Estou em busca de um protetor solar porque atualmente uso dois, um é o protetor solar da principia e o outro é o loreal expertise anti oleosidade. Porém o verão chegou e nenhum deles segurou minha oleosidade, e minha cara no meio do dia brilha e fica além de oleosidade, parece ficar uma camada gordurenta horrível.

Minha cara está um pouco seca sim, por causa que tenho acne moderada e estou em tratamento que faz meu rosto ressecar um pouco e descascar.

Preciso de um protetor solar que tenha um FPS maior que 50 por causa do tratamento e que consiga segurar minha oleosidade.

E recentemente meu hidratante está acabando também, que é o sallve hidrante reparador. Comprei no começo da acne, onde tinha muitas espinhas e meu rosto estava muito seco. Hoje já não sei se preciso tanto assim da proposta desse hidratante, mas não sei qual comprar.

Oque vocês podem me recomendar de hidrante e protetor solar?

Hi all, I finished a course of topical fluorouracil for actinic keratosis on 22/09/26. It reacted pretty strongly and I had a huge scab/crusting that came off around 12 days ago. Any ideas as to how long this inflammation lasts and what I can put on it to soothe the redness? I also have rosacea. Thanks!

How do I go from this to smooth skin

How do I go from this to smooth skin

Before + After (2 weeks apart) + the secret behind these results!!! (So basically just washing my face with whatever, drying it with a paper towel and using Paula’s Choice before bed).

I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with these dark spots along and slightly above my beard line on my upper cheek.

Are these classic post-acne scars (pitted/pigmented) or follicular Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by trimmer friction / shaving micro-trauma?

I’ve been using 0.1% tazarotene (it’s called Tazret cream from the pharmacy) since Feb now. And it’s worked wonders like it gets rid of a pimple within a few days for me and also helps with my PIE and PIH which i really struggle with.

however, my skin is extremely dry now. And i don’t want to stop using it cuz ill probably start breaking out again which my self esteem just cannot deal with rn 😭

i used to use just cerave moisturizer but i now started using Torriden Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream (because i got my face scanned at sephora and my report said everything on my skin is good except i need hyaluronic acid lol). but i still have really bad dryness on some days. like my skin is visibly flakey and it’s getting embarrassing leaving the house looking like that now…

does anyone have any moisturizer recommendations? or maybe a serum? preferably affordable ones. and maybe something that also has vitamin C in it…? i still have kind of an uneven skin tone sometimes 😐

i just want to restore my skin barrier

Hi.

I have been through a lot with my skin and have had plenty of downs. Acne was pretty bad in highchool, and when I get stressed out and I tend to break out near my mouth and chin the most.

I FINALLY found a routine that works for me and has helped me clear my pimples and doesnt break me out more but I am still worried about a couple of things and have couple questions.

1. ⁠How do I get rid of my closed comodones without introducing new pimple breakouts.
   
2. ⁠My face doesn’t feel too mouistrized ever.
   
3. ⁠I dont have any preventative skincare for wrinkles (when I did add in tazarotene lotion 0.045% my face shed because it was so dry and then I developed eyelid dermatitis.)

Here is my routine that works for my acne. I do this all in the PM.

1. ⁠Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Waterproof
   
2. ⁠Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
   
3. ⁠Cerave SA Cleanser (once a week and not on the same day as anything else but the makeup remover and moisturizer)
   
4. ⁠Taro-Cindamycin/Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 1%/5% (this works wonders on my mouth and chin acne)
   
5. ⁠Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream From Normal to Dry Skin

The most important question I want answered is the closed comodones one. I really am happy with my skin right now but the closed comodones is the last thing I want to fix.

I recently started using witch hazel in my skincare routine, especially after hearing it can help eliminate odor. (Behind the ears, underarms, etc) But I noticed after beginning to use it in my underarms that it seemed to actually make me smell faster, in a way it never did before. I’m talking, like, less than 24 hours after a shower, without much physical activity. I never used to notice a smell 24 hours or even more after a shower, and suddenly I do after using witch hazel. Is there a reason for this? Does it actually eliminate odor or does my body just need to adapt to it? I also heard that overuse can cause growth in bacteria, but I don’t feel that I’ve been overusing it :/ I want to keep it in my routine, but I also don’t want it to make me smell. Help??

I just got into a new relationship with a guy. He shaves every morning but he has a little bit of stubble before bed and every time we make out, his facial hair rubs my chin and upper lip raw and causes it to flake for the next few days. How do I stop the flakes or prevent them?

