I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?

HH Lite cream and LCZ tablet usage may have side effects:

HH Lite Cream:

  1. Redness (as you've experienced)
  2. Dryness
  3. Itching
  4. Burning sensation

LCZ Tablet:

  1. Drowsiness
  2. Dizziness
  3. Stomach upset
  4. Allergic reactions

Alcohol consumption can exacerbate acne due to:

  1. Dehydration
  2. Inflammation
  3. Hormonal imbalances

Substitutes for HH Lite cream that may minimize redness:

  1. Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
  2. Neutrogena Hydrating Facial Moisturizer
  3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid

To address alcohol-related acne:

  1. Stay hydrated
  2. Use a gentle cleanser
  3. Apply a soothing moisturizer
  4. Consider a probiotic supplement

Consult a dermatologist to discuss your specific concerns and develop a personalized skincare plan.

I have pigmented skin and I'm really looking for a good oil-free pigmentation cream to use at night. Do you have any suggestions?

For pigmented skin, consider using oil-free, non-comedogenic night creams containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, licorice extract, or kojic acid, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, or La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, but always patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

I've been having some hair fall issues, so my doctor put me on these B12 supplements. But after about two weeks, I started getting really bad reactionslike rashes and acne on my hands and face. I stopped the supplements immediately, but it's been over a week, and my acne is still there and hasn't improved at all. Should I be doing something specific to help with this, or will it just clear up on its own eventually? I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next.
