I’d love to see a video about very dry skin with acne breakouts as a lot of the traditional acne treatments are difficult for dry skin and seeing a dermatologist is inaccessible for many people
Yes that would be fantastic!! Also for people who have really dry skin and rosacea.. honestly I can’t tell if I have rosacea or just small little bumps/texture on my face. Everything seems to point to it but I’m not sure. But my skin is extremely dry too.. I hate it🫤
My fiancé is going through this! He has dry skin, but for some reason he has bad acne on his back. I think it's his genes; his siblings also have bacne. We went to a dermatologist and he was prescribed with Trifarotene together with Tetralysal.
Public Health MD specialist over here, honestly gotta just leave a comment because this was so well well well explained, amazing educational content, and I finally also understood the difference, thank you colleague!!! 😊
1:54: 🧪 Dr. Shireen Idris discusses the difference between glycolic acid and salicylic acid for exfoliation. 3:17: ✅ Glycolic acid is better for hydration and has anti-aging benefits, while salicylic acid is more suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. 6:24: 💡 Glycolic acid can cause hypersensitivity and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but its irritation potential varies based on concentration; 5-20% is effective, with higher percentages providing more significant exfoliation. 9:33: 🧪 Salicylic acid is helpful for acne, but not all products can claim it due to the drug fact label; glycolic acid is the strongest and can make you more sun sensitive, while lactic acid is a good alternative for anti-aging benefits; mandelic acid can be used as an alternative to salicylic acid for oily or acne-prone skin. 12:46: 🎭 She recommends her own acid-based resurfacing mask, Pillow Talk Durham flash mask, which contains glycolic acid, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid. 15:43: 💆 The video discusses different types of acids for skincare and their uses. 18:34: 💆 The speaker discusses the benefits and drawbacks of using acid-based skincare products for exfoliation. Recap by Tammy AI
For some reason, I can tolerate 2% Salicylic acid for my facial Seborrheic dermatitis, it really clears it up! I also suffer from underlying Rosacea and it all seems to vanish with regular use of SA! My skin is sensitive and somewhat dry, but this does work for me!
Can I use your gel mask if I am using Azelaic acid and Tretinoin cream 0.025. Underlying Rosacea.. been using this for about 6 months and my skin looks better. However, not sure if it’s overkill. Please let me know😊
Hi doctor Idriss, fellow doctor here. I just came to say that you are an inspiration and I love your personality and your knowledge so much. I binged so many of your videos and the information I get is amazing and so helpful. So, thank you for helping us all get the best skin of our lives. ❤
Dr. Idriss, your content is life giving!! I've struggled to feel confident in my skin all my life. When I decided to take control and visited my last derm I was looking forward to talking with the doctor about my skin and asking a lot of questions, he gave me some product recommendations but didn't go further in depth with helping me understand the skin. It felt dismissive and was super discouraging. Watching most skincare creators feels overwhelming since I can't gauge what is useful or just trendy. I am SO SO SO grateful for your content as you break everything down so well!!! It's really empowering and I feel like it'll be fun to learn how to care for my skin as opposed to this overwhelming task that will only lead to disappointments and dead ends. THANK YOU X100!!
I’ve been exfoliating with the Major Fade Flash Mask since the product came out and I will not use another exfoliant. I use it Two to three times a week. I started with 5 minutes now I leave it on for a while . My skin is showing the benefits! I am obsessed with the whole trio. Thank you Dr. Idriss !!!
YES, I've been wishing you'd make a video about mandelic acid, but what you said about it being the salicylic acid alternative already helped me a lot. Thank you ✨✨
9% Paula's choice once a week 7% glycolic acid once a week and three days gap between them . muuuuaaah for my acne prone skin with melasma and I am Indian .
Dr Idriss, this is an unrelated question but can you please make a video on how to dye hair with natural products, what to avoid or look for, what dye to use etc.? Thank you ❤
Dr. Shireen, I want to thank you. I had been struggling for years since I was a teenager with acne. Used Proactive and harsh chemicals that got my skin worse. Went to Dematalogist and they would perscribe bs products like the one mentioned. I finally started educating myself and the first videos I saw were yours. I have been able to finally see nice skin on my face. I had no clue about acids. Thank you for educating me on what others couldn't help me with. Really.
Also excited for the fall and holidays! I love using both glycolic and salicylic acid 😊 Also, for my fellow Hidradenitis Suppurativa sufferers - mandelic acid, particularly in higher concentrations for *me* is super effective for boils! It significantly improves inflammation and speeds up the healing process. I’ve been using 25-40% for years on my butt, inner thighs, legs. This is super high so I wouldn’t recommend using it right away, but this is what works for *me* and it is the only topical that truly helps.
I have been researching a skincare for a while now and this is probably the most in depth straightforward most understandable video I’ve seen so far. Definitely subscribing
