How to Beat Breakouts (Acne Skincare Tips) | A Model Recommends

[@RuthCrilly]

Yep, I'm going to do a video update soon.. x

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you and thanks for watching xxx

[@RuthCrilly]

No, you wash the washcloth! Or have a few - they are cheap to buy. Have them on rotation. Clarisonic, wash brush with a little mild shampoo every other use. xx

[@girlmm020304]

Hey Ruth,Thanks to you and other youtube gurus,I'm cleaning my face every.single.day. Because of you I understood how important it is to clean the pores and to moisturize to prevent wrinkles.I'm 18 but I'm taking skincare really seriously.Lots of love ,Misha

[@RuthCrilly]

I find the texture a bit icky and annoying, but if you have oily skin I imagine it feels quite nice! I like the Clarins one I mention here.. x

[@RuthCrilly]

My pleasure. More pore tips upcoming! x

[@looshy95]

sugar played a massive role in causing my skin breakouts I've cut out added sugar for 2 months now for health reasons and my skin never looked any better and I'd never heard it before so thanks for mentioning it

[@LorenzavanMatterhorn]

Thank you so much, Ruth!!! I suffer from the same problem. And I bought the Effeclar Duo yesterday. After just two applications it got so much better! You have been my favorite "guru" for years but now you are my personal angel. Thank you so much xx

[@Jaybeearr87]

the effaclar duo helped my skin a lot. great to hear, that you like it!

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, the liquid gold that I mention in this video. That's Glycolic. It's excellent, but have been using for years and had to switch to something new! x

[@ipak1705]

I love the whole La Roche Posay Effaclar line! I couldn't live without them... I love the Effaclar Mat moisturizer!

[@PowderedPeach]

Efflaclar Duo is seriously amazing for adult acne. Hands down one of the most brilliant products on the market, and it doesn't feel like you're applying an acne treatment. I was so happy to see you speak so highly of it because it's been such a miracle worker for me. Love your videos! =)

[@kimidoodles]

I've noticed the same thing about sugar lately. Its been really difficult to give that up, but my skin has quickly recovered from some crazy blemishes. Thanks for the tips, Ruth, keep 'em coming!

[@vinduekanayaka168]

I am using philosophy purity cram cleanser. That is the best I have ever used. Very mild . Little amount goes long. Does the job very well.its remove all the makeup & leave the skin very soft & hydrated. I have combination to dry / sensitive skin. Much happy about this.

[@RuthCrilly]

I've been using for three weeks but saw an almost instant change x

[@RuthCrilly]

You don't need it to lather, really, for it to work. I use the Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser with mine mostly. xx

[@annared07]

It's worth noting that Boots give samples of La Roche Posay if you ask them, they were very generous with me and gave me several samples to try. I'm now going to actually start using them, thanks Ruth!

[@RuthCrilly]

Pre-cleanse, travel emergencies, camping, quick morning cleanse! xx

[@RuthCrilly]

Yep, I think it's good for all types x

[@RuthCrilly]

There's a health video coming up next week - not QUITE this, but hopefully helpful! x

[@RuthCrilly]

The Givenchy one in this vid is insane. I love it. x

[@malgosn]

thank you for the usefull tips!!! sugar (monosaccharide) feeds saccharomyces in our stomach and intestine, and too much of these can cause candida which shows with changes in our skin (our third kidney)

[@MissRabbitsAngel]

I was doubting to get the effaclar duo or not. Now I'm convinced, getting it tomorrow. Thanks for yet another amazing quality video!

[@RuthCrilly]

You can use the AH every day. I use it a lot, even when my skin is clear x

[@EllaSuBella]

I'm using La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo since 2 years! I'm also a big fan of it and my break outs disappeared in about 2 weeks or something like that! Now I only use it on my chin every second night besides my other skincare faves like Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate (great product with great results) or the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H (bit richer and better for the colder months)... Keep up your good work, Ruth! I like your videos! Greetings from Germany

[@RuthCrilly]

Freckles are beautiful! x

[@GhadaOthmani]

Effaclar Duo + is my saviour!!

