    1. Interesting you said one ingredient can cause problems but possibly doesn’t cause an issue in another product. I used PC calm cleanser. It has cocomidopropyl betaine in it. I reacted to it BUT that ingredient is in selsun blue as well which I used on my face for itch. I didn’t have a problem. Skin is so weird.

    2. Dr. Dray, what’s your opinion on Dr. Rhonda Patrick saying some latitudes like Chicago don’t receive any UVB for 5 months of the year. What I learned on your channel seems to contradict that assertion.

  2. When I was pregnant the only thing my doctor told me to avoid for sure was retinol. I still used my salicylic acid face wash my whole pregnancy with no issues.

  3. Thank you for always speaking truth to science and cutting through the fluff and marketing to provide us honest, effective, and affordable skincare solutions.
    I always appreciate your humour and candour. 💖

  4. Excellent information today Dray! ☕️👍🏻🤠 God bless and take care folks! 🙏🙏🙏

    1. I’m been here for 10 years or more too! She never looks any older…i loved her mum and tybee…I agree with you friend…take care ❤🇬🇧

  5. I really can’t use AHA’s because of skin irritation. Vitamin C with Ferulic acid is a definite no for me as well.

  6. Tell us about laundry ingredients to avoid. Are there laundry products that are better than others for skin? What laundry products are best to avoid skin problems? Does it matter?

    Is Oxiclean used in laundry an irritant? What about dryer softener sheets?

    1. Oh, one more thing. Would you talk about talc-free body powders and whether they are good or bad for skin? Just tried a new Gold Bond skin soothing powder (cornstarch) that I love. Do you have an opinion as a dermatologist on powders?

    2. A lot of derms recommend “free” detergents. If you check the National Eczema Association site, you can look under their Products tab and search under Laundry. Dr Dray and Lab Muffin have both talked about talc in videos/shorts.

  7. Everyone needs to watch this video! There’s so much fear mongering out there when certain brands market their products.

  8. Dr. Dray out here fighting the good fight against the deluge of fearmongering and misinformation. Queen behavior, fr! ❤ 👏❤ 🙌

  9. I felt so seen when you mentioned a beeswax allergy! I’ve never heard of anybody else having this. I developed it at 19. I’m not allergic to bees at all, but absolutely cannot use anything with beeswax in it.

    1. Same! I don’t tolerate beeswax or lanolin in lip products. I also have a sensitivity to mango and am bummed that companies have started adding mango butter to lip products.

  10. Thanks so much for the information. While I’ve never had an allergic reaction to skin care, I know from you they can develop out of the blue. Since finding your channel years ago, I’ve switched to fragrance free skin care for my face. My body soap has fragrance but my body moisturizers do not. You’ve taught me so much!! Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. ❤

  11. Thanks, Dr. Dray – you’re a voice of calm sanity in a crazy world!
    I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, so “botanicals” such as limonene, linalool, and eucalyptus are irritating. Although it’s not an allergy, these ingredients will sure make my face red. Why do so many “luxury” cosmetic companies put these irritants in their products?

  12. As a health expert, I would suggest everyone to read ‘The Secret Health Protocol’ by Heather Collins. It’s one book that changed my health completely. It’s that powerful.
