THIS is Why You STILL Have Dark Spots in 2024

[@Emmanuelh89]

I’m 35 now and at this point I throw up my hands and throw in the towel. What’s the point of spending all my money on skin treatments if the majority of things that causes my acne can’t be helped. I’ve even incorporated exercising and having a healthy diet in my daily routine. This is just one fight I can’t win. God bless those who don’t have this problem.😔

[@ThePresentTimeNow]

God bless you. I’ve dealt with acne for over half of my life and I’m 32. I started using DIM supplements and it helped. It’s not a miracle worker, but it did help me. It was a very long and lonely journey with my acne so I understand. My acne was severe with very painful cystic acne that left me with scars that I’m correcting now. I advise you to start taking DIM, and get your hands on Retin A. If you can also take vitamin A, too. This creation will mimic Accutane, just in vitamin and topical form. I pray this helps you. I know how it is. Been there before.

[@benyamindaraveninwolf571]

DIM supplement thank me later

[@soblessed3157]

Acne can really affect us mentally and mess with our self esteem. I struggled with it for a long time and used so many things until I found dr dray on KZbin. I minimized my routine and I can honestly say LESS IS MORE. Maybe you can try a simple routine and visit a derm every now and then.

[@katechipata9934]

I didn’t have acne until I was 27. Now I’m 35 and have cystic acne on my face and a bunch of dark spots. It’s quite debilitating. I just cover with foundation as I research which products can help lighten the marks.

[@simplybri3608]

Have you tried tretinion & azelaic acid? Have you considered talking to a Dr about accutane

[@07ikkin]

I hate that every single time i get a little bump, it leaves a very dark scar. Finally got rid of the acne but now i cant rid the scars

[@hplifestylelessonsandfun9131]

Same. The smallest pimple will leave a scar on me! I’m so tired of this!

[@christelle810]

Try to put a patch whenever you have a pimple. It reduces inflammation. Cosrx or purito (korean brands)

[@07ikkin]

@@hplifestylelessonsandfun9131 I recently got Tretnoin from the dermatologist. I can see it helping already with the old scars.

[@Cocopuffshoney]

Exfoliate your skin

[@BlowUpTheOutsideWorld]

It's true. Newer dark spots disappear in a few weeks.

[@sobombeh]

I agree

[@whitneym8076]

I've been seeing a black dermatologist since January and she is really helping my acne/hyperpigmentation get under control. I've been suffering from acne since I was 10 years old. I am almost 38 and have hormonal/adult acne. My doctor prescribed an acne cream with tretinoin and benzoyl perioxide. She also recommended an eye cream for dark circles. I've been using the products in addition to my cerave products as instructed which has been really effective. I am very pleased with the results so far.

[@demetrianicole1657]

Hi, would you share which eye cream she recommended?

[@islandchick555]

Yes, I would also like to know the name of the eye cream. Please and thanks 😊

[@ThokoTwala]

SENSITIVITY! White people go red and brown skin goes darker when inflamed/sensised. I Treated skin sensitivity/inflamation and my skin got better.

[@tiyyas3022]

“Underneath my TIDDY” 😂😂 girl! You crack me up! I hope the treatment is helping

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

lmaoooo thank you! it did---now hopefully this weather stops threatening me so I have no more flare ups lol

[@THENEWSLYWORLD]

I have had the worst hyperpigmentation and because my skin is so light and scars are so dark it looks really really bad. It wasn’t until about a month ago that I have reduced acne breakouts and started seeing a difference in my scars. Consistency really is the biggest factor , and I recently started microneedling at home and it has been speeding up the process, and my scars are actually going away not just lightening up and my skin has become a lot smoother. But I understand microneedling isn’t something everyone try one should do at home you have to take a lot of precautions but it has been good to me

[@gorgeous95391]

Never had acne as a teenager and now am experiencing it in my late 20's. My issue is the dark spots once the pimple heels. Sometimes months Ive tried dermatologist only to be hospitalised from medication. Skin is sensitive . I dont wanna just by random things lately am so sad from the critisisms comments and looks i started becomin more desperate for a solution. For weeks i read up on kojic acid soap...deciding if i should try it...then today i came accross ur videos.

