Topical treatments can only help so much, the source is inside of you and no topical cream fix that. Although it’s beneficial to use topical products along with medication they won’t help if it’s the only thing you are using

Thank you for all you do, Doc. Have a great weekend.

Would love to see a video on inflammation from you two! You mentioned it before briefly 🙌🏼

Do you have any product recommendations to wash clothes, towels, sheets, etc?

Guilty on 4 counts! One mistake you didn't mention is picking at the zit. Been there done that, now I have some scars I'd like to get rid of on my chin. Good to know I don't need a scrub or toner. Everyone tells me I should & they are heavily marketed. I'd love to know what is the best thing to take off non waterproof makeup: cleanser or micellar water?

I learned very early on not to over strip my skin. When I first started getting acne, I bought two cleansers, one that was much more stripping than the other, and when I'd use that one, my face would get so greasy by mid-day. I found that when I used the gentler cleanser, my skin was a lot more balanced and didn't overproduce oil to compensate (and it actually helped my acne).

It’s two types of hyperpigmentation one is called PIE where it’s red pink spot and the other HIE i think where it dark. PIE is more common for lighter skin and HIE is more common with lighter skin. They usually go away eventually but I takes some time but you can speed up the process with vitamin C and niacinemide or take laser tingy. There aren’t much research on it since it wasn’t first discovered or had a name after 2013

Great!!! Really helpful video😊 I've learned a lot. How to reduce dark spots that are caused by acne?

This is the first time I have ever heard his voice😳, it fits him.

🌺✨My morning skincare routine : (i have combination skin which is dryer and a lit oily in winter and more oily and less dry in summer.) ~• Cerave foam cleanser (oily skin) ~• La roche Posay Effaclar duo (contains SPF and Salyclic Acid) ~• Cerave Moisturizing lotion ~• Cerave Sunscreen.

Dr.Maxfiled and Dr.Shah - absolutely love the channel and got to learn a lot about skincare. Won't be wrong to say, that you guys inspired me to start skincare. Thanks. Question - Since you mentioned spot treatment for acne, can you suggest a couple of benzoyl peroxide gels for spot treatment? I am looking at La Roche and Proactiv but confused about what to get. Any pointers will be extremely helpful. Thanks

Very informative thank you for the advise and tips

I had problems with acne all over my face, especially the forehead. During the pandemic I discovered the ordinary niacinimide serum and it helped a lot with the inflamation, although I still had lots of acne. Using Vichy normaderm cream for 3 months now that contains salicylic acid and my acne is gone, I just get a few cystic ones around my ovulation. Hope that everyone finds what works for them, it took me years! Good luck 🤞

Love this video so much!! Makes an esthetician happy to learn about. Educating my clients about combatting acne is something I'm struggling with as a beginner, this kind of knowledge definitely helps.

Thank you guys I am well educated by you just enlightened 🙏I suffer from acne since teenage years and going towards my adults years it just getting worse. The mask we wear everyday is so annoying because through out covid pandemic it didn't do any good but worse

First time watching your channel and am really learning alot about how best to treat my acne since I have an oily face

🙋‍♀️ question! Are all spot treatments safe to use while using differin? (For ex- can I use dermalogica spot corrector while using differin on my active breakouts?)

One thing that has really helped with my acne is to wear a bonnet at night when I sleep. I use product in my hair and I don’t wash it every day and wearing a bonnet keeps the product from rubbing off on my face at night and breaking me out. Highly recommend.

I’am 31 yo my acne has always been mild to moderate. I do have black heads on my nose which I have had forever now. I’am tired of having this type of skin. I discovered this channel about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I have been watching ever since. I’ll keep you both posted with my process.

As a teenager...never really had acne...maybe a pimple every once in awhile. Now that im a stones throw from 50, hormonal changes due to a hysterectomy, and of course my mask wearing.....my face broke out so very bad. Already have a bha in my routine plus retinol usually 6 days a week, cut back my routine...cleanse treat moisturize....stop all my actives but the retinol....took about a month but as soon as one area cleared up...another huge breakout. The very last spot is almost healed thank god. I feel for everyone who has ever had it. Great video!!

I started using active ingredients in the beginning of December and I completely cut off products that contain fragrance. I did a ton of research on how to use them but now, mid january, i am still struggling with acne all over my chicks and before that on my jaw and neck. I did not have that serious of a problem with acne before I started using them and I am still trying to figure out if it's only purging or if I'm having a reaction. I'm using only The ordinary and the fragrance free aloe line from The body shop. I tried Cerave for 2 weeks and it was probably then when my skin started acting.... I don't know what to do, I'm starting to get really frustrated with the way my skin looks..

So I know this is an older video of yours, but I had an acne question and I figured I'd try asking even if you don't see this. Is using a salicylic acid cleanser every night okay for the skin? I don't do this at the moment, but I have pcos, and while my acne isn't as bad as it could be, I do seem to get pimples all the time. They're easy to get rid of with a spot treatment or the cerave SA cleanser I do use, but I get them so often I'm wondering if I shouldn't just use the cleanser every night to avoid new pimples. I switch off the SA cleanser with cerave's hydrating one to avoid over drying my skin. Seems to work well so far.

in the UK all my GPS have recommended astringents for my oily skin. I was also prescribed topical antibiotics without benzoyl peroxide and consequently developed resistance to two maim acne antibiotics. I was only given a retinoid when I saw a dermatologist privately

Great video, I Wich hazel as a toner and the cerave cleanser ,and the black and white day / night teatime moisturerizer. I just started it and I love it.

Being inconsistent is my issue, made me cringe when I heard it and then I laughed at myself 🤣 but then quickly after realized that I am not inspired to be consistent with my current products because I don't know if they're right for me anyway. So I am so grateful for your videos so I can actually be informed in what is really worth trying for me! Definitely going to look through my products and see which have these ingredients and stick with something that is worth trying!

What can I do (if anything) about hormonal acne? I have been using retinol and salicylic acid (and hyaluronic acid to combat dryness of those other ingredients) and these have done amazing things for my acne scars and my typical acne - however I still break out once a month around my period and I feel like this might just be something I deal with forever as someone with persistent acne. - also I almost exclusively break out along my jawline which is so frustrating because I am not even particularly oily there

Can you also cover "acne purging" when using retinol? Sometimes its hard to tell if the products working or making the acne worse.

For me, when I first started using it, it worked like how it is for you. I didn’t see much change at first, but over a period of time, it began to slowly clear up. Though, after using it for a long period of time, it started to dry up my skin really badly. My face was so sore and it was peeling all over. When this started to occur, I stopped using it right away. Before this all happened it cleared up most of my acne, but it was never fully gone. This was just my experience, but we all have different skin types so you can expect different results.

First, thank you so much for your support! Niacinamide is unlikely to interfere with your tretinoin. Benzoyl peroxide is a known ingredient that can inactivate certain forms of tretinoin. I’m not sure why it wasn’t having effect before but sometimes these things can take time! To minimize side effects, try moisturizing before and after applying the tret. Also, use a very small pea-sized amount and spread evenly over the skin. You can also gradually taper up from every other day to every day
