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?

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

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.

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.

[@unsiafika-g4s]

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.

[@haneyletpajo2922]

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.

[@karleyj9706]

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).

[@lasantuzza777]

My daughter had these for 3 years we tried so many products. We have finally cleared it with neutrogena clear and defend plus wash, hypochlorous acid spray and continuous extractions. No moisturiser on the face or raw oils on the hair. We use Head and shoulders shampoo on the hair and a foliculitis safe conditioner. We are now reintroducing moisturiser for the face.

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.

[@SoundLock]

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.
