First Tip: Start slow with any routine! For example, add the differin, use it for a month, wait for your skin to get adjusted, and then add the benzoyl peroxide in the morning!
Second Tip: Wait 2-3 months to see results with your acne! Be consistent. Patience and consistency are key!
Third Tip: The moisturizer and sunscreen here are interchangeable. Just use ones you already have or pick ones you like!

I'm allergic to salicylic acid....
Dude got any advice on beard growth for guys in their 30s
Are they all good for dry skin....?
@Doctorly the morning products seem to leave my face burning after I begin to sweat from work. What should I do?
@@boxertaco5876 it has the same feeling for me and I found it is allergies might be the same for you
to conclude: use products that have Salicylic Acid (BHA), exfoliate with retinoid serum, moisturize effectively, and wear sunscreen
can i ask,if bha cleansers supposed to use at night or morning???
@@moonbulschair1047 I think it depends on your skin. I have SUPER oily skin and I use it in the morning and night. I have no problem so far, it doesn’t make my skin super dry.
You can try BHA cleanser once a day first if you’re not sure it’ll overly dries your face
@@rikewulandari2496 i see thank you!
@@rikewulandari2496 just an FYI, salicylic acid has recently been debunked as a "true" BHA. nonetheless, they are still very effective for acne
@@killuazoldyck8330 oh I didn’t know! Thank you for correcting me! 😄
it baffles me some people dont have to do anything while people like us have to go through lots of shit for something they simply dont go through
It’s like teeth, some people have perfect teeth and others need braces
stop being a bi tch, some people are born blind, deaf, handicapped, with incredibly painful diseases or with a 75 IQ. Be grateful your "thing" is only cosmetic and goes away with time and some meds.
@666 Kkj0o emotions over things so small are only harmful for you mental health and happiness.
Its also quite pathetic, do what you have to do to get rid of it and stop crying
@666 Kkj0o whatever works for you
No at one time someone has something like you had acne this month they might have it in the next few months. If a person like Kylie Jenner can have it, so can anyone in the world
To my people with dry/sensitive skin I would recommend starting slow by using these treatments every other day or only at night. When I first started acne treatments my skin could not handle active ingredients every day.
does that applu to the morning Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Medication
@@mr.cactus386 I would say so. I used benzoyl peroxide before and it made my face pretty dry. Ultimately just listen to your skin. If the treatment is making your skin overly dry/irritated or you know you have sensitive skin, consider slowing the treatments.
I’m using this right routine now and my face is on fire.
@@mirsworld1558yea same, I’m gonna just do it every other day and see how that works, my cheeks are super red lol
@@mirsworld1558wym
Earlier my face looked dry and dull constantly, even in the mornings. But after I conducted a bit of study and made some adjustments, my face began bright and glowing in just a few weeks. Here is what I did: I consumed a balanced diet including items such as lentils, roti, green vegetables, and brown rice. This assisted heal my body from the inside. I applied a face wash with the appropriate pH level and had black rice water. I chose the Litlextraa riceberrry face wash, and it performed nice for my skin.
I formed it a regular practice to drink a minimum of 2 liters of water every day.
I engaged in physical activity on a daily basis, this made me sweating and removed impurities from my body.
I have to admit, I've been using this riceberry face wash for the past 1 month, and on my sensitive skin, this is so good, non-drying, gentle face wash.
My sensitive skin really likes rice berry face wash.
I don't wanna sound like a know it all but brown rice is a myth rice is naturally white. people including myself was lead to believe that brown rice was better for you, it's not ! I hope this info helps to make your routine perfect!

