Thank you ❤❤

@@pizzepeli Retinol is over the counter and retinoid is prescription. Both are topical vitamin A

Somebody tell Neutrogena. They have a cream with retinol and vit C, I almost bought it.

Yup! I just put vitamin C on my face and topped it with retinol. 😂

Iris K what i know that you can use vit c at morning and retinol at night

@@MyLinda1983 thank you! Yes, I switched my routine up since watching the video. I now use the vitamin C in the morning followed my sunscreen. Thank you!

Exactly what I was doing ! Thank god I watched this ! My girl clarified.

But she said no soap no cleansers before vitamin C. Don’t all of us wash our face with some form of cleansers first??? 😳

Yes

She is the best dermatologist

That would be amazing! 🙏

Yes please!

I second this!! I’m premed rn and I would greatly appreciate

THIS!

also hydroxy acids

Thanks for abbreviation

is it ok to use a vitamin c serum with peptides in a moisturizer or is that not ok as well

You can use retinol with benzoyl peroxide my dermatologist gave me this products together lol

Except Adapalene yea?? Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide can be combine just like a epidou

what reaction did you have?

I made that mistake this week 😭

Thank you so much! How is your week going?

Greetings U. Charlie hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜....

@@DrDrayzday it is going nice thank you for asking. I will see some family members I haven’t seen in quite some time this week which gets me excited. 🎉 You are such a busy lady I hope you have some enjoyable relaxing time for this current holiday. If you ever market a stevia sweetened pumpkin cinnamon pie I would be the first in line! 🥧 ☕️👍🏻

@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Tuesday thank you!! :)

Very well said 🥳🥳

Im doing it right now.....poor my skin 😂😂using too many actives because i thought it can help my acne faster. Lesson learned 🤦

She gets "paid" for it lol

@@chellepatino1675 your point is?

What ingredients worked best?plz

Say it!

How?

Thank you so much!!

Before applying Vic C in the morning, do you use any face wash?

@@shasyed4866 I wash my face with Vanicream gentle facial cleanser. It's my favorite cleanser as it's gentle and removes makeup.

what Vit C do you use?

Yes , I also use vitamin c in the am and retinol at night

@@helpfulnatural does that not affect the pH and therefore the absorption of vit c

Hy and creamides are not that kind of actives .

thank you so much for all of your support!

@@DrDrayzday You deserve it 😊

DA baste👍

thank you so much!

Definitely 🙋🏼‍♀️

I don't know, I'm more partial to Ice Cube and Eazy E, but she's pretty good too. The Chronic was a good album. Sorry, been holding in a Dr. Dre reference for months now. But I definitely agree, she has lots of great useful skin care tips.

@@ck552 I thought the exact same thing when I first saw her name lol😂

the problem child in the skincare family

I use Sunday Riley retinopathy and follow up with lactic acid with no irritation

Ask me..undergoing a retinol tantrum currently.lots of irritation itching redness and purge😭

Niacinamide

@@alexpardin9340 Yes except he has a soft spot for Niacinamide

Check the video at 5:16, she recommends not to use vitamin C directly after a cleanser/cleansing the skin, because cleansers raise the skins ph, and the skin is naturally a bit low/acidic and it needs to be that. So I would get a toner to use in between the cleanser and the vitamin C serum. I would use the toner after cleansing both in the morning and evening, and make sure it’s a toner that balances/lowers the ph after cleansing the skin (which most good toners do). Quality toners both hydrate and ph balances skin after cleansing, so I recommend adding that step to your routine, preferably both am and pm. If you’re interested I can really recommend the Korean brand Klairs’ toners, Supple Preparation Facial Toner or the unscented/perfume free one (Supple Preparation Unscented Facial Toner), both of them are great, I would however recommend getting the unscented one if you have very sensitive skin, or skin prone to breakouts or reactions to perfumes in skincare. Dr Ceuracle Hyal Reyouth Toner is also a great toner, also very hydrating, it’s scented though. But of course there are many other toners that work well, but I know that these are very good and work very well and they’re also quite nice for sensitive skin, especially Klairs unscented toner. But just find a good toner that at least lowers/balances ph, that’s the main purpose since you don’t use anything to lower your ph after cleansing. Toner should be applied with just your hands on a damp face for best results, (after cleansing of course) and just pat it in and let it sink in before continuing with the next step in your routine. You can also pat in the toner in layers if your skin is dry or when it needs extra hydration, up to about eleven layers I believe, just let it sink in in between the layers. I vary the amount of layers from routine to routine, most often I just do one layer. The toners I mentioned, both of Klairs’ Supple toners and the Dr Ceuracle, both hydrate the skin and lowers/balances ph after cleansing, so the skin goes back to the level of ph/acidity it prefers, and it prepares the skin for following skincare products.

