Pore Clogging Ingredients| Dr Dray

YOU TALK LIKE SQUEEZY4REAL

[@AliTass]

thanks Dr Dray! ever since I've implemented your routine, it has done nothing but wonders to my acne prone skin. I've never thought of applying a humectant or a moisturiser on top of a wet skin before, and that actually revolutionised my skincare routine! i was so stuck in that skincare craze bandwagon before, buying antioxidant serums, asian toners and lotions, essences and whatnot. it was an expensive habit, and one that didn't bode well with my skin at all. in fact, my skin reverted to its terrible teenage acne that i had. after discovering you i've realized most of the somewhat pseudoscientific skincare claims (nowadays, the marketing angle tries to be scientific with skincare, in an attempt to make it legitimate) are simply an evolution of marketing, not skincare. basically, i went back to my old skincare routine (with a little tweak inspired by you) of BP and moisturiser, with generous sunscreen everyday. thanks Dr Dray, you've spared my skin and my somewhat limited uni student wallet

[@sams517]

Alif Asyraf Tassim what BP product do u use

[@AliTass]

personally, my experience with most BP products are identical. I've tried Oxy, PanOxyl and generic brands (all not the US brands). You should try to find gel/cream BP that is fragrance free. I suppose (from my observation) that brands like Neutrogena, PanOxyl, Oxy, La Roche Posay, ZapZyt and Clean and Clear (all specifically in the US) offers these. You should check out Dr Dray's recommendation. I personally use 5% because i can tolerate it (my skin has developed tolerance since i've used BP for quite some time), have tried 10% and 2.5% as well, but as Dr Dray has mentioned in her previous video(s), try to avoid 10% on your face because it can be irritating. plus, 2.5% and 5% are just as effective as 10% with less irritation (anecdotally and based on the different claims i've read and watched so far). as for the vehicle, i have yet to try a BP wash and see if it is just as effective and less irritating as a gel/cream, the latter which i have only tried and used.

[@DrDrayzday]

thank you so much!!

[@Caja2020]

So you're only using cleanser & moisturizer only as of now? Because you said you apply moisturizer on wet skin so I suppose that after cleansing, you apply the moisturizer right away?

[@AliTass]

yup. wait for it to dry and apply BP afterwards. if it's in the morning, sunscreen follows after BP

Dr. Dray. Will you consider making a video on fragrance/chemical sensitivity and how it affects our health? Ex. Beauty, cleaning products etc. I recently became sick from inhaling a chemical product. I'm also looking for shampoo and soaps with little to no scent. Thank you!

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

I consider myself lucky...even when my skin was “oily” nothing ever clogged my pores. My skin still seems to love, thrive and react best to the “supposedly” pore-clogging ingredients like the much maligned silicones, petrolatum, mineral oil etc. under Sunscreen during the day and over Differin at night. I’m now loving Cerave, Vanicream and my much loved Clinique (the DDML lotion & Cream w/mineral oil and petrolatum)...also Clinique’s Moisture Surge Intense w/petrolatum. Isn’t Petrolatum/Mineral Oil “natural” ingredients since they come from the remains of creatures who once roamed the earth millions of years ago? Not sure. However, not ever having had any acne or acne breakouts, I can imagine it’s like walking through a minefield of ingredients! It must be beyond nerve racking to try different products while never knowing how it will affect an individual’s breakouts.

[@Siberius-]

I've been looking into primers and stuff lately that contain silicone, since it's a good replacement for oils (since my skin is oily enough and oil is not so good for makeup staying together), and it's good to see a number of good channels taking the time to explain to the viewers that silicone is not at all comedogenic (it's in acne products and stuff, come on).

[@howudoin62]

Thank you for spreading the truth about comedogenecity ratings and mineral oil, specifically. There are a few popular bloggers who insist that mineral oil and petrolatum clog pores, suffocate skin (whatever that means) and are unhealthy overall thereby misleading a potentially large number of people on perfectly wonderful ingredients.

