rating barrier creams Weleda Skin Food - I like the thick ointment-like texture, but has a VERY strong fragrance and many plant extracts that could irritate sensitive skin. I like this as a hand or foot cream Byoma Barrier Repair Treatment - great combination of emollients and oils like shea butter and avocado oil but not greasy at all. great for normal to dry skin. pump bottle makes it a little harder to get out Etude SoonJung2x Barrier Intensive Cream - the most minimalist formula and lightweight enough to be used under makeup or at night. thoughtful applicator for more clean application. great for acne prone skin or skin allergies Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream - very hydrating, packed with aloe and glycerin so its still lightweight and can use under makeup. great for combination or dry skin in AM or PM La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 - IYKYK the hype is REAL. thermal spring water, cica and shea butter for ultimate barrier repair. love it as an overnight mask Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream - most advanced ceramide technology of all options, elite for very dry or eczema prone skin on the face or the body Avène Cicalfate+ - obsessed with this one for the most compromised skin barrier or very sensitive skin. contains zinc which is anti inflammatory and soothing. Love this post procedure or to heal a bad diaper rash! Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream- The most lightweight option, packed with cica and panthenol to calm and hydrate.

dollar tree skincare routine for under $10 #dollartreeskincare #toner #fyp #dermatologist stitch with @Doc.shania

In case no one ever told you, Dollar Tree is the new target. I'm a dermatologist. Let me show you a complete skincare routine using only Dollar Tree products that cost under $10. Start with a gentle cleanser like this that is very similar to the Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser but only cost $1 25. I love this milky toner with colloidal oatmeal to help calm and soothe. Follow with this hydrating vitamin C serum. Apply this snail mucin moisturiser that literally melts into skin and has the same texture as the one from cosrx. Finish with sunscreen to protect at night. Use the same cleanser to remove product and makeup. Then apply this Elite Peptide Serum with Matrixyl 3,000 and Copper Peptide that could literally be on a Sephora shelf. Finish with this retinol night cream that hydrates like luxury.

Want to improve uneven skin tone and texture below the neck? @CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C lotion is a derm-approved option powered by stabilized vitamin C that can brighten and smooth while moisturizing. #ceravepartner #darkelbows #vitaminc #dermatologist

If you struggle with body discoloration like uneven underarms, dark elbows or knees, or marks from breakouts below the neck, I'm a dermatologist and I am here to say it is completely normal, especially if you've melanin rich skin like mine. That's because melanated skin is especially sensitive to developing discoloration on the body. If you want to improve body discoloration, look for a product that can brighten or exfoliate while being gentle on the skin barrier. The Cerave Brightening Vitamin C Lotion does it all. It contains stabilized vitamin C and niacinamide to help brighten, L A G. To gently exfoliate and smooth, and ceramides to support the skin barrier. And with regular use was shown in a clinical study to reduce stubborn dark marks by 50% in 12 weeks. I partner with Cerave because I have been using their products for years. This lotion is a great option to moisturize and improve texture and tone, especially for deeper skin tones and sensitive skin.

rating viral skincare products stitch with @evelyn #retinal #viralskincare #fyp

I mean this disrespectfully. 99% of skincare that goes viral on the internet is a complete scam I'm a dermatologist and let me show you the viral skincare products that are actually worth the hype and the best way to use it to maximise results. If your skin gets irritated every time you use retinol, you must try the Celimax Retinal Shot because retinal is one step closer to the active form of vitamin A than retinol, so it's less irritating but gives you more bang for your buck. And it contains one of my favourite peptides, Matrixyl 3,000, which may boost its ability to smooth wrinkles like this or minimise visible pores like this. Use a pea size amount on your face at night a few times per week and work your way up as tolerant. What can't the ordinary glycolic acid toner do? Glycolic acid is a small molecule alpha hydroxy acid that can exfoliate, boost collagen and even out pigmentation. We love her! To prevent and treat ingrown hairs, light and dark elbows help reverse aging hands and to smooth out keratosis pilaris. Pour on a cotton pad and then apply on the affected areas a few times per week. Panoxyl is the drugstore baddie that dermatologists love. She is powered by benzoyl peroxide, Which is anti inflammatory and antimicrobial, making her great as a cleanser for hormonal acne. And you can also use her in the shower as a body wash to help get rid of buttney stinky armpits, to even help prevent and treat boils in the armpits or groin like this. Just lather well and then leave on for a few minutes before rinsing, because that's how the magic happens I fear that cicaplast is. Indeed. That girl contains shea butter, probiotics, Thermal spring water, and cica. And I'm begging you to use her as a moisturizer after retinal to help reduce irritation and purging, as a lip mask to soothe chapped lips, or even as a hand cream for dry hands. Use her as needed a few times a week. Even Daily

