Do you think the sun is making me break out because my non tinted windows exposes me whenever i’m not wearing sunscreen? Also I have acne so whenever I forget, i’m always burning up because of my topical medications.

It absolutely can break you out, especially if you have sensitive skin and go without sunscreen. You should be wearing sunscreen daily if you’re using topicals with any kind of retinol, AHA/BHA, or other chemical exfoliant

Once my makeup is on like there is no going back because I only added my sunscreen routine well after I got into makeup….but i’ll try to remember, I’ll put a sticky note on my mirror

They suggested vitamin c and vitamin c causes sunspots. I don’t have a derm so i’m not sure if I should use AHA/BHA although I’m hardly allergic to any medicine.

I’ve had a lot of luck with the cerave vitamin c serum lately, and I have acne prone, sensitive skin. It’s really brightened up my complexion and smoothed things out, surprisingly. I also added their AHA/BHA serum and mix it with the vitamin c serum at night. Idk if it’s similar at all, but vitamin c is one of the main ingredients in accutane, so maybe that’s connected?
