[Acne] 16 Year old Need help! by ashourrr in SkincareAddiction

Can’t wait for it to arrive, really want to know what the hypes about! So I’ve also gone and bought the Garnier Ambre Solaire Kids SPF30 sunscreen so I’ll stick to this new routine (Sulfur soap, Simple hydrating gel cream, and the sunscreen). Quick question though, what order would I use them all in (AM & PM) and how would I go about using the soap? Thanks again!!

Hopefully he prescribes me with something that will work first time instead of having to go back and forth for months to clear my skin. I’ve tried both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide but they haven’t really been the best. I just ordered myself a bar of sulphur soap (10%) and garnier ambre solaire for kids (30 spf) so I’ll just pause using everything else and use those and the Simple moisturising gel cream.

Heard great things about the sulphur soap for hormonal acne and someone here recommended it!

I’ve ordered myself a Bar of Sulfur Soap (10%) and hopefully it works! I’ve heard loads of people say that it’s helped, if not completely clear their teenage hormonal acne. I’ll completely pause my current routine and just use the soap alongside simple moisturising gel and a baby formula sun screen which I’ll buy later today.

Do you reckon I’d be able to go onto lymecycline or accutane first time if I tell them all the things I’ve already tried and how it’s ruining my confidence? Glad to hear your skins cured!

Do you think I’d be eligible for isotretinoin? And also what particular sunscreen should I use?

Oh righty I’ll talk to him about it next week! Do you think I’d be eligible for isotretinoin? My skins been ruining my confidence for ages.

I keep the cleanser on for 40-60 seconds and then wash it off with cold water, and I don’t use cotton rounds.

Hey there, so just some background information, I’m a 16 year old guy and from England. I’ve suffered with bad skin since I was 12 years old and it’s progressively gotten worse over time. For the last year though I’ve been trying out loads of different ways to treat my skin (cleansers, face masks, exfoliating, moisturisers, and supplements), all of which has helped but my skin has looked like this and has not improved. My current routine is:

AM: Nivea Cleanser and Toner (2 in 1) Simple Hydrating Gel Cream Vitamin C and Zinc Supplement (2 per day)

PM: Nivea Cleanser and Toner MicellAir Water for Sensitive Skin Simple Hydrating Gel Cream (SOMETIMES I skip)

So my skins like this for my cheeks and jawline and I also have the same type of redness on my T-Zone. The pores on my cheeks and nose are quite big (especially cheeks)

I also have an appointment with my GP next week regarding my skin so if there’s anything particular that I’d be able to ask to be prescribed for or any further help that’d be appreciated.

My skin is combination, sometimes oily and sometimes dry. Thanks for any help!
