~Might miss some points, but hope I helped :) ~
The CeraVe Salicylic acid cleanser has corn oil in it so I'm wondering if that's okay to use 🤔
Wash face with oil free cleanser BEFORE moisturizing
2) Use oil free MOISTURIZER after cleansing
@@tinaa140 cerve SA renewing wash is fantastic and will absolutely help. I use it 1-2 times a week. Salicylic acid "eats" lipids so don't worry about the corn oil.
@@KD.... can you use an oil free cleanser if you have dry skin
1. consider washing face 2x a day
2. considering washing face after working out
3. make sure moisturiser thats oil-free
4. avoid pore strips
5. avoid extraction
6. dont skip sunscreen
7. try niacinamide
8. use chemical exfoliants 3 nights a week aka dont overdo it; for sensitive skin, consider using a wash-off chemical exfoliating product
9. definitely go for salicylic acid; be open minded about it, formulation matters too, not just the %
10. avoid using clay mask with kaolin while using chemical exfoliant (to avoid irritation from dryness)
11. dont squeeze blackheads
12. avoid self-tanners
13. avoid coconut oil
14. consider retinoids
Times for them would be great 😂
@flopbara salicylic acid should be fine for you :) just make sure to wear sunscreen everyday
I've used Paula's Choice 2% BHA for nearly 20 years. I almost NEVER get blackheads when using this product and my pores look great. It also gives me a beautiful glow. 💜
Graceful Beauty Hi, I just bought it. Can I ask how often you use it and am or pm? I use DE framboos 2x a week, so have a decent tolerance for acids, but thought adding Paula’s might help with the blackheads that have started appearing on my cheeks recently. I’m in my 40s and my pores are now a concern. 😕
@@catherinec.7199 I use it a few times a week. Sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night. And sometimes only in my tzone. I don't typically mix this with other acids and I probably wouldn't use at the same time as the DE Framboos. I usually pick only one to use...AHA or BHA. I may use one in the am and one in the pm. I will however use both ingredients combined only if the product is formulated already with both already in it like your DE product is. But of course always check with your Dr for the best advice 😁
Graceful Beauty So helpful, thank you!!! 💐 It’s so easy to get carried away looking for fast results but I’m going to exercise restraint by spacing them out and using separately. I appreciate your thoughts.
@allana neutrogena Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash 2% salicylic acid
my skin peels off after i use this product even though i moisturize with cerave pm afterwards. my hand skin that touches the liquid peels off too. what could be the problem? what should i do? I really love this product tho..it's so good.
I never get inflamed acne, but blackheads are so annoying and hard to get rid of.
Lush Fanatic dude I feel you!! I have combo skin and I CANT STAND The blackheads on my nose 😩they are so stubborn
I only have two on my nose and rest are white heads, im afraid my nose will turn into all black heads that's why I'm taking care of my nose and face more.
Lush Fanatic 👍🏼
Been waiting for this video. Blackheads, the struggle is real
Heather Abbott thanks for watching
Same even at 53 blah
I would love a video on dry eyes. How to stop dry eyes and what you can use to exfoliant the dry skin on your eye lids. Also exfoliate the skin right around the eyes.
melissa assilem same
In my experience whenever I've had flakiness on or around my eyes it was because I over-exfoliated. A few days of extra moisturiser usually clears it up for me.
Check our Dr eye health...lots of vids addressing dry eye issues.
Dr. Dray, can you do a video series on people's skincare throughout history? Comment on what they got right and what they got wrong from a modern western science perspective. I think it would be super interesting!
E A they wore hats and didn’t waste time on a ton of products because they didn’t exist
I think this would be a very interesting video. I know my Grandmother used witch hazel every day. I think down through the ages used all manner of bad stuff to whiten and brighten skin.
Like Elizabethans applying stuff containing lead to get white skin. Their skin got wretched.
@@DrDrayzday
She is completely right... it's a full-on waste of time..take history at college or ask me LOL I am old enough to remember we had nothing lolo...but seriously they wore bonnets which worked and used cold cream and powder puffs..no moisturizer no conditioner and butter and sugar.. for exfoliation---no kidding!
