Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video begins by addressing the common frustration with large pores and their appearance. The narrator attributes the perception of pores as a major issue partly to mirrors that magnify them. The discussion will revolve around explaining what pores are, whether they can be shrunk, and creating a skincare routine to reduce their appearance. The narrator refers to a previous detailed video about pores and aims to provide updated strategies for managing pore size.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Sebaceous filaments consisting of oil and dead skin cells fill up pores, making them appear larger. Extracting these filaments leaves visible pores, but the video focuses on understanding causes to minimize appearance. Pores are composed of an opening, oil glands, and surrounding stroma. As collagen supporting pores loosen with age or sun damage, pores appear larger. To counteract this, building collagen is crucial. Excess oil production and dead skin cell accumulation also make pores appear bigger. Controlling oil production, removing excess oil and dead skin cells, and managing epidermal thickness are important steps in a skincare routine targeting pore appearance.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:19:06

    The video recommends starting skincare routines by thoroughly cleaning the pores and addressing oil production. Professional facials can help reset the skin, while daily maintenance involves using salicylic acid and oil-based cleansers. Ingredients like retinoids, niacinamide, green tea, and azelaic acid control oil production. Moisturizers may include oil-absorbing ingredients to reduce oily skin appearance. Retinoids and exfoliating acids help renew skin cells, while building collagen through products and procedures enhances the pore structure. The video concludes with creating a simple routine to achieve noticeable results, emphasizing skincare before considering office procedures.

Mind Map

Video Q&A

  • What causes pores to look large?

    Pores can appear large due to loss of collagen, oil and dead skin buildup, sun damage, and thicker epidermal layers.

  • Can we actually shrink pores?

    You can't permanently shrink pores, but you can minimize their appearance by tightening the surrounding skin.

  • What are sebaceous filaments?

    Sebaceous filaments are oil and dead skin cells that accumulate in pores, making them appear larger.

  • What is the role of collagen in pore appearance?

    Collagen provides structure to pores. Loss of collagen leads to looser skin around pores, making them appear larger.

  • How can oil production in skin be controlled?

    Oil production can be controlled using retinoids, niacinamide, green tea, and l-carnitine.

  • What at-home skincare routine is suggested for large pores?

    A routine involving a salicylic acid cleanser, green tea toner, niacinamide, retinol, and a suitable moisturizer is recommended.

  • Which procedures can help with pores?

    Procedures like microneedling and laser resurfacing help by boosting collagen and restructuring skin.

  • What is the impact of isotretinoin on pores?

    Isotretinoin can slow the growth of oil glands, thus minimizing pore appearance, but it comes with side effects.

  • Why is sunscreen important in pore treatment?

    Sunscreen protects collagen from UV damage, which is crucial in preventing collagen loss that makes pores appear larger.

  • How often should a salicylic acid cleanser be used?

    It can be used once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance.

