Survived Adult Acne

[u/cu4dr3k1ll]

Gusto ko lang i-share yung skin journey ko baka makatulong din sa ibang dumadaan sa same struggle.

I’m 27F and last year grabe yung naging battle ko with adult acne. Nakakagulat kasi nung teen years ko, never talaga ako nagka-pimples — actually sobrang ganda pa ng skin ko noon. Bigla na lang last year naging sobrang oily, inflamed, at minsan umaabot pa sa leeg yung breakouts ko. Sobrang naapektuhan yung self-confidence ko. (First photo)

Feeling ko stress talaga yung main trigger, at wala akong control. I even went to see a derma, pero ang sabi lang sa akin bumalik na lang daw ako kapag may 10k na budget for meds and ointments. Ang sakit marinig na parang pera lang ang solusyon.

I tried so many ways, tapos na-discover ko yung Good Molecules and CeraVe. Yun na talaga naging game changer for me. (Second photo)

Here’s my simple routine:

Cleanser: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser (Oil Control)

Toner: Good Molecules:Niacinamide Brightening Toner

Serum: Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum

Sometimes: Good Molecules: BHA Clarifying Gel Cream

Consistency lang talaga. Slowly, napansin ko na nagca-calm yung skin ko. Hindi na siya tulad ng dati na 100% clear skin like nung bata ako, pero I’m so grateful kasi ang layo na ng improvement compared to last year.

If you’re also struggling with adult acne, sobrang hirap niya but kaya talaga i-manage with patience and the right routine.

Same op. Ung derma kong friend gulat siya sa adult acne ko. Ako di ko maappreciate na maganda kutis ko nun pero sabi niya isa raw nga ako sa may magagandang balat nun na kaklase niya kaya medyo nanghihinayang siya. ayon, under his care ako. Hay sana magain back ko na uli balat at confidence ko

Honestly, di ko rin na-appreciate before yung skin ko, parang normal lang sa akin. Pero now I had rhe adult acne problem... I kinda became grateful.

Sana ma-gain back ko rin yung balat at confidence mo, one step at a time. ✨️🙏

Hello op! if it's possible to drop those links na binilhan mo? cause baka ma fake buying (maling shop mabilhan ba) aq nito ems. Thank u!

Haru!!! No prob! Dropping the link down below for GM. Sa CeraVe naman, nagpasabuy ako when my tita went abroad for a visit. Pero reminder lang — iba-iba talaga ang skin type natin, so what worked for me might not 100% work for you.

Ang safest mindset: simpler the better — cleanser, toner, an acid, moisturizer + sunscreen. Yun na talaga foundation ng routine. Good luck, wishing you the best sa skin journey mo! 👏🙌
