At age 60, I just started using Cera Ve Vitamin C Serum. I would like to see you talk on a segment about skin over 60 and what we should be doing at our age in particular. Love watching you, Dr. Shereene!

Timeless is my fave Vitamin C because it has E and ferulic acid like Skinceuticals BUT the packaging of Timeless is FAR better with its opaque container and pump top. Plus, Timeless has a 10% vitamin C version that I was able to start with so I could get my skin used to it before stepping up to 20%. Finally, Timeless price cannot be beat!

This was great information and so helpful to me! As always, my Saturday is not complete without your engaging and fun video! Thank you!!! ❤️

59 y.o. fair, sensitive soul here… I love the combo of Vanicream Vitamin C Serum + Pipette Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. Both are fragrance free for the win!

Dr Sherreen, most likely I’m one of not so many men that has subscribed and have watched many of your detailed talks. It’s astounding how many skin care products there are now. I had bad acne way back when there was basically only Clearasil & Retin A. As many know bad acne is most / very often hereditary. My daughters have acne .. somewhat less severe. Both have tried so / too many products and your info really helps a lot to figure out which ones might help them.

Thanks for the awesome video, Dr Idriss! Fave Vitamin C serums are La Roche-Posay's Vitamin C (which comes with salicylic acid too) and Maelove's Glowmaker 🥰

We really need a pillow talkderm cleanser and an eye cream, and then II can finally clear out everything else cluttering my sink. Absolutely loving using the pillow talk derm trio. And also you’re wearing my favorite necklace 😊 I ‘ve been looking for something similar.

You're amazing, thank you for making these videos, I am clueless when it comes to my skin even tho i have been listening to "experts" for a while now, you really make the pieces click when you talk about how different skin types react to things. Again, THANK YOU so much!

[MrLaugh-react]

First Dr dray and second doctor Shereen omg these two both are perfect dermatologist for me I love u Both

[yiotamintzas]

Hi Dr shereene, I absolutely love your videos, exciting and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this information, and making things clear to us all. X

Started using Perricone MD Vitamin C serum every morning under my sunblock. My skin seems to love the combination so far.

[monikawatkins]

Out of many, many vit c serums I’ve tried, I finally fell in love with Geek & Gorgeous vit c. For some reason, this is the only one that does not irritate my sensitive, rosacea ridden skin. Highly recommend, and cheap !!!

Timeless 20%. I get the 4oz bottle when they have their 40% off during the holidays and it lasts almost a year with no oxidation. I keep it in my skincare fridge and I’ve never had an issue.

Ah, I love retinol and salicylic acid! I stumbled upon this beautiful combination recently and it has transformed my skin. No more acne! I have very sensitive skin so I am very basic with my skincare routine. The only topical active I used was retinol. I have been on sipronolactone for 6 months and it has produced tolerable results. Definite control of my cystic acne but I continued to have 2 cystic acne pimples at a time. This combination completely changed that 🙌🏼🙌🏼. I have very sensitive skin but after 2 years on retinol and 6 months on Spironolactone and after watching your videos on SA I added it to my routine. I am seriously obsessed with my skin now! It is acne free and SO healthy! Thank you for all of your evidence-based education! Your personality and delivery are 👌🏼👌🏼 and your evidenced-based content is what social media needs!

You are hilarious! Do you have a simple skin care routine for 60 year Olds? Appreciate it

[erfanatasharoslan]

I reaaally appreciate this topic. My routine is, tonight i use The Ordinary 7% glycolic acid, tomorrow night i use Paula' Choice 2% Salacylic acid, and the day after tomorrow i use retinol. It works for my skin. Thank you for much Dr. Shereene for making dermatology advice accessible to everyone

I have very normal skin with only few melasma spots round my pores in the upper cheek area. I've been using Garnier Vitamic C Express Clarant Serum and cream (the name could vary in the US, not sure) and even when it's a "cheap" product, I haven't seen my face clearer & lighter like I do now ever before. Dr. Idriss is my all time fav Derm Dr. She's a rock star 💖💖💖
