MORNING 1. Use Salicylic Face Wash every morning; you could also use it twice a day --- Lather, apply (avoiding eye and mouth area), let sit for a few minutes, then rinse --- you can also use a moisturizer in between (the same one used at night) 2. Use sunscreen every day NIGHTTIME 3. Wash your face + gentle cleanser 4. Use a moisturizer (niacinamide & licorice); no need for a separate serum 5.

Thank you Dr. Dray, I'm a late 40s, very fair skinned Black man, and your skin care advice has been excellent. Retin-A Micro at night, Vanicream moisturizer, Cerave sunscreen, my acne scars have smooth, dark spots have disappeared, skin is bright & healthy looking. I spent years on expensive lasers & chemical peels but following Dr. Dray's advice for the last year, my skin looks the best it's ever looked with affordable products. Dr. Dray you are a Godsend.
Dr. Dray must be psychic or something…I was just telling myself I need to fade my acne marks not even 5 minutes ago and then I came across this video 23 minutes after it’s been posted lol this isn’t the first time either!
@@luciagarcia6199 Honey, you can get straight up Tretinoin otc in Spain! Someone already mentioned the brand name, I can never remember, how to spell it, lol. Reti-something. People only use products like the one recommended in the video, because tretinoin is prescription only in most countries. It's by far the most (cost) effective option, if you can straight up buy it!
@@DrDrayzday You did mention that retinol in the eye area can be too drying...I use the Remarkable Retinal eye cream by Mychelle which have retinaldehyde to treat the fine lines (I’m 26 but I’ve a lot of it around the eyes) do you think it’s too harsh? It burns a bit when applied but after few seconds I don’t feel anything
Congrats on a Walmart sponsorship. Of all the you tubers I watch, I haven’t seen any that have been sponsored by Walmart. And we know you are genuine when you talk about Walmart, because you have done many videos, prior, shopping at Walmart.
This video has such a specific title but it’s actually such a great starter on all things skin care. You cover so much without fluff. Also I’m more and more convinced that cerave is the holy grail of affordable skincare.
I was just saying to myself I need to get rid of my dark spots. I’m a huge picker, I know it’s terrible but sometimes I can’t stop. I have oily super acne prone skin and I’m in my 30’s. Thank you for this video!
Hey, this may not help you but it helped me to reduce my oily skin. I switched to a hydrating cleanser (cerave hydrating cream to foam or la roche posay hydrating cleanser) and I started using a thicker cream like cerave cream, rather than the lotion. And tbh, my skin got a lot less oily. Probably because my face wasn’t in overdrive to hydrate the skin more. It helped some people like me, but I thought I might tell you in case you want to dry it.
I developed a horrible picking addiction over the past year and truly destroyed my skin. Now I’m on the long road to healing & fading all of the scars left behind. The pimple patches have been a huge help in stopping myself from picking and I agree that hero cosmetics is the best out of the several brands I’ve tried. I know you made a similar video to this before a year or so ago but thank you so much for making one again and including your current top product recommendations
I too was picking wayyy too much. My skin is mostly cleared up of new acne. How has your scar recovery gone and have you leaned anything along the way?
@@mariamtee I have tried many sunscreens from cheap to expensive and found the Cerave ultra light moisturizer with spf works great doesn’t feel like sunscreen and is hydrating without being oily it’s also non comedogenic.
Love the look! Those earrings are adorbs! Thanks for the explanation how salicylic acid cleanser is good for both acne-prone skin and wiser skin to clear pigmentation and acne. Post-menopausal acne is no joke. It's harder to clear up than when I was a teenager!

