[@user-et7kp]

you deserve so much more fame i hope your account grows very big! i love your personality and youre also very pretty

[@ellerchu]

Awh, thank you SO much for the love and support. It means the world!

[@campbelllllllll]

your videos are so well thought out. i appreciate how you preface the products you list with your skin type and the cause of your acne. we have similar skin types, so i really love that you made the point that the products still may not work on my skin. skin type is something that’s easy to overlook when you’re looking for recommendations online, so i really love how open you are!

[@ellerchu]

I appreciate your thoughtful comment and positive feedback. 🫶 I’m happy my videos can help you!

[@campbelllllllll]

@@ellerchu i’m still watching and you shared our pimple patch secret! how dare you😂

[@gwync3092]

You are my favourite beauty influencer. When I need a new product like blush, bronzer or foundation, I always check out your youtube channel or tiktok to see your recommendations. I trust you so much because we have the same skin type and skin tone. I love your channel so much, thank you for being a representation for the girlies who have acne prone skin. I appreciate how you give so much detail on each product and how you don't influence your viewers by jumping on trending products and immediately influencing us to purchase. Thank you for teaching us to be mindful with our beauty purchases.

[@ellerchu]

I’m so grateful you enjoy my content. Thank you for supporting!!

Someone get this girl on more PR lists !!!! also your vids are so helpful! i dont really have oily skin but i do have vary dry skin, and it always get flaky when i do my makeup, so if anyone know tips on that let me know :]

[@ellerchu]

Thank you for watching. 🥰 You could try a cleansing oil to gently remove flaky skin and a hydrating primer before making. But that’s the best I got though, I wish I could help more!

[@469ka37]

That's very much so a skin prep issue. Either from too little or too much. If it's too much it's because you have too many layers and it's starting to peel. Not to mention none of it is getting to your skin since it's just sitting on top. If it's too little, I'm guessing the flaking is caused by 1) not exfoliating prior to application either use a chemical one the night before or a physical one the day of. Try The Ordinary's Skin Barrier serum (be care ful because it's pink and makes the skin look pink) along with a good moisturizer. And let that sit before following with a moisturizing primer or just a thin/gel moisturizer.

[@myconfusedmerriment]

Those patches are my favorite!! I cracked up when you were like “don’t make these blow up, this is our secret.” 😂😂 So glad to find your channel because pretty much all the beauty channels I watch have dry skin, so I never know if their skincare/base product recs will work for me. 😩 Thank you for doing the research for us oily/hormonal acne gals!! 🙏

[@kellygreengables3936]

Love this video (and that someone else knows about the Hanhoo patches)! Here's some more tips from another acne prone, oily (and brown skinned if that helps anyone) girl: Color correct dark spots and redness to reduce the need for concealer. Use THIN layers of product. You need less than you think. Figure out what ingredients and/or claims do NOT work for you and avoid them. Stick to what works. Find soft brushes!! The abrasive hairs can aggravate your skin.

[@ellerchu]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@469ka37]

OMG i love that Huda color corrector too because it comes in a dark pink shade for me which has been really nice lately because orange has just been looking orange on me lately. As for holy grails, first one is the _Artista Fine Brush Tip eyeliner_ from AOA in all of their shades. It just works especially as someone with more creasy eyelids, the brush tip doesn't skip like felt tips do. Next one is the _NYX Fat Lip Oil_ its just my absolute favorite, well tinted even with my darker lip and always compliments whatever lip color i have underneath. I have it in 3 shades and im running out of 2 so i use it often. _Fenty Heat Gloss_ specifically in the shade Hot Chocolit. The best neutral brown gloss that honestly saves a lot of my lipsticks when I'm not vibing with it. And lastly the _aboutface Performer Foundation_ because it has true olive undertones for all and she just wears really nice, very skin like and lasts for however long i need it to even on the 100°+ days.

