[Personal] If you’re like me and have suddenly started getting cystic acne by your chin/mouth area, check the ingredients of your new products (esp for cyclopentasiloxane)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi! i’ve posted before a few months ago but i wanted to share. if you started developing painful cystic acne, check the ingredients of the products you’re using. i discovered that i have a bad reaction to the ingredient cyclopentasiloxane that causes cystic acne near my mouth and jawline. i got rid of all my products that had it (foundations, primers, lotions) and my skin cleared right up in two weeks. (i had clearish skin to start before these breakouts but started using new makeup products).recently with it being hot out and i like running in the mornings, i decided to get a face sunscreen to help protect my skin. i started getting cystic acne again slowly over the course of two weeks. i figured out that the sunscreen i bought had cyclopentasiloxane (the missha pink bottle). the crazy thing is that i checked the missha green bottle’s ingredients and it didn’t have cyclopentasiloxane in it, i opted for the pink bottle just bc of the price and didnt check.anyways, i wanted to post that even though we may have our routine down, sometimes we forget to check ingredients and sometimes it’s sneaky. you might not have the same issue as me but if this one ingredient is keeping you from clear skin like it did for me, try omitting it for two weeks.i found that TO azelaic acid helped manage the flare ups and redness and vitamin c helped with the scars as my skin got back to its clearish state. late february to mid march
