Hey Science Babes! I'm going to do a follow up Q&A video on acne as you sent me so many good ones on Instagram but I didn't want to make this too long - this is just a high level overview. Leave your questions in the comments! Thanks for watching have a great weekend

Been trying to get rid of my ance since I was 13 years old 😭 I'm 25 now, and still dealing with it. Dermatologist here I come..

Some of the best clinical brands have been started because their founders were working on formulations to solve their own skin issues. I look forward to seeing great things from you.

You resemble Shailene Woodley! I enjoy your videos by the way 🤙🏼

The best thing you can do for your acne, first of all, is to be nice to yourself. I loved how you said that, Kenna. It should be the first rule of everything. Every instruction or manual should start out with that line. Thank you for the reminder.

I can't wait for people like you Kenna, to be the majority on You Tube. Science led and focused. In the follow up video please can you cover products that target PIE. My spot marks last literally months. I am using a combo of AM/PM Niacinamide, Centella, Tretinoin, LAA an AHA 2/3 x a week and a tranexemic acid serum with little impact. I read about Kojic acid, but can't find a low ph serum with a good inci list. Thanks chick xoxo

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO FREAKING MUCH! Thank you so much for the content you’re posting.

I needed this because I had such a bad breakout last week that I'm still dealing with. Thank you, Kenna!!!

Please don't stop making videos for us!!!

This is the best acne video I’ve ever watched. I’ve dealt with acne for 8 years straight, and this has helped me a lot. Thank you for making this.

Kenna, you are the beauty guru youtube ever needed but didn't knew

The breadfruit for acne sounds wonderful! I might have to get your kit! 😘

Thank you so much for posting this! I not only found it incredibly informative but you also reminded me that my acne isnt who I am and I have really needed that reminder (:

I’m so excited for this!!! I need this. My cystic acne is killing me as a grown women.. I’m excused of the painful cycle of acne on my face. My face looks scary.. the into to this really hits home.

I love how you have an idea ask the question and hours later the video it's up!!! So diferent from other youtubers

I've been dealing with acne since 13 and I'm almost 25 now.. Thank you for this video! :)

Thanks for all the tips! I hate having clogged pores and blackheads I'm always picking at them.

What a timing! I‘m struggeling with painful acne on my whole face since 3 weeks. Never had that so bad before and now I‘m 36 and hide in my appartment since 2 weeks... dermatologist already consulted, now waiting for my gynecologist to return from vacation. BTW, I now like your eyes without the obvious fake lashes much more, you‘re such a beautiful person 😍

Thank you for this video. It's very helpful to have someone speak directly about these things instead of reading a million articles about it, which ultimately feel more impersonal to me and don't help. The only suggestion I have is to spell the ingredients you're talking about on the screen as you go through them. I think it would be nice to have that visual of the word. But I appreciate you putting them in the description so I can look into them more. Again, thank you!

Never had acne until I turned 20 & then I started really paying attention to ingredients. Now I’ve gotten it under control & love learning more! Thank you for such informative videos

thank you for this video 💜 battling is acne is suffocating and tiring and makes you insecure about how you look. Thank you for this 💞

Just what I needed! Thanks Kenna!

I love getting informed !!!!!

Listen, I’m hearing you, but I can’t get over how stunning you are! Also, thank you for this in-depth video! I learned a lot.

Thank you kenna ❤️ I think you are the first person that I have ever heard say that it’s ok to have acne

This was so helpful! Thank you Kenna 🖤

It's wonderful to hear a smart woman talking 😍

You’re so beautiful! 😍 I love this channel so much!

Thank you, Kenna!!

Thank you for making these videos! I would love a similar video on skin texture/acne scar skincare.

I have been struggling with acne for years and even worse after I had my son I just never know what to look for in products that will actually help me. Thank you for this video!

OMGGGG!!! Thanks . I already have this products on my skincare routine... But now it all makes sense You could do a video on what to put on our face first. Step by step I would really appreciate it ! 💞💞

Great video! I found sulfur cream is also greatly helpful for surface acne spots. I’ve been doing salicylic acid cleanser but it’s not cutting it, started looking into tretinoin...the more I research I did the more intrigued I got.

Just adore 🥰 your videos and everything you are accomplishing 🙏🏻✨

This was so helpful!!! I love your videos!

could you do a video on derma rolling? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

very good video! thank you

I think the way you got into skincare is so interesting. I preordered the skincare system on your site and am really excited to try it. I have some acne which I believe to be hormonal + maybe also related to my digestion and from time to time mild rosacea. I actually use nothing on my skin cause everything I tried felt ‘too harsh’ for me and mainly I’d love something that can help my skin feel hydrated and has anti inflammatory properties. And well, as you said, I too noticed that if I am particularly stressed my acne will just get worse. Thank you for your video, very informative as always. Also your skin is glowing ! You are such a natural beauty

Thank you so much! That was VERY informative!

