Skin Care tips- using AHA's
Glycolic acids creams have no downtime and can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions including pimples, pigmentation, pores, wrinkles and can be a powerful anti-aging addition to your daily skin care. AHA or glycolic acid can be used as a chemical peel or as a cream-serum or lotion.
What is an AHA or glycolic acid chemical peel and how is it different from AHA creams-lotions-serums?
AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid. These chemical peels include glycolic acid peels and lactic acid peels, and are derived from fruit acids. They are safe to use during pregnancy but do also require extreme caution as they are not neutralised. Peels start at 20%, extending all the way to 70%. High strength peels should be supervised, however 5- 30% peels can be done at home - providing safety is adhered to. A safer way to incorporate AHAs into your daily skin care routine is to use an AHA cream. AHA peels have a low pH ranging from 0.6-1.6, however AHA creams-lotions- serums have pH of 3.7 or higher. These do not need to be neutralised and hence can be used at home- safely.
Who is the ideal candidate for AHA?
This is another addition to your daily skin care routine and is another skin care tip- ideal candidates for AHA glycolic acid chemical creams are those looking for glowing skin, reduced pore size, improved skin clarity and less pimples. AHA cream work by chemical exfoliation, unlike scrubs, Clarisionic, or other forms of mechanical microdermabrasion. AHA’s also stimulate collagen and elastin- this accounts for their anti-aging and wrinkle removing properties. Patients with eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, or sensitive skin have to be extra careful as even low concentration AHA creams can cause skin irritation or flare up your pre-existing skin disorder. In these patients, the use of a cream is preferred compared to a serum. Mixing with a bland moisturiser can dilute the concentration of AHA from a 10 to 5 or lower.
How should I start AHA creams-lotions or serums?
Skin care tip- start slowly. Start with a pea size drop of AHA 10 once a week. You can incorporate this into your ABC’s of skin care. Once you tolerate this strength you can either increase application frequency or increase the AHA strength. Obviously do not increase both at once or skin irritation will occur.
How do is use AHA for better skin quality- for experts?
Firstly you if you can tolerate vitamin A, B, C and AHA 15s, you can increase the penetration of these active skin care products. Start off with very gentle exfoliation with a wet cloth or a Clarisonic 10-30 minutes prior to application. Pre-exfoliation removes the outer layer of the skin called the stratum corneum, thus increasing the effects of AHAs. One can also mix AHA with retinol creams- retinoids for increased penetration of retinoic acid. If you are planning to use this regime, go slowly, with a tiny test spot first. AHAs- Retinol combinations can be an excellent skin care routine for patients with blackheads, zits or acne prone skin.
How do I incorporate skin care for my patients?
I am a laser and procedural dermatologist, and not a skin care prescription dermatologist, however skin care post laser or filler is an essential part of looking after your skin after a procedure! My dermal therapists and laser nurses can go through the basics of incorporating this into your skin care after a procedure. For my fully ablative laser resurfacing patients, I usually commence active skin care 4-8 weeks post laser, as the skin is still sensitive for up to 2 months following laser resurfacing. I also use AHAs for my melasma patients after their laser program to maintain clear skin.
What AHA brands do I recommend?
This is not a sponsored video nor am I affiliated with any pharmacy. I have no preference for AHAs, however Neutrogena has a long record of making safe, well formulated AHAs- Glycolic- Lactic acid formulations- both as a peel and as a cream. More AHA products on www.myskinpharm...
Obaji makes AHAs, - they make good products but in Australia they are very pushy with sales. Great products, too much BS from this company as they are affiliated with lasers such as Fraxel, Thermage, Clear and Brilliant and have ‘elevate programs’ to incentivise dermatologists. Not good practice!
Thanks for watching this short video, and respect to the brave French dermatologist who endorses AHAs for a rather unfortunate name for a skin care company.
Dr Davin Lim, Laser and aesthetic dermatologist.
Acne scar specialist, Brisbane. Australia.
Big difference between educating and endorsing. Thank you for all the unbiased education that you provide to us.
No problem, DL
LOVE having these wkly classes!! Thx, Doc Davin!!!
No Problemo.... DL
Shella Bella me too
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim love your tips but what about creepy skin on body.. is there any helpful hints for that
Another quick video whilst Im healing from my laser treatment...still. Enjoy the benefits of AHAs and how to safely incorporate them into your regime. Everyone is unique so please feel free to share your skin care regime. Cheers for viewing - end bit is my dry sense of humour. Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane laser and aesthetic dermatologist. Australia.
Hopefully, next: Sunscreens. safe on sensitive skin or acne prone.
Hi, Just found your channel 😊 Firstly if I wasn't married I would want to marry you your gorgeous and funny and secondly I have learnt so much. I wish I lived in Brisbane, I suffer from melasma could you please recommend someone in Sydney? Thank you Dr Davin Lim 😊
Thank you so much for the info. My friend also recommended Neostrata ,I’m using Clinique smart lines atm. If it’s possible ,would really love to hear your thoughts on these products 😊
Hello from NYC!
That end bit was funny. Thank you for the education and tips! Looking forward to more.
So glad to have found your channel! The information you present is sterling and your delivery is ridiculously engaging. My only complaint? You’re giving me laugh lines! Thanks so much for the work you put into these videos.
OMG - you’re hilarious!! I really appreciate your honesty - and because you’re not sponsored I 100% trust your recommendations. However - you should monetize your videos Doc! Those of us not living in AU unfortunately can’t become a patient or send friends in to your practice - and you should profit off the time you take educating, filming, editing & entertaining us. Thanks again for another awesome video!
Cheers, I like watching youtube videos myself, but don't like the ads midway... hence.. no ads.
Thanks for the video. I LOVE the last minute of it - especially the captions. Blew me away!
LOLLOL!!! That was AMAZING! So obviously reading off of a monitor with no emotions whatsoever!
To say you do a better job is MORE than an understatement!
Lol. Brand name is ISIS and he looks like he making a hostage video. Please save this man.
I didn't realise he had closed fists... until someone pointed it out... Im sure his patients will follow instructions closely. Davin Lim, BRISBANE SKIN specialist. Laser dermatologist.
I have been using the Neostrata 10 AHA and now the Neostrata 15 AHA for about 8 years. I can highly recommend it. I actually started using it for my keratosis pilaris on my face which has improved. But I noticed how much it helps with aging issues as well. I will always have a bottle of this, which last me about a year and worth every penny.
Thanks for the +1 Davin Lim
Emily Harlander do you use retin a too?
I use an over the counter treatment ( AVENE YstheAL Anti-Falten-Creme) at night and use the 15 AHA during the day. I find if I use them together it creates irritation. I use them both daily.
Emily Harlander so you tried using retin a at night in combination with it first?
Both retin and AHA are strong, everyones skin is different, but the 15 AHA is too strong for me to use with the retin a. I use a pea size amount of the 15 AHA every morning and wait till it fully absorbs afterwards I add a daily moisturizer and face oil on top. I like to keep my active ingredents seperate, that is what works for me.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 ohhh, That last clip was just too much! Loved your added captions! 😜🤣
Cheers? Davin Lim
Thank you for your educational skin care talks. They are so very appreciated. And your honesty and integrity are refreshing since so many dermatologist are hyping sponsored products or hocking their own brand.
Yes, .. they are. Cheers for your comment. Davin Lim. Brisbane Skin Specialist.
Omg you are soo cute!! I’m against people advertising too because like you said everyone is different, what works for you may not work for me. Thanks Dr. Lim great vid as always
Thank you. Davin Lim
After 5 weeks of using Tretenoin I really needed a gentle product to help with exfoliating. I’m using a “gentle exfoliating peel” with glycolic and lactic acid. It’s amazing how much it helps to clear away all of the dead skin!
I'm so glad I found your channel, your content is very clear, concise, and straight to the point. Great work!
Thanks for viewing, Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Dermatologist.
Part of the reason that i enjoy and subscribe to your channel, besides its being educational and helpful, is your great sense of humor. I'm definitely on the right channel. THANKS for the info on AHA cream treatment. I'm quite happy that you share your honest professional, experience based knowledge with us.
a thx for viewing, Davin
“Slow in, faster out,” so true with my skin. Thanks for the great info on using AHAs. I prefer Alpha Skin Care brand, as it’s very affordable here in the States.
Yes, AHAs super cheap.. DL
I'm loving your videos man, I'm learning so much!
Just stumbled on to your channel!!!! I really enjoy watching your unbiased educational video's. There are so many skin products out there promising miracles that just isn't true, so thank you for your honesty!!!
I died over the captions!
