Totally have the same thought on wishing brands would all sell samples or minis to test before purchasing a full size bottle. I have wasted so much money on sunscreens that did not work for me.
Samples would also be amazing for those of us with super sensitive skin. I hate spending $20 or more only to discover after a few days my face is reactive to it. We have to try so many products sometimes before we find the right one that works.
I used to have pretty high 'white coat' blood pressure at the gyno's office, dreading that exam lol and finally suggested that they take my blood pressure at the end of the appointment instead of the beginning. After the exam was over my pressure was normal, and 6 months later at my next appointment they had actually made it policy!
Greetings from Taiwan🎉 I love watching your videos. They are very educational. Whenever I have a question about my skin care procedure I always watch your videos to make sure I am doing the right thing. Thank you so much❤
Dr dray I have started following your channel few months back. I really appreciate your good work. I have started wearing sunscreen. You are doing a great work. Wish you all the best. Love you❤️
Plain old petroleum jelly is also good for removing stubborn makeup. Of course wash it off with a warm wash cloth with your favorite foaming cleanser after. But like the Doc says, it’s great for the dry skin around your eyes. And even putting the smallest amount on your lashes moisturizes them.
I would love a video on product recommendations and tips for people who have psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea while having combo skin that’s a mainly dry n oily on the t zone
@Uncle-Charlie Thank You So Much!! I'm So Glad You're Going to Have Some Really Nice Weather, it Sure Makes Us Love Fall Even More!! Such a Beautiful Season!! God Bless You Always!!🙏🍁🌾🍁🤠🙏
Thank you for acknowledging that people with deeper skin get rosacea. My dermatologist considered every other diagnosis he could dream up, and even diagnosed me with lupus at one point, because he was adamant that only fair skinned people get rosacea. It wasnt until he learned that i had an irish grandparent (my heritage is otherwise west African) that he conceded, even though it had been so obvious to me.
I reacted to Aveeno Calm and Restore gel 😢 It’s hard out here! Thanks for thinking of us. I love seeing James Turrell’s Twilight Epiphany. Houston is an underrated art scene
For the last 4 months my rosacea has flared up so much that the pustules are everywhere and inflamed. Off to the dermatologist and now on basic QV face products (Australia) antibiotics and cream to kill the mites to put on at night! And I am 68 years of age and have had rosacea as long as I can remember but this time it has affected me mentally.
So sorry to hear this. I get rosacea with pustules as well. It only started around 1 and a half years ago. I noticed for myself that sprays and certain skin care products bring it out. Also once I had a flare from lots of crying, which I'm not sure if it was getting hot and emotional that caused the flare or my tears mixing in to whatever I had on my face lol. I worry that it will get worse in time . But at the moment if I get a flare I will discontinue whatever caused it and the flare will be gone within a week. I also keep some prescription azelaic acid around which I use often for acne but it also helps with rosacea. I hope the treatment you recieve helps you as I understand how it can bring you down from feeling your best and is embarrassing if you have to go out and face people. Hope it gets sorted soon
When you have super sensitive reactive Rosacea fungal acne skin, and still react to products geared towards and meant for this skin type and skin conditions… so frustrating. I also have diabetes yype 2 and vitamin D deficiency as well as being lactose intolerant and allergic to the milk protein it self. And besides that I shouldn’t react, have any other intolerances or allergies besides severe grass pollen allergy. Pre 2019, I had no issues except sensitive skin and I would react to alcohol in skincare, as well as green tea. Suddenly after starting actives and chemical exfoliants, toners, serums, and sunscreen my skin totally had a huge fit, and bam it doesn’t tolerate anything. Tried every both recommended and hyped skincare from a ton of brands, let it be European, Korean and Japanese. Still the same result. Even squalane breaks me out. Ironically my bf who is also lactose intolerant, but neither had Rosacea or sensitivity skin, even he reacted badly to squalane for whatever reason. No point going to the doctor. They either don’t believe me or miss diagnose. I stopped wearing skincare because nothing works.
I’ve never related more to a comment.. 100% me too. I can barely use Vanicream so I give up completely. Who thought something as simple as soap could be so frustrating and discouraging.
