I've been getting whiteheads here and there. It's not severe, but it's like 1-2 a week.. And then I have really small ones that form but fade away, but some rise.

 

Recently I had been diagnosed with Vitamin D Deficiency. Winter has faded away finally, spring is here and summer is approaching and it's gotten recently hotter. I've been prescribed Vitamin D pills, but I've yet to take them.

 

I noticed, I'm a guy who goes to school, then goes home instantly and stays in most of the time playing computer. I do not move, I quit going to the gym, and I barely get sunlight. Is this an obvious reason I get acne? (I eat healthy, drink loads of water and have a good diet, so that's not it)

 

I get no blood circulation as I stay seated all day in front of a screen. I get no sunlight (vitamin d), and when I stare at my friends, they're out-going, get a lot of sun, are outside all day almost and virtually have amazing skin.

 

I've decided, I'm quitting the PC and starting to go out a lot. I think what I stated is the reason why I break out, can anyone agree on this or what? I use cetaphil oil control foam wash and moisturizer. Though, I think the moisturizer might be pore blocking even though its said to not be comedogenic.

 

i will get alot of vitamin d from the sun whilst going out a lot etc.

 

What do you guys think?

So I recently started using cetaphil and I noticed this red bump came out on my cheek.

 

It isn't hard, just a smooth little bump. It hurts when I touch it tho.

 

What is this? Cyst or just some spot that will fade away?

I have Clean n Clear 3-in-1 Advantage Exfoliating Cleanser, 5% BP.

I have Cetaphil oil Control Derma Foam Wash

I have Cetaphil Oil control moisturizer with SPF 30.

 

 

In what order do I apply these, and do I need the Clean n Clear if I already have the foam wash or what?

So recently I had clear skin, got maybe 1-2 small whiteheads each 2 weeks or so, but they would go away in a day after using Clean n Clear 3-in-1 exfoliating cleanser for 4 months. Recently, I thought I beat acne so I started binge eating sugars (cake, donuts, chocolate etc) and I started breaking out. This is where I realized sugar was my acne causer, and I kept eating it even though I broke out. I stopped though and now my whiteheads take longer to leave, compared to a days worth needed, now its 3-4 days.. I don't know why.

 

While on this regimen, I always had dry skin. I used small doses so the flakiness/dry skin wasn't that noticeable, but I have some questions now as I want to start moisturizing. 

 

I bought Cetaphil Oil Controlling moisturizer with SPF 30 and the Cetaphil Oil Control Foam Wash. On top of that, I have a clean n clear 3-in-1 advantage exfoliating cleanser.

 

This is where I need your help.. When/how do I apply these?

 

Do I apply my clean n clear first, then the moisturizer?

Do I need to use the foam wash if I have the moisturizer already or because I have the clean n clear?

Should I use the moisturizer even if it's not sunny out and I'm inside for the whole day? (It has sunscreen, SPF 30)

Should I continue using Clean n Clear 3-in-1 Advantage Exfoliating cleanser even though it dries out my skin, causes ruthal tightness and causes red spots (from dryness?) It doesn't work as good too, I still get acne, but not as much.

 

If these products are incorrect for moisturizing my skin, what products do I get then? I read reviews, I heard they're really great.

Basically I think I cured my acne, but now I have another problem. Dryness/flakiness of the face!

Each time I shower/wash my face, my eyes get really dry and my vision gets blurred day by day because of the dryness. I reduced the dosage amt of clean n clear cleanser 3-in-1 and apply very small amounts now, morning and night, each day.

I wash my face with hot water then apply the cleanser then cold water. I have no moisturizer either. I tried using olay SPF 30 sensitive skin moisturizer once but my whole face turned red so I stopped. What am I doing wrong? What steps should be taken to reduce flakiness/dryness?
