I’m a Harvard-trained dermatologist – I’ve followed 3 anti-aging rules for years, I’m still a fan of a drugstore serum

A DERMATOLOGIST has given his best advice for keeping the largest organ on the body in its best condition.

He said there are three rules to live by for skincare, plus an anti-aging serum he swears by.

Dr. Daniel Sugai (@drspf) filmed himself discussing the tips in a viral video on TikTok.

He said that he adopted the three skincare steps after he completed his dermatology residency.

Dr. Sugai also gave several options to get the best benefits from certain products.

He added that one skincare staple in particular was a game changer.

READY FOR RETINOID

Dr. Sugai recommended using retinoids, saying he actually started using them during his residency.

However, he expressed concern about his own consistency using the product due to the time constraints that come with being a medical professional.

First, he recommended the Olay Regenerist Retinol, $27.15, available on Amazon.

He also suggested using Cerave's Resurfacing Retinol Serum for any dark spots left behind.

The serum is currently on sale on Amazon for $12.55.

Finally, he recommended Roc's Retinol Serum Capsules, for easy skincare on-the-go.

He said that they help with signs of aging and that he uses the drugstore serum to this day while traveling.

Dr. Sugai also recommended a skincare staple — sunscreen.

He said that no matter if he plans on being in direct sunlight or not, he always wears sunscreen.

The dermatologist added that using an SPF is also a good way to combat hyperpigmentation.

He recommended the Cerave Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen, $13.84, available on Amazon.

Dr. Sugai said a certain serum he started using in his 30s brightened his complexion.

Keep your skin hydrated internally by drinking water and externally with moisturizer.
Always use sunscreen, even if you're not in direct sunlight.
Use Vitamin C to brighten the skin and don't forget to apply to your neck.

He recommended the Obagi Medical 1 5 % Serum, $115.

Starting in his late 20s and early 30s was a win for him, because he said it helped fight free radicals from pollution and other sources.