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, have been trying that one too, but going one at a time as had to just get it cleared up! xx

[@luciaaho]

Hey ruth! I have been using La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo for a week because of this video. My skin has been A LOT better. Thanks you very much! x

[@RuthCrilly]

The gel is targeted whereas the Euro version of the Duo is used as an all over treatment xx

[@RuthCrilly]

I use it straight under makeup. In the US, the Duo is a different product though - a targeted spot treatment I think? x

[@RuthCrilly]

OK, I'll do another one soon! x

[@JuliaDymond]

actually such a good point about the sugar! ive had about 5 spots pop up recently when i usually have perfects skin, nothing changed about my skincare/makeup routine that i can think of but i have had sugar a whole heap more. starting now - no more sugar.

[@talli8cakes]

Love this...rushes out to buy everything! When my painful adult acne flares up, I use Nude cleansing oil to break down makeup, then the Pai cleanser with my Clarisonic (evening only) then finish with the Pai rosehip oil (even on oily breakouts) it tends to heal them overnight so there's just a hint of red in the morning!

[@chaton20]

Thank you! I recently went to a dermatologist because of my Acne (I'm 27). She gave me Avene gentle gel cleanser (which does not disturb the skin's acidity) and Neostrata gel plus with 15% AHA. This is supposed to prepare my skin 3 weeks ahead of my fruit acid skin peels.

[@MissNicoleDee]

Your videos are so informative! I just recently stopped using my prescription gel because I found it wasn't working as well as it used to, and was about to give up on my skin until I did my research on Effeclar duo and watched your videos on it. I bought it and hopefully it turns out to be a miracle product for my skin too!! :) Thanks Ruth x

[@RuthCrilly]

My pleasure xx

[@RuthCrilly]

You could always use a cleansing water with cotton wool and then splash? xx

[@RuthCrilly]

Hmmm. At shoots they do legs with MAC face and body, but not sure about a non-makeup remedy. I'll ask around! x

[@RuthCrilly]

I use StriVectin SD, but not sure that it targets dark circles... Think it's vitamin K that does that? Might be wrong,,, x

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, quite, I think that the K is slightly less powerful though - I'd have to do some more research. xx

[@RuthCrilly]

The Effaclar is an all-over moisturiser rather than targeted spot treatment. At least, it is here in the UK.. x

[@RuthCrilly]

With a gentle cleanser, yes. xx

[@RuthCrilly]

Nope, have ceased that while using the LRP x

[@headstaggers8yka]

Ruth recently recommended the Effaclar Duo to me and it has made a HUGE difference. Thanks Ruth :) One less thing to worry about!

[@RuthCrilly]

My pleasure! x

[@bethawesomeable]

I use a cleansing oil first, its awesome, especially to remove mascara, then a hot cloth cleanser. Works wonderfully.

[@RuthCrilly]

Love Jasmine tea, but has to be done properly! Like you, I prefer it when I'm in a restaurant or on hols xx

[@RuthCrilly]

I have them right here, but the kiwi scrub reminded me of vomit!! Have you got the silver powder? xx

[@collegeopera]

I can't thank you enough for the reviews. Especially the Liquid Gold; it's all kinds of awesome! I too have clear skin and rarely have breakouts so you can imagine my distress when I saw a pimple on my forehead two days ago. I rarely use the LG but last night I used it on my skin and wow! pimple's nearly vanished now and skin feels extra smooth. I don't think I'll use it too often but save it for special treatments and thankfully, it keeps for 24months after opening.

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, really excellent skincare. Love the antioxidant fluid. xx

[@RuthCrilly]

Have stopped for the moment while I finish the Effaclar, but usually every three nights, x

[@RuthCrilly]

Yep, that's in the makeup tutorial for this video! x

[@xxsandywhitexx]

amazing video ruth! I was having a horrible time with my skin, and cut out milk chocolate and other high sugary things (mostly just chocolate though) and within 3-4 days my skin was at least 10x's better! I was so surprised but not eating chocolate or greasy foods is one of the best things for your skin and health!

[@RuthCrilly]

The body releases insulin to deal with the sugar, so....that interrupts hormone balance, so yes it does. If indirectly.

[@olivianico7677]

This is such an old video, but I'm just now viewing it (it was released on my birthday!!!). I have to comment and say that I love you. You're so well informed and smart and interesting and beautiful. Whenever I watch you, I get the feeling that you know exactly what you're talking about.

