Literally ur tips from this video saved my horrendously irritated skin. My skin was itchy AF. Upon watching the video, I took shower less frequently in winter with warm (not hot) water , and applied Vaseline (recommended in another video of urs). It's been almost 2 weeks, my skin has significantly improved and now is almost calmed down. Life savor UR!
Thanks for all the ideas. My favorite brand that has glycolic acid in body products is Alpha Skincare. Their body lotion has 12% glycolic and I use it at least once a week during the winter. It’s also fragrance free- which is important to me. The 12 oz bottle is less than $20. I think I paid $15 last time I bought it.
I recently thinking of shifting my focus more towards body care as my face is in good condition and BOOM this video pops up! Thank you Dr. Shereene for the information! 🙌
I was recently looking for a way to incorporate retinol into my body care to help with crepey skin. Rather than purchase a pricy product, I’ve been adding a few drops of retinol from The Ordinary into my regular lotion before applying and haven’t had any irritation. It’s only been a couple weeks so I don’t have a verdict, but for me it’s a more economical way to incorporate actives.
A different dermatologist (who's name I forget) recommended Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Face Oil Retinol Serum to treat sunspots on your hands. It's too oily for my face, but it's been great for lightening spots on my hands. I tried it on my decolletage, but as Dr. Idriss mentioned, the skin there is more sensitive, so it's little too strong to use directly in that area.
AFFORDABLE RETINOL BODY LOTIONS: Medix 5.5 has a big 444 ml lotion with retinol in it that’s only $28 AUD and Advanced Clinicals also has an affordable 454 g one for $23 AUD 😉 I looked them both up on INCI Decoder to compare which one had ingredients I liked more, as well.
Hello dr Shereen, thank you so much for all the info that you so kindly give us . I love this video about body care and I sure took some notes . I look forward to your videos yiu are so pleasant … a breath of fresh air . I am Franco libanaise , living in the USA 🇺🇸 🥰
I would love to see a video about traveling and skin care! I know you have a few shorts but maybe the ins and outs of traveling with prescriptions, etc. (or how to sneak your carry on to the plan 😂)
Love your videos and personality! But please flip your camera mirroring because all the products names show up with the letters reversed and backwards. Thanks!
Uhm when do we get to below the belt, we would really appreciate educational videos on those areas for women and men I'm sure we will all appreciate it, thank you very much. ( BTW I used your advice on layering ingredients and I managed o get rid of my acne without going on Accutane which I started for a month and couldn't finish since it was really hard on me I am also a cry baby so....merci beacoup ma belle 💃👯♀️)
Hi! I'm an 61 y.o youg lady and an artiste. Thank you very much for your very interesting and professional way to explain how, why and what to use for our body. I consider the body our treasure that we must cherish and take care as much as the face. I took every time notes with explanation about the most video's of you and now I've already made a few file on my pc. At the secquence 9:43 ypu speak about Niacinamide and I've found this onder powder form. Can I use The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder 20g for making a cream and what is your recomandation around this kind of powder? Thank you once again for the devoted way to help us ( your fans) to mentain an healthy life! Sorry for my English, because this is not my mother tonque, I'm a latin.
There isn't much, if anything, you can really do against stretchmarks. They're due to genetics. As for correcting, you can try retinol when they're still 'fresh' and new, but for older stretchmarks no topical product will help. You can try in-office procedures for older stretch marks, but even then dermatologists say you can't expect too much 😕 I'd say "just accept it", but I know that's not easy for everyone (not even for me), so I truly hope science can give us a solution in the future.
I use Olay 24 retinol and olay 24 peptide for my hand everyday cause they are affordable. And I wish it will have impact to my skin😅😅 Doc, what do you think?
Just found your channel - enjoy your presentation style and knowledge. Can you please recommend products that come in bar form and not a plastic bottle. I want a planet left for my grandchildren. Thanks!
Hello Dr.Shereene my question is not about this specific video and products but i would like to know if moisturizer is with spf 30-40 after applying it to my face should i put additionally sunscreen?or not as moisturizer already contains it? And if we should apply sunscreen anyway then there’s no point buying moisturizer with spf right?thank you in advance

My new favorite moisturizer is gold bond’s pure moisture lotion. It’s safe for face and body! It has ceramides, urea, niacinamide, etc! My body and face have absolutely loved it and it’s almost completely replaced my cetaphil and cerave routines. Ten bucks for twenty ounces and I’m in love
Laura Rae introduced me to this wonder lotion/cream in her RU-vid programs! This is the first product I've used that actually smooths out my turkey wattle neck and my gardeners hands and knees and doesn't get sticky or too slick! I clip coupons and have purchased 4 extra tubes of this; my total was $21.00! Great buy, great product!
I would love to see a video dedicated to the family of MINERAL OILS / PARAFFIN. I am quite confused in terms of what the difference between PETROLATUM and PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM is. 😭
@@weewoo3889 Sure. But what I don't get is the difference between liquid paraffin/mineral oil/paraffinum liquidum (whatever you might call it) and petrolatum. Because Petrolatum is supposed to be best at stopping transepidermal waterloss (TEWL). I would be interested in how good paraffin liquidum is at stopping TEWL.
