Reaction to silicones or retinol?
So I grabbed a bunch of products during the last Paula’s Choice 20% off sale, and thought finally my skin would become as close to perfect as possible but things are not going to plan! I had previously used her cleanser, toner and 2% bha with excellent results, but when I added a moisturiser and serum (both containing silicone) I seemed to get tonnes of blackheads 🙁 Problem is I have been trialling bits and pieces from the Priceline skincare bag too, so I don’t actually know what’s causing them. I assumed it was silicones because I was suddenly using a bunch of products with them in, having previously used them only sporadically. I stopped all silicone products for a few days, but now have this strange bumpy feeling to my skin, like my skin is rough? I thought perhaps that could be caused by the retinol in the moisturiser I switched to, to avoid the silicone. I hate not knowing what is causing these problems and having my dreams of clear skin whisked away from me, when I was so close! Anyone else had similar reactions or have a good plan for getting my skin back on track and finding the culprits?
