Ive always been acne prone, but my skin cleared up for a year or so and got little to no acne. But out of no where I began to get pimples, texture and some red spots. Has anyone had similar skin to mine? How can I fix it? I am currently using CeraVe Foaming cleanser, the ordinary glycolic acid 7% toning solution and CeraVe moisturizing cream. What products do you all suggest?
Seems like retentional acne for the most part but your skin is not bad. Switch your glycolic to salicylic 2%( paula's choice bha lotion is a good one) since bha is oil soluble meaning is goes deep into your pores. And let the lotion really sink into your skin a couple of minutes before moisturising. Adapt the frequency to your skin sensitivity and build from there.Make sure your clanser is sulfate-free (too irritant) and add a simple gel moistuiser without any pore clogging ingredients like facetheory supergel m3. You could experience a purge during the first weeks, but you have to continue. AlsoMaybe try a sulfur mask to cut down the inflammation during a purge.
