There are many studies that suggest that diet doesnt influence acne
The sunscreen on the other hand will definately help

She recommended a different sunscreen than the one I was using — and a less sugary diet. So far, somewhat better –

Siel,

You are right to listen to your aesthetician’s advice first. However, the people selling CTRL also have your best interests in mind. If you told them about your negative experience, they would suggest you stop using CTRL and consult a doctor.

Good luck with your acne.

What did she advise you to use then?

My aesthetician advised me to stop using the stuff entirely, and I’m trusting her advice over the people who are tasked with selling CTRL :)

Siel,

I apologize. I misunderstood your post. I thought you referring to BZ and other harsh topical ingredients. I did not read through and realize CTRL was problematic for you. Did you reduce the frequency of application while using CTRL to see if that helped? I would have thought the ceramides in CTRL did an effective job at moisturizing.

pdkarrera — In your zeal to promote CTRL, I don’t think you read the comment stream. CTRL was the product that was giving me clear old skin — The product IS harsh, over time.

All the more reason to use a product designed for your skin. The key ingredients in CTRL coupled with its formulation for males and females allows the product to be effective without being harsh. You should have clear young skin, not clear old skin!

A month or so. In any case my aesthetician said that this is a normal effect of using harsh chemicals and that these things really aren’t a good long term solution for that reason. I felt like my skin was breaking out less, but aging more.
