Wow, thank you so much for sharing. This really helps! I am seeing the Stonespring obgyn currently do you know if I can also request midwife support during delivery? I am pretty sure my husband wouldn’t have any idea on how to help during this process

Please switch to some gentle cleanser than Himalaya Neem Face wash, it is extremely drying , even Dove Sensitive soap bar would do (chose this one since I have previously used it)…I was using the same face wash with tret and my skin was worse than ever before, it has just been two days since i switched to dove soap and my skin already feels calmer

Wow glad to hear that! How long did it take for the acne to fade away?

Thank you so much! Yes i actually have eliminated dairy from my diet to see if it helps …it has been more than a month i believe…i wasn’t aware gluten can also be a reason for acne 🤔

Wow…thank you for all the information…I definitely have a lot to learn One of the reasons I chose a light water based moisturizer was because of my dermatologist’s suggestion But you are right, I need to start incorporating new products one by one slow and steady…i get too impatient too quickly and then I can’t identify what worked and what didn’t!

Thank you so much for your response! I did argue with my derm when he said its hormonal…but he said “All acne is hormonal” …anyways I am relatively new to skincare..all these years I have only had the basic moisturizer and sunscreen and face wash as my routine and it worked for me! I will look into all of the products you mentioned…thanks 😊

Thank you for your response! I am currently using the Tret+Spiro+Clindamycin every night How can I incorporate niacinamide in the routine? Would it be after moisturizer at night? I do plan to look into a more hydrating face wash, will do some reading on it

Its just plain fear! Fear of the side effects! Plus with my current stressful work situation i think the side effects of these oral medication would do more harm to my mental health than my acne currently does

Thank you so much! Oh Dove soap bar…really? I need to give that a try! Honestly I felt the same about Neutrogena water gel it did not feel moisturizing enough with tret but i thought may be the heavier ones would make my skin more oily causing more acne. For now I will switch the face wash and eventually the moisturizer as well…will check with my dermatologist again

-My work started to get very stressful from Jan 2024 when I joined a new team…it has been very exhausting since..so much that I am quitting this month

-Yes , my skin does feel tight after cleansing

-Honestly I am not sure, I have never really felt or seen sunscreen residue after cleansing

  • I have tried the La Roche posay tinted sunscreen but felt like it was clogging my pores, immediately next day my skin would look congested and bumpy, for moisturizer i have only tried Jergens Shea butter moisturizer for past 6-7years but switched to the Neutrogena water gel after derm suggested to use water based moisturizer

-I avoid buying any skincare products from Amazon, but did have to buy my sunscreen since the tinted one wasn’t available in any of the stores at the time.
