Blackheads are one of the most common skin problems. A simple way to approach this is -
.
.
Prevention: The use of simple salicylic acid washes can help. Start off once a day with something like Neutrogena salicylic acid wash. Increase to twice a day as required. Additionally retinol or retinoids may help.
.
.
Exfoliation can be achieved with scrubs, acids, or a device like a Clarisonic
.
.
Dermatologists employ peels such as salicylic acid with concentrations ranging from 8% to 30%, as well as AHAs or alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, pyruvic & citric acid. Retinoid peels with retinoic acid as the active ingredient are also employed; concentration ranging from 0.5 to 5%.

You are my favorite dermatologist on UA-cam! Thank you!
Thanks David for sharing your knowledge, I love your videos and this one has been extremely helpful😁
Could you please do a video on white heads (congested skin), I’ve tried many things and I still have a lot
Thank you. Your videos are educational, and you are easy on the eyes and ears. 😁
Thank for this information Dr. Lim ! 😊
Dr davin lim please make a video on "Pigmentary demarcation lines ". Is it a variant of melasma? How it works and what are treatment options??
Thanks so much for the info! What would be the best method you discussed for someone with a history of POD, rosacea, and sensitive skin, with blackheads only on their nose?
what are your thoughts on The Ordinary's Azelaic acid 10% suspension?
Thank you much!! I 've sufffered with blackheads for years and years and scared from finally picking after months or leaving alone. I will for sure try some of these tips!
Hi! How is your skin journey?
Please do a video on whiteheads. Mine are not budging and I start picking which leads to inflammation and red, sores and marks
Thank you po Sir Davin 🤗 daghan kay kog nakat.unan nimo.
Thank you Dr. Lim for this video!
What is your opinion on an ultrasonic device to get rid of blackheads? Recently I purchased the Misiki Skin Scrubber after reading many positive reviews from people using this device who successfully got rid of their blackheads.
Can you please review retinaldyhe and where we can buy it i n Australia , what brand?
Needed this!!
You are great a big thank you xx
Hi Dr. Davin! Can you confirm if my PM routine is okay: cleanser - glycolic acid toner - 10 AHA moisturizer lotion. I've been doing this for a week with no major problems so far. I am brown-skinned so I'm just wondering if AHA is okay for me. I use sunscreen every morning :)
Planning to add Niacinamide also to my AM routine maybe 2 weeks from now. Thank you in advance!
Make video about collagen peptides as supplement
Thank you Doc! But, how about these tiny black heads 'hoovers'? I am curious to know if they are worth it or not, and if they can damage the skin...? Thank you!
Hi Doc Davin, can we use salicylic acid cleanser everyday?
I suspect I have submarine comedones? Because I've been using the Inkey List BHA serum as well as a clay mask (both once a week) for the longest time, but my blackheads still haven't gone. Damn...
Prevention is the key to a beautiful skin 🔑 sadly nobody is talking about that. Great video doc. Liked 😃
I used to use a needle for sometimes up to an hour on my face getting all my blackheads as a teen, its so satisfying and it gets it all out. I always used the pointy end and pressed flat on my skin poking into a blackhead to be able to take them out. probably safer your way! aha
Haha I've done it and I've heard some of these people saying it's dangerous for your skin if your not a professional. I used to do it and it's quite satisfying but I was wayyy too aggressive lol and ended up with a mess, now my mom does it because she's much better, no bleeding, she actually uses the needle well and gets all the sebum out without causing me great pain lmao.
How to prevents acne on oily face and which one is best face wash for acne on oily face
Removing a blackhead with *the tool* is soooooo satisfying
I need to see videos of those asian that extract omg
Who does these needle extractions in Malaysia. Men or women mostly?
Thank you for this video Dr. Lim! For about 1 month I have used an ultrasonic device. The blackheads pop right out when using this. Is this something you recommend to your patients?
Dr Lim, thanks for the generous sharing. Dermatologist seldom shares so much in order to protect their own business... you are different.. 😀
I have been following your videos and find it very useful even I took longer time to digest the information. I wonder those product which the brand is mentioned is not sponsoring your blog/ video etc? As a layman, we just go out and get the stuff without bringing our magnifying glass to look for BHA, Retinol etc etc in the small prints... so your mentioning if the
brand name is much easier.. but then we thought if those are sponsors... 😅
Thank you once again , appreciated .
