I know you may not see this, but I want to thank you. You, Dr. V, and Dr. Dray have done more for my skin than any dermatologist I have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars. My skin looks the best it ever has, and I forsee that it will continue going in that direction. I so appreciate your hard work. Again, many thanks.

You are such a wealth of knowledge and I love how you speak in laymen’s terms without being super technical so the average person and those who may be new to all of this can easily grasp what you’re saying. Thank you for taking the time out of your already busy schedule to create this content for us.

We're gonna need a part 2. I need to know about Alpha arbutin and Vitamin c Vitamin c and Azelaic acid Azelaic acid and Retinol What actives to layer after using a PHA toner.

Can you make a full "skin care video" routine for different problems. For example, a full routine/product recommendations (from facial wash to sunscreen) for people who want to get rid of acne scars and pigmentation, or a full routine for those who suffer from extremely dry skin, etc. I suffer from A LOT of acne scarring (my face legit looks like a chocolate chip) and i think it would be really helpful to know what products i should be using together to combat this issue. I buy so many products but no one actually ever says how or if they work with other things. So your recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

YESSSSSSS. I needed this. Lemme get my notebook.

I’m watching that video for the third time just to make sure I don’t miss anything. I just love Dr Alexis❤️❤️!

I love the concept of synergy in skincare! My favorite pair is azelaic acid and tretinoin. Also love iron oxides but wish it was more common for sunscreens to state the percentage along with the uv filters.

like always, great video Dr. Also i think a great mix is azelaic acid + retinol + niacinamide + vitamin c if you can tolerate them. Your face need to be accustom to retinol first. If not, please dont use actif and focus on retinol and niacinamide first. Thank you Dr

Definitely was waiting to hear this from you. Thank you for this video! I know you mentioned it in a prior video but a video dedicated to seeing what works with what, neeeeeddddeddddd! 🙌🏾

You look beautiful & very happy! Love your smile! 😁 Thank you for the share!

NEVER HAVE I EVER grab a paper and pen so fast!! You are awesome, thank you!!

Yes do the safe lasers video on dark skin please!!!!

I’ve been looking for a dermatologist that caters to black/brown skin and I’m so glad ice finally found one and then I come to realize you are literally in the same city. Hopefully I am able to schedule an appointment sometime soon😂

I'm so glad I found your channel. It's so hard to find someone that has my skin. Especially someone who's so knowledgeable... Not trying to just sell something. Thank you

Best skin care channel for people of color on KZfaq 😍😍

Dear Klairs freshly juiced vitamin drop is a personal fav. The combo of vitamin c (5%) and centella asiatica is bomb!

Great video. I'm going to bring my niacinimide back in with my retinol at night and also use my bakuchiol moisturizer as the final step. Nice to have clarity.

Just discovered this channel, why is KZfaq sleeping on it?! New favorite. Your personality has an analeptic quality to it. It's like being taught in the best possible way, hah. Can't beat a skincare lesson with a doctor who's absolutely killing it. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow!

I love this channel! I love her personality, I like her recommendations and I respect her knowledge. This is probably the best skincare channels on, not only KZfaq but on social media. 💗

I had NEVER subscribe to ANYONE. But I LOve love love the way you explain things, short, to the point and so much knowledge. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Love this video & your channel Dr. Stephens! I would love to see more videos for nursing/pregnant women on what skincare products you would recommend (avoid/okay to use). Especially when it comes to retinol or bakuchiol! Thanks so much & have a great day!! 💕✨

I’m glad I found this channel. You are very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

Thank you for another terrific video. Lots of important info as always.

This information is INCREDIBLE! I love all of your videos!

Great info! Thank you!

Hello! I’m going through your videos and came to my attention the mix of Niocinemide with salicylic acid, every si gle thing that I have read/etched before it said that the two of them can not be use together because of the difference of pH!! You are blowing my mind right now!!

This Dr. is awesome. It's refreshing to see content from a professional that can inform on all skin tones.

I can sit and watch you talk about anything all day. Your energy is everything ✨

SkinDeva has a Vitamin C+ E+ and Ferulic Acid Serum that’s amazing

This is exactly the kind of information I have been trying to find! Thank you!

So I just caught up on your channel. I had this video saved to watch later. I kid you not; ever since I started watching your channel, my consultations with my daughter’s & my dermatologist have worked in our favor. I’m not one to always think you need a pill for everything ESPECIALLY since my Lupus diagnosis and my daughters PCOS. Although I’m not totally against all pills, I just believe it’s not necessary all the time. That 20% Azelaic Acid prescription request came right on time💯👌🏽You are a blessing🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽And I am so thankful God is using you to minister to His children❤️🥰😘

Thank you so much for imparting such wonderful information!!

Your videos are so helpful and well put. I like that you link the products

What a refreshing and informative breakdown of much need info without all the fluff. I'm subscribing.

Doctor!!!!!! You are ALWAYS on time. Seriously changed my life in a couple of months ❤️🖤💚

Hello, Can you do a full morning routine and a night time routine? So many ingredients but I don't know how to layer. I love your content thank you!

