“If you want fragrance, buy perfume” - such a simple statement

No dermatologist spends this much time explaining things to patients. You are a godsend! I have wasted a lot money in the past buying bad products. Then came along "Life According to Dr. Dray." I am forever grateful for your advice, your wry humor, your time and expertise. Blessings upon you, your mom and little Tybee! You truly rock, Dr. Dray!!!

"I'm a Board Certified Dermatologist" a.k.a. actually qualified to give advice and information on the given subject, unlike 99% of random creators existing in the "ether", that feel compelled to give out public advice on subjects they have little or no knowledge of. Sorry, not sorry. Much respect to Dr. Dray and her expertise. I really enjoy her videos.

Changes I’ve made since finding Dr. Dray-- Running from all the expensive “clean” beauty products that are filled with essential oils, double cleansing only once a day, drying my hair with a t-shirt, using all the oat products, slathering that sunscreen on daily and incorporating more drug store skincare products. So happy with my routines now, thank you for all you do!! 💜

“Sounds like a candle - not a product for acne ”...priceless! 👊🏼🙌🏼🤣🙏🏼

"It sounds like a candle, not a cream for acne" -- it's scary how many skincare products are like this! Removing fragrances from my skincare has helped my acne immensely!

Please do more on expensive skin care that really doesn’t work.

Yessss!!! Could you also make a video about expensive products that actually are worth the money and hype?

Dr. Dray really woke up this morning and felt like ending a few brands 🤣🤣🤣

I'm a cosmetic chemist & wholeheartedly agree with Andrea. I get the same frustration when I see outlandish celebrity skincare claims & prices. Another brand that is highly overpriced is La Mer.

Love an authentic roast, saving me spending my money where I don’t need to!

Dr dray be like : How to cause bankruptcy in one video 😂

I'm all about calling out skincare that isn't worth it, and putting the spotlight on great alternatives!

I need you to do all of the overpriced Sephora skincare products and say if they are worth the price or not. And say when it helps to spend a little bit more money, and when its just throwing your money down the drain.

I hate liars. Paying so much money for nothing is a lie, a hard one. This should be prohibited. This is too much.

I love your take downs of misleading product claims. I rarely buy a new product without searching through your video library first.

*My fingers just don’t know how to click fast enough for this one*

Glow recipe products are all about fragrance and aesthetic to me. Definitely something I don’t care for when it comes to my skin.

SO MANY brands are saying “fragrance free” now when they have EOs ifs infuriating !

Wow! $88 for a product with the same retinyl palmitate as a $10 cream from the drugstore. Love my "gentler retinol cream", FF Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair for $22 with actual retinol. It has improved my sunspots very noticeably and my skin is soft, smooth and not irritated. Like you I'm so tired of the claims that essential oils are somehow safer than synthetic fragrance in skincare. Happy Monday Dr. Dray! :)

I could never be more grateful. I love dr. Dray so much.

Just roasted other skincare youtubers I watched Hyram: Shani Darden Susan Yara: Elemis James Welsh: Glow Recipe

I genuinely admire professionals like you, who have the courage to speak up about the false claims of products whose formulation is not backed by any studies or science, educating the consumers on what to look for instead and providing better, more affordable alternatives.

Until I found your channel I spent years not knowing what to use and not knowing what to do. I was buying over priced cosmetic creams from khiels and I didn't even use sunscreen. About two years ago I found your channel and have been using crave pm, cream i the tub and vanicream and using neutrogena with sa and Cetaphil cleanser and off and on I use tretinoin which I got a few tubes from a pharmacy in Istanbul. AND I use la roche sun screen. Thank you-- I mean it I feel empowered

I see you rocking that colorful top. Love the pop of color and sleeve detail! 😃

That color and shirt is really flattering on you!!!

Exactly why I rarely buy skincare at Sephora

Thank you for the options. Some of us don't have the $ to spare

Yaasss! This is the energy we need for 2021. 🙌

Yes! Thank you!! Love this type of video for educational purposes and to illuminate marketing tactics vs facts. Augustin Bader products would be interesting to see you discuss!

This has to be one of my favorite videos! You debunk so many things that I didn't know about (like the succinic acid - I am treating acne and I looked at the Inkey List one thinking maybe it was something revolutionary - or Elemis, which I see in magazines and thought it was too expensive for me but probably amazing before I started to learn about skincare). Thank you, thank you, thank you for your incredible work ❤

It is so refreshing to listen to someone who actually KNOWS what they're talking about, has credentials and is brave enough to tell the truth.

