I have read plenty of comments regarding your post "What's Your Most Recent Worst Purchase" and that leads my mind to this post! How many of poor quality (aggressive ingredients) and badly chosen cosmetic products could harm! Terrifying :(
this works too but what really helped me like amazingly helped; was following the *TRUEACNECURE. COM* system and within a few weeks i never had a pimple again
he is amazing!! and yes, very ahead, totally not just a trendy professional. nothing against trends, is just that i value life experience and the versatility that comes with it.
You are honestly my favourite beauty vlogger. You are to the point, educated, and clear and tell us what we NEED TO KNOW! I'm so bored of rambling videos that take ages to get to a vague point that is mostly just opinion and not fact anyway. You're honest and I believe what you tell me. You explained the science so I know why I need to look fr these products in particular. You're awesome Wayne, and where have you been all my life?!? I could have done with you around when I was a teenager!! x
If you have deep, cystic acne, retinol is a good product to use because like he said it alters the way the cells regenerate. Mainly by taking off the top layer of skin cells and letting all the new ones underneath come through to the top like they're supposed to. Skin is basically a giant conveyor belt, with new cells on the bottom layers and old ones on the top. When it's working correctly, every month or so the entire outer layer of skin cells falls off and new skin cells are pushed to the top. With cystic acne, this takes a lot longer, resulting in painful, deep, blackheads that can take a very long time to heal.
+argella1300 You are right in that retinol or a retinoid such as the retin A that Wayne uses does promote renewal or quicker production of new, more normal skin cells, I don't think they just fall off or even gently wash off. I believe this is why a good (chemical) exfoliate is needed such as an AHA or BHA like the ones Wayne mentioned to help with blackheads. Those exfoliates are necessary also for a brighter (vs duller) complexion. This is what I understand from several articles on the subject as well as the Paula's Choice website. If someone thinks I've come to the wrong conclusion, please feel free to correct me and guide me to a resource that explains it to the contrary. Just trying to help out all of my fellow skin care and cosmetic junkies, addicts, etc. I appreciate tips , education, and advice on the subject. Thanks! -J
+J BIRKH I had hundreds(sic!) of black and white heads literally all over my face for about 15 years and after zillion spent pounds/dollars/euros on over the counter products I started to apply Tretinoin 2 years ago and my b&w heads have been reduced to a minor issue with only a few left. Tretinoin speeds up cell turn over and exfoliates my skin, no need for any additional acids at least for me.
hey! Can I ask you which retinol product you used? I do not have acne, but my face is full of blackheades. I tried a couple of aha / bha products but they didn't seem to work for me.. D:
I was hoping you would mention Paula's Choice! I have loved her simple, scientific approach to gentle and effective skincare since the 1980's at least, and on TV shows before that. Her customer service is the very best.
I really can't thank you enough for making this video! I've had horrible blackheads my entire life and they were so embarrassing! Thanks to you (and Neutrogena) my skin looks so much better now! Thank you so much!!!
I seriously love your way to talk about any of these things! You deserve a price for respecting excellent educational method where people actually learn not only great self care and acceptance, but also mutual one through your perfect choice of words. I truly believe you are positively affecting the life of tons of women all over the world! Keep up the good work and thank you!
Hi Wayne! Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your advice. I was doubtful after the first few days of following your recommendation of cleansing gently with salicylic acid, but it's been just over 2 weeks now and I've banished the bumps on my skin and haven't had a blackhead breakout since! You're a lifesaver! ♡♡♡
Excellent advice. Particularly regarding not using nose strips because they can break capillaries. Also love that you made the point of addressing the root cause. Nice one Wayne.
You're the only male youtuber I ever follow for make up instructions and trust me I really really really love your work. You're just amazing. How will I ever thank you for all the help that you've provided. Thanks for this video and ofcourse the one where you show how to apply eyeshadows on hooded eyes. I've never ever founded more appropriate tutorial for my eyes than yours. Much love to you. ❤️😘 And you're amazing. !!
I've watched literally hundreds of makeup tutorial/tip videos and haven't learned anything new and I've only watched 3 videos from your channel and I've already learned a lot of new and helpful things so thanks! :)
I've been battling blackheads on my nose and cheeks for years. Been using pore strips since college and now know why the sides of my nose tend to be red. Going to try some of the products mentioned in the info.
How long do you leave them on? I used to have trouble with the pore strips, but if I leave them on for an hour (long enough for the skin to produce oil), the blackheads slip out easily and the strips don't irritate my skin.
shyvicki Yes, do try that. Sometimes I leave them on for longer than that if I'm taking a nap with one on. The oils produced by your skin can help you avoid peeling off layers of skin that are not ready to come off, which makes removing the strips much gentler and safer.