    for large pores how to quote unquote
  • 00:00:19
    shrink your pores so pores seem to be
  • 00:00:22
    like Public Enemy Number One people are
  • 00:00:25
    very frustrated with these I actually
  • 00:00:27
    think the mirrors are to blame they Zoom
  • 00:00:30
    in further than they should but it
  • 00:00:31
    doesn't matter today with this video
  • 00:00:32
    we're going to talk about what are pores
  • 00:00:35
    can you shrink them how to shrink them
  • 00:00:37
    and we'll walk you through a step and
  • 00:00:38
    create a routine for you to do so this
  • 00:00:40
    is not our first video on pores we've
  • 00:00:42
    done one before and still to this day is
  • 00:00:44
    one of my favorite videos that we've
  • 00:00:46
    ever created because we went into heavy
  • 00:00:48
    detail on what causes pores and I
  • 00:00:50
    actually drew them out in like Ms paint
  • 00:00:53
    probably the worst graphic that's ever
  • 00:00:55
    seen hopefully in this video we can give
  • 00:00:56
    you some updated graphics on what you
  • 00:00:58
    can do to minimize the appearance of
  • 00:01:01
    your pores now in that video you
  • 00:01:02
    probably noticed that as they extracted
  • 00:01:04
    those sebaceous filaments from the skin
  • 00:01:07
    that the pores looked very large
  • 00:01:08
    underneath and this is something I want
  • 00:01:10
    you to think about as we talk about the
  • 00:01:11
    different treatments so all things
  • 00:01:13
    related to minimizing the appearance of
  • 00:01:15
    your pores here we go here we
  • 00:01:20
    go so let's get a little bit back into
  • 00:01:23
    that video so what you saw there was
  • 00:01:25
    some type of peel off mask similar to
  • 00:01:28
    what you see with a pore strip you see
  • 00:01:30
    all this Gunk being lifted out of the
  • 00:01:32
    pores and that Gunk is sebaceous
  • 00:01:34
    filaments that's oil and dead skin cells
  • 00:01:37
    that fill up your pores now this happens
  • 00:01:39
    to all of us but in some people it's
  • 00:01:41
    much more extreme than other people now
  • 00:01:43
    this is a normal thing but as that
  • 00:01:45
    sebaceous filament as that oil as those
  • 00:01:48
    dead skin cells continue to fill up your
  • 00:01:50
    pores your pores start to look larger
  • 00:01:51
    and larger and then when you extract
  • 00:01:53
    them you can actually see open holes
  • 00:01:56
    inside your skin so let's talk about
  • 00:01:58
    what causes your pores to look large cuz
  • 00:02:00
    if we understand what causes your pores
  • 00:02:02
    to look large we can know what
  • 00:02:03
    ingredients to look for and what
  • 00:02:04
    procedures to do in order to minimize
  • 00:02:06
    their appearance so what is a pore a
  • 00:02:08
    pore is built out of three units this is
  • 00:02:10
    just my way of simplifying this for you
  • 00:02:12
    so in the center is the opening to the
  • 00:02:14
    skin that is a circle that you see that
  • 00:02:16
    is the orifice now inside of this
  • 00:02:18
    towards the base you see all of these
  • 00:02:19
    oil glands this is part of the pyos
  • 00:02:21
    sebaceous unit it is structural and
  • 00:02:24
    functional system but surrounding all of
  • 00:02:26
    this is the third part and that is the
  • 00:02:28
    stroma or the collagen and the structure
  • 00:02:30
    that creates this whole thing we know as
  • 00:02:32
    a pore now let's talk about what
  • 00:02:34
    actually makes your pores look larger
  • 00:02:36
    now I I always think about things of
  • 00:02:38
    like what's happening on that molecular
  • 00:02:40
    level so if you look at that pyos
  • 00:02:41
    sebaceous unit that Poe it's surrounded
  • 00:02:44
    by dense collagen right the collagen is
  • 00:02:46
    hugging it's holding on to it right so
  • 00:02:48
    when you're younger and you have more
  • 00:02:50
    collagen and your collagen is much
  • 00:02:52
    denser it's actually squeezing your pore
  • 00:02:54
    to make it look smaller but as we get
  • 00:02:56
    older sun damage damages that collagen
  • 00:02:58
    and elastic support structures your
  • 00:03:00
    collagen becomes looser it becomes less
  • 00:03:02
    dense and your pores actually start to
  • 00:03:04
    dilate and open up so as as you lose
  • 00:03:06
    that hug as the hug gets looser on your
  • 00:03:09