I telling you guys I’ve done this routine for so long and it’s literally done magic to my skin!!!! Adapalene is a must if you have acne!!!
Do you use the salicylic acid cleanser on your eyes?
@@starlet12321 you shouldn’t wash your eyes in general just rinse with water. That cleaners does have acid in it so it would not be good to get into your eyes
Just be really careful with adapalene! It can be super drying. It dries out my skin pretty bad so I pair it with a good moisturizer and it works super well for acne.
@@starlet12321 No don't use on your eyes. I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser and I use that on my eyes and eyebrows too
Do you use benzo peroxide all over your face ?
Night
-cerave
-adapalene (retinoid)
-gentle moisturizer
Day
-cerave
-benzoyl peroxide
-sunscreen spf 30+
Doesn’t moisturizer go first before retinoid
It doesn't have to be CeraVe, just a gentle salicylic acid cleanser will work. But CeraVe does have excellent products
@@Jewelznme nope moisturizer helps to hydrate the retinoid used, as retinoids can dry up your skin. Therefore, moisturizer goes on top.
@@jinhui258hello I just wanted make sure when I apply retinoid I need to wash my face then put moisturiser ? Or just apply on top of each other ?
I’m using retinoid before bed applying small amount to all over my face but it’s drying up my face so badly
@@diflacamaya1993 did you get the answer for this?

Which one did you use in it
The same order from the video.
Do you use one over the othwr or apply one then clean one and apply the other@RickMichaels-if5eq
The only one that I apply and clean off is the Benzoyl Peroxide because it will severely dry out your skin and even burn.🔥 🥵 They don’t inform you of this in the video.😏

@@brokenhero6828so hows your skin now just checking up on you
I saw this video a few months ago and the SA cleanser changed my skincare game FOR LIFE. I had cystic acne and up to 70 on my face and broke out everyday. Like when I tell you it was bad… it was HORRID. 2 years after Covid but I wore a face mask everywhere because I was ashamed of it and I NEVER looked in the mirror if I could help it and I HATED people seeing my side profile. Until I prayed about it then I found out my skin type was actually dry (I thought it was oily until I moved to the States and realised my skin was had only oily because I lived in a tropical location but on its own and in the US it’s actually dry) and I used the Cerave Renewing SA cleanser (but for dry skin) and the Cerave moisturiser and the ordinary alpha arbutin serum but the serum only for 2 months. Thank you to Jesus and dermatologists everywhere that change the game and lift our confidence.
Where are you get the cerave cleanser for dry skin? I’m not seeing it
@merp burp heyyy. My skin is really good rn. Im wayy more confident and at a point I prayed and hoped and low-key envied for . No pimples. But because I'm a teenage girl, im also hormonal so there's some texture here and there and the occasional pimple. I only relalyhave to deal with hyperpigmentation.

Get silk pillows cases
Also drink spearmint tea
Pillow or pillow case
@tyrannicalbigtech5842 for how long pls
Thank you for making a realistic/ affordable routine where the products aren't $20+ a piece! This feels realistic for the average consumer (especially for one like me that's in college!) Not everyone can drop a hundred or more for skin care
Fr!!!!
What? This is more like $80. Just the cleanser alone is $15. Differin gel is $19.
@@alb0zfinestkatchup said $20+ per product. followed by not everyone can drop 100 on skincare. we’d rather do 80 than 100.

Please make a dry/dehydrated version!
i second this!!
Yes pls
Don’t cleanse in the morning, just use water if you must and double cleanse at night! rose hip oil :)
@@victoriagates2900 is this good for acne prone dry skin though?
@@Anew3A3 my skin is acne prone and can be both dry in areas and oily. unless I wake up really oily or it was a hot/sweaty sleep I don’t wash the skincare off from the night before, but I layer a niacinamide serum then my sunscreen! acne prone needs balance and not too many pore clogging products but also not to over cleanse and dehydrate the skin. Only do this if you wash your pillowcases once a week or else your skin probably needs a morning wash 🧼
Just copped this whole thing. It was 67 bucks but some of the containers were larger. I’ll edit to let you know how it goes. Wish me luck
Edit 1: Been 4 weeks. The first 2 I did everything as said. Worked but dried out my skin completely. It was weird just tearing off dead skin that used to be zits. So I had no acne but at the price of a constantly burning face with dead skin. Looked like I got sunburnt. Had to stop so the acne partially came back week 3. I started it again doing the same thing but moisturizing more and not doing it everyday. Also I only put the benzoyl peroxide on the zits themselves. The adapalene I still put all over my face. Keep in mind I have mild acne. Overall it works but listen to your skin.
Edit 2: 8/10/24 (8 months later): Been acne free for 2.5 months now just so it took 5.5 months for this to work. I thought I’d let y’all know that. I’m now onto just benzoyl peroxide on pimples and moisterizer all over my face twice daily and that’s been enough. Hope this helps.
Good?

