Just putting it out there-subliminal affirmations for acne and skin problems on Borlest work wonders. If you’ve never tried it, now’s the time. You’ll be amazed at the difference!
A video on how to treat dark stained armpit will totally help. I also just want to say that your knowledge and recommendations has transformed my cystic acne to beautiful clear skin. I also want to thank you for taking your time to create all of these videos. Sincerely thank you sooo much, since having no insurance or money to go to a dermatologist your videos helps a lot of people like myself.
. I mixed tumeric powder from a capsule with lemon juice from a lemon and sugar to make a scrub. I used this like 4 times a week and it cleared my pits
I personally watch you because you are relatable… pay no attention to critics… love your direct and funny content. Top notch info, low tech is best. We aren’t the doctor, you are. Lol
Oh yes, my whole life story. My scaring is not as rough in sense of surface but the discoloration is there and it's brown ish and goes worse with sunlight. So what I do is eucerin and AHA. And azaelic acid. Love your bracelets. Thank you for your advices.
To put it simple and straight, you woke me from a long slumber. Now I feel the need to change and that's what I have started to do, mainly thanks to your powerful influencing videos. I remain thankful beyond words. Now whenever the class will be in session and you're in charge, I'll be there to pick the wisdom you gift away. I remain sincerely thankful. Stay Blessed.
Hypochlorus acid is so underrated! After learning about it through you and trying it (especially spraying my mask I wear 9-10 hours a day), I got everyone at my job using it because of how great it is haha.
I don't think your intro is too long. I enjoy watching you from start to finish of every single video you release. We all appreciate your work that you do for us and we love your personality! 🤍
Hi Dr. Shreene . This video was on fire with information, recommendations, examples and careful advice. Plus the humor that makes watching this video a joy to watch. Skin issues can be heavy on a person. Trying to approach it with a passionate but light attitude is relatable. We are here in the Skin Nerds Club to learn and to take action. To not lose hope and keep trying. Thank you for your time, attention to detail and personality to make this interaction between you and little skin nerds club happen every Saturday.
This might sound weird, but you have no idea how comforting it is to see a man who is married to a dermatologist but still dealing with acne. It makes it seem like maybe having a few spots isn't the calamity my brain makes it out to be.
You are an absolute godsend Shereene. I've had no idea where to begin with my acne scars and did not want to waste my money on products that might not work but now I know what could help. Thank you!
I dont think you intro is too long at all, personally I love it. I look forward to your videos every week and personally my biggest skin concern is PIE, has seen such huge improvement in my skin since following your channel and I started using la roche posay cicplast baume balm a few months ago when I saw you recommending it, it has been a game changer. Thank you
Yes please do a video on textural scars! I've had 2 RF microneedling treatments but sadly without great results. And I have darker skin, fitzpatrick 4-5, so I'm not sure about lasers. Hearing what you have to say would be wonderful!
I love everything about your videos. Don't change for the silly ones. This old lady (65 first 7 years in sunny south on fair skin PAF) has learned so much about my sensitive skin that I have struggled with forever. Thank you. Men are terrible patients (married forever ~not sexist)👌🏽thanks merci gracias
I love your intros and being called skincare nerds. Your intros help us to get to know you and enjoy your personality. 🙂 We get your wisdom once a week and enjoy all the time we get. 😉
More about hypertrophic scars please! I’ve had many excisions of abnormal moles and the stitches left me with raised scar bumps worse than the incisions themselves. ☹️
Hey!! no matter what people say, you keep doing you!! A lot of people like to comment negatively to get attention. Your intros were just great don't listen to the people telling you what to do. That's the mistake many influencers make
I knew a woman many MANY years ago 😂 who suffered with deep, acne scarring (my husband has a few but he can hide behind a beard 😊) and she had a procedure done that was like sanding the face. I don't recall what it was called and the healing the process was a while. It looked scary, I won't deny but then it healed and WOW it was amazing how much better she looked. It had taken up so much visual space in her appearance I honestly didn't know what she really looked like! What a difference this made to her confidence which was the best benefit of the whole procedure. She threw an abusive husband to the curb, landed a great job and went on to enjoy a so much better life. It was astounding what a difference this procedure made in her life. I would even go so far as to say it was the best investment she ever made. I do think creams can help but if the scarring is severe I do think it's worth investing in the procedure in a derms office if it's affordable.
Another great and informative video! Thank you!!! And yes please can you do a video on textured acne scars? I am definitely blessed to have post acne hyperpigmentation scars that fade fairly easily…the textured scarring on the other hand can be devastating at times 🥺 Thank you again and I can’t wait for your next video! 😁
You're the most informative channel on the toic of skin care and deserve more likes on this video. Thanks for being super thorough. And super thanks from someone who is in a tight spot and can't afford to go to a dermatologist right now. ❤️
Clicked faster than a mofo x We love you you beautiful human being! You are a gift to us skin nerds. You are not just helping our skin, you are helping a combination-supersensitive soul like me living in a humid tropical country of the PH --- with my mental health by understanding the complexity of skin and the things than can and can't help em ♥️🙏🏼
I really appreciate you sharing that information about your dear husband. It's very comforting to know that even being married to one of the top dermatologists it's okay to not always have perfect skin. But he is so fortunate to have you!
