SKINCARE PRODUCTS I PERSONALLY USE:
Keep in mind what I said in this video - this isn't to say these are THE BEST products out there, just that I personally find them good, affordable, and evidence-based in theory. I'm not sponsored by any of these below companies.
Cervae Moisturizing Cream (my daily moisturizer): geni.us/A2CT
La Roche Posay Hydrating Cleanser (my daily cleanser): geni.us/TBAnM
La Roche Posay Tinted Mineral Sunscreen (sunscreen for skin of color): geni.us/EJXv

I'm building an AI personal skincare assistant so that ANYONE can have a skincare expert in their pocket that knows their skin, helps them track it, and gives them unbiased advice on the best products/routines for them. If you're interested in this, sign up here for Early Access: og7lzb6tl1h.typeform.com/to/xVnXi5oc The dream is that, over time, we can together build a REAL database to show which skincare products ACTUALLY make a difference, and which ones are just marketing BS. Join the Stratum movement if you support this mission!

"body dysmorphia for skin" - that line right there is a grand summary of the skincare industry and its deep pockets.
-
Wow a dermatologist who isn't trying to push his own line. Really appreciate your honesty and humour
-
As I have grown older I have learned that when it comes to make up and skin care products: "less is more".
-
i got attacked once because i told a skincare "influencer" that using 10 different skincare products is too much
-
Recently, I saw the morning skincare routine of an skincare influencer. She uses 7 products, same in the evening, every day. Then she proceeds to tell how she does a "skincare diet" once in a while where she only uses 3 products and that her skin stops breaking out when she does this. And at no point does it occur to her that maybe, just maybe, she does not need all 7 products every day....
-
Poverty, especially during my teenage years, has shielded me from so much bs products and routines, I'll never be ungrateful for that.
-
Every time I feel the pressure or urge to buy more skin care products I watch a video like this and it brings me back to reality. Thank you 😊
-
This is such a brilliant video… Genetics & diet play a huge part in how your skin develops! I’ve been in the beauty & hair business for 40 years, it’s so refreshing to hear to hear the truth & not someone scamming or merching their wares!
-
Nothing has left me feeling uglier than the skincare industry. Thank you for showing people like me that there's nothing inherently wrong us. It's all just about money.
-
Many years ago there was a product called Oil of Olay, which was suggested by a great many dermatologists. Due to curiosity I asked my dermatologist why this product was so highly recommended. His response was "Because dermatologists own stock in the company. "
-
We truly need more people Like you In the world. Not just in skincare, but in all areas of life. Honest, to the point and genuine. 💯💯🗣
-
Appreciate your honesty. As someone who still gets ID'd everytime I buy alcohol at 35, washing my face with warm water before and after sleep, and some moisturizer is all I have ever used. I think there is one PAINFULLY relevant thing that not many talk about - diet.
-
I was in the cosmetic industry for 10 years, and just recently made the switch to a career in tech. When i first started in cosmetics and skincare, I genuinely believed I was providing value and people were benefitting. As soon as I realized it was a revolving door of newness, uninspired products, and a marketing circle jerk I knew I had to jump ship. The consumerism was/is appalling.
-
After listening to you for 11 min, I have just one thing to say, you are one hell of a good human being, and thank god your morals are still intact even after getting board certified.
-
7:40 minutes in has to be the most honest observation about social media I've heard! Thank you for being a doctor with sincerity and integrity 👍
-
You are a wonderful,transparent,mindful,aware and insightful human 😅 ❤ Thank you for your transparency and integrity. And I shall continue to follow you 🎉🎉❤

Usama woke up and chose facts! Love the video man.

Things I've learned, as I've gotten older and focused more on skincare than makeup: 1. Sunscreen, sunscreen, SUNSCREEN. Literally an ounce of prevention early on is a pound of cure. 2. Everyone is an individual; what works for one person may not work for you. 3. Look at your parents; depending on how much sun they got when they were younger, that's how you'll age (see point #1). 4. When someone tells you "you have great skin!" just believe them.

Wow love this skincare cheat sheet! So helpful. I get so overwhelmed sifting through the 10000s of products available. Keep science simple!
