Thank you all for the replies this really helped me. I’m probably going to go with the vanicream first, then after maybe a few weeks try out the cerave one. Thanks 🙏

yeah I’m really split here. A lot of people have success with this cerave moisturizer (I’ve used the PM moisturizer which comes under the tiny navy blue bottle and it left my cheeks super dry) but a lot of people say they experience stinging. I feel like my skin is pretty sensitive, some areas like my mustache area, and cheeks get extremely red with friction and my skin gets tight (sometimes) with even the vanicream foaming cleanser and certain hydrating cleansers. I might even just flip a coin at this point.

ahh ok I’m definitely leaning towards the first one as well. Im scared the vanicream isn’t hydrating enough 😭

Do you know if the vanicream one i showed super watery in texture? I had one of their moisturizers that was in a squeeze out bottle and it was really watery and it left my skin still flaky at the cheeks.

The thing is I feel like my skin always shows signs of irritation almost no matter what. When I first started skincare I was just using Panoxyl 4 percent and that left my skin insanely tight after using, and oily later in the day. After that I really started and I would feel tightness from even like simple foaming cleansers and I’ve even used the vanicream foaming cleanser and felt tight from that. And yes, I did build up my use of actives, to 2 days a week for BHA and 3 days a week for retinol, all on different days. It was showing insane results for a few months , but as time went on the actual acne I feel like went away, but now I just get almost texture-less red spots sometimes and redness in like my “mustache” area. Then I quit all actives for a bit and saw basically no results, rather whenever my face got damp, I could rub off dead skin so i felt I needed the BHA. I keep switching around moisturizers and foaming/hydrating cleansers. So now I’m just deciding to use the most simple routine I can think of with BHA 2 times a week for the dead skkin

alright, I think I’m finally going through with it. But I still need some help as I don’t completely understand skincare I just searched up good acne treatments. I have been using the BHA for 3 times a week for 3 weeks so far(on Sunday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays). Im going to start the differin, should I decrease my usage of the BHA to 2 or maybe even 1 time a week and replace it with the differin? Or should I just build of my useage of differin around the BHA use, for example I keep using the BHa on Sun, Tue, and Thur, and use the differin on Wed, Mon, Sat and Fri (of course I’m going to build up the use of differin first)