Hey Kenna, you are currently, my favorite youtube channel. Please don't stop making vids!!!

Pleaseeeeee do a video showing your natural recipes for acne, my skin it’s very oily and I don’t no what to do, HELPPP 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Quite enjoying the Biochemist perspective, since the skin care world is still very much led by misconceptions. However I gotta say retinol/retinoid is vitamin A and do not exfoliate skin.

I have been struggling with acne since I was in middle school. I am now 21 & still have acne & acne scaring. I can’t wait to receive your skin care to see if it works for my sensitive skin ☺️

This was very helpful and informative, thanks so much!!

love your content! You and Dr Dray combined really give me a good guideline for skincare. You are also so beautiful!

I am sold on the breadfruit! I will DEFINITELY be purchasing your products. I've been struggling with hormonal cysts for 7 years from age 21 and I've been looking for something different on the market for years. You're amazing!

This is so helpful! Would you please do a video regarding Rosacea and ingredients that may help? Or natural remedies! 😀

This video has helped me so much!! Thank you!!!

im so glad your making more content

My favourite acne busters are... Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Azelaic Acid. I also love Retinol. But you have to be careful with Retinoids, as I'm sure overuse caused burst blood vessels on my face and started to make me look even older. Benzoyl Peroxide Is great when you first go into battle with acne and your face is covered. But it won't stop new acne from coming. And it bleaches anything it gets on. So I used to only use it at night, with an old towel over my pillow. The only over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide product I know of in the UK is Acnecide 5% Gel. Yesterday I ordered some Caudalie Resveratrol [Lift] Night Infusion Cream. But I don't know if it's the same Trans-Resveratrol you spoke of. The only Salicylic Acid product I can use is The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. All other Salicylic products I've ever tried have caused me so much damage. 1) Acne 10 Times Worse. 2) Bright Red Sore Skin. 3) Dry sore skin around my nose. I have super oily skin and I get most but not all of my products from The Ordinary. I'd say the Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution has been the biggest star in clearing my face of acne. But I've just started using their Lactic Acid, and I think that could possibly be another great product.

Glycerin soap has been great for my acne-prone skin. It’s heavy duty cleanser without being drying. Glycerin has mild exfoliating properties and it helps regulate skin cell lifespan.

Our queen ras returned ♡

I literally thought this was Shailene Woodley when I clicked on this video. But glad I clicked. Very informative!

This was sooo helpful thank you!

I'm 25 years old and just started dealing with hormonal acne after switching birth control, but I figured out the most important thing was to leave it alone! It really pays off to be patient instead of picking at it and it making it worse. In my routine I use double cleansing with an oil and then a gentle cleanser, but after watching this ima try azealic acid for the scarring. Thanks for this video!!

Hi Kenna, thanks for your informative videos. Could you do a video explaining the shelf life of different beauty products and how often we should be tossing/replacing them? Thanks!

Love this! I find that my acne and redness of my pimples are reduced when I do the first cleanse od my double cleanse with a mix of jojoba oil, tamanu oil and (a very small amount based on aromatherapy instructions) of lavender essential oil if anyone wants to try that. I love tamanu in skincare products and find it's helped my skin a lot along with glycolic and salicylic and I use benzoyl peroxide when I need more instant gratification haha!

Would be cool to see a video from you on how olaplex works and do a test to show the bonds etc? And weather or not it actually works. :)

Guys you can just buy the Glycolic Pads by Nip+Fab. They contain: 5% glycolic acid Salicylic acid Lactic acid (When using the Night Pads, the next day you have to wash your face and apply SPF protection in the morning) It has honestly helped my skin a lot it got rid of my red acne scars which made it look like I had a lot of acne on my cheeks even though they were just scars, and don’t worry these pads do not burn or sting your skin at all I thought it would but it just feels cold ❤️

Can you please do one of these for anti wrinkle skincare?!

Great video, packed with so much info, thank you Cheif #sciencebabe 🌺💕🌺

Kenna! I love your biochemical perspective on skin care and specific ingredients. As a fellow biochem/ biomedical sciences advocate I would love to hear your review/thoughts on Curology. I have been seeing non-stop adds for this product. Does this stuff really work??

Would have been great if you included some photos but overall wonderful video, very informative, Thank you!!

Awesome video as always! I would love to hear your take on hair and scalp care also if you know anything about it or are interested in discussing it!!

Thank you! This Video was so helpful. My dermatologist told me that I can only get rid of my cystic acne if i use benzoyl peroxide, ALTHOUGH I toöd her that my skin is very sensitive and that the last acne lotion I had from another dermatologist dried my skin out so bad to the point whre my skin was flaking. And she told me i can‘t do anything against my black- and whiteheads other than going to the beautician TWICE a week for a facial. I‘m glad I didn‘t buy the lotion she prescribed me. Again, thank you very much for this Video! Also, can you do a video where you show us your skincare routine?

if you could please do a video on large pores/blackheads!!

