Can I just say I LOVE YALL. I've been using Differin Gel for 7 weeks now to treat my post acne hyperpigmentation and have been applying sunscreen during the day. My face has transformed so much its glowy and spots are fading slowly but surely. These videos are helpful and are confirmation to continue the routine I have with patience! Thank you!!!!! FYI: The sandwich method for the retinol & moisturizer you guys mentioned in another video is the BEST.
Same here! Been using differin for 3 months at night, CeraV pm cream, morning mild cleanser AlPha Arbutin ,then moisturizing sun screen in the morning and I never thought I would see myself with clear skin !!!
Using many "great" products to no avail over the years has made me circumspect about every product. You are saying that this video is "confirmation to continue the routine I have with patience". It means you still require some patience to see results. Am just trying to read between the lines here, since sometimes many people (including me) are trying to tell themselves that they see results when there are hardly any.
Did it get worse before it got better when you first started using it? I have it but i tried to during my worst breakout ever late last year and it felt like it was getting worse than it already was so now im afraid to use it :(
@@flxwercxrpse1871 Usually when I have started products my skin would purge. With the retinol I did have breakouts in the beginning and still breakout here and there but not as much as I use to. I think that’s bc I started using it only 3x a week @night then progressed to 4x a week. At night I cleanse, moisturize, retinol, moisturize. During the day I just cleanse, moisturize, and sunscreen. I’ve only been using it for 7 weeks and it takes about 12 to see results so I can’t say too much but maybe you can try again and just stay the course and keep your routine simple(I have trouble staying w/ 1 routine lol so I’m really trying bc it’s been recommended by so many). Hope this helps!
@@mrsnet6654 😭😭😭 how i wish i knew how to prevent scarring 😭😭💀 now i have them 😭 and I can't stop thinking of it 24/7 my confidence,self steem is destroyed i don't even want to go outside with this skin 😅💀
There are derms and doctors who specialize in hair and hair loss: Derms - Dr Ben Behnam, Dr. Sharon Wong; Trichologists - Dr William Gaunitz, Dr Nina Ross; the hair loss show (Dr Vikram Jayaprakash and Dr Russell Knudsen)
Have to say that topical retinoid products seem to be made to pry customers off their money without delivering any benefits or very little benefits. In all of my years of using retinol creams - 0.5 %, 0.25 % and 0.1%, I have not noticed an iota of difference in my skin texture.
@@aditbhiday I started off with 0.5% The Ordinary retinol and after 3 months went to 1% and now I'm using the Olay Retinol 24 ...I see a huge difference. I also use Vitamin C during the day ...so maybe it's a combination
@@aditbhiday well, retinol needs to be converted twice before it turns into retinoic acid on the skin. That's why it takes much longer than adapalene and tretinoin that don't need to be converted to work. Formulation and packaging also matter. Since retinol is light-sensitive, you want to buy a retinol product that is packaged in a tube, and not in a glass dropper bottle. Also, no matter how high the concentration of the retinol is, if the formulation sucks, it'll take even much longer to see results. In the worst scenario, you won't see results at all. This is why i prefer adapalene. It is not light-sensitive, much cheaper and works much faster.
I have heard Dr Shah talk about Venn diagrams a lot since it makes things more organized and easier to understand. Please go ahead and explain us we are going to support you!
This is the only truly helpful video on treating acne scars that I've come across. Thank you guys!!! Especially for the Venn diagram!!! It's going to save us a lot of effort and time💖💖💖
I would LOVE to see a video on pregnancy skin care! Acne, dry skin, all that good stuff that can come with those hormone changes that come with pregnancy!
I care about the venn diagram!! ❤️ I 100% rewinded the video several times to try and capture all of the info when it first popped up super quick lol. So thank you for adding the complete diagram later for us to screenshot! Suggestion, maybe every time you guys have a chart or diagram you can also post it on the community tab the same day you post the video? :) Also thank you for this video! I’m going to commit to staying consistent with the Scar gel/ sheets for my hypertrophic scars
Please do a video with your favorite eye cream/ treatments. Not just for puffy eyes and dark circles but also for fine lines. I feel like the only eye creams I find are for puffy eyes/dark circles and I don't have either. Thanks you guys! Love your videos!