I would switch the benzoyl peroxide to night time since it can make your skin extra sensitive to the sun even with sunscreen! Just a tip ( I struggled with acne for 15 years )
Yeh I learnt that the hard way
@@viilr1031 Agreed. That's what I was doing.

@@bia-tv2wj same bc im more of a night owl 😭
If salicylic acid face wash isn't working for you, benzoyl peroxide wash is something else to try! I never had any luck with SA (my skin hated it) but benzoyl peroxide clears mine up so quick. Everyone's skin is different. And I know he mentioned both in the video but changing up your face wash to a different active if you're not seeing results can make such a difference.
@Kirito it’s better to use a moisturizer for your skin type. There are plenty of good affordable moisturizers for oily skin, if you do some research
I have been using Cetaphil gentle cleanser with SA for over 6 weeks and it helped, but the acne keeps coming back. Now I am just starting a 2.5 percent Benzoyl P. cleanser. Supposedly results can be noticed within a week of use.
Yeah that worked for me ! I'm a benzoyl peroxide enthusiast rn...
@Kirito Sephora have a hyaluronic acid moisturiser that should do the trick, and the smaller bottle is 12 dollars I think ? it's from their own skincare line, idk if you have it where you live, but if I have it in my tiny European country, you must have it too! also it's good for most skin types, so I'm sure you'll like it, try it maybe? and if you do tell me what happens lolll
@Kirito yeah I hope you find something that works for you!
What I do as a 12 year old with acne:
Day: cerave gentle cleanser, hydroaulaunic serum(idk how to spell), cetaphil lotion, sunscreen.
Night:
CeraVe cleanser
Hydroaulaunic serum
Vitamin c
Cetaphil moisturizer
Pimple patches
(Also I use a wheelchair and have to shower x2 a day to wash my face so sometimes I miss wash times )
1.) Cerave contains Phenoxyethanol which is a endocrine disrupter. Same thing with Differin. And Eucerin has Cyclomethicone which is a endocrine disrupters as well.
That CeraVe cleanser literally broke my face out.
@@mifnp8887worked for me. Everyone got different reactions I learned so best way is to fuck around and found out

