How to treat acne, what to do before seeing a dermatologist?
Acne is a part of life; however, most patients would grow out of this condition in their early 20s. If you have persistent acne, you may need to see your dermatologist for treatment. Here are some helpful hints to try before seeing a dermatologist.
1. Cleanses. Use a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. If you have dry sensitive skin with acne and blackheads, consider using a simple cleanser such as Cetaphil. If you can tolerate exfoliants, try salicylic acid 2% in a cleanser. Additionally, vitamin A products can help. Other topicals to consider include alpha hydroxy acids.
Product recommendations include
1. Cetaphil cleanser.
2. Neutrogena scrub salicylic acid 2%.
3. Vitamin A products including the ordinary, Environ and Aspect Dr.
2. Makeup. It is important that you let your skin breathe for at least 18 hours of the day. Ideally, if you can go without makeup for one to two days especially over the weekends, this will help your skin breathe and unclog pores. As always if you are choosing a makeup, look for the words non-comedogenic. Additionally, makeup such as mineral makeup should be used instead of oil-based foundations.
3. Diet and supplements. It is well known that diet can modulate acne. As a guide, stick with foods which have a low glycaemic index. Choose unrefined foods over refined foods. Try to eliminate sugars and also dairy. There are numerous supplements that have been reported to help with acne; however, the most consistent and recognised is that of zinc. You can find zinc sulfate at your health food shop. Try a double dose of zinc every day coupled with an acne-free diet and you should see some response in the majority of patients.
4. Microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion will work for certain forms of acne including blackheads, whiteheads and skin congestion. Microdermabrasion will not work well for some forms of acne including cystic acne as well as adult female jawline hormonal acne. I personally prefer hydrafacial as this is a gentle exfoliator which can be customised to the patient. Hydrafacial can have a profound effect on congested skin as it removes dead skin cells and also can infuse the skin with various actives if needed.
5. Light therapy. Have you ever noticed that acne improves when you go to the beach? This is because light activates chemicals which are secreted by bacteria-causing acne. This in turn causes a chemical reaction which cures the bacteria. The wavelengths of light which help kill bacteria include blue light at around 430 nm as well as red light at around 620 nm to 630 nm. Sensible sunlight in patients with type 3 skin can help decrease bacterial counts; however, a more precise methodology is to use medically prescribed wavelengths. I prefer the use of Healite or Omnilux blue. Ideally, when one sees a dermatologist, we like to combine light with prescribed topical vitamin A.
If the above does not work help, consult a medical derrmatologist as soon as possible. Early treatment of acne will help reduce or prevent acne scars.

