Melanotan II: The Truth About the Viral "Barbie Drug" | Dermatologist Explains

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Curious about Melanotan II, tanning peptides, nasal tanning sprays, or the viral "Barbie Drug"? In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the science behind Melanotan I and Melanotan II, how these tanning peptides work, and why dermatologists are concerned about their growing popularity on social media.

Dr. Dray discusses whether Melanotan actually works, the difference between FDA-approved afamelanotide (Scenesse) and unapproved Melanotan II, reported side effects, concerns about changing moles and melanoma detection, and why a tan is not a sign of healthy skin. She also explains why sunscreen is still essential and discusses safer alternatives for achieving a bronzed appearance.

Whether you've seen "tanmaxxing" trending on TikTok or are wondering if tanning injections or nasal tanning sprays are safe, this evidence-based review will help you separate fact from fiction.

Do Lymphatic Face Brushes Actually Work? Dermatologist QandA

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from followers about lymphatic face brushes, dark spots, sunscreen, cleansing balms, laser complications, tanning, glycolic acid, and retinoids.

She discusses whether Coleman Compound is a worthwhile alternative to hydroquinone, whether lymphatic face brushes actually benefit the skin, and whether antioxidant serums can provide the same pigmentation benefits as a tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides. She also explains why Ponds Cold Cream is still a product she recommends and why dermatologists may not be the best resource for choosing every cosmetic skincare product.

Other topics include the BIORE UV Aqua Protect Mist and the challenges of getting consistent sunscreen coverage from sprays, persistent redness following CO2 laser treatment, whether tanning can actually be reversed, and the potential benefits of 10% glycolic acid body lotions.

Dr. Dray also addresses a common retinoid question: is tretinoin actually more potent than adapalene for anti-aging? She explains what "potency" actually means and why claims that tretinoin is inherently more potent than adapalene are not supported by the available evidence.

Can Your Diet Make Your Skin Age Faster? A Dermatologist Explains

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Can your diet actually make your skin age faster? Dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down the connection between nutrition and skin aging, including whether sugar really damages collagen, how glycation and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may contribute to skin aging, and whether you need to worry about the natural sugar found in fruit. Glycation and AGEs are an active area of research in skin aging, but the relationship is more complicated than simply saying that sugar "destroys collagen."

In this video, Dr. Dray explains what she would prioritize in a skin-supportive diet, including vegetables, whole fruit, legumes, whole grains, plant-based starches, protein, nuts, and seeds. She also discusses foods and dietary habits worth limiting, including processed meats, heavily charred foods, highly processed convenience foods, excessive sodium, and frequent snacking.

Dr. Dray also explains why she does not recommend fearing carbohydrates or eliminating fruit simply because it contains sugar, and why cooking more meals at home can make it easier to build a nourishing dietary pattern.

In this video:

• Can sugar cause skin aging and wrinkles?
• What is glycation and how does it affect collagen?
• Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and skin aging
• Why vegetables are important for healthy skin
• Why you don't need to fear whole fruit
• The benefits of beans, lentils, and other legumes
• Whole grains and nourishing carbohydrates
• Why potatoes, plantains, and cassava can be part of a healthy diet
• Red meat and processed meat
• Heavily charred foods and AGEs
• Why cooking at home can help improve your diet
• How much sodium are you getting?
• Constant snacking vs. nourishing meals
• Olive oil, nuts, and seeds
• Foods to eat more often for healthy aging
• How nutrition and overall health can influence your skin

14:13 Watch Your Sodium
16:41 Limit Snacking and Build Nourishing Meals
17:30 What About "Healthy Fats"?
19:10 Final Takeaway

The goal isn't to find one magical anti-aging food or follow an extremely restrictive diet. Instead, Dr. Dray focuses on building a dietary pattern around nutritious, minimally processed foods that support overall health and provide the nutrients the body and skin need as we age.

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Can you use retinoids on your neck? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why the neck can be much more sensitive to tretinoin, retinol, adapalene, and other retinoids than the face, and how to introduce a retinoid without causing unnecessary irritation, redness, peeling, or burning.

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses retinoids for neck aging, including how topical retinoids may improve signs of photoaging, fine lines, wrinkles, and texture. Clinical research has also investigated topical tretinoin for acanthosis nigricans, a condition that commonly causes darker, thicker, velvety skin on the neck.

The video also covers poikiloderma of Civatte and cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, two conditions associated with chronic sun damage that can affect the appearance and texture of the neck.

Dr. Dray explains how to start a retinoid on the neck, why a lower concentration or less frequent application may be appropriate, how moisturizer can help with tolerability, and why more irritation does not mean a retinoid is working better.

In this video:

• Can you use tretinoin on your neck?
• Retinol vs. tretinoin for neck aging
• Why the neck is more sensitive to retinoids
• How to introduce a retinoid to the neck
• How often should you use retinoids on your neck?
• Tretinoin for acanthosis nigricans
• Retinoids for poikiloderma of Civatte
• Cutis rhomboidalis nuchae and chronic sun damage
• How to minimize retinoid irritation
• Why sunscreen is essential for neck aging
• When dark or thickened neck skin should be evaluated by a dermatologist

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from followers about ingrown hairs and scars, nasolabial folds, tretinoin purging, Differin (adapalene), double cleansing, minoxidil foam, neck aging, alcohol-based sunscreens, Amlactin, and seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss.

Dr. Dray explains what can and cannot improve scars left behind by digging at ingrown hairs, treatment options for nasolabial folds, and why what looks like a tretinoin "purge" may actually be irritation or dryness. She also discusses switching from retinol to Differin, how micellar water works in a double cleansing routine, and why minoxidil foam can leave the hair feeling dry, stiff, or brittle.

The video also covers whether facial exercises can prevent platysmal bands and neck sagging, Dr. Dray's favorite alcohol-based gel sunscreen, why Amlactin Daily Nourish may have a runnier consistency, and whether seborrheic dermatitis can contribute to hair loss.

Do Salicylic Acid Cleansers Actually Work? | Dermatologist QandA

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from followers about salicylic acid cleansers, Cool Peel CO₂ laser treatments, sunscreen getting in the eyes, chalazion, sebaceous hyperplasia, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, collagen-boosting skincare, and eczema bumps.

Dr. Dray discusses whether salicylic acid cleansers can actually work despite being rinsed off, what to know about Cool Peel laser treatments compared with IPL, why sunscreen can be particularly uncomfortable when it gets into the eyes, and whether an eye examination could cause a long-standing chalazion to resolve.

She also explains why topical retinoids may not be particularly effective for removing sebaceous hyperplasia, what ingredients may help dark spots left behind after irritation, whether it is possible to "max out" the collagen-boosting benefits of skincare ingredients, and why some people with eczema develop small, fluid-filled bumps on their skin.

TIMESTAMPS

0:00 Intro
0:13 Are Salicylic Acid Cleansers Effective?
1:17 Cool Peel Laser Treatment at 75
2:50 Sunscreen in the Eyes and Blurry Vision

7:00 Dark Pigmentation After Compression Sock Irritation
8:26 Can You Max Out on Collagen-Boosting Ingredients?
11:39 Why Do Pimples or Bumps Appear on Eczema?
13:22 Outro

Salicylic acid is an established acne ingredient and can be effective in cleanser formulations, although leave-on products may provide a stronger or more prolonged exposure.

For sunscreen around the eyes, the American Academy of Dermatology specifically recommends sunscreen sticks as an option because they are less likely to drip into the eyes.

Menopause Hair Loss: Can HRT Help or Make It Worse? | Dermatologist Explains

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Code DRDRAY4TH https://glnk.io/5xmkn/dr-andreasuarez48m to save $905 iRESTORE Elite — Early Labor Day Sale

Hair loss during perimenopause and menopause is incredibly common, but not all menopausal hair loss has the same cause. In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the connection between menopause, hormones, HRT, and hair loss, including why thinning hair does not automatically mean that hormone replacement therapy is the right treatment.

Dr. Dray discusses the most common causes of hair loss around menopause, including female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, and frontal fibrosing alopecia, as well as how declining estrogen and changes in androgen activity can affect the hair follicle.

The video also explores whether HRT can help menopausal hair loss, whether HRT can potentially contribute to hair shedding, and which evidence-based treatments may actually help with thinning hair.