Soo when are you dropping your skincare line!! I’m ready to buy it

Literally just ordered from you, can't wait for the magic!

I was hoping you'd say something about getting rid of acne scars... I don't have such a problem, but I do have a few atrophic varicella scars and I really don't know what to try: darmapen, fillers, etc. What's your opinion on modern radiofrequency treatments such as Matrix?

I'm enjoying your channel so much. 😊

This video came at such a good time. Ulta is having their 21 days of beauty where a lot of there products will be 50% off. I’m gonna stock up on a lot of new skin care!!! Thanksxx

regarding oil massages- i do a similar thing with a balm like clinique take the day off cleansing balm! it's an oily balm that really removes all dirt and makeup but i can feel blackheads from my nose coming out and dissolving. i'd recommend using a gel cleanser as a second cleanse after that. a real game changer.

This was such an amazing helpful video. I just wish you mentioned some products that includes those ingredients so that I don’t have to go searching for things. Non the less as per usual your knowledge is always helpful:)

Giving me Shailene Woodley vibes!

If you have oily skin, its because your skin is dry and the skin needs to produce more oil to compensate, which leads too excess oil. This can happen if you exfoliate too much as well. I have oily skin, my dermatologist told me to use a face oil in addition to my skin care regimen. Once I added the face oil (First Aid face oil), which is a light oil, my skin stop becoming overly oily. I went from waking up with a face that looked like it was coated in a layer of oil, to a healthy amount. I use a foaming wash, essence, serum, and face oil daily along with peeling pads at night with face oil. My skin is soooo bright!

Im in love with your eyes ❤️

Could you add like products you would recommend that go along with this video pleaseeeee??

Can you please please do a video on your favorite skincare products?

You are amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Great video! Thank you! What about fungal acne and the itching! I had to be treated for a bacterial infection with antibiotics and that led to the fungal acne. Maybe this can be addressed in your follow up video. Thank you so much!!

I clicked on this video SO FAST thank you

Love your videos!! Could you do a dry skincare routine? Btw how often should I use lactic acid (per week)?

Thanks doll! Been having acne since I went through puberty! Went on curology because it seems like the only thing that works. Benzoyl peroxide doesn’t seem to work for me :( salycilic acid & glycolic Acid have seemed to work for me in the past! And tea tree oil!!! However, tea tree oil is a long process. I’ve heard of yarrow essential oil but I didn’t know it could work with acne. I’ll take a look into it! I’ve gone to the dermatologist but every time I give my concerns and ask questions they dismiss me and smirk at my research and questions. :(((

Good evening, Kenna! 😀🌞

Thank you for this informative video! I have another question: what is niacinamide for?

Juts ordered your moisturizer! Can’t wait to try it ❤️

Important info

Thank you for this

Looooovvvvved this! I’ve been struggling with forehead acne and I really think it has to do with stress from work! 😣 thank you for all the tips and tricks girl keep doing your thing! ❤️

Hi kenna, do a video on BB glow Microneedling what do u think of it? Pleaseee

I asked on your IG, and then saw that you had already posted the video 😅 any thoughts on manuka honey? I use it to wash my face, followed by rose hip seed oil, and a Eucerin moisturizer with SPF 30, and my cystic acne and scarring is gone. I haven’t changed my diet or lifestyle at all. Any actual data, besides Pinterest, that shows it works? Love your channel and how you are using your voice on this type of platform!

I'm still dealing with acne. I had it as a teen and now im 34 and still dealing with. I'm starting to also think I have a mild case of rosacea as well. It's embarrassing and makes me feel self conconsious especially because I can't find a decent foundation that covers it. It just ends up making my skin look cakey & old 😔

You are an absolute QUEEN for this! Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I am 25 and my acne has been constant on my chin for YEARS. They are huge, painful, hormonal pimples and always leave pigmentation. I will be purchasing Altilis Beauty products

Can you do a video on your favorite sunscreens?

After using harsh products for years, I finally figured out that I had sensitive skin. Now, I choose the lowest Ph cleanser I can find. But What helped me the most was changing my pillow cases often and stop drinking Starbucks (or dark roasted/espresso) coffee. Tea used to break me out when I was a teenager, but I can drink it, just not daily.

I get these odd, hormonal and stress breakouts regularly and have tried both salicylic acid, lactic acid and benzoyl peroxide. My skin is dry, sensitive, eczema proned. I'm looking into the "cult favourite" product from biologique recherche, the lotion p50. What are your thoughts on it? Would appreciate your input immensely.

BP is the only thing that works for my skin it makes it acne free, retinol or glycolic or salicylic doesn’t help as well only benzoyl peroxide, it does dry it out but that’s only when I don’t get brakeouts when it’s dry

love ur videos
