– Is that mean? I shouldn’t say that (laughs) oh my god. People are gonna be like I’m
not going to her, she’s judgy. – [Woman] No! (percussive music) Hi guys, my name is Dr. Cindy Bae, I’ma board-certified dermatologist at the Laser and Skin
Surgery Center of New York. I also teach residents at NYU
Department of Dermatology. There’s so many podcasts, websites, blogs about skincare, everyone’s
an expert nowadays, so I’m here to give the official rule. (percussive music) So I do recommend a cleansing
method to my patients, especially at bedtime,
because throughout the day, you’ve been exposed to
pollution, debris, oils, your sunscreen, everything that’s built up so absolutely you need
to remove all of that. So if you need to use
a makeup cloth, use it. If you need to use an oil balm, use it, and then follow it up
with a cleanser and then if you need an astringent
or a toner to remove any further residue, use
that, and then moisturize. And if you wanna get
fancy and add extra steps, you can add a serum, an ampule, a booster, there’s so many things you can
add to your skincare regimen. So Hannah Y comments,
“my dermatologist said “to never use scrubs,”
and someone commented, “not harsh ones like sugar,
salt, nut shells, et cetera, “but gentle scrubs.” So there’s truth to both points. You wanna be very gentle with your skin, because if you are harsh,
you can cause micro-tears and irritation in your
skin, so you wanna be gentle and if you want that
exfoliation from a scrub, you can also use chemical ones too. There are many different
products with acids in them that help remove debris and sticky skin so that you get a nice
exfoliant experience. All right, so Kat F asks
“your face feels tight, “the product is too harsh for you, what? “Like every product I’ve
ever used has done that “for me and I thought it’s normal “and you just moisturize
well after, dang.” So Kat F is actually correct. If your face feels too
tight, it is probably a little too harsh for
you and let’s go back to the science behind that. That just means that your
soap that you’re using is alkaline, so your pH
is a little bit higher. Our skin is a little bit acidic at a pH of about 5.4, 5.5, so when
you use an alkaline product, your face can feel tight
and dry and that actually affects the skin barrier,
so it is probably too harsh for you. So Kat F, great point. Okay, so Brisel Cabrera comments
“micellar water and toner “are not in any shape, way,
or form the same thing. “Micellar water is stripping everything “away from your skin and is taking away “your natural oils and is actually “throwing off your pH balance. “Toner restores your pH balance. “If you’re going to use micellar water, “make sure to use a toner after it.” So there’s some good information,
some incorrect information and some confusing
information in this comment. So historically the
reason why we use toners is because a lot of people use soaps, alkaline soaps that were
harsh and they left residues and that’s why we followed up
that cleansing with a toner. So nowadays we’re much more sophisticated in our formulations, and
so we don’t really need a toner for that purpose, and you can see that toners come in a
variety of formulations, ones to hydrate and
ones to actually remove the extra debris, so
micellar water is actually, it’s just soap dispensed
in a water solution that’s gentle enough to
remove stubborn makeup and oil-based sunscreens,
stuff like that on your face. So yes, micellar water and
toner are not the same thing but toner also comes in a variety of forms so you can’t, it’s like
comparing apples and oranges. They’re not the same, but micellar water won’t really strip
everything, it will just help remove stubborn things
like waterproof mascara in a gentle manner. Sophie Kilmer comments “never use a scrub “next to your eyes, Christ.” So (laughs) you have to
be gentle ’cause the skin around your eyes is much
thinner than the rest of your skin and body. I don’t think you need to
absolutely completely avoid it as long as you’re gentle with it. (percussive music) So serums actually help deliver nutrients or active ingredients to the skin. It’s very concentrated so
you don’t need that much and you’ll see that they’re
sold in smaller bottles. There are so many products
out there on the market, serums, boosters, ampules, and basically their function is to deliver
nutrients to your skin or active ingredients like antioxidants and phytonutrients and vitamins, so that’s what you can use to you know, add oomph to your skincare routine. Cubicle comments “he has
sensitive skin prone to redness “and he used a serum full of fragrance, “phyto-corrective gel, L-ohh-L.” If you have sensitive