@@linneakjellman4204 Thanks so much! So i would apply the toner , allow it to dry and afterwards apply the Vitamin C?

@@linneakjellman4204 ❤

Same thing here, bro 😊

I use Sunday Riley and they say you can use retinol and lactic acid. My skin loves it

I love using benzoyl peroxide and then tretinoin after! My skin loves it so much. I’m finally seeing improvement and no irration because I moisturize really well and use sunscreen everyday

@@Love-dc5tq the retinol marks cream I use saids that you can combine it with benzoyl peroxide gel. I just started doing it today. Why would it say that if it’s not good?

love my coffee

My skin can't take niacinamide xD

Ummm...will you share that spreadsheet with the rest of us? We're going to need it. HaHa!

There are apps that can help, like MSKD.

That would be great if she did one.

@@jamiesmiles8312 yesssss please share =)

What is topical that she speaks of?

Thanks for watching

thanks for watching

FYI, now I’m chanting “Yay Dr Dray!”

Do you use all of them every day? I currently use vitamin C and azaleic acid in the morning, and retinoid and niacinamide in the evening; twice a week I do an acid instead of the retinoid. I wondered if all this was overkill? I mainly hear of azaleic acid for pregnant women or those irritated by retinoids, so wondered if there was any benefit to using both.

thank you so much!

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much!

Her definition of mixing is “all used in one setting.” For example, if you use both of these products in your morning skincare routine.

Yes, and I think I have contributed to this. I'm glad to have the answers, but also I'm totally flipping out. Explains a lot about why I have had reactions though.

I literally took it out of my routine because of this.

No its retinol

I use retinol with niacinamide should i stop mixing them?

@@samsam3845 You can mix niacinamide with anything.

Just use Vit C serum in the morning after cleansing your face with water only and apply sunscreen to boost sun protection. Thats it! You dont need much in the morning. Night time, cleanse with your cleanser, maybe a toner after that, apply either Ordinary Buffet, Matrixyl, or HA, followed by a moisturizer and then your Retinol! Boom! Simple & effective

You can use the vitamin c in the morning (remember sunscreen) and the retinol at night. She reviewed some RoC products before and wasn't a fan.

No it’s not. They both work well together

I use it as a toner :) wondering the same thing

She's mentioned it before but I can't remember when. ACV is actually way too acidic for the skin even when diluted. She really has a negative opinion on DIY skincare in general. The reasons are: 1. Natural ingredients have too many volatile chemical components which degrade 2. Home formulations are incredibly variable and not tested for safety 3. Most of the beneficial molecules are in the wrong concentration to work 4. Many recipes include physical exfolients, enzymes, strong acids, or strong bases which all are leading causes of irritation and may cause infection. Basically, if you're not a chemist and you aren't familiar with the hard research, you are not qualified to make your own skincare. Not even Dr. Dray makes stuff on her own.

Happy Tuesday!

Enjoy your day Reed 😊

@@marizzy63 happy Tuesday Mary 💕💕

Why would an oral vitamin C interfere with topical ingredients? My take away from this is she was talking about mixing topically applied ingredients. I don’t remember her ever mentioning oral vitamin C.

@@pjschmid2251 hi, I was just sharing my experienced. As for my experienced, it just happens that I've experienced it from oral Vit C and not from topical. Just saying. 🤷‍♀️

Hot and Flashy used to use (not sure if still true) in the morning Vit C+E Ferulic serum followed by CeraVe Niacinamide lotion. I've read conflicting information pro and con.

Wanna know as well😅
