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 💛💛💛

I might try the sandwich method but tbh I'm thinking that the cleanser is more drying to my face than Epiduo 😂😂😂 I think I didn't read any reviews before buying the products but I did look at the INCI lists... I wasn't really fond of the fragrance but thought I should go on with it nonetheless because this was prescribed by a DERM, duh 😅 The sunscreen I'm talking about is called "Avène Cleanance SPF 50+ Tinted". Sadly, it's not listed here on Picky.

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 😅😂