[@ellerchu]

Yessss, love reading all your favorites 👏👏

Literally can't believe ur not a bigger creator 😭. I look forward to watching all your videos and am so happy I found your channel 🫶🏽

@@ellerchu Of course! At this point, you are LITERALLY my favorite beauty channel to watch 😭. Your reviews are so honest and as an acne prone oily girl, I appreciate this kind of video that much more 🫶🏽

[@jayscott778]

Guys I had hormonal acne too and was cleared it up was eating kimchi and dill pickles anything with tons of probiotics and prebiotics !!! And taking a hormonal balance supplement. I use clearstem

[@ellerchu]

Interesting!! Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@solanarosenberg2159]

elle how are you not famous! I love your videos so much. Petition to get elle to a milion followers. Please dont ever stop making videos !!!!!

[@ellerchu]

I’m working on it 😉

[@lavayuki]

I used to have hormonal acne and the contraceptive pill got rid of it, when I was on it I never got a single breakout. I have been on it for over 10 years and have not had any acne since.... I know some people don't like it or get side effects, but I think I was one of the lucky people who got zero side effects. I loved that DHC cleansing oil, SKIN 1004 sunscreen and also the MUFE powder foundation which I use to retouch makeup. The Muji cleansing oil is also similar and pretty good, and there are other similar korean sunscreens to skin2004, like the haru haru chemical one, scinic, round lab and beauty of joseon worth trying

[@ellerchu]

I find that I still get acne with the pill, but it’s definitely not as bad. Maybe I’ll try the Muji cleansing oil one day!

[@lavayuki]

@@ellerchu It depends on the pill, it's mostly the anti androgen ones like yasmin and yaz etc that work better than the pro-androgenic ones which actually cause acne. Might be worth asking your doctor about it

[@hiba.x]

I literally love your channel so much the quality and details of your videos are amazing and helpful since i have very acne prone skin aswell, you can tell that you put a lot of effort into them💓

[@ellerchu]

@@hiba.x I really appreciate your positive feedback. 🥹

[@Lslobo.]

I love the panoxyl 4%! It works soo good

[@ellerchu]

👀

[@lolwhat2628]

Ive tried so many of the skincare products you mentioned! And ive always wanted to try the dhc cleansing oil but i remember there was like a scandal about the founder/ceo or someone so i never tried it 😳😳

[@ellerchu]

Damn that’s the first I heard lol

[@lailaliriano1764]

Girl I was waiting for this video so much! Tysm for making this video. LOVE YOUUU

[@ellerchu]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@PiMGiRL107]

🙋🏻‍♀️The towel situation is definitely a thing for me. I have 7 towels exclusively for skincare. I contemplated 14 for each wash, but decided that was excessive.

[@ellerchu]

I feel you 😅

[@onimendez7735]

Yes, I've been doing the same since my early teens. I also change out my pillow case every night. Ever since I had an eye infection, I've continued to do the same. 😊

[@SoulmateVK]

Wow,i like how you looks without bangs❤

[@ellerchu]

I still have bangs! They’re just longer, which I also prefer.

[@itshope7813]

Love your vids I get so excited every time you post!!

[@ellerchu]

Thank you for always watching!!

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

That’s crazy I’ve tried all the skin care products you’ve mentioned except the same pimple patch brand and sunscreen. My all time holy grail is panoxyl benzoyl peroxide 4% (I do tend to use it almost every day). The dhc oil tried it years ago, but didn’t like the texture. I just finished a garnier micellar water and decided to try a balm for the first time, idk how I feel about it yet. I just repurchased cetaphil, had tried it a few years ago, had just finished a la roche-posay cleanser and it wasn’t as gentle as cetaphil. My skin has never agreed with salicylic acid, it always makes me break out, I’ve even tried waiting the “pruning” period but it just kept getting worse so now I just use Paula’s choice on my nose occasionally. My only other HGs are the Mary and May/skinmiso nose masks and lanbena mask, but I still struggle with black heads/sebaceous filaments . When my skin is dry the dermal sheet masks. I have combo skin I’ll check out the primer thanks

[@ellerchu]

Does your skin ever feel sensitive with 4% panoxyl everyday? Also do you use it morning and night? Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

@@ellerchu Thanks for reading my long comment and replying lol. So I bought a gentle cleanser (la roche-posey) to swap between them, but I ended up using both every day. I actually found that the other cleanser made my skin sting instead of panoxyl. I did use the 10% cleanser when I was younger and that for sure did burn my skin, but it still helped so much so I would still use it . I think this 4% one is newerish. I wash my face with cleanser at night in the shower, and in the mornings I just rinse with water and apply sunscreen. I probably would not use panoxyl in the mornings due to the sun. I found my skin preferred benzoyl peroxide through proactiv lol. The bp creams tend to be super strong too, so I’m glad I found this cleanser

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

Oops *”purging”

[@glitterbubbleworm]

I love the fit today!!!! (also thanks for the awesome content!!!)

