hello doctor v i think u should examine my skin , it is very very exotic , like no one in this world has a skin like me , it gets irritated with anything I put , currently I am just washing my face with just water and leaving it alone , and its fine, and when I use skin care products it gets irritated , my skin is a solid subject that should be experimented by skin care experts like u .........

Hello Dr . V, Thank you for sharing all videos to help understand our skin. Would you please do a video on dermatosis papulosa nigra. I have these on my face, neck and back. Is this something that can be treated? Thank you in Advance

[@lavayuki]

For BHA the Paula's choice one is my HG, and for AHA I just stick to the ordinary 10% lactic acid. I tried mizon glycolic acid 8% which was fine and I surprisingly didn't react to it but switched to lactic acid after finishing it based on your advice. I can't wait to buy your exfoliant! I don't see any products with a mix of lactic and mandelic compared to glycolic and lactic.

hi, i am not clear on how many times we should exfoliate in a week. Can i use the Salicylic acid everyday?

Man i got Paula's choice bha few months ago. Started using it once a week, while i did notice soft glowy skin the very next day, i also noticed a lot of bumps on my skin. Checked the ingredients and realised it's got polysorbate 20 in it which is a major FA trigger 😭 I hate that i can't use it.

[@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64]

I could use a microdermabrasion-type product when I was younger. But I noticed that after 50, they caused micro-tears in my skin and an actual rash on my skin after using. I started to use a peeling -type gel and/ or glycolic acid once a week and these work much better. My skin is smooth, soft, and glowing instead of scratched and irritated.

[@pasaikoumanneh7742]

I watched one of your videos where you admitted that you're not a dermatologist, i wonder what do dermatologist know that you don't, for me you a step ahead dermatologists considering you're a cosmetic formulator and having all this knowledge in dermatology

[@mrsmuddycrocs6488]

I use Tretinoin, 5% urea lotion, and after washing in the morning I use a few drops of TO 5% lactic acid. Those combined are very powerful. I wear a sun hat with a SPF veil to protect, and reapply my SPF 50 every 2-3 hrs

So I think I was confused in thinking Tretinoin exfoliates the skin. I was just told it only increases cell turnover but you still need to exfoliate to wash those cells away. Is that true?

[@CamilaSaurus]

Good question!

[@Shuz1211]

I've been using Paula's Choice 2% BHA and I let it sink in for at least 5 minutes before applying Cereva PM moisturiser. I only exfoliate once a week at night.

[@vanitarattan]

[@shutzzzzzz]

Same here. I am using cereva moisturizer and my skin feels greasy. Did u find any solution?

[@roluthetalkingindianringne3376]

I have never been able to understand how much exfoliation is too much? Even with chemical exfoliators. Some say you can use it once a week, others say every night. I used 5% lactic acid every other night, one night substituting it with TO salicylic acid face masque, but i still got redder, irritated skin. Maybe i left it on for a lot longer than was good. Because I'd apply it at night around say 12 or 1 am, then would sleep late, like 6 am, and wash it off when i got up, around 2 or 3 pm. So it'd be on my face for around 12 to 13 hours, even more sometimes. Anyway, I got irritation and had to stop using any exfoliation for 2 weeks. 😥😣

[@sabeenahanson426]

So no exfoliation for dry and sensitive skin?? Is that what Dr. V meant?
