summer near, at 88 have crepey arms, thin skin, so am starting castor oil which is cheap enough for my very low income... rent takes most of my SS. I never used creams as I am lazy about skin care, and got compliments on my skin all my adult life without any care. Have been slathering it on liberaly. Using it 2 times a day for a month and feel it the best all around helpfor a soft healthy skin along with some supplements. 😅 Went into menapause 44 years ago. Limiting stress and getting rid of toxic people is also helpful. cost a few cents a Day ..$! a day for the YMCA which I feel is the best thing for my health, plus fast walking and getting fresh air. Get at least one compliment a day which lifts the ego. Bright lipstick, a smile , and gratitude . I read that Doris Day used castor oil, and it is a ingredient in many expensive skin creams.

It's hormonal changes so start from the inside out not the other way around. Take supplements for menopause and eat healthy, drink water and get proper rest so your body has te to process these changes. Won't happen over night, but stay positive and don't worry about it too much. It's a privilege to go old, take care of yourself first and foremost so you can grow old gracefully and without too much cortisol. One day at a time❤

I would love to see a video on a full am/pm Prequel routine ✨ especially for dry skin!

The multiple pronged approach is so helpful. I hope you're having a good day! As always, many thanks for your videos.

I'm in my late 40s & I've noticed the backs of my hands starting to look slightly crepy. So I've been using Versed's retinol body cream on them at night, plus a Eucerin SPF 30 body lotion during the day. It's helped a lot.

Omg Sam, you are GLOWING. Your makeup is chefs kiss

Yes. Nothing was working for me. I tried various brands and they felt weird. So I got some virgin organic coconut oil and caster oil. I mixed them together and, low and behold, my skin improved so much. It sinks into your skin and smells so good. I love it after a shower and at bedtime. It's not greasy at all. I love it!

I found your come across so effective. I was engaged throughout this video and I will take your advice/direction.

I am 75 years old and in the last few years have developed crepey skin on the under sides of my upper arms, my tummy, and upper thighs. I was taking collagen capsules and found them expensive if you could actually get enough that way. I watched my 90 year old mother's skin before she died almost three years ago and realized that her skin had become so very fragile and would tear easily. I wanted to avoid that problem if I could. I started lifting free weights at home and also taking powdered collagen. It is not a miracle, but it has firmed and thickened my skin so it isn't so crepey or fragile. At almost 76, I'll take it. I also follow a semi vegetarian diet (for over 40 years now) and take quite a few supplements that I have researched over the years.

Thank you for addressing this topic! My post-menopausal skin will benefit so much from this information 😊

I follow all the lifestyle tips that you mentioned-sleep, daily exercise with weight lifting, good nutrition, etc.-all very important-but none of those would be able to do nearly as much without hormone replacement for pre- and postmenopausal women. I cannot stress how great it has been for me over the to decades since menopause! I am a scientist so I always knew the WHI study was grossly taken out of context as I sadly watched my peers age prematurely, lose their sex drive, elasticity of their skin, lose their fun nature and vitality. I am encouraged over the fact that the menopause doctors are onboard with how awesome replacing our estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can be. It is so life changing! Thank you for mentioning it!

Since I use an Rx retinoid on my face for 20 plus years, I add Paula’s choice radiance renewal at night for hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, lock it in with Ordinary squalene or Cosrx mucin. Paula’s choice also makes a body retinol that’s much less costly than neccessaire’s version. I also use an estrogen patch and cream.

Looking forward to a video on oral collagen. I have been using the Amlactin on my hands for 2 years, and there is defiinitely an improvement in the crepiness.

THANK You!!! This video is so helpful! I appreciate your thoroughness! I love listening to you!!!!

Just mix some castoroil with a good Vit C based moisturizer. Works like a charm!

I switch between using Nivea Cream (has to be the jar made in Germany) and Vaseline. Worksperfect on my skin and doesn't cost alot. I also cover ip when in the sun.

