Choosing between a strong barrier and pimples
Do you ever feel like you have to choose between these? For me, my barrier thrives the most when I’m using several layered products designed for the barrier. It looks strong, not red, and glowy. But it seems like the trade off is that layering products almost always leads to random pimples.
I have type 2 rosacea.
If I simplify my routine, the pimples go away, but I get redness and lose all the glowiness.
For reference, I’m using Vanicream cleanser, Tower 28 SOS spray as a toner, Skin1004 Centella ampoule, I’m from Mugwort essence, haruharu wonder probiotic essence, and Dr Althea 345 moisturizer and Vanicream SPF. At night I try to use tret even once a week, but my skin gets irritated by it very quickly.
Just curious if anyone else has this experience!
