8-fluid ounce of Liquid Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Formula mild face wash designed to gently cleanse skinLiquid facial cleanser removes excess oil and rinses clean without leaving pore-clogging residue for clean, clear and healthy-looking skinMade without any harsh detergents, our daily face wash is specially formulated with glycerin, a humectant that helps moisturize skin, as well as other high quality ingredientsThis mild face cleanser works to gently cleanse skin and is fragrance-free so it's recommended for fragrance-sensitive skinHypoallergenic cleanser is dermatologist proven to be mild and its unique facial cleansing formula is also oil-free and non-comedogenic so it won't clog pores
Has the formula changed over the years or does it differ by country?
The list of ingredients on Amazon for Ultra Sheer SPF 30 is:
On the Neutrogena website it says the ingredients are:
According to skinacea, avobenzone is unstable and is further destabilized by octinoxate. The 1st set of ingredients includes octinoxate but the 2nd set of ingredients don't. Also octocrylene will stabilize the avobenzone if the percentage of octocrylene is higher than avobenzone, which is true for the 2nd set, but octocrylene is not used at all in the 1st set.
I'm also in Canada and the sunscreen I bought matches the 2nd set of ingredients. Does anyone have the sunscreen with the ingredients matching the first set?
ETA: your MUA source mentions that they recommend having the octocrylene to be at least half the percentage of avobenzone, so yay, I think my sunscreen is safe to use.
Important Sidenote: I'm a runner too. Do you run outside? Be sure to wear a waterproof/sweat proof sunscreen, it will help with skin damage as well as texture!! I run in the AM, and my pre-run routine is: Wipe my face down with micellar water, rinse it off with water, apply Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 30 After my run I wash thoroughly and continue my AM routine as normal.
I checked out the Target wipes you listed and don't see them as truly exfoliating, with the ingredients being "eh". A budget-friendly drugstore exfoliator you could try is Stridex in the red box. It is super popular on this subreddit (I haven't tried it, I use PC 2% BHA but it's more expensive). BHAs helps with clogged pores (closed comedones), which might be what your tiny bumps are.
Make sure you moisturize at night!
What should I research, buy, and patch test next?
I already picked out and patch tested a cleanser and a moisturizer. I'm probably going to buy this sunscreen.
Should I look into the products behind exfoliation, spot treatment, or the blackhead removal technique first?
The wiki here says it's 2.0% which seems standard. Would this sunscreen help with the PIH? Only one the store has from the recommended section, says it contains alcohol and fragrance, the former of which I thought was an absolute no-no.
EDIT: Also worth noting about the acne that I've been using a 2.5% BP product for a few months that has worked well on treating the acne already there, but otherwise doesn't prevent it, and causes a lot of dryness
Hi there.
I could really use some help getting started with a routine; I've read the sidebar and been on skincare-addiction.com and read quite a lot there about my skintypes and such - but I still feel that this is quite a jungle with a lot of different pitfalls.
Some basic information about me: 21 year old, male, combination skin.
My current routine:
AM: Use a cleanser (with a cotton pad) after waking up, to cleanse my face.
PM: Same as in the morning - clean my head with a cleanser (using a cotton pad).
This is the cleanser I've been using: TEA TREE FACIAL TONER from TheBodyShop
So, obviously my current routine is not enough, as my skin is acting all crazy and has been for quite a few months now.
Can anybody help me on the right path here? Maybe tell me what products to avoid and which one that would suit me?
I've been looking at this:
Clean the skin: [Bioderma Sebium H2O Micelle Solution]

Cleanser: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
Exfoliater: Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula
Moisturizing: Moisturizing Cream from CeraVe
Sunscreen: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, SPF 30, 3 Fluid
How does that look? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
No problem. 50spf is fine, but I hear anything about 30spf is overkill. No worries, though!
This is the product I used during my course and still do:

I don't see how any of it would aggravate your acne unless you have a sensitivity to some of the ingredients. I think you should cleanse with water and moisturise in the morning too though. I have no personal experience with that sunscreen but from a quick search it seems it leaves a bad white cast. So I would probably try something else. Maybe this one, also by Neutrogena? Very often recommended in this sub.
i have pores so large theyre visible from a decent distance away. Is there a way to decrease their size? I currently use Cetaphil Daily Cleanser twice a day. Once in the morning, once at night before bed. Both in the shower. I periodically wash my face throughout the day but if i miss once chance to get rid of grease i immediately break out within 12 hours. I've tried Proactiv a long time ago, I've tried Clean and Clear spot treatment, Clean and Clear oil absorbing sheets, which works pretty well, i just ran out. Sebamed clear face gel, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunscreen, SPF 30, and even Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, For all skin types and theyve ALL made me breakout except the Cetaphil daily cleanser Normal to Oily skin...
Now i've used all these products at random times... not all on the same. I've really been actively trying to get this under control since late 2014. So each time something makes me breakout, i'll try a new product.. At one time I was using (per the suggestion of a beauty stylist) to use cetaphil daily cleanser, Sebamed face gel, and then Neutrogena Ultra sheer Sunscreen in the morning to get me ready for the day. Then use the absorbing sheets throughout the day to maintain a clean face. Not get any dirt in my pores.
So thats the story... if someone, ANYONE can help me, I would appreciate it so much. If i really need to see a dermatologist, i guess thats my last resort. I really like to try all options before seeing a doc. Please let me know if you can help out. It's greatly appreciated!!!
Need Sunscreen Help
I just recently bought the [Neutrogena Ultra Dry Touch Sunscreen] (https://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Ultra-Dry-touch-Sunscreen-Ounces/dp/B00008IHO3) (except its 55 SPF instead of 30) after seeing it recommended on this sub as a good chemical sunscreen, but EVERYTIME i put it on, without fail, it leaves the absolute worst powdery white residue on my face after 20 minutes or so, like I legitimately look like I've been rolling around in flour. Is this normal? I'm using the recommended 1/4 tsp. amount (although I might be using slightly more, I'm not good with eyeballing).
A few facts about my skin/routine:
If this is normal for this particular sunscreen to leave such a bad white cast, could anyone recommend to me one (in the same price range of ~$10) that doesn't leave a white cast, or atleast not as bad?
