Why I’m switching cleansers

For a few years I’ve been using the CeraVe acne cleanser, which helped a bit but my acne persisted. The past week, I’ve been using the Neutrogena Stubborn Acne cleanser and I’ve noticed my acne already clearing up! This is because I switched from a Salicylic Acid treatment to a Benzoyl peroxide treatment.

Salicylic acid works best clearing pores and acne like black and whiteheads, while Benzoyl peroxide works best clearing cystic and bacteria-caused acne! So if you’ve been using an acne cleanser but with no progress, it could be the wrong type of acne cleanser for you!

Favorite Cleanser ✨
I’ve been using Monistat for yearsssss and I love it. Before that I was using Honey Pot but honestly I wasn’t feeling the foam cleansers after they sold the company. Excited to try the VH Essentials!

Popular Cleansers I Avoid for Acne
Just because a cleanser is trending doesn’t mean it’s good for acne-prone skin. These popular picks actually made my skin worse clogged pores, irritation, breakouts you name it. Always listen to YOUR skin, not the hype. #acnesafeproducts #skincare #acneproducts #skin #products for acne

I can’t stop playing with this cleanser 🫧
I usually avoid jar cleansers because they irritate my skin — but this one actually surprised me! 🌾💚 The @Arencia Mochi Rice Cleanser leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean, and sooo smooth without drying it out. #Arencia #ArenciaMochiCleanser #skincare #oilyskin #ugc

are face cleansers worth spending more on?
I need opinions!! I always thought investing in a higher end facial cleanser would be more beneficial for my skin but I also tried cheaper cleansers and they seem to work the exact same…are they even worth spending more money on? help a girl out, I wanna know your thoughts on this! #lemon8par

Toxic vs. non-toxic for your home ⚠️ Most homes have hidden chemicals in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and even the laundry room. Switching to safer products cuts down on fragrances, dyes, and harsh cleaners that can bother your skin, lungs, and hormones. Small swaps make a big difference beca

How I repaired my skin barrier ✨🤍
Okay so I did not fix my skin by buying more actives 😭 I actually made it worse for a bit. My skin was red, tight, randomly breaking out, and just felt irritated all the time. I thought I needed stronger products… but I really just needed to calm down and let my skin breathe. What helped me:

Looking at my before pictures, my face wasn’t as bad as I thought it was but I still wanted improvement. I have hormonal acne, so I got pimples here and there but nothing too bad like I used to get about 3-4 years ago. My main thing was continuing to improve my discoloration and possibly preventing