[@ashleefitz-gerald2776]

I had bad acne and decided to try tea tree oil - well i've never looked back since! It really cleared my skin and now I get compliments :)

[@Alaznel]

Ruth Green tea taste fantastic if you brew it at the right temperature and if it's good quality green tea. If you brew it at too high a temperature, it will taste bitter which is what I find what people generally don't like about green tea. Tea can be sweet and very pleasant tasting if you do it right, buy whole tea leaves and steep at the right time. It can be tricky to get the right temp and the right steeping time for different green teas however.

[@RuthCrilly]

It seems to be pretty effective! Does it dry your skin though? What's your concern? x

[@SecondHelpingsPodcast]

Thanks for the tips, my skin is going crazy because of the cold weather and my exams, can't wait to try the Effeclar Duo x

[@niiniimiinii]

whenever my skin is breaking out i also use the laroche posay effaclar duo, really love it xx

[@TheOrganiclady]

Tutorial, yes please. I agree with you on sugar. Sugar cane is grown with the use of synthetic fertilizers and weed sprays...not good things. Drinking at least 2 quarts of water a day is a great thing.

[@RuthCrilly]

The US version is stronger it contains Benzoyl Peroxide - the UK doesn't, the US is probably a little more effective but ONLY use it on the spots, I think! x

[@RuthCrilly]

Thanks for watching x

[@nka30]

I just bought the Superfacialist Tea Flower face wash which has salicylic acid in it.. can't wait to use it! Great video.

[@stev9079]

I've found that prescription strength retin-a really is helping my skin become clear. I am using the lowest dose. It makes your skin a little red initially but its worth it!

[@RuthCrilly]

Hello, I always make it clear if it is a sponsored post! Hope it's working better for you now x

[@PhilippeBijnens]

Hehe I've been using La Roche Posay for years now to fight breakouts. Glad to see you join the brand :)

[@RuthCrilly]

GOOD POINT about the mobile! x

[@smokeyproductionsftw]

This makeup is extremely flattering on you! It gives you a lovely glow! :) x

[@dizzyk54]

I totally agree about cleansing, I also became amazed at how much foundation/makeup was still on my face the next morning after I cleaned my face. I also am sensitive to some products, but don't know what ingredients it could be, just trial and error for me, I would be interested to know if you figure out what you are sensitive to. Take care Love your videos Vicki

[@miurpo]

Ooooh I wanted to tell that the "effaclar duo" has saved my skin ! I'm french and I tested almost everything in our "french pharmacy". And my three top products are : 1. La roche posay effaclar duo 2. Nuxe rêve de miel lip balm 3. Bioderma "eau micellaire" And it seems that nobody in the youtube community was talking about the effaclar duo ! I used it for one year and all my blemishes disappeared. I had completely clear skin. I stopped using it and after 3 weeks my spots came back !

[@SoapySoul]

You are advocating intense cleansing but my dermatologist is so against it. Last time I went to see her then I suddenly became very oily and had crazy breakouts, she prescribed a skincare routine what excluded tap water, but she allowed canned mineral water and high quality bottled water. She also detests clarsonic and is against peelings, scrubs, exfoliation and so on...(her skin looks amazing) Of course then choosing between using tap water and having some foundation on for 3 days the first option is the best one... but my skin improved dramatically since I stopped using tap water and I plan to keep it like this even through showers and hair washes are a real struggle now, I am convinced my body's skin and even my hair would get better if I could stop using tap water on them too but I can't afford it... I really need to move into the mountains and live near a pond or something... strange thing... I would have never suspected the water to have any negative impact on my skin...

[@sophielouise6590]

I love all your videos, and recently I started breaking out really badly and was so upset over it, until I remembered about this video of yours! I'm always so glad to hear your recommendations and I always trust what you say. Thank you Ruth! Ps. You look absolutely stunning!

[@TheSeasideCorner]

I agree with you on the Effeclar duo, I too have an acne prone skin and this creme saved my skin. I use it both during the day under makeup and at night along with an eyecreme. I used glycolic acid before but it was just too harsh for my skin.

