Differin Update 7

End of Differin Week 9

I don't know where I should start because the past week has been overwhelming. To be exact yesterday and today. If you follow my acne journey from the start, you might know that I had a dermatologist appointment with a government funded hospital yesterday (Khoo Teck Phuat Hospital). But I shall break down week 9 for me to comprehend better on what has been happening.

Early Week 9

End of week 8 my skin was at a pretty bad state. I've gained a couple of new big pustules pimples that even makeup could not hide it. It was such a setback for me because I thought things were getting better. However last week I narrowed down that maybe it might be a cycle or my Cerave moisturizer. 

I had a couple of events last week so I pretty much wear full makeup on those days. Really felt uncomfortable though. I wore Estee Double Wear but only one layer. I made sure to use clean tools only. And also... eliminate my moisturizer completely. 

However I noticed some tiny white head pimples pops up around the perimeter of my face. Especially cheeks and hairline. So I thought my towel was he cause of it. Because I usually wrap them in a way that hit those spots. So... changed into new towel.

Late Week 9

Come Saturday, I noticed no more new pimples. Except my forehead which I believe is still purging from the CCs I have. And also I want to note that I bought a new foundation which is light weight and non-comedogenic. Laniege Pore Control Cushion. It has fragrance though. But for my work that is starting next week, this is the best I can make do. More on that later..

Anyway I used it on Saturday and Sunday but only a few hours. Fortunately, no new pimples yet.

Let me conclude this week by saying my skin is way better thank it has ever been. I'll talk about my Derm appt in another post because it will get long.