I needed this video, thanks ❤ it's so hard when u are aging and have sensitive and dry roseasca skin, and melasma and getting pimples and ure pores seems to become big dark holes on ur skin, how u even treat something like this.. most products aren't suitable for all my skin concern's.. im getting so discouraged and don't wanna look at myself 😭 Can u give me some advice?🙏
Thank you Dr Dray for sharing another informative and fun video ☺ I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea. I've been using the Neutrogena Ultra gentle creamy fragrance free cleanser and also the Hydro boost cleansing gel for over 5 years, I'm happy with the products 🥰 The creamy cleanser is gentle enough to use around the eyes to remove eye makeup, I sometimes use micellar water too. I use fragrance free laundry soap. I wear mineral based makeup that doesn't irritate my skin. The makeup brushes I use are the Ecotools. I walk every day, love being outside when it's nice 🚶♀ Take care everyone 🌹
I thought I was going through the “purging” phase when I started using the ordinary 10% niacinamide , then I knew it was too irritating for me to use twice a day , so I cut it down to thrice a week and then now I use it everyday once ,and if I do more than that,I feel like it’s getting hot on my face
I have horrible rosacea. I use CeraVe Oil Cleansing to wash my face. It is super helpful. I started using it after dr. Dray recommended it. Avene products help too, in particular, Lipid replenishing lotion Whenever I have a flare of rosacea, I use Prosacea or azelaic acid from Paula's Choice.
I have followed your rosesca advice in the past and have had a lot of luck with azelaic acid. It took me awhile to build up tolerance for it. Also, mineral sunscreen was really irritating but Korean sunscreen has worked (canmake). Another thing i struggled with was red itchy arms. I dont know if this is roseaca related, but very slowly using Gold Bond age retinol has helped along with protecting arms from sun.
I've been enjoying the Cerave oil cleanser and my sensitive skin is tolerating it well. I had been using the Elf cleansing balm as my first cleanse but recently switched back to Albolene since its thicker and more moisturizing and I enjoy using it in the cooler, drier months. Your walk was so pretty through the trees. I love spending time outside. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a restful evening. 💕
Hi Mary, do you use that cerave oil cleanser after the albolene? It’s on my buy list but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I’ve been happy with the neutrogena hydroboost cleanser. Albolene is definitely underrated!
I am a candle polygamist! I don't usually burn more than one at a time, but I have at least 10 different ones going at any given time depending on my mood. I do the same with fragrances. Okay, I admit that I have a hoarder personality!😂
Hadalabo Cleansing oil is the very best! I love it as the first step in my evening cleanse. I first heard about it on your channel and I’m so glad you still mention it for people who might be new, who are looking for a nice way to remove makeup or sunscreen.
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Sunday😀n what a Wonderful Vlog…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Good🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
Same here! Until I saw a RU-vid dermatologist washing her face, and she had little bands around her wrists that catch the water. I got a set from Amazon ... a headband and two sets of wristbands. They work wonders!
I would be curious what numbers people keep track of, if any. I think it would show our individual idiosyncrasies. I personally write down how much sleep I get each night, what my weight is first thing in the morning, and how much protein I consume in a day. I don't count calories but I'm focused on eating more protein to maintain my muscle composition as I get older. Blood pressure is a good one to keep track of. I don't wear a Fitbit or anything like that so I don't know my heart rate or how many steps I take in a day.
Such great advice about getting outside for your mental health. I live in a hot humid place where I avoid going outside until it drops below 85 and the humidity is below 70% so I end up being inside for months and get something similar to S.A.D.. My mental health is definitely suffering. Plus my husband works swing and night shifts which messes up our sleep. Enjoyed your walk under the oaks and the background music. Thank you 💝
it blows my mind that you can tolerate neutrogena around the eyes! that one is like tabasco around my eyes. tinted mineral has to go around my eyes when i use that one lol
Just started using sunscreen off & on for about a year. Most burn or make me break out. I didn’t know we can put by eyes. Im in sun all day in and out driving . So im really trying to find something that works !! Thzzz 🙏🙏
I haven’t been able to buy the Vanicream antiperspirant anywhere for about 2 months. It’s also out of stock through your Walmart link. I really hope it becomes available again. I love that stuff. I started using it from your recommendation a while back.