@@lisanutini5183
Yes they did...and nearly killed themselves or did
You do history so know..why get poor Dr Dray to do the work..the poor girl does more than enough for us
Who else watched this after picking their face? 🤭 just me... okay
you're not alone.
@V me too. I wish I could force myself to stop, but once I start by picking one spot its very difficult to (feels like) impossible to stop myself from picking my entire face.
Kaila Easton May I ask what your skincare routine is???
@Kaila Easton so did I 😩😢 My face was looking pretty good, then one spot turned into me picking my entire face, and now my face looks terrible and I feel so mad at myself and ashamed with how bad my face looks now. I know picking is a big problem for many people, not just you and I, but it feels very isolating because no one talks about it and many people don't understand why we can't "just stop" picking. I have tried sooo many different things in efforts to stop picking but nothing has worked. I feel defeated.
Kaila Easton oh ok!!!!
I’ve personally had great results using the Simple Micellar Gel cleanser in the morning and then tretinoin in the evening. Nothing else except a cerave moisturiser and maybe the Paula’s choice bha 2/3 times a week. Oh and spf of course. I can’t believe how much my skin has improved.
Less is more 👍
I got all those 🤭😳😳
Which ceraVe moisturizer? I mean they have so many I always get confused
M KK I’ve switched my routine up abit now but the one I used to use is Cerave Pm lotion the one with niacinamide in. It feels lighter than the cream
Sam E I love simple products!
Dr. Dray, because you recommend Cerave so often, they are SOLD OUT in my pharmacy. I went yesterday to buy a lotion for the body. Empty shelves.
L.U. Hope they restock soon
Cerave SOLD OUT in my wholesale club!
Yep, I order 2 at a time from Amazon
Ulta has cerave.
Haha I just bought that
I’m rewatching this just because Dr dray looks so stunning in this video, so gorgeous 🥺
U look stunning
Bentonite clay has done wonders for my skin. I no longer use the strips as I realize they aren’t really helpful. Great advice.
👍
What brand of bentonite clay do you use?
I thank God every day we have you on YT !!! My skin has never been better in my life after following your tips. I am 38 and my skin looks better than in my 20-ties! You are soooooo informative
I think the biggest challenge I have with blackheads and acne is keeping my skin moisturizer without breaking out. I finally had to accept that I need a heavier moisturizer and that I can’t let my skin dry out by using something that is not occlusive. My current fave is the La Roche Posay Toleriane Night Cream in the blue bottle.
I like Clinique dramatically different moisturising GEL.
Loving this hoop earring look on you~
thanks
Because of you my skin has improved a lot. Just simple routine and sunscreen every single day. I threw away all my skincare with fragrance on it.
I’m hooked on your videos. At 61, I’m still having skin issues. Thanks for your FREE advice. 🥰
Wow! I’m a teenager trying to get rid of my blackheads!
Dr. Dray, I discovered your channel a little over a week ago. My skin has always been prone to blackheads- and it just the way it is. I have followed your advice in this video to a tee and WOW! My skin looks SO much better. Thank your for all of your informative content- honestly, not being so self conscious of my skin has improved my life!
You remind me of one of my high school Physics teachers! She's so smart and kind. Plus you look a lot like her!
Have a great day everyone and remember your beautiful and special inside and out. Sending love and prayers your way babes. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!! Happy Friday To You Too!! Have a Great Day!!!
Thank you currently in depression...so thanks a lot
Alice dsouza I am here for you my friend. Love you sweetheart, hang in there.😘😘😘
Jackie Marsh ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Zahra have a wonderful Friday !
since using the zapzyt acne wash (and moisturizing after📝) i found it works better and longer than those drugstore washes/peel strips, thank you dr dray💕
Coochie Foochie glad to hear 👍🏼
Hey, how often do you use zapzyt acne wash? I’m so confused
NEEDED THIS! Thank you, Dr. Dray! If you could at some point, could you do a video on body lotions for oily skin and body hair for us struggling guys out there 😊
Tyler Hicks 👍🏼
Your skin looks so beautiful. Thank you for the advice. My skin is completely difference since ditching St Ives and other fragrance filled products and using cerave.