Dr. Dray also discusses low-level light therapy for hair loss and shares information about the iRESTORE Elite, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive, drug-free device designed to deliver low-level red light therapy to the scalp.

In this video:

00:00 Introduction
00:27 Why hair loss becomes more noticeable around menopause
01:22 Low-level light therapy and iRESTORE Elite
06:05 What happens to your hormones during menopause?
07:03 What does estrogen have to do with hair?
07:59 Female pattern hair loss
09:46 Not all menopausal hair loss is female pattern hair loss
12:18 Can HRT help with hair loss?
14:05 Can HRT actually make hair loss worse?
15:19 What can actually help menopausal hair loss?
16:29 When should you see a dermatologist?
18:33 Final takeaway

Hair loss can have many different causes, and identifying the correct type of hair loss is an important first step toward choosing an appropriate treatment. Women experiencing sudden or significant shedding, bald patches, scalp inflammation, eyebrow loss, or progressive hairline recession should consider seeing a dermatologist for evaluation.

How Often Should You Really Exfoliate Your Skin?

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

How often should you really exfoliate your skin? In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how often to exfoliate, the difference between chemical and physical exfoliation, and how to tell when your skin is being over-exfoliated.

Exfoliation can help improve rough texture, clogged pores, keratosis pilaris, flaky skin, and the appearance of uneven skin tone. But exfoliating too frequently or combining multiple exfoliating methods can disrupt the skin barrier and lead to dryness, burning, stinging, redness, peeling, and worsening of certain skin conditions.

Dr. Dray explains why everyday habits such as shaving, using a washcloth, and cleansing can contribute to the overall amount of physical stress on the skin, even though they may not be thought of as traditional exfoliation. She also discusses the importance of regular moisturizing for supporting the skin barrier and normal shedding of dead skin cells.

The video also covers how exfoliation needs can change with aging and menopause, when skin may become drier and rougher but also more sensitive and fragile.

Topics covered:

0:00 Introduction
0:34 What Does Exfoliation Actually Do?
1:38 Chemical Exfoliation
3:10 Mechanical Exfoliation
5:02 How Often Should You Exfoliate?
6:15 The Benefits of Exfoliation
6:51 When Exfoliation Becomes Too Much
7:37 Don't Stack Exfoliants
8:11 Don't Forget Moisturizer
10:33 What About Menopause and Aging?
12:12 What Should You Do If You've Over-Exfoliated?
12:41 Final Points

Whether someone uses glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, a facial scrub, a washcloth, or simply shaves regularly, the ideal exfoliation routine depends on the individual and how their skin responds.

Key takeaway: There is no universal answer for how often to exfoliate. Some people may benefit from exfoliating once or twice a week, while others can tolerate more frequent exfoliation. Some people may not need to exfoliate at all. Paying attention to skin sensitivity and maintaining a healthy skin barrier are essential.

PRP vs PRF: Which Is Better for Hair Loss and Skin Rejuvenation?

Sun, 25 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down PRP vs PRF, including how these platelet-based treatments work, what the research shows for hair loss, facial rejuvenation, wrinkles, skin texture, and under-eye concerns, and whether they are actually worth the cost.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, and PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, are increasingly popular cosmetic and hair loss treatments. PRF is often marketed as a newer or more advanced version of PRP, but does the evidence actually show that PRF is better?

In this video, Dr. Dray explains the differences between platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), why PRP is not a standardized treatment, and how preparation methods can affect the final product.

She also discusses the current evidence for:

• PRP for androgenetic alopecia and hair loss
• PRF for hair growth
• PRP for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging
• PRF for wrinkles, skin texture, and elasticity
• PRP and PRF for the under-eye area
• Whether PRF is actually better than PRP
• What to ask before spending money on PRP or PRF treatments
• How realistic the results are for hair loss and cosmetic rejuvenation

While there is legitimate research supporting potential benefits from PRP, particularly for androgenetic alopecia, the evidence for PRF is less mature. Research on both treatments for facial rejuvenation is also limited by small studies, differences in preparation methods, and a lack of standardized treatment protocols.

Dr. Dray also explains why a biologically plausible mechanism does not necessarily mean that a treatment is clinically superior, and why consumers should be cautious about marketing claims that PRF is automatically the "next generation" or a dramatically better alternative to PRP.

1:40 PRP Is Not One Thing
2:27 What Is PRF?

9:24 PRP vs PRF: Which Is Better?
10:24 Is PRP or PRF Worth the Money?

12:54 Final Takeaway

Bottom line: PRP and PRF are not pure hype, but neither should be considered a miracle treatment. PRP currently has a more established evidence base for certain types of hair loss, while PRF is promising but still requires more research. For cosmetic skin rejuvenation, both treatments may offer benefits, but the evidence is not strong enough to say that one is universally superior.

As always, Dr. Dray recommends discussing hair loss and cosmetic treatment options with a qualified medical professional who can evaluate individual circumstances and set realistic expectations.

Amlactin vs. Glycolic Acid: Which Is Better for Anti-Aging?

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Is AmLactin or glycolic acid better for anti-aging? Dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down the science behind these two popular alpha hydroxy acids and explains why the answer depends on the concentration, formulation, pH, and whether the product is being used at home or as an in-office chemical peel.

In this video, Dr. Dray compares 12% ammonium lactate, such as AmLactin Daily 12% Lotion, with glycolic acid specifically for anti-aging. She explains what the clinical research shows about epidermal and dermal thickness, collagen-related changes, exfoliation, skin texture, and the important differences between professional glycolic acid peels and over-the-counter glycolic acid skincare products.

She also discusses human clinical studies suggesting that 12% ammonium lactate may provide benefits beyond superficial exfoliation, including effects on both the epidermis and dermis. Dr. Dray explains why this makes 12% ammonium lactate an interesting option for an at-home anti-aging skincare routine.

In this video:

00:00 Introduction
00:59 What are AmLactin and glycolic acid?
03:13 Why glycolic acid is popular for chemical peels
05:51 What about 12% ammonium lactate at home?
07:50 Why does dermal thickness matter?
09:36 AmLactin and steroid-induced skin atrophy
12:04 Is AmLactin better than glycolic acid?
12:54 The problem with comparing skincare ingredients
14:40 What about glycolic acid at home?
16:33 Other anti-aging ingredients to consider
19:59 The bottom line

AmLactin vs. Glycolic Acid for Anti-Aging

Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size than lactic acid and can penetrate the skin efficiently. At high concentrations used in professional chemical peels, glycolic acid can produce significant exfoliation and dermal remodeling.

However, those high-strength glycolic acid peels should not be confused with typical over-the-counter glycolic acid serums and lotions. Concentration, pH, formulation, and contact time all influence how an AHA behaves in the skin.

For at-home skincare, 12% ammonium lactate has particularly interesting human clinical evidence. Research has demonstrated changes in epidermal and dermal thickness with 12% lactic acid, while another human study found that 12% ammonium lactate helped spare against corticosteroid-induced atrophy in both the epidermis and dermis.

That does not mean AmLactin is equivalent to a professional glycolic acid peel, or that it will dramatically reverse wrinkles. However, the research suggests that 12% ammonium lactate may have effects that extend beyond simple surface exfoliation.

Dr. Dray also discusses other evidence-based anti-aging ingredients, including retinoids, tretinoin, retinaldehyde, retinol, adapalene, and topical vitamin C, as well as the importance of daily sun protection for preventing photoaging.

Can Ozempic and Wegovy Improve Your Skin? Skin Benefits of GLP-1s

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Can GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide actually improve inflammatory skin diseases? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explores the emerging research connecting GLP-1 medications, weight loss, metabolic health, and inflammation, including what this could mean for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

GLP-1 medications are best known for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, but researchers are increasingly investigating their potential effects on inflammation. This video explains why adipose tissue can contribute to systemic inflammation, how GLP-1 signaling may influence inflammatory pathways, and whether improvements in skin disease can occur beyond the effects of weight loss.

Dr. Dray discusses the latest evidence, including the TOGETHER-PsO trial, which investigated tirzepatide in people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and overweight or obesity, as well as emerging research on GLP-1 medications and hidradenitis suppurativa.