Azelaic acid is a must have for me, to clear out pores, reduce redness and prevent acne. Remember to use it all over your face regularly as a preventive...not just when and wherever acne/redness appears. You should see immediate results if you do it this way. I have never had to use masks, or (non-Dray approved) suckers/scraper appliances since using it. I have never had irritation from Azelaic acid either. Good luck!👱♀️❤
@@farahhabib8298 In some countries you need a prescription from a doctor. Some countries, like Australia, it is over-the-counter at drug (chemist) stores. I buy Azclear Medicated Lotion, by a brand called Ego. Ask you pharmacist, he/she should be able to advise you.👱♀️❤
I love incorporating AHAs and BHAs into my skin care routine! So much better than physically scrubbing my face and damaging the skin's natural barrier. Awesome video! :)
For Acne awareness month, could you break down different types of acne and if there are any treatments for different types? Like hormonal acne for instance
I have had hormonal acne since December 2020. I had it in December 2018-July 2019 and it cleared on its own. Now it’s lingering much longer and I have to decide whether to use isotretinoin or not. I don’t have hair to shed, that would maybe be worse than the hormonal acne is shedding 50% of my hair, so I don’t know what to do. My Derm and primary care seem to have less information than I do (because they have said so) and it breaks my confidence in trusting them.
Dr Daniel Sugai along with Dr Shah of Doctorly put up a short video yesterday for acne awareness month and discussed different types of acne and products.
I believe Dr Dray has spoken about this in many of her vids. All these actives that she mentioned in this video are highly effective at treating many types of acne, except for nodules and cystic. Salicylic Acid Cleanser in the morning and Adapalene at night will make a huge difference. You can also add Azelaic Acid for a better result. Always start slow. Introduce each active one by one. For example, if you choose to try Salicylic Acid first, use it for at least 2 weeks, and if your skin can tolerate it, you can add Adapalene into your routine.
@@msi8311 What have you been using to treat the acne so far? If it cleared up on its own the first time, I suppose you sought medical attention after the December 2020 breakouts, aka about 6 months ago? I doubt you've had time to try many avenues of treatment in that time frame, so if you're scared of hair loss/dryness with isotretinoin I'd seek other treatment options first (eg. topicals (retinoids, bha, aha, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, spot treatments, etc.), oral contraception, doxycycline, spironolactone) . Even when my acne was at it's worst isotretinoin was considered a last resort option because of the side effects. If you feel like your dermatologist is not as helpful as you'd like you can always seek a second opinion and perhaps look for someone who specializes in more severe acne cases.
Ok guys adapalene and benzoyl peroxide finally cleared my face completely. 🥺 If I hadn’t found Dr. Dray I would probably never have made it… This video is just what I need now, the marks are all that’s left!
Thanks Dr. Dray. I’ve dealt with acne all my life and since August of last year I simplified my skincare routine and started using adapalene and my acne is so much more under control. I still get clogged pores but my skin is the best it’s ever been. I watch every single one of your videos. I’m thankful that you do these videos to help those of us that struggle with these skincare concerns. P.S. I absolutely love your vlogs too 🥰
Thanks for this! I have been guiding my 19 year old son to have a better skin care routine and this fits the bill!!! He is good about washing and self care but his acne still flares badly. So this routine will help him see the benefits of products I have bought for him. Especially sunscreen!!
I have struggled with adult acne for over a decade, and it was only when I started using the drugstore products you recommended my skin has cleared up substantially. Never in my life did I see myself being able to wear a tinted moisturizer as my "foundation". I had largely used full coverage in the past. Thank you for your informative videos -- backed by science -- and for making clearer skin more accessible (instead of spending $200 on a moisturizer and $50 on a face wash).

I LOVE YOU! As someone struggling with cystic acne - Your guidance and product recommendations make the most sense to me out of all the skincare videos I watched. I am fortunate to have found you :)
The most effective product I've found is the Murad Rapid Relief Spot Treatment. Use it when you first see or feel the pimple coming up and keep using it until the red mark fades, if it makes it to that point. May have to use for several days but for someone who has dealt with the red marks for years, this is an amazing product.
Reaching a lot more people than just a doctor’s office it seems many of our appointments are at all at the same time! 😁 Thank you for your continuing help! ☕️💃🏻⭐️
Cetaphil sheer mineral I am LOVING. My skin is soooo picky too. I top it with the cetaphil redness relieving tinted moisturizer for the iron oxides & that is my “makeup” for the day as well.. & I feel more protected w 2 layers :) My skin can clog from many products that other ppl love & haven’t had an issue so far.
You have such a beautiful smile. You should smile big even if it comes at the cost of lines around your eyes. Worthwhile trade-off in my opinion. A beautiful expressive smile trumps everything!
It brings me happiness the products you recommend are available on drugstore. I'm from Indonesia (originally) and getting CeraVe could be hard and expensive there, now that I've moved to Canada I can find everything you recommends!
My TH-cam history: hyperpigmentation skin care routine ... I was delighted when I saw you made a video of the topic ! Thanks for the information DR Dray!
I have used a lot of high end retinol products... I was super unsatisfied with results and cost! I started using the differin gel and omg this stuff works! Results in a couple weeks!! I highly recommend this product!! Just an FYI... it does cause drying of the skin... I was normal/combo and definitely needed to add an extra moisturizer into my routine to combat drying skin.... but sooo worth it!
Guys for sure it's a great advice but for me personally what helped a ton was laser. You have to go to a doctor that really specializes in laser treatments so they can choose the laser based on your skin. But honestly, the biggest difference in redness out of everything I have done, and I had a lot of redness because of the heavy acne I had when I was young and some from a chemical burn. Laser REALLY helped for both.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray and everyone . This was fabulous 👏 I just turned 58 and still have oily acne prone skin. Like other I did pick my blemishes and blackheads and have marks . I just took the plunge a few days ago and just started the acnefree adapalene. This was so helpful. You look absolutely stunning in those earrings and top .