I’ve been using this for 2 weeks and my face has cleared up so much, I had a whole face of pimples and now I only have a few left! Thank you so much 😊
Hi just a quick question since you have been using it, do you know if the cetaphill moisturiser is oil free? :) And I'm glad to see that it is working for you
@@user-zq4gi4if1f i didint buy the exact same moisturer, i bought a cetaphil light mousturizer from IHerb, beacuse I didint think a moustirizer with shea butter would be good for me
mine has worsened 🙁
@@rustydusty-vz6lh that's part of the process my friend, adapaline takes all your acne up on the face to get it cleared up. So first 3weeks it will get worse
Do u use the spf?
Make one for acne scaring too, love your work!
This legit worked for me. Thank you
This is a great routine but I'd really recommend considering just using adapalene (aka differin) and not the other actives (the salicylic face wash and benzoyl peroxide) until your skin has gotten used to the the adapele bc it's really strong
Instead use gentle/hydrating products when you start using it, to help avoid unnecessary irritation
@@pippetandpossum No wonder when I started tretinoin my skin stung like hell when I applied the First Aid Beauty ultra repair firming collagen cream that has niacinamide as it’s fourth ingredient, which I didn’t think would be irritating for my skin at all! I applied the cream on my boyfriend’s and sister’s face but they felt absolutely nothing! Glad to know I’m not the only one.
Yes! I’m not sure why he recommended that moisturizer. Cetaphil has a basic lotion that’s formulated for the face and body. The moisturizer he showed in the video has shea butter, which can cause breakouts. Also that cerave cleanser is not gentle whatsoever. Too much exfoliating can disrupt the moisture barrier of the skin and if you’re already using Differin, you don’t need an exfoliating or strong cleanser. A good basic cleanser will suffice.
@@chelsea8082 do you recommend replacing the SA cleanser with the cerave foaming facial cleanser?
@@wosoyunapapa3892 It honestly depends on what you’re looking for with your skin. I know a lot of people don’t like the foaming cleanser because they said it’s very drying and strips their skin. The SA cleanser has salicylic acid in it, but that one is more for exfoliating and smoothing the skin. If I had to chose between the two though I’d go with the SA cleanser. I personally use the hydrating cream to foam cleanser and I love it.
Hello can I ask u after I apply adapalene differin gel it dried my face so badly in this video shows u have to put moisturiser cream on top of the adapalene ? Also it sure do I have to leave till morning when I apply adapalene I’m doing that but my face so badly now dry help me please ?
I'm not a doc but I'm a longtime acne haver. This is a great routine and it would be MY routine if I wasn't overly/abnormally sensitive to retin A.
I started using CeraVe retinol cream, teal color label. I have sensitive skin and it's fine for me.
Retin-A is Tretinoin, Differin is Adapalene. They're two different drugs.
They are both retinoic acid medications, but Adapalene is much more tolerable.
No matter what I did I couldn't adjust to Tretinoin, so I switched to Adapalene. And it was wayyyy better.
I love that my target 🎯 skin care routine is approved! I use the same night products but La Roche Pose moisturizer instead. Ty for keeping your routine suggestions simple instead of 10 steps!
I did not expect to cry, but this really blessed me. Thanks for sharing
Not alot of people know about it but its cetaphil pro oil control foaming facewash that has my heart yall
It worked like heaven for me
Thank you so much I’ve been struggling to find a sunscreen that’s gentle to my skin
same!!
I suffer with spots on my chin really bad some times and it makes me totally hate myself I have 0 confidence and really bad depression I’m going to invest in this skin care routine. Thanks for making a realistic product routine for us normal people. ❤
It gets better babe
Sometimes this shit really is genetics

No digging popping hell touching unless it’s to clean

You’re not alone ❤❤❤❤❤
That cereve salicylic cleanser and the inky list salicylic cleanser are life savers 😩.
😍

