But it's true... also if you have a mild break on your skin due to the start of a fungal infection due to heat or shaffing this will work as well ... put this on, on the affected area(s) at the start if your shower then soap up like normal and then soap up the affected spots with the regular soap... when done make sure you dry completely and apply walmart brand (gold bold) power I use the extra strength to keep the moisture away until the spots heals completely
It worked 100% for me, I saw this and have been using it for a few months now. I got one with tea tree oil and it works better than the regular dandruff shampoo, I used to use all types of acne washes and pads with no success. I’ve been trying to find a way to get rid of acne for 15+ years
@@nihalbhamrah4726People have different skin types like dry,acne,ageing, oily, much more so probably it didn’t work for them because they didn’t have those things like if she had dry skin and she was using a oily skin product that got rid of oily skin it wouldn’t work because she doesn’t have oily skin. It’s very complicated tbh lol💀
@@nihalbhamrah4726there is different types of acne. What the girl in the video had was fungal acne that’s why the head and shoulders worked for her. But if someone has hormonal acne, this won’t work because that’s a completely different situation. Not all acne is the same, and one routine isn’t going to work for everyone. If it was that simple then do you think there’d still be people suffering from painful acne? (Not trying to be rude kind of came off like that).
Let me tell you am doing this , my back acne and my face acne just vanished what blew my mind is I didn't get period acne this time to which I was looking forward to. 😂
@@anas4asiaHead and Shoulders dandruff shampoo. It doesn't work for all types of acne, but is worth a try if you're going to use up the shampoo anyways
@@That_BrownGirlI’m a woman without skincare and I only have like one pimple and a few scars that are barely even visible. The rest of my skin is smooth.
Men also shave which is exfoliative as well as lack of wide hormonal fluctuations. Many women break out because they do too much and throws off their barrier mantle. I recommend grapeseed oil as a cleanser if you want a one step routine.
@@dermaspaceSCmen don't have a lack of hormonal fluctuations at all. They actually fluctuate more than women do because they fluctuate daily as well as seasonally.
Head and shoulders works best for a certain type of acne: fungal acne. Just be aware if you don't have this type of acne, it can make things worse (many people suffer from bacterial or hormonal acne). Skin care is really trial and error anyway, but if it doesn't work for you in 2 weeks, move on :)
@@Natashajbyes, me too!! Please don’t believe everything someone says online! What works for some people won’t work for others, and can even make things worse or cause more issues!! Please use common sense!

yall just remember this isn't for everyone or every type of acne. it's mainly used for fungal acne .i tried using anti dandruff shampoo for what i thought was fungal acne but broke out so bad 😭 i feel like a good alternative to this would be the ordinary's niacinamide since it has zinc and has made my skin softer smoother and just better
Here in Brazil we have a baby Butt ointment called hipoglós and I use that in my face.. the composition is basically retinyl palmitate, Cholecalciferol and zinc oxide.. now I know why my skin loves it.. the zinc in it i guess.. and i put with Rosehip oil, and my skin reacts so perfectly, specially after using tretinoin or after sun exposure on summer. and yes, I put baby butt ointment in my face🤡, is amazing for sunburn when you're at the pool or beach hahaahaahhauaau my mom used to put over my sunscreen in my nose tô not create the sunburn bubbles
It's not for every body but thank you for being a voice in this area! Most of the products out there are overpriced and unnecessary and even make it worse! So hearing about the inexpensive potential options is helpful
Fr like with how much more common cancer has become you’d think it’s partially due to All these products the industry has us using. Especially women, alllll those pointless beauty products they made for made up insecurities so they could profit off us.
Yes, the zinc in this shampoo is lovely foe Many people. I am one of those people is ALLERGIC to it though. I also happen to be a Soapmaker! Because of those allergies,
I have some bad acne, but all I use is the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, Cetaphil lotion and epiduo. And that's it. Skin has never been clearer. I had been trying some 10 step stuff prior to this and my skin was way worse.
Thank you for trying to be helpful for all these people ❤ It may not work for everyone but you just helped a large group of people find something that did work for them ❤ keep it up 🎉
This changed everything for me, I don't know where I originally saw this short but I've been using literally the same shampoo and my acne cleared up for the first time in a decade.
I'm allergic to a lot of skincare products. I've used head and shoulders as a shampoo and bodywash for years and get compliments on how soft and clean my skin is! This is totally true!
It's literally one of the worst shampoos I've ever used. Never had dryer hair then when I was using that. I find it interesting how these things affect other people.
@@BlackHand531same here! My hair for super dry and good lord I have NEVER had that much dandruff in my entire life than I did when I used head and shoulders.
okay this literally has cured my acne. for YEARS i’ve had a multi-step process to treat my skin and while it gets rid of the big, deep pimples (caused by hormones or makeup for me), i couldn’t get rid of the tiny ones on my forehead no matter how hard i tried. i saw this, decided “what do i have to lose at this point” and within a week my forehead was clear for the first time in YEARS. now i know it was because of fungal acne, and wouldn’t have worked otherwise, but just your short getting me to try it has truly given me new confidence now that my skin is clear. thank you so much elyse
I believe this is what works great for fungal acne. If you have fungal acne your breakouts are probably itchy. Also it does not mean you are dirty for having itl!! It can come from towels depending on how/where they’re washed, from being humid outside, etc. some people are just more prone to it.
Thats bc dandruff is a type of fungal thing. I think..thats what i was told at least. I kept using dandruff shampoo bc i thought thats what i had..but it continued to get worse and i tried every kind. I went and got my hair cut and asked the women while i was there and she told me its bc i dont have dandruff i have dry skin. And dandruff shampoo is used to dry the fungus out. So all i was doing was drying out my dry skin more. She suggested tea tree oil. I used it a few times a week and i havnt had an issue in like 5 years.
PSA please look for an UNscented version if you're going to try this!!!!!! The fragrance in a lot of new H&S products is really really intense and will be counterproductive.
@@HealingByHomemakingi like vanicream for fragrance free stuff. They have zinc shampoo and zinc bars. The shampoo smells like Elmer’s glue a bit, so not good but not bad either. And the smell doesn’t transfer to hair or skin.
yeah, the fragrance in H&S always made me break out (my mum swears by it) I used to use the Axe 2 in 1 shampoo / bodywash for dandruff but they discontinued it a few years back now.
@@a_francy get on spironolactone. I had acne all over my face shoulders chest and back after the birth of my son. Turns out that’s a sign of high androgen levels in women. If you try the head and shoulders and it doesn’t work (it didn’t for me) get on a low dose of spironolactone and it’s utterly life changing. I no longer break out at all and have clear skin again.
this works for fungal acne which lots of people suffer with on their forehead and stuff. unfortunately head and shoulders can do more damage than good for some people (myself) as the surfactant in it are harsh and there's artificial fragrance in it. BUT I'm saying that, it can work for some people for sure, and there are other zinc shampoos that are a little less harsh that are also fantastic for this issue. if it works for you keep it up!!! it's a money/life saver tbh, more people need to talk about it.
@@orchdork775 not over the counter that's widely available in my experience, I'm no dermatologist by any means whatsoever, but I worked at a Sephora for 3 years and got familiar with skincare ingredients and never found one. internet active dermatologist also recommended anti- dandruff shampoo as well funnily enough. it's something someone should be making tbh.
@orchdork775 try diaper rash cream for sensitive skin. It'd perfect for sunburn and breakouts. Been using it for 20 years and my mother used it as far back as the early to mid 70s. Great spot treatment.
