• Your skin type appears dry, sensitive yet acne-prone, suggesting a compromised skin barrier rather than purely oily acne skin
• Peeling near nose/under-eye area is commonly due to irritation, dehydration, or mild seborrheic/irritant dermatitis
• Dullness indicates lack of hydration and barrier repair, not just cleansing issues
Next Steps
• Choose a gentle, soap-free, hydrating cleanser (cream/gel-based, low-foam, fragrance-free) suitable for sensitive skin
• Avoid over-cleansing or using active-based face washes (salicylic acid, strong foaming cleansers) for now
• Focus on restoring barrier first, then acne-specific care can be introduced gradually
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Wash face only 2 times daily with lukewarm water—avoid hot water
• Always follow with a good moisturizer (ceramide-based preferred) to reduce peeling
• Avoid scrubs, exfoliation, and harsh actives near eye/nose area until skin settles
Kindly consult with me via practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