Coming from a culture of "you're a dude, that's nothing to worry about/ skincare is for girls" I treated my acne and skin problems way too late. From my teenage years I always had intense and numerous acne, concentrated especially on my cheek area. And I have them in the worst places too like the back of my head and even my back (though I'm not sure if they have different names). I had allergies and only got treated for those, and my parents only realised that my acne was a big problem in 2019/20 when my cheeks were super swollen and red with white blobs of disgusting-ness. I never really cared either but at that point they were causing severe discomfort to me. Then I finally saw a dermatologist who seemed to solve most of my problems. I was happy! But you know what happened in 2020. Yes. Covid and lockdowns. So I couldn't even meet the doctor again. I was 18 when I got the proper treatment, I'm now 21. Most of my problems are now gone but I still always have some pimples, though they aren't as bad anymore. But I have quite a bit of scarring, deep ones too. So I'll probably see a good skin doctor again to treat it. I'm really happy that an informative and trustworthy video is here!
For my atrophic scars, I underwent 2 sessions of chemical peels, 2 sessions of microneedling, 5 sessions of fraxel and 4 sessions of subcision. My scars improved somehow. I just restored my skin barrier because I had dermatitis because of the weather. So now I'm on adapalene, twice a week, alternate with glycolic acid toner. Like differin in one night, rest the next day; glycolic toner; then rest then differin... so on. By the way, I developed atrophic scars when I went crazy with exfoliation and I had a massive irritation back in 2020.
Great presentation. I've had acne since I was a teenager and I can tell you that I have tried so many treatments but you really made the recommendations more obtainable. Unfortunately, it's not so much the expense of the treatments but so many dermatologists have their own line of care and really want to see you products. I just want a treatment that will work.
While getting my yearly skin check by a dermatologist, I am so glad I mentioned to him that wearing my mask was causing me to break out more than normal. I started to use an Azelaic Foam and WOW! It almost seemed like magic and my blackheads even look better. It blew me away how much better my skin looks.
Best advice is to ask your doctor since your skin is sensitive right now and possibly more likely to scar. Hope you were able to come up with a routine.
Acne scars are the bane of my life. I wish PIH didn’t exist, that pimples just disappeared and left nothing behind. I use Faded topicals and Paulas choice Azelaic acid at the moment. I also use vitamin C serums. I plan on trying Differin. For me it’s mostly PIH
Hello Doctors. I thank you for mentioning we have our own natural oils. I use to not like that I have oily facial skin when I was younger. I learned over the years to embrace my oils and i’m 55 years of age. My skin looks great!! I get compliments as well.😀😁
I had deep microneedling (1.5 - 2 mm) at a medspa, performed by a nurse, but ended up with new scarring from the procedure, so it's not risk-free unfortunately.
In my case my problem is I don’t have chronic acne but I do break out once or twice a month and it leaves marks! So how can I treat acne when I don’t have it? I only have it every once in a while one or two pimples that leave marks easily and scarring. Should I use retin a even tho I don’t have that many pimples or breakouts? How can I prevent pimples when I don’t have active acne? Retin a is too strong I don’t think I need it.What do u guys think?
Quick question! For the topicals treatment, do you think it would be okay to use with the same routine as glycolic acid? Also, how often do you recommend to use for acne prone skin.
But they’re destroying their skin in the long run 🤦🏾♀️ Don’t worry you’ll age wonderful with your routine. While they age like a wet old Irish spring bar of soap 😂
I just stopped watching youtuber influencers talking about skin care, u guys are professionals and give us the theory and tips for treatment, thanks for the info! U rock!!