[@RuthCrilly]

Yep! I've been researching online and there are LOADS of threads! x

[@katiebrown83]

Great video, Ruth! I'm going to try that Effaclar Duo out. FYI, for those in the US La Roche Posay has a product also called Effaclar Duo, but it is a spot treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide. I'm guessing that the US market has driven that decision to have that one. We seem to like Benzoyl Peroxide. I completely agree with you on the sugar. I do notice when I have too many sweets or eat crap, my skin looks worse. I need to be even better about cutting more sugar out of my diet.

[@xOhhLauraa]

These are helping me so much. I'm 17 and starting out modeling and I just want to thank you for these helpful videos!

[@schwarzyfication]

ruth,your videos really are always useful,plus you're gorg and always look humble which is so nice to see in a person!;-) i really enjoy every single video of yours!i think you deserve more views girl! xxxx

[@RuthCrilly]

That's very interesting! I bet there are loads of trigger ingredients in some SPFs! x

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you - three of my faves too! xx

[@RuthCrilly]

What makeup are you wearing? Could it be a reaction? x

[@RuthCrilly]

Honestly, I'd wait if you can for a couple of months, just because your hormones will probably go a bit wild again once the baby is born... You can still use Glycolic, just not salicylic or retinoids... Which ones did you stop using? xxx

[@8316359]

LOVE la roche posay products! They cater to all skin types!! Recommended this to my aunt in the states. I believe CVS in the states sell them.

[@RuthCrilly]

STILL haven't used it!! x

[@Phantomago]

i use la roche posay effaclar k. i finished my 3rd tube and bought the 4th on. i recommend it a lot. definitely use it on oily parts of ur face. my fronthead is clean of pimples. so i use some anti wrinkle cream there. i use effaclar k elsewhere

[@angellissr3058]

I used effaclar duo, but I wouldn't recommend it to peolpe with sensitive acne prone skin.. It is very concentrated and can irritate your skin, as it did to mine .... which made my acne even more visible and red !! effaclar K is more gentle.. thank you ruth for your recommandations,

[@Mellycupcakes]

Such a brilliant video. So many great tips that are actually helpful and work. This is one of my favourite skincare videos. Thank you!

[@Aine1073]

I tried Effaclar for ages because I'd heard so many good things about it but sadly it didn't work for me. What I have found to be amazing is the Garnier Pure Active range with 2% salicylic acid. I'd highly recommend it. It's really cheap and works brilliantly :)

[@Nalanzazu]

I have been using La Roche-Posay's Effaclar line cleanser, toner and the duo cream for about a year now, and its still keeping my skin clear. My skin is prone to getting used to products and they stop working effectively and I need to switch, but not with these! Another thing is that my skin does not respond well to large amounts of salicylic acid but just the small amount of it in the Duo Creme really works wonders! unfortunately expensive in Canada :(

[@szponasia]

Hi Ruth... I am super suprised that you havent use LaR-P before, this is a must have for oily skin. Use Duo till the skin will be clear and then just switch to Efaclar K... Love your channel...

[@DebzCM911]

An amazing video Ruth - thank you so much for the suggestions, I've had a lot of breakouts lately and it can be painful. No matter how long I detox for I always end up back on sugar! I need to kick that habit! You are amazing - not only do you offer great suggestions but you have a lovely voice as well, I'll check out the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, and up my green tea intake I think!

[@RuthCrilly]

No, I am quite scared of needles and also of looking as though I have been made from plastic! Far too risky in my line of work... ; ) x

[@RuthCrilly]

Glad to hear it! xx

[@RuthCrilly]

Bit more difficult as I can't truly test for dry skin.... Have you had a look at Wayne Goss's videos? He covers this a lot? xx

[@Lady_nitephaSe]

The stress, hormones, and diet is my problem. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure. My skin use to be great until it is now a tiny bit bumpy, red, and scarred. I loved this video.

[@zainabaslam962]

Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch! Just wanted to say thank you. I am going to have a little shopping spree tomorrow and pick up some of these products, will also cut out milk as recommended in your other video. Thank you Ruth!

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, that is really true! xx

[@MillennialRevolt]

Ruth you are absolutely amazing. I just adore you. This is really helpful for me! My skin is driving me mad! Do you have any best tips/products for bigger pores or super deep pore cleansing? I haven't found a product that works for me to clean out the deepest part of my pores :(

[@RuthCrilly]

Good to know. I have it, it gets forgotten! x
