Please do a video on acne prone DRY skin, bc looking at comments it seems like there are several of us who have this skin type and condition. And “sensitive” doesn’t necessarily mean “dry”
The thing is dry skin can’t be acne prone. Because acne causes by oiliness, which dry skin hasn’t. So your skin is basically dehydrated and you need to stop using acids and retinoids, get more moisture to skin. Then you’ll see oily skin with acne 🙂
@@oleksandraloza Even though oily skin and acne often go hand in hand, acne can also occur with dry skin. Anything that clogs your pores can cause breakouts. And while sebum is a common culprit, it's not the only one. Dermatologists recognize dry acne prone skin 😌
@@oleksandraloza My skin it normal/dry but it gets congested very easily so I am break out prone. I also get hormonal acne around my chin, yet I’m not oily. So it does exist!
I have acne prone combo skin. Super dry on my cheeks and since I started using Naturium squalane my cheeks feel soooo much better. Also I deal with hiperpigmentation and your Tranexemic acid is just a miracle for my skin ♥♥. Its getting much brighter and HP is fading.
No, I respectfully disagree. This vid is not good for sensitive, prone-acne skin. Please stick to one only. And don’t use salicylic acid with differin. Can use in the morning to cleanse tho. Please keep your routine simple when using retinoids. And lastly don’t scrub cuz it tends to penetrate deeper and will cause more irritation. And if you’re doing a waiting phase to see for reaction don’t use another treatment in between cuz duh it will defeat the purpose 🙄😒😁 hope this comment saves someone ✌🏼💜
I know benzoyl peroxide is very drying and can be sensitizing. But for me is fundamental to have an active that directly kills acne bacteria. Personally, I use a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cleanser, it doesn't dry me out because of the low percentage, and because it's a wash off treatment. I would recommend that to a sensitive skin routine if you want to add some benzoyl peroxide.
Nice video ! I think you forgot to mention that you're not supposed to use salicylic acid and differin together on the same night, that can cause irritation and differin wouldn't work as well as it's supposed to. Dr. Dray has awesome videos on differin and the ways to use it for anyone interested.
@@linamalakbelouanas9828 that's not true I got a prescription routine for my acne which included a salicylic acid cleanser and adaplene gel I was supposed to use it together it works amazing because salicylic acid preps your skin for the adaplene or other retinol treatment you're using
@@linamalakbelouanas9828 mmm no. I have sensitive skin and use effaclar microexfoliant gel as a facewash and adapalene. And as long I use HA and a good moisturizer my skin is not only fine, but glowing.
In case she doesn't, general idea with milia is to: Firstly, make sure your skin is exfoliated enough so that no gunk gets stuck in the skin (not in the pores) but overexfoliating or doing it too roughly somehow makes you more prone to them, so don't go crazy with machine made exfoliations or whatever they are called in english. Best idea is to find a working vitamin a retinoid/retinol for you and figure out how often you need to use it to get the best results. And of course start slowly. Second thing is to make sure you don't put anything too thick or clogging on your skin or overmoisturize (not overhydrate, moisturize). Worst offenders are paraffins and petrolatums and their oils. Too much oleic acid (for example, olive oil, coconut oil) might be too much too. Also favor sun screens with a lighter texture and make sure no sun damage adds to the milia proneness (also important when using the vitamin a of course). Thirdly, make sure you HYDRATE and moisturize enough. When the skin is dry and/or dehydrated the surface is more hard than soft so it is harder for any kind of unwanted gunk to get out. You also need less moisturizer if you go heavier with essences and water-based serums, which is more milia friendly. Leave removal to a pro if the milia won't go away with this kind of a routine in 6-9 months, it is really difficult, near impossible to do it safely and hygienically enough at home. Removal done wrong most often leads to getting a new, bigger milium in it's place. This is coming from a beauty advisor who also struggles with extremely sensitive (and multi-allergic) skin and milia. Hope this helps if Susan is not giving any better advice with a video :)
The differin should help your millia. If you can’t get a hold of it, AHAs and BHAs are your best friend. Got rid of my milia. Also, I read somewhere that honey helps. I don’t know if that’s true, but I have been using the Cosrx Propolis toner that contains 10% honey extracts and it helped a lot too.
Only a few minutes into the video but YES TO SIMPLIFYING YOUR SKINCARE 🙌🏻 I struggled with breakouts all through my teen years (22 now), and the past year or so I literally stopped everything and only used cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and cerave moisturizing cream and my skin dramatically changed for the better. I also stopped wearing makeup every single day (except mascara and a little brow touch up). I’m back into wanting to try new skincare now, and it’s so much easier to tell if something is causing me irritation because I know my true baseline now, if that makes sense.
