[Doxycycline+ Tretinoin Progress] Day 5

Last night was my first night with Tretinoin, I felt my skin was a lot oilier when I woke up this morning, no major significant change except I feel my skin being a teeny tiny bit smoother looking.

The uneasy feeling of taking Doxycycline has significantly decreased as I am getting used to it.

My eczema seems to calmed down a lot more, I’ve taken allergy pills before I go to bed for two days. No red neck marks!

I’ve added calcium supplements into my diet; I have to make sure I don’t take it 2 hours before or after I take Doxycycline because it decreases the effectiveness of Doxycycline. I usually remember to take it during lunch time

Throughout the day I did not feel too oily, maybe its due to me wearing a primer along with a long wear foundation. Just got Paula’s Choice All Bases Covered Foundation SPF 25 because it has 0 Comedogenicity of 0 and only 1 for irritation. So I think I’m going to wear that tomorrow and see how my skin reacts to it. It supposed to be for Extra Sensitive Skin along with dry to very dry skin, which will come in handy when my skin gets super dry from Tretinoin. It has a SPF of 25, but I think I will still use my CeraVe am under it.

Here is my routine:

AM
CeraVe foaming wash
CeraVe am
Makeup

PM 
CeraVe foaming wash 
Wait for 20min 
Tretinoin 0.04% mix with CeraVe moisturizing Cream [on Tretinoin days] 
CeraVe moisturizing Cream [on the days that I am not using Tretinoin]

 Vichy Thermal Spa Water [here and there]
