I recently saw someone replace “anti-aging” with “well-aging” and i thought that was really nice ◡̈

[gabszee]

I propose substituting”anti-aging” with something like “youth-sustaining”!

As a night owl, I'm like how can she be so perky at 6am? Always look forward to your Saturday videos. It's like hanging out with my girlfriend or my sister but with skin knowledge thrown in. Best wishes for good skin, good health, and much laughter in this coming year to everyone reading this.

Anyone else wants a Part 2 on the many types of Vitamin Cs and what's good for what? The AHA and BHA world is also a mystery to me!

I think the whole idea of using vitamin c in the morning comes from it helping it boost the efficacy of your sunscreen

[anisamohammed]

I love how she is explaining EVERYTHING most derms use these terms and i have no idea what they mean i love that she does this please keep it up!!

[plantbasedhotdog]

Out of the 6 social media dermatologists I’ve been following, your videos and explanations are by far the most comprehensive. You are my go to!

Vitamin C is one of my most effective ingredients. I don't have dull skin or pigmentation (or many wrinkles), but I notice a definite improvement with C. I only use it in the morning, evenings are for relinal and peptides. This routine works for me.

I get the C serum from Geek & Gorgeous, and have no problems with it going bad. Here's how I manage it.

G&G sells an empty tiny dropper bottle labeled for the C serum. I bought one. My large bottle lives in its box in my refrigerator ... every few weeks I put some (maybe 1/2 the small bottle) into the small bottle and put that in my bathroom cabinet for daily use. The big bottle gets closed tightly, put back in the box (dark), and back in the refrigerator.

I had a health issue last year that completely derailed my skin care routine ... the C in the small bottle went bad, but the big bottle was clear and fresh, right up to the end.

How tf can someone look that good at 6am? 😩

[theveryfirstlostgirl]

I’ve been binge-watching your videos, and I’d like to propose “aging support”
as an alternative for “anti-aging”. The meaning is obvious so it doesn’t require additional explanation, and it still twigs the keyword “aging” for searches and title recognition, but it’s positive!

Also as a Scorpio, can confirm 😅😂

[simplytitanium]

as a scorpio woman, being compared to L-Ascorbic Acid is one of the best compliments ive ever gotten 🥰🤣

[karlaorourke]

I'm so, so glad to be part of this community. Thank you, doctor, for sharing all your expert knowledge with us with none of the bull shit! I appreciate you ❤.

[Ana-dufe]

So refreshing to find someone this knowledgeable and honest. Too many "skinfluencers" fail to mention the procedures they've undergone and use their enhanced appearance to exaggerate the effects of sponsored products or products of brands they want to work with.

[Asaadhiba]

Hey Doc, can you please do a video about which products to use/not use in the morning and which products to use/not use at night. Kind of Do’s and Don’ts for AM & PM

[claudiayanirarojas]

Doc can you do a video on all the brightening ingredients we need in our routines Thank you so much, I’am now the biggest skin nerd because of your videos❤

[flyrick]

Hello Dr. Shereene, I’m only me in the channel and already obsessed with your videos. I’m a guy who lives in wet and cold Ireland. Could you please ( if possible) make a video about men skincare? I’m 47 yo and not sure whether to but skincare “for men” or not. Thanks so much and well done for the brilliant job! 😄

[gmjo]

Please recap what to use before and after Vitamin C again. Thanks

[birdie]

Her skin is flawless! What a natural beauty! ✨

[saltorellaa]

Since I discovered your channel I have been binge watching your videos. Being a family physician myself, your videos allowed me to help my patients.
And now I am more careful in choosing my products. Thanks a lot
