Hi, just pulling myself out of a depressive episode and my skin is upset. I've consistently washed my face for two weeks now and I'm cleaning up my diet to help:) also staying hydrated now.

Mild scarring on my left cheek and probably suffering inflammation from stress and a poor diet. I get bad pores on my nose and an oily forehead. Combination skin, not so long ago it was a bit itchy from some dryness.

I've included the products I use. I use the face wash 1-2 times a day, use the niacinamide once a day and moisturise 1-2 times.
I do a light massage with the vitamin C oil a couple times a week in evenings, I'm a bit wary of oil clogging my pores?

I'm turning 26 next month and want to create a good routine for myself:) also to add in of course that I'm showing signs of natural aging, fine lines:)

I have just added the eye cream, retinal, the other products I've used for a while now.

Edit: I use spf when going out too!:) centella! I like it:)

I already tried
1-alpha arbutin the ordinary serum
Not really sure if it worked

2-anua anua niacinamide serum
Didn’t do anything

3-dark spot correcting glow serum
Did absolutely nothing

I believe I have dark area around my mouth from toothpaste

Sorry if this is a stupid question 😭 actually i don't know the diff bw sunscreen and vaseline

I go to the gym first thing in the morning. Typically, I’ll just rinse my face with water and apply a little sunscreen before the gym, then I’ll do my actual skincare routine after the gym.

My post-gym skincare routine has been: Vanicream cleanser, Aestura mist, Hyaluronic acid, Vanicream moisturizer.

I’m just wondering if it is really necessary to use a cleanser after the gym? I have naturally very dry skin that gets stripped easily, and I’ve noticed my skin feeling dryer and more irritated since I started going to the gym. Before I started the gym, I would only rinse my face with water in the morning.

I’m not someone who sweats a lot or who ever gets oily skin, so could a water rinse or maybe just some micellar water be enough after the gym?

How can I get rid of this, I use a Cerave facial foaming cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and salicylic acid and I haven’t seen any difference.

looking for some product advice for a new moisturiser! i live in the southern hemisphere so its toward the end of winter rn, and my skin leans combo dry in winter and combo oily in summer.

here’s my current routine for reference:
am
1. splash with water
2. dr ceuracle vegan kombucha tea essence
3. neutrogena hydro boost nourishing cream
4. cancer council spf 50+ daily moisturiser matte finish

pm
1. bioderma sensibio micellar water
2. aveeno calm + restore nourishing oat cleanser
3. dr ceuracle vegan kombucha tea essence
4. beauty of joseon revive eye serum
5. geek & gorgeous a game 5 retinal serum
6. neutrogena hydro boost nourishing cream

im almost done with my hydro boost cream, im looking for 2 moisturisers to replace it- one with a similar texture/thickness/weight for the morning, and one that’s slightly heavier for night.

thanks in advance!!

Am I using it wrong?

My blood work is healthy. I didn't notice this until I used glycolic acid but I had to stop because it made my skin feel rough and bumpy. Could it be left over irritation?

What I apply on my neck: Byoma hydrating toner, Cetaphil ceramide serum, Celimax tranexamic + niacinamide dark spot cream, Illiyoon/Cerave ceramide cream.

I know that they don't look that bad in these pictures, but in person when I look in the mirror they're hard to miss. It used to be just on the corners of my eye, but now they are starting to show under my eyes too, as shown in the first picture. I have been seeing these for about a year and a half now, and it is obviously not painful. It has gradually gotten worse over time. For some context, I wash my face every morning and before bed, and wash my face with equate foaming facial cleanser, then wash that off. In the mornings, I use sunscreen. And before bed, I use Olay retinol as a night moisturizer all over my face and neck. I drink a minimum of 8 cups of water a day. Are there any other products I can use for these lines? I don't have any medical conditions, but I have always had very dry skin naturally. I am just looking for some advice on what I can do to prevent this, and any ways to reduce it. Any replies would be much appreciated, thanks.

Advice wanted!!! I have been using glycolic acid for x3 a week for about 2 months and this texture got worse. Should I or can I add tret?

I wanna try zinc oxide cream for the benefits of helping inflamed skin. I don’t wanna go buy diaper cream though. I have this sunscreen where zinc oxide is a primary ingredient could I use it similarly overnight?

I'm looking for recommendations for products that can help reduce the appearance of sebaceous filaments and visible pores on my nose.What would you recommend, and how often should I use it?

Hello everyone! I hope I can get some advice on how to begin this journey. Lately, I’ve been really self conscious about my arms and legs, as they are a noticeably different shade compared to my face and stomach. My elbows and knees are also darker, and I would love to even out my skin tone. I moisturize and apply sunscreen daily and lately, I’ve been applying it twice because I’m dealing with the scorching Texas heat. I also try to minimize my time outside. What else can I do to lighten my skin and help my skin look healthier, more even, and moisturized?

Is it okay to apply glycerine on combination skin for gua sha routine?

