Hope you enjoyed this chat! It was so much fun doing this video with Hannah - we're both massive nerds and have ADHD, and we don't see each other in person that often, so we went off on lots of interesting tangents that had to be cut out for clarity. Let me know what else you want me to cover in the future, particularly for less-talked-about skin conditions! You can follow Hannah on Instagram @ms_hannah_e, she also just started on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/channels/D9FRjdyT8OzIMHLKf09zkg.html
Hello, fellow ADHD-er 😊 I'd love to see a video on milia, please & thank you! I've just discovered that I get them, & had been getting them since I was about 12 y.o. 😱 Previously, I didn't know what they were, so I didn't know what to do. I would love to hear your advice! Thank you so much, as always, Michelle! 💙
Hi Lab Muffin Beauty, I was wondering about a video you did two years back Easy (5 Minute) D.I.Y Vitamin C Serum. Can you use this D.I.Y serum in other D.I.Y cosmetic product like sugar scrubs or lip scrubs?
I would love for you cover using products in different climates/environments and specific ingredients that should not be used for certain concerns. For example, I get dry skin and tried to use hyaluronic acid to help with this issue. However, since I live in a very dry climate it backfired completely. I am sure there are many ingredients that have caveats like this that just are not known because no one with the scientific expertise has laid it out for people in an accessible way. As an example there are probably occlusives and humectants that are a terrible idea to use if you in a dusty or air polluted location. And the options for topics to cover in this area continue on for quite a bit.
Hi Michelle. I love yr videos & I will confess that I am not impressed by many. You are real & knowledgeable. It seems that you are more interested in helping people than showing off your makeup for the day. I like that you might be a little bit older than some of the other UA-camrs, as I am older than you and appreciate your scientific knowledge I'm very critical (fortunately or unfortunately) and have no complaints about you or your videos whatsoever. I've seen a couple & now subscribe. Again, I don't love every UA-camr or product, so please take that as a compliment. I'm so happy to have found you & hope you read this comment ❤️❤️.
I was just diagnosed with rosacea -- pale white woman, age 33, and I've had various broken capillaries on my face my whole life. Would love to see more videos about rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and other conditions that aren't quite your typical acne!
@@devynryan1341 good to know early! I only found out because I started to break out around my mouth and it wasn't acne or fungal. Smash cut to a small round of antibiotics and some special creams later xD
@@queenwyntir 28, pale. had rocasea all my life. My mom and sister had it too. Been diagnosed only year ago,cause was stupid and didn't visit dermatologist...Combinated dry and oily, itchy, allergic skin.Not much of redness,more blood vessel. First I do cut every product with fragrances, essential oils and alcohols.Everything! Stoped using AHA/BHA exfolliators, only gluconaton (pha) or mandelic,lactic(aha) once in 2-3 weeks. Double cleanse system is enoght for cloged pores and acne. Personaly find out, best are moisturizers with MLE(MVE) technology. Like Cerave, Korean prof line CU-Skin. Most of my products from Cu-Skin. Especially serum with Troxerutin. Find out that Rutin is great antioxidant to train vessel,rear ingredient. Probiotics and lysate works the best to rejenarete and i`m more into Peptides. There is excellent serum from Bywhishtrend with ceramide and peptide. And I do like the Cica-Bariederm line from Uriage. Niacinamide is great 5% max for even skin tone and control sebum. All of my acne desapear after restoring barrier. I do have much of pigmintation, so willing to try Allies of Skin Tranexamic and arbutin serum,but this one is expencive.
Broken capillaries can't be fixed with cosmetics unfortunately.. but you can use some to reduce vasodialation. Only way to permanently reduce is laser or newer "thermocoagulation" treatments. Just be sure to do it all through a registered dermatologist/doctor IMO. For general redness try prescription creams like metrogel/metrocream or topical ivermectin.
rosacea is really interesting. i noticed when i moved away from moldy house that my skin calmed down. no more itching and burning and no more red cheeks! so people can have mold sensitivity - OR - something else environmental like sensitivity to the mites on our skin. it's so important to go to a dermatologist!
And a skin allergy test. I am allergic to sooo many things so my skin is always itchy, my upper respiratory areea is always irritated and my throat likes to swell. I am very allergic to dust mites and getting a new mattress with a dust proof and waterproof cover changed my life.
I was struggling with perioral dermatitis for 2 years without even knowing I had it! Luckily I saw a new doctor and they helped me clear it up. I’m super prone to flushing and starting to think I need to talk to my dr about rosacea 🤔 Thank you for this video!
I use organic castor oil for the mild rosacea on my cheeks. I see a reduction in the amount of redness. At night I rub a drop into my eyelids and it has significantly reduced my dry eye problem. I am 72 years old and really appreciate how much I have learned about skin care from your videos.
I don't think Rosacea is as common a skin condition as Acne is. I think only about 20% of white women will have it, usually ages 30 to 60! Whereas Acne is something about 80 to 90% of the population has at some point (it usually goes into remission after a few years or so). Rosacea is more common among Caucasians, whereas anyone can get Acne, Asians, African-Americans, etc! Also, Rosacea is usually a life-long problem with no known cure! We need a cure for all of these diseases!!
I don't think Rosacea is as common as Acne, which about 90% of the population will have AT SOME POINT! Some much worse than others! Rosacea mainly affects white light-skinned people in the Fitzpatrick Type 1 Category, over the age of 30!
As someone with 'pain in the butt' skin who is always terrified about reformulations because they inevitably upset my skin, I LOVE the new La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 formulation! I could only use the old formulation in moderation otherwise it upset my skin, but somehow this new formulation allows me to use it regularly which has been such a god send to my skin. Plus the texture is nicer and i have less problems with not rubbing it in enough and having white flakes in eyebrows/stubble. Will definitely check out some of the other products mention, Great video!!
This could not have been better timed! I'm looking into rosacea right now as my face is noticeably pinker than my neck, and my cheeks are constantly mildly irritated. I'll look at my skin barrier and go from there! Thank you!
@@_pb2 helps a lot! Since the 1st layer on your skin the “burning” feeling will disappear and the redness will be in 3 days 50 porcent less. Day by day will be you again believe me. I hope that you try this soon. I wish you a happy life and lifestyle! :)
Yes! There are so many subtle differences in skin conditions, it's always best to get them checked out by a derm - this video was definitely not meant to be a substitute for a proper diagnosis, but a bit of a push to get people to go book an appointment if it sounds familiar (rather than putting it off indefinitely, which is something I tend to do) and tips for management after a diagnosis or while waiting for one 😊
I've had rosacea most of my adult life. When I was younger it was more of just red-face and no pustules, but now I am experiencing both. This video really helps, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I have a moderate case of rosacea which I discovered by accident while seeing a dermatologist for my eczema and acne (yeah, l am lucky I know) . The things that made the biggest difference in my skin are Azelaic Acid 15-20% & LED light therapy.
