- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2020
- Sharing with you the most effective treatments I've used at dealing with post- acne erythema (P.I.E) that also help smooth the skin texture and help prevent more breakouts from happening. During a breakout cycle, I focus only on using the active treatments that work to clear my skin. But after that cycle has ended and my skin is left a textural and pigmented mess, these are the treatments I run to, to sort things out. Enjoy my loves!

I love your videos on PIE. They've been super helpful for me, especially to distinguish between PIE and PIH.
This is exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks !
LOVE this, Renee!!
This is the most comprehensive video about post acne treatments!!! Thank you so much for sharing all these info. I'm always struggling to remove the dark marks, I haven't removed the old ones another one comes after my periods .. Never ending.
I have been loving the Cos de Baha Azelaic acid serum. It's under $15 and is a thin runny texture with niacinamide too. Love seeing you again Renee!!
Thank you for this great video and for addressing the Shirojyun line from Hada Labo. I’ve been interested in trying it out for a while. This was really helpful. 😊
this video reminded me of how important your PIE vs PIH video has been to me ever since you posted it. it was so informative and helped me change my approach to skincare. watched it so many times. thank you! my redness has reduced a lot since then.
My friend, it means so much to me that you've been watching (and commenting) on my videos for years now. I'll always remember those of you who engaged regularly from the start. So much love! 💛
This couldn't have come from a better time! Yass!
been waiting for this video for years!! you’re one of the few skincare youtubers i trust! thank you so much renee ❤️
Such an honour Audrey!
I will watch Renée even though the topic isn’t for my skin instant.
Aw thank you, Britt 😘
Same here... I absolutely love 💗 her videos and trust her advice. 💗💗💗
I would watch Renee fold laundry, because I would probably learn at least 10 great tips about folding laundry!
michelle maffia I’d watch her read a telephone book from 1980. 🤣
@@thehouseofrichard7751 ME too!!!
Thank you for addressing the difference between PIE and PIH. I think that too many people with PIE try using treatments meant for PIH or for scars and wonder why they don't see results. Really appreciate your recommendations!
yes, it's a subtle but important difference. PIH treatments could make PIE worse and PIE treatment's won't be enough alone for PIH!
Just what I needed after my maskane crisis! Thanks!!
Thank you for all the information Renee, you always very helpful! 🙏🥰
omg, finally products that don't have a lot of BG IN THEM!!!1 very excited YAYYY THANK you :D
I wish you a good health as well, thank you! ♥️
Great video! Really liked that you also included makeup to cover marks.
Yes please! My maskne is calming down but the acne marks are still there.
Please do a brand review of Geek & Gorgeous!! I love them
Woowo new video about acne! Thank you so much :)
Very helpful, I have very fair skin and due to a terrible reaction to Differin I was left with very bad PIE so this was great. Most videos just look at PIH and say they’re the same (which I know they’re not) so thanks for sharing ❤️
Ugh so sorry you went through that. You're not alone, my first go with tret left my skin traumatized and took weeks to recover!
Thank you for this video 🙏🏼✨ I have been struggling with my skin lately. I'm breaking out a lot, especially on my chin area. My breakouts lasts long and leaves redness for a long time (it really shows as I'm really pale). Have been wanting to try the azelaic acid from Paula's Choice as I love their BHA liquid. Think I have to try it ✨
I enjoyed this video, in special the application step. Thank you Gothamista.
Thank you so much for this video, renee. It was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful love!
Dermstore just finished a 15% off for Skinceuticals so I’m glad I got the Discoloration Defense serum. I also got the Acne & Age Defense serum which I have and has helped keep acne down.
Dermstore always has great discounts for skinceuticals! I'm waiting for the next 20% one!
Thank for the variation in the products suggested. I appreciate to have all these brands I have never heard of to look into. 🤗
So happy to help you discover formulas that are so good!
Great video as always :) is it recommended to use aha/bha toners in the morning or preferrably at night? Thank you
Another great video. Thanks Renee. Hada Labo ( blue bottle). Thanks for the options for exfoliants.