I use a cheap teenager moisturizer with salicilic acid and if I run out I can really tell the difference. I think you don't have to spend hundreds on skincare, just the kind that suits you...and your budget.
@@cdbf98 Haha, I think there must be many, I'm dutch so I didn't name the one as probably no one can get it but the principle is the same. (just btw Kruidvat Pure Nourishing Step 5 Talg Reducerende Crème, it's 3 euros for a big tube and I use at most 2 a year I think)
@@StopTheWorld65 Yups and my skin does very well with it, I can't imagine a expensive version doing much more. I'll never have a babysmooth face but break outs are minimal and it helps any skin where I removed hair.
@@StopTheWorld65 Yeah you see all these youtubers spending so much money and doing so many layers of them too. But in the end who can tell the difference? An SPF to protect your skin, salicilic acid to prevent blocked pores and infections, especially with all the oil my skin makes. Moisturizer to keep things soft. I exfoliate when needed. None of costs much. Other people spend more than that in a month on a single small jarred cream with 0,0000005% seaweed in it.
zinc is no joke. I have a mineral sunscreen that’s zinc-based and when I’m wearing it regularly my skin is perfect, and it actively clears break outs. If I get a pimple I use the sunscreen and it goes away so fast!! EDIT: sorry I didn’t include the name originally! I use etude house’s sunprise sunscreen in the “mild airy” finish. I’ve used it for a few years now, it’s nice because it doesn’t leave as bad of a white cast as other mineral sunscreens *cough* cerave. Also ymmv since we all have different skin types ofc, but sunscreen is always a must :)
Zinc oxide is used as sunscreen and it’s not the same as zinc pyrithione used in anti dandruff shampoo. Also zinc in no way clears acne besides the fact that zinc alone is a powder that can slightly absorb oil. That’s it.
So i tried using head and shoulders specifically because of this video. It has only been a few weeks and I'm already seeing improvement. I'll update again in a month or so. Update: Hey! I know it's only been 3 more weeks but I wanted to share what I've found. My skintype is dry/combination with oiliness in the T-zone depending on the weather. Using head and shoulders does not dry my skin out, but I've been using a Moisturizer anyway and it's been working really well. I messed around with using it consistently vs not and I've noticed that if I stop using it I'll break out in 2-3 days. On the other hand, when I start using it again it takes 1-2 days for my skin to show improvement and about 1 week to clear completely. I haven't been using it as bodywash bc I really like the one I already use, but I imagine it would be effective for backne as well since mine started clearing up a little (which I assume is related, probably bc I rinse my hair as it lays on my back). My hair is also doing better! It's shinier and less frizzy. I have fine waves/light curls and I've found it mich more manageable. Maybe it's pavlovian idk but it seems to hold its curl better.
For sure. Another pro tip: change your pillow cases at least once a week. Your face is oily. 8 hours a night on the same pillow case after a couple nights can start to cause break outs. Again, everyone is different, but highly recommend.
This cured my back acne! I saw your video and one other one so i saw it as a sign to try it, since I’ve tried everything else I could with no results. It almost completely got rid of the acne on my back. I went from looking like I had chicken pox to almost completely clear within 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier.
Zinc is actually medical used (as in lotions, pastes or pills) to increase wound healing. It also has a slightly desinfecting/ asepting effect on skin issues
Glad I got that short recommended again. I've been using head and shoulders since I first watched it everyday with just a moisturizer afterwards and it completely changed my skin! It's flawless now - thank you
I cannot emphasize enough just how timely this advice is. I've been stressing over buying more face wash; I just feel like it's so expensive for what it is! I'll be going to Walmart today. Thank you so much!!!!
the reason she broke out is by trying new products. i used to make the mistake of trying a bunch of different kinds because i kept breaking out, and only had clear skin after sticking to one brand for like 6 months+ if u switch it up randomly ur skin gets fucked up again 😭
@@user-zb6rl7yq8f true! I bought the exact same bottle she shows in this short, so it will be months before I run out. Haven't used it yet, but thinking I'll add it to my current face wash bottle. Dude note: this, like most modern shampoos, has dimethicone in it, which is terrible for hair but great for skin. It's what makes your hair feel silky when it's being used, but if you're using sulfate-free shampoo, the silicone builds up and can kill your hair.
Please also remember she is not a dermatologist or an esthetician and isn't qualified to give out advice for skincare products. This will not work for everyone, if you're looking for inexpensive drug store options try CeraVe cleansers.
It worked for my sister for a while but gave her perioral dermatitis and hyperpigmentation because harsh products dry out your skin and dry skin is a skin conditions magnet.
Have been using this for a few months now. Honestly works better than any other face wash I've ever used. It did initially make my face burn for the first week or 2 because I have sensitive skin, but that stopped happening when my skin got used to it.
hii! well just a note to be aware of that this doesn't work for everybody. i tried this a couple of weeks ago, and my skin had burnt patches on it. (my cheeks to be specific) it hurt like hell and broke me out even more. keep in mind i did have small bumps and pimples while using it. so if you want to try this, please speak to a dermatologist about using it! i learnt the hard way, and i am recovering so not a big deal but yeahh!
just in case it changes someone else's life like it did mine: if you have oily skin and nothing works, start treating it like dry skin. moisturizing wash and no astringents. oily skin (and hair!) is sometimes just dry skin that's overcompensating
Yes!!! I actually had such terrible skin I went to school to be an esthetician. I wanted to make sure others didn’t have to go through it like I did. What did I learn… Drying your face out makes it more oily 😂 the logic… i was so upset that didn’t occur to me lol
💯 And the strangest part is none of the derms I saw over the years picked up on this! I just had to figure it out myself, and once I did, hello clear beautiful skin!
@@malyssa309 i know right? like why did it not occur to me to just be more gentle with it?? even with prescription skincare, it just seems like folks with acne get prescribed tougher and harsher treatments that make you itch and pick more and lead to scarring you can't get rid of even once your skin is clear.
I just want to thank you for this tip, I have huge insecurities about my acne and in under a week of using this as my face wash my face is brighter and clearer than ever!!! THANK YOU!!!!❤❤❤
Licensed esthetician here...any sudden change to your skincare routine can cause breakouts. Using random products willy nilly (no matter how expensive) will do the same. If you continue to have break outs on your chin, it may be a hormonal shift as hormonal acne happens in that area. Not saying for you to stop using the shampoo -- if it's working for you, then cool. Grapeseed oil is a great cleanser should you need another option on the future.
@rynfornow3411 ty! Many people once past their mid-20s break out from their skin not being hydrated enough (which makes their skin produce more oil so they think they are oily), or their pH is thrown off (because most cleansers are alkaline and our skin is slightly acidic...this why folks need to use a toner after washing their face). The grapeseed oil avoids both issues. It's hydrophilic, so you can wipe off the excess with a damp rag. It's also mildly antiseptic and helps with inflammation and hyperpigmention. It's low on the comedogenic scale, so it's shouldn't cause pimples. I haven't had a person who didn't benefit from using this. The dandruff shampoo is prob helpful because it's antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliative, but our skin needs change with time, esp after any large hormonal changes like having a baby or just from 20s-30s or perimenopause. So the shift to using different skincare stuff could potentially have been a coincidence rather the singular cause, but again sudden shifts can trip the skin out. It's why I recommend the grapeseed oil to get folks to a place of balance without making them take on an elaborate regiment. I've always thought Elyse has lovely skin, so I def want her to have the knowledge she needs to get her skin back to balance without her needing to do a lot of work for it.