[@DrDrayzday]

it is confusing

[@oliviad6713]

My grandmother lived until 84 and had the most beautiful skin. I remember at night she would wear one of those silk hair bonnets and slather her face with baby oil (mineral oil). A cosmetic chemist told me that the best barrier against transepidermal water loss hands down is petrolatum, but it isn't very aesthetically appealing for use alone as a face cream, hence all the formulations.

I love your advice to keep it simple. I just went to the dermatologist for a follow up and she recommended Cerave Am & Pm, Vanicream spf, staying away from fragranced products, and plant oils as they can tend to cause acne.

THANK YOU! FINALLY, someone said it: Marketing! ;) My own experience: I don't have acne, I have dry skin. I moisturize my face every day with pure vaseline and I never ever break out. However, when experimenting with unrefined coconut oil as a moisturizer for my face , I always always "break out." Maybe it's the fact that it's more viscous than other oils and therefore it "hardens" the sebum and so, clogs pores. I can use it on my body and it's amazing for that, but not on my face :/ Anyway, superb video Doc, as always! :) Greetings!

[@rachelfrombefore]

Hey There Luka #teamvaseline 😁

[@DrDrayzday]

coconut oil alone is not great on the skin

[@nunpho]

Hey There Luka if you have dry skin then you will need more than vaseline, although it's good to prevent moisture from escaping it doesn't moisturise. I have dry skin (as well as hormonal acne, boo) and one of the best things I've done is cut out foaming products with sls in it. SLS is a harsh detergent and just strips the skin

[@Siberius-]

Awesome. Foundation generally shouldn't break someone out, since it's designed to not be absorbed through the pores, even if there is makeup inside the pores, but you do want to make sure it's properly cleaned off afterwards, with an oil or cold cream or whatever and then all washed off in the shower afterwards with a face cleanser. People put on a LOT of foundation, when you can get away with so much less (Wayne Goss on youtube is pretty good for this). Also no-foundation looks have become so much more popular, and they look really good, even with skin that has things to cover up. I much prefer that look. Just a primer if you want it, then concealer only in places where it's needed and blended up well, and then a tiny amount of setting powder if you want. Then the skin generally looks flawless. Or if there's red spots to cover up, mixing the concealer with some green concealer and THEN applying the mixture is the go. People tend to get a little excessive with this stuff (which is fine if they wanna!).

[@Ninaliveshere]

My face does not like mineral oil or petrolatum at all. I tried the Ponds Cold Cream and my face started breaking out. I stopped using it and my face cleared up. I tried using Vaseline as an occlusive layer and I broke out. Stopped and my face cleared. I bought a Micellar water that contained mineral oil and my face started breaking out again. I wish I could use these products, but at least I know what to avoid.

[@cindyarends]

I do not care what anybody says about you. I have such an admiration for you! I was getting so sick and tired of hearing x procuct is braking me out and shea butter is to be feared and dimethicone is an ingredient from the de..l. You have such an honest, gentle and non-judging way about making clear how all that research was and should be interpreted now. Not based on studies conducted ages ago, and not even on human skin. Don't think x product is the cause per se. You might be going into menopause. You might have put on just put on another brand of makeup or put that stuff on and too often. Why is it that it's always the products are to blame, even if they are the ones that possibly could help us the most? We are living in a circle. Thank you Dr. Dray for giving it to us gently!

These two gotta rid all the dry flakes for me and my mom. Im curious to what are some recommended body lotions (aren't too thick) from these brands (eucerin, curel, aveeno, cerave) for face? and whether or not body lotions are safe to use on the face. Thank you for all the tips for skin care you give, I'm super happy there is a dermatologist available to teach the truth about skin care,

[@amixeblu]

I have used mineral oil in my moisturizer (Nivea blue tin, I am extremely dry) for literally ages. I'm 45 and I was dry in my teens too (not due to other products, just like that). I have had acne (cystic) on dry skin in my late 20s but the Nivea never worsened it, on the contrary even. It soothed the dryness of the products I had to use that particular time, before my dermatologist started prescribing me lotions and potions with moisture in them (specially made by the pharmacist). I don't get the entire "mineral oil free", "oil free" kind of thing. I have used sweet almond oil (now hyaluronic acid) my entire life underneath my moisturizer too. I am just that dry. :)

