As an oily, sweaty, and acneic guy who only wears water- and sweat-resistant sunscreen and reapplies it throughout the day since I live in a tropical, very hot & humid country, I find that cleansing oil + water-based cleanser is a game changer for me. Using a gentle water-based cleanser once or even twice are sometimes not enough to remove all the debris on my face. I have also tried using a cleanser with stronger surfactants to see if it will be enough as a single-cleanse routine, but no. I have also tried micellar water, but I feel like that's more suitable for makeup really, also I just don't gravitate towards micellar water, I don't prefer having to use a pad, I'm lazy lmao. I just wanna use my hands.

​@@ced3069I hear you on the micellar water. Which is why I use a *micellar gel* as the first step in my double cleanse, less pads more hands 🤦🏾‍♂️🫣🧖🏾‍♂️. I find it to be a better investment & more therapeutic: - La Roche-Posay Rosaliac Micellar Make Up Removal Gel 195ml Then follow up with whatever active acne treatment that addresses the type of acne you have as your second cleanse: - CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser 236ml (2% Salicylic Acid) - The Inkey List Acne Solution 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser 150ml - De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment 73.7g (10% Sulfur) - Q+A Oat Milk Cream Cleanser 125ml (Colloidal oats is not necessarily an acne treatment but it does help by repairing an inflamed Skin Barrier) Hope this helps!

@seralynn7286

Күн бұрын

​@@anncude531 I assume you're asking Dr. Idriss of course, but for what it's worth, I do exactly that. I use the SK-II essence how she recommended in the video for longevity -- I transfer it into a spray bottle (I use an amber-colored glass spray bottle with a plastic top that I bought on amazon) and use it twice daily before her hyper serum. I was using the essence for a while before her serum, and to be honest, I'm not really sure if it has helped at all. I know some of its benefit might just be in "anti-aging" (like how they found the active ingredient by noticing factory workers in a facility that used the active ingredient had smoother hands than faces), but I haven't noticed anything else from that alone. After adding her hyper serum, I have seen a small additional benefit. I think that my skin appears more hydrated and my freckles look a bit lighter. I haven't noticed much reduction in my mild rosacea yet, but it's only been a month and a half so it's possible it might improve more over time :). Either way though, there are a lot of essences with galactomyces out there and while SK-II has the patent on this particular strain, there is not any evidence (that I could find) stating that it has proven benefits over another strain. That's not to say it doesn't, but after I finish my current bottle (which has lasted 6 months so far and I would guess by the amount remaining it'll last an additional 4-ish months), I'm not going to purchase another one for a while just to see if I notice any changes in my skin.

@@user-xc3xv6gt1o iirc, it’s because HA binds water to it (one of the reasons it is said to have a damp skin when applying HA serums), and when using too much HA it binds too much moisture and even start to draw it from deeper in your skin. But don’t take my word for it, check out her long video about HA instead, you’ll learn lots! 👌🏼🙂

I am always happy when you point out the issues with Hyaluronic Acid. After using a serum with it my face got so red it hurt. It took one of your videos for me to figure out what was the issue. It took a year of Vanicream only on my face and then the addition of a barrier serum to get rid of the red. Thanks for mentioning it again.

I have 57yo mature skin living a cold dry climate most of the year (Alaska). Essences and toners have helped save my skin. I do read the ingredients of course so that whatever I'm using is serving a function. At my age though, hydration is half the battle because older skin loses moisture more easily.

Yes to almost everything but I will never give up my oil cleansers. I've used them for ten years as part of double cleansing and I've never had a single issue for my sensitive, combo, slightly acne prone skin. They melt away makeup and sunscreen and even when I'm not wearing anything I can feel a difference if I just use a regular cleanser. Double cleansing makes my pores visibly cleaner and my skin softer; it ALWAYS looks and feels better than a regular cleanser alone. I think the issue might be people using ONLY an oil cleanser and not following it up with a regular one. But of course everyone's skin is different. I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone starts doubting oil cleansers now.

Would love a video on the different skincare tools. Which ones help and which ones are a waste of money.

So nice to see that all of us oily-skinned people need our oil cleansers pried away from our hands. You can totally, absolutely use an oil cleanser if you're oily. The key is finding the right one and making sure it emulsifies well and that your water-based cleanser cuts through that oil really well. I've been double cleansing for almost ten years now and it's helped with acne so much because there's no leftover makeup.

