Great video as always. I ended up trying most of the OTC products you mentioned for hyperpigmentation, not necessarily acne scars, all within a two month period and am now still trying to get my skin to recover, lol. I think it was the 23% Vit C that threw it in a tailspin. Now over a month later, even though I stopped all actives, everything still irritates my skin. Lesson learned, i think we tend to be too impatient wanting to see results with actives!!

Wow such thorough and helpful info! Thank you Dr. Lim!

Davin, I was wondering whether i could combine a La roche posay 2% salicylic acid medicated gel cleanser for morning step and using Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid Exfoliant for the night routine as i am trying the Paulas’ Choice for the first time. Could it be over-exfoliate my skin and btw I have a prone-combination skin and also have been suffering with hyperpigmentation over a year. Thank you and your videos have been really really helpful!

Educational vid thx for sharing

I waxed my face about a month ago and I’m 16, I knew I had a pimple or two on my cheeks but after waxing a bunch popped up everywhere. The lady told me it’s normal and they go down within a week and told me to put on some aloe Vera gel for the inflammation. But it didn’t go down at all, I got little marks everywhere on my face. They’re slightly bumpy in some places and they don’t hurt anymore but most of them are just acne scars. I’m trying so hard to get rid of them before school starts at the end of October.

Thank you for posting such informative videos! I think I need to go see my doctor, I think I have hormonal imbalance. I have hormonal acne... and my hair is falling out a lot so I’m thinking my testosterone levels are high, androgen levels. I’ve been on minocycline once before and it cleared my skin but I’ve been off of it for a year and the hormonal acne has returned. Im still using retin a 0.025 cream every night at nighttime. I’m afraid that my hair is falling out more than normal amounts.