skin, you shouldn’t use a bunch of products or
you should really look at the ingredients and see if there’s a common denominator
of a certain ingredient that makes you sensitive and avoid it. Fragrance is added to
some skincare products just to mask some unpleasant
smells from the formulation, but it’s also added to make
it seem very fancy and nice, so that you’ll use it. Sometimes you can actually
react to fragrances, especially if you have sensitive skin, so if you are one of those
people who have sensitive skin, make sure you look at
products and look for hypoallergenic or fragrance-free. Oh my gosh (laughs) Jackson Stacy, wow, you’re observant:
“anyone notice she didn’t “put a moisturizer on after the HA serum?” So what, what if she didn’t need it? What if she’s in some humid environment where it’s full of moisture? You don’t know, you don’t always have to use a moisturizer,
especially if you have oily-prone skin or if
you just use an HA serum that helps moisturize. You know hyaluronic acid is a moisturizer, so don’t judge. (percussive music) Common actives, so active
ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, anything that we
know has an effect on the skin. There’s cosmoceuticals and
drugs and the difference between that is that
cosmoceuticals are like adorning the skin, but
drugs actually affect the structure and function of skin. So sometimes that line can be blurred too. Gymnasmic says “so uh,
why do no celebrities “use Tretinoin, when it’s
literally the only substance “on earth that the FDA has confirmed “is effective for anti-aging?” I think some celebrities are
in the know with skincare and probably do use Tretinoin,
because a lot of them do see a board-certified dermatologist, but you do make a good point, a lot of, many people should be on a
retinoid unless you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s actually
really good for the skin. It treats acne, prevents
acne, prevents fine lines, helps with the appearance of your pores, so it’s wonderful, so if
you’re not using it, use it. A retinol is just
vitamin A, so there’s all these different derivatives and ultimately the main ingredient
that’s active in our skin is retinoic acid, and
so Tretinoin is a type of retinoic acid or retinoid which mimics vitamin A activity, and
there’s actually one that’s over the counter that
used to be prescription. I do not get a kickback from
this, but it’s Differin Gel and it’s only $12.99, the
biggest beauty bargain. So Nina El comments,
“there’s a lot of people “who are in their 50s and 60s now “who have been using
retin-A since their teens. “Keeps 80% of wrinkles at bay but sagging happens regardless.” So, you’re sort of right, yep. It does help with wrinkles,
I don’t know where you got the 80% but that’s very supportive of using retinoids, which I applaud. But sagging does happen
because there’s gravity, time, things like that that
make things naturally fall. Retinoids have been around
since probably the 1980s because that’s when
isotretinoin, otherwise known as Accutane, was FDA-approved
for the use of acne. So Shormee Sohani says
“I thought we should not “use retinol and vitamin C together.” So it depends, it all
depends on formulation, the stability of these active ingredients, sometimes when you add
ingredients together that are active, it can
cause irritation or dryness to your skin, so you just have to try. Basically the reason why we say not to mix a lot of things together is because one, we don’t want them to cancel out or two, we don’t want your skin to be irritated. Barking Spider comments, “if
you’re going to use a retinol, “don’t wash your face with
SA, salicylic acid, prior. “Very surprised that
wasn’t mentioned by her.” I wanna ask Barking
Spider why he thinks that, or she thinks that. I don’t think it really
matters to that degree. We know salicylic acid,
it frosts when we use it as a peel, it’s very quick in its action, so maybe you’re commenting
on that you don’t want your skin to be irritated
because both are being used, but if your skin’s used
to it, which it can get a tolerance to some
products, it should be okay. (percussive music) Moisturizing is important because we want to prevent water loss in our skin, so we call that transepidermal water loss and so when we lose too much
water, our skin gets dry, irritated, we lose our
barrier that protects us from bacteria, microorganisms,
things like that, so we wanna maintain a
good moisture barrier. Itzel Lopez says “basically coconut oil “is working as a moisturizer.” Great, if it works for you, keep using it. There’s different types of moisturizers. There’s oils like petroleum jelly, there’s vegetable oils,