Squirrel_Of_Mistri oh. never thought of leaving the strip that long. so if i leave it longer until my skin produce the oils, the strips will not damage the skin that much right? what about the blackheads that have stuck on the strips?? wouldnt it not properly be pulled out since the strip got softer??
syimato They seem to do pretty well for me when left on for an hour or so. Lots of blackheads come out, and my skin doesn't get peeled off in the process. Before I figured out that I need to leave them on longer, I had an unfortunate incident where I peeled off a small patch of skin. Ouch!
I watched this for the first time a few months ago. Since then I've changed my approach to blackheads (before I was only using pore strips), and wow, my skin is so much better it's amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
ive struggled with black heads for years and ive talked to everyone to find out how to get rid of them but nothing has worked , this video has helped me so much I now know what I need to look for and what to use thank you so much loving your videos I could watch them all day :)
I think Wayne is pretty much hitting the nail on the head with this video. BHAs work fabulously for unclogging pores, and trying a retinoid is the best thing I've ever done for my skin. To those of you using pore strips, what you're trying to get rid of, especially on the nose, are more than likely sebacious filiaments which you can't get rid of, and aid the skin. Stop wasting your money on pore strips!
Hiiiiiiiiii, WG. Will you please do an updated version of this video with current product recommendations?? Especially for very dry/sensitive skin. Thanks!
Wayne, could you please do an update with products that are available in South Africa and will not "break the bank" just to get them ? I love the fact that you always keep it short, sweet & PRACTICAL... that we as "everyday people" can also do your makeup techniques 😃
Im loving your videos for men. I had no idea what I was doing and it was looking so obvious when I left the house. Many thanks for being clear and understandable as well as making my skin look flawless.
Thank you so much! I had horrible blackheads on my nose and chin. After watching this I remembered that I had some cheap ointment from the chemist that has 2%salicylic in an emollient base. I started using it 5 nights ago, just a tiny smear at bedtime and already nearly all the pores are clear, without any irritation at all. Better still, the dry layer is gone and my skin feels more comfortable. Such great information.
+SweetxGuilt The Neutrogena Oil-Free Grapefruit Cleanser is what I usr and I love it. It is a salicylic acid treatment so it can be a little drying so just use a hydrating toner/essence/lotion afterwards
I use lemon juice, honey, and baking soda. Just mix and apply with a damp cloth. You can rub it in a bit but don't scrub!!! then rinse with warm water. For baby soft skin boil corn silk and add the reduced water to your moisturizer. I am 44 and people mistake my 21 year old son for my boyfriend. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... btw Wayne I love your work!!!
***** I have been doing it my whole adult life and I have never had a problem. I just turned 44 years old and was told I look 37 yrs WITHOUT makeup. I have beautiful skin not all rules apply to all skin types. This picture on my profile id shot in HD and is not filtered or retouched!
nowadays "charcoal mask" is so popular and its million videos and receipts and products. What do u think about this mask, would you recommend it, may be its good idea to shift masks because its not good for skin to make acid masks too often?
Yes!! That really worked. Noticeable difference after a few days using a BHA. Who knew is was that easy (makes me wonder about my esthetician! BHA would have been a concrete, good advice). Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I have tried so many products over the years and nothing worked effectively against blackheads. I've been using some of the products you recommended (Paula's choice resist cleanser, toner and BHA exfoliant) and they're working really well. I've only been using the products for a week or two and already there is a noticeable difference. Additionally, it's made the overall quality over my skin better. My face can get quite dry, but these products have helped a lot. I also got the Proactiv and Neutrogena products you recommended, but haven't tried them out yet. Thanks again.
As someone that's lived with enlarged pores my entire life I hope that Paula's Choice will be beneficial to me. As I've aged the pores just get larger. Runs in my family, esp the men. The Clinique is way over my budget. On Amazon they want close to and over $100.00 a bottle, I can't afford that. Paula's Choice is under $30.00 and has really great reviews. *fingers crossed*
Clinique Turnaround Concentrate was discontinued and replaced with Turnaround Revitalizing Serum, which has a lower pH (3.7-3.8). Would you recommend that for sensitive skin?
+Gigi I tried the discontinued version and it didn't work for me. This product contains a lot of silicones which can make blackheads worse or even cause breakouts on some people (like me).
+Senedra Mel Just to offer a contrasting opinion, I know lots of people report trouble with silicates but I've started using a serum on my face that's largely a silicate, and it's amazing and doing wonders for my dryness and breakouts. I just wanted to throw this out there for anyone else reading the thread, so that people aren't scared off from trying silicates just because of their bad rap right now! :)
I have a very sensitive skin, and I'm using this product for a month now, and I didn't have any problems! I didn't see much of a change in my skin tho... But I'm giving it a try! Maybe when I finish the bottle (I bought the large one), I will see some.
the further away from 7 the stronger the acid or alkaline in the product. Too much acid will strip the skin the same as too much alkaline will erode the skin & make it damaged. Most skin & haircare products need to stay within a 5 level to 8 level range to keep the cells healthy. From a former practicing cosmetologist
Thank you SO much for recommending Paula's Choice. I invested in some products like a beta hydroxy, and really love the results. I'm out of product now and can't stand being without it. It really turned my skin into something new! Thanks again!