Currently on week 2 of doing this routine and this is the most effective way I’ve ever treated my acne. I recently broke out bad but stopped it by doing this routine.
I have pretty normal skin with small breakouts. Personally the SA cleanser is very drying and can irritate my skin. If your sensitive, be aware that this might be too irritating.
Ty i agree! I try using the same wash for mt acne and i find if i use it twice a day my skin gets dry and in return becomes super oily and will break out. I literally would use that same moisturizer too but it doesnt work for me
Yessss I have the same problem and it caused burning and irritation to my skin to use it twice a day
Then I also discovered I have a damaged skin barrier which made the skin sensitivity even worse so a routine like this one was actually taking me steps back
Hey Doc, Can you do the most affective dark spot correcting/ acne routine that’s not cerave under $50 in target?
It's probably mostly the same. Find a different salicylic acid cleanser and you're good. I feel like you didn't mean this - what did you mean?
Just use any other cleanser with Differin
So, you’re going to want to use products like a good serum with a blend of tranexamic acid 10%, and glycolic acid. Other fantastic ingredients that work extremely well on dark spots are AHA’s & BHA’s, lactic acid, Vitamin C, retinol, kojic acid, azealic acid, and niacinimide. So anything that you see with these ingredients will work very well. I’m using a number of different products right now with a combination of these ingredients to get rid of my melasma/dark spots, and it’s working- especially the products with tranexamic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid and AHA’s. There’s an amazing 7% glycolic toner that I love- and it doesn’t have any alcohol so it doesn’t dry your skin out, it has aloe and hyaluronic acid and a lot of other great stuff. And it’s about 11$ on Amazon. (It very well could be at target) The brand is VA (Vital Affair), Vital Allure Glycolic acid 7%. (It’s a yellowish/green label) Also another great one is Biossance Vit C Dark spot serum. I’ve been using this for about 5 months consistently now and it’s been helping a lot. It took some time but they all do. And it feels wonderful. It’s about 50$ but if you get it on sale and in one of their bundles, it’s way cheaper- like 20$-30$ a bottle. Sometimes cheaper. And they give you a bunch of free, large, travel sizes of all their products almost every time you order. Just sign up for their loyalty program so you’ll get the best discounts. Anyway I’m totally rambling.. Hope this helps you out a bit.. I know I was so lost when I first started looking for stuff like this, and I wish someone would have taken the time to answer me. I know these aren’t at target but you can order them online just as easily:) Cheers, and good luck!✨
But does this work on black skin?
I have brown skin and some dark scars. What can i use to lighten the scars but not my skin?
Ty I tried this is worked so well and got my skin feeling mad smooth
How has it been? Any breakouts, etc or no
@@llennaa💀
when I was young I used benzoyl peroxide cream but from the pharmacy it was strong, and then little did I know I washed my face with Clearasil that had salicylic acid, my skin got SOO dry and red that it cracked when I smiled I still have lines there, it was horrible and left permanent damage, I later found out that benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid is a very bad combination
I prefer 2.5% benzoyl peroxide for clearing acne. Kills the bacteria without over drying and causing redness and peeling.
You can do short contact by putting on the BP and rinsing it off after some time. I do the same thing with acids because my have sensitive skin so leaving active ingredients on for short periods of time gives me the benefits with less irritation. After I rinse I use pimple patches for spots and moisturize.
This would dry the shit out of my skin!! I would recommend just the night things (always moisturizer before differin) but the added morning routine seems like a bit much. Maybe do the active ingredient cleanser in the morning but not morning and night. The more active ingredients the more irritation.
Yeah I would do all the steps in the night and my skin would be burning so I just used the face wash but now my skin is all dry and using the lotion he recommended doesn’t make it better it just hurts even more
@@nwolcisdoodoo4503 hi do you still using that skincare? And it works now for you ?
🤣 Right! The SA cleanser alone strips the hell out of skin.
Ive tried a lot of these products before in my regular gentle skin routine, and they dry me out too… id be worried what would happen if i used them all at once

