[@cs-yq5ed]

Hang in there. I suffered acne in the 70's when there were no effect treatments. I am going to save up for some sort of in office treatment to hopefully minimize my uneven texture due to scarring.

[@Daniellemcdd]

I completely agree about Microneedling. During the years I have tried almost everything to resolve my acne scars and look younger, anything from face exercises (That's for sagging), vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight). However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for under 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. Acne scars from childhood gone by 90% which was the main reason I started doing it however, that's not the only benefit, My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent. I don't look like I'm in my 20s again, but definitely not 56 either. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.

[@GlennaCoye]

What dermapen did you get?

[@amanda52x2]

Shhhh...don't tell everyone! (Joking) Ive been microneedling for almost 10 years - most guess I'm @ 15 YEARS younger than my birth certificate says. I DO it myself at home, quote aggressively in places, and lightly in others,,maybe 1x month. I am 63

[@DariaHalperin-rv5cv]

+1 for kora beauticaIs. I've been doing microneedling since it started 12 or so years ago. Nobody believe I am 55. They all say I am in my 30's or early 40's. As you know, as we get old, our skin gets thinner therefore creating wrinkles. But the wounding kept my skin still thick and youthful. Your comment will help so many women to restore their skin..

[@laurenschaeppi2001]

After microneedling, peelings for two box acne scars, i decided to take an operation to get the scars removed in hope they would recover better. Unfortunately the scar got bigger and my skin texture didnt improve. Please be carefull with threatments, and check your mental health before undergoing any kind of treatment. It causes a lot of mental health issues if it doesnt work out and you only have skin. Be carefull💖

Ditto on the subject of texture 🎉 I have little, if any, estrogen in my body. I’m noticing that the texture of my forehead seems to be getting a little “rough” … not scars, not acne (but some of them look like they could be popped(kinda a sorta) and am wondering if this could be caused by lack of estrogen. It’s really starting to bug me because I’ve always been blessed with good skin.❤😮❤

[@Crystal04913]

I am about to be 30 and have all the scars. I’ve been dealing with acne almost nonstop since I was 20 and at this point I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of my scars bc the acne will just not stop!

[@NatalieZii]

I honestly recommend just going on accutane. I had acne from 10 -29. Accutane was the only thing that worked. I experienced clear skin for basically the first time in my life. I really wish I’d gone on it sooner and not been so afraid of it. I didn’t realize how much of the marking on my skin was permanent until I stopped getting pimples.

[@danigrave3436]

I’m 33 and still have acne. My scars have almost disappeared since using vitamin c, spf and retinol.

[@Katepwe]

I used Accutane when I turned 30 (I’m now 60) and it definitely did clear up the acne for good. My skin, nose, eyes became very dry, red and uncomfortable and there was some nasty purging that left a few mild indented scars but no real texture. These side effects could have been much less had I been given instructions on how to care for my skin while on the medication. Looking back, if I had been given the option, I would have used prescription tretinoin first. I’ve had some professional micro needling which has made some improvement.

I know that my comment will probably go unnoticed, but I just thought I’d share what worked for me. I had both superficial, pink/red/ dark brown hyperpigmentation and a little bit of scarring aswell. I only used ONE product and it completely disappeared in a few months. All I used was tamanu oil ✨ I watched a video from liah yoo where she recommended this product. I am so so thankful for her for teaching me about this. Truly transformed my skin. It’s only $12 too!!!

[@stitchpleasecustoms]

Could you please do a video about how we can best deal with active acne, so that the risk of scarring is minimised? Thanks for the consistent expert advice. xoxo A little nerd

[@AnnaSwan-qv7of]

best way: moisturise and sunscreen. my holy grail is a lightweight moisturiser ( i use invity microemulsion ) and then i use spf 50 sunscreen! try not to use any harsh acids if it is active. stay away from tret, or retinol or retinoid. focus on healing acne first and then the scarring. it is hard to do both at the same time.

[@aninterestingconversation]

Your hair looks so pretty this day.

[@condorhero]

I'm in my 40. Took me 30yrs to find out what I'm doing wrong to get acne. Over 10yrs now of no more acne just mini red scars. What I did that works: It all comes down to what you consume. Stay away from bad oil specially hydrogenated oil like vegetable oil; dary products and process food. (Read your food labels of ingredients) Stay hydrate, exercise and eat clean. Check your liver. Clean your colon. Clog colon leads to build up of toxins coming out to the surface. (Look it up) All the products will only help from the outside but the main cause is within. I pray for everyone get theough this stressful battle. Keep fighting and never give up!