Perfectly timed! Your content is amazing and links to products makes it so simple to shop. Thank you Dr. Dray for helping us combat teen acne due to hormones and sports equipment (football and wrestling headgear.)
The tret purge around weeks 6-8 left me with some PIH that is sticking around even with daily sunscreen. I have everything for this routine already, except for a niacinamide moisturizer which I just picked up. I’m excited to give it a shot!
So helpful, thank you! As a bonus, the way you edit commercials into your videos is so seamless and unintrusive, I'm going to reinforce that behavior by watching them. lol Sending well wishes to your mother and hoping her treatment is going even better than anticipated.
The Equate version of the Cerave night time moisturizer has Methylisothiazolinone in the ingredients. I had a rash until I realized it was my moisturizer that was causing the problem.
Oh my goodness wait, I think this might be my problem. I developed dermatitis above my eyelid and I’ve been using cvs version of cerave night time and it doesnt feel the same
Any ideas why azelaic acid hasn't made it into the drugstore lines? It works so well for post acne marks. I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned in this video if it was in a mainstream product that WalMart carried.
My derm pretty much told me topical products won't do anythinf for acne spots and hyperpigmentation (besides something like tretinoin). He said it requires a physical treatment like microneedling. It's the most cost effective & successful way to completely even out skin tone and get rid of spots. Otherwise you're spending hundreds on skincare products for months (if not years) trying to get those spots to go away.
@@marijaperkovic4384 most scars and hyperpigmentation are deep in the dermis. Topical products applied to the top layer of skin (epidermis) aren't going to reach those spots or do anything to lighten them. Only exfoliants and microneedling can gradually remove layers of skin to bring those scars from deep in the dermis to the surface and disappear/lighten them. Microneedling causes skin to turnover much quicker...thus a few treatments bring those spots to the surface in a couple of weeks/months as opposed to a year or more of just using topical products and letting skin shed on its own.
I guess it really depends on the specific dark spots. If they're super deep and red/purple, getting rid of them with regular products won't work but if its just the upper layers of the skin topicals will be fine. If you're spending hundreds of dollars for products or for micro needling in his office is the real question here.
@@inkompetenzkompensationsko4188 right--they work if your scars are right at the epidermis/top level. But if you're someone with deep deep spots in your dermis, you might as well shell out the $ once and be done with it, rather than spending hundreds/thousands over the course of several years on serums, exfoliants, etc.
@@kaylan2083 I am tellimg from my own experience that some products did help me. You can do whatever you want and whatever you can afford. I am nor saying that microneedling does not work. I am planning on doing it as soon as I can
Would you consider doing a video for natural cleansers, toners, and moisturizers? A lot of brands, my skin is sensitive to the chemicals in some of the brands. Plus, I have acne prone skin.
I am so impressed w the Cetaphil sunscreen too. They killed it with their first line of “real” (non-moisturizer water resistant) spfs. So much better than Cerave non-tinted ones imo. I think the Cetaphil liquid one is actually almost an exact match for the Colorscience total face shield original formula, sans the tint obviously. If Cetaphil could tint that thing, we’d have a drugstore dupe!
I’ve been enjoying both of those sunscreens. I use the Cetaphil mineral face liquid first, and then use the Cerave tinted one on top to hide the white cast. It’s nice for summer, but I’ll probably have to find a different combo for winter due to the tint being orangey.
You look so pretty ❤️ glowing and growing! 😍✨ I’ve been watching you since the beginning, at this point you’re part of my life! Thank you for everything you do!