How did you know that this is exactly my problem right now?! 😄 Thank you!
glad this is timely for you but not glad you are going through it!
So many helpful bits, thank you!!!!
Happy you foudn this helpful!
Omg this is just the video I needed. My skin has been going crazy and I’m so red
I hope this helps love!
Another great video, love the sound of hadalabo lotion. Ive been watching it while having my Boost mask treatment. Thank you again for recommendation 💞
Just watched this video, will be buying some of these. Very informative
I’m actually not sick hearing that Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. That product is a gem. It’s sick.
Then I will keep talking about it!
I’ve been using acids and tretinoin for three years now, and my skin has evened out so much. However, I still have some sun damage on my drivers side window cheek that just will not fade. Can you recommend a spot treatment for that type of pigmentation ?
I liked this video before it even began. I just always know her videos are good!
Aw thank you so so much! 😭❤︎
@@gothamista thanks for your wisdom!
The premium version of the hada labo shirojyun (it has dark blue packaging) contains tranexamic acid while the non-premium version (it has light blue packaging) contain beta-arbutin - both the premium and the regular have two versions, a lighter one for oiler skin types and a heavier one for drier skin types, so all in all there are 4 shirojyun toners (or lotion as they're called in Japan).
I'm currently using the premium on one half of my face and the regular on the other half of my face just to see which one works the best for my skin, so far they're both doing a decent job, then again I'm also using l-ascorbic acid, niacinamide, azelaic acid and glycolic acid in my routine so excess melanin didn't stand a chance anyway haha
Also for anyone out there who has never tried anything from hada labo and want to give their products a shot, all of their Japanese products contain parabens, which I personally like since I'm such a skincare hoarder and it's nice to know that at least I don't have to hurry up finishing my hada labo products because they're good for three years after the first time you use them
You are so my kind of skinthusiast, Robert! love it. ♥︎
Gothamista - I'm this way because I've been subscribed to your channel for almost four years Renée :-)
Haven't they reformulated all the products this year?
kinda confused which ones are for oily skins?
Loved the video! For me, I have PIE on my cheeks but I also get red pimples but no more whiteheads really. What product(s) do you recommend for both?
Can I use the Hada when I'm using tretinoin? Thank you--great video.
Great video !❤
This was so helpful. Thank you! I am really interested in trying Skinceuticals Discolouration Defense and Paulas Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster and would love to know your thoughts on NATURIUM’s new Azelaic Acid and Tranexamic Acid products. I have sensitive acne-prone skin.
Thankyou ma'am for such a helpful video . Ma'am which is better to treat pie marks?
Niacinamide or
Azelaic acid or
Transexamic acid
Hey. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
What would you choose between vitamin C and Azelaic acid?
Your videos are so amazing ✨ thanks for the advice/
Thank you Natalie!
Thanks for the great video! I noticed you mentioned both azelaic acid and geek & gorgeous. Have you tried their aPAD? If so what did you think of it?
Ooh I might have to snatch that Hada Labo Lotion 👀
Very informative n helpful , thank uuu👌😍
This is the best beauty channel I hope you double in subs! Thanks for all the helpful videos ⛑💜
Wow you are so kind! 🙏
Gothamista 💜
never clicked on a video so fast
I just love ya n love ya videos thank ya
I feel like I'm getting more spots by using tretinoin. I didn't have any brown spots on my face before starting tretinoin!
I have oily skin but I also use the Hada Labo lotion. It feels better than some of the serums!
it's perfection. so very hydrating!
I'm always waiting for your videos... they're always just so right on point. I have some skin concern and two weeks in - you post a video about this topic. I had adult acne along my jawline and had to take prescription medication. Now only some faded red marks are left. What definitely helped was the Melano CC serum, I use it daily as first step in my a.m. routine.
ugh that melano CC serum is everything!! Their lotion is good too!
@@gothamista Would you use tranexamic acid in your p.m routine together with Medik8's Retinaldehyde?