The video also covers:

• What GLP-1 medications are and how they work
• Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide
• Why obesity and inflammation are connected
• GLP-1 medications and psoriasis
• Tirzepatide and psoriasis clearance
• GLP-1 medications and psoriatic arthritis
• GLP-1 medications and hidradenitis suppurativa
• Whether GLP-1s have anti-inflammatory effects beyond weight loss
• Why metabolic health matters in inflammatory skin disease
• Whether everyone with psoriasis or HS should take a GLP-1
• Common GLP-1 side effects and risks
• Why GLP-1 medications require medical supervision
• What happens when GLP-1 medications are discontinued

Can Eating More Fiber Improve Your Skin? | Dermatologist Explains

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Fiber may be doing much more than supporting digestion. In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the emerging science behind the gut-skin axis and how dietary fiber may influence the gut microbiome, inflammation, immune function, metabolic health, and potentially skin health.

When gut bacteria ferment fiber, they produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These compounds can influence immune signaling and may play a role in maintaining the skin barrier and regulating inflammation.

Dr. Dray discusses what the research currently shows about fiber and eczema, psoriasis, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions, while separating promising mechanisms from what has actually been demonstrated in human clinical studies.

The video also explains why fiber may be relevant to acne through its relationship with blood sugar, insulin, IGF-1, and dietary glycemic load, and why a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern keeps appearing in discussions about gut and skin health.

Dr. Dray also shares practical advice for increasing fiber intake without triggering excessive bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort, including how to gradually introduce foods such as beans, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

In this video:

11:19 How Much Fiber Should You Eat?
12:45 How to Increase Fiber Without Feeling Awful
13:45 What About Inflammatory Skin Disease?
20:12 Final Takeaway

Key topics covered:

• Dietary fiber and skin health
• The gut-skin axis
• Gut microbiome and skin
• Short-chain fatty acids and butyrate
• Fiber and inflammation
• Fiber and eczema
• Fiber and psoriasis
• Fiber and acne
• Insulin, IGF-1 and acne
• Mediterranean diet and skin health
• How much fiber to eat
• Whole food sources of fiber
• How to increase fiber gradually
• Fiber supplements and highly processed high-fiber foods

Dr. Dray emphasizes that fiber is not a treatment or cure for inflammatory skin diseases. While laboratory, animal, and observational research provides interesting evidence connecting fiber, the microbiome, immune regulation, and skin inflammation, more high-quality human clinical trials are needed to determine how much increasing fiber intake can actually influence conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

The goal is not to find a highly processed food simply because it is labeled "high fiber." Instead, Dr. Dray discusses the benefits of getting fiber from a variety of whole plant foods, which also provide vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and other compounds that interact with the gut microbiome.

If you're interested in gut health, skin health, eczema, psoriasis, acne, nutrition, the microbiome, or the connection between diet and skin, this video provides an evidence-based look at what researchers currently know about fiber and the skin.

7 Skin Signs That Could Reveal a Health Problem | Dermatologist Explains

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

What can your skin reveal about your overall health?

In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains 7 skin, hair, and nail changes that can sometimes provide clues about what is happening inside the body. While these findings are not diagnoses on their own, certain changes can be associated with underlying metabolic, hormonal, nutritional, autoimmune, liver, kidney, thyroid, heart, or lung conditions.

From dark, velvety skin on the neck and insulin resistance to yellow skin and jaundice, Dr. Dray explains what dermatologists look for when examining the skin, nails, and other visible signs of systemic health.

The video covers:

• Acanthosis nigricans and its connection to insulin resistance, diabetes, and metabolic health
• Skin tags and their association with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
• Xanthelasma, xanthomas, cholesterol, and triglycerides
• Yellowing of the skin and eyes and possible causes of jaundice
• Nail clubbing and potential associations with heart and lung disease
• Dermatomyositis, heliotrope rash, and Gottron papules
• Spoon-shaped nails and possible iron deficiency
• Generalized itching without a rash and potential systemic causes involving the kidneys, liver, thyroid, and blood

Dr. Dray also explains why these findings should be viewed as clues rather than diagnoses, and why a new, persistent, or rapidly changing skin or nail finding deserves medical attention.

Your Diet Could Be Making Your Skin Inflammation Worse

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Can your diet make inflammation worse? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how dietary patterns may influence inflammatory skin diseases including eczema, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and what the research actually tells us about food, inflammation, and skin health.

This video takes a closer look at the connection between sodium and inflammatory skin disease, including research linking higher sodium intake with increased eczema risk, active flares, and disease severity. Dr. Dray also discusses sugar and refined carbohydrates, processed and red meat, metabolic health, weight loss and hidradenitis suppurativa, and the evidence surrounding Mediterranean and plant-based diets.

Rather than promoting an extreme "anti-inflammatory diet" or restrictive elimination diet, Dr. Dray discusses practical ways to build a more nourishing dietary pattern, including eating vegetables frequently, incorporating legumes, choosing whole grains and minimally processed starches, eating whole fruit, limiting added sugar and refined carbohydrates, reducing processed meats, and paying attention to sodium intake.

In this video:

00:00 Can your diet make inflammation worse?
01:09 High-salt diets and inflammatory skin disease
04:32 Sugar, refined carbohydrates and inflammation
07:54 Red meat, processed meat and inflammation
08:53 Hidradenitis suppurativa and diet
12:53 What should someone with inflammatory skin disease actually eat?
15:17 Why you shouldn't fear whole fruit
16:01 Sodium and processed foods
18:01 Final takeaways

Dr. Dray also explains why diet should be viewed as one part of managing inflammatory skin disease, rather than a replacement for appropriate medical treatment. Eczema, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa are complex inflammatory conditions, and dietary changes should not be used in place of care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Topics covered: inflammatory skin disease, diet and inflammation, eczema diet, psoriasis diet, hidradenitis suppurativa diet, HS diet, sodium and eczema, salt and inflammation, sugar and inflammation, processed foods, red meat and inflammation, Mediterranean diet, plant-based diet, metabolic health, nutrition and skin health, food and skin inflammation.

Best Treatment for Dry, Cracked Heels? A Dermatologist Explains

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Kerasal Intensive Foot Ointment: https://amzlink.to/az05VWDfND6wS

Struggling with dry, rough, or cracked heels? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why urea is one of the most useful skincare ingredients for treating dry, thickened skin on the feet and what to look for when choosing a foot cream or ointment.

Urea is a humectant that helps the skin retain moisture. At higher concentrations, it also acts as a keratolytic, helping soften and loosen excess thickened skin. This makes urea particularly useful for rough, callused heels that are prone to cracking.

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses how urea works, which concentrations may be helpful for dry and rough feet, and why the formulation matters just as much as the active ingredients. She also explains other potential causes of cracked heels, including mechanical stress, aging, keratoderma climactericum associated with menopause, eczema, psoriasis, and athlete's foot.

People with diabetes should take particular care of their feet because cracks can increase the risk of infection, especially when neuropathy or circulation problems are present.

Dr. Dray also reviews Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair Ointment, a product she likes for thick, rough heels. Its combination of urea, salicylic acid, and an ointment vehicle helps hydrate and soften thickened skin while reducing moisture loss.

Discover why urea is worth looking for in foot care products, how ointments compare with creams and lotions, and how to care for dry, cracked heels without relying on aggressive exfoliation or marketing claims.

AmLactin vs. AlphaRet: Which Is Better for Anti-Aging? | Dermatologist Explains

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Amlactin 12% Daily Nourish Lotion: https://amzlink.to/az0r9ArzAFr9W

Can an affordable drugstore lotion help improve the appearance of aging skin? Dermatologist Dr. Dray compares 12% ammonium lactate in AmLactin Daily Lotion with the popular Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream to explore what research reveals about skin thickness, wrinkles, collagen, and photoaging.

In this video, Dr. Dray explains the science behind alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids, including the clinical evidence for AlphaRet and the human research on lactic acid and ammonium lactate. She discusses how these ingredients may affect the epidermis and dermis, and why the results of a finished skincare product do not necessarily prove which individual ingredient is responsible for its benefits.