there’s oils like coconut oil in that category, there’s
waxes like beeswax, dimethicone like silicones,
so if coconut oil is working for Itzel Lopez, rock on. The comment is “does
anyone know of an eye cream “that actually brightens up
the darkness under your eyes?” Eye creams are great in that
they moisturize your skin. I don’t think that there’s a
magic wand eye cream out there otherwise there wouldn’t
be so many different types of eye creams and different
types of procedures to treat problems like
darkness under your eyes. So the darkness under
your eyes can be caused by so many different things. One, you could have a loss
of volume of soft tissue, of bone, or you can have
blood vessels underneath ’cause the skin is thin
so it’s not very good at camouflaging the blood vessels, so it’s multifactorial,
or it could be pigment. You can maybe have some melasma
there or some sun damage so it really depends. There’s no eye cream
that fixes everything, so I think you need to figure
out what it is you’re seeing and then address that problem. If it’s volume loss, you
can use soft tissue filler. If it’s pigment, you can use vitamin C, like an eye cream with
vitamin C to lighten up the skin there, so it really depends. Okay, so “moisturizer then oil. “Small molecules, typically
found in serums first, “biggest last,” I agree. So I would say if you’re gonna use a water-based moisturizer,
use that and then follow up with an oil because the oil kinda seals everything, so
once you put that oil on, nothing’s gonna really
penetrate afterwards. So the comment after
that is “not necessarily. “Oil and water repel one another. “If you want the nutrients
in the oil to absorb, “you apply it first, otherwise it will sit “on top of the moisturizer. “Most moisturizers, even
the ones with actives, “advise on the back to apply over serum. “An oil would be the serum in a routine. “If we’re talking about
sealing in moisture “like in cold climate,
then a heavier moisturizer, “not an oil on top, should be used.” So again, this, let’s
go back to the basics. So a moisturizer can come
in so many different forms. So when people say oil and moisturizer, they’re almost saying oil versus water, but it’s not that distinct. Moisturizer does have some oils in it, otherwise it wouldn’t be a moisturizer and then going further back to the basics, we categorize moisturizers
based on occlusives which trap the water in, and humectants that bring water to your skin. So you need an occlusive
like an oil to keep the water in your skin,
otherwise your skin would just dry out. So speaking of oils, let’s
jump into the next category. (percussive music) So Kelkno comments “I
thought we were over the myth “that only oily skin is
acne-prone and that all oils “break you out, and
suggesting a microbead scrub “for your face, I’m out.” Okay, so there’s many
different pathogenesis that cause acne, there’s hormonal acne, there’s cystic acne,
there’s scarring acne, there’s comedonal acne, and yes, oily skin can contribute to acne but not everybody with oily skin has acne,
so that’s just not, you know, blanket statement. And that all oils break you
out, that’s not true either. Moisturizers have oils in them so no, they don’t all break you out. And that was our last comment. So it’s really important
that you’re very consistent with your skincare
routine, and don’t believe everything you read or hear. Talk to your board-certified dermatologist if you have any questions. Don’t just go reading the
internet, Mr, Dr. Google, whatever, talk to your doctor. They’ve studied very
long and hard to help you answer a lot of these questions. This has been Derm Reacts, a new series from Harper’s Bazaar. Subscribe to get more videos like these, and give this video a big thumbs up. Follow me at @drcindybae on Instagram or Cindy Bae, MD on Facebook. Thanks, guys! (calm music)

I really like her. Very knowledgeable and kind.
Dr bae… a bae that is dangerously smart. I like

What to do against acne scars?
I’m officially offended by all these dermatologist with flawless skin & beautiful personalities
Are they never gonna talk about sunscreen? I’m gonna cry I need to know everything about sunscreen ASAP! I break out so much because of it
This is my favorite new feature on the internet. Yes. xoxo. 10. A+
Omgsh this is so helpful! I learned so much. I have yet to get on any type of retinoid. I've heard that there are so many different doses that you could use. Do you have any suggestions for someone who is 29 (me lol!) and has never used it and wants to start? Meaning, how strong? Should it be a lower dose starting out?
