For some people Dermatologists aren't easily accessible & not everyone's skin reacts well to the same thing, my sibling had a bad reaction to Tretinoin while it works (is working?) for me. : )
True. Started this regimen last year during the lockdown. It works. You have to be patient though because of initial purge from tretinoin where acne seems to get worse. Mine took 3 months before the purge subsided. My sister’s purging period lasted 6 long months. She almost give up. Good thing she perseveres.
Actually Differin is supposed to used every day, even if you don’t have any more acne. It’s just like using RetinA everyday for anti-aging and cell turnover. Retinols are basically the only thing that have stopped my cystic acne and cleared my face.
Is it safe to use it for longer periods of time? I have been using it for a year now, when i stop using my acne returns, a lady assistant at pharmacist told me it's a medication so not to use it and try to find something natural for my acne. 🙃
@@rumystik I'm sorry, but I really hate when people say to use something "natural", as if chemically synthesized ingredients are bad for your skin🤦🏻♀️ There's nothing wrong with using adapelene for a long period of time, if it really was, they would tell you, like hydroquinone for example. Differin has a hydroquinone serum, and tells you to use for no more of 3 months or so at a time. If the Differin gel is the only thing that keeps your acne at bay, then keep using it!
@@parteiivanchhawng2649I'm using differin, it took few months to work. You need to be consistent and in-between uses if it gets too much, take a break from it. Remember use only a pea sized amount.
Would love to see a video on how to manage facial hair( eyebrows, upper lip chin etc). What tools are good to use and can these tools be reused? What's the most hygiene way to rid of them. Thank you for always sharing knowledge and experiences ❤️
I just 24 years old and since the covid and quarantine, my acne breakout become so worse. All area on my cheek to my jawline have acne. As someone who is a fresher, my confidence level drop so much to have interview session and sometimes I cry over how bad my skin has become 😢😢
Please make sure you're not giving yourself acne through your diet. Dairy and gluten contribute greatly to acne because the first messes up your hormones and the latter raises inflammation in the body.
I had the sameeee acne issues! Bad, painful, lumpy, red, sometimes warm to the touch acne. It was so embarrassing for me to work in retail and have to help people. I suffered for yearssss dude. A BIG thing that helped me? Getting new pillows. Not just pillow cases (that could help too), but whole new pillows! I was using the same old pillows for a while and as soon as I washed them deeply, my acne changed up in like a week! I ended up just buying new pillows 😆 I still have acne around those areas, but not as bad as I did before. Way easier to make go away/control and not too difficult to cover up if I needed to. Other tips: drink way more water and tea - exercise regularly (even if it’s only for 30min. Just sweat a little!) - doing things that lessen my stress levels (I was highly stressed when I had the worst acne) -get some sun in your life (but wear sunscreen!) - drink less coffee or coffee with little to no sugar and cream. I used to drink lots of coffee when my acne was bad bc I had a busy schedule and it was one thing that made me happy during the day (kinda sad but whatever). When I stopped for 2-3 weeks, my acne lessened!
@@radiclelife I realized when I had hormonal acne was when I drink lots of milk since I craved milk so much. I made milkshake, dalgona coffee, eat cereal and etc. I never knew that I cannot drink the normal milk anymore because before this nothing happened to my face 😢😅 but yeah, I think I need to change my eating habit, lifestyle and my sleep. Those are really important! Btw thanks for the tips! 😘😘
@@diyadiya6243 I feel you sis! Hope you able to cure the acne! Make sure to always change that mask you used even if you use it for short time! And always wash your face after use them. Be strong sis!! 😘😘
Ladies, always wear sunscreen starting from age 0!! Periodically check whether your sunscreen is breaking you out. All serums or acids etc. will not help if you're using sunscreen that causes your acne breakout. I learned it the hard way
I always get told I look a lot younger than I am, which I love, and hope to continue for as long as I can, and I always tell them, “It’s sunscreen. I’ve worn a facial sunscreen religiously since I was like 10.”
@@daphnesmith7430 I have combo oily/acne prone and use eltaMD UV Clear. It took me a while to find one I love, and I’ve tried many, but since I discovered using this, I’ve never left it. It feels like a light water cream, and absorbs quickly, without any white cast. I literally can apply it right after my moisturizer and it still blends right in. They have a tinted one too, but I haven’t tried it. I get it from Dermstore, and they have their own site as well.
