Hi. I have a seven year old daughter with closed comedonal acne. So I would wash her face in the morning and at night with the cleanser and then mix the last two products and let her sleep with them on in the night? Could you give me a brand example of these products please?
@@shavonnehenchell7731 I would not mix. Definitely go for a Salicylic Acid and id be careful also on using 2 and 3 for children, most people cant really answer if its long term safe for a literal child.
@@shavonnehenchell7731I would not recommend using retinoid for your child because it can destroy your child’s skin barrier and is not used for 12 year olds or below
cerave SA cleanser for normal to oily skin, differin gel adapalene, ordinary azelaic acid. adapalene takes 12 weeks to see results so be patient, and it can be drying and burning (pain). You should start with only azelaic acid (only takes 2 weeks to see results and not as drying), and if that isnt enough then go for adapalene, but remember to use moisturizer. and sunscreen@@shavonnehenchell7731
Congrats on 2M subscribers! I've been watching you for 3 years and seeing your channel grow has been so exciting! Thank you for helping democratize dermatological education and making it mor accessible for all. Keep up the amazing work.
Azelaic acid is my favorite. It’s cleared up my skin SO much. SA worked for my skin but only cleared it so much, I feel like it never cleared my deeper congestion like AA does. Also if you’re using acids. Don’t over use them. I saw a comment on here saying it ruined their skin, I’m guessing they over used them or used too high of percentages for their skin. That will over exfoliate your skin and cause break outs from irritation. A lot of people use tretinoin and AA together and it works great. You just have to find what works for your skin. I use Paula’s choice AA but it is quite pricey for a lot of people. I want to find a different AA that’s not as expensive but I’m scared to try anything else. I also really like that it was the .5 of SA and licorice root in it. I have thought of trying a higher percentage of AA. I also use Naturiums glycolic acid resurfacing 10% and omg it’s so amazing. I wake up with beautiful skin the next day. If your skin isn’t used to acids, like when mine was used to them I used to put a light lotion on first (cerave daily lotion) and then I’d put on whatever strong acid I had. Eventually I didn’t have to do that. Anyway these are just some tips I thought I’d share.
@@UncleCharlie111x2 I liked your comment, Im happy too for her succes but I replied with my wonder. Where I live Dermatologists don't have RU-vid channels to cater for , since they don't have time 🤷🏻. She might reply here, who knows?
Great timing Dr Dray! This video speaks to me. Summer heat and humidity make me very oily and closed-comedone prone. The struggle is real! What have helped: eat whole foods, up my bentonite clay mask to 3-4x/wk, Benzoyl Peroxide wash and Adapalene gel, lightweight gel moisturizer and SPF. (strange...I haven't been able to tolerate SA cleanser around my nasal folds and mouth area).
thanks alotttt for buying the mic! so now i can hear your beautiful voice clearly! since i love to listen to your explanation so much especially about tretinoin, xoxo.
I just started using salicylic acid gel cleanser 5 days ago. It was from a Korean brand called Skinfood. I wasn't expecting a lot from it since it was just a facial wash but I was so surprised at how it helped dry out my cystic acne, loosened closed comedones and "fungal acne". Unfortunately, I have all three as I live in a hot, humid, climate. So yes, salicylic acid face wash can work wonders.
Andrea, congratulations on the 2 million subscribers, you deserve even more! Thank you so so so much for all you do. I had acne for over 15 years, then a few years ago, I discovered your channel and did some of the basics you're always talking about -- no makeup, no overwashing, using gentle cleansers, fragrance-free moisturizers, and sunscreens... my skin is noticeably better. The best part? My confidence is higher. You educating me on skincare has improved my quality of life.

Omg THANKYOU for this video! I randomly get little bumps on my forehead that are just the color of my skin. Super tiny and only noticeable when I angle my forehead a certain way under a light. I could not figure out what they were with everything I was googling. It was driving me crazy! So thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Thank you SO much for the education you provide. I’ve gone to Dermatologists my entire life for multiple issues & I’m only now seeing results thanks to your education!
Congratulations Dr. Dray on 2 million!🎉 Thank you for all the wonderful, educational video’s and showing us, our best skin does not have to cost a fortune. All the best for the future. 😊
Congratulations Doctor Andrea for the 2 million subscribers 😊❤. I love cerave 2% salicylic acid (blemish control) twice a day it's wonderful for my combination skin 😊. Your advices and hacks always work Doctor Andrea thank you so much for the insight you give to us ❤.
Salicylic acid and benzoyle peroxide destroyed my skin and made my acne worse as well as painful. Glycolic acid is also to harsh for daily use. Niacinamide and hormonal birth control have had the best results. I literally tried everything. I even went to dermatologists for years and spent tons of money on Accutane, chemical peels, and many other treatments that gave me no relief.