Cerave seems to have everything sorted out. Great product
Eucerin is defs underrated 😤 talking of that could u plz do a vid on eucerin (dermopuryifer cleanser included) I’m South Africa we don’t have cera ve , inkey list and half the good brands recommended so plz do eucerin
I use eucerin too ( i tried cerave but my skin didnt like it).
Here is my routine:
Morning
I- Eucerin Sa cleanser Dermopure: i foam one pump between my hands and use it for my face+neck+ chest +arms ( has done on amazing job on my skin against little bumps)
2- Eucerin Dermopure Hydra mosturizer : super lightweight not sticky + fully mosturize my super dry cheeks
3- Eucerin oil control spf 50: non sticky+ lightweight+ no WHITE CAST (im brown)
Night:
- i use to wash with the same sa cleanser but i switched to a neutral wash by SVR for sensitive skin since I use other chemicals at night
- Epiduo gel 0,3% adapalene and 2,5% Benzoyl peroxide ( pea size amount where I usually breakout/ have hyperpigmentation): this has TRANSFORMED my skin in 4-6 months
- the same moisturizer 10 minute later
Voila. Simple but effective.
could you do a cruelty free version of this please? your shorts are so helpful!
Lmfao
Just a warning, if you have sensitive skin benzoyl peroxide can cause some harmful irritation! I had an allergic reaction to it as well as extreme irritation, so please use it with caution
NO. I have naturally oily acne prone skin. Adapalene and acids like glycolic and salicylic, hyaluronic acid, and benzoyl peroxide should not be used in the same routine. It is VERY drying. This caused flaking and drying and reactive acne. My skin was so tight and dry after washing, toning, and adapalene. I recommend a basic gentle cleanser without those items above!
this is exactly the video i needed as i was wondering for the longest time if i could use SA cleanser twice a day! thank you sm❤
Wanted to love the SA cleanser but it "rashes" my face into a hard red rash 😭 Vanicream and Neutrogena hydro boost for sensitive skin works good though!
Does it still give you the same effect as the cereve?
try azelaic acid
Renewing SA Cleanser + Differin + Illyoon Ceramide Soothing Gel + Biore UV Essence = No acne for life. Eucerin is super underrated, it feels good on the face and its not oily.
I JUST WANT TO SAY ! ….. thank you sooo much for the help ❤️❤️
Can you please suggest a effective routine for combination skin for removing blemishes, dullness and hyperpigmentation? 😭❤️💫
Differin helps to remove hyperpigmention as well even though it's not it's main function.
Use niacinamide 10% + zinc
Niacinamide and zinc + rose hip oil
@Ina B. moisturizing am is too thick for me
I’ve exactly the same issues as you and I’m Indian. TO Niacinamide 10%+Zn 1% as suggested above, can break us out skin of color people, as it also did for me. I’ve heard Dr. Vanita Rattan suggest starting with 5% and maybe Dr. Dray too. Check it out. 🤍
Meanwhile to brighten skin, I use pure Vit C and Alpha Arbutin 2% but the difference isn’t huge and Lactic Acid 10% is good. Thinking of trying out Azelaic Acid next. Hope it works!
For acne I use the classic Benzoyl Peroxide 10%. Goood results, but they always only show after a month. Start with 2.5% bc otherwise you’ll feel the face burning. Then increase. Even 5% is as effective as 10%.
Omg that’s the exact routine i’ve been following for about 2 months and it’s done wonder to my acneb
Duh....i had full face of acne and i just bought a Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for $0.34 and after a month...i have clear skin

I used to have alot of acnes all over my face for nearly 10 years of suffering and now my skin is smooth as baby butt.
I dont even spent a grand for all these facial products.
All i have was 1 facial cleanser.
Have you heard of the phrase "You are what you eat"?
YES.
Acne caused by having bad diet intake.
All i do to take care of my face from acne:
1. drink lots of mineral water (less sugary drinks)
2. avoid spicy food, seafood and nuts
(any food that can cause itchyness on skins).
3. facial wash twice daily ONLY.
dont overdo it.
4. exercise to sweat out your body.
thats it.

