FINALLY! Someone gave me an idea of what these bumps might be. Everyone was like "fungal acne" but mine never itch and are skin coloured and sometimes turn into blackheads.

I’m so upset i found this RIGHT AFTER i used the shampoo. I would like to sincerely apologize to my skin

Cathy: Your diet triggers closed comedones! Me: *watching while drinking soda & eating chips* hmm i see

people be slashing and roughly rubbing their cleansers all over their skin for 10 seconds and rinse off and then complain abt how their skin texture isn't improving, yeah I wonder why😒 If y'all actually don't know: first, you should wash your hands really good, don't forget to wash under your nails too (you can't wash your face with dirty hands), wet your skin a couple of times (your skin is like a sponge, in order for it to absorb all the good chemicals/ingredients it needs to be wet thoroughly). Apply the cleanser on your hands and rub them to create a foam (if you’re using a different cleanser you should still rub your hands to distribute the liquid equally). Apply on your face in GENTLE motion, I suggest using your middle and ring fingers, especially around your eye area since that skin area is more sensitive. Keep applying the cleanser for a good minute (cleansers take time to absorb into skin and actually start working, so washing your face for 10-15 seconds won't do anything to your skin, you will just waste the product. Applying the cleanser from 1-2 minutes will ensure the ingredients to soak into your skin through the thick barrier and start working. A lot of idols do this technique and their skin is glowing)) I personally like to spread the cleanser from my cheeks, to my nose, to my forehead, and then to my chin (I switch the order too but always do my cheeks first) and finish off with my eye area. Then rinse it off with warm water, don't let it be too cold or too hot because that will also break the skin barrier and stress your skin out, causing more breakouts. Then I wipe my face with a towel lightly, not too much so my skin would be a little bit damp to absorb the moisturizer well. Toner is optional, if you have it then use it but if you don't it's still fine. Pump your moisturizer and spread equally in your hands. Now, my skin type is combo and my concern area is the t-zone so I like to put the moisturizer on my cheeks and whatever is left on my forehead then nose, and then chin (your way may differ depending on your dry areas). LASTLY, this is important, dab your skin lightly to help the moisturizer absorb well and lock in your skin!!! This is also a good tip: Rub your hands to create heat and gently press on your face, this will increase the blood flow in the skin, allowing oxygen and nutrients to move through blood vessels which is essential for the regrowth of damaged tissue)) Give your skin and your skin care ingredients some time (2 months is a good period of time where you can see changes) to get to know each other and work together to make your skin look perfect. Hope this helps :)) oh and PLEASE do not forget about your neck!!! you don't need a special routine for your neck but at least applying toner to wipe off the dust/dirt and applying moisturizer afterwards will help so much, also try doing massages and move your hands from up to down (so going from your chin, apply a little bit of pressure and start moving your hands down all the way to the base of your neck where your shoulders are) this will make your neck look so much better AND DO NOT PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO WEAR SUNSCREEN WHEN GOING OUT EVEN IF ITS CLOUDY!!! Update: One of my friends told me to try this one skincare/makeup company called SSTAGIONI COSMETICS and yall- I love it😭 I had a lot of dark spots so I decided to buy their vitamin c and you can really see the difference even tho it’s been like 2 weeks?? Also recommend the cleanser (lightweight and doesn’t leave my skin dry), the toner (very moisturizing!!), and the moisturizer bc it also contains spf so it’s a double win.

Sis keeps on smiling now I can’t stop smiling, she has sunflower, sunny vibes 🥺🧡

Lmao my diet is probably causing all my skin problems. I drink milk everyday and eat sweets a lot 🙂

Products recommended -gentle exfoliation:low concentration of salicylic (BHA) and glycocylic acid. Use salicylic acid cleanser -retinoids (prevent CCs) -benzoyl peroxide (kill bacs but also hydrate ur skin, use moisturiser) -azelaic acid (prevent bacs frm multiplying too fast)

I think the subtitles are drunk

i am now regretting all the money i spent investing in a fungal acne routine, because all the signs of cc hit the nail on the head for me

Thank you so much for making this, I thought I had fungal acne until watching this video. Thank god I didn't use shampoo though!

You make things understand very simply, love your way of talking.

Thank you for making this video! I have had these bumps for years! I’m 17, and have found photos of fungal acne, webpages on fungal acne, and finally have some idea on what my skin might have in store. I don’t believe I have fungal acne, thank you for mentioning CC! 🤍🌸🤗

I was literally about to go get the dandruff shampoo 😂 glad KZfaq was like “nah watch this first”

I honestly don’t know what I have and I’m so done with my skin. I always get comments about my skin: „Have u ever heard of skincare?“ „Do u ever wash ur face?“ „Ur face is disgusting“ „I’m eating, go away“. I even find myself disgusting. I hate myself so much bc of my looks. Man I try so many things but it isn’t working for me. Edit: it’s Been 3 months, since then I informed myself a lot about skincare and my skin got SO MUCH better it’s almost perfect and everyone who used to give me these comments is literally asking me for help for their skin and my sister for example who pointed out my skin sm is literally using my products and all that. I love karma

Thank you for this!! Also thanks so much for also including the prices of things in the description next to each item - very helpful!!!