I manage my rosacea by using the Skin1004 100% centella ampoule (drastically reduced the flushing frequency and intensity) and the Dermalex Rosacea cream (seems to control/stop broken capillaries). I use them both morning and evening and my sensitive skin is perfectly happy with them :)
I love this video! This came right on time as I just did a heavy duty micro needling session on myself this past weekend, and I’m currently focused on restoring my barrier this next 2 weeks. This video just confirmed a lot of the tenets I have been following regarding barrier renewal. I had to do my own research on barrier renewal when I diagnosed myself with perioroficial dermatitis (I’m a family MD) after using a sonic cleansing device alongside heavy actives (acid cleansers, exfoliants, vitamin c, mid level tretinoin). It presented as tiny pinpoint erythematous papules on the tops of my cheeks near the eyes in the crows feet area and around the corners of my mouth and nose. I eventually was able to isolate that it was mainly the sonic cleansing device that was contributing most to this phenomenon. I ended up treating with metronidazole gel topical and did a lot of barrier relief, with hydrating serums, multiple humectants, peptides, cica, ceramides, masks, and occasional light occlusion w cerave healing ointment (my dermatitis wasn’t due to excess moisture), and I could get it to bounce back within about one or two weeks. I can use all of those actives if I cycle appropriately, but I absolutely cannot use a sonic cleanser on my face. Thank you so much for your videos and discussion.!!! ❤
Just noticed how much I watch skincare yt - recognised almost all stock videos from the beginning of the video. Shoutout for Cassandra for posting a couple of the same ones today. Thanks for video, as always!
I am really liking the NIOD Modulating Glucacides for when my skin feels like it is getting stingy and my acid mantle is messed up. Helps to stop my angry skin from peeling and resets it if it is chapped or irritated.
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience It is the worst of winter right now in Canada, so I am REALLY glad I found this stuff. I have also been using the Superoxside Dismutase Sacoride Mist (sp?) in hopes that reports of it making Rosasea Skin less "flushy" were true. I have yet to see that bare out myself, but the Glucacide Serum has been a real winner. I layer it in as you would any serum, and then seal it in using a nice soothing cream, and it works better than just the cream alone, by a lot!. It is really nice for counteracting some of the irritation from retinoids as well. This is the first January in recent memory where the skin on my nose isn't flakey and peeling.
NIOD modulating glucosides really is the best. It's the only thing that ever calmed my skin and I have rosacea and a chronic irritated barrier. I've tried them all! And none of them do as much as NIOD modulating glucosides. Plus a lot of these "calming products" have essential oils which are all a huge trigger for chronic barrier issues. And they are often heavy and cause breakouts (looking at you la Roche posay cicaplast baume b5).
Happy to go & subscribe to Hanna- great video on the often misunderstood, terribly frustrating skin condition of rosacea (speaking from personal experience ❤).
Thank you. I don't have rosacea (I think), but eczema prone skin, and I have some of the same issues with my skin barrier. I am on the hunt for a good face oil, and have tried to include peptides in my skincare as well as ceramides. Will screenshot the list of good actives!
Same. I also realized that I had broken skin barrier from exfoliating and tanning. Finally, through trial and errors I used Equaphor maximum strength all over my skin and eyelids and slept w/ it on. It’s an ointment and can’t believe the difference in 1 day. No more itching , red, irritated skin. I’ve done this 3 nights in a row and unbelievable how this has saved me!
I’m not sure if this was done before on your channel but would you consider testing out some at-home beauty devices like LED masks to see if they are effective and the science behind it? Thank you!
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience when you do the LED review can you please look into the contraindications? I have Melasma and my dermatologist told me not to use LED🤷🏼♀️. I'm bummed because it sounds great for helping with lots of other skin conditions.
I agree. I've always thought actives are only ingredients that are listed as actually active ingredients with their percentages like salicylic acid, adapalene, azelaic acid etc.
They are actives though. They are active ingredients because they are included to target a specific concern. They are not filler ingredients, binders or preservatives, but the ingredient that is supposed to act in the product. Oat, Panthenol and Glycerin are active ingredients because they *do* something directly to the skin
That's a good point that I've struggled with more and more the longer I've been talking about skincare. "Active" vs "inactive" is a spectrum with no good cut-off point, and it's one of the reasons drug vs cosmetic regulation is such a mess. For example, petroleum jelly can increase skin production of antimicrobial peptides, and even a piece of sticky tape will change which skin components the skin underneath produces (skin is really responsive to hydration level). And there are ingredients that can do multiple things - oat has avenanthramides which are pretty "active", as well as humectants like beta glucan; THDA is an oily emollient ("inactive"?), and could turn into ascorbic acid which could interact with receptors ("active"?), and an antioxidant (semi-active?). And then there's the issue of whether the ingredient will actually do anything in the specific formulation. So I've just been using "active" to mean "key ingredient that can help do what the product claims to do".
I’m not a skincare specialist but I tend to view actives as ingredients in the product which are there to have some effect on your skin, whether that’s adding hydration, helping hold hydration, exfoliating, increasing cell regeneration, brightening skin, etc. and then I view the inactive ingredients as things that stabilise the actives, contribute to the texture and viscosity of the product, help its shelf life and things like that and not necessarily have an effect on the skin, although there are some that do both
Several of us have been discussing this on the SebDerm Reddit. How can you repair the skin barrier of someone with seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp, face, and body? Repairing the barrier requires ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol. However, oils (except MCT 8 & 10 oil, squalane, and mineral oil) are known to exacerbate the SebDerm. So how can you heal the skin in cases of seborrheic dermatitis?
I'm not super familiar with seb derm, but from what I've come across it seems to be a balancing act between using lightweight products and antifungal treatments. Ruby who sometimes comments here knows more I think, hopefully she comes across this! 🤞
One of my issues is I do have mildly sensitive skin, but niacinimide is actually something that irritates my skin like crazy when I have it in more than one product. So I’m not sure what to do as the majority of calming products have niacinimide in it.
This isn’t just a you issue, a lot of sensitive skin peeps are having issues with niacinamide, they’re being put into reformulations as companies are catching on how “good” niacinamide is for their business to add established products with niacinamide because people are aware of the ingredient. All that to say, you’ll have to look harder for products that will suit your skin and don’t have niacinamide unfortunately…
I usually buy products with glyceryn, hyaluronic acid, urea, panthenol and aloe vera. Even if they are not marketed for barrier repair these products can go a long way. Look at some dry skin products, some of they may have what you need.
Thank you for all of these great product recommendations and explanations. I still get too enthusiastic with active ingredients sometimes and need to focus on barrier repair more. Also, thank you for mentioning folliculitis! I've had flare ups for the last couple years and didn't realize what caused it at first. Can't wait to try some of the products you and Hannah mentioned throughout the video. Take care!
My skin became very dry, flaky and sensitive this winter. I tried the highly touted remedies from You Tube, but what worked was Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Repair Cream. I switched my sunscreen to EltaMD UV Physical tinted which is formulated for sensitive skin.
Thank you for your video. I have rosacea and acne at 18 and it's definetly a mess to treat, especially when in France you have to wait at best 5 months to get a dermatologist appointment. By the way, among all the skin care channels, yours and Dr Dray's are my fav, thanks for all your good work and funny videos.
Argh that sounds like a pain! Dermatologist wait times are really long here too, although if you try really hard you can sometimes find a spot somewhere. And thank you! I'm very happy to hear that 😊
Tellement. On m'avait donnée un RDV pour dans 7 mois mais en appelant 1 fois par semaine pour les annulations au final j'ai attendu à peine 3 ! En dermato cosmétique pour du laser.
the Niod copper peptide (CAIS) is hands down the greatest soothing product I've ever tried - and I've used like every ingredient mentioned 😭. It's expensive though whew.
