  1. @drdrayzday reviewing Dove Sugar Cookie Sprinkle Body Wash at 00:35 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Dove$5.97
    Body Washshade · Sugar Cookie Sprinkle
    • The sugar cookie sprinkle, this was a limited edition holiday scent0:22
    • I love the scents of these body wash collabs that they come out with. They're amazing. They're not sickeningly sweet, they're not headache-inducing0:35
    • They're more of an in-shower experience rather than something that actively scents your skin after you get out of the shower0:38
    • The body wash formulations themselves are wonderful. They cleanse very gently, but also simultaneously moisturize the skin to produce a nice, pleasant lather0:49
    • They rinse off of the skin efficiently. I have zero complaints1:02
    • I haven't looked back1:04
  2. @drdrayzday reviewing Dove Crumbl Tres Leches Body Wash at 14:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Dove$6.97
    • This was likewise wonderful

  3. @drdrayzday reviewing Dove Peppermint Bark Hand Wash at 01:42 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This was one of my favorite scents far and away1:25
    • They're wonderful. As far as same benefits of the body wash in that they cleanse, but they also moisturize, which is key for hand care1:42
    • I'm someone who deals with hand eczema flare-ups, and these don't dry out my hands or aggravate that, and they don't make my nails dry1:53
    • Certain hand soaps, I find my fingernails become dry and prone to hangnails as a result. These do not do that2:01
    • And like the body wash, they rinse off efficiently. I really, really like them2:09
  4. @drdrayzday reviewing CeraVe Healing Ointment at 02:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    CeraVe$20.99
    • It's got, of course, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. I think that makes the formula just ever so slightly a bit more sophisticated2:23
    • They have longevity on the skin that allows for really good, long-lasting reduction in transepidermal water loss2:33
    • Where this really stands out as one in a million is for the lips. This is one of the best lip balms out there because it's got that hyaluronic acid to really help with moisture content in the delicate lip skin area3:03
    • But it's amazing at protecting lips from saliva and other irritants that lead to dry, cracked lips3:20
    • I really, really love this3:24
    • I just wish that they would not use this adhesive label on this jar because it inevitably starts to peel off, and that's kind of a pain. But that minor gripe aside, I love it3:27
  5. @drdrayzday reviewing Mirai Purifying & Deodorizing Body Wash at 05:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I actually like this body wash. I thought it was very gentle, effective, and you don't need very much of it in order to generate sufficient lather to cover the entire body5:00
    • It rinses off the skin well, leaves the skin feeling moisturized, hydrated5:10
    • It's clear, it's colorless, but it has like a nice citrus scent to it, but it's not super strong5:14
    • I ended up really liking this, but for the price... it's not really something that I personally I'm looking to address per se to justify the price point5:33
    • I probably would not necessarily for myself repurchase that, but it is pretty good5:42
    • If you're willing to experiment with persimmon, I think it's a great option because it's a pretty nice body wash, to say the least5:47
  6. @drdrayzday reviewing Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream at 06:31 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is one I have used for several years, and I really really really, I mean, really hope Neutrogena does not discontinue this cuz man, they discontinue and reformulate things all the time6:16
    • This is a hyaluronic acid moisturizer with petroleum jelly, very no-nonsense, and it's like a lightweight gel formula, but it's rich at the same time without being heavy6:31
    • It's very breathable, but very very good for imparting long-lasting hydration6:43
    • Like it helps with moisture retention in the skin, for sure6:48
    • I comfortably have used this on the face quite a bit, actually, and I would recommend doing that as well6:56
    • I do think it is very good, and I have used multiple bottles in my lifetime7:19
  7. @drdrayzday reviewing AmLactin Calm & Renew Body Lotion at 07:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    AmLactin$15.97
    • Of all of them, this is my least favorite7:36
    • It goes on streaky7:39
    • It's effective, it works well7:41
    • I finished this but I just it was more of a personal preference for the application7:56
  8. @drdrayzday reviewing Remedy Skin For Body Bumps KP Moisturizer at 08:44 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I swear this is a lot heavier than it used to be, like denser on the skin. So much so that I even felt a little overheated a couple of nights using it8:35
    • It is very rich8:44
    • It's got retinol, which is good for over time of course improving collagen production, little fine lines can become less obvious and it can diminish wrinkle depth, but it's also really good for improving age-related sunspots and just improving the surface of the skin, normalizing skin cell turnover8:47
    • It's got urea and lactic acid. So this is really good actually if you have keratosis pilaris9:05
    • It has several ingredients that target the dry rough bumps, reduce their formation9:11
    • I really really like this actually quite a bit and I think it's a great option if you were looking for a body retinol to improve the visible signs of skin aging9:29
    • You can use it on the chest, the neck, if you tolerate it, the upper arms. I mean, anywhere and everywhere you want to use it9:38
    • And it is effective, but it is just a little heavier, you know9:45
    • I do think it's really, really good and I do recommend it10:15
  9. @drdrayzday reviewing Prequel Barrier Therapy Rich Cream at 11:21 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are great
    • Colloidal oatmeal has the ability to improve moisture content. It's a humectant. It also can create a lightweight film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss and it's got avenanthramides, which are anti-inflammatory11:08
    • It's really, really good for eczema
    • It's a skin protectant, so it will protect the skin from irritants11:21
    • They're both fragrance free11:30
    • The rich one is a little richer, a little heavier11:36
    • They go on a little bit streaky, not as bad as the AmLactin we just talked about, but they do go on a little bit streaky11:53
    • Overall, they leave the skin nice and moisturized, and the hydration, I would say, lasts about 48 hours11:59
    • I think these are fantastic. Honestly, Prequel does a really good job12:16
  10. @drdrayzday reviewing Prequel Barrier Therapy Skin Protectant Cream at 10:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are great
    • Colloidal oatmeal has the ability to improve moisture content. It's a humectant. It also can create a lightweight film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss and it's got avenanthramides, which are anti-inflammatory10:41
    • It's really, really good for eczema10:15
    • It's a skin protectant, so it will protect the skin from irritants
    • They're both fragrance free
    • The non-rich, lighter blue tube... you may prefer to lean into that for the summer
    • They go on a little bit streaky, not as bad as the AmLactin we just talked about, but they do go on a little bit streaky
    • Overall, they leave the skin nice and moisturized, and the hydration, I would say, lasts about 48 hours14:44
    • I think these are fantastic. Honestly, Prequel does a really good job
  11. @drdrayzday reviewing Aveeno Eczema Therapy Nighttime Itch Relief Balm at 12:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Aveeno$26.16
    • This is thick. It's a balm, and this is great if you have a flare-up of raw, red, rashy skin, say atopic dermatitis, because you want something very occlusive12:32
    • It'll really help heal that, and B, it won't sting12:49
    • This has to be one of my all-time favorite colloidal oatmeal products, because it is so rich, healing13:03
    • You almost want to spread this on toast. It looks like something that you should be eating for breakfast. It's so decadent13:08
    • This is very very good
    • If you have atopic dermatitis, I would highly highly recommend giving this a try because it's very good for flare-ups13:36
    • It's very good for chronically inflamed and thickened skin as well for lubricating the skin surface13:43
    • It does a good job at cutting down on itchy because... it protects the skin from water loss and penetration of irritants which heighten itch symptoms, but also the colloidal oatmeal is anti-inflammatory13:48
    • I think it's a great option above and beyond petroleum jelly for this circumstances14:19