Thank you for this video! I am wondering about a couple of things: do you apply retin-A to your entire face, or just to the problem areas? How long until you see visible results? Can you stop using it eventually? Your comments about the side-effects of retinoids is spot on, in my case. My dermatologist recommended blending pea-sized amount with CeraVe moisturizer. It has made it about 75% more tolerable for me.
I used the Clinique pore product and it did not do much for me. Infact it has gotten worse! So, that is why I am here searching for another solution...
Winifred Kent that acne site is bullshit, and that "diet" does not work. It even says Accutane never completely cures acne, even though Accutane does cure acne 100% OF THE TIME
@@RapAndChopin I wanted to tell you (4 years late), in case someone reads this: accutane not always completely cures acne. It depends con the acne. I have been suffering from acne for 15 years and have taken accutane 4 times :) Still have acne.
The retain a is so true. I had such awful breakouts, painful cyst, blackheads, you name it EVERYWHERE on my face, to the point that it was painful to rest my face on a pillow. My dermatologist put me on tretinoin cream and clindamycin phosphate foam and it was like a miracle. It took about four weeks to clear up well but I saw results in days. The pain and burning is almost intolerable at first but it really is worth it.
Bless you, Wayne! I am glad I viewed this right this instant, as I was planning to go apply a pore strip before bed! I now feel so foolish, because I have never thought to research the pros/cons of pore strips. I have always assumed that the amount of "gunk" viewable once the strip is taken off was a testament to their effectiveness. I would be so upset were they to damage my skin, and I hate that you had to learn the hard way what really does and does not work. On the other hand, I am so thankful that your skin problems have led you to teaching me so much!!! Paula's Choice products are quite impressive, and I will be ordering the recommended BHA exfoliant from her right away. Thanks again!
I'm late to the comment party (as usual) but I just saw this and have this question: I switched from Retin-A to glycolic acid (starting with 5%, moving to 10%, then 14%, now 20%) about 6 months ago, always mixing it with moisturizer. I know 20% seems like a lot, but it's just a drop mixed with moisturizing cream at bedtime. I have seen a remarkable difference in the clarity of my skin. No matter what I did, the dead skin cells would.not.budge. Do you think I could alternate products? I'd like to get the benefits of both...since more is ALWAYS better.
+Leslie Russell Yes. If you use tretinoin daily, every night or every other night, you can use up to 30% glycolic acid for exfoliating purposes like mask one - two times a week, but that day do not use tretinoin. Tretinoin makes skin to peel and flake. Sometimes is better to get rid of all those dead cells using enzyme peeling (15% is ok) or mechanical scrub. Of course, tretinoin works better as anti ageing treatment than AHA and so on.
he’s talking about exfoliating, there’s products that exfoliate without scrubbing your face, it does it chemically, they’re called AHAs or BHAs, the youtube channel “wishtrend” has some info on those type of products
Pore strips never worked for me, not like I’d see online with other ppl having them full of blackheads when pulled off... I feel like I learned a lot! And I’ll try out what I can of these tips 🤞🤞Thank you!
I've been using Alcohol Free Stridex for sensitive skin with aloe for the last couple years. I never knew why but I found that it works great. I just checked it out and turns out that it has Salicylic Acid! :)
Salicylic acid is more commonly known as Asprin. I saw a video where a girl just crushed up a baby Asprin, mixed it with water, and applied it like a face mask at night. What are your thoughts? Might be a cheaper alternative.
There's a reason why aspirin is made for headaches/minor pain relief and not for your face. Don't take serious advice like that from someone who isn't a professional makeup artist/estethician or dermatologist. I highly recommend Caroline Hiron's blog and her vlog channel for PROFESSIONAL skincare advice. She will set you on the right path, she has changed my skincare life!!
Amoroussparkle Well first of to answer your question about listening to people online...you shouldn't listen to everyone but that's where your sense of judgement should come into it.So unless you'er a complete idiot then why wouldn't you listen to THIS guy...have you seen his skin or are you blind? Also in his other videos he obviously knows what he's doing! Also real make up artist normally need to know about skin care since its part of the whole make up regiment thing! Second,he's not exactly just some 'random' guy online! You can look him up,these days we can it ''googling' but whatever! So he's not exactly 'random'!!!Oh and why would anyone go and ask a dermatologist unless they were either 'rich',which in this day and age there's not too many of them left. Or you have skin problems so bad your doctor,who is not certified to give recommendations like that unless he IS a dermatologist,tells you that you need one! Oh but I'm almost sure you would read some article in a magazine about 'skin care' and then 'listen' to it's random writer! Just because he's talking about it on TH-cam doesn't mean he's for one...random and two....it doesn't mean he doesn't know what he talking about! Not everyone has a dermatologist on call for whenever they get a tiny pimple!!! Plus the dermatologist not only charges you to just ask him his opinion but whatever medicine he prescribes also normally cost a shit load of money!!!! So THAT'S why I'd listen to HIM!!!!