Hey Gothamista I actually subscribed to your channel when your first video on PIE came out. I became so excited because you were the first source of information on my erythema. I had always thought I had hyperpigmentation, but you changed that thankfully. Would you recommend vitamin c or derivatives for teenager skin, I’ve heard it is not the best for developing skin 😊
Aw thanks for watching since the early days! I don't believe that vitamin C is harmful for teenage skin, I just don't think they need it. The derivatives would be better or even antioxidants like green tea. But the ascorbic acid serums can wait :)
Gothamista Thank you so much for the reply. Currently going to try to get my hands on the Azelaic Acid from Paulas choice!
Do you by chance know the percentage of TA in the Hado Labo?
Thank you so much
Hi Renee, what do u think of the ingredient Idebenone? Is this better than Vit C? Thanks
Can azelaic acid be used along tranexamic acid and ascorbic acid in the same routine? Can I also pair it with retinol? Its such a new ingredient, please make a video just for azelaic acid!
Hello Rene! I am addicted to your videos and grateful for your time and knowledge. Do you suggest the "Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion" Light or Moist?
Depends on how heavy you want it. I have the moist and as you can see, it's very viscous!
@@gothamista Hi! Is there no difference in the formula beyond viscosity?
Can you use SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense Serum while you still get some active acne? My main concern is PIE on my cheeks but I also get a little active acne mainly on my cheeks also but not a lot of active acne.
Great video, Renee! While I don't break out anymore, I have very fair skin and mild rosacea on my cheeks. Any problem I've ever had, heals with a red mark. I had no idea that BHA helped with redness, so good to know! I bought the Boost LED mask from your last video. Thank you so much for the discount code! I want to use a green tea toner during the treatment, that won't cost a fortune. The Benton Deep Green Tea Toner is what I'm planning to get. Would you recommend it?
Absolutely! I have an ig post with the green tea toners I love most! The benton would def be better for you than the Isntree though if you have rosacea and the LED really helps for that too! Pls keep me posted with how you get on!
@@gothamista Thank you so much for responding! I ordered the toner from iHerb, and it arrived in three days. Yesterday. So hopefully I will start using the mask tomorrow. Aside from the fact that I think it will really help my skin. The main reason I made this purchase was with the hope that it might help motivate me to maintain a consistent skincare regimen. I have chronic anxiety, depression, and complex ptsd due to 18 years of physical, and emotional abuse by my mother. These issues make it extremely difficult to stay focused on being consistent with anything. Exercise, eating healthy, skincare, etcetera. My rationalization was that spending this much money, along with it's apparent ease of use would help me accomplish my goals. I never sleep, even with medication. So I will use this in the evening to wind down, and try to meditate as one of your viewers suggested. Thank you so much for introducing me to this product. In this moment, I have hope...:)
Can you please tell me the %tranexamic acid of this product? I don’t see it. Thank you!
Can anyone please tell me if the hada labo is effective with pie? I’ve never tried that brand
Renee, I’m curious your thoughts on & if you’ve tried the Hado Labo green bottle with Licorice being one of the main ingredients? I’ve been eyeing that one because I have a serious weakness for products that contain
Glychrizza! It sounds medicinal & right up our alley. Thoughts? 💭
Thanks for another extremely helpful upload.
Hahah! its such a crazy sounding ingredient! I do have the green HL but haven't gotten into it for long enough yet but will let you know!
Gothamista , yes yes, please do!
Love this video since I’ve recently going through my first experience of hormonal acne at 22 yrs. I was under the impression however tranexamic acid didn’t have promising evidence when applied topically for PIE/PIH???
Yup. But this video is more about her personal experiences which are muddied because she doesn't use the tranexamic acid product in isolation. She is using tretinoin as well as other actives so there is no way to know which product was responsible for the changes.
I love watching your videos Renee! I did have a question about buying genuine products. I've tried use TO hyaluronic acid and also found it sticky, so I wanted to try the Hada Labo you mention in so many videos. Is there a website or store that is your go-to for purchasing a genuine product since I'm not sure I trust buying of Amazon?
I thought it was sticky too until I used it on a wet face. After washing and patting dry I spray toner on my face and then two drops of TO HA and spread. Much better results for me.
