tldr at bottom - hope this fits the rulesi didn’t have good skin until i was in my early 20’s but even then it wasn’t completely clear. in february, my skin got really bad with cystic acne popping up by my cheeks, mouth, and jaw. i ran out of the makeup i usually used and was using makeup that i had around. i was also using a new foundation someone recommended me. the problem was that, even after i stopped using the foundation or was trying a new one, the acne wouldn’t go away. at that point i thought it was hormonal bc cystic until i stumbled onto a comment where someone mentioned they were sensitive to cyclopentasiloxane and got cystic acne as a result from it.i checked the ingredients of all the products i was using and it was in everything (except the makeup i was using before i ran out). i honestly threw out like 5 drugstore foundations, 2 lotions, 2 primers, and a concealer and bought products that didn’t have it. my skin quickly got better and now i have clear(er) skin again.tldr: i’ve been seeing a lot of posts with people dealing with cystic acne. i’m not an expert but found that i personally got cystic acne as a result of an ingredient that’s in a lot of drugstore products. the ingredient is cyclopentasiloxane
