As doctor passionate about skin care that delivers results and well aging I want to help you quickly and efficiently pick a skin care regime that works, by explaining the science behind skin and by sharing quick product reviews.
I am a big believer that creating a skincare routine that targets your specific concerns is not a matter of your budget. There are many great affordable brands out there: The Inkey List, Good Molecules, Geek & Gorgeous or pixi to name a few of my favorites, and if you know how to combine them, you are well on your way to healthy and happy skin.
Healthy and happy skin does not mean "flawless" - whatever that might be. I have been struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation and postinflammatory erythema (PIH / PIE) for most of my adult life, and it took me a while to figure out that gentle is key. I went through a retinol damaged skin barrier, acne flare ups and sun damage until I finally reached a happy place: With Tretinoin, sunscreen and of course a red lipstick!

Hi dr , how many weeks use licorice powder , get good results? Pls reply
Is it oil free non comedogenic good for sensitive skin
non comedogenic is a marketing term, but yes, the whole line is formulated with sensitive, acne prone skin in mind.
In korean beauty industry they have typically 'tone up sunscreen' which is the white cast is on purpose. And for me, this sunscreen is the best tone up sunscreen, they not greasy and my skin hydrated well❤
I have noticed that about many of their products, the white cast is actually wanted and part of the claims.
About five years ago, I went on a vacation and my body was covered with hives after going to the beach . Now whenever I’m exposed to the sun, whatever part of my body is exposed I start developing hives. Within about 30 minutes. I don’t know what triggered it. I was in my mid-40s but nothing else has changed. I’ve always worn high SPF sunblock. Now I take an allergy pill when I know I’m going to be out in the sun and that seems to help reduce it some, I still use SPF and sunshirts and preventative clothing to cover up. I take a vitamin D supplement along with general supplements for health. I am brown skinned so I and I never had this happen when I was younger. I just started talking Astaxanthin as a supplement and I’m hoping it will help. Have you heard of this supplement? I’m trying anything.
I have heard of the supplement and hope it will be helpful for you. Was it recommended by your treating doctor?
Hi Dr Anne I’ve been watching your videos about RF and LED mask, I’m planning to buy an RF machine but I have a dental implant on my lower jaw both sides, do you think there will be a reaction?
I can't say, as that is very individual. I have a dental implant on one side and never experienced any issues personally, but that doesn't mean it won't happen for you. Most devices have a good return policy though.
I use two head and shoulders, my head itches still. ❤❤❤
Some of them can be pretty harsh.
Do you use scalp care already?
Can I use purito B5 panthenol on my eczema and acne prone skin?
If you suffer from acne and eczema, I strongly suggest seeing a doctor to treat the underlying condition before experimenting with any skincare.
I'm already in medication but I cant seen to find any moisturizer that helps me without triggering. Doctor gave me eczema relief creams that triggers acne and acne relief cream got ingredients that triggers eczema. I can't seem to find anything affordable or available.
@@kimsarah9749 I understand. It will take trial and error. This cream is one you could try and I don't think it will trigger eczema, but it might not work well for your acne. Quite often creams like this can help tolerate acne treatments though and work in the long run.
Thankyou! I hope it works💖
i like your review... simple, short and direct! <3 Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words.
Very nice thank for sharing mam
You are welcome.
I keep only my tretinoin cream in the fridge because my pharmacy recommended this to me and they prepare it there locally. I also used to keep my ascorbic acid serum in the fridge but I have stopped using it for a while because I had a sensitive skin. I only use my regular fridge though and it doesn't take up that much space and I wouldn't buy a fridge just for skincare products. You wouldn't want to see my skincare altar though, it's getting way too big by now XD
I love that you call it your altar!
I use tretnoine but burning sensation what can I do which sunscreen which moisturizer which serum and which toner im from india my skin is normal sensetive im 41 years
You mean you get a burning sensation from your Tretinoin?
@@DoctorAnne I'm not sure what is causing the burning sensation, it's probably tretinoine, please help me with this , can I have your Instagram?
@@lightsglamourandfashion9727 My Instagram handle is in the video description, but I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions online. It would help you the most to see a doctor in real life, not online.