    pore your pore starts to open up so if
  • 00:03:11
    you think about it and we talk about
  • 00:03:13
    treatment we're going to want to build
  • 00:03:15
    up that collagen in order to minimize
  • 00:03:16
    the appearance of pores the second thing
  • 00:03:18
    that happens is that you have these
  • 00:03:20
    sebaceous glands that Dr Maxfield
  • 00:03:22
    described and they're dumping oil into
  • 00:03:24
    that pore they're just dumping oil in
  • 00:03:26
    there and then you have that epidermal
  • 00:03:28
    layer which is turning over new skin
  • 00:03:30
    cells and slopping dead skin cells into
  • 00:03:32
    your pore so from the top you have
  • 00:03:34
    epidermal skin cells slopping into your
  • 00:03:36
    pore and from the bottom you have oil
  • 00:03:37
    just dumping into the pore and that's
  • 00:03:39
    creating debris inside of your pore that
  • 00:03:42
    as it fills up can make your pores look
  • 00:03:44
    larger and another thing that's nuanced
  • 00:03:46
    is that with rosacea in particular the
  • 00:03:48
    oil glands actually take over like you
  • 00:03:49
    get more and more and more of these oil
  • 00:03:51
    glands which leads to more and more and
  • 00:03:52
    more oil production like the oil glands
  • 00:03:55
    actually outnumber like the skin cells
  • 00:03:57
    microscopically it's crazy how many oil
  • 00:03:59
    glands you get so that's something we'll
  • 00:04:01
    have to address too right and I can even
  • 00:04:03
    show you a video we pop it up here of
  • 00:04:04
    how if someone pushes on their nose they
  • 00:04:06
    can actually push out all that oil
  • 00:04:08
    that's even if it's not visible to you
  • 00:04:10
    it has built up in your pores so now
  • 00:04:12
    again kind of foreshadowing to treatment
  • 00:04:14
    we're going to want to control oil
  • 00:04:16
    production remove oil once it's
  • 00:04:18
    deposited and remove dead skin cells
  • 00:04:20
    that have now deposited in your pore so
  • 00:04:22
    just thinking ahead here and then the
  • 00:04:24
    last thing is if that epidermal layer
  • 00:04:26
    gets thicker it starts to make your pore
  • 00:04:29
    look larger larger which means that if
  • 00:04:30
    your skin is more dull it's more flaky
  • 00:04:32
    that stratum corneum is getting thicker
  • 00:04:34
    it will make your pores look larger and
  • 00:04:36
    so exfoliating and removing that top
  • 00:04:38
    layer of skin or thinning out that very
  • 00:04:40
    very top layer of skin called the
  • 00:04:41
    stratum corium can also make your pores
  • 00:04:44
    look smaller so you have noticed you
  • 00:04:46
    have pores and you've decided you want
  • 00:04:48
    to address this that's fine like again
  • 00:04:50
    set your goals your skin care is your
  • 00:04:52
    own now I always approach this with like
  • 00:04:56
    the cleaning first so first we're going
  • 00:04:57
    to remove the oil from skin to give us a
  • 00:05:00
    clean slate right you need almost like a
  • 00:05:03
    factory reset right you've had all this
  • 00:05:05
    stuff build up over time right and so
  • 00:05:07
    doing the things that are more
  • 00:05:08
    maintenance aren't going to put a dent
  • 00:05:10
    in what's already built out there so how
  • 00:05:12
    do we start over one of the first things
  • 00:05:14
    that you can do is actually get a facial
  • 00:05:16
    this is where facials become very
  • 00:05:17
    helpful it's you get a facial and then
  • 00:05:19
    you maintain it with skinc care and so
  • 00:05:21
    some of these water-based suction
  • 00:05:23
    facials they really suck out all the
  • 00:05:25
    gunk that's built up in your pores now I
  • 00:05:26
    don't recommend that you do this at home
  • 00:05:28
    I've said this a million times because I
  • 00:05:29
    do think Poe vacuums cause a lot of
  • 00:05:31
    bruising when you do it by yourself but
  • 00:05:33
    an esthetician who's skilled can
  • 00:05:34
    definitely do this and it will factory
  • 00:05:36
    reset your pores you can also use a por
  • 00:05:39
    strip as a sort of one time once a month
  • 00:05:43
    once every two months to really sort of
  • 00:05:45
    factory reset the pores now you don't
  • 00:05:47
    want to do this all the time because
  • 00:05:48
    it's really quite irritating especially
  • 00:05:50
