Normal skin that leans toward oily and acne prone. Great video. I've been on tretinoin for 2 and a half months now so I'm trying to be as simple as possible. My routine is just rinse face in am then sunscreen and pm is oil cleanser then vanicream face cleanser, isntree hyaluronic acid toner, cerave moisturizing lotion and finally 0.04% tretinoin from curology.
I'm pretty sure I have combination skin.... my t-zone is super oily with large pores, but everywhere else is normal.. I do have really large pores on my cheeks tho, like right by my nose
As a man i got really overwhelmed with the whole skincare scene but i just couldnt deal with how bad my face got, this video really did simplify it well, thank you!
I finally tried cerave and I'm obsessed with the cerave pm moisturizing lotion to use in the day! This week a sunscreen really irritated/burned my face, and I washed everything off and only put on the cerave pm moisturizing lotion and my skin was back to normal in 10 minutes (except I got a huge pimple the next day from the irritation)
I have extremely normal skin and I’m so grateful for you covering and mentioning the normal skin type! Me, my sister, and my mom all have the 3 different Cerave cleansers (hydrating, foaming, SA) and we kind of rotate using them since none of us really need just one in particular. Also I’m debating purchasing the CeraVe lotion, the CeraVe PM lotion, or VaniCream’s lotion since the CeraVe cream irritates the skin around my nose
My skin type is VERY dry but very acne prone! It’s super hard to treat without using moisturizing products that don’t break me out. I’ve been using tretinoin 0.025% since March and it’s helped a lot! I also haven’t had any increase in dryness while on tret which is a godsend.
Wow that is amazing you have had more dryness using tretinoin!! I have dry skin with acne and am delaying starting my retinol out of fears of more dryness. Maybe I should just start and it won't be that bad ! ☺️
@@oceanbird. try it! I had to stop using tretinoin in November of 2020 unfortunately because I started getting perioral dermatitis and my acne came back worse than every before no matter what I did (or didn’t do). I’m hoping to try it out again at a later date. Once I stopped Tretinoin, my skin cleared up almost immediately with just using a salicylic acid 2% exfoliating toner. Thinking I may try out the Retin-A Micro version so it’s more gentle on my skin…think that was my main problem, it was too harsh at 0.025% retin-a.
@@lilacfaerie1619 wow thanks for the update!! My derm is having me start at a very low dose of OTC retinol, the lowest one which I think is 0.25%. it's the one from skin medica and is supposed to be a bit more gentle. I think I'll give it a try thanks to your story! I feel encouraged :) also good luck on trying micro! Also have you heard of altreno? I haven't tried any tret but I was researching gentle tret options before my derm suggested the skin medica retinol, and altreno came up. Maybe it would be another option to look at along with micro?
@@dani5612 Hi! First happy New Year! I know I am a bit late but this may help. You know it when sometimes in winter or just colder days your skin tends to dry out but not completely desert dry. And in summer when the weather is hot you get just the tiniest bit oily in your T-zone but the rest is pretty much normal with a slightly dry feeling. The best products to use is the ones that are labelled for normal to dry skin. Hope I helped 😊. And go have a look on Hyram here on youtube,he can really help any skin type. Btw sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my main language.
The first moisturizer is way to moisturizing for combination skin and makes my skin feel as I just didn’t wash it so it’s a no for me. And the CeraVe cream works PERFECT not to oily not to drying just right!
If I didn’t wash my face in the morning, I would have enough grease for a damn oil change for my car 😭 so I agree with her recommendation of twice daily washing.
I completely cut out using a cleanser and only water rinse my skin twice a day and only use the new Vanicream moisturizer with HA, Ceramides and Squalane and my skin is flawless now. I started treating my skin gently and as if it is normal and I love it so much 😊 I have never used makeup (I'm pretty lazy when it comes to putting that stuff on and I'm always in a rush so I don't have time to) I am however going to try and incorporate an spf since I found my go to moisturizer 😊
I use the Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion both at night and at daytime but some days I wake up with my skin feeling parched. I have combination skin and steer more towards products for oily skin so I’m not sure why the lotion doesn’t provide adequate moisture but I still love using it.
Combo dry leaning 🙋🏻♀️ it sucks . Lol some areas are soooo dry. And patchy I use that SA cleanser once a week to "exfoliate a little bit and help a little" . I always use it with my double cleanse (albolene) and I get a little redness but thankfully It goes away in a few minutes.
I just started using the DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen thanks to your recommendation and I love it!! I have dry, sensitive skin and I'm also someone that hates most sunscreens. I actually enjoy wearing this one and don't mind reapplying, so thank you 😊

I've used the Cerave Hydrating cleanser since 2007.I started using retinoids then for my teenage going into hormonal acne.It works well for those with dehydrated/dry due to treatments skin.I also used the lotion and cream.

I seem to have some sort of sensitivity to vanicream and cetaphil products.If I use them to often I will break out and develop a rash.
