I am all for the younger generations to start skincare routines early but I repeat 📢 : teenagers don’t need serums with antioxidants like vitamin c and hyaluronic acid. So stay out of Sephora and keep it affordable!

Products mentioned for teens and tweens:
☀️ morning:
1️⃣Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 💧 
2️⃣Vanicream Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 😎

🌙 evening:
1️⃣CeraVe SA cleanser 🚿 
2️⃣Adapalene 0.1% gel (La Roche-Posay, Differin) ✨ 
3️⃣Moisturizer (Bubble Level Up) 🧴 
4️⃣body moisturizer (apply to damp skin)- Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream 👏 

Hope this helps 😎 🤙 and have a nice weekend. Cheers to keeping it affordable 🙌

I hope this helps as this is a super common condition that teenagers and adults deal with all the time - “cuz in the clurrb we all fam 😉” 

In the evening 🌙 : 💦 cleanse face with either salicylic acid (La Roche-Posay Effaclar 2% Sal acid cleanser) or benzoyl peroxide (CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser) and okay to use on body as well if you have body acne but be sure to rinse off your benzoyl peroxide product well and use white towels (BPO can bleach towels, clothes, linens) 

🤩apply a pea sized amount of a retinoid (adapalene 0.1% gel by Differin) to the entire face and then moisturize

This hack for #SmellyArmpits needs to go away already 🤦🏻‍♂️
I am all about promoting healthcare professionals (this creator being a pharmacist) to go online and give great education and science backed information but we also have to be careful not to give recommendations to the world that can lead to negative consequences. I do agree that chlorhexidine/Hibiclens has science backing it up, BUT I wouldn’t recommend its use on a daily basis 🛑 unless recommended by YOUR doctor.

You put in all that hard work to stay consistent with skincare products that can reduce dark spots but it can come down to the type of sunscreen that may make the difference!

Here are some notable tinted sunscreens that are popular in my household and also popular with my patients:
✅EltaMD eltamdskincare UV Elements (great BB cream like finish, one of the favs amongst my office staff)
✅DRMTLGY drmtlgy Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF46: very lightweight and with niacinamide (great everyday LIGHTWEIGHT sunscreen for those with rosacea or who are acne prone)
✅Neutrogena neutrogena Mineral UV Tint AND Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted: shout out to Neutrogena and BoJ for coming out with various tints for different skin tones!
✅Bubble bubble Plus One Tinted: affordable and easy to carry around for reapplication; my daughter loves this brand 😍
✅Isdin isdinusa Eryfotona Ageless: water resistant and with botanical extract to help with DNA repair (great for mature skin with history of skin cancer/pre skin cancerous lesions)

Hope this helps! 🤙

Sneaky ways to treat clogged pores!

You guys know me by now…These are a hard no for me 🫣 #DontDoIt 

Products you will not find in my household:
1️⃣beeswax containing 👄 lip balms. Use petrolatum ointment instead and apply with your fingertips instead 
2️⃣cuticle trimmers- use petrolatum to slug your cuticles to keep them happy and intact 
3️⃣heavily fragranced body soaps (def don’t use this on your face). My shower has Aveeno, La Roche-Posay and Dove body washes 

Hope this helps and hope you’re having an amazing weekend 😎🤙

Oh great, thanks for letting me know…and of course no preferred alternatives or a phone number for me to appeal these denials. 😡 
insurance companies frustrate me #iykyk 

Had to post this after our discussion in the other video regarding medical vs cosmetic services. The scope of what insurance will cover seems to narrow by the day and we as doctors have to adapt to take care of our patients while explaining these changes to them. 

Huge thanks to my staff and team members (medical assistants) for working hard 💪🙏at getting essential prescriptions approved for our patients. Insurance denials require more and more time on the phone and filling out paperwork, and even more office visits to fulfill their requirements- something needs to change!

