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.
