WHY YOU HAVE OILY SKIN 🤔 DERMATOLOGIST

[@allie9661]

I hate having oily skin it’s harder to achieve that clear glass skin compared to other skin types ☹️ my large pores, greasy skin and stubborn sebaceous filaments won’t allow it.

[@snatchthesnitch7935]

[@beautifulhope861]

I totally understand. My whole face is covered with large pores even when I was on 1%tretinoin for a year before I got pregnant. I've had this since I was 13 and I'm 28 now😮‍💨

Do you use 2% salicylic acid? It's a great blackhead melter.

Yes i have the same exact problem and nothing really seem to help. But some periods for some reason can be better then others and then boom my skin becomes super oily and shiny and i look super sweaty in my face...

[@shade247]

I feel like a grease monster because of it. It ruins my self esteem. Plus, I love playing with make up, but can’t because it just melts off. I take a high dose of meds for it but it doesn’t help.

[@violets-for-roses]

You're the voice of reason. Some people will insist that using "harsh" foaming cleansers will make your skin compensate by producing more oil. Same goes with oily hair scalps. I think you're one of few skincare channels that doesn't demonize cleansers.

I inherited my oily skin from my mom. The good thing is she is 70 and doesn’t look it. I’m in my 40’s and people say I don’t look my age. I tried for years to “fix” my oily skin. Even with a healthy lifestyle (exercise, drink only water, good food) and a good skin care routine I still have oily skin. It’s genetics. I have found skin care and makeup tricks that help (some I learned from you and you mentioned some of them today) but I have accepted that my skin is oily and it’s part of me.

[@relaxcalmly1742]

As an oily skin woman, there’s way more negatives. Idk how I inherited it because no ppl from both my parent’s side are oily. No matter what kind of food they eat, it doesn’t affect them as much as it would affect me. The oily skin look affects acne, makes pores worse and looks worse, makes you feel dirty, dirt and dusts likes to stick onto your face, hair and bangs likes to stick when it touches your face and looks dirty afterwards, your skin feels heated, it is unpleasant to touch, it doesnt look flattering especially with acne popping everywhere. It’s so sad and embarrassing when my nieces wants to touch my face or my spouse does, or cheek kiss and hugs with my face to theirs and it transfers or they feel it. Sigh 😔

Retinoids or Retinol is a good long-term strategy. It doesn't change your skin overnight, but by and by, it's appearance will improve - including reduced pore size. And yes, SA helps clean out those pores in the meantime. I've found leaving an SA cleanser on the skin for 2-3 min every morning the most effective as well. Creams or toners with SA do not work nearly as well for me.

At 38 I’m thrilled with my oily skin and hair. It took a lot of years to accept it and understand it’s hormonal so no amount of people on the internet saying I’m dehydrated or need to “train” my scalp.

[@sebumpostmortem]

Wait for the 40' s. It' s like if someone had stopped the clock. You' ll need to show your ID more and more often😉. "Training" the scalp is a tricky concept. There' s no need to shampoo a NORMAL- normal to dry scalp daily like no tomorrow as some people do. That' s why it becomes oilier faster as a defense. They think they are "training" it when basically they are listening to an overstripped scalp and washing the day when the oil appears. If the scalp produces an excess of oil and you know that androgens are the cause, what tf is gonna be trained, ovaries? My hair lasts perfect one week (I even need specific conditioner for scalp) calves lenght, my body is also an aligator but my face is the oiliest ever.🤦🏻‍♀️ Miss Genetics is my cause, my testo is way under the cis-woman average. I' m sick & tired of being asked: "How did you train your hair to be so long, shiny and silky? What is the secret?" and "Do you know what will reduce your oily skin? Have you ever tried [insert here any food or nonsense ingredient]"? The answer is "no secret" and "no, thank you" just 🧬G T C A🧬, period. Isotretinoine worked because it literally modifies DNA🤷🏻‍♀️ One day, when someone with dry skin complains about lines and wrinkles or someone complains about dry itchy scalp, we should politely suggest to "train" the sebaceus glands and hair follicles to produce more oil 😅🤣.

Very nice. I have oily skin and here in Brazil most people also do, so a lot of great national and renowned international brands, e.g. La Roche Posay, Vichy, Eucerin, Avène, Cetaphil, Skinceuticals etc, make sunscreens for oily and acne-prone skin targeting Brazilian people. Sunscreens have a matte finish, pore blurring effect, and active ingredients to treat your skin and reduce sebum production. They are great.