If a product is sponsored he would be required to disclose such information. Therefore, you can assume the mentioned products are not sponsored and he is simply offering information on products he knows to be effective.
Tks Miss Segura
Fong Von you’re very welcome.
Thank for sharing.
Which retinoid is best? I’m seeing a derm soon for a prescription.
Thank you!!
Can laser help with chemical peel scarring on my face?
I thought that the highest amount of BHA was 2%... is that just in Canada..? Cause a higher % would help me a lot... can someone suggest a product with a higher percentage...?
The only product that really help my blackheads is the peeling solution by the ordinary. It’s amazing
Hi hun can you please give the actual name on the original product many thanks
@@myhuynh9881 thats what it is called! the ordinary "peeling solution"
Does micronized zinc oxide or transparent zinc oxide provide good protection against uva like zinc oxide with large particle does?
It works well indeed, but a little too good around my nose. It stings and burns like hell there. 😅
How long between your sessions? Thanks
The drunk elephant wash you’ve mentioned what’s it called please I would like to try
Rita Barakat priceyyyy😭
What about injecting the cyst or acne?
could you do a video on buccal fat for older faces? I have lost volume except for that area and I now have the dreaded chipmunk cheeks. Do I get that fat removed or do I get fillers to fill out my mylar fat pads, under eye, etc?
Hi tecton, you may contact a plástic physician to respond better this consult altough Dr Lim obviusly knows the answer. My sugestion its always use youe own fat. It has more durability and reduces the posibility for a posible complication
Dr Gavin Chan has a channel called Victorian Cosmetic Institute based in Melbourne where he goes into a lot of detail about topics like that :)
My problem is blackheads from oily skin creating spots, I recently cleared up a 1 year infection but it’s coming back now. Any suggestions
I have aloy of blackheads in both cheecks😭😭😭😭 help me
What can u say about Foreo silicone brush? People are raving about it, they say it's good but I dont really know if it is a good investment. Hope you can share ur thoughts
I have Foreo and what I can say is that it is pleasant to use, gives you a kind of massage but I didnt notice any significant change.. I paid 100euros 3 years ago
Please do a video on clay masks
Thanks sir please scers cream peel video me lndian
I've always heard an exfoliant like SA should only be used on the face no more than 3x per week. I'm using it in a wash, should I use it every day?
@Meraki Gemini I think it will depend on the person's skin concerns, what type of vehicle the exfoliant is in, and how well the person tolerates the ingredient. I use salicylic acid for more than one skin concern on my face including acne, blackheads, and oily skin. I also only use it in a wash vehicle. I've had no problem using it once a day, every day.
How early (age wise) do you think teenager could start retinol product?
My brother started using retinol cream at 11
Can adding a lot of olive oil to your food give you acne? I noticed since I started adding oils to my food I am breaking out.
No. Only sugar and dairy have been proven to increase your chances of acne.
Where do I get 3-4% sal acid wash?? Please
I’m seeing a derm soon to remove my moles but he didn’t recommend anything but a prescription retin a , as I think I have molluscum contagiousum on my face.
Ugh I’m like a week a way to get to start my birth control that also helps acne and hormones!!!! It’s taking forever!!!!!!!! I’ve been breaking out a bit lately, I just want to start taking the pills!!!!!!!!!😠
Can laser remove stretch marks ?
Thank you
I don't find my exact skin disease my face is full of open pores and black spots
And becomes rough day by day
How do u feel about dr Julia hunter saying that salicylic acid is inflammatory when every derm I’ve heard says that it’s anti inflammatory?
I love my salicylic acid and happy to hear it’s good for people of color
I don’t exactly have blackheads. I have colorless heads (look like a tiny pimple but they’re not), and they produce white substance when extracted. I don’t wear makeup and all my skin products are noncomedogenic, and designed for acne prone skins. They never stop forming 💔
Maybe they're fungal acne.
If you see them specially on your nose, they will probably be sebaceous filaments. They are compmetley normal and art of your skin
@@noe2005 I have billions of em
You seem to know you're stuff, I'm located in Brisbane and think I just need some grounded personal advice.