Also head and shoulders is good for fungal specifically, which is probably the reason it works really well on her. But for other acne types it won’t really help that much. And more people have fungal acne then they think.
Yes!! I started doing that recently and haven’t had a zit since! My face is less red and I even use it on my shoulders (ooooh I get the name now) and the bacne is almost gone!
This made my life better! At 55, I have acne again, mostly on my jawline and shoulders. I also get sweaty, smelly, and rashy in body creases. A few days ago, I used zinc shampoo as a body wash. Holy Gee Bus! What an improvement in my skin. Thank you!
It sounds like you may have a Candida overgrowth, i suffered with it, and my doctor told me to use head and shoulders for my skin issues because it is an antifungal shampoo, it does work, and quickly. Have a Google on Candida overgrowth and see if you have any of the other issues that it can cause, such as bloating, depression, lethargy and many more. If not then I'm glad you have found relief to your issues 😊
I've heard of AHA, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid and everything else but never zinc! Interesting! I recently switched up my routine due to recommendations and my skin HATES it
My skin breaks out if I use salicylic acid because apparently I have a mild allergy to it. For so many years I used more of it thinking my skin was the problem but it ended up just being my skincare.
This NOT, I repeat NOT for people with sensitive skin! It has a strong amount of fragrance in! Linalool (component of fragrance) allergy is common, I have it. Please be cautious and always listen to your skin. Don't abuse it or you will damage your skin barrier. Even if you don't have sensitive skin this product is NOT meant for the face.
@@Stormy_Cloud there isn't an unscented version, even the new 'Bare' range has parfum (fragrance in it) not even the last ingredient listed so there's definitely a strong amount in it.
@@Stormy_CloudI don't thunk Head & Shoulder has one bur what tou could do is use it on the face in a very limited time per week. 3 times max I'd say. Give your skin plenty break time. But if you're still breaking out after, the chemicals are definitely too strong for you
i have been using this method and here is how it is gone: first day: i saw this video and immediately decided to take a shower. so i did and it was okay. first week: i noticed my face was starting to clear around my chin area. second week: got a face wash (acne clarifying cleanser from ELF) that had the ✨ZINC✨ in it. NEVER WORKED BETTER ISTG!! third week: my face cleared up and i could feel confident!! FIRST MONTH: i felt great! my skin was getting softer and i started to feel confident more and more in my own SKIN💕
She's right though. As a black American woman, I mostly would get my hair washed in the sink however the few time I would wash my hair in the shower, after the shampoo would run down my face, my skin would look amazing. It’s crazy because I thought about this today because i'm having some skin issue and now this was on my feed. I will do this for sure. Thanks for the tip!
Ive been saying this forever.. all I do for skin care is cerave facial cleanser when I shower and equate moisturizer. thats it, and my face is really clear most of the time. we see a lot of influencers making us feel bad if we dont buy and use every oil, toner, cleanser, whatever out there. the key is to know your personal skin type, and do what you need to do for it. if I used half the beauty products used in a 12 step skin care routine, I would literally break out in hives.
Fr, cleanser and sunscreen in the morning. Cleanser, retinol(or stronger retinoid) based creme and moisturiser in the evening. You dont need more, and the retinol stuff also only if you already have some wrinkles/skin imperfections that you want to get rid of.
i've come back to this video to say THANK YOU! This has been an absolute life saver! and not to mention the money i have saved. I started just using head and shoulders to wash my face in the shower and my skin has never ever been clearer. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! ❤
Yeah I remember using head and shoulder for my acne as a teen. It did clear my skin up, but at the expense of my moisture barrier. So my skin was left dull, dry, and ashy looking. It's not formulated for skin so it's way too stripping, especially if you have dry skin (news flash, excessive oil is also a symptom of dry skin). If you are going to do this, really double down on moisturising your skin properly.
@@tobecoolortobemethatistheq9390When you overdry your facial skin(well, this can be applied to the skin in general) with various products, it begins to secrete more sebum than normal to compensate for lost moisture

Hi elyse, thank you sm for making this video!! I've had horrible acne for the past several years. Washed it with head and shoulders for 2 days and now my face is almost completely clear. I'm shocked at how well this works :)
Best thing I ever did for my skin was stop wearing make up and just wash my face with water twice a day, and use a simple face wash a couple of times a week. My acne disappeared as soon as I stopped using skincare products.
I can’t believe this actually worked for me 😭 thank you! Also, for people who wear makeup remember to clean your brushes regularly, that was causing my acne as well, so I guess we have to be more aware of what we put on our face like towels, makeup brushes and pillow cases (but I also recommend seeing a dermatologist because it can be hormonal or other tipe of acne)
@@lamyasaleh I used the normal shampoo but only once a day because it can be really aggressive on the skin, also you need to wear something that hydrates your skin afterwards. Remember that this product only works on certain kinds of acne so I recommend seeing a dermatologist 👍

if you have sebaceous dermatitis (redness, flakiness, and little whiteheads in the crease of your nose) washing your nose with head and shoulders will also get rid of it but again this won’t work for everyone and be careful if you have sensitive skin edit: I forgot to mention washing your face with head and shoulders will only work to clear your skin if you have fungal acne or seborrheic dermatitis as these are both skin conditions caused by an overproduction of Malassezia yeast in the skin and zinc pyrithione (the active ingredient of head and shoulders) is an anti-fungal which is why it gets rid of it
@@-Oddish- your welcome! feel free to ask any questions if you have, I’m not a specialist or anything but as someone with both of those skin conditions I have done a lot of research on the two
@@yessicadelrio5014 it won’t work on regular bacterial or hormonal acne. using head and shoulders will only help to reduce fungal acne as it is not caused by bacteria but rather a specific kind of yeast overgrowth. there are many signs that suggest you have fungal acne such as: • dandruff in your eyebrows • your breakouts are mostly clustered small whiteheads or closed comedones • your face is itchy where the bumps are • normal acne products and ingredients do not help your skin but may even make it worse (ex. salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, benzol peroxide, etc.) if you have experienced any of these definitely look up images of fungal acne and how you can find out if that’s what you have. having fungal acne is very tricky, as you have to adjust your whole skincare and makeup routine as many products contain ingredients such as cetearyl alcohol (and many more) that feed this yeast overgrowth and causes more fungal acne to appear.
You are absolutely brilliant. Sadly this is not me…I rarely get breakouts, but I look like Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer and I don’t want to buy makeup or skin products. Idk if this would really achieve anything for me…
Honestly, less is more. I get asked what I do very often and the answer is: eat a lot of healthy fats, drink water, and use the least amount of skincare I can tolerate based on the climate/season. I'm an Esthetician and I used to have a CRAZY complicated routine. Never looked better while doing less.
In my opinion it’s what works for you that matters bc the dandruff stuff that you’re using doesn’t work with my skin but the “fancy” stuff causes much less breakouts
I approve of this message. I used to have horrible acne on my chest and back and I’ve been using head and shoulders for like a year and it has worked wonders. I haven’t had a break out in a long time.
@@_apoorva_07it might not help with the scars but might do away the acne gradually….just becareful every skin type is different…every reason for acne is different. Also for acne scars I recommend using Tretinoine ointment…works wonders for me and my siblings
Unless it's different in the US, as far as I'm aware head and shoulders in the uk doesn't contain zinc. I'm not sure if there are any other anti dandruff shampoos that do. Perhaps it's just another ingredient that's allowed in the US but banned in Europe
Youre the reason I picked up a bottle a few months ago! I still get an occasional acne spot but it's definitely SO much better! Thank yu for clarifying in this video that we can also used generic, I assumed it was just name brand!
