I really appreciate that you are so ethical with the use of antibiotics. I was put on antibiotics for multiple years as a teen by a derm and I now have pretty bad GI issues and trouble finding effective antibiotics when I actually need them. Especially because I'm allergic to penicillin and derivatives. So thank you. 😊

@mgcoulter1877

Sarah Wierenga It’s not okay because the bha deactivates the retinoid, so it isn’t working to it’s full potential. Instead, use the retinol at night and move your use of the bha to the morning. Hope that helps!

Honestly I use this as a spot treatment for cystic acne and it seriously helps decrease the size. Turns a 2 month long zit into a week long zit. I love it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about this product... I bought it last week but in here (Chile) it is formulated differently: Niacinamida, Piroctone Olamina, LHA, ácido salicílico y Ácido Linoléico.

That's because here in Chile it's sold more like a treatment/moisturiser, you can use it daily, night and morning, it's not as 'strong' as if it had Benzoilperoxide. I dont have acné, just ocassional commedones and blackheads, and it was still recommended to me by my derm, to prevent them and the marks I tend to have after a comedone.

Been using this for YEARS after my Derm recommended - LOVE IT!!

Hi Dr Dray thanks for all the time and effort you put into this channel it has really helped me to educate myself. Would be grateful if you could do a video on the effaclar duo + that is available here in the UK as it does have a different formulation to the one available in US. 😊

I love your channel so so much, Dr. Dray!! You are just amazing and thank you so much for your input. With everything that is happening in the world, it's especially helpful. THANK YOU

I have the European version with niacinamide and salicylic acid and it’s the only product that helps prevent my acne. Thanks for the video.

Do you have a product you recommend for helping with uneven skin tone and that will brighten skin?

I love how excited you are about your sticker book. Enjoy!

🙋🏻‍♀️ Me, I’m getting 8 hours. So many of my friends my age have trouble with sleep; not me, exercise and putting devices away at night is my formula for good sleep.

It made my skin PEEL OFF! But I had great result on sebaceous filament and acne/ acne scars . I recommend mixing a small amount with a lot of moisturizer and use it every other night. It really improved my skin . Acted like an exfoliant (don't forget sunscreen the next morning) The regular effaclar duo is nicer cause it has niacinamide inside.

Effaclair cleared up my closed comedones on my skin after having them for YEARS! And I found it through you. I layer hada labo lotion, then effaclair (duo, the cream and not spot treatment) and after either cicaplast or argan oil. And during night I use a thicker cream or the hada labo whitening one (blue jar). I also use the effaclair face wash or the cerave ultra moisturize one. And once in a while benzoylperoxide. And ofcourse sunscreen ;) So thank you lots and lots for this 🤗

Here in the Middle East, we have the Effaclar Duo (+) which is basically the same as the normal Duo but with the addition of niacinamide and the patented ingredient Procerad. Same usage, only better results for redness and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Hey Dr.Dray. Im living in little old Ireland and sadly as others have commented in the EU we don’t really have as many products with the ingredients that you often mention. I’m just wondering if you could have a look at La Roche-Posay Redermic [R] Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Treatment and let us know if it’s got anything useful in it. Thanks for all the super duper straight talking tips 😋

Your space is looking good! New decor, I see you! ;) Which rebounder/trampoline is that?

The “Amazonian” 😂💀. I invested in a tube of the La Roche Posay 2% Salicylic Acid. It was 14.99 from Target but it’s a huuuge bottle! I will have to try this!!!

Thank you for posting this Dr Gray! I actually have been using prescription tretinoin but still getting occasional breakouts. A few weeks ago I saw a video of you recommending this and I started incorporating it into my routine. Tretinoin night and effaclear in day. Since doing this my skin has improved a lot even though it’s so resistant to products. I would say this works synergistically with my tretinoin regimen. Thank you for bringing the study up because it is working for me!

Hi Dr. Dray! Thank you for your wonderful videos and information!! Does salicylic acid also oxides tretinoin?

Fantastic explanation, thanks a lot for your effort Dr Dray! 🙏 I was just wondering, is it safe to use a spf with LHA or BHA? Here in Europe I saw that for acne-prone skin LRP sells also the Effaclar Duo with SPF 30 and the Anthelios Anti-Imperfections SPF 50 both with LHA (which I loooove and use in the Effaclar duo)...or would it be safer to use SPF and LHA separately (AM and PM)?

I have been watching your channel since 4 years, you are looking more beautiful in every next video.

I wish we have these amount of studies for Betaine Salicylate, the Korean BHA!

Dr Dray can you please make a video explaining the difference between dry scalp and dandruff as well as products to treat them. Thanks :) Greetings from India!

I have oily sensitive skin and I tried the European version for four nights. My skin is softer but my pores look huge/enlarged and my skin feels itchy/irritable and is red when when i put my moisturizer on. Not worth the trouble in my opinion

You always have gorgeous skin but you are extra glowy in this video!

How do you use it in your skin care morning routine? Just after cleanser and before moisturizer? Thank you

When I first bogght this product I had been using it for a week now and i swear to god i had a painful whitehead on my chin, in the morning it was gone and it didn't hurt anymore. I swear by it.

I tried the effaclair last year, several times. My skin felt good afterwards but sadly my face was also blotchy and had hive/allergy type lumps

Here in the UK our Effaclar Duo has fragrance and no benzoyl peroxide :( Happy Sunday! :)

What is your opinion of Mario Badescu Drying Lotion as a spot treatment? It's INCREDIBLY popular with celebrities, and I find it useful. However, is it bad for your skin? What ingredients may be problematic?

@andrew-song

4 жыл бұрын

I’m not Dr. Dray, but my opinion of the drying lotion is the same as the rose water spray: Don’t even think about it. It’s largely calamine lotion with the drying aspect stemming from quite a peculiar concentration of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), camphor, talc, and salicylic acid. Likely, it has the high potential to be an irritant for the skin. Hope this answered your question or at least partially lol.

What does combining BHA with the effaclar mean? Using them at the same time in your routine or using one at night and one in the morning?

Love your videos so much! I am curious what you think or have heard about Senegence products. It is not that affordable and their claims regarding their ingredients in their skin care and cosmetics sounds impressive but would be great to have that demystified.

I literally think it's impossible to sleep 8 hours. I have struggled for years and things are definitely at a low point right now. I get about 1-2 really restful nights of sleep. Love your vlogs and uploads. They are definitely helping me keep going right now! Love you, lady.

Hello, Dr. Dray! Can i use a serum before putting on Effacelar Duo [+] and then sunscreen? Thank you, love your videos!!

I have been using benzoyl peroxide from 2 minutes up to an hour or so every morning, then wash it off. My adult acne loves it! Or well... hates it :-) and I love it!!!!! Years ago it burnt my skin off and gave me horrible rashes down my neck (only ever used it on face). Leaving it on overnight is too much for me, but this way I have no irritation AT ALL. I use a mild salicylic acid at night because I like the theory behind it, but never know if it ever did anything!

I think that hamster on a wheel feeling is a universal affliction - hopefully not feeling that way all the time.

It ticks all my boxes for working and being easy to use without irritation, but do you think people should switch to just tretinoin in the longer term to avoid antibiotic resistance on the skin?