@@AA-kq2rp I don’t like the almay one. It never dries down and always pills on me. However my underarms seemed to calm down now’s I stopped using bpo daily (only once a week now), and use dove sensitive skin fragrance free bar soap on my underarms. Perspiration and odor is down as well, but not eliminated. Will try to reintroduce deodorant/antiperspirant to see if it helps
I know for some recording or write down the results of the blood pressure monitor can be quite frustrating or even bothersome for some individuals but think of it the way Doctor Andrea suggests and that is that your effort of writing your body's personal information can be quite useful and helpful for the doctor to understand and create a more well based and rounded picture about your overall health and get into the proper treatment if you need any 😅 ok ❤. Oh the gardens always make my day watching the flowers, their majestic colour filling the place with pure magic 😊❤ and delightful scents 🌸🌼. It was really a wonderful Vlog 😊 miss Andrea indeed ❤ take care and have a great morning 🎉.
I’m not sure if I have Seb derm or rosacea but thank you for this video! Still on my journey to figuring out what’s wrong with my face and what works best
Fabulous vlog, Dr Dray. Those beautiful oaks and flowers…soothing! I’ve shared your information with my husband who has rosacea (mild case). He really appreciated your advice. 🙏🏻 See you soon!
that neighborhood and garden you visited look beautiful!! i can totally see you growing your own veggie and flower garden on your balcony in the future 🥒🍅🍓 😄
Dr. Dray~I purchased that DHC cleansing oil for my rosacea-prone skin, as well as the Isntree yam root cleansing milk! Got them from Stylevana as the cleansing oil came with a cute headband to keep hair out of my way when washing my face….no more makeup wipes for me!! I also bought those wrist guard things that stop water from running down my arms when washing my face at the sink! Can’t wait to try it all, thanks to you. Have a GREAT week😊❤
Great vlog & tips for sensitive skin. How does one differentiate between rosacea & eczema. The symptoms you mentioned for rosacea are also true for eczema. Would the same skincare routine eg products be similar for both? Loved watching how you do a double cleanse.😊
Actually I dont play the waiting for the Dr. game. My time is just as valuable, thats why we set appointments. If you keep me waiting, I find a new Dr. 💡
@@sharmilasinguru11 I have rosacea too and I tolerated well. I hope you do too if you try it. EDIT: P.S. DHC is very good at sending out samples. If you want to dip your toe in, try that
Hi Jackie! Happy Sunday!! I hope you had a beautiful day. It was definitely sweater weather here today. In the 50's and it's supposed to be in the 40's tonight. I've already turned on my heated blanket and the kitties have all piled on! How about some tea, my dear, sweet friend? Let's brew a cup and relax together while getting kitty cuddles. I hope you are doing well and have a lovely evening. Peace, joy and many blessings to you, always. ❤🕊❤🙏❤🐈☕☕🐈❤🍂🍁
@@marylawman8603HI Mary! Oh Your Weather Sounds so Delightful! It Spells Out Tea, Cozy Kitty Cuddles, and Doing it Together! I am so Thankful and Blessed to Have a Dear Precious Sweet Sweet Friend Like You!! Let's Really Enjoy this Evening! God Bless You Always!...Sweet Dreams!🙏🐈🐈❤️🫖☕️☕️❤️💤🙏
The only cleanser I will ever use is California Baby super sensitive formula. Zero irritation and doesn’t strip my skin. I’ve used everything including CeraVe. Nothing compares to California Baby products for rosacea and sensitive skin.
Dr Dray, serious question! Can you recommend a competent derm in NY? My 16yo son has literally tried it all, seen few derms, and no help with his acne. Pls help!!
Yes winter is too idealized! Sure the hot dranks and fireplace is cozy but it’s only cozy because the alternate is negative temps in my area! I also have a theory that fireplaces are cozy due to evolution lol. 😅 but man do they dry me out. My eyes are noticeably dry every time but it feels so nice
I didn't realize you were in Houston. I grew up there, and worked for a Vet in West U for many years before I moved away to a tiny town near Memphis. Before I had kids I moonlighted as a dog walker and pet sitter, and took many walks around the campus, so I instantly recognized a that path.
I have rosacia and have been using Dr. Hauschka cream cleanser for years. It removes makeup well without irritating my skin. It does have a scent that some may not like as it has several natural ingredients.
Dr. Can you please provide advice regarding hot shower burns. Long term red skin. Unable to go outside. Been applying QV Eczema Daily cream, for 3 months. No improvement. Unable to go outside. Any type of heat will burn the skin. Any advice would be great.
