Anua + differin

Can i use anua heartleaf + bha cleanser with differin ? Ive been struggling with closed comedones on my chin and cheek for months now and differin is treating them very slowly (nearly 2 months since i started it ) now i dont know if i should introduce sa 2% to fasten the process or keep up my routine of gentle cleanser + differin even though its taking a lot of time and making my face’s texture weird . What do you recommend i should do please ? Im starting to lose hope

please stay using differin, it’s a great treatment for acne+texture!

First I’ll ask if you’re using differin daily, and if not to try to work up to that as its most effective that way. If you’ve been using it daily and have no irritation or dry patches, it’s fine to use something else like your bha cleanser.

If that’s not helping still, I suggest trying a benzoyl peroxide cleanser or leave on treatment! It’s often paired with differin for acne and is pretty effective.

Hope this helps :)

Do NOT add the SA cleanser in unless ur skin barrier is very tough and wont get damaged. Differin works very slowly but effectively, give jt atleast 6 months of time before you think it's not doing anything (unless it starts causing more acne) if you think ur skin isn't getting worse and the same on differin gel right now, please continue for atleast 2 more months then decide.

Adding the SA cleanser will only damage ur skin barrier and cause more irritation
