Hi everyone! I wanted to open up a discussion about our skincare journeys, especially around dealing with hormonal breakouts and the stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that often follows. I know many of us face similar challenges, so I thought it would be great to create a supportive space for sharing experiences and advice.
Personally, I’ve had success with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to keep breakouts under control. However, managing oiliness and the resulting scars has been a tough balancing act for me. I tend to favor lightweight moisturizers since heavier products can feel overwhelming on my skin.
I’m eager to hear what products or routines you all swear by! Have you found any effective strategies for handling oily skin while also addressing breakouts? What has worked for you in fading scars? Let’s learn from each other and find what helps!
