My skincare routine has given me spots that now wont go away
0 helpful votes.
11th October 2024
I started using la roche posay skinacre months ago to help control my oily skin. I didn't have any spots at this point and my skin was ok apart from being oily. After using the products for a few months I developed a lot of spots and redness which was not going away. These spots are still not going away after stopping using the skincare for over a month now. New spots are also still appearing. The spots are coming up on my cheeks, forehead and around my nose.

Answer: The products you were using may not have been right for your skincare issues. Redness is a sign of inflammation which could be caused by over use of active ingredients such as salicylic acids, retinols or detergents.
This inflammation leads to water loss, dryness and flaking. The skin\'s response can be to over produce oil / sebum to correct the skin's disrupted pH When oil tries to emerge from the pores but hits a "lid" of tight, dry or flaky skin, the oils can build up, blocking the pores leading to formation of spots
I'd suggest using a simplified routine of a gentle, detergent-free face wash (make sure there is no sodium laureth suphate) or even a natural oil or creamy cleanser - massage gently into the skin for a minute then wash off with a clean face cloth and tepid water, rinse the cloth, repeat.
This will help to gently exfoliate the skin to release the Blocked Pores (click the next website page). Don't dry your face Apply a bland unfragranced moisturiser - look for creams that contain ceramides, omega essential fats or cholesterol to help repair skin barrier