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips and product recommendations for managing rosacea and sensitive skin! I've been using DermalMD Rosacea Serum and it's been so effective in reducing redness and inflammation on my skin. It's great to see a product that's specifically formulated for rosacea, and I appreciate the additional tips for repairing the skin barrier. Thank you again for the informative video!
This is the exact video I need right now!! I moved from a place with a dry cold winter, to a wet cold winter, and my skin does NOT like the wet cold winter. And that’s so confusing to me. Maybe the moist air is making the actives penetrate deeper, plus the cold is more irritating? Whatever the reason, I’ve had to cut WAAAAYY back on actives this winter.
I'm in my late 20s and I simultaneously have adult acne and rosacea. I find it very difficult to deal with because products that calm my rosacea cause me acne while products that help with my acne make my rosacea worse.
Not for nothing, but BHA products were the gold standard for both (prior to niacinamides etc.), and I’m still using them. I love Paula’s Choice 4%, personally. They ship worldwide and have trial sizes of most products; I’d guess, catch one of their (near constant) sales, start with the 1%, and see if you tolerate it and then if you see improvement? It’s been decades now (!) but think that’s how I started.
Great products recommendations! When my barrier is damaged I personally use Vaseline at night and sunscreen! Sunscreen sunscreen so important!!! I did not know you can use vitamin C with a damaged barrier when I have acne I avoid it so that’s probably why I thought you can’t use it with damaged skin barrier
I use .05% retin a and had redness issues way before starting it. Other actives and even the usual suggestions for redness did nothing or inflamed it. The Retin A didn't, and in fact was the only thing that in fact seemed to help (other than using a basic non active moisturizer). Definitely now have way less redness than before using it. I don't think we understand much about rosacea or related issues at all yet.
Argh that must be so annoying at the moment with the niacinamide boom! I've started pointing out when a product DOESN'T have niacinamide because it's so rare...
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Niacinamide is so awful on my skin! I am trying to repair my skin after ruining it with this stuff, but it is almost impossible to find products that don't have it. Do you have any videos on niacinamide free products for sensitive skin, by chance? Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
For my rosacea a not too aggressive AHA is actually helping. Also my dermatologist sad it is ok to use it once or twice a week. Also Ivermectin helps a lot when I am in a phase where my rosacea is showing up.
Regardless of this video being structured through the lens of what benefits a certain skin condition, this analyzing and remarking on the ability,perks, and purpose, as well as the back and forth of "oh this one has this which does this, and this one does that which studies show seems to do a better job of..., oh and this one..." of different ingredients in a *whole bunch of products* , and their assets to our body is really the best response I can think of to the fear mongering and misinformation you've grown to loathe in skincare or body care. Those "fear videos" are alluring because they make people feel like they have a perception of whats "good and bad" and Debunking is one thing, but when you don't provide another source material to base a person's understanding with, an indirect "tier list" so to speak, that's obviously backed up with both of your expertisein this video, people end up left with, "Okay so all those videos I watched of dudes walking around stores and woman with distraught faces were just wrong.....and I'm being informed that dose makes the poison, and there are numerous organizations and institutions doing their friggin job of trying to ensure product safety, with all that in mind, surely there must still be some hierarchy of 'for your " motive of using product " it seems like this one will be better for you than this one, ' or ' the presence of these ingredients seems to do a better job than this other products concoction because...*insert evidence here*' " or even "the data on the safety of this product is honestly still spotty so I'm not sure I'd recommend" Stuff like that. That's what this video does, and I don't see it a lot on your channel, so I'd adore more content like this whether in a general sense of common products you universally favor for whatever reason, or products that are designed for certain skin conditions that the research would show you'd favor, or even dwelling outward to shampoos, deodorant and other body care/hygiene items Whatever you may do, a fan nonetheless.
It would be nice if you mention which of these products are less likely to breakout acne-prone skin. Acne is why we try skin-irritating ingredients in the first place :(
Should urea be avoided when dealing with Rosacea? I’ve seen some sources that say urea is irritating for rosacea- quite confusing since it’s such a holy grail ingredient for barrier support.
i have pretty sensitive skin and also allergic to niacinamide, and i am so mad because i've been using a niaciniamide moisturiser for 2 years 😭 i'm here to look for alternatives
Thanks for these tips. I had a facial last week and the esthetician used an AHA mask that set me on fire. I've had redness and some swelling in places for days. I'm trying to get my face back to normal.
thank you! i have real bad chronic acne plus really sensitive skin so its alwats eitger deal with painful acne or deal with painful treatments, i hope i can do my acne treatments and Then come in with one of these soothing products, itd be a live saver if i could help calm down my acne without having to strip my face of everything and leave it painful all over
I know that as a Rosacea sufferer, I CANNOT use any type of retinoid topically or even Azelaic acid! Both of these will burn me, so I wash with Cerave 2% Salicylic acid wash about 2X a week or so! I can tolerate that fine!!
Omg this is the video I’ve been looking for for a long time! My skin barrier is horrific and I’ve tried many things and made it worse even things with skin barrier repair on it! My face has been raw for years and I haven’t used any actives in a long time idk what I did initially probably from trying a bunch of products I didn’t understand but after that I stopped and now and past couple of years just washing my face it blisters back open and is raw I don’t understand and there’s no acne but somehow my skin feels like it’s been rugburned and looks burned right as water touches it.
OMG! How did you know I have a cold? I've been using Aveeno skin relief moisture repair and Cerave healing ointment in the hope that the skin on my nose will not be completely rubbed off!
I have subtype 2 papulopustular rosacea and I’ve been trying out sulfur masks and really have noticed that they really work great with minimizing the appearence of papules and inflammation. But the masks are a bit pricey where I live and the cheaper versions contains ingredients that flushes my face instantly. So do you guys think it would be possible to do the DIY oat mask and with sulfur powder? With regards to typically used sulfur concentration of 2-10% in skincare ofc.
Yes. When I worked in a salon, we would mix up customised face masks for clients and oat powder and sulphur powder were two ingredients that were options for them. I personally favoured those two for my own skin.
I know this is a year-old video, but perhaps my comment will help someone: there is another micellar water that is high quality and much like the Bioderma one and it's the one from Uriage. It is recommended for red, sensitive skin and if you cannot find the Bioderma one but can the Uriage one, then it's a perfect substitute.
Thank you for products in Australia!!! I couldn't figure out what I could use so I used to just lay that The Ordinary's squalane serum under other moisturisers but these look like much better options
You're so welcome! Hope they work for you too - I also forgot to mention the Bondi Sands Sweet Dreams moisturiser if you're after something super lightweight and bland (but might not be moisturising enough if you have dry skin in dry weather).
This may be off-topic, but I was wondering how high the PPD rating of a Sunscreen should actually be to be considered safe for UVA protection? Some people criticise the fact that four pluses only mean a value of >16, is that really enough? Or should it be above 20, 25, 30? Would really appreciate more insight into this, since Korean sunscreens especially have been very popular (for good reason) like the BOJ one, but do they actually have a PPD rating that's high enough?