I don't even have either of these conditions, but I'm so glad I clicked and watched. Love how you present with some humor but mostly straightforward and clear explanations that are science-based. I'd love to see a mention of which products are vegan and/or cruelty-free as you are making your recommendations. Thanks and keep up the great work!

i’m so thankful that you said what colour it would be if our skin is darker!! really thank!!

The background music is a little too loud, kinda competing with your voice; but great video! Very informative. Thank you!

thank for putting the prices by the products in the description and the links to the articles.

Thank you for your no nonsense advice. Me and my bumpy skin really appreciate it.

My acne stresses me out so much, your videos are such a stressfree antidote to tackle it 😭❤️

me buying a whole fungal acne skincare routine then figuring out i just have cc’s 🥲

This is the most accurate video I've watched. I've been to the derma before and these are what they discussed and recommended for me. It really helped me get rid of my cc's.

thank you so much for including every skin colour!!

it feels like I have both fungal acne and closed comedones because they aren't itchy, but they go up to my hairline, they're dark-colored, but in different sizes, and sometimes come with pimples, but never turn black, and they're only on my forehead. edit: I've been washing my face with a cerave cleanser and using niacinamide and bha and wearing more sunscreen, they're not as bumpy as before and are kinda smooth but there are still dark brown spots

I just want to say this because it's important. Pay attention to your body. I was struggling with stomach issues for 2 years and during that time my skin was getting progressively worse. I was diagnosed with IBS in 2019 and that explained a lot. When your gut is out of whack it definitely disrupts everything else. Purchasing products will only be a temporary fix if you don't get to the root cause of it.

Girl, you honestly saved my life. ❤

Best video I've found on CCs, been looking into CCs or what I thought were mila for years with very little information!! Finally know enough to create an effective routine

The fact that this bumps appeared when I started to use a salicylic acid cleanser 🤷‍♀️

Her skin is brighter than my future.

Her smile is contagious, omg, i haven't seen such a smiling face person before.. she is sunshine🤗😇

really informative and well produced video! i was always confused with all the "acids" in recent skincare .thx :)

Bruh she’s so fucking organized explaining this whole thing imma subscribe 💯

Finally someone made this video 😭because I knew I did not have fungal acne but I didn’t know what to do

omg im obsessed you're so pretttyyy and this video is the solution to my biggest skin problem. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ALREADY

Simple cleanser: Vanicream Sensitive Face wash Simple moisturizer: cerave moisturizing cream👍

The EXACT video I need because almost everyone is over-classifying these bumps as fungal acne without going through a more thorough evaluation! Thank you so much 😊

found your channel 10 minutes ago… and i can tell i already have a new obsession

She's so sweet and fun to watch 😁

I have been using the SA cleanser from Cerave, the glycolic acid toner and the niacinamide from the ordinary and those products helped me clear my forehead of CCs soooo much. Definitely recommend 👍🏼

YOUR CHANNEL IS INSANELY GOOD AND I HOPE YOU GET MORE RECOGNITION! YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE TOO 🥺

You actually helped me revealed my real skin problem. I'd thought i have fungal acne but when you explain about the symptoms i realized that i have cc.. tq so much. I just want to hug you. You have gain 1 subscriber today

She's so cute and informative, I'm surprised she doesn't have over a million subscribers!

I’m humiliated I put the shampoo on my face 😔 thank you for informing me

Omg a skincare channel presenting actual research in an understandable manner?!?!😱 This is great! Thank you so so much for this! 😄

thank you sooo much for this video I have been struggling with this for YEARS and I never knew what it was

i understand she is a skincare youtuber but her skin is literally amazing

I’m too poor and too self critical to see a dermatologist that’s why I’m here.

THAN YOU SO MUCH KZfaq FOR RECOMMENDING ME THIS I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS ACNE FOR YEARS

Finally someone explained it well

I am seeing your channel for the first time... I clicked the video just to find the solution for CC... But your smiling is just killing me❤... It's just so cute and it gives me positive energy...

GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS VÍDEO, GIRL! in this sea of influencers saying sh*t and confusing people it is a glad to see clear and science based content ♥️

This is a bit random but can we take a moment to appreciate the whole vibe in this vid, you sound so sweet and i feel happy watching videos like this :)

I literally know nothing about skincare,,, I think I finally found someone who can educate me ㅠㅠ thank you for the video

this is so helpfulllll thank you my skin has been much better afterwardsssss!!∵∴∶∷∷∷∴∷

Bruh I was convincing my parents to buy me that shampoo😭😭

Very very thorough video! I love how you really seem to know your stuff and you're giving every angle of information we need to know- from how to identify it, to treatment and even prevention. I gotta say I haven't seen nearly that many channels go as in-depth, you've gained a new subscriber :)

Really like these videos!! Information is conveyed in a clear and concise manner, also the music playing while talking is so distracting for someone like me

Thank you I have been spending months on trying to identify my acne and thanks to you I can finally identify them . I really like your videos and then way you explain it

I love watching you talk and your smile is mesmerizing! New subbie here! Thank you for this amazing video

This is the best explanation ever especially on how u differentiate between CCs and fungal acne. Now I know I have this CCs for like yearssssss and I've tried everything and they never go away 😭😭😭😭

The real barbie right here ! Video was so informative, thankyou❤

I’m so lucky to find this video on time. I thought I had fungal acne and about to use that shampoo on my skin. Thanks a lot.

Lots of great information! I love that you touched on all topics and causes for this type of acne, such as dehydrated skin, diet, etc.

Wow, the quality of your channel is off the chart! Subscribed

this is so good - i was sceptical calling them fungal acne but this is exactly what they look like

Wow! Fungal acne and closed comedones are so similar! I thought I had fungal acne (but I didn't really do something to them😂) but after hearing the differences between them, I realized that what I got is closed comedones. It isn't itchy and it is similar color to my skin. I hope these dissappear from our faces🥺

I liked this channel a lot because she is really straight forward and talks with facts. Keep going like this sis.

THANK YOU FOR EXISITNG U GIVE OFF SUCH GREAT VIBES ISTG AAAH

I love the fact she's always smiling 🥺❤️and she's soooo cuteeeeeeeeeeee 😭❤️

I’m so grateful i was able to discover your channel 🥺 your vlogs have been informative and easy to understand. I learned a lot from your vlogs and it gives me assurance that my acne journey will be in good hands and I can surpass it. 😭 Thank you so much ❤️

Hey, loved the video. Just a small suggestion though - Maybe turn the volume of the background music down a little bit. I have a ear infection at the moment so I found it very hard to hear what you were saying against the loud music. This could also be an issue for people with hearing difficulties.

Thank goodness for this video, I was about to spend my money on a fungal acne routine.

All of those years i was searching for these research,i am a big sufferer 😭 Tysm❤

Thank you! You helped me figure out these are closed comedones and makes sense 💖 Appreciate all the advice

The last few weeks I started using La Roche Effaclar foam clenser and CeraVe's hydrating lotion, not the pm one, and let me tell you that my bumps have significantly decreased! I almost have none now. So happy with the results.

This is a Godsend 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank youuuuu

this one helped and helps me so much!

I have hair that goes over my forhead, and was itching at the bumps at my face. Came here after they started to bleed and was flipping out. This chilled me out, so thank you!

i started using the ordinary niacinamide and it reduced the texture/CC on my skin. i still have them but its better than it used to be

I literally want to cry, I've thought I had fungal acne for months and I've been so stressed out that I can't get rid of it with all the products I've bought and research I've put into it. Thank you so much for this video, you've helped me in such a major way. Thankyouthankyouthankyou

OMG! I’m so happy I found this video after watching Hyram’s video and convincing myself I have Fungal Acne. I was about to buy the shampoo! This video is super helpful, I loved her! And I’m definitely subscribing. I went on crazy months trying a bunch of Korean skincare that I think I messed up my skin and now I have to go back to basics and keep it simple. Thank God for this gorgeous and smart angel!

you're a lifesaver 💞💞

thanks so much for this video 🥰 now i’m positive that i only have cc’s

Hey. Could u make a skin care routine for different types of skins? Me personally with combination skin and cc find it real hard to find perfect skin care products

I'm so glad I found this before I started wasting money 🤗🤗

It’s my first time watching your videos!!! I guess I’ve finally found out what’s my issue. Definitely not fungal. Thank you so so much. I love personality tooooo ✨🔥

Omg thank you so much for this I was in a panic thinking I had to switch up my whole routine bc I thought I fungal acne

Thank you for making this video, it helps a lot! I got a little frustrated with tiny bumps on my forehead and been thinking about buying that one anti-dandruff shampoo, but thankfully i haven't because now i think they more likely are CCs than fungal acne so thank you!!! Love how you explain everything and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Definitely a new fan here!!

Stumbling on this video helped me get a clear idea that it really could be a mix of Fungal acne and closed comodones

I swear you have the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!

Ugh! You’re so pretty 😍

Oh my gosh, I was about to get nizoral because I thought I had fungal acne but they were out of stock. Then I stumbled upon this. Thank you so much!!!

The way I literally have these I mean I went to the dermatologist and I’m on treatment for them and they’re getting better but the fact that KZfaq knows that this has been my main problem with acne for the past three years is so refreshing I’m still gonna watch this video

Her voice is too good for ears. 🥰

I think this video just changed my life 🤯 so thatttsss what I’ve been having all my life

you are amazing!!!!!!!! I was wondering for a while if its fungal acne but now im sure its ccs.thank you sooo much.please do skincare videos for teens

You will make me glowww gurlll

Finally someone who explains the cc in totality. New mom, pcos and dry skin boom