[@ellerchu]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!! 🥰

[@tedoymisojos]

If I use Benzoyl peroxide less than 5 days a week my face explodes soon after that. Its unfortunate because it is irritating if you use it daily or close to daily. This year I started using a leave on micronized 2.5% every morning, and that turned out to be too irritating (but very effective) so slowly ive landed on washing my face in the mornings 6 times a week with again a micronized 4%-5% face wash (leaving it on for a few minutes and rinsing) and adapalene gel at night most nights. It controls the problem pretty well so far. Crossing my fingers! But yeah using this stuff makes my skin get super irritated if I sweat too much under sunlight, and dry up in very cold dry weather. Cant stop though.

[@ellerchu]

I hope it works for you!

[@tedoymisojos]

A couple of these products break me out for sure. Like the Loreal concealer. Enjoyed watching though. Def trying the It foundation.

[@ellerchu]

Yeah, everyone’s skin will react differently

[@mjones1538]

[@ellerchu]

Ahh thank you!!

[@elderj6863]

You should try the new sigma skin tint!

[@MukbangMondays]

As an acne prone sensitive skin girly I watched your older favorite concealer video, and I’m trying to decide whether I want to get the haus labs concealer you mentioned or the Lancôme concealer. I’m just scared because because I’ve heard that haus labs has caused a lot of people to break out 😭do you have a recommendation

[@OBXworld]

Thank you my brother struggles with acne so this helps.

[@ellerchu]

Happy to help 🫶

[@fabisparadise3141]

What’s the lip combo?? I love it!

[@abbyadams8163]

what are your thoughts on tretenoin? I have been using it for 5 months and I think its making my skin worse but finally looking better.

[@eledlgd2119]

Yes I need more videos like this! 😊❤

[@ellerchu]

Thank you for watching 🫶

[@madokaor3611]

Thanks for sharing. Although I have a different skin type but I do get monthly hormonal acne 😢 I don’t have texture skin and have very good skin except monthly break out. Would u consider to do monthly favors or makeup recommendations contents?

[@ellerchu]

I only share favorites when I have them, so I don’t always do them monthly! It ensures I truly love the products.

[@biancab5488]

hi i have a question! you seem to know alot about ance prone skin and its been such a struggle for me to find the right face wash and foundation. ive been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar +M Purifying Foaming Cleanser 400mL as a daily face wash 2 times a day. it helps with my ance alot, but it dries out my skin like crazy where i move my mouth and it feels stiff. do you think that i should lower the amount of times i use it to like 2 times a week rather than everyday? or would it be fine to use everyday without it damanging my skin. I also use the nars light reflectant foundation, and it breaks me out like crazy, is this foundation bad for ance prone skin?

[@lexireinert7799]

I feel so seen when you talk about how people with acne prone skin are often more hygienic and can be really nit-picky with the example of not wanting to use a towel on your face more then once. I am so specific about things like that but hearing u say it out loud makes me feel not as ocd😅

[@ellerchu]

Yes, I feel the pain! But it’s also okay to let go a little for your own confidence and mental health. 🫶

[@isabellelim2573]

I’m so sad I followed you cause I also have super oily skin and i have acne for about 12 years but I’ve tried majority of the products you mentioned in this vid and they DO NOT work for my skin😭now who do I follow 😭😭😭. Love you though! I’m just very lost now…how do find others?

[@ellerchu]

I think it’s probably better to understand your skin and how it reacts to certain ingredients and products instead of following people for recommendations! That’s my usual take on skincare. ♥️

[@francinegarciacarranza3430]
