Hello Dr D, greetings from Canada. I am interested in SkinMedica,in particular the TNS Essential Serum. It is quite expensive $260, and I would like to know if it is worth using. Keep up the great job. Paula
I’ve used both and surprisingly the one made by Timeless Skincare was noticeably better. The Skinceuticals serum definitely improves your skin but one by Timeless makes my skin look far more even & radiant.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
It’s like the “gold standard” it’s the vitamin c serum with any/most scientific research to prove its efficacy and they have patented I believe their formulation or percentage since it’s proven to be the one that works for its purpose. However I advocate you should pay the big bucks on a good sunscreen you like and would wear repeated since unprotected UV exposer constitutes 80% of aging.
I'd get the CE ferulic, a great spf like La Roche or Skinceuticals or Coola. Maintain with Alpha Hydrox from Neoteric Cosmetics, at night if you're not on tretinoin or retinol. Along with Hyaluronic acid at night. The vitamin C, Sunblock and moisturizer will extend your collagen retention. Good luck.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for reviewing the skinCeuticals products as I have been interested in purchasing them. Could you please do more unboxing videos. Would be good to know what other budget friendly products you would recommend instead of the CE Ferulic Acid. Would you be able to cover The Ordinary range perhaps?
This kind of videos are great. Your review feels honest and trustworthy, and we get a professional insight on the products instead of fake blogger's paid publicity. Please keep doing it.
Would the C E Ferulic oxidise in the 6-9 months? That sounds like a really long time and I thought Vitamin C is highly unstable. Thanks for a great video!
Oh Dr. this was fantastic!! I as one who uses medical grade skincare really appreciate this lesson. So interesting that we are paying mostly for the name. I’d like to know the products you would recommend vs the products you’re reviewing. Penn Smith does a “buy this and not that” series that’s really interesting as well. Thanks so much🌸
Oh wow i waited for this video for so long. Thank you Doctor Lim.. 😍😍😍😍😍 i have the lots of skinceuticals products! I also started using biologique recherche. I hope you make a video about BR Too.. thanks dr Lim. Keep safe and God bless..
Dr can retinaldehyde medik8 crystal helpful for clogged pores n acne..tried adapalene but not sure wat cause my turn darker..I’m moderate brown iv Fitzpatrick type..kindly advice..tried differin one month n it clear my clogged pores without purging but it darken my skin tone...from Malaysia
Have you tried Drunk Elephant C-Firma compare to the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic acid serum? 💖 Since they have a very similar active ingredient list... I think L’oreal who own SkinCeuticals even tried to sue Drunk Elephant back in 2008 for being a “dupe”... ?? 🤔
I LOVE their recovery system that I use after a deeper microneedling. BTW, you are talking about how you get to much and I am over here across the pond thinking......don’t waste it. I will take it. 😂
I wish I have freebies too...Skin Ceuticals is too expensive for my budget especially their hero CE Ferulic Acid. And so I ended up using another dupe from Timeless, So far I am loving it :)
SC has great, good, so so and downright harmful products, however they’re all absurdly priced, like most brands, do so research, learn a little about chemistry, biology and don’t take a brands claims seriously, they can, at least in ten USA, legally write and claim absolutely anything they want without providing a single evidence, also, don’t ever over pay for cosmeceuticals, nothing is that expensive, not even the most exotic or new trendy ingredient, it’s all marketing bluff.
This is useful. Particularly regarding the ingredients and if the product actually contains enough to do anything. The information regarding Hyaluronic Acid not being much use applied on top of the skin is also good to know and lets consumers avoid spending on products that may not benefit as much as something else. The price point of these products is definitely a detraction. I would be interested in a video like this on your most recommended skin care essentials as well as some cheaper & more expensive alternatives to your favourites. Thanks
Both vit C and E are sometimes used as stabilisers in the product. So when you see them at the bottom of the list, it is added for the product itself, and in such low doses that it most likely has no effect on the skin at all. That being said, with the vit C and FA you don't need that vit E anyway.
I usually use Differin and my own brand vitamin A cream. And my RF EMF and LED Hand held device. But would love to know if there is more I can do without surgery please.
@TayTay Swift I purchased one for about €40 from amazon not so good and I recently bought one that looks the same but had EMF on it too was about €60 they have soooo many on there. My advice go mid range my new one is much better. ♥️
I will be more than happy if not giddy to take the Skincueticals off your hands! I’ll even pay shipping to the USA. I’ll even give you a personal review. All samples please send! Thank you!!!
