Alpha Skin Care used to be named/branded "Alpha Hydroxy" back when it launched in the early 1990's and was considered a revolution in the skin care industry due to its use of acids. It was then, and still is now, one of the best brands I've ever used. Effective and affordable stands the test of time and my skin is better off for because of it.

I love it when you show an image the products you are talking about. It saves us from pausing the video and google the products. Thank you!

Off topic, but my slightly rosacea-prone skin had been getting worse this past month of WFH. I went back to Dr. Dray's rosacea videos, started using the Abolene and Cerave Hydrating cleanser, Bioderma AR creme, Neutrogena Hydraboost Extra-Dry, then Cetaphil and Vanicream sunscreen and Vanicream lip sunscreen. Suffice to say, her advice and product recommendations have made an huge improvement! Thanks, Dr. Dray.

I wish I found your channel before I gave myself a 50% glycolic acid gel peel, I got a horrible chemical burn on my entire face, then got a horrible infection, ended with sepsis, I was in the hospital for 5 days because of a face peel I did your channel I have learned a lot.

Renewal Body Lotion with 12% AHA is wonderful!!! $16.99 for 12 oz is a great price point. I use it on my face and body. Ordered straight from Neoteric Cosmetics, they offer free shipping.

Thank you so much for talking about over-exfoliating. When my mother was young she over did it and it damaged her skin badly for decades.

I'm glad you mentioned sensitivity to some of these acids because I never thought I had sensitive skin until I used the Alpha 12% cream on my face and it STUNG like the dickens! I couldn't get it off fast enough! Oddly enough, it doesn't bother my neck (just using it once or twice a week there) so that's how I'm using it up but I won't be repurchasing! Instead, I've been using the Ordinary's 7% AHA toner every other night alternating with my tretinoin, as you're suggesting. Great, helpful video. xoxo

Please do a video for neck care it would be interesting cause most of the times it gets neglected

I watched your KP video a year ago and I’ve seen so much improvement on my arms ! It’s so much better now 🥰 I’ve been using a BHA cleanser and alpha care lotion every day. Thanks Dr. Dray ✨

[leander]

I have never been this early ♡ thanks for beeing such a much needed distraction while informing us with important information! Happy Friday!

[franceskennedy]

Happy Friday! I’ve been using the Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion, 12% Glycolic AHA on my “mature” skin. It’s fabulous. My skin is truly hydrated and smooth. I purchased on Amazon.

Cerave SA renewing cleanser has both pha and bha... love it. Started using it thanks to you, Dr. Dray. 👍🏼

[susanalanosa]

I’ve been using Adapalene at night and Paula’s Choice liquid BHA in the morning as you suggest and it’s been working brilliantly! Thank you 😊

I would love to see a dedicated video to reviewing "zero waste" or "low waste" products

[valeriaangelova]

I just started using the Paula's Choice and it is absolutely amazing. It does give an itchy feeling but only after moisturization. Next time I will need to flip the steps as Dr. Dray recommended.

[Mylifeinspainover]

Oh fantastic I'm literally studying skin types right now. Thank you so much ❤️

[pearlsglimmers]

I love alpha skincare ! Their products are amazing !

[JodyK]

Neoteric Cosmetics makes the Alpha Skin Care products line. I also love their retinol cream that I use under moisturizer at night. Great products which are priced very affordable. They have been around for many years, so I trust them.
