As a healthcare worker in my 40’s, who lives exhausted, I’m not only impressed but extremely thankful that you take the time to film these videos and your shorts for us. I’ve found your videos very helpful! I didn’t take care of my skin growing up except to wear sunscreen. I was horrible at washing my face until my 20’s and even missed days then and didn’t start with active ingredients until 39-40yo and have only been seeing a dermatologist consistently for about 2 years. Your skin is flawless and I’ve learned a lot from your videos. So, thank you for taking the time to educate.

✨Nighttime Routine✨ 2:07 Step 1 - Double cleansing: oil cleanser or miscellar water (Bioderma is the best miscellar water).Then use a cleanser. 4:19 Step 2 - Exfoliate: ideally at night because stuff will build up on your skin throughout the day (sunscreen, makeup, etc.) 5:31 Step 3-4 - (Optional) Mist/Essence: Essences are extremely lightweight 6:26 Step 5 - Prescription: The exception is Tretinoin because not everybody tolerates it at equal rates, this is where you can buffer your tretinoin. If you're not sensitive use it at this step. Avoid upper lip because you will shed like a snake. If you are sensitive, use the following steps and do it after serum before moisturizer or after serum and moisturizer if you're extremely sensitive. The more products you put before tretinoin the less effective it will be, but the less irritating it will be. 8:07 Step 6 - Targeted serums: Limit to 2 or 3; you don't need more than that. Multi-ingredient stories are interesting. Know the brand to make sure it's something effective. 9:05 Step 7 - Eye cream: Ideally an eye cream that's targeted, with caffeine, retinol, or peptides 10:13 Step 8 - Moisturizer: If you're using a moisturizer with actives, don't double dip with your serums. 11:13 Step 9 - Occlusives/face oils: For example, vaseline to seal everything in. ✨Morning routine✨ 12:05 Step 1- Wash with water: Try to just wash with water in the AM if possible, especially if you're dry 12:55 Step 2 - Targeted serums: Get a Vitamin C one if it's not in your moisturizer. If you have pigmentation, get kojic acid arbutin licorice root I.E. Dr. Idriss' Hyper Serum. If you have redness use her Depuffer. 13:17 Step 3 - Moisturizer: If it's humid and you're oily, skip moisturizer and go straight to sunscreen. If you're dry in a normal or dry climate, use moisturizer. Gage your skin type and climate for this step. 13:41 Step 4 - Sunscreen: If you're exfoliating your skin you want to be protecting it the next day especially. At least once a day if you have an office job and you're not doing manual labor outside. 14:27 Check description for links to 2 other important videos. Very quickly: Vitamin C absolutely can be combined with a retinoid. If you're using the L-ascorbic acid version of Vitamin C, try to not combine it with copper peptides or benzoyl peroxide, they could inactivate your Vitamin C. If using L-ascorbic acid apply that in the morning and the copper peptides at night or save the benzoyl peroxide for the shower before toy jump in. But if you're using Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (like in Dr. Idriss' product) you can combine with copper peptides. 15:56 Exfoliating acids you can combine acids like glycolic acid for anti-aging, lactic acid for pigmentation, salicylic for acne, but don't overdo it. She prefers exfoliating at night as she mentioned earlier, but you could do salicylic in the morning in a cleanser if you're oily.

I can't thank you enough for the insightful video! I wanted to share a personal experience regarding red light therapy for anyone on the fence about it. At 46, I've been using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official, which my dermatologist recommended for my skin's complexion and wrinkles. The panel is incredibly affordable, and the results have been outstanding. My skin's texture has improved dramatically, and I've noticed a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Interestingly, people often mistake me for being much younger now! There’s a lot of scientific research backing red light therapy, so it's not just a trend. Thank you again for your valuable content, it really helps make informed skincare decisions!

My skin has had more attention these past 3 days than my entire life thanks to your videos. I say this sincerely: from a what-product-comes-first-in-the-routine confused architect, THANK YOU! Would love to see your skincare products be shipped to Ireland - really hoping you'll consider this in the near future.

I must say that I am a little surprised at how FEW LIKES there are on this video. This is so incredibly detailed and informative. I haven't heard many of the MANY other YouTubers explain these principles in such a clear, consice way. Thank you VERY VERY MUCH Dr. Shereene!

I’d love a video on how to change your routine depending on the season. I see people talking about their summer vs winter routine and mine’s the same year round…

I really really really enjoy your content Dr Idriss. I’m 52 and only started about 2 years ago with “serious” skincare and I’m learning so much from you. You also make me laugh (in a good way) which makes your videos even more enjoyable ❤

It's mote like 4 pm, I was sewing for almost 12 hours, just layd down on a sofa and not moving anymore today. So bring it on, doctor :)

Thank you. I'm advanced in terms of my skincare routine. It makes me insane to hear makeup creators try to coach subscribers on skincare! Most are clueless

She is so good and really down to earth but so knowledgeable. She doesn’t push her brand, but damn, does she have an awesome brand. How does she produce all her content/media and still has a dermatological practice?! 😮‍💨

About the wet sleeves debacle: I use regular old wrist bands, the ones tennis players wear, and I take my top off while washing my face. That way I don't get my collar damp, either.

I love our Dr. Shereene❣️ It’s like we are sitting across the table chatting with our best doctor friend while she steers us in the right direction and slaps the cr_ p out of us for not wearing sunscreen. Thank you Dr. Shereene!!!

A very important question— how long should you wait in between layers

This is so helpful! I'm just starting my skin care journey and it can feel so overwhelming and that everyone is trying to scam me, thank you for cutting through the bs and giving me the facts!!

Hi Dr. Shereene, i’m a huge fan of your contents and they’ve helped me so much for the past couple weeks🤍 I have a few video ideas for you to discuss since i am curious in some topics, 1. How to read INCI list 2. Different kinds of hyperpigmentation and and how to identify (and differentiate) them 3. How to identify and treat different kinds of acne (papule, nodules, etc.) 4. Dry skin with acne skincare tips! Hope these content ideas will help you in the future, thank you doc🤍

I’d love a video on lip care, specifically collagen production loss as we age and fine lines around the lips 🙏🏼

Right on time for my night skin care routine here in Greece!Dr Shereene since you read our comments please know that we can't wait here in Europe for Pillowtalk!!!
