Neither of the products contain any ingredients that are too alarming. The Neutrogena does have dimethicone which is a silicone, a lot of people have negative reactions to that especially those with cystic acne.

Important to note that other things such as not changing your pillow case, touching your face, not drinking enough water and eating dairy (for many) has a huge impact on their skin.

If you want a substitute with clean ingredients, maybe try a combination of COSRX Snail Mucin and Stratia Liquid Gold to hydrate and strengthen your skin barrier.

If you're dealing with heavy cystic acne, i'd first recommend seeing a dermatologist but inclusions of a Retinol / BHA & in extreme cases, Retin A can do wonders.

Not sure if you're looking for a hydrating sunscreen or one that doesn't pile up after a while? If it's the former then your products before hand should be providing the moisture, if it's the latter then I personally use the "ROHTO Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk", Personally, my absolute favourite, doesn't feel like sunscreen, doesn't look greasy, doesn't leave a white cast & completely sinks into the skin after a minute.

hmm interesting maybe ill switch up my moisturizer and see if that helps, thanks for the info!!

i wouldnt say i have serious acne, just blackheads mainly and the odd pimple, but since starting to use skincare products (around december) ive just been getting like deep cystic pimples at the corners of my jaw and some CCs i believe

self care sunday

Protopic saved me skin came back looking better than ever somehow

what’s your routine

Need recommendations on a face moisturizer

it's DIY and time consuming. but i aint got nowhere to be anyways

1 a minimal face wash for sensitive skin, 2 a DIY green clay mask + raw apple cider vinegar, 3 orange blossom water as a hydrating leave-on face toner (its running out, i wanna try rose water next), 4 prickly pear seed oil as an eye serum, 6 a DIY vitamin c serum and 7 jojoba oil as a moisturizer.

miscellaneous: collagen powder, jade roller, sleep

Jesus lol but that’s 🔥

anyone try this? I bought this instead of PC 2% BHA because of availability. Which product is better would you guys say?

Also that niacinamide doing work fr

Great mask, one of the few that I actually own. However, it’s not really comparable to the PC 2% at that’s more of an excessive use whereas this should be used as a treatment mask, once a week at most.

good looks!!

Faded Topicals just came in the mail

I just started using this, i layer it on top of my daily moisturizer and it's godly
