I Finally Tried CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser! Here’s My 1 Week Experience!

I picked up CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser! I’ve been thinking about trying this cleanser out for ages! I mean, years. I’ve read about it and heard good things about it. I’ve also seen pretty bad reviews on it too. Like how this cleanser gave people acne. 😲 The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser was constantly on my mind. But, my experience with CeraVe products (cleansers in this case) have been pretty bad. I’ve tried the Hydrating Facial Cleanser and Foaming Facial Cleanser. Both of these cleansers did not cleanse my skin well. They both left residue on my skin, and I ended up breaking out in acne. I tried the Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser too. With this cleanser also, it didn’t clean my skin well and did nothing for my acne. What a waste. Now I’m using the Renewing SA Cleanser. Here are my day to day thoughts on this cleanser. I wonder if I’ll last a week. By the way, my previous cleanser is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel with Hyaluronic Acid Fragrance Free. Don’t forget to check out my review on that product! A new update on it coming up soon! The reason why I’m using CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser now is because I wanted something less drying. Yeah, so weird because the Renewing SA Cleanser has salicylic acid in it. But, it also contains ceramides to moisturize the skin. Neutrogena doesn’t have any of that.

Let’s start! Here’s my first day experience!

Day 1:

I started using the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser at night. I debated for hours before taking the plunge. I was so hesitant and afraid of using this cleanser on my skin even though I purchased it already. Is it going to dry my skin out (contains salicylic, think it’s 0.5% or less than 1%). So, that’s not a high percentage. My bha liquid is 2%. I do pretty good on it too. Is the cleanser going to break me out? My skin is decent right now. I didn’t want to go through another breakout from this cleanser. Putting my fears away, I tried it. This cleanser is a gel. The pump/dispenser comes with a lock. Opening it was annoying. The first pump took a while to come out. I used 2 pumps for my whole face. It slightly lathered up and foamed with water. The product felt soft and soothing on my skin. I really enjoyed it. I loved the way it felt on my skin. Once I rinsed the cleanser off, my skin felt clean, a little moisturized, and not dry at all. It seems like CeraVe is more moisturizing than Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel. Hmmmm! By the way, if you’re new to my blog, I have very oily skin that can become dehydrated fast. This cleanser wasn’t drying on my skin after a single use. Who knows what might happens the next day or in the next few days.

Day 2:

I thought to myself, should I use this cleanser twice a day or once a day? What to do? Since I’m already in it to win it, I decided to use it twice a day. Neutrogena was a tad bit drying too, but it cleaned my skin and didn’t cause breakouts. Not a bad cleanser, from my skin’s perspective. I used CeraVe this morning with good results. The cleanser actually is the foamy, lathery type of cleanser. Full-on foam all over my face! I loved it! It was a great experience. It’s been so darn long that I’ve experienced a cleanser this foamy and so lathery. I’m freaking excited! I massaged the cleanser into my skin and let it do its thing. Felt a bit tingly this time. I didn’t notice it the first time. Also, don’t open your eyes when using this cleanser, it burns. Once I rinsed it off, my skin felt clean but not tight or dry. My skin looked so glowy, smooth, and hydrated. Keep in mind, I’m not even using a moisturizer right now, and my skin didn’t even dry out. I won’t get my moisturizer until tomorrow (Day 3). Can’t wait! But my skin loved the results this morning. At night, the effect was the same! The cleanser left my skin feeling clean without drying my skin out. The difference is that I noticed some hard sebum plugs falling out of my pores. I was able to pick them out. Is my skin purging or is the cleanser clogging my pores? I don’t know yet. It’s only been 2 days. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Day 3:

