7 Reasons You NEED An Alpha Hydroxy Acid In Your Routine! | The Budget Dermatologist

[@rayradiance666]

I use Am Lactin rapid relief every night as retinoids are too sensitive for me and it works well

[@amandastraight8640]

I watch way to many of these videos, I buy so many recommended products and get overwhelmed on how to incorporate them in my routine. It gets very frustrating to me and definitely brings out my anxiety. I wish instead of showing us products that you would give multiple examples of products that can be used in the same routine like for acne or sensitive skin and so on

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Love this idea

[@dianedynon9732]

I totally agree, I also have bought a ton of recommend products that clam to be must haves from different u tubers, and I’m also overwhelmed, and frustrated, on how I could possibly use all the products I’ve purchased. L

[@sandrabirch6583]

@@dianedynon9732 Me too ,..my skin actually looks worse now than when I started using recommended products months ago :/

[@susanmeyerson-flores8597]

Me too, it's frustrating. When I think I have it down, the doctor or whoever decides to like another product. Ughhhh

[@susanmeyerson-flores8597]

I’m a big fan of AHA’s and I couldn’t get enough of them. I’m using several types and brands. Pixi Glow Tonic, the Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, the Ordinary AHA 30% and BHA 2%(amazing, amazing product) Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant, Alpha Skin Care Enhanced Renewal Cream 12% Glycolic AHA and the Alpha Skin Care Intensive Renewal Serum 14% AHA.

[@megaliberty]

Sometimes KZbin makes no sense to me. I posted a perfectly innocent comment about my love of glycolic acid, and the post keeps getting removed. There was no profanity or disrespectful language. I listed three brands that I recommend, and mentioned that I also microneedle. So who did I offend?

[@soniahill1130]

Neostrata glycolic acid smoothing cream. Started with the 5% which was all that was available at the time when i started using it in 1993. When they added the 10% product, i switched to that. Now i alternate neostrata with my retinol product nightly. I always get compliments on my “glowing skin” at 63! Love your channel and your enthusiasm! Thank you!

When you have mild eczema and are forever stuck in the "beginner" category. 😫 I've been using the La Roche-Posey Effaclar Clarifying Solution as my morning toner before applying my Cerave vitamin C serum, and I've been loving it! It has 0.5% salicylic acid and 2% glycolic acid in it. I've been using it for months, and it hasn't irritated my extremely sensitive skin. I don't intend on using anything stronger than that as the irritation would completely reverse any anti-aging benefits.

[@logiclanguagelearningFrench]

Does the lipophilic oil suck quality of salycylic not dry you out ?

[@americanfairy]

@@logiclanguagelearningFrench Sorry, your question didn't quite make sense. Are you asking if the toner dries me out? Only a tiny bit, but that's why I apply a moisturizing vitamin C serum after it dries down. I then follow it up with the La Roche-Posey Anthelios Light Fluid Sunscreen in SPF 60. This also adds a touch more moisture back into my skin without making me a shiny grease ball.

[@treyb2919]

[@whitepaper5241]

I'm not a huge fan of AHA. They sting on my skin. Glycolic Acid caused bad breakouts, and Lactic Acid caused a lot of tiny bumps on my skin. Mandelic Acid is the only one that doesn't irritate my skin. And i'm saying this as someone who barely experiences any irritation or side effects from using a 0.1% tretinoin gel.

[@phantpwr]

Love your videos! I’d suggest not filming in the r bathroom. The echo makes it hard to hear. 🙏

[@lindaackerman3507]

Hi, just wondering if you have ever used any products from skin better science, I heard that AlphaRet night cream is supposed to be very good. This is medical grade level and the combine glycolic acid and retinol with lactic acid together, I heard amazing things, I wonder what you think about this...thx

[@itstia552]

Awsome advice Doc... can't wait for the upcoming video xxx

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

Consider filming in a different area or room. It’s such an echoey sound, I think, because the room is too big.

[@summersadie3687]

Dr. Locke, thank you for such an informative and helpful video! I noticed that the Glytone website also offers a Exfoliating Serum - 17 that I am considering. How does this differ from the Glytone Rejuvenating Cream 20? I am mostly interested in the anti-aging benefit of glycolic acid. (My skin is very accustomed to glycolic acid having built up its tolerance from 5 to 20 percent over the years.)

[@denisebriese6414]

[@barbarabraue4087]

That’s the video I’m looking forward to because I’m not sure when to apply it? After vitamin C and before moisturizer in morning or in evening on the nights I don’t use retinol product? I do make sure I use AHA in am before vitamin C as you recommend.

should my alpha hydroxy be refrigerated? also, what should be kept cool?

[@oksana7403]

If I use salicylic acid, should I still use alpha hydroxy acid? I thought salicylic acid does even more than glycolic or lactic acid.

[@sailorgrlie]

I have found that products by AlphaHydrox work very well for me. They're budget friendly, and come in several different strengths.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

These are great, I have been using them for over ten years and I love them!

Thank you Dr for this video. I always love your videos. I have a question, after cleansing with salicylic acid in the morning is it better with damp or dry skin face before putting on vitamin c serum? I'm confuse some dermatologist suggestions on KZbin are different. Wondering what do you think, on damp or dry skin? Thank you! I hope you could reply. 🙏

Hello Dr. I know this is an old video but I hope that you will answer my question. I want to star using revitalift cleanser (or the peeling toner 5%) )in my morning routine but I am wondering if it has any conflicts with the serums I use from TO, like EUK etc ( in general all the serum that conflicts with glycolic acid as TO says). Thank you ❤

I need to find a new one to add to my routine that isn't too potent while using tretinoin on alternating days as I used to use the ordinary AHA 30% once a week and it was okay for 6 or so week but then my chin started to become sensitive. Especially since I have a bit of texture on my forehead.

As a male who has to shave, AHA stings my freshly shaved skin. I had to switch to Paula's Choice 2% BHA which works well for the oily areas of my face. However, I have PIH, and the lower part of my jaws and neck area are dry. How do you suggest incorporating an AHA into my routines? Thanks!

[@KhalilKhalil-mr5ol]

I’m not as smart as her. But I am also on a rotating retinol schedule like her and I only shave every other day. So on the days I don’t use adapalene at night I’ll use the ahas in that night routine. Those are the days I’ll shave in the morning. That way I get my shave in for the day and still get my aha in for the day. But still keeps them somewhat separate to avoid the irritation. It’s been working for me.