I never had acne until I was in my 30’s, those hormones are rough man. 😭 I now have to take medication and most everything kills my face. I may need to give this a try, but it also terrifies me because of how badly I react to things now.
Test it out first just on one small portion of your face instead of your whole face, then gradually add in other areas until you see how your skin reacts to it. You can try zinc supplements as well. Skin issues are also indicative of things that may be going on in your digestive system, possibly food intolerances. Topically, retinol can be very helpful for managing acne, but it can be tricky if you have reactive skin, so I would recommend taking the same approach as mentioned above, starting with an over the counter retinol.
I've had deep cystic acne my entire life and Few things have helped it. I'm definitely going to try this. The other thing I've tried may help you... Only recently have I ever heard anything about needing to try to repair the skin barrier. I've only been concerned with fighting the acne attacks- and looking at my diet because I'd been told it was all hormones and diet. I think now it also may be a little because of how I irritated my skin trying to fight the acne. Johnny Ross posted a video about a technique called "slugging" where you put on your evening moisturizer, & whatever (I also have prescription Tretinoin) then putting a thin coat of petroleum jelly or CeraVe healing ointment on top. I had a huge breakout on my chin, but I figured... It can't get much worse! In the morning, my breakout area had calmed down immensely and started healing. I was shocked at the change. I honestly expected it to get much worse because of the CeraVe feeling oily. I'm really excited about this dandruff shampoo thing! Between that and the slugging, I may look 20 years younger soon!!!🥰
They weren’t kidding when they named it ‘HEAD and shoulders’
They never told you where to put it in your head

True 🤷🏻♀️
But it's true... also if you have a mild break on your skin due to the start of a fungal infection due to heat or shaffing this will work as well ... put this on, on the affected area(s) at the start if your shower then soap up like normal and then soap up the affected spots with the regular soap... when done make sure you dry completely and apply walmart brand (gold bold) power I use the extra strength to keep the moisture away until the spots heals completely

Let me tell you am doing this , my back acne and my face acne just vanished what blew my mind is I didn't get period acne this time to which I was looking forward to. 😂
what’s all the products you used?
@@anas4asia Shampoo (head and shoulders)
@@anas4asiaHead and Shoulders dandruff shampoo. It doesn't work for all types of acne, but is worth a try if you're going to use up the shampoo anyways
Head and shoulder shampoo😅@@anas4asia
Yes! What moisturizer do you use?
Is this why men with 3 in one products have flawless skin? Lol
Women are more hormonal and cycle affects as well so that's that
@@That_BrownGirlI’m a woman without skincare and I only have like one pimple and a few scars that are barely even visible.
The rest of my skin is smooth.
Men also shave which is exfoliative as well as lack of wide hormonal fluctuations. Many women break out because they do too much and throws off their barrier mantle. I recommend grapeseed oil as a cleanser if you want a one step routine.
@@dermaspaceSCmen don't have a lack of hormonal fluctuations at all. They actually fluctuate more than women do because they fluctuate daily as well as seasonally.
OH SH*T!!!!!! THIS THE MOST MIND EFING BLOWING COMMENT I'VE COME ACROSS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! ❤❤
To clarify; it has zinc pyrithione which helps for FUNGAL acne. That’s it.
Right because it didn’t clear my skin because I didn’t have that type of acne
@@HighFrequencyGuruGood you tried it, tho. Your input helps
Yeah everyone's skin is so different, we can't all just take one person's advice
It’s also soap
@@Erin-ho8qu its best to listen to actual dermatologists than uneducated civilians on the internet
Can confirm it works, I’ve been doing it for about 5 months now and my skin gets worse when I don’t use it
I ACTUALLY JUST CLEARED UP OVERNIGHT!!! I LOVE YOU
Did you just put it on your face
Side note: dandruff shampoo is also good for eczema.
Really??????
Can you tell us more?
It depends on the type of eczema. Fungal eczema can be made worse by head & shoulders because of the oils
@@69hikikomori okk thank you
Not mine it legit hurt me so bad and made my hair so damn dry never again I'm happy for y'all tho😊
Head and shoulders works best for a certain type of acne: fungal acne. Just be aware if you don't have this type of acne, it can make things worse (many people suffer from bacterial or hormonal acne). Skin care is really trial and error anyway, but if it doesn't work for you in 2 weeks, move on :)
Thabkyou. I'm sick of people spreading a product that they use as a cure all!
@@Natashajbyes, me too!!
Please don’t believe everything someone says online!
What works for some people won’t work for others, and can even make things worse or cause more issues!!
Please use common sense!
Thank you! Also, do you know if there's a way to see what kind of acne it is you have?
Yes, I had to stop with head and shoulders, because it was too aggressive on the skin on my head.
Correction : 3 weeks marks,no longer or shorter.
You really are a gem to give people honest advice with no ulterior motives but to help them. I’m starting to think that neurodivergence is just what kindness looks like among people who aren’t very.

She is really good at pretending to be athentic but she comes across contrived and inauthentic to me, maybe its just because im a normal human and not a middle class liberal from America. I think you guys seem to think you are all relatable but not many people can relate to you guys in reality, i just get this yucky feeling of fakeness from middle class people who use personality disorders for clout
yall just remember this isn't for everyone or every type of acne. it's mainly used for fungal acne .i tried using anti dandruff shampoo for what i thought was fungal acne but broke out so bad 😭 i feel like a good alternative to this would be the ordinary's niacinamide since it has zinc and has made my skin softer smoother and just better
Yeah. I do this on my back. But not on my face. It's very drying.
Actually, head and shoulders would dry out my scalp and hair so much! Had to stop. So it's not for everyone.
Can't you just use Zinc sunscreen during the day to help or Zinc stick? Or is this a different type of Zinc?
Here in Brazil we have a baby Butt ointment called hipoglós and I use that in my face.. the composition is basically retinyl palmitate, Cholecalciferol and zinc oxide.. now I know why my skin loves it.. the zinc in it i guess.. and i put with Rosehip oil, and my skin reacts so perfectly, specially after using tretinoin or after sun exposure on summer. and yes, I put baby butt ointment in my face🤡, is amazing for sunburn when you're at the pool or beach hahaahaahhauaau my mom used to put over my sunscreen in my nose tô not create the sunburn bubbles
Can i use it on my scaly eczema on my neck?
Head and shoulders prices after this: 📈📈📈📈
YES! Head and shoulders with eucalyptus is AMAZING. The cooling is so nice too
It's not for every body but thank you for being a voice in this area! Most of the products out there are overpriced and unnecessary and even make it worse! So hearing about the inexpensive potential options is helpful
does it work with mixed skin? Like skin that is half oily
Fr like with how much more common cancer has become you’d think it’s partially due to All these products the industry has us using. Especially women, alllll those pointless beauty products they made for made up insecurities so they could profit off us.
Yes, the zinc in this shampoo is lovely foe Many people. I am one of those people is ALLERGIC to it though. I also happen to be a Soapmaker! Because of those allergies,
I have some bad acne, but all I use is the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, Cetaphil lotion and epiduo. And that's it. Skin has never been clearer. I had been trying some 10 step stuff prior to this and my skin was way worse.
How do you know ? Maybe its Literally for everyone ,every single person?? ...well except for the allergic one ^^^😂😂
Just remember that yes this might work on a couple ppl, but not everyones bc everyones skin reacts differently
Zinc does work on anyone.