I love the watch when you're applying the second sunscreen!
Cetaphil sheer mineral I am LOVING. My skin is soooo picky too. I top it with the cetaphil redness relieving tinted moisturizer for the iron oxides & that is my “makeup” for the day as well.. & I feel more protected w 2 layers :)
My skin can clog from many products that other ppl love & haven’t had an issue so far.
This should be a series 😊 you could do different common skin conditions! Thanks as always!
I have olive skin and have always struggled with post acne scars or even burn scars. The only thing they helped for sure was sunscreen.
You have such a beautiful smile. You should smile big even if it comes at the cost of lines around your eyes. Worthwhile trade-off in my opinion. A beautiful expressive smile trumps everything!
It brings me happiness the products you recommend are available on drugstore. I'm from Indonesia (originally) and getting CeraVe could be hard and expensive there, now that I've moved to Canada I can find everything you recommends!
Having a rough day and so glad to take a small break and watch your new video. Always makes me feel better.
My TH-cam history: hyperpigmentation skin care routine ...
I was delighted when I saw you made a video of the topic ! Thanks for the information DR Dray!
What has helped me most is to stop picking on my skin. ❤️
Tretinoin has helped me a lot! So please don't be TRET-ened and go ask your derma about it.. 💕

As usual, when I run into a skin problem, you sense it, and make a video on how to deal with it right on time for me.
I have used a lot of high end retinol products... I was super unsatisfied with results and cost! I started using the differin gel and omg this stuff works! Results in a couple weeks!! I highly recommend this product!! Just an FYI... it does cause drying of the skin... I was normal/combo and definitely needed to add an extra moisturizer into my routine to combat drying skin.... but sooo worth it!
I'm wondering...What do you use it for? Anti-aging, acne or??
Happy day before Friday
I've been using Differin Gel for years and it does wonders for my acne!
You're the best Dr. Dray! Thank you for your daily content. ❤
I'm so glad I came across this channel
this pair of earrings look so so good on you!!
This video couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks Andrea!
You're so welcome!
Could you please do a skin care routine with the best products for fading post acne marks? thanks.
Happy Thursday! Today is Canada Day Celebration!
Happy Canada day
Canada loves Dr Dray! ❤🇨🇦💯🍁 Sending love from Toronto.
Guys for sure it's a great advice but for me personally what helped a ton was laser. You have to go to a doctor that really specializes in laser treatments so they can choose the laser based on your skin. But honestly, the biggest difference in redness out of everything I have done, and I had a lot of redness because of the heavy acne I had when I was young and some from a chemical burn. Laser REALLY helped for both.
I just bought the CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum. Looking forward to using it! It’ll be my first retinol.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray and everyone . This was fabulous 👏 I just turned 58 and still have oily acne prone skin. Like other I did pick my blemishes and blackheads and have marks . I just took the plunge a few days ago and just started the acnefree adapalene. This was so helpful. You look absolutely stunning in those earrings and top . Have a fabulous day love to mom and Tybee 🥰🥰🌺🌻

As always, you are a mountain of information and I love that. Not only do you tell us what the best products are but why. I appreciate that.

Perfectly timed! Your content is amazing and links to products makes it so simple to shop. Thank you Dr. Dray for helping us combat teen acne due to hormones and sports equipment (football and wrestling headgear.)
Happy doctors' day, Dr Dray ! ❤️
I love your videos and shared them with my adult daughter! Great info and you are so relatable!
The tret purge around weeks 6-8 left me with some PIH that is sticking around even with daily sunscreen. I have everything for this routine already, except for a niacinamide moisturizer which I just picked up. I’m excited to give it a shot!
happy thursday doc!
Happy Thursday
Happy Thursday Dr Dray!
Morning!
Thanks to you my niece and nephew are happy no acne, your knowledge can make a big difference and change life.
So helpful, thank you! As a bonus, the way you edit commercials into your videos is so seamless and unintrusive, I'm going to reinforce that behavior by watching them. lol
Sending well wishes to your mother and hoping her treatment is going even better than anticipated.
The Equate version of the Cerave night time moisturizer has Methylisothiazolinone in the ingredients. I had a rash until I realized it was my moisturizer that was causing the problem.
Oh my goodness wait, I think this might be my problem. I developed dermatitis above my eyelid and I’ve been using cvs version of cerave night time and it doesnt feel the same
Sameeee
Albolene > Ponds
I tried switching to Ponds bc everyone recommends it. It doesn’t take off makeup like Albolene does!
Happy almost holiday weekend Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ☀️☕🥳🍵
Happy Thursday Reed😃😃
Happy Thursday 🇺🇸