@@nachurichz6199 The cerave regular pump lotion. It depends on what my skin is like in the morning. I either use the Cerave hydrating, or a Micellar water. I use a alcohol free witch hazel toner (thyers or Dickson's hydrating) or a thick hydrating one that I press into my skin. (innsfree or Klairs) I use my cream (Cerave) or lotion (Cerave Pm, regular or Clinique) in my dry places and a gel-cream (Clinique DDMG or Moisture Surge) in my t-zone. If I am actually getting out of the house I will use sunscreen (I usually use a generic baby one) I double cleanse at night I use a cleaning oil, balm or cold cream first then I use my Cerave foaming cleanser I use my AF witch hazel toner and then layer the thick hydrating one. I use my retinoid every other night. I use my Cerave Pm moisturizer then layer a sleeping mask or my cerave ointment where needed.
@@AbbeyYung I haven't tried it in a while.I was surprised myself. Even a couple of years after giving myself chemical burns my skin still is still off.Having to wear a mask all day at work ,in a kitchen,is not doing me any favors either.
Combo/ acne prone skin here! I have been using the Cerave SA cleanser recently and I'm loving it. No irritation, which I sometimes get with other drying products. Speaking of, what are your thoughts on using bakuchiol instead of retinoids for those of us with reactive skin types?
If your skin can’t tolerate retinoids finding something that is better tolerated is definitely a good choice 😊 have you ever tried to use retinoids 1-2x a week on top of moisturizer as a start?
I really wish they had chosen a different filter for the DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen or just keep it mineral only. Octinoxate breaks me out and it is in fact a very irritating chemical filter along with oxybenzone. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and I am trying mineral tinted sunscreens, currently I have the Paula’s Choice Super-light daily wrinkle defense spf 30 and MDSolarSciences spf 50 in light-medium. Not sure yet which one I like best. Also, I have to comment on my HG under eye cream, the Avène Soothing eye contour cream. This dedicated eye cream has saved my ultra dry and tight under eye skin. I don’t even use concealer anymore (I don’t have bags or dark circles) and my under eyes look super smooth and just perfectly healthy and hydrated. I will continue to repurchase. Love your channel!!
@@mrsquarterblack I recently realized that I actually have combination skin: Oily forehead/nose but normal cheeks/chin. Finding a moisturizer that feels hydrating and doesn’t make the greasy half of my face look even shinier (and not the good kind). A part of my problem is that I like the “clean dewy” look but again, oily skin ruins it.😭
Oily, acne prone, sensitive skin... Also aging skin... Lol. But right now in MN (winter-ish) it's kind of dry. Also, Cerave is my favorite. I started using the facewash and my face stopped being as sensitive as it used to be. I use a light facewash in the morning, then an oil cleaser, then a soft facial cleanser at night. Also, always use face lotion twice a day otherwise my face gets super irritated.
Hi, you are 100% right the lotion is not hydrating enough for dry skin. We need the cream version. I have added the ordinary rose hip oil to my routine and its amazing!!! I don’t need a moisturiser when i use it at night. I know retinol and Vit C can’t be used together but can all oils be used with acids.
I have oily skin around my nose and near my eyes and my t-zone but then I have normal skin on my cheeks but I still have a small amount of acne on my cheeks then the most acne I have is on my forehead I have a lot of clogged pores on my nose and near my eyes and my chin has dark spots and feels oily
I have white heads on my cheeks, but my t-zone seems completely fine, rarely I have a tiny pimple. I never had large pimples or pimple breakouts, but I have so many white heads on my cheeks and sometimes forehead. Is that combined skin?
Hey I just found your channel over the weekend and you are brilliant!! I am 32 and I have dry dehydrated acne prone skin. I am looking for a concealer and finishing powder. I am looking for. A foundation as well but think I found one to try (cover girl + Olay ageless something or another lol) I was using L’Oréal lumi but they just don’t have my color especially for winter. I usually only break out if I wear makeup or around my cycle
Where do you get ur CeraVe products from? I went to Walmart to get the SA Cleanser and I only saw 2 total CeraVe Products and didn’t even see a CeraVe section, although I think they were all sold out cause there were like 5 racks empty
Shivangi Ranjan I use CeraVe products also. I usually buy them at Walmart, but have found that Target has more in stock usually!! Walmart is almost always sold out!!
Nicole Schriever That’s great to hear!! Way too many channels are taking about CeraVe😆. That is a great thing but the bad thing is that they are always out of stock, like what’s happening with the Ordinary, all the good products like the Niacinamide serum are constantly out of stock. I’ll be sure to get it next time I go to target! Thank you so much for your help!!
Hard agree about the CeraVe lotion not being enough for dry skin (or even moderately dry skin). It is so, so light. I wish they'd make a product with a thickness/richness between the lotion and the cream (which is...very intense).
I have normal skin and dry skin and a little bit of redness. I also have dry skin around my nose, and sometimes I get pimples. I use the cereve face wash and the cereve moisturizer. What else should I use???
hi abbey how r u ? I've had a minimal routine and been using tretinoin but tret is not for me I get super red and irritated. doctor said I can use differin since it's less irritating but I'm taking a break from it for now. I only use a facial cleanser and moisturizer I'm done with so many steps .thanks doll
I am great! On my morning walk replying to comments- hope you are doing well too 😊 ahhh yes tret is definitely not for everyone! Swapping to differin after your break sounds like a great approach!