I’m turning 26, barely touching any dairy products and having the worst hormonal acne. You have just reminded me about a lot and literally just given me so much hope😭😭😭😭
I love this channel, but I kind of wish they’d mention brands/products to avoid or the downsides to certain products. They’re so positive all the time! 😂
The information you guys give in your vidoes are always so thorough and up-to-date! I've been watching you guys since 2016 and I've learnt a lot throughout these years!! The in detailed scientific ones are really interesting and the explainations are always so senseful and on point....
Get it touch with a dermatologist and they’ll recommend you either differin or tretoine according to you skin type. It’s okay, it’ll take time but it gets better Don’t lose hope♥️
I find it harder to deal with breakouts as an adult as my skin is dry now. While when I was a teen it was oily so was ok with acne care products but now they would be way too drying. The Paula's Choice 2% BHA and their 10% Azelaic acid are the only ones I can use now for acne
Thank you so very much for this video Fel💗. I can’t explain why I am so emotional about my hormonal acne filled/ irritated skin.. I have been obsessed with learning about skin care for the first time in my 32 years and my previously neglected skin is telling me to go back to the basics to rebuild my skin barrier. We are really struggling financially and trying to find focus on how to pick affordable but really effective products has been a major stressor.. I feel like my skin ‘type’ just completely changed and I am relearning my skin. This was just so encouraging! When I can I will still seek out a derm but this gave me some confidence and encouragement that it will be ok☺️
I don’t have oily skin or acne( don’t hate me) but I love watching all these videos. No matter beautywithin topic I’ll watch them all!! Such a stress relief
This video as a whole is so educational and reassuring ha! As a person who naturally has oily skin and moderate blemishes or breakouts during my teens, I didn’t think I’d go through that again in my early adult life 😅 now I have combo skin and truly learning to care for myself ☺️❤️✨
I love Fel! ❤️ Don’t get me wrong. But Differin is not a spot treatment, or something you use for a week and then when you’re skin is already clear again, you stop. That ‘part’ of the video might be misleading. 😔
Why is the number of subscribers NOT increasing for these lovely girls and their wonderful content? Just wondering 🙄 Been noticing this for a while now.
Same but I curbed it via diet and simplifying my routine to back to what I did before quarantine. I also wear a face serum mask under my mask as protection so I get hyaluronic and salicylic on my skin and not the rubbing of the mask.
@@aishamurrell193 I had a reasonable routine before then my forehead started to have small bumps. Removed my oil in the routine, added bha. Then, my forhead was in control then my chin started to act up..I simplified my routine but still...😥
@@joycedavadilla4513 could be the mask and rubbing. If I'm out for long periods of time I make sure to use the serum mask I mentioned otherwise i used disposables so it's a fine time use. I also try to limit sugar, no white/simple carbs, and no dairy. It sucks but trial and error for sure. Hope you can get to the bottom of it.
I'm in my early 20s and I've been having acne since i was 14. I've been to dermatologist many times and although the acne is gone for a period of time it keeps coming back. I've only started using skincare products a month ago and there's no improvement so far cuz I'm still breaking out. Watching this video had me realized that maybe it's because of my hormone and eating habits.
Eating better and drinking more water and way less coffee has really helped me. I still get acne, esp around my period, but it’s far better than my early and mid 20s. I’ll be 28 this year and I’m going to try to get an rx for Tretinoin (spelling?). I know there’s a purge that goes on, some ppl here say for one month, one person said 6! But that short amount of time (and yes, it’s short!) is worth it if I can look younger for longer and be more confident in my skin! Simple is better! Edit: Also regularly cleaning your blankets, pillow cases, towels and changing those out helps a lot. I also deep washed my old pillows bc and my skin changed up in like a week (after I saw that change, i bought new ones lol). So, I blame a lot of my acne then on just poor hygiene for a while...that was bad and gross on my part haha. So glad I learned
Oily and acne prone skin of care and right product to keep it healthy. I have been using bioderma sebium moussant gel to cleanse my skin. Move the dirt and Unclog my pores produce a chance of acne and blackheads. It maintain the natural balance of the skin and keep it healthy.
i hate hormonal acne! i got on birth control to lessen the occurrence of cysts, but i still get a couple once in a while. they take so long to go away and usual leave a scar that takes a while to fade :(
Well I'm 25 y.o rn.. My period has always came on time BUT my skin is always breaking out (i don't really use any kind of products) so i kinda lost and don't know what to do anymore, and yep though I'll just try to use what my granny or mum used (natural products like olive oil and stuff)
Try cutting out dairy, wordked really well for me. I never use to have acne until i was 23 when cystic acne ruined my life and although i struggled for a year now i don't get any breakouts expect occasional tiny pimples from eating sweets. Its amazing how diet can affect many peoples skin while some people are so lucky!!!
