#cerave cleansers

CeraVe Cleansers (cetearyl alcohol)

I have an oily forehead and when i used CeraVe's Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, i started to break out there.

I was previously the Foaming Facial Cleanser from the same brand and didn't have any problems with it. I watched a video about the different CeraVe cleansers and didn't make any further research on my own (lesson now learnt).

Since my skin didn't react with the Foaming Facial Cleanser, maybe it was an old formula because the bottle was sitting in a cabinet for a while at home before i used it. I'm too scared to test if the new formula is still harmless because my forehead is healed now.

Now onto the main villain of this story. I hadn't made the link between my breakouts and the CeraVe Cream-to-Foam Cleanser until i saw an Instagram Reel about an ingredient that appears often in CeraVe products that basically helps fungal acne grow.

[Def. Fungal acne looks like small little red or white bumps of 1-2 mm often in clusters together. They look like fungi and often don't have whiteheads. (If they do, it's usually tiny - in my experience.) It usually appears in oily areas of your skin where yeast can grow like your forehead, temples, and hairline. Yeast can also grow in sweaty areas like your shoulders, back, and neck.]

[Def. I'm referring to whiteheads as the white dots that often appear in the middle of a pimple that contains pus. I am not referring to the small hard bumps that are usually the color of your skin (milia).]

Cetearyl alcohol | Cetyl alcohol | Stearyl alcohol

These assholes are the culprit. They act like food to fungal acne and the fungal acne becomes worse with it. Please check if any of your products contain these ingredients if you're struggling with fungal acne. After learning about this, i switched to a cleanser without any of these ingredients and the fungal acne was going away. At least try and stop using that product for a while and see how your skin reacts.

I feel like if you give your skin care routine in the comments you have to attach a picture of your face

[norma-jean-monster]

a lot of people say they love korean skincare products and they definitely have cute and appealing packaging but I'm a basic bitch who uses cerave so I'm not sure what the actual products would bring to the table for someone like me. feels like it's for folks way more into skincare than I am, idk.

Calling anyone with sensitive normal-to-dry skin: have you found a retinol that works on acne marks/scarring that doesn’t cause crazy breakouts?

EPISODE 1 : face care

Today's post is about: cleansers!

How to make your face appear healthier and clearer ?

✓set a strict skincare routine

Note : your skincare doesn't necessarily need to have up to 7 steps you can have a clear skin just by having a 3 steps skincare routine ( cleanser/soap + moisturizer/lotion + sunscreen)

Step 1 : cleanser

AM/PM (oily skin)

AM/PM (normal skin)

PM (use it first when double cleansing then gel cleanser) (for dry skin)

AM/PM (oily skin)

AM (all skin types especially oily and acne-prone)

AM/PM (all skin types)

AM and/or PM (all skin types) (you can use it with your regular face cleanser for better results)

I hope this has helped🫶

Comment your fav facial cleanser to help other people out !

no one asked but here's my skincare routine xx 🌚 (including pictures of all the products !)

i'm a teen with acne-prone slightly sensitive skin that gets oily by the end of the day🧖‍♀️

(i'm 99% sure i'm allergic to salicylic acid bc it didn't help with my breakouts/caused them so i avoid it in my routine❕)

as a makeup remover i use the elf holy hydration makeup melting balm 🚿

& a makeup eraser cloth 🧽

for stubborn waterproof eye makeup i use garnier skin active micellar cleaning water all-in-1 waterproof (aka the blue one) i have a huge bottle of it :)💧

(i want to start using reusable cotton rounds so pls lmk of any good brands !)

i just ran out but if i haven't worn makeup but my pores feel especially clogged i use the burt's bees oil cleanser 🥥 (you do have to double cleanse with a water based cleanser afterwards !)

for a daily water-based facial cleanser i use two different ones

the cerave foaming facial cleanser 🧼 "oil control" on the bottle is no joke ! i don't get oily in the day anymore bc of the niacinamide in this :)

but it can be a little drying/strong so i mix it with the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser 🛁

i use this really cheap & generic silicone face scrubber for my nostrils/chin/sideburn-hairline area 🧽

once a week i use this scrub pixi peel and polish its a mask with physical and chemical exfoliants

it smells like lemon cucumber water🥒 and can also be used for body acne on the chest, back, & arms !!

once a week i use an AHA chemical exfoliant it's elf supertone toner 🌝 it has glycolic acid and is has a little bit of a lemony scent

what i use as a daily toner is thayer's rose-scented witch hazel spray 💌 it calms down any redness i have instantly !

i used to use the cerave daily moisturizing lotion but it was a little oily and it was impossible to apply makeup on 🧘 so now i use it on my hands before doing my facial moisturizer

and for that i use a mix of elf holy hydration gel-yeah moisturizer and elf holy hydration face cream 💦 it's pretty self-explanatory but the former is a clear gel and the latter is a white cream, i adjust the proportions for my moisture needs :) ⛲️

in the winter or if my face feels dry or in need of healing i use clinique moisture surge overnight face mask 🦪

"mask" is a little misleading as you just apply it with your moisturizer like any other lotion 🧴 it's super hydrating, it's a little expensive but i got it as a gift and a little goes a long way ! :)

after a breakout has healed completely i use a little bio oil on top of my moisturizer to fade any dark spots/scars 🐚

after i shower and exfoliate my lips i use this random lip mask from bath and body works that's watermelon scented 🍉 it's thick (a little goes a long way) and yummy

i also use smith's rosebud salve in this tin 🌹 it's like a nice scented vaseline

i don't use it all the time bc it's expensive but i love the mario badescu caffeine eye cream💆it's so good for my sunken dark circles ! but avoid getting it in your eye and keeping it in the bathroom bc it curdles if it gets too hot from shower steam

for active acne spots i use might patch pimple patches 🩹regular for whiteheads and micropoint ones for swollen spots under the skin

those are pretty expensive so for smaller spots i use mario badescu drying lotion overnight 🫧

i'm pretty bad at remembering sunscreen in the morning but i just got the glow recipe dew balm with spf 45 and niacinamide 🌸 i love the glow and the light fruity scent :)

i do want mention that my life-saver game-changer for stopping cystic acne (those painful lumps deep in the skin) and just acne in general has been hormonal birth control pills ! after i started BC for pcos/hormonal reason all of my breakouts decreased significantly🪽

tysm for reading !! 🕊️ xx
