My Sensitive Skin Nighttime Skincare Routine as a Dermatologist | Dr. Sam Ellis

As a practicing dermatologist my nighttime skincare routine changes all the time. I am constantly trying new skincare products and new innovations and because of that my sensitive skincare routine is always evolving. I thought I would give you a sneak peek into a routine that really works for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin.

Yes please. I would really appreciate a Prequel-Only night time routine as I find Prequel addresses my sensitive 69 year old skin best. Thank you.

[AnneofSD]

Prequel Routine for Rosecea. I have quite a few of your products and they have truly been life changing for me *and* for my family. Thank you!!!! <3 your

[davidaomene]

Yes! Absolutely interested in Prequel themed skin care routines. 👍 Especially for various weather climates.

[dawnsturman]

I am 64 years old, live in a dry climate, and have rosacea. I would like to see Prequel am and pm routines. I use several of your products and find them soothing and at an affordable price point for this retired teacher. Thanks so much for your channel!

[jillcooper]

Prequel only nighttime skincare routine sometime, please and thank you!

[jackiaddington]

Only Prequel routines?!? Yes I love all your products so far. Just need help building routines. ❤❤❤

[ailyn]

Yes, would love a video on all the prequel products and how to use them in daily routines. Thank you!

[gabrielamacancela]

Yes please Prequel nighttime routine for rosacea and for uneven skintone, thanks

[SaraAshley]

I am someone who has allergic skin. It’s not uncommon for my neck to turn bright red if I put something on my face. Or my eyes to swell. Aveeno Calm and Restore serum is a good one. Eucerin Q10 anti wrinkle cream is thick and doesn’t cause breakouts. Super amazing for dry sensitive skin.

[leanneeggenberger]

Hi Dr. Ellis! I just got your vitamin C and Multi Quench serums and love them! I usually get irritated and itchy from vit. C's..but this one does not do that. Can't wait to try more of your products 🙌💜

[maggiebar]

Dr. Ellis what do you use to keep your teeth so white and bright? Maybe a little video on products and procedures for your teeth please and thank you

[seechangenyc]

Yes, please, an evening Prequel routine for dry, sensitive, aging skin. 65 years old, very clear skin. I find it’s changing and what it liked, it doesn’t. Skin texture is weird, dullness, sometimes red areas….needs more/different…maybe an active….i currently use Vanicream gentle cleanser and cream + a retinol, which I have used forever. I’m even having trouble with my oil cleanser which seems to be causing breakouts, which I never get. I do have a fantastic water-resistant sunscreen (from Europe and the only one I don’t break out from). Curious why you didn’t use your cleanser….

[LoversLane]

It took me to realize i could not tolerate niacinamide. If anyone is struggling with “gentle labeled” products and still sensitive to them and flaky, try to eliminate niacinamide and see if it helps!

[heathergasol]

I thought I had rosacea so I made an appointment to see a Dermatologist. She thought I just had extremely sensitive skin not rosacea. I’m 61, have menopausal very dry, sensitive skin. I would love to use some form of Vitamin A but I find it’s almost impossible to use on my cheeks but I’m able to use on my forehead only. Your Prequel Gleanser is now my favorite cleanser. I have purchased 6 bottles & I use it not only on my face but all over my body as well. Thank you for making it fragrance-free! I would love to see a Prequel skin care routine. Thank you so much.

[kellycolig]

Yes please do a prequel only routine! I have almost every one of your products.

As a cheap queen, Medik8’ s retinaldehyde (currently using Crystal 20, maximum strength) is the very first product in my life that has made me -spend- invest a mini fortune payed with pleasure and a smile. After fighting acne and scars for almost two decades (it includes ilostcount isotret courses and laser sessions) you don' t want to loose your deserved achieved dolphin skin. I still struggle with the Cinderella SPM Syndrome (Somebody Pinch Me, this skin cannot be real🤯, cannot be MINE😍, tomorrow the carriage will be a pumking again...). Shoes, bras, skin + hair products must prove me that they are beyond worth their price. And Medik8 did it. Meanwhile, my fav matte red lip ever is 4'50€ and my holy grial brow pencil is 2'50€ and, at 50 yo, I can' t remember a day in my life without brows + lips.
Many many thanks for becoming a guinea pig for us. Nothing equals a pro explanation + demonstration🧛🏻‍♀️🖤🖤🖤

[Batty]

At 66 years old, your brand, Prequel addresses my sensitive skin better than ANYTHING I have tried over the counter or so called "medical grade". Thankyou for the gentle ingredients!

[cindiclark]

Oh yes please! A whole day and night simple Prequel routine wld be great! Also, your thoughts on Allies of Skin Multi Peptides and GF Advanced Lifting Serum. Skin care lover too! Thank you!!

[violetamayer]

I have Rosacea and messed up my skin barrier a while back. I've learned a lot since then, and it's so much better now. Because of your recommendation, I started using Stratia Night Shift Retinol. I used it once a week for a month with no problem. I just started twice a week. I'm hoping it will not aggravate my skin. Thanks 😊

[janetg]

Your videos are always informative and enjoyable to watch. Would you consider doing a video about eczema? It’s causes and treatments? I’d really appreciate that. Thank you.