Dr. Davin, could you make a video on using a needle to remove black heads? Exfoliation even with strong acids does not remove any black heads for me. Thank you!
If exfoliants dont work then extraction by dermatologist is the solution doing this at home can cause scarring i did the same
I've been using Tretinoin for 4 months now. I don't think it does help with blackheads that much. I've heard people use BHA in the morning in a form of facial wash/toner. Some people can't use both in the same routine that's why they use BHA in the morning. Then at night tretinoin.
Beez Stung , it really takes about a year to see change but it does take time.
I’m so stuck on what to do with my 12 year old skin. Don’t want to use a lot of chemicals because risk worried of damage. Is there anything safe I can use?
Edit* she has very stubborn blackheads.
chemicals lol
Water is a chemical sis. Take your daughter to a dermatologist
Yes chemicals would be safe see a dermatologist
I do not use makeup.
my problem is blackheads lol and scars, but my scars are permanent. so it's cool
Where can I find your podcast ?
I get blackheads on my nose all the time. A couple days after extracting they are already back. I do use a SA wash and I use some AHA's but the skin on my nose is so fragile and sensitive that it cant handle it. It often becomes all peely regardless of what I do to my skin :(
SAME no matter how much a scrub the a couple days later it looks like I’ve never washed my face before
@@gigil276 right if your from UK or in your country you can get it, I highly reccomend epiduo gel. Its prescription type stuff no bs I am able to order it online where I'm from and it gets rid of all blacks heads just rub a even layer onto your skin and next day your sorted if not 1 more night and your good.
Like legit, ive been the same for years nothing ever worked but I used branded stuff, look at the prescription stuff it's higher strength and cheaper than branded stuff, I hope this helps someone who reads
But when I went to dermatologist to extract blackheads, it was more painful then when I did it myself...
And here, they still use "steam" method before extraction... They use needle too though... And after that, my face will be bright red... :(
I'm from UK I use epiduo it's a miracle only thing ever worked like ever. Its medical grade prescription type stuff but I am able to order online, its amazinggggg

Can a PORT WINE STAIN be treated by plastic surgery??
Nikhil Braitoo , lasers will work
I thought extracting blackheads causes black spots?
How Bout No! Hilarious! Okay it is rather late... Or early on the East coast so.... Hahahahaha!
Dr Davin if I am 21 can I start a retinol? (Normal skin without sensitivity or acne)
"Single use, I hope" lol
Dear Dr Lim,
I suggest you to review inorganic sunscreens with titanium dioxide, pigmentary titanium dioxide and pigmentary iron oxides. Avene Mineral cream 50 ml and Mineral lotion 100 ml use those components and I am very happy using them. Their Mineral fluid use titanium dioxide (11,4 %) and zinc oxide (14,6 %). I easily remove them all three with lipid based cleansers like Avene XeraCalm cleansing oil 400 ml or Tolerance extreme cleansing lotion 200 ml. I stopped using organic sunscreens as they leave yellow stains after washing because of avobenzone. I believe that titanium dioxide is excellent and underestimated filter and that by varying the size of particles and its concentration in formula it can protect against not only UV but also VL and IR. White cast is reduced by pigmentary iron oxides. Complete sunblocks like camouflaging facial foundations or surgical foundations contain no water and they contain the large amounts of titanium dioxide.
Are you in melbourne?? Please remove mine
How can I prevent splint ends ? I am literally doing everything but still it exists 🤢
I use the Ordinary 30% peeling serum to exofliate about once a month for 15 months, I cleanse my face in the morning and I do not wear foundation.
My entire face is covered in tiny blackheads and 30 whiteheads. I use to have clear skin. I just want to cry.
Warning just don’t let dermagen clinic deal with your blackheads .
Thank you very much for the helpful information! However, this 13 min video contained 3 mid-roll ad segments with 2 ads each that can’t be skipped, plus a 4th skippable mid-roll. I think that is a bit excessive and really distracting from the content. Please consider decreasing the use of mid-roll ads and allow them to be skipped. Thanks!
But................................ why the fuck do we need this stuff in the first place? Whats making our skin soo fucking dirty?
BLAH BLAH BLAH ...Tell us something worth while
That's racist
