Routine for reference:
AM: rinse, sunscreen (that online moisturisers enough) PM: cleanse, sometimes BHA (tried varying the frequency), retinol, moisturise
I’ve become frustrated because I still get clogged pores, every single pore on and beside my nose is black, my entire chin is white gooey pores. So I eased off and put the BHA and retinol on hiatus, and the painful cystic pimples came back, along with even more clogged pores. I really need them gone to keep me from picking at my skin.
So, anyone else been there?
Anyone got any tips? Yes, I wash my pillowcases, sleep enough, drink enough (if anything too much) water, eat well.


Cleansing twice made me dry and flaky. My water is excellent, but it might be too hard, I’ll look into that!
You might need a cleanser doesn’t strip your skin as much.
It’s the gentlest I’ve been able to find! Says ultra sensitive, barrier protecting, pH balance
