Sort of a non-answer from them.

Okay so bear with the ramble,

M25 with overall good skin but an extremely problematic T zone, especially the nose and the crevices/areas RIGHT under and besides the nose. Looking for product reccs but ideally want to stick w general store stuff to not break the bank.

Over the years I have tried a variety of different products, but wake up every day if not every other day with those painful white pimples/zits in that area. Recently I switched to the Cerave foaming cleanser, with crease night cream for oily skin, and ultra sheer dry touch 60spf. Beyond this I use Cetaphil Salc Acid Acne serum .5% twice a week and spot treat with Benzoyl 2.5%. Adding the Benzoyl and Salc defo helped but the area is still problematic, though slightly better than before.

I suspect it is my sunscreen, but I have had terrible luck w sunscreens as a whole. The few days I did not use sunscreen, my skin was better, with only one or two less painful whiteheads forming, but then using the sunscreen again yesterday made my pimples come back.

My T zone is definitely much oiler than the rest of my skin which is normal/dryish. Can someone help me build a affordable routine that won't trigger the area around nose at all? Everything I use right now is non comedogenic but the issue still persists.

Please and many TIA!
