I think I know whatā€™s going on especially after seeing enough patients improve after implementing this extra step before your retinoid- hope this helps but always see your dermatologist for medical advice tailored to you! šŸ¤™

Everyoneā€™s talking about the ā€œnewā€ Olay Retinol 24ā€¦ but is it actually better? Hereā€™s how Iā€™d think about it as a dermatologist:ļæ½āœ”ļø Good starter retinolļæ½āœ”ļø Added peptides for supportļæ½ā— Still need consistency + sunscreen Save this before you go šŸ›’ shopping!šŸ˜ŽšŸ¤™

Most people donā€™t fail retinolā€¦ they just use it wrong.
I see this every week in clinic, seeing hundreds of patients who are using retinoids for acne, dark spots wrinkles:
ā€¢ Using way too much
ā€¢ Skipping moisturizer
ā€¢ Quitting too early
ā€¢ Not wearing SPF

If your skin is burningā€¦ thatā€™s NOT purging.
Retinoids workā€”but only if you use them correctly.
Better technique = better skin.
Save this so you donā€™t damage your barrier.

Turns outā€¦ Iā€™ve been doing laundry wrong too. Huge thanks to Kim, head of the Procter & Gamble laundry team, for the crash course. Even doctors need reminders. šŸ§ šŸ§ŗ šŸ‘‰ Save this so you donā€™t keep washing your clothes the wrong way šŸ‘‰ Send this to someone who overloads the washer

Not all vitamin C serums are the same. šŸ‘‰ L-ascorbic acid = more potent, less stable šŸ‘‰ Derivatives = gentler, less studied Donā€™t break the bank if youā€™re starting off on a vitamin c serum and these are great starts! What is your fav drugstore pick? šŸ¤” šŸŠ

I probably shouldnā€™t be saying thisā€¦ but these ā€œboringā€ skincare hacks work better than most viral products šŸ‘€
Save this so you actually use them šŸ‘‡

Have you tried this yet?? What is your fav mineral sunscreen that doesnā€™t leave a white cast?

Hot take: most expensive skincare isnā€™t worth it. But these two categories? Formulation matters A LOT.

Not all ā€œinvisibleā€ sunscreens feel the same šŸ‘€
I tested **Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Invisible Gel SPF 40 vs **La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50ā€”and the differences show up when you actually use the right amount.
One is more matte + water resistantā€¦
The other is lighter, glowier, and easier to reapply.
Both are good. But theyā€™re not interchangeable.

Stop using hydrogen peroxide on your cuts šŸš« Itā€™s killing the very cells your skin needs to heal. Clean it, protect it, let it repair.

Deep dive discussion on how formulation matters more than ever when it comes to vitamin c serums. Hope this helps!šŸ¤™ šŸŠ
