This sounds crazy. If i go out of a night to a bar and party. I get home wasted and just fall on my bed and sleep. Without fail the next day my skin will look how I want it. Plump, even toned, not shiny, healthy. I dont use harsh soap in the shower. Even if I shower with just water on my face it still doesnt look like that.

Last year I used tretinoin 0.025 cream weekly 2-3 times but that did not suit my skin. I experienced mini skin bumps throughout my face. What could be the reason? Also what's the alternative?

This is my current skincare routine, I alternate retinol / 15% azelaic acid and recovery nights during the week. I have very sensitive, dry & red skin. I have been using this routine for about 10 months but don't really see any results. I still have dry, red & textured skin, and I don't really know how to tackle it anymore. Unsure if I should try to remove retinol & azelaic acid and only focus on barrier care for a bit or push through and hope that results will come eventually.

Do you have any experience with these products and want to rant / rave about them? I will gladly accept all thoughts and advice!

For the record, I just turned 23🥸

I had micro-needling done over 24hrs ago. Just a few breakouts here and there, haven’t had severe acne in years and have been on Accutane in the past. A cluster of small white heads and dry skin has formed on one cheek. Is this normal after micro-needling?

i’m using cleave sa cleanser during showers(every day and I let it sit for 3m) I use a Philips one blade, hemp 48 hour moisturizer, and shea butter body oil. what should I change and what am I doing wrong? I’m showering daily and there’s no changes. i mainly have the bumps and ingrown hairs on my legs(all around my thighs)face, and bikini area.I’m planning on getting an ipl or epilator later also.

I’ve been using retinal 0.1% for about 4 years now and my skin loves it, however I’m considering moving up the intensity. I was considering tret but after reading about Tazarotene I’m kind of thinking of just getting that at a low dose.

Would that be a good idea or am I moving up the retinoid hierarchy a bit too fast?

Literally my post keeps getting taken down not sure why? 🥲 I have those small red bumps that flare on my cheeks I need advice on how to get those to calm down or go away pleaseee🫶
also if anyone has advice on how to get rid of acne scars I’m all ears. My ocd makes me pick at my face a lot especially:(

i used to use the cerave foaming cleanser but its a little expensive where i live, japanese products are comparitively cheaper so im thinking of switching to japanese skincare.

please suggest a good non stripping second cleanser for my acne prone clog prone skin. i am using the kose softymo cleansing oil as my first cleanser and i also use tretinoin so looking for a non stripping gentle cleanser.

thanks

Hi everyone I’ve been trying a bunch of popular skin care (specifically korean ones) — beauty of joseon green plum, roundlab dokdo lotion, etc (but I am using it in the shower but I feel like that the only time I can uses it bc I feel like school makes my put off everything else) but I feel like they aren’t really doing anything or there is some problem with it reacting to my skin they start to sting (moisturized - round lab dokdo lotion but only when my skin get pretty dry and that’s when it’s winter/im in the pool - I play waterpolo) or dry my skin out (bc cleanser - beauty of joseon green plum) or my skin gets puffy (salicylic acid the ordinary). I’m trying to find a good skincare routine to clear up some blackheads (on my chin and nose) and prevent/clear up pimples when they show up.

As of rn the only thing i feel like works is the etude 2x intensive barrier cream but i want smth for regular wear when my skin isnt like dying and the murad rapid relied spot treatment

Im looking for a cleaner, toner, mask, moisturizer for everyday wear, sunscreen, smth to treat/prevent hairline acne, make dark circles go away cream (might be bc not much sleep and h20 lol 😭) and other recommendation (korean and non korean!!!)

Also looking for tips for my skin, also idk even if my skin is combo cuz sometimes I get super dry skin (under my chin and forehead) so I might have dry skin but I feel like bc get acne on my nose (feels slightly oily) chin and and hairline.

What's your absolute favourite and nourishing drugstore body moisturizer? Especially for the legs.

I'm looking for something new and would love some recommendations. 💕

any skincare to help with this texture on my forehead? I recently started using tretinoin but that’s it

I am sick and tired of my acne. I’ve hated how I looked for a very long time and never been comfortable with myself . Lately after about 6 months of using Paula’s choice (retinols, vit c serum, niacinamide, and spf moisterizer) I think I’m seeing some of the redness go away but I’m wondering if the coloring will ever really go away.

The first 5 pics are from this last month and the last three were from 5 months ago. The lighting makes the skin look so much better in certain photos so it probably appears like I have more improvement than I do.

Any tips for clearing this up? I’m desperate to have good skin, I had cystic acne 6 years ago and have been dealing with acne issues ever since.
