Acne and oily skin not improving
Hello doctor, I have oily, acne-prone skin with frequent breakouts (mostly hormonal). Acne is around jawline, cheeks, face, forehead..in short everywhere. I used to get a lot of acne in my school and college but then it stopped. Now its again coming up. I work in IT sector with 10-12 hours screen time per day. I also have IBS-D, so I avoid oral antibiotics, but I manage my diet carefully and eat only suitable foods. Currently, I use Saslic DS face wash once daily in the evening and Sebamed moisturizer after that. In the morning I use Ethiglo face wash and Plum niacinamide serum, followed by sunscreen (Re’equil/Deconstruct). Still, my skin gets oily again within 1 hour, and acne/scars are not improving. Should I continue with Saslic DS and Ethiglo, or switch to a single daily gentle cleanser like CeraVe? What is the safest daily cleanser for oily, acne-prone skin in my case? Also, should I add vitamin supplement at night for hormonal acne (considering my IBS-D)?
