    People need to keep in mind that when you start a skin routine, you need to give it 6 weeks. Your skin will look worse(purge) before it looks better. It's not a fast process but you gotta stick with it and be patient. Alot of people give up after 2 weeks because their skin breaks out but you gotta push past it.

      It depends, I don't believe in skin purging unless it is a skin care given as a prescription by a dermatologist and they already mention purging as a side effect. Especially if the purging is not in a form of acne or white/blackheads. I would prefer to stop using the product.

      @@AnnaBrown99this was my experience with Tretinoin when prescribed it and started using it. I was warned it would cause acne under the skin to surface, but that after 4 weeks the acne would start to calm down which it did. But I agree if it red and irritated and lots of peeling you don’t push thru that.

    Benzoyl peroxide has actually cleared my cystic acne and prevents bacteria from forming. Salicylic acid isn’t as effective but it works best for me in toners or chemical treatments. I would suggest incorporating both if you have acne but you will also need a good moisturizer and hydrating serum 😊

    Couple Salicylic Acid with Benzoyl Peroxide, and you have a winner!! Combining these together has cleared my acne completely. I use Salicylic Acid soap in the morning, and Benzoyl Peroxide paste at night. Now I only get ONE pimple every once in awhile, and it goes away far more quickly. This combo has kept new acne from coming in. I also use Frankincense and myrrh soap (at night with the benzoyl peroxide), and aloe vera moisturizer twice a day, and it's been a game changer. After my acne cleared, I was left with very noticeable acne scarring, but the frankincense/myrrh soap and aloe vera moisturizer are slowly but surely fading away the scars! Using cold water only has made it even better in reducing the inflammation and redness in my face. It's all a slow process, but it's well worth it!

    I use a SA cleanser everyday. Then 2% SA solution every week. And also 7% glycolic acid toner every week. Don’t over exfoliate because it will damage your skin barrier and makes you super sensitive. I also use Vitamin C to lighten hyperpigmentation from acne scars. Its working great.

    Salicylic acid is good but it doesn’t prevent new acne from forming. For oily skin, keep your routine simple, respect your skin and don’t be over aggressive with it.
    If you can handle the side effects, use Tretinoin and a moisturiser as a buffer like Cerave. And that’s it. Personally, I couldn’t handle the tension headaches from tret, so I’m now using Azelaic acid, which is doing okay. I believe eating lots of fruit and veg and keeping hydrated helps your skin from
    within. Don’t just rely on products, they’re just part of a bigger picture.

      You are not wasting anyone's time, we love your questions and are here to help :)
      You won't notice the best results unfortunately with a cleanser with 2% salicylic acid, as cleanser's are not on the skin long enough to penetrate as deep into the skin.
      You are better off with BHA liquid exfoliant which you leave on the skin. You may experience skin purging and that's when your skin breakouts more than usual due to using active ingredients on the skin. This is a good thing as the product is doing it's job and can last 4-6 weeks.
      You will start to notice results between 6-12 weeks. However you will need to look at also adding different ingredients. Salicylic acid is the best exfoliating ingredient for Acne, beside retinol.
      I highly recommend you to watch these 2 videos on Acne Skincare Routines. They are both very affordable brands and will give you much better results than Neutrogena.

      I’ve been using the pink grapefruit version for the last 5 weeks and it’s completely lifted all of my congestion and blackheads out of my pores. I leave it on the skin for 3-5 minutes and then follow up with a moisturiser of course and that’s all I use.
      It has blasted all of my congestion/blackheads and has made my skin smooth with no texture and less acne.
      Skinzone is completely wrong in saying that these cleansers are not effective and don’t “penetrate” the skin because they’re not on the skin long enough that’s false.

      @@williamk7035 Hi William, sounds great you are having great results with your pink grapefruit exfoliant. You are leaving it on for 3-5minutes which is perfect.
      Salicylic acid penetrates deeper into the epidermis as it is oil soluble to work from the inside out but it needs to be on the skin long enough to actually do anything.
      Cleansers are to balance the skin's PH, remove excess oil, dirt and sweat from the day.
      When you cleanse you are only leaving the product on the skin for 30seconds at the most, unless you are leaving it on for 2-3minutes - which the common person does not.
      Compared to a stay on liquid exfoliant, the results from using a cleanser that contains salicylic acid will not be as effective and that is why we recommend a liquid exfoliant that contains salicylic acid over a cleanser.

    • @SkinZoneTV
      @SkinZoneTV  Рік тому +3

      Hey there, that is because retinol is also exfoliating. You don’t use both together or on the same day :)
      Over exfoliating will cause an impaired skin barrier and can either lead to excessive oil flow with breakouts or dry sensitive skin.
      Retinol is excellent, but you need to be mindful how often you use that and salicylic acid.
      I would have a break from actives until your skin clears up and then slowly reintroduce xx

    here’s what I have and have even using for the past 2-3 weeks:
    morning: CeraVe SA cleanser and the CeraVe moisturizing cream
    night: CeraVe SA cleanser, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution and the CeraVe moisturizing cream
    I use the ordinary’s salicylic acid every night. On the package it says to use twice a day but I thought it would be too rough for my skin. is this okay? should i use it more or less?

    • @SkinZoneTV
      @SkinZoneTV  2 роки тому +53

      Great question! After treating hundreds of clients with their skin concerns we find exfoliating that often is way too much and strips your skin’s barrier (the acid mantle)
      Unfortunately some brands still list you can use it daily when it should be personalised for each person but No more than 3 x per week.
      Because you have been struggling with acne you could also add a retinoid to your routine.
      I would cut it back to using your salicylic acid 2 x per week but also incorporate a retinoid which you could include on the alternative nights with 1 or 2 recovery night.
      It could look like this
      Morning - cleanse, moisturise
      Night 1 - cleanse x 2, salicylic acid solution, moisturise
      Night 2 - cleanse x2, retinoid, moisturise
      Night 3 - cleanse x 2, moisturise (recovery night)
      Night 4 - cleanse x 2, moisturise (recovery night)
      REPEAT

      My advice is to not switch to other products quickly, start off slow introducing new products, otherwise you're going to interrupt your skins process into getting used to the product.
      Avoid tretinoin unless advised by a dermatologist. Try and use salicylic acid as it is best for acne prone skin, but only use a light layer, if it does irritate you can switch to lactic acid, but that does not penetrate deep into the skin as much as salicylic acid.

    Am:
