Hello everyone who has experience with acne treatments!
I have been prescribed a benzoyl peroxide face wash and tretinoin for hormonal cystic acne and have been using it for about three months.
At first I went through the horrible peeling but now it's mostly better. I still get some though especially around any spots that still come. So now I am in a position where I still get some spots AND my skin is peeling a bit, which feels like the worst of both worlds. In general my skin now looks kind of pinker and more delicate, maybe not that healthy.
I have been using a cerave moisturiser sparingly to try to help, mainly at night. It's very basic though. In the day I tend to use the oil free heliocare spf.
I tried using the active products every other day but then the spots started coming back.
Anyone got any advice for other products to try alongside or other ways to make this work for me?? TIA
