Starting my acne treatment

📅 I went to the derm last week because of my persisting acne and these are the products she prescribed me. ⏳ I'll make sure to post updates in a few weeks/months as soon as any progress is visible! ❓ Do or did you use any of these products before? Did you like them? And also, are you currently on an acne treatment as well?

I haven’t tried any of these products before even tho I like Avène!~ I previously used adapalene 0.1% gel for my acne, and to help with its sides effects (irritation, redness...) i used Cicalfate+ from Avène or Cicaplast balm from LRP~ I wish u a good luck on your journey! Hope u will get amazing results 💛💛💛

You can try to use the “sandwich method”: apply your moisturizer first then apply your treatment (Epiduo Forte) and reapply your moisturizer on top ! 💛✨ (I used this method during the first 2 weeks of using adapalene) Also did u read any reviews before buying these Avène products or not?~ What sunscreen are you talking about ?

Avene cleansing gel is the worst, it has high pH and it caused me more acne, definitelly I do not recommend it. Galderma has great solutions for acne prone skin.

Well, my derm told me to use it so I don't really wanna mess with her about this tbh 😕 But I'm not really fond of that cleanser either, I just make sure not to cleanse too long with it. 🤷‍♀️

I used a few avene products after my derm prescribed it a few years ago and it broke me out really bad. It actually turned me off skincare for a while, so I'm a bit biased with that company. But my skin is a bit fickle anyway, so don'tlet that discourage you. I hope you get amazing results🤗

You're it is weird, but I hope that's not the case. In all honesty, if I have any skin concerns I go to an esthetician now instead of a derm, bc they seem to know a lot more about skincare🙈
