You read the title right.
I am applying tretinoin on my face every night so naturally it tends to become very dry. Without putting a moisturiser my skin will break.
The problem is, I naturally have a very very oily skin. And what happens is after the shower the skin is super dry, I put moisturiser, and then some hours pass and my natural oil comes through and my face starts to look disgusting, super shiny and greasy. This is a problem specially now that summer is upon us and sweat is added to the mixture (I live in Europe).
I’m currently using CeraVe products to moisturise my face, and I realize that maybe this is not the right call for my face. Do you guys know a good and cheap alternative I can use and that I’m able to get in Portugal?
Kind regards
Have you tried from La roche is a great option. cicaplast
I tried this because I’d heard so much about it but I found that it was too thick and creamy, and that it left a temporary white cast.
I broke my skin barrier recently and was using this —would have to reapply to parts of my face while at work and I looked strange having a white cast around random parts of my face :/
Yeah I wouldn’t use this during the day. It’s more something you would put on before going to bed after using an actual moisturiser to lock it in.
