Starting my acne treatment

📅 I went to the derm last week because of my persisting acne and these are the products she prescribed me. ⏳ I'll make sure to post updates in a few weeks/months as soon as any progress is visible! ❓ Do or did you use any of these products before? Did you like them? And also, are you currently on an acne treatment as well?

I haven’t tried any of these products before even tho I like Avène!~ I previously used adapalene 0.1% gel for my acne, and to help with its sides effects (irritation, redness...) i used Cicalfate+ from Avène or Cicaplast balm from LRP~ I wish u a good luck on your journey! Hope u will get amazing results 💛💛💛

Thank you so much 🥰 I'm experiencing some mild side effects, too, but I'm still managing them with vaseline on my dry and itchy areas 😅 Avène does look like an okay-ish brand to me, I don't like the fragrance their products contain tho. Especially the sunscreen I listed above (the tinted version) BURNS my skin upon application. :(

Avene cleansing gel is the worst, it has high pH and it caused me more acne, definitelly I do not recommend it. Galderma has great solutions for acne prone skin.

Well, my derm told me to use it so I don't really wanna mess with her about this tbh 😕 But I'm not really fond of that cleanser either, I just make sure not to cleanse too long with it. 🤷‍♀️

I used a few avene products after my derm prescribed it a few years ago and it broke me out really bad. It actually turned me off skincare for a while, so I'm a bit biased with that company. But my skin is a bit fickle anyway, so don'tlet that discourage you. I hope you get amazing results🤗

Thank you so much 🥰 Tbh, I also think it's weird that some derms prescribe several products from the same company... To me it feels as if they were sponsored by them 😅😂