Dry Combination Sensitive (my combo skin is more on the dry side) skin here, I have such a hard time with my skin bc sometimes I have days like today where my skin feels balanced and others it's dry and others the T Zone is super oily. I need product recommendations, Cerave works but the results are mediocre and it's not really for me and Clinic doesn't work for me. Please help 😭😭
Hi! Awesome video. Have you done one on the best azelaic acid you've found? I prefer azelaic acid to retinoids as it also helps with PIH and is a lot less irritating for my acne.
@@AbbeyYung Nice. I wish I could try the ordinary's but you can only get Finacea (prescription-based azelaic acid 15%) here in Canada. Anyhow, I would definitely recommend looking into azelaic acid and tea tree oil. Both are magic for acne, in my experience.
Glad to help! I find it’s easier to explain this way so I can talk about the formulation differences for each product at the same time instead of jumping back and forth
I have oily skin with big pores but at the same time I have dry skin that have flaky areas. I have acne prone skin as well. So am I a more severe combination? I also need to know, what order do I put the products in if it’s the most minimal routine?
I’m planning on trying Differin. I’ve had hormonal acne since middle school (I’m now 23). Do you have any recommendations for acne scars or large pores? I just came across your videos about an hour ago so I haven’t checked to see if you have a video talking about that. I’m getting married next summer and am hoping to somewhat clear and smooth out my skin by then. Thank you!
I'm 22 and I've started using adapalene ( Differin ) , it helped me clear my acne. I have oily skin and my dermatologist recommended me to have a simple skincare routine plus adapalene. Also, TO niacinamide would help with PIH. On the acne scars, there are different types so it's best to consult a dermatologist for that. Topical treatments may not be applicable and you might get laser treatments for the scars. 😄
I have dry, mature skin, and I love Cerave products, but they can be confusing. I use the pm version during the day, aa it really isn't thick like you would except from a night time formula.
I’m a month late but I have recently started watching you and I have dry skin. My skin is sensitive, dry and have more of redness on my cheeks. And my forehead flakes a lot lol. But you have helped a lot. And have you reviewed the inkey list. Because right now that’s what I’m using and I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
I have combo skin. I used proactiv when I was in high school and it worked so well oddly enough but then I stopped using it and started breaking out here and there so I started using cerave hydrating cleanser which was really good but the lotion gave me cystic acne 😖 now idk what to do
Hiiiii... I'm just completely new to skin care. Just started today with your video and this was useful information 💖 However I have a silly question that I was hoping you or someone else could help me answering... When you are applying all of the products, do you have to rinse in between or they go one over the other? Also, before the cleanser, like in the shower, should we wash our face with like a neutral soap? Pls remember I'm brand new in this skin care world 😸 I really appreciate the help 💞
My skin is very sensitive, and I have combination skin. I get an oily t zone and I get dry skin in areas like under my nose and all around my eyes. So would the ceraVe hydrate be a good option? If my skin reacts to something it will become extremely dry and what about moisturizer? I could really do with your help 🙂
I whish you could provide some recommondations for cruelty free products. I have a really hard time finding a suitable cleanser which is affordable and hasn't been tested on animals.
Research I’ve read says that ingredient is actually not pore clogging and that is a misconception. Regardless, I wouldn’t worry about it though! Tretinoin is the best thing to ever happen to my pores 😂
Hi Abbey I recently started to watch your videos and you are very informative. I been on a hunt for a skin regimen that doesn’t dry my skin or make it to oily. I have very dry skin around my chin, nose and forehead but also I am very oily. I am not sure if I am dry skin type or oily because I get both. I did read somewhere my skin could be producing a lot of oil to keep my face moisturized. I recently bought the Cerave moisturized cleanser and the lotion. But was wondering if I can use the Sa renew or the foaming cleanser at night just because I do wear make up and I like the feel of a fresh clean face. I don’t break out a lot is very one in a while. What would you recommend in this case? I will appreciate a recommendation.
Hello dear I have oily n acne prone skin n I’m living in hot n humid area. My doctor ask me to use tretione 0.025 n so in your opinion tretione is better or I should start with retinol
It makes so much sense now. Before I was introduced to skincare my sister got the SA Cleanser and we would use it day and night and we broke out the next day. We thought oh Hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid are really good but we didn’t know it was for VERY acne-prone skin, we just have occasional breakouts, with me having oily and her having dry 😭Thank you so much
I’m really struggling because I’m thinking of getting the PM moisturiser because I’m oily but I already have the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and I’m getting Hyaluronic Acid 2% B5 so would it be okay using niacinamide in the mornings and hyaluronic at night but also using the PM moisturiser everyday?
Just watched a couple of your videos and HOLY SH*T I learned so much! I’m 36 and am just now realizing I should do some research and have an actual skincare routine. Up until now, I’ve been one of those hippies who doesn’t want to use harmful chemicals, so I just used regular bar soap (I know, I know). With extremely oily, mottled, saggy/wrinkly, and hormonal acne skin, I need to make some drastic changes, but didn’t know where to start until now. Thank you!!
Side note: even if you’re not a hippie, check out the Healthy Living app by EWG, which gives safety ratings (and ingredient lists) for tons of products.
Another good video! Dry sensitive skin here that gets so dehydrated that needs all the extra help it can get!I know is a minimal routine but any rec for any extra step to boost hydration?
