I'll be 71 next month and I love skincare!!! My students tell me they can't believe I'm over 70. I tell you that because I didn't start caring for my skin until I was 55. It's never too late to take care of yourself!!!

This was helpful, but I don't know WHEN & in what order to apply these products. Please create a video on applying these products. What comes first, second, etc.

I like to do a mix of high and low priced anti-aging skin care products. But this excellent video proves you can do it on a budget. No excuses these days to skip anti-aging because of price. Thanks Dr. Sam...you slay.

Please create a video which explains the steps you take to cleanse and apply these products. What comes first, second, etc. Thanks!

Mother was an RN, I'm thankful she taught me to use SPF at an early age and to eat a wide variety of fruits/veggies. For the past 30 years, I've used glycolic acid once/week, retinA, six nights a week (or as tolerated), and my skin is pretty healthy. I revisited my routine recently because my skin def. changed during menopause. So I may reduce chemical peel to once a month or switch to an AHA wash, that still gives me the benefits of exfoliation but reduced contact to reduce the irritation factor.
My favorite products are CeraVe SPF 50, Vanicream Vitamin C serum, RX retinA, and Missha Time Revolution Essence. I like Undefined Day Serum, with brightening ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Licorice Root.

I’m on day 7 of an upper respiratory sinus/cold thing and the Prequel Barrier Therapy saved my skin. I’ve been using it several times a day just to soothe my face and I’ve been able to maintain an even skin tone with little redness and flakiness around my nose. As a bonus, my hands have stayed soft and moisturized through frequent washing.

Amlactin is such a game changer! My skin is no longer crapey!!!

I have been using Rx tretinoin for years and definitely see the benefits of glowing, plump, even toned skin. I absolutely love Lucent C. I've used so many of the highly recommended vitamin C products on the market e.g. Skinceuticals, Drunk Elephant, Revision, Naturium, DRMTGLY, etc. and I 100% agree w/ Dr. Ellis that the Lucent C is the best of the best - from the pump packaging, the formulation, and the price - it is so elegant and a pleasure to use. Thank you so much Dr. Ellis for creating such an amazing product at an affordable price. I also love the gleanser, the hypochlorous acid spray and the SPF from Prequel.

I love Japanese and Korean sunscreens, I liked both the purito and BoJ ones. I also loved the SKIN1004, Anua heartleaf, Haru Haru and Scinic sunscreens too.

[gabrieldeleon]

Tretinoin and sunscreen have done wonders for my skin already, and I’m about to add your lucent-c to my morning routine & I’m so excited for it to come in!

I have used Alpha Skin Care for years. Im 55 and it helps keep my skin smooth and even toned

[skincarelover]

Your vitamin c is the best!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 and very affordable ☺️

I would love a video on common skin texture issues on older adults.

[natashao]

I like that you included the prices of the products. Keep up the good work

@ Dr. Sam Ellis - You need to disclose that you have done and continue to be on the Naturium Advisory Board!!! Or any product you review that you have provided processional services to develop, excluding your own brand of course. Full and transparent disclosure on specific brands and products you promote. It is 2024, we know better and don't want to be held liable.

I love Naturium! Their affordable but well formulated products have replaced a lot of my more expensive skincare. The Niacinimide and zinc serum eliminated rough texture on my cheeks that has been there my whole life. Amazing.

Dr. Ellis, thank you for helping me break my YouTube beauty channel obsession. I am a clean living kind of gal. I resorted to YouTube looking for help a month or two ago in healing my dry eyelid skin. Along the way I got seduced into the consumerism model of caring for my skin. After viewing multiple videos of derm channels on YouTube, I settled on yours as the one that spoke most closely to my way of living. I spent many hours of the past month looking for the best skincare for my "needs". I was sold on the idea that at 61 y.o., the skin care routine that has worked perfectly for me over the past 5+ years needed enhancing because I have mature skin.

After experiencing tremendous pain as a teen suffering from teenage acne, early on I made a vow to myself to never put my skin through the trauma of skincare products again. It was when I heard you, the YouTube derm who I trusted the most say, "No pain, no gain", I found reason to close the door on YouTube skincare consumerism. Thank you for helping me find my exit! And my return to self.

I've been loving your products from Prequel ! The "Gleanser" has been so amazing and moisturizing while washing my face & the vitamin C! I also love Naturium Retinaldehyde & their 2% BHA liquid exfoliant !

[laurelann]

I love your vitamin c, your moisturizer and the Gleanser. Thanks for such an informative video!!

My current anti-aging favorite is the A-Game-5 Retinal from Geek & Gorgeous. My sensitive skin likes it more than Naturium, and I can feel my texture improving, and haven't gotten any new wrinkles or fine lines.
