Re: Favourite/HG Skincare

SKIN TYPE: Technically combination, but the oily parts (which is most of my face, cheeks and forehead) are very oily and prone to clogged pores (not *true* acne); while the dry parts (nose and chin) seldom even require a moisturizer. My skin also tends to be a little sensitive and will get irritated when I use too many products or use strong doses of acne medication, so as you'll see I tend to use gentle products and low doses of medications.... I quit using prescription acne medications about two months ago, so I'm still experimenting a little, but so far the products I've been using work almost as well as the much more expensive prescriptions! Anyway to get on with it...

CLEANSER: Right now, Biore Shine-Control Foaming Cleanser. However I'm not noticing much of a difference in shine so I may go back to my Cetaphil cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin. I use one of these cleansers every morning.

TONER: None

MOISTURISER (day and/or night): On the rare occasion I get dry spots of skin, Cetaphil moisturizer works great. I don't use it on a regular basis though. (My dermatologist told me to just use moisturizer if my skin was dry, so I still stick to that.)

EYE CREAM: None

EXFOLIATOR: Cetaphil bar soap with a Buf Puf sponge in Gentle texture. I use this every night to cleanse and exfoliate. Recommended by my dermatologist!

ACNE TREATMENT: Stridex for Sensitive Skin (0.5% salicyclic acid), morning and night. I may need to add some benzoyl peroxide (2.5 - 5%) to my routine soon if the Stridex doesn't cut it, but lately I've only had a few blemishes.

MASK: None, I already clean and exfoliate my poor skin enough!
