  1. Re the neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair – the weirdest thing- I had gone through a whole jar of the one which has fragrance on my neck absolutely fine, n then I switched to the none fragrance one (with no skipped days in between) and immediately got a red rash all over my neck! I let it heal and tried again, and same thing happened! You’d think the fragrance one would be the offender?!x

    1. @Sable 711 tbh the tub of fragrance one that I used up on my neck hadn’t made any difference to the fine lines so I’ve given up with it! Might try a different retinol there at some point. I use adapoline on my face which is good x

  2. Good day Dr Dray and all of my friends here! Happy Veterans Day as well and I appreciate your service for all of you who have served .😊

  3. Dr Dray, can you make a video about your medical school experience and why you chose dermatology. I’m in medical school and looking to choose a specialty and dermatology interests me a lot. I look up to you a lot and have been subscribed to you for 6 years now ā¤

  4. I use LaNeige sleeping mask. It has a perfume-like fragrance. I will try the Tacha one. I also took your advice and bought a scalp massager. It feels great.

  5. Hi Dr. Dray can you review more No 7 products? I like this company because it seems to have real science behind it and it’s moderately priced and readily available in the US at Walgreens but I’m curious what your opinion is especially the menopause line.

  6. For what it’s worth I am 69 and recently started tretinoin.05% and I use it once a week. It’s been two months and I love it. Apply on Sunday night and Thursday thru Saturday a fine peel. Then I do again on Sunday night, etc. FYI works for me. ā˜ŗļø

  7. Yes, yes, we know retinoids are good. Except they’re really not for everyone. I have sensitive skin, with rosacea and eczema. I have tried (multiple times, multiple ways, multiple products) and now at 58 have accepted they’re not for me. No use trying to force retinoids on my skin, even slowly. It’s the skin that always wins that argument. It’s just frustrating though because it seems that’s all everyone talks about and that if you don’t incorporate them, then your skincare routine is useless. Alternatives please??? I’ve decided to focus on reinforcing my skin barrier. So I actually like the barrier support serum. It’s not just « hydratingĀ Ā», it has niacinamide, ceramides, vitamin B12, etc.

    1. Have you tried using your moisturizer under the retinoid and a healing ointment over it? I had similar issues but only at first.

    2. For my ROSACEA I use SELSUN GOLD Anti Dandruff Shampoo as a face wash on my face & UNGVITA Ointment. My pustules/lumps/redness have reduced, almost gone compared to before my face looked like angry red sunburn with painful lumps/pustules. 😁
      Ingredients UNGVITA :
      Each gram contains 1800 IU retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A).
      Also contains cod liver oil and a petroleum jelly base.
      Active Ingredients: 1800 IU retinyl plamitate (Vitamin A)

    3. We must be long lost siblings! I’m 5 month into Tretinoin .025% and have flakey skin daily. After double cleansing I use CeraVe night cream, wait 30 mins, then apply Tretinoin MIXED WITH EltaMD PM therapy. Still have flakes. I see my derm next week and will see what he says. I’m ready to ditch it at this point!! So frustrated 😫 I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work for you but glad to know I’m not alone….

  8. I find the hydrating face serum by byoma much nicer and more effective than the new barrier support serum by the ordinary

  9. The very sinister tumble in gymnastics you are talking about is a back aerial walkover. It’s actually not too hard, it’s like a back walkover but without hands. I absolutely couldn’t do one anymore but I used to be able to, a long time ago šŸ˜† I quite like that barrier repair serum but I’m not quite sure why yet, I’m still working out if it’s because it’s pink..

  10. I have rosecia and have used a retinoid for years with no issues. I always put it on after a heavy moisturizer instead of before and its been really well tolerated by my skin. I got the tip from an old video of Dr. Dray years ago when she first started her channel. Its actually helped a lot with the redness and texture.

    The only bad thing is now my chest looks about 10 years older than my face. The sun damage on my neck is super noticeable now because my face is so smooth and clear by comparison. I never used to take products down to my neck and chest when doing my skincare routine.

    1. Always put every product you use on your face on your neck , chest & hands as well. My Grandmother taught me this 😊

  11. I started tret being scared of the irritation, cause I had never even used retinol, after the first use my face burned a little for the next 3 days and then it was fine, so I went on using the sandwich method only to the corners of my nose and upper lip and was able to tolerate it everyday. I’m just on my 3rd week ā˜ŗļø

  12. 35, I’ve used differin a little bit prior to getting tretinoin gel 0.1%. I use it once a week, day 3 and 4 i peel a bit, nothing insane, just soft buffing helps those days and moisurizing as always. Will prob up to every 6 days and so on. I can feel and see a noticible improvement in my skin. I am waiting for a crazy purge, I’ve had a bit that went way quick. Maybe I won’t. But even so It’s already shown worth it. My pores are so much less visble and my skin tone is way more even and glowing

    1. The total change in my skin is 10000% worth the 2 day slight peeling and adaptability phase of getting used to it. Literally new skin showing more consistently

    2. Paulas choice makea amazing hand towels almost like super soft micro fiber. They are great for lightly buffing your skin any day. But especially the light peely days

  13. Dr dray another useful video. I like your vlog. Could you please share your thoughts on sun protection that turns as sun fear? I always try to protect my skin from sun, however I fear to go out sun thinking it will cause hyperpigmentation etc. definitely we all need to go out but I don’t enjoy going out thinking it will damage my skin. My skin gets tan pretty easily. How I will know that my skin is completely protected. I wear mask too to protect myself. Any advice?

  14. For my ROSACEA I use SELSUN GOLD Anti Dandruff Shampoo on my face as a face wash & UNGVITA Ointment. My pustules/lumps/redness have reduced, almost gone compared to before my face looked like angry red sunburn with painful lumps/pustules. 😁
    Ingredients UNGVITA :

    Each gram contains 1800 IU retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A).
    Also contains cod liver oil and a petroleum jelly base.
    Active Ingredients: 1800 IU retinyl plamitate (Vitamin A)

  15. I have tried for several years to try and adapt to using tretinoin using all your tips. Yet, I finally had to admit that I can’t use it. My rosacea is just too reactive. I break up in a lot of red bumps and pustules that sting and itch. However, I have recently tried differin and so far it’s going well and my pustules seem to be fading instead of flaring.

  16. Can you address this through a video: Does the use of Tretinoin cause wrinkles if used at too high of a strength, without proper moisturizer and particularly in those with dry skin ? It appears to have dried out my skin, leading to more wrinkles that are not temporary.
