When I wear makeup, my skin texture looks messier than my acne, so I'm debating if I should get a skin treatment.
Lately, I'm more stressed about how my skin looks messier when I wear makeup than about the breakouts themselves.
There are days when I don't really mind it when my skin is bare, but when I apply foundation, the bumpy or dry, flaky areas actually stand out more. So, if I apply another layer of foundation to cover them up, it looks okay at first, but over time, it ends up looking thicker and my skin texture looks rougher lol.
In the past, I thought it might be a problem with the cosmetics, so I tried changing my base products several times.
If I use a moisturizing one, it feels like it breaks down quickly, and if I use a matte one, it feels dry and cakey, so in the end, I wasn't satisfied no matter which one I used.
Come to think of it, I wonder if the bigger problem is my skin condition itself not being stable rather than the products, so I am looking into acne skincare.
In such cases, when receiving skin care, do you check the skin texture and sebum condition as well, rather than just looking at the breakouts?
I'm not expecting it to be perfectly smooth right away, but I just want it to look less messy than it does now, even if I apply a thin layer of base.
Also, after receiving acne treatment a few times, will I notice any changes when I apply makeup?
I am curious if there are any changes beyond just a reduction in new breakouts, such as the skin feeling slightly less rough to the touch or foundation applying more comfortably than before.
Is it possible that my makeup might not apply as well for a few days immediately after the treatment because my skin feels dry or red?
In that case, I think it would be better to allow a few days rather than receiving it right before an important schedule.
Is there anyone else who started acne skincare because they were stressed about their skin texture when wearing makeup, like me?
I'm also curious if you've started using less foundation or concealer than before since you started getting it consistently haha.
I think I'll spend less time applying makeup once my skin stabilizes a bit, so I'm seriously considering getting a professional treatment this time instead of buying products again.

- 01CommentsSince the management of recurring breakouts around the chin varies depending on the cause, it would be helpful to take notes on when the condition worsens, the cosmetics you use, and your lifestyle patterns when you visit for your initial consultation. If you mention in advance that you have dry skin and are concerned about irritation, they will be able to guide you accordingly.200026.10.22
- 02CommentsWhen comparing prices, it would be helpful to request a breakdown of the basic package and optional items per session. Please check which items are included—such as diagnostic imaging, consultation, extraction, anti-inflammatory injections, and prescriptions—and verify if medication costs and VAT are separate. For packages, it would be convenient to compare options under the same conditions if you were informed of the session-specific composition, usage period, and settlement criteria for changing the plan midway.330026.10.22
- 03CommentsIf redness recurs even after extraction, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor to examine your current inflammatory condition and the cause of the recurrence, rather than simply comparing satisfaction reviews. Be sure to receive an explanation regarding the purpose of scaling, extraction, and prescription, as well as the specific items needed at this time. Also, ask when the progress will be evaluated after each session. Before selecting a package, checking the composition of each session, expected irritation, and guidelines for contacting the doctor if your skin becomes redder or painful will help you establish a proper care plan.170026.10.22
