Thanks for this post. It was super informative. Unfortunately, I live outside of the U.S; for that reason, it is very hard to find the products you mentioned above. What do you think about Bioderma’s line Sebium Mat control ?

In reply to Maria. I know this is VERY old, but I wanted to share this here for anybody who may have the same problem in the future. Cetaphil has always broken me out. I believe it’s the cetearyl alcohol in my case because any products with that break me out, but according to cosdna.com there are at least 3 potentially acne causing ingredients in their gentle skin cleanser. (Highly recommend using this site to look up your products ingredients if you have acne prone skin. Everybody reacts different to products but it at least helps having a general guideline.) Once I stopped using it my skin cleared up. Hope this helps!

In reply to Maria. Maria, yes, you do have Paula's Choice but I think you can only buy online at paulaschoice.co.uk? You can choose any of their BHA exfoliant but if your skin is very sensitive, I'd opt for CALM Redness Relief 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant.

In reply to Maria. Maria, I'm so sorry to hear about your problem. It's rare that people react badly to salicylic acid but it can happen. First of all, you have to make sure that's the culprit. Try eliminating it from your skincare routine and see if the problem gets better. If it does getter, you need to look at other options to treat your acne, such as tea tree oil. Hope this helps.

I’ve started using the Salicylic Acid treatment by Paula’s Choice, and my acne has gotten somewhat worse. I’m getting red spots all over my forehead, and an angry rash of tiny little spots with transparent heads that are sore to the touch. It’s clearing up blackheads, but it’s also making my acne worse. I’m not using rich moisturisers – I use a light hyaluronic acid serum and a light moisturiser by Ren, but the breakouts persist. I only use the acid once a day, and don’t use any scrubs. My cleanser is Cetaphyl, which I started using at the same time, but I’ve noticed that it contains Alcohols – which may or may not be the culprit. Either way, I’m at a loss as to what to do with my skin. My face is bumpy and covered in spots from trying to treat spots.
