STOP using skincare products to get rid of your acne 😯🤔 #cavemanregimen #skincare #acne #pimples

[bigmitch]

The whole reason I started skincare was because of acne. So pretty sure it won't work for me.

[nandakumar]

It's been 6 months since I've been following the caveman regime. Cold shower, no soap, no products, just water. My face looks completely clear and no more acne breakouts.

[okaygo]

That works for me. Less "Skin care" products have helped my adult breakouts tremendously. Can't hurt to try for a week or two.

[milanvujcich]

It sucks though cause I need sunscreen which means I need to cleanse to get it off, which means I need moisturiser after the cleanser gets rid of oils

[-cloudyskyx-]

I agree! I stopped using mine and my skin got very clear and I started having less breakouts! And one time, I used them again, I broke out

[zelnutsyyy]

Very true. Worked for me. I did it not because I knew about this regimen, but because I felt like nothing works anymore since I'd already desperately piled up a lot of products that are supposed to help with my acne for more than half a year. Regrettably also fell into the 'rejuvenating sets' trend and ruined my skin barrier even further. Naively thought the stinging/burning/stripping feeling is normal as it's "regenerating" the skin. Currently, after almost 2 months of just washing my face with a sensitive skin friendly soap and water (only when I'm gonna shower or when I get home from somewhere), now I'm just trying to recover my face from all the acne marks by using mild skin care and not overdoing it. You do not have to have or use all the supposed to be good ingredients, knowing your skin type and which ingredients work best for it plus how they work(do's and don'ts) then deciding what you need and don't need from those is enough. Slow, but consistent. I've learned and valued that less is always more.

I used to have really bad acne, stopping skincare was the best thing for me, I've had little to no acne since

[Oblisk]

It was this alongside fixing my diet and other lifestyle habits like sleep that helped me the most. I was doing all the extra with skincare products. Now all I do is wash my face only when I take showers, no moisturizers either as I use a Castile soap that contains essential oils that traps in the moisture into my skin. Lots of high quality probiotics such as Milk Kefir and sauerkraut are crucial. And getting rid of toxins by going organic and purchasing higher quality meats like grass fed. Exercising to the point of sweating or saunas/hot baths to help get rid of extra toxins. All this will get rid of acne and other health problems.

I fell for the skincare industry scam.
I spent enough money to understand that no product actually works for my skin. When I stopped using everything but water on my face my black and whiteheads disappeared, the wrinkles that started forming got smoother, pores got visibly smaller and overall a tighter more rosey cheeked look ❤

Wish I could hear that sooner. Now I’m left with scars

[mariyaaamiguel]

My "acne" started with just tiny bumps (whiteheads) on my forehead (2020) and keeps getting worse. I started using different products since then but NOTHING WORKED. I saw a YT shorts about targeting your most pressing skin problem, and I realize, it is not my acne but my damaged skin barrier. No matter how good your acne product if your skin barrier is damaged it will continue to get worse. Now I'm on my 4th day if cutting back from any acne products I have.

This is my routine for the 4th day (I have an oily, acne-prone and hellish damaged skin barrier)

Morning: PH balance cleanser from Heimish and Rice Water (homemade yes)

Evening: Skin 1004 centella light cleansing oil + Rice Water (I double cleanse with Heimish if I wear make up on the day)

The result is promising so far compare to all the freaking things i put on my face for the ast 3 years.

[jimhaggard]

He’s correct. Unless you have cystic or hormonal acne, most cleansers are too harsh and remove the natural oil barrier that protects the skin and also modulates the oil production. If you strip the oily layer, the skin responds by producing more oil from the pores that eventually get clogged.

[isimplevi]

I actually agree, but my skin gets oily so i still use them and i also have acne scars to clear up
But for like 1-2 days a week i dont use them to give my face a break from chemicals.

[aprettylittlemonster]

I just keep my skincare routine very simple these days. Gentle cleansing bar, moisturizer, and sunscreen on the days I leave the house. Everything else is not necessary.

[Nixmeri]

“There’s no guarantee it will work for you” is the most important a part of this video. I’ve tried everything, including using nothing for a week and in the end I had some of the worst acne of my life, it was incredibly painful. Give it a go and then decide.

[rion]

Bro, ur face is so clear and pure.👍🙏nice.

[amelia]

Y’all actually this works I was depressed and didn’t have the energy to do any skincare and I always had pretty red inflamed acne on my cheeks and forehead and ended up not doing anything just rinse with water and no picking for a while and my acne healed up amazingly I was shook

[kahanpukios]

This is so true, I fixed my worse acne by having a good diet and using minimal face care.
I use a baby skin cleanser twice a day, as they have the least chemicals

[k.k.k_bp]

Omg this is like so true. I used to use quite a lot of harsh products to get rid of my acne. And now like a few months ago i stopped using so many bad products. When i tell you my skin is so much better

[tanisgeorgetti]

I disagree with this as long as you’re using a cleanser that won’t strip your skin and is a proper cleanser not some thing that has harsh surfactants and in my opinion one of the most important things that I used when I had acne was my 2% salicylic acid cleanser and then I would spot treat with a retinoid because if you have acne you have to be wearing sunscreen and if you’re wearing sunscreen you have to wash it off or you’re gonna cause more issues it doesn’t make sense so this is not a good method I’m sorry don’t tell people that because you’re not helping them!!!! Omg this hurt my heart because I love your channel and your message and I do you get what you’re saying by allowing your skin to learn to moisturize itself but this is a totally different thing A lot of those cysts have really nasty bacteria that you need to get rid of!