Goldbond was good and Maely's burns but i got results! Thanks great video and thank you for the tips. Getting older sucks!!

NO SNAKE OIL SOLD HERE! You are such a lovely contrast to (nearly) all such you tube MDs. So straight forward, so I subscribed

Would love to see a video on skin laxity, especially around the jawline!

At night I like to use either Gold Bond age renew or Cerave cream or Eucerin moisturizer on my arms and after that has absorbed, go in with a layer of Aquaphor ointment or Vaseline on top. You don’t need to really glob on the Vaseline, just a thin layer. I put it on about an hour before bed and haven’t had any issues with it transferring to my bedding. Just moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning

I have been dealing with breast cancer treatment for the past year, however in the middle of this I have managed to make my skin look even better due to some changes in my supplements and routine. I look much younger than I am which is beneficial to me considering I‘ve been a professional career model since I was a teenager, so my looks literally affect my income, haha. I’m 40 now but people always think i’m somewhere between 28 and 32. And I don’t have a complicated 20 step routine. My skin was already fantastic but about a year ago right around the time I was diagnosed, I added a collagen supplement that I drink in my tea once a day, as well as adding a good vitamin C serum and good chemical exfoliants. I have never had Botox or fillers and I don’t have any fine lines around my eyes whatsoever, only two very light lines on my forehead, and slight smile lines. No bad sun spots, discoloration, and I’m soft as a babies butt 😂. I wash with a good cleanser only once a day, followed by vitamin C serum, a good face oil like squalane, then a nice thick moisturizer at night. During the day I do not wash my face, but only use the vitamin C serum, a light moisturizer, and 50 SPF beauty of Joseon sunscreen. Every other day at night I use a chemical exfoliant (do keep in mind that I do not have sensitive skin), and three days a week I use prescription Retin-A. And that’s it! On my own KZfaq I’m sharing my breast cancer journey in order to hopefully help other women with breast cancer, as I’m not shy about showing my breasts, and what they look like through the process. But perhaps besides the breast cancer itself and my reconstruction I should also share my skin routine? Maybe it would help breast cancer sufferers to feel better about how they look and caring for their skin through this rough journey as well? I don’t know, I’m just pondering out loud, lol. If anyone has suggestions for what they think might also help I’m all ears, as I’m used to posing in front of a camera, not talking to one 🤣. But I’m getting much better at it! At least I hope I helped someone reading this as to what they might try skin wise! This was a good video by the Doctor. I love these professionals as apposed to “influencers”.

Very interesting video, thank you. Can you suggest a product for crepey skin on the eyelids please.❤

I'm so glad I found you you're so very helpful thank you for sharing all this wonderful information

Love CeraVe because it’s such a good deal at Costco. I mix in prescription Retin A twice a week and in the other days I just use the CeraVe. Works good for me.

Castor oil directly applied to the skin is fantastic (face, neck or body). For body - Amlactin. Amlactin has lactic acid. It exfoliates, smooths and kicks in moisture. Can buy over the counter. Don’t use on face or neck. And then Aquaphor.

I’ve been using the Necessaire neck serum under moisturizer on the backs of my hands and have been pleased to see the skin looking less crepey, more plumped. (I find it too sticky for my preference to use on my neck, though. 😊)

At 76 I have seen results from oral collagen and hyaluronic acid oral supplements. I have been taking collagen for a few years. About 6 months ago I added the hyaluronic acid pills and I’ve really noticed changes recently. My skin is much improved. I get Botox (mostly to lift my brows to help with deep set eyes) and have had PRP 5 years ago. The dermatologist mentioned my skin looking fantastic and asked about changes. My family med doctor had suggested the pills to help my knee. That improved immensely and I am pain free. Win win I’m going to be more diligent about lotions…especially daytime. I put some on at night sometimes… not regularly enough. I have a bit of an issue on my upper arms but that’s about it. I lift weights and wear sleeves 😂 Gonna break out the lotion and put it where I see it regularly! Thanks for the tips!