I didn’t wake up to new breakouts this morning. I left the cleanser on my skin a little bit longer than usual to give the salicylic acid some time to do its job. My skin didn’t feel dry or tight from doing this. Once I washed my face, it felt the same as before. It felt clean. This cleanser is not drying out my skin at all (as of yet). It feels very nice. I love that it actually cleans my face. This is the first for a CeraVe cleanser. At night, I noticed some blemishes. Uh oh. 😲 They weren’t there this morning. The blemishes are in my breakout-prone areas like my chin. I’ve been dealing with closed comedones in that area of my face for years. I’m not getting new breakouts. Well, it doesn’t look like it. It looks like the pimples were already there and now moving up to the surface (so I hope!). I just hope that it’s just my skin purging. It’s only day 3, so it’s difficult to tell. I’ll have to keep using this product. But, so far, I’m really enjoying this face wash. It’s still not drying out my skin using it twice a day yesterday and today. Everything is going well so far. And guess what arrived today? My moisturizer! Now I have a moisturizer that I can use at night. I’m not sure if I’ll use it in the morning. We’ll see what happens. It’s nice to add some moisture back to the skin. 😌 It makes my skin look more healthy and balanced.

Day 4:

Let the purge begin!! I had one single pimple that came to a head this morning (chin area). It popped when I was washing my face, lol. I thought that was the only pimple I had. But, by night, I noticed more pimples. I had some closed comedones on my upper lip and more on my chin. Those closed comedones moved up and turned white. I developed one cyst. It was a tiny pimple. Now it’s a gigantic cyst. So, from what’s going on, it looks like my skin is purging. It took 4 days to reach this stage. I mean, I noticed some pimples days before, but now they’re really turning into actual pimples. Much bigger ones. Whiteheads and one cyst. I really hope this is a short purge and not just breaking out. I’ll stick it out. I’m already 4 days in. I was really generous with the cleanser at night too, lol. I’m so glad I purchased the value size, haha. After cleansing my skin at night, that cyst shrunk in size. It seems like it’s working.

Day 5:

I woke up with a new pimple on my cheek. I wonder where that came from. It appeared out of thin air! I also noticed some on the side of my face and forehead. Just tiny little ones. They’re more like hard sebum plugs. I could easily pick them out. So the pimples that popped up yesterday have reduced in size dramatically. That one cyst from yesterday isn’t swelling as much anymore and diminished in size even more too. CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser still leaves my skin feeling clean and doesn’t dry out my skin, but I feel like there’s thick layer of dead skin on my face. I might have to add an acne leave-on treatment into my skin care routine to remove the dead skin and to prevent pores from clogging. I haven’t used any since a week ago. I took a break to heal my skin. The salicylic acid in the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser doesn’t seem to be enough. CeraVe doesn’t specify the percentage of salicylic, so I’m going to assume it’s a low percentage. Seems like it’s working to unclog my pores, but I need something stronger to tame my acne throughout the day. Lol, I was hoping that this face wash would do all of the work. I just hoped, haha.

I started using a 2% bha liquid tonight along with the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. To some this may be overkill, but my skin feels too moist. I wonder if it’s the new moisturizer I’m using. It’s a mattifying moisturizer too. I funny thing is that I didn’t think it felt too moisturizing on the skin. It sits on my skin pretty well and doesn’t leave my skin feeling or looking oily. So good, so far when it comes to not making my skin feel too heavy or greasy. Breakouts? Who knows! Another product I have in my routine is a vitamin c serum. This product could be causing breakouts too. I started using it almost around the same time as the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. So, I don’t know which product it is that could be causing breakouts. Hopefully it’s not CeraVe, haha. Between the two, I decided to stop using the vitamin c serum. I’m not a fan of the texture of the serum. Thankfully, that’s all I’m using on my skin besides sunscreen. My skin care routine is still minimal, which makes it easier to pinpoint what’s working and what’s not. Goodbye vitamin c. 👋🏻 For now.

Day 6:

When I was washing my face this morning, I noticed ZERO new pimples. I think I eliminated the product that was clogging my pores this whole time! Maybe it was part purging from CeraVe and part vitamin c serum clogging my pores. I was getting weird random breakouts in the past few days. Now, they’re gone! I used 2% bha liquid last night and this morning. I didn’t experience any dryness or irritation. No itchy skin. Before washing my face tonight (still using CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser twice a day!!), I didn’t notice any new breakouts. My skin looks good. What is this madness??!! lol. My skin is almost clear! I still have some tiny little closed comedones, but I have no new active pimples. No whiteheads, pustules, or cysts. That vitamin c serum really did me wrong. Now I have to see if my new moisturizer is working on my skin or not. I’ve used it 7 times already. It’s going well so far. I’m currently using it twice a day without any issues. Hopefully no breakouts from it. Skin looks pretty good at day 6, but I still have a long way to go!

