Hey Everyone,

 

So I've had really positive comments lately;

 

I know what I'm about to say has probably been repeated over 50 times but I kind want to share exactly what I do so I can finally get some advice and help. Basically I had a huge breakout a couple years ago and the acne stopped but the remains are still there. I think I saw someone say post acne hyperpigmentation. Anyways I havent ive had a couple breakouts here and there but one thing that always stood out was my oily forehead (T-Zone) its been the same story for the past 2 years so I implemented a routine where I use Cetaphil for sensitive skin cleanser; I apply it once in the morning and once at night. After I use the cleanser I apply neutrogena moisturizer for sensitive skin; oil-free and allergy free once in the morning and once at night after I apply the cetaphil cleanser. THIS has not yet worked for me at all and I'm really annoyed. In fact is made my skin even more oily and its really starting to have irritation. Am I doing something wrong? Should i completely stop using this. I still have acne marks that I want to remove. Someone advise please. Thank you!
Here is my pic of my acne marks; I really want to clear up my oily skin before I breakout like crazy again. http://imgur.com/CRwt57E

Your oily skin is determined by your hormones and the size, density of sebaceous glands. Basically what you try to put on your face never change the amount of oil produced. Washing DOESNT lead to overproducing oil. If you want to absorb oil then use serum or makeup but remember it doesnt cure your oiliness, only absorb it on the surface

 

About irritation, you only use 2 products so unless your irritation is caused by something else lets assume its either cetaphil cleanser or neutrogena moisturizer is the problem. If you dont want to throw 2 of them away then try them seperately to find out who's the culprit

Not Necessarily!!

 

Sinai have a cheap recommendation I truly believe you should try.

 

It's under 10$

 

Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream. I promise you it will help with oily skin.

 

Keep using the moisturizer along with it though!

 

I also recommend any kind of Blemish Pad with Salicylic Acid.

 

What Salicylic Acid does is increase the cell turnover and will GET RID OF YOUR hyperpigmentation!

 

I recommend Noxzema Anti Blemish Pads. 2% Salicylic Acid.

 

The best of luck to you!