I wish there was an option for us, who are from Europe to order your products. I trust your videos, your advices and would love to use your products as well. I hope there will be an option in the future.
Last night I wore your mask overnight. I do it every once in a while, but really I should do it once a week because it does make a huge difference. Not a popular opinion it I hated the Paula’s Choice salicylic acid. Hated it! The Ordinary’s salicylic mask twice a week and it does control the oil and the breakouts. So satisfied with it. (For those who enjoy this mask, Sephora has the bigger tube)
I watched many youtube videos from doctors and I have never seen one explaining the difference between glycolic acid and salicylic acid as clear as Dr. Idriss. Thank you!!!!! In recent days. I have been doing daily 20% salicylic acid peel for treating a giant papule that appeared overnight on my left cheek, and also on my entire face to avoid more adult acne from forming. This video unfortunately does not cover salicylic acid beyond the typical 2% concentration. I am now subscribed to Dr. Idriss channel. 🙂
Off label use but mandelic acid worked really well for me as a deodorant replacement. The one from the ordinary isn't very expensive and worked better than any aluminum free deodorant I've ever tried!
Wow! This is one of the best video I have listened to that explained Glycolic Acid for people of colour above age the age of 50. I used Glycolic acid it does not burn my skin, yes I did experienced some tingling sensation but not anymore. My skin was looking dull and dry. Every one telling me how youthful my skin looks. Thanks for explaining
My late twenties were all about preventing and treating acne. Finally used roaccutane and I am acne free and in my early thirties. Now I notice my skin is showing the first signs of ageing (fine lines, loss of volume, lack of brightness and clarity) and your videos have been really helpful in helping me adjust my skincare routine to suit this new point in my life.
Wow, this was so detailed and informative! 🤩Thank you, thank you for all this info! I’ve always wondered about the different acids. I’ve gotten peels before but had no idea about each acid name and it’s effects on the skin. Also, great to see diff products with their prices. So helpful!💖
I just love to see you on pillow talk every Saturday doc,after watching this video, I just formulate a lotion with glycolic acid 5% and salicylic acid 1% to treat my pimples, blemishes and dark spots on my face, and I really love the outcome within 4 days, thanks for your teachings my mentor ❤️ ❤
I use Isntree AHA exfoliant essence with 4% glycolic acid and 4% lactic acid. Though I've just started it. It works pretty good for anyone with sensitive and sun damaged skin!!!
I use a combo because I do still get adult acne. I use Purito AHA BHA Refreshing Solution. It has 7%glycolic acid, 0.28% citric acid, and 2% salicylic acid.
No wonder men complain that we take forever in the bathroom.... actually. Ladies lounge.... I have acne prone skin , the sun helps minimize that situation. However, leaving your cleanser on for 5 plus minutes , ok will try just about anything to minimize my situation. I will say that though my dermatologist was very adamant that I eat healthy , low sugar , fats , and exercise. Sweat cleans your body inside and out.. most importantly, mental calm and peace have an enormous effect on your body and soul.... good luck to everyone . Happy health and blessings
So true about beginnings in September. I have always felt like that- love the change in the air in September and the beginning of the school year. Please do a video on skincare/procedures for closed comedones. I have dry/combination menopausal skin with closed comedones. Always confused.
Thank you for your always very well explained videos. 2 questions: 1. When I use glycolic acids, it burns my skin a little but only for a few minutes. Does that mean it's not good and I have sensitive skin? Or is that part of the process? 2. I would love so much to buy your products but I live in France. Any plans on shipping to Europe in the future?
Thank you for being real and honest! I needed your wisdom after buying Ordinary. I bought it for my body which will be covered (elbows and knees). I'm very apprehensive when it comes to my face, specially during summer months.
Could you please, do a video on how chlorine water effects your face and products you recommend? Because, after going in chlorine water I can't put the same products on my face or else my face burns. No one has answers for me except Google and its not the best reference. Please, please help.
Really interesting, thank you for this! FaceTheory in the UK has a Glycolacsal solution (unfragranced) toner glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%), I'm using it on my lower legs and back of my arms!
Hi Dr. Idriss, first of all thank you for all of your life-saving content 😭 the things I've learned from you are invaluable! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on terra firma-forme dermatosis. It's something I learned about recently that I seem to notice on my skin but there's almost no discussion of it online besides studies and academic journals which are sometimes hard to understand. Thank you again for everything you do!
Love the clear and detailed explanation between the 2 acids! Was hoping inkey list glycolic acid would be featured coz I bought it recently as recommended in one of your Sephora product recommendations videos. The instructions says to saturate the cotton pad but not sure how much to saturate it. I usually pour some into the middle of the pad then apply it all over my face. Any advice?
Love your channel ❤. Been using BHA for over 20 years and it has changed my skin dramatically for the better. I started tretinoin several weeks (Retrinex) and it’s been great. Already seeing results
