The Ordinary Salicylic Acid, Which Is Best? | Doctorly Reviews

[@khalilahd.]

Paula’s choice, the ordinary and debunking skin care myths have literally saved my skin. You guys are awesome, thanks for another great video ☺️💜

[@Doctorly]

Ahh thanks for trusting us Khalilah!

[@parisinthe30sx]

Have you tried Paula's choice 1% retinol? I was thinking about trying it because nothing else seems to work for me

[@riecheltabot6813]

@@parisinthe30sx did you try the 0.3% retinol from paula's choice yet? 1% might be harsh for your skin. Ooh to notice if a product works, apply 2hrs before you go to bed(for absorption of product to your skin). You will notice if a product is working after 2-6months. No magic, it takes time before you see results

[@crissymiller4951]

which paula products u use?

[@riecheltabot6813]

@@crissymiller4951 for retinol paula's choice, i use the 0.3% retinol + 2% bakuchiol treatment. It works for me. I also use paula's choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant(contains salicylic acid). For my body i use paula choice weightless body treatment 2%BHA.

Congratulations! Beyond MY wildest dreams, because of your gift of this channel, my skin is acne-free and looks (and behaves) better than it has in decades. Thank you for your recommendations and advice. Your humour and natural demeanors are refreshing and I hope you can celebrate 2 million followers soon.

[@Doctorly]

Thank you so much :) Ahh this comment made my day

[@jojo-dv3uy]

any tips ?? out of your experience 🙄🙄 victim of acne since 2010🤧

[@thinkforyourself828]

Paula's choice BHA changed my skin. If you massage it into your skin as opposed to putting it on cotton and just swiping it on, it really makes a huge difference and one bottle lasts me over 8 months.

[@morgianasartre6709]

Thank you for the tip 😊

[@vallerianredha8822]

Yes,I never use cotton pad to apply toner/essence,it always soak up the product

[@chaoticgood8645]

Does it last 8 months with the standard size (4 oz) or the value size (8 oz)? I've been wanting to try it for months but haven't made the jump for the price and how long it would last me.

[@RiginaPhalange]

@@chaoticgood8645 I've been using the small bottle for over 6 months and it's still half way there

What does it do?

[@LaJessChelle]

I’ve been really enjoying the anhydrous solution. It’s completely non-irritating for my dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin!

[@TheRealNehan]

Does it make your face appear shiny?

[@LaJessChelle]

@@TheRealNehan Yeah… just like any oil does. I personally like to look as shiny as possible… but, of course… it’s not for everyone.

[@jjk1990]

do you use it everyday or only some days a week?

[@LaJessChelle]

@@jjk1990 I use it every morning since my skin can tolerate it just fine.

I'm so happy for you guys. 😭 I started following around spring 2021 and you've helped my skin so much. I'm actually seeing a dermatologist now, not blindly being frustrated with my skin anymore like I have for 10 years (dry, sensitive, acne prone). Wishing you all the best! ❤️ And once again, thank you.

[@BlackRainbow84]

I'm 37 and struggle with adult acne, tried sooo many moisturizers and found the Neutrogena clear and defend with salicylic acid cleared my skin. But it's expensive to buy every 2 weeks and you don't get much in a tube. So I'm going to try the ordinary salicylic acid in squalene. My skin is breaking out a bit from retinol and I like to use salicylic acid on my nights off from it. Thanks for this helpful vid guys, love from Australia!

Love your content!!! Can you guys PLEASE PLEASE do a pregnancy skincare routine?! I literally have been using retinol/ salicylic acid for the past two months. And I just found out I’m pregnant and now I have to stop! Which I am so sad about but I’m so lost on where to even start!

[@BrendaYM2013]

Why do you have to stop?

[@chaoticgood8645]

@@BrendaYM2013 idk about salycilic acid, but there's different precautions you have to take with products when you're pregnant (that normally everyone else won't have to worry about) and I'm pretty sure retinoids are one of those. But that's why we ask our doctors and check our labels when this situation arises :)

[@ezura4760]

Bakuchiol seems to be the best retinol replacement during pregnancy. It’s not as strong and has been studied and tested by pregnant women.