Abbey Yung great! In what step of the routine? Right after cleanser or right before the moisturizer? Heard both- what do you recommend for dehydrated dry skin?
So i have a combo skin, little bit oily and little bit dry and what products should i buy? for both dry and oil, and should i put it separate or just buy products that are good for both? sorry for too many questions, i never bought skin products and i am a little bit nervous about it. plus its summer so maybe i should buy light products for oily skin?
I am normal skin leaning towards dry in the winter and oily in the summer I need help btw were almost in spring .help me with a skincare routine plzzzz
My skin is a big mess. I have big pores and a lot of sebum production, but at the same time (in the same areas) I have flakey dry skin and my face feels so tight yet very greasy. I also have break outs and black heads. My skin is also very sensitive and has a lot of scars and bigger red areas. It’s really hard to have it MIXED straight up. What CeraVe cleanser should I give a shot?
I would give the hydrating cleanser a shot. I have oily skin and it has worked beautifully for me. It's not too hydrating that it doesn't feel like it cleanses the oils away. It leaves skin balanced and soft without the tight feeling.
Sebina Timm the acne foaming cleanser can dry ur skin out alot especially since you said ur skin is very sensitive, but it is a good cleanser and will help with breakouts and blackheads.
Hi Abbey 😁. I have dry sensitive skin, and use the CeraVe hydrating cleanser. I was wondering since it’s a lotion type cleanser, do you recommend using a washcloth with it to exfoliate more, or just wash with hands.
I've been trying to follow this routine (vanicream gentle foaming, tretinoin/dapsone, vanicream daily facial moisturizer, cerave renewing gel oil) and have noticed that my dry skin has been getting better overall EXCEPT around my eyes. The skin around my eyes isn't red but it burns when you touch. Have you experienced this? Any recommendations? @Abbey Yung
I just started aczone/dapsone topical gel a few months ago, and when the weather turned cold and the furnace turned on and the indoor air is dry, I started getting a similar reaction on my eyelids to what you described! Then I also noticed that in a few days there was also a dry patch and even my gentle moisturizer was burning and tingling a little just on my eyelids. I think it was the dapsone, so if you're still using that what I've been doing is switching to a WAY thicker moisturizer and being very cautious to keep my dapsone application far away from my eyes. I dot it on the outside of my face and rub it in toward the center, staying away from my eyes. I talked to my medical aesthetician who also happens to use dapsone, and she gave me that method. She says dapsone/aczone does travel on the skin even if you don't apply it directly to your eyes, so it's important to keep it away from the eyes. Also only use a small pea size amount. I was using way too much also.
is you have acne does that necessarily mean you have acne prone skin? i have hormonal acne but from what i know i’ve never had any products make me break out worse, etc. i definitely have sensitive skin which leads to a lot of redness and irritation at times...
What would u recommend for a drugstore cleansing oil beside the Squalane Cleanser? I wanted to try the simple hydrating cleansing oil for my first cleanse but i don’t think they make it anymore...
Minimal Skin care sounds perfect, especially in a world that's constantly, bombarding you with products for this and that! Since the mask, I haven't worn any foundation, just mascara.. why wear lipstick if your lips are covered by a stupid mask? I call it my, "Semi Naturel Look." That Tinted Moisturizer, is a must. Thank you!
I have the same skin type. The moisturiser that works best for me is Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Face Cream. It sinks into the skin to actually hydrate but doesn't make my skin more oily cos my skin is getting the moisture it needs, so it produces less oil. I'd recommend giving it a try cos it's quite cheap too. Good luck 🥰
Do you find that you have issues with your makeup cloths getting more stained/harder to get clean when using the Ponds cold cream? I’ve used about half the jar but now I feel like my cloths are gunked up and not coming totally clean out of the washing machine like they used to.
I am I believe Combination. Except my T Zone is... complicated... my forehead and around my nose are dry and flaky, but middle of my nose and cheeks and chin are slightly oily. I am not sure she brought up a cleanser for Combination skin... Please help 🙏 😢 😭
I’m so lost. I have combination skin but I know nothing about skincare. I’ve tried cerave and it didn’t help me. All moisturisers I’ve tried, I’ve been able to rub off & they just feel heavy, like I’m wearing a mask. Tonight I tried the ordinary serum, but the directions weren’t clear, I got it all wrong & had to wash it off! I’m a disaster! I don’t know if/how/when I’m meant to exfoliate? Someone please help me

I either use the Cerave hydrating, or a Micellar water.
I use a alcohol free witch hazel toner (thyers or Dickson's hydrating) or a thick hydrating one that I press into my skin. (innsfree or Klairs)
I use my cream (Cerave) or lotion (Cerave Pm, regular or Clinique) in my dry places and a gel-cream (Clinique DDMG or Moisture Surge) in my t-zone.
If I am actually getting out of the house I will use sunscreen (I usually use a generic baby one)
I double cleanse at night
I use a cleaning oil, balm or cold cream first then I use my Cerave foaming cleanser
I use my AF witch hazel toner and then layer the thick hydrating one.
I use my retinoid every other night.
I use my Cerave Pm moisturizer then layer a sleeping mask or my cerave ointment where needed.
