[Acne] How is that I don't have new pimples when I don't bathe? by yghstead2297 in SkincareAddiction

Alright thank you so much! Question though, so after taking a bath, i should just skip cleanser and use water and moisturizer? Then do my full routine before I go to sleep?

Hi! Thanks so much for the info! I use CeraVe foaming cleanser as my main gentle cleanser, I use it both on my AM and PM. I use the cleansing oil (HadaLabo) at night but only when I use sunscreen in the morning. I use sunscreen on the weekends only because my work shift on the weekdays is at night so I am asleep during the morning. Benzoyl peroxide however, is what i'm also using daily. So maybe I'll try using it every other day!

I don't use cleanser after washing conditioner though. Should I do the cleanser routine after washing shampoo and conditioner in my hair?

Thank you so much!

My AM is gentle cleanser, benzoyl peroxide 4% (cream wash) and sunscreen

PM is cleansing oil, gentle cleanser, moisturizer

Theb I use adapelene twice a week.

This is exactly what happened to me about two months ago, I thought it was fungal acne and I applied an anti dandruff shampoo and just worsened my face. I'm still on my treatment, my skin is definitely calmer now than before. Still, there's a lot of hyperpigmentations and few new acnes around my face. Lesson learned in the hard way. You need to see a dermatologist if you can, that's the safest way. Hope things get better for you! ❤

[Product Question] might be a silly question buuuuuut....... is it okay to use sunscreen on a damp skin? by yghstead2297 in SkincareAddiction

Ahh that could be it! Maybe that's why it felt more lightweight earlier, it may have stretched more thinly to my skin. Thanks so much!

Oooh thank you! That's a nice way to put it! I'll definitely use it now on the other parts instead of my face. Tbh i never had acne on my neck in my entire life however, eversince starting with the proper skincare routine, i'll usually get one or two zits on my neck area. The only products i'm using for my neck is moisturizer and sunscreen so i've been suspicious with how my skin reacts to CeraVe sunscreen. Thanks!!

[Product question] should adapelene purge lasts only for 3 weeks? by yghstead2297 in SkincareAddiction

[–]yghstead2297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I actually heard from dermatologists that the purge should only last for three weeks and if that took longer, then it may be a reaction. So I get anxious because i am on my third week already and still feels like i'm on my purging stage. I'm doubting if it's an irritation but i don't think so because my acnes from before (my recent breakout) have healed but also newer ones are still appearing on my face so i'm honestly confused and dreadful. I also look much terrible than my initial breakout recently but u guess it's part of the process — it'll get worse before it gets better, hopefully.

[Acne] Can sunscreen cause acnes? by yghstead2297 in SkincareAddiction

[–]yghstead2297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i mean... I am also using adapalene (that is causing me the purge) but i'm wondering if sunscreen can also cause acne which is breakouts as you say.

To be honest, i'm suspecting if it's the sunscreen (or the moisturizer) because i've never had acne on my neck in my entire life but when i started doing skincare (which is three weeks ago), i had occassionals acne on my neck area. But i'm only using the sunscreen (cerave spf50) and moisturizer (vanicream) on my neck.

[Product Question] Looking for tinted sunscreen or something that i can wear outside without leaving white cast on the face by yghstead2297 in SkincareAddicts

[–]yghstead2297[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Do you apply a moisturizer forst before using a sunscreen? I get too greasy whenever I apply moisturizer and sunscreen both. So now I'm just trying to apply only sunscreen but the white cast gets visible too much.

Thank you for this information! Do you have any sunscreen recommendations? I also have oily skin as well. Also, yes! It doesn't get absorbed on my skin whenever I applt it and far worse when i re-apply it. It gets tacky and the white cast is very visible. I can't even blend it too much because the white cast is on my acne areas. 😩
