9:33 - Wash your face in the morning, evening and AFTER exercising.
9:54 - Change your pillowcase at least once a week, or every few days if you have oily face skin, like me.
10:07 - Change your washcloth every 2 days.
10:14 - Avoid alcohol based cleansers, toners and products overall, ESPECIALLY if you have oily face skin.
Also, if you have oily face skin, avoid oil based face products, as well.
A lot of other doctors have recommended using a foaming face cleanser, such as CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily skin.
Sleep better, eat better, don't stress. These are the worst ones...
Thank you so much
Really.
@@Frank.Stones You're welcome, man.
I do all of these but still can’t get rid of it.
should i avoid oil cleansing too in case of oily acne prone skin??
🎉
Thanks for sharing! For a deeper understanding of natural acne care, shezinest is a gem.
Absolutely the best video I have found that addresses the causes of acne and the ways to treat it. Thank you Dr. Downie.
I dont want to treat. I want to cure. Acne is a problem from the inside out, "treating" it from the outside will never cure.
Dermatologists are just drug dealers, tryna sell you products
Literally
Yeah bro, good luck treating your genetics. Acne is literally an incredibly controllable problem, but then people read too many unrealistic comments like this and instead of applying a cream on their face for 10 seconds every night go and try "curing" something without a cure by trying 30 different conspiracy theory diets with no evidence or other bs
Not been my experience. I spent 14 years trying all kinds of alternative treatments to cure acne from the "inside". In the end, a Benzoyl Peroxide 5% gel applied for six months nightly literally got rid of all the acne. ALL. It has never come back. Keep your philosophy and hocus pocus logic to yourself!
So how can I cure it from the inside out?
your the one who explained best in the easiest way yet so informative. thank you so much
What dermatologists never EVER state is if you dont "pick" do the pimples magically go away??? I rarely find that happens. What happens is the liquid turns to something hard over many weeks then it doesn't come out without help.
if u pick ur pimples it will leave a scar which is very difficult to get rid of, and if u keep touching ur skin throughout the day u can get more pimples. so if u don’t pick on ur pimples and just let them be or use a spot treatment, they will go away eventually without leaving a mark
Use a hot wet wash cloth to drawl them out. Wear a pimple patch if you are a picker, then hot wash cloth when it looks like it is ready to pop. It takes a little longer than popping, but it will work.
Straight to the point, informative, tells us everything we need to know AND efficient, love this video❤ thank you so much
Wow seen millions dermatologists, first time i understand what acne i have , thank you ❤
I love how you classified the acne! Every level of acne requires different treatments and attention. Some other videos just focus on talking about turmeric masks or salicylic acid, etc. without addressing the fact that severe acne may need prescription medication like Accutane!
The perfect explanation. Thank you!
I’m sure she’s the most loved lecturer ❤
i took notes while i watched. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much! This really helped me
I'm a smoker and I can admitt that even though I've stopped picking and used salicylic acid, and I've seen a great improvement. I still have white head breakouts all over my face and I know its because I'm smoking. It's just so hard to quit when deep down you don't want to but you know you need to
only way forward is thru, brother. best of luck
Good luck. We are counting on you.❤
Pls where can I get the acid send a pics
I have smoking friends cigarettes and weed both but they have the clearest skin while all they do is wash their face.
@alisha5673 nah I hear that, but everyone's skin types are different, I wash daily found routines that improve it, but i always get break outs when I'm smoking more
I really appreciate this video, it helped me to finally understand my acne after years of struggle.
Super helpful video!
So well explained, very through and clear.
Thank you so much for this video, I have learned a lot from it.
I had the worst case of acne in my life a few weeks ago. It actually caused a lot of pain and discomfort. First time I had to use benzoyl peroxide. Cleared it up in about a week. Also applied cbd oil as I read it has anti bacterial properties to it plus it helped with the pain.
Did it really work? i am going through same can i also use it?
@@harshitajangid1261 yeah it was extremely effective. Was skeptical about the benzoyl peroxide. I read up that it can dry out the skin and cause it to crack, which is why I applied CBD oil infused with coconut oil after the benzoyl had absorbed.
duh@@harshitajangid1261
A weeek ??? Been having a flare up for more than 2 months and can not make it go away 😭😭😭😭
@@somebody7070same girl! I’ve lived my whole life with clear skin and now my face is covered😭 it’s on my cheeks and chin, they start as closed comedones then slowly turn into those painful cystic pimples
Thank you for the helpful information Dr. Jeanine
Great quality information, salute from Brasil ❤
I needed this video, thanks.
I don’t like the medication for acne.. all I know is was on some medication.. two months later.. I was told I had stage 1 breast cancer.. I think the best thing is to get facials. Regularly.. find a great person that can do facials
Best video for all kind of acne 💜thank you 😊
Thank you so much.