Do you have a video bout Seborreic dermatitis? If you dont please do a video like this.. My SD like on and off, and it frustrated me.. Thanks in advance
I am constantly confused as to whether i have rosacea, eczema, or something else. My main issue is I have little bumps, like clogged pores, many of which become white heads, all over my nose, the sides of my nose and really bad on my forehead. These bumps over time have spread out to across my eyebrows, around my temples, onto my cheekbones and now connect back to the nose. So I've got red scars all over those places now. All the areas with bumps are also very red. This skin also is always flaky, but also very oily. I used to have flawless, clear, and very dry skin until about age 19. It's slowly gotten worse since then. I tried to go to a derm once but he just gave me acne wash and sent me home. It was so expensive.
Sadly I'm allergic to hyloronic acid and avocado oils so I can't use so many products for my super sensitive skin. Even the cream skin toner stung me. The only cleansers I can use are the first aid beauty cleanser and the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser.
I really wanted to get my hands on the Rebound serum, but I discovered after talking to tbh customer service that due to a trademark issue, they do not shop to the US. Bummer.
There’s just too many product recommendations and I’m overwhelmed… I don’t know what to use. I have sebborheic dermatitis/eczema and closed comedones, so I’m often using prescription retinoid which just flares up my eczema and then I have to use corticosteroids to deal with the flare… not sure what to use when this happens
Thank you so much to both of you for this really useful video! 🙏 I've had seborrheic dermatitis ever since I hit puberty and over the years it has become worse. Excess sebum, redness and irritation, itchiness and lots of flaking. I was prescribed hydrocortisone and ketoconazole which I used and still use when things are really bad, but I noticed that between my hairline and forehead at the top, where my SD mostly occurs, the skin barrier has become really damaged and thin due to the steroid medications. It's hard for me to exfoliate away the flakiness due to the weak skin barrier and it's also hard for me to find a product that can fix the skin barrier without contributing to the condition and causing more sebum excretion. I was wondering if you or @hannah_english had any recommendations for recovering my skin barrier or how I could control seborrheic dermatitis.
As someone with sd as well (around my nose area, yikes) i second this! I would also appreciate a video on how to treat sd better! This video was amazing and very informative, thank you!
Thank you so much for all the informations you provide. I was looking forward to find out more about my rosacea. I have tried over 70 sunscreens over time. When rosacea flares up, I can't use any sunscreen, other than those with zinc. The rest stung me terribly. During the rest of the period, I use only chemical sunscreens. So I don't understand why zinc, for me, it's the only one that gives results, but I am happy I can wear sunscreen🥰
Hi! :) I suffer from folliculitis on my chest, sometimes on my forehead and I have also perioral dermatitis. Of the products you mentioned, Ceravé catch my attention for folliculitis. I currently use Acnosal Spry Rev, but sometimes it is too strong and dries out my skin so much and tends to flake. The perioral dermatitis isn't very strong, but I haven't found any resolving treatment yet. I was thinking of using Skin 1004 Madagascar centella serum or Kate somerville DeliKate Recovery serum to re-establish a healthy skin barrier. They should contain ceramides, peptides and probiotics. What do you think? Could you recommend any others? Thank you very much
I have been searching the Internet. Can we please talk about vascular type one rosacea and a safe routine for that we hear all about redness and flareups type two rosacea, and sure people with vascular rosacea also are prone to that but when it’s at bay and you’re just left with enlarged pores and the broken capillaries You’re really not told anything about your skin care because the only thing that helps is laser removal. I am looking to invest in a laser LED light mask which are expensive so I’m saving up for it… But for the enlarged pours I see so much Korean double cleansing methods and then using a foam cleanser is really cleaning out those pores and I really want to get on board but when I see how many oils are in the cleansers, it scares me to even try… Has anyone found the perfect duo oil cleanser/foam cleanser for type one and type two rosacea or are we just staying away?
Would this advice also apply to skin damaged by fraxel laser? My dermatologist went too deep and i have had red skin for almost 2 years (also won't admit it was her error, which has been honestly quite distressing so it feels somewhat more than depressing when i notice the scars)
Hello ladies, thank you for the video, as you mentioned a facial, I am curious if you have an opinion on two types of facials: infusion (hydratacial, jet peel, dermalinfusion) and oxygenation (oxygeneo and intraceuticals)
Please share a face care routine for the different stages of rosacea. What products for aging etc cleansers, moisturizers eyes etc both when having a flair up and when it's calmed down and normal.
I know a lot of folks say you habe to wear sunscreen every day. But my question is about the days where the UV index is under 2. Is it okay to not wear sunscreen? In the UK we don't get blazing sunshine very often. I always check the UV index before going outside. Should I still wear sunscreen when the UV index is at say 1 like it is all today? Or should I still wear factor 15-30?
Hope you enjoyed this chat! It was so much fun doing this video with Hannah - we're both massive nerds and have ADHD, and we don't see each other in person that often, so we went off on lots of interesting tangents that had to be cut out for clarity.
Let me know what else you want me to cover in the future, particularly for less-talked-about skin conditions!
You can follow Hannah on Instagram @ms_hannah_e, she also just started on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/channels/D9FRjdyT8OzIMHLKf09zkg.html

Hi Lab Muffin Beauty, I was wondering about a video you did two years back Easy (5 Minute) D.I.Y Vitamin C Serum. Can you use this D.I.Y serum in other D.I.Y cosmetic product like sugar scrubs or lip scrubs?
I would love for you cover using products in different climates/environments and specific ingredients that should not be used for certain concerns. For example, I get dry skin and tried to use hyaluronic acid to help with this issue. However, since I live in a very dry climate it backfired completely. I am sure there are many ingredients that have caveats like this that just are not known because no one with the scientific expertise has laid it out for people in an accessible way. As an example there are probably occlusives and humectants that are a terrible idea to use if you in a dusty or air polluted location. And the options for topics to cover in this area continue on for quite a bit.
Hi Michelle. I love yr videos & I will confess that I am not impressed by many. You are real & knowledgeable. It seems that you are more interested in helping people than showing off your makeup for the day. I like that you might be a little bit older than some of the other UA-camrs, as I am older than you and appreciate your scientific knowledge
I'm very critical (fortunately or unfortunately) and have no complaints about you or your videos whatsoever. I've seen a couple & now subscribe. Again, I don't love every UA-camr or product, so please take that as a compliment.
I'm so happy to have found you & hope you read this comment ❤️❤️.
I also have ADHD, so nice to join the club! 😀🇨🇦❤️
I was just diagnosed with rosacea -- pale white woman, age 33, and I've had various broken capillaries on my face my whole life. Would love to see more videos about rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and other conditions that aren't quite your typical acne!
I'm 24 and have the same skin lol!
@@devynryan1341 good to know early! I only found out because I started to break out around my mouth and it wasn't acne or fungal. Smash cut to a small round of antibiotics and some special creams later xD
@@queenwyntir 28, pale. had rocasea all my life. My mom and sister had it too. Been diagnosed only year ago,cause was stupid and didn't visit dermatologist...Combinated dry and oily, itchy, allergic skin.Not much of redness,more blood vessel. First I do cut every product with fragrances, essential oils and alcohols.Everything! Stoped using AHA/BHA exfolliators, only gluconaton (pha) or mandelic,lactic(aha) once in 2-3 weeks. Double cleanse system is enoght for cloged pores and acne. Personaly find out, best are moisturizers with MLE(MVE) technology. Like Cerave, Korean prof line CU-Skin. Most of my products from Cu-Skin. Especially serum with Troxerutin. Find out that Rutin is great antioxidant to train vessel,rear ingredient. Probiotics and lysate works the best to rejenarete and i`m more into Peptides. There is excellent serum from Bywhishtrend with ceramide and peptide. And I do like the Cica-Bariederm line from Uriage. Niacinamide is great 5% max for even skin tone and control sebum. All of my acne desapear after restoring barrier. I do have much of pigmintation, so willing to try Allies of Skin Tranexamic and arbutin serum,but this one is expencive.
