In Topic: What Can I Do With My Redness And Uneven Skin? With Pics.

I wouldn't drop BP, I have the same issue; not a single acne pimple but some redness left.  I started using BP every 2-3 days and I am using Finacea twice a day (not harsh, natural and made for acne/redness).

 

I'm having good results, but still not perfect (only been 3 weeks so far).

 

Vbeam/Finacea is probably the answer you are looking for, and Finacea can be bought online since it's not a prescription in Austrlia, took around 10 days for shipping.

I ordered Finacea from an Australian Pharmacy (no prescription).  Hopefully you are right and it will do the trick.  Here is a shot that I have taken today

I honestly think it's pretty bad, especially around my nose.  How long did it takes you to get results from Finacea?

 

thanks again!

I always wanted to try Finacea but my GP don't know what is it so I never had the chance.  I just ordered it from Australia since it's an over the counter drug (only $50 with shipping).

 

Are you still using benzoyl peroxide alongside?  I already stopped it before and it has been the worst mistake I have done.

 

I'm thinking about using BP on morning and Finacea at night.

I don't think it is irritation, it sting a little bit when I apply BP, it's a little bit more sensitive but I don't feel any pain or anything, it's simply just red

 

how long does it took for you to see results from Finacea?  I have an important date in 2 months, hopefully it will had fade a bit

I also think it's due to my medication, I had those redness even before I started Duac.  I think overuses of products (Duac, Differin, SA cleanser etc.) and lack of moisturizer is the cause.

 

I'm going to try the regimen right now, i'll stick with 2.5% bp and gentle product maybe it will do the trick.

 

For now, I'm using spectro 2.5% Bp, Spectrogel and Neutrogena oil free moisture by the time I'll get my order shipped.

 

I also mix pure Aloe Vera in my moisturizer and I kinda like it.

 

I don't know if an emolient like Neosporin or something could speed up the process?

Also, what you think about AHA?  Could it help with irritation/redness/marks?

 

thanks again, very appreciated.

Alright thank you, I just ordered it and hopefully it will works.

 

My acne is pretty much undercontrol, but come back as soon as I stop BP.  I'm more trying to deal with irritation than acne right now.

 

I guess going from 5% to 2.5% will probably help.

 

thanks again.
