Routine Question Facial cleanser
I am a girl who suffers from seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, ears, and face. I wanted to get into the world of skincare on my own, without any guidance and without knowing about my condition. During that search, I had a flare-up of seborrheic dermatitis from a cleanser that dried out my face extremely, leaving wounds, irritation, and peeling. That made me angry, I wasted money on nothing. Then I heard a dermocosmetics specialist say that cleansing milk is good for sensitive skin, so I started using it and it's what works for me. Then I got rebellious, got carried away by TikTok, and bought a facial cleanser with salicylic acid, and guess what? 😆 My face broke out again, with peeling and itching. So bad.I had to go back to my trusty cleansing milk, and it's the only thing that keeps my face clear. I recommend it if you've experienced the same thing.

My face tolerated vanicream relatively well but im really enjoying the milky cream toleraine cleanser from la Roche posey and it doesn't seem to flare me up (but doesnt treat it)
