I’m just a 41 year old lady constantly learning so much from this incredibly talented, intelligent, and genuine human. Hyram, thank you for all you do.
I don't know how this video hasn't gotten more engagement. It is very much appreciated!
Honestly, I just became a Licensed Esthetician and you putting everything together is amazing. I thank you for this. I love to refresh my mind on skincare ingredients and this video will be a very helpful way for me to come back to just in case I need to! Thank you so very much, Hyram!
Yes ingredients 101, thank you! More please.
Please make this a series for like all types of skin care (like retinol vs tretinoin, alpha arbutin etc)!! Really, really appreciate it and am LOVING this!!! You look so happy too! It feels like og hyram is back uwu
i would sit and watch you for hours explaining every single skincare ingredient in a lot of depth! please please please PLEASE do more of this type of video!
Thank u!! Finding a good routine w actives to fight my hormonal acne is such a difficult journey so really appreciate this
I love salicylic acid clears my pimples right up i highly recommend for acne prone skin
I broke out in perioral dermatitis and I’ve been getting glycolic acid peels that had worked wonders for me.
Please, pLEASE continue series like this one. A newly licensed esthetician and i felt the education i received was just too simple and bland. I love refreshing my brain with videos like yours that actually have knowledge that stick to my brain and i note take while you speak
I recently tried a vitamin c product for the first time. I've always avoided vitamin c and its derivatives, I felt too overwhelmed picking a product with so much conflicting information online about what makes a good vitamin c product and how some of them probably don't even work (and because of so much misinformation out there too!).
But I bought the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution from The Ordinary and I use it in the mornings with three drops of Pycnogenol, it's made my skin look sooo much better
And I also tried copper peptides for the first time too, so I think my progress is the result of incorporating these two into my routine. I struggled with pretty bad adult acne and was left with so much PIE, but it's almost all gone now 🥰
I'm here for Hyram's skincare rap album! 🖤💜
Azelaic acid changed my skin so much!! Love it! The product you recommended is my holy grail!
Love your informative video! Love you too! Can you do a video for us older gals with “mature skin” of all skin types? I’m so confused with all the products out there. 🙏🏼❤️
Love this video! Would love an updated video on what to mix and what not to mix with chemicals / active ingredients. I know you have one from the past but I find myself having new products and googling can I mix azelaic acid with retinol ect. Been a long time subscriber and love watching you grow ❤❤❤
Hyram: one correction: GLYCOLIC acid has the smallest molecule, and that's why it can go deeper, NOT SALICYLIC acid.
this video was so helpful! i can’t wait to revamp my skincare routine 😼
Good lord the glycolic acid at night advice is the best I’ve heard for ages. Even with SPF on it makes my skin singe in typical grey cloudy british daylight
Hyram, u bring such joy. Thank u for all that u do for us. I think ur very special. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How r u such a knowledgeable human? Love uuuuuu
Tbf there are a lot more knowledgable creators on here, he got quite a few things wrong.
Thank you for this breakdown!
Hyram! Can we use vitamin C and Niacinamide in the same routine? Ex. Vitamin c in the morning, Niacinamide at night??
Thank you for this video❤
yes, that is the way!
Thank you so much for the clear explanation! I've been waiting on this for so long. Can you make a video on which acids can be used together? Greetings from Belgium (Bruges) ♥
I use isntree chestnut aha 8% that has 4% glycolic and 4% lactic acids that is very gentle.....it has centella for soothing too
Such a easy but informative explanation! Thanks so much! Feeling less confused purchasing serums now fot sure!
Glycolic Acid has been helping me prevent and treat current milia too! :D one of my favorite acids!
Ok let's correct a few things:
1) Salicylic acid is not the smallest molecule, it's actually quite big in comparison to say glycolic acid and hence it stays more on the surface of the skin, the difference is that it is oil soluble so it can get into the pores easily and exfoliate within them;
2) Ascorbic acid derivatives absolutely do not have enough evidence to claim it will work as well as pure form, I get that you have to sell the product of your sponsor but let's not be dishonest about what they can do;
3) Hyaluronic acid does not "hold 1000x it's own weight in water", that's purely a marketing claim not based in reality, it also doesn't "pull" water from the environment or your skin, it's not a magnet and only binds to what it comes in direct contact with;
4) You can use exfoliants in the morning routine, sunscreen is needed regardless.
Timestamps would have helped !!!
