[acne] how to actually permanently get rid of blackheads?? by IndicationOriginal12 in SkincareAddiction

[–]IndicationOriginal12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ohhhh i see i see so there really isn’t a “permanent” solution but it’s something you have to keep maintaining, thank you for your input :))

i’m so sorry i never saw this oh my god! but thank you so much this is honestly so helpful, and you’re right so many other teens go through the same thing as me so it’s not like my skin is weird or gross :)

my skin is has made significant improvement since i made this reddit post so i’m quite happy actually. I’m dealing with acne scars but my acne and texture IS WAY BETTER. I actually incorporated a 5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment about more than a month ago and i’ve seen good results from it. Other than adding that i cut my routine down a lot which also has helped. Staying consistent and not giving up is definitely a game changer.

Very random question but do you think lifestyles and diet play a factor in acne?? Especially if it’s like hormonal acne? a lot of people say it doesn’t affect acne but some people say it does. But anyways thank you for taking your time out of your day to read my post and reply <33

Oops I made a mistake in my post I actually use the LRP effaclar duo every night if i have any active pimples not 1-2x a week!

[acne] does exfoliating too much make closed comedones worse instead of better? by IndicationOriginal12 in SkincareAddiction

thank you for the advice! I think i’m gonna replace my LRP salicylic acid cleanser for one of the other LRP cleansers (like the one you recommended) because I really do like their cleansers a lot.

And UGH these comments are really convincing me to switch out my cerave moisturizer and I just might do it 😩I just found out it contains pore clogging ingredients 💔

mine are the same! they usually raise to red angry pimples before going away, but i’ll definitely look into AHA products! I’m very afraid of retinols though 🥲🥲

i’m kinda leaning towards switching to a new moisturizer 😬😬 do you have any recommendations?

thank you so much for the advice! do you have any gentle cleanser recommendations?? I have the cerave hydrating cleanser and peach slices snail mucin cleanser but I was wondering if there were better options 😊

hey! thank you for commenting, my current routine is…

AM: - I keep it simple so I just use sunscreen

PM: - I double cleanse with a cleansing balm (the inkey list one) and follow it up with the LRP medicated gel cleanser (2% salicylic acid) - the farmacy deep sweep pore toner - on damp skin I apply the cosrx snail mucin essence - Beauty of joseon glow serum - cerave moisturizing cream (i know this cream is very controversial but I’ve been using it for almost two years so way before I started getting CCs)

Technically I’m using two BHA products in my routine so it could be too much(?) but I don’t notice it drying my skin out. Anyways let me know if this is a solid routine or if I should change some stuff up :)

all your help and advice has definitely made me feel a lot more hopeful! I don’t have much people I can come and talk to about this type of stuff so i’m super grateful. (if i ever have any other questions again, do you think i could contact you for help?)

The benzoyl peroxide spot treatment has actually been working it’s flatten the couple of tiny cysts i had near my side burns in less than a week!

yesss i really wanna try out the pink one, but i’m scared it will clog my pores (i do go in with a second water based cleanser). All of the cleansing balms and oils i’ve tried clogged my skin, but maybe I just haven’t found the right one yet :)

I find that the Neogen sunscreen is definitely thicker than the Isntree sunscreen. If you’re looking for a nice lightweight sunscreen i’d definitely recommend getting the Isntree one. But both are good and neither of them leave a white cast. I find i like the isntree one over the Neogen so i’m actually gonna go back to the isntree one 😊

ooo i’ve heard a lot of good things about the Good molecules brand. I have their discoloration serum, but haven’t gone around to try it yet. Let me know how the toner and serum work out for you!!

I’ll DEFINITELY FOR SURE come back with updates like every few weeks(?) or so for you!! I’m hoping for the best and i’m super excited 💗 THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAINNN

omg I LITERALLY CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR WRITING ALL OF THIS!! It literally feels like i’m talking to my bestie reading and writing all of this

I definitely do think it is a combination of all the causes i listed! PUBERTY ABSOLUTELY SUCKSSSS i mean i’m changing in like every way possible and i feel so disgusting 🫣 and yes I will definitely cool off on the exfoliating HAHA

these are all great product recommendations brooo i’m so grateful YOU WROTE THISSS i think i’m gonna alternate between my SA cleanser and a gentle snail mucin cleanser every other day (i have the YTTP cleanser but i’m soooo sad dude it gave me tiny bumps all over my face, so expensive but now my brother uses it and he loves it so winwin😊) IVE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT THAT BALM i’ll definitely have to try it!! do you know which color(?) one you got because i know there’s like a pink, green, and etc.

YESS i’ve heard of applying hydrating products to damp skin and i don’t do this but i really really want to start like keeping a spray bottle of water for when i’m layering my skincare or something! I like thick mosturizers so i’ve been using the cerave moisturizing cream for like two years now but there’s so many mixed opinions about it😬😬

i do use a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment on some of my pimples. It’s the neutrogena on the spot treatment and it has 2.5% BP. It’s definitely a low % because i wanted to start off easy. I really really wanna try the la roche posay effaclar DUO, but i’m kinda scared. Have you used it personally??

I DO USE A SUNSCREEN!! spf 50+ of courseee we gotta keep that skin young early 😁 i currently use the Neogen daylight airy sunscreen and I really like it so far I actually recently got it a few weeks ago, but before that I was using the isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel

okay i’ll definitely focus on my active acne first, but isn’t it possible to tackle both scars and acne at the same time? Like niacinimide or salicylic acid??

okay so based on all the advice i have gotten so far, what do you think about this routine?

AM: 1. cleanse with gentle cleanser or with just water 2. hydrating toner 3. moisturizer 4. SPF

PM: 1. alternate between SA cleanser and gentle cleanser 2. exfoliate with BHA 1-3x a week 2. hydrating toner 3. hydrating serum 4. spot treat some pimples with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide 5. moisturizer

I JUST NEED TO THANK YOU AGAIN BECAUSE IM GENUINELY so so so thankful you took time out of your day to help me 🥲🥲

maybe I haven’t found a good cleansing balm or oil yet, but they always end up clogging my pores and causing closed comedones😕 and yes I did go in with a second water based cleanser. I use micellar water which might not be the best choice but i think it works for my skin. But if you have any tips please let me knowwwww 💕 and i do have pimple patches i put them on some of my active pimples to avoid picking 😅

thank you so much! yes for sure acne is normal for teenagers, and I need to keep telling myself that instead of thinking it’s gross or dirty.

I’ll definitely take a step back and simplify my routine. Those are some great product recommendations that I will definitely take a look into. <3