@@AbbeyYung I haven't tried it in a while.I was surprised myself.
Even a couple of years after giving myself chemical burns my skin still is still off.Having to wear a mask all day at work ,in a kitchen,is not doing me any favors either.
spokenme08 tnx for your reply dear
The problem I have with Cerave is that they do sell products in China so they are not cruelty free.
Combo/ acne prone skin here! I have been using the Cerave SA cleanser recently and I'm loving it. No irritation, which I sometimes get with other drying products. Speaking of, what are your thoughts on using bakuchiol instead of retinoids for those of us with reactive skin types?
If your skin can’t tolerate retinoids finding something that is better tolerated is definitely a good choice 😊 have you ever tried to use retinoids 1-2x a week on top of moisturizer as a start?
Abbey Yung I have not. Maybe I will give that a shot. Is there a particular kind that you would suggest using for that?
A thicker cream moisturizer is your best best if you have dry skin! Like vanicream or cerave’s
Yes that what I have ..
Does it help with pimples
Oily skin here!
I really wish they had chosen a different filter for the DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen or just keep it mineral only. Octinoxate breaks me out and it is in fact a very irritating chemical filter along with oxybenzone. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and I am trying mineral tinted sunscreens, currently I have the Paula’s Choice Super-light daily wrinkle defense spf 30 and MDSolarSciences spf 50 in light-medium. Not sure yet which one I like best. Also, I have to comment on my HG under eye cream, the Avène Soothing eye contour cream. This dedicated eye cream has saved my ultra dry and tight under eye skin. I don’t even use concealer anymore (I don’t have bags or dark circles) and my under eyes look super smooth and just perfectly healthy and hydrated. I will continue to repurchase. Love your channel!!
Agreed would love one that’s 100% mineral! I’ll have to try that 😊
Normal skin here🙋♀️
jealous!!!
I think I do too. Sometimes my nose might be just a tiny bit oily.
@JINELY ROJAS same!
@@mrsquarterblack I recently realized that I actually have combination skin: Oily forehead/nose but normal cheeks/chin. Finding a moisturizer that feels hydrating and doesn’t make the greasy half of my face look even shinier (and not the good kind). A part of my problem is that I like the “clean dewy” look but again, oily skin ruins it.😭
@JINELY ROJAS me tooo
Dry skin, using Curology with .7%Tretinion, 42 so skinhas changed from normal to drier so I use thicker moisturizers now.Great tips !!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video has helped me a lot, I am a teenager and was clueless on what to use!
Oily, acne prone, sensitive skin... Also aging skin... Lol. But right now in MN (winter-ish) it's kind of dry. Also, Cerave is my favorite. I started using the facewash and my face stopped being as sensitive as it used to be. I use a light facewash in the morning, then an oil cleaser, then a soft facial cleanser at night. Also, always use face lotion twice a day otherwise my face gets super irritated.
MN family! Love it 💗 We have very similar skin types! that's amazing it's working so well for you
Thank you! Yes, Yay MN!!
Cerave has the tinted hydrating sunscreen spf 30. It is great!!!!
Hi, you are 100% right the lotion is not hydrating enough for dry skin. We need the cream version. I have added the ordinary rose hip oil to my routine and its amazing!!! I don’t need a moisturiser when i use it at night. I know retinol and Vit C can’t be used together but can all oils be used with acids.
I thought so!! So strange they call out dry skin for that one
It is. Maybe its just for the body? I dunno, i just use it for the days when i don’t use the SA smoothing cream on my legs. Its fine.
I have oily skin around my nose and near my eyes and my t-zone but then I have normal skin on my cheeks but I still have a small amount of acne on my cheeks then the most acne I have is on my forehead I have a lot of clogged pores on my nose and near my eyes and my chin has dark spots and feels oily
At this point I’ve realized I have damaged my moisture barrier from over exfoliating so idk what my skin type is right now🥲
Wow ! Yes i agree with you on this skin care routine
😊
I love the thicker one in the tub and I do have oily skin. What is crazy is my pores have never been more clear and my skin is more normal now.
Glad to hear about that particular Cerave.
I never tried the foaming one bc I didn't know that was lather. I assumed empty bubbles. Good to know!
@Jonny Quest Barbie Yet another psycho. Bye 😷
You are so good at explaining things! I really enjoy watching your channel because you break it down so well!
Yay! So happy to have you here ♥️
I have white heads on my cheeks, but my t-zone seems completely fine, rarely I have a tiny pimple. I never had large pimples or pimple breakouts, but I have so many white heads on my cheeks and sometimes forehead. Is that combined skin?
Hey I just found your channel over the weekend and you are brilliant!! I am 32 and I have dry dehydrated acne prone skin. I am looking for a concealer and finishing powder. I am looking for. A foundation as well but think I found one to try (cover girl + Olay ageless something or another lol) I was using L’Oréal lumi but they just don’t have my color especially for winter. I usually only break out if I wear makeup or around my cycle
Thank you I love my Cerave products and they work really well for me 😗😍🙌💜
Where do you get ur CeraVe products from? I went to Walmart to get the SA Cleanser and I only saw 2 total CeraVe Products and didn’t even see a CeraVe section, although I think they were all sold out cause there were like 5 racks empty
Shivangi Ranjan I use CeraVe products also. I usually buy them at Walmart, but have found that Target has more in stock usually!! Walmart is almost always sold out!!
