How are sunscreen and makeup removal checked during an acne and pore consultation?
I am a 30-year-old woman preparing for a consultation because I am concerned about acne and enlarged pores. This time, rather than choosing a treatment right away, I would like to start by reviewing my daily routine regarding sunscreen use and makeup removal. I don't think using a lot of products or washing my face multiple times is necessarily helpful, so I am curious about the criteria used to adjust these routines based on my skin condition.
If I provide information regarding the water resistance of my sunscreen and the amount of makeup I use, could you help me distinguish between days when double cleansing is necessary and days when a single cleanse is sufficient? I am also curious if there are specific types of cleansing products—such as cleansing oils, balms, or waters—that I should avoid first. In addition to product names and ingredient lists, which details would be helpful for the consultation—such as usage amount, rubbing time, or whether my skin feels tight after washing—should I record?
Also, if my acne appears to be increasing after changing my cleansing method, I would like to know how long I should observe the situation before seeking further treatment. Please also advise on how to distinguish between the sensation of enlarged pores and skin irritation from cleansing. Rather than judging based solely on the attached image, I would like to determine a safe management standard after personally examining my condition.

When choosing an acne treatment for the first time, how are Quadsay and Capri lasers distinguished?[6]
CommentsRather than comparing the names of the two procedures, it would be best to make a decision after checking the number of current lesions, the degree of inflammation, and dryness based on the season. If this is your first time, it would make the comparison easier to ask about the specific purpose of each procedure, expected irritation, and moisturizer usage guidelines during the consultation.350026.11.01 - 02CommentsIt would be helpful to know the criteria for rescheduling in advance. When postponing the appointment, would it be okay if I also let you know the remaining amount of medication and the last date of use?160026.11.02