We need someone intelligent like you doctor Alex you are amazing keep the good work god bless

Omg I can’t explain how much I needed this type of video, thank you Dr Alexi

Thanks Dr A! A very useful video...

Dr. Stephens, first of all, your content is unbelievable and your skin is just stunning. Could you please please please do a video with your skin care regimen? It would be so awesome and I know many people would be helped by it. This was amazing information. You have already helped my skin so much with your other videos.

Just love your channel. Only discovered it recently and wished I had found it earlier! It’s very hard to find someone so knowledgeable who understands the needs in people of colour. Especially your knowledge in skin prone to hyperpigmentation is fantastic. Thank you Dr Stephens

We love you Dr. Alexis, you are blessing to all of us, we cant thank you enough for starting this chaneel. GOD bless u and ur family. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺😍❤️🌹

This is a useful and beneficial video. Love this video.

This is so helpful, thanks for sharing 🙌💟💕

This video is great. I love having knowledge geared to someone with melanin skin. I feel like I am able to make informed decisions on products. I used my new knowledge to create a daily skin routine.

I love Dr. Alexis, another master class, thank you 🙏 I have learn so much from you.

I would love to see a video regarding hair care! Especially for curly/kinky hair and relaxed hair!

Thanks for this video Dr Alexis! I loved that you always gave an affordable option for each category 🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing this information Dr Alexis Stephens , very useful and your amazing 😍

Your skin is beautiful!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Omg, what a great video!! You are so knowledgeable and I love your passion to share your knowledge with us. It would be great to have a video for women who are pregnant and are dealing with acne and hyperpigmentation. There is so many products we can’t use which becomes so frustrating!

I bought the ilia and I was like yes. I love it. Thank you so much. I didn't even need a foundation

First time viewer here. Loved all of the great information! Thank you!

Timeless is another vitamin c with E and ferulic acid for about $25/oz

Geek & Gorgeous also has an outstanding C/E/Fa dupe.

Thank you for this video!

Doc... You are truly a God send... Sharing quality information with the world... For free... I am grinning ear to ear... 😁

Thank you Dr Alexis

Was I even listening?? Gosh her face shines brighter than the sun ☀️ Dr Stephens please suggestions of products with Niacinamide & Salicaylic acid in them? Also suggestions of products with Niacinamide & Retinol combined. If not please can u elaborate on how to layer anti ageing ingredients. Merci beaucoup 🙏🏾

This was so good to hear. I do some things right but now I will use up my current and old products and start using these combinations going forward. Thank you very much!

Im so grateful i discover you, your channel is full of precious information and wonderful advices! Keep up your outstanding work.

Yes Dr, I noticed that, i have a way better tolerance to retinol ever since i added bakuchiol to my routine, based on another video you made about bakuchiol.

Well done.. now I just need a starting point😂

Just found your channel and you're changing the game!!! Obsessed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for all of this amazing information!

Can you do a video on Microneedling and derma rolling?

Can you do a video on different morning and night time sample skin care routines? For example a routine for acne, anti aging, dry skin etc

Thank you for this video. Your suggestions are much appreciated!

Thank you for this video Dr. I am taking notes!!!!!

Thanks for such an informative video! Going to try to tackle my dark spots. Love from England. XX

Merci pour les conseils

I just became a subscriber because of this video. Thank you!

Hey Dr. Stephens, can you do a video of products and routine to give you even and glowy skin for your body? And which sunscreens to use for your body?

Thank you for this!! You are so beautiful and seem like such a sweet and kind person ❤️

She’s just so cute and informative!

What Viatim C serum/cream products would you recommend? Also, what kind of under eye products do you recommend for eye bags and dark circles? Thank you for all this information 🙂🥰

Love your videos, I'm learning so much about the correct way to care for my dark skin. I would love a video on what order the products should be applied for am & pm. I'm never sure, serums, moisturizers, treatments, sunscreens etc., how to layer these products to make them most effective. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us.

Cant thank you enough for your expertise and everything you do!!

You are the best .love your chanel . Thank you for this helpful information

Thanks for your videos Dr. Stephens! This was especially helpful. I love using the Klairs Vitamin C Drop with my Purito Centella Green Level sunscreen. Both products have Centella Asiatica which is a great boost with my Niacinamide. Can you please do a review on Asian chemical sunscreens i.e. Purito, Klairs, Biore, MISSHA, BANOBAGI, Shiseido, Abib?

Always I'm ready with my notebook...tanks so much!! Just a favor, which is layered first..

Waiting for your next video Dr, everyday I can’t help but check if you have posted today. 👧

I’m new 🙋🏽‍♀️ Thank you for showing us the products that you like👍🏽

Thank you Jesus! You sent her... I was wondering what could help my 40 something skin with acne.

The audio of the video has improved thanks :D

Your so beautiful! Love your channel it’s helped me a lot 😍😍

Love all of this great info!!

Thank you. We appreciate you

I hope that one day you can talk about dark skin and aging paired with skin conditions like ecxema.

A combo of salicylic acid (in cleanser) and following with a vitamin c products really works well for me. Feels like the vit c works better ☺️

You are the Best!

Love this video thank you