Any ideas why azelaic acid hasn't made it into the drugstore lines? It works so well for post acne marks. I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned in this video if it was in a mainstream product that WalMart carried.
I feel like this video was speaking more to clear acne rather than the marks.
The Neutrogena salicylic acid face wash is pretty good too even though it has fragrance and it's very affordable
Definitely going to buy some of these products. Thanks, Dr. Dray!!!
Wow. This is literally one of my only problems I can't thank you enough.
My derm pretty much told me topical products won't do anythinf for acne spots and hyperpigmentation (besides something like tretinoin). He said it requires a physical treatment like microneedling. It's the most cost effective & successful way to completely even out skin tone and get rid of spots. Otherwise you're spending hundreds on skincare products for months (if not years) trying to get those spots to go away.
Really? I feel like products help me woth hyrepigmentation
@@marijaperkovic4384 most scars and hyperpigmentation are deep in the dermis. Topical products applied to the top layer of skin (epidermis) aren't going to reach those spots or do anything to lighten them. Only exfoliants and microneedling can gradually remove layers of skin to bring those scars from deep in the dermis to the surface and disappear/lighten them. Microneedling causes skin to turnover much quicker...thus a few treatments bring those spots to the surface in a couple of weeks/months as opposed to a year or more of just using topical products and letting skin shed on its own.
I guess it really depends on the specific dark spots. If they're super deep and red/purple, getting rid of them with regular products won't work but if its just the upper layers of the skin topicals will be fine. If you're spending hundreds of dollars for products or for micro needling in his office is the real question here.
@@inkompetenzkompensationsko4188 right--they work if your scars are right at the epidermis/top level. But if you're someone with deep deep spots in your dermis, you might as well shell out the $ once and be done with it, rather than spending hundreds/thousands over the course of several years on serums, exfoliants, etc.
@@kaylan2083 I am tellimg from my own experience that some products did help me. You can do whatever you want and whatever you can afford. I am nor saying that microneedling does not work. I am planning on doing it as soon as I can
Perfect timing!! I respect you so much Dr.Dray!
happy Thursday everyone!
Hapy Thursday!
Best facial tools? Facial cleansing brushes or silicone vibration cleansing device, blackhead removers, exfoliators for flakes skin, etc
Could you please make a skin care routine for pigmentation specifically?
Would you consider doing a video for natural cleansers, toners, and moisturizers? A lot of brands, my skin is sensitive to the chemicals in some of the brands. Plus, I have acne prone skin.
this is the video i didn’t know i needed. thanks Dr. Dray! 💜
Love these recommendations
Pimple patches are amazing. I hate those green spots but no not to squeeze so fab for hiding :)
Dr Dray-I know you are reviewing Walmart products but the new, updated Drmtlgy tinted universal tint is AMAZING. Love this helpful video
I am so impressed w the Cetaphil sunscreen too. They killed it with their first line of “real” (non-moisturizer water resistant) spfs. So much better than Cerave non-tinted ones imo. I think the Cetaphil liquid one is actually almost an exact match for the Colorscience total face shield original formula, sans the tint obviously. If Cetaphil could tint that thing, we’d have a drugstore dupe!
I’ve been enjoying both of those sunscreens. I use the Cetaphil mineral face liquid first, and then use the Cerave tinted one on top to hide the white cast. It’s nice for summer, but I’ll probably have to find a different combo for winter due to the tint being orangey.
You look so pretty ❤️ glowing and growing! 😍✨ I’ve been watching you since the beginning, at this point you’re part of my life! Thank you for everything you do! As a person who suffers from terrible anxiety and depression, you’re videos have helped me out so much and give me life. Beyond the amazing skincare tips and tricks … I am thankful for YOU ❤️
i just adore her
Like that Cerave tinted SPF you recommended. Colorscience AND LaRoche posay still my faves!
Thanks so much for this video. I discovered your channel only a couple of weeks ago and I am already seeing improvements in my skin!
dr.dray is reading my mind! I have "mask-ne" acne from the masks and now I wanted the marks to fade
@@user-zj2bs3zl3p you have NO subscribers 🙄😒I wonder why
Happy Thursday! Have a great day! 😁
You too
did you read my comments?👁👄👁 THANK YOUUUU I NEEDED THIS!!!!i have so many on my back,a little on shoulders and a big mark that looks like a mole on my chest 😭😭😭
Hey! Please Can you do a post accutane skincare routine? What’s safe? Retinol, laser, BHA’s? Thank You!!!
I’ve just recently got into facial sunscreen! It’s really a must have ! 💯
I'm loving the Cerave Sheer tint. I think they made the color less orange so it is better for me. I all these products are very affordable. I hope to reach this level of care little by little.
I needed this so badly.! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much! I just got so many acne by wearing mask all day
Dr Dray can you please do a repeat of this but with Asian products? You have quite a base of us here too!
Just what I needed!!!! Thank you for the vid!
