Hi I'm new here, I've been reading a while, as I'm got my skin somewhat under control so I figure it's time to get serious about skin care.

I'm 32, black and have Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, along with some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation spots.
Where the SD was a peeling mess is now a lighter color adding the dark spots from pih and my skin is a dull disgrace Sad

I would like to be able to walk out of the house without makeup, so here I am.

For skincare right now I'm not using much, to moisturize I'm using Lush's Dream Cream because it's soothing, for washing a glycolic acid wash, I picked up from the supermarket, once a week I use a shampoo that helps to keep the SD under control, the last time I saw the derm he basically said all he would do for the SD would be steroids and since I had it under control there was nothing he'd advise Rolling Eyes

So here I am, I bought a clarisonic waiting on it to arrive, and a new moisturizer First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair.
I'm still looking for a cleanser, and something to help with the dullness.
I'm open to pretty much anything within reason.

Thanks

try retin A for the spots and maybe a skin lightening cream with kojic acid

using a vitamin C serum is great for dullness - but I am not sure if how that will work with Seborrhoeic Dermatitis. I would ask you derm.

It looks like you need something soothing that will not irritate you further. Garden of Wisdom has great soothing creams and product that are designed not to further aggravate skin conditions like rosacea.
