I have been out of any form of any acne medication/treatment for 2 months now.But below are the medications i've taken before having this terrible issue,
2013-2015 started acne treatment with retin a 0.1%,but suddenly had very irritated and red face which result in me requesting for a change.
2015-2016 doctor gave me a new prescription which is clindoxyl (benzoyl peroxide 5% and clindamycin 1%) with AHA.I used both for a few months and although getting clearer and clearer my skin got more irritated.
So i decided to cut down to every other day and even tried taking a week off,which wasn't helping much.Eventually i finally stopped all treatments and just moisturized my face with cerave everyday hoping to get my normal skin tone back.But 2 months ago prior to now,there hasn't been much of a change,people are still commenting on how red my skin looks.I'm frustrated and times i just feel like crying,i've never visited my dermatologist since then due to financial struggles,provided my skin isn't breaking out as much,just really flushed with a few scars here and there.So please,give me some advice,anything i should do?I have been on a very clean diet and drinking lots of water to prevent any breakouts,but the redness persists.
hey, if i were you i would just use two things:
to wash morning and night spectro jel cleanser for blemish prone skin is only sold in stores in canada so is pretty cheap there, but if you dont live there you can get it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Spectro-Cleanser-Fl-oz-Blemish-Fragrance/dp/B00FOXIXBQ/
then during the day i would use a moisturizer that has zinc oxide in it which significantly calms redness down. try to find one that is at least 20% zinc oxide. i love andalou naturals
