Barrier creams saved my hands during the pandemic tbh. I work in pharmacy, and the amount of times I washed my hands in a day probably quadrupled after the pandemic started. I was just using one of those little EOS pocket hand creams and it was doing very little to help me out. I started using the aquaphor baby ointment instead, just because we had some extra in the pharmacy, and it was an absolute game changer.

Nothing in those products can lighten your lips. I would look at your other skin care. Did you use a lightening agent and inadvertently put it on your lips? Aquaphor nor Vaseline have no Lightening agents therefore they are not the culprit.

I just had a really bad burn on my wrist from boiling hot water. Putting Theraplex and a compression bandage on it was a game changer. The skin was getting tight and scaly so after the blistering went away I covered it tightly and it started to heal remarkably well. I think a video on compression for wound healing would be a good idea because it was very hard for me to find information on and it wasn’t mentioned to me by the doctors or nurses that did the dressing at the ER or the follow up.

I'm not a dermatologist, but my understanding is that some types of wound care are really complicated and challenging, probably too much so for a video.

But some basic tips for handling everyday cuts and scrapes (and burns!) is a great idea!

Hi Dr. Dray, thank you for sharing your insights with us. I use tretinoin daily and my skin loves it but my jaw and neck are constantly irritated from shaving 2-3 times a week , even though I go slow, pre oil my face to protect and lubricate my skin, use a sulfate-free shaving cream and a safety razor with a fresh blade every time. Would you recommend using any of the products mentioned today to help repair my skin at nights? And do you have any recommendations for daytime products that might help with repair as well?

@tinksspixiedust Жыл бұрын

My body won’t tolerate most petrochemicals, so I use shea butter instead. I don’t know if it’s as effective as petrolatum, but it seems to work for me. I have a severe allergy to lanolin, which lets out a lot of skincare. With allergies, it’s important to know all of the different names for the allergen so you can find them in ingredients lists. I can’t handle salicylates either, and they seem to be in lots of skincare under many different names. Having an allergic reaction to something severely impacts my skin barrier. So I have to be very careful about what I use.

I'm currently battling a case of blepharitis and my never ending angular cheilitis. The angular cheilitis has bothered me for about 10 years off and on. Up until about 5 years ago NOBODY knew what it was! I asked at least a handful of regular MDs and they had no idea! It finally took a dermatologist to tell me what it was! Go figure. 😁 I've been using Aquaphor but after viewing your video, I think I'll be getting the CeraVe Healing Ointment. Might as well. I'm a CeraVe girl, anyway. 😁 I recently got a tub of their cleansing balm. Like Dr. Dray said in a recent video, it's just okay. I prefer my Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm...which my daughter calls my "bougie balm." Yes, it is $60 but you get almost three times the standard size. (It's a big tub.) Plus, it's very luxurious and I love gently messaging it all over my face for a good 3-5 minutes. (Don't judge me. 😆) Dr. Dray said the CeraVe Balm smells like buttered toast. I knew it had a very faint scent that I couldn't put my finger on. Now I think of buttered toast every time I use it. 😆

Whatever you put on your skin for acne, or any other skin care, will be boosted because it keeps the products from drying out, letting the skin get the full effect of any skincare or medication. There are plenty of videos where people with acne say that Vaseline (100% petrolatum) was helpful because it kept the med from drying out their skin, thus allowing the full effect.

This comb has been great and im seeing the best improvement than any other opts ive done in the past. My questions are 1) I'm noticing more peeling than I have with the other %s of tret. Would using cerave help with this? Ive tried the sandwich method doesnt help it. 2) Does cerave clog pores to where it would cause more acne to appear if i use it? How often should i use it? 3)if i do end up using cerave wouls i put that on first or my moisturizer? I currently use am wise a water rinse only, vitamin c serum, then vanicream lotion. PM i use cerave foaming oil cleanser, on tret nights i let my face dry then apply pea size to wholw face then vanicream moisturizing lotion (thicker one). On non tret nights i cleanse then moisturizer. Any suggestion would be helpful to help with this peel=( I have tried la roch posay double repair that didn't help even in combo w the others.

Mercury is very VERY bad for you and if you bleach your skin you have to continue, if you use hydroquinone them u have to give it a break for about 2 or 3 months and use something like faded then after you can use your product with hydroquinone for 3or 4 so you have to 3 or 4 months on and then break use something else ..

It's been a year since your post, so I don't know if you found something that works. I have combination skin, oily t-zone, and I have always had flakes in the cleft of my nose, eyebrows, redness in my cheeks that suddenly appeared, including super dry, scabby, flaky skin in my ears. Seems like seborrheic dermatitis. I started using Nizoral shampoo for a face wash every 2-3 days. I also lather, take a Q-Tip, get some on there, and pass it on my ears, especially in the opening. It worked. Helps with the itch also. But if you do use this, left it on for about 3 minutes, and rinse it out with a wash rag.

