I’ve been dealing with acne for 10 years and NOTHING has helped. I created my perfect acne routine based on all your videos, I’ve been consisted for a month & 1/2 and I’m already seeing so much improvement😌❤️! Thank you thank you so much!

@@2tr6dinquwjos sure:) so in the morning I kept it simple. I started by using a gentle cleanser (I use the cerave hydrating cream-to-foam cleanser) , then moisturizer and then spf(La roche possay tinted mineral sunscreen) . At night I use the same cleanser then Differin Adapeline gel, then moisturizer.

[@katherinediaz3153]

@@2tr6dinquwjos and I’ve followed all of Dr.Shah’s and Dr.Maxfield tips. So the first month I did the adapeline gel every 3rd night, now I’m doing it every other night and next month I will do it everyday. Im also on the hunt for a good/gentle oil cleanser so I can start to double cleanse at night. I’m not sure how your skin is but mine is very sensitive and it gets easily irritated ,so when I tried creating a skin care routine in the past I introduced too many active ingredients too quickly(I used a benzyl peroxide cleanser and the adapeline gel and my skin got HORRIBLE😭)The biggest thing that has helped me this time is to keep it simple and slowly introduce actives. In 2 weeks I will introduce salicylic acid exfoliant . I hope this helped🫶🏼 the biggest thing it to be consistent and be patient. Results take time😄

Earlier my facial skin looked dull all the time, even upon waking. But following I did some research and made some adjustments, my face started glowing within a short span of weeks. Here's what I did: I consumed a proper diet that included items such as lentils, roti, green vegetables, and rice. This assisted nourish my body from the inside. I applied a face wash with the right pH level and had black rice water. I chose the Litleeextra riceberrry face wash, and it worked wonders for my skin. I formed it a habit to drink a minimum of 2 liters of water daily. I engaged in physical activity on a daily basis, which made me sweating and removed impurities out of my body.

[@ranjansrivastava40811]

This face wash provides sufficient moisture to your face, from my point of view, it properly cleanses your face. Ricebberry facewash is helpful for those living in areas with a lot of dust levels.

I hardly ever write comments but I just had to. I want to thank you both, I have struggled with bad acne since I was on a birth control injection called Depo (please do not use this method of birth control, it may be easy to just get a injection every so often but it WILL ruin your skin and health!!) now that I’ve been on regular pill birth control for a few years my acne stopped being so aggressive. However, I was left with the worst scars, I was so self conscious. I’ve tried everything but nothing seemed to work to stop the minor acne and get rid of the scars. I’ve been to the dermatologist nothing they did helped and I couldn’t afford to keep going as I have other things going on health wise. So I kind of gave up on my skin and accepted the deep, dark scars and minor painful acne spots. That was until I stumbled across your videos and found this one in particular. I started using the products recommended and it was insane the results I got. I literally almost cried when I realized my face hasn’t been this clear since I was in 8th grade. I’m so incredibly happy, I really began to think it was impossible for my skin to look good again. Thank you again for giving those who may not be able to see a dermatologist/esthetician educated guidance. You guys are saints I swear!!!

I’ve usually preferred to use all my actives at night and opt for just cleansing and sunscreen in the morning. So when i was doing a bunch of different actives in the past, i would kind of A/B it. So MWF was routine A which was retinoid + moisturiser, and other days were routine B which was SA+ BP + moisturiser. I stopped doing all of that when i did my second round of low dose accutane, then i had my PCOS treated somewhat but acne is popping up again so i think i need to start getting back to a routine with more actives.

