For #4 I’ve heard so many opinions about this all over, some say 1 or few minutes and some say don’t even layer them because they counteract each other slightly or something along those lines, seems the most common is #2 is what most recommend from my research

The 5 techniques to use the retinol/vitaminA & vitamin C together starts at 6:02

You are the greatness on KZread, we don't deserve you. Very insightful.

i love how you go straight to the point

OMG, Dr Alexis' skin is so beautiful.

Listen, I just found your channel and you are such a blessing. I’ve always had pretty clear skin, but now as a woman in my 30’s, I’m looking to be more intentional with my skin care routine. You have a video for every question I have. I can’t wait to make my way through your video library. Thank you for everything you do. ❤️

Dr.Stephens...i really appreciate you writing notes in the description!Super helpful!💞

This is really useful. I use vitamin c in the morning and retinol in the evening, as being some who is olive skinned and prone to hyperpigmentation, I fear any irritation

Happy belated international women’s day QUEEN thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and making these videos❤️

Thank you for breaking things down. I know exactly what protocol to follow for my skin. You're amazing Dr. A.

I've been doing Option#2 since my mid 30s, very effective & I'm happy that you "expanded" my options.

😳, YOUR SKIN LOOKS GORGEOUS, DEWY AND FLAWLESS. Amazing video as well.

I have seen this video 3 times already and every time I learn more. You are truly the best I am getting you favorites since my skin is exactly like yours. Thank you, you have no idea how much your videos have helped in order to get the right product and stop wasting money on the ones that are not for me. 👏👏👏🙏🙏

This is the first video on this topic that I’ve heard say “avoid the corners of your eyes, nose, and mouth”. Such a great tip for me getting started, since I have such sensitive skin and used to get irritation in these spots from even the gentle Differin cream I would use for acne. Also…I am definitely going to sit up and listen to skin advice from someone with such incredibly beautiful skin herself! Gorgeous and highly intelligent. I will be subscribing.

Thank you so much for all your content😘 You and shereen are where I go to get my skin advice! You have both transformed my skin! Thank you xxx💕

I am a 32 year old male just now getting into anti agin skin care. I played basketball outdoors in the sun for hours all of my teenage and young adult life. Due to this I suffered some skin damage(large pores and some fine lines). Vitamin A and C will be helpful to my skin care routine. Your video was very informative and educational. Thanks!

I’ve been trying to learn and incorporate these products into my routine for the past couple years but was always left confused about them and never went through with it because I wasn’t educated on it fully. And wow, you explained everything so well! I have never subscribed to anyone faster 😍

I just like the fact I found an informative, well detailed, and thorough doctor who looks like me and is beautiful. So, ofcourse I gave the video a thumbs up 👍🏽

I appreciate how thorough she is. I feel some Drs on KZread are vague.

WOW! Seasoned esthetician w/a biochem degree and that was hands-down, the best explanation of free radicals and their synthesis and job in the body, and how retinoids and vitamin C works on the skin! Charts are SO comprehensive, great!! as I was typing this and listening in the background, I realized you recommended the product line that I just started with in our medical spa “Skin Better”…. So super happy to get that reinforcement about this line! TY

Thanks for leaving the product names up longer. Very informative as always!

Does she take the product names down? Because I don’t see them. I just started following her 3 days ago. I was looking for the recommendations

I essentially bought everything you suggested in your fall skincare recommendations and I love it esp that Tula milk cleanser

You break everything down so well. Thank you!

My first time in this channel & I already learned a lot. I have read that the best Vit C is in a powder form (The Ordinary) and to apply it, it must be mixed w/ your favorite moisturizer so by doing this you will always get a fresh mixture of Vit C. I agree with the logic but I'd like to get your take on it. Thank you in advance🙂

I just found your channel and so far I love it. Thank you so much for your educational side of this. It is truly appreciated.

Thank you so much for this informative video! Just yesterday I bought The Ordinary retinol 1% and L-ascorbic acid, but I’m brand new to skincare so I was thinking just using both at the same time using your method #2. Now I’m planning to do what you said! Use the retinol first for a month or so and then incorporate the vit C 😁

Thank you for showing some great options of Vitamin C products.

Your the best doc, I’m been watching your videos like crazy. And man, I’m learning so much I didn’t know.

I am a new subscriber...new follower...now an avid watcher!!! I recently had an irritation on my face from using Tatcha products several weeks ago. Although I've had highly sensitized skin all my life, I was always very ignorant to things I should/shouldn't be using on my skin/ face because I never took the time to fully educate myself. Since delving in and getting a better understanding, I've realized just because the product is "high end" or expensive does not mean you won't have allergic reactions to the ingredients it contains. Since finding your channel, I've learned so much and I'm so excited that I'm now able to use certain cleansers, moisturizers, retinols and sun screens because I now know which ones are better suited for me and my skin. I'm in my 40's and I wish I had found you sooner so that I would have been able to start my preventative regimen versus trying to play catch-up. Either way, I couldn't be more ecstatic about the journey ahead. I even made an appointment for my daughter to see you. I won't make the same mistake with her. See You Soon :)

Fabulous video full of great information! I find these two ingredients the most confusing at times but try to include them both in my skincare routine. Thanks so much for breaking things down in such a fulsome yet straightforward way and providing great options!

This was very informative! Thank you. This is the first video I have seen of yours, really enjoyed it.

Dr. Alexis, I bought the Biossance Omega Repair Cream after watching your videos about that product and Vitamin F. Thank you for teaching us how to care for our skin!

Just enrolled in the SkinBetter Science under Parkland. Super excited about it! Thanks for educating us all!

I'm so happy to have found you. You are so easy to listen to and you hit the topics I'm so interested in. Brains and beauty.