Day 7:

It’s the 7th day using CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. I’m still using it twice a day, morning and night. I made it to the 7th day! I didn’t expect this to happen. Usually my skin would have retaliated by now. So this cleanser seems to be working on my skin. I haven’t noticed any new pimples after ditching the vitamin c serum. The breakouts must’ve been from the vitamin c product rather than the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. That’s unfortunate to know, but I’m glad it’s been figured out. I can continue on with the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. With this cleanser, every time I use it, I notice an increase in skin brightening and glow to my skin. The cleanser hasn’t dried my skin out yet. It doesn’t seem like it will. It’s been 7 days of using it already. But, I’m going to keep my eye on my skin. My overall experience with the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser has been good. It’s gentle, soothing, and moisturizing. There was a tingling sensation, but I haven’t experienced any of that as the days went on. My skin just looks better whenever I use this cleanser. I’m already thinking of making it my main facial cleanser if it keeps on working and doesn’t clog my pores!

That’s my 1 week experience with CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser! Stay tuned for my WEEK 2 experience. Coming up next week! I hope this was helpful. 🙂

The vitamin c serum I was using ~ L’Oreal Revitalift 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum

2 Weeks Tret Experience! Is It Working?? What I’m Doing Now!

Here’s my experience after 2 weeks of using tret! It’s been a whirlwind. I’m glad I’m back on it. All of my other acne treatments weren’t giving me the results that I wanted. I just wasn’t seeing results visually in my skin. I also lost that soft, silky, smooth texture that tret gives my skin. Moisturizing doesn’t give the same effect. It’s the tret that makes the skin look soft and supple! So, during the second week, I had to bump up to a higher strength. Yep, I’m back to where I started, lol. The lower strength of tret just wasn’t cutting it. It helped to reduce the sebum in my skin, but it didn’t help much with acne even though it made my skin peel a little bit. I didn’t see a positive effect in my acne, and I’m pretty much acne-prone. I needed something much stronger to fight against acne and prevent it from appearing. Well, at least diminish them quick. I also noticed more blackheads too when I was on the lower strength. It was just so weird. It wasn’t working for me that’s all.

Now back to what I’m using now, which is the higher strength (0.05). I used it 5 times a week with at least 1-2 rest days in between (or when my skin doesn’t sting or burn). If it burns, I don’t use it. I just listen to my skin to prevent any skin irritations or red skin. That seems to work best for me. Also, I make sure to use heavier moisturizers too when my moisture barrier is trying to heal from tret during rest periods. So after using tret 2 days in a row during the second week, my skin started to get flaky and peel off. I noticed a layer of dead skin sitting on top of my face. I tried not to mess with it and let it peel off by itself. At night, I used RoC Line Smoothing Daily Cleansing Pads to help exfoliate the dead skin off. For some reason, I tried using facial scrubs to remove the dead skin, but I always ended up with dead skin still stuck on my face. The RoC Line Smoothing Daily Cleansing Pads worked like charm! They’re amazing at removing dead skin from the facial skin! Love them! I highly recommended them! They’re pretty awesome!

During this week, every time my skin peeled, I would get some random breakouts. Sometimes blackheads too. Maybe I’m over-moisturizing my skin. It’s like I need moisture, but at the same time, I have to see if I’m over-moisturizing to prevent my skin from breaking out. I really need to re-evaluate my moisturizing routine. I started off using very little products when I first started my tret journey. Next thing ya know it, I’m using a bunch of products! I don’t think I need that many products anymore, and I’m thinking about cutting down on my skin care products. Not just because of the risk of over-moisturizing my skin but also time constraints. I simply don’t have the time to apply that many products on my face anymore. It’s just too time consuming. I have other obligations and responsibilities to take care of. Also, I don’t want to have to bring that many products with me when traveling either. It’s just way too much! hah!