It almost sounds like you started the video by saying "Today we're going to be talking about black kids and how to get rid of them." (hahaha) thanks for the video!
Mermaid Spears Not really, but I genuinely misheard it that way because I was shuffling through some stuff at the time and it just sounded wrong. hahaha
+Claudia Nuñez - unfortunately companies like Clinqiue and Neutrogena- which are mentioned in the box - are NOT cruelty free at all, hence my question.
he's done too many videos over the past 4 years to find the time to go back over.... In Australia we have Biore pore strips which are brilliant. If you wet the strip directly rather than your nose, they adhere really well. Probably available on Ebay?
Dan Kern makes BHA, AHA and so on, Paula's choice also still have a lot of the products mentioned. Oh and you can only get Retin-A in some countries without prescription, but otherwise at the pharmacy.
I have been trying to find that Neutrogena acne stress control 3 in 1 but it seems they have discontinued it! They seem to recommend the rapid clear defense lotion instead, does anyone know if that works as well as the other one?
I've had issues with blackheads for YEARS and all the googling and searching I've done...I've never seen anything about the PH level and effectiveness! Thanks for the tip!! I'm gonna try one of the products you listed and see if that helps
I tried using Paula choice 2% BHA liquid consistently for one month and it didn't help. In fact, I had a purge. Can anyone recommend an alternative for me?
Hello.. I'm currently in school for esthetics, I'll be done in seven weeks. I might be able to help. Buy an aloe vera plant. Use the sebum (plant liquid from inside the leaves) daily. Also roll a lemon on the counter, cut it in half, sprinkle about a tea spoon of granulated sugar on one of the halves. Exfoliate with the lemon this way once a week. I've seen really good results with this joint routine. Good luck, hope this helps!
you can try Differin, it clears acne very well. your skin will breakout more during the transition period before it completely clear out. In my country it's a controlled drug given by the dermatologist but it may be available in drugstores in other countries
I have had horrible black heads my whole life and the best thing is prescription (from a doctor) Vitamin A cream. It really works my blackheads have gone and they were the stubborn ones that dont' go away even with creams and strips!!!
Epiduo gets them good and proper, works on my terrible blackheads I've had over 1p hears and nothing else was ever able to even make a slight difference. 2 days after using epiduo I haven't got blackheads anymore
I just use my poo for everything it's very natural. I use as face wash, tooth paste and even to wash my hair. It has to be good quality poo tho soft and formed with no cracks. Let me know if your using this method good look
Humberto Vega Why is he "so pink?" Ummmmm...well...Caucasians can have a 'Pink' tone to their complexion that appears more pronounced due to the lower amount of melanin in our skin...Was that a real question?
I just got rid of acne for a few month now and I can totally agree with him when he says that you have to be gentle with your skin. I succeed getting rid of it in a very harming and invasive way, my skin was try and oily at the same time, it was constantly peeling of, I had to scrub often and the skin would just not moisturize. Now I use products based on thermal water from Avene and I am so happy with the way my skin is and the way thermal water calms a broken skin. If you had a bad fight with acne and you want to recover I strongly recommend thermal water.
People remember. This guy has no medical license. Its all based on trial and error. It will not help everyone or should I say all skin types. Most has to do with genetics and environment. Now get out there and find your own way. :)
my favorite for blackheads is oil massage. It pops the plugs out without irritating or thinning the skin. It also cleans makeup off better than anything. You'll know its working after a minute or two when your hands start to feel grainy. My complexion is less oily now too.
+agresticumbra I use coconut oil but traditionally whats used is a mix of sunflower and castor. you can use whatever you like, just not mineral oils (mineral oil is a lubricant not a moisturizer). Use hot water to remove it. I think it works best if done while the pores are enlarged, like right after a hot shower or in the shower.
+JuJuBea161 oh, its called "oil cleansing". Sometimes I have to have my sister do it... shes really good at targeting a large blackhead and making it slip out in seconds. I guess its her massage therapist training.
+agresticumbra oh, one more thing, if you prepare an oil for use in the shower or bathroom, don't allow water to get into the container because then it will grow mold. our other products like shampoos and cleansers and lotions have chemicals in them to prevent that from happening.
you're absolutely lovely Wayne! I know that sounds old fashioned but Id bet you are a real gentle-man!!!! not sure how I ended up on one of your videos but I loved it so I subscribed. The one about how to put mascara on with the brush 😀😀 youre just full of ideas 😀😀😀😀I look forward to watching more.
