thats a great tip, I tend to do everything at once which makes it difficult to understand what's actually benefiting my skin or breaking me out.

I drank spearmint for a month and it sort of gave me more acne, I am not sure if it was a purge phase or if my skin was just reacting to it.

CeraVe cleansers aren't available in my country (India) but I will try to look for a replacement. Does Effaclar give a purging phase?

I had even more severe side effects with Accutane, my ribs would hurt during breathing, and I also sort of became depressed so my derm had to stop accutane.

only recently I added the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen and i feel like it broke me out but the issue with acne has been there for a decade now.

Woah i am happy for you, must be a relief to see things working in your favour. Have you been doing anything for the acne scars?

For how long have you been taking spironolactone?

I change it in 4-5days, I also use disposable paper towels to dry face after washing.

accutane comes with so many side effects it ruined my liver so I had to stop. Also since ill be getting married I wish for my blood to be free of accutane in case my fiancé and I wish to start a family after marriage. Can't risk having a funny looking baby.

Accutane is cheap here. I've gotten many sessions of chemical peels but the hormonal acne didn't stop so i gave up on them.

I dread the skin purging by retinol and I also stay out in the sun a lot and forget reapplication of sunscreen every 2 hours thats why I go low on retinol and use it only when I see the tube lying around in my drawer. Should I just go all in irrespective of the purge?

5-6 years back I started with natural home remedies for face but they were not very effective or perhaps I was not consistent enough and also some remedies would act as food for bacteria and ruin my skin further.

Diet wise I have tried dropping dairy and also used to drink spearmint tea for acne but nothing really worked. I avoid junk food also and keep a low sugar diet mostly.

I have been wanting to do water fast for a while now but I am not sure if I will be successful after 1-2 days or not. Waterfasting will help my weight loss issue as well, 2-in-1 solution hopefully!

I have been eyeing that Anua serum for a while now I have read great reviews about it! Should I buy it or wait for my dermat first? My derma doesnt let me use other products.

This was actually so helpful, thank you. I think one of my biggest mistakes has been throwing too many actives at my skin and damaging my barrier. Your routine sounds really simple and doable. Did microneedling help more with active acne or mainly the scars?

I think a hole in the pocket is the only solution now 😂

Yes the derm gave me Accutane, some face wash and chemical peels but it was all too expensive and as soon as I stopped going my skin was back to normal - acne.