I don't mind the zit that pops up for a day or two, it's the freaking hyper pigmentation that it leaves behind for eternity that frustrates me.
True... 😔😔😔😔😔
same... 😥
And it drives me crazy every time they dont pop. So you're left with 1 ance and hyperpigmentation at the same time.
I keep wondering why for some people the pigmentation goes away quickly tbh unlike ours
true -_-
*Yes! Thank you for spilling so much truth!! I wish more dermatologists like you were available when I was going through my worst bouts of acne.* Thank you for your knowledge and compassion!
Hi, your skin has been looking amazing recently. I am really happy you finally found an answer to clear skin! Please do a video about how you finally cured your acne.
Cassandra I love ur videos. Your so helpful yourself...
aussie dermatologists in general seem to have their wits about them. don't know about overseas but i feel like the calibre of dermatologists in Australia is pretty fucking great. been to a few, just to grab second opinions - they've all been incredibly helpful, engaged and borderline holistic, as Daniel is.
@@daomightygoose1057 cassandra literally got me to change my diet, she's a blessing.
Literally the only person I watch on RUclips! Thank you so much for being an honest doctor who isn’t just trying to prescribe pharmaceuticals and instead teaching a more holistic approach to skin care. You are the best and make me wish I was still living in Australia to get treatments done by you. One day 😻🙏🏻
I am glad that you have been churning out videos again! I am still crossing my fingers for a Doctors Davin-Drey collab!
I was doubtful when I followed the 100 % natural treatment as my friend's suggestion . But the result was effective, my anti-acne faded awayin less than 7 days like a miracle, try here:> *AcneCureOnline. Com* Thanks!?
I am so glad I stumbled upon this video! This is great advice, thank-you so much
You sounds like a very approachable doctor, someone like most patients would love to consult with.
Thank you for your “to the point” informative video. I’m so glad you are back😊
short sweet and to the point. gave the main products to try, what they do and how they work without making a 30 minute video. awesome.
Always delighted to learn more, even if I don't have acne.
Would care to make a video for dehydrated skin? Specially for very dry weather? I kind of figured out a routine for face and body, but others might be struggling with the same.
Thanks for your time! :)
This was *SO* good!!!! Thank you! ❤️
This is very helpful! No BS, straight to the point...
I love this very quick- jet reliable- professional information. Thank you!
You are welcome. Cheers, Davin
Your videos are attractive to me since I have dry, sensitive acne-prone skin. Badly needed this!
Much thanks Dr. Lim!
Enlightening!
Thank you sooo much for this! This is very helpful
Very informative video as always, thank you Dr. Lim :)
i had way more success with my acne changing diet. fasting and eliminating a lot of dairy, preprocessed foods and sugar helped. none of the topical items helped me at all.
dairy is the worst. i can generate acne on demand by eating a pizza or a milkshake.
Same situation. But Fermented A2 dairy like goats milk kefir do not affect me. A1 Cows are the worst. Look it up. The skin gut relation is indeed true. People who say that diet doesn't affect skin health know nothing.
Totally agree! You can only do so much topically - you have to treat internally as well. I made a video talking about key nutrients for hormonal acne. Check it out and let me know what you think! ruclips.net/video/V97bGZYZ4cg/видео.html
I didn't realize how much dairy contributed to my acne!! As soon as I cut it out, or at least limited it to maybe once a week for ice cream or something, my pimples cut down by 90%. And I was one of those people that always made fun of others who said they were "dairy intolerant" or "allergic to gluten" or something. But my skin doesn't lie! Dairy didn't play well with my body
@Aleksandra Kowalczyk Acne is pretty individual though, and while the elimination method works for many people, it doesn't work for everyone. Also, this type of lifetsyle change isn't accessible or realistic for everyone, due to socioeconomic factors. But yes, I agree, if it's possible for you, changing your diet/lifestyle habits should be your first line of defense before all sorts of topical or oral treatments. Your acne might improve, but you'll also feel better and improve your health.
Thin White Duke Some people with specific allergies will be helped by changing diet. Others with different types of acne will find thus useless... me.
Love this video. I’ve been binging your videos and learning a lot. Thank you
Cheers, DL
When i was young i used Benzol Perixode its used to bleach the bed linen! lol But was good for drying spots up, still use it if i break out bad.
My acne isnt crazy bad but it’s not great literally lost all my confidence I’ve tried #1 and #2 for a month and my face 100% got worse
awh same with me, it destroyed nearly all my confidence and socializing also became an alarming issue
500th like doc..
Great free tips, thank you! !
Hello Dr Davin,what product would you recommend for an oily skin with acne
Learning all this in PA school right now. So cool! I never knew what any of these did before
Thanks so much for the clear and plain explanation!
Dr Daviiiidddd thanks once again for this great video! I wish you could review the use of essential oil for acne skin. (Direct use of essential oil) Thankyou!
If someone is interested in salicylic acid the one from the ordinary is really good. And the glycolic acid is amazing! All the products are extremely cheap
thank you big help
Thanks for the tip. DL
I lov salicylic frm z ordinary
Can you suggest me any product of that glycolic acid one pls
I was a non believer of this product. Once I was getting acne conditions, I decided to give this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* a try. It worked for me. Within 1 week, I can notice the results. I now have a better and clearer face.
i dont have acne, but i am so happy to see that you are posting more
Welcome back. I like to use Dr. Eckstien Azulene paste to soothe and heal.
Thanks Doctor for your advice. Will try it.
Thank you very much for the tips and knowledge that I learn Dr. Davin Lim.
My daughter certainly enjoys this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* For a year and a half we struggled purchasing various acne treatments without results. I am happy that we`ve discovered this guide. After a few days of using it, I noticed its change and her acne had cleared up after a couple of weeks. .
Discovered you about a week ago and have learned so much! How about a video about on aging for the neck? I’m starting to get the turkey neck. Is there any help for this? Thank you for these great educational videos!
Heyyy can you give me your tips for improving "turkey neck" as well haha thanks!
Welcome back doctor! I will share this with my daughter who is suddenly struggling with bumps. I like short and to the point videos and really enjoy listening to you. You're my fav dermatologist on you tube.
Quick tips on how to manage acne with simple measures. Early and effective management of acne will REDUCE or PREVENT

