My journey of 5 years long disgusting acne was finished with Tretinoin 0.5 topical ointment. Yes, Tretinoin is the best treatment out there. Moreover, it was Dr. Iddrisss who introduced me with Tretinoin. Love you doctor 💝

Great information. A follow up video or part 2 of how you can use these together would be helpful! Assuming you need to cycle with some of them or apply particular ones in the morning and at night etc.

I used AHA, BHA but my acne wasn't fully clear. But 3 months ago I tried tretinoin (retinoid acid). in the first 2 months it gave me purging. Now, I have never seen acne appears in my face for the last 3 weeks and my skin has never been better 🤩

I love sulfur! More specifically, I love sulfur hot springs. I went to Japan 2 months ago, went to an onsen that had an outdoor pool that I didn’t realize was a sulfur springs. My body had never felt smoother or softer. I will definitely try out the sulfur products!!

Thank you so much for this! I’ve struggled with acne since 6th grade - 28 now and still battle with hormonal / inflammatory breakouts but I’m figuring it out. We appreciate you

I recently switched to using a Sulfur soap as a cleanser that I got from iherb. It cleared my acne really quickly, quicker than any other anti-acne ingredient than I’ve ever used.

Could you please do a video on active ingredients during pregnancy - what's safe to use and what to avoid. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve definitely struggled a lot with acne transitioning into my late 20s (teens weren’t fun either but I’ve definitely noticed an uptake later on) but this was super helpful. I’m starting Esthetician school in December and I’ve been binge watching your videos to help me prepare for school and get my product knowledge up. Love your videos doc 🩵

From my experience Retinol worked on my acne scars. It works well with Salicylic acid or Azelic acid. I just put moisturizer between each layer.

Thank you so much for switching the camera setting so we can read the products you hold up. Appreciate it 😘. Always look forward to your videos ❤️

Would love to see a video with top ingredients for dehydrated sensitive skin (combo or dry). I have combo dehydrated skin, it’s a struggle to find the right products!

[jakeroege]

For sulfur, I've been using and enjoying the Starface sulfur mask, pretty affordable and now fun/easy to use then the dela cruz

[BedboundME]

Cereve blemish moisturiser with 2% salicylic acid is a convenient BHA. Gentle too, I don’t think it has low ph. But works for my very prone skin.

[BernadetteTuthill-chkz]

Just want to say I enjoy your videos. I’m a late bloomer in taking care of my face. I like
how you explain the steps on how and when to incorporate the products into ones regime. Thanks.

[MorningCyclist]

So so so glad you mentioned sulfur. It’s the only thing that works on my acne (and I was on accutane twice!)

[helengroza]

Thank you for dumbing down all that info and making it interesting to watch with some historical facts❣️
Loved it!
You're great! 🌸

[vonglucke]

I just discovered you and I am obsessed! Thank you for your tips and what’ll help! ❤