I use tretinoin 0.05 and I have sensitive skin. Some people may also think they have acne with their sensitive skin and it can actually be rosacea which can mimic it. Its best to avoid acids with sensitive skin. I agree with the simple routine. I only use cleanser, moisturizer and treatment. The dermatologist is the best resource when it comes to sensitive skin.
This video couldn't have come too soon - a combo of mass retinoid use, pandemic stress and mask-wearing has stressed out soooo many skins - I feel like most people under 45 are dealing with sensitivity right now! My product recommendation is The Ordinary Niacinamide and Zinc serum - the zinc fights acne and the niacinamide calms/soothes the skin while strengthening it.
I just discovered her and liked her but today found out she was promoting her own brand without let her viewers know it was hers. I only found out because someone in reddit brought up Susan Yara controversy and I looked it up. She turned the comments off on her video when she revealed Naturium is her brand and uploaded an apology video which she has now deleted. Why? Last video of hers I will be watching. But it’s obviously your choice if you like her and she has helped you.
I love oil cleansing as my first step and it actually does help to unclog the pores. Over time my skin is definitely feeling better and looking glowy and youthful. Thank you Susan.
Susan do you think that you can start putting the prices of each of the products that you recommend during your videos someplace on the screen? Sometimes I take notes on your videos and I just need to know price ranges, what I need to save up for, what I need to think about spending money on -that sort of thing. Could you do that for me please?
Ever since my early twenties, my skin broke out in rashes or acne with any product I tried. Crazy sensitive skin to the point I couldn't use anything. Was so heartbroken that I had given up for years, but very once in a while I tried a new product but always had issues. I had another urge to take a risk, and I FINALLY found products that I can use! Plus, they work! RE:ERTH skincare has been amazing for me. Skin is just glowing ✨
If you have sensitive skin, you should really put your Differin on AFTER your moisturizer. Always apply a retinoid to clean moisturized skin to reduce irritation.
Acne and sensitive skin, I feel so seen! I'm wondering though as I want to tackle well-aging needs as well how to incorporate a copper peptide serum. In the day time I love using Vitamin C serum before a moisturizer and at night I use retinol about 3x a week in serum form and then a AHA exfoliant 3 nights a week when not using retinol. I've been so confused how to properly incorporate this peptide serum without further irritating my skin. Thanks and love your channel Susan!
We basically have the same routine lol except my AHA is in the skinmedica aha/bha exfoliating cleanser so I can use a non exfoliating active on those nights too.
@@Zubstep1315 do you use copper peptides as well? I was using it on nights that I exfoliated but read that AHAs and copper peptide are not great together. To be safe I'm using it night and day for one day when I am not using vitamin c, retinol or AHAs.
@@annalouiseplease If the exfoliating treatment is in cleanser form then it shouldn’t interact with your other actives that are serums or essences since it’s basically just a wash off treatment. May I ask what copper peptide product you are using?
@@Zubstep1315 it is a toner that I absolutely love (Krave Kale Lalu Yaha) so on those nights I just use a niacinimide serum and moisturizer. I'm unsure how to fit The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptide serum into my current routine! Any suggestions?
@@annalouiseplease Unfortunately copper peptides and benzyl peroxide are those two mean girls who don’t let anyone else sit with them and peptides hate vitamin C so my only advice is maybe just finish your aha toner (cause we love the environment:) and see if you can fit or rearrange the actives in your products by using them in different forms like cleansers or toners that can be layered with other actives like serums and essences after waiting a few minutes. Reactions really occur when you don’t wait and just slather all the products on on top of the other without waiting for them to sink in so id even venture to say you could use the peptide serum with the aha toner but just wait until your toner dries down before layering. Also finding products that are formulated in a lab with combinations of actives like retinoids and peptides is a safer bet rather than playing chemists in our bathrooms with layering ingredients. It’s all a journey and if you figure it out girl lmk cause I’m constantly switching my routine up based on what my skin is telling me and she is bipolar af lol
I have so many thoughts on this as someone with this skin type. Thank you for encouraging people to see a doctor. Acne is a disease that you can manage, not cure. I've found consistent adapalene, then short contact therapy with benzoyl peroxide and sulphur. Just leaving them on for a few min before I gently cleanse really helps me ride that line of irritation/keeping clear. Keto everything else SIMPLE. I love Vanicream😁
A mild fragrance free face wash, Differin and Cerave cream are the only products I use at night. Maybe some heavier cream under eyes. And my skin feels great at the moment.
