hey,
ive got off of a 4 months 40mg accutane about 3-4 months ago.
my skin is pretty clear, i still get some little whiteheads some time tho, but they usually go away fast.
i started used witch hazel recently on my forehead, i had a couple of little pimples there and on my nose, the 2 oily part of my face, t-zone classic problem.
i also switched from neutrogena 15 FPS oil free moisturizer to the combination skin one. the fps made my skin greasy.
i noticed my forehead has quite gone more bad then before after a week of use of witch hazel and that new moisturizer. new little pimples red more like reaction the acne it seem.
i was wondering if i could use the witch hazel only without moisturizer ? it make my skin way less shiny and good like but im wondering if is that product that broke me out or the moisturizer,
i remember ditched that moisturizer long ago when i was on my accutane course for the FPS one, i dont remember why tho. maybe cause i noticed it broked me out.
any opinion ? is witch hazel only without moisturizer too drying ?
yes it have the 14 % alcohol, but its the dickinson witch hazel and its natural alcohol necessary for the distillation , ive heard more good from that one then the
0 % thayers !
im gonna continue using it for this week and see hows its going, my skin look fine after applying, its mostly after a shower, look like i have way more pimples then before, an hour after it calm down and look good,
ive stopped that new moisturizer to see if this was the cause, since i applied only on certain parts on face, and this is where i broke out a bit. ( but it was also same part where i applied witch hazel)
if after this week it havent calmed down, im gonna stop the witch hazel and just cleanse etc like i did before and had no breakouts.
