@@ilovelisa2594 Yes you're actually right but if the Salicylic acid is in a wash form then it's fine. Also if you are using a leave on Salicylic acid product then you can use it in the AM then use your Retinoid (Adapalene) at night time :) Once I tried using a leave on 2% Salicylic acid then followed it up with a 0.3% Adapalene and my face stung a bit and I had to sit infront of the fan for like 15 min lol to make my face feel better since it was stinging. I was like okay I am not doing that again haha.

"...We are here to simplify", "we are not here to complicate... your skin care" Thank you for the health education you do and your work ethic. Greetings from Chile.

Your my fave Derm! I’m a PA working in Dermatology in the states. Your mindset and love for lasers, I feel like you get me. We think very similar and I’m just so thankful to have you as a constant resource.

Dr Davin, you treated me many years ago and I've been following your channel since it came about! I am in my mid-20s now and I use 15% Finecea in the AM and 0.025% Tretinoin in the PM with a super simple, very gentle routine. You got me started on the La Roche Posay range and I always have a bottle of the Anthelios SPF50+ or the Toleraine UV 30+ in my bag. The La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume is my ride or die for moisture and soothing. It's wonderful seeing you continue to deliver wisdom that works.

People need to consume more professional advice vs trendy videos that basically sell things to them by misinformation. Happy holidays Dr. Davin!

Love how straightforward and direct this was- thanks Dr. Lim.

I just discovered your channel and love the tips you give. You're the only Aussie dermatologist I know on youtube - the rest are sadly from the US. Can't believe you don't have more subscribers.

Dr. Dav! You're freaking legend. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones. Thanks for all the content this year 🥰

Simplifying my routine helped a lot. Effectively remove my makeup and then use a simple cleanser and moisturiser and only 3 actives (niac, azelaic acid and glycolic acid) that I rotate through every 3 days. I want to start a retinoid but I’ve been hesitant. Starting slowly should do the job though

Just started isotretinoin, catch you in 6 months shining like a diamond hopefully permanently 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Thank you so much doc! This is such a helpful video for everyone whose experiencing acne.

Thank you Dr Davin Lim you're such a good dermatologist, good contents as always. Love youu

My doctor prescribed me the Epiduo gel treatment a year ago and I don’t have any pimples AT ALL!🥰🥺

love this guy, so simple and easy

So so so useful. I’ve been using apalpen .3% as spot treatment for 1 year bc my dermatologist told me so... now I finally know the truth! Thank you doctor. You’re doing an amazing job

You're amazing Dr. Davin!

I hope this works, I get painful hormonal acne on my jawline and under my chin. You seem to be the only person talking about that specific type of acne!! So thank you, I'll give it a go! I'm extremely consistent with my skincare routine, so it's disappointing when things don't work out. I'll try just about anything at this point. Either way, thank you so much for your guidance!!

Guys! This works!!! This is my actual skin routine. And it did wonders!

God guided me again so I can get good advices for my skin health. I only listen to two people this year and they say almost the same thing, the same point. I'm getting the EXACT CORRECT ADVICES He wants me to hear. Praise God.

I found the SA in the washes I used stripped my skin. I switched to slightly milder cleansers and started using a tonic with AHA + BHA and my skin seems to tolerate that better. I guess the concentration is low enough. What I found was a game changer for me was using the Neutrogena hydro boost gel on damp skin underneath my moisturizer. I used to get a lot of peeling on my nose, I guess my skin was very dehydrated.

Thank you Doc Dav!

I just found your channel and first I really appreciate the care you put in your videos. I have been to my DM and was told I have normal acne as well as acne due to medication causing oily skin. I am on doxycycline for 3 months, as well as Tretinoin cream like you said the bedtime 3x a week spread out. It feels like it’s making my face worse and my face is in pain most of the time, my DM said that it will get worse before it gets better. I have been on for almost 3 months now with no improvement. I kinda feel hopeless and it’s starting to really affect me. I was hoping for your opinion on this since you stated if there’s irritation to stop use. Another professional opinion would be amazing. Thank you!

