HELLO PICKY! Yes, the title is dramatic HAHAHAHA.

So my question is, how long do you usually stick to a product until you decide that it's not working, it's not purging anymore and it actually made your acne worse? Give me duration please.

I'm using an AHA BHA cleanser for more than a month now (but less than 6 weeks) and my skin rn is so bad it's discouraging to continue using the product. 

Your thoughts are very much appreciated. 

🇵🇭 Here are the products I use:
I use the cleanser and soothing gel day and night, the serum at night + sunblock in the morning. 

And I'm using the new formulation of the cleanser.

Enough is enough.

Hi picky! I just started my treatment last Tuesday. All the products that I'm using was given to me by my dermatologists (except for the sunscreen) and this is the driest, crustiest, and tightest my face have ever been. It doesn't feel good, I know it shouldn't not feel good at all. I'm pretty sure a portion of my face is burnt that's why

I'm thinking of taking a break for tonight from all of these and just put moisturizer after cleansing my face to let my skin breathe even just for a bit.

What do you think?

Here are the products/medicines I'm using rn:
• Acne Defense Gel Wash (this is actually really good, I liked it so no issues here)
• Akneclin Gel - morning; my doctor actually wants me to use it at night too but my skin can't! literally i have another medicine after this that's why i decided to just apply it every morning
• Klenzit MS gel - 3x a week, night.
• Benzoper gel - benzoyl peroxide spot treatment; day and night
• "Lightening Cream" - from my derm; for my acne scare and hyperpigmentation both day and night
• Acnemoist - moisturizer at night; it isn't enough for all the treatments I've put prior to this 😬 

I would also talk about this with my derm when I get an appointment, I just wanna know you guys' thoughts about this. But if I must say, my skin/acne got better actually since Tuesday. It's really just the drying and tightness and burning feeling that's I'm having trouble of.

Treatment

Hello! So I bought this gel cream and upon checking it, I noticed a misspelling and the QR code isn't working so I have no way of checking its authenticity. And seeing that other reviews on this product on that store have 72% Centella leaf water and mine has 70% made me think that maybe it's fake?

What do you guys think?

iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream

(🇵🇭) Hi, picky! long story ahead!!

my forehead is a crime scene right now ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ i mean my whole face is but my forehead takes the trophy atm. this started even back when i was using my medications and soap prescribed by my doctor until i finished them all up. i've been out of my medications for 3 months now because i'm broke and the online consultation of the hospital where i got checked stopped as well. 

now, they've gotten way worse and nothing works. it doesn't like my gentle cleanser, my moisturizer, and even sunscreen. that's my only routine right now. (it even seems like my skin doesn't like the sunscreen i'm using rn as well like i'm breaking the hell out here but that's another story for another time) I'm just using my kojic soap to cleanse it. 

i got a little bit of money now and i want to try and restore/heal my face for real w/o stopping now. i'm thinking of using tretinoin for my face alongside with bha serum once a week.

i need some advice how i could treat this mess please! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) 

thank you!!

forehead this time (ಥ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಥ⁠)

To my combination-oily sensitive acne and fungal acne prone skin (😭) girlies, thoughts on this products? I'm serious when I say my skin is very sensitive 😔 I still get acne here and there but I mostly want to deal with the PIE it left and I also have forehead acne again so please tell me if this product is worth it. TYSM!!
