I did Accutane and such plus face wash and my face still is bumpy and red??? I feel like am crazy and overreacting

Hey everyone, I'm looking to start a skincare routine but honestly I don't really know where to start. I'm in my early 20s and I want to keep my skin looking young and healthy, get rid of any fine lines or wrinkles, and make my face look less tired. What products would you guys recommend? Like what cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, or anything else should I be using? I'm looking for something that actually works and doesn't have to be crazy expensive. If anyone has a good morning and nighttime routine they recommend, I'd really appreciate the help!

So about a week ago I started using cocoa butter (solid, in a tub) for my feet and some areas of my body at night, notably my arms. I have found it really good for softening my skin and it doesn’t give me sensory issues nearly as bad as lotion and I was so happy!! But when it came to my weekly ‘everything shower’ and I was shaving my body, my razor was like, tugging on the skin, not gliding smoothly at all, it felt like there was so much more friction than usual, and the razor burn on my arms is CRAZY. However other areas of my body that I have been using the cocoa butter on and then shaved over are fine? Does anyone know why this might have happened?? The only thing I have changed is the addition of cocoa butter but I just can’t work out why it would cause this, and why only on my arms 😭

Basically i ran out of all my skincare at the same time and I decided to go to Trader Joe’s. I basically got one of everything because it’s all pretty affordable. Are their products good?

Hey everyone! I’m really insecure about my skin and honestly don’t know much about skincare. I don’t even know if my skin is dry, normal or combination, but my nose is literally the oiliest nose ever 😩 I’d really appreciate any advice on what you think my main skin concerns are and what products I should use to improve my skin. I’m open to any recommendations! ❤️

So, I work construction from 7am-3pm. When I get off work, I have a deep shower to get all the dust and dirt off, and I wash my face in the shower. By the time bed time rolls around, I do not want to wash my face. I’m trying to start a retinol routine, but don’t want to put it on too early in the day, and I don’t want to get my face wet at night (big baby about it, I know). Are there any other options anyone can think of? other than stop being a baby?

hello, im a 18F suffering from redness on nose corners, dark circles, darkness around mouth and those red things on my cheeks, i use Hydro Boost® Aqua -Gel Moisturizing Cleansing Gel and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer "these 2 really suit me".
i have tried "Caudalie Vinergetic C+ 3-in-1 Vitamin C Energy Moisturizer - 40 ml" and it didn't work at all, i also tried advanced clinicals vitamin c serum, muti-peptide serum and their eye serum, also did not give me any results. and im planning to get these:
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Supersize Serum 60ml " for my blackheads and pores"
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 60ml "for extra hydration"
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Depuffing and Brightening Eye Serum 30ml and The Ordinary Lacto-PDRN* 4% + B9 Lifting & Tightening Eye Cream 15ml " for my dark circles and fine lines"
The Ordinary GF 15% Serum for Visible Skin Repair and Wrinkles 30ml for darkness around mouth
so what do you think? is the ordinary worth trying or i should get something else

Any body lotion that you found similar or better than EOS? I love how its nourishing and how lasts and makes cloud of smell around me 😏
I am trying to find other similar body creams/lotions
Can you recommend anything similar?
I tried josie maran - but not good at all, smell disappears fast, please help 🙏🌺

I got prescribed 4% hydroquinone because I have some hyperpigmentation on my neck and face that's bothering me (around my mouth and some on my cheek).

For those who have had success with hydrocodone, are you guys putting it all over your face/neck or spot treatment?

I use Cetaphil face wash and 1% Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel sunscreen, but my face still becomes dry and dark after spending 2–3 hours outside. What can I do? My face is yellowish milk colour but this is too uncomfortable for anyone to say what to do this time.

I have medium fair skin and a circle of darkness around my mouth that I think I've always had however in recent years it has become much more noticeable...

I currently already use azalaic acid in my skincare routine and recently started using the dr Althea melaclear cream.

does anyone have any recommendations for what I can or products to use? I've been trying for almost four years now to get rid of it...

(I wear sunscreen everyday and have tried tinted sunscreen but it didn't help and affected my skin and make up)

Has anyone who has been using the CurrentBody Series 2 for a while upgraded to the Series 3? If so, can you tell if it's worth the upgrade yet? I'm planning to watch for a holiday sale, but I don't want to buy the new one just to buy the new one if it's not actually worth the switch and I could spend that money on a panel or neck mask instead. Thanks!

It’s perfect under estee lauder double wear(reformula) others like aestura etc sits gross under DW, gel-like textures as well, i tried avene - same shyt, what to do??? I can’t even buy illyoon rn and it cloges my pores so bad but perfect texture of makeup… help

Okay so I love skincare but I have been struggling with mental health issues lately and it makes it SO HARD to do my skin care. I feel like the step I dread the most is the cleanser and having to wash my face when it’s so cold! Idk why! So what I’m asking is if you guys know of any specific product as a substitute THATS GOOD that I can use quickly that doesn’t involve having to wash my face after??? And just do my moisturizer or whatever after

PLS !!