She’s a Real One! 😎🥰
Dairy has been the primary cause of my acne personally
Thanks you mama🙏🏻 can you also do a vid on a proper doer for all those types🤎✨
Thank you
Brilliant woman
Great information,
we can also try Radiant skin hair nails formula for it
shes got sense of humour which i liked
Thanks alot
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
May I add: ZINC (pill form) is very powerful, I use it for my hormonal acne and it's been a gamechanger as well as Niacinamide (vitamin b3), tretinoin and that keeps mine under control. If my insurance covered I'd be utilizing the red / blue light therapy as well, I should do isotretinoin but this current regiment has proved most effective 👍 this is a great overview thanks, there's some missing parts like diet etc but maybe that's another vid 👍
pls post another videos how can treate athore problems of skin
What about more gentle toners with AHAs and BHAs? I swear other dematologists reccomend them?
While watching this i got goosebumps
I dont know why
Thanks 😊
Your video is helpful
How do I get rid of molluscum contagiosum from my baby skin. Thanks

6:14 Salicylic Acid is a BHA and Glycolic Acid is an AHA. It is mentioned the other way around in the video, which is wrong.
she's so sassy!
I have black heads, white heads, and what I believe are papules in my T zone, around my hairline and around my mouth. I have oily skin and I use Cetaphil daily face cleanser every night followed with the Cetaphil oil-free moisturizer for combination skin. I have sensitive skin so most cleaners and moisturizers I’ve tried burn my skin. The Cetaphil moisturizer I use kinda does as well but not to the point where I think it does any damage. I’m struggling to find any OTC products to help me. I’ve tried benzoyl peroxide for spot treatment, but since I have so much acne around my face it seems pointless to use. I keep my pillowcases clean too. Can anyone help me?? I’m desperate for advice.
Ask your dermatologist to prescribe tretinoin
the most common otc medication that can be used for all of the things you have is adapalene. you can take it without a prescription & can use it all over your face. just make sure you use a PEA sized amount of it on your WHOLE face after washing your face. you can apply it directly 5 mins after washing your face, or you can moisturize, apply it then moisturize again (the sandwich method). apply it only at night & make sure you apply spf the next morning or your skin will become even more sensitive. adapalene is a very mild version of retinoic acid (a derivative of vitamin A) but it can still cause inflammation, so you can start by using it once to twice a week at night, then increase it to more than twice the next week (if your skin is adapting & responding well) then increase it more until you’re able to tolerate it for nightly use. it’s important to moisturize bc it dries ur skin & it’s important to use spf no matter what. DO NOT use more than a pea sized amount bc that wont speed up anything but irritation. seeing results requires patience so please have that & if you can go to a dermatologist & have more severe meds prescribed to you under their supervision then i believe that’s better for you if you wanna be supervised :) hope your skin heals pretty quickly! & in case you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning on becoming pregnant, stop using it 4-6 months prior to your pregnancy plannings.
Use cerave sa cleanser. Basically a salicylic acid cleanser. After that use a good moisturizer with ceramides and oleic acid sometimes called vitamin f. Don’t add toners and serum yet till you deal with the active acne. Your salicylic cleanser should start at a low percentage before going higher. PS 2% is a high percentage. Most importantly wear sunscreen. Tretinoin can be introduced a month to three months after using the above, seems you need to heal your skin barrier, and using tretinoin on broken skin is horrendous. Also learn about how to apply tretinoin using the sandwich method, start with 0.025 every three days a week before going higher. If it’s too harsh switch to adapelene, while using the same application method, because even though it’s less harsh than tret, it can still cause irritation. Don’t use salicylic acid if you start using tretinoin. Stop it momentarily and use a hydrating cleanser, especially if you have dry skin. Most important thing to do is get a good moisturizer for your skin type with those above nutrients, and a good sunscreen.
Edit: If you’re using tret, follow the instructions of the comment above me, it’s perfect on how to apply tret
You need a medicated soap like tetmosol
Benzoyl peroxide is very effective. I do not suggest using it as a spot treatment, as you're supposed to leave a thin layer of product on your face. Then you may want to choose between using the gel as a wash, or for longer sessions. If you have sensitive skin, you should leave benzoyl peroxide on your skin for at least 2-3 minutes then wash it off. If this method is too subtle and your skin requires more treatment; leave the application on for 2 hours, then rinse. Don't forget to follow up with the rest of your skincare. A simple noncomegenic, oil and fragrance free moisturizer should do. If no irritation occurs after a few days of conducting this skincare routine, you can increase your quantity of benzoyl peroxide gel by leaving it on overnight, then washing it off in the morning; continue with the rest of your skincare as usual.
Using it as a spot treatment will not be effective, as I've tried this before. It does nothing.
I have dry skin, except for my t zone but I recently got an outbreak on one side of my face. They are red in different sizes and they come back again and again mostly under my skin. They don't have poss and mostly don't heart but leave scars. I don't have a good dermatologist to go to. Can anyone please help me what to do and use?😢
I have comedional acne but it doesn’t have white or black heads, it’s just tiny bumps that are skin colored
Pls help I need advice
Hi,
Could you please guide me on how to treat or know my skin very well.
I always have rashes on my skin like pimple form but not pimple, whenever I open the rashes it will escalate all over my skin and keep expanding.
I have taken different types of pills no avail. I have also rubbed different skin disease cream.
