As doctor passionate about skin care that delivers results I want to help you quickly and efficiently pick a skin care regime that works, by explaining the science behind skin and by sharing quick product reviews.
I am a big believer that creating a skincare routine that targets your specific concerns is not a matter of your budget. There are many great affordable brands out there: The Inkey List, Good Molecules, Geek & Gorgeous or pixi skincare to name a few of my favorites, and if you know how to combine them, you are well on your way to healthy and happy skin.
Healthy and happy skin does not mean "flawless" - whatever that might be. I have been struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation and postinflammatory erythema (PIH and PIE) for most of my adult life, and it took me a while to figure out that gentle is key. I went through a retinol damaged skin barrier, acne flare ups and sun damage until I finally reached my happy place: With Tretinoin, sunscreen and of course a red lipstick!

Any PHA products you have tried and would recommend?
Thanks for this review! I ordered this toner this afternoon and can't wait to try it 🙂
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I am impressed too. Finally a toner I can talk about with my dermatologist since I have rosacea prone skin. Great review Dr.
It must be a struggle to find products one can use.
WAIT DOES IT WORK FOR U?! cause i have rosacea too and i wanna KNOW
@@mocha8683the only two products that seem to work for me are Niacinamide serums before going
to bed and Medik8 calmwise cream for the day. Other than those Neodimio Yag Laser and of course avoid rosacea triggers like spicy foods, and you need to ve pacient 'cause the rosacea is soooo stubborn.
@@christianeduardolizarzabur753 I am working on a video on rosacea at the moment, so that is really interesting. Which type of rosacea do you have if you don't mine me asking?
@@DoctorAnne no problem, second degree: persistent redness but only on the right cheek and chin, the skin on the cheek is inflamed too, I also get little pustules that come and go over time. I was diagnosed 15 years ago. I really don't feel uncomfortable with the redness since you can't cover it up with a tinted cream what I really want is to reduce the inflammation.
Another great video. It's starting to really heat up here, 30C for the past few days and forecast same for the next week. Hi from Australia
That sounds lovely! I much prefer the warmth over the rainy cold we have right now.
@@DoctorAnne I agree! In Perth, Western Australia we have hot dry heat.
@@babygoatsmum4122 My favorite kind of heat. Although Australia was very, VERY hot in some places when I visited.
Hi Dr Anne 🤗 I have started using this toner last week and so far so good. I need a gentle exfoliator in my routine. Same with me, I use it in the morning only.
The exfoliating factor is really weak, but I love the hydration and overall smoothness I feel that adds.
Thank you so much! I used this a few years ago and absolutely loved it- I have dry , dehydrated skin but keep it nourished . It can be sensitive at times . I can’t get this anymore but would like someone similar or perhaps a little stronger even. May I ask do you know of any Korean dupes? The skin1004 toning toner or …. I’m not sure to be honest! I really do love how you present materials- informative, but to the point! Thank you so incredibly much!
The SKIN1004 Centella Toning Toner does contain PHA, but I can't say if it compares - I have the toner in my stash, but haven't opened it yet. I will though and see if I can get a video up in the next, well, probably months.
I always struggle with the amount I should use when it comes to serums and there are very vague to none recommendations out there how many drops of Peptides, or how much of my acids, what the hell is with this pea size thing etc.. It would be so great to watch a video with clear instructions on the actual amount of particular serums.
Thank you so much
I will add it to my list.
@@DoctorAnne thank you so much
@@wassermelonification You are welcome.
Great video, thank you. I just ordered it and I want to ask you how many times at week you advice me to use it? I have sensitive skin. I think using first my hyaluronic acid serum after this toner and then my cream.
Start with twice a week and build up from there. My skin is sensitive to exfoliation as I use Tretinoin, but in the end i could build it up to daily use.
I used it as directed on the bottle using cotton pad and i had a reaction on my sensitive skin. after watching this video I started applying it with my hand and found much better results. I really like it. I use it once a day probably at night along with their hyaluronic acid cleanser and their niacinamide serum. My skin has rosacea. And i usually get small inflammatory acne. Now my skin is clear after one month of use. Thank you 🙏🏻
I am glad it worked so well for you. The aspect of physical exfoliation that often comes with microfibre cloths or cotton pads is often underestimated.
Do you use it daily? I have rosacea too
Hi Dr Anne I just purchased the pha toner from Amazon, so will try it next week, as I need something I can use daily as my once a week 10% mandelic acid is not enough, maybe after I finish using the pha I can increase my mandelic acid to a few times a week
How was your first impression?
