I finally found a skincare routine that cleared up my red face and did it fast. Now if you haven't heard of Retinol yet, Retinol is incredible for fixing skin issues BUT it doesn't fix the underlying problem. Since having a flared-up, bumpy red face causes lot of embarrassment and makes not want to create YouTube videos I needed to find a solution that works not just fast, but over the long term as well.

I've been told it could be rosacea, perioral dermatitis, fungal acne AND eczema which has made things even more confusing. Eventually I was able to talk with my family doctor (after visiting multiple walk-ins) and she prescribed me a retinoid which has worked very well for getting my skin to calm down but it hasn't fixed what's actually happening. So in this video I share my skincare routine as well as my thoughts on how to prevent it from ever happening again.

Thanks for watching.

Will be adding resources mentioned in the video soon.
