@britdanielxoxo Most skincare products when used appropriately do not lose their effectiveness. However, our skin changes from time to time. So if your skincare products are less effective than they used to be, consider changing them.
@DiggyandJ You should be able to find them all via online and local pharmacies. In addition, at the bottom of each episode on the DermTV website, I list example products so it might be worth it for you to check that out.
@MakoBeauty It would depend upon the stiffness of the bristles of the clarisonic and the size of your pores, but it certainly couldn’t hurt. That being said, granular cleansers are best.
@canadian1000: The persistent redness would indicate that your skin is too sensitive for the exfoliant you are using. You need to use a more gentle exfoliant or use it less frequently. In regards to product recommendations, please visit the DermTV website and on the page for this episode, there are specific product recommendations.
i use st ivfes apricot scrub. it has 2% salicylic acid in it. so do i just use that once every time i take a shower? since it already contains salicylic acid. or do i have to use a chemical one after exfoliating?
thanks!
Hi Dr.,
Can you name any products I might use to make my pores less noticeable? I heard you discussing certain chemicals, but that is really Chinese to me. I have used astringents, but they only make my skin more oily after about ten minutes! My nose, for some reason or another remains red for a few days after I have ex foliated, is there a way to fix this as well?
thank you very much…i have a lot on my nose like u were saying….also, i usually have a little bit of an acne break out when I’m about to start my monthy but i don’t know if thats the cause of it…& also i think its funny when you let the balloon go…:)
@aaaaa6705: I’ve never seen enlarged pores on the locations you’ve mentioned (I’ve only seen them on the face). The episode on this page only pertains to facial skin. I suggest that you see a dermatologist for clarification of what your issue is.
Hi DOc. I used to suffer from ezcema but now it has cured. However, I have unslightly marks on my body and legs and also hands. Most worrying is tat my skin pores are so visible and looks mutated. So how do I overcome such problem as it really makes me feel down. The pores and large and mutated due to straching. Pls help me.
I’ve followed Doc’s advise and started exfoliating daily about a week ago. I have extremely oily skin and large pores all over . No kidding, already I’m seeing less oil built-up and have a clearer complexion. I’m using all natural ingredients. I use raw cane sugar (I’m told it’s rich in Glycolic acid), mix it with honey. Massage the mixture over my face for 10 mins. It works!

@Cherriedesu Use chemical one after because the scrub isn’t on skin long enough for salicylic acid to do anything

very informative. thank you
June 13th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Would things like the clarisonic brush take the place of granule cleansers?
June 13th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
what is a drugstore brand that sells these types of cleansers that you would reccommend?
June 13th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
