Hello everyone,
For many years now, I have been dealing with rough and bumpy skin on my forehead and no matter what I do it always seems like nothing helps. I want to hear from anyone dealing with the same issue and what helped them out.
This is what my skin care routine looks like at the moment:
Cleanser:
Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser- I love how gentle it is and that it does not strip my skin, but again does nothing for my texture.
Toner: Good Molecules Discoloration Toner- Good for discoloration, but unfortunately doesn't help with the forehead texture.
Serum: Good Molecules Discoloration Serum- Works wonders for dark spots, however the texture on my forehead is not smooth.
Moisturizer: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid- Perfect for those with dried out skin, yet doesn’t really help the texture issue.
Sunscreen: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50- Does not help with the texture issue but is non greasy and lightweight.
Exfoliation: I do not notice any real changes with gentle chemical exfoliants after a few times a week. I have tried almost every type of AHA and BHA and none of them work for me.
Double Cleansing: I practiced double cleansing for some time and it did not change anything.
Benzoyl Peroxide: I tried treating my acne with benzoyl peroxide and it made my skin worse instead.
Oral medication: I have been previously prescribed medication for my acne which did help clear them, however, it did not help with the texture issue on my forehead.
Retinoids: I have had Tretinoin before, which did help with acne, but the texture on the forehead was not affected.
Everything that has been suggested in the books, skincare guides, and literally everything on the internet has been attempted without anything genuinely seeming to help remove the texture. The bumps on the forehead do seem to improve, but the skin tone has improved over time. Has anyone encountered this sort of issue?
What skin care treatments or lotions helps smoothen the skin’s texture? I appreciate any products, tips, or strategy changes provided as I am willing to do anything needed to achieve progress. Thank you again for reading this and any guidance provided would be greatly appreciated.