I started using Oil of Olay retinol night cream on my face and i put a little on my arm crepies and my neck as well. Also on the back of my hands. Noticeable improvement.

How about Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion 12% Glycolic AHA for crepey skin? It works wonders. I order this from Amazon as my winter moisturizer. In the summer, I mix it with Versed Gentle Retinol Body Lotion (from Target). The combination of the two lotions is not as thick and perfect for summertime moisturizing. You are on the right track, Dr. Sam....retinol and actives for the whole body. Start young, kids. You will be glad you did.

Can you please do a video discussing Dr Brandt skincare and your thoughts? As well as a video on how long products last and open products, etc. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you, my upper arms are awful & will never wear anything sleeveless. Having said that I have had a little improvement by using exfoliating gloves with a splash of E45 bath oil then some Bio Oil which I also swear by for face neck & chest area. I use Aqueous Cream for cleansing face... I am now 73 (very grateful after having being diagnosed with breast cancer at age 50) .. My Doctor nearly gave me an "under 60s Flu Jab" a few weeks ago!

I use a mix of things...Gold Bond has great body moisturizers. I use their one for crepey skin and their retinol one

I use the AMLactin and love it! Should I apply the Body Retinal 0.01% first? Enjoy your journey in life and keep spreading your sunshine.

Thank you. Going into a drug store is overwhelming. I am senior, I do protect my skin from the sun. I am struggling with dry skin lately and I don't want to try twenty products to find one that works.

I'm in my 70's and have noticed a lot of crepey skin on my arms and legs. I tried StriVectin crepe control and tightening body cream. I used it religiously but received ZERO results. I was very disappointed since I spent over $100 for the product. I shall try some of your suggestions and let you know my findings. Thanks for the great video information.

Please do a review on the Goldbond Age Renew Neck and Chest Firming Cream. I use it all over my face and neck, even under my eyes and get instant tightening! 🙌

Metabolic state is key! Aging is often blamed for things that are diet and metabolically related. If you want less crepey skin, eat an animal based, low carb diet and fast for autophagy. Give it a good three months and you will begin to see a difference, although it can take longer for the results you want.

Necessaire neck serum followed by their basic BODY lotion. The latter was a recommendation that came directly from them when I told them the serum was not enough to combat the winter dryness.

Prequel products are amazing! I love the lotion, cleanser and the barrier cream. The cream works so well on eczema!!!

Strivectin makes a hand specific plumping product that really makes a difference. I never see it talked about.

Some time back I looked at the ingredients in Crape Erase, a total joke. I agree with you!

I just started using Necessaire Retinol for my crepey skin on my arms, thank you for confirming this is a good brand, they also make a retinol for your hands. They also have a body peel, my question is can they be used together or should they be used separately? Love your videos

What an excellent video. Thank you!!! I plan to purchase and try many of your recommendations for my upper arms and area above my knees.

Great video and full of info that I can understand. Your lips look great. Boy do I have crepey skin around my eyes...just bought concealer and it brought major attention to it lol!

I’ve had improvement in bounciness if my skin, but several things may contribute. Probably, the biggest was increased estrogen level with HRT. I also added oral collagen to diet, and used NIRA faithfully for the past 10 months. My gut feeling is that the estrogen did the heavy lifting. Nira was helping before but it kicked into high gear after estrogen levels rose.

Hi I'm a new subscriber and I just loved this video... I'm so glad I found you!!! Keep it up and thank you for your great content!

I would love to see a deep dive on collagens. Very intrigued w/ your product line. Thanks for a full perspective.

Yes video on oral collagen! thanks!

I find oral collagen to be extremely helpful. Gold Bond also makes an excellent crepey skin lotion that WORKS! I have not yet tried the retinol lotion, but I intend to.

