Help! Need some product recommendations..

Post by aerosmithkat » Thu May 24, 2012 11:16 pm

Hey everyone :) I'm a new SN user, and over whelmed by my choices. I'm 32 with clogged pores and cystic acne that I think is temporary and hormonal (I went off a medication and skin flared up). I am currently looking to address the cystic acne and large pores, and once I get it under control.. I'm looking to take care of some hyperpigmentation and red spots from this acne issue. I use the hemp moisterizer and BHA toner, but am lost on what serums to use or treatments. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

I think I would give Super Serum a try, but it might react with your BHA. How do you use your BHA....morning and night? AS long as you put it on in separate applications, it will work.

If you don't want to have to worry about interactions, try Awesome Sauce.

Definitely sample first, especially for the Super Serum.

Well, this is my current routine but I'm open to suggestions.
Morning : cleanser (african black soap)
Toner (andalou herbal toner)
Hemp oil moisterizer
Night : cleanser (african black soap)
BHA toner
Night cream (Mychelle peptide cream)
My skin has cleared up tremendously with the silk naturals makeup, BHA, and hemp oil so i'd like to switch over my other products as I use them up :)

Serums go after your toner and before your moisturizer.

Super Serum would work in the morning. Most people have issue with using it with an acid like AHA or BHA. Since you use the BHA at night, only use this one in the morning to be safe.

Awesome Sauce would work both morning and night as a serum.