    if you're using a retinol you could pull
  • 00:05:51
    off your skin with it so this is really
  • 00:05:53
    to be used sparingly and then the last
  • 00:05:56
    thing that you could do is use a
  • 00:05:57
    cleanser that can help to remove some of
  • 00:05:58
    the gunk that's buil bu up in your pores
  • 00:06:00
    that's a salicylic acid based cleanser
  • 00:06:02
    because salicylic acid is the only
  • 00:06:04
    exfoliant that's actually oil soluble
  • 00:06:06
    that can get into those sebaceous
  • 00:06:08
    filaments and remove them out and
  • 00:06:10
    something that's become popular on
  • 00:06:11
    social media which is an oil-based
  • 00:06:12
    cleanser like dissolves like so an
  • 00:06:15
    oilbased cleanser is able to get into
  • 00:06:16
    your pores and help to push this out if
  • 00:06:18
    you massage it onto the nose so again
  • 00:06:20
    you have your deep clean and then your
  • 00:06:22
    regular maintenance cleansing to keep
  • 00:06:24
    those oil glands empty now the
  • 00:06:27
    functional part is once they're empty
  • 00:06:29
    they're going to refill and that's where
  • 00:06:30
    a lot of the daily work comes in we need
  • 00:06:32
    to decrease oil production so how do you
  • 00:06:34
    actually control oil production now this
  • 00:06:36
    is actually something that's really
  • 00:06:38
    challenging so in our old video we said
  • 00:06:40
    there wasn't evidence that retinoids
  • 00:06:42
    could actually control oil production
  • 00:06:43
    now there's good evidence that there is
  • 00:06:45
    so we always say we're willing to go
  • 00:06:46
    back and debunk ourselves there is
  • 00:06:48
    evidence that retinoids can help control
  • 00:06:50
    oil so the ingredients to look for would
  • 00:06:51
    be retinol niacinamide there's study
  • 00:06:54
    that show that niacinamide can help
  • 00:06:55
    control oil production green tea and
  • 00:06:57
    lcarnitine can all help control oil
  • 00:07:00
    production yeah and ither AIC acid as a
  • 00:07:02
    third tier so stratifying this I have it
  • 00:07:04
    like in tiers like so retinoids and then
  • 00:07:06
    green tea and nide both of those
  • 00:07:08
    especially nicomide actually has a good
  • 00:07:10
    amount of data and then we have third
  • 00:07:12
    tier I'd say AIC acid has a study I know
  • 00:07:14
    of and then I guess lcarnitine too I
  • 00:07:16
    didn't know about that one so that's
  • 00:07:17
    news to me but we have these ingredients
  • 00:07:20
    that can be foundational for your skin
  • 00:07:22
    so we talked about how to remove oil
  • 00:07:23
    then we talked about how to control oil
  • 00:07:25
    and then the last category of
  • 00:07:26
    ingredients to look for would be oil
  • 00:07:28
    absorbing ingredients so that's
  • 00:07:29
    something like perlite or silica and you
  • 00:07:32
    find these ingredients a lot in oily
  • 00:07:34
    skin moisturizers and they actually have
  • 00:07:36
    ingredients that absorb oil as it's
  • 00:07:38
    produced by the skin now this can help
  • 00:07:40
    as any oil is building up especially for
  • 00:07:42
    people with oily skin this makes a big
  • 00:07:44
    difference I'll tell you anecdotally it
  • 00:07:45
    it sounds very counterintuitive that you
  • 00:07:47
    would want to moisturize your face with
  • 00:07:49
    oily skin but a lot of people and we see
  • 00:07:51
    this from the comments have oily
  • 00:07:53
    sensitive skin and it's an extremely
  • 00:07:56
    difficult combination to work with so
  • 00:07:57
    these moisturizing ingredients these
  • 00:07:58
    moisturizer for oily skin can be awesome
  • 00:08:00
    because they can actually help provide
  • 00:08:02
    your skin with a nourishment and
  • 00:08:03
    protection a moisturizer does and at the
  • 00:08:05
    same time make your skin feel and be
  • 00:08:08
    less oily than it was to start with it's
  • 00:08:09
    a weird dynamic but these are great
  • 00:08:11
    functional ingredients probably
  • 00:08:13
    underrated now let's talk about turning
  • 00:08:15
    over some of those dead skin cells that
  • 00:08:16
    have built up in your pores and the best
  • 00:08:18
    ingredients to do that is going to be
  • 00:08:20
    retinoids in general so we've already
  • 00:08:22
    mentioned it is controlling oil now
  • 00:08:23