This was my routine (5 months ago) before I went to a derm resident: Day skincare routine: 1. Normal face wash (I think it was aveeno acne and Laroche posay hydrating one) 2. De la cruz acne treatment (sulfur) 2. Faded by topicals cream 4. Cerave lotion 5. Sunscreen + sun visor (when going out) Night skincare routine: 1. Normal face wash/double cleanse 2. Face theory azelaic acid (10%) 3. Differin gel 4. Cerave lotion UPDATED: (Started 01/05/2023) Day skincare routine: 1. Laroche/ BP (every other day) cleanser 2. Clindamycin 3. Metronidazole 4. Cerave lotion 5. Sunscreen (Elta MD/BOJ/Cetaphil)+ sun visor Night skincare routine: 1. Normal face wash/double cleanse 2. Clindamycin 3. Face theory azelaic acid (10%) 4. Tretinoin (0.025%) 5. Cerave lotion Note: At first I used Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) 2.5% leave on from Paula's Choice that i had been using it fine (it was irritating a lil at first especially when I newly started using 2.5% from neutrogena it was years ago but they discontinued it so I bought the PC one) UNTIL I was like I want faster results and started using BP leave on with adapalene for a week I think (TOO IRRITATING), so I switched to using adapalene one day and BP one day (leave on) I think my skin barrier was really damaged so had to take a few days off and stuff until I could easily use adapalene everyday. I don't think I continued with BP. Later after a month or so I bought panoxyl 4%, started using it everyday for 3 days and it dried my skin out so I backed out and honestly didn't use as much as I could've. I did see a difference with my first skincare routine, my acne/ rosacea burden was reduced and my skin became SMOOTH..I still did get pimples but not as much as I used to. Then I went to a derm resident doctor got prescription tretinoin 0.025%, clindamycin, and metronidazole prescribed, and I have been religiously using my routine everyday...it's been a month and I do see my pimples got significantly reduced (was not breaking out almost at all) but I just got 3 pimples 2 days ago lmaoo I think because my cycle is very close. I do still get random redness I think because of rosacea. I also have broken capillaries under my eyes, sides of the nose, and cheeks. I am thinking of saving money and getting Vbeam laser in future hehe. Anyways imma try this routine that I created with prescribed stuff for 3 months and see the results. P.S. I went to a resident derm because I have medicaid and it covered the doctor's fee and I got all my prescription topicals for FREE. Plus an attending doctor also examined a lil. I have also always documented my acne/rosacea journey since 6 years ago loll, and I had some severe pics of my face from some months or a year ago that I showed them as well. The derm did say I know a lot about medicine hehe and that I am using the right stuff, and I can continue using them, but I have removed the sulfur for now since this new routine also has a lot of actives in it. I think adapalene made me strong enough to use tretinoin everyday now. I recently added faded topicals back in my morning routine.

my routine is pretty close to your old one. The only difference is I used azelaic acid during the day (Paula’s choice) and placed my adapalene gel directly on dried skin. And I used Aveeno Moisturizing Bar when not using an acne cleanser. Your second one is very prescription heavy but as long as you find something that works for you, it’s a win.

I only have the capillaries and redness to take care of as well as some PIE/PIH from older pimples.

Adapalene did transform my skin for the best, especially in terms of texture and brightness. Saw a massive difference within the first year of use. Also helped me get rid of big angry hormonal pimples. However, I do still break out - spots looks smaller and tend to go away quicker - but still leave red marks which last forever. I don't find it particularly drying anymore, however even applied over a moisturiser I think it disrupts my skin barrier quite a bit (I use no other actives really)

I have suffered with acne for 30 years with severe face, neck, back, and chest. Skin routine does help, but you need to address internal issues first. I was on Accutane twice for six months both times with a double pill dosage and it drastically reduced my acne. Until my late 40s, I changed my diet and this helped dramatically. No sugar, no dairy, no fast food, reduce and eat better carbs. Basically, if you eat crap then you are going to look like it. I also incorporated intermittent fasting. This may not work for everyone, but it helped me. I added a skin routine after this change and now my skin is under control.

My mom mentioned my skin looked irritated and not like acne at all. I switched to Cervae hydrating cleanser, the moisturizing cream and the healing ointment. My skin cleared up in a week😂 Less is more sometimes.

[@Imanixo2]

You use the cream under the ointment ? Or different times a day

[@memoonasaeed4408]

Morning 1 - cleanse = any gentle cleanser 2- treat = azelaic acid if have dark spots, otherwise salicyclic acid 3 - protect = sunscreen Night 1- cleanse = salicyclic acid facewash / benzoyl peroxide facewash 2 = adaplene / tretinoin 3 = moisturizer >cream based if have dry skin, gel/ lotion based if have oily skin

[@Jyotirshikha]

Is it okay to use retinoid after salicylic acid cleanser?

