This moisturiser repaired my skin in 1 week!

To give y’all some background, I have oily skin and I occasionally get very minor hormonal acne. I’m also in a line of work where I do get to try a fair bit of skincare, but unfortunately when I use something that is not suitable for my skin or if I’m using too many actives, I break out quite badly. I also have a very bad habit of squeezing out the acne so my skin can get quite raw.

I’m sure most Singaporeans will be familiar with the brand Suubalm. Formulated by National Skin Centre, it contains not 1, not 3, but 5 skin identical ceramides (most brands only contain 3). I’ve loved using this as a body moisturiser but I do not use it on my face as it contains menthol which makes my eyes uncomfortable. Recently the brand launched a sister brand, Vytle, which also contains 5 ceramides, but without the menthol.

I started using this when I started having a really bad breakout after using a sunscreen that did not work for me. In the 4th image, 31st Aug, you see I’m starting to get a lot of underground acne. At this point I stopped all my skincare and started Vytle moisturiser to try and repair my skin barrier. On the first use, the texture is amazing, it absorbed almost instantly, and leaves the skin smooth and not sticky.

5th Sep, this was after all the acne started emerge and I squeezed out quite a few big ones. My skin was very inflammed. I used a bit of vitamin c serum on the healed acne in my nose but when it touched red parts of my cheek, it hurt so I had to wash it off. I only continued with the vytle moisturiser.

8th Sep you can see the redness has subsided but some of the pigmentation still need time to fade. Tbh this is the fastest my skin has recovered and I will definitely continue with this in my skincare routine!