I miss you calling “skin nerdsss!!!”, it's not in the intro! 🥺 But the whole video is great and informative as always! God bless!!! I would Love to meet you in person. Sending all my love from Philippines ❤️
I suffer from acne scars, mostly icepicks, and I'm not sure what types of laser treatments would help me approve the appearance of my skin. What would you recommend? Many thanks for considering my request. Take care.
It's so fascinating how quickly my outbreaks stopped and I got cured permanently from HSV 1&2. All thanks to @Draloha1 ru-vid.com/show-UC_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww ♥️🧡🇺🇸
This is very helpful! Currently struggling with PIE on my temples, and some of the ingredients you’ve mentioned were things I never knew would work. Currently using niacinamide. Would try some of the things you mentioned! Thank u for this!
I really don't want to be taking sides but please introductions are why we are here. We love your content and self and we appreciate knowing about you or anything you have to share (: just a thought!
Hi Shereene, thanks again for a lovely video! I was wondering whether some of the products you mentioned for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation would also work on other parts of the body. Last summer, I accidentally poured some boiling water on myself and got a second-degree burn on my thigh. It cured nicely but I now have a 20x5cm darker spot on my thigh. I’m guessing it, too, is due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation? After getting the burn I took a lot of care not to expose it to the sun at all and then, luckily, we went into winter! But the spot is still there despite it being months since the accident happened. Any help is appreciated ❤️ PS: I love that you actually explain to us the pathophysiology of different conditions and then explain how the various cosmetic/chemical compounds work to tackle the issues 👏🏼
Hello Dr Shereen Idriss, i admire you a lot i think that the way you articulate your words is very entertaining, you're very very fun to watch. To me you're like the good friend who provide safe space for skin nerds like us 💖
Please please please do a video on atrophic skin / textural scars. I’ve seen 3 dermatologists in London for a sudden appearance of atrophic scars (in the absence of recent acne) in the lower cheek area which I’ve been told could be from acne flares of 20 years ago manifested into the 50s. Very very odd. Been assured it’s not the tretinoin (+niacinimide+azeleic) formulation I’ve been on for nearly a year. Unsure if it’s the l-ascorbic acid? Or whether indeeed past acne scars can become prominent with menopausal skin changes? Such a minefield! I’d a appreciate a deep-dive. I absolutely love your educational skin videos. Don’t stop making these. You’re an absolute star !
I love your videos, super helpful. I've suffered from acne for 9 years, used a ton of products, and visited dermatologists. Your videos have helped me understand my skin more ❤
I was waiting for you to cover this topic! Thank you so much!! I was wondering when in your routine you would incorporate hypochlorous acid? Before: instead of toner? Can you also spray it on throughout the day on top of your sunscreen? Thanks so much in advance!
Thank you again for another informative video, love slowly being educated while hungover in bed : ) Would love to know more about long-term textured scars, as i've had an acne scar on my nose since I was about 15 that's slightly raised and often becomes more red : (
Hi! I’m always wondering which products to apply (and not) to eye area. It seems like you don’t apply sunscreen or vitamin c, retinol but those are the places I feel I need those most. 👁❤️
you can put vitamin c around the eye area and you definitely should put sunscreen around your eyes! as for retinol, i’ve watched dr. shereene’s video (i forgot which one) but basically you can dilute the retinol with your moisturizer to make it less strong for the eye area
I suffered from ‘Maskme’ last year. By the time I figured out the cause of my acne, I had so many post acne scars. Luckily, I have controlled my acne. Now I’m working on my scarring. I needed this video so bad thank you 🙏🏼
I like the long intros, rarely do I like it wuen others do it but when it's you it feels more like you genuinely care rather than you're trying to sell a product. Whoever said that needs to get a grip 😒
I beg you to make a video on textural scars. I m just a teenager and suffered from extreme cystic acne. I really need your help because you deep dive into details and explain everything so well. A fan since the very begining.
I'm so so grateful for all your videos! I've been binge-watching them for the last fortnight and I've learned SO much! I completely overhauled my skincare routine based on your recommendations and advice, and someone already (unprompted) said my skin is looking good. I'd LOVE a video on hollowing under the eyes. I feel like as I'm ageing, my tear troughs are losing volume and it's the main thing that's bothering me. I was wondering if there are any products that can improve it. A lot of the ones I've seen are hyaluronic acid-based, which I now know is not a great ingredient.