It is great to have all the helpful & professional advice weekly. THANK YOU

Let face completely dry first, use light serum (hyaluronic acid) and eye cream, wait 15mins and then apply pea size amount throughout face, followed by moisturizer. Use not just affected area if you want the anti-aging benefits. I worked my way up in terms of frequency and amount used per treatment. Hope this helps

Dr. Dav can you give a opinion about double cleansing method? Or how to cleanse the face after using sunscreen? Thank you^^

Hello Doctor😀 .. you are the only one who can answer my question. I bought tazarotene online .. it did not cause me any itching or reaction .. how can I make sure that the product contains 0.1% tazarotene ? .. it is a cream by the way. i will appreciate your help.❤

I cleared acne just with regular alcohol gel and moisturizer when the skin got dry. Keeping your skin clean (ideally sterile) and then adding clean moisturizer will prevent or minimise the onset of sebum.

my first doctor didn't even warned me about the food I take. even scolded me for saying such coz it doesn't have any basis. I keep going back to him for checkups. he was able to stop my acne for some time but it came back + ugly scars. I just transferred to another doctor... I think he's doing well. I have cystic acne for years already and I'm already 32 this year. ends up badly as scars... I hope for the best this time. 1st week of doxycycline is done. 😊

Thank you Doctor 😊😊😊

Would you recommend vitamin C moisturizer?

Dr. Davin, As someone who wants to begin C02 laser therapy, is the "Tetra C02 Coolpeel" just as powerful? I've been told it is, but I'm curious what you think. I've spent a lot of money on improving my scars and I really just want to nip it in the bud. I saw the video of "one of your favorite patients" about my age, in her 20s.. you said that she got the C02 over the course of a year, every 8 weeks? Was this a C02 laser that required a lot of downtime? Or was it similar to the Tetra Coolpeel in that it requires very little downtime?

Thank you😁

Thank you! How long is best to wait after treatment before starting laser for post acne?

Hello, will the Cerave AM moisturizer protect me from the sun? And are the Neutrogena sunscreens good? Thank you!

Hi doctor, thank you for your video. Would you like to make a video for AM skincare? Thank you doctor :)

How about a simple 3-step system that’s safe for pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Hey Dr Lim, I'm in Australia but my GP doesn't seem comfortable prescribing me tretinoin even though I've used it now for 20yrs is The Ordinary's retinol a decent substitute?

Doc, Which moisturiser do you recommend for my Oily acne prone sensitive skin.

I will try this. At 52, suddenly I am having acne attack and it is so bad. Tried so many products but acne still around. Of course I also changed my diet, no more dairies, fast-food, sodas, white bread, and sweets at all.

Could at home blue light therapy work for acne caused by progestin-only pills? OCPs and spironolactone have been ruled out as options due to contraindications. Already using benzoyl peroxide, retin-a, glycolic acid, sunscreen. Could azelaic acid do anything?

If you start Vit A, to prevent peeling from dryness and breaking out like crazy. Use moisturizer first and then apply the smallest of the smallest amount of the Vit A, smear it well on your hands and tap your face mostly around the eyes (but not on the eyelids and eyebags area), forehead, and cheeks, then neck and chest. Then apply moisturizer again. Creating a sandwich 🥪 effect. Your skin will be very grateful with minimum break-out. I swear Vit A should come with very specific instructions. Step by step cause I was peeling like a snake the 1st time I use it and my skin felt like a desert ready to crack any minute. The moisturizer is a MUST with Tretinoin or Retin-A or Differin among other names. Start with the lowest %. Until your skin can handle it. Is extremely strong! After a year of using it, my skin is happier and I'll have product for at least 5 years. That's how much I use every other day. Good luck!

Can you please advise if retinoids are safe to use while breastfeeding? There is so much conflicting advice on this subject.
