SKIN CARE TIPS- Treating ACNE
Listed below are a couple of useful hints to kind out your zits earlier than seeing a dermatologist. These are all science primarily based medical therapies that may assist 90% of zits susceptible sufferers. Do not forget that each pores and skin is exclusive, and the reason for zits is multifactorial including- oily pores and skin, blackheads, congested pores and skin, hormonal, weight loss plan associated, stress associated, utilizing pore clogging make ups, drugs and numerous different elements. Therefore therapies ideally ought to be tailor-made for every particular person. I recommend making an attempt the following tips for no less than 6 to eight weeks earlier than seeing a dermatologist- the exception is you probably have cystic zits or scarring zits. Stopping zits scarring is so much simpler than treating zits scars. So listed here are my ideas earlier than seeing a medical dermatologist-
1. Your product evaluate. Use merchandise that comprise the disclaimer ‘non- comedogenic’. This is applicable to all skincare merchandise together with moisturisers, sunscreen, actives, and make up. Use mineral and never an oil primarily based basis. Let your pores and skin breathe 2 days per week. Your pores will thanks for it.
2. Weight loss program changes- see my web site for weight loss plan hints and down load the zits weight loss plan information within the sources part. When you flare up with a meals group- keep away from it. Clearly…
3. Exfoliate- both manually twice to a few occasions per week or with an AHA cream. Neostrata 10-15 a couple of nights per week may help. Watch out if you’re utilizing a retinoid.
4. Peels- BHA or salicylic acid peels are best- AHAs may also assist.
5. Gentle treatment- Blue and purple mild, medical units together with Kleresca, IPL and even quaint 20 yr previous Omnilux may help. Newer LEDs are higher than Omnilux as they incorporate 2 blue wavelengths reasonably than previous era Omlilux Blue
6. Carbon Spectra laser peels- new video out quickly on this therapy, helps with early zits scars. Among the best methods to deal with acne- this targets carbon inside the oil gland- protected, efficient with the added bonus of pores and skin rejuvenation, all with NO downtime. That is why its referred to as the Hollywood Peel.
7. Nutritional vitamins and tea tree oil- zinc sulfate double dose, and tea tree oil can cut back zits. Confirmed in lots of scientific journals.
8. Retinoids and retinol- begin off with over-the-counter retinol then progress to Adapelene or first era tretinoin. Tazorac is a 3rd era retinoid, strongest. With energy comes duty, so watch out with this. I’ve performed Three movies on the best way to incorporate retinoids into your skincare. 30 minutes of skincare ideas and skincare routines.
If all else fails please see a MEDICAL dermatologist for additional administration. Disclaimer- I’m a laser and surgical dermatologist, this implies I don’t deal with zits – simply zits scarring and different types of procedural work.The exception is you probably have PIE and zits and require laser therapy. Medical dermatologist can examine and prescribe you medicine. I don’t prescribe medicine for zits. Why? As a result of my work load to too excessive with procedural instances, so in the perfect security of the affected person, monitoring by a medical dermatologist is the perfect apply. When you do have zits and zits scarring, I’ll handle your scar revision and place you on a programme to minimise your scars. On the identical time I’ll refer you to a medical dermatologist for zits administration. Alternatively go to The Fiori Institute – therapist educated on my own to handle zits and pores and skin considerations with none prescription drugs.

Awesome video, appreciate it thx
Is tea tree oil good for sensitive, dry and acne prone skin? And I have been using 200mg dose of zinc sulphate. My age is 20. How often should I take it? Is this dose too high for me?
Differin in India is Rs. 300 that's approximately $5/-
Hi Dr. Lim, I'm curious how sunscreen alters the effectiveness of sunlight on reducing your acne. I assume it makes the light less effective? Not that I would skip sunscreen for this, just wondering. Thanks!
Awesome video, very Educative, u Rock!
I have started taking topimax and now got black heads on my jaws
Bha , most of LRP, Acne.org 10% and maaany more break me out like crazy… mineral powders often same… I’ve heard that powders (even without talc) because of smaller molecules that go deeper into the skin than liquid makeup…obviously probably depends what product but can it be true? Some derms ask to avoid powders (maybe because of talc etc) x
I plan on using the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash as my at home chemical peel. Can you please suggest as to when or how many times I should use it?
Please make the video about female adult hormonal acne!
I went to see a dermatologist once for my acne, the first thing she said was 'you should take roaccutane'. THE FIRST BLOODY THING! And she got mad when I said I didn't want to try it.
Do you like the Neutrogena LED mask?
Good info! Benzol peroxide facewash once a day worked for me…..but no makeup ….dove soap….and nivea cream …..
i have a lot of bad cystic acne on my chin. I drink milk once-twice every month and eat cheese 4x a week. I tried not eating dairy for a year and nothing happened. So i decided to eat cheese again because it makes me happy and if I have to suffer with awful acne, at least I can eat cheese lol the food thing doesn’t affect everyone. Sometimes it is just hormonal, like in my case!
Does glycolic acid toner works as chemical peal?
Hello Dr. David my daughter have pimples all over her porehead nose chin and face nearly in her nose. she is only 13 years old. it is okay for her to use differin 0.1% ?.is there any skin care acne routine you can advise for her. please reply doc thank you
What do you think about vitamin D in aiding acne prone skin? I have seen some studies regarding this topic, but I can't really seem to make my mind. I am a pharmacist and I see my fair share of prescriptions from dermatologists. I have my training, my passionate pursuit of all things "let's have a healthy skin" related, but I still find many patients reluctant to go to a doctor, stoping in the pharmacy and would like your input on this instance.
Hi Dr. Lim, thank you for your informative tips. I have oily skin with mostly whitehead pimples and red acne scars. How often should I use AHA or BHA in this case? I find that if I use them every day, my skin can easily turn red and feel dehydrated.
My appointment is going to be in 8 months…So I'll have loads of time to try your tips, thank you so much!
Dr Davin what do you think about apple cider vinegar used as facial toner? Either mixed with some rose water or something else or used straight on the skin. That'd be great if you could make a video about it, if you think it's interesting. Many thanks
I was on Accutane as a teen. It helped with the ance a bit, but I had to stop because my liver levels were starting to get wonky. It's definitely something I wouldn't want my own children on. It took my skin over a year to stop feeling extremely dry all the time.
Dr what drugstore products do you recommend plz
Differin gel is $10.89 at Target in the US right now. For 15grams.
I thought physical exfoliants are bad and it's all just a marketing gimick. Your skin naturally exfoliates itself and exfoliating it manually damages the skin. Uhhh I'm confused I'm always hearing conflicting skincare advice even from different dermatologists.
I'm a new sub here. Thanks
How do you treat female hormonal acne?
Eagerly waiting for the adult jawline hormonal acne care.. I had a flawless skin before but the breakouts loosed my self esteem ☹️☹️
Hi, do you have a video available for how to safely treat hormonal acne whilst pregnant or breastfeeding?
Dr Davin ,Refined sugar isn’t good for skin but how about honey ?
What do dermatologists think of Phisohex face wash? Used to only be available at chemists but you can get it from coles now as well.
Is it damaging to skin at all or is it okay??
thanks
Great! Thank you for making this video
Another truth bomb. Love it.
Hi doctor my dermatologist gave me this tablet and they have ancewar and retino gel which I have to mix 1:1
omg acne.org prices are insane i didn't know that benzoyl peroxide prescription were that inexpensive smh
