My Skincare Journey: How I Improved My Acne

My face was soooo bad just 6mo ago but my dermatologist put me on Metronidazole .75% face gel & an antibiotic doxycycline 50mg. I finished the doxycycline & now am prescribed it only for flares. Every morning I use: •micellar cleansing rose water •the metronidazole gel •mineral sunscreen (Bare Republic 50spf) (I don’t wear as nearly as much as I should) •a sun hat (I haven’t been wearing them since it got colder: I’ve been wearing beanies) Every evening I use: •micellar cleansing rose water •the metronidazole gel When I shower(maybe 2x/wk) I use: •cetephil deep cleansing facial bar (instead of the micellar cleansing rose water) I would like to start a moisturizer, and an actual face cleanser for the night. But I thought I’d share what has worked for me so far! It’s not perfect! It may seem too basic, but this was a struggle for me, and I’m proud!!