Skinceuticals is hit or miss for me. I don’t like their products with essential oils. I wanted to like their triple lipid moisturizer, however it has peppermint oil and gave me a rash when I used it. I do like their CE Ferulic and physical fusion sunscreen.
I would never spend this much on a skincare product. Topically you are only going to achieve so much and I don't think upper price range products will work magic compared to cheaper alternatives. I use Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, which is essentially a dupe of the CE Ferulic for €10.50 (it turned yellowish after a month and a half the first time I used it so I keep it in the fridge now to keep it clear). I also use their retinaldehyde product because it is the cheapest, medium strength, cosmetically elegant, otc vitamin a product I have found at €12.50. I found the HPR products ineffective and The Ordinary's 1% in Squalane seemed to work but it wasn't very nice to use.
Also, I don't understand why the CE Ferulic is yellow to begin with. I have seen some people use it and it literally looks brown. The one I buy comes clear and becomes a pale yellow by the end of use or stays clear in the fridge. If it came yellow I probably wouldn't repurchase.
Wow what have you done - you look so much younger! - did you have a beard or something? not sure but your skin looks amazing - I use to love skinceuticals - haven’t used them for ages - I might look at buying the CE - I’ve noticed I have got pigmentation on both my face cheeks in the past few weeks that I didn’t have before, do you recommend laser pigmentation removal? I have had it done so many times for last ten years and haven’t had it done for seven months - but curious why it has come back worse -the past few weeks . Thank you
The CE Ferulic is my favorite product, has been for years. It is far superior to every other vitamin c I've tried; timeless, maelove, Paula's choice, The Ordinary, The Inky List, etc. I keep going back to it and have for at least the last 10 years. My only complaint is that it oxidizes fairly quickly. I can't seem to get it to last past about 3-4 months. Seems to have gotten worse since they were purchased by LOreal. If they changed to a pump instead of a dropper I would be over the moon! This is the only product I continue to use since they were bought. The formulas of their other products changed and they just aren't as good. If your rep is reading comments, "please go back to the original Emollience, the day and night for oily, the milky cleanser and the blemish and age".
@@lukasbeacon372 It will last approx. 4 1/2 months if you're using 4-5 drops per day. It will start to oxidize (turn yellow) not too long after it's been opened, even when kept in the fridge. However, don't worry about it because there's nothing that will prevent this. It's a natural process. Just use it up in a timely manner, and don't try to make it last for a year!! It will continue to get darker the longer you keep it. It's best to use it up when it's fresh!
The HA intensifier works well, but I stopped using it because it makes my skin sticky. Have since moved on to SkinMedica's HA5. No regrets on the HA5 other than the huge price tag ($178.00 USD)
Amazing video!! 1. How do you dilute the 1% retinol down without compromising the ingredients (with another serum etc)? 2. With Hyualaronic acid, should it be applied as 1st or last serum (after cleansing of course)? You mentioned applying it pre retinol to increase the absorption, is this the same for all serums. Or does the HA work best for moisture when applied pre other serums? Thanks!
I would be interested in a review of Obagi Retivance. I have been using this product for several months from my MedSpa, and it causes absolutely no irritation and has a very nice texture on the skin. Therefore, I am wondering if it is actually working?
Lucky you!! 😂 I'm looking for something to lift and firm my upper eyelids. I've always had heavy droopy lids and deep set eyes but with age I need to firm them up a bit ♥️
thank you for your content Dr. Lim. Wish all this skincare knowledge had been available back when I was 29 and asking a derm for help with my single wrinkle near my eye (lol). she had me start Renova - hardly explained anything about it; didn't even mention how to buffer it. I burned my face off - and didn't go back to vitamin A for 15 years :(. Younger folks are so lucky to have all this info about sunscreen and actives... and derms providing comprehensive online info...
This is expensive products! It is very informative to know what works and why. It’s also great when you talked about not only the smell but feel of the products. I keep hearing what bad things fragrances do to our skin. Thanks 😊
Hi Dr Davin , thanks for your honest review . Can you please let us know the skincare products/ingredients which are good for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers suffering with melasma and hyperpigmentation , many thanks
What are your views on Proxylane - the L'oreal developed active found in the HA Intensifier? It is also found in many other brands in the L'oreal Group. Thanks!
I love your videos! you are so honest, down to earth, and breakdown what is a great formula/ingredients vs more marketing activities. I now have the CE Ferulic on my wishlist, good to know that your colleagues also privately use it - speaks for the formula, thanks a lot!
Dude, you've been watching laptop unboxing's on RU-vid haven't you. Btw, I like their vitamin c cream - it goes well undermakeup. A bit like a good makeup base. P.SS- I'm environmentally sensitive, but damn, I'd really like to see a video on high concentration hero products from all the brands without all the sensitive drivel. Not all of us care about gently gently capiche?!!! Keep up the good work.
Last year my dermatologist recommended Skinceuticals as well as other brands for hypertension since lasers are not an option for me until I've exhausted a more less invasive treatment. I decided to start with Skinceuticals. I love the CE ferulic, Triple Lipid and even the Phloretin. I've spent over 1k in the last 6 months on my regimen including tretinoin, dermabrasion and peels. And daily cold or icy dips to reduce inflammation which exasperates hyperpigmentation and melasma. Well worth it! My skin looks great and it's recovering from the sun damage, thanks to the Florida sun. I've now allocated 2k a year to maintain my skincare and treatments. As I age I'm aware that budget will increase. Thanks for the review and information!!
@@domtekos7761 I'm sorry I don't know what EJ Ferulic acid is but I use and alternate between CE ferulic acid from skinceuticals in the morning followed by sunscreen and I've seen huge improvement. Must still limit sun exposure!! *Ferulic Acid and Tretinoin- cannot be use together* Hope my experience helps, but please please check with a dermatologist.
@@kungfumind. sorry. I corrected that typo my autocorrect. I am talking about the same stuff you use from skin ceuticals. Thanks for letting me know they should not be used together. Hmm now I'm wondering if it's better to use the Ferulic acid or the Tretnoin generally if I can't use them both. Thank you.
@@domtekos7761 no worries 😁 You should use the CE Ferulic in the morning and tretinoin at night with moisturizer. You should use both just not together.
Thank you for this! I'm a fan of Skinceuticals and I'm always keen to learn your perspective on ingredients. What struck me are your point on interest in science vs. pseudo-science, and how dermatologists like yourself are keeping abreast of where skincare is heading. Can you also please share with us your thoughts on Dr. Barbara Sturm line? Her anti-inflammatory and non-aggressive approach is interesting, and would love to learn your thoughts on that esp. on ingredients used vis-à-vis price point.
Hey! Love this style of video. Would really love you to review ultraceuticals, specifically their vitamin a serums and chemical exfoliants. I’ve had great results with the products but another pricey brand. Also I’m open to taking your unused samples lol. Love the content 👏🏻
I also have the skinceuticals triple lipds doc and it has fragrance. 😞 so i dont usually use it. I bought it what a waste if money. because they recommend it if you use the their retinol 0.5.. One question though Doc, why do I still get or some pimples dont go away even if i use the skinceuticals retinol 0.5? Maybe because im using it for only less than a month right? 😅
Very nice to know. I can’t afford even the moderate price products. LOL. I’ll search ur videos 🎥🎥🎥 possible reviews of much cheaper products. Again, thank you for your time & Knowledge❣️🥰🥰🥰🥰👵🏻 watching 👀 from Cincinnati, Ohio. USA.
I fully agree with you, HA from skinceuticals is nice but extremely sticky and it does not bode well with my other La prairie products I use. I felt the one from B. Straum, Ordinary and Dr. Denis much smother in the skin. I have just one question what retinol is the strongest (i.e. 1.00 skinceuticals, or tretinoin with prescription) and if one cannot get a prescription which one of the many out there would you recommend? I tried the 0.3 from skinceuticals it does nothing for my skin, I got the granactive 5% from Ordinary but have not seen any effects as of yet, got it a couple of weeks ago. I got the 11 forehead wrinkles saying hi every morning a bit fed-up. Using patches overnight which is great as it does not allow the forehead to wrinkle during night but want to attack the root of the problem without having to end up using botulinum toxin on my forehead. What would you recommend?
The biggest question/concern about SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic is whether or not the oxidation process impacts the efficacy of the product. SkinCeuticals says no, but many RU-vid channels state that the company isn't going to say otherwise. Since I have not seen my dermatologist since the Pandemic began in USA, I'm hoping you are able to weigh in with your opinion. Many thanks!
