How to get flawless skin (dermatologist don’t want you to know this)

Key wellness / skin-care strategies mentioned

1) For blackheads & whiteheads (comedones)

• Use non-comedogenic skincare products
• Wash your face twice daily
• Start with salicylic acid (OTC option)
• Prefer retinoids (more effective but harder to find/usually prescription)
• Use retinoids strictly
• Progress slowly in strength/potency over time, e.g.:
  • tretinoin 0.025% → 0.05% → 0.1%
  • tazarotene (noted as part of the progression example)

2) For moderate acne & pimples (diet + gut-focused approach, with a medical option for severe cases)

• Fix diet (claimed to affect acne severity)
• Address the gut/mucus layer connection to skin
• Suggested supplement routine:
  • L-glutamine 5–7 g daily in the morning
• For severe acne:
  • Consider isotretinoin
  • Suggested dosing modification to avoid “purging”:
    • 10 mg every other day (instead of typical 35–75 mg daily), especially to reduce risk of worsening/“purging”
  • Caution noted regarding side effects and availability

3) For hyperpigmentation / post-inflammatory dark spots

• Use tyrosinase inhibitors, specifically:
  • Hydroquinone
  • Retinoid
  • Azelaic acid (OTC)
• Proposed best method:
  • Alternate retinoid and hydroquinone after building tolerance
• Timing guidance:
  • Use azelaic acid in the morning
  • Don’t use hydroquinone or tretinoin in the morning
• Limit hydroquinone duration:
  • No more than 2–3 months at a time
  • Example schedule: 2 months on / 2 months off (or 3 on / 3 off)
• Reason given:
  • Risk of exogenous ochronosis (skin turning very dark)
• Notes:
  • Mentions starting with 4% hydroquinone (instead of 2%), but suggests working up generally

4) For folliculitis (often linked to shaving hygiene)

• Improve shaving hygiene:
  • Use a foil trimmer
  • Disinfect before and after use
• Aftercare suggestion:
  • Use HOCl (hypochlorous acid) spray after shaving / as an aftershave
  • Wash face after

5) For dry / dehydrated skin

• If you don’t have severe acne:
  • Use a more oil-based moisturizer
  • Example: beef tallow (claimed to be more moisturizing than water-based options)

6) For damaged skin barrier, redness, irritation (including rosacea)

• Calm skin barrier using:
  • Centella asiatica
  • Mention of a specific product: Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
• Suggested it can also help with rosacea
• Strong emphasis:
  • Use sunscreen (framed as the most important point)

7) Overall skin health / lifestyle habits

• Dermastamping every 3–4 days
  • (Presented as affecting overall results with other routines)
• Pillowcase hygiene:
  • Switch to silk/satin
  • Change every week or less
• Body moisturization:
  • Apply lotion within about 30 seconds after showering
• Acne spot-management:
  • Use pimple patches to reduce touching
• Additional unverified/unsafe supplements mentioned (not recommended by the speaker):
  • GHRP-6 and BPC-157
  • Speaker says do your own research and that they can’t recommend them