@@FactionalSkyLol… false… what about people with a zinc allergy?
@@calypselle2254 Exceptions do not negate regularity.
@@FactionalSkybut that means that it doesn’t work on everyone
@@peachii4894 well.. it does. it can have side effects on some people. does not mean it does not work.

This changed everything for me, I don't know where I originally saw this short but I've been using literally the same shampoo and my acne cleared up for the first time in a decade.
I'm allergic to a lot of skincare products. I've used head and shoulders as a shampoo and bodywash for years and get compliments on how soft and clean my skin is! This is totally true!
I USE IT AS A BODY WASH TOO!! i thought i was nuts for it for the longest time, this was so oddly comforting to hear 😭
@@hunnybunnie92747 Right? I've had people tell me I'm crazy for not having a 47 step skincare process but you gotta do what works for you!
This is my sign to switch over to hand and shoulders 😮
It's literally one of the worst shampoos I've ever used. Never had dryer hair then when I was using that.
I find it interesting how these things affect other people.
@@BlackHand531same here! My hair for super dry and good lord I have NEVER had that much dandruff in my entire life than I did when I used head and shoulders.
Great advice! It treats other kinds of fungal infections too! It can be used on the feet and between the toes for athletes foot (I’m a podiatrist)
Thanks. I've had Tinea Versicolour since i was little and nothing works for me. I'll try this then
Should just be called BODY
Damn is this just the miracle solution 💀💀
What about fungus?
Ohh I had not thought to use it for that
okay this literally has cured my acne. for YEARS i’ve had a multi-step process to treat my skin and while it gets rid of the big, deep pimples (caused by hormones or makeup for me), i couldn’t get rid of the tiny ones on my forehead no matter how hard i tried. i saw this, decided “what do i have to lose at this point” and within a week my forehead was clear for the first time in YEARS. now i know it was because of fungal acne, and wouldn’t have worked otherwise, but just your short getting me to try it has truly given me new confidence now that my skin is clear. thank you so much elyse
SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH
I believe this is what works great for fungal acne. If you have fungal acne your breakouts are probably itchy. Also it does not mean you are dirty for having itl!! It can come from towels depending on how/where they’re washed, from being humid outside, etc. some people are just more prone to it.
certain ingredients feed it from face washes and stuff, too!
Fungal “acne” is actually a type of irritation of the hair follicles due to an overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast on the skin
@@caleighh6 malassezia folliculitis
Thanks for the explanation!
Thats bc dandruff is a type of fungal thing. I think..thats what i was told at least. I kept using dandruff shampoo bc i thought thats what i had..but it continued to get worse and i tried every kind. I went and got my hair cut and asked the women while i was there and she told me its bc i dont have dandruff i have dry skin. And dandruff shampoo is used to dry the fungus out. So all i was doing was drying out my dry skin more. She suggested tea tree oil. I used it a few times a week and i havnt had an issue in like 5 years.
PSA please look for an UNscented version if you're going to try this!!!!!! The fragrance in a lot of new H&S products is really really intense and will be counterproductive.
Also stay far far away from the minty (menthol) stuff.
@@HealingByHomemaking No problem! ☺️ Hope it works well for you!! 🙏
@@rubya.p4437 Absolutely right! Menthol can be extremely irritating.
@@HealingByHomemakingi like vanicream for fragrance free stuff. They have zinc shampoo and zinc bars.
The shampoo smells like Elmer’s glue a bit, so not good but not bad either. And the smell doesn’t transfer to hair or skin.
yeah, the fragrance in H&S always made me break out (my mum swears by it) I used to use the Axe 2 in 1 shampoo / bodywash for dandruff but they discontinued it a few years back now.

@bendover04me I have acne all over my back and arms. Never thought of using H&S as a body wash. Great to know that it works!
Well you don’t have acne so duh
@@a_francy get on spironolactone. I had acne all over my face shoulders chest and back after the birth of my son. Turns out that’s a sign of high androgen levels in women. If you try the head and shoulders and it doesn’t work (it didn’t for me) get on a low dose of spironolactone and it’s utterly life changing. I no longer break out at all and have clear skin again.
You must not have problematic skin...
Out here saving lives elyse!!
i would also try the niacinimide and zinc serum from the ordinary! you can get it at like sephora or ulta for like $10 and it’s really good!!
The way you flinched to protect yourself from the haters before explaining yourself 😂 lysm
this works for fungal acne which lots of people suffer with on their forehead and stuff. unfortunately head and shoulders can do more damage than good for some people (myself) as the surfactant in it are harsh and there's artificial fragrance in it. BUT I'm saying that, it can work for some people for sure, and there are other zinc shampoos that are a little less harsh that are also fantastic for this issue. if it works for you keep it up!!! it's a money/life saver tbh, more people need to talk about it.
I wonder if there is a product with zinc meant for your face. There must be.
@@orchdork775 not over the counter that's widely available in my experience, I'm no dermatologist by any means whatsoever, but I worked at a Sephora for 3 years and got familiar with skincare ingredients and never found one. internet active dermatologist also recommended anti- dandruff shampoo as well funnily enough. it's something someone should be making tbh.
@@orchdork775 if there is, it’ll probably cost like 1000000$ 😭😭
@orchdork775 try diaper rash cream for sensitive skin. It'd perfect for sunburn and breakouts. Been using it for 20 years and my mother used it as far back as the early to mid 70s. Great spot treatment.
@@funsizedi88can you reccomend us the brand you use, please?🙏
Thank you so much! Now i have skin problems and acne for the past 3 months it helped me so much ❤
I use a cheap teenager moisturizer with salicilic acid and if I run out I can really tell the difference. I think you don't have to spend hundreds on skincare, just the kind that suits you...and your budget.
I somehow think I know EXACTLY what moisturizer you’re talking about.
@@cdbf98 Haha, I think there must be many, I'm dutch so I didn't name the one as probably no one can get it but the principle is the same. (just btw Kruidvat Pure Nourishing Step 5 Talg Reducerende Crème, it's 3 euros for a big tube and I use at most 2 a year I think)
Salicylic Acid is an exfoliant. It helps unclog pores and prevent blackheads. 👍
@@StopTheWorld65 Yups and my skin does very well with it, I can't imagine a expensive version doing much more. I'll never have a babysmooth face but break outs are minimal and it helps any skin where I removed hair.
@@StopTheWorld65 Yeah you see all these youtubers spending so much money and doing so many layers of them too. But in the end who can tell the difference?
An SPF to protect your skin, salicilic acid to prevent blocked pores and infections, especially with all the oil my skin makes. Moisturizer to keep things soft. I exfoliate when needed. None of costs much. Other people spend more than that in a month on a single small jarred cream with 0,0000005% seaweed in it.
zinc is no joke. I have a mineral sunscreen that’s zinc-based and when I’m wearing it regularly my skin is perfect, and it actively clears break outs. If I get a pimple I use the sunscreen and it goes away so fast!!
EDIT: sorry I didn’t include the name originally! I use etude house’s sunprise sunscreen in the “mild airy” finish. I’ve used it for a few years now, it’s nice because it doesn’t leave as bad of a white cast as other mineral sunscreens *cough* cerave. Also ymmv since we all have different skin types ofc, but sunscreen is always a must :)
Can you tell us the name of your Sunscreen?
Tell us the name pls
What brand is it and name ? Plz
Zinc oxide is used as sunscreen and it’s not the same as zinc pyrithione used in anti dandruff shampoo. Also zinc in no way clears acne besides the fact that zinc alone is a powder that can slightly absorb oil. That’s it.
