I’ll review whether Ethiglo face wash is a suitable choice for your combination skin with one month of hormonal oil and pimples.

🩺 Symptoms

• You report combination skin with increased oiliness and pimples for 1 month, suggesting recent hormonal flare or clogged pores.
• These features often benefit from gentle exfoliation and oil-control while avoiding irritation.

⚕️ What this likely is

• Hormonal acne flare (common on cheeks/jawline).
• Blocked pores/comedonal acne from excess sebum.
• Irritant or product-related inflammation if a new product triggered symptoms.

💊 Suitability of Ethiglo Face Wash

• Key helpful ingredients: salicylic acid (acne-fighting, pore-clearing) and niacinamide (reduces oil/inflammation).
• Caution: glycolic/lactic acids (exfoliants), kojic acid (brightening) and perfume may increase irritation if skin is sensitive; triclosan has antibacterial action but can be drying/controversial.
• Overall: Reasonable to try, but use carefully and monitor for irritation.

🏥 Practical steps (use these)

• Patch-test on inner forearm for 48 hours before full-face use.
• Start once daily (evening), then increase to twice if well tolerated.
• Rinse with lukewarm water, follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and daily sunscreen.
• Avoid using other strong acids or retinoids at the same time.
• Stop if burning, worsening pimples, or persistent dryness occurs.

⚠️ When to see a dermatologist

• Worsening redness, painful nodules, or spreading infection.
• No improvement after 6–8 weeks or if you’re using oral/topical acne medications.
• Severe scarring or large cysts developing.

🩺 FOLLOW_UP

• Are you currently using any prescription acne treatments (topical or oral)?
• Do you have known sensitivities to fragrances or antibacterial agents?

I recommend seeing a dermatologist for personalised treatment if symptoms persist or worsen.