Which cerave products are you using for your blackheads?if you tell that would be really helpful
Watching dr. Dray is part of my morning routine now.
I have combo skin and always have some blackheads on my nose, they can be concealed, but I can see them in a magnifying mirror however, since I started using Tretinoin they are slowly but surely getting less and less noticeable.... Yah!!!!!! 🙏🐱
Which tretinoin?
@@areejchowdhury1246 prescription tretinoin
@@areejchowdhury1246 0.1%
I have been using. 0.025%.. I Don't think that's working.. It just dries my skin and flakes of. No visible change..
@@areejchowdhury1246 ah yes that can happen it takes a while to get used to it mine did that until I began mixing the tretinoin with moisturiser and cut it down to 3 times a week then gradually increased it to 5 nights it took patience and around 6 months of trying to slowly increase the frequency and the percentage I moved up from 0.25 to 0.05 the after a year was able to get to 0.1 there are lots of videos on coping with skin flaking on here Angie 'hot and flashy' has good advice on how to use tretinoin if you are struggling it can be a difficult path but you can get over that hurdle if you try.... Good luck 🙏
I have combo skin, and I find double cleansing with Albolene followed with Neutrogena oil free acne wash has helped a lot with my blackheads without irritating my skin. Neutrogena oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin is great after cleansing.
Also, Differin has helped with my open and closed comedones. Love Dr. Dray, I wouldn't have known where to begin without her videos!!❤❤❤
Leigh B 👍🏼
Leigh B hey I also have combo skin too. Have you tried the Neutrogena combination skin moisturizer?
@@mslori389 No I haven't.
yess, i have the same routine, except i double (triple if it's a heavy makeup day) cleanse with jergens all purpose face cream. it's worked wonders for my oily dehydrated skin
I have a dry peely nose that has tons of blackheads 🤦🏻♀️
Dominique Rodrigues same
Me too 🤯
UPD below. 👇
I had it, too. I used e.l.f. Gentle Peeling Exfoliant to remove dead skin, and then Cosrx blackhead power liquid to treat them and excess sebum twice a weak. My skin has never been so smooth and clean.
Upd: I forgot to mention that I use 2-3 times a week a cleanser that is useful in fighting against blackheads. It's First Aid Beauty SKIN RESCUE ACNE CLEARING CHARCOAL CLEANSER WITH PROBIOTICS. It is a little bit drying my oily skin, so I don't use it every day.
Dominique Rodrigues they are frustrating
@@dandarth-kc9cf Cetaphil has ingredients that supposedly clog your pores. I washed my face with Cetaphil for about three years and when I recently stopped using cetaphil I have barely gotten any acne and I think my blackheads are slowly going away. but I guess it is different for different people.
The Neutrogena Pore Refining collection works AMAZING for blackheads. Good affordable option.
Your welcome
Thanks
Having blackheads makes it difficult to find a perfect foundation to put onto the nose.
Happy Friday Dr Dray and everyone ! This was great I am 56 and have had blackheads and sensitive skin since I was young. I am so grateful for these tips I have been using Zapzt and leaving it on my nose . It really helps Have an amazing day!
Thank You Sooo Much Mary Ann!! I Hope Your Having a Day Filled With Much Kindness!!!
@Diana Moore enjoy my skin is sensitive too and its not too drying !
Are you talking about the zapzyt cleanser? I know they have a spot gel treatment also
shanhare76 yes the cleanser I have sensitive skin and it has not irritated it 😉
When those blackhead strips came out, all I could think was that you could use duct tape and get the same result for a cheaper price.