Foundation can be problematic...no tell tale ingredient, but can really build up on the skin and be irritating

Hello Dr. Dray ! Hope is all well . Thank you for using this platform as a form to educate us about skincare . I have a question. What are your thoughts on the brands Murad and First Aid Beauty ? Ive been intrigued to try them but , im not sure if they will be a waste of money . Thank you ! ☺️

[@DrDrayzday]

Murad has some good brigthening creams ( i like the post-acne spot treatment) and FAB's moisturizing cream is nice too.

[@anaceci97]

Dr Dray thank you ! What do you think about their face cleansers ? For example , murad has a AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser that ive been wanting to try out but not sure if its worth it , many people have recommended. And for the FAB their face cleanser , thoughts? Thank you in advance 😁

[@juliebarnes7425]

GREAT topic! GREAT video! You answered some questions I didn't even know I needed answers to. Got my Bath & Body Works Energy candle going tonight. Bergamot and Orange and it's awesome! Hope you had a great day.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! sounds like a nice scent!

[@ronagumabao-rodriguez8233]

Very informative, Dr. Dray. Could you also do a video about PCOS Acne?

[@MarbleHercules]

Very informative video. Rare to see actual useful knowledge compared to the popular opinionated stuff.

I can predicatably create milia under my eyes by using certain thick balms. They go away if I stop.

[@Savvysuue]

I would love to watch your videos but I wish you’d put the time for topics in the bio ): I just don’t have time to sit and watch 20 minutes for history I just want answers. Not trying to be offensive at all- I think you’re very intelligent and I enjoy your recommendations.

[@DrDrayzday]

when i do that people ask redundant questions because they skip key infomation they assume they dont need to know or is not relevant to them

[@jennienguyen7137]

Dr. Dray that was what I was thinking too in testing products on animals. Our skins are not the same as rabbits. They should test on people to know for sure if and how it reacts to human’s skins. They think animals can have acne, so it’s logical to test if this creams will caused acne on human.

[@jayniestanley7118]

Ur videos r always so informative. I luv to watch u. U have made me so happy. Now i have proof of many things i thought were true. I luv to watch Dr. Drey everyday!!!!!!!!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! glad to hear your are enjoying :)

[@veronicagoberdhan3620]

Hey Dr, is glycerine good for the skin? Please tell!!!

[@ivanuzzo81]

I have oily skin and any carrier other than water would break me out if it's in a high percentage. Even propanediol (in a product in which it is in the first place in the list of ingredients) broke me out like there's no tomorrow. Actually, I felt uncomfortable since the very first moment I put on that product. I felt as if I had a sticky film all over my face. I guess most of the times you just have follow your gut feelings. If it doesn't make you feel right, then it's a no go.

[@marlynnek6449]

Non-comedogenic ratings are total BS in my experience. What shouldn't break me out according to the labels DOES quite often. I hate it.

[@sarahfaridy6049]

I'm really confused about something , I had used the LRP cica balm on my whole face one night, including under eyes and eyelids and the next morning I wake up with tiny bumps - (not red , not painful, not anything like a pimple ) around my eyes and I am pretty sure it was milia

[@create-hx7pe]

An eye opener. Thank you. My question to you is, if one is trying to keep things natural, what is a good oil to use on the skin?

[@DrDrayzday]

nothing....avoid the temptation to buy "all natural" products...they tend to be very very problematic

[@joymccourt9313]

You are such a ray of sunshine. Thank you!

[@joymccourt9313]

Lol T “ you are not a rabbit”

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@VK-mk2cw]

Hello Dr. Dray, can you comment on this controversial pore-clogging ingredient "isopropyl myristate" in Retin-A cream? It seems contradicting to me that this cream is supposed to fight acne, but yet clog pores.