I am obsessed with this series
She said u can use coconut oil as moisturizers isn't coconut oil clogg your pores?
she’s beautiful I love her
She's drop-my-glassbottle-into-the-sink-dead gorgeous 😍
I’m confused. A lot of what she is saying goes against 80 percent of dermatologist I’ve seen online and in person. I don’t know what to think 🤔
I'm really afraid from sun
Cuz I don't want any anti aging or fine lines what should I do? And when I meet sun my skin get red ,tough , dry skin
My doctor say that I have oily skin but I feel it's dry I'm all my face in the past I got some acne on my forehead but not to much but now it's normal get some pimpels like anyone but not always
Second i have some little pores I want to get rid of it what should I do? I use natural products like creams serums contain oily skin oils
And eats fruits vegetables can it prevent any fine lines and anti aging?
Sorry it's long..
Love her hair
I'm looooooving this series 💕❤️🥰
This is the 3rd dermatologist in this series from New York. Go New York lol ♥️
I'm not saying I'm an expert, by any means, at all.. I'm saying I already knew everything in this video from years of reading studies, research and experience – with my own skin.
love love love this new series!!!!!!!!! there is so much conflicting info and opinions out there so having professionals address these comments and concerns really helps and also makes me love the go to bed with me series even more!!! keep it up Harpers Bazaar!!!!!!!
I AM CONFUSION 5:43
Hyaluronic acid is not a moisturizer, it’s a humectant
Plz help me someone. How can you understand anyone's skin condition when it is under makeup????
Those offended by the "everyone's an expert" comment are disliking this 😅
cue the shade at the influencers “everyone’s an expert nowadays” LOL
I am oily and live in a tropical country (the humidity is insane), so hyaluronic acid is enough as a moisturizer just like she said. 😆
her hair is ehhhhveerrrrrrrrthaaaaaang!
When she said hyalaronic acid is moisturizer I was confused. Really?
This lady is hypnotically beautiful
Can someone tell me which company for 12$ Retinol?
The fact that she said you don’t have to moisturize after an HA serum is really weird and contradictory to most others derms… She even contradicted herself toward the end saying you need an occlusive to keep the moisture in or else your skin will dry out. Also, is ok with coconut oil as moisturizer and didn’t mention that it’s HIGHLY comedogenic???? Ma’am… you’re hot but some of these remarks were HIGHLY questionable.
yeah I don't like her she seems really bitchy.
I struggle watching this series cuz I know these derms are very qualified to speak on skin care but I feel like the feedback and recommendations made on this channel differ greatly from other YouTube derms like Dr Dray.
Micellar water doesn’t have soap but oil molecules to break down makeup. This “educated” woman should know that.😂
When she said “you don’t always have to use a moisturizer,” I almost choked on my pasta.
(Of course, taken in context, it made a lot of sense. But I’ve always rule #1 was to alwayssssss use a moisturizer, whether or not you have oily skin. It’s good to learn. 🙂 )
Is African Black Soap bad for you? It burns your face but helps a lot with acne, is it worth it irritation or do I stop it immediately?
Love her. Periodt.
i've watched all of these and they've been so informative!
Dr Cindy Bae 😍
YESSSSSS
I know in the last “Dermatologist reacts to YouTube Comment Section” video, a lot of us wanted to make another reaction video, and I just wanted to thank Harper’s BAZAAR for noticing us ❤️❤️❤️
Cindy is so funny lmao
I love her! She did a great job! More features please!
I don’t know why some dermatologists say actives cancel each other out they don’t. And in fact there is scientific studies showing the efficacy of using retinol & retinoids together.
And oils are not moisturising. Coconut oil is just plain bad oil for your face.
I would love to hear an expert's opinion on body skincare!! It gets so overlooked and I have as many issues on my body as I do on my face, if not more.
holly F she's gorgeous!😍
Drop your skincare girllll!!
Different skin types have different needs, so they’ll have different answers. She’s looking at it case by case.
How do we know if our products are counteracting via packaging? E.G. I use dermalogica's retinol, as well as Peter Thomas Roth's Vit C Eye cream at night. The vit c eye cream always burns a smidge going on but the sensation disappears after a few seconds. This happens regardless of if I use retinol that night or not. Also, I don't get dryness or redness in the area where they could overlap. Is there a way I can see a conflict between the two products on the packaging?
She said your face shouldn't feel tight, but mine feels tight after using water 😬
Hyaluronic Acid is a moisturizer & you don’t “have to moisturize” if you’re oily 🧐
Sorry I’m sticking with Dr Dray 💀
Whats the best thing to do about occasional pimples? What effect does popping pimples have on the skin?