Nicole Schriever That’s great to hear!! Way too many channels are taking about CeraVe😆. That is a great thing but the bad thing is that they are always out of stock, like what’s happening with the Ordinary, all the good products like the Niacinamide serum are constantly out of stock. I’ll be sure to get it next time I go to target! Thank you so much for your help!!
I buy my Cerave at CVS and Kroger also online. 😍🙌 It works so well on my dry mature skin 🙌🙌😍😍
Lorna Hamm Is it still $10-12? I would think it would be more expensive there, but I’m not sure. I haven’t gone to a CVS or a Kroger in months
Hard agree about the CeraVe lotion not being enough for dry skin (or even moderately dry skin). It is so, so light. I wish they'd make a product with a thickness/richness between the lotion and the cream (which is...very intense).
Normal to oily and acne prone🙋heyyy
I have normal skin and dry skin and a little bit of redness. I also have dry skin around my nose, and sometimes I get pimples. I use the cereve face wash and the cereve moisturizer. What else should I use???
hi abbey how r u ? I've had a minimal routine and been using tretinoin but tret is not for me I get super red and irritated. doctor said I can use differin since it's less irritating but I'm taking a break from it for now. I only use a facial cleanser and moisturizer I'm done with so many steps .thanks doll
I am great! On my morning walk replying to comments- hope you are doing well too 😊 ahhh yes tret is definitely not for everyone! Swapping to differin after your break sounds like a great approach!
@@AbbeyYung awesome thx doll
Thanks for all the tips and recommendations. I'll be getting a tinted sunscreen now.
Of course!
Dry Combination Sensitive (my combo skin is more on the dry side) skin here, I have such a hard time with my skin bc sometimes I have days like today where my skin feels balanced and others it's dry and others the T Zone is super oily. I need product recommendations, Cerave works but the results are mediocre and it's not really for me and Clinic doesn't work for me. Please help 😭😭
Hi! Awesome video. Have you done one on the best azelaic acid you've found? I prefer azelaic acid to retinoids as it also helps with PIH and is a lot less irritating for my acne.
I’ve only tried the ordinary’s! It’s in my curology prescription so I haven’t been trying more
@@AbbeyYung Nice. I wish I could try the ordinary's but you can only get Finacea (prescription-based azelaic acid 15%) here in Canada. Anyhow, I would definitely recommend looking into azelaic acid and tea tree oil. Both are magic for acne, in my experience.
Mine is Normal but Dry in the t zone and acne prone so I guess combination of some kind?, great video super helpful! :)
Glad to help 😊
Abbey Yung ☺️❤️
Yes! Thanks so much for this!! ❤️ this video is so helpful to me
Yay I’m so glad 😊♥️
soo helpful but I would have loved if they were all together. Like Oily Skin: Cleanser Moisturizer Sunscreen
Glad to help! I find it’s easier to explain this way so I can talk about the formulation differences for each product at the same time instead of jumping back and forth
I have oily skin with big pores but at the same time I have dry skin that have flaky areas. I have acne prone skin as well. So am I a more severe combination? I also need to know, what order do I put the products in if it’s the most minimal routine?
same i wish i knew
Cera Ve S/AA cleanser is a great and very effective face face exfoilator 2 or 3 times a week!
I’m planning on trying Differin. I’ve had hormonal acne since middle school (I’m now 23). Do you have any recommendations for acne scars or large pores? I just came across your videos about an hour ago so I haven’t checked to see if you have a video talking about that. I’m getting married next summer and am hoping to somewhat clear and smooth out my skin by then. Thank you!
Matryxl 3000 on Amazon. Read the reviews. It’s been AMAZING for me. (Same skin issues).
Susana Sunshine thank you! I’ll look for that
Susana Sunshine is it made by the brand Asterwood?
I'm 22 and I've started using adapalene ( Differin ) , it helped me clear my acne. I have oily skin and my dermatologist recommended me to have a simple skincare routine plus adapalene. Also, TO niacinamide would help with PIH.
On the acne scars, there are different types so it's best to consult a dermatologist for that. Topical treatments may not be applicable and you might get laser treatments for the scars. 😄
Differin in itself is amazing for scares & pores! Other ingredients I love are Niacinamide, Vitamin C, AHA’s & Salicylic Acid 💓
I have dry, mature skin, and I love Cerave products, but they can be confusing. I use the pm version during the day, aa it really isn't thick like you would except from a night time formula.
Thank you so much!!! I'm teen very new to this stuff and you helped me a lot
Of course 😊♥️
I’m a month late but I have recently started watching you and I have dry skin. My skin is sensitive, dry and have more of redness on my cheeks. And my forehead flakes a lot lol. But you have helped a lot. And have you reviewed the inkey list. Because right now that’s what I’m using and I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
I have combo skin. I used proactiv when I was in high school and it worked so well oddly enough but then I stopped using it and started breaking out here and there so I started using cerave hydrating cleanser which was really good but the lotion gave me cystic acne 😖 now idk what to do
Hiiiii... I'm just completely new to skin care. Just started today with your video and this was useful information 💖
However I have a silly question that I was hoping you or someone else could help me answering...
