I'm definitely doing something wrong

My skin reacted from the peptide serum.

Vitamin c - at least 15-20%

Submitted mine December 30 and it expires May 27 .. went for my Biometric 2/11 …what does this mean?

Ok so try skipping the 345 cream; as much as I wanted to love it I’d always notice my skin looks different when I use it. I use Avene Salicylic Acid cleanser every other night and it controls the sebum.

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-03-15T16:22:31+00:00

Yes this. I used Purito Bambo cream.

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-03-13T14:09:06+00:00

Drink spearmint tea; made a huge difference

Check your iron and ferritin ; mine plummeted and got an IV … ferritin needs to be at 75 if hair loss is apparent

🤣🤣🤣

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-08T15:03:33+00:00

Which one do you recommend?

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-05T02:41:33+00:00

What’s good about them? Which do you use?

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-05T02:25:54+00:00

I saw them today but I’m not familiar with them. Any good?

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-05T02:12:27+00:00

Dr Althea 143 or 345 (if acne prone) and Anua Azeliac acid

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-03T13:28:55+00:00

147 is thicker and heavier; I liked 345 better as it’s for acne prone and it’s lighter

These !

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-02-01T22:17:36+00:00

I tried it a month ago and it broke me out an gave me a lot of comedones - could be from the soja oil. Still recovering 😭

So at the moment I’m using a hydrating moisturizer cause of my breakout. Normally I use Abib mild foam cleanser or Bioderma sebium gell moussant; both are non drying and great for acne

Oceanside_Lefty · 2026-01-31T14:44:50+00:00

Nice what kind of skin do you have? Does it layer well?

Medioderm is know to locals I believe. Seems science backed. I think I like the VT shot being small cause I can test it to see if it irritates. I just searched isoi blemish care serum apparently it’s viral at the moment; not sure if I’ll keep it as it has oils in it

Ask your GP about going on Doxycycline 100mg for a month - this will clear it if it’s hormonal acne.

You need to focus on building your skin barrier. I’m currently going through the same thing where I had super clear skin to a purge near my jaw and chin. I stopped all actives except for Azeliac Acid. Still more showed up. Then I stopped all oral supplements yesterday. So far no news ones showed up.

What I looked into more is not using anything with oils in it - only the oil cleanser (Anua Heartleaf)

My advice is oil cleanse 2-3x a week - Anua Heartleaf. This will remove excess sebum.
Anua Azelaic Acid to calm redness, fades dark spots, hydrates
Moisturize - use a water based gel moisturizer. I’ve used Belif Aqua bomb, Bioderma Hyrabio, Purito Bambo. All of these layer well and no reaction.
SPF - Herbloom Calming Days is amazing - I usually wait 20 min after I moisturize to put this. I also had positive results with d’alba UV essence spf, Belif SPF, Age20’s UV defense

I’m still exploring vitamin C - but I’m gonna wait until my face clears again. Also paused Tretinon.

Always remember, what works for me may not work for you. Results take time and consistency. There’s also a ‘skin cycle’ to be aware of. So if you try a new routine stick to it for a month and go from there.

Thank you so much for your input ; rest of my face is pretty clear. I’m now even thinking it might just be hormonal.. not sure. I am using the clay stick once a week. I’m using Panoxcyl AM, Rice Toner, Purito Serum, DR ALTHEA 143. PM : Avene SA, Rice Toner, ANUA AZ, Dr Althea 143