Topics covered include:

• AmLactin Daily 12% ammonium lactate: Research on skin thickness, texture, and dermal changes
• Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream: What clinical studies show about wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and photoaging
• Ethyl lactyl retinoate: Understanding AlphaRet's proprietary AHA retinoid conjugate and the unanswered questions about its individual effects
• Lactic acid for wrinkles: Human research examining epidermal and dermal thickness, firmness, and skin smoothness
• Ammonium lactate vs. lactic acid: Important differences between the ingredients and the studies evaluating them
• Tretinoin for photoaging: How prescription retinoids compare with alpha hydroxy acid treatments
• Affordable anti-aging skincare: Whether a drugstore body lotion deserves more attention for improving rough texture and the appearance of aging skin

Dr. Dray also discusses the limitations of the available research, why ammonium lactate should not automatically be considered a replacement for tretinoin, and why expensive skincare formulations can make it difficult to determine which ingredients are responsible for visible improvements.

Although AmLactin is commonly used on the body, its 12% ammonium lactate formulation may cause stinging or irritation, particularly in people with sensitive skin, eczema, rosacea, or a compromised skin barrier. Not every body lotion is appropriate for facial use.

The Gut-Skin Connection: Can Your Gut Microbiome Improve Your Skin?

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Can the gut microbiome affect your skin? In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the science behind the gut-skin connection, including how gut bacteria may influence inflammation, inflammatory skin diseases, and even responses to melanoma immunotherapy.

The gut microbiome plays an important role in immune function, intestinal barrier health, and the production of short-chain fatty acids that can influence inflammation throughout the body. Researchers are increasingly investigating how changes in the gut microbiome, sometimes called dysbiosis, may be associated with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, hidradenitis suppurativa, lupus, and vitiligo.

But what does the research actually show? And can probiotics or commercial microbiome testing really help improve skin health?

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses the current evidence on the gut-skin axis, the potential role of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, and practical ways to support a healthy gut microbiome through diet and lifestyle. She also explains why associations between the microbiome and skin disease do not necessarily prove cause and effect, and why microbiome testing and probiotic supplements should be approached with caution.

IN THIS VIDEO:

0:00 The gut-skin connection and why it matters

0:46 What is the gut microbiome?

1:48 What is dysbiosis?

2:39 The gut microbiome and inflammatory skin diseases

5:43 Can a stool test tell you what is wrong with your skin?

6:12 Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics

8:25 How to support your gut microbiome through diet and lifestyle

11:07 The bottom line: What the research really tells us

CAN THE GUT MICROBIOME AFFECT SKIN CONDITIONS?

Research has identified associations between changes in the gut microbiome and several inflammatory skin conditions, including:

Atopic dermatitis (eczema)

Psoriasis

Acne

Rosacea

Hidradenitis suppurativa

Lupus

Vitiligo

Scientists are also investigating how the gut microbiome may influence the immune system's response to melanoma immunotherapy. These findings could eventually help researchers better understand disease risk and treatment response, although much more research is needed before microbiome-based approaches can routinely guide dermatologic care.

DO PROBIOTICS HELP SKIN HEALTH?

Some studies suggest that certain probiotic strains may provide modest benefits for selected people with atopic dermatitis, but results have been inconsistent. Evidence is still developing for other skin conditions, and the benefits of one probiotic strain cannot automatically be applied to every supplement.

Dr. Dray also explains why a varied, fiber-rich diet containing vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds is a practical way to support gut microbial diversity and function, without chasing an idealized microbiome.

IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY: The gut microbiome is an exciting area of dermatology research, but it is not a replacement for evidence-based skin treatments. Commercial stool tests cannot currently diagnose the cause of most skin diseases or reliably determine which treatment an individual needs.

Can Adapalene Cause Facial Fat Loss? Dermatologist QandA

Mon, 19 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers audience questions about retinoids, retinaldehyde, adapinoid, HPR, vitamin C derivatives, collagen production, sunscreen expiration, seborrheic dermatitis, Volufine, facial antiperspirants, skin tags, adapalene, LED masks for acne, makeup expiration, and deodorant options for sensitive skin.

Dr. Dray also discusses the claims surrounding so-called dual retinoid products, including retinaldehyde combined with adapinoid or hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), and explains what the research actually supports about these cosmetic retinoid alternatives.

Other topics include whether THD ascorbate and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate can build collagen like topical ascorbic acid, whether Centella asiatica enhances collagen production, how to interpret sunscreen expiration dates, whether long-term doxycycline can cause seborrheic dermatitis, and whether topical products such as Volufine can actually restore lost facial volume.

For acne, Dr. Dray explains the evidence behind blue and red LED light therapy, and discusses why Epiduo may or may not make sense for anti-aging depending on whether acne treatment is also needed.

The video also covers adapalene and facial fat loss, expired makeup, facial and scalp antiperspirants, and alternatives for people who develop irritation from aluminum-containing antiperspirants.

Peptides for Skin: Which Ones Actually Work? Dermatologist Explains

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Are peptides really the secret to younger-looking skin, or is “Botox in a bottle” mostly clever skincare marketing? In this dermatologist-led review, Dr. Dray breaks down the science behind peptides for skin, including which topical peptides have the most interesting evidence and whether peptide serums are actually worth the money.

Dr. Dray explains what peptides are, how they may influence collagen production and skin remodeling, and why different peptides can have very different effects.

This video covers popular anti-aging peptides including:

• GHK-Cu / copper peptides and their potential benefits for skin firmness, elasticity, fine lines, and skin quality
• Matrixyl / palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 and collagen-signaling peptides
• Matrixyl 3000 and other collagen-supporting peptides
• Argireline / acetyl hexapeptide-8, often marketed as “Botox in a bottle”
• Leuphasyl and SYN-AKE and how their evidence compares
• Why peptide formulation, concentration, stability, and skin penetration matter
• Whether topical peptide serums are actually worth buying

Dr. Dray also discusses the growing trend of injectable peptides for anti-aging and longevity, including compounds such as BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, Humanin, and Epithalon. She explains the important difference between promising laboratory or animal research and the large, long-term human clinical trials needed to establish safety and effectiveness.

The video also addresses an important question: Are peptides better than retinoids, sunscreen, and other established anti-aging skincare ingredients? Dr. Dray explains where peptide skincare may fit into an evidence-based anti-aging routine and why realistic expectations are important.

Topics covered:

00:00 Peptides in skincare: hype vs. evidence
00:45 What are peptides?
01:38 Collagen-building peptides and Matrixyl
03:07 Copper peptides / GHK-Cu
05:04 Matrixyl 3000 and other collagen peptides
05:52 “Botox in a bottle” and Argireline
06:54 Why peptide skincare formulation matters
08:11 Injectable peptides for anti-aging and longevity
10:38 Are peptide serums worth it?
11:29 Dr. Dray’s peptide ranking
12:22 Final thoughts on peptide skincare

Bottom line: Peptides are not a single miracle ingredient. Some topical peptides have promising human clinical evidence, while others have much more limited data. GHK-Cu and Matrixyl are among the peptide ingredients Dr. Dray finds most interesting, while products marketed as “Botox in a bottle” deserve more realistic expectations.

REMEDY Hydrating Serum Review: Does It Actually Work?

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray reviews the REMEDY Multi-Depth Moisture Advanced Hydrating Serum, a lightweight hydrating serum formulated with glycerin, ectoin, polyglutamic acid, beta glucan, peptides, Lactobacillus ferment, and superoxide dismutase.

In this review, Dr. Dray discusses the serum's ingredients, texture, hydration benefits, how it performs under sunscreen, whether it works well alongside topical retinoids, its use around the eyes, potential benefits for fine lines and dehydrated skin, irritation potential, and whether the approximately $17 to $20 price point makes it worth considering.

The serum provides lightweight hydration without a greasy or heavy finish and may be particularly appealing for combination skin, dehydrated skin, people using topical retinoids, and anyone looking for additional skin barrier support during seasonal changes.

The formula combines several well-known hydrating and skin-supportive ingredients, including glycerin, ectoin, polyglutamic acid, beta glucan, peptides, Lactobacillus ferment, and superoxide dismutase. Dr. Dray also explains what these ingredients can realistically do for the skin and why topical peptides should not be compared to injectable Botox.

The review also discusses using a hydrating serum with retinoids, how hydration can temporarily improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and why maintaining skin barrier function can make an active skincare routine more comfortable and sustainable.

