So it would be something like
AM:
cleanse, skinoren, SPF
PM(1):
2xcleanse, hydroquinone, moisturizer
PM(2):
2xcleanse, tretinoin(maybe move down to 0.25), moisturizer
Or is this a bit too much? i have really sensitive skin as in it just turns red instantly the moment I put anything on it but I don't get any flaking etc.
I had severe acne that went away (mostly) about 3 years ago with 2 rounds of acutane.
Also, opinions on switching SPF from CeraVe to BeautyOfJoseon Relief Sun SPF? Ive heard good things ab it. The CeraVe has been the only spf i don't break out on though out of the ones I've tried.
Also looking for an alternative to my Cetaphil moisturizer, it doesn't seem like my skin likes it.
It might be too much if you’re skin is sensitive. I wonder if you might just use the hydroquinone one the morning and stick to Azelaic and retinol at night, as I imagine the hydroquinone is more gentle and its best to use the stronger actives at night.
Cerave sunscreen irritated my skin. So I recommend switching. You’d probably have to pay more for a good face moisturizer if the Cetaphil is irritating. I found that even the most highly recommended body moisturizers just didn’t cut it for my sensitive face. I have been enjoying Asian brands for that too—Purito, Soon Jung, as they often have calming ingredients like centella, pantheol and ceramides and are affordable. I also am trying out the Inkey List Water Cream, which has 5% Niacinamide and is supposed to be suitable for oily skin.
