What does one do when jumping on Zoom with the world’s favorite dermatologist? They takes notes, of course! To mark the upcoming launch of the new Breakout Clearing Gel<\/a>, we spoke with Dr. Dennis Gross, skin expert and founder of his eponymous skincare line (stocked in Australia at Mecca Cosmetica<\/a>). From mask-ne to the mythology of spot treating pimples, below you’ll find 15 pieces of advice from Dr. Gross himself (thank us later).<\/p>\n

READ: LESSONS IN GOOD SKIN: A SCIENTIST BREAKS DOWN EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT ACNE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There are four reasons why acne typically occurs: blocked oil glands, abnormal oil flow, bacteria (p-acne bacteria) and inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spot treating is a myth. The acne you see today started a few weeks ago, so to spot treat means you failed to prevent it. You want to treat all the acne-prone areas on your face consistently, not just when a spot appears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use oil-free moisturizers on acne-prone skin, always.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dr. Dennis Gross Breakout Clearing Gel can be used daily to prevent mask-ne – just apply in that area daily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acne at that time of the month is due to the hormonal Effect on the oil gland – oil flow becomes heavier, resulting in blocked pores.<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of product order, you should cleanse, peel, treat and then moisturize! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Dr. Dennis Gross Breakout Clearing Gel is best used on clean skin once a day, preferably nighttime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over-eating sugar causes glycation in the skin – so the skin is compromised in terms of circulation and nutrition availability. In terms of acne specifically, there’s no data to say there’s a direct link between sugar and breakouts. But there’s just so many incidences where clients of mine experience better skin when they cut out excess sugar, so I often encourage it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue LED light is proven to kill acne-causing bacteria without causing irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red LED light builds collagen but also reduces inflammation (so redness and swelling).<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason people get acne scars is because it destroys collagen and permanently damages the skin. LED is a great way to reduce this inflammation so the skin is less likely to scar or mark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re using an at-home LED light use it first on clean skin so that the light can penetrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Alpha Beta Peel + Breakout Clearing Gel is like an acne one-two punch. It treats existing blemishes and prevents all four acne causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t use toners in excess – many don’t serve a great purpose. They can throw the skin off balance and dry the skin out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can overtreat blemish-prone skin – it’s important to be careful. The two-step Alpha Beta peel is great because it neutralizes the acids applied – it’s a controlled exfoliation! Other acids are uncontrolled and this can aggravate acne further.<\/span><\/p>\n