@@maxbaltz2490which would be great for fungal acne as it dries it out
I love how you caught my attention at the start
So i tried using head and shoulders specifically because of this video. It has only been a few weeks and I'm already seeing improvement. I'll update again in a month or so.
Update: Hey! I know it's only been 3 more weeks but I wanted to share what I've found. My skintype is dry/combination with oiliness in the T-zone depending on the weather. Using head and shoulders does not dry my skin out, but I've been using a Moisturizer anyway and it's been working really well. I messed around with using it consistently vs not and I've noticed that if I stop using it I'll break out in 2-3 days. On the other hand, when I start using it again it takes 1-2 days for my skin to show improvement and about 1 week to clear completely. I haven't been using it as bodywash bc I really like the one I already use, but I imagine it would be effective for backne as well since mine started clearing up a little (which I assume is related, probably bc I rinse my hair as it lays on my back). My hair is also doing better! It's shinier and less frizzy. I have fine waves/light curls and I've found it mich more manageable. Maybe it's pavlovian idk but it seems to hold its curl better.
okok, ima drop the comment right here. tag me if u got changes to ur face😯
Here for the update
any update? i actually wanted to try this for my backne
Guys it's only been 7 days.. the person said she'll update in a month or so, so wait yuh
@@heidijean3905 we comment now to be notified in a month or so when they update the commemt
I think it definitely depends on your skin type, but I’m glad you’ve found what works for you
For sure.
Another pro tip: change your pillow cases at least once a week.
Your face is oily. 8 hours a night on the same pillow case after a couple nights can start to cause break outs.
Again, everyone is different, but highly recommend.
I love you. It’s weird to say that, but you’re one of the few “influencer” video people that actually feels like a real, and kind person.
Yeah, I love how casual, and informative Elyse's vids are. It just makes my day a little bit better whenever I stumble upon one of her shorts
I agree
What a sweet sincere thing to say. She brightens my day 😊
This cured my back acne! I saw your video and one other one so i saw it as a sign to try it, since I’ve tried everything else I could with no results. It almost completely got rid of the acne on my back. I went from looking like I had chicken pox to almost completely clear within 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier.
It’s because it’s treating what’s called yeast or fungal acne. People with dry scalp are prone to this type of acne.
High percentage zinc balm (for baby butts hehe) is also working quite well :) Just put it on your face over night. Works wonders!
This always works for me especially when I have an irritated nose from a cold!
Any specific brand that you would recommend ?
Would also like to know the name of brand if you have one!
I've heard the Burt's Bees one is good for this
@@evilsuguruI use the Destitin max strength one :) it has been really good and my very sensitive skin has loved it.
Zinc is actually medical used (as in lotions, pastes or pills) to increase wound healing. It also has a slightly desinfecting/ asepting effect on skin issues
I always put zinc paste on my mosquito bites!
Kills the itching instantly! 🤩👌
Glad I got that short recommended again. I've been using head and shoulders since I first watched it everyday with just a moisturizer afterwards and it completely changed my skin! It's flawless now - thank you
Ah just in time for my skin care era fixation thank u 😂
I cannot emphasize enough just how timely this advice is. I've been stressing over buying more face wash; I just feel like it's so expensive for what it is! I'll be going to Walmart today. Thank you so much!!!!
the reason she broke out is by trying new products. i used to make the mistake of trying a bunch of different kinds because i kept breaking out, and only had clear skin after sticking to one brand for like 6 months+ if u switch it up randomly ur skin gets fucked up again 😭
@@user-zb6rl7yq8f true! I bought the exact same bottle she shows in this short, so it will be months before I run out. Haven't used it yet, but thinking I'll add it to my current face wash bottle.
Dude note: this, like most modern shampoos, has dimethicone in it, which is terrible for hair but great for skin. It's what makes your hair feel silky when it's being used, but if you're using sulfate-free shampoo, the silicone builds up and can kill your hair.
Please also remember she is not a dermatologist or an esthetician and isn't qualified to give out advice for skincare products. This will not work for everyone, if you're looking for inexpensive drug store options try CeraVe cleansers.
@@nicolemccord7885does not hurt to try since the majority says it works 🥰 she doesn’t need a license to give an opinion
😂
So, just remember that everyone's skin reacts differently! I tried this, broke me out really bad. Oh well, at least i know for sure now😅
Same 🤦🏻♀️ idk why I even tried it when I already had clear skin now my face is disgusting and burns
Same 😊 broken out dried out flakes soreness ...no ty but for some it's definitely a lifesaver
Ty yall for the sacrifice❤😭😭😊
It worked for my sister for a while but gave her perioral dermatitis and hyperpigmentation because harsh products dry out your skin and dry skin is a skin conditions magnet.
can you please let me know what skin type you are?
Have been using this for a few months now. Honestly works better than any other face wash I've ever used. It did initially make my face burn for the first week or 2 because I have sensitive skin, but that stopped happening when my skin got used to it.
hii! well just a note to be aware of that this doesn't work for everybody. i tried this a couple of weeks ago, and my skin had burnt patches on it. (my cheeks to be specific) it hurt like hell and broke me out even more. keep in mind i did have small bumps and pimples while using it. so if you want to try this, please speak to a dermatologist about using it! i learnt the hard way, and i am recovering so not a big deal but yeahh!
As a man, water touching my face counts as skin care.
just in case it changes someone else's life like it did mine: if you have oily skin and nothing works, start treating it like dry skin. moisturizing wash and no astringents. oily skin (and hair!) is sometimes just dry skin that's overcompensating
Yes this was the case for me! The more facial oil i add the better my skin gets
Yes!!! I actually had such terrible skin I went to school to be an esthetician. I wanted to make sure others didn’t have to go through it like I did. What did I learn…
Drying your face out makes it more oily 😂 the logic… i was so upset that didn’t occur to me lol
💯 And the strangest part is none of the derms I saw over the years picked up on this! I just had to figure it out myself, and once I did, hello clear beautiful skin!
@@malyssa309 i know right? like why did it not occur to me to just be more gentle with it?? even with prescription skincare, it just seems like folks with acne get prescribed tougher and harsher treatments that make you itch and pick more and lead to scarring you can't get rid of even once your skin is clear.
so what exactly shall I use? Hydrating facewash and moisturizer to lock in the moisture, thats it?
I just want to thank you for this tip, I have huge insecurities about my acne and in under a week of using this as my face wash my face is brighter and clearer than ever!!! THANK YOU!!!!❤❤❤
Maybe your skin is different because alot of celebrities use the fancy stuff and their skin is flawless
I’m a stylist and this is still my #1 shampoo for people with oily scalp and dry hair.
Really?? I got curls that get frizzy
@kyrak.4143 It's a good shampoo as cleanser. I wash off oil with it, do a second wash with a no-sulfate shampoo then condition 👌
This is TERRIBLE for your hair. I can’t believe you recommend this to clients 💀💀💀
@@Suedepants100agreed, only thing my hairdresser recommended head and shoulders for was to strip hair dye, as its that strong.
@swanny2499 Why??? It works pretty well for me, what's wrong with head and shoulder
Licensed esthetician here...any sudden change to your skincare routine can cause breakouts. Using random products willy nilly (no matter how expensive) will do the same. If you continue to have break outs on your chin, it may be a hormonal shift as hormonal acne happens in that area. Not saying for you to stop using the shampoo -- if it's working for you, then cool. Grapeseed oil is a great cleanser should you need another option on the future.
This should be top comment!