[@KM-fk1jn]

As an oily gal, I love Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy sunscreen. It goes under makeup beautifully and does not pill or breakdown or cause breakouts.

I love zinc for my oily parts. La Roche Posay serozinc spray is great, I think it's zinc sulphate? . Mattifies down the skin, gives hydration and works well as a finish produkt over makeup and other skincare. My BHA has zinc and I love using my BHA product in the AM to keep the oils better controlled during the day. Zinc works great for my rosacea redness aswell. The sunscreens I love for oily skin are EVY (brown bottles) and Paula's Choice Calm suncreen for oily combo skin. The yellow tube from Dr. Dennis Gross is great but freakishly expensive. I also love getting hydration from my toners instead of a serum. More lightweight. Niacinamide is good, but gets too hyped up. And yes, it is in everything.

Alright, so I normally don't comment, been watching for awhile now, and have been slowly integrating benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid in my skincare routine. To start off, I began utilizing a 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash over the past year. This massively helped with my acne and pretty much cleared, despite a few lingering mini dark spots. My face also looked a bit dull lately, the complexion was lacking. Over the past two months I have been also using the original orange formula neutrogena oil free salicylic acne wash. I slowly started using it and integrating it into my routine because I saw a lot of consumers experienced irritation, but for me it seemed to do the opposite. It actually felt like it moisturized my skin oddly. With that, I am now utilizing the salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide at the same time twice a day, and my skin is extremely clear and not dry at all. I use them both twice a day morning and night, I know it's a bit excessive but for me it seems to be working. I have extremely oily skin....am I doing long term damage to my skin barrier, or is this okay?

[@allie9661]

I use panoxyl benzoyl peroxide and I noticed it makes my skin dull as well. I can’t switch because it’s the only thing that keeps pimples away.

[@jessicavallee3831]

I had oily, dehydrated and congested skin (which I had initially mistook for dry, acne prone skin) and didn't use sunscreen daily. After learning about skin health I worked on the hydration first and started wearing sunscreen daily, then a few months later got the congestion (and subsequently the acne) under control. Fixing those made the oiliness temporarily like fountain day and night. Then I started using retinoids/retinol, hahaha not oily anymore; now I have to back up and prevent dryness without triggering the congestion again... 😅

[@lygophilia4127]

I LOVE the Skin Aqua Rhoto Super Moisture UV Gel. It dries so fast and doesn't feel like there's anything on my face, maybe moisturizer, but it does not feel like the standard US sunscreen.

The best sunscreen I found is the "Elta MD physical" since it has niacinamide and that ingredient is the best friend for oily people ✨ it is tinted tho, it is very very light the tone, and it turns mate (the only physical sunscreen I know that actually does this), the only con is it pills if you rubb for too long (just apply it for 10 to 15 seconds at most) be fast with the application and you are good 👍🏻

[@misssoandso]

Nighttime, Cleansing balm and gentle cleanser together are game changers for my oily/combo skin. I use a thick moisturizing cream at night, such as CeraVe/Aveeno. I water cleanse in the AM, because cleansing more than once a day makes me feel dry and more oily ironically. Then I use same moisturizer, let it dry and apply Skin Aqua gel sunscreen. I use a clay mask 1-2x per week.

I'm almost 54 and I started using the following routine after receiving bits and pieces of advice from Dr. Dray and Doctorly. I use Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash both morning and night. At night I then follow with Neutrogena Stubborn Acne Treatment with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide over my whole face. On my drier areas of my face, I will follow up with CeraVe moisturizing cream. In the morning after cleansing, I use Neutrogena Gentle Skin Hydrator which has 4% niacinamide in it. After the hydrator dries, I use a pea size amount of OC Eight over my whole face. This simple routine has kept my usually severely oily, acne prone skin, clear and oil free. People who don't know me usually guess my age 10 - 20 years younger than what I am and I'm told this all the time. No kidding! And no, I don't use sunscreen (I've tried SO many in the past) because they either sting my eyes, face, makes me very oily, or breaks me out.

