If you’re starting on a topical retinoid or if you’re having trouble tolerating one, here are a few picks to help you tolerate your retinoid. I like key ingredients in my moisturizers including niacinamide, ceramides, Hyaluronic acid and squalane.

Hope this video helps!

What makes my skin radiant is the litttllextraa riceberry serum and face moisturizer cream set. I put it on every day, in the morning and evening, and it adds a glow and keeps my skin hydrated. It hasn't caused any breakouts and is non-greasy. This combination has faded my dark spots and reduced visible pigmentation in 2 months. Highly recommend it.

So great! We appreciate you highlighting our Vanicream™ Daily Facial Moisturizer!

Thanks for pointing out the clean/natural thing. The truth is that terms like medical-grade/clean/natural are not regulated terms. And yes, a lot of the clean/natural brands like to call their products "fragrance free" but that's only because they don't use synthetic fragrance but still insert essential oils, flower/fruit extracts, flower/fruit flowers or hydrosols.

Glad you mentioned Vanicream. I had a severe reaction to the retinol. So the doctor prescribed a one pound tub of vanicream. It pretty much worked overnight - after 3 days of dry, peeling, burnt skin.

Perfect video for what I need. Please release a different video about full skincare products to pair with Retinol (from cleansers to sunscreen) for Dry-Combination-Oily skin. Thanks !

I love Vanicream Daily Facial It's so underrated. Thanks for your videos!!!

You only had to say, "If you don't know me by now, I am an insanely handsome doctor who just showed up in your YT feed." Doc, I needed this exact video, went to Dr. Drays, and watched a few of hers, but she didn't really cover this in quite this way. Plus, she talks...a LOT:) Nice to meet you, Doc. P.S. no shade to Doc Dray, she is wicked smart.

Man I’m in my late 20s and I just never gave a damn about making my skin look better cuz I honestly never felt insecure about my skin problems. I just cleansed and moisturized and that’s it. I let my body do its thing. Plus I didn’t want to invest in a ton of skincare products because I just didn’t think it was worth it. But when I realized I’m almost 29, I had a change of heart. I decided that I needed to care more if I wanted to age gracefully. I needed to educate myself on skincare. I found this channel to be so informative and easy to comprehend. So I took the advice of Dr. Sugai and got on the retinol and Vitamin C and sunscreen bandwagon mostly from the CeraVe line. In just two weeks I noticed a difference for the better. I can’t believe it was so easy and I spent all my 20s with blackheads 😆 man I regret not starting sooner. I regret not investing in myself sooner. Teens, if you’re watching this channel, listen to Dr. Sugai! Start early and get into good habits. Your older selves will thank you!

I'm using the cicaplast baume B5 from La roche possay after applying retinol, so far no irritation or peeling at all, the price is affordable too.

I love the Cerave PM lotion. I’m on my 3rd bottle and it feels so good on the skin.

I use OTC retinol and learned about using the right moisturizer the hard way. One night I used Eucerin after my retinol and immediately felt the burn. Sure enough, I checked out the ingredients and that particular moisturizer had AHA in it. Lesson learned.
Thank you for all you do..

I just bought CeraVe PM Moisturizer before this video came out. Love from Philippines 🇵🇭

[michelletidler]

My daughter and I LOVE everything Vanicream. The only thing that is helping my issue on my legs.

[eddiehom]

1st! Thank you Dr. Sugai!!! Love the reviews they’re very helpful! Keep em coming!!!!

[ReigneOrShine]

Thank you Dr. Daniel! I am very new to my retinol journey. I just bought the Olay Retinol 24 night cream because I watched two of your videos discussing about it. And then this!! I was actually planning to buy the Cerave facial moisturizing lotion. Hopefully, I will see good results soon. 🙏🏽

[louel]

I really appreciate your content. I just bought my first retinol products today, and I'm excited 😁
It's such a shame so many things contain niacinamide. My skin burns and stings when I use anything with niacinamide in it. It's the only ingredient I have been sensitive to so far 🥴
Thank you so much for the niacinamide free options. I'm going to order kiehl

[sladyalways]

I use the Vanicream and the CereVe PM. Both work really well. Thanks for the information!

[tessaambler]

Hello Dr. Sugai and everyone, here I am again watching your video as always you shared very informative reviews. People are already making compliments on my skin and won’t believe how old I am, I just laugh and says, “it’s the Filipino bloodline combine with Spanish, American, Asian of all sorts” lol 😂 All the products in your shows I have tried and used but my most favorites are Oil of Olay 24 night moisturizer, CeraVe hydrating facial wash and all the serums you recommend. Thank so much Doc, love and hugs! 🙏❤️🤗

[bleighwal]

I use the CereVe PM lotion and Aveeno Calm and Restore Gel moisturizer - those are perfect for oily skin (lightweight, non greasy) and both work well all year round. Love them!!

Thank you so much for your honesty! and making things so simple!❤❤❤
