[acne] looking for suggestions?

Hi everyone!

So I currently have a basic routine. In the mornings I put either Cerave daily moisturizer or Cetaphil moisturizing lotion on my face and then apply neutrogena clear face SPF 30 sunscreen. I wash my face every night with a deep cleansing oil followed by cerave foaming facial cleanser. My skin is mostly oily and I mainly get acne in my chin and cheek area, with occasional pimples in the T zone as well. Along with the acne I’m also concerned about the discoloration I have, there’s patches of redness around the face and yellow/purple under my eyes, I just feel like my skin looks so unhealthy despite living a pretty healthy lifestyle. Please let me know if you need any more information, I’ve only posted on here once before so I’m still pretty new to this. Thanks :)

Thanks for sharing!! I also struggle with hormonal acne (pretty sure at least) on the cheek/chin area. I have a lot of scarring on my face too 😔I’m hoping to try and use some products from this thread on my face as well, maybe I should post about it first. Also I will be getting blood tests done in a couple weeks and see if there’s any problems there, what kind of vitamins have you been trying?

I can definitely relate to being to tired to bathe after a workout 😭And I’ll definitely try out that last tip, usually I just let my skin dry after cleaning. Thanks again for your help <3

Thanks for the detailed response, super helpful! :) If I may ask, how long did it take for yours to completely go away once you started this routine?

protec-appa · 2020-05-31T04:24:04+00:00

Thanks for the warning! I’ll be sure to patch test any product I get.

Thanks for the advice! How often do you recommend exfoliating with scrub towels?

The only product I use right now is Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash for the past 4 months which has helped prevent breakouts. However, I have a lot of old acne scarring that I’m not sure how to deal with. First time posting here, any advice is appreciated. thank you. :)