@@DoctorAnne hi Dr Anne I am able to use it every morning so far it’s not very strong, just added hydration which I’m pleased about, can never have enough hydrating products being eczema prone, after this I will venture into stronger PHAs. Thanks for asking 😊
@@monicaduncan7109 Thank you for your feedback, that is very helpful.
Hallo Frau Doktor Anne,
Facetheory scheint auch eine spannende Marke zu sein. Haben sie schon mal von der Marke gehört? Ich bin am überlegen, ob ich mir da nicht ein zwei Sachen bestelle und diese ausprobiere. Hab die Augencreme, den Clarifying Cleanser C2 und das glykolische Gesichtspeeling für meine Oberarme (habe leider Keratosis Pilaris), im Auge. Ansonsten bin ich mit der Marke No Cosmetics, welche in dm geführt wird, ziemlich zufrieden. Ich hab den Cleanser und die Seren alle gut vertragen. Kennen sie die Marke auch?
Hab mir jetzt gestern die pinke Gesichtscreme von No Cosmetics geholt und bin gespannt wie meine Haut drauf reagiert.
Habe übrigens das erste Mal bei Geek und Gorgeous bestellt und warte noch auf meine Lieferung. Bin sehr gespannt, wie die Produkte sich mit meiner Haut vertragen (und wann mein Paket endlich kommt :))
Ich beäuge Facetheory auch schon eine Weile und werde vermutlich nächstes Jahr mal bestellen. No cosmetics habe ich zwar beim Einkaufen schon gesehen, aber noch nicht genauer hingeschaut - werde ich dann wohl mal, wenn die Produkte so gut sind. Und ich hoffe, die Geek & Gorgeous Produkte gefallen!
@@DoctorAnne hey, danke für ihre Antwort erstmal. Also ich finde den AHA/PHA cleanser von no cosmetics am besten und von den Seren hab ich den 120 h hypersleep, den slow aging und das retinol serum ausprobiert. Die habe ich alle gut vertragen. Hab neulich das Peelingserum gekauft und ich mag einfach kein Peeling, welches man auf der Haut lassen muss, hab ich tatsächlich festgestellt. Das Produkt war jetzt auch nicht "der Knaller" für mich persönlich. Die anderen Seren haben mich nicht wirklich angesprochen und haben gemischte Bewertungen auf der dm-App, weshalb es mich vom Einkaufen eher abgeschreckt hatte. Ich hab auch den Cerave SA Cleanser benutzt und aufgebraucht und kann sagen, dass der von No mir besser gefällt. Ich hab einfach das Gefühl, dass der von No seine "Arbeit" besser macht, falls ich das gut beschreiben konnte. 😁 Bin gespannt, ob der Cleanser vom Jelly Joker abgelöst wird. Der Vorteil beim No ist halt auch, dass ich ihn einfach mal vom DM nebenan mitnehmen kann und auf den Jelly Joker müsste ich halt warten oder auch jedesmal die Versandkosten einkalkulieren, bis jetzt kam noch nichts, warte immer noch. Ich hab übrigens auch das Balea Med Sensitive Waschgel und die Reinigungsmilch beide ausprobiert und die waren zwar ok, aber haben mich jetzt nicht wirklich beeindruckt. Hatte bei denen das Gefühl, dass sie zu schwach waren. Haben aber kein unangenehmes Gefühl auf der Haut hinterlassen. Sorry für das durcheinander, aber wollte noch was ergänzen. 🙂 freue mich auf ihre Jahresfavoriten/ Fehleinkäufe (falls sie das machen wollen natürlich) und auf ihr nächstes Video!
@@heebiejeebies5739 Hm, Fehlkäufe habe ich tatsächlich noch nie gemacht - davon habe ich wirklich wenige. Aber ein "Was würde ich dieses Jahr kaufen, wenn all meine Sachen plötzlich weg wären" mache ich jedes Jahr, da kann man dann sehen, ob ein neuer Favorit dazu kam.
Do you recommend using this toner on our AM routine and use tretinoin at night daily
Thanks Dr
That depends on your skins individual treshold, but yes, I think that would work.
What do you think of B Oil from The Ordinary?
I haven't tried it myself.
Hi DR Anne, do you think this can be used ok by people with acne oily open pore skin ? without being "comedogenic"? I know that's a very debatable word within the skincare community but your advice would be great. TIA . Jay
Yes, it can totally used by people with that skin type, but I don't think it is the one the most beneficial for them either. I think with oily, acne prone a Salicylic Acid might be the better choice.
@@DoctorAnne Oh yeah SA is the number one, I just wondered as I had a bottle of the PHA to try. Turns out it did clog my pores and on review does contain comedogenic ingredients. It was also sticky and left a heavy residue allbiet "glowly" left me greasy and clogged hours after. Thanks for the response Anne.