Can salicylic acid be used together with Niacinamide in the same routine plssss
Dr Davin Lim i recently watched your ABC video and you mentioned that Vitamin C can be use at night for 2nd dose is skin allows it . I was wondering if I’m using AHA and BHA at night already is it okay to add vitamin c?
@@vivienmel7735 I believe you can. Niacinamide is every active's BFF! Still, go with caution.
Does Differin work on wrinkles?
@@zoraho We have done our research and we could not seem to find any double-blind, placebo controlled trial that shows Differin is effective for wrinkles.
I can't thank you enough for your advice on skin issues doctor. Love from Greece.
You are welcome. Davin Lim
heeey, thank you so much for your videos, im wondering if you can talk abt fungal acnee and the things we may want to avoid or do to prevent , have a wonderful day thank youu
This is an interesting topic. We'll research about it and create a video.
👀✒✏📝 Class is in! *Great to have your expertise back here on YT this past week.
Hi Dr Davin..would you recommend Azelaic Acid for acne ?
Can u give us the review LED perfectio device!? U said u would do a review on months ago ?
Exceptionally informative. Thanks a lot doc.
Welcome. DL
I was about to go to a dermatologist, but researched and ultimately decided to simplify my skincare routine. It’s been about 3 months and my acne is gone besides the hormonal pimples I get from my period, but I don’t worry about those. Cerave cleanser, their moisturizer and benzoyl peroxide have been a life saver. I’m now introducing aha/bha’s, niacinamide, and vitamin c to help with the hyperpigmentation I’m left with.
Very helpful thanks! btw I noticed the rwb porsches hanging in the background of your older videos, do you have one?
Direct and realistic strategy on the way to remove the aspects that cause acne are given in this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* I`ve suffered acne conditions for quite some time now and I am delighted to give the ideas in this guide a try. I would undoubtedly suggest this guide to my buddies
Thank you ,for knowlegde about acne cause problem , still my fav advicer skin doctor 🙏🙏🌹🌹

Thanks Doc!!! 👍🏻💖
Hi dr. Davin,
Whats your advise to speed up recovery from tca cross? Its been 20days now since I had it and its still red but doesnt look fresh.
Thanks
Hola desde Colombia 🇨🇴 ! Thanks your videos are really informative and easy to understand. Which type of acne is the one that is a big pimple but it doesn't have a head, it will last forever under your skin, and it will leave you a dark spot, I usually get those on my jaw. They are very painful. Can you tell me what are they called and maybe tell me how to treat them? Thank you!
Thanks for the info Dr.lim it's a big help ❤ God bless u more
Thanks for the well wishes. DL
What can you recommend to a very oily skin facial cleanser or anti acne products please 🙏🙏
Thanks for the great information! Love it. Can you apply benzyl peroxide after differin?
Hillary, I was watching Dr. Dray’s video and she said that they can be applied in the same routine. But when you start differin, use it alone for a few weeks to give your skin time to get used to it and then incorporate Benzoyl Peroxide with it. There’s actually a prescription drug with these two ingredients combined called “Epiduo”, I think.
Hi Doc, does vitamin B5(panthothenic acid supplement ) works for acne and pigmentation?
Dr Lim , as always the best advice, if I had to pay for it I would. Thank you so very much.
Welcome. DL
I only watched this cause the subtitles called him Dr Dumpling I couldn’t believe it hahaha
@E. well hes basically racist 🤷♀️
Those racist would think tht dumpling remark is funny. Now ppl will b saying its just a joke, y so serious? Well u guys, calling an asian descendent dumpling is a racist remark. Ppl try to hush down with other races but think its funny to tackle asians with tht kind of jokes.... not funny at all.