I love this concept 😊

I’ve heard you reference how if you aren’t allergic or sensitive to product(s) containing fragrance, then don’t fear them/discontinue using them just based on other dermatologists tending to recommend against fragrances. I believe the same principle applies to this sensitivity/inflammatory effect of hyaluronic acid that you are mentioning in this video. If HA doesn’t cause this effect for me, then why fear it? I think it’s also worth mentioning that it depends on overall formulation of the product - certain ingredients often enhance the penetration of HA. Just because an individual didn’t tolerate it in one formulation, doesn’t mean that they also won’t tolerate it in another formulation. Ever since the ordinary’s single ingredient HA serum, I also agree that HA is being used in too many products that go on an individuals’ skin on a regular basis. There are better humectants on the market like glycerin that you mentioned anyway, but HA is still in my routine minimally and causes no problems for me.

Thank you!!

Thank you again to doctor Idris for the wonderful information ❤

Agree with the oil cleanser part, tried more than 5 products and it breaks me out everytime. My acne and Perioral Dermatitis always flare up when i use oil cleanser. In general, single cleanse and/or double cleansing with micellar water is the best. I use waterproof sunscreen btw, sometimes makeup too.

Wash your vulva with soap and water, or sensitive body wash. Do not wash your vagina, ever. She is self cleaning and any kind of wash, douche, feminine wash will upset her ph level. As for shaving - you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Don’t let anyone tell you that you should do, it’s a ridiculous beauty standard which tells women and girls that they should do it to the extreme. Normal washing there too is sufficient. If you want to shave, for yourself, go right ahead. Just make sure you use a sharp razor and sensitive wash.

I’m going to use oil cleanser whole my life. My skin is clean, soft and hydrated after using oil cleanser. My favorites are macadamia or rice or argan oil base. Rinse well after emulsifying.

Wil never give up an oil cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, and the mineral sprays. They’re so refreshing during the hot months

As someone with eczema prone sensitive skin, thermal spring water is a must for me. Hydrotherapy works at least for me ❤

Whatever you say is so true! ❤ If this video was out last month, I would have learnt that I don’t need oil cleanser for my oily face. Waste money on oil cleanser and my skin taking more than a month for my breakouts to subside.

I'm still mad about how much we were lied to about hyaluronic acid SMH. Not knowing better I told so many people that they should be using it. I have also always touted the benefits of glycerine so I'm glad to learn that it is even more useful than I thought. What are your thoughts on polyglutamic acid?

I use Avene mineral water spray, only because it feels good when I wake up. Not expecting skin care value, just like it. I keep one in the fridge to use in the summer. To remove makeup, I use micellar water.

Pls do one on the medicube Pls! Every version. I love your hyperserum treatment! It change my skins within a week! So good!

The essence and toner thing is so true. I love that som by mi toner but I do not use it every day because it’s too much for every day.

Combo, acne prone and sometimes sensitive skin - i looove me some oil clenaser as the first step, doesn't break me out, i don't like micellar water at all, reduced number of comedones. When it comes to hydrating toners/essences, I use them for hydration/soothing boosting step in my routine instead of the serum, and if i don't use the additional hydration steps it really shows (rationale is following: 200 or 150ml of toner/essence usually costs the same as 30 or 50ml serum, and yes it's less potent, but if no actives in it i can layer few layers of it based on my (de)hydration needs, and so far I've had few who offer impressive hydrating properties and make my skin supple, dewy and happy). So the bottom line when it comes to toner/essence story is you gotta know why you using it for and if you need that objective at all (as for everything else in the skincare)

I would love affordable product recommendations for dry skin and I’m in my 30’s. I know there are separate videos on this but trying to combine them and pay attention to the ingredients is very challenging. 😅

If I have applied a lot of sunscreen throughout the day, I just wash my face twice.) Timeless CoQ10 serum CeraVe nighttime skin renewal moisturizer my prescription tretinoin formulas from Agency for the face And their eye cream (has a little tretinoin in it) Laneige on my lips Sometimes I will use the Cicaplast Balm from LaRoche Posay if I need a little extra moisturizer or if there’s some irritation. And at least one night a week, I will skip the tretinoin and use CeraVe healing ointment or a zinc oxide cream all over.
