I have watched so many videos on retinoids to understand the difference in strengths - this video finally made it click in how you describe how many steps it needs to go through in addition to the percentage listed to get to the strongest form. THANK YOU!

Vitamin C serum during the day and using Retinol at night was a game changer for me. Been doing this for over 6 months and my skin looks healthy. Oh and sunscreen too helped a lot!

Your skin is so beautiful. When you said you had eczema/dry skin, my brain went "Girl! stop lyin'!" LOL But fr, its reassuring because your skin is a testament to your knowledge. I'm a pre-med student (and black woman) who is applying in the spring and is thinking about derm and seeing your videos the past couple weeks have been so encouraging to me :)

Roc has been on the market for years, and Oil of "Olay" has been the market for decades. I remember when I was a little girl, my mother saw Oil of Olay on a commercial then ran out and bought it. She still uses it today.

I am back on track with correcting my hyperpigmentation. Remember consistency is key.

Growing up with a single dad meant all of my learning about beauty/beauty products came through trial and error. Not knowing anything about retinol always made me shy away from using it out of fear. That's why I am so grateful for your content! It really provides clear information not just about using certain products but about the basics of stewarding your beauty well. Thanks so much Dr. Stephens!

I accidentally came across this video upload doing some research on my rosacea diagnosis, I can't remember what type. I have pustules, blotches, dark red skin colour on my light skin face. The sun, sweat, heat, dirt, sugar, spices seem to inflame my face more. People stare&ask What am I suffering from? I feel better right now looking& listening to this beautiful&educated, accomplished QUEEN!!! 👑 I AM A MAN&I AM ATTRACTED TO BLACK WOMEN JUST LIKE THIS WOMAN...FYI I AM A LIGHT SKIN MEXICAN NATIONAL WITH LIGHT RED/DARK BROWN/GREY COLOURED HAIR 😂🎉...THANK YOU 🙏 I am your new subscriber to your YouTube channel...I look forward to hearing from you 🙏 With my up most respect&kind regards, Have a beautiful holiday& night's rest😂 Sincerely, Señor Jaimé Álvarez MÉXICO 🎉

I wish your practice was here in Toronto. It’s hard to find a derma of colour who understands hyperpigmentation and even harder to find one who can break down things like retinol so simplistically. I always look forward to your videos

[EnchantedStringsToronto]

I wanted to be a dermatologist when I was in high school. I didn't choose that career path because of how expensive schooling was. I REGRET! Dr. Alexis is so inspirational 🥰🎉

[MBx]

So thankful to have someone who actually looks like me sharing quality ingredients.

Thank you so much for literally gracing youtube with your professional presence! I would love to have a video about ACNE SCARRING and how to defeat it. I'm 19 and went through a really bad picking/popping pimple phase throughout my adolescence and now suffer with acne scars & marks. Thank you Dr!

I started using adapalene a few years ago for cystic acne that I’d never dealt with before. I continue to use it because it’s also improved my skin’s texture and eased fine lines. I know adapalene doesn’t have the same kind of research behind it as tretinoin for those uses, but it definitely works.

Your voice is so soothing! I don’t know if anyone has ever told you that!! thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, truly helping people around the world. 💜