😂😂😂
XDD
@@glofire450 aahhhh omggg
😅😅😓
i have recently switched from a salicylic acid face wash to benzoyl peroxide wash and i can see improvements in my skin only after a couple of days, good for maintenance! salicylic acid just dried out my skin and didn't really do anything with my acne
Being Yourself yes, benzoyl peroxide can definitely help and can be less drying than SA. Just be sure to use products with 5% BP or less on the face. Neutrogena makes a good one called Clear Pore.
Pro Tip: The higher percentages in BP can be used for back acne or other body areas, just not recommended for the face.
I'm so thankful for this video, thank you! Tips for dry skin with acne?
Also, I have vitiligo on my face and small parts of my body, do you think you could do a video about how I should especially be caring for my skin? (and other people with vitiligo) :)
I have it too use a lot of sunscreen
Can you do a video on baby products for adults? Sounds odd, but I’ve seen some videos on that and I want to know your opinion!!
I was looking for the list of oil free moisturizers in the description and noticed they are not there. Which ones do you recommend? Thank you for sharing so much info with us freely. You have helped my son really improve his skin.
I have dry skin but have a lot of blackheads on my nose and white heads on my chin!
same!!
I do have a kaolinclay mask with cucumber extract. I will start using that twice a week. I've started using cerave hydrating cleanser, ultra light cerave sunscreen, and cerave hylauronic acid. my skin is so happy.
One time at Ulta a lady told me that the Bare Minerals ingredients makes pores bigger. I immediately stopped buying it! Would love to hear your thoughts
To be honest you are the best dr in TH-cam thanks for sharing so much information I admire you so much
1- Consider washing your face 2 times a day (morning and night)
2- Consider washing your face after you workout (dont forget to moisturise, choose oil free moisturizer)
3- Blackhead strips are not very useful
4- Dont extract blackheads yourself(it can worsen acne, cause scarring)
5- Dont skip spf. Choose oil free spf.
6-Exfoliating product 2-3 days a week.( active ingredient: salicylic acid(the best) or glycolic acid, lactic acid...)
7- Dont over exfoliate
8- clay mask
9- dont squeeze your face if you do apply ice
10- dont use self tan
11- makeup dye may cause acne
12-consider mineral makeup
13-consider using retinoid(adapalane, prescribed)
I’ve tried retin a 0.025% but I still have blackheads. Would you recommend asking my dermatologist for something with a higher concentration? Could you also do a video on supplements like vitamin b5 and vitamin a. I’ve heard a lot of good things about these vitamins for the skin.
I'm on 1% Tretinoin I have noticed the blackheads on my nose have certainly diminished in number and noticeability 🙏😊
I have used both 0.05% and now 0.1% retin-a over the course 1.5 yrs, and do not see any diminished results in the black heads on my nose. However, the rest of my skin does look better, so still looking for the magic potion for blackheads on the nose.
@@marieantoinette3451 good luck 🙏🍀
@@michelles2299 how do u use tretinoin ? I have loats of blackheads on my face . I went to dermatologist she recommended me this . But skin went so bad . Gaint pimples and post acne marks i don't thy'll evr go . How do uuse it ?
Thanks Dr Dray, great video. It is the one exception to the rule that AHAs are water-soluble as Mandelic acid is oil-soluble and thus can also help to clear out your pores.
Good afternoon from NYC. Enjoyed your decorating video. Installed the micro lights on the baseboards with clear pushpins. Totally wowed everyone. Thank you for an excellent idea.
Thank you again for more great information. Since watching your channel I have received a lot of compliments on my skin.
Could u talk about options for droopy skin (women in their early fifties)?
I’m in my 20s and starting to get jowels
her skin is glowing😫😫😫
Do blotting papers/oil absorbing sheets help reduce getting blackheads because you are getting rid of that extra oil- or is that just a waste of time and money? Thank you! Happy Friday💛
Doing this, you will get more oily skin. I stopped buying paper oil-absorbing sheets and invested money into moisturizer, SPF cream, and cleanser.
L.U. I second this. I used oil blotting papers religiously for a month and my skin got oilier and oilier.