Yes, more videos on rosacea and how to adress aging with it would be great!🙏
Broken capillaries can't be fixed with cosmetics unfortunately.. but you can use some to reduce vasodialation. Only way to permanently reduce is laser or newer "thermocoagulation" treatments. Just be sure to do it all through a registered dermatologist/doctor IMO. For general redness try prescription creams like metrogel/metrocream or topical ivermectin.
Thank you for having me! I am so proud and honoured to call you my friend, what a fun video
Hannah, do you know if there are any intl resellers that ship the Rebound Serum to continental Europe? I can't seem to find anything online. :-(
WHY is there ETHANOL in the rebound serum ?!?!?!
@@gerenner there's a bit in there to help dissolve some of the other ingredients, it's not like we're putting 100% isopropyl on our faces I promise :)
rosacea is really interesting. i noticed when i moved away from moldy house that my skin calmed down. no more itching and burning and no more red cheeks! so people can have mold sensitivity - OR - something else environmental like sensitivity to the mites on our skin. it's so important to go to a dermatologist!
And a skin allergy test. I am allergic to sooo many things so my skin is always itchy, my upper respiratory areea is always irritated and my throat likes to swell. I am very allergic to dust mites and getting a new mattress with a dust proof and waterproof cover changed my life.
@@borkbork4124 and allergy pillow cover too!
I was struggling with perioral dermatitis for 2 years without even knowing I had it! Luckily I saw a new doctor and they helped me clear it up. I’m super prone to flushing and starting to think I need to talk to my dr about rosacea 🤔 Thank you for this video!
I have Rosacea, and Tretinoin has been my savior, my rosacea is in remission 😁
I use organic castor oil for the mild rosacea on my cheeks. I see a reduction in the amount of redness. At night I rub a drop into my eyelids and it has significantly reduced my dry eye problem. I am 72 years old and really appreciate how much I have learned about skin care from your videos.
I'm Fitzpatrick 3 with melasma and rosacea. I do feel like Rosacea is not as talked about as acne. Thank you for this video.
I don't think Rosacea is as common a skin condition as Acne is. I think only about 20% of white women will have it, usually ages 30 to 60! Whereas Acne is something about 80 to 90% of the population has at some point (it usually goes into remission after a few years or so). Rosacea is more common among Caucasians, whereas anyone can get Acne, Asians, African-Americans, etc! Also, Rosacea is usually a life-long problem with no known cure! We need a cure for all of these diseases!!
I don't think Rosacea is as common as Acne, which about 90% of the population will have AT SOME POINT! Some much worse than others! Rosacea mainly affects white light-skinned people in the Fitzpatrick Type 1 Category, over the age of 30!
As someone with 'pain in the butt' skin who is always terrified about reformulations because they inevitably upset my skin, I LOVE the new La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 formulation! I could only use the old formulation in moderation otherwise it upset my skin, but somehow this new formulation allows me to use it regularly which has been such a god send to my skin. Plus the texture is nicer and i have less problems with not rubbing it in enough and having white flakes in eyebrows/stubble.
Will definitely check out some of the other products mention, Great video!!
This could not have been better timed! I'm looking into rosacea right now as my face is noticeably pinker than my neck, and my cheeks are constantly mildly irritated. I'll look at my skin barrier and go from there! Thank you!
Hi!! I’m using for extreme days of my rosacea La roche posay rosaliac AR serum. Is amazing. I hope this info can help to you.
@@lolav310 thank you! What do you find this helps with most?
@@_pb2 helps a lot! Since the 1st layer on your skin the “burning” feeling will disappear and the redness will be in 3 days 50 porcent less. Day by day will be you again believe me. I hope that you try this soon. I wish you a happy life and lifestyle! :)
A butterfly shaped red rash across the nose and cheeks can be a symptom of lupus.
Yes! There are so many subtle differences in skin conditions, it's always best to get them checked out by a derm - this video was definitely not meant to be a substitute for a proper diagnosis, but a bit of a push to get people to go book an appointment if it sounds familiar (rather than putting it off indefinitely, which is something I tend to do) and tips for management after a diagnosis or while waiting for one 😊
This video came out on the day I messed up my skin barrier. Perfect timing
I've had rosacea most of my adult life. When I was younger it was more of just red-face and no pustules, but now I am experiencing both. This video really helps, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I think the hardest thing is to diagnose all the symptoms and know and identify what it really is whether it’s rosacea , perioral dermatitis etc.
I have a moderate case of rosacea which I discovered by accident while seeing a dermatologist for my eczema and acne (yeah, l am lucky I know) . The things that made the biggest difference in my skin are Azelaic Acid 15-20% & LED light therapy.
Red LED light therapy has been great for my rosacea and also I found that the green LED was really soothing when my face was really inflamed.
Love the lists of products in screen :) great for an easy screenshot 😀
I'm really glad that's helpful! ^_^
I manage my rosacea by using the Skin1004 100% centella ampoule (drastically reduced the flushing frequency and intensity) and the Dermalex Rosacea cream (seems to control/stop broken capillaries). I use them both morning and evening and my sensitive skin is perfectly happy with them :)
I love this video! This came right on time as I just did a heavy duty micro needling session on myself this past weekend, and I’m currently focused on restoring my barrier this next 2 weeks. This video just confirmed a lot of the tenets I have been following regarding barrier renewal. I had to do my own research on barrier renewal when I diagnosed myself with perioroficial dermatitis (I’m a family MD) after using a sonic cleansing device alongside heavy actives (acid cleansers, exfoliants, vitamin c, mid level tretinoin). It presented as tiny pinpoint erythematous papules on the tops of my cheeks near the eyes in the crows feet area and around the corners of my mouth and nose. I eventually was able to isolate that it was mainly the sonic cleansing device that was contributing most to this phenomenon. I ended up treating with metronidazole gel topical and did a lot of barrier relief, with hydrating serums, multiple humectants, peptides, cica, ceramides, masks, and occasional light occlusion w cerave healing ointment (my dermatitis wasn’t due to excess moisture), and I could get it to bounce back within about one or two weeks. I can use all of those actives if I cycle appropriately, but I absolutely cannot use a sonic cleanser on my face. Thank you so much for your videos and discussion.!!! ❤
Love that we have you two science girls here in Oz. Also thanks to Hannah for putting me onto the Manicare face towels. Love them xx
Just noticed how much I watch skincare yt - recognised almost all stock videos from the beginning of the video. Shoutout for Cassandra for posting a couple of the same ones today. Thanks for video, as always!