Hi, I just wanna ask what kind of treatment I can go on my skin because I have a red spots & dark marks from my previous breakouts a years ago and still I don’t know what products should I use & how I can get rid of them through skin treatments.

Hello Dr Davin, may i ask you a question, How long is the duration of bluelight therapy you would recommend for Asian skin? I have olive skin tone, cystic acnes, and still have PIE and PIH. Thank you before 😊. I'm sorry my English was bad
Hi Doctor, my skin type is combination. I have acne from last 10 months. I didn’t use any kind of for acne. So finally I saw lots of review about the ordinary products that’s why I order some. I buy the ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution, salicylic Acid 2% and niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%. Doctor is it ok for acne ?
Please do a video on keratosis pilaris
I've never had an acne problem but as always excellent information.

dr.david lim Assalamu alaikum I like your videos very well
Hello doc.
Just wanna ask about that zinc. Is it okay without doctor's prescription? Just like regular vitamins..... thanks
Is it possible to get online consultation from you? For those who can't be at Sydney/Melbourne?

Very helpful.
As lockdown bans public gatherings on beaches, the garden or small walks can provide sufficient sunlight / light.
Thank you!!!
I wish I had seen ur videos and posts when I was 16-17 I now have severe acne scars Bt I m working on improving them taking various treatments, tq for being so kind and informative to acne victims doctor Davin.
Cheers DL
Never had skin issue before, but I tried to eat spicy Korean ramen and I had the worse reaction on my skin. Now it's been a month since I have acne on my chick. I saw Retinol was a remedy option so I've got the Retinol 1% in Squalene, by ordinary, but it didn't work. In fact, it made the acne go bigger. So I stopped. I've been using the tea tree oil and the puffiness went down, but I still have them. Dunno what to do
You are already my favourite
4:18 lucky me 😎 haha I surf a ton but I do see a change in my skin when I get done surfing, but I’m pretty tan. I heard Salt water helps Acne? Is that maybe a slight cure??
It got rid of my acne for a week while I was visiting the beach every day. After I stopped swimming it came back
@@penasaurusjones7808 guyssss 🥺🥺🥺🥺 is it true ??

Between your own fantastic videos, along with Dr Dray & Dr. Sam Bunting's videos I have gained so much information! Thank you so much!
You have all also saved me from spending money which I would have wasted on pure hype & marketing. Thanks again!
You are welcome. I m a big fan of Andrea as well, she's vvv informative. DL
Please make new video about how to cure whitehead acne 🙏🏻👍🏻
Can you share treatment for fungal acne.. thanks
I have oily combo and I use neutrogeana oil free SA gel face wash. It dries my skin too much, I use it every other night never in the morning .
I have female jawline acne. No idea how to treat it. I’ve been dealing with it for years now
U are amazing thank you 😁
Thx Dr Davin. About benzoyl peroxide, used it once, it worked for me for some good months but then,it stopped working and i started getting a funny rash in my face. then i stopped using it but when i tried it again, it brought the same rash. Could it be the type i used!!?
Hi. I request you to address my one little query.
Can I mix apple cider vinegar in my shampoo? If yes, is it safe to use it once every week?
I've always had problems with red inflamed acne and I've picked up some products from my favourite skincare lines that help with inflammation but is there anything that you'd really recommend for at home use to reduce redness and even complexion?
Hello to all people who have issue with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I was little girl, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering my face. I tried all acne medications available but it was no good. I even tried many diets and advice but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with even more acne. My last hope was to try special laser treatments and when that failed too, it seemed I will never find solution. Then I run across this page. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and advice from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 7 days I had first results and after less than two months my skin was free of acne. All this thanks to secrets from this site
