What has actually helped your skin the most?

Hi @EmMit92,

Thank you for starting this discussion, I really love how you’ve opened it up beyond just treatments to include the mental side as well. That’s something that often gets overlooked, even though it can be just as challenging as the physical symptoms.

You’re absolutely right, there’s so much conflicting advice out there, and what works for one person doesn’t always work for another. Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to find something that truly helps, whether that’s a treatment, a routine, or even a change in how we relate to our condition.

To open this up to everyone:

• What has helped you the most in managing your skin condition day to day?
• Have you found anything that made a difference for your mental wellbeing or confidence?
• Were there things you tried that didn’t work or even made things worse?

If you feel comfortable, sharing both the helpful and the difficult parts can really support others who are still figuring things out.

Take care,