And of course Hypocrite *SENSITIZER* Hyram highly recommended that Glow Recipe serum even though he always discourages his cult members to buy anything that has fragrance.

I love when Dr Dray comes for expensive misleading brands 🙌🙌

"If you want fragrance, buy perfume..." - that's a groundbreaking recommendation! Who would've ever thought that? Clearly not skincare companies. Now if we could get rid of fragrance in laundry detergent, too, that'd be great.

Thank you for educating us consumers, we're saving so much money and letting these companies know we're not going to be duped to buying into their false claims!

One of my favorite kind of dr dray video: exposing overpriced and not worth your money skincare products

Living for this video. Pls make more videos calling out overhyped products. 🥺

Having watched you consistently for nearly 2 years now, I am loving how your humor and edits are portrayed lately! Love the content as always!

Yay, skincare roasting! I always wondered about Elemis, off to watch!

I love that I've never even heard of these. I just do what works and walk on by. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I’d love to see your reviews on medical grade products

This kind of video is super interesting, very helpful, and much appreciated...especially the comic relief spliced in for the LOLs!

I LOVE Glow Recipe 🥰🥰🥰 I totally agree on it being overpriced, but it really saves/saved my skin🙌

I was considering this LRP SPF but was suspicious of it. I am so proud you confirmed my concerns but I still hope LRP will come up with a good tinted SPF 😊

I would love more videos like this one! Where you talk about expensive products that are unnecessary. I was pretty close to buying the glow recipe serum and you just saved me some money :)

Aaaaand this is why I adore Dr. Dray. Dropping straight facts and skincare backed science. ❤️

THANK YOU FOR THIS! You have saved me so much money over the years.

Reminds me of the last time I went to my dermatologist and tried to explain The Glow Recipe's Banana Souffle moisturizer, lol. I'm sure she thought I was an idiot but I still love that moisturizer!

I just recently discovered your channel and I truly appreciate all the information you put out. It’s so educational and I wish I had found you a long time ago! (It would have saved me a lot of $$$). I would love to know more about you! Please consider talking about your med school/residency journey ❤️

I used to love Shiseido but I realized it's just nice packaging with enchanting fragance hahaha Nivea it's my lion anyways

So glad you did this video! I received a sample of retinol reform, and while I did like the effects of it, I know that the lactic acid helped my skin, not the retinol. I can find an effective lactic acid for much less!

I’m SO glad you talked about the GR avocado serum! I was very close to spending my money on this.

Im telling you when i found out that glow recipe's new product that everyone seems to be crazy about in the thumbnail i laughed so hard😂😂 to be honest i find it expensive for no reason..

“It sounds like a candle, not a cream”- honestly that made me laugh too much.

I appreciate you so much. Using your recommendations has greatly improved my skin. Cheaply, I must say. I trust your judgment and these products must as well go to cosmetic purgatory.

love the honesty and thanks so much

I am HERE for this type of content. I HATE misleading products 🙄

You are amazing for doing this for us regulars who are just trying to not get ripped off and appreciate the teachings you offer. Thank you soooooo much.

"If you want fragrance buy perfume" got me deceased! 😆

Dr. Andrea is being feisty today. HERE FOR IT.

You're the only one Keeping it real ❤️

I'm always here for a Dr. Dray roast.

Thank you so much for spilling the tea 💕. You’re looking so elegant by the way!

Oh the Julia Child laugh! 🤣💕🤣

I dread to think what I spent on skincare before finding you when you first launched... You are so authentic you’ve never veered of dispatching consistently objective advise since you started And my skin is now fully repaired and positively healthy as a result Can’t thank you enough for sharing Andrea Plus you always make me laugh 😆 Hope your mums ok xxxx

You're amazing- I listen to you, not other "specialists".

Thank you Dr. Dray for your knowledge, expertise and kindness ❤

Can’t believe at one point I was really contemplating on getting that pineapple glow recipe serum lol 😭 thank god for this channel. I changed my skincare completely and I don’t have dermatitis anymore and no longer look like a walking bowl of cornflakes lmao 💖

Happy Monday Dr Dray.

Thanks for adding more cruelty free recommendations!

Thank you, pls never stop what you do. You are a true source to be reckoned with, with your knowledge, credentials, education and commitment to telling your viewers the truth about overpriced, non effective skincare.