I'm sorry but your the most attractive person I've seen... Your a perfect piece of art...
Perfect timing, thank you for this! Just bought an SA face wash today (La Roche Posay Effaclar) and am nervous to take the plunge after my skin has finally calmed down and accepted tretinoin regularly after a slow 7 months of incorporating it into my routine. You make it sound safe. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Gratitude from Okinawa 🌺.
How has it been so far?
@@SaiverMC not great, every time I use the LRP Effaclar cleanser, I break out. Tried it a few times a week for a few months thinking it was just part of the purging process but it was always the same so I stopped using it. I'd rather deal with a few blackheads on my nose here and there than the painful pimples it was giving me. Might just need a different SA product, haven't wanted to experiment anymore for now.
@snowella rose thank you for your tips! I never used it every day, tried it just 1x a week for a while then 2x a week for a bit, it just wasn't for me. More recently tried a different SA & Glycolic Acid cleanser that I'm now using 1x or 2x per week and it's working well and not doing what the LRP one was doing to me. It's a shame, it was pricey and now it's just sitting there.
so glad most of these I can find at walmart
Ooh boy that Differin gel broke me out SO BADLY! I was so disappointed, I know it can really work well for a lot of people 😊
I spent a few hours reading research papers on acne treatments, and this video provides research backed treatments. I currently use Adapalene 0.1% gel + a non-comedogenic moisturizer daily, and it's reduced comedones by about 80% on my face, neck, and back. I highly recommend starting with either Adapalene 0.1% gel or Benzoyl Peroxide, or both if your skin can handle the combination. Best of luck on clear skin
hey…i just had a question so if i’m getting benzoyl jel…do i use it like first face wash then this gel and leave it on then moisturizer or just leave it on the gel for the day?
@@cruelsummer2 hey quick disclaimer, I haven't done any research on what order to apply the combination of benzoyl peroxide + adapalene + moisturizer in medical literature, but my best guess is you should apply adapalene, let it dry (it dries quick), then benzoyl peroxide, let it dry, then finish with moisturizer. Order of application likely doesn't significantly change the efficacy, but my gut feeling would be to apply the adapalene and benzoyl peroxide before the moisturizer. I hope this helps!
edit: (and we both really should be using sunscreen, but I'm too lazy..)
@@erikb4407 thank youuu
Really good affordable routine!
Thanks alot❤
I don’t have acne but that Cerave cleanser has changed my life! My skin is very prone to small “imperfections” and uneven texture and I swear is the best product I’ve ever tried in a long time. It is one of those products that you can SEE it works.
This routine has actually worked and cleared my skin up soo much ,thank you ❤
Dr. Dray says not to use salicylic acid and retinol at the same time, (I.e., use salicylic acid at night then use Differin.
Yes, because both could be irritating. You could try short contact therapy with retinoids (using for 30 minutes then washing off for 1 week, then gradually increasing the time to overnight and more often during the week, see Lab Muffin's video on starting retinoids). You also don't need to use retinoids every day, even 2-3 times a week is enough. You could use SA on the nights you are not using retinoid. This is what I know, I think you should watch another of Doctorly's videos or talk to a derm for better advice.
You can use salicylic acid and retinol at the same time. However, together, it can increase irritation. I recommend using them as leave-on products at separate times of the day. But since this salicylic acid is a wash off product, you can use them in the same routine!
I have been using the COSRX Salysilic cleanser for over 6 months with retinol at night and Vitamin C during the day - has given me great results. But every skin is different 🤷🏻♀️
I use SA toner and a tretinoin lotion with niacinamide on my nose for sebaceous filaments and I get no irritation (and it works well for the SFs), but the tretinoin (retinol) is a very low strength.
It works for different skin types.
Okay but where have you been all of my life bruh. Why am I JUST finding these videos now 🙈🤣
I actually already have a mildly obsessive skin care routine but I always forget a few super important things 🤣🙈 like… idk… SUNSCREEN. My irish ass puts it on the whole rest of my body. But never remembers the face 😅
That spf broke me out sooo bad
I did that and my acne improved a lot!
Thank you so much! Time to go shopping!
Can we have a hyperpigmentation and dark circles routine !
I LOVE this cleanser! Saved my skin! Wish I would’ve discovered it years ago!
@Hazel Hannah say what? Lol!
You’re such a great doctor, thank you ❤
I am so happy for this. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
LOVE IT.. My son has acne. Can't thank you enogh
I have acne too let me know if it works for ur son
@@24kbrand0n2 you’ll be waiting a LONG time for this reply (if any); acne doesn’t just disappear in a week.
