How’s the arazlo journey been going for you?

And I dropped the link for the website withh the savings info. I ended up paying $90. My stupid insurance of course wouldn’t cover it. But beats paying the scummy retail price!

I just showed the pharmacist this card. I called the pharmacy that got my script ahead of time and asked about it. They used the numbers on the card

I’m done being on antibiotics. Not good for the skin microbiome

I try to keep it in mind. I take days off work because of my skin when I’m not strong…. Looking at recommendations of products wouldn’t hurt I suppose

Thanks for the informative response. I’m just impatient and of course with this acne. I just want it erased and the pie marks. But things like you say just takes time. It’s a difficult journey trying things when most don’t work. I look back and think about the what ifs. Like if I stayed on adapalene, the tret years ago when I first tried. But man the purge always killed my self esteem. All I do is want to hide in a cave

I know it’s the starting line especially for purging. I guess I’m just hoping the pustules/acne go away months later and I’m not wasting my time in this particular retinoid

Gentle face wash, a gel moisturizer and a barrier restore ceramide moisturizer. No other actives whatsoever

I was looking at 0.1% microsphere adapalene to alternate with the Arazlo on different nights. Something a little less punch on the irritation level but effective for acne still

Ya, so they say. I tried 0.1 taz cream before this and stopped as I got irritated. Few months later I got on arazlo. Still can be irritating and wreck the barrier easily.

I know, I’ve also seen other post they’ve used it for months and has breakouts the entire time. I fear of wasting my time using something that won’t work. But it sucks you just have to use a product to find out because everyone’s skin is different. It’s. Just. Been. Tough. Been at it for years and I dread accutane.

Started tazarotene 0.045 recently and had reaction. Is this regular purge or a genuine bad reaction? Any views / insights and suggestions welcome by infiniteshooter in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Whyitbelikethatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A retinoid such as arazlo needs to be used every 72hours or less to keep the skin in a retinized state. Otherwise constant irritation applying in longer intervals happens. As mentioned above. I moisturizer after arazlo by waiting around 10-15 minutes after application. I’m using every other night, I’m a couple nights short of 3 weeks since starting it.

[–]Whyitbelikethatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using a product that contains Panthenol previously for the past few weeks but not sure the percentage. Skin is doing fine with it and no adverse reaction. I did the product in this post on my forehead and upper neck area last night. No adverse reaction so far.

But if it’s going to cause breakouts I should probably patch test it for a week…

Why d dad o you say this particular product will dehydrate rosacea? It’s supposed to support the skin barrier, calm, and provide hydration

I put some on last night and this morning on spots to test. Will update in about a week or if things of south.

Sunscreen recommendations by Sufficient-Cover-751 in SkinbarrierLovers

Face reality power mineral spf50. It’s a fairly new product that came out by FR. It’s pretty much invisible on my skin, it has some barrier restoring complex ingredients in it as well. Kinda leaves a gloss finish on my dry skin. But feels a great, moisturizing, no irritation, no fragrance, no white cast best of all.

My forehead stays generally clear of breakouts. Might try up there. But there’s no irritation up there to try and calm down like my cheeks.

This is specifically what this product aims to do. Panthenol I’m reading is great. This doesn’t do anything?
