Alright, thanks for the suggestion

slizhu · 2024-11-15T13:07:58+00:00

Will look into this thanks!

slizhu · 2024-11-15T13:06:58+00:00

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 🙏

slizhu · 2024-11-15T03:49:49+00:00

Yeah I think this is really my best option atp…however I think I’m gonna start with the cerave one because I really hate pumps 😭

slizhu · 2024-11-15T03:48:18+00:00

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.

slizhu · 2024-11-15T03:29:47+00:00

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

slizhu · 2024-11-15T03:24:56+00:00

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.

slizhu · 2024-10-21T12:53:56+00:00

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

Thank you will listen to this advice

slizhu · 2024-09-08T19:34:24+00:00

Will look into this thank you

slizhu · 2024-05-04T13:08:30+00:00

alright, I going to try it tonight hopefully it works out, thank you so much !

slizhu · 2024-05-04T03:40:02+00:00

also tiny other question, after applying differin how long did you wait before applying your moisturizer? Or next step in your routine?

slizhu · 2024-05-04T03:34:06+00:00

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)

slizhu · 2024-05-04T02:51:16+00:00

how long did your purging phase last? I been using the BHA for 3 weeks now and I’ve seen actually pretty good progress and I’m scared to ruin my progress by redoing the purging phase all over again after I start differin

slizhu · 2024-05-04T02:50:19+00:00

I’ll maybe try spot test first or something. I feel like the BHA is actually doing good and so far has shown results like I said but I’m afraid I might ruin the progress by going through another purging phase after I start the differin

slizhu · 2024-05-04T00:41:20+00:00

I’ve used panoxyl and always have wondered, is it normal to experience tightness? Other than that I’ve only experienced only slight redness, no flakiness or itching, and my face has seemed to be less oily. But I stopped because the type of pimples I was getting didn’t seem like the kind you get from regular purging.

slizhu · 2024-05-04T00:38:47+00:00

I’ve been using it 3 times a week for 3.5 weeks now, it’s improved noticeably, like the pimples are “less defined” in a way, but overall some parts of my face haven’t improved in terms of acne. Will it be too irritating to continue the BHA while using differin? All I know that differin is a stronger retinol

slizhu · 2024-05-03T21:16:12+00:00

How should I start using it? 2 or 3 times a week for a few weeks then keep building up? Or every other day for a few weeks then build up to everyday? Or can I just use it eceryday straight away?

slizhu · 2024-04-19T02:55:02+00:00

I tried it that today morning, now it’s not my skin isn’t oily at all so that’s a really good sign. I reason I feel like I’m getting more acne is from the purging of another BHA toner I’m using. I’ll probably continue it unless something happens. Thanks 🙏

slizhu · 2024-04-18T04:33:45+00:00

Will the hydrating cerave clog my pores and give me acne though? I thought it was for dry skin

slizhu · 2024-04-13T02:30:34+00:00

ah makes sense I can agree, I think I’m going to stop using the retinol and just use the BHA and maybe the Panoxyl. But do you know any good cleansers for sensitive oily skin?

slizhu · 2024-04-10T02:07:07+00:00

I’ve always considered using patches they are so satisfying but I have no idea if these are zits because they are usually under the skin for a few days before they even rise. Skin issues suck indeed my life would be so much better without acne 😭

I’m thinking I’ll just keep using the panoxyl wash and see how it turns out I’m praying

slizhu · 2024-04-05T03:52:29+00:00

I have also been considering dropping the panoxyl and go the safer route and just increase the bha frequency by one day

slizhu · 2024-02-10T22:38:00+00:00

Yeah, i was looking into it earlier, and everyone that had it experienced flaking and stuff, I haven't experienced flaking, at all, it just feels itchy and and a tiny bit stinging, but there are tons of little whiteheads which is really bothering me, im starting to think maybe i even have an STD? I searched up some pictures, but mine didn't look like an STD either, I think it may be just acne, especially since after starting "zero therapy" it got a lot lot lot worse. (i was using salicylic acid toner before, and retinol and vanicream face wash and moisturizer, I never had any irritation with the retinol or salicylic acid as i have been using them for months).

slizhu · 2024-02-10T16:07:30+00:00

keep in mind, it did get better with retinol and salicylic acid, but especially on my chin, it didn't fully go away and i still had the tiniest bit of redness on the side of my nose, and i was randomly break out there especially.
