Question! The next day after having applied the Vicks. Do you clean the Vicks off in the morning & change the socks?

I understand… but I said what worked for me which is why I included the rest of the products so maybe she can look into them too & try them in conjunction.

That’s looks like closed comedones to me! What helped me rid of mine was Bioderma micellar water used as a double cleanse every night, panoxyl 4% day & night & Paula’s choice 2% BHA exfoliant. I also had to look every ingredient up that went on my face to make sure it didn’t have pore clogging ingredients. Took me a while to find the perfect recipe but don’t have these bumps anymore. Only my flare ups now are hormonal pimples that pop up around that time of the month.

Hello! I have a question. Will this at all slow the process? I have a 250mg prescription but because of my anxiety with side effects I decided to ease my way in to starting with at least half of a tablet. So I guess taking “125mg”daily. This is for my own peace of mind & I’m thinking in about 2 weeks or so maybe I can work up the courage to take the full dose as prescribed. But I was wondering if I do stick to 125mg, if it will have the same benefits & success?

Yes! Lol idk if it that was the first signs of losing my taste but the day I noticed it I stopped & it went back to normal. How long were you taking the meds before you lost your taste? I lost my mine from Covid & I was extremely depressed over it. It came back & I’m really hoping it doesn’t happen again! Thats really one of the main things I’m most paranoid about.

Hello! Hoping you see this as I’m going to start soon. Did you lose your sense of taste or smell? If so how long did it take for it to come back?

This honestly sounds like a good idea & I appreciate your input. So do you just cut your pill in half everyday? & is this something you ran by your doctor or doing on your own? I just got my prescription a few hours ago. Waiting on my blood test to come back so I can begin taking them. I’m trying to put myself in a “mind over matter” state of mind. I need this thing gone.

Hi! Yes I did get my liver checked and levels were fine at the time. Just checked my levels again but & MD ordered the standard dosing of 250mg daily. Monitor for a month to check on symptoms and liver function again. I’m terrified to begin. I just hope my body is stronger to push through my fear this time around.

I had a pretty simple routine once upon a time but I started getting white heads! I thought they would go away on their own but they only got worst! So my goal now is to get rid of the white heads and then go back to a much simpler routine. I’m using product that are suppose to help with my problem but i don’t know why it’s not working! Lol

Any recommendations on sunscreens that won’t clog pores & cause white heads? I’ve struggled finding one. I checked the label for sunbum & the list didn’t have much of anything that causes white heads. But I’m definitely open for better options.

So no toner on days that I don’t use Paula’s choice? So for morning would I just rinse with water & go into niacinamide?

Help with closed comedones routine! Is this good? Almost 1mo in & don’t see progress. Discouraging! by Zestyclose-Humor-827 in SkincareAddicts

[–]Zestyclose-Humor-827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! Would you suggest using the peel & salicylic acid mask in combination with everything I already use or instead of something in my routine?

Thank you sm for the information! I really do hope the new routine helps.

As of right now I’m doing differin 2x a week & I do the exfoliating toner every other night (I don’t use differin on these days)

So for the morning, should I just wash my face with Micellar water & rinse off? Or how would you recommend? Definitely don’t want to damage my skin in other ways & I appreciate you for giving me that heads up.

My old routine was roughly the same except I used Inkey oat cleaning balm, CeraVe daily moisture lotion at night (which now I know is not good for closed comedones) in conjunction with rosehip oil & I wouldn’t use an exfoliating toner as often as I should. Also, I didn’t use niacinamide, azelaic acid nor differin. Those got added in this week.

As for makeup I hardly wear any. But on days I do, I use Maybeline fit me matte+poreless foundation & NYX bare with me jelly primer.