Hahaha yes, stock footage is super handy when you're sick of seeing your own face in the same place all the time! 😆
I am really liking the NIOD Modulating Glucacides for when my skin feels like it is getting stingy and my acid mantle is messed up. Helps to stop my angry skin from peeling and resets it if it is chapped or irritated.
That sounds so handy! I think Hannah has actually mentioned Modulating Glucosides to me before too - I need to test it out properly...
Love that stuff! It's almost immediate relief 👍
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience It is the worst of winter right now in Canada, so I am REALLY glad I found this stuff. I have also been using the Superoxside Dismutase Sacoride Mist (sp?) in hopes that reports of it making Rosasea Skin less "flushy" were true. I have yet to see that bare out myself, but the Glucacide Serum has been a real winner. I layer it in as you would any serum, and then seal it in using a nice soothing cream, and it works better than just the cream alone, by a lot!. It is really nice for counteracting some of the irritation from retinoids as well. This is the first January in recent memory where the skin on my nose isn't flakey and peeling.
Me too! It's the best and the only thing that works for my chronic irritated barrier due to rosacea
NIOD modulating glucosides really is the best. It's the only thing that ever calmed my skin and I have rosacea and a chronic irritated barrier. I've tried them all! And none of them do as much as NIOD modulating glucosides. Plus a lot of these "calming products" have essential oils which are all a huge trigger for chronic barrier issues. And they are often heavy and cause breakouts (looking at you la Roche posay cicaplast baume b5).
Happy to go & subscribe to Hanna- great video on the often misunderstood, terribly frustrating skin condition of rosacea (speaking from personal experience ❤).
Thank you. I don't have rosacea (I think), but eczema prone skin, and I have some of the same issues with my skin barrier. I am on the hunt for a good face oil, and have tried to include peptides in my skincare as well as ceramides. Will screenshot the list of good actives!
As a fellow eczema suffer, avoid all costs anything with fragrance
Same. I also realized that I had broken skin barrier from exfoliating and tanning. Finally, through trial and errors I used Equaphor maximum strength all over my skin and eyelids and slept w/ it on. It’s an ointment and can’t believe the difference in 1 day. No more itching , red, irritated skin. I’ve done this 3 nights in a row and unbelievable how this has saved me!
I’m not sure if this was done before on your channel but would you consider testing out some at-home beauty devices like LED masks to see if they are effective and the science behind it? Thank you!
It's been on the to-do list for a while, but Hannah has convinced me to try my LED masks more so stay tuned!
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience when you do the LED review can you please look into the contraindications? I have Melasma and my dermatologist told me not to use LED🤷🏼♀️. I'm bummed because it sounds great for helping with lots of other skin conditions.
'actives' vs 'ingredients' terminology is confusing when talking about things like oat, panthenol etc that aren't really *active*?
I agree. I've always thought actives are only ingredients that are listed as actually active ingredients with their percentages like salicylic acid, adapalene, azelaic acid etc.
They are actives though. They are active ingredients because they are included to target a specific concern. They are not filler ingredients, binders or preservatives, but the ingredient that is supposed to act in the product. Oat, Panthenol and Glycerin are active ingredients because they *do* something directly to the skin
Doesn't 'active' mean an ingredient that actively does something/has an effect rather than being a conduit for delivery?
That's a good point that I've struggled with more and more the longer I've been talking about skincare.
"Active" vs "inactive" is a spectrum with no good cut-off point, and it's one of the reasons drug vs cosmetic regulation is such a mess. For example, petroleum jelly can increase skin production of antimicrobial peptides, and even a piece of sticky tape will change which skin components the skin underneath produces (skin is really responsive to hydration level). And there are ingredients that can do multiple things - oat has avenanthramides which are pretty "active", as well as humectants like beta glucan; THDA is an oily emollient ("inactive"?), and could turn into ascorbic acid which could interact with receptors ("active"?), and an antioxidant (semi-active?). And then there's the issue of whether the ingredient will actually do anything in the specific formulation.
So I've just been using "active" to mean "key ingredient that can help do what the product claims to do".
I’m not a skincare specialist but I tend to view actives as ingredients in the product which are there to have some effect on your skin, whether that’s adding hydration, helping hold hydration, exfoliating, increasing cell regeneration, brightening skin, etc. and then I view the inactive ingredients as things that stabilise the actives, contribute to the texture and viscosity of the product, help its shelf life and things like that and not necessarily have an effect on the skin, although there are some that do both
This was so helpful, you have no idea. Thank you for your generous expertise and experience.
Several of us have been discussing this on the SebDerm Reddit. How can you repair the skin barrier of someone with seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp, face, and body? Repairing the barrier requires ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol. However, oils (except MCT 8 & 10 oil, squalane, and mineral oil) are known to exacerbate the SebDerm.
So how can you heal the skin in cases of seborrheic dermatitis?
I'm not super familiar with seb derm, but from what I've come across it seems to be a balancing act between using lightweight products and antifungal treatments. Ruby who sometimes comments here knows more I think, hopefully she comes across this! 🤞
One of my issues is I do have mildly sensitive skin, but niacinimide is actually something that irritates my skin like crazy when I have it in more than one product. So I’m not sure what to do as the majority of calming products have niacinimide in it.
This isn’t just a you issue, a lot of sensitive skin peeps are having issues with niacinamide, they’re being put into reformulations as companies are catching on how “good” niacinamide is for their business to add established products with niacinamide because people are aware of the ingredient.
All that to say, you’ll have to look harder for products that will suit your skin and don’t have niacinamide unfortunately…
I usually buy products with glyceryn, hyaluronic acid, urea, panthenol and aloe vera. Even if they are not marketed for barrier repair these products can go a long way. Look at some dry skin products, some of they may have what you need.
@@sarahpaesfrare4776 I’ll look into it! Thanks for the tip! 💕
@@Kagaru15 You are welcome
Roseaca uptades always needed
Thank you for all of these great product recommendations and explanations. I still get too enthusiastic with active ingredients sometimes and need to focus on barrier repair more. Also, thank you for mentioning folliculitis! I've had flare ups for the last couple years and didn't realize what caused it at first. Can't wait to try some of the products you and Hannah mentioned throughout the video. Take care!
My skin became very dry, flaky and sensitive this winter. I tried the highly touted remedies from You Tube, but what worked was Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Repair Cream. I switched my sunscreen to EltaMD UV Physical tinted which is formulated for sensitive skin.
i have really sensitive skin so this information really gona help me.
Thank you for your work
I love Hannah so much! Her book is brilliant and very helpful. Michelle + Hannah = I just adore both of you.
Die Anwendung der Johanniskraut-Creme von Bio Allgäu tut meiner Haut wahnsinnig gut, besonders bei kleineren Wunden oder Hautirritationen.
Thank you for your video. I have rosacea and acne at 18 and it's definetly a mess to treat, especially when in France you have to wait at best 5 months to get a dermatologist appointment. By the way, among all the skin care channels, yours and Dr Dray's are my fav, thanks for all your good work and funny videos.
Argh that sounds like a pain! Dermatologist wait times are really long here too, although if you try really hard you can sometimes find a spot somewhere.
And thank you! I'm very happy to hear that 😊
Tellement. On m'avait donnée un RDV pour dans 7 mois mais en appelant 1 fois par semaine pour les annulations au final j'ai attendu à peine 3 ! En dermato cosmétique pour du laser.
the Niod copper peptide (CAIS) is hands down the greatest soothing product I've ever tried - and I've used like every ingredient mentioned 😭. It's expensive though whew.
