one week skin update
I actually cant believe that my skin is healing so fast! first set of pics are day 0, second is yesterday at day 7. seriously so happy this is working. currently my routine looks like this morning: cleanse with just water, dapsone, tower28 sos skin barrier recover cream. night: cleanse with cerave sensitive, dapsone, tower28 sos skin barrier recover cream. i did use a light exfoliant last night because i had so much dry skin like legit shedding but it wasnt irritated after or anything. and i take oracea x2 a day. i just need to chill because im getting my hopes up i might see a complete clearing of my acne for the first time since before puberty which would be insane. truly ive never had clear skin but i assumed i would at 25 (clearly not) but hoping to get there soon :)
ps big nose alert sorry i hate it too

Skincare routines can vary significantly among individuals, with each regimen tailored to specific skin types and concerns. Many users battling acne find helpful advice in community forums and peer reviews of products. Dapsone, as a topical treatment, has shown efficacy in reducing inflammation and acne lesions for some individuals; consistently applying it, as shared in personal updates, often leads to improved skin health. Additionally, incorporating gentle exfoliants can assist in managing dry skin, especially when shedding occurs. However, caution is essential to prevent irritation. Another notable mention is the role of lifestyle factors such as diet, hydration, and stress management in skincare success. Users often document their experiences on platforms like Lemon8 to connect with others undergoing similar challenges. Remember to consult a dermatologist for tailored advice, particularly when considering medications like Oracea, known for combating acne through oral administration. This comprehensive approach helps cultivate an informed and supportive skincare community.