Thank you for the replies! 🖒💞
TheGossamerHouse using these during the day removes sunscreen
@@DrDrayzday oh wow, i didnt even consider that! Thank you!❤
How do you feel about blackhead vacuums? I bought one on amazon and it left my face very smooth but some bruising.
washing the face after the workout is crucial, thank you for pointing that out :)
It’s been many years since I’ve been trying to treat my blackheads and whiteheads. Even after trying almost all these things, they’ve just gotten worse. I’ve been using Tretinoin for about 5 months now and I’ve seen an improvement with my inflammatory acne but my blackheads and whiteheads haven’t changed… i don’t know what to do! Any others tips?
started using PC BHA on my nose and I've seen a HUGE improvement!! You will see more blackheads for the first few days and your nose will look gross. But after 2 weeks or so your nose will be much more smooth. I even had someone ask me what I use on my nose LOL bc it's noticeably smoother. Also it's super affordable especially if you just use it on your nose, even the mini size will last you a while.
Thank you so much! You are so knowledgeable and your tips have really helped my skin 🤗
if i have dry skin but blackheads in my nose what product would you recommend? thanks, love your videos and u 💞
Maybe ur skin is dehydrated use lactic acid or azelaic acid
Dr Dray thank you so much for your knowledge and passion to help people with their skin:). I have a question. I have very dry skin and follow your advice, (I use Cerave) but I get a lot of blackheads and very dry skin.😣 any advice??❤️
you are a wealth of information!!! thank you so much. looking forward to all your videos! blessings!
You’re great Dr.Dray!! Love you and your videos, so much!
Can you ever get rid of blackheads completely? Especially forgoing extractions? Most of these tips were preventative but I have a ton of existing blackheads :(
Gustav S depends on size...blackheads do to dermatoheliosis are pretty fixed
Thank you for this video! Your videos always come at the perfect time. Also what are your thoughts on waxing? Especially sensative areas on the face?
Great information, Dr Dray! Blackheads can be so stubborn to remove and equally frustrating. Thank you! Have a wonderful rest of your day. 💜
Mary Lawman thanks for watching
you are looking absolutely amazing lately!...well, always but even more so now.
Paula's Choice 2% BHA I love, especially using under foundation and SPF. It gives me the most glowy, smooth looking skin day! I can't say that it actually helps with my nose blackheads, but I feel it does help with texture and clarity of my skin.
Does it dry your skin?
@@l.u.7834 No, not my skin. It almost feels a bit moisturizing. It may sting a bit, which is to be expected from an BHA , but it isn't terrible.
I took your advice of putting lotion on as soon as i got out of the water dripping wet before towel drying. I was super skeptical at first but i noticed my skin is sooo soft today.
@@beingyourself6813body.. cerave. Its the one used for eczema
I've waited this video for so looooooong, omg. I have a major struggle when it comes to blackheads so i clicked on this notification as fast as I could when I saw the title 💖💖
Thank u so much, Dr. Dray 🙏
Ale B. Thanks for watching
Also
I have a question. Do you think that pore strips for extracting blackheads are good, like.. uhm, effective? Or is just a myth and don't help at all ?
Ale, she addressed pore strips in the video....doesn't like them for regular use. Okay every now and then but they can cause other problems.
I've kicked every trace of dyes and coconut oil out of any skincare, haircare, and make-up product I use, even wash off forms. It has helped my skin a lot! Thanks for the heads up on the dye situation! PS. I've always labeled myself as a sensitive skin person, but it's bullshit ingredients like fragrance, dyes and coconut oil that is put into almost everything that I mostly have a reaction to, not documented products like tretinoin cream. :)
Marianne: 👏 👏 👏
Have you finished Tale of Two Cities yet? It’s my all time favorite book. Such an incredible story!
Doctor ,please could you do a video about large pores in mature skin ?
I’ve been using Paula’s choice BHA solution for 4 mo this now and my blackheads just won’t go. I also use cerave salicylic cleanser too. I’ve tried everything everyone has suggested and just don’t know what to do!!
