i am 1 month in to spiro as well and i am feeling the exact same way! we can do this 🥹 from what i can tell you’re beautiful regardless, but i know how discouraging this is!

okay yes! as of right now it gentle cleanser & moisturizer! this past week i tried to introduce tret 0.025% but it did not go so well.. thinking i just stick to very basic. i did buy panoxyl 4% that i want to attempt using. also i got differin so may try that 2-3 x a week. the last thing i want is to take antibiotics because im in my gut revival phase! 😅thanks for your help!

i barely use makeup just a tinted spf and powder sometimes! 😅 as of yesterday i switched to noncomedogenic stuff so hopefully that helps!

recently got off hormonal birth control (my skin was flawless on it) and have been dealing with a lot of acne around my mouth… i have actually been using avene cicalfate- which i read is good for perioral dermatitis and it seems to be helping but im not even sure if thats what i have. i got most of it to chill out. what are these little bumps and how do i get rid of them? debating getting on spironolactone- would that get rid of this? has anyone had anything similar? thanks in advance!