@@jayedwardsuk5984 I am sorry to hear that - I had no issues with clogged pores even after almost finishing the bottle now, but as I am 43 now my skin is way less oily than it used to be.
@@DoctorAnne I'm glad its working for you it does seems like a great product generally just not for my oily congested skin. Thanks again Anne
I see this toner contains a lot of propanediol and I'm told this might not sink in too well on my oily skin?
My skin is more on the oily side and it literally feels like water, no residue.
Both glycolic acid and non-prescription strength lactic acid were too strong for me. I was considering Mandelic acid, but a PHA toner better suits my needs with way less risk of irritation related hyperpigmentation. Thank you for the info.
You are welcome.
So this doesn't really exfoliate? I have rosacea dry/dehydrated, SENSITIVE skin. I used the wishtrend mandelic acid toner last night. I think I used a bit too much because today my canmake sunscreen is burning and itching my face. Ugh. My face has calmed down a little 8 hours later. Should I stick with it but use much less? Can I put it on and then rinse it off? Thanks Dr. Anne. ❤️🙏🤗
It does some ver, very mild exfoliation, but not enough to address texture. But it might be a good option for you if the (very mild) by wish trend toner was already too much. Do you feel you need to exfoliate? And have you tried Azelaic Acid? That one is anti-inflammatory, so it might be better suited to rosacea skin.
Short contact as in washing it off again might work too, but I am not sure it is worth the risk.
@@DoctorAnne I tried the Wishtrend mandelic acid. For 3 days my face is still stinging. Ugh. I remember using Zeroid urea 5% and it didn't nearly sting as much as the mandelic acid. I used it once a week then returned to my regular moisturizer. Experts say rosacea folks should stay away from urea. Lol. I could put the urea moisturizer on for a while then maybe rinse it off. What do you think? Yes. Azelaic acid did nothing.
@@mignonalverson655 Hard to say - in the end you have to be the judge and see how your individual skin reacts. I probably would stay away from acids and try calming down the rosacea first, but you are the only one that cn judge what you'll need.
@@DoctorAnne True. ❤️🤗
Can I use this toner with the ordinary niacinamide 10%?
Yes.
can i use this with a daily microexfoliant, the one by dermalogica ?
I am not a fan of combining different exfoliants - it might work, as it is very gentle, but it also might be too much dependng on your skin.
Is this a good option if salicylic acid (tried 2% and 0.8%) dries a dehydrated, sensitive acne-prone skin to much? Im now using Finacea that contains 15% azelaic acid twice a day and it has helped calm my skin and reduce the breakouts some, but i still get pimples.. (i've been using it for 5 months) Maybe i should just focus on a good cleanser, creme and sunscreen and continue with finacea.
Finacea is often used for rosacea - have you been diagnosed?
@@DoctorAnne I have acne and perioral dermatitis due to my doctor, but i havent been to a skin doctor. Maybe i should go to one..
@@mooninaries4397 You should, especially with this combination, it is hard to treat.
@@DoctorAnne Thanks for answering!🩵 I will.
Can I use this product with rosehip oil ?
Yes.
Can I use this product with make up?
As part of your morning skincare routine, yes.
I had this years ago when I first started with skincare and for me it did nothing. Just not nearly enough for my KP prone skin. That was back when I was using products recommended for rosacea. But I really need the stronger stuff and tolerate it pretty well. Settled on a “one day on, two days off” approach to tretinoin for now.
I have been in the mood for skincare purchasing again. I want Innisfree’s green tea probiotic cream. They are using 3% of Amore Pacific’s proprietary pseudo ceramides. Which are cheaper and easier to formulate with. And Hyggee natural repair serum. I was about to buy 8 Garnier Sun fluids on look fantastic because they are reduced to €7 and then I would have sunscreen for the year. My money being in the wrong account has held me back though
It definitely is one for the subtle results.
@@DoctorAnne I honestly think of PHAs as humectants
@@moose8762 This feels lovely and hydrating.
@@DoctorAnne not sure I would notice hydration given the moisturisers I use. At the time I was using cicaplast baume and CeraVe PM. And now a rich urea cream and I don’t think anything beats urea in hydrating. Just not the most tolerable finish. But it has pulled my skin barrier back together and seems to help significantly in fighting tretinoin dryness, peeling, irritation
@@moose8762 It definitely hasn't the most pleasant texture and finish.
Can I use this product on daily basis??
That always depends on the individual skin, but yes, most people can.
Can I use this toner with Mandelic Acid?
In theory yes, but why would you want to pair two potentially exfoliating toners?
