4.9Barrier Baste Lip Basting Duo
  • โ€œThe barrierbased lip basing duo, which is not a typical lip balm. It's a lip treatment with step one being the lip peel that is going to remove the dry, dead skin cells on your lipsโ€13:39โ€“13:44
  • โ€œThe lip peel is going to help to smoothen your lips and get rid of the flaking and the peeling and the rough texture of your lipsโ€13:55โ€“14:01
  • โ€œThis lip base offers that long lasting hydration with soothing benefits as wellโ€14:10โ€“14:16
  • โ€œI use this at night followed by this and I use this throughout the dayโ€14:16โ€“14:21

4.2Barrier Baste Lip Peel
4.5Variant: JetMakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara
  • โ€œI always put the blue one by YSL first, followed by a second coat of the Tower 28 MakeWaves in blackโ€
  • โ€œIt gives an illusion of like blue without being too in your face, and people ask me every day because I'm up in people's faces treating them, 'What do you have on your eyes?' And it's usually these two mascarasโ€

4.5Mascara
4.5Even Smoother Instant Reveal Facial Peel
4.5Pure Retinol Eye Cream
  • โ€œThis is not another basic eye cream that is just a hydrating moisturizer. It is a retinol eye creamโ€5:24โ€“5:35
  • โ€œIt is perfect for the sensitive skin around your eyesโ€5:35โ€“5:40
  • โ€œIt is powered with a retinol to give you that benefit of helping to plump up your collagen over time to smoothen your skin to help to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinklesโ€5:37โ€“5:46
  • โ€œPlus, it is affordable. I love this eye cream because it is affordableโ€5:50โ€“5:58
  • โ€œI will use it as well on my neck where it is notoriously more sensitive than my face and you want to go gentler and lighter on the neckโ€5:56โ€“6:00
  • โ€œI will even use it around my mouth area, which I like to refer to as the kiss of death because when I use a regular retinol or a prescription around this area, I will always shed like a snake unless I use a retinol eye cream which is formulated for more delicate skinโ€6:04โ€“6:11
  • โ€œBecause it's more affordable, you don't feel as guilty using it in those three areasโ€6:25โ€“6:30

  • โ€œIf you cannot tolerate retinols on your neck, you're going to want to try to look for other thingsโ€3:07โ€“3:12
  • โ€œGrowth factors and peptides are very different and this particular product contains both of themโ€3:12โ€“3:15
  • โ€œIt is made up of two chambersโ€
  • โ€œIn chamber one, it's their TNSMR chamber which contains human fibroblast conditioned media and this is their patented growth factor formulation that helps to stimulate cell growth, proliferation, skin healing, etc. to help with fine lines, wrinkles, tone and textureโ€3:30โ€“3:34
  • โ€œIt also has two peptides in this first chamber. It has progeline which blocks progerin... and Prolixir 20, which targets the ubiquitin proteasome pathway to decrease protein damage, so you age betterโ€3:45โ€“3:53
  • โ€œThe combination of these two chambers in this one product is really like two products in oneโ€4:44โ€“4:50
  • โ€œThe reviews from the patients have been stellar, and people love thisโ€5:04โ€“5:09

3.5Argireline Solution 10%
  • โ€œI would not tell you to spend a lot of money on this particular product and therefore this peptide is sold for a relatively cheap price and get it through The Ordinaryโ€6:10โ€“6:16
  • โ€œIt does have these neurotransmitter inhibiting like effects, kind of like how Botox would work, and it's going to help to soften your expression lines, soften your muscle movement, and really give you a more polished look, but it's not long-lastingโ€6:20โ€“6:23

4.2The Body Peel
4.3Cetraben Cream
  • โ€œCetraben is a cream that was really used for people who have eczema and problematic skin but I love Cetraben for the neck especially or if you're in a very dry climate and you want to lock things inโ€0:47โ€“0:51
  • โ€œIt is a combination of white soft paraffin and light liquid paraffin which makes it much more elegant than Vaselineโ€1:00โ€“1:07
  • โ€œIt blends much easier on the surface of the skin and it doesn't give that greasy residual after effect of Vaselineโ€1:07โ€“1:16
  • โ€œIf you're looking for something that can give your skin a little bit of bounce, that has an emollient consistency to it while being occlusive, I love Cetrabenโ€1:18โ€“1:22
  • โ€œIt's great for the neck especially as you get crepe here along the neckโ€0:54โ€“0:58
  • โ€œShe is one that you should use on your neck and a daily basis especially if you're in a dry environmentโ€1:31โ€“1:35

4.5Tap Secret Mattifying Dry Shampoo Powder
1.5Red Light Face Mask
4.2Vitamin D-3 & K-2
  • โ€œWe are all most likely vitamin D deficient, especially live in the northern hemisphereโ€12:24โ€“12:28
  • โ€œVitamin D supplements are very important to help with bone, immune, brain, and mood healthโ€12:39โ€“12:45
  • โ€œIt helps to absorb calcium into your body, but once it absorbs that calcium, it doesn't really direct it. So, taking vitamin K2 is important because it's going to direct that calcium into your bones and teeth where that calcium truly belongsโ€12:45โ€“12:50
  • โ€œThese two work synergistically very well together to support healthy bonesโ€12:59โ€“13:03
  • โ€œAs women, we tend to lose our bone density starting in our late 30s, 40s. Hence why we age faster in our face because our bone density thins out. So, we want to make sure that we are keeping our bone density strongโ€13:03โ€“13:08

About

Welcome to PillowtalkDerm! NEW VIDEO EVERY SATURDAY AT 10AM EST. ๐Ÿ’œ Hi! I am a board-certified dermatologist based in NYC, who happens to be tired of all the misinformation out there when it comes to skincare and cosmetic procedures. I believe appropriate maintenance and subtle changes can overall be dramatic, and I also believe in being YOUR own best self. What started as a community of obsessed skin nerds became the skincare brand, Dr. Idriss. Available @sephora US and CA. ๐Ÿ›Œ Follow along this channel for my #PillowtalkDerm stories where I cover a wide (and random) range of skincare and beauty topics. Hope you guys enjoy!
