Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi, I was just prescribed finacea for my mild but persistent adult (hormonal) acne. I have oily skin that also gets quite dry and flaky in the winter. I'm also 12 weeks pregnant. I did search (extensively!) but couldn't find an answer to my question.My routine prior to this prescription was:AM and PM: Wash with salicylic acid face wash (my OB says this is safe) (Neutrogena Derp Clean Long-Last Shine Control) 15 minutes with illumask Clindamycin gel 1% Wait 10 minutes Small amount of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide Moisturizer (Aveeno Ultra Calming)This has been my routine for years! No new products.My OB prescribed the finacea when I asked about it, as it is safe for pregnancy. However, he hadn't heard of it until I brought it up- so he couldn't give me much routine help. I've heard of others using Clindamycin in the morning and finacea in the evening. However, the information with the finacea said to use the finacea twice a day. I will also be stopping the benzoyl peroxide, as I'm hearing mixed reviews about its safety.My OB did also give me the name of a great NP who works at a local dermatology clinic, but I'd like to see if the finacea helps, first.Has anyone else used these meds? What order did you apply them in? Any other helpful hints? Thanks!!
