Thank you for chatting with us today Dr. Gross. My skin concern is the new developments of tiny sun spots on my left cheek (yes from driving!) I've been exfoliating and using a SPF 50 daily. I don't have any fine lines, dryness or texture issues just the hyper pigmentation on a small area on my left cheekbone. What would you recommend from your line to 1) fade the current spots (if that is safe) and 2) prevent new ones from occurring.

Hi Dr. Gross!

Thank you for chatting with us today. What products would you recommend for dry sensitive couperose skin with possible mild rosacea? Looking to help some redness from the broken capillaries and small lines in my forehead. Thank you! 🙂

Thank you for joining us @drdennisgross!

I recently started breaking out on my cheek and, from experience, I know scarring is a possibility. How can I prevent long-term scarring while I'm in the middle of a breakout and continue to prevent it as I heal?

Thanks again for chatting with us!

Hi Doctor Gross, I'm interested in a retinal products. How do I choose between 1.5% or 3%? My concerns are wrinkles and hyper pigmentation. It might seem like a basic question but I haven't been able to find any information telling me how to decide which retinol product is right for me. Oh should add, I've been using your laser eye machine for about a month, love it, now my eyes look 10 years younger. Really hope you release one for the rest of my face

Hi Dr Grass!

I use many of your products and love them all. I have a few questions,

1: corners of my mouth are very dark as compared to rest of my face, any recommendations to deal with it?

2: How often can we use Retinol eye cream and can it be used in conjunction with the spectralite? I mean not at the same time but on the same day ?

3: When will the spectralite be available in Canada?

Thanks!

Hello Dr. Gross. Thanks for taking the time to chat!!

Any recommendations for persistent flaking just in around my nose and chin? The rest of my face feels "normal". I"m not sure the cause of this flaking but I feel like chunks of skin flake off in the middle of the day despite sprays and moisturizers. I"ve even added oils to my routine but that just makes my makeup slide off. Is it a sign of over exfoliation? Thank you again..

HI Dr gross!

Absolutely pleasure you are very brilliant i always enjoy watching you on the Q and hearing you speak. i've studied skin science for years know the ins and outs but one thing i am still sooooo confused cause i see conflicted points. does vitamin C react poorly with niacinamide, i always here yes. but your new C+ collagen serum combines them and people LOVE it! i like to put niacinamide cream over my retinols as i know it helps it work, but also retinol and vitamin c work together well! so does niacinamie and Vitamin c work or hurt the skin

thanks so much you're brilliant!!

Hi @blushnglow! The two ingredients known to fade sunspots are retinol and Vitamin C. I recommend my Ferulic + Retinol brightening solution in the evening and the C+Collagen Vitamin C Serum in the morning, under Instant Radiance SPF40 (which gives you daily protection you need).

Hello!

does using acne products like face washes etc, cause spot/pimples? I've been using a face wash recently containing salicilic acid and I feel my skin has become worse. I don't suffer from acne or spots I'm just super oily and find it helps.

your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Dr. Gross! Thanks for joining us today! As a 25 y.o. how may I begin to prevent aging? So far I only have smile lines that I chase away with essential oils and have very tiny lines across my forehead that aren’t too noticeable yet.

@veronika23

The two key things I recommend are antioxidants to fight redness and soothing ingredients. The best combo for your skin concerns would be C+Collagen Vitamin C Serum in the AM, followed by the Firming Peptide Milk in the evening to increase hydration and soothe the skin. It is a combo I recommend to patients all the time!

Hi! I recently went to a spa for a glycolic peel. I ended up with severe burns which have turned to scars all over my face. Some are red and some are brown. I am so upset and have no idea where to start to begin getting my face back to what it was. The idea of more peels scares me. Any suggestions? Thank you!

@drdennisgross thank you so much! I'll look into these right now 🙂

Dr. Gross--I loved meeting you over the summer at the Sephora Beauty Insider Community launch party!

I have balanced, middle aged skin. What should I start with in your line? Many thanks for attending our party, and I look forward to your advice.

Hello Dr. Dennis!

When will the spectralite be available for Canada and will you be expanding this line of devices to focus on other areas of the face like around the mouth/laugh lines?

I use and love the peel pads (gentle and regular) but feel after a while of using them they seem to lose the effect as compared to if I skip a month and go back. How do I determine which strength is best for my face? I have dry and sensitive skin with not too often hormonal breakouts.

I have some hyperpigmentation (around mouth) especially on my neck (dark lines) is there anything I can use in this area to lighten it so it looks even toned and same as my face since my face is much lighter in comparison.

I love your brand and can't wait to see what else you come out with, can you share any sneak peeks? 😉

Thank you,

Anewxa

@meecheroo

The Alpha Beta Daily Peel is wonderful to clearing dead skin, unclogging pores and prepping to better receive treatment products. Spot treat with the Sulfur Mask at bedtime which draws out oil and bacteria. Moisture Cushion is ideal for oily types since it's oil-free and won't cause future breakouts.

Hi Dr. Gross! Thanks for taking the time to chat with us today.

I first wanted to thank you for never testing your products on animals, it can be so hard to find effective skin care that's cruelty free.

Second, I was curious what products you'd reccomend to someone with combination skin and acne scarring? (I had a sample of the alpha beta peel for a while and quite enjoyed that) Are there any personal tips you may have that most people aren't aware of?

Thanks in advance! 🙂