Neutrogena is really good. Well it's good for me anyway. I have been using it for a year now and I have noticed the change in my skin dramatically. Before, I had spots on my forehead and it was all patchy and not so great basically. But after using the neutrogena scrub and the face wash (it's the pink one) my skin is literally spot free, more even toned and smooth.
I know this is an old video, but hopefully you'll answer. My 9 y/o son keeps getting blackheads on his nose. I've exfoiliated them with a mask and then extracted them, but he's gotten more. I'm wondering if a BHA would be too strong for his skin. Would love to hear from you. BTW, love your videos, you get right to the tutorial and don't go on and on. :)

Wayne, could you please do an update with products that are available in South Africa and will not "break the bank" just to get them ?
I love the fact that you always keep it short, sweet & PRACTICAL... that we as "everyday people" can also do your makeup techniques 😃
Im loving your videos for men.
I had no idea what I was doing and it was looking so obvious when I left the house.
Many thanks for being clear and understandable as well as making my skin look flawless.
Thank you darling x
Can you do an update on this ? :)
Thank you so much! I had horrible blackheads on my nose and chin. After watching this I remembered that I had some cheap ointment from the chemist that has 2%salicylic in an emollient base. I started using it 5 nights ago, just a tiny smear at bedtime and already nearly all the pores are clear, without any irritation at all. Better still, the dry layer is gone and my skin feels more comfortable. Such great information.
I like it when he wink his eye ;)
Neutrogena - oil-free acne stress control hydrating acne treatment was discontinued :( Will you make a new video soon with updated products?
+SweetxGuilt The Neutrogena Oil-Free Grapefruit Cleanser is what I usr and I love it. It is a salicylic acid treatment so it can be a little drying so just use a hydrating toner/essence/lotion afterwards
I use lemon juice, honey, and baking soda. Just mix and apply with a damp cloth. You can rub it in a bit but don't scrub!!! then rinse with warm water. For baby soft skin boil corn silk and add the reduced water to your moisturizer. I am 44 and people mistake my 21 year old son for my boyfriend. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... btw Wayne I love your work!!!
***** I have been doing it my whole adult life and I have never had a problem. I just turned 44 years old and was told I look 37 yrs WITHOUT makeup. I have beautiful skin not all rules apply to all skin types. This picture on my profile id shot in HD and is not filtered or retouched!
Damn.. what if I don't want my black heads to go away from my nose? I love popping them. Am I too attached to them? Oh gosh what have I become?
Ommggg loooool luv itt
😂😂 lol
chltmdwp You remind me of my sister--she gets positively giddy at the idea of popping other people's/her own blackheads. :)
chltmdwp
you are a monster!
chltmdwp funny
I just saw the 'YOURE BEING LIED TO" video and THAT is why I love you and am subscribed to you. You are truly the most genuine person
nowadays "charcoal mask" is so popular and its million videos and receipts and products. What do u think about this mask, would you recommend it, may be its good idea to shift masks because its not good for skin to make acid masks too often?
Tina A dermatologist told me theres no evidence charcoal does anything for skin/acne. She recommended clay masks.
Tina They are crap.
Hello, thanks for the info! Can you recommend a good cleanser for combination skin with blackheads?
Yes!! That really worked. Noticeable difference after a few days using a BHA. Who knew is was that easy (makes me wonder about my esthetician! BHA would have been a concrete, good advice). Thank you. Thank you.
Wayne - the Neutrogena one has been discontinued. Do you know of one that's around the same price range that's good?
Thank you so much for all your good tips. I enjoy watching you doing all the tricks.
Please keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this video. I have tried so many products over the years and nothing worked effectively against blackheads. I've been using some of the products you recommended (Paula's choice resist cleanser, toner and BHA exfoliant) and they're working really well. I've only been using the products for a week or two and already there is a noticeable difference. Additionally, it's made the overall quality over my skin better. My face can get quite dry, but these products have helped a lot. I also got the Proactiv and Neutrogena products you recommended, but haven't tried them out yet. Thanks again.
Can you update this video? Products that you recommend? Pleaseeeeee!
Wayne do an updated video on this!!!
As someone that's lived with enlarged pores my entire life I hope that Paula's Choice will be beneficial to me. As I've aged the pores just get larger. Runs in my family, esp the men. The Clinique is way over my budget. On Amazon they want close to and over $100.00 a bottle, I can't afford that. Paula's Choice is under $30.00 and has really great reviews. *fingers crossed*
"None of that, please"
Aww thanks wAyne, genuinely seems like u care about my skin : ')
Clinique Turnaround Concentrate was discontinued and replaced with Turnaround Revitalizing Serum, which has a lower pH (3.7-3.8). Would you recommend that for sensitive skin?
+Gigi Definitely x
+Gigi I tried the discontinued version and it didn't work for me.
This product contains a lot of silicones which can make blackheads worse or even cause breakouts on some people (like me).