Which sunscreen use with tretnoine 025 please help me my skin is normal sensetive skin and which moisturizer use with tretnoine please reply
Any moisturizer that works for your skin and won't contain actives. Same goes for sunscreen, pick the one you enjoy and that offers broad spectrum protection.
@@DoctorAnne which active contain pl s explain dr
@@lightsglamourandfashion9727 Actives as in: retinoids, exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide.
@@DoctorAnne thanks Dr
@@lightsglamourandfashion9727 You are welcome
Oh Dr Anne, Belgium is also having a rainy July this year... still dreaming for lots of sunny days haha. I'm considering buying the Omnilux LED mask but I'm scared I will use it a couple of times and then forget about it.
I haven't given up hope for some sun either, but right now it is pretty sad.
I'd love for you to review the Light Salon Boost neck collar 1st! I'm contemplating getting a LED mask specifically for my neck cos I've seen good results using one for my face 😁
I already started using it, but it will need time until I can see if there are changes. So far I haven't used LED for the neck.
Can I use for oily skin??
Yes.
Do you prefer this product or the copper peptide of the ordinary?
I prefer it in texture, but would, if I had to chose, always opt for a dedicated copper peptide serum.
I'm using the mcsypoal microcurrent device and a gel specifically made for these devices but I am getting many shock like feelings! But when the gel dries it no longer shocks. Am I supposed to feel this feeling?
I can't answer that as I don't know the device. But using it shouldn't be painful. Have you contacted the company?
So informative, not just on this particular product, but peptide serums in general and especially liberating that you can mix them with other actives
Thank you, I am glad you found it helpful.
thank you. I have combination skin and suffer from homonal acne on my chin. do you think that it can clog pores? :)
What clogs your pores can be different to what clogs mine, as there are many factors involved, but I did not to find this problematic for my skin.
Hello, I would like to ask, if I go for example for a run in the evening, I remove my makeup with double cleansing, put on spf since working out outside and then double cleansing afterwards again? I still haven’t really found an answer to this question, and cleansing my face twice seems a little to harsh and unnecessary, so what should I do?
I would personally either remove my makeup with a quick cleanse or just leave it on, then go for a run and then cleanse thoroughly afterwards. It isn't the makeup per se, it is the makeup sitting on the skin paired with sweat and dirt for a prolonged period of time, so unless you are trainig for a marathon, removing the makeup and everything else afterwards shouldn't cause an issue. Everyones skin is different though, so that is just what I would do.
This is the best explanation I’ve heard regarding the benefits of this serum. I’m enjoying it.
Thank you.
Something about putting a metal on my face, copper, screams NO!
They are everywhere around you anyway, even in the water you drink (and probably wash your face with). It is all about the concentration.
Have you tried Niche Beauty Lab Theramid Copper Peptide? It has 3% copper peptide & 13% other peptides.
No, I wasn't familiar with that one.
What do you think about this blend?
Thank you Dr Anne! A peptide serum without oiliness sounds intriguing. Currently I have some acne that won't go (I'm suspecting fungal acne) and can't handle lot of oily products which is a challenge with regards to SPF as well. I really wonder though if a topical ingredient, even if encapsulated, can reach the fibroblasts.
I have a video on fungal acne waiting to be released in the next few weeks - happy coincidence I guess.
@@DoctorAnne Yay I'll be waiting for that one :D I've dealt with regular hormonal acne in the past but this is noticeably something different and all the symptoms match of fungal acne. Currently treating it with a selenium sulfide shampoo I still had from when I had dandruff after a stressful time and also Daktarin cream with miconazolnitrate
@@isabellavantichel4459 Fingers crossed that will solve the problem.
Thank you! I have been looking forward for this review
I hope it didn't disappoint. Will you be trying it?
@@DoctorAnne Yes I think so. I get along well with peptides and really think I need them (58) At the moment I´m in love with MARY&MAY - Calendula Peptide Ageless Sleeping Mask
@@tinedanielsson1531 Tell me how this one compares once you got it.
Aha! i knew i was hearing germany akzent here and there.
Guilty as charged.
Can i use it with ordinary niacinamide?