I thought Azelaic acid was super gentle lol, I just slap it on my entire face and I've been fine(I use 10% solution)
I was told azaleic acid was gentle but found it to be sooooo drying
Samee and I use it everyday 😂
@@laurahamilton8868 it does reduce sebum producton, I like that cuz my face is oily
Can I use an acid toner with paula’s choice 10% azelaic acid booster?
Thank you Renee, this is truly helpful. How about Aurelia probiotic concentrate? Do you have insight on this product?
I haven't tried it!
Always so glad to see your videos. You have changed my skin over the past four years 💚
I started using medik8 crystal retinaldehyde. I heard you mentioned your Curology thing, are you still using retinaldehyde too? Or only focusing on tretinoin? I really want to try it but want to wait until I finish this medik8 bottle.
Thank you so much, hope you’re keeping well🌺
Aww love knowing this! I was alternating Curology with retinaldehyde although now I'm going to switch away from curology onto something else - will let you know all about it soon. But tret is definitely a level up from retinal. I love the combo though!
@@gothamista Yeah, your channel has been life changing! Thank you for your response, too! I'll follow your lead on this :) I started a free trial with Curology before seeing it, so I'm very excited. I've basically been trailing behind you on your skin journey because it seems our skin is a similar type. All the best! 🌸
Thank you, as always, for your wonderful video! Do you use azelaic acid while you have Tretinoin in your routine? I currently use Tret in the evening and l-ascorbic vit. C in the morning, but the vitamin C proving to be too harsh and I'm wondering if I might have success replacing it with azelaic acid.
Hey. What worked better for you? Vitamin C or Azelaic acid?
What if I constantly have acne ( no cicle). Should I just not use vitamin c at all?
i concur with your opinions on inkeylist tranexamic acid and PC azelaic acid booster!
Hey!I am from Bangladesh and I want to take care of my skin by using korean products. But I don’t have much knowledge about korean skin care products. Would you please suggest me the best korean product for oily skin?
Another tranexamic acid product to check out is the LUZ brightening serum by Bfecct. It’s super hydrating and calming on my sensitive skin. You can buy it on yesstyle :)
A lot of the Hada labo whitening products use tranexamic acid. I use both their premium whitening lotion and also the cream. The Inkey list Tranexamic acid serum is what I'm using right now just to try it out
The shirojyun premium line all has tranexamic acid !
Is it safe to use the hada labo lotion if you have active acne?
Urban Skin RX has a great Even Tone serum with vitamin C and kojic acid and niacinamide.
I love their enzyme mask too!
Paulas choice 2% BHA exfoliate is my holy grail ,its great for acne prone skin
unicorn tears in a bottle!
I agree! Calmed my maskne and lightened my acne marks.
Have any of you had success with tranexamic acid for your post inflammatory erythema?
Love this content! Two questions: when in the skincare steps do you apply the Hada Labo lotion? And can we continue to use these treatments even if we stop having huge breakouts?
After cleansing, and yes these are great preventative treatments and are generally great for keeping the skintone even and bright if that's what your skin needs!
@@gothamista Thankyou! Do I use it before using the paula's choice BHA or after? Cause i usually apply BHA as the first step.
@@vivianwu1258 same question.. Wanna try this product but not sure when to incorporate this on my routine..
@@gothamista before or after bha toner? Thanks a lot in advance.. Learned so much from your contents.. ❤️😊
I’m really interested in trying the Josh Rosebrook exfoliant, I just wish they were forthright about the percentage of AHA they use.
I'm ok with it not being out there as long as I know it won't burn my face off! I had more issues with p50 back then not revealing because it's so, so strong and I would've been more conservative when I first started using it. I trust Josh and this formulations besides, this definitely works and super well!
He has made posts about this on IG that are worth reading - the percentage of acid alone does not determine the efficacy of the product.
Hi Renée. Just purchased the Hada Labo - Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion to help with fading hyperligmentation after seeing your video. Do you utilize after every face wash and would you use this before putting in other serums? Thank you.
Yes and yes!
Is there any treatment of white patches on face
Can I use the shirojyum premium lotion after retinoic acid 0.05%? I have oily skin ☺️
would love to hear about your Curology formulation! didn't know tranexamic acid was an option until now.