    we're mentioning it as kind of helping
  • 00:08:25
    to turn over those new skin cells thin
  • 00:08:27
    out that epidermal layer of the skin to
  • 00:08:28
    make your pores look less obvious and
  • 00:08:30
    then salicylic acid which we mentioned
  • 00:08:31
    earlier as removing oil is also able to
  • 00:08:34
    remove some of the dead skin cells that
  • 00:08:35
    build up in your pores and then the last
  • 00:08:37
    category is that hug how do we
  • 00:08:39
    strengthen the hug on your pore to make
  • 00:08:42
    your pores look smaller by squeezing
  • 00:08:45
    them from the outside in and that's
  • 00:08:47
    going to be things that can build up
  • 00:08:49
    your collagen structures right so
  • 00:08:51
    addressing the structural component of a
  • 00:08:53
    pore this is the most
  • 00:08:55
    misunderstood part of a pore and I think
  • 00:08:58
    a large part of it is is because some of
  • 00:09:00
    the most effective things are in office
  • 00:09:01
    procedures and so people just aren't
  • 00:09:03
    familiar with it but this is like where
  • 00:09:05
    I think everyone falls short they've
  • 00:09:06
    used the topical ingredients they've
  • 00:09:08
    cleaned out their pores they're getting
  • 00:09:09
    the facials probably on a regular basis
  • 00:09:11
    and they're like nothing is changing my
  • 00:09:12
    pores are still large but that's cuz all
  • 00:09:14
    of what we've talked about so far
  • 00:09:15
    addresses the oil production or the oil
  • 00:09:17
    gland and not the structure which
  • 00:09:19
    actually is the ring creating the pore
  • 00:09:21
    that you see so here we can have
  • 00:09:23
    ingredients the retinoids once again
  • 00:09:25
    doing lifting creating collagen
  • 00:09:27
    increasing the hug tightening it up nice
  • 00:09:29
    and
  • 00:09:29
    as they say and then Additionally you
  • 00:09:31
    can use your exfoliants that also thin
  • 00:09:33
    the stratum corium like glycolic acid
  • 00:09:35
    that increase collagen production once
  • 00:09:37
    again increasing that supportive
  • 00:09:38
    structure to make it tight and then at
  • 00:09:41
    this point I would say probably moving
  • 00:09:43
    into procedures is where you're going to
  • 00:09:45
    see a multifaceted benefit for the
  • 00:09:47
    structural part if you notice when we
  • 00:09:49
    talked about skin care retinoids hit all
  • 00:09:52
    three categories they contribute to the
  • 00:09:54
    appearance of pores so and it's not
  • 00:09:56
    going to just do that it's going to do
  • 00:09:57
    anti-aging rank
  • 00:09:59
    Fine Lines acne so you always hear we
  • 00:10:02
    say retinol we say it all the time it's
  • 00:10:04
    our favorite ingredient it's because it
  • 00:10:06
    does so much for so many different skin
  • 00:10:08
    conditions that even if you had pores
  • 00:10:10
    and texture retinoid could take care of
  • 00:10:11
    that if you had acne and pores you could
  • 00:10:14
    take care of that if you had dark spots
  • 00:10:15
    and pores retinoids are going to do that
  • 00:10:17
    and it has so many functions and that's
  • 00:10:19
    why it's really going to be a Hallmark
  • 00:10:21
    of a lot of people's different skincare
  • 00:10:23
    routines now jumping on to procedures if
  • 00:10:25
    you think about it anything that causes
  • 00:10:27
    trauma to the skin is going to activate
  • 00:10:29
    those wound healing mechanisms and wound
  • 00:10:31
    healing triggers fiber blast to produce
  • 00:10:33
    more collagen and so that's why a lot of
  • 00:10:35
    our in office procedures that do
  • 00:10:36
    minimize the appearance of pores are
  • 00:10:38
    things that cause microt trauma to the
  • 00:10:40
    skin or trauma to the Skin So micro
  • 00:10:42
    needling in general is going to boost
  • 00:10:44
    that collagen it's going to tighten and
  • 00:10:45
    minimize the appearance of pores laser
  • 00:10:48
    resurfacing lasers whether it's herum or
  • 00:10:50
    CO2 or fraxel anything like this is
  • 00:10:53
    going to actually boost that collagen
  • 00:10:55
    and minimize the appearance of your
  • 00:10:57
    pores these procedures do double duty
  • 00:11:00
    not only do they increase the collagen
  • 00:11:01
    but they very directly restructure the
  • 00:11:04
    structure of your skin especially like
  • 00:11:06