As always, individual results can vary, and no skincare product is guaranteed to work for everyone. Introducing new skincare products one at a time can make it easier to identify irritation or sensitivity.

Why Your Skincare Is Pilling (And How to Stop It)

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

If your skincare keeps pilling, this video from dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why it happens and how to stop those annoying little balls and flakes from forming on the skin. New research suggests that pilling is influenced not only by the products being used, but also by skin hydration, oiliness, pH, skin texture, product layering, and application technique.

The study discussed in this video found that sunscreen was the biggest promoter of pilling, particularly when applied over another skincare product. The research also found that rubbing products into the skin, especially with back-and-forth or circular motions, was associated with more pilling.

Dr. Dray discusses what skincare pilling actually means, whether pilling indicates that skincare is not absorbing, why the same sunscreen may pill on one person but not another, whether you should wait between skincare products, and how to apply sunscreen without disrupting the protective film.

The video also explains why simplifying a skincare routine, using appropriate amounts of product, allowing products to settle, and gently spreading or pressing products into the skin may help reduce pilling.

Pilling does not necessarily mean that a skincare product is ineffective or that you have chosen the wrong products. The interaction between the formulation, your skin, the amount applied, the products underneath, and your application technique can all play a role.

Most importantly, pilling is not a reason to skip sunscreen. If sunscreen is causing pilling, changing the products underneath it and adjusting application technique may help.

If you've experienced skincare pilling, Dr. Dray would love to know which products tend to pill for you and what tricks have helped.

Do You Actually Need Vitamin C Serum? A Dermatologist Explains

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down the science behind topical vitamin C, including what vitamin C does for the skin, how it may help with wrinkles, collagen production, photoaging, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation, and whether a vitamin C serum is actually necessary for an effective skincare routine.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that can help neutralize free radicals generated by UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental exposures. It also plays an important role in collagen synthesis and may help reduce melanin production, making it an interesting ingredient for both anti-aging skincare and hyperpigmentation.

But how strong is the clinical evidence? And is vitamin C actually better than ingredients like tretinoin, retinoids, niacinamide, hydroquinone, or sunscreen?

Dr. Dray discusses the research, the limitations of vitamin C studies, the importance of formulation and stability, potential skin irritation, and whether expensive vitamin C serums are worth the money.

In this video:

0:00 Introduction
0:36 What does vitamin C actually do?
2:34 Vitamin C and collagen production
4:07 How good is the evidence for topical vitamin C?
5:30 Vitamin C vs. more established skincare ingredients

10:17 Why vitamin C formulation and stability matter
13:43 Downsides of topical vitamin C: irritation and cost
16:04 Does anyone actually need vitamin C?
16:38 Final thoughts

Vitamin C for skin: the bottom line

Topical vitamin C is not a scam, but it is also not a mandatory step in everyone's skincare routine.

Clinical research supports potential benefits for photoaging, fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and hyperpigmentation, but the overall evidence base is still relatively limited. Studies use different concentrations, formulations, and delivery systems, making it difficult to determine exactly which vitamin C product or derivative is best.

Vitamin C can also be challenging to formulate because pure ascorbic acid is unstable, and higher concentrations may cause stinging, dryness, redness, or irritation.

For someone building an evidence-based skincare routine, Dr. Dray emphasizes prioritizing proven fundamentals, particularly daily sunscreen and, when appropriate, topical retinoids. Vitamin C can be a useful addition, but it does not need to be included simply because it is popular.

The video also discusses why dramatic before-and-after photos from vitamin C studies should be interpreted carefully, particularly when study participants are also instructed to use sunscreen consistently.

How to Prevent Yeast Infections | Dermatologist Explains

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

How can you prevent yeast infections? What actually causes vaginal yeast infections, and are there things you can do to reduce your risk? In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how to prevent yeast infections, what can increase the risk of vaginal yeast infections, and which commonly recommended prevention strategies may not have much evidence behind them.

Dr. Dray discusses vulvovaginal candidiasis, including common yeast infection symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, irritation, redness, swelling, and thick white discharge. She also explains why these symptoms are not specific to yeast infections and can overlap with conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and irritant or allergic reactions.

The video covers practical ways to lower the risk of yeast infections, including avoiding douching and unnecessary vaginal products, avoiding scented products, keeping the vulvar area dry, changing out of sweaty clothing, choosing breathable clothing, and understanding how antibiotics, diabetes, blood sugar, pregnancy, and hormones can influence yeast infection risk.

Dr. Dray also addresses common yeast infection myths, including whether sugar causes yeast infections, whether you need a restrictive Candida diet, and whether probiotics or yogurt can prevent vaginal yeast infections.

Most importantly, this video explains when recurrent yeast infection symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional, rather than repeatedly treating symptoms with over-the-counter antifungal medication.

Why Your Hyperpigmentation Won’t Go Away | Dermatologist Explains

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Hyperpigmentation is not always simply a dark mark left behind after inflammation. In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) may sometimes coexist with ongoing inflammation, even when the skin appears clear on the surface.

This is particularly important for people with darker skin tones, where inflammation and erythema may be less visually obvious. Dr. Dray explains how persistent inflammation from acne, eczema, contact dermatitis, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions can contribute to stubborn hyperpigmentation and why treating the underlying condition is an important part of improving dark spots.

The video also covers why constantly trying new skincare products can backfire, how irritation can worsen hyperpigmentation, why picking and squeezing acne can lead to darker marks, and why caution is needed with at-home microneedling and IPL devices.

Dr. Dray also discusses the rationale behind the Kligman formula and Tri-Luma, including why fluocinolone acetonide is combined with hydroquinone and tretinoin, and how its anti-inflammatory properties can help limit irritation while contributing to the overall treatment approach.

Finally, the video explains why sun protection is essential for hyperpigmentation and melasma, including the potential benefits of tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides for visible light protection.

Topics covered

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and ongoing inflammation
• Hyperpigmentation after acne and eczema
• PIH in darker skin tones
• Why inflammation may be difficult to see
• Acne maintenance treatment and dark spots
• Eczema, contact dermatitis and rosacea
• Skincare irritation and hyperpigmentation
• Picking and squeezing acne
• At-home microneedling risks
• At-home IPL and hyperpigmentation
• Kligman formula and Tri-Luma
• Hydroquinone, tretinoin and fluocinolone
• Tinted sunscreen and iron oxides
• Visible light and hyperpigmentation
• How to prevent worsening dark spots

TIMESTAMPS

0:00 Introduction: Is PIH Really "Post-Inflammatory"?
1:35 What Is Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation?
4:00 Can Dark Marks Hide Ongoing Inflammation?
6:00 Why This Matters for Acne
8:06 Eczema, Contact Dermatitis and Rosacea
10:09 Why Trying Too Many Products Can Backfire
11:43 Why You Shouldn't Pick or Squeeze
12:29 Risks of At-Home Microneedling and IPL
14:11 Why Does Tri-Luma Contain a Steroid?
16:20 Sunscreen and Visible Light Protection
17:50 Final Takeaway

If you're struggling with stubborn hyperpigmentation, acne dark spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this video explains why treating pigment alone may not always address the underlying problem.

The key takeaway is that clear-looking skin does not always mean that inflammatory activity has completely resolved. Consistent treatment of the underlying skin condition, avoiding unnecessary irritation and trauma, and diligent sun protection can all play an important role in managing hyperpigmentation.

Do You Really Need to Wash Your Face Twice a Day?

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

How often should you wash your face? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how often to cleanse your skin, whether you really need to wash your face twice a day, and what happens when you cleanse too much.

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses face washing, skin cleansing, the skin barrier, dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, and nighttime skincare. She also addresses a common skincare misconception: you do not necessarily need to wash off everything you applied the night before.

Should you wash off moisturizer in the morning? What about petroleum jelly? Do you need to wash off tretinoin? And does cleansing twice a day actually improve your skin?

Dr. Dray explains when twice-daily cleansing may be beneficial, when once-daily evening cleansing may be enough, and how factors such as oil production, acne, sweating, sunscreen, makeup, eczema, dryness, and skin sensitivity can influence your ideal cleansing routine.

She also explains how harsh cleansers, hot water, excessive washing, scrubbing, and abrasive cleansing tools can contribute to skin barrier disruption, dryness, irritation, and sensitivity.