+Senedra Mel Just to offer a contrasting opinion, I know lots of people report trouble with silicates but I've started using a serum on my face that's largely a silicate, and it's amazing and doing wonders for my dryness and breakouts. I just wanted to throw this out there for anyone else reading the thread, so that people aren't scared off from trying silicates just because of their bad rap right now! :)
I have a very sensitive skin, and I'm using this product for a month now, and I didn't have any problems! I didn't see much of a change in my skin tho... But I'm giving it a try! Maybe when I finish the bottle (I bought the large one), I will see some.
the further away from 7 the stronger the acid or alkaline in the product. Too much acid will strip the skin the same as too much alkaline will erode the skin & make it damaged. Most skin & haircare products need to stay within a 5 level to 8 level range to keep the cells healthy. From a former practicing cosmetologist
Thank you SO much for recommending Paula's Choice. I invested in some products like a beta hydroxy, and really love the results. I'm out of product now and can't stand being without it. It really turned my skin into something new! Thanks again!
Thank you for this video! I am wondering about a couple of things: do you apply retin-A to your entire face, or just to the problem areas? How long until you see visible results? Can you stop using it eventually? Your comments about the side-effects of retinoids is spot on, in my case. My dermatologist recommended blending pea-sized amount with CeraVe moisturizer. It has made it about 75% more tolerable for me.
is it bad to use salisylic acid alone?
Amuru Deranto No its perfectly fine :)
ok. thank u very much :)
Great info. I've been suffering of blackheads for years. Will try.
2 of my favorite things in TH-cam. Wayne and blackheads. Yes I'm weird.
Shut up! Those are my two favs! You're talking about Wayne Goss, right?
Same here 😄
I used the Clinique pore product and it did not do much for me. Infact it has gotten worse! So, that is why I am here searching for another solution...
agree!
Winifred Kent that acne site is bullshit, and that "diet" does not work. It even says Accutane never completely cures acne, even though Accutane does cure acne 100% OF THE TIME

@@RapAndChopin I wanted to tell you (4 years late), in case someone reads this: accutane not always completely cures acne. It depends con the acne. I have been suffering from acne for 15 years and have taken accutane 4 times :) Still have acne.
The retain a is so true. I had such awful breakouts, painful cyst, blackheads, you name it EVERYWHERE on my face, to the point that it was painful to rest my face on a pillow. My dermatologist put me on tretinoin cream and clindamycin phosphate foam and it was like a miracle. It took about four weeks to clear up well but I saw results in days. The pain and burning is almost intolerable at first but it really is worth it.
Mr Goss you have evolved since this Video! ( compliment )😆
Your wink though 😍 It is lovely!
Bless you, Wayne! I am glad I viewed this right this instant, as I was planning to go apply a pore strip before bed! I now feel so foolish, because I have never thought to research the pros/cons of pore strips. I have always assumed that the amount of "gunk" viewable once the strip is taken off was a testament to their effectiveness. I would be so upset were they to damage my skin, and I hate that you had to learn the hard way what really does and does not work. On the other hand, I am so thankful that your skin problems have led you to teaching me so much!!! Paula's Choice products are quite impressive, and I will be ordering the recommended BHA exfoliant from her right away. Thanks again!
I'm late to the comment party (as usual) but I just saw this and have this question: I switched from Retin-A to glycolic acid (starting with 5%, moving to 10%, then 14%, now 20%) about 6 months ago, always mixing it with moisturizer. I know 20% seems like a lot, but it's just a drop mixed with moisturizing cream at bedtime. I have seen a remarkable difference in the clarity of my skin. No matter what I did, the dead skin cells would.not.budge. Do you think I could alternate products? I'd like to get the benefits of both...since more is ALWAYS better.
+Leslie Russell Yes. If you use tretinoin daily, every night or every other night, you can use up to 30% glycolic acid for exfoliating purposes like mask one - two times a week, but that day do not use tretinoin. Tretinoin makes skin to peel and flake. Sometimes is better to get rid of all those dead cells using enzyme peeling (15% is ok) or mechanical scrub. Of course, tretinoin works better as anti ageing treatment than AHA and so on.
I love you Wayne but I had no idea what you were saying
LOLXDD Ikr
he’s talking about exfoliating, there’s products that exfoliate without scrubbing your face, it does it chemically, they’re called AHAs or BHAs, the youtube channel “wishtrend” has some info on those type of products
Pore strips never worked for me, not like I’d see online with other ppl having them full of blackheads when pulled off...
I feel like I learned a lot! And I’ll try out what I can of these tips 🤞🤞Thank you!
Some links of the products would be great!
Absolutely, 100%, absolutely. Absolutely absolutely, 100%! 100% absolutely, absolutely 100%. Absolutely!!
I've been using Alcohol Free Stridex for sensitive skin with aloe for the last couple years. I never knew why but I found that it works great. I just checked it out and turns out that it has Salicylic Acid! :)
Your smart! A lot of people get on TH-cam and start talking out of their ass! You know what your talking about!
