Wow, thank you for your kind words! Im glad to help :)

Thank you so much Jordan :)

Hahaha yehey! 💕💖😍

Aaronjoephet Parayno yay thank you sa support! :)

Thank you too! If you want to exfoiate but have sensitive skin id suggest you go for gentle chemical exfoliation using PHAs or lactic acid in toner form in low concentration

Thank you! 🥰🤗 Sure! I could do that :)

For this video I used the ff: (Physical exfoliants) ZO exfoliating polish (magnesium crystals) Easydew gentle peeling gel (cellulose) (Chemical exfoliants) Glowbiotics refining layering solution ZO Complexion renewal pads But I also occasionally use the ff: Peter thomas roth exfoliating super peel Neostrata smooth surface glycolic peel pads Neogen green tee gentle gauze peeling pads Snail white AHA/BHA toner Pixi glow tonic

Thank you, Aisa!🙏❤

Wendy Nual hello! BHA 0.5% is very low concentration, what are the other ingredients of the toner? If you are experiencing rednessC itchiness, burning sensation, i suggest you discontinue everything and let your skin recover. If none of these, then the bumps on your skin could be comedones or small acne lesions - i suggest you consult if you want to know for sure. But for now try: 1. Double cleansing at night 2. Exfoliating with higher concentration chemical exfoliants (5-10%) 1-2x a week Try for 1-2 weeks. If your condition worsens or doesn’t improve, i suggest you see a dermatologist even just for online consultation:)

Yay! you can try salicylic acid in cleanser form first, then if tolerated you can try in toner form 1-2% start gradually :)

@@irenegaile Okay thank you! Though currently - I'm using Cetaphil as my cleanser, do I double cleanse everyday? Or how often should I use the salicylic cleanser?

@@ienarancillo2997 try cetaphil in am and sa cleanser at night. Double cleanse when necessary :)

No, iba cya :)

Sweetville RF ah yes, interesting topic :) cge thanks for the recommendation!

Yes, it's a form of physical exfoliant. Ive tried it, ok naman cya not abrasive on the skin :)

pwede naman the low conc ones

you're welcome! :)

Thank you! Please check my video on ingredients that can help with mild acne: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrSSpqxjr5bFlmQ.html. Also the one on oily skin ingredients, baka makatulong

If none of my suggestions seem to work, best to have a one-on-one consultation na :)

@@irenegaile thank you Doc! Should I use SA cleanser or toner or baka serum?

@@confusedindy try muna sa cleanser, if ok dagdagan mo ng sa toner :)

Harzelen Mae Laconse hello! Great idea! Isip ako how to best explain it, maybe ill shoot one of myself having a facial 😍

@@irenegaile thanks doc! 😘 Looking forward to more videos niyo po 😍

Hi doc! Can home exfoliation replace regular facial?

Many toners have combi of AHA/BHA. If your skin can tolerate it, ok lng naman. Start nalang muna slowly.

Hello! Have you been diagnosed clinically and histopathologocally with Scleroderma? It is a systemic, auto-immune condition brought about by mutations in certains genes. The signs and symptoms can be controlled by many possible medications depending on which organ system is affected. Exfoliation is not one of them. I suggest you talk to your dermatologist about it :)

SA i recommend 1-2% GA i recommend no more than 8% (best to go for 5% or less)

Hi Alfie! Thank you! :) Depends on the percentage. Normally AHA toners with 5-8% can be used daily. Peeling pads or solutions with 10% up can be used 1-3x a week depending on your skin type. The oilier the skin the more often u can peel. :)

@@irenegaile thank you for this information, Dra.😊❤️❤️

@@mrname7379 you’re welcome :)

Mahabang usapan ito heheh. It depends kung anong laman ng rejuv sets, if properly labeled and alam natin ang laman, and kung ang gumagawa ba ay properly registered. Maybe I will make a video about this. Salamat sa idea!

@@irenegaile Thank you po doc! ❤️❤️❤️

Sam Protacio I would be careful in using a combination of those ingredients you mention on your underarms kc they are all irritating. I dont particularly advise tretinoin use for that area unless it is part of a bleaching cream formula (eg kligman’s) but still with caution.