[@nativemoerisin6219]

Please do a video on what's the best foundation and coverage for people of color with melasma. Thanks.

Loved this video. Short and to the point.

I figured due to the length I'd had them that OTC gold bond dark spot (two tubes) did nothing for mine. But good to have confirmation.

[@jelicianorwood24]

Im 31 with acne scars and im just like.........I dont want to wear makup but face looks like raisen bread a little. LOL I dont now what to do.

[@kikipalmer5040]

Use 2% BHA liquid exfoliant from Paula’s choice. I am 31 too, this helped me

[@tupa24]

And also Dr Alexis Stephens

[@tiffcrew]

I just ran to my fridge and sho-nuff, my dermatologist prescribed Hydroquinone 5%..hopefully it’ll work👍🏾

[@tiffcrew]

Advised fridge storage will preserve use..

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

keep us posted!

[@Itissswhatitissss]

Yess I have the same for me 5% crème I have used it 2 months now and it does help a little bit and that is awesome for 2 months :))

[@curious_rose8865]

Be careful with using Hydroquinone, studies have shown it causes rebound hyperpigmentation after discontinued use

[@Kiki-AndBeyond]

Cyspera is the truth however, it is expensive.

[@db-gb5xi]

I believe Urban Skin Rx has a 5% cysteamine product.

[@knoname1092]

How long did it take before you seen results?

[@Kiki-AndBeyond]

@knoname1092 It works pretty fast. I started using it years ago. I wanna say 1 week definitely no more than 2 weeks. If you get it please wear sunscreen.

[@Smile-qs3gr]

Not to over share, but my issue is the jaw line and due to high hormones and I believe it, because when I had regular/good sex my face was clear, but now it's not regular it is back and worse😪. I have prescriptions and am still waiting for the results for 4 months.

[@EpicRealistTV]

Wow! First person to acknowledge sex as a factor finally. For women, it is a great factor. I've been married 16 years and my face stays so clear that most people assume I'm 21, but I am 37 with 5 kids. We have sex often. It really does help with more things than we realize! 😍

[@Nkay28]

I love all your videos i swear

Hopefully someone else can chime in as the only book I can think of is Dija Ayodele's book (UK).

I started treating my hair dandruff more seriously and I noticed my pimples stopped and my face became clear , I still don’t know the link between the two tho 😂😂

[@rayj599]

I never had to put in a lot of work after having 2x chemical peels it helped get rid of my acne &! AF micro needling didn’t do anything to help with my dark marks

Really what chemical peel helped with your acne please I am 2 months in on tretinoin and I am going through the purging phase

[@Always_a_lady05]

I went to Dr Henry today for my first micro-needling session to help treat hyperpigmentation and it isn’t for the weak! She did a great job though

[@yenoak9730]

Hi, Danielle! Thanks for the thorough video. I am getting laser hair removal on my chin and neck. I have some dark spots from previous plucking and hair bumps. Would the laser also help with the discoloration (in addition to the hair removal)?

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Hey boo! Laser hair removal doesn’t directly help with dark spots, but because after time you grow less hair and remove it less, you lessen the likelihood of getting hyperpigmentation from removing the hair. You’ll still need treatment to fade the dark spots.

It's in a separate video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5a9l2uhj8mMgqc. The spots on your body you've had since a teenager will be very tricky to treat though.

[@britneyt9253]

What do you think about skin color tinted sunscreen? And do you recommend them over sheet tint? Are they any better

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

If you can find a shade that matches your skin well AND you use enough (2 mg/cm2 skin) then tinted sunscreens particularly tinted mineral sunscreens have shown to be great in a dark spot prevention/treatment routine. Problem is I haven’t come across a huge amount of good tinted ones-but you can find the ones I did find to be nice in my sunscreen playlists

[@andreafranklin9652]

Ultra Violette is great. An Australian Co. They have a range of shades you can add to sunscreen. It can't be worn on it own because you would need too much.

[@DinaOser]

Beautiful, *Sista 😊
