i have same kind, i tried a lot of products, go to expensive facial, went to dermatologist....but none worked!!! quite frustrating I can say, then I just leave it like that, until someone told me to just see a normal doctor and ask for a pill for acne...its getting better slowly and then i go with the chanel precision whitening foam to clear up the black spots. then maybe you try the Diane35, someone told me its good, I will try when I get my period
Went to the Shiseido counter and bought into the Skincare products (Cleanser / Toner / moisturiser / night cream - for normal skin, but only the non alcoholic toner)....
THey told me that my skin was actually dehydrated but that as a consequence, generated much oil which actually clogged my pores.. hence the dried flaky spots with blackheads even on the cheeks !
Pricy, but after 2 weeks, my skin looks really & already much better, brighter, plumpier.. dry patches have disappear and pores seems to be less large.
Will buy the kaolin / argile mask (to get rid of the last of the blackheads, as advised by the beautician)... a bit later this month.
PS : some of the shiseido the skincare range can be founf in retailers such as Bonjour or Sasa at a lesser price.
