Seeking Advice for Persistent Red Spots on Face

Rizwana Osazuwa · 2025-02-10T18:00:25+00:00

The problem is that my face is covered in some sort of red spots . I haven't eaten sweets for almost a year, nor fried foods, flour-based foods, etc. Every morning and evening I do the same thing: use a face wash, toner, and expensive cream. I've been to a beautician, had various cleanings, peelings, but nothing helps. Is there any way to at least get rid of the spots on my face?

Check all your skincare products for alcohol and oils. My situation began to improve after I completely stopped using cosmetics that included the aforementioned ingredients. And these helped: a cleanser with AHA acids, a serum with centella, a night serum with retinol, SPF protection including centella. There was no alcohol anywhere!!!

And I'll add that there's also a reaction to milk in the form of spots.

If there are definitely no problems with your digestive system and the functioning of your internal organs, then it's most likely down to hygiene. Buy small disposable towels (use for one day and then throw in the wash), get more pillowcases (change them every week), clean your makeup brushes more often (once a week is necessary), and wash your face every evening with hypoallergenic gel or foam. And go see an allergist, get yourself checked out.

As if there are so many options. For women, either COCs or systemic retinoids, ahead is Epiduo. That's basically all the effective methods, if the rest doesn't help.

I get breakouts from sweets. Even a single sweet is enough! But I love sweets and I eat them by the handful. So, I switched to HydroPeptide and my skin has improved, even though I still eat sweets. But I want to quit already, otherwise I can eat 3 Snickers at once. Horrible!

Of course, it's preferable to identify the cause of the breakouts; I had to eliminate sweets from my diet. As for skincare products, I can tell you that expensive doesn't always mean effective, I've learned this from my own experience. A friend recommended the active cream Seracin Librederm, which she herself used. I started applying it directly to the breakouts and very soon they began to dry out and diminish, the redness subsided and my skin became cleaner.

Try using Zindol from Mospharma, and the spots after pimples go away on their own, it just takes time.

How did you choose your skincare products? Perhaps they're not suitable? Have you tried Zineryt for acne, it completely cleared my face.

The appearance of spots isn't always dependent on diet. And you should go not to a beautician, but to a dermatologist. Retin-A cream 0.05% helped me with acne, it was specifically selected for me by a dermatologist. It's suitable for treating spots for those whose skin is prone to dryness and sensitivity.
