OVER-THE-COUNTER products transformed a beauty enthusiast’s skin after years of suffering from hormonal acne. They shared the skincare routine that visibly transformed their skin in just one week. They took to Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum writing under the name Noiresilk to share how they cleared their acne.
“I've suffered from hormonal acne since my early teens, so recently I was experimenting with new products (African Black Soap and a lot of random moisturizers) and my skin had a meltdown,” they said. “I was breaking out everywhere, including all across my forehead which normally never happens. “I switched back to my previous routine of 2.
5% BP cleanser and Cerave moisturizer, and my skin STILL would not clear up.” The Redditor said they were planning to see a dermatologist as after two months they still didn’t see an improvement in their skin. However, they first decided to experiment again because their skin “could not get any worse.
” “I had a jar of Noxzema Cleansing Cream lying around and mixed my BP cleanser into the jar, lol,” they said. “I layered it on like a mask and let it sit for around 5-10 minutes, then I washed it off with a clean washcloth. “My skin looked and felt better just after one use but I still had residue left on my skin from the cream so I went in with a cotton round and some Witch Hazel then moisturized with Garnier Skin Active Aloe Moisturizer.
“Overnight I used these pimple patches from Alba Botanica on any act.