I've tried almost everything as well 😭 rip both of us
@@jonasfanatic2351 I’ve finally found something that sorts them!! If you haven’t try Ren AHA and ordinary lactic acid!! 😘
@@jessicasmith488 thank you!
@@jessicasmith488They have several products. None is called ren aha. Which one do you mean? Thank you.
@@jessicasmith488this lactic acid everyone is talking about, you say just use the ordinary which one is that? Thank you. 0:00
I’m going to start washing my face 2 times a day and using a SA leave on treatment. I might pick up a clay mask but hopefully these tips work for me, I’ve had blackheads my entire life.
Update
1. Consider washing face twice a day
2. Wash face and apply moisturizer after a work out
3. Oil free moisturizer
4. Avoid blackhead strips or extraction
5. Put on oil free sunscreen
6. Consider chemically exfoliating 2-3 nights a week (products with salicylic acid, type of hydroxy acid - leave on or wash off depending on your sensitivity)
7. Devices aren’t necessary.
8. Using kaolin or bentonite clay masks 2-3 nights a week may help to a certain extent
9. Do not squeeze or pop your blackheads to avoid scarring
10. Do not use self tanners because they will make blackheads more noticeable
11. Avoid make ups that will break you out more - blue or red dye, coconut oil, long lasting foundation - consider changing to mineral based make-ups
Dr Dray, can you talk about skin priming? And how one can incorporate the concept into everyday skin care routine? Thanks for an amazing video again!
Enjoyed all these great tips,very helpful in selecting proper skincare,Thank you Dr Dray 🌟🌈🏡👒👒👒🌲🌲
If we can't squeeze the blackheads how can we get rid of them? Will these steps help them disappear? Xx
I have used Paula choices bha for around 6 months now, many people rated it very well but idk why I don't see any significant changes for me, my blackheads are still the same like from the start, or there might be even more of them now...
I've been trying to use it 1 time a day for 2 months, then switched to 2 days per time and noticed nothing different... First I use it with other products like simple face wash gentle cleanser, Paula choices niacinamide toner, black snail serum, moisturizer and then I start adding retinol into the routine, then also oil cleanser and foam cleanser as double cleansing method. I could notice that my skin break out less, but it still breaks out here and there, there was literally no point where my face is acne free.. And the blackheads are the same like the beginning, really don't know what to do
I use Elta Md UV Clear and it is very dewy on my skin. 🤣 I really love it though. It's the only one I can use now.
C.K.I glad you like it
Thanks doc
Ur content is super
God bless u
Love from India 🇮🇳
Dr dray serious question, in a previous video you noted that smoking cigarettes accelerates the aging process. But does marijuana smoking also accelerate aging? I dont smoke cigarettes but I occasionally smoke marijuana and would probably stop if i knew it accelerated aging
Not dr dray but in the cannabis industry...Until cannabis becomes nationally legal, we will not have the controlled studies to actually test this theory. It's still in its infancy stages of legit research and will continue to be until we catch up with canada and mexico in legalization.
I guess the harmful effects mostly come from smoking the cannabis, everything that burns becomes toxic. If you don't do it often it shouldn't cause problems but for regular use I would invest in a good vaporiser.
@@lucasg1312 yes, because popcorn lung is better.
@@BellaFleurElise when I say vaporiser I mean a device that has a chamber to heat herb, not some illegal black market e cigarette pod that is cut with vitamin e acetate
Put a very warm, damp washcloth on your nose and leave it on a few minutes to open your pores. Next use a soft brush to gently pull the blackheads out. Then wash with salicylic acid cleanser and top it off with a leave-on salicylic acid toner. Do this at least twice a day and it will help get rid of blackheads.
Dr. Dray, which salicylic acid / exfoliator do you recommend for sensitive skin?
Thanks Dr. Dray. I've been plagued by blackheads my whole life. Can't wait to try some of these products.
