Hello everyone!
I’m 34 and have struggled with acne my whole life. I’ve tried so many products and never found anything that really helps reduce my acne (which is probably hormonal and at its worst a week before my period is due), but is also kind to my sensitive skin (which gets red very easily and can be dry on my forehead and cheeks). I have some acne scarring too and my skin is pretty pale, which means without make up my skin can look awful between the redness and acne. The only product I can really say that seems to have helped my skin is the Elemis pro collagen marine cream but it’s sooo expensive to keep buying. I recently started to use the Pai Phaze cleanser but this has caused me to have some really painful breakouts. I have no idea where to go now! Before that I was using the Elemis gentle foaming cleanser which didn’t increase my breakouts but didn’t really help them either. I use the Cerave retinol at night, with the Elemis superfood night cream. I am happy to pay up to £50 per product.
I would really recommend that you look into Isotretinoin(Accutane). Ask your dermatologist if you're a good candidate for this meds.
I have taken this, and it was LIFE CHANGING for me, I only wish I've taken them sooner so I could've prevented acne scars lol. I no longer have acne or white heads. wish you the best^^
