I agree! My derm is pretty good but I always feel like she doesn’t truly listen to my concerns or answer my questions as detailed as I’d like. I definitely feel rushed every time I go except for when this “red puffy hand” syndrome showed up and then she was all in. Literally felt like only bc it’s something she hasn’t seen often.

@@melanie.3837 that is what I am searching KZread for right now lol. I’d love a contrast and compare with general price points. I’m considering laser resurfacing but some of the videos have me afraid now!

Skinceuticals vitamin C: $160. Easily broken down but the vitamin E helps to stabilize the vitamin C. Founded by a dermatologist but L’Oréal bought them out. Vitamin c for collagen synthesis, helps with hyperpigmentation. Some don’t tolerate this very well, some do. More sensitive skin doesn’t like it. New product slyamrin CF or something like that for sensitive skin. Maelove skin glow is a good dupe. Paula’s choice ce ferulic acid Drmtlgy ce ferulic Drunk elephant vitamin c product Products do perform pretty similarly. Similar to retinoids in terms of what they do. If only can afford one, pick the retinoid put your money there. It’s great if you can use both but irritation can make it so we can’t use both. Retinoids- older studies show tretinoin is much better but new study came out saying comparable efficacy. Prescription Rx is a good idea esp with insurance. Skin better science - AlphaRet- retinol + lactic acid Arazlo Alterno- hylauronic acid easier to tolerate Arazlo Trifarotene less irritating Many studies done for acne and not hyperpigmentation or wrinkles. Retin-A first one for anti-aging and acne and has the most research. Go to for a lot of people can be tretinoin. If over the counter try alpharet. Hyperpigmentation: gold standard is hydroquinone. Use for short period of time lower strengths with a dermatologist so don’t get permanent exogenous ochronosis. Tri-luma great for this. Best to see dermatologist for this. Skinceuticals discoloration defense is great over the counter. Melasma or freckles. Faded topicals- could be irritating but very effective and only $36 Cyspera- good for melasma Always wear spf with whatever you use, protect your investment. Procedures are worth your money. Lasers, microneedling, light therapy, they are a focused treatment for these same things and get great results. When you start using over $200 skincare consider treatments.

It takes time to chip away at hyperpigmentation associated with sun exposure and hormonal changes. You cannot use a chemical peel to fix this issue because it temporarily fixes the problem. However if you use microdermabrasion or some other type of exfoliant that would be the better route. Peels can activate the cells that produce melanin and make your patches worse. My tip would be to always use a sunscreen of at least spf 50-60. The same applies to your acne scars. Hope that helps.

I love your channel, I just started watching!! This video was super helpful. As an African American woman, I think I’ve been fear-mongered out of trying a lot of the products for hyperpigmentation just because I don’t want any adverse effects! I’ll definitely bring some of these up with my dermatologist the next time I’m in the office! Thanks so much!!

I have rosacea and sensitive skin and have had NO issues with the C E Ferulic. Being in Australia a lot of the dupes aren’t available but i don’t mind splurging on the C E Ferulic because it’s my only “luxury” product in my routine and my routine so simple. Retinoids make my rosacea flairs so much more intense (the retinoids itself doesn’t flair me but I would only have to think about the sun to flair my skin!). Just goes to show that skin is SO personal!!

Not original commentor but I hope this helps someone since I'm the same: Step 1: Drink more water. Dehydration raises oil production Step 2: Wash face no more than 2 times a day and avoid any type of scrub or stuff with SLS. Skin damage raises oil production. Step 3: Moisturize in the morning and night. Good moisturizers are hard to find. I find lotions to work better than creams on my face. Gotta lock in the moisture to reduce dehydration. Step 4: Since sebum production would have reduced in a few days, retinol will finally be more effective, so use a serum after face wash and before moisturizer. Step 5: Do not scratch or touch your face. Let your skin heal :) I still get oily occasionally but its only when I'm dehydrated. Acne is practically gone.

Thank you so much for these videos! I finally feel like I have permission (and the knowledge) to stop aspiring to afford overpriced skin care products! What a relief. I’m curious what eye creams, if any, do you use and recommend? I’ll also double check to make sure you haven’t done a video on this topic yet!

I tried the drunk elephant c firma and noticed minimal improvements to my skin. I am currently on my second bottle of the youth to the people vitamin c + caffeine and I love it. I noticed improvements in my hyperpigmentation almost immediately (about a week of use) and I prefer the texture so much more than the drunk elephant serum. I found DE was quite a tacky texture, and didn’t really absorb fully into my skin and just sat on top. YTTP is way better in texture though still a bit sticky, and absorbs within a couple of minutes. Highly recommend to anybody !

I may go back for a few more treatments during the winter to treat some of the deeper pigmentation but as you said, and my doctor emphasized, I must wear SUNBLOCK religiously from now on or I will undo all the good results. I wish I had known this earlier in my life so my issue could have been avoided. I will be starting a retinoid regimen soon with a product that is not photo sensitive allowing me to use it morning and evening just not right away. I have to start off slowly.

It is very much an industry you have to evolve in, keep up with your education and most of all take care of the patients wellbeing.