Honestly I don't know what to do anymore. Please help me out if you have any solution to this is issue
you have uneven skin texture and sensitive skin. use as essence right after cleansing. and then before moisturiser, use an exfoliating serum. i use Invity exfoliating serum and they use mandelic acid which is gentle for sensitive skin but still helped me to smoothen out bumpy skin and faded my acne skin. but if you buy, start off using this only 3x nights a week.
How to get rid of hormonal acne 😢😢😢

Am 16 boy and have alot of acne that can't go away please helo it hurts😢
For Acne you must know that
Your skin mirrors your gut health. In other words, if you're looking for clearer skin, it might be time to take a look underneath the hood and see what's going on with your gut.
70% of your immune system can be found in your GI tract. So gut problems or stomach issues will impact other areas of your body, like your skin. That's why-a lot of the time-SIBO and skin issues like acne go hand in hand. In fact, one study found people with acne were 10 times more likely to have SIBO when compared to a “healthy control group.”
small intestinal bacterial growth (aka SIBO) happens when you get an overflow of bacteria in your small intestine. Symptoms of SIBO include digestive issues like nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, and then, of course, acne.That explains why eating certain foods when you have conditions caused by digestive problems-like SIBO, IBD, or Celiac Disease-causes breakouts or flare-ups with your acne. For example, foods like wheat, dairy, and sugar cause your gut to become inflamed-aggravating your SIBO symptoms and appearing as acne on your skin.

Hi. I've been using and trying many products but still it wont stop my break outs. Im so depressed right now, i dont want to show my face to the world. I isolated myself because of this for a long time. I hope you notice me i just want to ask if i can use sulfur soap following salicylic acid cleanser ?
Have u found an answer
@@user-be4qb3zt1e no one notice my concern :(
Did you hear about fungal acne? This is a different type of acne, that can not be treated like usual acne. I'm from Germany and I learned about this at "hauttief". Maybe you take a look at her website or youtube channel. Wish you good luck with your skin journey!
That sounds like a lot. Salicylic acid and sulfur are drying to the skin by themselves. I wouldn't use them together in the same session. Alternate. Use the salicylic acid in the morning and sulfur in the evening or alternate the days. I usually wash twice - heavy cleanser ( like one with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide) first and then a gentle cleanser ( one with hyaluronic acid or some other heavily moisturising ingredient) second. Dried out skin makes acne worse. Moisturised skin barrier keeps the acne away.
is benzoyl peroxide suitable for 16 year olds?
Lol immediately you said do not touch, pop , 😂😂 like u knw what I was doing. I was busy touching my face and popping 🥲
I have Acne pus under my cheeks like lumbs full of bacteria how to treat it? Plzz help I am suffering!!
Should I apply spot treatment first or a serum?
serum
"dont pick, prode or scrape your acne" well crap i do it everyday. thanks for the advice. going to have to try and stop doing that now. much love
Me too and I noticed it gets worse every time.
I have both Whiteheads and papules.Can you please suggest me which ingredients can I used to work for both of them
mandelic acid! i use Invity's exfoliating serum and they have mandelic acid inside. super gentle and worked wonders for my uneven skin texture.
Common retinoid to use please
Invity retinoid serum.
My skin is so dry but i have white heads in my forhead.. I use olive oil as makeup remover. Are those whiteheads caused because of this oil? What should i use to remove these..please reply
use an exfoliating serum. i use an exfoliating serum from Invity, and it made my skin texture smooth.
Accutane or isotretinoin is not a safer option as its not skins microbiome friendly, it can cause long term harms.
i have sensitive dry skin and i have been struggling for about 2 months but i dont know what product works for me everytime i try to use new recommended products my acne and pimple get even worse
How are you doing with your acne. I have sensitive skin too
alternate between a cream moisturiser and microemulsion (basically a lightweight moisturiser). if your dry skin is flaking, use cream moisturiser. if your acne is more active , use a microemulsion. for acne prone skin, i found Invity's microemulsion super gentle but moisturises my skin enough to not make my skin dry and does not irritate my skin.
Now let me make sure I understand:
I need to see “a Board Certified Dermatologist”?
Im very unfortunate. I have pimple underarm shoulder chest and giants on my face 😭😭😭
"you didn't get the acne over night" MAM my face legit has broken out even more within 2 nights !
Is Salycilic not BHA
It is!
What if I'm washing my face with a face wash and I scrub out the pimples is that bad
yes, it will irritate the pimple even more. they are very sensitive, you will cause inflammation. i recommed using an exfoliating serum. for pimples, i feel Invity exfoliating serum worked the best and is very gentle so it will not cause any redness either. You can also consider pimple patches.
I am watching this video after popping my pimple 😢
Wajah anda cantik sekali, aku suka melihat kulit yang lembab dan cerah seperti kulitmu.
what about empity acne? quite red, no pus inside and not painfull...
they could be skin bumps. use Invity exfoliating serum. I use it to smooth my uneven skin texture and it's my holy grail.
Wait!! Everything else she says is well repeated by all dermas/YT channels BUT then She drops a niacinamide bomb at end without any details? What firm? Hiw much? How often?
Awesome! Blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish.Acts 2vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13

What if you damage your barrier while using AHA and BHA? Should you stop using them?
it is so like yuk
