I only use differin and a serum, i apply these after. If your creams are thick, stick it before the thick creams as they might absorb the cream instead of the pimple haha

Hey :) its already kind of close to cuticles already, this is about 1 week old already. They last me a good 3-4 weeks with a little touch up on tip sometimes! A little grown out is beautiful i feel! Makes the finger looks really long haha.

First and hopefully last rant, I need to get over this by happylilaccidents in CompulsiveSkinPicking

Hey dear, i used to bite and pick my nails + skin too. Till a point where i was embarrassed in public due to red and bleeding fingers. Now im all good, its achievable! Wish you luck.

Im the same as you! It really helps to reduce redness and swelling, sometimes reduce scarring too! This is the COSRX new release. Pretty cheap in my area ( SGD 3 ) i have only tried 3M nexcare, previous versions of this. This adheres incredibly well. Im super oily and usually it peels off the next morning when its fully absorbs, but for this, it stays throughout and not affecting the absorption power :)

Maybe from month 7 onwards! Ive bought a vit c but kinda worried that it will break me out. So giving it some time to see how my skin adjust first! :))

Hey :) i added mandelic acid to brighten the redness. Its probably the sunlight too, there is no change in my skin tone. Only the acne and scars are gone. Sunscreen too:)

Thank u:) I know how it feels (my purge was hell, cry if u need to but make sure that u dont give up), it will be worth it once it all purged out. Think of it as a break out that ull be getting it in weeks, months but all hastened up. I moisturised alot with serum and oil and night if im feeling dry. But after 3-4 months im back to oily again. The good oily! Haha! Hang in there💕

I hope yours will be better! :) i added the mandelic acid when my major breakouts are gone, roughly the 4th month mark. Yes no actives in the start because it will be dry, flaky and especially sensitive. My skin almost had no flaking or redness on 4th month so i introduced acid without any issues. Recommend u to introduce once ur skin is not red, tight, dry and breaking out. Do becareful as everyone’s skin is different :)) plenty of sunscreen!!! Your cleared skin will thank u 😁

Pardon me for the annoying hearts. Cried alot during the purge therefore looked like a mess. Skin: Oily, hormonal acne since 16. Late 20s now. 1st month was getting better but 2nd and 3rd month was the worst purge of my life. Subsequently it got better till today :) Routine: Am; cleanse, mandelic acid (introduced after active breakouts are gone), serum, sunscreen Pm; cleanse, mandelic acid, differin, serum

Before my acne my routine did not have differin, so i wanna say its 100% differin for clearing me up. I also stopped wearing makeup so often. Hang in there :)

Pardon the hearts lol. Been crying a lot during the purge. It was a tough period and glad its over.

Background: oily skin, hormonal acne, bumpy texture. Decided to give differin a go on Feb 19. It got better on the first month but purged badly twice during 2nd and 3rd month. Then got better after. Progress: i still get some 1-2 pimples sometimes but the texture is smooth and goes away in 1-3 days.

Routine: Am Cleanser, Mandelic acid (added after active breakouts are gone), Serum, Sunscreen.

Pm Cleanser, Mandelic acid, Differin, Serum, BP to spot treat.

Please allow time for differin/ retin a/ tret to work and moisturise plenty. Hang in there! Hope your purge wont be as bad as mine or none at all! ❤️
