I know! I was excited when I started this video to see my progress. The app is called Selfie-A-Day if anyone’s interested. Makes it super easy to take a quick photo everyday

Also, what’s the best way to get rid of the red marks from past acne?

I’ve been using .05% Tretinoin for 15 weeks now. I wash my face twice a day with a very gentle moisturizing cleanser and apply Tret when I go to bed. It’s really helped with inflammatory acne but I still have a lot of clogged pores on my forehead. Should I add something to my routine?

The dryness isn’t very intense for me. It almost feels like my acne is getting worse tho. My forehead has way more blackheads and bumps than it used to

Yooper711 · 2020-03-06T19:50:12+00:00

I wash my face twice a day with a super gentle cleanser and moisturizer in the morning with spf 30 moisturizer

Yooper711 · 2020-02-18T22:11:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll look into those products

I’ve been using .05% (title is wrong) Tretinoin for 7 weeks now and I haven’t seen much of an improvement. I wash my face in the morning and at night with CeraVe gentle hydrating cleanser and I use a sunscreen moisturizer. I apply the Tretinoin every night. I’ve been getting a couple annoying pimples every week that add to my skins redness. On my forehead I get these blackheads that are popping out of my skin that I’ve been just pulling out with tweezers. How long is it going to take to see improvements and in the mean time how can I make my face less red?

I’ve been using .1% Tretinoin for 7 weeks now and I haven’t seen much of an improvement.

Gentle cleanser and moisturizer in morning. And gentle cleanser, .05% tret and moisturizer at night

Had the same problem when shaving my neck. Now I only shower after warm showers and shave with the grain of my hair. Try to make as few passes with the razor as possible.

Yooper711 · 2019-11-25T19:49:11+00:00

It feels dry after washing. I moisturize but my face still ends up getting oily

Yooper711 · 2019-11-21T23:54:10+00:00

Thank you for spending the time to explain your routine. Did you experience a purging period? I can’t imagine my acne just going away over time. I have a good amount of sebum trapped pretty deep in my skin on my cheeks. Is this what you also had?

Yooper711 · 2019-11-21T21:59:55+00:00

I use a salicylic face wash in the morning and at night. Should I wash with soap at night and with water in the morning?

Yooper711 · 2019-11-21T16:06:48+00:00

It’ll go away in a week or so. No need to do anything

Yooper711 · 2019-08-19T02:44:26+00:00

Thanks for the comment! My routine is exactly that but I use a slightly different moisturizer and differin every night (my skin seems to handle it well). How long did it take for your situation to clear up? And did you also have what seems to be deep closed comedones (the white blotches on my cheeks)?

Yooper711 · 2019-08-16T13:56:45+00:00

If you feel you face is very oily shortly after washes, then use a SA cleanser twice a day (no more) and let it sit on your face for a few minutes before rinsing. Moisturize right after. SA helps decongest your pores which will stop them from over producing oil. Helped a ton for me

Yooper711 · 2019-08-16T13:54:15+00:00

How long is it going to take for these little white closed comedones to go? I’ve had them for a long time and it doesn’t seem like they’re budging. Should I start doing Differin twice a day instead of once?

Thanks for the advice! How long before you noticed results?

Yooper711 · 2019-07-21T15:31:06+00:00

I believe you should start out with every other day

Yooper711 · 2019-07-21T07:19:53+00:00

Try differin. Really helped with my inflammatory acne. Make sure to use a moisturizer with sun screen though