Glad to entertain... of all names to name a cosmetic company.
Love your honesty Dr
Thanks for the giggles! I literally laughed out loud...while wearing headphones, so the person across the room thought I was nuts!
And thanks for the slow in fast out tip.
No problems, my race car driving (lack of skills), Im still fast in slow out...lol. Davin Lim
I'm so glad I found your channel! I really appreciate the no bullshit approach and straight up information! Thank you
Thanks for taking time to watch my videos. Davin Lim
Thank you Doc.
A very good budget friendly cream in the US to try is found at Walgreens called Studio 35 Beauty Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream. $10 4oz
My favorite glycolic product are pads by Organys, on Amazon. They are very strong- 20% glycolic acid/. 05% salicylic acid, but cheap.
A good glycolic serum is by Alpha Skincare. This is milder but still has that acid tingle I look for.
The Organys pads have controlled my acne better than Differin.
Simple and great skin care tip, useful informations, can't wait to start, Tanks so much Dr Lim
Love your videos!!!! I’m still shocked over HA being hype. Thanks for educating! The French guy was totally not convincing.
I really enjoy the skin care side of your videos and the products you advise. Cheers!
Thanks ... share if you like the video ... Davin Lim
you are hilarious. Seriously could not stop laughing with the subtitles for the last couple minutes!! Thank you for always keeping it real and being honest in not endorsing/advertising. We appreciate it!
Welcome, .. yeah my dry sense of humor is my outlet. Davin Lim
My routine is:
AM routine: cleanse, apply Vitamin C serum and Timeless Skincare CoQ10 with Matrixyl 3000/Hyaluronic Acid, finish with sunscreen (one that contains AHA and BHA protection), I reapply sunscreen at midday before my lunch time run (I keep it at my desk).
PM routine: double-cleanse, then antiaging serum Timeless Matrixyl Synthe '6 Serum and apply Retin-A .05% every other night (M, W, F); on the off-nights (T, TH & Sat), I apply a glycolic acid, I like NeoStrata. If I notice irritation, I back off. I get a chemical peel on a quarterly basis. I've used retinols and glycolics for 25 years (I will be 51 in June) and they've worked pretty well.
Hi i want to ask u apply retain a on wet face
I really love this doctor !
I love your videos. You give brilliant information on skin care.
Thanks for watching. Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
beautiful doctor and beautiful mind~

This is just freaky; I was just looking at different AHA products yesterday!! Thanks for the information, cause people online actually suggest using these products everyday from the beginning!
Thanks for viewing, much appreciated as every view, and share counts. Davin Lim
Hi Brisbane, I thought I had lost you on my tablet, but I found you today and I am thrilled to have you back lol. Loved the video as usual and enjoyed the French dude also, and as you said " his english is better than my french" , same here even though I was an exchange student there years ago. See you in a couple of days now when I know where to find you. Goodnight from Utah
Thanks Dr Davin, I guess the answer is gently does it, thanks for your honesty x have a wonderful week 🤗😃
Thanks, Davin Lim
yep--I am so watching the right channel. And laughing too! Thank you.
Glad to make someone laugh. DL
I just started with the NeoStrata 10% AHA
Thanks for the education
Wow. Your videos are super informative. I've been struggling with acne, huge pores since puberty and now scarring. I have to say that your videos provide me lots of awareness and now I can discuss with my dermatologist all the possible treatments that I can have and what he can offer me. Thank you so much. Love from Pakistan.
Thanks for viewing, yes, this channel is designed as an educational one. Davin Lim
Congratulations Doctor ! !Great job
You are AMAZING!! 🤣🤣
So glad I found you. My favorite doctor.
Wow this was very interesting and extremely informative!!!! Thank you Dr. Davin Lim for making these educational videos and sharing them with us!!! I have learned so much!!!! ❤️
Welcome. Thx for viewing ... DL
i was reading a lot about using AHA and retenoid they can be used together they prefer to have time between each product if we can use AHA half an 1/2 an hour before using defferin this way we give our skin time to get the benefit from each product and the best way to do is to use defferin in the night and AHA in the morning this way we can get the best from each
I'm glad I found your channel,I'm learning soo much.
Cheers, Davin Lim
Super informative video, thanks a million for taking the time to share all these precious information!
Thanks for viewing.
This doctor is so informative! And he's really cute, so I like watching him while I learn something! Lol!
