Do you really need a $200 serum? Or a $150 moisturizer? As a dermatologist, I get this question about whether expensive skincare is worth it or not. So today, I'm going to share some serums, moisturizers, and even an eye cream that I think are worth the splurge.

    It’s all about what’s worth it to you and your budget. No cream is worth getting into debt.
  • @andrear3529
    I'd love to see a video comparing similar products from medical grade skincare brands (Obagi, Alastin, EltaMD, Skinbetter, Skinmedica, Skinceuticals, etc)! I think this would be great for those who buy medical grade skincare to know which products you think are more effective/better from which brands! love your content! i learn sooo much <3
  • @avista1231
    I’d love to see a dedicated video to led light therapy pls!!
  • Great video thank you. So many people only talk about drugstore products so I appreciate your video mentioning the higher end products
  • yes please . I'd love an entire video on LED light. I love all of your videos . I've learned so much . I could listen to you all day
  • @lisa9916
    Love my Omnilux face and neck mask makes skin texture and complexion more radiant! Would love to see a video on this!😊
  • Thank you for these recommendations. Yes please a video about red led! There are so many companies making these devices now so I’d love to learn how to shop for one.
  • Could you please do a video on JOWLS?! What causes them, how to prevent them, what works best if developing and what to do if you have them. Thanks!

    Thank you, Dr Sam! I so appreciate that you emphasize “research-based” products! It might’ve helped me more before reaching the status of Senior Citizen! I was fortunate to be employed by a NYC plastic surgeon and the program he advised may be outdated by now! Since I am fearful of invasive procedures, trying one expensive item at a time (and allow it time to work) is my present mindset! Aging is a theoretical gift as we all want to look our best! Again thank you 🙏🏻 for offering your advice and experience! PS: Theo’s first Christmas 🎄 How fun!
  • Thank you for this video. Knowing how the cost breaks down helps us make a good decision on where to spend the money.
  • Omgosh I love TNS! I have to save to purchase it but it’s so worth it!!! I love it!!! First time I used it was following a micro-needling treatment… obsessed! It’ll always be a must have in my list! ❤
  • Great video! Would love to see a review on the various LED masks.
  • Great video! I’d love a red light video. Also curious about the nira for eye area.
  • @ckatt352
    Yes, do a video on infrared therapy. I'm curious about the red light panels, as it's supposed to be good for a lot of things, health wise
  • Thank you so much for this information! I truly appreciate your honesty and personal testimony about these products!!! ❤️
  • So helpful thanks for these and good to have an option to invest esp liked the for those who may have sensitive skin options:)
