    *VIDEO SUMMARY:*
    The six holy grail of actives:
    1. Vitamin A (retinol, retinoids, etc)
    2. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
    3. Vitamin C
    4. AHAs (Glycolic acid, Lactic acid, Mandelic acid)
    5. BHAs (Salicylic acid)
    6. Benzoyl peroxide
    *_Beware of combining:_*
    • Vitamin A with benzoyl peroxide. Because benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizing agent, and a retinol is technically an antioxidant. So together they can cancel each other out and be futile, and be very irritating.
    - _How to combine?_
    Spread them out. Use the retinol in one night and the benzoyl in other nights.
    • Vitamin C with vitamin A. It depends really, I don't know how to write this part so just re-watch the video. (9:49)
    • Vitamin A with AHAs. Only if you're a veteran and if you have tolerated the retinol, and retinol with AHAs together. Same is true for vitamin A with BHAs (salicylic acid), just be careful and get acclimated with the retinol first or your face will explode (not literally but you get it).
    *_Best combo:_*
    • Vitamin C with ferulic acid and vitamin E. It's just good.
    • Vitamin C and Niacinamide. It might be very confusing because something... something... (11:58) but studies have shown they boost each other's effects. Combine them all you want.
    • Vitamin C and spf. No brainer, they're good together, they were meant for each other.
    • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide). They can be paired with everything, the only thing to keep in mind is to keep the percentage of Niacinamide to 2-5%, no need for higher.
    • AHAs with vitamin C. Both are formulated in acidic ph, so they tend to amp each other up. Be aware of this combo if you have sensitive skin.
    • AHAs with BHAs. They're both acids but they work differently, so they don't clash. Just be aware that you don't need a crazy high percentage when combining.
    Moral of the story:
    1. Have a basic skincare routine down.
    2. Don't blow your face out with high percentage concentration
    3. When in doubt, patch test it. If you have sensitive skin, always patch test your product combo. Otherwise, go to town and make a skin routine smoothie.
    Edit: I'm so glad I could help some people out with this comment. We are all in this together to figure out the puzzle that is skincare.

      Timestamp 'niacinamide + vitamin B3' is not correct. Because niacinamide = vitamin B3.
      Niacinamide can me combined with everything, just be aware that the concentration is not higher than 5%.
      Thanks for the timestamps @boonavite3200 !

  • @jaydsh
    @jaydsh ปีที่แล้ว +147

    the biggest issue with combining actives is that skincare brands have become obsessed with releasing products with high percentage actives, when in reality you dont even need that high of a percentage. a perfect example of this is the paula's choice 20% niacinamide, when all studies have been done with 3-5% niacinamide. (and all that costing like 50 euro's??)

    • @KristenKras
      @KristenKras ปีที่แล้ว +35

      Not to mention that higher concentrations of these ingredients are irritating to some people's skin.

    • @charlyjgm
      @charlyjgm ปีที่แล้ว +9

      That's a fair point... but just because there is not a study analyzing those % doesn't mean those % are not effective, and the other way around. It's just that there's no testing.
      Also there will always be someone potentially irritable at any %.

    • @catnip4587
      @catnip4587 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Maybe 20% is added but the other ingredients in the product dilute the final content?

    This is the BEST video on this subject to be honest. I have had the absolute worse cystic acne from trying out a retinol product from a unreliable company and my skin has constant breakouts of acne since. I’ve been using the la Roche acne line but haven’t seen much improvement.
    So! The last 4 days I have been using the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Olay Vitamin C Serum, and the Cerave Moisturizer and I can’t believe how a simple routine has improved my skin in such a short period of time!
    So my question to you!
    I just bought a cerave resurfacing retinol, Ordinary 5% AHA, and the Paula’s Choice 2% in hopes to marry them all together one day for absolute perfection. How long should I wait before introducing one of those at a time? 😫 I’m so impatient but don’t want to flare up my skin. Thanks so so much. ❤

    Dr. Idriss,Thank you for this. You made it so clear and easy to understand. I was drawn to your channel because of how beautiful and flawless your skin is, and I thought to myself that you're a living example. If I want to learn anything about beautiful skin, I'd better listen to you lol.

    Ah. This is what I was looking for. I have no problem combining Tret and AHA (Alpha H Liquid Gold) on the same night and the DERISION I have received about this. THANK YOU 🙏

    13:44 - That's me. I just use everything lol. Benzoyl peroxide wash (twice a day), BHA (twice a day), glycolic AHA (night time), tretinoin (night time). I also apply everything to wet skin. Have for years without any issue at any point ever. Right now I'm pretty sure I'm going to add niacinamide, too (for the time being).

    I think a lot of the challenge is that these "basic" cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens, have actives in them, but they're hidden in the "inactive" ingredients list. The basic Eucerin Moisturizing Sunscreen has Lactic Acid in it! I don't want that in my sunscreen, I wanna use it at night where it's not as big a deal if it makes my skin more sun sensitive! I spend way too long just reading ingredient lists at Walgreens just to leave with nothing :(

    • @kategolden8840

      If lactic acid is very low on the ingredient list it is a pH adjustor not an exfoliant :)

    Love your content. Thank you. I'm hoping you can do a video on razor bumps and ingrown hairs someday. Treatment, prevention, and getting rid of the scarring. Glycolic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide seem to help but I'd love to hear your take and see what else to do!

    I hated all those skincare videos of people that use 20+ things in irregular steps and be like- you're not meant to put these togetherrr.. or the sunscreen and 2 steps later a facemask 🙈

    Hi Dr Sherene, hope you are doing well. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I feel after discovering your chanel. You have helped me understand my skin better and choose products wisely rather than just buying everything that any influencer suggests. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in for these videos. I always look forward to your videos every Saturday. Love from India ❤
    Lastly, I would be thankful if you could discuss about 2 topics in your upcoming videos-
    1) Could you suggest how to treat corn and calluses, my foot skin tends to be very hard so I am curious/worried to know about it.
    2) What would be your approach in treating melasma in people with skin of color.