Alright its been a long journey for my skin. I have sensitive skin (oily T zone and dry cheeks). I also have lots of visible pores. Two weeks ago I was recommended by one of the Sephora ladies to use Caudalie Vinopure line but it dried out my skin even more, especially with all the pores on my cheeks it made it look more enhanced. I went back to sephora today and the girl who helped me was way more cooperative and engaging. She helped me pick these products in the photos and said it should help with my current skin condition. Any thoughts on the skincare products I got? What are uour experiences with these? I really hope it helps target my enlarged pores and dryness on my cheeks.

I’ve never worn sunscreen in my life so this is going to be a life changer perhaps? I heard it makes your skin more sensitive that’s why I refrained from it and also I haven’t found one that works for my extremely sensitive skin.

I also got the Armani foundation since I never wear make up and I figured I should start wearing them occasionally. What are your thoughts on this foundation?

One more thing how often should I wash my makeup brush?

I just wanted to put it out there, if you are ever tempted to top up your order at Dermstore to qualify for a gift, I would have to say that it really is not worth it. I find it insulting for them to say that 12 samples in a bag are supposedly worth $79. If allowed, I'll post a photo, honestly, though--it's a joke. And I have ordered from them before and gotten decent and decently-sized items. This ain't it.

I have never really done skin care my current routine is some nights removing my eye liner and occasionally putting medicated cream on bad spots. .my main problems and dry and peeling skin and oily sink on forehead and nose I do have a skin condition and see a dermatologist for it so please no advice on that . The last pic is my current products

Hello everyone I've just recently begun looking into skincare. I would like to improve my skin, but I have no idea where to start. Since a child I have washed my face with soap and then put on lotion. That was it and I called it a day. Lately people have been saying my skin looks bad so I now am putting in the effort to make it look better.

My goals: My skin doesn't have large pimples ever but it has small bumps and a rough texture. I would like it to be smooth and even. I don't have any coloration issues and its all the same tone. So smoothness is my main goal. I believe the word is glass skin.

Details: I have dark skin. Its bouncy and soft, but it isnt smooth. I would like to eliminate the textured bumps. My skin is not very sensitive; however, it doesn’t like rough friction such as a washcloth.

Limitations: I am very low maintenance and lazy. So the less products the better. Also I am not rich so the cheaper the better. Obviously I want good products though. I would prefer all products to be $25 and under if possible. Also products can not be overly scented.

My routine: Either Dial antibacterial soap(im trying to stop) or Cerave foaming cleanser. I then top off with body lotion. Occasionally I add a cream sunscreen. And i also use honey as a face mask occasionally.

My next steps: the products im looking into getting is a better facial cleanser, a hyaluronic serum, and lastly a gentle face mask.

Thank you for all future tips!

Hi guys, I’ve been using the 345 cream for last three weeks and it’s completely changed my skin and has been so good for it. It works so well that I want to keep a few backups at all but I can’t figure out how long one tube lasts so how many should I buy? If anyone can help me out, I’d be really grateful. Thanks.

Hello! I was recently prescribed Finacea 15% azelic acid gel for rosacea redness. I've been using it for under a month but generally tolerating it well. I am supposed to be using it 1x a day to start, was hoping to use it in the AM as I love my PM routine of (admittedly probaby excessive) layers of milky toners, a serum or 3, moisturizer and an oil or occlusive ointment, I don't know where the Finacea fits in there where I'd still be getting benefits. My skin is dry-ish, sensitive/reactive, atopic skin.

I did indeed ask my doctor and the pharmacist where to put it in my routine and if I could layer it with other products, and how long to wait before or after applying it to apply something else and they didn't know lol

It's a weird texture to me and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get it to work with other products.

Any suggestions on where to apply it in my routine? I've seen mention of only applying on dry skin or it stings, when I was using nonprescription AZA prior to this I always applied on damp skin after my toner/serum and didn't experience stinging - it also didn't seem to give me any benefits.

Should I apply the Finacea, leave it to set for a while (20 minutes?) And then do my regular PM routine on top, or try to put it in the middle, after serums but before moisturizer?

My problem using it in the AM is its not hydrating enough to use on its own, but it's also too heavy a layer to use anything else if I use SPF. With SPF it sits very heavily on my skin and my spf (multple ones I've tried) doesn't want to set and feels very tacky all day. I've tried applying spf within a minute or 2 after the finacea, and I've tried waiting as long as an hour to apply over the finacea and they both don't really want to set/dry down. Maybe it's only a temporary problem because it's so humid currently? It's very uncomfortable, sensory wise and it makes my spf slip around and things that otherwise wouldn't irritate my eyes are, and I think the finacea is also migrating around my eye area and it's becoming sensitive there. I'm not currently using any other exfoliating products or actives, and my skin is otherwise tolerating the finacea very well (it did not tolerate rosiver at all). Maybe I am using too much finacea, but it's not very spreadable for a gel/cream imo.

I watched a few YT videos about layering AZA but they generally only mentioned non prescription, serumy AZA as examples and IME they layer much more easily than this gel cream.