@Alex Lai I have the same formula! Mine is Tretinoin 0.14%, Niacinamide 4% and Tranexamic Acid 5%. I actually wanted azelaic acid instead of niacinamide, but they don't currently have that combo in their approved formulary. I just use a separate azelaic acid product applied on top after waiting at least 30 minutes. This formula is working really well for me!
Thanks for sharing Holly! Alex, my tret formulations are in my evening skincare routines!
Hi! I am struggling with pie marks for almost a year now and because of this I discovered the hada labo lotion and been using it for 2weeks already. I love it but piling on moisturizer w/out exfoliating can also ruin your skin in some way right. Now i got some closed comedones T_T can you recommend a best way to exfoliate skin with pie marks :(( thank you!!
Should I still used exfoliate if I used adapalene
😍 yay 📝📝📝
Just what I need as I fight this Tretinoin purge. Super Inflamed hormonal acne sucks. I also ordered the peach and lily cleanser. Will this help Sooth inflamed acne?
Yes that powercalm cleanser calmed my inflamed skin when I had hives!
Renee, fantastic video. Thank you. It relates to me because of my acne scars and redness. For my redness, I am using The Ordinary Azelaic 10% Acid. Do you think the Paula's choice formula would be more effective or potent than the Ordinary? I have to say that the Ordinary jar is very small.
Thank you Marjan! So when the ordinary azelaic acid first came out I really couldn’t use it. I didn’t like the texture at all and it was so drying on my skin. The PC one is so much nicer in texture and a better formula imo combined with other great ingredients.
@@gothamista Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will buy PC once I am done with the Ordinary.
Pleas i really need homre treatment for (PIE) PLEAS 😢
Can i use hada labo lotion in day time?
Plz ans
amazing thank you!!!!
Do you have any recs for texture issues/icepick scars left over from cystic acne?
Murad invisiscar!
Retinoids may help
This video's timing is right on point. Also just bought the Geek and Gorgeous' Cheer up. Small bottle to test. I think it's alright. I might get the bigger version!
I have been getting acne on my cheeks and chin (mostly chin). So I switched my skincare routine now and made it very simple.
Morning:
• 6% mandelic acid + BHA liquid (my skin is used to acids by now but didn't wanna go with something strong so I got this instead of the "Calm down" from Geek&Gorgeous)
• 5% Panthenol + Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) for toner
• Hyaluronic acid to trap the moisture
• Vitamin C
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen
Night:
• 6% mandelic acid + BHA liquid
• Same toner
• Hyaluronic acid
• RetinAl (0.05% retinal serum) from Geek&Gorgeous
• Moisturizer
Hope it works :(
Great routines! I hope you don't mind my making a suggestion? - This only applies if your vitamin c uses ascorbic acid. In your am routine, perhaps switch out the Cheer up, and use the vitamin C before the other products so it works better! Keep us posted!
Gothamista Yes, it's the vitamin C from Geek&Gorgeous. So you're saying to use Vitamin C first then the mandelic acid? Correct?
I am confused ..I am fitzpatrik 3 but I get post inflammatory erythrema every time my acne heals
Yes, that's normal it's just easier for it to turn into brown spots with your skin tone or darker!
Tranexamic acid has changed my skin!!
What products would you suggest for PIE from mosquito bites on the arms and legs? I’m pretty sure it’s pie because I can press on them and they disappear for a second. I have a bad habit of picking scabs. They get inflamed and then the skin gets darker and as they fade over time it’s more yellowish until it’s just a light scar. But I have SOOO MANY SCARS. And it takes SOOO LONG for them to fade
At first I thought it was hyperpigmentation but nothing I’ve tried seems to work 😔
Can you use the Bha liquid exfoliate and the azelaic booster together?
Yes, it's one of my favourite combination for acne prone skin! BHA first followed by azelaic booster!
Wondering what your opinion on Geek and Gorgeous Azelaic acid derivative serum...
Not convinced yet if it really compares with a less concentrated pure azelaic acid. But i will let you know!
