Totally giggled at the eye cream conversation. "Nobody's perfect" LOL.

Where was this channel in my teenage years? 😇
just discovered it a couple mins ago and I'm already binge watching!

[tinafirouz]

I laughed out loud when you confessed your eye cream was revolutionizing your skin but you didn’t know which one, somehow this reminded me of myself too 😂 You two are so enjoyable to watch, I love skin care and learning about the science behind it, thanks for sharing!

One of the biggest problems I think most of us have run into with acne medication is giving up on it too soon. I remember buying a product with salicylic acid and after 2-3 days think “this stuff doesn’t work”. I didn’t give it a chance and had no idea it may require 6-8 weeks to see a real improvement. I’ve been on Retin-A for a few years now and it took 6 MONTHS before it cleared my skin and wasn’t all purging and peeling. At my age now I have patience and I realize changing the skin takes time. I have a daughter with acne now and something she understands now is that things take time. Her skin is mostly clear now but she was very patient and is now being rewarded for that patience.

These are all recommendations that I’ve given my patient/clients as an esthetician for 20 years. Great to see that I’m on the right track. I will pass these videos on to them.

I learned the hard way & now patch test EVERY new product, and I only introduce 1 new item, test it for 2 weeks, then consider it “ok” 🙂

Pleaase do a video about fine lines under the eyes, not only the causes but good ingredients to treat them 🥺

I love how positive you guys are! Very informative videos and enjoyable to watch! I am a nurse with acne but just realized how much I learned from about 10 of your videos already. Thank you for your work and time you invest in youtube!!

So I recently discovered your channel and I have watched all of your videos. As a doctor myself although not a dermatologist, I do appreciate good and clear content based on evidence. You are telling your viewers to not rely on anecdotes but on the scientific evidence, however most people do not have access to the evidence or do not know how to interpret the evidence so, even though your recommendation is a valid one, it is very hard to follow unless they ask a physician, which brings me back to my initial point of appreciating your channel. I hope you grow and become a point of reference for skin related issues or concerns in the social media world so people have a good source of information to replace all the useless and many times damaging information from the "influencers".

I definitely feel they are not just selling a Brand!! This is exactly what I'm looking for.. Most Dr.. My opinion... Are selling the Even if they admit they get reinbursed.. Then.. They are not really giving honest opinion..
Its for their pockets..

Hello Dr. ! Could you please make a video how to ged rid of the blackhead on nose! Thanks in advance! ❤

5:20 this is really true. I stick to the same routine ever since I first start using skincare on daily basis. In about 1 year when I visit my hometown, my friends told me that my skin looks so nice. Glowing, healthy, etc and they ask me what routine I follow.

I just remember how my skin looked before I really started to understand ingredients and actives and HOW I was taking care of my skin. I used to use harsh scrubs and didn’t moisturize because I was misinformed. I have oily, acne prone skin. So I thought drying it out and scrubbing it would help... when I stopped doing that I noticed a pretty fast improvement. THEN when I stopped being afraid of sunscreen I noticed my pores were noticeably less prominent and my redness and acne kind of just started to get better. And I just had a simple routine: cleanse and moisturize at night. Cleanse and moisturize and sunscreen in the am. And THEN I started adapalene... and man oh man my skin was SO smooth and clear. But then I got pregnant and had to stop lol. But goes to show it doesn’t take much to see results. Just a good, consistent but effective routine will change your life. (For most of us anyways. Some people need a little extra help from stronger actives and that’s okay too)

[jessmeredith]

Love how honest you both are. Very professional and learning so much from your tik tok videos and YouTube. 😌

Dr. Shah: Tip 1, don't use too many new products at the same time.
Me: 32 years old and just now starting a skincare routine, waiting on $200 worth of skincare products to oh boy

THE WAY THE CUT WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT “LARGER AND SMALLER FEATURES” KILLED ME.

[leoruiz]

I had reddish skin and crazy dry skin. Like flaky and itchy to the point of having cuts on my face especially around my eyes. I finally bought a skincare product and azelaic acid which I bought because of you, my skin has made a crazy improvement. No cuts, no dryness, no flakiness and the redness even came down like 70% and I've only use it for about 2 months.
IDK if it was the acid or actually having a true regimen of face wash/ hydration but my skin is fantastic after so many years and several Dr visits that didn't help.

So THANK YOU!

[roxannelessard]

Damn...my Doctors never looked like that!! 😁

[smolgirlbigworld]

You know someone’s a med student/doctor in training when they refer to facts as “high-yield” 😂

[WankiTank]

Dr Shah and Dr Maxfield spitting facts again. There are so many advertisements around about "bla bla effect within 24 hours" which sets so damn unrealistic expectations and makes people just buy and buy and buy because it doesn't miraculously doesn't solve their skin problem right away.

You guys are doing an absolutely fantastic job, with all those influences and wanna-be MUAs on YouTube that are getting rich off of advertising their sponsorships and holding 20 products into the camera with each video, educational channels like yours are desperately needed. Thank you for everything!
