Hi everyone, I would like to ask for a couple of recommendations on how to change/supplement my skin care protocol. I will be grateful for any advice.
From what I use:
Cleanser - CeraVe Foaming ( NTOS )
Acne Gel - ( Adapalene 0.1% & BPO 2.5% )
Moisturizing Cream
Azelaic Acid 20%
SPF - Beauty Of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ PA++++
Among dietary supplements, I take Zinc gluconate, ~12.5 mg
Six months ago, I had an appointment with a dermatologist, and in his conclusion, he wrote: “Papulopustular acne / moderate severity” — and recommended some products (I didn’t buy half of them because I thought he was trying to sell me something, since all the products he prescribed as treatment were from the same manufacturer — he chose them from a pre‑prepared list). Now, after 2-3 months of treatment, there’s almost no acne left — just a few isolated pimples; everything else is post‑acne marks: red or purple areas, or small scars.
I want to add something to this whole routine, but I don’t know what, or whether it’s even necessary. I see so many different cream options — from estriol to hypochlorous acid, retinol, various dietary supplements, etc., but I don’t know what they do.
I don’t even know what else to write. In general, I’ll be waiting for your advice. Thank you all.
