There's no guaranteeing these are the best for you (it's too hard to get the right data for this) but these are products I consider to be from reputable brands, at a good price point, and which I like to use.

I love how you don't take yourself too seriously and this def was not a boring video.

Terrific video. Great blend of irreverence, insight, and optimism. We are so fortunate to have empathic and compassionate physicians like him.

Omg this video legitimately made me tear. It has always been my dream to become a Dermatologist. I was really affected with my acne growing up and I think it’s one of the hardest things I’ve overcame. I also dream of living in NYC. You are truly an inspiration and I will follow you along your path! I am going to apply to medical schools this spring :)

[mursalshahrestani]

love the way you are so humble, and still remembering allah in peak of success . your praying scene was heart touching

[munazzasharfuddin]

🤣 love your sense of humour, definitely made my Monday! It’s a delight to be subscribed to yours & Shireen’s channels. I’d love to see more daily routines and experiences in NYC. Thanks for sharing this with us Usama and I wish you all the best! May Allah give you barakah in all your endeavours.

Wow. I loved the ending so much. So much gratitude. No wonder ur vibe is amazing

[Anonymousever]

You might not see this, but i want to be a dermatologist when im older and your video is very informative and inspiring (you also have a good sense of humour 😂) you make dermatology look very nice and it makes me want to do it even more despite all the years it takes. Thank you :)

Oh man. It’s so refreshing to see a doctor acknowledge hydradinitis suppurativa. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago after horrible symptoms for so long. It took two dermatologists to finally get the diagnosis and get mine under control. What a horrific condition.

[FaisalJamshaid]

Bro this was SO GOOD! The B-Roll, humour, music and even the switching of tone from humour to gratitude, loved it! Made me wanna book my flight over 👀✈️

[kellye.]

This video is so positive I love it 😭 I love how optimistic you are and how you describe Central Park. I’ve lived in queens and visited Manhattan frequently since I was born and it’s nice but I never really appreciated it that much. New York is just so expensive. Unless you have a lucrative job it’s financially stressful. I was thinking of moving but I can’t see myself away from family and friends. It’s nice to see others really enjoying New York life though

As a medical student in the UK you inspire me to dream big! Proof that with hard work anything is possible

[Shalini.__]

You have a great personality! Thanks for making it super fun to watch

[bullholder]

Amazing vlog. You (and Shireen!) are both examples of how you can make it in America against all the odds. Mashallah. I'm still in UK medical school but I am also going down this pathway and seeing you guys post advice and show how practicing medicine can be different at consultant level to here, is such an inspiration and keeps me motivated. May Allah bless you with every success.

[natthakornpongsettakul]

I do love this VDO & your sense of humor! Living a dream life, it's really inspire me ❤ Thanks

[diegoaceves]

To be honest, I didn't want to watch this video. When I saw 14 minutes of duration, I though "next one", but at the final I am not disappointed, I really enjoyed every second, and repeated some parts hahaha. I hope you're good 😌

[abeeha]

moved from my hometown in NY more than 10 years ago, and now am currently studying for the usmle in hopes that one day, I too, can be grateful of the little girl’s dreams of working as a doctor in NY.

[xoxoxo]

Allah humma barik brother..I too am an aspiring dermatologist from India with a dream of starting my own skincare line One day.. you're really inspiring, being an IMG yet managing to get derm is a big deal.

[alaamalik]

Salam! Recently subscribed but really enjoyed this video! As a med student considering derm, this was very insightful! I would love to see more videos on your life in NYC, tips for matching into competitive specialties, and why you chose derm (and what other specialties you were deciding between and how you ultimately decided).

[kokok]

Love your sense of humor and how you balance faith within your life. Could you please make a video of how you became a dermatologist especially has an IMG. It's already hard enough to do this as a U.S. grad, but getting a spot as an IMG is so impressive mA.

The scooter ride had me snort laughing and woke up my baby 😅😅 hilarious! Keep them coming!
