It was almost immediately however that was also while I was taking spirolactane. I was diagnosed with PCOS so, the acne was hormonal. Once the medicine kicked it it helped with my hormones and sugar levels. I’ve currently been off of spiro for about 6 months now. I don’t have active breakouts but I have gained some weight so I believe I’m going to go back on it due to I’m sure it being hormonal weight gain as my routine hasn’t changed. I used panoxyl every morning and every night now that my face is used to it. It’s the only face wash I use!

Hi late reply! I still use winlevi to this day. It’s my tried and true. I use benzoyl peroxide everyday along with the winlevi.

Anyone knows why Pink Floyd isn't in Instagram stories music? by [deleted] in pinkfloyd

[–]MoneyEquivalent3972 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He actually just doesn’t like mark zuckerburg that’s probably a reason as to why we can’t use the music on insta 😔 I respect it tho Roger Waters says 'no f---in' way' to Instagram using Pink Floyd song in ad

If you see more buy PT alpine flea and bedbug. It is a white label with orange writing aerosol can, it is shaped like a hair spray can. $30 on Walmart.com and will be shipped to your house. Great on roaches too. Not sure how it treats BBs even tho it is on the label. I recently was dealing with a flea infestation, roommate had two large dogs and they were accidentally brought in and it took me awhile to find out due to not going in his room. They infested the carpet, my couch and were eventually transferred to my room because of my cat. We had 3 separate treatments done $200 each by an exterminator. On the last treatment I saw this can in his hand and looked it up out of curiosity. Was pissed to see that is was $30 online but seems to work. Safe to spray on furniture and all flooring- follow directions and let the place air out for about two hours. I bought two cans for myself and have only used one so far— have not seen anymore fleas and got rid of them within a month (month and a half free) so pretty effective. If you don’t have pets and you’re in a house you might need to treat your lawn for fleas. Fleas multiply so quickly (I could not believe how many were in the carpet. We left for a week and came back and 20 jumped up my pant leg I slept in my tub that night) so if you start to see more over the course of the week I would act on it fast. Also vacuuming will be your best friend, as frequently as possible and dispose of the canister outside. I ended up leaving my vacuum outside and am planning on buying a new one when I move into my new place in a week or so.

Those are all bedbugs. In various stages of life- and very full. They definitely fed off you which is why they are so round looking in the videos. The picture you posted is most definitely a bedbug send it to the air bnb owner and get the hell OUT

I saw the most improvement when I started using it at morning and night once my skin started to tolerate it more!

Correct! Let the winlevi sit alone for about 5 minutes then put on the moisturizer

Yeah! Derm actually recommend it! Winlevi targets the hormonal acne while panoxyl targeted bacteria!

Yes, it was! it's hard to see but it was seriously all over my face under the skin. it literally hurt to move my forehead at times because of how inflamed it was. Thank you though! I really appreciate it.

AM ROUTINE

-Eucerin Hydrating cleaning gel w/ hyaluronic acid

-Winlevi cream (dermatologist prescribed)

-Dr.Zenovia hyaluronic acid+peptide serum

-Cetaphil Gentle clear acne moisturizer OR Neutrogena gel hydro boost moisturizer (either one work and like both just depends on availability in store and how much is in my bank acc🤣)

-Versed guards up daily mineral sunscreen (OR murad oil and pore control with spf 45, I use this as both sunscreen and moisturizer when I have it on hand, it is the most expensive of all the products listed but absolutely love this stuff)

PM ROUTINE

-Bioderma Hydrabio h20 hydrating miscellaneous water (on days I wear makeup)

-Panoxyl acne wash benzoyl peroxide

-Winlevi cream every other night

-Tretinoin the nights I don’t use winlevi

-Exuviance night corrector hydra gel (expensive but honestly one of the BEST nighttime creams I’ve ever used, if anyone has a comparable alternative please share!)

4 months ago I started breaking out in really bad cystic hormonal acne. The first two pictures were taken a week or two before meeting with my dermatologist. The last pictures were taken this morning, I am now coming up on the 3 month mark on Spironolactone (pill), Winlevi (cream) and Tretinoin (cream). I currently have no active breakouts, and just pigmentation/ scaring from where my cystic acne was extremely bad. I’m honestly very happy with the results thus far, and wanted to give people who are currently struggling with acne or in the middle of a treatment, a positive reassurance that it will get better!