Iam sensitive and acne prone and iam just dealing with acne marks i have controlled my active acne. I totally go with her simplifying thing it works for the best
@@Kikisdiary. yes ofcourse so i use a basic cleanser twice a day something like cerave foaming one works just fine if that doesn't work for you try to use another one and i also double cleanse at nights cuz i wear sunscreen a lot. Twice a week i use bha cleanser at night and on those nights i just focus on hydrating my skin no actives whatsoever. I use 2 serums basically in the morning vitamin c, in the night niacinamide 5%+ ha 2%. In addition to that i jse clindamycine gel +benzoyl peroxide gel.(clindamycine on smaller acne and benzoyl peroxide on bigger ones) at nights when i use basic cleanser. SUNSCREEN IS A MUST , I reapply after every 2 hours. I also use trentinoin 0.04% gel for acne scars like thrice a week. Few more important things focus on hydrating ur skin and use your serums or moisturizers on wet skin always it makes a HUGE difference, keep ur pillowcases clean change them after every 2-3 days, disinfect ur phone and earphones, if u feel like something from ur diet is giving u acne try to cut it out. And go at ur pace try out products what works for me may not work for you i still get acne sometimes so try to understand it is a long road. If you still have any question after it feel free to ask me.
@@aanchalthakur3033 Thankyou so much 💖 anyway i tried niacinamide , salicylic , alpha Arbutin etc nothing works for me , i tend to break out more I thought it was just a skin purging but it wasn’t . I’m currently using neutrogena salicylic acid cleanser and it doesn’t work at all . None of the product suits me , i use tea tree oil and acne star at night followed by the minimalist moisturizer. My skin is doing really bad , idk what to use now . I’m thinking I’ll try cerave but in India I don’t think it’s available 🤔 followed by vitamin c I’ll give it a try hopefully it won’t break out 😩
@@Kikisdiary. yooo you r from India wait there is a cleanser called Cleanse me that is superb try that and ditch that tea tree oil it hurts more than help
@@Kikisdiary. and also try recast bha cleanser it si ahmazing it helps with acne scar too. Ditch every product u r using and try to calm ur skin first then start again
I'm very surprised she didn't mention applying moisturizer first, then applying differn! I highly recommend doing that, especially since you're just starting to use it. Otherwise, it's very drying! I recommend watching Dr Dray's explanation :)
I second this!!! When I started Differin I didn’t put moisturizer before and I was flaking by the second week. Watched Dr Dray’s video on differin and used that method and helped SO MUCH!!
Heyy. Im starting today. And I don’t have pimples or acne that much. I have Sebaceous filaments, blackheads and closed comedones. It is okay to use for that right?
For the people who have super sensitive skin who have always thought they have oily skin cuz their skin was always oily but felt dry to the point of your skin cracking when you get out of the shower and on top of that have acne prone sensitive skin where you get big oil pimples (don’t know the technical word lol) listen up. Two months ago I started using naturiums niacinamide serum and got hooked. So two weeks ago I bought the niacinamide gelee, the niacinamide retinol cream and the naturiums plant ceramide rich moisture cream. At night I take off my makeup with Simple makeup removing wipes, put on the naturiums niacinamide gelee and leave it on my dry skin for a few min then wash it off with a sonic brush, then put on the niacinamide serum, and the retinol cream. In the morning I do almost the same except obviously the makeup wipes and I add a little of the naturiums plant ceramide rich moisture cream on to my skin before my makeup. I have yet to have a big breakout since using it and my skin has honestly never looked and felt so good. It’s insane how much even my skin texture has changed. Worrying about that always seemed like a luxury cuz I was always worried about my massive breakouts! Naturium has honestly saved my skin!
