[@irenegaile]

Music Hero hello! You will probably get different answers from different experts. But I personally prefer to was the face, with a gentle cleanser, first to remove all the dirt and debris, before exfoliating. It also depends on what kind of exfoliant you are using - physical scrub or chemical exfoliant. Some physical scrubs are also cleansers so in this case you might not need to wash before you exfoliate. But when using chemical exfoliants either in toner form or peeling pads, i would recommend that you wash your face first :)

Hi Doc! Thank you for this video I learned a lot. But I have a question, I recently tried using bha toners but I think it caused me pimples and small bumps causing my skin to have texture which I don’t have before. The bha that I’m using claim to be for everyday use (the other one is almost water based) and has 0.5% bha. What should I do to clear up my skin? Should I stop using it or just minimize the no. of times I’m using it? I have oily and sensitive skin btw. I hope you can answer my question doc. Thank you! ☺️❤️

[@irenegaile]

Wendy Nual hello! BHA 0.5% is very low concentration, what are the other ingredients of the toner? If you are experiencing rednessC itchiness, burning sensation, i suggest you discontinue everything and let your skin recover. If none of these, then the bumps on your skin could be comedones or small acne lesions - i suggest you consult if you want to know for sure. But for now try: 1. Double cleansing at night 2. Exfoliating with higher concentration chemical exfoliants (5-10%) 1-2x a week Try for 1-2 weeks. If your condition worsens or doesn’t improve, i suggest you see a dermatologist even just for online consultation:)

Hello! Sorry now ko lng nabasa. Your pore size is genetically determined. Pero may mga bagay that can make them look larger than they are at meron dn mga pwedeng magawa to make your pores appear smaller. Make sure you properly clean your face because oil, dirt and debris can make your pores look larger than they are. Exfoliate regularly to remove all the leftover oil, dirt and debris not effectively removed by cleaning. You may also visit your dermatologist to get in-clinic treatments that may help with your pores :)

Hi doc, new subscriber here!!! Does betaine salicylate effective as salicylic acid? Mostly korean skincare products use this as BHA since may limit daw sa paggamit ng salicylic acid sa korea.

[@irenegaile]

Kier Vincent Salaño hello! Betaine salicylate comes from beets and you’re right, it is used as an alternative to salicylic acid (SA) in areas where SA use is regulated. However there arent that many studies about it yet in terms of efficacy and how it compares with SA. Some say that you need a higher concentration of betaine salicylate to match the efficacy of SA, while others say that it’s similar. Bottom line is, always listen to your skin, observe, if it responds to betaine salicylate and addresses your skin concerns then it means its a good match for your skin :)
