Give up or carry on?

[Paddingtonthebear]

I started using a serum twice a day nearly a week ago. Vichy Aqualia. I've started getting little spots. I've had this reaction before to loads of things, moisturisers and foundations mainly. Is my skin adjusting and should I persevere? Or just give up? My skin is dehydrated and despite hot cloth cleansing, drinking plenty of water, moisturising and taking a fish oil supplement, it's dull and dry and I'm struggling to get moisture into it.

I found hot cloth cleansing was too harsh for my skin and made it quite sore and sensitive. I was using the Liz Earle Cleans and Polish. I now just use a micellar water and my skin is back to normal.

I think it's the serum. £17, what a waste. So annoying

Maybe you could swap it for something else on the beauty swaps thread?

Good idea, thanks!
