My daughter is dealing with acne. Shes been on dapsone for 1 year and it was showing improvement other than a few random breakouts. The random breakouts became more often and we added tretinoin to her regiment. Well, her face is a mess. Is this purging??? Should she continue? Doctors dont have much to offer. So confused and concerned. Her routine is:
AM: wash face reality gentle cleaner, dapsone, gel Moisturize or vanicream
PM wash face reality, tretinoin, dapsone, gel moisturizer or vanicream
Purging from retinoids (tretinoin) is a myth so I doubt it's that. Link to helpful article.
My personal experience with retinoids wasn't great either. They didn't do too much for me.
I highly recommend The Regimen which should get her clear. And you also might want to get her hormones double checked to be sure everything is ok there.
how old is she? usually teenagers will have more acne as their hormones are developing and changing more
does she use any hair care products that could be making her breakout like that?
i would 100% get hormone tested though, i spent so many years struggling with acne trying to find a cause and sometimes its just hormonal
also ensure her diet is pretty clean. ive cut out a lot of unnecessary sugars, fats, and carbs from my diet and have seen a huge improvement in my skin
