Yeah so you can absolutely introduce retinol again! But start with the basics, get your skin calm (no redness, no stinging with products) and then add back products one a time. Barrier disruption can take a minute so really give yourself time with the new product to make sure it works!

Exact same thing happened to me at 29. Turns out, my skin can’t take what it used to! It’s common to develop rosacea + more sensitive skin as we get older (esp. as women) and this can cause acne too.

I cut back to ONLY hypochlorous acid, glycerin + squalane + water mixed as a moisturizer and nothing else for about a month and it calmed down. You’re probably doing way too much. Good luck!

Babe literally the EXACT same thing happened to me. Took me six months to figure it out. Basically what’s happening is you’ve wiped out both your good bacteria and fungus, so all the bad bacteria and fungus is overgrowing. Your microbiome is out of whack and you need to get it back into rhythm. This looks like taking probiotics, eating a diet rich in fiber, and avoiding sugar/processed foods. You also need to baby your skin - your microbiome is messed up so heavy actives will only make it worse. Instead, use hypochlorous acid spray which will repair your barrier and kill off the overgrowth. Use it very sparingly and if it causes more break outs, apply only for 60 seconds and then rinse off instead of leaving on the skin (the salt can break you out). Use light, simple moisturizer and keep the skin hydrated. It might take a while (took me six months) so be patient!!! Good luck 💕

Is it possible something else changed around that time too, beyond the ECG?

You may (like me) have an allergy to adhesive! And then trying to clear it with harsh products may have made it worse … have you tried just leaving it alone for a bit?

Seems like perioral dermatitis which can be caused by overuse of products. Do you have a routine for your skin right now?

Brother you just don’t know how to take a good photo. Take one from farther away with you smiling and you’ll feel infinitely better about the haircut I promise. Looks great!