@rynfornow3411 ty! Many people once past their mid-20s break out from their skin not being hydrated enough (which makes their skin produce more oil so they think they are oily), or their pH is thrown off (because most cleansers are alkaline and our skin is slightly acidic...this why folks need to use a toner after washing their face). The grapeseed oil avoids both issues. It's hydrophilic, so you can wipe off the excess with a damp rag. It's also mildly antiseptic and helps with inflammation and hyperpigmention. It's low on the comedogenic scale, so it's shouldn't cause pimples. I haven't had a person who didn't benefit from using this.
The dandruff shampoo is prob helpful because it's antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliative, but our skin needs change with time, esp after any large hormonal changes like having a baby or just from 20s-30s or perimenopause. So the shift to using different skincare stuff could potentially have been a coincidence rather the singular cause, but again sudden shifts can trip the skin out. It's why I recommend the grapeseed oil to get folks to a place of balance without making them take on an elaborate regiment. I've always thought Elyse has lovely skin, so I def want her to have the knowledge she needs to get her skin back to balance without her needing to do a lot of work for it.
Also head and shoulders is good for fungal specifically, which is probably the reason it works really well on her. But for other acne types it won’t really help that much. And more people have fungal acne then they think.
So if Zinc is helping why not just eat food with it or take the supplement 😮
I actually use grapeseed oil in my homemade beard oils. Perhaps I should think about a new product.
Yes!! I started doing that recently and haven’t had a zit since! My face is less red and I even use it on my shoulders (ooooh I get the name now) and the bacne is almost gone!
This was the most helpful thing ive seen all day, ive had problems my whole life 😅
This made my life better! At 55, I have acne again, mostly on my jawline and shoulders. I also get sweaty, smelly, and rashy in body creases. A few days ago, I used zinc shampoo as a body wash. Holy Gee Bus! What an improvement in my skin. Thank you!
Jawline acne can also comes from hormones.
Jawline acne can come from not washing ur face properly
It sounds like you may have a Candida overgrowth, i suffered with it, and my doctor told me to use head and shoulders for my skin issues because it is an antifungal shampoo, it does work, and quickly. Have a Google on Candida overgrowth and see if you have any of the other issues that it can cause, such as bloating, depression, lethargy and many more. If not then I'm glad you have found relief to your issues 😊
My dermatologist said the same thing & put me on meds for it - that helped.
Same thing just alum help me alot
The zinc is good for your skin I agree, but that’s why I use a zinc serum from the ordinary😂
I've heard of AHA, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid and everything else but never zinc! Interesting!
I recently switched up my routine due to recommendations and my skin HATES it

Can't they use an unscented version?
@@Stormy_Cloud there isn't an unscented version, even the new 'Bare' range has parfum (fragrance in it) not even the last ingredient listed so there's definitely a strong amount in it.
@@Stormy_CloudI don't thunk Head & Shoulder has one bur what tou could do is use it on the face in a very limited time per week. 3 times max I'd say. Give your skin plenty break time. But if you're still breaking out after, the chemicals are definitely too strong for you
i have been using this method and here is how it is gone:
first day: i saw this video and immediately decided to take a shower. so i did and it was okay.
first week: i noticed my face was starting to clear around my chin area.
second week: got a face wash (acne clarifying cleanser from ELF) that had the ✨ZINC✨ in it. NEVER WORKED BETTER ISTG!!
third week: my face cleared up and i could feel confident!!
FIRST MONTH:
i felt great! my skin was getting softer and i started to feel confident more and more in my own SKIN💕
Legit broke out my face. Thanks :)
She's right though. As a black American woman, I mostly would get my hair washed in the sink however the few time I would wash my hair in the shower, after the shampoo would run down my face, my skin would look amazing. It’s crazy because I thought about this today because i'm having some skin issue and now this was on my feed. I will do this for sure. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for your input ❤
Ive been saying this forever.. all I do for skin care is cerave facial cleanser when I shower and equate moisturizer. thats it, and my face is really clear most of the time. we see a lot of influencers making us feel bad if we dont buy and use every oil, toner, cleanser, whatever out there. the key is to know your personal skin type, and do what you need to do for it. if I used half the beauty products used in a 12 step skin care routine, I would literally break out in hives.
This combo makes my face really red and itchy. I just use equate face wash now and cetaphil moisturizing cream. Not the one made for your face though.
This is for poor people lol
Fr, cleanser and sunscreen in the morning. Cleanser, retinol(or stronger retinoid) based creme and moisturiser in the evening. You dont need more, and the retinol stuff also only if you already have some wrinkles/skin imperfections that you want to get rid of.
@@Dennisthemenis94what's wrong with being poor? what's wrong with not wanting to use 100 products on my face?

@@bokbomanharder to get rid of the acne that could come from head & shoulders
Yeah I remember using head and shoulder for my acne as a teen. It did clear my skin up, but at the expense of my moisture barrier. So my skin was left dull, dry, and ashy looking. It's not formulated for skin so it's way too stripping, especially if you have dry skin (news flash, excessive oil is also a symptom of dry skin). If you are going to do this, really double down on moisturising your skin properly.
What wait how is excessive oil a symptom of dry skin
@@tobecoolortobemethatistheq9390When you overdry your facial skin(well, this can be applied to the skin in general) with various products, it begins to secrete more sebum than normal to compensate for lost moisture
@@tobecoolortobemethatistheq9390 When your skin is extremely dry, it starts ramping up oil production to compensate for the dryness.

I started skincare like 2 months ago and I used some serums and new cleaners and i started to get breakouts on my face Today I use ONLY bar soap on my face and my skin is so clear✨
HONESTLY!!! I mean any dandruff one does. I’ve had acne that makes me look like a teenager but I’m like practically 30! I use the dove men anti dandruff and when I tell you I’ve never seen my face look so clear I mean it! Only time I get it back is if I stop using it which I do take breaks because I don’t want it to ruin my face buttt once back on it it’s clear! Wonders I tell you thank you so much elyse!!!!
pls don’t do this if you have sensitive skin- you WILL get a chemical burn and it’s drying af
Anti-dandruff shampoo gives me aggressive irritated acne. So it definitely doesn't work for everyone.
SLS always causes a scab up on me. Couldn't pay me enough to put it on my face.
They sho}
Surprised i dont have one for sensitive skin seeing as they've been around so long and products do touch ur skin accidentally
Head and shoulders gave me chemical burns on my scalp... my roots were sticky from the puss coming from my scalp for a week... im not touching that shampoo again 😂 and I do not have sensitive skin or scalp
Elyse!!!! I immediately drove to the store and bought the soap!! Two washes and I have glass skin 🥰 you’re out here saving lives
Hey there what skin type are you? I'm considering this because I'm running a little low with my products but I don't want to screw myself over in the end
Yes! Itd be helpful to know
Sounds delulu
@@ilickgrandmas2854how? zinc is the active ingredient in these shampoos and zinc can have beneficial effects on some skin types/acne types. what's delulu abt that babe
@@fairygrl999 it's delusional to think you have glass skin after two washes with ANY facial cleanser. Someone's skin doesn't transform overnight unless you had a deep treatment session with a derm or licensed professional. Zinc aids in reducing acne related swelling and redness, it doesn't magically turn your skin into "glass skin" unless OP doesn't know what glass skin means to begin with. If they have fungal acne it works as an anti-inflammatory brilliantly, but glass skin? Yeah no
I love multi functional! Thanks!
