I am scared to mention this, in case I jinx the very agreeable circumstances in which I now find myself, but: My skin has been giving me a LOT less trouble in the last week or so. This also happens to coincide with when I started using some DermaQuest Acne Management products. I don’t know if one week of use is enough time for products to make such a significant difference, but so far, I’m pretty pleased.
(I should also note that, as much as my skin stresses me out, a lot of people compliment me on it and claim not to see what I perceive to be hideous blemishes. Let’s just say that I know things could be a lot worse, but it doesn’t always feel that way.)
I’ve been cleansing morning and evening with the DermaQuest Beta Hydroxy Cleanser, followed by Nature’s Cure Pore-Perfecting Papaya Toner, the DermaQuest DermaClear serum, then either Chanel Fluide Énergisant Multi-Protection Hale Progressif SPF 15 (in the morning), Nature’s Cure Acne-Repairing Papaya Moisturizer (at night), or Dermalogica Medicated Clearing Gel (if a flare-up seems to be on the horizon). All of the products except the DermaQuest are ones I’ve been using in various rotations for the last few months, and I’ve never noticed the sort of marked improvement that I have recently. Long may my good fortune continue.
NOTE: All of the products mentioned in this post, except for the Dermalogica Medicated Clearing Gel (which I bought myself), were freebies sent to me by the PRs for DermaQuest, Chanel, and Nature’s Cure.