So! I feel like I’m in a complete never-ending cycle with tret. It works then it doesn’t work. I’m trying to make it work, since I love the way it makes my skin look. It actually does help with my acne. I can see the difference in my skin when I was without it. My skin looks great so far with it. Everything seems to be going well. I’m not even a month into re-starting tret, so I have hope that it may work this time around! Stay tuned for my next update! So far, so good! 🙂

Almost 3 Months On Tret. I’m Done With It! Here’s My Experience!

I’m Using Tret Again. Look What Happened!

I’m Using Tret Again. Look What Happened!

So I stopped using tret for a week. I really thought I was done with it, but I guess not. lol. After taking a break from tret for a week, my skin went back to normal. My skin healed. My moisture barrier healed. My skin stopped burning and peeling. It stopped looking aged and just plain bad. After my skin healed, I decided to pick up on tret again. I know, I know, I’m really not giving up on tret just yet. I have to (must) try it again to see if it works, haha! This time, I’m not using it every single day. I’m only using it a few times a week. Also, I was bumped down to the lowest percentage of tret. Maybe the higher strength was just too much for my skin to handle. I don’t know, but let’s see what happens with this new treatment plan!

So what happened??? Here are my results for the first week!

I’m just about to finish up my first week on tret! This week, once I started using tret again, the results have been spectacular! I noticed a difference in the texture of my skin after using it twice. Seems like I’m going for 2-3 times a week only. We’ll see what works best for my skin. But, my skin looked so much softer and smoother all of a sudden after reintroducing tret back into my skin care routine. It also helped tame my oily skin too, which in turn helped to prevent some breakouts from occurring. What I really liked and noticed the most was the change in my skin texture and overall complexion. It made my skin look more youthful and glowy! It was such a dramatic difference so soon. It’s unbelievable. It looks like it’s working for me (once again, hehe!!)! 🙌🏻

The first week of using tret is ending soon, and I’m going to take a break from tret for the rest of the week. I’ll start back up when my skin is ready again. I’m going to take it slow this time around. I mean, my skin peeled after using it twice. I don’t think it’s necessary to use it often and end up with red, irritated skin. Currently, I have a few pimples that aren’t too noticeable. I can just apply some concealer or foundation to cover them up. I think my skin looks pretty good with what’s going on and what I’m doing. It looks way healthier than before! I’m really happy with the results so far! Even though it’s only been a week. Well! That’s my 1 week update on tret. Don’t forget to check out my recent update on my moisturizers that I’m using to prevent my skin from drying out & my previous posts on tret! 🙂

Almost 3 Months On Tret. I’m Done With It! Here’s My Experience!

Almost 3 Months On Tret. I’m Done With It! Here’s My Experience!

It’s been almost 3 months on tret. During the first week, I only used tret 3 times. I thought I would give my skin a break, but then I found a moisturizer that moisturized my skin even better. That moisturizer is Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream. That’s when I started using tret every night. My skin just felt so much better. Super moisturized. It healed faster too. My skin looked so glowy and pretty. I’M IN LOVE!! 🥰 So having a good moisturizer while using tret is very important. But it’s difficult to find one that works without clogging pores when you’re acne-prone. I’m glad I gave Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream another chance. It saved my skin!

Even with a good moisturizer, did tret help with leftover acne that I had? NOPE! Not at all! I’m really disappointed in tret when it comes to acne. At one point in my life, it cleared up my acne. Now, not even close. It did help with my skin texture though. My skin looks smoother, but it’s not that smooth because of it. Sometimes tret makes my skin feel and appear drier even with a moisturizer (or with layers of moisturizers, haha!). It makes it more difficult to wear makeup properly, especially accentuates dry skin but also fine lines and wrinkles. Also, I dislike how tret thinned out my skin by a ton. Ugh! I think it made my skin look worse! 😭 It’s supposed to be improving my skin. 😡😡😡!!