In this video:

0:00 Introduction
0:25 What does cleansing actually do?
2:21 Who benefits most from washing twice a day?
4:21 What about normal, dry, or sensitive skin?
5:55 How the skin barrier changes the equation
7:36 Do you need to wash off nighttime skincare?
9:43 What about tretinoin and other retinoids?
10:48 Why sunscreen makes nighttime cleansing important
11:40 What if you work out in the morning?
12:33 How to tell if you're cleansing too much
14:25 Final takeaway
15:49 Outro

Dr. Dray also discusses why more cleansing is not necessarily better, why the evening cleanse is often the most important cleanse for dry or sensitive skin, and how to build a cleansing routine that supports rather than disrupts the skin barrier.

Does Salicylic Acid Cause Purging? Dermatologist QandA

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray answers more skincare questions from viewers, covering colloidal oatmeal, retinoid purging, glycolic acid, salicylic acid cleansers, minoxidil, veinous lakes, and skin tightening after weight loss.

In this skincare Q and A, Dr. Dray explains the difference between colloidal oatmeal and Avena Sativa (oat) meal extract, whether switching from tazarotene to tretinoin can cause breakouts, and what determines how strongly a 10% glycolic acid body product exfoliates.

She also discusses treatment options for mild loose or lax skin after significant weight loss, whether veinous lakes on the lips are related to sun exposure, and why salicylic acid cleansers can still exfoliate the skin even though they are rinsed off.

Several questions address the relationship between salicylic acid and minoxidil, including an important distinction between salicylic acid and aspirin. Dr. Dray also explains why "purging" is often incorrectly blamed for breakouts and irritation from skincare products.

In this video:

• Colloidal oatmeal vs. Avena Sativa oat extract
• Can you use colloidal oatmeal every day?
• Tazarotene vs. tretinoin and breakouts
• Is retinoid purging actually a thing?
• Using 10% glycolic acid on the body
• What determines the strength of glycolic acid exfoliation?
• Skin tightening after major weight loss
• RF, ultrasound, microneedling and cosmetic skin tightening
• Are veinous lakes on the lips caused by sun damage?

Does Your Skin Get Used to Retinol? The Truth About Skincare “Resistance”

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Does your skin really get “used to” skincare ingredients? In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the difference between skin tolerance and true resistance, with a focus on topical retinoids like tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene, and trifarotene.

Many people wonder why a skincare ingredient that once worked so well seems less effective over time, especially when acne starts coming back after years of successful retinoid use. Dr. Dray explains why this does not necessarily mean the skin has become resistant to the ingredient, and why topical retinoids can continue to be effective as long-term acne maintenance treatments.

The video covers why acne can return while using tretinoin, how changes in hormones, treatment consistency, irritation, skincare routines, and acne patterns can affect results, and why a plateau in visible improvement is not necessarily the same as treatment failure.

Dr. Dray also discusses whether people need to switch retinoids, how to recognize when irritation is being mistaken for worsening acne, and why “my skin got used to it” is often an overly simplistic explanation for changes in skincare results.

Are Gel Manicures Damaging Your Nails? A Dermatologist Explains

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Can gel manicures, acrylic nails, press-on nails, and traditional nail polish damage the nails or cause skin problems? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the most important dermatologic hazards associated with nail products, including allergic contact dermatitis, acrylate and methacrylate allergy, HEMA allergy, nail damage, onycholysis, nail discoloration, and UV exposure from gel nail lamps.

Allergic contact dermatitis is one of the most well-documented complications of nail products. It can cause itching, redness, scaling, swelling, blisters, paronychia, fingertip eczema, nail dystrophy, and separation of the nail from the nail bed. Importantly, a nail-product allergy does not always appear around the nails. Allergens can be transferred from the fingers to the eyelids, face, neck, and other areas of the skin, making nail products an often-overlooked cause of persistent dermatitis.

The video also discusses acrylates and methacrylates, including HEMA, which are important causes of allergic contact dermatitis associated with gel and artificial nails. Once someone becomes sensitized, exposure to related acrylate-containing materials in other settings may also become clinically relevant.

Repeated manicures can also contribute to nail plate thinning, onycholysis, nail dystrophy, white discoloration, yellow or orange staining, and other nail changes. These changes can sometimes resemble nail fungus or nail psoriasis.

Gel manicures also raise questions about exposure to UVA radiation from curing lamps. Current evidence regarding the long-term skin cancer risk from UV nail lamps remains limited and conflicting, but the video discusses practical ways to reduce cumulative UV exposure.

Does Spironolactone Lower Libido? A Dermatologist Explains

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

If you take spironolactone for acne, hair loss, or unwanted facial hair, you may have wondered whether it can affect your sex drive. In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray takes a closer look at what we actually know about spironolactone, antiandrogens, and libido in women, including what the research tells us and where the evidence is still limited.

Spironolactone is a commonly used antiandrogen in dermatology, particularly for adult female acne. While decreased libido is a recognized potential side effect, studies have not given us a reliable estimate of how frequently this occurs in women. Libido is also influenced by many factors beyond testosterone and androgen signaling, including stress, sleep, medications, relationships, pain, vaginal dryness, menopause, and overall health.

We also discuss newer research that examined sexual dysfunction diagnoses among hundreds of thousands of premenopausal women with acne. Interestingly, this observational study did not find an increased rate of coded sexual dysfunction among spironolactone users. However, this does not prove that spironolactone improves libido or that it cannot cause sexual side effects. The study relied on medical coding and highlights the need for prospective research using validated measures of sexual function.

This video also covers dose-related side effects of spironolactone, potassium and medication interactions, menstrual changes, breast tenderness, pregnancy considerations, finasteride, dutasteride, and testosterone therapy in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

Most importantly, if you notice a meaningful change in libido after starting spironolactone or another antiandrogen, it is worth discussing with your doctor. You should not have to choose between treating your skin or hair concerns and maintaining your overall quality of life.

Dietary Supplements Causing Hair Loss and Acne? A Dermatologist Explains

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Can dietary supplements cause hair loss, acne, rashes, nail changes, or other skin problems? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explores the growing connection between social media health trends, fad diets, dietary supplement overuse, and dermatologic disease

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses several important examples, including selenium toxicity (selenosis), niacin toxicity and flushing, zinc-induced copper deficiency, whey protein and acne, and potentially adulterated bodybuilding and performance supplements.

She also explains why dermatologists should ask about dietary supplements when evaluating unexplained hair loss, nail dystrophy, rashes, pigmentary changes, acne, and other unusual skin findings.

One particularly important example is selenium toxicity. Excessive selenium can cause rapid, sometimes dramatic hair loss, nail abnormalities, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, garlic-smelling breath, and other systemic effects. Selenium exposure can come from supplements as well as foods such as Brazil nuts, making total intake important to consider.

Dr. Dray also discusses niacin, which can cause the characteristic "niacin flush," and excessive zinc intake, which can interfere with copper absorption and potentially contribute to pigmentary changes, hair abnormalities, poor wound healing, and systemic complications.

The video takes a more nuanced look at whey protein and acne as well. Although whey protein has been associated with acne in case reports and observational research, a 2024 randomized controlled trial did not find that whey protein significantly worsened acne severity. This provides an important reminder that a plausible mechanism or anecdotal experience is not the same thing as definitive evidence.

The discussion then expands beyond individual supplements to the larger problem of health misinformation on social media. Online nutrition and supplement content can be highly persuasive, particularly when it combines dramatic before-and-after results, confident claims, influencer marketing, and easy access to products.

The skin, hair, and nails can sometimes provide important clues to nutritional deficiencies, supplement toxicity, or other systemic problems. In the era of social media-driven health trends, taking a careful dietary and supplement history can be an important part of dermatologic evaluation.

Why Are Your Eyebrows Thinning? 10 Causes You Need to Know

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Why are your eyebrows thinning? Eyebrow hair loss, also called madarosis, can have many different causes, and finding the underlying cause is often more important than simply reaching for a brow growth serum.

In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the most common causes of eyebrow thinning and eyebrow hair loss, including alopecia areata, thyroid disease, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, infections, nutritional deficiencies, medication side effects, trichotillomania, and trauma. She also explains why distinguishing scarring from nonscarring eyebrow hair loss is so important.

