Hi Dr Stephens! I'm wondering if it's worth including vitamin A in my routine at 22. Can it help "prevent" signs of aging or does it only help to fight already existing fine lines? Thank you 🥰

Hi Dr. Alexis, I suffer from hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and a small amount on my chin. I've tried Timeless Vit C, The ordinary's niacinamide and Paula's choice Azaleic Acid. Unfortunately, they didn't work for me. I have oily/combo skin, I break out easily and my acne leaves dark spots. What other OTC products do you suggest I try? Also, Dr. Dray mentioned a Korean skin brightening product called it's skin power 10 LI effector. What are your thoughts on it?

My new and proposed nighttime routine is La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser, tretinoin and niacinamide. Which goes on first tretinoin or niacinamide? Should I wear Clindamycin and sunscreen during the day? I alternate Clindamycin between tretinoin at night. I use tretinoin 4 nights a week.

Hello Dr. I'm 48. I suffer from dry, hyperpigmentation on my face and have dark areas around my mouth and chin from years of plucking the hair. I also hate the dark marks I have from years of wearing glasses. Please help me with a regimen that will help me start to see more youthful looking ever toned skin, like yours♥️♥️♥️

So Naturium has just launched their glycolic acid resurfacing solution 8% and glycolic acid resurfacing serum 10%. What are your thoughts for women of color using such high percentages? The percentages are 😱😱. I heard your discussion on what acids are better for us women of color, so I am pretty skeptical. What’s your advise?? Thank you and loving all your education on how to care for our skin👏🏾

Hi Dr. Stephens, thanks for the vids you put up, they have truly been a blessing. It’s just now the more I watch the more overwhelming it’s become. I just don’t know when to do what and when to put what on. I suffer from acne (my forehead is a big target concern right now) and hyperpigmentation. I’ve done the steps from your night routine video on hyperpigmentation but I’m not sure what to do about the morning. Or when/ or what masks I should use for my skin. Do you offer online consultations? I’d really appreciate it. There aren’t many (if any) dermatologists that look like us in my area (if you know what I mean 👩🏾) thanks so much and I hope to see the new skin care your working on launch soon!
