My physicians and dermatologists always recommend inexpensive, regular old pharmacy products for everyday and also for problems. Their practices may SELL expensive lines, but for medical care it’s all unscented, gentle, ingredient-driven, readily available

Always great, straightforward talk. I appreciate that you don't promote all these high end products. People buy into advertising and packaging and could save with other products from drug store.

Thank you for staying fragrance-free! My skin has been just getting better year after year of listening to you! Have a good Sunday!

I can always rely on you for my skin care needs. Thank you for trying these products and your honest opinion of them. 😊

​@@Jess-737 why do you think they're bad right know? Just curiosity, I only know one spf cream I tried years ago.

Thank you Dr Dray for sharing this informative video. I was doing a search on the L'Oreal company and to date they own 35 brands including Lancome, Maybelliene, La Roche - Posay, Cerave in 2017, just to name a few. As a consumer I think the prices that they charge for fancy packaging isn't reasonable. There are so many good drugstore gems that I prefer to purchase than just for the fancy packaging. I'm a tea lover, my beloved favorite is the Typhoo gold 🥰 Take care everyone and save your money!

I purchased some Lancome products a couple of years ago. The scent is very nice, but it caused a rash on my face. I typically don't have issues with scented products. Thank you, Dr. Dray for all of your content. Love so many of your recommendations. Have a great week!!😊

Its nice hydraiton and does feel luxury but I bought only a small bottle during the sale. I just purchased 2 times like in a year. But its definitrly not longlasting

Great info, once again...thanks! I absolutely agree with you on the audacity and ridiculousness of insurance companies deciding what to cover (and not just for post-acne issues). The insurance industry is by and large one of the worst industries of all. We need to get a clue from other countries on appropriate preventive/medical coverage for everyone (and no, I'm not into socialism). Several years ago, one of my daughters had a college friend from Sweden who told us how great their healthcare system works. We need to do better here.

Dr Dray is the best! She’s the only Derm I watch on KZread!

I’m so glad I saw this video before actually considering the Lancôme advance Génifique radiance boosting face serum. I see it’s on sale for 21 days of ulta beauty and I was considering trying it out but I can’t do no fragrance on my face I’m so glad I did research and came across your video! Thank you!

For hydrating toner/serum I use a polnish brand called Lynia. Their NMF toner has approximately 3% urea, 2% niacinamide, mixture of different amino acids and lactic acid. It costs only 5 EUR. For oil cleanser I use the Chifure one from Japan. It's mineral oil based without any middle chained triglycerides or synthetic esters which can break me out badly. It's also way more efficient than The Ordinary squalane cleanser. I never use eye cream. Instead I dab some 0.1% retinaldehyde then follow with CeraVe in the tub on my resistant eye area.

I gotta say, that Red Rose marshmallow hot chocolate stevia combo tea flavor frightens me! Glad you enjoy it, though. I'll take the Pique hibiscus one, thank you!

I get a body exam once a year & have done this for many years! My daddy had Melanoma so I’m careful! TFS!🥰

Thanks for the heads up on drinking oolong tea! I prefer anti-aging in the body to live longer. ❤️

I use the Lancome serum all the time, Love it.

I like the idea of the Fenty packaging. I’m always leaving lotion etc in the bottom of containers because the pump can’t access all the lotion. Something that pushed it along would be great.

I love drinking tea. I drink green, oolong, black, herbal ones like hibiscus, rooibos, and chamomile. It's also part of the Asian culture so it's just very natural for me but I really lean into it because of the health benefits as well

I also like the Neogen Toner. Very brightening.

This video is very helpful, my mother use that Lancome serum for many years, and my sister and I started using it last year as well. Although we only bought them when there's a 50% off sales, I will not buy it again.

Lancome used to have a "sensitive" fragrance free version of genefique but I can't find it anymore. I prefer the estee lauder ANR even though I know it's overpriced. I haven't used it in a long time but I do miss it.. sometimes you can get it at costco

Fenty's packaging is, to my understanding, guided by how easy it is to use with long nails. Cleansing balms that come in a jar can be very difficult to use with long nails, as can eye creams in a small jar, so in both cases, Fenty's packaging is better for long nails.

We have a little dog pasture behind the corner from where we live.

Morning!

I love your honest review Dr. Dray. I used to work for a lot of luxury skincare companies. And the only take away I have from all the trainings is beautiful stories, star ingredients and small studies. Many people don’t like the dermatologist side of luxury opinion, because they think, only luxury is good skincare. But they are all the same, ingredients are the key, the packaging is the rest. Many companies didn’t talk about Vitamin E, Nicinamide etc. in their formulations, only about the star extract. So people in the industry (not all) really don’t have any clue about skin care and what they tell you and offer you in the end, which is really scary for your face and money you will spend.

There are many new Retinol products in the Korean skincare market these days. It seems like OTC Retinol only recently became an ingredient in Korean brands. 2 years back I could only find Paula's Choice but now Korean brands such as CosRX, Innisfree, Mamonde, Some by Mi, Frankly, Simplica, Doctors etc have their own Retinol products. Can you please review these products.

I drink Green Tea in extreme amounts daily. I was actually gauging the length of time that I have been drinking GT consistently (daily) and I started in 2005.

Lancôme Génifique I received in a purchase with purchase during Xmas. 9 Lancôme items for $75. Score just counting this 1oz size plus the eye cream. It’s just luxury Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid. I will try them when my current vitamin C runs out.

Oh yeah I hate how insurance companies try to control everything in there not Physicians. Finally got some more tretinoin and they said it was covered or discounted if I got it through their drugstore were there mail order pharmacy but the kept quoting me sizes that I kept telling them it doesn't come in that size, you know grams versus milligrams and when I finally got someone who knew what they were talking about, the discounted amount was 50 something dollars more than the amount I had to pay at the drugstore out of pocket. We can tell that they really want to help me but of course they don't know what I'm using it for so that probably why they are saying they will cover it. Also I have never met a dermatologist, sad for me that I don't have Dr.Dre, who is visual. No one has ever looked at my nails and only look at what I point out which I feel is a disservice to me because I really should be screened for skin cancer in areas that I can't always see no matter how I manipulate a mirror.

I use the Isntree Bifida Ampoule after seeing a dupe video saying it was an alternative to the Lancombe serum. I love it and it’s really improved the hydration and condition of my skin. I’ve been using it about a year and it’s a staple now. No plans to spend 5xs more for Lancombe😂

Loose leaf organic green tea brewed at 160 degrees for 3 minutes is my favorite afternoon warm beverage. Any matcha I have tasted just isn't my jam.

My son had one dr that we stayed a little longer and talk about his eczema, but we moved since. The first time I visited was to check on a mark my mom had and we asked about a mark I had, which that made us so happy because he removed the cyst I had right there and answered so many questions. (Iv had these cysts for 16 yrs more then one some in the same places because drs didn’t remove the sack). Sorry so long. But I’m mad, last time they didn’t explain anything about this rosacea, I have a little and the medicine doesn’t work and it peals off.
