Struggling with Extremely Bad Acne. Need Help!!!!!
Hi everyone,
I’m really struggling with my acne and could use some advice. I've tried almost every "good" product under the sun, including:
Skin1004 Centella line toners
Anua Niacinamide Serum
Torreden Serum
Dr. G Moisturizer
Anua Toner
Cosrx Snail Mucin
Mixsoon Bean Essence (this made my skin super hydrated)
Despite my efforts, I haven’t seen any progress. In fact, the Some By Mi Toner and Anua Toner Pads really broke me out. I’ve given these products 2-3 months to work, but nothing has changed.
Initially, I thought my skin barrier might be damaged from all the products and actives I was using. So, I switched to a hydrating routine, but still saw no improvement. I suspect it might be hormonal acne, so I’ve tried eating healthier, but that hasn’t made much difference either.
I also considered that wearing makeup every day could be a factor. However, I’ve stopped wearing it for a few days and still haven’t seen any improvement. I should mention that when I do wear makeup, I double cleanse with an oil cleanser and water-based cleanser.
I recently moved to Japan and have tried the Acnes and Pair creams. The Acnes cream is the one I’m currently focused on, and it is sort of helping.
If anyone has experienced something similar or has any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thank you!