Hi! Have you heard of REVOX brand? They also make serums of active ingredients like AHA, retinol, salicylic acid, squalene, etc. I see this brand a lot in Spain.
Speaking of Ceramides you guys HAVE to try the new Avocado Redness Relief serum by Glow Recipe! It’s reduced my redness and inflammation like crazy over 1 night!
really appreciate this as I’m currently struggling with my acne and was wondering if using adapalene and niacinamide was the way to do about it. may just goatee to lick up some products
Loved this. It’s come at a really good time for me as my skin is really changing. I’ve got hormonal acne and it drives me insane! Fel, with oily skin do you think the beauty of joseon dynasty cream is ok for me? Is it greasy? Thank you 🙏 💓
@Felicia. I watch a lot of your videos and I always see you testing and using a variety of products. I also have this whole collection now from buying new products of the same category every time. Do you switch up your products every day? Like a different moisturiser every day? I'm curious
What videos can I watch from you for low price and effective skin care for my face? Teen 16 (Problems: Uneven skin tone, dry and dehydrated, forehead bumps and scars, make it glossy and bouncy, kind of rejuvenate my skin).
For the forehead bumps maybe look into closed comedones, and for video recs 5 Ways to Boost Your Skincare Routine for Soft Bouncy Skin + Dehydrated Skin Tips by Beauty Within seems like something you might be interested in. I'm no dermatologist and can only speak from what I've seen & experienced. Hope this helps!!
Cerave cleanser & daily moisturiser (i use foaming cleanser really massage it in both my face neck and upper outer arms where i have kp and thats just one pump worth and let it sot for a minute or so while i brush my teeth or soap up and shave my underarms etc then i wash it off under the shower and use my hands to make sure ive really thoroughly rinsed and then i get out of the shower and while i clean my glasses my face dries a little not a lot its still damp and a little misted thats when i do one pump of cerave daily moisturiser and do two strokes under my eyes and then pat my cheeks and forehead and then start rubbing it in and then use the last residue on my neck and outer arms. I saw results literally overnight my skin felt sooo soft and bouncy and smooth and i had to force myself to stop touching it. Ive been using it for a week now the smallest bottles are about 10 to 15 dollars in austraia for about 250ml thats all ive used besides spraying the odd bit of water on my face on top since i live in australia and its dry af but yeah ive used cosrx good morning cleanser and the aha bha toner before with amazing results but even cerave might be better and i can get it here and ive just recently ordered the ordinary from adorebeauty there niacinamide zinc bottle and also the 5 percent lactic acid just to try because ive heard amazing things and i wanted to try them out havent arrived yet but yeah skincare reddit is your best friend read as much as possible and youll see reoccuring products and brands and then look into them and see if those products could be good for your skin. And of course drink water eat healthy as much as you can and use sunscreen the highest spf is best and make sure its broad spectrum to cover uva and uvb rays. But yeah just give your skin a total detox skin wise for a day or two just clean with water and then use a new cleanser once a day then after a day or two add the moisturiser and when those work well today without any reaction use them both twice a day and also look into a supplement vitamins preferably get a blood test from your soctor to look for any deficiencies and get them to print out the results so you can see your levels and decide what would be good to increase. Overall add a handful of raw nuts a day and a piece of fruit and a small bowl of veg like broccoli with melted cheese or pumpkin soup (pureed pumpkin and vegetable broth) something like that and youll do amazing.
Dear try dim supplement if u suffering from hormonal acne even mild that help me a lot and use bha based cleaner , niacinamide moisture and a good sunscreen that all u need and ofcourse diet play major role so I suggest you to include more curciferous veggies and no time u get results . Hope you'll get what u desire .❤️
@@muskanrayeen5031 thank you n yh I do use bha, retinol from the doctor n stuff but niacinamide serum I've finished n I can't afford to get another one which is a bummer but I really need to change my diet n it's so hard, I love chocolate!
@@muskanrayeen5031 thank you and btw is the dim supplement safe with other medication I take antibiotics as well for my skin but it doesn't clear everything and I have to take medication for epilepsy, will dim affect it?