I use the Inkeylist salicylic acid cleanser and ole henrikson vitamin c truth serum and my skin has cleared up so much compared to what it was. I barely breakout anymore and acne scars are going away
“No ones going to care about our acne chart” I do!! 😅 but on a real note this was a great video and your editor is doing a fantastic job 😂👏🏻 Dr Shah’s lasers were hilarious.
I always love the videos. Re: the editing - I'd prefer it if the doctors weren't grayed out when the graphic rolls in. Drop down the bullets, play with the color and keep their Dewey faces clear. jmo for what it's worth.
The editing kills me😂 love that it is informative and fun. Dr. Shah, the venn diagram gave me chills😂 My inner nerd got pumped with the content breakdown and organization.
I personally found that cutting down on spicy food helped my “acne” a lot! I don’t think I had acne to begin with anyway but Ive suffered with constant spots and hyperpigmentation for 10 plus years. Now that ive cut down on spicy food I’m seeing a difference and my scars are slowly but naturally fading. I hope this helps someone.
I tried the Faded cream by Topicals on my hyperpigmentation on insect bite allergies (I have flea bites from cats and they all turned black after healing) it helped so much and only in 1 month! Normally it would take 8-10 months before these spots fade on my skin but Faded made it possible in a month. Really works.
The best thing I ever did was seek professional help for my acne from a dermatologist 🕺🏽✨. Love watching your videos! It’s like I have 3 dermatologists 😂.
@@MoniqueXSM do your insurance cover it Or did you pay out of pocket? I want to visit a dermatologist but don’t know how much it will be since I don’t have insurance 🙁
Hey @@dee1921, best to check with your insurance provider on what exactly your policy covers. My insurance doesn’t cover the procedures but does cover the prescription medications. Everyone’s insurance is set up differently though.
I actually have good news in hypopigmentation. I had many cause I picked my scars, well they're tiny but they looked very obvious. They're now gone from using hydroquinone, not completely gone, but I'm defo seeing the difference in just about a month. So yeahh
I truly need to thank you guys for literally changing my life, I have suffered from acne, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, atrophic acne scars, and have always been worried for anti aging, but I never had the knowledge, nor the motivation, to use a skincare routine that was gonna address my specific problems or that i felt excited to keep the consistency of using, but almost 5 to 6 months ago I discovered you, doctor Youn, and doctor Dre, and with your help, I got to curate my own personal, very simple, and fun, skincare routine that I love and enjoy, I can say that right now my acne and hyperpigmentation are almost completely gone, I am a new person, I feel more beautiful and so confident, please, keep up your excellent work, you really are making the difference here with your amazing, educational and entertaining content. I just wanted to make you know the impact you've had in my live and how grateful I am. Ps. I loved your chart and screen shot it!!!
@@drewmarks5249 Wow thank you for asking, I live in Colombia, so I don’t always get to access the same products they mention, but i think I’ve managed to find very good equivalents, that contain the actives that the doctors recommend: In the morning 1. I cleanse my face with Dove bar 2. I use The ordinary caffeine solution for eye contour 3. La Roche posay vitamin C serum 4. Cerave facial moisturizing lotion (which contains niacinamide, ceramides and HA) 5. ISDIN tinted sunscreen 50 spf At night 1. I cleanse again with Dove bar 2. I put on Sesderma vitamin C eye contour cream 3. The Cerave moisturizer lotion again 4. Betarretín gel (tretinoin 0,025%) And finally, once a week, I use the Mary Kay charcoal mask that also contains salicylic acid for chemical exfoliation I have kept this for almost 10 months now, and I must say that keeping a skin care routine is one of the best decisions I’ve made for self care ever!
PIH has always been a real struggle for me! Especially with the wearing of masks now. I dont even touch, poke, pinch my acnes yet they always leave a scar 😭 Thank you Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah! ❤
Im so glad that you guys talk about acne scars. I'm 22 years old , I have acne since 2009. I don't know how I remove my acne and also acne scars. I hope this gonna help me a lot. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
Wow. The way you guys present practical and applicable information so clearly, honestly, thoroughly, and without bias or prejudice…this is the most equipped I’ve ever felt tackling my skin health. Thank you!!! 🙏 💪 😊
I have had chemical peels, dermabrasion and laser. It helped a little but I still have a lot of scars, so my question is: how do you know you have reached your peak when it comes to healing your skin? I lost hope that I will ever have a nice skin texture since I had acne since 10 and until my 20´s... it really gets to your self esteem. Also this was very helpful thank you!