I’ve been using Glytone every other day, for a year. My body skin is smoother. I recently added gold bond retinol lotion and have seen less crepe with the 2 together.

Hi dr sam ellis loving your videos thanks for everything have a lovely weekend 😅 xx

There will be better products in future. A Scientist from Cambridge Uni make a breakthrough in skin aging in 2022. It was an accidental breakthrough. He was testing Chemicals to regenerate skin, decided to try a different combination, and left it overnight. He thought 'this isn't going to work'. The next morning when he checked it, it had worked and regenerated the skin to make it look 30 years younger. They will have to test it for safety so might be a few years before being released to the public. But 30 years is amazing. Anti aging is coming.

Skincare has come such a long way since I first started doing anything for my skin (remember Clinique 3 product routine)? So many new types of products make it confusing. Could you do a video explaining astringents, toners and essences and how/who/when to use each? I'm sure we all don't need all but I"d like to find the best one for my routine and when (am/pm, what part of the routine) to use.

Please also include the efficacy of topical collagen (compared to oral one) your next video.

❤❤❤❤❤ ME ENCANTÓ 💕 GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS 🙏

Could you please explain hyaluronic acid supplements as well as collagen supplements? Thanks

Thanks so much for addressing body skin....so many just focus on the face but I want to care for ALL my skin. Do you have any recommendations for daily body sunscreen for every day use?

Thank you! So helpful. I am doing some of the things you suggested but I’m also using an Omnilux red light therapy face mask. I use it 10 minutes on my face then 10 holding it onto my neck. It’s been almost two years and when I see older photos of me I can really see a difference. It surprised me! 😊

You are Fantastic and on target. Thank you!...

I've been using AmLactin for 5 months and see a big difference. 🎉

Goldbond has a retinol body lotion and cheaper than most products. It is very good and unscented.

Get a TCA peel!! It helps tremendously.

Eucerin Intensive Repair has some of those ingredients you mentioned i.e. alpha hydroxy, urea, lactic acid. Also I have a question about castor oil. Can you explain what it is and benefits please. I'm noticing people mentioning castor oil in videos. Thanks so much for your great videos.

All i want is an affordable sunscreen self-tanner firming wrinkle reducing lotion that reduces crepeyness. Is that asking for too nuch?!?! 😂

Necessaire also has a neck serum.

Saw this video and clicked. If I hear that lotions will remove crepey skin, I will scream!! I used an entire tub of City Beauty Crepey Skin lotion (over a period of a year) and I saw NO improvement. I don’t believe there is any cure.

I’m 66 and have been using Necessair for about 4 months now and I love my results. After I shower, before drying, I use Argan oil on my body. Towel dry and mix the retinol and lotion together at night and wake up with a lot less creppy skin. I also like their scrub bar, neck serum and regular serum. They are a very stand up company wish they did wrinkle serum for face

Ive been using g AmylLactin and Gold Bond Crepe Eraser

Also, I haven't tried this yet, but I listen to naturalist Drs. Working from the inside helps too. My skin is dry so I'm using Vitamin 3, krill oil (fish) hoping it will help also. I just ordered it. We'll see.

I personally love the Vaseline Advanced Therapy❤❤❤

Thoughts on the Gold Bond overnight renewal retinol cream? I'm loving their Healing sensitive body and face lotion with Urea and 6 other moisturizers. I'm 56 soon and dealing with dry skin. Also taking Phytoceramides internally has helped a ton.

I had wrinkles on my corneas which we were treating with saline ointment. When I started taking powdered collagen in my coffee every day I no longer needed the ointment and my thin, aging skin seems to be thicker and more healthy.