[@DrDrayzday]

I address this here…”pore clogging” is not reliable

[@meenuvincent1979]

@@DrDrayzday the one moisturizer i use is a body lotion with that as the fourth ingredient. I am acne prone but this doesn't break me out.

[@ShanGooFan]

A+ information! Thank you for teaching us accurate information. It’s refreshing in the world of YT.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@canadianmasraya332]

So do you ever wear makeup? I was searching for a video of yours regarding maybe more “natural” favorite makeup products, but I couldn’t find one. I guess maybe that makes sense since you reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours! So can people actually wear any kind of makeup/foundation without taking it all off to reapply sunscreen in 2 hours? Love the videos!

[@DrDrayzday]

nope

[@-Lily7415]

canadianmasraya I apply liquid sunscreen under my makeup but after I have applied makeup I use powder sunscreen.

[@Hightopsdynomite375]

you are so clear and firm about milia but the only times I've ever had them were also the only times I used eye creams.. coincidence?

[@DrDrayzday]

Did you receive a diagnosis of milia? I ask because I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what milia actually are...I think you may be confusing closed comedones with milia.

[@Hightopsdynomite375]

Dr Dray probably yes! Thanks for answering my questions!

[@chimgeedolgor8590]

Hi, from Mongolia. Cerave PM contains Cetearyl Alcohol+Ceteareth 20 and Polyglyceryl 3+Diisostearate. Don't those ingredients clog pores?

[@Laurendoesflips]

Lol so true about the diy remedy thing! Ugh I tried to use coconut oil for acne and wrinkles along with an Arsenal or lotions and potions and it is so true that the more junk I put on my face the worse my break outs got...

[@jamieyang5949]

Hi Dr Dray , do you have any recommendations for sunscreen product for oily+sensitive+acne prone skin?

[@thedolsez3200]

Omg you have them all 😂 like me , i use etude house sunprise mild airy finish , it contain alcohol but I find that is the beeeest one for this kind of skins ( it's 100% mineral sunscreen that don't leave a white cast ) , and the very important thing it will not break you out

[@gandame8960]

Dra. Dray hope you notice me Hehe Im from philippines I have a question and hope you answer me Is’t true that drinking coffee or eating chocolates can cause acne?

[@ruqiyaibrahim2]

Well Ik that eating unhealthy may cause acne but I heard it was for some people not everyone

[@AwkwardGreatness]

Thanks for the helpful video!

[@DrDrayzday]

Glad to hear it was helpful :)

[@allymich94]

Hi Dr Dray! I really enjoy watching your videos and learning from you! My primary skin concern is blackheads on my nose. I recently started using a salicylic acid cleanser, and am hoping that will help. Is it appropriate to have a facial with extractions?

[@DrDrayzday]

ask your dermatologist....some lesions of acne are ideally suited for comedo extraction, but not all....if not done by someone who knows what they are doing then there is a major risk of scarring

[@rozytitcountingmyblessing6712]

Hai Dr Dray, thank you for nice explaination. This is awesome. I try my best just to minimun my skincare. Putting a lot of stuff may be cause the breakout, it sound so creppy. I must put it in my minds. Have a nice day😍😍😍love u

[@DrDrayzday]

less is more for sure

[@VeraVictoria]

Another super helpful video simplifying a confusing topic! I also watched your Niacinamide video recently, and I have heard some people say that you shouldn’t combine Niacinamide with Retinoids/AHA/BHA... what do you think?

[@DrDrayzday]

no reason to say that

[@debsterdebz]

Informative as always! Thank you! :)

[@Ankita1ful]

Hi Dr Dray, firstly I just love ur videos... you have totally changed my skincare routine.. Thank you so much. Can you do a review on Pixi glow tonic. Thanks💕💕

[@quynhngo6094]

Thank you, another informative video! Can you make a video on your opinion about facial oils? I've been using rosehip seed oil and considering marula oil, wondering if those are effective in skincare routine or just mostly marketing claims?

[@DrDrayzday]

don't use those oils