@@24kbrand0n2 it works. adapalene and benzoyl peroxide are the standards for acne. however please patch test both of those first. thats how i found out i was allergic to benzoyl peroxide (very few people have that allergy though)
@@Lucia-be4wb bet I will i just bought a benzoyl peroxide face wash and ima stop using the retina a for a while
@@24kbrand0n2 did it work?
Yup. Hes right. My derma put me on a similar routine but without adapalene and sunscreen (sunscreen wasnt heavily promoted back in the day)... Cetaphil's oily skin cleanser and the lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide. The key here is you give this routine enough time (as in at least 6 months accdg to my derma) to see signs of clearing up.
that cleanser cleared my acne alone
The cetaphil moisturising lotion broke me out bad 😭, it gave me deep pappules.
Try gel moisturizer if you have oily skin..I would recommend sebamed gel care..it's not clogging pores so you won't get pimples
Will you plz do a skincare routine for late 30s and 40s plz.......
It's the same thing
Just want to say. Some ppl cannot use Salicylic acid at all. Even in a low concentration. Benzoyl Peroxide works better for ppl with more sensitive skin. At least it did for me. For years I forced SA on my skin because it worked for so many other people. However, it just stung me and irritated my face.
Eucerin is super underrated
Can u do a video on budget friendly sunscreen for acne prone sensitive skin thank you..
I’m not sure if he’s made a video on that but Dr Dray has tons of you wanna check her out!!
A sun hat
For in the US:
1) Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer is around $13-14 for 4 fl oz (118 ml) and is great if you have more oily skin.
2) Pipette Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen is going for around $12 right now for 4 fl oz (120 ml). It’s pretty moisturizing but can definitely leave a white cast depending on your skin shade. It’s better to apply the recommended amount of sunscreen in two layers to lessen the white cast.
I LOVE EUCERIN and have already been using the Cerave SA cleanser for years now Dr. Shah I love your series!
Which Eucerin products?
does eucerin leave a white cast on your face??
CeraVe SA cleanser with facial brush, Pixi toner sprayed on face (no cotton pads) allow to dry. Finish with CeraVe moisturizer. You're welcome. Glass skin.
morning and night?
If you are dry skin with acne like me use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser 2.5% on nights and in the morning a gentle cleanser. Salicylic acid toner or serum 2 times x week and adapalene in the pm routine depending on your skin tolerance after moisturizer
I thought SA inactivates Adapalene, even though it's on a cleanser format that you can rinse off
I have mild to moderate acne and this routine seems to be working pretty well for me so far. Just experience a little redness and skin peeling even after moisturizing but maybe my skin is still getting used to it all
Honestly I think this is pretty good advice, but always remember everyone's skin is different! Something that works for some people may not work for others so it's always important to understand your skin type and know that it might take a few tries to find something that works for you!
That BROKE ME OUT
I think that 2% Salicylic acid really works for a lot of Sebaceous gland diseases, including my condition: Facial Seborrheic dermatitis! It really helps to keep my face clear and white, not red or pink at all!
That Eucerin SPF was streaky for me & burned my eyes after a few hours. 😆
Adequately moisturizing though.
For the neck, then? Lol
I have the same problem with my eyes! What sunscreen do you use that doesn’t burn your eyes? Please help. :)
As do I and the higher the SPF the worse it seems to burn, so I just stopped accidentally rubbing my eyes after putting it on lol
@@devonbroughton1 The Cosrx Aloe Soothing Cream spf 50 IS SO GOOD FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE AND ITS A KOREAN SUNSCREEN ITS SO GOOD
@@devonbroughton1 my dermatologist recommended i use aquaphor’s lip spf on my eyes because it’s gentler, maybe try that! Though I switched to biore’s aqua essence and it doesn’t burn for me.
it seems you guys are allergic to it or something. if it's just sensitivity then you should make sure it's fragrance free, but if it's more of a allergic reaction i think you should maybe try switching your sunscreen type (there are physical(zinc oxide) and chemical(homosalate, oxybenzone, etc) sunscreens). maybe this could be the problem?
I LOVE that SA cleanser. I use it day and night and have never had issues with it. Perfect mild exfoliator and buying the large value size can last you a long time (around a year). I love that you're advertising a very simple three step routine, that has always been my go to as adding too many products will break me out.
please recommend a skincare routine for women suffering from pesky hormonal acne. I'm constantly getting acne cysts all over my face that take months to go away! I spent more than $100 trying so many different acne treatments in the past year and nothing has kept this hormonal acne at bay or successfully treated my acne cysts.
Can u make like this but for dry skin? I need something budget friendly 🙏🏼