One of the key conditions discussed is frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), a form of scarring hair loss that can cause eyebrow loss and may sometimes affect the eyebrows before obvious scalp hairline changes develop. Early recognition and treatment can be important for preserving remaining hair follicles.

Dr. Dray also discusses minoxidil for eyebrows, cosmetic brow growth serums, prostaglandin analogs, and why stimulating hair growth is not the same thing as treating the underlying cause of eyebrow loss.

The video covers clues that may help distinguish different causes of eyebrow thinning, including patchy eyebrow loss, loss of the outer third of the eyebrows, redness or scaling, itching, changes in the scalp hairline, and shiny or scarred skin.

Can You Still Tan While Wearing Sunscreen? | Dermatologist QandA

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from viewers about tanning through sunscreen, skin barrier repair, micellar water, vascular redness, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, tanning through sunscreen, purpura, topical zinc, and topical metformin.

Dr. Dray discusses why hemosiderin can appear in the lower legs, whether micellar water can cause cancer, and whether sunscreen should be avoided when the skin barrier is damaged. She also explains whether micellar water can replace cleansing oil in a double cleanse and discusses treatment options for persistent facial redness and dilated blood vessels.

The video also addresses the common misconception that hyaluronic acid and glycerin are harmful in hot, dry climates, explaining why these humectants do not simply pull moisture out of the skin or hair.

Additional questions cover Valsalva purpura from forceful coughing or vomiting, tanning despite sunscreen, topical zinc, oral zinc for acne and hidradenitis suppurativa, and the emerging research on topical metformin.

Topics covered:

0:00 Intro
0:11 Why Did the Hemosiderin "Leak Out"?
1:43 Can Micellar Water Cause Cancer?
2:24 Should You Stop Sunscreen While Repairing Your Skin Barrier?
3:04 Can Micellar Water Replace Cleansing Oil?

10:52 Can You Tan Through Sunscreen?

13:45 Outro

Dr. Dray provides evidence-based dermatology information while addressing common skincare myths and misconceptions. Individual treatment decisions should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional, particularly for persistent skin changes, unexplained bruising or purpura, significant redness, hair loss, or other concerning symptoms.

Sjögren Syndrome: Skin Symptoms, Rashes and Hair Loss | Dermatologist Explains

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Sjögren syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease best known for causing dry eyes and dry mouth, but its effects can extend well beyond the salivary and lacrimal glands. In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains Sjögren syndrome from a dermatology perspective, including the skin symptoms and other dermatologic findings that may occur with this condition.

Sjögren syndrome can be associated with dry, itchy skin, photosensitive rashes, Raynaud phenomenon, purpura, cutaneous vasculitis, hair loss, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Recognizing these findings can sometimes provide an important clue that a patient may have an underlying systemic autoimmune disease.

Dr. Dray discusses how Sjögren syndrome affects the skin, what different rashes can look like, why palpable purpura and vasculitis deserve medical evaluation, and how hair loss should be evaluated rather than automatically attributed to Sjögren syndrome.

The video also explains how Sjögren syndrome is diagnosed, including anti-SSA/Ro antibodies, Schirmer testing, salivary gland testing, and, in some cases, minor salivary gland biopsy, as well as practical approaches to treating dry, itchy skin and other skin manifestations.

Topics covered:

0:00 Introduction
0:35 What Is Sjögren Syndrome?
3:07 The Skin Can Be an Important Clue
5:12 Dry, Itchy Skin
7:32 Rashes and Photosensitivity
8:42 Purpura and Vasculitis
12:00 Raynaud Phenomenon
12:57 Hair Loss
14:14 Other Skin Findings
15:53 Sjögren Syndrome Is More Than Dry Skin
18:20 How Is Sjögren Syndrome Diagnosed?
19:54 How Is the Skin Treated?
20:14 The Bottom Line

Important: Dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, hair loss, Raynaud phenomenon, or a rash are common symptoms with many possible causes and do not by themselves mean someone has Sjögren syndrome. This video is for educational purposes and is not intended to diagnose or treat an individual medical condition. Anyone with persistent or concerning symptoms should discuss them with a qualified healthcare professional.

Azelaic Acid + Tretinoin: Can You Use Them Together? | Dermatologist

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Can you use azelaic acid with tretinoin or another topical retinoid? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how these two skincare ingredients can work together for acne, rosacea, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and other common skin concerns.

Azelaic acid has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and pigment-modulating properties, making it useful for acne, rosacea, and dark marks left behind after breakouts. Tretinoin and other topical retinoids work differently by helping normalize skin cell turnover, prevent clogged pores, treat acne, and improve signs of photoaging.

Dr. Dray explains why combining azelaic acid and tretinoin can be particularly useful for people dealing with acne and hyperpigmentation, how to introduce both ingredients without unnecessarily irritating the skin, and whether azelaic acid really needs to be used twice a day.

The video also explores the evidence for once-daily vs. twice-daily azelaic acid for papulopustular rosacea, why once-daily treatment may be a reasonable option for some people, and how individual skin tolerance should guide your skincare routine.

Dr. Dray also discusses using azelaic acid with adapalene, tazarotene, or trifarotene, whether retinoids can be used with rosacea, and why adding more active ingredients does not necessarily mean better results.

In this video:

• Can you use azelaic acid with tretinoin?
• How azelaic acid works for acne and hyperpigmentation

13:16 The Biggest Issue: Irritation
15:53 My Bottom Line

The key takeaway is that twice-daily azelaic acid is not automatically better than once-daily treatment. Prescription azelaic acid 15% gel is labeled for twice-daily use for rosacea, but clinical research has found comparable improvement with once-daily application for papulopustular rosacea. The ideal frequency depends on the specific product, condition being treated, tolerability, and consistency.

For many people, a simple routine of azelaic acid in the morning, tretinoin at night, moisturizer, and daily sunscreen can be an effective approach. The goal is not to use the maximum number of skincare actives, but to find a routine that provides benefits without excessive irritation.

Dengue Fever Symptoms: Rash, Petechiae and Warning Signs

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 20:27:00 -0000

With dengue cases being reported in Florida, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains what dengue fever can look like on the skin and the important warning signs that should prompt medical attention.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can cause fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, pain behind the eyes, and a characteristic rash. The skin can also develop petechiae, purpura, bruising, and other bleeding manifestations. One classic description of the dengue rash is a diffuse red or pink eruption with areas of normal or pale skin, sometimes described as “islands of sparing.”

Dr. Dray explains why a rash alone cannot diagnose dengue and why skin findings can look different across different skin tones. She also discusses petechiae, how they can appear on the skin, and why new unexplained bleeding or bruising during a febrile illness deserves medical evaluation.

Most importantly, this video covers the warning signs of severe dengue, including abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, nose or gum bleeding, vomiting blood, blood in the stool, and significant lethargy or restlessness. Warning signs can become apparent 24 to 48 hours after the fever resolves, so feeling better as the fever comes down does not necessarily mean the risk has passed

The video also explains how dengue is diagnosed, why other mosquito-borne illnesses such as Zika and chikungunya can cause similar symptoms, what to do if dengue is suspected, and how to reduce mosquito exposure and prevent mosquito breeding around the home.

Important: A rash cannot confirm or rule out dengue. Anyone with concerning symptoms, particularly signs of bleeding or other warning signs of severe dengue, should seek medical evaluation.

REMEDY 15% Azelaic Acid Review: Is It Really 15%?