i know you commented this a long time ago now, but just wanted to give a tip about makeup removal-- instead of makeup wipes, try using a cleansing balm (it turns into oil in your hands) on a dry face and it will dissolve and remove everything!! the benefits are way greater than wipes because wipes tug and push product into your pores, even if you're double cleansing and its environmentally friendly! take care xx
Guys, please be careful with using salicylic acid cleanser and differin at the same time. Various dermatologists suggest that these products cancel each other out - you should use differin at night and salicylic acid the next morning. You can use benzoyl peroxide with differin. And also please put moisturizer before differin, especially people with sensitive skin - it will really change your whole routine. You should use differin at least 3 times a week to see results. Wish everyone clear skin! 🌷
so genetically youre either a dry or an oily skin type. there's no ways around that. your skin condition can be anything though. what a lot of people experience is an impaired skin barrier function, whether that's just from poor diet (lack of essential fatty acids), too much exfoliation and actives, reactions to products, etc. repairing this barrier function will benefit you so much more than going straight into treating your skin that targets pigmentation. The order to work through is: 1. redness (barrier function) 2. Acne/blemishes (not all breakouts are caused by oil, can be caused by being too dry) 3. pigmentation 4. texture. the reason you do this is because if you start treating pigmentation before dealing with your barrier function you will create more problems. It can take actual years to fully repair a skin barrier. retinoids are definitely something that can mess up your skin. not everyone needs to be on one because you need to address other things first. It's a shame susan didn't mention azelaic acid too. especially for people who suffer rosacea sensitive, papulopustular rosacea even, skin this ingredient is fantastic at reducing sensitivity, strengthening the barrier, reducing breakouts by any p.acnes. One last tea bit, if you're having super sensitive skin, i'd highly recommend products from brands like cetaphil, QV, maybe cerave, because these are designed for genuine sensitive skin and they function as they say and they dont add extra skincare benefits to it, which can clash with everything else youre doing. There's so much to this topic. I'm happy susan said that she's not a skin therapist, I'm glad she said to separate these treatments and be super slow with it all. There's just so much about skin that you can't put in a 10 minute video. Just please educate yourself more before buying a whole lot of products to fix any skin need you have.
I have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. I have been using aha bha peeling solution of the ordinary from 3 months now. No doubt my skin gets better. But this product increase oil on my face. Due to this acne starts increases. Please suggest any solution.
she posted a while ago that she's working on formulations for different types of cleansers. i think there were 5 things she was testing out at that time
Hi! I have dry, acne prone skin as well and it is helpful for me to not wash my face in the morning. If you haven’t tried this, maybe give it a shot- i have noticed an improvement in my dryness :)
I also learned that there are little studies about differin for anti-aging. Differin is also great for acne though, but when it comes with anti-aging benefits, it has fewer studies about it.
@@carolina5429 I know you aren’t asking me...but the niacinamide gelee, niacinamide serum, retinol cream and plant based ceramide rich cream are amazing. The ceramide cream I only use before makeup cuz it’s super rich and you only need a little but the rest I use morning and night. And with the gelee I leave on for a few min on dry skin and wash off with my sonic cleanser. That line up is a game changer. I had horrible skin before finding this. I started by just adding the niacinamide serum into my normal routine and then added the rest in and swapped out all my old stuff at the same time two weeks ago and my skin has never ever looked like this!
Pillowcases are a HUGE culprit. I was finding my skin was clear when I went to sleep, and then terrible when I woke up, mostly on the side I sleep on. Turns out that pillowcases should be washed every couple days. I found this helps, but it may also be my fabric softener or detergent. I am trying a clear detergent, and will be doing without fabric softener on my pillowcases and I am pretty sure that's going to be what has been causing my problems. That and leaning cheek into my hand when I am at my desk. Big no no!
The JS Aftershow Treatment Cleanser is amazing & surprised this is the first I’ve ever heard you mention any JS product. I sometimes use this as a morning cleanse, but I’ve never seen anyone use it on wet skin. You should do a brand review.
I’ve tried niacinamide, salicylic acid , tea tree , green tea etc etc IT ALL TRIGGERS MY SKIN idk what is wrong with my skin . It tend to break out moreeee . I’m so stressed out my skin is super bad rn
@@Kikisdiary. i hope your skin journey is going well!!!! im on medication too right now as well as adapalene gel and i can see my skin changing for the better. the issue was that i have cystic hormonal acne that just wasnt being treated efficiently with tea tree or salicylic acid because my acne goes way deeper than what those products can penetrate on the first layer of skin. i would mostly contribute my medication to being my saving grace though.
PLUS eczema. I won! But srsly, I use Eau Thermale Avene everything, and my skin REALLY improved and stabilized. Other than the mask-acne and the occasion one and two stress pimples here and there i am pretty much acne free.
I used use differin gel but it doesn’t play well with other things at least not on my sensitive skin. I’ve bought your skin line(the pha, azealic acid, the retinol and vitamin c.) Can you come up with a skin regimen for sensitive skin using your line of skin care products? That would be helpful.