Hi elyse, thank you sm for making this video!! I've had horrible acne for the past several years. Washed it with head and shoulders for 2 days and now my face is almost completely clear. I'm shocked at how well this works :)
Super weird, I just had my boyfriend buy me head and shoulders today and I also get breakouts on my chin. I’m definitely going to try this, thank you!
❤❤❤ going to buy some today!!
How it is?
Tell me the updates
Did you tried?
Update pls😬
Best thing I ever did for my skin was stop wearing make up and just wash my face with water twice a day, and use a simple face wash a couple of times a week. My acne disappeared as soon as I stopped using skincare products.
facts i had major skin issue my dermatologist told me to use dandruff shampoo and it cleared right up! also love you channel ❤
so THIS is why men have such clear skin
That, but mostly because they don't have the huge mess of hormones like women do
not true. they don’t have hormonal changes like women do, because our body is always preparing us to get pregnant
I can’t believe this actually worked for me 😭 thank you!
Also, for people who wear makeup remember to clean your brushes regularly, that was causing my acne as well, so I guess we have to be more aware of what we put on our face like towels, makeup brushes and pillow cases (but I also recommend seeing a dermatologist because it can be hormonal or other tipe of acne)
Hi , should I use Head & Shoulders or the product that the girl uses in the clip?
@@lamyasaleh I used the normal shampoo but only once a day because it can be really aggressive on the skin, also you need to wear something that hydrates your skin afterwards.
Remember that this product only works on certain kinds of acne so I recommend seeing a dermatologist 👍
@@dianav1131 I don't understand what you mean by Normal Shampoo? :) +Can I moisturize my skin afterwards with QV Cream? It's the only expensive product I own ~~
If your issue has to do with hormones, good luck 😂
@@KittyD859 Dietary and lifestyle changes are the best for treating hormonal acne. :)
that is so true i dont use fancy stuff but my face is still so good
Seriously I was sceptical af but holy fuck my skin is clearing up.. it's even saying C U BYE to my cystic acne..
if you have sebaceous dermatitis (redness, flakiness, and little whiteheads in the crease of your nose) washing your nose with head and shoulders will also get rid of it but again this won’t work for everyone and be careful if you have sensitive skin
edit: I forgot to mention washing your face with head and shoulders will only work to clear your skin if you have fungal acne or seborrheic dermatitis as these are both skin conditions caused by an overproduction of Malassezia yeast in the skin and zinc pyrithione (the active ingredient of head and shoulders) is an anti-fungal which is why it gets rid of it
@@-Oddish- your welcome! feel free to ask any questions if you have, I’m not a specialist or anything but as someone with both of those skin conditions I have done a lot of research on the two
Is it ok to youse if you have acne and my skin is not sensitive so idk 🤷♀️
@@yessicadelrio5014 it won’t work on regular bacterial or hormonal acne. using head and shoulders will only help to reduce fungal acne as it is not caused by bacteria but rather a specific kind of yeast overgrowth.
there are many signs that suggest you have fungal acne such as:
• dandruff in your eyebrows
• your breakouts are mostly clustered small whiteheads or closed comedones
• your face is itchy where the bumps are
• normal acne products and ingredients do not help your skin but may even make it worse (ex. salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, benzol peroxide, etc.)
if you have experienced any of these definitely look up images of fungal acne and how you can find out if that’s what you have. having fungal acne is very tricky, as you have to adjust your whole skincare and makeup routine as many products contain ingredients such as cetearyl alcohol (and many more) that feed this yeast overgrowth and causes more fungal acne to appear.
You are absolutely brilliant. Sadly this is not me…I rarely get breakouts, but I look like Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer and I don’t want to buy makeup or skin products. Idk if this would really achieve anything for me…
Hormonal acne gang 😔 once a month my face gets a new coating of puss blossoms. Right as the previous ones were about healed.
THIS IS WHY MEN HAVE IMPECCABLE SKIN THEY USE 20 IN ONE SHAMPOO WHICH WOULD HAVE THIS
Right?? 😂 👀 like, all the “fancy stuff for women” is a scam ??? 👀😗
If this was true nobody on this planet would have acne.
omfg, I was unintentionally doing this for years and stopped because I thought it must've been damaging my skin, I'm such a goober
For real, it's been 2 years. I don't even do it everyday, it's great
Honestly, less is more. I get asked what I do very often and the answer is: eat a lot of healthy fats, drink water, and use the least amount of skincare I can tolerate based on the climate/season. I'm an Esthetician and I used to have a CRAZY complicated routine. Never looked better while doing less.
I vouch for this. Get the eucalyptus type and it’s like a spa… I use it as body wash too.
Omgg I have body acne 😩 gonna try this
Goona try it on my body first lets see if it works 😅
I will try it .
I love the eucalyptus one, makes my skin feel the cool burn.
Thanks for the personalized tip. ❤
In my opinion it’s what works for you that matters bc the dandruff stuff that you’re using doesn’t work with my skin but the “fancy” stuff causes much less breakouts
I approve of this message. I used to have horrible acne on my chest and back and I’ve been using head and shoulders for like a year and it has worked wonders. I haven’t had a break out in a long time.
Woahhh it works for body acne as well..?????!!!!!! I have acne scars too, will the shampoo help me witht that?
@@_apoorva_07it might not help with the scars but might do away the acne gradually….just becareful every skin type is different…every reason for acne is different. Also for acne scars I recommend using Tretinoine ointment…works wonders for me and my siblings
Im goign to the store my chest and back are fulll of acne😭
my sister had rlly bad forehead acne and acne on her body until she started using head and shoulders, also approve!
elyse you are an angel
Please show us your routine 🙏 thanks so much for this info queen
She just said she doesn't have a routine
Unless it's different in the US, as far as I'm aware head and shoulders in the uk doesn't contain zinc. I'm not sure if there are any other anti dandruff shampoos that do. Perhaps it's just another ingredient that's allowed in the US but banned in Europe
Youre the reason I picked up a bottle a few months ago! I still get an occasional acne spot but it's definitely SO much better!
Thank yu for clarifying in this video that we can also used generic, I assumed it was just name brand!
I never had acne until I was in my 30’s, those hormones are rough man. 😭 I now have to take medication and most everything kills my face. I may need to give this a try, but it also terrifies me because of how badly I react to things now.
update us please!!! does it work for you?
Test it out first just on one small portion of your face instead of your whole face, then gradually add in other areas until you see how your skin reacts to it.
You can try zinc supplements as well. Skin issues are also indicative of things that may be going on in your digestive system, possibly food intolerances.
Topically, retinol can be very helpful for managing acne, but it can be tricky if you have reactive skin, so I would recommend taking the same approach as mentioned above, starting with an over the counter retinol.
I've had deep cystic acne my entire life and Few things have helped it. I'm definitely going to try this. The other thing I've tried may help you...
Only recently have I ever heard anything about needing to try to repair the skin barrier. I've only been concerned with fighting the acne attacks- and looking at my diet because I'd been told it was all hormones and diet. I think now it also may be a little because of how I irritated my skin trying to fight the acne.
Johnny Ross posted a video about a technique called "slugging" where you put on your evening moisturizer, & whatever (I also have prescription Tretinoin) then putting a thin coat of petroleum jelly or CeraVe healing ointment on top. I had a huge breakout on my chin, but I figured... It can't get much worse!
In the morning, my breakout area had calmed down immensely and started healing. I was shocked at the change. I honestly expected it to get much worse because of the CeraVe feeling oily.
I'm really excited about this dandruff shampoo thing! Between that and the slugging, I may look 20 years younger soon!!!🥰