Hi hyram I found this helpful
What a useful video, thanks Hyram. Always appreciate your knowledge
Thank you for this video Hyram!
thank you i was so confused love ur content
So glad I found you! Your video is super helpful.
Can you do a part two for lesser known acids? Also one products that has a lot of these acids in it is the strawberry acid serum by glow recipe, I love the brand!
Lesser known 🤨 I think there's no lesser known lol if there was I don't think they're important enough to even mention
I just started the video, but if Hyram doesn’t cover acids like azaleic, tranexamic, and pantothenic then I definitely want another video too! I feel like I’m missing some vital info bc these are in some of my products but I haven’t researched them
Why would you come into the comments of a free information video just to demand better free information? Hire a dermatologist and pay them
What about the most important one 4 hyperpigmentation, tranexamic acid. It’s best to be paired with Azelaic acid but wonder why its so hard to find one that has em both
Curology offers customized formulas based on your skin needs/goals. I got a prescription formula with tretinoin, tranexamic acid and azelaic acid 👌🏼👌🏼
It's not the most important one by a long shot, the evidence behind it working topically is quite limited and dubious at best.
It is not even proven scientifically to work topically. Thus, it is not the most important at all.
Might not be proven, but works very well 4 me, they are lighter I think!
@@Lazychick83 Even though most scientists are dubious of any claims being made about topical tranexamic acid, I am curently doing a split face study on mysef. It is important not to judge results using a product that has any other hyperpigmentation actives in it other than tranexamic acid. Example: If there is niacinamide or potassium azeloyl diglycinate in your serum, how would you know if it is the tranexamic acid that is fading your hyperpigmentation? I am using a 5% pure solution of tranexamic (I am a scientist & formulate my own skincare) on the left side of my face. I still use my normal skincare routine on my entire face! So far there is no noticable reduction in my melanin based hyperpigmenttion (I only a few small "age spots"), but the tranexamic has had a noticable effect on my rosacea prone areas. It really seems to reduce redness & inflammation. That is worth it alone for me as long as the results continue. Note: As you can see, I was just pointing out that tranexamic acid is clearly not the most important acid used in skin care...but that doesn't mean it is useless!
Great video!
It's weird, but I have used 2 moisturizers of different brands containing NIACINAMIDE,
and both of them have irritated my sensitive skin, the same way if I used
a moisturizer with Glycolic, Salicylic acids .
I don't know how NIACINAMIDE is working, but it has the same irritating results on my skin
mandelic is that girrrrlll! love the face reality serum!
Hi Hyram, I have heard one should not use niacinamide and vitamine C together. Is that true?
The video I didn't know I needed 😂❤
Hyaluronic acid pulling water from the skin in dry environments is not true! In any skincare product, there's anough water for it to not be an issue
This lie is becoming ridiculous. I dispel it everywhere I see it as well. Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty Science has put alot of reaserch hours into proving it is not true as well. Where would it be pulling the water from? Our dermis..which is about 60% water and constantly being supplied with new water from within our bodies? If this process was even possible, it would make HA 100X better than it already is. You would be able to claim it can draw any water you drink to the skin's surface via the dermis. How plump our skin would be!!!
I’d love more video reviews of K-beauty products ❤
You should talk about Malic and Tartaric acid eventually!
Hyram, I have a question. If an acid is extracted from nuts, could you get an allergic reaction to it if you have a nut allergy?
Yes
His my honestly best skin care angel❤❤❤ since I watch your vedio honestly change my intire skin life ❤❤❤ thanks hyram forever fan
Paula's choice azelaic acid save my skin!
Peach Slices the sister company of Peach & Lily has a really good Azelaic acid I use daily!
Wow! Hey!! I am here first!! Love you videos! So helpful!
“Do I have untapped potential as a skincare rapper?”
I woulc appreciate a little more information tied in about BHA, AHA (because you did mention PHA)
Hey! I have a quick question if anyone can help. So in my late teens I’ve had my fair share of acne. A little while back I discovered the miracle that is pimple patches. I bought a pack of the peach slice acne spot dots and they did an amazing job, my pimples disappeared in like a day or two. Once I ran out I bought another pack, only this time, the patches didn’t help at all. I figured maybe it was just a bad batch so I got another pack. This time they still didn’t help with my pimples AND they were really painful to take off. They left sticky residue on my skin and would sometimes leave me bleeding. I decided to try the Panoxyl pimple patches instead and they still don’t help much and are uncomfortable to remove. I don’t think I have overly sensitive skin. Can your skin become sensitive to pimple patches over time? What should I do?
