Is this a damaged skin barrier? I’ve been using epiduo for 10 years
My routine is quite simple and has been simple for the past 10 years I only use face cream, Micellar water and epiduo. But I can’t tell if it’s left me with a compromised skin barrier when I first started using it, it cleared up my acne for a good 3 years but ever since it’s just been like this.
But a few weeks ago it started really irritated my skin and it was burning so I’ve stopped using it but now I have all these little pimples coming out. I can’t afford to see a dermatologist out of pocket and waiting on the NHS list will take me forever so I’m at a loss on what to do.
The side I don’t sleep on is always the worst side so I don’t think it’s a dirty pillow causing this. But being almost 30 and not having clear skin at all is really getting to me.
The redness isn’t bad when I wake up but gets worse as the day goes on is this a blood flow thing?
