I need that bouncy and glowing look w/o make up.

My dermat ain't helping

Hey guys,

So giving a little context to this.

I have PCOS and oily acne prone skin.

From the past couple of months I have had acne on and off. One of the reasons were mangoes.

I was wondering whatyou guys do for acne marks?

I really dont have a particular preference but open to suggestions.

I’ve been using UV Doux and Re’equil for a while, but I feel like they’re causing redness and small bumps which eventually turn into pimples. I stopped using them for 3–4 days and the pimples reduced, so I’m wondering if the silicone texture is clogging my pores or if I’m just not removing the sunscreen properly.

I currently use micellar water to double cleanse. Would a cleansing oil work better for removing silicone/sweat-resistant sunscreen? Is Minimalist cleansing oil good for oily skin?

I’ve tried UV Doux, Acne-UV, Re’equil, LRP, BOJ, Minimalist and wishcare. The fluid-type sunscreens like BOJ, LRP and Minimalist make my skin look dull and aren’t very sweat-resistant, and I sweat a LOT. So I prefer the silicone-type ones.

Should I try a different silicone-based sunscreen + cleansing oil, or should I completely avoid them?Or is there any other sunscreens that is ideal for me.

Any recommendations would be really helpful!

Hii I wanted others opinion on if my daily skincare routine is considered too much?
I am getting married in about 9 months time so Im trying to address my skin concerns before that. I am oily, acne prone, and have alot of acne dark marks due to it (bad habit of skin picking is also there that I am working on). My acne has dramatically reduced since starting this routine (i still get obv) but just worried that I might be using too many actives on my face. I have alot of time to address these, I am fine with many months long process of clearing my face.

Morning:
The Derma Co. 1% Salicylic Acid Gel Face Wash
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Colloidal Oat
Azeleic Acid 10% Cream (Aziderm)
La Shield Sunscreen Gel spf40 (if leaving the house)

Night:
The Derma Co. 1% Salicylic Acid Gel Face Wash
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Colloidal Oat
Adapalene 0.1% (Deriva MS)

If Im wearing a full face of makeup, I will use coconut oil to remove and then a dettol soap to clean it off, wipe my face with a makeup remover to ensure no makeup is left behind then use my SA cleanser. I know many people say not to use coconut oil on acne skin but I dont have issues with it over the years.

I used to put clindamycin on my face but Ive developed a resistance to it so I dont use anymore.
thank you for any input!

If anyone has any recs for reducing back acne and fading the marks from that please share.

Found the solution to close comedones

Okay so the thing is I've been dealing with CCs since last year and initially I ignored them because they are 2-3 here and there, but this Summer I went to beach (kokan) and that's it. My skin was gone. I was severely tanned, dehydrated (which I didn't figure out untill now), I started having much severe CCs and the office AC was making it worse. Tried multiple products. Azelaic acid 10%, adapalene gel. Nothing was working and the humidity at the beach made my combination skin produce more oil. So my skin was dehydrated + oily, and the oil made me think that my skin is not dehydrated. The dehydrated for me made CCs worse.

Was so fed up with everything I decided to stop adapalene. And then I started figuring out what might be the issue.

1. Realized when my skin is dry it made CCs more visible.

2. My mineral Sunscreen (with white cast) was making my skin even more dry. And also it was piling up on my open pore around my T zone.

3. The pond's super light gel moisturizer wasn't as moisturizing as it should be to my dehydrated skin.

4. Added a 2% salicylic acid and 6% niacinamide gel (sebogel) for cleaning my pores

So I I decided to focus more on hydration. Changed the sunscreen, changed the moisturizer, again started using the hydrating cleanser(stopped because I thought it was not cleaning my oil properly) and guess what. I just after 2 days of maintaining this routine I saw difference in my CCs, they were less visible.

Also patience is the key. I haven't cleared all my CCs yet but there's anything improvement and it means a lot to me because I was someone who had nothing on my face most of the time only 1-2 hormonal acnes before my periods and the past few months really made me insure about my own skin.

I hope this helps someone.

Face care products.

oily / combination skin, blackheads on nose and cheek.

Goal: want clear face skin.

Products I am using but unable to figure out a routine:

Minimalist Anti-Acne Salicylic Acid 2% Face Wash

Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid Serum

Minimalist light fluid spf 50 sunscreen

Minimalist 10% niacinamide serum.

Minimalist Vitamin B5 10% Moisturizer

1. What other products to consider?

2. Can anyone recommend a weekly routine?

I have heard that making rice paste and applying it at night brings the glow back is it true if yes how do I make it ?

I have seen people saying it works so how do I make it like the measurements and do I have to wash my face before with facewash or after

Quick question and asking people who are actually using it or who's a dermatologist or someone expert in skin science. Can we use Aziderm and The Minimalist Niacinamide 10% serum together? Like layer one with the other? I have been doing it with The Ordinary Azelaic acid 10% suspension but it's getting expensive in the long run. I'm looking for an alternative. Please help me out. Thank you so much.