I have the oiliest skin and I have always had. I hate it. I tried everything, salicylic acid, niacinamide, clay masks, tretinoin, and lastly, isotretinoin. I am on a whole food plant based diet for years, I do sports, and I am healthy completely. Isotretinoin is the only thing that works, I am on a low dose (10 mg every day) for 1,5 years and honestly am terrified of stopping it, because my face is so oily that it effects my self-esteem in a bad way and I am ashamed of it. I am serious when I say this but I have never seen another human with such an oily skin As I have. 😥

[@sebumpostmortem]

I am EXACTLY the same. 10 mg a day is perfect to control our excess without suffering side effects. How it works when you stop? DON' T BE AFRAID 🖤. You remain like if you took the pills for some months, even years. Then, veeeeeeeery slowly, you start to become tiny tiny tiny bit oilier every day. I was terrified the first time also. What I can NOT tell you is how much time you will look like being on isotretinoine. It was 2 years my first time. Currently, at 48 yo, I' ve started a mini micro dose (5 mgs every 3 days) after 6 years of perfection. My derm could not believe it. He repeated in a loop: "I was sure that 2016 should be your last round😳🤯" And I' ve been using tretinoine every night since then. Nothing😒. No topical can help me to decrease my crazy production. In my case, it' s pure genetics. My nutrition and lifestyle is healthy simply for myself not because my skin reacts better to it. "The Cinderella Effect" is not gonna happen, don' t you worry. I hate my oil. I' ll always do. It' s the sensation, feeling I can' t control it buuuuut, my face is not normal. Not a single wrinkle.

From extream oil to extream dry (and so many other chronicle side effects). Also discipline is a factor. Patients tend to ignore the rules, drink, eat and do what they want and blame the medication😒. So, here, when you say "I took Roacutan", the stigma comes out and everybody says: RoacuSATAN? ARE YOU CRAZY? THIS IS VENOM, ROACUTAN DESTROYED MY LIFE!!!😱😰. We know that it can be life changing and my blood tests were and are always on point. So my liver is. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤.

Red really suits you Dr. Dray

Interesting...I have oily skin and was recommended by a dermatologist not to wash my face with cleanser (just water is fine) in the morning, just in the evening, it helped a lot.

[@AkaAshen]

My skins reallly strange, I never had oily skin growing up but since I turned about 27 my face is slick with oil very often, I don't get a lot of acne at all which apparently is common in oily skin, my skin care routine isnt too extra either, I use a mist spray with water to remove oil in the morning and then apply spf, in the evening I use a oat oil cleanser and then a water based cleanser for redness then apply a omega water cream with lipids. Thats it. It's really bothersome because how my skin appears from day to day can impact how I feel on that particular day, I feel it also really impacts my mental health.

[@Dan24.]

Same. I didn’t wash my face for 2 weeks not even with water and because of that my skin has become very greasy and oily. Even after washing everyday regularly it didn’t change so this will be the way my skin is going to be from now on. If you found anything that helps reduce oiliness I would appreciate advice!

I love you're talking about this topic I've always had oily skin an the annoyingness of wasteful products in the years past especially moisturizers luckly years ago I started using philosophy renewed hope in a jar then I was so sad when they stopped making it now they have a hope in a jar smooth glow idk if they just rebranded the other but it works just as good I'm so happy to know this journey has been for others too it can be very frustrating thank you for what you do :)

This video is for me lol good morning Dr Dray!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching

[@johnpaulamoranto3012]

Very informative!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching

[@johnpaulamoranto3012]

@@DrDrayzday I have been watching your videos since 2018. Your vlog helped me to pick better products. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I believe your vlog saved many people from skin issues and overspending on skincare products. I wish you good health and long life.

[@snatchthesnitch7935]

Aside from alcohol, try to look for sunscreen that has silica in it! Game changer ingredient for me too.

[@bend96]

Would rather have dry skin than oily skin. Oily skin smells bad, clogs pore, make your pillows smell bad and overall very irritating when you have glasses.

[@bieberfan6300]

Excellent as always ❤

[@isabellelim2573]

I have oily skin and I wash and exfoliate every single day day and night and use salicylic acid on top of my exfoliator every day and I still have white heads every. Single. Night. 😃

[@ericaerica8031]

I’ve had oily skin for most of my life and at 48, have very few wrinkles.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

I saw a huge decrease in my oiliness once I started on Tretinoin and added moisturizer consistently. Now I have a slight amount of oil but not enough to really care about. Moisturizer for oily skin, who knew?

