I once heard an 'expert' claim that cleansers don't matter that much because they don't stay on the skin long enough to provide real results. From my experience, that isn't true, but I still don't understand how something I rinse off helps. I'm sure there's a scientific explanation. Also, great video. Super helpful.
Salicylic acid immediately starts working the second it hits your skin leaving it on for 1 to 3 minutes is sufficient enough to see results. However, it is a much slower process than a leave on treatment
Think about things you don't want on your skin, like household cleaners or strange bodily fluids or even permanent marker. Would you feel safe rubbing them into your skin as long as you could rinse them off? Some effects happen quickly!
I was a bit miffed when you said not to use the CeraVe products I just re-stocked 😮. However, to be fair, I was just barely treading water with those, I just thought it was the best I could do. I purchased the new CeraVe products, the BP Acne Face wash and the salicylic acid treatment, and wow, game-changers. My acne is nearly gone. I even stopped using Noritate, which had stopped working anyway, after many years use. Thanks!
Loved this video. It’s really informative and the information can be used right away. I had no idea benzoyl peroxide was a cheap product and that products with their active ingredients listed in the back were medicated ones. Thanks for the video, doc!
I am 30 and never had acne in my entire life not even when I was a teen but since April 2021 I've started having this HUGE acne going on all over my jawline and chin. I believe hormonal acne. Few months ago It faded but recently got back. So tired of it. I have the SA cleanser from Cerave but can't use it everyday since my skin gets sensitive and irritated after 2 days of using. I will definitely try the acne cleanser from Cerave. Fingers crossed 🤞 thanks Doc. 😊
Benzoyl Peroxide is GREAT... if you only wear WHITE clothing, and only sleep on WHITE sheets, and only use WHITE towels. Otherwise... 😩(Benzoyl Peroxide users - you can fill in the rest...)
So true, this stuff ruins everything it comes into contact with! My son will just pulls a t-shirt over his head and now the neck is bleached splotchy, not cute. If he touches his faces and then his pants, bleached. It's not that he's walking around with a thick layer on his face either. Once applied, if he sweats or gets a little oily later it's enough to allow this stuff be easily transferred.
AcneFree has a good NEW BP fragrance free cleanser 5 ounces for approx $8 , depends on sale. Ok, you just nentiined it. As dr dray says, yiu can use BP under arms Panoxyl often on sale.
This channel is soooo underrated ! Love it so much ! So useful ! Better than other derm only push you to buy this gentle cleanser while you told us it is not effective, love it ! Because I really think it is not effective 😂😂😂
Dr.Maren, can i have an advice from u on what cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen for a beginner in skin care in which i have oily, acne-prone skin and sensitive skin. i had also contact dermatitis while i'm using otc skin care products. thank u so much for your future advice🙏🙏.
To really help our budgets even more can you do some videos in store brands because some of the products you recommend are too expensive for many of us feeling the pinch of inflation these days. Stores like target and Walmart and cvs have a lot to choose from. Can you help point out the good store brands out there at truly budget prices? Thx.
Darn it, I actually been using Renewing SA Cleanser for 5 months. I just switched to Acne Control Cleanser last week because I couldn’t find the Renewing one. Man; I wasted so much time.
I would use it just targeted on the areas where you get acne. You shouldn't be using it as an all over facial cleanser esp around your eyes. I use the PanOxly after i do my normal facial cleansing, then I massage it into targeted areas where I get acne, then rinse with cool water. Hope this helps!
Im new here but ive followed a lot of utube dermatologist. All of em pushinv their own brands or popular brands. I used TO niacinamide ive got blackheads on cheeck. Been 4 months i wanna kms cause it wint go. I use SA serum now ill start with physical exfoliation but my skin is so sensitive, irritated.
Can you use salicylic acid cleanser when using retinol, I have acne prone skin ( 1-2 pimples often appears on my face) but retinol caused more acne and a lot of white heads, it’s been 4 months and I use retinol 3 times a week as a skin cycling routine, please advise me thanks 🙏🏼
How do you decide on using a cleanser with salicylic acid rather than benzoyl peroxide? I’m thinking of my grandkids’ skin - they’re all preteen or early teens and their skin is just starting to get a few breakouts.
I was just reading about that very thing. The advice I saw is that if you want to rid your skin of blackheads and whiteheads, go with salicylic. If the skin is more inflammed with pustules and cysts, go with benzoyl peroxide. Hope that helps
👌👌 What happened to the "Effective yet gentle acne cleanser" (face wash) by Neutrogena? It was in an orange bottle. Did they did they discontinue the item or Is the one you mentioned a newer version of it?
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
Cetaphil makes a new salicylic body wash. It’s very inexpensive, it’s creamy, and not drying. I’m using it on my face and so far so good.
Cerave 2% acne gel is the most effective for acne control. Pricey at $20 but worth it. It works well regardless of cleanser you use!! Trust me.

