Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey /r/skincareaddition,I've been lurking for a few weeks after being prescribed various forms of tretinoin. Long story short: Was recently informed that I officially have cystic acne, and have been dealing with it since 13 w/ varying results.I believe I have oily, acne prone skin. I've tried the below-mentioned clinique 3-step program (2x day, for the past 5 years) which cleared up most of my acne (75-80%). Recently prescribed tretinoin to try and clear up the last 20-25%. Afraid that I may need a new routine to compensate for the tret. Afraid of using new products because of a fear of breakout which can cause new scars and take 1-2 weeks to get rid of.I've noticed that most of my breakouts are food-related: Pretty-heavy lactose-intolerant (butter/milk/any dairy whatsoever), no beef/pork, brown sugar, fried foods.Current routine -- Morning: Clinique 3 set program (w/ bar soap instead of foam), sunscreen afterwardsNight: Clinique bar soap, tretinoin .1%, sunscreen then vaseline afterwards.Current routine leaves me with consistent acne around the chin/upper lip, with the tretinoin causing the skin below my lower lip to peel when the moisturizer loses its effectiveness (~8 hrs from application). Typically deal with dry, flaky skin in public or hope I'm at home where I can put some vaseline on it.I'll be the first to mention I'm really wandering around in the dark here and can use whatever help I can get. May be meeting w/ the dermatologist in the near future to have some sort of pill prescribed to help because I'm not sure what to do.Hope to hear from you guys soon.