    fractional CO2 or even Micron needle
  • 00:11:08
    where it directly creates thousands of
  • 00:11:09
    little holes in the skin in my opinion
  • 00:11:11
    very anecdotally like just I think about
  • 00:11:13
    it and I'm just like this just breaks up
  • 00:11:15
    that stroma under the skin that like
  • 00:11:18
    network of collagen that's creating this
  • 00:11:20
    pore and it's kind of resetting it it
  • 00:11:22
    like breaks it up starts new collagen
  • 00:11:24
    growth and I think this is the most
  • 00:11:27
    impactful way for pores to be minimized
  • 00:11:30
    like if you're looking for a result that
  • 00:11:32
    is noticeable dramatic to where you look
  • 00:11:34
    in the mirror and you're feeling like
  • 00:11:35
    you got your money's worth even though
  • 00:11:36
    it can be a big investment I do think
  • 00:11:38
    these procedures the more aggressive
  • 00:11:40
    ones in particular are really where
  • 00:11:41
    you're going to get the most benefit
  • 00:11:43
    there is an in-office prescription or
  • 00:11:44
    oral treatment that has been shown to be
  • 00:11:46
    effective it's like very specific so
  • 00:11:48
    isotretinoin or acutane as it's known is
  • 00:11:52
    one of the few one of the extremely few
  • 00:11:56
    ingredients that's been shown to slow
  • 00:11:58
    the progression of this oil gland growth
  • 00:12:01
    which leads to these larger pores on the
  • 00:12:02
    nose so rinofima which is enlargement of
  • 00:12:05
    oil glands especially on the nose one of
  • 00:12:07
    the first signs of this is enlarged
  • 00:12:10
    pores that's the earliest detectable
  • 00:12:11
    sign of rhinophymatous change and again
  • 00:12:14
    there are studies showing that isotron
  • 00:12:16
    can be helpful for this like is this the
  • 00:12:18
    appropriate and a correct treatment for
  • 00:12:20
    you it may or may not be that's a
  • 00:12:22
    discussion between you and your
  • 00:12:23
    dermatologist that's a discussion
  • 00:12:25
    between their comfort level and your
  • 00:12:26
    comfort level and all of the Nuance with
  • 00:12:28
    this but that oral in office treatment
  • 00:12:30
    is one of the few things that can be
  • 00:12:32
    effective at slowing the progression of
  • 00:12:33
    this too so when we talk about
  • 00:12:35
    isotretinoin also known as Accutane it
  • 00:12:37
    was created for acne um is incredibly
  • 00:12:39
    effective acne treatment but a lot of
  • 00:12:42
    people will notice minimizing of their
  • 00:12:44
    pores while they're on this and even a
  • 00:12:46
    lot of videos going viral on Tik Tok
  • 00:12:47
    saying that it actually Shrunk the
  • 00:12:49
    volume of their nose because they were
  • 00:12:51
    on it and it's actually probably true
  • 00:12:53
    whether it's temporary or not it does
  • 00:12:55
    shrink your oil glands it does minimize
  • 00:12:57
    the appearance of your pores like Dr
  • 00:12:59
    Maxfield said it does come with a slew
  • 00:13:01
    of potential side effects um and so you
  • 00:13:04
    have to weigh the risk benefit ratio
  • 00:13:06
    when you take any medication so that's
  • 00:13:07
    something you definitely want to discuss
  • 00:13:09
    with your dermatologist now of course if
  • 00:13:11
    we're talking about collagen and
  • 00:13:12
    procedures that build up your collagen
  • 00:13:14
    we want to make sure that we're
  • 00:13:14
    protecting your collagen as well so
  • 00:13:16
    wearing sunscreen is critical to any of
  • 00:13:18
    these routines because if you're getting
  • 00:13:20
    damaging UV rays that are just
  • 00:13:21
    destroying your collagen it's not going
  • 00:13:23
    to help any of these poor treatments now
  • 00:13:25
    let's jump into a super simple routine
  • 00:13:28
    to minimize the appearance of your pores
  • 00:13:30
    now like we said getting these in-office
  • 00:13:32
    treatments is a place where you're going
  • 00:13:33
    to see a lot of big results but let's
  • 00:13:35
    talk about an over-the-counter option
  • 00:13:37
    that you can go with so again it starts
  • 00:13:39
    with the cleanse clean out your pores I
  • 00:13:40
    think a super simple thing is your
  • 00:13:42
    salicylic acid cleansers uh it doesn't
  • 00:13:45
    have to be fancy you have your large
  • 00:13:47