Happy aloha Friday fam 😎❤️

I am seeing a lot of patients with dry, itchy skin with the change in weather and it is now the season to start dealing with dry, rough skin of the hands/feet, elbows and knees! Here are a few hacks and tricks to help with these stubborn areas:

💪urea containing moisturizers for hands and feet with dry, cracked skin: La Roche-Posay Lipikar Urea 10%, Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream 🧴 
🤩retinol body lotions/creams to help soften the elbows and knees: Versed and Cocokind 

🙌Seal it all in with petrolatum ointment: Aquaphor Ointment Body Spray
💦 lock in hydration on hands and feet with Aquaphor Repairing Hand and Foot Masks 

Hope this helps! 🤙

Let’s break down the essentials of “anti-aging”🤩 in order of importance:
1️⃣SPF is hands down the most important in protecting our collagen- ‘nuff said 💪
2️⃣Retinoids for boosting collagen: just choose one per day and never layer two different retinoids (CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, SkinBetter AlphaRet, RoC Retinol Capsules)
3️⃣Vitamin C Serum: use in the morning before applying your sunscreen to brighten your skin (DRMTLGY CE+F, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic)

Optional: peptide containing moisturizers (collagen boosting) and hyaluronic acid serums to plump the skin via hydration 💦 

Hope this helps and have an awesome week🤙

😳 Urine belongs down the drain and not on your skin. After seeing enough questions and comments on this, I finally decided to make this response 🚨 
👉The urea in your urine is a waste product and not likely in enough concentrations (also mixed with other waste products and salts) to make a significant difference in your skin. 

👉Products that I have been recommending to patients with synthetic urea for dry cracked feet, and thickened skin of the elbows and knees include:
👍Eucerin Roughness Relief Spot Treatment
👌La Roche-Posay Lipikar 10% Urea Roughness Smoothing Lotion
💪Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream 20% Urea 
👉I wouldn’t use these on the face - best to use these for very dry areas on the body/extremities. 

Hope this clears up some confusion 😁😬🤙

👀I don’t know the dermatologist you’re talking about but these are my thoughts: 

👉I don’t usually jump right on posts like this but I think it is good that patients ask questions and doctors clear up the confusion especially when it comes to medical vs cosmetic dermatology and insurance coverage vs direct out of pocket services. 

👉Even if we do not do any procedure that day, it is not a quick quote or straightforward answer to her question about telangiectasia on the nose. Also, if one intends to use their insurance for the visit, not all skin issues are fair game and it is good that doctors set their boundaries on timing and pricing for additional time spent talking about out of pocket elective services- it is a bit harsh to say the dermatologists are being “scammy” for laying out the doctor’s fee structure. 

👉Dermatologists are not trying to “scam you” but we can be better at explaining the differences in our services. @ Onepercentbetter

These 🗑️ videos are not good for my eyes 👀 🤦🏻‍♂️. 

Wear your sunglasses and sunscreen. 

The misinformation in the media is at an all time high 📈 and it’s getting dangerous. Thank you to my fellow physicians who are on the apps, sharing their years of expertise, whether time spent in the lab or in the hospitals/clinics.

One of the most common causes of contact dermatitis on the face is just from our own active ingredients (retinoids, exfoliants) that we are applying either too high in potency for our skin or using them too frequently (or starting on them too quickly).

Spilling the 🍵 tea on what dermatologists use every day 🤙
🍊 Vitamin C Serums in the morning: Great for glowing up our skin 🤩
👉Timeless Vit C, Maelove The Glow Maker and DRMTLGY Vit CE+F

Water resistant sunscreens  if you’re working out or swimming 🏝️ 🏊‍♂️ 
👉La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Pro Sport

😎Reapply sunscreen with sunscreen sticks
or SPF setting powder 
👉Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50
👉Supergoop! (Re)Setting Powder (over makeup)

🙌Derms love petrolatum! We even like it over non-infected cuts (not Neosporin)
👉Aquaphor

💪Compromised skin barrier and skin irritation?
👉LRP Cicaplast Balm B5 (you don’t have to break the bank for good skincare)

🤩Retinoids are essential in an anti-aging routine (after sunscreen) if you’re not pregnant 
👉RoC Retinol Max Hydration (for fine lines)
👉LRP Effaclar adapalene (for acne)
👉SkinBetter AlphaRet (for fine lines and has exfoliating properties for smoother texture)

💉 there’s a reason why we call Neuromodulator injections like Botox the “happy juice.” It just compliments our skincare well 

Have a nice weekend!🙌

A new low in skincare- Beef Tallow?? Beef tallow belongs in your cast iron skillet and not on your face. 😱 

There’s no one size fits all in skincare. If it works for you, I’m genuinely happy for you but I don’t want my patients who are acne prone to use this. Cue the troll comments saying that doctors don’t like natural products since we “can’t profit off of them.” 🤦🏻‍♂️
