Good to see you Doc. I enjoy your educational content & am thankful for it.

I'm glad you finally posted a video. I missed you Dr. Darvin

I love how brief and educational this video is doc. Thank you so much.

100% agree with you Doc! Thank you for the most valueble advice most people often missed!

It's sooo cool that you're all tatted up!

You are the first person I’ve heard stress diet. Thank you. This resource is amazing. I wish it had been around when I was younger.

Retinol in squalene from the ordinary is great!!! And all product he says you can find them in their pure form.. Great content doc👌

Nice to see you again. Dr Dray said the same thing during her recent videos on scars about the importance to try and get the acne under control first.

Welcome back super doc!

Wow your the only one dermatologist who says that. Thank you so much doc, i didn't know diet plays a vital role in having a good and healthy skin

Great advice! Thank you.

As always, great advice! love from 🇵🇭

Welcome back ☺️

Welcome back DOC.

Hi Dr. David Lim, I'm really glad to stumble to your videos. I'm now subscribed. I love your videos for these reasons. 1. You are honest and really help us to get products that works at a budget. We consumers get sucked into brands because we don't know much and assume brands are reliable and the fancy advert. Having your skill to advise us what is appropriate (best for our money) i really appreciate you for that. As not alot of people can afford the pricey products but do want to care for their skin. (Sometimes you see others not good with money goes in credit card debt). 2. I love that you are an Australian. We live so far and we seem to have limited access to new products that other parts of the world can easily and sometimes get cheaper. I was able to watch your video to know about superfade to help with my pigments. Thanks Dr. David Lim. Please keep up and give us more knowledge. Take care and keep safe.

Yeszzzzz ur back

Hey Dr Lim, have been struggling for years and your videos have really brought me some encouragement so thanks for all that you do! Which derms would you recommend in London / UK? I really want the best person to go with me on my skin journey as from experience a lot tend to just push the treatments they specialize in/happen to have at their clinic... Would really appreciate any help you can give :))

What a wonderful doctor you are

Boy I’ve missed you!

Welcome back

Very informative and helpful. Thank you 😊

Hi Dr Lim. Missed you!!!

great advice...thank you!

Missed your videos !

Thank you so much very helpfull, need to reconsider my diet and learn new healthy recipes

Nice. I'm 46 and I didn't know this. I get maybe 1 zit every two months now...so I guess I can finally start tackling my scars!

Hi doctor davin please can u make a video on water does it help with acne scars, does it boost collagen growth ?

Heeey Dr Lim!!

New video! Good 😃

Hi doc lim 😊what do you think about microdroplet silikon 1000 for acne scars? which is better between silikon 1000 and subcission with filler?or without?

I've missed your lockdown skin care videos. keep them coming!

Ur just awesome ❤️

Hi Doctor, Can we use the Salicylic Acid directly on our face or we have to mix with something before we use it?

Hey Dr Davin, what can help aging skin with hyper pigment ation,? Thanks for your important information. Thanks alot. Bless. A Jamaican.

Can you please make a video on hypertrophic scars treatment or recommend treatment? I was left with multiple hypertrophic and hypopigmented scars (2 - 4 mm in diameter) all over my abdomen and decolettage area following electrocautery for seborrheic keratoses removal. Thank you

It's so tough. I'm 41 and I'm on curology at night (tretinoin, clindamycin, azelaic acid) and dapsone gel in the morning and I still get acne as soon as I have any bit of junk food. It's so hard maintaining a 100% plant-based whole-food diet.

I wish my dermatologist told me diet was very important but she didn’t and now I look like Deadpool. I just tried a new diet and I have to say it worked wonders so far I just wish I had done it sooner. Why aren’t there more dermatologists like you? This should be common knowledge not a secret.

This is very helpful

@drdavinlim can you do a video regarding sebaceous hyperplasia and how to treat them. (treatment process/recovery) tysm

Hi Dr. Lim, are there any plastic surgeons in NYC you can recommend for subcision acne scar treatment?

Wish my derma knew this 37 yrs ago when i suffered thru his assorted treatments the final one being Retina nightly swabs for my entire face. My face was a perpetual red ballon and then Dr. didnt advise re sunscreen. SMH - hard!

Hi. Can you do a video on Hiridenitis Supprativa? I've been reading about laser options to remove the tunnels, but there is not a whole lot of real life reviews or advice.

