Help! In February I got swept into the skincare hype on TikTok and completely ruined my skin! | went from saying Simple makeup wipes, Cerave SA cleanser and Cerave moisturiser to a whole new bunch of skincare. In the past l've had the odd spot but nothing like this. Fast forward to today I got recommended Medik8 products so for the last month I had AM Clarifying cleanser, clarity peptides and Cerave cleanser plus Press and Clear every other day and Cerave moisturiser. PM lipid oil cleanser, calmwise cleanser and Cerave moisturiser.

My whole face started to get irritated so for the past few days and scaled back to the oil cleanser, calmwise cleanser and moisturiser. I just feel at my wits ends.

Lets get this sorted 🙂

It seems you were/are using a lot of different products some of which are either causing outbreaks or working antagonistically with each other. I used the Cerave moisturiser and for me it broke me out, even though its designed for acne prone skin. If your skin was mostly clear before you started to use all these products then you might want to just stop using anything except a gentle cleanser and any moisturiser you have previously used which didn't cause you any problems. This may clear you up in a few weeks. If not then your acne may have just worsened and it looks like you would really benefit from Dan's regime. Stick to it precisely with recommended products and you should get cleared up.