Best video about skin barrier, thank you Ladies ,watching from South Africa.
I developed post menopausal excema on my eye lids and eyebrows and Weleda Skin Food has been a life saver
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips and product recommendations for managing rosacea and sensitive skin! I've been using DermalMD Rosacea Serum and it's been so effective in reducing redness and inflammation on my skin. It's great to see a product that's specifically formulated for rosacea, and I appreciate the additional tips for repairing the skin barrier. Thank you again for the informative video!
This is the exact video I need right now!! I moved from a place with a dry cold winter, to a wet cold winter, and my skin does NOT like the wet cold winter. And that’s so confusing to me.
Maybe the moist air is making the actives penetrate deeper, plus the cold is more irritating? Whatever the reason, I’ve had to cut WAAAAYY back on actives this winter.
Thank you for this enlightening chat! 🌻
You are so welcome!
I'm in my late 20s and I simultaneously have adult acne and rosacea. I find it very difficult to deal with because products that calm my rosacea cause me acne while products that help with my acne make my rosacea worse.
Not for nothing, but BHA products were the gold standard for both (prior to niacinamides etc.), and I’m still using them. I love Paula’s Choice 4%, personally. They ship worldwide and have trial sizes of most products; I’d guess, catch one of their (near constant) sales, start with the 1%, and see if you tolerate it and then if you see improvement? It’s been decades now (!) but think that’s how I started.
Would you consider doing a video on ceramides and peptides? What they are, how to use them, benefits of each, etc.
I've been loving your videos! I would love a video all about balsam of peru allergy and skin care because i'm STRUGGLING!!
Great products recommendations! When my barrier is damaged I personally use Vaseline at night and sunscreen! Sunscreen sunscreen so important!!! I did not know you can use vitamin C with a damaged barrier when I have acne I avoid it so that’s probably why I thought you can’t use it with damaged skin barrier
This was the best video on Rosacea I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen many!! Thanks a lot ❤
Thank you, such a useful video. More content on rosacea, Please.
New year, new video style! Loving it! 🎉
I use .05% retin a and had redness issues way before starting it. Other actives and even the usual suggestions for redness did nothing or inflamed it. The Retin A didn't, and in fact was the only thing that in fact seemed to help (other than using a basic non active moisturizer). Definitely now have way less redness than before using it. I don't think we understand much about rosacea or related issues at all yet.
Please list the products for treating perioral dermatitis.
This serum looks so good but unfortunately niacinimide flares up my rosacea
Argh that must be so annoying at the moment with the niacinamide boom! I've started pointing out when a product DOESN'T have niacinamide because it's so rare...
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Niacinamide is so awful on my skin! I am trying to repair my skin after ruining it with this stuff, but it is almost impossible to find products that don't have it. Do you have any videos on niacinamide free products for sensitive skin, by chance? Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
Another fantastic video🙌🏻 Thank you both so much xx
I have rosacea and have been impressed with some of aveeno's new oat products.
For my rosacea a not too aggressive AHA is actually helping. Also my dermatologist sad it is ok to use it once or twice a week. Also Ivermectin helps a lot when I am in a phase where my rosacea is showing up.
I’m using ivermectin at the moment and it’s been amazing to reduce and maintain it. Definitely the best thing for my rosacea I’ve used
Could you please do more videos on sensitive skin. Maybe on some laser, light etc for anti-aging
Regardless of this video being structured through the lens of what benefits a certain skin condition,
this analyzing and remarking on the ability,perks, and purpose, as well as the back and forth of "oh this one has this which does this, and this one does that which studies show seems to do a better job of..., oh and this one..." of different ingredients in a *whole bunch of products* , and their assets to our body is really the best response I can think of to the fear mongering and misinformation you've grown to loathe in skincare or body care.
Those "fear videos" are alluring because they make people feel like they have a perception of whats "good and bad" and Debunking is one thing, but when you don't provide another source material to base a person's understanding with, an indirect "tier list" so to speak, that's obviously backed up with both of your expertisein this video, people end up left with, "Okay so all those videos I watched of dudes walking around stores and woman with distraught faces were just wrong.....and I'm being informed that dose makes the poison, and there are numerous organizations and institutions doing their friggin job of trying to ensure product safety, with all that in mind, surely there must still be some hierarchy of 'for your " motive of using product " it seems like this one will be better for you than this one, ' or ' the presence of these ingredients seems to do a better job than this other products concoction because...*insert evidence here*' " or even "the data on the safety of this product is honestly still spotty so I'm not sure I'd recommend"
Stuff like that.
That's what this video does, and I don't see it a lot on your channel, so I'd adore more content like this whether in a general sense of common products you universally favor for whatever reason, or products that are designed for certain skin conditions that the research would show you'd favor, or even dwelling outward to shampoos, deodorant and other body care/hygiene items
Whatever you may do, a fan nonetheless.
It would be nice if you mention which of these products are less likely to breakout acne-prone skin. Acne is why we try skin-irritating ingredients in the first place :(
Should urea be avoided when dealing with Rosacea? I’ve seen some sources that say urea is irritating for rosacea- quite confusing since it’s such a holy grail ingredient for barrier support.
i have pretty sensitive skin and also allergic to niacinamide, and i am so mad because i've been using a niaciniamide moisturiser for 2 years 😭 i'm here to look for alternatives
Thanks for these tips. I had a facial last week and the esthetician used an AHA mask that set me on fire. I've had redness and some swelling in places for days. I'm trying to get my face back to normal.
thank you! i have real bad chronic acne plus really sensitive skin so its alwats eitger deal with painful acne or deal with painful treatments, i hope i can do my acne treatments and Then come in with one of these soothing products, itd be a live saver if i could help calm down my acne without having to strip my face of everything and leave it painful all over
I know that as a Rosacea sufferer, I CANNOT use any type of retinoid topically or even Azelaic acid! Both of these will burn me, so I wash with Cerave 2% Salicylic acid wash about 2X a week or so! I can tolerate that fine!!
When you do your LED mask review, can you look into it's contraindications? I have melasma and my dermatologist said to stay away from LED 🤷🏼♀️
Omg this is the video I’ve been looking for for a long time! My skin barrier is horrific and I’ve tried many things and made it worse even things with skin barrier repair on it! My face has been raw for years and I haven’t used any actives in a long time idk what I did initially probably from trying a bunch of products I didn’t understand but after that I stopped and now and past couple of years just washing my face it blisters back open and is raw I don’t understand and there’s no acne but somehow my skin feels like it’s been rugburned and looks burned right as water touches it.
OMG! How did you know I have a cold?
I've been using Aveeno skin relief moisture repair and Cerave healing ointment in the hope that the skin on my nose will not be completely rubbed off!
So far the only sunscreen I have found that does not sting is the Dermaveen chemical sunscreen
thanks both!
Thanks, Michelle. Great advice.
Glad it was helpful!
I have subtype 2 papulopustular rosacea and I’ve been trying out sulfur masks and really have noticed that they really work great with minimizing the appearence of papules and inflammation. But the masks are a bit pricey where I live and the cheaper versions contains ingredients that flushes my face instantly.
