I have damaged skin barrier


3.1.2024

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.

*Update*

25 Feb 2024

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.