Yes.
hi! thanks for the video. Is it necessary to use sun protection for all life after melasma removal?
Well, sun protection is necessary with out without melasma, but yes, it gets even more important. Depending on how you treated the melasma, the underlying changes in the skin, the accumulation of melanocytes in he area affected, is still there. Only the pigment is temporarily gone. And when there is a new trigger, they will start to produce the pigment again.
Is the Maysama Led mask FDA approved? On its webpage it says FDA certificate level 1, what does it mean?
It means cleared by the FDA in the sense that the device is cleared to provide minimal harm to consumer. Approved would mean approved for medical treatment, which it is not. And to be clear most masks are not.
Hi mam ... Im here with a question out of the box ... I have been using asantee papaya soap since early teenage now its been 2-3 years tat i have got rid of the soap n my face complexion have turned very full with pimples on my forehead ...i have tried saveral products bt nothing works .... So can u help me ...also i have uterine fibroid for which im under medication do can fibroid be the reason behind the darkening of face ?
Medications and changes in the body can be the cause of skin darkening, but to see what is the reason in your specific case isn't something I can say. You need to see a doctor in person that can get a full medical history and exam.
@@DoctorAnne okay thank you so much
Being a doctor would u recommend asantee papaya soap for face
@@Aaaabeenn I am not familiar with the product, so I can't say.
@@Aaaabeenn You are welcome.
Hand on heart - have you ever been tempted by the ones you see online?
Tempted yes, they are cute looking sometimes too but I don't want them to take up extra space and unnecessary energy
@@isabellavantichel4459 Resist temptation and focus on reason it is then.
I am in my early 50s, lately attracted to the potential of peptides as anti-aging. May I know if the ordinary argireline 10% is an effective solution for aging? Can the ordinary argireline 10% be used with the ordinary buffet + copper peptide 1%?
It can, but more isn't more. The question is what you would consider an effective solution for aging, like what do you want your products to do? And then what are you using already? Peptides are nice, but other things have more evidence behind them.
@@DoctorAnne I have sensitive and fragile skin I guess, I can’t tolerate vitamin c or niacinamide percentage above 2%, and my skin cannot use skincare with slicone(hence I am not able to use any sunscreen because over 98% of them comes with silicone). As such, I don’t even dare to try retinol/retinoid kind of stuffs. This is the main reason I am turning to peptide. I have actually started with cosrx 6 peptides serum(with peptides in low concentration), as a preparation and test before going for high concentration peptides skincare. So far, my skin does not react against the peptides. Fyi, previously I have actually tried the Goodal green tangerine vita c serum and get a shock of my life when my face(near my mouth, about 1cm in diameter) suddenly shrinking and sagging the day after applying the serum. So I am not going to bet it on retinol/retinoid. I am actually worry if the peptide could cause further sagging to be honest. Do you have any option asides from peptide or retinol/retinoid? Sorry for the long description, but I think it is necessary to describe my skin fragility and sensitivity.
@@danieltay1052 Well, if you don't tolerate most things, stick to the ones you do tolerate. What exactly is the problem with silicones? They are usually very inert and don't cause reactions.
@@DoctorAnne it will cause milia like bumps popping up on my face within hours of usage
Vielleicht wäre so ein Kühlschrank etwas für m nie Medikamente, die nicht über 25 Grad gelagert werden dürfen… Meine Wohnung ist im Somner deutlich wärmer 😬.
Unbedingt. Ich hab meine Migräne-Antikörper auch im Kühlschrank. Wirkungslose Medikamente sind noch schlimmer als wirkungslose Hautpflege!
@@DoctorAnne genau
So glad you posted this and I hope people watch and learn. When I first got into skin care, I asked a company if I should store the serum in the refrigerator- they said no and explained everything you said ( this was the regimen lab level serum). It can really negativity affect products . So often in Facebook groups etc I try explain this to them ( eg products stability, formulated to be used within certain temp ranges etc). Thank you. Really do love your content- sometimes I just want to get all the info and no waffle ( but I really do love long, ‘waffle’ or in-depth videos too- love learning every detail and mechanism of action certain ingredients and products have)
Thank you for these encouraging words! Quite often feels like talking into the void, it is so nice to hear someone resonates with what you say.
woah the painting in the back is amazing
Thank you. It was filmed in a holiday home in France, so sadly not mine.
