Im in love with your Maelove peptid serum suggestion. It has changed my skin. How do i layer vitamin c and peptid serum? C first then peptids?

[glitchessence]

If you have oily skin you can (and probably should) apply to damp skin because it will be much easier to apply and more effective! ❤

[allaborik]

THank you for your videos. Would like to know the routine of using Dermelect for upper lip. Should you apply serum before or moisturizer after?
Also would appreciate detailed routine for aged skin.

What are the best affordable makeup removers and cleansers?

[MD-hviu]

Do we rub it in like a moisturizer or just spread it over the face? I use adapalene.

[catboxcleaner]

Dr. Maren, Is it safe to use retinoids/tretinoin in summer months if I will be out in the sun gardening, walking, etc, or should they be postponed until cooler months? Also, which is more aggressive, Retinoids or tretinoin? Thank you, Dawn

[elsatamegao]

Hello Dr. Locke! As always, loved the video! I would love to see one on a skin pampering session. I know the most important thing is to have an effective skincare routine all year round, using the right actives every day. But sometimes the skin needs a little extra TLC for an important event, and lately I'm at a loss... And there's the relaxing aspect of it too, right? Any tips for us? Thank you!

[eefoiig]

Would you review the brand Good Molecules. The price point is great but wonder if quality is good. Thank you.

[littlewinglevity]

Can you please give an example of a day and night routine combining the most well known products recommended by dermatologists? It gets confusing at some point.
I'm 35, I have normaI to dry skin that tolerates most everything I use with not many problems since I started to take care of my face when I was 30.
I currently wash my face (without soap), put on Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Snail 96, Azelaic Acid, and of course Sunscreen every 2 hours.
At night I double cleans, Tretinoin, Vichy 89, Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, a Moisturizer, and Vaseline where it's needed.
After so many years of slowly perfecting my routine, I'm still not fully sure if I'm doing it right, and how and where to incorporate Ceramide, colllagen Peptides, and Glycolic Acid. But I am sure there are a lot of people like me who are a bit confused with all these magic potions 😆 Please help us ❤

[bettytolliver]

I am 76 years old and the skin on my arms (batwings) hands & legs. Is there any treatment for my skin.

[sharonscott]

Can you please tell me am I better to later with Tretinoin: Tranexamic acid and Alpha Arbutin OR Timeless Q10 and Paula’s choice peptide booster at night? Thank you

[db-gbxi]

The Ordinary has a sacchromyces ferment toner that they say is for gentle exfoliation. Have you tried it or will you try it? They also have a retinal serum.

[sharonscott]

Can you use Tretinoin, Alpha Arbutin, Tranexamic acid in the same routine at night please?

[kristinhallal]

Is it okay to layer a peptide serum or niacinamide on top of the retinoid?

[jilliansmith]

I stayed out with .05 and worked so good.. I did find I can't use niacinamide and that's in everything! It causes itchy pustuals. Once I stopped all niacinamide products my skin cleared right up. I had to give up all my La roche Posay products. :(