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray reviews the REMEDY 15% Azelaic Acid Complex Advanced Clarifying Serum, a $25 skincare serum marketed as containing a 15% azelaic acid complex. But there is an important distinction: this is not a 15% azelaic acid serum.
The formula contains 10% azelaic acid plus 5% potassium azeloyl diglycinate, also known as azeloglycine. Dr. Dray breaks down what is known about these ingredients, how potassium azeloyl diglycinate compares with azelaic acid, and whether this combination offers meaningful benefits over a traditional 10% azelaic acid product.
The video also covers the evidence for azelaic acid in acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation, the limited clinical evidence for potassium azeloyl diglycinate, and the other ingredients in the formula, including niacinamide, beta glucan, vitamin B12, centella asiatica, licorice root, and green tea extract.
Dr. Dray also shares her personal experience using the REMEDY serum. After a couple of weeks, she developed eyelid dryness and facial itching and discontinued the product. She notes that this is her individual experience and does not mean everyone will experience irritation.
The video also compares the REMEDY serum with the Anua 10% Azelaic Acid Serum, which Dr. Dray personally uses and repurchases. The two products have a similar overall concept and price range, but the Anua serum does not contain potassium azeloyl diglycinate or vitamin B12.
Most importantly, Dr. Dray explains why “15% azelaic acid complex” does not mean 15% azelaic acid, and why consumers should not assume that 5% potassium azeloyl diglycinate is equivalent to an additional 5% azelaic acid.
She also discusses why she would like to see prescription-strength azelaic acid become available over the counter in the United States, given its versatility in dermatology and established history of use.

Does Red Light Therapy Really Work? | Dermatologist Explains

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Red light therapy and LED devices have become extremely popular for skincare, acne, hair loss, and anti-aging. But does LED therapy actually work, and is an expensive red light mask or panel worth the money?
In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down the evidence behind LED light therapy and photobiomodulation, including red light, near-infrared light, and blue light. She explains how wavelength, irradiance, fluence, treatment time, and treatment schedule can affect the amount of light energy delivered to the skin.

The video covers the evidence for LED therapy for acne, hair loss, and photoaging, including what the research actually shows and where LED therapy should be considered an adjunct rather than a replacement for established treatments.

Dr. Dray also explains the difference between red light masks and red light panels, why a larger or more expensive device is not automatically better, and which specifications to look at when comparing LED devices.

One of the biggest topics in the video is FDA clearance. Dr. Dray explains what FDA clearance means, why it can provide useful information about a device's regulatory status and basic safety, and why FDA clearance does not mean that one LED mask will produce better cosmetic results than another. She also explains the difference between the terms FDA cleared, FDA registered, and FDA approved.

The video also addresses important safety questions, including whether LED therapy is appropriate for people with melasma, hyperpigmentation, retinol or tretinoin use, and isotretinoin treatment. Dr. Dray explains why people with melasma or pigmentary concerns may need to be more cautious with certain devices, particularly those that generate heat or include blue light.

Finally, Dr. Dray explains how to evaluate an LED device before buying it, including its wavelength, irradiance, fluence, treatment schedule, and clinical evidence. The goal is to look beyond marketing claims and determine whether a particular device has evidence for the specific condition it is being used to treat.

15:43 How to Choose an LED Device
16:59 Is LED Light Therapy Worth It?

Key Takeaway
LED therapy is not simply about buying a device with lots of LEDs. The wavelength, dose, treatment schedule, device specifications, and condition being treated all matter. Dr. Dray explains why consumers should look beyond price and marketing claims when deciding whether an LED device is worth using.

For aging skin, LED therapy should complement, rather than replace, foundational treatments such as sunscreen and evidence-based topical therapies. For acne and hair loss, it may serve as an additional treatment alongside therapies with established evidence.

Glycolic Acid vs. Lactic Acid: Which Is Better for Dark Spots?

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 04:27:00 -0000

In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from her followers about exfoliating acids, tretinoin, skin barrier care, wound dressings, humidifiers, and isotretinoin prescribed through direct-to-consumer telehealth services.

Can 12% glycolic acid or 12% lactic acid help with friction-related hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone? Is it necessary to seal in AmLactin or tretinoin with an occlusive moisturizer? Can adding glycerin to a humidifier improve skin hydration? What should people with sensitive skin or suspected adhesive allergies use to cover wounds? Dr. Dray also discusses concerns surrounding online isotretinoin prescriptions, patient safety, medical screening, and the marketing of prescription skincare treatments.

GLP-1s and Nail Detachment? New Study Reveals a Surprising Side Effect

Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:27:00 -0000

Could your nails be affected by GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound? Dermatologist Dr. Dray examines a new study investigating a potential link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and nail problems, including onycholysis, or separation of the nail from the nail bed.
The study found that nail detachment and nail discoloration were reported more frequently among GLP-1 users than among people with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes who had never used GLP-1 medications. However, the findings do not prove that GLP-1 medications cause nail detachment. Dr. Dray explains the important limitations of the study, including the fact that nearly half of GLP-1 users reported nail problems before starting treatment and that the association disappeared when researchers looked specifically at new-onset nail abnormalities.
The video also discusses GLP-1 medications, weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and nail health, including research on vitamin D, iron, B vitamins, calcium, and overall dietary intake during GLP-1 treatment.
Dr. Dray explains what onycholysis looks like, other common causes of nail separation, what to do if you notice your nails lifting from the nail bed, and whether you should stop a GLP-1 medication because of nail changes.

Plague Is Trending: What Does Plague Look Like on the Skin?

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Plague is back in the news, but what does plague actually look like? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains the skin signs and symptoms of plague, including the classic buboes of bubonic plague, skin lesions from flea bites, purpura and gangrene associated with septicemic plague, and the serious respiratory symptoms of pneumonic plague.
Plague is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Although plague is often associated with the Black Death and medieval history, human cases still occur today. Dr. Dray explains how plague is transmitted, the differences between bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague, how doctors diagnose and treat the infection, and what the skin can reveal about this potentially life-threatening disease.
The video also discusses the recent news surrounding a laboratory worker in Siberia who died from severe pneumonia. Plague has not been confirmed as the cause, and a suspected case should not be confused with a confirmed plague outbreak.
In this video, Dr. Dray discusses:
• What causes plague and how Yersinia pestis spreads
• How people can become infected through flea bites and animal exposure
• Bubonic plague and the characteristic painful swollen lymph nodes called buboes
• Skin lesions that can occur at the site of an infected flea bite
• Septicemic plague, including purpura and gangrene
• Pneumonic plague and its respiratory symptoms
• How a dermatologist may recognize possible plague
• How plague is diagnosed
• Antibiotic treatment for plague
• How dangerous untreated plague can be
• Ways to reduce the risk of plague exposure
• What the recent Siberia news does, and does not, mean

Skinbetter AlphaRet Review: Is It Really Better Than Tretinoin?

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 20:27:00 -0000

Is Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream worth the hype? In this video, dermatologist Dr. Dray reviews AlphaRet and examines the science behind its proprietary retinoid, ethyl lactyl retinoate. Does this innovative retinoid actually deliver the anti-aging benefits of tretinoin with less irritation, or is the evidence less convincing than the marketing suggests?

Dr. Dray breaks down the clinical research on AlphaRet, including studies evaluating its effects on fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, pigmentation, and tolerability. She explains how ethyl lactyl retinoate is thought to work, what the published research actually demonstrates, and why improvements from a finished skincare product do not necessarily prove that its featured active ingredient is responsible.

This review also compares the evidence for ethyl lactyl retinoate with established retinoids, including tretinoin, tazarotene, adapalene, retinol, and retinaldehyde. Learn what the research tells us about retinoid effectiveness, collagen stimulation, photoaging, and irritation, and what additional studies would help establish the benefits of AlphaRet's proprietary ingredient.

Is AlphaRet a proven alternative to tretinoin? Find out what the science supports and what remains uncertain in this dermatologist's evidence-based review.

Can Powder Sunscreen Really Protect Your Skin? | Dermatologist

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 04:27:00 -0000

Dermatologist Dr. Dray answers skincare questions from her followers in this Q and A video, covering double chin treatments, powder sunscreen, spironolactone side effects, tretinoin and copper peptides, UV-blocking umbrellas, and a new ingredient for treating hyperpigmentation.

Can facial exercises reduce a double chin? Are powder sunscreens effective enough to protect your skin from UV radiation? Dr. Dray discusses treatment options for submental fat, explains the limitations of powder sunscreens, and answers questions about breast tenderness with topical spironolactone and potassium monitoring with oral spironolactone.

She also shares her experience with copper peptide serums, explains how UV-blocking umbrellas can help protect your skin from the sun, and reviews the emerging evidence for methyloxetanecarbamido thiazolyl resorcinol (KT-939), a topical ingredient being investigated for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation.

Watch for evidence-based skincare advice from a dermatologist, practical sun protection tips, and insights into ingredients and treatments for common skin concerns.
