I been suffering from acne for like a solid five years. It started out small then it was very red now it just seems like I have clogged pores and nothing will get rid of it. I started a new skincare regimen last month and I have not seen any change . I tend to have very oily skin. I need some tips and ideas please.
Routine
Double Cleanse - Cerave Foaming Wash
La Roche Salicylic Acid Wash
Rosewater Toner
The ordinary niacinimiade
Trader Joes lotion with spf 15
Night
Double Cleanse - Cerave Foaming Wash
Panoxyl 10%
Rosewater Toner
The ordinary niacinimiade
Trader Joes lotion with spf 15
i use the ordinary bha and aha mask weekly
Few things:
1. When you say "double cleanse" do you mean you wash twice? Bad idea to do that. You want to limit irritation.
2. No SPF needed at night. Just a facial moisturizer.
3. Sal acid is weak, so I'd switch to benzoyl peroxide both morning and night.
Boiling it all down though, I would just say read the regimen and follow it. You can use other products with the regimen if you need to, but follow the regimen steps precisely and you'll get clear. And add in 10% glycolic acid as well right from the start since you're already accustomed to benzoyl peroxide.