@@Sam-or6dy The ordinary serum did wonders for me. It was the first niacinamide product I tried. It worked so well and was so affordable I haven't tried anything else.
Congrats on 2 million followers! I was wondering if you could do a deep dive video about contact allergies. You talk a lot about common allergens, cross-reactions, etc., but could you explain what contact allergies are (like, what is going on in the skin?), what cross-reactions are, whether contact allergies are ever connected to food allergies or seasonal allergies, etc.? It sounds like some ingredients are “sensitizing”-could you explain what that means and whether/how it relates to contact allergies?
Believe me or not. But for me cutting out pasta and exofoliate 3x times a week with salicylic acid and eat brocolli everyday for a month made it all go away. My little sister had this problem too and I told her to cut it out and it work. For me pasta was the high carb , maybe you eat another high carb regularly. You can test yourself by eating a high carb like pasta 4 day after each other, if the CC increase or more acne come, that my be the reason.
But dont use salicylic acid cleanser or spot treatment if you have damaged skin barrier. Products should not sting or hurt when you apply on face. If it does you have a damage skin barrier and should focus on healing it first.
I don’t usually comment on videos but this time I just had to! You mentioned the exact problem with my skin, the exact solutions and it was so clear and understandable!! Thank you so much, you’re a saviour 🙏🏽❤️
2m! 💯👏 and love the new microphone/camera set up, quality is so clear ! How about a pesky whitehead in between my shoulders, drives me nuts, im sure my hair products etc make it worse , and I do have my husband express it every so often. It's small but 🤢 I hate it!
Great to know what can be used together and what cannot. Thanks for making this information available to all of us. 2M ! I can see why, Dr. Dray. Congratulations !
I took your advice, Dr. Dray, and my blackheads are getting better. It is taking time, and I need to be patient, but it's better. I am using Neutrogena's Stubborn Blackheads product. I am going into my second tube.
I have bangs so that traps oil and sweat I use to get this acne as a teenager, I still get this acne but it's not as bad. I use CeraVe face wash and lotion and Heritage Rose water spray and drink lots of water and I don't pick at my skin.
Happy Tuesday Dr. Dray. I was so excited to see 2M I forgot to ask my question. Are there any implications with using these products during puberty? I’m sure there are others with teenagers that may have the same question.
Dr Dray congratulations for 2 million followers! You are a very bright, intelligent young woman! Thank You for all your education you have given all of us!! Your the best doc out there!❤
Congratulations on 2 million 💖 I have a question; I’ve been using salicylic acid for 1/5 month, I haven’t seen any results yet but i recently noticed there are scars on my skin. Is it possible that salicylic acid is causing that?
you are literallllly the best. been subscribed to you for so long and your videos genuinely bring just as much happiness as important insightful information. Dr dray >>>>
Thank you you have been a god send to me. I have teenagers all with different skin conditions. You help me incredibly with my son’s severe eczema and he also had quite bad cystic acne. We got prescription for the acne and eczema but I incorporated your recommendation too. My daughter has those little whiteheads all over her forehead that this video talks of. Apart from that she has beautiful skin. I will try the recommendation you made as I did for my sons skin which has vastly improved. Thank you very much and congratulations on 2 million subscribers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏴
Congratulations on reaching 2 million subscribers!!! 🎉🎊🎉 We're so proud of you! I am plagued by these on my chin. I have yet to find a product that really make a difference so I'm excited for this video. I really appreciate these tips. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💟
@1kelbrat1 I don't need to build up I've used many strengths of retinol with no problems but yeah I have a dermatologist appointment and I'm hoping to get a prescription
I went to a salon on recently and had a facial. The esthetician said to change products every 3-6 months because the skin gets accustomed to the ingredients and they don’t work as well. Ever heard of that?
Congratulations on hitting 2 million subscribers! I’ve been here since the very beginning and look forward to enjoying more of your videos in the future. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just noticed you now have 2 million subscribers, Andrea ! That's fantastic....congratulations !! It's no wonder, tho. You do a terrific job making videos. They are interesting to watch along w/being educational & so helpful. Thank you for all you do .
during the mask epidemic i developed a few of these (one on my nose and one near the top of the mask under my eye) which are both present today although i've tried treating with differin with not much result 😷
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n Congrats on the 2 Million n u Truly Deserve it💐🎉n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Monday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Insightful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
For 5 years I thought I had closed comedones and nothing worked. I was even diagnosed with that by a dermatologist and she prescribed salycilic acid and uriage 3regul moisturizer. But turns out that I have fungal acne. I didn't realise what itchy meant. Even though it was itchy, I thought that was normal. Sometimes your body itches, you scratch it and that's it. The itchiness on my face was quite subtle for me to understand this symptom. 😅