[@memoonasaeed4408]

@@Jyotirshikha yes if tolerated, watch videos of dr dray on this she has detailed video on sa cleansers

[@okxhieu]

wait so why don’t we use a moisturizer in the morning?

I'm 31, and I've been struggling with acne since I was 13. This routine has changed my life .I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore, but I like what I see.yiu guys are the best

[@HipsterBeautyUnivers]

I love the handout! Thank you 💗

Tailoring is expensive. Whether it's your acne routine or your clothes. Whether it costs time or money- it's expensive. It took me over 10 years to tailor my face routine and I'm still working on it. Can't afford going to see a personalized derm, but I haven't given up. Thanks for all you do to help, Docs. Keep it up!

Tailoring can make less expensive clothes seem more expensive and can make less expensive products more effective.

I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment, but I just downloaded the acne routine you guys left in your bio! You asked and I’ll gladly answer: this video is SUPER helpful as someone who has suffered greatly from acne for almost 10 years, particularly because I can’t see my dermatologist as frequently as I’d like to. With how many simple (but very important) questions I always have about the order in which I should be applying products, and also just making sure I won’t cause any unnecessary irritation and inflammation (or extra dryness, either), it really helps to have a channel like this one where actually licensed professionals give advice on topics like prevention treatments and daily vs nightly routines (with a little wiggle room and variation in them, because as you said, everybody’s skin is different). Thank you so much for helping me work with my skin instead of fighting it, and for helping me overcome my anxiety and indecisiveness along with improving my self-confidence, as well. I’m SO glad you’re both here, and I hope you truly understand what an immensely positive impact you have on all of us every time you take the time to create and post content :).

Literally the only videos on KZbin I’ll watch all the way through. Love y’all!

Yes, the list would be helpful Dr.Shah, thank you 😊

For my Acne skin care routine: Night time: 1. Paula choice exfoliate 2%BHA 2. Differin gel 3. The ordinary niacinamide 4. Esstee lauder advance night repair Morning rountine: 1.Paula choice exfoliate 2.esstee lauder 3. Elta MD sunscreen I also let each product absorb to my skin 5mins before apply another product. Let me know what you think about my routine and I'm all ear to hear yours 🎉

[@96unique2]

Are you using BHA and differin gel at the same time, or are u alternating using each?!!

[@meizhou9279]

Wow! That sounds… harsh. Do you use moisturizer?

[@zoes4645]

You use PC exfoliant twice per day 🙀 plus you use it and retinol in the same routine 🙀🙀 How is your skin barrier? I'm curious!

[@gabriellaaxo]

I think the exfoliation before differing can be irritating, I would alternate nights tbh

[@adeleisnamedafterme]

focus more in hydrating your skin and repairing your skin barrier and alternate the days you use differin and paulas choice BHA.

Ive been dealing with my hormonal acne every now and then but I found you Doctorly and it doest really helps me a lot, Benzoly Peroxide and Adapalene was really helps me at lot. Now im only dealing with the marks but Niacinamide, Sunscreen and a good moisturizer makes it all my marks fades easily. Just be consistent. Doing this for almost 2yrs now

[@amixeblu]

I had acne on dry skin in my 20s (hormonal), got solved with BC, a light pill (Mercilon), but I have been using Nivea's blue tin as my main moisturizer since I was 3 years old. I am 50 now, still using it. Yes, since the age of 3, when my mom started this on me thanks to our internist. If there is one constant in my skincare, it is that blue tin. I don't think I look half bad for being 50. ;)

[@shsagefun]

Appreciate the handout idea! Thanks!

[@camdrewdye7996]

You information was very thorough and easy to understand, well done! Thank you for the downloadable handout! My only suggestion would be to include all the different brand options you mentioned in the video instead of just one of the examples mentioned.

[@TheKayleeanna]

Great analogy Dr. Shah! The tailored clothing analogy helped me. 🙃

[@FaithieUganda]

That's so cool what Corrina has done

[@michellecosta1204]

Love this! Can you do a routine for anti aging?