Hi from Stockholm, Sweden! Love your informative videos, and among many things so thankful that someone finally dares to pull the plug on the crazy hyaluronic acid hype! I have experienced and realised a long time ago this, but have increasingly harder and harder time to find products without HA in them. But if people like you speak up more then perhaps the trend can also change! So keep up the great work! I am most grateful! About your theory on why skincare companies are hesitant to put actives in body care - my two cent guess is that they are afraid that will make people realise how incredibly overpriced our skincare with actives for the face really is… As nobody will be willing to pay what they charge you for tiny 30 ml vessels of face serums for a body serum of 11 oz… so they will have to put prices lower. And that can make people think and begin to count… So I think therein lies one of the biggest reasons why it has taken so long. Now the market is screaming for it. But everyone is afraid that some brand will begin launching really great but affordable skincare for the body, as that will wreak havoc on the market, I believe. So everybody are a bit hesitant and want to see how high they can put the price points. And to try and counteract that the world needs people like you who can show the real values of content. ❣️
Urea is my all time favourite ingredient. My skin is just unreal after using creams with it for weeks. Eucerin are usually my top choice, they have great products with urea.
That ISDIN Ureadin line includes body products with 10%, 20%, 30% and even 40% of urea. At least in Europe. I'm not sure why she said 20% is prescription strength, but maybe it used to be that way (in the USA), but it no longer is?
@@skinthusiastic I have recently bought 20% urea foot cream on amazon (in US). However, I saw another dermatologist said that most of those OTC products rarely contain more than 5% of urea despite their claim on the package.
Dr. Shereen you describe what these ingredients do for my skin in such a vivid, a colorful way, if you will and so specific- I really grasp the concept of how these will help all my skin stay Skin-Nerd-Approved and looking it’s best 🤓 THANK YOU! ❤️
Dr Shereen, thank you so much for all the information! I love Aveeno products, I’ve been using the body wash and lotion for some time and definitely saw a difference. Have you got any thoughts on deodorants, antiperspirant and the no aluminium trend? xxx

Love you girl! I found you when I started having doubts about hyaluronic acid. YOU. MAKE. SENSE! rare. My request is that you talk to us about lips. We need help. What works to moisturize, what we should avoid, cosmetics that help or damage... Thank you!
Love this! Can you do a pregnancy edition or discuss body care products for pregnancy skin issues? Almost in my second trimester and I cut out my actives/chemicals so trying to figure out what’s safe to use
Ugh the relief finding your channel. I’m 27 and this year randomly got eczema for the first time behind my knees, arm pit folds and cringe… my nipples! What the hell!!! Thankfully I did have that exact kids eczema cream and therapy lotion !!!! My son has eczema. I ended up taking an allergy pill to stop my itching and loaded up on baby products 😭😭 I’m so sad!!! I need body care now!
Aveeno’s Dermexa Cream is an absolute game changer, it got rid of my eczema which started last winter. I bought it based on yr review so a million thanks!!! Thanks also for separating fact fm fiction around hyaluronic acid .. all it did was make my skin feel tight & dry. Love fm Australia xx
I always wondered why it was so hard to find actives in body stuff! I've found myself searching the web for obscure brands to find body treatments similar to what I use on my face.
I’ve been waiting for skincare for the body for so long! I’ve started buying cheaper facial skincare with good ingredients and researching as much as I can on body lotions etc. I just wish more body care items had actives and didn’t cost a ton 🥲
Perfect timing! I just bought the Drunk Elephant T.L.C Glycolic Body Lotion recently and am excited to try it out. Also want to try Amlactin now that you mentioned it, since I know the skin on my face loves lactic acid 👀
I would love more videos on body care. Like not just products but things to keep in mind. I always learn so much from you. Also I would love product recommendations that have several ingredients in one, like you always say, it‘s annoying to have a product for each ingredient you want to use.
Love the aquaphor spray for my daughter who has eczema especially during cold season. For my body the Eucerin advance repair lotion has little but of urea to keep my dry skin from cracking during winter season.
I love products with urea in it especially for my elbows cause I'm always leaning on them; I lean on the left one more than the right one. I use the Cetaphil Rough & Bumpy with 20% urea which has truly helped with the elbows and being more mindful of not leaning on them.
I wondered how my current body wash and lotion brand were formulated to keep me from being super dry all winter. They have a lot of the ingredients you discussed. I've been using it so long the cumulative effect is more and more evident. Face and body are good. Now this scalp needs attention, sigh. I have an appointment with a dermatologist next month for more answers and help. Again thank you for sharing your expertise.
I think I have heard that technically selling things in large body size is actually going to be less expensive for the buyer even with actives. It's also why plenty of esthetic shops can afford to buy all the immense amount of products without going brankrupt and not having to charge their clients something outlandish like 10k per session.