My sensitive acne prone skin hates differin. I used it like the package said- every night- did six months and it helped a little with acne but left me with Post Inflammatory Erythema
I’m a lover of drugstore products and have acne so I went out and bought the differen gel. Had a horrible allergic reaction where my eyelids swelled up and I couldn’t see anything. Kinda scary. I also am not allergic to anything, nor do I have sensitive skin. Be careful everyone who tried it! I use retin a and have no problems at all 🤷🏼♀️
Do you used a pea size amount? And you should not put retinoids near eyes such as eyelids or under eyes. You might wanna use a protectant or a barrier there such as vaseline
I thought salicylic acid was not to be used with any type of retinoid or Adapalene because it could render the actives ineffective. They can be used in the morning after but not before applying those actives. That said your skin is glowing and you're gorgeous.
no homie, bha is more like a oil solvent, it penetrate deep into your pores n bond with oil and water, so u can wash it out. and it doesnt conflict with retinoid, what conflict with retinoid though, is AHA. cauz it shred your surface layer of dead skin, which conflict with retinoid cauz it increase your skin turn over, which also shred your dead skin. AHA+ retinoid wouldnt render it ineffective but make ur face BURN!
@@gabgonzales9638 im not sure if you can answer my question but im just starting to use adapalene gel and i have been keeping my skincare routine simple with just a gentle cleanser and moisturizer but i have this salicylic cleanser from The Inkey List and have been scared to use it since i don't wanna overwhelm my skin. Am i able to use the salicylic wash right before the adapalene at night?
@@goodgriefff hi, you can actually. But if the gentle routine of yours is all good, I advised not to use the inkey list. Bha is drying too, as well as the adap. Stay on your routine if it makes your skin great. Hope it helps!
Hello I know this video is older but looking for suggestions. I am 48 I've been using tretinion cream 0.05% for over 2.5 yrs mainly for anti-aging but i just started wearing contacts (lol) and notice my skin doesn't appear smooth. I have been noticing alot more dryness and peeling here lately. I've also noticed tretinion hasn't helped with texture, enlarged pores and pigmentation. I'm considering switching to differin but wondering if I should put tretinion on hold or use differin and tretinion on alternating nights? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hi Susan, I been using your Natrium THE SUPERSTARS BUNDLE for 3 months. Your products are amazing. I am 45 in pre-menopause stage and I am getting acne and scars on my lower chin and neck area. I would say I have normal t zone oil skin but sensitive skin in the chin and neck area. I think it because the skin barrier damaged from the recuring acne. The retinol helps but dries it out because I have been afraid to use moisturizer that will clog and further cause break outs. ***Can you recommend a summer moisturizer? I use Etude house Surprise air finish sunblock as my main SPF. Thank you
Because I have sensitive highly-reactive skin, I recently bought your PHA Topical 12% Acid and your Niacinamide Cleansing Gelee. I would also like to introduce a gentle retinol into my skincare routine. Any recommendations?
@@laya1901 I looked at all her Retinols on the Naturium site, there's a 'notes from the lab' section on the site that tells you how to use, and who should use each product- they're not indicated as being best suited for sensitive skin. Maybe the ingredient (retinol) isn't for sensitive skin?
I have super sensitive skin and added her retinol cream in my line up and it actually works as a moisturizer. I also use her niacinamide serum , niacinamide gelee and before makeup only I use a lil of the plant base ceramide rich cream. Game changer!
I have sensitive and acne prone skin. I use the milk cleanser, toner and moisturiser from the Body Shop (Aloe range fragrance free and its gentle) with the differen gel (in my country a prescription is still required). And my skin looks and feel amazing. Exfoliating is still a struggle because I cant find a gentle one in my country. Love your videos 🤗.
It can help tho,,ut I think there's separate routine or medications for it. Watch dr shah (on tiktok) about it cause i saw it on one of his videos :)).
I was on adapalene 0.1% and rosex for about a month and a half along with a medicine and it helped clear up my skin tremendously but then I stopped the treatment (by treatment I mean the creams but I still did cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen) and it was fine for a few months but now I’m back at square one, I’m honestly desperate to find something that works
1. A good dermatologist 2. Isotretinoine in *THE RIGHT* dose (calculated by the pro derm). This is the only _something_ that really works. It will allow you to stop using "acne killer" creams and start with lovely skincare to enjoy your skin and keep it nice and young. 🧛🏻♀️💜
@@sebumpostmortem hiiii, wrote this comment 7 months ago and since then I’ve been on quite a journey with my skin and I’m happy to say I just found a routine that works and also, I stopped switching it around too much and let the products do their magic (also stopped picking at my skin which is GREAT), I still get a little pimple here and there but nothing compared to how it was when I wrote this comment !

I was just wondering about the differin soothing moisturizer which claims to be non comedogenic yet one of the ingredients in it is avacado oil... which is highly comedogenic.... how does that work?
So what about using products after the adapalene gel? I noticed you put moisturizer on your eyes after handling the retinoid. I even wash my hands afterward and still get dry eye lids whenever using a retinoid. 😢