My son used niacinamide, differin and salicylic acid wash and benzoyl peroxide for spot treatment. The best thing that works is when he added Az Clear i.e. Azelaic acid 20% to his skincare. That is the product that works magically for him -- within just 2 days his skin inflammation has gone down; his whole face is no longer red & looked better each day. He is using differin at night, and Azelaic acid in the day time with niacinamide and mosturiser both day (sunscreen too) & night time. Small amount of differin / azelaic acid goes a long way because it can be drying when too much is used. For easier application differin/azeliac acid was applied on top of moisturiser. Also use a humidifier if your skin is too dry sleeping in the air conditioning room helps. I'm using azeliac acid too as it helps breakup my sunspots and lighten them.

DR David Lim what would be the best solution for my cystic acne scars? Morpheus Microneedling or Subcision PRP with Co2 Laser? I can't decide :( Please help!

Hey doc liamm how to avoid getting acne by using sunscreens thet even mentioned (non- comedogenic).

Dr. Lim, what do you think about Fabior? it has done wonders on my age lines and smoothing out the pitted, rolling, boxcar scars to which I have a ton. But I don't know how 'long' I can keep using this product (I'm past childbearing years)

Is it okay to use Adapalene after using a salicylic acid cleanser? If Adapalene is a retinoid?

What about for very sensetive skin? Is salicylic acid good for very sensitive acne prone skin?? Please reply

Retinol makes me break out. No, I am not talking about purging, I used it for 6 months continuously. Once I stopped, the acne went away. Sometimes, that list of recommended anti-acne actives doesn't work for everyone.

@dr davin lim: im glad you mentioned the diet!!! its what cured my acne!!!

Try cutting out eggs. Eggs feed staph bacteria and trigger inflammation. If you flush (get rosy) when you drink, try cutting alcohol too. I'm East Asian and those two changes have led to a complete clearing of my cystic acne. I thought it was dairy for years but I can eat pizza without problems. If I eat egg-rich foods (e.g., french toast or gelato) I break out like clockwork.

Superb

Hello Dr Davin, can you make a video on steroid-induced acne? Really appreciate it!

What about azelaic acid, would you recommend it? Thank you in advance for sharing so important information.

I was so thin and skinny. Not great for a tall guy. I started using whey products + milk to get some mass. promise my acne got worst... it took time before I noticed it. Plus the dermatologist told me food I'm taking doesn't have anything to do with my acne. 😕 For now derma is giving me. doxycycline for a month erythromycin adapaline azelaic benzoyl I got really bad multiple accumulated scars over years. I hate watching my face in the mirror. 😕 he told me when I get my acne controlled, he'll use filler for my scars.

such a calming voice and intriguing speaker to listen to while keeping it brief but informative. AND without shoving a bunch of products at us to buy. thanks dr. lim!!

Can you please recommend a doctor in NYC that extensive experience with boxcar and ice pick scars? I’m nervous about going to just anyone. 😫😫

Can you give us a long term results effect and side effect update please for subcision?

I always hear good things about niacinamide but for me it was the beginning of my acne and scars it caused my acne in a nightmare like number and I didn't have any scares from my seasonal acne but after niacinamide my face became spotty now I am scared of trying anything on my face and I really don't know how to get red of the spots on my face without ruining my skin more

From personal experience- high fruit vegan diet- low fat, non processed- high carb

What about how diet effects acne scar healing? Can you talk about this? Doesn't all that bad food destroy collagen? Have a young adult relative going though acne scar treatments, but he refuses to eat ANYTHING healthy. Diet is composed entirely of fast food, sodas, monster drinks and cookies. Gained 30 lbs since he started treatment and believes diet has zero impact. The less "results" he sees, the more junk food he eats. How does diet effect skin immune system and healing?

Need help with clarification between these terms: “pimple, acne, blemish, breakout, pores, cyst, zit”

It would be nice if he told us how it happens that people scar and what you can do about it (skincare)! What can help to prevent them! My acne is under control but if you scar from the most smallest zits/pimple it is very frustrating! And if somebody knows what helps to prevent them please 🙏 let me know!!

