Sensitive Skin Client with Hormonal Acne - Need some help

I am pretty familiar with Skin Script's protocols and the products I should prescribe for this client, but I'd like to see what others' think.

She has been using Dermalogica for about 7 years, and I think she's just become immune to it. She also gave birth to her son a couple years ago, and that's when her acne became worse.

She has sensitive skin, but would classify herself as having combination skin right now and a lot of uneveness. I'd like to start her off with samples to see how it goes for her, and she lives in another state (IL) - she is a family friend, and I suggested she might want to find a Skin Script provider in her state to provide facials and peels if she can't see me.

Her acne doesn't normally come to a head - it's the common description of large bumps with nothing coming out of them.

For a homecare routine, can you suggest the exact samples I should start her out with? I'd really appreciate it. Also, she is using Glo Satin II Finish foundation and Smashbox powder as her makeup currently. I don't know much about those products, but I'm going to look into it to see if they contribute to her problem.

Any help is really appreciated!

I was referring to papular acne in general. Glad that you and your client are loving Skin Script! Keep working with the Cucumber Hydrating Toner. (By the way...we have a special on our Cucumber Hydrating Toner right now; purchase the professional back-bar size and receive double the samples!!) You also should consider using our Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum, based in Hyaluronic Acid, Sphingolipids and Phospholipids. Great product that binds water for the cells and also helps slow TEWL. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Hi Sheila, Dave and Lisa - GREAT news! My client LOVES Skin Script! She sent me a text last night, thanking me. She said people are starting to notice her skin and how great it looks, so she has passed along my information and the products that she is using. She said it's the first time in years she has been able to leave the house without putting makeup on. Happy Skin Script customer right there - just thought I would share! (PS Sheila - she did get off of the Glo Minerals and onto Pur Minerals too.)