Thanks Harper’s Bazaar on this series. Really help dispels all those confusing info from so called beauty “influencers”. If you want to get it right, talk to a certified expert. Me like 💜👏
I don't know why everyone is so confused and concerned about what she said that you don't always have to use a moisturizer, especially if you have oily skin. It is very logic to me, if you have oily skin, the oil that your skin produces is already preventing the water loss. And if you are using an HA serum or gel that's perfect because it hydrates the skin by attracting water and that regulates the excess sebum so you're in kind of balance: not too much oil and occlusiveness, but you still have oil to prevent water loss and protect the skin from dryness and irritation
How is that GEL called for 12.99 ? i need it lol
All I can say is that yes nowadays everyone act like they are experts. However even dermatologists have different opinions, so what she is saying in this video is not the definitive truth. Fx many other dermatologists believe fragrance is something always should be avoided even though you don’t have sensitive skin because of the risk of becoming sensitized is always there. Just today I heard on tv that more and more people here in Denmark are becoming allergic to fragrance :/
I’m confused by some of her responses, especially about Retinoid and Vitamin C, she doesn’t respond fully!
she's so cute. i love her
What blusher is she wearing 😍 l need that.
She’s a babe
I thought moisturizer is a must bc it seals everything in…since HA is a humectant
What is the $12.99 beauty bargain she refers to?
Dr.Bae- what’s your skincare and hair routine???? Thank you !!!
Team #dermreacts
I would love to see Dr. Dray in here.. 😊
I love this series. Education from experts 💜
Omg! Can she drop her skincare routine?!?! Her skin is sooooooo PRETTY!
Dr Bae is literally so beautiful, I could barely focus on what she was saying!
(I lie, I could focus, I guess I just wanted to be distracted XD)
Please dr dray next
I want to know who did Dr. Bae's makeup. Classic contoured eyes and glowing, clean complexion – beautifully done!
DR DRAY next please!!!
Plss talk about hairfall bcoz everyone has this problem
Under eye circles are genetic first and foremost, and tbh most eye creams are useless.
She is good.
Beautiful, down to earth and so knowledgeable! 😍 I need a bae like this in my life (…as my derm of course~ I don’t know why you were thinking) ^^
Even though I love this series, I still feel like I haven't gotten any definitive answers about certain myths and misconceptions. I mean I get that dermatologists are people too and can have different opinions, but when she said "everyone's an expert" and I'm here to give the official verdict or whatever, it really turned me off on her since in reality dermatologists are people, and people all have different opinions and can make mistakes too. Yes, I get that dermatologists are obviously more qualified than random people on the internet, but sometimes these actual experts spout off the same confusing information that internet comment sections perpetuate. I really wish there was more agreement in dermatology since I feel like the widely differing opinions from the 3 dermatologists featured so far just end up leaving me more confused since they're all experts and there's no way to tell who's right. (And I'm not talking about advice where they say whatever works for your skin or everyone's different, I'm more so talking about the whole retinol and vitamin C combinations and whether or not face oils are actually moisturizers, since all 3 have different opinions. I just wish they all had the same or a similar consensus backed by science to explain this, since I know everyone is different, but science and facts are universal and as dermatologists you'd think that at least some hard and fast rules and philosophies would apply.
I love this series but didn’t like her quite as much as the previous dermatologists 😄
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast. I’m obsessed with this serie, please make an episode that only focus on the acne treatment as I’ve been struggling with acnes my whole life.
Let me just say. Don’t listen to these fancy dermatologist that are being paid by the cosmetic industry. The fact that she said she had the "final say" was so off putting. Dermatology and other sciences are always changing. New studies and theories everyday. If you want to learn about basic skin function, do the research.
body skincare! someone ! p l e a s e !
I love how she says fAAAncy at 5:10
Coconut oil can cause clog pores if you have oily skin specially never use on face
Please bring on Dr. Dray next.. Love this series!
Omg Dr Cindy Bae is drop dead gorgeous ❤️ I want skin like hersssss 😍
Dr Sam Bunting next, please!!!!
damn, she's gorgeous