SO! I’m not going to rely on tret to get rid of my acne anymore. Yep, it’s time to move on to other acne treatments to fight against these pesky little blemishes. I’ll probably use tret a few times a week at most since I still have it. I’ll just play it by ear. But I feel like my tret journey has come to an end. I don’t care much for it anymore. It’s whatever to me. So, during the third month, I tried some new skin care products and reintroduced some of my previous skin care products into my routine once again. Let’s take a look at them first. Next, I’ll talk about what helped with my stubborn, annoying acne. You know, how I actually got rid of them. And, no, once again, it’s not tret that helped get rid of my acne. I wished tret did. hah!

Skin Care Products I Tried…

Here are some, I mean a bunch, of skin care products I tried. Some I liked. Some I liked but decided to not use them when I’m done with them. Some I don’t care for. I’m going to share a few. There’s just too many, but here are some of the skin care products that popped in my mind while writing this post. Read on! 🙂

Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream: This is my main moisturizer right now. I don’t think it has broken me out. I haven’t noticed any clogged pores. It moisturizes my skin, but it’s not the most moisturizing face cream I’ve tried. But, I think it’s good enough, especially for my skin type. Seems like that’s all my skin can take. I’ve tried more moisturizing and heavier creams that truly did leave my skin looking softer, glowy, and very moisturized, but they all ended up breaking me out. With Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream, I’ll keep an eye out for breakouts. It just feels too good to be true. heh.

Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion: Another moisturizer that I liked is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion. This lotion is AMAZING! I’m so amazed how it leaves my skin feeling moisturized and looking extra bouncy and plump! And after all of that, it didn’t clog my pores! Yes, I need to accentuate the fact that it didn’t break me out! This lotion right here…I’m keeping it in my routine. I love it so far!! It’s becoming one of my favorites once again! Highly recommended!

The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5: This was the third The Ordinary serum that I added into my routine. I was using it on my body but thought it would be a waste just using it on my body. It’s a 1 flz. oz. (30 mL) serum bottle, why not try using it on my facial skin instead? My face is drier than my body, and it’s more picky, so that’s what happened. I decided to use it on my face. So far, I haven’t had any breakouts from it (yet). I hope it works out, but I’m not sure if this serum is going to do anything for my skin. I remember it doing absolutely nothing for my skin in the past. But we’ll see.

iUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum: This serum is a new addition to my skin care routine. It’s more moisturizing compared to the other two serums from iUNIK that I have (and am using), which are the Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum and Black Snail Restore Serum. If you’re trying to find a serum that is super moisturizing, it’ll be the Beta-Glucan Moisture Serum. I feel like this serum has made its way into my routine permanently, lol. I’ve only been using it for less than a week too. hah!

Son Bahyu Horse Oil: I haven’t been using Son Bahyu Horse Oil for long, but I don’t think my facial skin likes it. I stopped using it on my face after noticing some clogged pores. I think my skin just doesn’t like 100% pure oils. I can’t even use other oils, such as rosehip oil, jojoba oil, or even squalane oil. They all end up breaking me out. And it seems like horse oil is the same way. This is something I won’t purchase again. And it’s really pricey too for the size. I’m over it.

GUERISSON 9 Complex Cream: I only used this face cream (horse face cream) for a few weeks. After a few weeks, my skin broke out in clogged pores, acne. Once I stopped using it, my skin cleared up. But when I was using the cream, it made my skin look so good. It went from dry and noticeable wrinkles to a softer, smoother, glowy complexion after a day of use! I was shocked and so happy with the results! But, I don’t think it’s the horse oil alone that dramatically improved my skin. This cream has other skin care ingredients in it too like niacinamide, shea butter, peptides, and snail secretion filtrate that can do wonders for the skin. Am I going to purchase GUERISSON 9 Complex Cream again? Probably. I actually like it. I like it more than Son Bahyu Horse Oil, since it’s in cream form with a bunch of other beneficial skin care ingredients.

Which Sunscreen Am I Using While on This Journey??