Are the Ordinary's Azelaic and Mandelic any better thn the ones you recommended?
Hyram, please make a video about facial oil. I would love to know an oil that help me to do my gua sha but I'm afraid of breakout
Hi! I have a question. If I use different acids, do I have to use it separately? Like to wait 3 days between each ? Thank you !
Really useful information Hyram, thank you! 🙏🏼🇦🇺
Can you please do a video on cheap skin care products that will last you a long time? I keep running out of sunscreen 😭
This video is a bit bright Hyram I feel like I need sunglasses looking at you 😎😂❤
Ok drama
do you still recommend the pipette sunscreen ?
Is it okay to use azelaic acid and mandelic acid on alternating days?
Hyram my skin is so bumpy help 😭
You should go see a dermatologist 😊
Same
Naturium body washes and lotions with acids may help!
Yes the Naturium body washes are really good and you can find them at Target. Their KP body scrub is really good and should help as well.
That could be a symptom of many different issues that all require different treatments, so go see a professional who can assess your skin and who’ll be able to recommend an appropriate solution for you!
Hi hryam hope you are doing amazing. I’m confused on my skin type I don’t know if I’m normal or dry because my nose gets oily but the rest of my face get dry I would say. So I’m confused! 😅
Hi do you know of any recommendations for body scrubs for dry skin
Subbed (: ngl I don’t watch many skin care people but I watch you cause you have good personality and editing and knowledge
Literally nowadays don’t sub to many creators but you’re one of the few that I subbed to this whole year
Why skip retinoic acid , tranexamic acid & kojic acid etc 😅
is mandelic acid for night as well?
Aw man he didn’t mention whether or not some of the acids were ok to use in the day or night. Guess I’ll have to do my own research lol 😮💨
There's a mandelic acid body wash from naturium.....is that good?
Can you try Y’OUR skincare please?
Please react to Nina dobrevs skincare routine x
Thank you so much for this video ❤
I've been trying to use the Paulas choice 2% aha and bha for over two months now and it made me break out so bad and never made my skin better. I do have dry skin but i struggle with acne so i was hoping itd help me but it actually made it so much worse. Helpppp
I LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤❤
YIKES -- Lactic acid is generally NOT derived from milk.
Yassss skincare rapper 😂😂😂
How long will yur code work?????
What about kojic acid ?.
Muah to you. Faaaaabulouz content!
@hyram can I dm you about some questions about sunscreens because man I’m tired of wasting money of certain ones and I end up with a freakin cast looking like Barney
Hyram! I have a video idea for you!!!
Thanks for the acid breakdown!
For anyone who wants to try ferulic acid but might be sensitive to vitamin C, Kiehl’s makes a Ferulic Acid Brew with lactic acid and squalane. :)
Hi!!❤
I feel like azeliac acid peels on my face tho, so that really stinks
Yes, it is known for causing *pilling. Although that is also formula dependent and how much time you give it to sink in matters.

TYVM! This is the vid we needed! 🤍
❤
He’s saying ascorbic acid wrong. It’s (uh-s-korbic). I also disagree when he says you should only use aha’s / glycolic and azelaic acid at night. You can definitely use them in your daytime skin care routine as long as you’re wearing your sunscreen.
Yep, and one should be wearing sunscreen regardless of whether they used the exfoliant in the am or pm.
@@morgianasartre6709 💯
That is not how you pronounce ascorbic acid. I did not listen to Hyram so I don't know what he is saying, but I am a biochemist and it is (ah-scor-bic) with emphasis on the middle syllable. I don'y know why you typed uh instead of ah or why you have the s isolated. You are correct about being able to use acids day or night.
@@debSGSS because when defining a word you put it in how it would sound when said. The way you put it is confusing. I put ‘uh’ to let people know that’s how you pronounce the ‘a’ in ascorbic. The way you put it would make one think you pronounce the ‘a’ in ascorbic like saying apples. So if I’m defining the word apples it would be (ah-pples) like you put it, but that’s not how you would say ascorbic. The ‘a’ in ascorbic is pronounced like the word up…
@@adrian102 I took many years of graduate level organic chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, etc. The word ascorbic IS said with an "ah" sound. It is pronounced with an unstressed soft a, not a a soft u. And there is absolutely no separation of the s from the korbic like you wrote. The 3rd syllable is "bik not "korbic". I looked up multiple pronounciation websites to make sure I have not lost my mind.
ua-cam.com/video/sGtSPfK5dhk/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/s_i5IAzctHI/v-deo.html
Here is the Cambridge dictionary pronounciation guide which shows the phonetic symbols. Notice that the a in ascorbc is represented by / follwed by an upside down e. This is what known as "the schwa" in phonetics.
dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/ascorbic-acid
To be fair, if you listen to the UK man pronounce ascorbic, he does say "uh", while the US man says "ah".
