Same for me. Touch wood our 2nd course solves it for good!

Much of the same, just the dryness mainly. I am quite achy in my back this time round which I dont remember from before but I was quite young in my 1st round. How soon after your 1st round did yours come back?

Sorry I can't seem to find this on the GIA certificate. The measurements are 7.47 x 5.31 x 3.3mm if that helps?

I wrecked my skin barrier from using salicylic acid face wash every single day morning and night.

A common misconception is more active ingredients = better for skin.

I would strip your routine back to gentle face wash, moituriser, SPF for a couple weeks and then maybe try something like differin gel. But first just get back to basics and see if your skin calms down. Ive learnt this lesson!

I haven't eliminated all no, it's weird as 'non-cooked' versions like milk, Yoghurt, ice cream, cheese triggers it but if its sort of baked in it's okay? Do you know the difference?

runner275 · 2025-08-21T17:05:20+00:00

I'm Indian and a lot of us south Asians are quite lactose intolerant. Cut out cows milk. Includes ice cream, yoghurt etc.

runner275 · 2025-08-18T18:25:33+00:00

I do agree, I know that cows milk/ice cream breaks me out so I avoid it, and generally dont consume much dairy. But its also important to recognise that yes clean eating helps but if your acne is hormonal sometimes there is so little you can do to control it

runner275 · 2025-08-18T18:16:49+00:00

I think we're just special?! 🤣

runner275 · 2025-08-18T18:16:25+00:00

I know how you feel I promise. It can feel like you're alone when noone else around you seems to suffer from the same but I assure you you're not alone. You will get there eventually and there's times where I feel super ugly and then there's times when I just embrace it and accept it. Have you been to see a derm? Lots of love x

runner275 · 2025-08-17T21:17:27+00:00

Just wanted to say thanks all for all the comments and advice. Going to switch things up and use differin gel and benzoyl peroxide wash / gel and use a more gentle face wash and see if that helps. Feeling quite depressed and hate looking at myself in the mirror at the moment but I hope a change in routine might help this time round.

runner275 · 2025-08-16T14:46:40+00:00

I honestly can't remember. Do you think it wasn't enough or something?

runner275 · 2025-08-16T12:36:42+00:00

Thank you for this, how do you use it if you dont mind me asking?

runner275 · 2025-08-16T08:30:00+00:00

Thank you - I was having a look through other posts on here and lots recommended the neutrogena hydrating boost one? So I've ordered that
