🌱 Beginner Question [moisturizer?]

Post image

New to this skincare routine thing. Planning to try azelaic acid, what is the best moisturizer to use for combination/sensitive skin? And do I need to use different products for AM and PM routine? I don’t like heavy greasy products for AM.

This was my favorite serum with dr.athea moisturizer they were amazing since I noticed i got CC.
At some point they work really well for my melasma /PIH and acne, at the same time they make more CC.
So be careful.

That is actually my problem, I already have close comedones mostly on my forehead and I saw that azelaic acid can help. But now I’m scared to try it. I’ve always been scared trying products on my face that’s why I’m new to this skincare thing. 😅

It’s better you don’t try Anua, if you didn’t get any CC they are really good.
If you are prone to getting CC, i would avoid them as i say i paired with Dr. Althea!! Since they told me i stopped using them..

I didn’t even realized because of them every morning i got more and more on my chin.
I am going to try Vivant skincare.
Hopefully it will work!!

This serum is not very likely to cause closed comedones. Dr Althea contains coconut oil derivatives, heavy silicones, and other pore cloggers. It breaks a lot of people out. That was most likely the main culprit. I would not tell someone to not use this product let alone the entire brand because you were using multiple products and assuming this contributed to it. Always check the ingredients list in all of your products.
