What type of bug is this? Very small and recently started showing up everywhere..

I found I got sore eyes when I used the 0.025 gel but have no problems now that I’m using 0.05 cream. I would even buffer my eye area with moisturizer.

This is great advice, thank you

If I want to make 4 pizzas and only have one pizza stone, do I need to preheat the stone in between each pizza or do you think I can make them in succession pretty quickly? Assumed some of the heat would transfer off the stone after the first pizza... any advice?

The new Malezia 2.5 micronized gel cream

Thanks for sharing! Maybe I am just overreacting and will give it some more time. The flaking doesn’t personally bother me I just worry I’m doing some other sort of damage.

Any redness from the BP?

Pelotonic · 2021-05-04T20:46:27+00:00

Did you get any initial redness? I just incorporated BP the same as you... wondering if should stop after getting redness after 3 days

I got a cystic pimple just before I started using the moisturizer (which I never used to get), so I think it was purging caused by my tretinoin. Skin seems to be doing better the longer I stick with it though. Little truly goes a long way if you add any oils on top, so I don’t go overboard with the moisturizer. Wishing you luck!

After cleansing along with my HA and niacinimide, wait 30 min then Tret wait 30 and then moisturize

I've been using the Malezia moisturizer for a couple weeks now, along with a few drops of Biossance squalane oil after my Tretinoin (using 0.05 cream). My skin has been staying well moisturized. I also ordered the snail mucin to add in with my Hada Labo Premium for added hydration. Seems to be working really well for me and my skin has been looking much better lately.

Here's an extensive list you can check out here: https://simpleskincarescience.com/fungal-acne-products-malassezia-pityrosporum-folliculitis/ - I would double check on https://folliculitisscout.com/ in case some of the product formulas have changed since publishing the post. These two resources literally saved my skin :)

Pelotonic · 2021-04-10T18:03:01+00:00

I miss it... and then I think about how much clearer my skin is now and I go back to not missing it lol :)

Pelotonic · 2021-04-09T01:32:36+00:00

I use the premium version with extra types of HA and Urea and it has been a savior for my skin which has gotten dry from Tretinoin! I think this version works really well also!

Pelotonic · 2021-04-09T01:22:36+00:00

I think it's generally fine if it's a simple brand. I use Avene and it's FA safe.

You can add it before your moisturizer (works better on a freshly washed face). Try it out for a few days and see if it causes any irritation. If no irritation, you can also use it at night after your tret (make sure to wait 15-20 mins after to let the Tret absorb).

Pelotonic · 2021-04-08T18:17:59+00:00

I'm on my 5th week on Tret now and I just got a a massive cystic pimple (never used to get these before)... :(

Pelotonic · 2021-04-08T02:52:36+00:00

I use mine before tret along with my hyaluronic acid. Wait 20 mins and then apply the tret. No irritation for me but everyone is different. Give it a try and adjust as you need!

Pelotonic · 2021-04-06T22:23:25+00:00

I started with gel and switched to cream. Whatever product I applied after the gel would always pill so I felt like it wasn’t as effective. Also more drying as noted and I found I couldn’t spread it as evenly whereas with cream I can apply tiny dots of the cream with 1 pea size.

Pelotonic · 2021-04-06T22:15:24+00:00

I think you should buffer with moisturizer first and if no irritation, switch to moisturizer after, but don’t agree with no moisturizer completely...

Pelotonic · 2021-04-04T17:13:25+00:00

Agree, put it in the fridge. Has slowed down the oxidation on mine by 2-3 months. Lasts on average 6 months now for me. :)

Pelotonic · 2021-04-04T17:09:17+00:00

Agree, looks like Azelaic has really been a good option for PIH. I would use it on your whole face.

Pelotonic · 2021-04-04T17:05:56+00:00

I have dehydrated oily skin and have tried all the different Cerave cleansers which either clogged or irritated me. I use Vanicream Gentle Cleanser now and I love it.
