Hello, I want to ask if, its safe to use an expired product such as Salicylic Acid Cleanser (Klenzit 1.5% SA Face Wash 🇵🇭)?

I bought this last Feb, and the expiry date would be next month, October of 2021. It has no exact date but only month and year. Is it safe to use until October 30/31 of 2021? 

The amount of the product is likely in the middle or below the middle. Its too liquidy (little goes a long way) so I just use a tiny amount for my whole face. 

Thanks :D

*Btw before, I used this cleanser (or any bha cleansers such as CeraVe or Neutrogena) for my back acne. I leave it there for about one to two minutes then rinse off. My back acne dries up and now they are completely gone. In addition, always have a towel if you're outside for the sweat*

Expired Product: Salicylic Acid Cleanser

Hi!! I notice that Im currently having minor breakouts. I notice it while Im looking at my vanity mirror a while ago. Some of them are drying. Some of them are huge, however it already drying up. 

QUESTION:
Are you experience some breakouts while you are on Tretinoin or in Retinoids in general? What do you do to combat it? 

BACKGROUND:
Im living on a hot to humid place, The Philippines. I think I should stop using my moisturizer for a while, since it's a cream and quite thick. It can be possible that my moisturizer is one of the factors of this. 

***I changed my pillowcases few days ago and I didn't change my diet (same as when I started tret). However, I might go to the barber shop tomorrow for a haircut, maybe it's one if the factors.

***Im using Tretinoin Cream 0.05% for a year now, and it changed my skin in a good way, FYI.

Ps: I have here my Clindamycin Toner (last use: May 21, 2022; after three months of using it since February 21, 2022). I know this sound stupid, but can I use it for a while, like for two weeks? But maybe, I need to consult to a derma by Monday, since my old derm is not responding anymore (through online dermatology consultation).

Thanks in advance! Hope you could help me huhu, cause  my anxiety and depression is starting to attack me right now. )):

BREAKING OUT WHILE ON RETINOIDS

Hello guys! I just want to ask if which is more better? Alpha Arbutin or Niacinamide?

Main concerns:

Oiliness
Hyperpigmentation (pie/pih)
Dullness
Pimple

***Btw, you can share your experience of using these great and wonderful actives! That means a lot go me. 🖤 

(these are all Filipino Brands, glad that the Philippine Skincare Industry are improving) 🇵🇭a

Alpha Arbutin & Niacinamide: AA vs B3

Hello guys!! Im asking a lot of questions lately huhu LOL!

Earlier in the morning, I face again to my mirror and saw some like pustules or small pimples. However, they are not painful (when I touched it with my sanitized hands). Some of them are red pimples but not itchy or painful. Many of them are pustules like (small pimples with yellow or white heads or pus).

Is it a purging? or it's just a normal reaction of the skin? 

Im also using Benzoyl Peroxide as my spot treatment, as my Dermatologist prescribed to me before.

*Can BHA and Tretinoin help this problem?
*Should I worry about this or not?

Tretninoin Purging Season 2?

HELLO! I am experiencing quite a bumpy skin. This is visible for several days or months.

Simple Background Check:
I'm on Tretinoin 0.05% Cream everyday as my derm prescription before. Im still using it, plus her reco of using BHA Face Cleanser twice a day to help my breakouts and unclogged pores. In addition Im also using 20% Azelaic Acid Cream, in which I do not use every night but thrice a week only (MWF). 

So getting back to my main concern, these bumps is like harden sebaceous particles or filaments. As well as some blackheads too. It is not that visible in far, but it's visible when you are near. Especially if the sun rays hit the side of my face while facing a mirror. Should I add Glycolic Acid as my AHA Exfoliator? Or the BHA Cleanser together with Tretinoin could help with my problem???

THANKS!!

AHA: Bumpy Rocky Top Layer of the Skin

Nothing, no irritation or any horrible reaction.

However, it takes some time to dries up totally your pimple it may depend to the size of it. Sometimes small to medium sized pimples dries up overnight, in contrast for the case of large pimples it it took 2 days before it totally dries up.

Update: 

Since my acne got better now, i only use this 2× a week as an exfoliator, and I switched to more gentle cleanser with no strong actives to prevent over-exfoliation. :))

It recommended to me by my Dermatologist for my acne. It really does its job, it dries up all my pimples and blackheads&#47;whiteheads in just a month. 

It is not drying on face but, its moisturizing since it has glycerin which is great for oily skin in repairing the skin&#39;s moisture barrier.

What to expect in this product?
- it has 100 and 200 ml bottle
- available in both Mercury and Watsons stores and they&#39;re also available at online shops such as shopee and lazada.
- 100 ml for 250 pesos, and 200 ml for 400 pesos
- moisturizing not drying

Added Informations about this product:

- FRAGRANCE FREE (which is super great!)
- has a pH level of 5.5 (normal to neutral)
- non comodegenic 
- if not works on you, you can use it as a body wash for underarm or back acne (as Dr. Dray said in her youtube channel) since Salicylic Acid is known for its anti-bacterial properties.