It’s the newer technology of the CO2 Laser 😊

I've had microneedlign and chemical peels done in a derm's office. They're fantastic procedures, but you MUST go in clinic to have them done and make sure you go to someone who is licensed. If you have someone do these procedures and they're not done in a sterile environment or with someone who knows what they're doing, you could cause a lot of scarring and damage to the skin. But both procedures did wonders for my acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Just never ever ever do them at home, especially the microneedling. You can do some chem peels like The Ordinary's AHA/BHA peel, but you need to be very careful about that because you can cause damage. An esthetician will be able to do more intense peels though, which is why I'd recommend going to a professional rather than doing them at home.

Thanks for the great video--and especially the link to the double-blind clinical study. I always appreciate those! As a dermatology patient and skincare consumer, I'd like to second the recommendation of investing in visiting an actual board-certified dermatologist. (And if you have a darker skin tone, find one who specializes in darker skin tones.) I used to spend hundreds of dollars on hyped-up skincare products and none of them gave me the kind of results I got after 3 months of visiting a great dermatologist (and spending less than $100 thanks to insurance and coupons). A dermatologist will create a routine that is specific to your skin, your life, and your budget, and not something generic enough to sell to millions. I will say though that I'm finding Aklief more irritating than Retin-A Micro, but that could just be me! Or the fact that it's winter and I'm still in my first month of Aklief! Thanks again!

Excellent tutorial on available products!

Hey Docs! Thanks for a great video. Just wanted to make a quick comment about your discussion on sunscreen and hyperpigmentation. It might be worth it to note that for some people chemical sunscreens can actually cause hyper pigmentation. At least in my case, and with many other people I’ve talk to, oxybenzone ( and possibly some of the other chemical sunscreens) were the major factor in causing dark blotches on my skin. I know it’s totally tough to get so much information into a short video. I really appreciate the time and effort you’re taking and all of the great information! Thanks so much!

There are so many amazing dupes for SkinCeuticals Vitamin C with the same active ingredients in very similar concentrations. I've used a few of them but the one that stood out the most for me was BioBare's Vitamin C,B,E, Ferulic. I found it's just as good as SkinCeuticals, if not better.

I’ve been a user of the CE Ferulic and I just came across the BioBare’s. Loved the price compared to CE Ferulic!! Was wondering if it’s a good product. Thank you for sharing your experience.

You both are wondeful teachers, editing is top notch as well.

I think it’s important to point out the gateway to in-office procedures as well luxury cosmetic over the counters. The price barriers have thankfully caused an explosion of at home devices as well as OTC dupes. So true! 100 years of using Skinceuticlas won’t provide the same result as in office treatments. A Derm visit & Rx topicals are potentially cheaper in long run. (My Tretinoin is only $65 and lasts ~ 3 mos.) And I appreciate the healthy skepticism on the benefits of Vit c & you discussing the new RTC that indicates otc retinol could be as effective as RX retinoids. My motto with any and all skincare is do your research, make a plan, go low and slow & “remain cautiously optimistic”!

Love all your tips! I use the Timeless Vitamin C and have seen great visible results. I can’t attest to the collagen support but the glow, texture, and the brightening makes the product a winner for me. The airtight, opaque packaging, and the $25 price tag, and the fact that it’s going on three months of use without oxidizing makes it a good value. The ph is at the appropriate level. I have put together a great routine of inexpensive products. My tretinoin is 10 dollars a tube. I My sunscreen is the most expensive at 42. I put my money in fillers and Botox. Those treatments do make a difference but honestly it’s the sunscreen and basic skincare that does the most.

Which sunscreen are you using?

Skinceuticals will always be my go to as I know it works & many local dermatologists suggest it after any facial treatment.

Love your videos, very informative and much appreciated! I have been doing more research about skin care products due to having developed a resistance to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin (although I haven't fully accepted it yet). Thank you for all of the information you have shared!

The best videos ever. It is time for KZread to give out the Honesty and Education Awards. The winner is Doctorly!

@@bunnypoop4508 triluma is also around $3. I actually just saw a tiktok about how epipens cost $35 to make but are sold for around $600 because people need them. Now only God can save us from big pharma.

Please make a video explaining and comparing procedures that are actually worth the money as well!!

Thank you both so much for your very thorough and detailed explanations of products and procedures! I've only recently in last two months started using tretinoin and working with dermatologists. I really want to start with the right procedure to permanently remove acne scarring on my cheeks. It is more evident on one cheek vs. other. I know there are so many types of laser procedures out there but I would love if you could please recommend the most effective laser procedure for acne scarring?

If you have sensitive skin, check out the cerave vitamin c! I love it! It gives the perfect amount of hydration too 🥰

I use to be an aesthetician and have use hundreds of skin care products and brands. Even used TNS Essential Serum for two years. Which is about $300 a bottle. I have been using The Ordinary line for over a year and my skin has never looked better. So inexpensive and so worth it.

I loved seeing you both dressed up. 👏😁🖤 But what I love is that in every video you make, you both share what I think is really good to use it or not. I also want you to tell you both Doctors that you are the only dermatologists I am listening to. Locally and internationally. Please do continue doing this videos😊🤗❤️

Just found out about this channel and I LOVEEEEE IT ♥️♥️ thank you guys!! Not sure if you have a Melasma topic video but if not, PLEASE PLEASE make one 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I liked Rentin A, I used it a lot for acne. Its the only cream that helped clear my skin, even though it made me skin extreme sensitive and red peeling. Combined with blue light treatments and facials antibiotics. Im 50 now with very few winkles.