Thanks for viewing. Davin Lim. Brisbane skin specialist. Oz
Your channel is great! Cheers from Brazil!!!
thx
Hello Dr. Davin.... your channel is very educational. At least even we're from the Philippines, we can have the idea of what creams I can use at home. Such regimen is expensive here in the philippines. I just hope I could find over tbe counter creams ABC's for my skin type. I do have brown pigmentation to be exact, and had applied different creams but did not work. More power to your channel.
Thank you Jok, appreciate your view. DL
Great info on AHA'S! Thanks for this AND your humor! Rita
Cheers, Davin
Wished I’d seen this a week ago my face is in recovery of using to strong of glycolic acid. Not fun at all. Love your videos. Thanks for the lesson I learned a lot!

thanks for this video! from Vit A, C, niacinamide, now to acids! that are things we can do at home! very honest video! thank you
Thanks.
Thank you again! ⚘I think I will start with this. What else should I apply during the first 3-4 weeks in additionally (you know, since I'm isolated by myself at home)🙈 - I'm 51, olive skin and minimal skin care during the last 3 years in school. I am thinking: Mineral sunscreen, retinol for eye area and moisturizing creme? I am watching your bio- oil next & will be using LED during this time a well. (🤗?) I have always loved you for your generosity and expertise. - here is the "one day" I always said I would reachout to you and make some me time!💪 God bless you where ever you are! 🌎💜 March 2020💥
Your last notes commenting on Obagi warrants the ‘like’ button , enjoy learning from you .
Cheers, DL

Thanks for sharing. Davin S. Lim
Omigosh that was hilarious. Especially the obligatory "smile" at the end. Thanks for the laugh! Too too funny 😅
Cheers. Davin Lim
Thanks for your interesting videos I love to watch them I would like if you don't mind a video about niacinamide I have heard that it has amazing effect on reducing wrinkles and pigmentation
THE NAME OF THE BRAND AT THE END OF THE VIDEO JUST KILLED ME LOL :DDDDDD
Yeah, unfortunate name. Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
I wonder if they’re related.
Hello from California. Love watching your videos. I’m a new subsriber!
Thanks, every sub counts. Davin
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim Dr. Lim. What is your take on facial massage? Is it beneficial? Is it ok or not because it is stretching the skin. Thanks
Hi from Canada! New subscriber, you are awesome. I use to use neostrata 15% in morning and differin 0.1% at night every day. Was told by the dermatologist to keep up with this regime (had no irritation or problems, had worked up to the 15%). My skin looked great and acne under control. Went back to same dermatology clinic but was booked with different dermatologist and was told to use one or the other. Should have asked why was getting different opinions. I stuck with Differen for 15 years but still get acne. Want to add the aha again, would love your opinion!
Thank you so much, I learn so much from your videos.
Welcome, please share if you think it is useful. DL, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
New subscriber doctor!
I really appreciate your educational videos! And, such a funny last clip! 😂
Thanks, Davin Lim
Keep giving important info and keep smiling...
Also an unrelated to video question, but who would I go to to extract a pore inside my ear? It's grossing me out and kinda hurts when I put headphones or stethoscope in. I went to a derm, she picked at it a little and said that she can't extract it because it would just fill again, and that I need to have a surgeon remove the whole pore. Is that true?! The pore isn't even that big! Or was she just being lazy? I don't know where to go for this. Thanks doc!
Go to a different derm!
So....you do NOT want to peel? Am I understanding right? You said if you peel, use less.
yes
DR. Lim How to use 0.5 salycylic acid toner, retin A and glycolic cream? or would you prefer retin A or glycolic cream for acne and acne marks?
🤣😂lmao. Nice company name! Thanks for the information I’m purchasing it now. Turning 60 tomorrow ugh!!! Gotta start something..I did laser a couple years ago it’s time for another round. Thanks Doc ❤️
No problems... thanks for the politically incorrect viewing..LOL. DL
You're just so brilliant with your explanations, simply awesome...the only thing I struggle with is working out a regular daily/weekly routine incorporating all of the active ingredients (I currently own products containing AHA, BHA, Vitamin C and Retinol 1%)....help!
Thank you kindly for those words.... nice of you. Cheers, Davin
Thank you for the AHA advice!!!
Thanks for viewing. DL
I use an alpha hydroxy lotion on my body and love it. I believe it's a 12% mix. Not too expensive either.