How do you know which one to choose salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide?

This is just a suggestion.. please use whatever is working for you
The Cerave Control Cleanser is amazing! I wish I would've started using it earlier.
Loved this video. It’s really informative and the information can be used right away.

Also. Try taking a supplement called DIM. I had this same situation, and it completely got rid of it.
A prescription for Spironolactone will help immensely.
God Bless 🙏🏻😇

I only use it the shower because it bleaches fabrics.
The Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash is too drying for me. I want to try the Cerave Psoriasis Cleanser.
Is it okay to use 2% salicylic acid cleanser 2 times a day if your skin can tolerate?
Thank you for this video ! What do u recommend for moisturizer after washing with these products ??
Paula's choice having big anniversary sale, with gwps
AcneFree has a good NEW BP fragrance free cleanser 5 ounces for approx $8 , depends on sale. Ok, you just nentiined it. As dr dray says, yiu can use BP under arms
Panoxyl often on sale.
Could you comment on stubborn cleanser by neutrogena is it more beneficialnit has salicilic acid and glycolic acid and other ingredients
This channel is soooo underrated ! Love it so much ! So useful ! Better than other derm only push you to buy this gentle cleanser while you told us it is not effective, love it ! Because I really think it is not effective 😂😂😂
Very informative, thank you 😊
This was a really useful video thank you so much

The La Roche Posay cleanser does contain menthol. This could be problem for some people.
I thought you’ve recommended SA cleanser in your other videos?? It’s not good anymore?
So between LRP vs Cerave Acne Cleanser, would you recommend LRP?
I would say yes
I use Panoxly at night and neutrogena in the morning.
Please, can you make a video about dry sensitive skin products.

do you still need a 2% cleanser for just comedones?
Darn it, I actually been using Renewing SA Cleanser for 5 months. I just switched to Acne Control Cleanser last week because I couldn’t find the Renewing one. Man; I wasted so much time.
Same! I didn’t realize it wasn’t medicated
Is it over drying to the skin is it oil free the cleaner
PanOxyl Creamy Acne Wash 10% Benzoyl Peroxide burns my eye every time I use it...
I would use it just targeted on the areas where you get acne. You shouldn't be using it as an all over facial cleanser esp around your eyes. I use the PanOxly after i do my normal facial cleansing, then I massage it into targeted areas where I get acne, then rinse with cool water. Hope this helps!
Try the lower strength and don’t use around your eyes.
Is this safe to use during pregnancy?
Im new here but ive followed a lot of utube dermatologist. All of em pushinv their own brands or popular brands. I used TO niacinamide ive got blackheads on cheeck. Been 4 months i wanna kms cause it wint go. I use SA serum now ill start with physical exfoliation but my skin is so sensitive, irritated.
What do you recommend instead of Benzol peroxide as in the EU restrictions don't allow us to have products with Benzol Peroxide

Can you do this for rosacea? I’m so tired of always being red 😢
Paula's choice hss some good items
Cetaphil and cliniqye have ant-red products
Dr dd one about three months ago
The SA cleanser has 0.5% cleanser.
👌👌
What happened to the "Effective yet gentle acne cleanser" (face wash) by Neutrogena? It was in an orange bottle. Did they did they discontinue the item or Is the one you mentioned a newer version of it?
Are you talking about the deep clean cream cleanser. If yes, I don’t think it’s discontinued because I bought some a while ago.
Can you please help me out. One time i went to the dermatologist & he told me i have fungul acne. What is something i can use to treat this?
Got a serious question. .....can I buy a kit online and remove a skin tag myself or not recommended?
I have the same issue too!
Not recommended by Dermatologists because it may not really be a skin tag. Also some of those kits don’t even work in my experience.
Do you have videos on hyperpigmentation toutine?? I'm 37 and this has got to go lol
Does anyone know why PanOxyl bleaches towels/clothing?
Because it has benzyol peroxide in it. Peroxide can bleach clothes, towels etc. Anything with color, it may stain.
Can't afford even more than $10 on a cleanser bcz my mum won't let me touch her money 🤧