[@retribution2610]

Finally i've been waiting for this, i have acne scars for long time, i want to get rid of it but i don't have money to buy expensive products or do laser treatment

[@kale2146]

My acne isn't even bad, my problem is that even if I have ONE pimple on my skin, it will scar without fail.. as a result I have so many keloids and hyperpigmentation. I'm honestly torn between getting derm treatments on them or getting some tattoos to just cover them lol both would be expensive either way

[@pasalazar]

Would be great to see a video where you talk about an inflamed pimple, then what to do if you were horrible to your self and pop it , and how to look after this the days after ‘attacking ‘ your face

[@sing2meh]

Dr., would you ever do a video about first aid and skincare for people with dermatillomania? I don’t see many qualified professionals talking about the skincare aspect of this condition. I’m in therapy for the psychological part, but I wish I knew what to do after I did some bad picking at my skin to help wounds heal and avoid scarring/hair loss while also dealing with the increased sensitivity . By the way, this video is INCREDIBLE! thank you so much. Saving for future reference and taking notes.

Thanks, Dr Idriss. I asked about this a few weeks ago and I am thankful to you for addressing the textural scarring issue. I will start saving my money for an in-office treatment (microneedling, laser, etc.) I had my acne as a teenager in the 1970's and there were little to no treatments. They used to put me into something like a tanning booth! Thanks so much for giving me dark spots, with no positive effect on my acne. 🤷‍♀️ 😖 😢

[@thanushahmanogaran5387]

After years, I finally got an explanation as to why subcision didn't work on me as well as it did for others. My rolling scars just got worse and more prominent after my treatment because my doctor did not deposit a filler underneath it. The scars remained flat and hollow and he was blaming it on me saying I lost weight

[@abcdefg-z5n]

What really worked for me was applying a dab of the Skinlyte natural kojic acid soap right after I pop my pimples. When it dries up and heals, there is hardly a mark left. Usually, at my age, those dark spots and scars remain for months. I have allergies and I sometimes get the hives that cause me to scratch constantly until the medicine kicks in. So I rub some of the soap on the places I scratch to prevent hyperpigmentation. I am very impressed by how well it works. I got it from Amazon. Don't get the other brands because they contain synthetic chemicals such as dyes and fragrance. Those will aggravate your condition and may cause irritation that will lead to more inflammation and hyperpigmentation.

I am not an acne girl and never been one when I was a teen BUT I did experience few pimples throughout my 20s (few breakouts) and 1-3 of them turned into a red spot. So I believe you don't need to have had a face full of acne for years to develop few acne marks, just one pimple can become a mark. Also, I am the type who seriously enjoys to pop them so don't do that since it"s majorly because of that it can leave a nice mark 😉

thank you. I suffered from horrible cystic acne and had to do three courses of Accutane over a period of about 20 years. I’ve been using tretinoin nine often on, but consistently over the last five years. I stopped producing excess amount of oil and getting acne at about age 42 and I’m now almost 47. The scars have improved, although they are still extremely visible. I have both types. They are mainly in the areas where a man would grow a beard, lol I am thinking about going to a cosmetic dermatologist, and I am going to show them this and ask them about each type oftreatment

[@sreeparnaghosh5639]

I have a lot of bacne marks from over a decade now. I have tried homeopathic medicine 3-4 times over the years to treat the acne, to decrease dandruff which leads to acne, etc, but nothing worked for the scars left behind. On recommendation from a dear friend, I have been using a salicylic acid+glycolic acid face wash on my back since December '23 and by today (June '24) my marks have reduced a lot! It is atleast 40% gone. I wet my back and rub the salicylic acid+glycolic acid face wash over my marks and keep it for about 5mins before washing it off. I am planning to stick with it because I AM seeing results and i believe patience is key and we'll get there to clean, blemish-free skin 🧿🙏

[@sarapanzarella97]

The best way is to prevent it in the first place - but unfortunately until the internet we didn’t have access to information and had to depend on dermatologists who said things like,”well you won’t get cystic acne when your 80” or “your diet doesn’t matter for your skin”. 😡🤦‍♀️ I guess I was lucky that I didn’t get pitting but I am 49 and I still have purple spots on my chin from my late twenties. I have been treating it actively for a year now - no results. I finally stopped getting hormonal cystic acne when I found info from gynecologists on the internet that suggest DIM for detoxing bad estrogens. Totally stopped getting cystic acne when I took it daily for about 5 years, now I take it occasionally.

