I like these single skin care ingredient videos a lot.

[dianamccarthy]

Thank you for focusing on the less sexy and actually active ingredients that ppl can get at affordable prices. As a pharmacist, I have patients asking all the time for recommendations and I like giving them options for whole body care!

[LiahYoo]

Thanks for highlighting one of the most underrated ingredients! I so happen to LOVE urea and other NMFs <3

[MademoiselleCarel]

Most skincare geeks only talk about face skin products all the time but you, I love how you also educate people on how to take good care the skin all over the body! This is why I love you so much!!

[girlypanache]

Dr. Dray: "Before we get in to the products, let's talk about ingredients to look for..."

Me: "Let's be real. I'm going to buy whatever you tell me to buy."

Lol!

[mizpah]

Eucerin is such an underrated brand. I love the 5% urea skin replenishing night cream and the skin replenishing cream in the pot for general use on dry and scaly patches (I even use this on my face). I bought a few things from the range from Feel Unique here in the UK and got a great Black Friday discount. Thanks Dr. Dray, you are brilliant as usual. Many of us appreciate you!

[jackielee]

I just want to tell you that your videos have improved not only my skin but my life. I’m not one to get mushy but I really appreciate the way you scientifically explain skincare. I had bad adult acne for the last five years. I tried all the wrong solutions which left me feeling hopeless. I watched your videos and you educated me. My skin is finally consistently clear! Thank you so much!

[mayrawellington]

I love that you focus 100% on scientifically based information. I have learned so much from you Dr. Dray. I can’t thank you enough for teaching us so much!
You are so wonderful!!😘❤️🌹🌷🌹❤️🤗

[jaclynlozano]

I love when you make videos on ingredients I learn so much thank you 😊

[svalentina]

Dr Dray, I'm a pharmacist and I didn't know how wonderful urea is in skincare! Watching your channel is teaching me a lot - it's not only improving my personal skincare quest, but it's also helping me make better recommendations at work. Thank you so much!

[adoxartist]

Thank you! I'm a very, very fair skinned redhead with a multitude of skin problems. The more fundamental, the more simple, the more basic I can get with my skincare, the better my skin. 💛

[janem.]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so generous with your time. There are thousands like me that truly appreciate you!

[markjanssens]

Kerasal foot ointment is the best foot cream I've ever used. I look like I've had a weekly pedicure as long as I keep using it. It's as close to a "miracle" skin care product as you can get

[rachidb]

Hi Andrea, I am always astonished how well you are organised and can do all these researches every day, making a video, editing it while still working and helping people, doing gym, meeting up with your mom, cooking...and all this in one single day...! i can barely do a single thing! How many hours do you sleep per day?

[larkabroad]

Where have you been all my life!? Seriously! You know ev-ery-thing! Thank you for helping us.

[reganraula]

It’s nice to be “sexy, ” but I would much rather be smart! I have had a dermatologist since my teen years, and while she is wonderful, there is a limit to how many questions I can ask. I can watch you for hours! Thank you for the information!
I would love to see more of your vegan recipes. I naturally like vegan food, but I am always hungry again within a couple hours. Also, sunscreen and skincare for those of us with extremely sensitive skin.
Also, your mom is adorable!!!!

[lindahunter]

I love how excited you get when talking about ingredients. You are one of the best on You Tube.

[tiffanyt]

I just love listening to your logic. You are literally my “cleanse the pallet” from listening to other YouTuber’s, or even the news. You can talk about anything, I don’t even care what the topic is because you value truth, detail, facts, logic 👻 and results. If it’s coming out of your mouth, it is of high value information. So refreshing!

[juliesharpe]

Eucerin has literally transformed my skin❤️
My favorite moisturizer! Thanks for explaining the details on the magic behind the scenes 😍

[greeneyedleopardes]

I have dry skin in the winter and my husband is prediabitic I am adding this video to my favorites for the list. I am doing well with with just the double cleans method at night and moisturize from straight out of the shower. That is self has helped my skin stay pretty "hydrated". I didn't realize this but your page became my unintentional New Years resolution. Revamping my skin care and not wasting my money on expensive "sexy" stuff and using sun screen daily.

I am wearing make up less frequently now but still have fun on the weekends with it. I also do cosplay a few times a year at conventions so I am using my weekend make up sessions as a trial and error for the best way to apply sunscreen and make up. I have used an tinted sunscreen that actually make and amazing foundation with me I only need an under eye concealer because the one awful blemish I have is dark circles in my under eyes. Your use of mineral oil is spot on make up remover and no more wipes except when traveling and that's only if I can't get s small sample sizes of the products I have for traveling. I might just use left over medicane bottles and put the oils and cleansers in. Thoughts on that?
