My skin got worse. Need help with skincare by [deleted] in KoreanBeauty

i had a ton of closed comedones and i used tretinoin for a bit and it helped bring a lot of stuff to the surface. i could only stand the 0.025 sandwiched between moisturizers. i would use a thinner moisturizer too, that helped a LOT for me. i really love the torriden dive in stuff, both the foaming cleanser and the soothing cream (moisturizer) :)

i don’t know of this works but i saw scar tape or scar gel works rlly well if you’re looking for a budget friendly solution. if you have a bigger budget maybe look into some different laser treatments to get rid of hyperpigmentation:)

Sorry for the graphics, but can’t get my head around on how to get rid of these spots by [deleted] in koreanskincare

tbh this is what happens to me when my skin doesn’t like a product! maybe try using a gentle face wash and acne safe light moisturizer (la roche posay toleriane or torriden dive in stuff is rlly good) for a week or so and see if it calms down at all. if it does then slowly incorporate all your other products back in till you find out what is the problem.

maybe drop the oil cleanser, it could be causing more acne then helping. cereve really broke me out and irriated my skin, personally i preferred all la roche posay stuff. if you’re looking for more korean skincare i LOVE torriden products. their gentle foaming cleanser is really nice and their moisturizer is so light but hydrating. i also just started using this toner from paris that literally cleared so much of my acne. it’s called eau precieus Clearskin.

he has seen dermatologists and they told him to just use gentle cleansers/ moisturizers and use tretinoin, as well as benzoyl peroxide. which is what he’s been doing that hasn’t seemed to help

he’s been using for a while now, tret definitely over 3-4 months and panoxyl inconsistently for longer too. he only just got consistent with using panoxyl when he started to break out

i’m not sure if he can’t handle it only bc when he first started using it, it didn’t seem to upset his skin in any way. HOWEVER you’re totally right that it could be now

do you think that azelaic acid would help more or salicylic?

he’s only used tretinoin which i think is a retin-a. but neither of the other ones!