Gospel of Jesus Christ We are saved by grace through faith. Not by works. The rapture is close. Please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Appreciate the info. I've had true acne scars since i was 18, looks to be more atrophic tried lots of diff products. Going to talk to a dermatologist once I find a reputable one in my area. I dont break out that often. I was looking at Mederma but exhausted with buying so many products
Love you guys. I’m so appreciative to your page. My skincare routine is so much better because of you two. The comments I’ve received lately is definitely because I trust your advice and most certainly more patient with myself and caring for my skin. My confidence has so improved. Thank you. Love from a BIG fan of you from the UK 🇬🇧 and believe me I tell everyone about Doctorly xx
Please make more videos on acne scars 😊 maybe review more acne peels and how to use both a retinoid and a chemical peel in your routine. What to avoid in your routine while using both of these treatments. Thank you for your videos! You guys are awesome 😎
It takes time to treat acne scars.. but the right products will give u great skin all throughout the years. My husband has acne scars and acne prone skin. He is consistently using the Banish Kit 2.0 and that helped him have good skin, less maintenance up to now. No need for expensive treatments or skincare
Can you (pretty) PLEASE make a video on how to convince a guy that a skincare routine-even the bare minimum of cleansing, moisturizing, and SPF-is necessary? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 my boyfriend refuses to wear sunscreen, doesn’t believe it’s important, and thinks skincare is pointless. Idk how to convince him otherwise and I think he would benefit from hearing from male experts on the topic. Would love a basic ‘here’s why skincare is important’ video for short/long-term reasons.
I have several hypertrophic acne scars and had no idea they were even a thing until I got my acne under control. It's like having acne still, but without the pain and redness. Because of that, I'm always terrified that my acne will come back in those same spots since the places that scarred were my "hot spots" (no idea if that is a term, but it seems to describe what my skin always did). I absolutely loved your acne chart and the venn diagram was fantastic! Actually, the chart really helped me assess my skincare routine and throw out anything that truly wasn't helping my acne, and because of that I've finally got it under control! Your videos are truly helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with us! 😃
I have hypertrophic acne scars too, and I always get so frustrated because most videos only talk about atrophied scars! Love these guys for including us!
OMG!!! I just had a pathology exam today!!!! And skin was one of the tissues that we had to know (granulation tissue, inflamation, inflamatory cells...)....im studying to be a vet but we also have to know all of this stuff.. Beijos de Portugal!!!🇵🇹😘🥰
You’re still so young - please try to see a derm to address these issues now. Your collagen growth decreases as you get older which makes it difficult to deal with true scars.
Hi, just wanted to drop in and say that I've been binge watching the skincare playlist and I absolutely love your content, its so helpful plus SO entertaining.. You're both hilarious :') Video request-How to take care of skin systemically, as in diet, supplements, water intake etc Love from India!
See I’ve been using mederma for months now on a burn scar on my lip I don’t know how to get rid of the scar it’s veryyyy noticeable any product recommendations?
Please cover other body parts dermatologist specialize on besides the face. My fingernails have lifted from the nail bed. How can I get the nails to reattach to the nailbed?
Your channel is by far the most helpful and genuine skincare channel I have ever come across. Thank you both SO MUCH for your time and effort into making these videos. I know you guys always say you don’t do this to grow your business, but your professional and thoughtful tips make me want to fly and come see you. Really appreciate you both!!!
Thanks for the tips! I had adult acne. Thanks dad for passing it on 😃 Face and upper back! The scarring is not too bad but it helps that my eye sight is not perfect now I am over 40! Plus I think you get a bit kinder to yourself as you mature 😃 Guys you don't have to look perfect!
