It is so refreshing having a Doctor with his own channel who is honest, truthfully explains everything, and saves us money. There are no words to explain my gratitude. You are a good person, an excellent Doctor with a kind heart. Thank you for everything!

The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% works and the results are quick too. I'd rate it 10/10.

39 years of Retin A, light moisturizer, and sunscreen. I'm happy with my skin at age 65.

I love both The Ordinary and The Inkey List. I'm on a very tight budget and both these work and aren't overpriced

Key Ingredient Percentage Guidelines<br>Retinol: 0.01%–2% is effective, with higher concentrations increasing irritation risk.<br>Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid): 5%–15% is the optimal range for effectiveness.<br>Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): 2%–5% is ideal for barrier repair and brightening.<br>Hyaluronic Acid: 1%–2% is standard for hydration.<br>Salicylic Acid (BHA): Commonly 0.5%–2% for acne.<br>Glycolic Acid (AHA): 5%–10% for exfoliation.<br>Sunscreen Agents: Often 5%–25% (e.g., zinc oxide).

All those manufacturers are gonna be hating on you for putting this out. But I'm glad you're putting it out. Because it gets really expensive. Thank you so much

Just subscribed! Doctor, can you please review Korean skincare products and their 'innovative' ingredients or they are just really good at marketing?<br>Your videos are so informative! Love love love.