Yes, please don't pay attention to negative comments. I love watching you just the way you are! You are the most intelligent, well-educated, product savvy, skincare guru on youtube- with the BEST personality! Please keep going and being yourself. My skin has def improved since taking your suggestions and understanding more due to your teachings. (Also, I need to apologize. I made two negative comments about your makeup- I'm an idiot. You are beautiful and makeup is completely irrelevant to your channel. I feel really bad for criticizing, esp for something so ridiculous. Sorry.)
Hi Shereene! I was wondering, does hydroquinone (like in Ambi cream) fade red post-acne marks? I know it's advertised to fade brown spots but does it work on red spots too or is another ingredient better for that? Thank you!
You should check with the glass test that dr Idriss showed us if your redness is made up of pigment or bloodvessels. If the red marks are make up of pigment hydroquinone will probably work because its a tyrosinase inhobitor so it stops the production of melanin. :)
I’ve never seen Dr. Shereene this calm please don’t change lol. Just wanna let people know that Dr. Shereene went to a French school and Lebanon also has French as a second language. The way Dr. Shereene speaks reminds me a lot of my French-speaking friends which is very expressive😁
I'm late to this channel but I'm so happy I found your account! I've never had such bad skin until now, and I recently discovered it was caused by diet, specifically chicken (bc hormones). Your account has one of the most, if not the most informative videos and I'm so grateful for your tips and advice. Thank you!
Hi doc can u please talk about murads environmental shield serum that has glycolic acid and vit c ... Also please tell me which type of derivative of vit c it has.
🙏🙏🙏 thank you for this! Literally the first time I have had different types of scaring explained this way. I now know I have post inflamatory erythema that I have been trying to treat with PIH products.
Thanks so much! Could you try doing a video on antioxidants what we should be looking for! And forget the haters about the intro. Love your videos, no need to change sister!
Hi Dr. Shereene! I agree please disregard the negative comments about your intro! Thank you again for another amazing video of you sharing your skin care knowledge! Please I would love to hear another video about texture! I am 33 and about to start rotations! I need all the help I can get! thank you again!
A video request: starting a skincare routine from scratch in your late 30s. I really appreciate your videos, and love and appreciate skincare, but mine just doesn't work for me anymore. I've used pretty much the same products through my 20s and early 30s and I can tell it needs a reboot, but don't know where to start and how to build a new routine from scratch. 😭 I've gone from regular compliments to dull, textured, break out prone. It's bad! Thank you for your work! ♥️
Brown skin here, now at late 30s paying the price of not using sunscreen regularly in my 20s and most of 30s. But thanks to Dr Idriss, I am now a sunscreen junkie, and my skin texture changed so much for the better. I get less breakouts than used to be. I am prone to PIH. Sunscreen, vitamin c, AHA, niacinamide and azelaic acid are staple of my skincare routine (took some time off from retinol). Redness used to be not my issue. But these days I am having red patches around my nose. The skin is sensitive too there to use actives. Even if I don’t use any active there for weeks, it’s not getting better. So, most likely not a skin barrier problem. Wondering if it’s perioral dermatitis. Thanks for the wonderfully educational content (as always).
Would you please do a video on melasma? You’ve mentioned that melasma is a *itch that’s difficult to treat. I’d like to learn more about it in-depth and all of the treatments (both otc and prescription treatments (and also in-office procedures). I love your videos! I’ve learned so much and being informed helps me when I go to see my dermatologist. Knowledge is power, right?
I have been using the Glossier niacinamide + zinc serum for years and it is the BEST niacinamide serum that I have tried. The texture is beautiful: no stickiness and it absorbs quickly. It has been the only treatment I use for PIE and the 5% concentration is highly effective. I believe it's definitely worth the splurge and I always buy two bottles of it during their annual sale.
Hi Doctor Idriss, thank you for all your video, being 40, i could not believe i would still get the worst breakouts. I stopped pricking them after watching a few of your videos. I currently have i think hormonal acne that is spreading throught my entire face now. I also have black heads and white heads all over. Just sad that most of the recommended solutions are not available here in Canada. The only chance I have is to go to iherb but still has limited options. It’s hard to book with a dermatologist here and I remember when i was last there, he only spend 2 mins with me and after giving me some cream prescriptions told me that if it didn’t work then i would have to go with acutane( not sure if i spelled it right) apparently a lot of people here have gone through it.
I love longer video’s! Learning so much! Can you do a sunscreen recommendation for people that live in Europe? And if you on a holiday what skincare would you bring?
YES! The color component of my scars (red/pink) is my biggest issue. I don’t even care about the shallow atrophy of my scars. The pink/red makes it look like I still have my acne even 8 months after accutane.
Shereene , you inspire me to work hard by showcasing your amazing knowledge and doing it in a way that is helpful. Also, I hope you would do more video on hormonal acne breakouts and how to treat it. Lots of love...