I’m still using the same sunscreen as I did before, which is Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++. I’ve done a ton of updates on this sunscreen. Now here’s my new update. 🙂 I stopped using Neutrogena Visibly Even Daily Moisturizer SPF 30. I had issues applying Neutrogena to my skin after layering on other skin care products on my face. The sunscreen would roll off of my face. Ugh, so annoying. So that’s why I stopped using it and am using Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF+ PA++++ instead. It sits on the skin well and doesn’t roll off of my skin. It works well with my other skin care products. But, I’m noticing new freckles while using this sunscreen. Sometimes I reapply if I can. The thing is, I’m hardly out in the sun, and I’m still getting freckles. *sigh* I think I’m just bound to get freckles no matter what. With Canmake, even though I like it. I mean, it’s better than what I have tried so far. I find Canmake to be drying on the skin even though I wear moisturizer underneath. I guess ya can’t have it all. I’ll stick with it until I find a better sunscreen. I’m not saying this sunscreen is bad. I’m just keeping the door open for a better sunscreen if it exists, lol.

How I FULLY Cleared My Skin

I’ve been on tret for so long trying to clear my acne, and it didn’t seem to work at all over the years. I’ve tried other acne treatments too. Nothing worked. I didn’t think THIS was the cause of my terrible acne, but turns out that it is. What made my skin so terrible for years was in fact my vegan diet. Yep, it was. I started eating meat just 2 months ago (now nearing 3 months, and my skin is CLEAR! Well, most of the acne is gone. Not only has my acne diminished drastically, my skin looks more youthful and vibrant. It’s insane how much my skin changed within those 2 months. Unbelievable!! All of those skin skin issues that I had was linked to the vegan diet. But who knew, right? You can read more about my health issues on a vegan diet right here. It’s been a long battle and the battle is finally over. No more bumps all over my face! I’m able to fight against my acne much easier than before. I’m so happy how much my skin has transformed by just going back to my normal diet. My vegan years has officially ended. It did nothing but made me unhealthy over time. Now it’s time to move on for the better!

My tret journey has officially ended also. It’s not the answer to acne problems. I’ve been using other skin care products to maintain a pimple-free complexion. I’ll share what I’m using in another post. I hope this update was helpful. Thank for your time and reading. Have an amazing dayyyyyyyyyyyy!! 🌞

My Update on Benton Fermentation Essence. Did It Clog My Pores??

Here’s my update on Benton Fermentation Essence! I did a post on my first night experience using this essence right here. 👈🏻 Gogogogo!! So my experience and results with this essence went well the first night of using it. You can read more about it in the link provided. Now on to what happened to my skin tonight. Did the essence work on my skin? Did my skin break out from it like before? What actually happened?? Hmmm! I was really curious about the outcome myself too and terrified at the same time. Gosh, I really don’t want to go through a breakout right now or ever! Definitely not like the one I did last time with this product! So, everyone, wish me luck!

When I was washing my face tonight, I looked at my skin and didn’t notice any new breakouts like what happened before with this essence. I was so happy and shocked! I didn’t see any new blackheads appear. My pores weren’t filled with sebum. Whiteheads?? Nope! Cystic acne? Nope! My skin didn’t look dull, but it didn’t look brighter. Nothing changed much about my skin. I mean, it feels moisturized, but it has been feeling hydrated and moisturized without this essence. I think it’s because I already have some good moisturizing moisturizers in my routine. So I’ve only used the essence twice. I know that’s not enough time to see if something works or not, but I broke out from this essence terribly after using it twice the last time I used it. I think my results this time is very interesting so far! And I’m really happy that I didn’t get any breakouts from it. VERY HAPPY! 🥳

After not getting clogged pores from this essence, it looks like I’m going to keep the essence in my routine and see what happens next. Maybe within a few more days or a week things might take a turn. I might see improvements in my skin (or not 😭). Hopefully everything will be ok and move in the positive direction. I really hope this product works because I really like the ingredients in it and how it makes my skin feel. I enjoy using the product too. It would be amazing if I’m able to use it without getting clogged pores. hehe! All I can do now is just hope. We’ll see how my skin responds to it. Stick around for an update on my experience with Benton Fermentation Essence!