Elemis sounds like a prescription drug being promoted on the Hallmark Mystery Channel with smiling people moving in slow motion on a sunny ☀️ day while the narrator is going through 5 minutes of side effects that can make you extinct. Excellent job today and that color is a great Monday uplifter! ☕️🔥⭐️

happy Monday everyone!

I just wished you were on KZfaq 8 years ago when I was wasting my money and skin barrier , trying fixing my oily skin with alcohol based harsh toners, scrubs and face washes. Fast forward to 2017 when I started watching your videos and realised that my skin wasn’t oily, it was dehydrated instead and skin barrier was compromised. I can’t thank you enough for your existence dr. Dray. Because of you I have the best skin of my life. I’m 38 and I never had this clear skin, ever since I hit puberty at 13. Much love, respect and prayers 🥰😍🙏🏽

When I first started watching Dr. Dray I didn't understand the hype and why some fans would watch every single video even if it doesn't apply to them. Now I'm one of them! I would never dream of buying ANY of these and yet here I am! I'm just addicted!!!

Shani Darden's products are so ridiculously overpriced for basic ass products. It's insane.

Thank you Dr Dray, I have no idea why Glow Recipe is so popular.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES! Always down for a good ROAST!

Well said Dr Gray!!! I'm glad you called them out !! Can't trust skincare industry anymore.

I could never justify spending soo much money on Skincare! I am soo here for this video! 🙌🏻

Very informative! I used to be guilty of getting expensive skincare only because I felt like I was getting a superb product and that my skin would look great. Uh...nope. Per your recommendation in a video from a while back, I started using Vanicream facial wash and I haven't looked back. This stuff cleans my skin and removes my makeup w/o drying it out or irritating it. Thank you for sharing ♥

Can you do an updated baby skin care please? With product recommendations 🥰

Wow I never really thought about how much fragrance affects the price, but it makes sense that without a scent the focus is more the product's actual performance than the good smell.

I finally pulled the trigger on Sharni Darden’s retinol serum, thinking I should use a gentle one to start my retinol journey. Guess I will be returning this product. Thank you Dr. Dray~

I've learnt my lesson the hard way, by listening to silly influencers who push expensive products with no credentials in skincare aka Hirons and her motley crew. I'm glad I found Dr Dray and Dr Sam, I've barely spent much money on the products they recommend and my skin has improved so much

Been waiting for a video like this from you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’d love to see a video about OSEA

Oh I’m early! Hello Dr Dray and everyone watching! Hope your are all staying safe and healthy!

That dress is EVERYTHING 💞💞

I like Ellis papaya enzyme cream ( exfoliation) and pro collagen marine cream- have been using them for years as my skin really enjoys them, especially the pcm. I NEVER pay full price however, go without when I can’t get a deal and don’t bother with any other of their products.

Thank you so much for helping us keep money where it belongs - in our pockets. As usual, you're my go-to source for everything skin care. We're so lucky to have you.

Ooooooo I love when you spill the tea sis 😎

I was looking into the Shani Darden products and could not believe that the texture reform and retinol reform were both $88 when the texture reform didnt even have actual retinol in it! I must say that I got the retinol reform and have had great results. I only use a pea size over my entire face so I'm making it last!

I love me some Glow Recipe. I’ve only tried a sample of the one you mentioned, though. I totally agree about it not being occlusive. I generally put my CeraVe cream on top of some of my glow recipe stuff. The GR just feels so great on my skin! Plus the niacinamide dew drops are just so pretty although I am not counting on that niacinamide penetrating previously mentioned occlusive layer. I do other niacinamide as well.

"mainstream science hasn't caught onto this ingredient yet" oh that makes my head hurt

Thank you for this! There are WAY too many gimmicky products out there. Put it in a cute bottle and suddenly it’s worth $50 more. 🙄

I SWEAR I WAS ABOUT TO BUY THE GLOW SERUM (VIB SALE). Cause of my rosacea. Thank God lol.

You look great in pink Dr Dray. Can you do a video of the telling us about the woman in your family and what were there skincare routines when you were a kid.

DR DRAY COULD YOU TALK ABOUT ESTEE LAUDER'S ADVANCED NIGHT SERUM INGREDIENTS & POSSIBLE DRUG STORE DUPE THAT COULD BE FOUND IN WALMART OR CVS ? THANK YOU ♡