My favourite derm ..learn from u a lot❤

This videos was very helpful! I would love to see a video on oral collagen. That said, oral collagen does help me. I have arthritis and feel a difference in my knees when I am consistent with taking collagen daily. I think it may be helping my skin feel less itchy and dry. Also, after using the Omnilux face mask and seeing a reduction in the depth of fine lines and wrinkles on my face, I recently purchased a full body red light panel. I am hoping this will help with body skin health, as well as pain relief for arthritis and overall health and wellness. My knee was acting up recently and felt immediately better after a red light treatment, so I am hopeful. When I go to physical therapy, they use a laser for pain relief so I feel like the red light panel was a good investment. Take care!

I believe surgery (anesthesia) and high dose of prednisone for months really rapidly made my skin decline.

I had crepey skin on my neck and it didn't tolerate many actives so I almost gave up. I found Mad About Skin's ultimate anti-aging oil and after a month of using it I noticed the difference ❤ been using it consistently for a bit less than a year now and it looks like I'm aging backwards. I highly recommend it!

Amlactin is amazing!

Every one's skin is different, what works for one person may not work for others, tried many products, got some retinol in Mexico mixed with CeraV started using it on arms, can see the difference, use long sleeves and sun block, having good genes also helps

what a fantastic and helpful video. I have crepey skin on my eyelids.....HELP.

Cetaphil Healing Ointment works great for my arms.

Can I use the necessaire retinol lotion to prevent aging skin? I've also been loving the brand Biossance and would love your opinion on it. Just because I enjoy using it, is it working and/ or beneficial?

I have crepey skin right under my eyes - any good recommendations for something safe to use around the eyes?

I have to give Olay Retinol 24 a plug... I was getting fine lines around my eyes and it has improved a lot, that and the looser crepy skin on my eye lids! I went through menopause late (59/60) so I have very good skin with the extended period of natural hormones.

Sea buckthorn oil has been amazing.

Great video! I have been using "Castor Oil" Organic (glass bottle) and it goes everywhere on my body, including my face. I am going through menopause and had "dry eyes" every morning. Not anymore with CO......

I got sick and I was bedridden for 7 weeks lost 35lbs not only I lost muscle I lost weight. and I end up with creepy skin. Not crazy about the weight loss or the creepy skin. But I have embraced it and that is part of ageing.

Just a FYI...Versed Body lotion has .1% Retionol as well as the Necessaire, but under $20 at Target. And no unpleasant smells like some Retionol or Glycolic Acid Lotions. I've been using it for some time now, and I can see and feel the difference

This has happened mostly after my hysterectomy…in 2017.

Doc, what about Gold Bond with retinol? Also, what about Eucerine? it has urea and is way more affordable.

Thanks for the warning about Crepe Erase. There's an overload of marketing ads for this product which made me think it was all hype.

You've given a lot of products. Can you explain how you would combine them? Or choose one? Thank you.

Can u do a video regarding using Collagen peptides and Bone broth collagen powder?😊

What face sunscreen 🧴 do you recommend that doesn’t have that oily look?

I love Dr Murad’s products and vitamins. They are very good,

Wouldn't the amount of retinol in body products need to be higher to do anything since body skin is thicker? Seems like most products have 0.1% retinol and we use much stronger products on our face. Thank you for this video!

Dr. Ellis, I've been wondering about the long term use of retinol moisturizers. Can they stave off that thin fragile skin that older people get? I think it might be called actinic purpura. Thank you.

With the in-office procedures, I'm curious if any of them if not all of them would/wouldn't advisable for patients with a history of keloiding?

Dr Ellis. I have loved all of your skin care recommendations so far. I am 51 and am seeing some very positive changes in my skin! I love Prequel too! The vitamin c is fabulous and I’m so excited to try Gleanser! In March I will be backpacking for a week on the PCT. What do you recommend for a simple routine where water is limited, and I have to pack light??

what about crepey skin under eyes? can these products be used under eyes also?

Thank you for the great video and for showing photos of the actual product that you are referring to. I don't know if you have made a video about products/supplements we can take orally for crepey skin. I you haven't U would love to see a video on that particular subject. Have a great day 😊 ...