When you are applying all of the products, do you have to rinse in between or they go one over the other?
Also, before the cleanser, like in the shower, should we wash our face with like a neutral soap?
Pls remember I'm brand new in this skin care world 😸 I really appreciate the help 💞
Hi Abbey, do you have a am post workout skincare routine video ?
My skin is very sensitive, and I have combination skin. I get an oily t zone and I get dry skin in areas like under my nose and all around my eyes. So would the ceraVe hydrate be a good option? If my skin reacts to something it will become extremely dry and what about moisturizer? I could really do with your help 🙂
Unfortunately I have no way of knowing how your skin will respond! The only way to know is to test it out
Can you please do a review for elf skin care?? Or a vegan skin care video??🖤🖤
I have already done 2 ELF skincare reviews 😊
I whish you could provide some recommondations for cruelty free products. I have a really hard time finding a suitable cleanser which is affordable and hasn't been tested on animals.
Combination, oily forehead and chin when hormonal. They are normal rest of time but top of nose is really dry 😆. Cheeks are dry!
Lovely!!!! This was super informative! 🥰 thank you 🙏🏻
Of course 😊
What's a good primer for oily skin would you recommend please? I need something very long-lasting, that really mattifies the skin?
Hi Abbey! What are your thoughts on isopropyl myristate (being a comedogenic ingredient) being in trentinoin?
Research I’ve read says that ingredient is actually not pore clogging and that is a misconception. Regardless, I wouldn’t worry about it though! Tretinoin is the best thing to ever happen to my pores 😂
I use micellar water too its amazing
Hi Abbey I recently started to watch your videos and you are very informative. I been on a hunt for a skin regimen that doesn’t dry my skin or make it to oily. I have very dry skin around my chin, nose and forehead but also I am very oily. I am not sure if I am dry skin type or oily because I get both. I did read somewhere my skin could be producing a lot of oil to keep my face moisturized. I recently bought the Cerave moisturized cleanser and the lotion. But was wondering if I can use the Sa renew or the foaming cleanser at night just because I do wear make up and I like the feel of a fresh clean face. I don’t break out a lot is very one in a while. What would you recommend in this case? I will appreciate a recommendation.
I'd stick with the SA cleanser if you don't breakout often!
you seem to have combo skin
Hello dear
I have oily n acne prone skin n I’m living in hot n humid area. My doctor ask me to use tretione 0.025 n so in your opinion tretione is better or I should start with retinol
Could I use niacinamide 10% + Zinc 2% on dry skin or would you not recommend that ? Please respond if you can !!
It makes so much sense now. Before I was introduced to skincare my sister got the SA Cleanser and we would use it day and night and we broke out the next day. We thought oh Hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid are really good but we didn’t know it was for VERY acne-prone skin, we just have occasional breakouts, with me having oily and her having dry 😭Thank you so much
Of course! Happy to help
Thank you for this video. It helped me out and I now know better what to do and what to use!😃
I’m really struggling because I’m thinking of getting the PM moisturiser because I’m oily but I already have the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and I’m getting Hyaluronic Acid 2% B5 so would it be okay using niacinamide in the mornings and hyaluronic at night but also using the PM moisturiser everyday?
Just watched a couple of your videos and HOLY SH*T I learned so much! I’m 36 and am just now realizing I should do some research and have an actual skincare routine. Up until now, I’ve been one of those hippies who doesn’t want to use harmful chemicals, so I just used regular bar soap (I know, I know). With extremely oily, mottled, saggy/wrinkly, and hormonal acne skin, I need to make some drastic changes, but didn’t know where to start until now. Thank you!!
Side note: even if you’re not a hippie, check out the Healthy Living app by EWG, which gives safety ratings (and ingredient lists) for tons of products.
I just started trentinoin and I hope my skin looks as good as yours in a year! 🤞🏼❤️
Which brand tretinioin are you using?
Take before photos!! You will be amazed 😍😍
Normal to dry super sensitive and reactive skin here!!👩🏻🦰🙋🏼♀️
Another good video!
Dry sensitive skin here that gets so dehydrated that needs all the extra help it can get!I know is a minimal routine but any rec for any extra step to boost hydration?
Hyaluronic Acid is a great helper! The Ordinary's serum is a good affordable option.
Abbey Yung great! In what step of the routine? Right after cleanser or right before the moisturizer? Heard both- what do you recommend for dehydrated dry skin?
So i have a combo skin, little bit oily and little bit dry and what products should i buy? for both dry and oil, and should i put it separate or just buy products that are good for both? sorry for too many questions, i never bought
skin products and i am a little bit nervous about it. plus its summer so maybe i should buy light products for oily skin?
I am normal skin leaning towards dry in the winter and oily in the summer I need help btw were almost in spring .help me with a skincare routine plzzzz
My skin is a big mess.
I have big pores and a lot of sebum production, but at the same time (in the same areas) I have flakey dry skin and my face feels so tight yet very greasy. I also have break outs and black heads. My skin is also very sensitive and has a lot of scars and bigger red areas.
It’s really hard to have it MIXED straight up.
What CeraVe cleanser should I give a shot?