azelaic acid >>>> stitch with @ya.mirr #azelaicacid #darkspots #fyp

Prove me wrong. But no skincare product can fade post acne marks, brighten dark spots, treat hormonal acne and mild melasma like azelaic acid, and it's even pregnancy safe! You don't need to break the bank to get it. You can find 10% azelaic acid at the drugstore for under $10. For a more elegant option, try this viral Korean azelaic acid serum that's particularly good for sensitive skin. To get the best results, apply azelaic acid on your face twice daily or see a dermatologist for prescription strength to maximise benefits

AD #AESTURA_Partner If you were personally victimized by a toner in the 90s or early 2000s, consider this your redemption. @aestura_us ATOBARRIER365 Capsule Toner combines gentle PHA exfoliation with hydrating, barrier-supporting ceramides in visible capsules that melt into the skin. I love pairing it with the ATOBARRIER365 Cream for a simple barrier-focused routine. Available at Sephora and Amazon! #AESTURA #ATOBARRIER365 #SkinBarrier #ceramides

If you were personally victimized by a toner in the 90s or early 2 that stripped your skin of every last bit of moisture, let me introduce you to Esther's Atobarrier 3 6 5 Capsule Toner, from the number one dermatologist recommended brand in Korea for sensitive skin that does the exact opposite. Unlike harsh toners that many of us grew up with, this toner combines gentle PHA exfoliation with Astera's visible ceramide capsules to help smooth, hydrate, and support the skin barrier. In fact, the capsule technology holds ceramides within the barrier for up to 18 hours. One of my favorite things about this toner is you can actually see the ceramide capsules suspended in the formula and they melt right into the skin as you apply it. After just one use, skin flakiness improved by 82% and 100% of users saw an improvement in skin texture. I love pairing it with the iconic Atobarrier 3 6 5 cream, which I have been using for months now. It's a rich moisturizer formulated with barrier supporting ceramides delivered through Esther's unique capsule technology. Together, the toner and cream create the ultimate barrier care routine for supporting healthier looking skin. You can find both of these products along with the complete out of barrier 3 65 collection at Sephora and Amazon.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this please follow mottsworld thanks so much for sharing your story and helping others #hidradenitissuppurativawarrior #boils #fyp

These painful armpit bumps are not pimples not an infection. not contagious either. They are all part of a common inflammatory condition hidradenitis suppurativa. Here are three hacks you can try at home to help heal those bumps and prevent new ones from forming. This may blow your mind. You can use head and shoulder shampoo as a body wash to help control H S. Same head and shoulder shampoo you use for dandruff contains pyrithione zinc which is antimicrobial and anti inflammatory and can help heal bumps and reduce odour. Surgical scrub that I use daily is available over the counter and can help reduce bacteria that causes H S. Flares. chlorhexidine is liquid gold for boils like these. Just make sure to avoid your eyes and ears. I know this sounds crazy, but if you need quick relief from a juicy boil like this, make a D I. Y. Black tea compress at home and apply it for 10 minutes to calm and soothe. For Pus worsening pain or tunnels and scarring like this, be sure to see a board certified dermatologist because there are in office treatments and prescriptions that can be life changing.