Music Hero hello! You will probably get different answers from different experts. But I personally prefer to was the face, with a gentle cleanser, first to remove all the dirt and debris, before exfoliating. It also depends on what kind of exfoliant you are using - physical scrub or chemical exfoliant. Some physical scrubs are also cleansers so in this case you might not need to wash before you exfoliate. But when using chemical exfoliants either in toner form or peeling pads, i would recommend that you wash your face first :)

Irene Castro if you want 1-2x a week application only, I recommend you go for exfoliating pads. Creams and tonics have lower concentration, ideal for daily use :)

@@irenegaile Thank you so much po, Doc. Keep safe!

Irene Castro you’re welcome! You too!

hello! yes its ok to exfoliate but i would recommend chemical exfoliant rather than physical. You can try toners with low concentration salicylic acid (5%) which u can use everyday.

Claudine Sosa hello! Cge will work on that. Thank you for the support and topic suggestions! ☺️

U can start with low concentration lactic acid or glycolic acid 5%

If youre sensitive pwede din the newer PHAs like gluconolactone :) start slow every other day muna

nakakagulat po kayo doc, ang bilis nyo mag reply. Pero thank you po for answering

anong opinion nyo po about loofahs? hehe kung okay lang po na may follow up questions

@@user-ts1sx1le4h for me, if you have normal skin, ok naman occasionally basta wag lng sobrang rough ng pagkaexfoliate :)

Since you already have a dermatologist, it would be best to ask him/her about your options :) unethical for me to meddle with his/her management kc. thank you for supporting my channel :)

Tretinoin madam search po kyo sa youtube mga american derma po

Hello! U can start with the 5%, if ok na then u can stick to it. But if kulang u can try the 8%. Pwede naman basta well-tolerated :)

@@irenegaile thanks po Doc! 🤗 God bless!

There are a lot of options available nowadays for scars, i suggest you consult so that you can choose depending on your preferences :)

Hello! Yes ok cya the main ingredients are AHA (citric acid) and salicylic acid :) if you’re sensitive you can start muna every other day :)

@@irenegaile thank you po Doc. I'm watching all of your vudeos now and I've already subscribed to your channel. I super love your videos po, very informative and mas kampante ako to listen from a Board Certified Derma🥰❤️

@@xrisstian_9475 maraming salamat sa tiwala at support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sure! Pls send me a message in IG and let’s schedule a proper consultation:)

Codey G hello! The coarser one is the ZO skin health exfoliating polish, the one made from cellulose is the easydew daily extra mild peeling gel :)

Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas thank you so much Doc :)

You’re welcome! :)

Toph Beifong hello! Depends on your skin type and what kind of exfoliant you are using. If you are oily and acne-prone pwede up to 3x a day. If normal to combination skin pwede 2x a week. For dry skin, once a week is ok :)

Hello! Sorry now ko lng nabasa. Your pore size is genetically determined. Pero may mga bagay that can make them look larger than they are at meron dn mga pwedeng magawa to make your pores appear smaller. Make sure you properly clean your face because oil, dirt and debris can make your pores look larger than they are. Exfoliate regularly to remove all the leftover oil, dirt and debris not effectively removed by cleaning. You may also visit your dermatologist to get in-clinic treatments that may help with your pores :)

Yes but my concern is ang dami mo ng actives na nilalagay :) but if it works for you then it should be ok :)

Tretinoin is not an exfoliant so you may benefit from regular exfoliation especially if you are in your 30s up.

@@irenegaile I’m in my early 20s Doc. Is it safe to exfoliate while applying tret (I am guided by a derm po)?

Cleanser-toner-pimple eraser:)

@@irenegaile pwede po ba ang mga product na ito sa maraming bumps sa noo at mga whiteheads and blackheads?

I just use my hands, mas matipid. Basta dapat malinis.

Online! :) or from stores selling korean brands.

Phoebi E hi! It depends on what type of bha exfoliant you are using and the concentration, also if its wash-off or leave-on. If its toner-based, you may apply as soon as the products dry up. If its cream-based, a few minutes should be ok (no need to wait 20-30mins).

Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas oki thank you so much doc 🤗

Phoebi E you’re welcome :)

Honestly I also used that when I was in college. The reason why they dont recommend it is because ung granules nya can be abrasive and irritating on the skin. Some can be sharp enough to cause microtears on the skin kc :)

@@irenegaile Ah ok po .Thank you

@@daryl7793 you’re welcome!

I have videos on those topics in my channel :) Please check them out if you have time :)

Jenn Lori Gepaya hello! Cge i will make one one retinoids :) thank you for the topic suggestion :)

Yup :)

Kier Vincent Salaño hello! Betaine salicylate comes from beets and you’re right, it is used as an alternative to salicylic acid (SA) in areas where SA use is regulated. However there arent that many studies about it yet in terms of efficacy and how it compares with SA. Some say that you need a higher concentration of betaine salicylate to match the efficacy of SA, while others say that it’s similar. Bottom line is, always listen to your skin, observe, if it responds to betaine salicylate and addresses your skin concerns then it means its a good match for your skin :)

Oh I see doc :) Sana magwork sakin ang BS since medyo harsh ang SA for me :(

Thanks sa response doc :)

Oh a clay mask is not an exfoliant except nalang if it contains acids which is not something that I imagine is available. Clay masks are drying and using them with exfoliants may cause irritation.

What about it? :)

You can start slowly and with gentle mechanical exfoliants or low concentration chemical exfoliants. Observe your skin and watch out for irritation. For some people ok lng, but for others you need to let your skin get used to it. I personally use an AHA toner followed by a retinoid at night but I do put moisturizer and an occlusive after :)

@@irenegaile thank you doc ❤️❤️❤️

If you want an in-depth assessment of your skin type, needs and concerns pinaka ok parin talaga mag consult para hindi ka na nag eexperiment bg mga gagamitin mo sa skin mo.

Yes, as long as your skin can tolerate ok lng. Just don't forget to wear sunscreen and reapply as needed :)

Hello! 0.5% lng? That’s low u can use that twice a day everyday if you want.

@@irenegaile hindi naman poba mag o-over exfoliate if i use it everyday? Pero thankyou po doc!!🥰❤️

@@jasminebautista9151 if 0.5% no, that’s low lng :)

hi doc..ano po ibig sabihin ng 10 000 ppm?wala po kasing nakalagay ang aha bha ko kung ilang percent.. 10 000 ppm lang nakalagay at 2 percent niacinamide.

I dont recommend using soaps on the face kc drying cya, stick to gentle cleansers. For exfoliating i recommend low concentration AHAs (5-10%) for normal to combination skin and low concentration BHAs (salicylic acid, 2% or less) if you are oily or acne-prone :)

@@irenegaile thank you. See everyone, coming from a derma, no to soap talaga for face. Okay lang ba yung Pond's anti acne facial foam? Pero high pH siya doc (I used pH strips). But I wanna try yung Celeteque na anti acne, or any facial washes na may salicylic acid na tama lang ang concentration at dapat low ph.

What do you mean acidic?

Hello! Use what? :)

i mean chemical exfoliants po Doc, pero another question doc, is it ok to use niacinamide and alpha arbutin for my age? Im targeting hyperpigmentation, dark spots, physical scarring, and wrinkles po kasi Doc eh, I look older po kasi for my age unlike others. And susulitin ko na po, whats the best treatment po for physical scarring caused by acne?? Thank you Doc, God bless you and more power! - I also want to be a dermatologist po someday hehe

Sa face i usually recommend 1-2% salicylic acid in toner form :) ung 3% hindi naman cya gaanong mataas but if it says for warts or corns baka may iba pa cyang kasamang ingredients na hindi ok gamitin sa face.

Tretinoin is not considered an exfoliant, it is a keratolytic that regulates skin turnover :)

justine opaw123123 hello! I suggest you consult a dermatologist para maagapan at hindi ka magka scar.

@@irenegaile okay lang po ba sulfur soap at bioderm ointment wala kasi kaming pera pangpaderma