@@Neonusrat as dim is a natural compound found in curciferous vegetables or either eat curciferous vegetables. Like cabbage , cauliflower , brocolli however eat this in essesive amount will trigger your thyroid gland so make wise decision simple answer of your question no there is no harm in taking and also I don't know about epilepsy so for safe side ask your dr good luck 👍
hello beauty within . let me ask for collagen drinks which can also drink and can treat or support for who have acne and acne skin people. Collagen can't support to acne prone skin or worst acne? I would thanks if you interest my comment. . .
Can you review about luxxe white products here in the Philippines because when I use it my pores open and I got acne and oily skin so face right now has so much acne pls help thank you Im half 20's right now
Thanks for all the info ! I’ve been using Paulas choice BHA for 5 months now. I still break out all over my face :( what else can I do ? (I use it 3 times a week and niacinamide on other days)
@@neetadsouza7870 the face theory azaclear 15%- it lasts me like 4 months per bottle so it’s quite good value or i haven’t tried the naturium 10% one but i’ve heard it’s good if you want a lighter texture (i wouldn’t recommend using the bha at the same time tho)
I am thing I am using just too many of each product at each application? I think I just use too many products at once..What would be your recommendations? Can multiple layers of each stage of skincare be problematic??? for example multiple applications of 1st treatment, toner, essence, serum??? HELP ANYONE!!!
Beauty within, somewhere in the us: waer two sunscreens... People in germany (living on the same latitudes as canada ): meh...i don't think i need a sunscreen today though it got like 25°C
Speaking of 30s I really need help with fine lines on my forehead. I can do laser stuff to get the veins on my face treated. But I desperately need help. I have done skin care all through my 20s I didn’t expect the fine lines to show up
My skin therapist said that acne on the forehead is related to your bowels. You'll have to switch up your diet, maybe you started eating food that isn't that good for you personally. It differs per person. 😉
Cleanser moisturizer and sunscreen. Good cheap cleanser is the Krave match cleanser and moisturizer from Cerave. The Cerave moisturizer with spf is good for the day
Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen is the base. It's good to start out simple and not try to many things at once until you've built the base of your skincare routine. If you need something affordable CeraVe works well, if your skin is sensitive (gets red, burns, allergic/bad reactions) I would recommend avoiding salicylic acid, retinol, and benzyl peroxide as those can be added later and are good for acne prone & oily skin types (though my personal experience hasn't been to grate with benzyl peroxide so I'd suggest caution with that one). Sensitive and/or dry skin will work well with the CeraVe hydrating cleanser its super gentle & also good for neutral/"normal" skin (when in doubt choose the safe option peeps). If you are acne prone or have some problems with skin texture CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser works well, and for moisturizers the CeraVe moisturizer for "normal" to oily, is also really great. These are things that have worked for me and I've tried. I'm not a dermatologist or anything, if something doesn't work for your skin it's totally normal since different peoples skin can react in different ways, even to the same products. I found CeraVe products to be a good base; very gentle and non-irritating, but I always used spot treatments or different products along with them to fix my other troubles. There are tons of informative videos on RU-vid about skincare, skin type, specific brands, affordable brands, etc. (Sorry I don't know anything about the Krave match cleanser.) Also, sorry that was long and all over the place but I've been there done that with a fair amount of products/ingredients and trusted the wrong person with my skincare (love my mom but she had perfects skin all her life lol "random body lotion will work," she said, "it's the same as face lotion", she said....)
Oh, I forgot sunscreen. Sunscreen during the morning even if you don't wash your face in the morning, when I was young (so like a few years ago lol) I just splashed some water in my face in the morning, but I always washed my face at the end of the day and that worked while I was young and my skin wasn't so oily (cries). Sunscreens from CeraVe can have quite a white cast and be difficult to blend so they aren't my favorite but they're not bad, Neutrogena Sensitive skin spf 60 is a good one and about $8.97 or something it does have some white cast but it sinks in easily and disappears on pale to medium skin tones. It might be difficult to find a good one that leaves no white cast on darker skin tones :( . If I got anything wrong or anyone has a different experience feel free to correct me I'm not a skincare professional by any means.
Um 25 now n my hormones are still out of whack.. 😑 Medications help only for the time being.. Once u stop taking them they start partying again on their own. It all begins in the Gut n ends in the Gut. But it really takes so much to fix the gut when u've created an inferno there for 2 decades 😭😭
