Okay, so it's quite hot out even at night when I take a stroll. Will a misting fan be fine if I have moisturizer on my face? Also, how long should I wait for the moisturizer to set in completely, as I tend to sweat easily, the moment there's no AC or fan.

benzoyl peroxide is good at treating active acne, but it also works as a preventative if you apply to your entire face. it goes deep into your skin and kills bacteria that would have caused future pimples.

anyone here on Adapalene/Differin? how is it working for you? i recently started it for the second time. the first time around, i applied it nightly like the packaging says and it burned my face so bad. this time i'm applying every 3 nights at first and i'll work my way up to nightly. i'm moisturizing and using sunscreen of course.

Effective for what?

I use them to reduce hyperpigmentation. Results vary depending on which brand I'm using. The ones listed on Amazon I find aren't that effective, as they are some weird blend. Best results I had was from Wishtrend 21.5. If you need a cheap alternative, look into the Ordinary line. Try out the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin. Yhe Vitamin C 30% with silicone is ok if you want something stronger but will pill up.

red spots are harder to fade than brown spots. it's called post inflammatory erythema (the brown spots are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). laser therapy at a dermatologist office is the best treatment, but the spots can fade with time.

wearing strong sunscreen daily and not picking at the spots will help in time.

My moisture barrier seems to be fucked, at least I think.

Out of the shower, I apply toner, hydating essence and hydrating serum, all spaced apart well enough. And then my skin is oily as fuck. Is it because of the damaged moisture barrier?

Can anyone recommend a cleanser for oily/sensitive skin and damaged moisture barrier.

Please update us every single day. I want to know exactly when you start to scream your eyes out.
>>14483511
Oiliness is not a sign of it. If your skin is oddly wrinkly and scaly only then consider that the moisture barrier may be damaged. Also look for extrensic factors, like overly dry weather whether hot or cold.
Overproduction of oil on the other hand is caused by stripping too much of it from the skin in some way. Are you sure your showers aren't hot? What is this toner you are using? What do your serums contain?

Anonymous Mon Jul 15 16:31:28 2019 No.14483600

>>14483554
Regardless of the oiliness, the best way to treat dehydrated skin is by maximizing moisturization and minimizing trans-epidermal-water-loss (TEWL). This means dropping any products other than the ones that add to moisturization and introduce occlusives. Such a routine would look like this:
1. Gentle gel cleanser, or better yet an oil cleanser, to not strip away too much oil from the skin. Alternatively, washing with water only can be done once a day.
2. Humectant such as hyaluronic acid
3. Moisturizer with urea (even better if it includes ceramides on top)
4. Occlusive (Aquaphor, Cerave's Healing Ointment or if you're cheap then vaseline)
Because this routine is quite heavy it's best to apply in the evening. The duration taken to fix the skin can be from a few weeks to several months depending on how bad it is.

here it goes then

I've been facing dandruff for years. It gets better and then worse and repeat ad infinitum.

I've tried farmacy shampoos against Malassezia, head n shoulders, dermatitis shampoos, apple cider vinegar... nothing works.

If I stop shampooing, it will get extremely oily and scaly.
If I wash, it gets dry and flaky and scabby.

I've had problem with my skin under the beard as well, but I've noticed that if I scrub with water only and avoid any product, the flakiness disapears.

Any experience with this kind of shit? It's not actual dandruff, it's just yellowish scales that itch and sometimes scabs that get reddish.

Until it forms into a foam, then you should wash it off. Cleansing with circular movements from the bottom of the face to the top are also suggested. If the label doesn't specifiy otherwise then do as so.
>>14486635
Open comedomes. More common with oily skin type and areas of the face that on average product more sebum, like the nose. Large open pores permit sebum to oxidize which in turn makes the top layer dark. Best way to treat them is using salicylic acid/BHA exfoliation.

Any UV exposure increases the risk of skin cancer and definitely makes the signs of ageing show up faster and more aggressive, like sun spots, saggy skin, wrinkles.
I do understand the importance of a tan when trying to pull off the moonhead but you should watch out and not overdo it. Even when tanning, sunscreen is still necessary. To lessen the need for the sun you can also take beta carotene supplements, they help to make the skin slightly more yellow without no ill side effects. https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/28/2/570/2990210

TONER is a texture. Because of the semi-light consistency it goes either at the beginning or in the middle of a routine but that's about it when it comes to similarity between any of them. Evidently anything can be a toner.
Cleanser is meant to remove light impurities from the top of the skin and to wash off products applied previously. All this can minimize pore blocking. A few of them contain salicylic acid. As cleanser is part of the basic skincare routine you should get one too, it can help with fighting acne.
>>14488765
Search for tinted sunscreens that match the colour of your skin.
>>14489344
Aloe vera is anti-inflammatory which can lessen pigmentation that is the result of that, but it won't help with what's left post-acne. For that you need niacinamide (PIE), arbutin/hydroquinone (PIH), vitamin C topical (both PIE and PIH).

from what I've been able to gather, niacinamide, tea tree extract, honey, hylaronic acid, vitamin C (in a toner/essence/serum) and rice extract will help you as you have oily skin. More moisture in your products + water holding chemicals (like hylaronic acid) will help keep your face hydrated so you don't get oily. I believe niacinimide will shrink your pores so you don't get a ton of junk in there. Vitamin C, Vitamin B, caffeine, and rice extract will help your pigmentation and smooth your skin.