Lots of great info! I have intertrigo in the groin area and will start using a barrier cream. Does this mean I don't need to use an anti fungal cream, too?

I have chronic angular cheilitis but I found that as long as I use a skin barrier (I use plain ol Vasline), I do not ever get it. If I stop using it, it always comes back. Angular cheilitis is a fungal issue too, so that being said, sometimes a skin barrier is sufficient at keeping fungal issues away without the need for anti fungal creams. So try it out and see if using a skin barrier ointment works for you. 😊

10:22 You raise a great point about barrier creams potentially blocking active ingredients from penetrating the skin. I notice in the morning, it seems like the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser doesn't fully remove the CeraVe Healing Ointment I applied the night before. Is there a proper way to wash off these barrier creams so that sunscreens and acne products can penetrate the skin and work effectively? Should we use a different kind of cleanser when using a barrier cream?

@monicaduncan7109 Жыл бұрын

If your skin can handle it, you could use a foaming cleanser or micellar water to remove Cerave healing ointment in the morning or maybe use less so you haven’t got excess ointment on the skin in the morning. I have very dry skin (eczema) so everything is absorbed by the morning.

@GpD79 Жыл бұрын

@@monicaduncan7109 You know, I never know how much healing ointment to use! I feel like I always put on more than I need, because I don't like how it pulls on the skin when I try to apply it and I don't have enough. My face skin is mostly okay, except I am trying to stave off some eczema on my eyelid at the moment. The solution I've turned to is using some tissue in the morning to wipe off any excess healing ointment that may still be on my face. Doing that first has helped a lot in removing all of it. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment!

Excellent topic! I just bought a barrier cream for the sandwich method with the tretinoin that I'm starting, so watching with interest! 😀 Does Xeracalm AD cream count as a barrier cream? I read creams must have actual ceramides to restore the skin and not just emollients & occlusives, so I'm confused

@satutoivonen9679 Жыл бұрын

I use the thicker, even more occlusive version of that, the balm version. These are both definitely barrier creams. Ceramides are not a must, even vaseline on its own can be considered a barrier cream. These Avène creams do have other ingredients besides just occlusives and emmolients. Mine has skin-identical ingredients like glycerin, arginine and glysine as well as vit. E, I'm pretty sure the cream version has them too. This balm just saved my life: I think what happened was that last month the plague virus triggered my atopic dermatitis that hasn't bothered me since childhood. Then of course winter weather came early this year. I thought I was going to loose my mind with the infernal itching. Two-three weeks of daily application of this Avène balm on my whole body and I'm complitely itch free at the moment. Can recommend.

@Hvitlys Жыл бұрын

@@satutoivonen9679I use the baume myself, on my whole body ❤️👌🏻👌🏻😍 But wondering about the face, since I've read you need actual ceramides to help your skin (as antiaging, and so on). I'm >40 so even more crucial, as ceramides decline with age. In the skin cycling method they recommend ceramides and not just emollients / petrolatum and so on. So I'd like to know about this!

@satutoivonen9679 Жыл бұрын

@@Hvitlys The research is far from conclusive on ceramides so there are as many opinions as there are skinfluencers. It's not really known whether ceramides applied topically in a cream can replenish ceramides in the skin. Some say you need a cream that has three different ceramides (there are 9 in the skin) in particular percentages for them to get into the skin. Some say they're not going to get into the skin anyway. Some say all ceramides in all creams are good for the barrier. So take your pick! 😃 I've decided not to care (I'm 40+ too). If you happen to live in Scandinavia (just looking at your handle here) a great, super thick barrier cream with ceramide 3 is Locobase Repair by a a Swedish company, Karo Pharma.

In regard to the order of application to avoid negating the efficacy of products: in the evening, I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser, differin adapalene gel, Cetaphil intensive moisturizer with ceramides, followed by Medline Remedy Intensive Skin Therapy with Hydraguard-D dimethicone cream, followed by Aquafor Healing Ointment for slugging hands, face, and neck, then sleep with gloves and a hoody on to prevent rub-off onto sheets. In the mornings, I water rinse and apply the Cetaphil intensive moisturizer with ceramides, followed by the Medline Remedy Intensive Skin Therapy Hydraguard-D. I let that sink in while dressing, then return to apply Cotz Face Prime and Protect Sheer Matte mineral sunscreen, the best sunscreen I’ve ever used, followed by a dusting of baby powder to absorb shine and oils throughout the day, and Dermablend Professional setting powder. I love how elastic this allows my skin to feel, while remaining protected from elements, and addresses the sensitivity I’ve developed due to climate, hormones, aging, stress, allergies. I’m fifty and have recently become allergic to detergent and body wash fragrance; a switch to unscented detergent and Dove body wash has removed my skin rashes and itch. Even at fifty, I still have acne, hence the Differin, saving my skin, with anti-aging benefits as well! Cheers!
