As time went on, my face lost its glow, acquired dark spots and blemishes that appeared to multiply despite my efforts with various skincare routines.
After researching a lot, I finally got litttleextra rice berry face serum and began applying it beneath my sunscreen. Weeks passed, and the serum started to work its magic. The spots slowly faded away, showing a smooth and more even-toned complexion.
Apart from this, I began cleaning my face thrice a day. Next, I started drinking about six glasses of water daily. I made an effort to eat less junk food, and I started engaging in physical activities to I could have a wonderful sweat on my face. All this worked, and I got a nice glow on my face.

My 65 year old mom has been tanning her whole life. Not using sunscreen lots. It’s amazing she doesn’t have worse skin but she did ask me what to do about her pigmentation on her cheeks. So I can now give her even more tips. Thank your Dr!
As always. Obsessed with your channel. You’ve helped me so much! ♥️

I love my Korean sunscreens. They are cosmetically elegant, don’t burn my eyes and have superior new ingredients that can’t get approval here. These are used in Europe, Korea and Australia. Come on FDA get some new laws on your books and welcome in the 21st century!!

[hannah]

I really need this! ❤️I feel like I’ve been going around in circles. I get a blemish/dark spot, treat it, then get another blemish/dark spot and treat it. The cycle continues!! 😭

I’m just diving in the beautiful sea of knowledge I have found in your channel!

[alliehamilton-calhoun]

I've had both melasma on my cheeks and kp on my arms all my life. The mean remarks about my chicken skin and Summer mustache are something I've had to prepare myself for with dread every year. I don't have the money to visit a dermatologist, so I really appreciate your videos! Et j'aime que vous parlez français!

[ihuomaotika]

Thank you Dr Idris for setting me up with hydroquinone, and all your skintips, it has really helped with my hyperpigmentation 🥺🥺

[heatherriley]

I need this! Thank you!

EDIT: I have been prescribed 8% hydroquinone by my dermatologist. With the other products you recommended to help hyperpigmentation, could you next touch on, or write a blog for Pillowtalk Derm, that says which ingredients you can and can't use with hydroquinone during the same application?

[bonniekobilansky]

Please do a video with a sample weekly and daily routine. Knowing about all these products is great, but how to actually use them in a routine would be be extremely useful.

[marskid]

Thank you so much for the video! Hyperpigmention is a bane of mine. VIDEO REQUEST: Corners of mouth. how to deal with pigmentation (after angular chelitis) and how to deal with corners starting to fold/droop?

[mcaoe]

Love your natural, unedited, unfiltered videos and authentic content. Please keep it coming

I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and wanted to see you to treat my stretch marks after I gave birth as I remember you saying in a youtube short that with stretch marks it's a marathon. I called your office but they said that I wouldn't be able to do any of the lasers if I'm planning to breastfeed and that you're also booked till Feb 2023 😐

Ambi has made a world of difference for my spots when I use it as a spot treatment. I dab it on the spots that are darker and create a sort of dot mask on my face and leave it on for like 5 minutes then I rub them in, let it absorb and then slather on that sunscreen. I use it on and off and it has been a game changer for me for sure

[arloarellano]

Yesss! The beauty of Joseon Sunscreen, you finally used it. So much love for that sunscreen! I even purchased 3 tubes bec I tried one bottle and I emptied it for 2 mos only. It's a sunscreen and a moisturizer for me which helps me on the process of trimming or simplifying my skincare. It really surpass the expensive sunscreens out in the market with the same result or even better. It's truly worth the hype!

[monicahale]

Maybe you could put the proper routine/order of products using retinoids and hydroquinone in a short??? Would so appreciate it.🙏🌈
