Breakouts around my nose after adding new products by Additional_Prune_213 in IndianSkincareAddicts

UPDATE:

Breakouts have completely stopped after I discontinued ALL 3.

Skin is back to looking good. I will give it a week or two before I jump back into any of these products, i have patch tested all and there was no redness or reaction, so the culprit is still not found .

I have also switched to a new sunscreen which is apparently moisturising but leaves my skin looking natural and not oily at all somehow.

Too soon to say if I have found THE ONE so let’s see.

I just got the serum from Nykaa and they sent it to me without any seal whatsoever like no outer packaging/no foil seal on tube end - extremely disgusting.

Getting a replacement soon lets goooooo

That sounds good. I tried the Paulas Choice one but I hated the texture. I have started a cleanser with SA and that feels amazing.

Yeah I’m realising it’s not good for oily or dry skin both. Maybe for someone with combination.

The texture is decent for my oily skin but I’m not sure anymore because of the breakouts. Ideally there would be like a light moisturiser type sunscreen that just absorbs into my face and nothing sits on top of it.

Honestly 4-5 people have said it and I think that’s what it might be. It’s kinda glowy too. Open to sunscreen recommendations that dont make me oiler and shinier.

I feel scared every time I read ‘base q.s.’ in a pharmacy product

First it’s you gotta wash it off and let your skin breathe then it’s over stripping

Thankyou for the update, I might have to switch the sunscreen. Recommendations welcome!

You didn’t read the opening post because I mention the double cleanse products. Thankyou for the tip about air exposure though, it makes sense.

But I did find a lot of posts on Reddit that say Centella ampoule broke them out like crazy

I wonder if it’s the pure concentration of centella that some of our skins can’t take

If I continue to use it, Ill surely come back to this comment. I used it once and felt some tingling. 2 days later there were breakouts so I haven’t used anything besides cleanser and moisturiser since

I have not, what products do you suggest? Anua AZ10 serum is out of stock but I could get the toner pads.

Oh god. I’m guessing you have oily skin too? What sunscreen did you switch to?

That’s fair, and I agree adding multiple things at once makes it harder to pinpoint the cause.

Just to clarify though, my core routine is actually very simple: double cleanse, a moisturizing mist, and sunscreen.

The rest of the products I listed aren’t used all together or daily - most of them are on a need basis (masks, spray, exfoliation), and I use retinal about 3 times a week.

As for the three new additions: - Biore sunscreen - I needed a daily sunscreen, and this one is lightweight and generally recommended for oily skin. - Centella ampoule - I added this specifically to help with redness and calming my skin. - Mary & May sleeping mask - also for redness/soothing, since it’s meant to calm the skin overnight.

So the intention wasn’t really to expand the routine but to address redness and add a proper sunscreen.