[@silviakhan1073]

@@BrendaYM2013 Some products can cross to the developing fetus causing harm. Hair coloring is another one to avoid unless some brands have eliminated the guilty ingredient. Best to always ask your doctors to be safe and have a beautiful healthy baby.

[@samee7253]

Azelaic acid is pregnancy safe if you have acne. Try colloidal oat masks there’s one from face n earth and Mary Ruth probiotic spray for face. And Bakuchiol serum is safe to use as this mimics the effects of a retinol. Really safe. Also stay away from preservatives like phenoxythenol, and sodium benzoate that includes citric acid as the two combined creates a known carcinogen called benzene.

The anhydrous solution has blown me away. It is the ONLY salicylic acid product I’ve ever been able to tolerate. It is really helping with sebaceous filaments on my nose.

[@waltervinson2154]

Thank you! Even if I use a salicylic acid product at 0.5%, I still react with redness and irritation. Since day 1 of using, not an ounce of irritation.

[@cocoazen]

I'm with Dr. Shah, I use salicylic acid for several different conditions, not just traditional acne

[@ariane3693]

Congrats on the million subscribers! Ordinarily with my skin I would never be referred to a dermatologist considering the worst my skin ever encountered is some sabaceous filaments. That's why I absolutely love your video's so much. I can truly buy effective products instead of wasting money on ineffective expensive creams with weird ingredients and now know how to tailor my facecare beyond "do I have oily or dry skin". Thank you so much for the education and here is to your next million subscribers!

Hmm. Does Dr Shah's love affair with salicylic acid compare to Dr Maxfield's marriage to niacinamide?? 🤔

[@aundrealauzon]

Huge congratulations on 1 million subscribers. So happy for you Doctors!

[@sherllytanara244]

You guys were beginning to mention on when is the best time of the day to use these salicylic acid at 5:53 and decided to talk about the usage at the end instead. But I think you guys forgot about it as at 9:13 you guys only mention what skin type is more suitable for which one. How can I incorporate this salicylic acid anhydrous solution? I use vitamin C in the morning and tretinoin at night. After watching your videos I actually build a skin routine that is addressing my own personal skin concern using products that you’ve recommended.. So far, I am extremely happy as my skin never looked better! THANK YOU!!

[@MsLinoi]

I have combination skin & I've been loving the anhydrous solution. Currently I use it at night under a lightweight oilfree moisturiser, but I'll probably use it with a heavier moisturiser in winter. I love that I don't need to worry about it making my dry areas worse, but it's not heavy enough to make me more oily since it's squalane based.

[@itsmeskyeeeee]

What's your experience so far?? I also have combination skin (and reallyyyyyyyyyy sensitive skin as well). Does it help getting rid of blackheads and large pores? Thanks a lot.

[@MsLinoi]

@@itsmeskyeeeee it definitely helps with blackheads, my pores are enlarged in general & I had to accept that there's no quick fix for it. It's slowly getting better (thanks to ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide & azelaic acid) but it just takes time! If your sensitive you're probably gonna love this! There's no irritation at at all. I usually use it at night & finish of with a light moisturiser.

You guys are so awesome I have changed my entire skin care routine based on your videos!! Unfortunately most dermatologists don't know products the way you do.

[@justicejones7646]

I use the anhydrous solution as a prewash scalp treatment. Helps with dandruff and oily hair & scalp. I just part my hair, drop a couple drops down the part, rub it in, then move over a half inch and repeat. I do this 30 min-1 hour before my shower to let it penatrate my scalp. It has been really helping me. It takes down the oiliness without drying out my skin. I do it 1-2x per week.

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

You could just use T-Sal or a dupe.

[@justicejones7646]

@None OfURbusiness yeah, I combine it with head and shoulders shampoo. I've used 3% salicylic acid shampoo, but I don't really like it. It kind of dried out my scalp and makes the flaking worse at first.

Love the blooper! Thank you for comparing the Ordinary’s 3 salicylic acid products. I tried the anhydrous version and it caused a rosacea flare-up. I prefer the regular water-based version because I can rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of pore-cleaning (the anhydrous version needs to be washed off, which exacerbates my rosacea flare-ups).
