So I got cystic acne out of nowhere. Plus comodones. Couldn't figure out where I went wrong. And my skin is oily and quite resilient. Too resilient in some ways 🙄 I was using quite a few products as well. But had been using them for quite some time. Decided to stop using everything altogether. Just washing my face with CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser. And my face isn't back to normal but it's somewhat getting better. Less comodones and cystic acne is leaser. And LESS OILY????!!!! And I was honestly so confused. Cause earlier the cleanser didn't work for me at all. But now it's okay and doesn't leave a slightly soapy residue like it did before. Which was another reason for me to stop using it. I know we're all skincare enthusiasts and no one's a dermatologist but has this happened to anyone before? Or any dermatologist here that can give me an answer? 😅 
Cleanser below so you guys would know what it is.

Skincare break got my skin better?

So I've been having cystic acne, closed comodones and breakouts. As a result of too many products I believe 😐 * sigh * 
So I've been trying to keep things simple as possible and haven't been using anything at all for these days. But now trying to introduce things slowly. And I absolutely love Lacto Calamine creams and stuff and I came across their new Hydra Intense cream. This is from Morrisons. And also their Lacto Calamine cream. I've tagged both of them below. Do any of y'all know about it? Any experience? Anything to help?

South Asian pickys I need your helppppp! Or anyone with the knowledge on Lacto Calamine creams 😬

Hello everyone. Dermaplaned a few days ago and just wanted to know, how soon I should introduce retinol back to my routine? Any ideas?

Meet my newest favourite saviour ❤️
Started a couple of weeks back after trying their exfoliating body gel, of which I'll do a seperate review, and seeing positive feedback from their customers. Sri Lankan brands up until now never impressed me much, but man was I wrong about this! 
And you can use it both on face and body to treat body acne as well! Two birds from one stone! 😉

It is a deep cleansing gel that's suitable for all skin types that targets acne, oily skin, clogged pores and acne scars as well.

I was skeptical at first. Cleansers although necessary for the skincare routine hadn't done a lot for me. But this was indeed a true miracle. My scars were fading after two weeks. And I mean my most stubborn scars were also fading where I could see a clear difference 😍 You can use it daily as it's not harsh and quite nice on the skin as well.

1% salicylic acid and turmeric 
Turmeric has been known for its skin healing and brightening properties since the old ages and salicylic acid is among the best ingredients to use on acne-prone skin. You might purge a little in the beginning but it'll soon stop 😄

It was soothing and very hydrating to the skin and I loved it. My skin would feel quite hydrated and damp after applying 

Did nothing for my skin. My skin would feel bruised and as if I have micro tears on it 

Wasn't as effective as it was for others. But my skin is known to be like that so I don't blame it 

The marks did clear up but my congested pores never disappeared unfortunately 

No difference at all in my undereye dark areas. It didn't do any good for those 

It was cooling and will work fine to reduce puffiness and bring some soothing sensation to the undereye areas