Cheers, DL

Fantastic insight and enjoyed the laugh at the end Thank you!
aaaah.... laugher best medicine, expect for crows feet. Davin Lim, BRISBANE SKIN specialist, LOL.
Love, love, love that you are totally unscripted. You’re the best.❤️😀👍🇨🇦💋🌎
Much appreciated. Every sub thanked. So big thank you. Davin Lim
Just wondering what you think of The Ordinary products and people using acids at home. I've been using the range for some tome and see great results but wonder if, by using too many products, I may be harming my skin. Really enjoy your videos. From a kiwi across the ditch. 🙂
Thanks for watching, cheers.. DL
Omg that inserted video was hilarious. Great video. Thank You 😊
Glad you liked it.. some people found it offensive ...I assume they were terrorist looking for skin care.
Can u review The chemical peels form The ordinary. I bought the mandelic acid. I have never used a peel before, and I have oily and sensitive skin
I LOVE THE INFO YOU PROVIDE SO HELPFUL!!!
This clarified the neutralizing question.
//At 1:30
If ph is 0.6-1.6 the PH is low it will need neutralizing- or it will burn the skin.
If using a Cream with ph 3.7 neutralizer is not necessary
Haha 😂 the ISIS PHARMA is such an impropriate name for a skincare company - and the dude’s English is as good as my french too! 🤣🤣🤣 BTW: I look fprward for saturdays and your educational videos Dr. Lim!
Thank you for watching. Davin Lim
Can't wait for the BHA one, sometimes it's a lil bit confusing between AHA and BHA whether which one should you use or can you use both at the same time?
No.. wait. DL
Thank you so much...you’re great!!
Thanks for viewing. Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
hi doctor , you have no idea about how much we apretieat your vidios you are very kind ,,,, i have aquestion what is your openion about brazelian keratin straightners treatment ? what is the plan B if it is not healthy to put on scalp
No idea, I am a laser dermatologist, with quick reviews on basics.. Davin Lim, Laser and procedural dermatologist.
Another great video from our favorite doc! information that I can use! The last minute made me say what happened?! He was stiff and boring. I thought it might be his accent and I said wait! Dr. Davin has an accent too! Have a great weekend all!!!
No problems ...I can take and give as well... Davin Lim, Brisbane Dermatologist.
Joann Dillon, YOU are the one with the accent - that is, if you lived in Oz. You would have an accent almost anywhere in the world where English is spoken - England, South Africa, parts of India, etc. If you are from the southern US, you have an accent in the northern states and in Canada. Please don't think that you don't have an accent because you do.
His Sibling lol i know i do!!! I love to hear all kinds of accents! I also speak French and Spanish.
Joann Dillon, I hope that I didn't offend you. I can be very blunt - one of my weaknesses.
His Sibling no - not at all! We”re all here for Dr. Davin! He’s so awesome but the doc endorsing the product was dry. Have a great day laye mate?! LOVE it!!!!
Great info doc. Hope you enjoy your holidays. Selamat Bercuti! 🙋
Thanks D>
I live in northeast NJ, 25 miles outside of NYC, and man, do I wish you were based in the United States. I would choose you to be my primary skin care doctor and would be a regular (and I know, very satisfied) patient. Dr. Kim, is there a dermatologist in NYC that you know of who is a bona fide expert in fillers, especially for correcting scars? I have seen many docs locally and have not gotten the kind of results I know I can get from watching your videos. Thanks very much, and many blessings for the superb work you do.
Novick, Rapaport, Green, all dermatologist.
Thanks very much, Dr. Lim. I appreciate it.
I replaced my Vitamin C with The Ordinary Arbutin with HA
You should watch Dr Sam Bunting from the UK. Also very good.
Yes, she's great... she's a medical dermatologist, Im a laser dermatologist, and sandra lee pops, all different.. but mutual respect. Oh, Dr Dray, VLOG and derm as well.
😂😂😂 You are so hilarious!!!! He is definitely reading script from somewhere. 😂😂😂 Thank you Davin for educating us 😊
Please do a video on the difference between vitamin A and adapelene.
Merci
Done. RAR receptors... google. DL
I love your videos, I am not sure if you have done this but can you please review The Ordinary AHAs and BHAs :) Thank you
IN time... Cheers,
@@drdavinlim sounds great, really looking forward to it Dr. Lim!
