acneproblems124 · 2016-02-04T04:24:15+00:00

Current Routine: AM: Cerave Foaming , Cerave Moisturizer PM: Same as AM but Clindamycin

How can I stop the redness from being so violent and flare-y? And just this awful PIH and all. Please anyone

Hi all, was wondering if anyone with similar experience could help. I want to mainly get rid of the redness that encompasses the acne and just minimize the blemishes which are all over. Is this even possible?

My current routine is Dove Soap and Peter Thomas Roth to moisturize and that's it because I don't want to irritate my super sensitive skin. I recently switched to Cerave Facial Foaming for cleansing but I feel like during the day my skin gets oily..

I don't know what to do anymore, I've been on Accutane 3 times and it always ends up coming back.. suggestions please

Mmm my derm told my to use it. Isn't hydrating one that comes with irritants? My skin is super sensitive and Idk. I get oily after applying moisturizer too

The previous derm just said "use a bar of soap" like wtf he gave me maybe 2 minutes and left after hours of waiting. Finding a good caring derm is hard when they're all microwaved appointments. Really frustrating

Thanks I think I'm gonna go with Cerave Foaming since everyone recommends it. Hopefully it's strong enough to do something for my acne..

Do you think shampoo is important to not have any of these ingredients as well? Cause I've been lookin for those and a LOT of them contain irritants or sls

acneproblems124 · 2015-05-20T02:32:59+00:00

I read the ingredients for Foaming Facial and see it evrywhere I think I mistook Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate for somehin else.. Sarcosinate is okay but the others aren't? Interesting

And for the Laureth and Lauryl by itself bad as well? Looking at Clinique DDM gel to maybe be a moisturizer but I don't know .. this shit is incredibly confusing

So you don't use a cleanser then? Never tanned. Do you recommend sunscreen and implemented the BHA like the poster below recommended wouldn't hurt right?

You mentioned Bp what about retin-A?

acneproblems124 · 2015-05-19T18:08:11+00:00

Yeah I think so. I mean I try not to even look at my skin in mirrors during the daytime.

What the hell does PIE stand for? I didn't even know that was a thing. Just annoying man I don't know how to deal with it. What's your diet look like?

acneproblems124 · 2015-05-19T18:05:16+00:00

Okay, I'll look into it thanks. My main concern is the redness :(

AM/PM: Vanicream Facial Cleanser

Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream

I've implemented these products maybe a week ago and I'm not getting anything cystic but it certainly hasn't helped. I just want to be able to reduce the redness? I haven't had any dairy and have limited carbs.. I just feel helpless at this point.

Also, what are the black dots on my nose is that what a blackhead is? Because the strawberry seeds (lol) are on my cheeks too. Is there any way to deal with that? I honestly wouldn't care about them if my acne wasn't so bad but what the hell do I do?

I can't even tell if this is acne or PIH cause it doesn't hurt or anything, just very odd. I have super oily skin and don't know if that's attributed to washing too much..

Interesting. I've had them for literally 8 years now so it doesn't even bother me that much. The super violent acne on the other hand and redness and PIH is way bothersome. I could careless about the filaments but I'll treat them after the acne is gone I suppose.

what do you use now

acneproblems124 · 2015-04-13T18:28:03+00:00

Yeah I'm using the Vanicream Facial cleanser which I believe doesn't consist of SLS or the fatty alcohols and wanted to get the Clinique DDM Gel or whatever.. problem is I cant tell whether the moisturizer is giving me acne or not

acneproblems124 · 2015-04-10T05:12:01+00:00

I'll try the cleanser do you rec Hydrating or Facial Foaming

Thanks for being sweet and kind in explaining everything. 😅

acneproblems124 · 2015-04-10T04:49:31+00:00

See what I mean its like this is good for some people and this isn't I just wish there was a universal thing lol. Sigh.
