I have mostly clear and smooth skin except for bumps here and there but it looks like I have a face full of acne all over my cheeks, forehead, and chin due to PIE. I am currently on different so my skin is more sensitive and I am trying to find a good product to clear the spots without irritating my skin any further. I can’t use Niacinamide as my skin hates it and I don’t know what to do. Any recs?
Differin itself will help alleviate some of the post-acne marks. Additionally, sun protection is really important in preventing the PIH from worsening or becoming permanent, ideally, I’d look for an SPF 50+ and one that’s tinted
I’d probably hold off on adding any new products for the time being due to your skin sensitivities and allow your skin to acclimatize to the difference first.
I’ve been using Differin as well for around a month or two (I don’t remember when I started), and I recently added in azelaic acid to help with redness (not caused by the Differin) and hyperpigmentation from acne. I haven’t had any issues with using both, I use AA in the morning and Differin at night. It’s too soon for me to tell any results from the AA but it doesn’t hurt to try it if your skin can handle it
Azelaic acid (Skinoren), moisturizer, Sunscreen SPF50 in the morning. Faded my PIE
