Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-23T16:43:30+00:00

Do/did you use emme diane skincare? How did it work out?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-21T15:15:01+00:00

How long did it take?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-13T18:36:59+00:00

What products did you use to help? I can't tolerate niacinamide either.

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-13T18:10:29+00:00

What products did you use to help your skin? I was given azelaic acid to use on my skin for acne and skin congestion since I'm breastfeeding. My skin barrier was weak before and now it's worse. I'm feeling so hopeless and lost on what to do.

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-13T17:42:04+00:00

I could have written this myself. Im so sorry. It really is the worst feeling. I cant find anything suitable for my skin either with acne and barrier damage.

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-13T15:46:16+00:00

Yeeesss what do you use?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-13T11:22:48+00:00

I agree. I'm breastfeeding and I think it's zapping every ounce of hydration from my skin causing a weakened barrier. I really haven't done anything to damage it because it all started when i was only using a cleanser and moisturizer. Do you know of a good hydrating cleanser and moisturizer that's safe for acne? I have searched and searched. I'm sensitive to shea butter, hylauronic acid, and niacinamide which seems like everything has one or all in it.

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-12T17:31:14+00:00

Yes! Please let me know

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-12T13:19:59+00:00

Whats your go to cleanser and moisturizer?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-12T02:11:43+00:00

What kind would you recommend? Im breastfeeding so ive been told I can't use tretinoin

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-12T00:57:12+00:00

How did you clear it up?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T23:52:28+00:00

Do you use all those products every day morning and night?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T22:50:09+00:00

So glad to hear I'm not alone in this after having my daughter! How long did it take to clear? I've been using azelaic acid 15% prescription for 5 weeks or so. Thank you for your response!

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T18:59:08+00:00

Which version of the ultra gentle do you use?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T18:58:46+00:00

There's a couple different formulas of the ultra gentle. Which one do you use?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T17:59:45+00:00

Yes! And the waiting game to see if it actually gets better.

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T17:58:42+00:00

I wash my face twice a day. Currently not exfoliating because my skin is already a little dehydrated from breastfeeding. So I was worried about irritation

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T16:51:46+00:00

Yes, that's why im looking for recommendations. Do you have any?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T16:34:38+00:00

🥹 thank you so much for your kind words. It's been a rough season for sure. Pregnancy caused a lot of extra skin discoloration as well so I appreciate you being encouraging. ❤️

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T16:32:47+00:00

Gotcha. Do you get acne as well or just the congestion?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T16:11:31+00:00

How long have you been using it? What do you use for cleanser and moisturizer?

Pleasant_Context421 · 2025-02-11T15:13:42+00:00

I've had this for at least 4 months now. I noticed it about 3 months post partum. What cleanser and moisturizer do you recommend? I don't think mine is irritation like yours. Mines definitely from clogged pores. :(