Did it work
@@NatsuDragneel-ud4fi I tried Fresh Umbrian Clay Mask and while it helped control oily shine, it didn't improve blackheads. Then I tried adapalene for 5 months and it may have lessened the blackheads although to be honest I can remember because I had to stop 8 months ago because I had a seborrheic dermatitis outbreak. Sorry I can't be more helpful!
@@ConserveMore oh so nothinf helped ur blackheads omg did u go to a derm? I hops it clears for u soon
Thank you so much. Finally someone can tell me what to do cause I am always afraid to make it worse. I started using the Paula's choice a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be helping
After starting to use the CeraVe Lotion I have seen more black heads in my nose. Could the type of moustouriser worsen black heads?
yes! make sure its your skin type
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and encouragement! I have watched at least 10 of your videos in the last few days and they have been so helpful. Honestly, your channel is a game-changer. You've already saved me money on buying expensive products recently and I had no idea about fragrances... I guess that's bye-bye to Bath & Body Works products, haha.
Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I really hope this time you reply my comment. As you said in one video, you don’t suggest facial steaming. But with the case of having blackheads, what is your thought about facial steaming? Thank you.
you mentioned not having coconut oil in make up but can you use it as a make up remover for the face and eyes, followed by a cleanser?
Thank you Dr! I still have black heads and I use Salicylic wash, Paula choice toner and Tretinion. I'm going to incorporate a weekly inky clay mask in hopes to deminish black head completely!
Dr Dray, I’ve been using benzoyl peroxide for Folliculitis but have noticed that I have a few blackheads in the same area. Could I use SA and benzoyl peroxide? Thank you 💓
The toner do you recommend it for only blackheads or everyday use after cleansing?
You should update your links in your videos! A lot of them are sold out on the websites you’ve linked but I want you to be able to get affiliate commission! Thank you for all of your amazing videos! They are so helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been struggling with blackheads and acne, I’m hoping to make some of these recommended changes to my routine to see results. What would you recommend for a precleanse for blackhead and acne prone combination skin?
Never clicked so fast before...
Tanisha Modgil same girl.
What is your opinion on home remedies for blackheads? I’ve seen a lot of videos on using lemon and baking soda made into scrubs.
Just to share my story, I’ve noticed that if I don’t wash my face IMMEDIATELY after I wake up that I will breakout. It’s like my skin sucks everything back up. Also, I’ve noticed that using glycolic acid once or twice a week really helps my skin in addiction to daily salicylic acid (both Paula’s choice). Im sure my skin is the sticky type you talked about in a previous video, I really need a lot of acids and differin to keep my skin from being crusty and breakout. Paula’s choice also has a more gentle toner like salicylic acid I got for the winter. It really is about getting to know your own skin.
Hey how's your skin now?
Could you do a video on scarring and how to get rid of them?
Thank you for this! I'm a mum of twin teens and the three of us are so careful about skin care but we all have a bit of blackheads.. It's so frustrating trying different products and then finding out they don't work.
I was squeezing my husband’s blackhead on his face and he asked me not to. It’s just so annoying for me to watch. He then said ‘you don’t need to listen to me why not watch your fav Dr.Dray and see what she says’. So here I am.
Took some notes and thought I will share with you all.
Wash face with soap twice a day (for oily skin)
Use oil free moisturizer (for oily skin)
Don’t extract (don’t)
Use sunscreen (everyone everyday)
Use exfoliating product
Can you please list some Oil free moisturizers that you recommend? Thanks so much! I always enjoy your videos. 😊
Angela B see my oily skin moisturizer video
Hi Dr Dray! Thanks for all the valuable advice. I find Paula's choice very helpful to make pores smaller and put away some blackheads. However, I still have many deep blackheads. Would you recommend using zapzyt wash first and then leave on Paula's choice to get rid of deeper blackheads? Or would that be too irritating? I haven't used Zapzyt before
Dr. Dray, I love your videos. At some point, can you review Paula's Choice skin care?
Glycolic acid masking and retinol use makes my blackheads pop out on their own
That sounds so satisfying lol.
