I started using sprinolactone for the last 4 weeks and my skin has never looked better and I'm not oily for the first time in my life. This drug was a little hard to get used to, but it really is amazing the difference it has made. I'm so glad my dermatologist recommended we try it. I didn't know my skin could look like this
My pores on my nose were the smallest they could possibly get when I was on accutane, but they were still way more noticeable than the average person's pores:'( Tretinoin does nothing for my pore size. Unfortunately some of us are genetically cursed in this department
Today my grateful thought is Dr. sam’s love for her profession because she is generous with sharing. Yesterday I was grateful that my bluebirds had babies. It’s the little things that make life richer.
In regards to controlling sebum production, topical spironolactone researh has shown promise in treating acne for women as well as men but it is not available commercially. Winlevi, a recently approved topical antiandrogen known as clascoterone 1% has been shown to inhibit oil production to some extent, though I do not know how good it is
Really helpful to understand this.... thank you. I was that person with the magnification mirror but stopped about a year ago. I have found Paulas Choice BHA really helpful with pores on my nose and I use (and love) your gossamer SPF... it is just like using a moisturiser :-)
I have mature skin.. As a youngster had oily skin. Never had acne.I have to say I did not like having oily skin. Been using retinA for about twenty five years. I know i have pores but I can't see them. I know they are there. I believe is all because of the retinA My skin is normal now
Dr Sam. You are beautiful to watch and those words of wisdom and knowledge is super helpful for us who do not have much spare bucks invested into a dermatologist treament. Thank You!
Ihave never had such a reaction than when I tried to add azaleic acid into my skincare routine. I stopped using the harsh creams, etc. But I truly becsme an acne. Tossed it. Everyone raves about it. And happy if it works for most people. Just did not worked for me. Thank you Dr Sam. Love your cat.
Dr.Sam, do you recommend to wash your face in the am also, or only in the pm is fine? I heard most dermatologists recommend only once a day (pm), especially for sensitive skin, is that correct? What do you personaly do?
Most people use niacinamide with tretinoin because it helps keep barrier function and decrease irritation that comes with using tretinoin. Get yourself used to a nice niacinimide product, then slowly introduce the tretinoin into your routine
I started tretinoin a bit over three weeks ago and my pores are actually more noticeable than ever before. I found similar experiences amongst other people who had started tretinoin but their pore size went back to normal within a few months. So let's hope my pores won't stay this way either.
is there anything that can be done to make sebaceous filaments on the nose look less visible? I already use 10% niacinamide serum, skinoren and 0.025% tretinoin. but they're still really visible!
hi dr sam...can a 48 y.o woman take OCP...she used to take diane35 for more than 15 years before then stopped last year...it really helped her oily and acne prone skin during that course...but now struggling to control the acne
I have very dry skin and visible pores on my nose and part of my cheeks. The only thing thing that is effective is bha for my nose and tretinoin for the rest of my face. At 47, nothing is getting better and it seems there is something new every week that I am battling. I use sunscreen daily and have since I was 30. I wish I began earlier, but we didn't really know as much as we do now.
Is it possible to be born WITHOUT Facial Sebaceous glands? If you had no oil glands on your face, would you still have pores? Or NOT? Just something to mull over that I've always wondered about!
I have seen some studies where they say retinols might shrink fat, volume loss basically I think this was in rats though but then there has also been people who have said that they have seen this happening to them, is this something you have heard about?
Can a dermatologist out there please review the more advanced creams of clinique (such as the custom repair smart creams), Estee lauder and dior please. I'm quite tired of basic products, while can be effective to some, be so overly recycled with all these skincare videos u find on utube. Thanks.
Always great advise. I had to figure it out on my own, large pores with skin. Today I have almost flawless. My skin looks poreless and is very healthy, no longer dry-just normal. Always wear sunscreen BHA once a month AM PM routine Refissa Niacinamide Azelaic Acid Matixyl+Synthe 6 Hyaluronic acid + B5 2O vitamin C (this is not what fixed my skin, added later) Q10 Hyaluronic Acid + B5 Eucerin Q10 cream Sunscreen
I am using tretinoin 0.025 since 10days alternatively, iam using sunscreen and moisturizer as well it seems like I'm getting more open pores and existence openpores are becoming larger why is this happening pls let me know I couldn't able to figure it out
I've used everything,Bha's,azelaic acid,tretinoin and nothing has helped the large pores on my cheeks ...and they just keep getting worse as i age...I'm 39....I use tretonoin and azelaic acid every day anyway for anti aging and rosacea,but I have never noticed any improvement in my pores...it's genetic and like sam says the collagen depletes as we get older making them larger and more stretched looking... there's very little we can do to change that as I've found out ...
Hi, not every one in the world has got oily skin, big pores or acne.......Many of us has got dry, very dry skin and wribkles.....Could please someone in RUclips speak sometimes also about our issues???
I swear.... SWEAR!!! That my pore problem isn’t about too much oil but rather too thick oil!! And I swear that adding a thin oil on my face actually helps!!!! I use differin, salycilic acid, vit C, and sunscreen daily, and my skin is STILL not amazing. Whaaaaat?!!
Have to take my glasses off to put my skin care on. Without the magnifying mirror I would be applying it to the cat. This is a terrible waste, especially as I don’t even have a cat.
Hello! Have you done a video about increased acne in adult women who have come off the pill? I just stopped it and am getting closed comedones on my chin and neck ☹ Come January I'll make an appointment with a dermatologist.
Thank you! Having oily skin and rosacea has been such a pain to deal with. Your advice is very helpful!
So well explained!! I love the "funnel" image, it does help visualize pores in a different light and understand dilated pore issues.
Thank you 🙏❤️
Glad it was helpful!❤️
No words...Dr. Sam...you are wonder woman. Thanks for giving free advise for those of us who don't have access.
P.S. did you plan your cats to compliment your decor, or your decor to compliment your cats? Lovely!
Would you do a video on urea? Does it have any anti-aging benefits?
I really like these longer videos because you go into a much more in depth explanation that helps me understand more ❤ thank you
I'm so glad!😊 ❤️
A
I wish you would put pop ups showing open pores it helps to understand your explanation with seeing it visually, !
How cute are those cats!😍