I've struggled with acne scars (ice pack and boxar scars) and did tca peel + subcision + dermapen treatment. Now after 2 weeks I can already see 90% of improvment. I think I would need to do one more of this treatment and my scars will be all gone. So if you think what to do, I would suggest this. Microneedling, peelings (that I did few times) it self did not help me with scars, and I don't think I would have this results without subcision combined with tca and dermapen. Hope that I helped someone to, at least, make research about this treatment. Good luck everyone✨️

Hi Dr. Idriss I would love for you to do a video on CLOSED COMEDONES. I've watched your videos regarding Fungal Acne vs. Closed Comedones and the one about Blackheads, Whiteheads, and Milia. I've been following your advice for a while and my skin has improved but these damn closed comedones are not budging. I'm using salicylic acid face wash 1x day, AHA x3 a week, BHA x3 a week (I worked up to this), micellar water in the mornings to get the overnight gunk off, and oil-free moisturizer. The closed comedones are around my mouth area so I can't use retinol and I'm going crazy I've been dealing with these for probably 10 years. The rest of the closed comedones on my face disappeared, but the ones around my jaw won't go. I've had my hormones checked by the doctor, and the doctor said my hormones would not be the reason for my acne. I have this all month long and sometimes they combine with each other and form pustules UGH I'm losing hope :( If I count them there are probably 20-30 little comedones all around my mouth, chin, jaw lower half of my face. I want to resolve my acne scars but this needs to get under freaking control first.

I started developing acne when I was 11 years old, and I am now 21. From ages 17-20 I used prescribed tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin. I developed a reaction to the benzoyl peroxide prescription, so I stopped using it, but I now have blackheads and cystic acne again. My pores are very large, and I would assume I have oily skin because of the blackheads, but my skin is really dry even with moisturizing. I have tried La Roche Posay effaclar duo and it is not irritating like my prescription when buffered with moisturizer, but it has not been effective on my pimples or blackheads. I have also used Paulas Choice Salicylic Acid exfoliator a few times a week (not with the effaclar duo) and I haven't seen any difference with it. I would love to see a video about skin with acne and blackheads but is dry as well. I feel that my skin is aging much faster than it should be because of the dryness, but I'm stuck between trying to moisturize my skin and treating my acne and blackheads.

I did co2 laser three times. Helps a lot!! Too bad it’s expensive

Honestly, I love your products and would love to use them, but its outside my budget.

Hi May you please make a video about what actives should not be used or layered together Vit C, retinoids, azaleic acid, niacinamide, peptides, aha, bha, benzoyl peroxide, snail mucin….

[@missmo463]

She has one! Search for “Dr. Idriss combining actives”. It was soooo helpful to me! There’s another one “layering skincare” that may also be helpful.

Thank you ❤ but I need more suggestions for in office treatment for hypopigmentation. I've visited plenty of derms I am an esthetician myself. I have small hypopigmentations all over my skin. Lots of scaring from acne but mostly because Ive been picking all my life. Like obsessively. 😢 I have finally managed to stop myself. 36 years old now)🎉 everyone I have visited have told me it impossible to treat. I have melasma as well.

I LOVE YOU!!! I HAD A FRIEND WHO HAD A "TINTED WRINKLE BLURRING SUNSCREEN" CAN YOU DO A PRODUCT COMPARISON ON DIFFERENT BRANDS OF THIS "BLURRING SUNSCREEN" PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE 😇😇

I am 56 and have had menopausal hormonal cystic acne and now I am dealing with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I use niacinamide 4%, azelaic acid 20%, sunscreen SpF 50, Glycolic 10% and Lactic acid, licorice root extract, vitamin C, prescription and tretinoin....but it has been taking a bit of time, more than 6 months being an older woman . So it is not an overnight result. I would like to use your products but they are not available in Australia😔

[@Lua-um4gz]

Girl your products are expensive

[@Average_sucks]

True

[@BeniLavi8]

Fr!

[@electrictwilight]

Okay, so if you can't afford them, don't buy them.

[@Lua-um4gz]

@@electrictwilight I could only afford them if I started selling heroin

[@latifa3995]

These derms always act as if only the expense products work.

Hi Dr Idris! I Would love to know more about skin lifting treatment whether is it from products or in office treatments. Hope you can share this topic in one of your video :)

i have so many acne scars, icepick in particular (im talking hundreds). the actual skincare products dont do much for me because it's so superficial... the only thing that has worked for me is the banisher kit because i can mechanically break that scar apart when it is healing. so every time i get an icepick scar, i target that area and the pigment fades very quickly. the texture of the skin is much harder and i still have uneven-ness from my hundreds of acne scars, but the banisher tool was the only thing that actually broke up the skin. ive also gotten PRP professional microneedling and that seemed to help but there was too much downtime from that. Ive tried lasers, it made my skin worse. I tried fillers once but it moved around my skin so it made the scars look worse. I am open to trying the salmon DNA microneedling or morephus 8 but ive heard that it's super painful. I wish others would recommend more invasive acne scar treatments because just applying a toner or serum wont do anything for my acne scars

[@yuchengu2582]

Hey, just wondering for red acne scar， does azelaic acid works better than tranexamic acid?

[@TTKS818]

can not doing subcision before laser treatment make your face look burned/worse??? ive done like 6-10 laser treatments and my scars look worse! please help. i think bc they didnt do subcision and i have zero collagen so they should have injected filler/collagen w/ the laser after subcision