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have been confused about the different acids and have been using them very sparingly because I have sensitive skin. Now I am more informed and l can go forth with confidante of my choices of acids. I also love that pumpkin spice is in the air, I just bought a wonderful coffee that has the mildest pumpkin spice flavor yesterday and it is perfect with our moody weather here in the UP and starting our fall weather.
Thank you for all the information, the little details and caveats! Very useful and informative, as usual! 🙏🏼🤓 P.S., loooove the TF fragrance on your shelf there! The room must smell amazing 🥰👏🏻
Thank you so very much I am a makeup artist but I was really not fully aware of how much and 75 I need glycolic acid I knew I didn't need salicylic acid I knew that was for younger people but I didn't realize the amount of glycolic acid I need Thank you so much This was so so informative God bless❤
Pharmaceutical Affairs Law is strict in Japan so if you want to get something which contains salicylic acid in Japan, you have to see a doctor!! So outdated. Everytime I go to the United States(business), I try everything that you recommend and they are so good. I really thank you for your lovely videos!
Thank you for this! I have been using Paula’s choice BHA just on my nose for prominent sebaceous filaments and it makes no difference. Any other recommendations? Also I have read that BHAs do NOT make you sun sensitive so could be used in the morning. Is this a bit of a grey zone?
I also tried Paula’s choice BHA for sebaceous filaments on my nose and it did nothing! A couple weeks ago I started using glycolic acid from the inkey list and it’s working great!! Surprising since salicylic acid is supposed to be better for cleaning out pores, but I’m happy I tried glycolic
I just love your videos and your no bs way of explaining things about things all skin care and life! Thank you for sharing a bit of you with us! I’m going to just the cleansers as a mask idea! Have a wonderful Saturday! 😊
I think I get what you intend by "well aging". Everybody should be talking about WELL aging and put the accent on talking Care of oneself and one's own well being rather than engaging in a battle against Time we cannot really win anyway. I'm New here and I really appreciate your videos 😊
I hope someone with those black dots on their nose is reading this comment and buys themselves the PTR salicylic acid face wash ❤ literally a game changer!!
This has been the best video for me! Thank you so much. I tried the Paula's Choice ones and oh boy, it was so strong that it set me back in my journey and created irritation. Thank you Dr!
You are so adorable. Thanks for your content . Learning a lot . Thank you 🙏 I m combination skin , leaving in Florida , 43 years old. can I use both salicylic and glycolic acid . Since I want to target pores but also aging?
You are so beautiful and fun to watch! I am sure you have heard this before, but I think you and the singer/musician, Jax. Shes awesome too so know that is a compliment ❤
Please make a video on the order to put products on your face and how often e.g. vitamins c , salicylic acid, azacylic acid, moisturiser etc… oily blemish skin. Its confusing having all these products and not knowing how much and when to use
Hi from Paris, France! Dear Dr Idriss could you please make a video on micro-cysts (I am not sure about the English term for this, could it be "mellia"?) which appear under the skin on the face. Why do they suddenly appear, what causes them? Does an inappropriate skin care bring them about? And most of all, how can we get rid of them ? Can this be done at home or only be handled by a professional ? Many thanks for your always very informative and no-non sense videos.
Hello, Dr. Idriss! I love watching your videos. Your content is superb, your delivery intelligible, and your authenticity makes you relatable and fun to spend time with--thank you for making me smile! I have a request: as a self-proclaimed skin nerd and skin care addict--I should start a 12-step meeting--would you please consider building into your discussions the issue of actives within skin care as it relates to shaving the face? Eg., safe application time between shaving my beard area and neck with a blade and using AHAs. Thank you! Mark
Thank you for explaining the different acids and their usage so well and sharing your expertise! I do have a question: I have normal skin everywhere except for my nose, which has gigantic pores and is super oily. I've been using a 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser this whole time because it feels like the only cleanser that works on my nose. Should I not use it on the rest of my face? And if not, what would be good to use? How do people with combination skin choose their skincare?
New subscriber here! Never left a comment on your channel before so I’m just stopping in to say hello ❤ thank you for all your amazing content it’s so helpful and your personality is lovely!
Have read that long term effects of glycolic acid can be actually damaging to collagen. It has not been studied as much, and is not yet FDA approved…. Can yiu share more on its long term effects plz
I’d love to see a video about very dry skin with acne breakouts as a lot of the traditional acne treatments are difficult for dry skin and seeing a dermatologist is inaccessible for many people
Yes that would be fantastic!! Also for people who have really dry skin and rosacea.. honestly I can’t tell if I have rosacea or just small little bumps/texture on my face. Everything seems to point to it but I’m not sure. But my skin is extremely dry too.. I hate it🫤