    volume medicated cleanser from L RO with
  • 00:13:50
    salicylic acid you have your sah VSA
  • 00:13:52
    cleanser both are fine options once or
  • 00:13:54
    twice daily as your skin tolerates so
  • 00:13:57
    that's your cleanser you're going to go
  • 00:13:58
    with the salicylic acid cleanser even
  • 00:14:00
    twice a day if your skin can tolerate it
  • 00:14:02
    and then treatment morning and night I
  • 00:14:04
    think you can start off with a green tea
  • 00:14:06
    toner in this space we've talked about
  • 00:14:08
    toners before we won't go into too many
  • 00:14:10
    details right now but toners with
  • 00:14:12
    actives in them can be very effective so
  • 00:14:14
    you have isant tree and you have in is
  • 00:14:17
    free the same brand confusing things
  • 00:14:20
    yeah I love these green tea toners I I
  • 00:14:22
    really do recommend these in the office
  • 00:14:23
    to patients too love the green tea toner
  • 00:14:25
    to start off your routine if you have
  • 00:14:27
    oily skin which you very well likely do
  • 00:14:29
    because you're looking at a Poe video um
  • 00:14:31
    these feel good they're functional
  • 00:14:33
    they're great perfect now you can
  • 00:14:34
    actually incorporate Nia cinnamide into
  • 00:14:36
    your routine now you can either choose
  • 00:14:38
    to use this morning and night or you
  • 00:14:40
    could just use it one time a day there's
  • 00:14:41
    a slew of Ni camide products that are
  • 00:14:43
    out there a lot of them at higher
  • 00:14:45
    concentrations than you need we've said
  • 00:14:47
    this in the past niacinamide has been
  • 00:14:48
    shown to be effective at concentrations
  • 00:14:50
    5% and less and there haven't been any
  • 00:14:52
    studies on concentrations higher than 5%
  • 00:14:54
    even though you'll see 20 30 40%
  • 00:14:57
    nicomide products out there there's no
  • 00:14:59
    no need for a concentration that high in
  • 00:15:01
    your skincare routine like I do like
  • 00:15:03
    some of the other ones like the L'Oreal
  • 00:15:04
    bright and reveal but functionally I
  • 00:15:06
    like the ordinary Nite 10 with zinc or
  • 00:15:08
    you mentioned another video I think the
  • 00:15:09
    Polish Choice had an NI cinnamide at 5%
  • 00:15:12
    perfectly functional for your skin now
  • 00:15:14
    you can use that morning and night again
  • 00:15:16
    but then at night only you would want to
  • 00:15:18
    incorporate a retinol into your skincare
  • 00:15:20
    routine now this can be prescription
  • 00:15:22
    treone that you get from your
  • 00:15:23
    dermatologist or this could be a simple
  • 00:15:25
    over-the-counter retinol something like
  • 00:15:27
    the cave resurfacing retinol something
  • 00:15:29
    like the rock retinol they pioneered
  • 00:15:31
    retinol so they are the ogs in that
  • 00:15:33
    category but using a retinol is going to
  • 00:15:35
    do a lot of the work that we described
  • 00:15:36
    and so I do think it's foundational to
  • 00:15:38
    your nighttime skincare routine if
  • 00:15:40
    you're trying to minimize the appearance
  • 00:15:41
    of the pores now I don't know when this
  • 00:15:42
    video is going to air but of course I'm
  • 00:15:44
    super proud of the brand that I've been
  • 00:15:46
    working on for the past and you guys may
  • 00:15:48
    have seen the announcement of the brand
  • 00:15:50
    coming out but one of our products is
  • 00:15:52
    remedy for por size which is something
  • 00:15:53
    to minimize the appearance of your pores
  • 00:15:56
    and this product has retinol it has
  • 00:15:59
    salicylic acid it has niacinamide it has
  • 00:16:03
    green tea it has perlite it has kinan
  • 00:16:06
    which has actually been shown with NI
  • 00:16:08
    camide to minimize the appearance of
  • 00:16:09
    your pores so it has all of these
  • 00:16:11
    ingredients in one overnight formula
  • 00:16:13
    that you can use once a day at night to
  • 00:16:15
    minimize the appearance of your boes now
  • 00:16:17
    I will say of all the testers that we
  • 00:16:19
    had in our study which was a bunch of
  • 00:16:21
    people that tried it and saw amazing
  • 00:16:22
    results you do have to ease into this if
  • 00:16:24
    you've never used a retinol before
  • 00:16:25
    because it is a higher strength retinol
  • 00:16:27
    so this is something you're going to use