Salicylic acid is more commonly known as Asprin. I saw a video where a girl just crushed up a baby Asprin, mixed it with water, and applied it like a face mask at night. What are your thoughts? Might be a cheaper alternative.
thx...i'm going to try it!
There's a reason why aspirin is made for headaches/minor pain relief and not for your face. Don't take serious advice like that from someone who isn't a professional makeup artist/estethician or dermatologist. I highly recommend Caroline Hiron's blog and her vlog channel for PROFESSIONAL skincare advice. She will set you on the right path, she has changed my skincare life!!

clk9123 Why should people blindly trust anyone online? Don't listen here, if you are in doubt ask a doctor, not random people online.
Amoroussparkle Well first of to answer your question about listening to people online...you shouldn't listen to everyone but that's where your sense of judgement should come into it.So unless you'er a complete idiot then why wouldn't you listen to THIS guy...have you seen his skin or are you blind? Also in his other videos he obviously knows what he's doing! Also real make up artist normally need to know about skin care since its part of the whole make up regiment thing! Second,he's not exactly just some 'random' guy online! You can look him up,these days we can it ''googling' but whatever! So he's not exactly 'random'!!!Oh and why would anyone go and ask a dermatologist unless they were either 'rich',which in this day and age there's not too many of them left. Or you have skin problems so bad your doctor,who is not certified to give recommendations like that unless he IS a dermatologist,tells you that you need one! Oh but I'm almost sure you would read some article in a magazine about 'skin care' and then 'listen' to it's random writer! Just because he's talking about it on TH-cam doesn't mean he's for one...random and two....it doesn't mean he doesn't know what he talking about! Not everyone has a dermatologist on call for whenever they get a tiny pimple!!! Plus the dermatologist not only charges you to just ask him his opinion but whatever medicine he prescribes also normally cost a shit load of money!!!! So THAT'S why I'd listen to HIM!!!!
Your skin looks so beautiful! I use Formula 10.0.6, now called So Totally Clean which contains .5% salicylic acid.
It almost sounds like you started the video by saying "Today we're going to be talking about black kids and how to get rid of them." (hahaha) thanks for the video!
+BooMegoo hhhhhhhh
Mermaid Spears
Not really, but I genuinely misheard it that way because I was shuffling through some stuff at the time and it just sounded wrong. hahaha
xD
LoL
LMBO!!!😂😂😂
Can you recommend products that are effective against black heads and are cruelty free/vegan?
all from Paula's Choice and they are in the description box
+Claudia Nuñez - unfortunately companies like Clinqiue and Neutrogena- which are mentioned in the box - are NOT cruelty free at all, hence my question.
Thanks for the direct no nonsense delivery. Love the pink shirt and blond look :-)
Please update with products that still exist
he's done too many videos over the past 4 years to find the time to go back over....
In Australia we have Biore pore strips which are brilliant. If you wet the strip directly rather than your nose, they adhere really well. Probably available on Ebay?
Dan Kern makes BHA, AHA and so on, Paula's choice also still have a lot of the products mentioned. Oh and you can only get Retin-A in some countries without prescription, but otherwise at the pharmacy.
They all still exist
I have been trying to find that Neutrogena acne stress control 3 in 1 but it seems they have discontinued it! They seem to recommend the rapid clear defense lotion instead, does anyone know if that works as well as the other one?
I've had issues with blackheads for YEARS and all the googling and searching I've done...I've never seen anything about the PH level and effectiveness! Thanks for the tip!! I'm gonna try one of the products you listed and see if that helps
I tried using Paula choice 2% BHA liquid consistently for one month and it didn't help. In fact, I had a purge. Can anyone recommend an alternative for me?
Hello.. I'm currently in school for esthetics, I'll be done in seven weeks. I might be able to help. Buy an aloe vera plant. Use the sebum (plant liquid from inside the leaves) daily. Also roll a lemon on the counter, cut it in half, sprinkle about a tea spoon of granulated sugar on one of the halves. Exfoliate with the lemon this way once a week. I've seen really good results with this joint routine. Good luck, hope this helps!
let me recommend you this treatment. It worked fine on me -> badassbutton.com/free-acne-club-invitation926
let us be your own dermatologist online, copy and paste this link into your browser-> ACNE.SX
we discovered the final remedy for acne, copy and paste this link into your browser-> ACNE.SX
you can try Differin, it clears acne very well. your skin will breakout more during the transition period before it completely clear out. In my country it's a controlled drug given by the dermatologist but it may be available in drugstores in other countries
He says absolute 100% ALOT!
Thank You, so much finally got rid of most my blackheads, very big difference compared to be before. Thank You :)!xx
No joke, I thought he said "Black kids and how to get rid of them.". I was like, 'give them to me! I'll love them and keep them forever!'.
