Is your name really Maren? that’s my name too❤
Dr. Locke, I was wondering if you could do a video on the standard acne treatments w their formulas and how they have improved over the years. Like a “These are not your mother’s acne treatments” kinda thing. As a child of the 80s, I grew up in the Clean n Clear, Noxema, & Stridex era, where acne products w no guidance were marketed so heavily to teens. One of the biggest hurdles in getting control over acne in my late 20s w regard to otc products was learning to revisit and how to properly use them. Accepting that things like benzoyl peroxide & salicylic acid (and using them in 2015) were not going to dry out & destroy my face, like the stuff I used in the late 90s did. Most of it was user error (for example, I only apply spot treatments over moisturized skin now) & finding the right formula (which for me is no fragrance ever in actives). Could you basically make a video explaining why those of us who are older and use them won’t just have irritation and peeling? I think it would help a lot of people bc I swore off those ingredients for so long because of past fears. Might help to re-educate folks. Thanks always for your time and videos!
You laid this out beautifully, thank you! Really appreciate this. XX
Clindamycin is better than benzoyl peroxide also less irritating
is cerave a good brands?