Hello doctor could you please tell me if i can use the brightening capsule cream for acne prone skin? Im already using the ampoule and face wash from the same range So can i top it up with the capsule cream or should i use it in some-other time? Please let me know ❤
You can, but how your skin reacts is individual to you and I can't predict it. I don't think there is harm in trying though.
I've used many different serums, cream, toners, but every time I do, I get pimples and my skin gets worse. I've been using for months. Recently, I read someone's feedback and began applying litleexttra rice berry vitamin c face serum. It's working well, and I don't have pimples issues anymore. My skin looks better than ever. At times, I also use a besan facepack, which makes it glow even more.
I am glad it works so well for you.
I am obsessed with this serum. I have a big stock at home.😂Keep the bottle upside down if you don t want to be frustrated with the design bottle.
Very good tip, thank you.
The Microcurrent Dose is Critical kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqKM16pyoc3WZbQ.htmlsi=Bz86MSkLfPx8idDG
You have Doctor Abs 0:54 saying don’t waste your time and Doctor Anne saying give it a go….. It’s so hard to make a decision when you have two professionals disagreeing.
Doctor Anne also says: The foundation of a good skincare routine is not devices, so only give it a go when you a) will use it consistently, b) have the money to spare, c) are okay with subtle results: It is certainly not something everyone needs.
@@DoctorAnne I’m using the Medicube Booster Pro and Medicube Age R Usserra Deep Shot I live in New York I’m turning 62 I would normally pay the same amount for a facial worst thing that can happened is more circulation to my face and neck which is not a bad thing 🤣i’m also doing derma roller once a week plus tretinoin, every other day and as of now no filler or Botox.
@@RobertoRiosbiz Okay, living in New York expensive surely means something else to you than it does to me living in Germany! I assume if you use the Medicube Deep Shot, you won't be seeing much additional effects with microcurrent. I have that one too and it made quite a difference (for an at home device at least).
You're just So Gorgeous 🥰 Anyways Have a nice weekend luv✌️
Have a nice weekend too.
@@DoctorAnne🎉❤
Genetic ? 🤔damn parents ! 🤣🤨😒
You can blame them for almost anything.
@DoctorAnne Haha I do 🤣🖖
Perfect vit.C serum.
Still my favorite.
And there is beauty of joseon red beans water gel it's a face Moisturizer can i use it for my eyes?
You can use moisturizers that don't contain irritating ingredients also around the eyes. I don't know that specific one, so I can't comment on how it will perform though.
@@DoctorAnne thank you so much💗💗
@@ahogretarefalto You are welcome.
I don't use makeup can i use it as a normal cleanser for my eyes also??
You can try. It might burn depending on how sensitive your eyes are.
How do I know if this is caused by oral thrush? If I just have a cracked corner on my lip but no white stuff in my mouth could it be caused by other factors and not candida?
If you want to be sure, you can see a doctor for assessment. Yes, it could be caused by other things, or it was caused by other things and then candida came on top.
@@DoctorAnne but if it’s caused by candida would my tongue and mouth be affected as well? Or would it only be on the lips? I keep getting angular chelitis on my lips only, the inside of mouth and tongue look normal, there is no white patches anywhere
@@maheen158 It could be just there as the skin there is damaged. But I can't offer you a diagnose here, you need to consult a doctor for that.
Is the Daily Brightening Serum more effective if used together with the Discoloration Correcting Serum? Because I'm using the Daily Brightening for AM, and the Discoloration Correcting Serum for PM. Is this okay?
It is okay. Both contain different ingredients that target different parts of the hyperpigmentation pathway, so combining them could be helpful. There are a few helpful ingredients missing in both, so you could maybe see more effect with other products. I have a playlist on that topic here that might offer some insights: kzread.info/head/PLS4f9KQyE76t3WaE5G962U3javymSvENL
Would your pigmentation come back if you stop using it ? Any negative side effects we should know before using tranexenic acid?
Potential side effect are discussed in the video. And yes, pigmentation can always come back if there is a new trigger.