So do you guys think it would be possible to do the DIY oat mask and with sulfur powder? With regards to typically used sulfur concentration of 2-10% in skincare ofc.
I think it's a pretty low risk option that's worth trying, as long as you make a fresh mask each time (and assuming you're not allergic to oat).
Yes. When I worked in a salon, we would mix up customised face masks for clients and oat powder and sulphur powder were two ingredients that were options for them. I personally favoured those two for my own skin.
3:50 to 5:04 I totally 💯 agree 👍👍 with you ❤
I know this is a year-old video, but perhaps my comment will help someone: there is another micellar water that is high quality and much like the Bioderma one and it's the one from Uriage. It is recommended for red, sensitive skin and if you cannot find the Bioderma one but can the Uriage one, then it's a perfect substitute.
Thank you for products in Australia!!! I couldn't figure out what I could use so I used to just lay that The Ordinary's squalane serum under other moisturisers but these look like much better options
You're so welcome! Hope they work for you too - I also forgot to mention the Bondi Sands Sweet Dreams moisturiser if you're after something super lightweight and bland (but might not be moisturising enough if you have dry skin in dry weather).
On the topic of ceramides, what are your thoughts on the whole "Golden ratio" thing for ceramides?
This may be off-topic, but I was wondering how high the PPD rating of a Sunscreen should actually be to be considered safe for UVA protection? Some people criticise the fact that four pluses only mean a value of >16, is that really enough? Or should it be above 20, 25, 30?
Would really appreciate more insight into this, since Korean sunscreens especially have been very popular (for good reason) like the BOJ one, but do they actually have a PPD rating that's high enough?
Some useful info. I wish I could get these products without ordering them.
Do you have a video bout Seborreic dermatitis? If you dont please do a video like this..
My SD like on and off, and it frustrated me.. Thanks in advance
Great video ,
Great video. THANK YOU💐
I am constantly confused as to whether i have rosacea, eczema, or something else. My main issue is I have little bumps, like clogged pores, many of which become white heads, all over my nose, the sides of my nose and really bad on my forehead. These bumps over time have spread out to across my eyebrows, around my temples, onto my cheekbones and now connect back to the nose. So I've got red scars all over those places now. All the areas with bumps are also very red. This skin also is always flaky, but also very oily. I used to have flawless, clear, and very dry skin until about age 19. It's slowly gotten worse since then. I tried to go to a derm once but he just gave me acne wash and sent me home. It was so expensive.
Sadly I'm allergic to hyloronic acid and avocado oils so I can't use so many products for my super sensitive skin. Even the cream skin toner stung me. The only cleansers I can use are the first aid beauty cleanser and the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser.
I would love if you made a video about what ingredients make mascara a tubing mascara.
My skin is so much better after giving up ahas and using a lotion cleanser and ceramidin.
In your latest short, you said HA doesn't need to be applied to wet skin. I'm wondering why that is? I have always been told the reverse.
Thankful for the links but it's overwhelming that they aren't organized or categorized. Really useeful information though!
I really wanted to get my hands on the Rebound serum, but I discovered after talking to tbh customer service that due to a trademark issue, they do not shop to the US. Bummer.
There’s just too many product recommendations and I’m overwhelmed… I don’t know what to use. I have sebborheic dermatitis/eczema and closed comedones, so I’m often using prescription retinoid which just flares up my eczema and then I have to use corticosteroids to deal with the flare… not sure what to use when this happens
Thank you so much to both of you for this really useful video! 🙏
I've had seborrheic dermatitis ever since I hit puberty and over the years it has become worse. Excess sebum, redness and irritation, itchiness and lots of flaking. I was prescribed hydrocortisone and ketoconazole which I used and still use when things are really bad, but I noticed that between my hairline and forehead at the top, where my SD mostly occurs, the skin barrier has become really damaged and thin due to the steroid medications. It's hard for me to exfoliate away the flakiness due to the weak skin barrier and it's also hard for me to find a product that can fix the skin barrier without contributing to the condition and causing more sebum excretion. I was wondering if you or @hannah_english had any recommendations for recovering my skin barrier or how I could control seborrheic dermatitis.
As someone with sd as well (around my nose area, yikes) i second this!
I would also appreciate a video on how to treat sd better!
This video was amazing and very informative, thank you!
Thank you so much for all the informations you provide. I was looking forward to find out more about my rosacea. I have tried over 70 sunscreens over time. When rosacea flares up, I can't use any sunscreen, other than those with zinc. The rest stung me terribly. During the rest of the period, I use only chemical sunscreens. So I don't understand why zinc, for me, it's the only one that gives results, but I am happy I can wear sunscreen🥰
Avene extremely gentle cleanser makes pimples on my forehead 😓
Hi! :)
I suffer from folliculitis on my chest, sometimes on my forehead and I have also perioral dermatitis. Of the products you mentioned, Ceravé catch my attention for folliculitis. I currently use Acnosal Spry Rev, but sometimes it is too strong and dries out my skin so much and tends to flake.
The perioral dermatitis isn't very strong, but I haven't found any resolving treatment yet. I was thinking of using Skin 1004 Madagascar centella serum or Kate somerville DeliKate Recovery serum to re-establish a healthy skin barrier. They should contain ceramides, peptides and probiotics.
What do you think? Could you recommend any others?
Thank you very much
I have been searching the Internet. Can we please talk about vascular type one rosacea and a safe routine for that we hear all about redness and flareups type two rosacea, and sure people with vascular rosacea also are prone to that but when it’s at bay and you’re just left with enlarged pores and the broken capillaries
You’re really not told anything about your skin care because the only thing that helps is laser removal. I am looking to invest in a laser LED light mask which are expensive so I’m saving up for it… But for the enlarged pours I see so much Korean double cleansing methods and then using a foam cleanser is really cleaning out those pores and I really want to get on board but when I see how many oils are in the cleansers, it scares me to even try… Has anyone found the perfect duo oil cleanser/foam cleanser for type one and type two rosacea or are we just staying away?
Thank you
I've started using Aveeno baby care on my skin when its irritated.
Would this advice also apply to skin damaged by fraxel laser? My dermatologist went too deep and i have had red skin for almost 2 years (also won't admit it was her error, which has been honestly quite distressing so it feels somewhat more than depressing when i notice the scars)
Isn't that malpractice??
@@Call-me-Al yea :( i could have taken her to court i guess but i didn't have the mental health to go through the stress and cost
Hello ladies, thank you for the video, as you mentioned a facial, I am curious if you have an opinion on two types of facials: infusion (hydratacial, jet peel, dermalinfusion) and oxygenation (oxygeneo and intraceuticals)
Please share a face care routine for the different stages of rosacea. What products for aging etc cleansers, moisturizers eyes etc both when having a flair up and when it's calmed down and normal.
Is there a US link to the cicaplast sheet mask?
Hey LabMuffin, what are your thoughts on Arcaea: A Beauty Revolution Through Biology?
I know a lot of folks say you habe to wear sunscreen every day. But my question is about the days where the UV index is under 2. Is it okay to not wear sunscreen? In the UK we don't get blazing sunshine very often. I always check the UV index before going outside. Should I still wear sunscreen when the UV index is at say 1 like it is all today? Or should I still wear factor 15-30?
Salacylic acid destroyed my skin.
I have pitted scars bc of it. I am suffering