[@lovehandles2464]

Thankyou Dr Dray for thinking about us bearded folk and our troubles with sunscreen and other products. I tried the skin aqua sunscreen and that one leaves no nasty residue in the beard area.

[@toobarahmankhan4998]

OMG! Dr Drey in makeup!! That's such a bomb!! You look so pretty ❤️

[@rosangelaolivares4426]

Yaaaas pilling is my biggest issue. Thankfully I have learned with you that less is better: double cleanse, moisturizer and tretinoin. Once a month vaseline and Sunscreen everyday all day long!!

[@alyshal417]

Happy Friday! I don’t have oily skin but tried the Hero cosmetics sunscreen and I think it would be good for oily skin for anyone looking for sunscreen 💙

I love that one 👍🏼

Thank you for the wisdom that you shared at the end if this video: "((can you imagine if the rest of our body was always out on display/ exposed ... ? ... unsolicited feedback))"

[@laibanush5431]

I don't know why people don't talk about climate.. oily skin in dry climate may need moisturizer, but oily skin in an extremely hot and humid climate do not need moisturizer! We already have excess amount of oil, moisture, hydration and sweat on our skin! Why add more? To let the acne bacteria party in excess moisture, oil and sweat and worsen our acne?

[@joanshealy1662]

Dr Dray is looking beautiful today in red ❤

[@cherryvanilla8400]

You are so kind Dr dray for calling all skin type people.. I hate looking in the mirror cos of my pores and shininess..makes me look like a man

[@marie01ism]

After using adapalene, my oily skin isn’t that oily anymore

[@MintyCooch]

Needed this ❤️

[@perseverance5284]

Nice Kirby back there 🩷🩷

[@curiousone6129]

Wow! Great makeup!

[@autumn1231]

I'm 66 year old man. I've always had oily skin but never had acne. Strangers often comment on my skin and how young I look. I've had friends pull me over at gatherings and will ask people that don't know me to guess my age. I've had guys (strangers) walk up and ask me what I do to my skin. Honestly I can't afford anything more than regular bar soap and that's it. My wife (don't judge me LOL) is much younger. She always says ...... "you're different".

[@Jaozedong-q5h]

lucky you

[@hoibsh21]

Oily skin isn't all bad. IF you're ever in jail you can escape by sliding between the bars.

[@parism5212]

Wow!!! You look so pretty today 🌸

[@yusufpacaci]

you getting beautiful day by day 🥰

[@PlayaX01]

Tret and tazorac def balanced my skin. Oil is there but not how it's used to be

[@ginkomioda5842]

Idk whether I'm obsessed by now or not, but it has never looked as dewy skin for me, it's always greasy/ disturbing shiny skin. I hate it.

[@julieann5697]

You look beautiful today!

You are awesome Dr.Dray🥰

Wow Dr Dray you look amazing in red. x

[@jessican6451]

I used to have very oily skin like 2 years ago now it's not oily (just very very little tbh). I think it's the products I use that helped.

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

I realized I had very oily skin in high school when my crush asked if I came from the gym. I said "No why?" and she barely spoke to me ever since 😭😭😭

[@Eteraz]

Looking lovely Dr. Dray. Love your eye makeup.

I have oily skin and the only sunscreen that doesn't bother my skin and isn't shiny at all is the La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF 30.

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

You look so pretty!☺️

[@SebastianoZanda]

I've tried everything from the topic side(adapalene, niacinamide, BPO, zinc, etc.), diet and so on. Right now my dermatologist put me on isotretinoin 5mg everyday. I really hope I'll work

[@anovalars5955]

Thank you for making this video, is very helpfull for who have oily skin. If u dont mind please make more video with considering oily skin condition if u explaining some skincare ingredients. Thanks ^^

[@xLeBang]

I don't have acne prone skin but I am SO SHINY. I've tried like 15 sunscreens based on recommendations on youtube and I still look like a discoball 🥲. The wvinic Korean sunscreen is the least bad I've had so far but still not suitable for me. I'll try the tip to not use moisturizer, let's see!

[@Dan24.]

I didn’t wash my face for 2 weeks (no moisture therapy) and it has turned my face extremely greasy and oily. My skin used to be dry and mat. It doesn’t only look bad it also feels very dirty and uncomfortable to the point that I don’t even leave my house anymore. I wish I just washed my face and never started with that nonsense I ruined my face and my life 😔
