Yessss....me to! It seems like she uses a variety of different products frequently to try them out from the videos, but I’m sure she has her tried and true that she always goes back to. I’ve seen mention of a product here and there as one of her favs but, would love to have those details included in one video.

Since adding tretinoin last summer, I've eliminated products from my routine. With winter dryness, my skin was flaking from the tretinoin. I stopped using cleanser in the morning and I added a very hydrating moisturizer under my tretinoin and a very hydrating sunscreen during the day. The flakes were gone within two weeks.

Hello doc, I enjoy your videos so much that you have become “my” dermatologist lol. This video was so needed and I have to watch it a few times so I can get it ingrained into my head to fix my skin care errors lol. My skin has been looking amazing the more I am consistent and you have helped in that journey. Thank you! My question for you is can you make a video for a proper skincare routine for black MEN? I am looking to adjust my night routine and completely overhaul my day routine so that I’m getting all of the benefits. Also what is a good product to get rid of razor bumps on the back of the head? Thanks again for all you do. 😊

@Dr Alexis Stephens - I love your educational presentations that collectively are the operating manual to care for skin of color. One skincare mistake about which you had previously admonished, and which I since corrected, is not included in this "top skincare mistakes" video: . Because i made that correction, I have since rarely experienced any breakouts. Upon my relocation back to South Florida you will have a new patient. Thanks for teaching me about proper and effective skincare. My skin now looks great, largely due to my adherence to your suggested care methods, order and combinations of actives, and of evaluating products and making purchase decisions based upon your critical product reviews. THANK YOU!

I started seeing a dermatologist in December 2023 and was prescribed Tazarotene Gel 0.05 for acne scarring which is mostly under the skin. It was also suggested that I should have four sessions of micro needling treatments. How do you feel about La Roche-Posay and Buttah by Dorian skincare products? By the way, I’m 63 years young.😊
