After 4 months, I found out that the unjustified introduction of niacinamide by acne.org in the moisturizer caused me a condition called "bacterial folliculitis", which I will now most likely have to treat with antibiotic creams, after a dermatologic visit.
It all started when I applied the new acne.org moisturizer on April, which gave me a terrible purging with 1520 pustules a day on my chin and under my nose.
Since then, niacinamide has altered my skin microbioma, and now I have to face this new conditions drastically.
And let me tell you more:
niacinamide is a very low-cost ingredient for the manufacturer
licochalcone is now proprietary to Eucerin, which most likely makes it more expensive and proprietary
These are the unofficial reasons for the moisturizer change, all the rest (supplements, stress, lifestyle and other stuffs, and science-based evidence by chatgpt articles 🤦🤦🤦) is absolutely just non-sense.
Don't fall for it.
In the past, I was more reserved when I received a call from Dan telling me that his products werent to blame for this and that reason.
Now, I am 110% sure, clinically proven, about the damage caused.
Moreover, I have dozens of reviews about niacinamide's bad behaviour.
Tip: NEVER introduce a new ingredient without first testing it thoroughly on a very small patch of skin, and NEVER break a routine that just works.
When peoples health is at stake, we enter a territory where I truly get angry.
I hope this serves everyone who is suffering, I wouldnt want anyone else to fall into my same problem.
I am absolutely sure that acne.org will NEVER be the same, serious brad that used to be decades ago, so:
Goodbye forever, acne.org.
