I have great luck with lots of your drugstore options. I'm still using the Vanicream Vitamin C you recommended. Ignore all the Negative Nancy comments. You do a great job!

[annette]

Can you do a segment on at home facials/body facials? Like what products to use if differs from your daily routine. And one about facial mask (sheets).

[jacquiposener]

I really appreciate your advice and have actually taken some of it!😊. What I would really like to know is about eye lids. I have droopy and crinkly lids. What can I use which will help lift and smooth. A video on this would be greatly appreciated as I know I’m not the only one with this problem. Thanks for all the great work you do.❤

[jeannejones]

Yes Marion you do an excellent job keeping us informed! You’re beautiful inside and out! 💐

I use the Boots No 7 eye cream.. amazing products from an English company founded over 100 years ago

The Mae Love vitamin C is phenomenal it’s the only skin care of all that I’ve used that when I wear it people notice and comment how great my skin looks. Every time. Even at the med spa.

[maeveryan]

Would you consider reviewing Geek & Gorgeous products? I am liking what I have used so far from them.

[yvettegarza]

I have dry skin and forehead wrinkles. What moisturizer would you recommend for aging skin?

[stevo]

Great video, Doc. At 60, keeping on a routine as you nicely point out, is very important and these products don't break the bank.

[tquirkyt]

✨Loving the new REMEDY fade combo…my new holy grail‼️

[lesann]

Can you recommend affordable moisturizing makeup removal ( especially eye ) What about Abilene? And what about puffy eye treatments?

[lovewithsomeseasoning]

Like one video focusing on vitamin c from tj max/Marshall's, and another video focusing on their retinol, and another video focusing on their collagen options and etc! Pretty please! 💙

[thealterego]

Dr. Locke, what about OTC adapalene for anti-aging? It is drug store priced, and wouldn't it be stronger than retinaldehyde?

[looovegoodmusic]

Thank you. I wonder how Medik8 eye compares to Avene? Thank you!

[kimmericle]

Thank you for all of your information. I am almost 60 and through your recommendations have started using Avene products. Especially the retinal.

Way back when I first started getting serious about skincare I used MD Forte because they had step-up products too. I had to stop at level 3 though because it was the highest level and it was too strong for my skin. I wish there were other, more affordable brands that do that. I would try the one you recommend but my medical bills have to take priority for the next several months. Thanks for sharing!!

[andreawitt]

Would love a video similar to this for skin care devices like the Ziip, Omnilux or Halo, which one is worth the splurge? Great video, thank you!

[Chris-kugz]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for today. Thanks for breaking it down and your honest opinions.

[sfp]

Love all this information! Can you a video on how to take care of milia on the upper lip please? Resulting from lip waxing.

[jaclarkfamily]

Love Avene and Maelove based on your recommendations. I'm also very happy with your L'Oreal glycolic acid cleanser in the mornings. I did splurge on Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial for nighttime moisturizer and it is heavenly!!
