Started to feel gradual increase in itchiness on my face for the past few weeks. And it burns so bad even on sunscreen. And my sunscreen or anything applied will look super oily within few minutes.
List of products used before:
The ordinary peeling solution 1x/week
Garnier vitamin C serum~1x/2 weeks
Garnier anti-acne serum 3x daily
Sunscreens with salicylic acid daily
Etude Facewash milk daily
Deriva (adapalene) daily
All these products are damaging and thinning my face. Decided to skincare-fast for few weeks. Today is week 2.
Products used to repair:
Centella light cleansing oil daily
Simple facewash 2x daily
CICAPLAST BAUME B5+ 2x daily
After 2 weeks, skin looks less oily, and no burns. Tried using Etude Milk facewash every other day. Slowly incorporate few actives.

Bad breakouts. Just got off the cruise, been the worst had almost 10 new acne.
Tried 🆕 skin care:
La roche posay Effaclar duo 2x daily
CICAPLAST BAUME B5+ 2x daily
Gladerma benzac 5% on spots
Acne looks dried quickly from the benzac. Effaclar made my skin tight, so i layered with cicaplast and sometimes COSRX oil free ultra moisturizing lotion. A bit oily but less than last month.
