I left a comment on one of your most recent videos, but I'll leave a similar one here too. My son (who just turned 14) started to develop some pretty intense acne. It isn't cystic, but it was starting to really bother him. We had been using the "standard fare" for acne (salicylic wipes, benzoyl peroxide, etc.), but they weren't doing a whole lot. After seeing this video, I ended up ordering some of the products mentioned for him to try. If the OTC retinols didn't work, we were going to have him see my derm. Well, the retinols have worked like magic for him. I started him off on the CeraVe, which started clearing his face immediately. He now uses the CeraVe and La Roche-Posay interchangeably and his skin is next-to perfect. We're both so grateful to the two of you for offering this advice for free. It's invaluable.

Happy to see at least one Cerave product here. I've had super hyper sensitive skin all my life. All the Cerave products are amazing.

I started with the skin renewing night cream which is not a retinol product but contains biomimetic peptides, hyaluronic acid, and 3 essential ceramides. Within weeks of using that I had compliments on how much better my skin was looking. At some point I decided to add in the Cerave retinol serum.

They spoke about it in one of the previous videos. As I understood all powder collagens are pretty useless. They also mentioned that applying collagen on skin won't help much coz collagen molecules are too heavy to penetrate the skin.

[@arissanishimuta]

do you mean like ingesting collagen? For my understanding, the best way is applying directly to the skin, not taking them. As any other nutrients and proteins, collagen is fragmented into amino acids after you ingest them. They will no longer be collagen.

It is unlikely that whole collagen will make it to your bloodstream. However, amino acids of the collagen may, and they serve as the building blocks for healthy skin cell functioning

[@fazwanalif]

Hi there. Do you apply differin as a spot treatment or daily topical. I recently been getting problems regarding maskne (pustules and acne) but I'm not sure which approach I should go with whether staying with mild ingredients like salicyilic acid and niacinamide or try out retinols. @Doctorly can you help this one too? 😅

[@silkysteel]

@@fazwanalif when the maskne started for me, I originally started off using salicylic acid and niacinamide, best thing that worked for me was the 30-day-mircale line but it was only consistently clearing up about 75% of the problem. I tracked it for about 3 months. I wanted a better solution so I made the switch to retinols and it only took about 2 weeks to see a difference and one month to clear it up 99%. Back then I was using it 2-3X a week but now I use it about once every other week, and I still may get a break out every now then (usually only during my period) but it has not been a major issue since i started using it. So I would recommend switching to retinols if you feel like the salicylic acid and niacinamide alone aren't doing enough.
