so it’s been about a week with these guys and trying to recover from my horrid acne flare up… i switched to the soon Jung cleanser because vanicream cleanser has given me literally the worst skin texture of my life (CCs and white heads everywhere.) pls keep in mind i’ve only been using these for about a week night and day so YMMV
Etude House Soon Jung 6.5 Whip Cleanser:
– i like the whip consistency, it’ll prolly last for a while, it is a little drying tho (and i’m currently not using moisturizer because they all break me out..?)
– i can’t tell if it’s making my acne worse or better tho, i’ve seen a couple small whiteheads pop up but i can’t tell if that’s leftover wrath from the vanicream cleanser (might just switch back to cetaphil daily cleanser)
Pyunkang Yul ATO Soothing Gel Lotion
– really nice gel cream consistency, seems to soak right in, good for skin on the oilier side (i have oily/combo skin)
– unfortunately DISCOVERED that i must be sensitive to Butylene Glycol… because this caused 2-3 cysts for me… never gotten cystic acne in my life (and i’ve only had two breakouts before). this is the first product i’ve used with BG in it and it’s pretty high up on the ingredient list. apparently this reaction is very uncommon so again YMMV i’d recommend it to those with oily skin who know they aren’t sensitive to Butylene Glycol :)) it should be good for sensitive skin too, it’s literally used on babies
anyway, literally rinsed my face with aloe vera gel (Earths Daughter) this morning because it seems my skin can’t really handle anything without giving me a couple zits or a full break out (niacinamide, squalane, vitamin C, alcohols (even the fatty ones) silicones and probably oils). i’m so over this y’all ☠️ my skin used to tolerate everything (i don’t even have a damaged barrier i don’t use active) i got Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station moisturizer ordered but looks like i’ll be without moisturizer until then …again ://