" And my friends, if it cant get it into your skin - what is the point?!" Right?!! I think about that every time I'm buying any skincare product. Thank you Dr Alexis!

Huge fan myself of waiting 30 min btwn my vitamin c and retinoid applications. Thank you so much for such valuable content like this, Dr. Alexis 🥰🥰

I recently introduced retinol to my routine, the first one I tried from versed broke me out within 2 days and I was like I am done with this. I went back to your recommendations and got the cerave one and my skin looks really bright and smooth. I have dry skin. I pair it with honest moisturizer. I tried one from elf and it didn't work. Glad i didn't give up on retinol. Thank you!

Love these videos wish I knew about this when I was younger. I am starting a whole new skin regime and I am in my later 60s God Bless

Wow, thank you so much for this informative video. As I enter into my late 20’s I started noticing small signs of aging. I decided to hop on it and start taking better care of my skin and invest into some quality products. It’s nice to know that some of the products I am now using you mentioned! I also incorporated using a vitamin c serum In the morning before my moisturizer and a retinol at night before moisturizing. After doing research on how to safely use retinols I started off only using it twice a week (Monday and Friday’s and only at night as retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun) I am noticing a HUGE difference! I also, have really loved using Laroche Posays gentle cleanser and double repair moisturizer but I def will be trying there prescription gel after you mentioning it! Plus, I already had been eyeing it lol. Love your videos! As a woman of color, its a breathe of fresh air to see a woman that looks like us in the dermatology field. Keep up the great work!❤️

you are such a gem, this was super helpful and informative without being confusing !! Stay blessed

Thank you Dr. Alex, for such great information.

Such helpful advice, thank you, Dr. Alexis!

Thanks for this amazing video and the list in the descriptions ❤

Your skin is flawless and you look like an egyptian queen!

I use a japanese brand called Hada Labo and they make a Vit C line called Melano CC. i use the serum its like 14 buck for a small tube but i think it does work in brightening (not lightening dark spots. azaleic for that)

you are such a gem in youtube skincare!

Truly appreciate this as I am debating this very same topic currently

Thank you for the clue about protecting corner of eyes and nose. Good catch!

How about this is so needed on YT. I need another educated woman with brown skin to tell me what to do for my brown skin, especially my aging brown skin. I’ve been looking for you, sis. 🙋🏾‍♀️ New subbie here.

Your videos are so informative and helpful, thank you so much ! Hope you get many more followers 🙏

Excellent presentation of options to use Vit C and A.

This was so super helpful and thank you 🙏 for the bomb recommendations!! Your skin is #goals glowy

The way you explain things is very easy to understand. I am learning a lot from you. Subscribed today.

Hi Dr Alexis. I went to Ulta today to get some vitamin C, I saw your name on the Laroche Posey kit! I told the staff you were my derm. I mean my KZread dermatologist. I was so happy to see your name on the set, I bought it🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Good info.. I have followed the second tips. C in the morning and A at night 👍🏼

Hi Dr. Alexis, thanks for another great and informative video. I feel better prepared to use vitamin c and retinol.

her voice is soo relaxing and beautiful

I love how well you explain everything. So many estheticians claim you can't mix A and C and refuse to acknowledge that science has made it possible for this advancement.

@@tatianabryant3212 hello there, That definitely was not my intention. Personally, all I meant was she is very easy to follow and learn skincare from and I've made next to similar comments on posts of women with other skin tones (Dr. Dray is another fave derm on YT for me and many). I'm a female of colour as well and I like to see more women of colour on KZread, but that was not actually even something I tried to have be considered in my comment. I'm not telling her I am surprised she is eloquent for an African american. I am telling her she is eloquent because she is*, especially for a skincare persona on youtube. I Find it appropriate to tell a doctor, that they make things very easy to understand. The skin colour should not be in question of anyone's intelligence. People who post informative videos are not always eloquent and articulate. By any means. And I really appreciate when people are like this. Hence why I have looked at ome skin care video after another trying to find clear answers for things I searched. I trust a doctor to tell me something in a simple informative way more than an enthusiast with no professional background. Therefore, I'm not quite sure how me saying a doctor was eloquent made you think I was trying to imply women of colour are not eloquent, but I appreciate that you were only coming from a place of trying to be informative and I will try to reword my comments to appear different with zero confusion in the future.

@@viviany8124 I understand. Maybe this helps…. Follow me on this one….hopefully ur a parent but if not I think you will still get it. Have you ever told a parent that their child is so well behaved. That mere statement has several undertones, one being that most children cant behave and the other eludes to the fact that that isolated this child from the rest thus making this child an exception to the rule or narrative. The same undertones is found when other races tell a black person that they are “articulate” or “eloquent” ..:.it’s a back handed compliment because In one tone there’s the perception that blacks aren’t educated or articulate and are “ghetto” and you stating that comment merely means that you have found a black person that is soo eloquent and articulate as if it’s uncommon. Now if she said the same things with an accent or slang you wouldn’t be saying articulate or eloquent as you are using European standards to define what articulate or eloquent means. Also, it’s an ironic compliment, she’s a doctor, she didn’t do all that studying to sound uneducated. Maybe next focus on the value and importance of her educating us on skin care and not her identity. You did a great job explaining it to me, go that route next time.

Doctor Alexis, I think a lot of people may think the products you recommend are expensive or on the pricey side but if you could quantify how much of a product/ballpark amount to use or how long it lasts when purchased maybe we’d be more inclined to think the product more within reach. I use to cringe at paying $55 for face sunscreen but now that I’m using it and see that it lasts a bit I’m more willing to purchase and use it regularly thanks to you and Danielle, the Style & Beauty Doc.
