I noticed I don’t get big acnes but this product is giving me small tiny something like hives, pustules I don’t know it looks like those. 

Is this a sign to stop using it?

CICA Rescue Calming Cleanser

I’m really frustrated you guys 😭 I’ve been suffering from my acnes for 6 years. It was healed when I’m at my 10th Grade but came back much worse on January 2020. 

My only treatment before was Benzoyl Peroxide, but when my acnes came back and I’ve applied the same treatment, I think my skin got immuned to Benzoyl which I think is the reason why it doesn’t work anymore (?) 


My acne’s commonly located, both of my cheeks, when it’s the process of healing, another pimple would just form 😭


I’ve tried the LUXE REPUBLIC CICA CALMING SERUM but I think it’s not good to combined it with a COSRX Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser because it caused my skin to be red, but it’s not itchy. It’s just so red 😭 to the point like I just came from being too long in the sun when in fact I’m not because I’m just in our house.

I don’t know what to do anymore, I would like to go to a dermatologist because whenever I look at my acne scar, it really runs deep in different layers of my skin, maybe that’s the reason it doesn’t just go so easily because it runs deep but going to a derma means must have the money 😭 


My acne’s hormonal, one of the reason why it’s difficult to fully cure 😭

Help me, in any way you guys, educate me on what’s fit for my skin type.

Frustration

Hey, Guys so I’ve been using this cleanser for more than two weeks now, the changes I’ve notice is yes it doesn’t lessen the oil on my face but I’ve notice my face is red. Am I allergic? It’s not itchy though, it’s just my face is red.

COSRX Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser

There are times that I would lose hope, inherited hormonal acne is just hard to treat, it has been active for the past 6 years up until now. 

It got to a point where I don’t eat, I just drink water just to lessen it. I have also changed my lifestyle like sleeping early, drinking water the moment I wake up then once in awhile on that day I’d drink a lot of water. I have already stopped intaking sodas and other meals/foods that is high in sugar. I also workout and the moment I’m done, I immediately go for a bath just to avoid whatever bacteria it is of my sweat.

I’ve gone to a derma before when I had a extreme allergy due to the product I’ve used, I was scolded by my derma hehe, but I’ve stopped visiting the derma because I lived five hours away from Davao City, so yeah, it’s hard.

I think I’ve inherit this from my father since My Mom doesn’t get pimples when she’s in her teens. 

Whenever before and after that time of my month, new pimple would form.

Been using a lot of products, and there’s this one of the product prescribed by my derma that actually work and stopped my active acne for a short time but when I’ve stoped using it, my acnes came back. I think one of the cause that time was my eating habit and sleep routine. 

Though I’m planning to visit a derma because I’ve been suffering this almost 7 years and it’s not getting better. It’s either my condition will get worse or just maintain being red, active and new formulation of pimples every month before and after menstruation. But it’s hard to visit one during this time of pandemic. And I lived five hours away from the last time I’ve visit one. 


It has been greatly affected my teenage years hahah, like I don’t come to school gatherings because I’m embarrassed of my mild to sever acne. I sometimes don’t go to family gatherings with the same reason. 

I’m not close with my siblings, I’m not close with my parents. I told my mom that this acne isn’t easy to cure because it’s inherited/hormonal. But she just scolds me anyway. 

What I’m thankful is, I will soon be living on my own to gether with a friend for college hehe, maybe I’d find a part time and if ever my budget would be enough for me to visit a derma 🙃

This acne cannot be treated easily and I think I need to seek professional help, hoping to find one that would really help me and not just for the money they would get from the consultantion 😔

Scared To Take Risk

So before I purchased the Luxe Organix CICA Cleanser, Soothing Gel and Calming Serum. I first check if the ingredients is good for my skin and yes, the three products I’ve purchased online are Holy Grail for my skin type. I hope this lessens my active acne and pimples. 

I’m planning to purchased the niacinamide but brands from Luxe Organix and The Ordinary has bad ingredients for my Oily/Sensitive Skin and I am scared to take the risk hehe.

 I’ll comeback to give reviews for the CICA Cleanser and Soothing Gel. I already gave a review for their Calming Serum, I’ve noticed that my skin is glowing whenever I’m using that Serum. I did not breakout but I still do got new pimples before and after menstruation and I’ve understood the fact that my acne is not easy to treat because it’s also inherited & hormonal. 

I’ve been thinking taking pills to somewhat control the hormonal imbalance thingy but don’t know what pill to take lol and maybe imma ask a professional before taking such pills hehe.

Purchased CICA Line

Though there are still days that I have pimples whenever it’s my time of the month.

I have been using this product for months now, it help me lessen my pimples.

As of now, it doesn’t have any side effect for me.

Note: that not all skin type is the same, this may work for me and not for you. So, better listen to your body says and how it react to different kimd of products.

I have an acne-prone skin due to my oily&#47;sensitive skin type. 

I have been using this product for awhile now and in the first three days of using this product, I can see that despite the acne marks I have, I can see that my skin is glowing and well-moisturized. 

I also noticed that, whenever I have new pimple  coming up, I just apply spot treatment at night and in the morning when I woke up, the pimple that was about to grow is calming down. 

In my situation, I have a growing pimple (It is red, and hurt a little bit). Then apply the serum on that pimple. Sleep early and then the next morning, my pimple is calming down.

What I’ve noticed by using this cleanser for a month, there are times it causes my face to be red. But I’ve partnered it with Luxe Organix CICA Soothing Gel, to calm the redness.

This cleanser has been keeping me acne-free.

It does leave a mark of patch but you can just wash it off. It also comes off when your face is sweating, the patch will come off that’s why apply this only at night.

I really like this pimple patch.  It has 48 pcs for PHP 200 on Wattsons. I really think its worth the price because its hydrocolloid. 

Whenever I have a painful pimple, I just applied it at night then the next morning it doesnt hurt anymore and it is less inflamed the reason why ai prefer this pimple patch than COSRX Pimple Patch.