If companies can make body sunscreens that are actually pretty darn cheap, I say they can make body products with actives without being that pricey either. And I am not even talking about things like retinols or vitamin c, even stuff as cheap as vitamin e and aloe can be used to hype a product and jack up the price so I am always ready to give a stink eye. Pardon my cynicism 😅
I would love to see a video on breastfeeding safe products; sunscreen, face wash, face oil, serums, anti-aging, moisturizers. No one does videos on this and it is difficult to find safe products. I have found that companies make it extremely difficult to figure out if it is breastfeeding safe as well. Only company I have seen that has provided great visibility is the inkylist. Sunscreens for breastfeeding really confuse me.
Hi Dr Shereene, I discovered you this week and I finally know what my skin type is. I've started to follow your advice and I can already notice a difference... slowly but surely. Thank you! I have a question; what is the best thing to use to shower with... I mean sponge, etc? (I have a rather sensitive and dry skin).
gold bond has a lotion called rough and bumpy skin daily therapy cream, and it has aha, bha, pha, and urea. you can also use the ordinary’s glycolic acid or other exfoliating acids or retinol on your body. i just rub it on like lotion and then put lotion on top. works great for kp, hands, and feet also.
Can we discuss skincare for summer sports in the water?? (surfing, tubing, swimming, etc) I went surfing and was very frustrated with the constant reapplication and then waves washing it immediately off. I know there's zinc sticks but is there anything else that doesn't get in your eyes? cause you can't apply it above your eyes.
I use the Beautypie Retinol hand cream as a body cream. Definitely helps my KP…and at the price it’s affordable. I also use their Niacinemide serum on my body
The biggest problem for me is hair removal w/o ingrown hair, feeling like a cactus, etc. bc i have extremely corse hair...exfoliation and moisturising alleviates it to a small extent, but nothing seems to work for me.😂😂
@@fjp9 Yup. Currently my only viable option. The only problem with it i have is it kinda hurts and is kinda awkward, especially on some parts… And it’s for some reason really hard to find a good wax technician 🤷🤷🤷 maybe just me.
I have incredibly dry feet and legs (I'm 67 but they've been dry as long as I can remember :) ) I recently started making my own body cream. I use "Feet Rescue" as the base and I add the Ordinary's glycolic toner, the inkey list retinal, some HA and shake it like mad. My legs and feet have NEVER been so lovely :) and now after a shower I put if all over. I did however, order the REN you mention in this video because it sounds perfect for the hands, chest. I think acids and retinal for the body will be game changers.
Hello! Can you please make a video and talk a bit about scalp health and products to maintain healthy hair. Thank you very much for funny and informative videos!
Thanks for focusing on the body. Could you describe the products in the description bar and not only provide a link? Being outside the US I often am redirected on the websites and can't see the products
I would love a deep dive into retinol body products ... most seem to be either ridiculously expensive or from some no-name questionable brand sold only at the company named after a South American river. I want a product I can trust, that is strong, but not too strong.
@Trinity M There's nothing wrong with South America! But there's a giant internet sales company named after the largest river in South America. This company often sells gray market products or no-name products from unknown brands that may or may not copy real product labels.
Dr. Idriss, Thank you for this video! Are you able to use actives on tattoos as well? I want to start treating my body like my face, but I am worried that it would harm my tattoos? I apologize if that's a silly question-- science is not my strong suit!
Can you please do a video on spray tans and self tanners? Are they bad for your skin? Will routine skincare products like retinol and acids etc make the tan fade rapidly? Thank you!
I'm getting very red after using products recommended strongly by dermatologists, etc. like the First Aid Beauty cleansers and even Inkey lists's oat cleansing balm. Only thing I used and loved was Paula's Choice Clear Acne Pore Normalising Cleanser but it is so difficult to obtain since they are not in Sephora or drug stores but only online (plus more pricey too though very worth it I feel).
Is there a limit to how much we should be using AHA/BHA for the body? I know on the face we should only exfoliate 1-3 times a week. But for the body, is it okay to use things like a BHA/AHA washes and moisturizer everyday on body acne or KP?
I love your videos!! ❤️❤️ Could you please make a video of face moisturizers that have no silicones. I find that silicones just don't agree with sunscreen(or some serums) and cause piling. I worry more about sun protection obviously not to mention that it's also a waste of money! Hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
When you do your skincare line, pretty please make it available in South Africa! Soooo frustrating to get all these awesome product recommendations and then find they are not shipped to South Africa. x
Love the informative videos! Could you do a video on body hyperpigmentation and what product you think are helpful in fading the dark spots and even out the skin tone?
got a random tiktok ad using your picture, mentioning your name, and quoting you to appear somewhat more scientific.. seems a bit unethical since i doubt the influencer getting paid for the ad or the brand have contacted you about this?
@@shereeneidriss tried linking you to the video at least 3 times but youtube keep filtering my comment😭 i'll try to comment the same thing and send a link in your tiktok page?
Hello! Huge fan of your channel. I’m a 28y/o F who tends to get acne along my neck, chest, and back (after stopping hormonal BC). I’ve read using benzoyl peroxide wash (leaving on for 5min in shower before washing off) is first line. What are your thoughts on this over cerave salicylic acid? My skin gets VERY dry. Should I use a moisturizer with an active? Thank you for your informative Channel!! Wish I was in NY so I could come see you!
