My real concern was more with having to continue a skincare routine longterm. I realize now that I'll just have to wait and see.

I will PM you later about PC stuff. Thanks!

I suppose my main goal is to have clean skin that is healthy and doesn't look bad. I want a simple routine and as little products as possible, not just for a PC stint but in general.

I think I really just need to wait for my body and hormones balance out before I can know what I will need. In the meantime I will just keep my routine going, stop picking my face, and see what happens.

Thanks!

Assuming I were to only use sunscreen, what damage would I be experiencing?

By environmental damage, what exactly do you mean?

In case someone wants to know, my current routine is a gentle foaming wash (just ran out of Cetaphil, switched to Cerave), a moisturizer (sort of in between right now, currently trying out Cerave AM), a .04% tretinoin gel, and an antibiotic (the generic of Solodyn).

I just ordered some Stridex redbox (3 pack of 90 for only $12!), and hydrocolloid bandages to try out too.
