Heihei 👋
Thanks for mentioning the use of Epiduo – it changes things. Now we need to think extra carefully about skin barrier, irritation, and over-exfoliation!
You are already using:
-Epiduo (adapalene + benzoyl peroxide) every night = powerful active treatment
-TO Salicylic Acid Mask 2x/week = exfoliation
-Considering adding azelaic acid
→ This will be three strong active ingredients.
NOTE: Do not use azelaic acid on the same night as Epiduo or salicylic acid.
Here you can for example rotate which products you use in the evening, so it would look like this:
Monday: Epiduo
Tuesday: Azelaic Acid
Wednesday: Epiduo
Thursday: Salicylic Acid Mask / or Azelaic Acid
Friday: Epiduo
Saturday: Break/ Moisture and calm
Sunday: Epiduo or Azelaic Acid (feel free to switch these weekly)
Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓
