5 Ingredients You Need For Pores, Hyperpigmentation, Acne Marks 😏

[@alex_danceskpop]

I am ALWAYS struggling with hyperpigmentation so this is such a good informative video! I only wish the Paula's Choice products were more affordable.

[@shj7346]

There are just as/more effective products with the same ingredients you can enjoy.

[@carinaelizabethpaul9785]

I bought the ordinary products to start out and it was doing good. Until my skin got very dry from using glycolic acid soap from L'Oreal and dehydration not enough water and electric heat on high a bad mix caused dark spots to get darker and peel off like a scab. I believe it burned my skin.

Ugh, this is the thing I struggle with the most and am ALWAYS targeting in my skincare routines. I have combo-dehydrated skin, and it does nooooot bode well with any sort of hyperpigmentation, it takes so so long to heal. You guys always post such relevant content, and I'm happy that you gave us some less harsh alternatives to help h-p! I've noticed that when my skin is well-hydrated, and I'm exfoliating regularly (2-3 times a week) it always helps the most! I've been struggling more this winter cos the air is so cold, my dehydration is like, 200% worse so I'm constantly spritzing with mists all day xD I just implemented the goodal vit-c serum in my morning routine at your guys' rec and omg! I seriously am noticing a difference already after a week! : )

[@legendninja2023]

Whats your skin care routine?

[@Doggy5260]

Try good molecules discoloration serum!!! It's not drying, it's affordable, and when I use it is when I notice the biggest change in my hyperpigmentation personally. Especially with exfoliating as well. I have 2 extras on hand rn cause I love it so much. Morning and night and within a week I noticed my hyperpigmentation going away

[@bliplee]

@@legendninja2023 omg, it’s gonna be a lot to type here haha! For the most part i use the same 3-4 products at day and night with the exception of a couple serums switched out. Morning cleanse w/ Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp face wash. 2nd step Soo Good toner pads, followed by Wishtrend Quad boosting essence (my skin is really dehydrated so I have to pack on moisture/hydration) then I go in with my day serums, which would be the Wishtrend polyphenols in propolis serum + Goodall vit c serum. I usually do a light moisturizer that changes depending on the season and a sunscreen ~ Night time is mostly the same except I double cleanse , then instead of the Goodall vit c serum, I use the Krave GBR followed by a heavier moisturizer for winter. Right now I’m using the Laniege cica sleeping mask. I try to stay consistent with the same products and go ham on hydrating layers ! I usually spritz some sort of mist in between steps because everything evaporates from my skin in like 2 seconds lmao.

[@bliplee]

@@Doggy5260 omg!! I tried it back in the day before they reformulated it and tbh I didn’t notice a huge difference, but I loved the consistency and feel of it so much. at the time I was also super inconsistent with my routine so that’s probably why I didn’t notice much. I actually do have one in my backup skincare stash right now! I plan to use it when I’m all done with my Goodall vitamin c serum :) I love good molecules so much though, they really are a great brand!

thank you for the timestamps and prices in the description. for vitamin c i’ve been using the melano cc that hasn’t oxidized at all, and i’ve been storing it in my bathroom. i’ve also been using the facetheory 20 regena vitamin c serum. it’s a derivative of vitamin c, and it hasn’t oxidized either. a little goes a long way with the ft one. i use two drops. if i use 3 drops, it’s too oily. jumiso has their all day brightening and balancing serum which has sea buckthorn and ascorbic acid in it. it’s super gentle, and mine hasn’t oxidized either. it’s good for a beginner vitamin c or to use on days when your skin is sensitive.

[@sydneyjara7610]

This came at such a good timing. I’ve been watching your videos for 2 years now, and I’ve learned a lot, thanks to you. My hyperpigmentation, acne scars and pores have been acting crazy these past few weeks and I’m so happy that you made this video. Best timing, I’m so glad! Thank you so much, I absolutely love your channel ❤️

[@renataparker2824]

Well Niacinamide and licorice have been working wonders in lightening my hyperpigmentation Also rice fermented extracts are great I strongly believe in the power of plants The only acids I’ve been using are BHA and Gluconolactone (10% PHA) and that’s that Will rank up the use of my SA serum to 3x a week 1 week before my period to keep my pores as clear as possible to avoid unnecessary breakouts

[@kellyj.8548]

I started using Naturium Azaleic Acid. I found that my skin felt itchy afterward to the point I didn’t want to use it again. I watched a Naturium/Mixed Makeup video on KZbin discussing this product. Susan Yara said it does itch when you first start using the product and you just have to grin and bear it but, it will go away after more use. I don’t think she mentioned why it makes you itch. Thanks for all the info! I really love these products.

[@lavayuki]

I like using tranexamic acid, it's in quite a lot of my Japanese products like the Hada labo premium whitening range. I like the Face Theory Exaglow, and also use BoJ arbutin, niacinamide, Paulas choice azelaic acid booster and the glow recipe guava vitamin C to tackle pigmentation

I had a 15% azelaic acid proscription and I was told that if your skin is damp when you apply it can cause irritation and that it sometimes tingles but after a few days your skin will get use to it, I hope that helps someone else if the try azelaic acid

[@Finesto_]

If you're wondering why that is, it's cause if your skin is damp it sinks your products deeper into your skin then if it would be dry. Hence you can't use strong peelings on a damp face.

[@maucanread]

Omg! It’s good to know that it’s not just me who experienced tingling when I used the naturium azelaic acid.

[@valandicoundouris968]

You actually cant put your actives after the Paulas choice mask because it doesn't matter whether the mask is on your skin or not. It is the fact that the AHAs and BHAs have changed the structure of your skin and has made it more sensitive so actives can aggravate your skin. I got this from Lab Muffin. Also mandelic acid doesn't have a high molecular weight. It has a big molecule size. Weight is different to size

[@karlawade6711]

I live in Australia and it’s so annoying that we don’t get a lot of the Azelaic acid, tranexamic acid and alpha Arbutin products that you mentioned. Is it possible that you know alternative products that we should have in Australia, that we can use and that sells here ?

Real deal acne scars weren't addressed. Two topicals that help wirlth atrophic scarring are Rx .3% adapalene and 1% tazorac. Taz is a beast so start low and work up to 1%. There are studies on both.

Ah yes, we only focused on hyperpigmentation caused by acne and overproduction of melanin! Thanks for the info on atrophic scarring! 😁

[@kae2678]

[@suzannelove]

How's all of that compared to retin-a

[@ajae...]

@@suzannelove I think it's probably comparable depending on the strength. You'll have to check the articles and studies. In my personal experience the taz works wonders. Retin A makes my face redder, and I'm Fitzpatrick 5. I'm just now starting the adapalene.3% (I've had it for a while, but my skin keeps going bonkers for other reasons [hyaluronic acid] so I haven't kept it up.) I think the adapalene atrophic scar studies were done on Fitzpatrick 3 and 4, so that bodes well for all skintones. I chose adapalene this time because it's cheaper than taz with goodrx, but I think I'll go back to taz when I'm done with it. I believe adapalene is most effective when used twice daily or with benzoyl peroxide, which is a lot for my skin.