I would give the hydrating cleanser a shot. I have oily skin and it has worked beautifully for me. It's not too hydrating that it doesn't feel like it cleanses the oils away. It leaves skin balanced and soft without the tight feeling.
definitely the sa renewing cleanser!
nancyflakz they don’t sell that here😔 could the foaming be just as good?
Sebina Timm the acne foaming cleanser can dry ur skin out alot especially since you said ur skin is very sensitive, but it is a good cleanser and will help with breakouts and blackheads.
Try The Ordinary Niacinamide serum for sebum control, it also works for PIH. 😄 For dry skin, CeraVe moisturizing lotion is good ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Abbey 😁. I have dry sensitive skin, and use the CeraVe hydrating cleanser. I was wondering since it’s a lotion type cleanser, do you recommend using a washcloth with it to exfoliate more, or just wash with hands.
I just use my hands!
Abbey Yung ok. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me!! I really appreciate it!! 😉. Most you tubers don’t reply back to my questions 😕
What exfoliant would you recommend to people with combination skin
I've been trying to follow this routine (vanicream gentle foaming, tretinoin/dapsone, vanicream daily facial moisturizer, cerave renewing gel oil) and have noticed that my dry skin has been getting better overall EXCEPT around my eyes. The skin around my eyes isn't red but it burns when you touch. Have you experienced this? Any recommendations? @Abbey Yung
I just started aczone/dapsone topical gel a few months ago, and when the weather turned cold and the furnace turned on and the indoor air is dry, I started getting a similar reaction on my eyelids to what you described! Then I also noticed that in a few days there was also a dry patch and even my gentle moisturizer was burning and tingling a little just on my eyelids.
I think it was the dapsone, so if you're still using that what I've been doing is switching to a WAY thicker moisturizer and being very cautious to keep my dapsone application far away from my eyes. I dot it on the outside of my face and rub it in toward the center, staying away from my eyes. I talked to my medical aesthetician who also happens to use dapsone, and she gave me that method. She says dapsone/aczone does travel on the skin even if you don't apply it directly to your eyes, so it's important to keep it away from the eyes. Also only use a small pea size amount. I was using way too much also.
I have combination skin and the CeraVe moisturizer for normal to dry skin does not keep my dry spots moisturized
This video was so helpful. Its so tricky and I never know what products to use. So thank you for sharing ❤
is you have acne does that necessarily mean you have acne prone skin? i have hormonal acne but from what i know i’ve never had any products make me break out worse, etc. i definitely have sensitive skin which leads to a lot of redness and irritation at times...
For Oily and Sensitive skin pleasee
And please tell me should I use moisturizer right after applying tretione or should I wait for some time to settle tretione on my skin???
I love the glow and it really makes my large pores invisible
What would u recommend for a drugstore cleansing oil beside the Squalane Cleanser? I wanted to try the simple hydrating cleansing oil for my first cleanse but i don’t think they make it anymore...
Physician's Formula Perfect Matcha cleansing balm is really nice!
I’d have to look into this more! I don’t know of one off the top of my head that I’d recommend!
Minimal Skin care sounds perfect, especially in a world that's constantly, bombarding you with products for this and that! Since the mask, I haven't worn any foundation, just mascara.. why wear lipstick if your lips are covered by a stupid mask? I call it my, "Semi Naturel Look." That Tinted Moisturizer, is a must. Thank you!
I have dry cheeks and oily t zone and can’t find anything that works the best? any help for cleaner and moisturizer?
I have the same skin type. The moisturiser that works best for me is Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Face Cream. It sinks into the skin to actually hydrate but doesn't make my skin more oily cos my skin is getting the moisture it needs, so it produces less oil. I'd recommend giving it a try cos it's quite cheap too. Good luck 🥰
Do you find that you have issues with your makeup cloths getting more stained/harder to get clean when using the Ponds cold cream? I’ve used about half the jar but now I feel like my cloths are gunked up and not coming totally clean out of the washing machine like they used to.
No!! That’s such a bummer
I am I believe Combination. Except my T Zone is... complicated... my forehead and around my nose are dry and flaky, but middle of my nose and cheeks and chin are slightly oily. I am not sure she brought up a cleanser for Combination skin...
Please help 🙏 😢 😭
i have combination skin can i use the hydrating cleanser for normal to dry skin too because the one for normal to oily doesn’t feel good at all.
How about CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser
I’m so lost. I have combination skin but I know nothing about skincare. I’ve tried cerave and it didn’t help me. All moisturisers I’ve tried, I’ve been able to rub off & they just feel heavy, like I’m wearing a mask. Tonight I tried the ordinary serum, but the directions weren’t clear, I got it all wrong & had to wash it off! I’m a disaster! I don’t know if/how/when I’m meant to exfoliate? Someone please help me
Are there any cruelty free brands I can substitute all those for?
I love your makeup look here.
Abbey can you use the CeraVe moisturizing cream on face too instead of the PM moisturizer or is it more for the body?
I use body lotion on my face in the winter, if you're on the drier side then yes! it's absolutely ok to use everyday.
R Riley 👍
Does anyone have a time stamp for combination skin I don’t have time to watch the whole video
I need it tooo
I really love her explanation and also the discription site.. so easy to find what we want
Yay so glad ♥️
Site?
