About Acne + PIH? Ain't nobody got time for that
Description
I have been using Duac Gel which contains Clindamycin (an anti-biotic) and Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) every night for nearly a month. It has cleared up my acne but I am left with Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH).
To counter this I have switched to using Duac in the AM and using the following ingredients at night:
Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun: Geek and Gorgeous C-Glow: Contains 15% vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Tue/Thu/Sat: Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Night Serum (0.01% retinaldehyde)
Cycling on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun
Good Molecules Discolouraton Serum: ( Niacinamide & Cetyl Tranexamate Hcl (a derivative of tranexamic acid)
Topicals Faded: (Kojic acid, Melatonin, Azelaic acid & niacinamide)
These two products while not identical are supposed to do the same things. I am still testing to see which is more effective and suitable for my sensitive skin. So on days that I do not use retinol, I use either one or the other (NEVER BOTH).
Once I finish my Duac prescription (another 2 months to go) I will change up the routine again