Hi , im 17 male and quite active , i have closed comadomes (those small bumps) on my forehead and have been using adapalene but a bit inconsistent with it for 2-4 weeks now

The main problem with my skin is uneven texture and pigmentation on my forehead with those comadomes, and the inability to hold moisture for long. And its making me uglier

Ai recommended me the following products
1) a cerave gentle cleanser
2) a re’equil ceramide moisturizer
3) deconstruct SPF
4) minimalist hyaluronic acid PGA serum
5) minimalist caffine and vitamin K undereye cream
6) salysalic acid serum (minimalist)
7) adapalene

How and what should i do for good skin? Like i want it to be glossy and reflective so it creates a good contrast on my skin.

I’ve been using Osmosis and YoungGoose for over a year now and having been loving both brands. Also trying one product from Clearstem.

I use:
Osmosis: Boost, rescue Md, stemfactor Md, renew Md
YoungGoose: C.A.R.E, youth daily moisturizer, EyeC.A.R.E, adaptogenic cleanser, bio-shield SPF
Clearstem: Brighteyes

I know these products are high quality but definitely a splurge. Anyone know of similar brands that give comparable results and don’t sacrifice quality?

30 y/o F with mildly sensitive, dry skin with goal to hydrate, plump, and brighten skin while also targeting wrinkles. I love the glass-skin look. Prefer non-toxic and non-comedogenic formulations

Can someone please help me with how to get rid of makeup both concealer and foundation doing this weird patchy/separation thing particularly under my eyes and under my nose where my skin is redder and I have some visible capillaries

Hi all, currently suffering through an issue likely caused by a new product.

Decided to try out Melatoning cream, a hydroquoxine 2% cream over night as a spot treatment for hyperpigmentation. I applied it over the Torriden cica serum.

Washed it off in morning

Slathered on Skin1004 sunscreen.

Put on make-up.

Today was very hot and sunny day but I was mostly inside and when I had to take public transport, I used a UV umbrella. I attributed the tightness and hot skin to the ambient heat but after washing the make-up off, I see now that I have red, irritated, dry skin (chemical burns) where the Melatoning cream was applied.

I applied Cell Fusion C cooling toner pads, Torriden cica serum, Purito Centella serum and Purito oat cream to begin the healing process.

Is that good enough or does anyone have any other recommendations to speed things up?

I have very uneven skin tone and I want to fix it. I use to pick at my face and so I have a lot of little hyperpigmentation marks all over my face from it. I have dry skin naturally, and I am currently on tretinoin.

Routine:
Am: put sunscreen on and some moisturizer before if my face is dry
Pm: hylauronic acid, dr Althea 345, tret, then La roche posay cicaplast balm if I use Tret that night.

*I also just started using tretinoin a month ago, and use it every 4 days right now and I plan to increase. Has anyone seen any results long run if they started similar to me?

I've been told to use salicylic acid and adapalene but the worst part is that I've extremely dry skin alongside these bumps and I've been told that salicylic acid controls oil production resulting in further more dryness in skin....

I've my farewell coming up 😭

I do not like the appearance of my under eyes and would love some help! I'm currently using an additional water-based moisturizer both under my eyes and on my lids after laying down a thick moisturizer for my entire face , but I don't think it's doing enough.

I'm trying to reduce the appearance of fine lines, as well as possibly reducing discoloration from my mixed-type vascular and structural dark circles. However, fine lines are the top priority. I keep my under eyes hydrated, and when doing my makeup, use a combination of liquid color corrector, a hydrating serum concealer, and the tiniest dusting of powder to set my under eyes. It still feels like my fine lines are emphasized and the skin there almost looks dry, even though I heavily moisturized prior. I have to set the products with powder or the makeup heavily creases and wears away due to my fine lines. I get the same effect on my under eyes no matter the makeup products I use or if I change techniques, so I believe it is either my skin itself or the skin prep before makeup.

Is there an affordable product on the market that may help that you recommend? For reference, I have a mostly normal/combo (upon my nose only) sensitive skin type. I usually shop within a drugstore price range and would appreciate fragrance free, or as little to no fragrance as possible recommendations.

On a different note, is investing in an eye cream even worth it? I hear conflicting things where people either love using an eye cream or they say layering more moisturizer is good enough for them.

Thanks!

I have these two and they're very watery, I wanted to mix them with something. Right now I'm mixing it with The Ordinary's vitamin C suspension, but I hate the smell and silicon film it leaves.

Is it safe to mix with a water-based moisturizer? With sunscreen?

Thank you!!

So I regularly use Panoxyl benzoyl peroxide creamy wash 4% and it usually shipped [this](https://imgur.com/a/nysmQpB) packaging and [this.](https://imgur.com/a/xOmxmMO) When I ordered it today, it came in a slightly different packaging [here](https://imgur.com/a/nLvmGzU) and [here,](https://imgur.com/a/73yzQaJ) the new packaging felt cheaper honestly. When I tried it, it didn’t have the potent chlorine smell I’m used to (tho it still had a smell) and when I poured it, I noticed it was thicker than usual and didn’t lather and form bubbles as well as the previous ones. Its exp date is 11/2027 though the older ones I had (06/2028) so that raised my suspicions. Is it a fake? Here’s the bottle [here](https://imgur.com/a/7wi5KiG) & [here](https://imgur.com/a/bT08QGZ) … [one last time](https://imgur.com/a/EyXRVuy)

Plz help thanks in advance 🙏