Why is Kristen Bell talking about a drugstore night cream? Here's why @loréal paris usa Midnight Cream performs and feels like a luxury night cream for less! #lorealparispartner #lorealmidnightcream #lorealparisskincare #nightcream #dermatologist

Got my midnight cream on. Feels so dreamy. Okay, vitamins and antioxidants, do your thing. Kristen Bell just became the new face of this drugstore face cream. But is it actually worth the hype? I'm a dermatologist and I'm bringing down the science behind how the iconic L'oreal Paris Midnight Cream can help repair the skin barrier in one night. It has a vitamin E and patented antioxidant complex to help neutralize skin stressors and boost radiance. Who are you? I'm you, silly. Listen, whatever you did to this last night, thank you. Our skin feels so fresh and glowy. Oh, don't thank me, girl. Thank the science behind Midnight Cream by L'oreal Paris. The science shows that this formula helps with faster overnight skin barrier repair, wrinkle smoothing and dehydration. And shea butter gives it that high end wrapping texture. I'm partnering with L'oreal Paris because this is an elite germ and Kristen Bell approved drugstore cream that performs and feels like absolute luxury.

just washed your hair but it already looks greasy? try this drugstore wash day routine #drugstorehairproduct #oilyhair #fyp stitch with @paige taylor riarinini

If your hair gets greasy even after wash day or separates like this, listen up, I'm a dermatologist. Let me show you a budget wash day routine for oily hair using only drugstore products. We love exfoliation in skincare. But did you know you can exfoliate your scalp too? Apply this scalp serum that contains exfoliating acids before shampooing to get rid of stubborn build up that causes greasy roots. The least sexy shampoo you will ever lay eyes on is the holy grail for oily hair. That is because our girl T sal contains 3% salicylic acid to reduce sebum like a champ. Apply this L'oreal conditioner from mid length to ends cause it can hydrate while also removing residue that weighs your hair down. And if you simply cannot wash your hair everyday, use this leave on treatment to help reduce scalp oils over time. Do you need a quick fix for greasy roots? In between washes? Spray this dry shampoo directly on your scalp to soak up oil in a pinch

skincare made simple 👌🏾 #retinol #azelaicacid #fyp #skincaretips

If you use retinol with azelaic acid, you'll smooth skin texture. If you use retinol with peptides, you'll reduce fine lines If you use vitamin C with sunscreen, you'll boost UV Protection. If you use vitamin C with tranexamic acid, you'll lighten dark spots. If you use salicylic acid with niacinamide, you'll minimize pores If you use salicylic acid with adapalene, you'll remove blackheads If you use glycolic acid with urea, you'll smooth bumpy skin If you use glycolic acid with cica, you'll boost skin glow.

is minoxidil for life? #hairgrowth #minoxidil #fyp @Sofia Sevilla 💖 rbrigitte7

minoxidil is like fertilizer for your scalp but if you wanna take your hair from thin to thick and you need to use it the correct way I'm a dermatologist and let me show you exactly how to use minoxidil to maximise hair growth concentration matters brand does not don't waste your time with 2% Women's Rogaine get the 5% men's version instead but see those dollars by buying Kirkland or another generic brand if you really wanna maximise hair growth I'd add in a gentle Derma roller or Derma stamp before minoxidil because it may help stimulate blood flow and help your minoxidil absorb better to see results you need to apply minoxidil every night for at least three to six months and massage in well after you but can you ever stop minoxidil without losing hair have a temporary form of stress induced shedding like postpartum hair loss called telogen effluvium you can likely stop minoxidil once your hair grows back but if you have widening of your part like this then you probably have androgenetic alopecia a chronic form of hair loss meaning you must keep using minoxidil or transition to another product that stimulates hair growth to maintain those gains

skincare concern —> solution #scars #darkcircles #dermatologist #fyp

For the shiniest, glossiest hair at a drugstore price, try @loréal paris usa Elvive + Glycolic Gloss. It’s powered by glycolic acid which helps the cuticle lie flat to reflect light for maximum shine. #lorealparispartner #glycolicacid #hairgloss #lorealparishaircare #dermatologist

There is one drugstore hair care product that I recommend time and time again and that's the L'oreal Paris Elvive Glycolic Plus gloss line. It's powered by glycolic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid that helps the hair cuticle lie flat so that it reflects more light for that supermodel gloss and shine. For the best results, apply the high shine leave in serum after the shampoo and conditioner because it contains a 4% glycolic acid complex for even more shine and hair that is up to 14 times smoother. I partner with L'oreal Paris because they test on all hair types and make salon quality hair care at a drugstore price.