  • 00:16:28
    use every other night or every third
  • 00:16:30
    night until your skin gets used to it
  • 00:16:32
    because it is that powerful but that's
  • 00:16:33
    how you're going to see the results so I
  • 00:16:35
    don't know if it's going to be available
  • 00:16:36
    by the time this airs if it isn't we'll
  • 00:16:38
    put a weit list uh link below if it is
  • 00:16:41
    available then you'll be able to shop it
  • 00:16:42
    at that time or you could do what we
  • 00:16:44
    said earlier and look at the products
  • 00:16:45
    and mix and match to build your routine
  • 00:16:47
    right and if you haven't caught this
  • 00:16:48
    theme with Dr Shaw's skare it's like he
  • 00:16:50
    he's like pushing the boundary of like
  • 00:16:51
    what's the best result you can get so
  • 00:16:53
    like it may not be starter friendly it
  • 00:16:55
    may not be the thing for the the
  • 00:16:56
    beginner but like this is probably going
  • 00:16:59
    to be like the best result you can get
  • 00:17:01
    so that's totally fair they're allinone
  • 00:17:02
    treatments to simplify people's routines
  • 00:17:04
    I think most people just want simple
  • 00:17:06
    routines and results and they don't want
  • 00:17:08
    to have to layer for maybe there are
  • 00:17:09
    people who want to layer multiple things
  • 00:17:11
    and kind of mix and match and kind of
  • 00:17:12
    build your own salad type of situation
  • 00:17:14
    but a lot of people just want all the
  • 00:17:16
    products in one and so that's our
  • 00:17:17
    challenge we stabilize all these in one
  • 00:17:19
    formula to make them super effective so
  • 00:17:21
    super proud of that obviously hopefully
  • 00:17:23
    you all love it and find it to be as
  • 00:17:24
    effective as the people did in our
  • 00:17:26
    studies so last I would say at you want
  • 00:17:29
    to use a moisturizer something that's
  • 00:17:30
    going to be a little bit more gel-like
  • 00:17:32
    something a little bit more absorbing L
  • 00:17:34
    Ro P Taran double repair Ultra matte
  • 00:17:37
    moisturizer I had a patient tell me that
  • 00:17:39
    this was like peeling on their skin so
  • 00:17:41
    this is something maybe we need to like
  • 00:17:42
    revisit as a sort of top recommendation
  • 00:17:44
    but something that's a little bit more
  • 00:17:45
    targeted a little bit more nice
  • 00:17:47
    cinnamide based moisturizer is going to
  • 00:17:49
    be helpful for you at night and in the
  • 00:17:50
    morning using a sunscreen with again
  • 00:17:53
    niacinamide to help support the collagen
  • 00:17:55
    so your pores don't actually get larger
  • 00:17:57
    with time from that collagen damage and
  • 00:18:00
    it sounds complicated but it's actually
  • 00:18:01
    pretty simple everything can be twice a
  • 00:18:03
    day depending on your skin sensitivity
  • 00:18:05
    except for the retinoid which is at
  • 00:18:07
    night and the sunscreen which of course
  • 00:18:08
    is in the morning and that's it that is
  • 00:18:10
    a complete routine for what you can use
  • 00:18:12
    over the counter to help minimize your
  • 00:18:14
    pores we always put the routine for
  • 00:18:16
    download below so if you want to look at
  • 00:18:18
    the routine that we built and everything
  • 00:18:20
    that you can use to minimize at home and
  • 00:18:22
    then go look for office procedures after
  • 00:18:24
    that after you see results Dr Maxfield
  • 00:18:26
    has a really good diagram that he's put
  • 00:18:27
    out where essentially when you start
  • 00:18:29
    doing skincare you'll actually see a lot
  • 00:18:31
    of results with skincare you can't start
  • 00:18:32
    with procedures first you really should
  • 00:18:34
    start with skincare first get to that
  • 00:18:36
    Plateau where you're not seeing any
  • 00:18:37
    breakthrough with your skincare anymore
  • 00:18:39
    and your your pores are the best that
  • 00:18:40
    they can be on skincare alone and that's
  • 00:18:43
    when you kind of ramp up into either
  • 00:18:45
    prescription skincare or into procedures
  • 00:18:47
    inside your Dermatology office and that
  • 00:18:49
    will help you break through to that next
  • 00:18:51
    plateau and that's where procedures are
  • 00:18:53
    going to get you so get to the plateau
  • 00:18:55