Same problem here, dry skin with hormonal acne! What am I supposed to do? 😢
My fiancé is going through this! He has dry skin, but for some reason he has bad acne on his back. I think it's his genes; his siblings also have bacne. We went to a dermatologist and he was prescribed with Trifarotene together with Tetralysal.
Most of the videos I come across are for oily acne prone skin. That's what makes it difficult to find suitable products.
I love love love that doctor Shireen does not act like we all have thousands of dollars to spend on skincare! I cant wait to try her mask!
Yet her skincare is 70$ lol

Thank you Tammy Al❤
Thank you so much ❤
I’m excited about this one. Salicylic acid seemed to make my skin very angry and worse. Glycolic acid makes my skin look great.

I hate the Paulas Choice SA too. It just sits on top of my skin. Feels weird.
Maybe try their blue bottle instead. I liked the texture much better.

Better than glycolic acid? That’s what I’ve been using and it works well too. Maybe I need to try that:)
@@PiXie232 Oh, I've never tried glycolic under my arms. I always think of glycolic as more intense, but I will definitely give it a try.
Wow! This is one of the best video I have listened to that explained Glycolic Acid for people of colour above age the age of 50.

So true about beginnings in September. I have always felt like that- love the change in the air in September and the beginning of the school year. Please do a video on skincare/procedures for closed comedones. I have dry/combination menopausal skin with closed comedones. Always confused.
Please allow us to ship your products to Australia!!! Really looking forward to trying your brand x

Thank you for being real and honest! I needed your wisdom after buying Ordinary. I bought it for my body which will be covered (elbows and knees). I'm very apprehensive when it comes to my face, specially during summer months.
Huge misunderstanding that dry skin does not have acne, white head, milia, black heads !!!
Great video with great and very good declarations! I am a german pharmamasist and I love your videos❤

P.S., loooove the TF fragrance on your shelf there! The room must smell amazing 🥰👏🏻
I'm a man from Malaysia and I love your content. Btw good choice of Tom Ford perfume back there
So The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% is not recomended? Way cheaper than the both options aha+bha said in the video but idk if its good
This product is dangerous and it’s banned in some countries.
She said the % for AHA in the video, so you know why
Thank you so very much I am a makeup artist but I was really not fully aware of how much and 75 I need glycolic acid I knew I didn't need salicylic acid I knew that was for younger people but I didn't realize the amount of glycolic acid I need Thank you so much This was so so informative God bless❤
Off topic please talk about your bracelets
Yes!! They're gorgeous 😍
The most informative video on skin care that I have seen!! Thank you!!!❤
Thank you so much for ALL of your recommendations, not JUST your products… you’re the best Doc!
Pharmaceutical Affairs Law is strict in Japan so if you want to get something which contains salicylic acid in Japan, you have to see a doctor!! So outdated. Everytime I go to the United States(business), I try everything that you recommend and they are so good. I really thank you for your lovely videos!
Thank you for this! I have been using Paula’s choice BHA just on my nose for prominent sebaceous filaments and it makes no difference. Any other recommendations?

