I mean you have no clue how essential you are to all of us. Thanks for the Pro Bono work literally. There's a shortage of black dematologists out there and thanks for your knowledge and generosity 💕

[camcordervisuals]

I put together a routine based off the information from this video. It’s only been 2 weeks and people are already telling me it looks like I have a new glow or something. Thanks Doc ❤️

[kimpossible]

You should start virtual appointments!

[Kaiwo]

I built a skincare routine based off of these tips, and I must say THANK YOU! In just a few days, I already see a huge difference with moisturized and properly protected skin.

[DefinedByAlex]

I cannot believe I’m just now finding your channel!!! I’m taking notes & just feel like crying bc I don’t have any black doctors around me at all so I’m so thankful for you

[moisdawg]

Thanks for including sensitive skin with your tips. Your video made me realize I need to make better decisions on when to stop using a product. It's frustrating when even a basic moisturizer makes me feel a little (or a lot) of burning and stinging.

[susanmcf]

I enjoy Paula's Choice Omega moisturizer. It lasts all night and has improved my skin. However, until watching this video, I hadn't realized how good omegas are for hyperpigmentation! Thank you.

[kendallstark]

I use the Cerave moisturizing lotion in the morning, before sunscreen. I even use 2 or even 3 layers of it, depending on how thirsty my skin feels. Then I have breakfast, and about half an hour after that I'll put on my sunscreen.

[eobrien]

The Differin Restorative Night moisturizer is also a great one for dry/normal skin types that has omegas. It has sunflower seed oil, niacinamide, Allantoin, & licorice root, and ceramides. I do not know how they packed all these incredible things into such a cosmetically elegant formula, but my hats are off to them! Imo, it’s light but moisturizing like CeraPM, but way better. The texture is so much more pleasant to me.

[sylviasid]

I would give this video 1000 thumbs up if I could. Thank you so much, this was exactly the direct and clear guidance I was looking for!

[loudmusic]

Can you please do a video on skin cycling?? It’s been trending and really want to listen to your opinions and recommendations! Thanks so much for being so informative! You’re literally my favorite skincare guru.

[Banana]

I use a milk wipeoff cleanser morning /night, I only use water with a facewash twice a week.I've dry sensitive mild rosacea skin and that works for me!

[ashleighmihalko]

Thank you for giving the “Okay!” On moisturizing sunscreen!! I LOVE Cerave am and have been using it for years, but I’ve been hearing a lot of fear mongering on moisturizing sunscreens lately to say they aren’t as effective as a standalone sunscreen so a literally bought one recently because of this >.<

[marstomajormiracle]

I swear I literally don’t know what I would do without you, Doc! Love you!!! 🥺🥰🤎

[ambsuchadiva]

Good morning! Lately I’ve been thinking about creating my routines so your video was right on time! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the link with your favorite products! Keep inspiring!✨

[chinenyeeze]

Wow, I've been oily skin for the longet, and use oily skin products, but lately my skin has been drying out, and I wasn't sure what was going on. I just did the test and found out I'm currently normal skin, no now I have to change all my skin care products, omg, thank you Dr Alexis

[smyrie]

Wow, you have no idea how much I appreciate this and your channel overall. Thank you for listening to us and making this video. I appreciate this so ♥️

[jessicarodriguez]

I just was talking about this this morning as I was doing my routine simplicity will always be effective

Just cleanse

Viramin C serum

Light moisturizer

And don’t forget your sunscreen and to reapply every two hours the mornings are all about protection

[missceecee]

So much great information… for free! Thank you so much. I’ve been to so many dermatologists to treat my aging, acne prone, oily skin that just happens to have hyperpigmentation. Nothing seems to work since many doctors try selling you their products that are grossly overpriced, yet do nothing to improve the health of my skin. Fingers crossed, I’m going to follow your recommendations in this video and update a few products in my morning and night time routine. 🙏🏽💕

😘

you make me so, so proud to be a black woman.