new year resoltutions: meeting dr sam at her practice
😊❤️

Will professional chemical peels help enlarged pores at all?
Dr. Bunting, could you do a segment on growth factors in skincare? I guess it's the new holy grail...
The explanation of why BHAs aren’t the only answer was so helpful, thank you! 😊
Purrfect video! Thank you Dr Sam for the advice, it’s very helpful and reassuring too :-)
Not sure what I like more: The new video style (amazing!) or your cats as cherry on top!
So happy to hear this!!Thank you 😊 ❤️
I agree! Please keep them as extras in your videos 😍
Tretinoin has made a big difference in pore size for my 61 year-old skin. I’m interested in trying bakuchiol as well. Thanks Dr. Sam.
I'm interested in trying Baku hill, also. Dr. Stephen's said it complements Tretinoin.
Excellent information. Excellent presentation. Lovely
Your skin is beautiful!

I need a summary or flow chart. Its all overwhelming to me!

My cystic acne went away when I gave up all Dairy. Also using benzoyl peroxide 5.5% has made the pores smaller and cleared them out.
Thank you so much!!!!! You are a wonderful woman and with a lot of affection for your audience! From Buenos Aires, Argentina..... hugs and kisses!
So kind! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Very well explained, thank you Dr. Sam!
This is a very informative video ❤ thanks for sharing ❤ can you do a review on soltan sunscreen by boots? Thanks
Skincare advice and cats! What more could I want?
Helpful 👏
Thank you so much doc
I love your cats!!! 😻😻
Dr Sam, what is your oppinion on collagen supplements ? Do they work ?
A good video. Cute cats!
Hi dr Sam, thankx for all you are doing.
What do you think about this retinal from absorbica? It's the only one i can get my hands on.
Dr.Sam, do you recommend to wash your face in the am also, or only in the pm is fine? I heard most dermatologists recommend only once a day (pm), especially for sensitive skin, is that correct? What do you personaly do?
Cute cat!!!😍❤ Thanks for the video.
I learned a lot from this video to help my huge pores. Can I use Niacinamide at the same time as Tretinoin? BTW Hector wants out.
Most people use niacinamide with tretinoin because it helps keep barrier function and decrease irritation that comes with using tretinoin. Get yourself used to a nice niacinimide product, then slowly introduce the tretinoin into your routine
I must remember a little notebook next me! Hello Hector from Floofy! 😻💝🌸
Tretinoin made the biggest difference in my pores.
Me either, it's a significant difference in the size of my pores
Beautiful cats 😍 what are their names🐱
@@mariajosereyes7191 wtf is me either
@@whocares5584 🤣 I'm confused as well
I started tretinoin a bit over three weeks ago and my pores are actually more noticeable than ever before. I found similar experiences amongst other people who had started tretinoin but their pore size went back to normal within a few months. So let's hope my pores won't stay this way either.
Pores are not doors. Thank you Dr Sam. ✌🏾
I'm a male and all the medication for decreasing oil production are often only for women. Is there anything I could take to produce less oil?
I'm sorry, what did she talk about? I have only eyes for the cats 😍
is there anything that can be done to make sebaceous filaments on the nose look less visible? I already use 10% niacinamide serum, skinoren and 0.025% tretinoin. but they're still really visible!
10% aha really worked for me. But I don’t suggest use in conjunction with tretinoin. Too irritating
There are all types of AHA, BHA combos
Thank you so much! But I can’t take my eyes off from Hector 😻 He attempted to open the door for many times 😂
Should Niacinamide go under Retin A in a night time routine?
Personally, I use glycolic acid to clear up my pores, to treat my acne, and and to improve my acne scars.
hi dr sam...can a 48 y.o woman take OCP...she used to take diane35 for more than 15 years before then stopped last year...it really helped her oily and acne prone skin during that course...but now struggling to control the acne
I am in love with your beautiful Bengal. 🥰 Have one too. Besides that, I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
The video stars, the cats and pores

How can I tell if my skin is oily or dehydrated?
Is it possible to be born WITHOUT Facial Sebaceous glands? If you had no oil glands on your face, would you still have pores? Or NOT? Just something to mull over that I've always wondered about!
I have seen some studies where they say retinols might shrink fat, volume loss basically I think this was in rats though but then there has also been people who have said that they have seen this happening to them, is this something you have heard about?
But what about the teratogenic risks of using retinoids for pregnant women?
For me exfoliating or using a clay wash or over moisturising using Shea butter or oils seem to hide them completely

Which brand & colour nail polish are you wearing? Gorgeous red! ❤💅❤

Niacinamide also!
What kind of oil do you use? Squalane?
Try switching to tretinoin since you’ve probably used differin for at least a year now.
I wonder if these skin experts ever talk about botox, face lifts, threading, or micro needling??
Don't worry about the cat, I think it's lovely and it gives a touch to the video haha I love animals, so I think it's very cute :)
Have to take my glasses off to put my skin care on. Without the magnifying mirror I would be applying it to the cat. This is a terrible waste, especially as I don’t even have a cat.
