use oils and butters for the body, but have a problem on face with it since some years. It stays on surface and skin is still dry. This only worked when I was younger. But my serum for night is a mix of retinol, squalane and oils. This works well. I love your examples of creams and most moisturizers in the video ; )

I like rosehip oil. I still use moisturiser but if if feels like it needs more I'll revert to an oil. I think hyauaronic acid works better if you spritz some hydrating toner on first before you use it, I do that with my moisturiser that has that ingredient too. I still have oil in my skin so I don't use an oil all the time.

Can we use it in summers?

Do you think there are any potential disadvantages to the skin by using occlusives like oil or petrolatum?

I wouldn't say squalane is a complete occlusive - only when you apply so much that it forms a thick layer. I personally recommend to my patients to apply a thin layer so that gaseous exchange can still take place and you're not blocking the skin like an occlusive. That way, were trying to mimic what nature intended for the skin as closely as possible.

I have been using olive oil on my face for many years, works wonders

Understand your skin is the key. Use whatever that helps your skin. I use HA and Vit C serum on damp skin followed by aloe gel moisturizer. Then sunscreen on it. In evenings, HA serum and then moisturizer and tretinoin at night or just basting my skin with diaper rash cream. Works wonders to my skin because mine is oily and dry. It doesn't need anymore oil but moisture. I follow Dr. Idriss advice but improvise because now I understand my skin better.

Is caster oil good for your skin ?

Thank you!! I've been saying this for a couple of years, but as I didn't have any scientific data to "back me up," nobody would listen to me. To me, it just made sense. I'd been slithering moisturiser on my face for decades (serums were introduced later) and my skin remained dry. I was told that HA was the answer to my concern - no, it wasn't. My skin became even drier! Out went the moisturiser and the HA, in came squalene, followed by castor oil. Result : NORMAL SKIN 😊❤❤

i have eczema and i have patches and then they get scaley and rub off. the oil i learned in so asia esp coconut. it sort of helps. but my patches come and go when the weather changes. i dont do it often but i noticed when i use a korean face mask at night , i wake up w more water added to my skin

Does anyone know how to use this with tretinoin? Should we apply squalane oil underneath or on top of tretinoin?

My face was fine now I'm using rose water mixed with glycerin on my face as a toner. I have normal skin type, should i use this one, my skin is sometimes sensitive to new products.

If sebum is missing then I'd replace with something as close as possible to sebum, so I'd still recommend an oil, personally. If they're underproducing in terms of cell function then I don't need to know what specifically they're making less of - I just target cell function still as a whole. Also, not making enough HA can be because there isn't enough of a protective barrier such as sebum, remember.