.....did you not read the title of the video?...
aww that's so cute
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wtf
That's kidnapping. Cute is no excuse to keep 'em.
this guy is amazing
Your video is teaching people something. Much love from Malaysia!
Simon Pegg??
I have had horrible black heads my whole life and the best thing is prescription (from a doctor) Vitamin A cream. It really works my blackheads have gone and they were the stubborn ones that dont' go away even with creams and strips!!!
what is the name of the cream?
Isn't that Retina A?
Epiduo gets them good and proper, works on my terrible blackheads I've had over 1p hears and nothing else was ever able to even make a slight difference. 2 days after using epiduo I haven't got blackheads anymore
Thank you, I've had blackheads for years now and nothing seems to work, hope this one does!
This is a well put together video it got right down to bussines and he actually does give a shit
They "basically" stop working ;)
Paula's choice is the absolute best!!!
your very relaxing to watch :)
My Gaydar is off the hook
Your comment is killing me!
+carrnil xD this reminds me of Glee
Ahahaha...
Wow! This comment comes from ignorance.
You addressed some of the chemistry very directly and simply, well done video.
I just use my poo for everything it's very natural. I use as face wash, tooth paste and even to wash my hair. It has to be good quality poo tho soft and formed with no cracks. Let me know if your using this method good look
Yeah, I've been using this technique for a while. It works I started with an red face but I took the poo off and it was clear. #gonatural
Pôô is a waste product, there is no nutrients or any natural goods in pure shit.
blacckk nigaa your name says that 😑
the Why are you so pink???
He is The Prince Bubblegum, The Father of Marshmallows and God Of Makeup
+fuwalex oh, of Course. I'm such an idiot for not noticing it!!!
Humberto Vega Why is he "so pink?" Ummmmm...well...Caucasians can have a 'Pink' tone to their complexion that appears more pronounced due to the lower amount of melanin in our skin...Was that a real question?
fuwalex sooo cute
I just got rid of acne for a few month now and I can totally agree with him when he says that you have to be gentle with your skin. I succeed getting rid of it in a very harming and invasive way, my skin was try and oily at the same time, it was constantly peeling of, I had to scrub often and the skin would just not moisturize. Now I use products based on thermal water from Avene and I am so happy with the way my skin is and the way thermal water calms a broken skin. If you had a bad fight with acne and you want to recover I strongly recommend thermal water.
People remember. This guy has no medical license. Its all based on trial and error. It will not help everyone or should I say all skin types. Most has to do with genetics and environment. Now get out there and find your own way. :)
i always love it when you wink
my favorite for blackheads is oil massage. It pops the plugs out without irritating or thinning the skin. It also cleans makeup off better than anything. You'll know its working after a minute or two when your hands start to feel grainy. My complexion is less oily now too.
+JuJuBea161 Which massage oil do you use, and how do you apply and remove it from your face?
+agresticumbra I use coconut oil but traditionally whats used is a mix of sunflower and castor. you can use whatever you like, just not mineral oils (mineral oil is a lubricant not a moisturizer). Use hot water to remove it. I think it works best if done while the pores are enlarged, like right after a hot shower or in the shower.
+JuJuBea161 oh, its called "oil cleansing". Sometimes I have to have my sister do it... shes really good at targeting a large blackhead and making it slip out in seconds. I guess its her massage therapist training.
+agresticumbra oh, one more thing, if you prepare an oil for use in the shower or bathroom, don't allow water to get into the container because then it will grow mold. our other products like shampoos and cleansers and lotions have chemicals in them to prevent that from happening.
your weight lose though! not hating, just v suprised and wow'd haha
Anyone notice how he keeps looking at himself instead of the camera it really bugs me
then don't watch.
Does the Michael Todd line also help? I just purchased the cleanser/toner from his line
you're absolutely lovely Wayne! I know that sounds old fashioned but Id bet you are a real gentle-man!!!! not sure how I ended up on one of your videos but I loved it so I subscribed. The one about how to put mascara on with the brush 😀😀 youre just full of ideas 😀😀😀😀I look forward to watching more.
Neutrogena is really good. Well it's good for me anyway. I have been using it for a year now and I have noticed the change in my skin dramatically. Before, I had spots on my forehead and it was all patchy and not so great basically. But after using the neutrogena scrub and the face wash (it's the pink one) my skin is literally spot free, more even toned and smooth.
I know this is an old video, but hopefully you'll answer. My 9 y/o son keeps getting blackheads on his nose. I've exfoiliated them with a mask and then extracted them, but he's gotten more. I'm wondering if a BHA would be too strong for his skin. Would love to hear from you. BTW, love your videos, you get right to the tutorial and don't go on and on. :)
How am I just now finding you in 2022?? You’re amazing! ❤
I like that all his videos are straight to the point!!
Paula's Choice seriously works!!! They have amazing products with great specials on frequently!
I use Aveeno clear complexion face wash. It really works and does contain salicylic acid.
