My doctor said I shouldn’t use some of the things I’ve been using from Paula’s choice. Bha, aha. My face isn’t in great shape. I have continuous breakouts on my chin. Are you using anything you love?
BHA is a no-no, as well as retinol. I've done the research and a gentle AHA used topically, like lactic acid, is okay.
I use Clinique Take the Day Off to remove makeup, and Cerave to cleanse. Currently using The Ordinary 10% lactic acid a couple times a week to exfoliate. Clinique gel moisturizer to moisturize, and I mix this with a drop or two of facial oil at night for extra moisture.
-Clinique take the day off balm -Cerave hydrating facial cleanser or the cerave SA cleanser if I have a breakout (okayed by my OB since it’s not on the skin long) -cerave moisturizing cream (in the tub) -skinceuticals hydrating b5 gel if I’m feeling extra dry
I was using skinceuticals ce ferulic but it was breaking me out 😔
My skin took a hit during the first trimester - the worst of all my pregnancies. I've been using herbivore and drunk elephant. Skin is definitely improved (I'm at 20 weeks)...I'm thinking it's more that I'm past the first trimester than any product I'm using....
