Question
can this be used w/ sensitive skin?
I am 39 yo and on chronic meds which are quite potent....so much so that they are thinning my skin and also causing my skin to be more sensitive than it has ever been. For example, I have been using a glycolic peel (LOVE!!!) exfolliation system which I bought from Sephora monthly. It works soooooo well. I used it once a week for a few years and never had a problem until chronic streoids (oral and IV prednisne and others) were added to my regimen. The steroids have 100% changedf the elasticity of my skin and also have made my once supple, resilent skin into paper thin skin of a much older person : ( What a nightmare! In addition to my medical issuesg, I am now suffering form skin changes, and those on the face are quite upsetting. I used to constantly hear that I looked 10 plus yrs younger....now I look a lot older than my age. Anywqay, all of the products I have once used now burn my skin badly. The wonderul product (not sure if allowerd to mention brand..it is awesome, though!) from sephora which exfolliated my face/neck wiht glycolic acid, etc can no longer be used. Weeks after the sterpid was added to my mixture of toxic meds, the treatment I am speaking of began to burn my skin even upon 1st contact......causing me to scream until I ran into the shower trying to get it off...it took a while, and 2 weeks after the fact...still dark red and sloughing off of my skin from my once favorite product ever!!! Anyway, I have used numerpous other produtcs which have badly burnt my face..... especiually the region around my moth and my chin???? It looks like I have a dark red beard of "{burn" with peeling skin within the redness : ( WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID....DUE TO THE DRYNESS AND THINNESS OF MY SKIN, I AM NOW GETTING NOT JUST FINE LINES, BUT DEEP WRINKLES OUT OF NOWHERE-AGAIN, DUE TO THE CHRONIC STEROID USE. I WAS TOLD BY MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST (SEEING JUST FOR THIS PROBALEM) THAT THEIS ISSUE MAY BE REVERSIBLE IF I STOP THE STEROIDS, AND EVEN THEN AFTER SEBVREWAL, SEVERAL YEARS!!!! I CAN NOT EVEN USE ANY INJECTABLES B/C OF THE STOEROIDS. MY EYES ARE SHRIVLED UP, ESPEICALLY IN THE LIDS. IS THIS PRODUCT DO-ABLE?? EVERY TIME I ASK THE PERRICOMNE LINE LISTED ON THE BOX, I AM TOLD "TO TRY IT....1ST AS A PATCH TEST", WHICH BY THE WAY IS ALWAYS FINE...IT ISNT UNTIL THE PRODUCT HITS MY FACE UNTIL THE ISSUES START! THEY SAY AFTER THE PATCH TEST, "TRY IT SPARINGLY, SINCE THERE IS NOTHING TO LOSE." WRONG...A LOT TO LOSE WHEN I BURN MY FACE WHICH DOESNT HEAL FOR A MONTH OR SO! ANYONE READING THIS IS PROB. SAYING...OF COURSE THIS GIRL SHOULD NOT BE USING THIS PRODUCT. BTW, I AM NOT FOND OF THE HYPOALLERGENIC LINE BY PERRICONE AT ALL. NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT DO ANYTHING, I DONT EVEN LIKE IT. I WISH I COULD USE ALL OF HIS OTHER AWESOME PRODUCTS!!! IS THIS ONE POSSIBLY FOR ME???????? ANYONE???
