You might think changing things is difficult, but just small tweaks can do wonders for your skin. Remember to consume plenty of water. Have a 1L bottle nearby and strive to complete it. Once it's done, top up it and consume another liter. If you can handle more, that's great! If your skin is extremely dry or oily, try using litlextra riceeberry face wash. Once or twice daily should be sufficient. It has water from black rice which gives good glow to skin. Don't overlook to moisturize before going to bed, according to what works best for your skin. Attempt to squeeze in some exercise, even if it's just a quick 10-15 minutes. If you're busy working, walk briskly to the bus stop and back. If you can, utilize a treadmill. Afterward, rehydrate, freshen up, have breakfast, and start your day. It's important to remain happy and eat well. Opt for foods like daals, spinach, carrot and orange juice, and yogurt. These are everyday foods that can help you feel amazing. And don't worry if you feel dull during bad weather - it occurs to everyone.

I actually noticed that it did not strip my skin from its natural oil. My face felt quite hydrated even after a short wash with rice berry facewash.

[@gauravvpalod8012]

After finishing a bottle of dermaaco face wash last month, I switched to rice berry face wash the next month. I believe rice berry suited my skin better and resulted in good results.

Thank you so much for this video. In my teen and early 20s my skin was so oily and had lot of breakouts. Now in my 40s it’s the best skin I’ve had. CeraVe is my choice of face products. Now I can help my daughter who is pre teen and has oily skin too.

[@GabijaS18]

What is your skincare routine? Im currently dealing with extremely oily skin and acne breakouts :(

[@DtlaDaisy]

YES def used those blotting papers in high school wayyyyy back when

[@patticake417]

I used to use the clean & clear blotting papers, but I went through so many I was getting annoyed with spending $ on a product that I used up so quickly. I got the idea of cutting squares out of tissue paper and keeping them in a little organza pouch. It's awaaaay cheaper and just as effective.

[@ADGExXXx]

coffee filters work well too!

[@HarleyQuit]

I used brown paper towel if I run out😂

[@shonny2125]

Toilet seat covers works the best. Especially the side of the cover that’s the dullest. Cut into pieces and you’re good to go!

[@patriciaaseron2234]

I use adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gels. I live in a tropical country (PH) and here in our area it is very warm and humid. I still have oily skin but these are my daily lifesaver that made my acne vanish!

[@omartosn824]

Whats the name of the products you use?

[@midlifemom5829]

Tinted sunscreens that compliment deeper skin tones are challenging to find

[@scrubtoast]

Great video. For future videos you might want to mention hat benzoyl peroxide will stain any fabrics like wash cloths, towels, bedsheets, etc... that it comes in contact with. People using benzoyl peroxide should use white wash cloths and white towels to avoid staining colored wash cloths and towels.

Hi Dr Sam! I discovered your channel recently and love how informative your vids are, thanks so much! I see you've recommended BHA and Adapalene here as good ingredients for oily skin, I was wondering if you might make a vid on Azelaid Acid some time? Thanks!

[@greenchemgirl]

I have used Paula's Choice BHA's for 20 years, I use the Extra Strength CLEAR. I use cheaper vitamin C's. I really also have liked for years Paula's Choice RESIST Extra light Sunscreen - I find octinoxate breaks me out so I have not tried too many chemical sunscreens that are popular. But I have ventured into the Asian sunscreens and they are great. At 55 I still break out so I do use Rx tret along with clindamycin and spironolactone. Finally, I frequently wash my pillowcases and my makeup brushes.

[@Melissa-cy9se]

I used the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant for months about two years ago but I couldn’t get past that it felt like it wouldn’t absorb and it would just sit on my face. It was so frustrating to go to sleep like that because my face felt sticky and weird. I wonder why I was having this issue when clearly this product is so popular? Also, those oils absorbing sheets are STILL a must-have for me (and yes I’m a millennial lol)! As a matter of fact, a good friend from high school saw me using them recently and couldn’t believe that I still used them. 😂

[@brettgirl]

I felt like this too after hearing all the rave reviews. I held on to the product and have tried it again recently. Before I was just applying it and felt like it would just sit there. on my skin. shiny (not glowy). This time, I am applying my moisturizer after a few minutes and that feeling goes away. I think locking it in with the moisturizer has changed my opinion of it and now I feel like I'm getting all the benefits like the rest of the world saw. I use the Aveeno Calm and restore oat gel moisturizer, but have also used the CereVe PM moisturizer in the past as well. Maybe give that a try?

[@Melissa-cy9se]

Great recommendations, thank you! A also great and cheaper alternative to the Silymarin CF is the Vitamin C Super Serum Plus from Naturium, it also contains niacinamide and a small amount of salicylic acid.

Biore sunscreen does not have matte finished. If u looking for slightly matte sunscreen all the one I try has zinc oxide in it, the only 2 i tried that really dry down matte is Missha soft finish, and anessa sun milk blue cape, I tried a lot of sunscreen that say “matte” no they don’t they all grease up in half an hours, coming from a super oily person who like in warm client all year round

Over the years I’ve realized that everyone spends differently when it comes to skincare and other things in life. No one needs a $3,000 purse or $50,000 car, but some people find that indulging in those items brings them joy! I totally realize everyone is working with a different budget which is why I try my best to give a range of price points and have created videos specifically for lower-cost skincare items too! 😃

I’ve read that benzoyl peroxide and vitamin c cancel each other out, but not with a BP cleanser. Can you use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser in the morning with vitamin c serum (pure vitamin c)?

[@glammom415]

What is “excess/over washing”. I asked because some people say u only wash in the morning without using a soap.

[@our2pumpkins]

Dr.Ellis, What do you think of alternating Cerave Acne wash (BP) with the Skinfix acne wash for teen acne?

[@DrSamEllis]

I think that would be okay, but ultimately BP washes have much more evidence for efficacy against acne, so if someone could tolerate a BP wash every day, then that would be my rec!

[@YR-up8vk]

Can I use benzoyl peroxide facewash everyday ? I.e. as a daily cleanser

[@cynthiagalvez6219]

Thank you Dr. Ellis! Can the Skinceuticals silymarin product be used in place of the Paula's choice product. In other words can it do double duty?

[@DrSamEllis]

The Sal acid in the silymarin may be enough for some, but I could imagine there are others out there who really benefit from the 2% in PC

I've seen the UV Physical and Biore Aqua Rich Essence recommended a lot for acne-prone skin. However, they both have isopropyl palmitate pretty high up on the ingredients list. INCIDecoder and CosDNA show this as having a pretty high comedogenicity rating. Do you find that this ingredient makes you (or your patients) break out?
