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!

Wow a dermatologist who isn't trying to push his own line. Really appreciate your honesty and humour
-
"body dysmorphia for skin" - that line right there is a grand summary of the skincare industry and its deep pockets.
-
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 😊
-
As I have grown older I have learned that when it comes to make up and skin care products: "less is more".
-
Usama woke up and chose facts! Love the video man.
-
Poverty, especially during my teenage years, has shielded me from so much bs products and routines, I'll never be ungrateful for that.
-
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!
-
i got attacked once because i told a skincare "influencer" that using 10 different skincare products is too much
-
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.
-
Oh. Wow. It's 2023 and this young man, a medical professional, is spitting truth. This is incredibly important shift in narrative. Thanks a bunch.
-
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.
-
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. "
-
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.
-
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 👍
-
What you're putting inside of your body (food) is much more important than what you're applying to that extremely thin layer of skin.
-
As a practicing general physician for many years, I have been confronted with ethical problems and conflicts of interest, which many doctors no longer even consider or declare. It's hard to find healthcare professionals who remain objective about the information they provide, based on reliable data. Thank you for this true and real post. I declare that I have no conflict of interest 😁

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....
-
Well done. You have affirmed what I have suspected for decades. Few in the industry have the courage to do so! Thanks.
