I appreciate how Dr Maxfield really pays attention when Dr Shah is talking and vice versa. Eye contact is communication 101. 👀 Don’t make it weird folks!

I've been using Retin-A since age 26. I just turned 60 and I am happy with my skin. I'm glad I started young!

[indianuk]

I love the friendship between you guys.

[saraleijon]

As a neuroscientist, I really appreciate that you deliver evidence based information. When you refer to publications I look at both of you they way Dr Maxfield looks at Dr Shah 😉 (yes, you do it more)

[stephaniesanchez]

Here for the helpful info, but committed to the bromance 😂

First time I've seen any of your videos and I have to say I'm impressed with all the knowledge and insight - so I've subscribed straight away! So good to see men talking about skincare so expertly along with a sense of humour! You guys make a fantastic duo!

I started my then Retin A (now, tret 0.05%) when I was 24 😬 I’m 50 now and people always get shocked when I tell them my age… hehehe… I use it 4 times a week, AHA once a week, BHA once a week (yessss I still have hormonal acne every now and then) and a day off actives once a week 😬 Oh, and I use my LED 3-4 times a week. Vit C and SPF every morning… That’s it! 😘 Btw, I love both these docs… Dr. Maxfield is so adorable with his shyness and the way his eyes penetrate and, Dr. Shah looks like the main actor from Lucifer (the tv series).

I accidentally found you two the other day and can't stop watching. I absolutely love your videos!

Dr Maxfield: “If you wait until you’re 30 to start using a retinol, that would be a disaster”

Me: 😳

[mirandahiggins]

I need a video of you breaking down myths about what you can use with retinols and what you can’t! Like vitamin C, aha’s, all that

[onlyyyme]

This just popped up in my feed because I've been recently researching retinol at 43yo. Seeing your videos is the 1st time I'm actually comfortable and ready to start using it. Even the witch hazel video. Making my first retinol purchase 2morrow. 💖 from TEXAS.

I, a 9 month pregnant woman about to breastfeed is in DIRE need of your pregnancy and breastfeeding skin care video, please!!!

[silentgirltears]

Love the bromance here, brothers from different mothers so beautiful to see 🥰

[yessivelazquez]

I swear, if my boyfriend doesn't look at me the way Dr. Maxfield looks at you... I don't want him ☹😭🤣

[lorirubin]

Yep… I fall in love when Dr. Maxfield looks at the camera with his smile. You gentlemen are great. Always fun to watch.. I love that you both seem to have fun doing this and love your info. Started watching recently but you are both adorable!!

[kymee]

You can tell the real friendship between you two, cracks me up!

[beatrizperezjupiteres]

I stumbled on your videos by accident looking for information about Retinol and Melasma. I have to tell you I love your videos, not only they are really informative you two always put a smile in my face. Thank you and keep up the great job.