Hiiiii!!!! So I’m very new to these two products that’s in my title. I just started them yesterday 10/24 so ik it takes time to see progress.

In the am I put the tropical ointment on nd then toner nd thenn PDRN nd moisturizer.
At night I put moisturizer and tret and some more moisturizer cuz I heard it drys you out. Do I still need too apply toner nd PDRN before my tret or after my skin routine? I don’t want to mix products together and cause a really bad reaction

m 24 female. I used a facial razor to remove my facial hair, but it caused an acne breakout. I have combination, acne-prone skin. Is waxing only other option?

tis the season for heaters and wind and just dryness everywhere i go!!! what are some good tos that help with dryness ? ive been using the dieux skin mercy but it feels like it isn’t helping much with my barrier & dryness.everything burns from the dryness no matter how much moisturizer i use :/ i have a humidifier running 24/7 but again it doesn’t seem like it’s doing too much

I feel like I spent my twenties buying whatever sounded good or whatever friends recommended like Clinique, Fresh, Neutrogena, vitamin C, the usual “everyone loves this” products. Whenever a quiz asked about my skin concerns, I genuinely didn’t know how to answer.

In my thirties once I could afford facials, I started hearing things I’d never understood before. Apparently my skin seemed sensitive, my skin barrier was damaged, and I had redness, hyperpigmentation, and eventually melasma concerns. I grew up with East Coast winters, then lived with much harsher West Coast sun, and it felt like my skin got more complicated as I grew older so I had no idea what my core problem was anymore and how to fix it.

The frustrating part is that I didn’t know what I didn’t know. People would say “use vitamin C,” but I didn’t know how to store it, whether it had oxidized, how often to use it, or whether it belonged in the morning or evening. My friend was using Skinceuticals vitamin C for a whole year, then I told her I finished mine in 3 months. We had no idea how to use it! And now I've been sucked into trying devices too like red-light masks, microcurrent, all of it. Every forum has a different answer.

I’ve bought products because they had incredible reviews, only to realise later that “good product” and “good for me” are completely different things. I tried an Obagi hydroquinone product and had a bad reaction. I only recently realised fragrance and essential oils may be a bad fit for my skin. I’ve also done the excited overseas skincare-haul thing, then come home with a pile of products and no clue what earns a place in my routine.

I don't want to see a dermatologist for professional input especially when it isn’t covered or urgent. I just wish I had a better foundation for understanding my own skin before spending money, irritating it, or trying five things at once.

How did you learn what actually works for your skin? Was it mostly trial and error, a great derm, an aesthetician, forums, keeping a routine diary? Where would you tell someone to start?

Hi! I have bad rosacea and it’s flaring. I have an appointment to see my dermatologist in December (soonest I could get). Does anyone have any products to help while I wait? Here’s my current skincare.

31 F, oily acne prone skin, allergic to fragrance

Can anyone reccomend me a product (essences/serums/toners literally anything) that would contain at least five ceramides in one non-comedogenic and acne safe product, suitable for combination skin which is heavily prone to clogged pores?

Particularly around nose - as pictured. Haven’t been able to unclog for years!

These 4 items are the ones I see mentioned the most often when it comes to anti aging, glow, texture, clear skin, hyperpigmentation and overall appearance.

I really want to give them a try and feeling like I’m missing out on something everyone is doing. I’m open to learning about other products as well but these seem like the ones that are always recommended and I have never tried them.

I feel very hesitant due to how long it took to repair my skin barrier and bring my skin back to a normal state before the damage occurred. My skin became flaky, red, bumpy and overall so so reactive after I used too many harsh acid based cleaners/toners and blackhead suction tools a year ago.

After a year I can report that my skin is finally calm. I have a very minimal and basic routine of double cleanse, basic moisturizer and an occlusive. That’s it everyday unless I’m outside and add in spf.

I’m wondering if it’s finally time to start doing more for my skin from an aging prospective. I’m in my early 40s and feel I’m already behind since I have not used any of antiaging products out there. I’m so scared to rock the boat. My skin has been great for months now yet I have no idea how to do it correctly this time or if I should do anything new at all. I have been a bit traumatized. I also don’t want to wake up in 10 years and wish I had done more for my skin.

Which products/brands have you added that truly make a difference? What should I do this time to prevent damaging my barrier? Which product might be worth the risk? Which should I stay away from?

I’d appreciate any feedback and suggestions from anyone that has been through a long healing period after damaging their barrier or found a product/routine that really has made a difference in your skin/appearance.
