what happens if you stop differin? and how do you stop it ? slowly or just stop? 



basically i want to stop because of the photosensitivity it causes... i wanna use something that doesnt make you photosensitive so i can enjoy summer ... at least a little... :(

Does Smoking Cigarretes Make Red/purple Marks Fade Slower?

19 November 2012 - 04:47 PM

u gave a bunch of red marks since august and ive been using differin+ sunscreen everyday+ sallycilic acid and they are fading really really slow... im pale white skinned.... does smoking slow down red marks down?

 

 

i no longer use sallycilic acid... i just use differin and betainisoda face wash ( povidone iodine) and tea tree oil and rosemary moisturizer when skin feels dry.. and still always use sunscreen in the morning
