Changelog
14/03/18 - It's been about a week and a half since starting the Rohto Melano CC Concentration Measures Essence. So far I haven't noticed a big difference to my large hyperpigmentation mark, but I think it's too early to tell. I'll be taking a photo on the 2nd week mark. I just wanted to note that, although this product has butylene glycol, I haven't got any new closed comedones. Butylene glycol is 5th last on the ingredient list so maybe my skin is okay when it is a low percentage. - I forgot to include in last month routine's change log, I had switched out Etude House SoonJung Cica Balm for La Roche-posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm. I use this on my post surgery scars as well as any freshly popped pimples since the ingredients panthenol and madecassoside are great for healing damaged skin. PM replaced Etude House SoonJung Cica Balm with La Roche-posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm.