Hi Dr. Dray! I have been watching you for years and love your content! I just read that supposedly the EU is restricting retinol products to 0.3% due to “safety concerns.” This information is from a skincare company that uses a “proprietary peptide”, so I am obviously skeptical. Can you comment on this? A lot of us Retin-A and/or so obviously it is a concern. Thanks for all you do! 😊
I'm 68 and have dealt with rosacea all of my life. I find that I treat my face with such kid gloves (non-foaming cleansers, etc) that I need the help of an exfoliator to promote skin turnover (because I also have age spots) but exfoliators are so harsh. What do you recommend?
Happy Sunday! I bought the Cetaphil redness relief spf 20 after eyeing it for years. When it arrived yesterday, it's an spf 40! I can not find anywhere where it was changed?? Anyone? I'm stoked it's 40 now, but... weird that I can't find any info about it 😅
**update!!** Galderma confirmed that the Cetaphil Redness Relief has been reformulated to an SPF 40!!! Yay!!! It was way too orange for me, but I'm really excited they upped the SPF! 🙌
Dr dray,does collagen in capsule form help with hair growth.?For about 19.95 from Walmart I picked some up.I can see my nails appear stronger,however I don't know about thickening of my hair??Also at Ulta they carry the brand OUIA.Its for hair growth??Could u please let me know what u think is great for hair growth????
Hey Dr Dray, love your work. I have rosacea and struggle with any moisturiser. But just a serum I'm fine with. Do I have to moisturise my face or can I just use a serum? Xxx
Avene milk cleanser - hyaluronic acid - Tatcha water cream (AM) - sunscreen 》》 hada labo hydrating moisturizer ( yellow one ) PM followed by Laneige night mask. These treat my rosacea i had to stop other products and used them back one by one. I managed to find out which is causing the redness, it was the sunscreen from cerave. After my face return to normal then i started using the retinol, glycolic and peptides.
I find Dr Drays advice very helpful for rosacea ( i get redness and burning with pustules on my cheeks, around my mouth and between the eyebrows). Since entering my late 20s the skin on my face has become very reactive. I cant use dry shampoo, hair spray or face oils anymore... which i am sad about cause i loved how my skin would glow (marula oil). I had a hard time finding a good spf but found the supergoop mineral spf is really good for me.
Something simmilar happened to me going into my 20's. I used to think I just had acne, and some random allergic reactions which I would go to urgent care or emergency derm appointments for. Best thing I did for my skin was actually go see a derm when I wasn't having an active allergic reaction. She diagnosed my rosacea and based on my skin type told me that I should just cut down on everything and try benzoyl peroxide. Dr dray had a great video on short contact therapy and my skin has been so clear since. I love the Avene non tinted mineral sunscreen myself. The ISDIN is my favorite but too expensive lol.
@@eggyboi419 I use prescription azelaic acid to help with acne and it also treats rosacea, so it is good to have on hand incase something flares it up. In general I alternate between nipfab daily exfoliating pads, it is only 2% glycolic acid with some lactic acid. It helps with acne and doesn't flare my skin. On the next night i use the ordinary absorbyl glucoside and aveeno face and restore rehydrating night cream. Then the azelaic acid on top. My skin gets on well with these. I use the abscorbyl glucoside every morning under spf. I also use cerave foaming cleanser whenever I wash my face. I tried the SA cleanser for acne control but it triggered the rosacea.
@@eggyboi419 I love the cetaphil redness night moisturizer, I use it am/pm all year. Any gentle cleanse oil/cream, I have dry skin and they don’t make a difference honestly. In the winter I also use a hydrating essence but I don’t have a favorite. I use Vaseline pretty liberally overall. Keeping it simple overall to get a good baseline and only changing a product every few months is key.
Dr dray, you should try listening to sleep stories from calm RU-vid channel while you’re cooking. They help me fall asleep ! But they’re nice if you just need to mentally relax but prevent daydreaming too. You don’t need headphones because you’re supposed to be able to drift in and out of the story (like you would do when falling asleep). a big plus!
I’ve listened to blue gold (or is it blue velvet?) by Stephen fry and the train one by bra. Want to hear more but I anyways fall asleep lol I recently listened to bride and prejudice on RU-vid. Big mistake! It is one of my favorite books and I was glued to it the entire 10 hours until I finished it lol not good when you have stuff to don