Doc what you suggest better adapalene or retinol for acne? How many times in a week?

there are some studies about HA filler being longer than 5 yrs, is that true? the fillers did not disappear but move according to MRI, would like to know your thoughts, thanks

I managed to get my hormonal cystic acne under control. I cut out chocolate, can tuna, limited dairy and no bananas. Those were my trigger foods, it may be different for other people. I started to use corsx salicylic acid wash and those little corsx acne patches are amazing! thats all i needed i wish i knew all this earlier.

Doctor, what cream would you recommend to reduce facial scars?

Does it real that laser damage the face fat under thé skin , and if in future we are going to look like older ?

I don’t have acne at all but now I have white lump skin around my chin that’s getting worse, seems like it’s getting deeper. I’m 38, can I do anything to help this? I’m so paranoid and the worse it gets the worse I feel.

Hello Dr Lim. I just want to ask if patients in their 40s and 50s can still do scar revision given that the skin does not have much collagen, elasticity, etc anymore. Will is still be effective?

What are you supposed to do if your acne is largely caused by hormonal birth control? I’ve been largely able to manage some acne solely on diet and skin care alone. But the hormones in my birth control method give me acne, and as a result, they are usually the ones who leave me with the most scarring. I’ve tried multiple bc methods and the one I’m on (IUD) has been the one that works best on me. I’m wanting to have treatment done for my scarring but I don’t feel inclined to have my IUD removed just to manage acne.

thank u

Doctor I would love to be your patient, but I am in Costa Rica. I suffered acne as a tenager, and then in my early 20's got a pretty serious break out. I am 45 now, and I have gone through a lot treatments since them. However, there are not dematologists in my country who are specialists in acne scars removing. And treatments are quite expensive with not very dramatic results as I can see in your videos. What do you recommend me. I have a variety of scars types, and have gone through chemical peelings, at the beginning, later I got acid, subsitions and laser, as well as microneedling.

Thank you for your advice, but since I am over 55 and I already have scars, what treatment would you suggest for someone like myself. I just want less visible scars but don't know what treatment to go for. Thx

Doc,se que igual y nunca me lea y menos porque le escribo en español, pero sería mi sueño cumplido el que venga a México y pudiera tratarme!!! 😪😪😪

Dr can u please upload a video on papular scar

Hello Doctor. 🖐

But my skin is always up and down ! If it was that easy everyone with acne would be able to “control” it

Can u receive out of country patients

Can we all agree that Dr. Davin Lim should do a Raffle Winner for Free Acne Related Free Surgery

It's hard to cut sugar when everything has sugar, and lots of it!

Doc can you help me please to my problem ice pick scar and open pores 😌

As someone who's tried everything, I can understand where he's coming from but at this rate I'd never be able to get rid of the scars. Some acne just isn't treatable. In that case surely a few years of more or less scar free skin is better than none, right?

And BP spot treatment + cerave moistirizer

Also, do you have a colleague here in the States that specializes in scar revision as you? Brisbane is really very far. 😩

Hey my son had a hemangioma, he was on propranolol as an infant and it mostly went away but it was still slightly raised and a hint of color to it. He’s 10 and he’s biracial(he has a pretty dark tan/olive color. He was messing with a family friends dog and the dog nipped him on the hemangioma not enough to get stitches but it will definitely leave a scar. I took him to the dermatologist and we have been using silicone bandages. She said because of his skin color that his scar will most likely come up white and we may be able to get laser a year from now(now the hemangioma is more raised she said because it has fatty tissue behind it now.) She said also because of his skin tone the laser will only help with the redness and not with the scar. Do you do consultations through Skype. I just feel bad because it’s right between his eyebrows and will most likely permanently scar him from what the dermatologist said.

What even causes these deep scars

My face is stained Can you help me?

And consistent Salicylic acid peels for my skin /acne type

My skin is crying.. I need ur consultation.. 😞😞

❤️❤️❤️

Can you get plastic surgery while on accutane?

You’re back!!!!! Your tat is sick dude

I hope the 6 people that didn’t like this video are having a better day today ✌🏽

GG artist, from french.

Pause. How badass do you look with those tattoos???!

Been a while.

Well back, it’s been a why.

If you want to tackle your active acne just switch your diet , I promise you literally all you need to do, won't heal your scars but the active acne will be gone

Yup. I joke to myself that every pimple I ever had is still on my face. I inherited my dad's skin. Tazorac 1% is the only thing that smoothed them out.