OMG!!! This is super informative and interesting ❤❤❤❤ Thank you Dr.S
THANK YOU!
great information! i have been binging all of your videos and you are so helpful
Fantastic video! So educational. Love your content & candid no nonsense delivery!!

You gained a new customer today.
Thank you so much for explaining this in detail couldn't ask for a better explanation on everything❤
Exactly the video I needed this week, thank you!! Are you going to bring Pillowtalk Derm to Canada?
LOVVVEEE DR.Idriss, so informative and no nonsense!! You are my GO TO skin Queen Dr! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️
I hope someone with those black dots on their nose is reading this comment and buys themselves the PTR salicylic acid face wash ❤ literally a game changer!!
Here in the Philippines, Christmas season starts on September 1st! ☺️ love your content btw!
Please make your products accessible in Europe
AWESOME!! Thank you soooo much for this explanation!! I have ALWAYS been confused between all these acids!!
I have usually clear, combination skin. Any time I introduce salicylic acid to my routine I start breaking out, so I lean towards using glycolic.
You are a gem ❤
This has been the best video for me! Thank you so much. I tried the Paula's Choice ones and oh boy, it was so strong that it set me back in my journey and created irritation. Thank you Dr!
I switched from BHA to AHA and my face stopped peeling. It's looking so much better.
ooo im using dr. lancer's bakuchiol and lactic acid pads they are so good
Please mention why you are not selling in Europe It is so frustrating hearing about your products but not having access
Thank you!!! This is such a great help!! ❤ These are the kinds of videos I get the most out of because I like all the information.
You are so adorable. Thanks for your content . Learning a lot . Thank you 🙏
I m combination skin , leaving in Florida , 43 years old. can I use both salicylic and glycolic acid . Since I want to target pores but also aging?
I enjoy your style of information giving and rate your advice highly.
Greetings from the UK x
Please do one on exfoliating enzymes on the body
You are so beautiful and fun to watch! I am sure you have heard this before, but I think you and the singer/musician, Jax. Shes awesome too so know that is a compliment ❤
Thank you, Dr. Idriss, for another great video and your succinct explanation. Now I know which one to use.
Thank you very much this has been my very big headache. But with this video I understand everything so helpful to me ❤❤
Thank you so much for educating us!!! Great info!
Ha! I’m watching and working out!
Dr I love all these videos. I’m almost 40 and have had zero skin issues instill recently my skin is just blah.
Finally I found solution for my questions ❤️
Please make a video on the order to put products on your face and how often e.g. vitamins c , salicylic acid, azacylic acid, moisturiser etc… oily blemish skin. Its confusing having all these products and not knowing how much and when to use
Could you do a video about layering acids with retinols and/or how to incorporate them?
Would love that as weel!
Hi from Paris, France!
Dear Dr Idriss could you please make a video on micro-cysts (I am not sure about the English term for this, could it be "mellia"?) which appear under the skin on the face. Why do they suddenly appear, what causes them? Does an inappropriate skin care bring them about? And most of all, how can we get rid of them ? Can this be done at home or only be handled by a professional ?
Many thanks for your always very informative and no-non sense videos.
Hello, Dr. Idriss! I love watching your videos. Your content is superb, your delivery intelligible, and your authenticity makes you relatable and fun to spend time with--thank you for making me smile! I have a request: as a self-proclaimed skin nerd and skin care addict--I should start a 12-step meeting--would you please consider building into your discussions the issue of actives within skin care as it relates to shaving the face? Eg., safe application time between shaving my beard area and neck with a blade and using AHAs. Thank you! Mark
Please discuss this: How to incorporate glycolic acid and/or salicylic acid when using retinols? Thank youuuu!!! Fan from Philippines!
Don't use at the same time. Alternate them daily.
Hi! I hope you see this, but it would be great if you make a video talking about underarms! Whitening, smoothening, protecting etc. please 🙏
I trust you the most as a askin specialist. Love !

I loveeeee the TLC from Drunk Elephant 🙌🏼💕 AHA and BHA
I love you .
Thank you for explaining the different acids and their usage so well and sharing your expertise! I do have a question: I have normal skin everywhere except for my nose, which has gigantic pores and is super oily. I've been using a 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser this whole time because it feels like the only cleanser that works on my nose. Should I not use it on the rest of my face? And if not, what would be good to use? How do people with combination skin choose their skincare?