In addition, apple is NOT said with an "ah" sound. The a in apple is phonetically represented by 'aep. It is not represented by the schwa. The a in apple only sounds like "ah" if you have a British/Australian accent.
Note: I listened to Hyram and he is pronouncing it wrong, but only because he is not pronouncing the first c. He is saying asorbic acid instead of ascorbic acid. OMG That is wild!
So much inaccurate info here, Hyram has not been keeping up it seems 😵💫
I use a glycolic acid toner at night and I have sensitive skin everyone's skin is different
Fun fact, salicylic acid / willow bark are actually the active ingredient in aspirin. 😊
No. That is false. The active ingredient in asprin is acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). They are chemically related by both being salicylates, but ASA is a drug with very different characteristics. In addition, willow bark does not contain salicylic acid either. Willow bark contains a natural compound called salicin that can (under certain circumstances) be metabolized to salicylic acid by the body.
Hyaluronic acid definitely turns on me in Utah ☠️
I might be wrong but didn't they debunk the whole "can hold 1000x its weight" thing?
Yep, it was debunked (with a few other things he said, I'm guessing he is too busy with other things to keep up with skincare knowledge and developments).
No. Some fools who don't understand what it means to chemically hold/bind have made videos/wriiten articles expecting 1 gram of HA to create a solid mass with 1000 g of water. But becoming a solid is not what chemical binding means.
@@morgianasartre6709 This is incorrect. The people who think they debunked it don't understand chemical binding. They thought if a 1:1000 solution was not a solid, it was not "held". The fact that a 1% solution (100X it's weight) of high MW HA is a viscous serum/gel that is hard to use a dropper with tells you it can still do alot more chemical binding.
😍😍😍😍😍
There's some wrong information in this video, that's why it's so important to get your information from a board certified derm! Glycolic acid is the smallest molecule, not salicylic acid. And the reason salicylic acid is good for acne is because it is attracted/binds to oil. I'm not a derm, but I've listened to a lot explain this!
Dermatologists focus on skin diisease. They learn far less than a cosmetic scientist about ingredients and product formulation. You are correct about the things you said, but a biochemist, medicinal chemist, molecular biologist and especially cosmetic scienticts can also give great insight (often better) depending on their career focus. In addition, there are board certified derms/influencers on UA-cam that spread misinformation too...and they do not all agree on many topics. If you look at all the greatest breakthroughs in skincare, they are all based in research. Those researchers were largely biochemists & biologists. Look at our UA-cam derms: Doctorly shill endless products that have no scientific backing just to make $$$. They are sell outs. Dr. Dray is overly conservative but often hypocritical. She dismisses products without even trying them just for being "nothing special". But when big influencers release skincare lines that are worse, she makes sure to praise them (Hyram, Doctorly, etc.). Dr. Idriss started the negative misinformation about hyaluronic acid train. Dr. Dray later made a video admitting she had spread this misinformation without looking to see if it had any backing. When I heard all of the nonsense Dr. Idriss was pedalling about glycerin vs HA, I posted "I bet she will release a skincare line soon that is full of the much cheaper glycerin"...and I was correct! As a scientist, I find "skin care enthusiasts' spreading misinformation to be just as frustrating as you do. But don't kid yourself that dermatologists are always correct and/or unbiased.
One thing: glycolic acid on the scalp. Thank me later. Freaking game changer ❤
Do you use it as a pre-wash treatment?
@@Kyuukoks nope, right after washing. I part my hair little by little and squeeze a bit on the scalp directly from the bottle, then massage gently for even distribution. For me it slows down the sebum production by at least a couple days.
@@GabiBrooks do you leave it on or wash it off?
@@artxangels6666 left it in. But don't put too much, put a little bitjust to moist the skin cause it makes the hair sticky otherwise. Like as if you put in too much mousse or something.
Careful with that as it can cause hair breakage.
hey cutie!
Who's that girl? Uh, yo, yo, c'mon, c'mon
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Thank you Hyram! We love you! And please help!! I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and I live in the desert!🏜️ 🌵 (AZ) should I not be using this ingredient with such dry desert air? I have normal skin.