FYI, more moisture/moisture holding effects in your products will not make you more oily. We are oily because our skin freaks out when we strip the oils during cleansing.

Also, better cleansers and gel moisturizer (rather than lotion) will help overall with skin pigmentation, and oil.

Lastly, exfoliate with a chemical exfoliant (BHA, AHA). BHA is better for us oily niggas...and WEAR SUNSCREEN on your face. That will help massively in pigmentation. However, get a lightweight (as in not a heavy lotion), oil free, mineral based sunscreen.

I'm still fairly new to face care so please correct me if I'm wrong on anything anons.

Snail mucin, caffeine (in a serum), hyaluronic acid, collagen, protein blends, black tea extract.

You should go to target, look in the Korean section of the body care isle, and use a cream from there. There are tons of them. The Koreans know what they're doing.

I had a pimple that was quite large, and I popped it. It's been like a week and the bump is still there, but no whitehead, blackhead, or irritation. I use a solid regimen - Cleanser, toner, serum, essence, moisturizer. Double cleanse at night + all of the above, and a night pack. Yet the bump won't go away.

PIH - post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which is actually due to overproduction of melanin which then darkens the skin and darkens even more if exposed to ultraviolet rays. This is more common with people who have darker complexion.
PIE - post-inflammatory erythema. Pigmentation that is a result of increased bloodflow to the area. Best way to determine if you have this is by gently pressing the area and then moving the finger away and see if the skin is bright before darkening again.

Why am i getting these really gross pimples around the corners of my mouth? I don't ever really get pimples or breakouts anywhere else apart from near my eyebrows on on my hairline.
But the ones near my mouth are always coming and going, it's gross and insane how many appear over night. I do drink about 4 - 6 liters of water a day and eat usually only dinner. Could it possibly be because of dairy in my diet or something?
I also apply lip balm two or three times a week on my face. Could that possibly be rubbing off onto my chin?

My routine is
Morning
2x a week Sukin Facial Scrub (usually after shaving)
Cetaphil cleanser
Australian creams goats milk moisturiser
5% Benzac cream on my acne

Night
Cetaphil cleanser
Australian creams goats milk moisturiser
5% Benzac cream on acne

I don't really get acne anywhere else excpet for eyebrow are and chin/mouth.
Any tips or help on changing routine or diet would be appreciated!

I have the same problem. I can't tell you anything conclusive but those spots are effected more than others by shaving and that toothpaste residue or the sulfates contained therein may irritate the area. Could also be hormonal, and thus associated with dairy, which appears to be the case since girls tend to flare up in a similar pattern if their system is out of whack.

Daily or Bi-Daily

Whenever skin is dry:
Moisturizer or Mist spray
If you have acne:
'skin drying cream'.

Nightly:
Cleanser
Toner
Mist pray

Go for as natural as possible and do routinely as possible. Antibiotics are a no-no for skin. Avoid them unless they are the last last last resort.

Basic routine that I forget some days but has cleared my skin up and makes it look cleaner & refreshed.

Thinking about getting CC cream (For general redness and for super even skin tone) but I'm unsure, I'd look close to picture once acne & redness are gone. Thoughts?

Has anyone here whose experienced acne noticed the phenomena where the less you think and worry about acne the better it magically gets? My best explanation is that the less I worry about it, the less stressed I get (stress causes breakouts?) and the less I touch my face (leads to spreading acne bacterium). Don't know if that's legit but it's a real thing.

Touching is actually about not having grime and dirt get on the skin which can then block pores rather than the spread of bacteria.

That link concerns shaving so none of that applies to cleansing. To cleanse, first wash the face with cold water, afterwards apply cleanser and spread it in circular motion from the bottom of the face to the top until foam forms. Thouroughly wash it all off with cold water.
>should I be using hot water
Skincare elements that are meant for pore treatment can permeate the skin without hot water. For shaving it's only useful to lossen hair strands so they offer less resistance.
>>14501938
With any chemical exfoliant it's suggested to start out once a week and over time increase the rate of application as long as the skin can stand it and you are happy with the results. At most you'd be applying in the morning and in the evening, same brands suggest once a day as well. For BHAs it doesn't matter if in the evening or the morning.
>what's the routine look like?
Cleanse, apply salicylic acid, following with whatever else you have and then moisturize. Moisturization is important because salicylic acid dries out the skin.
>>14501946
You get used to it and barely feel a thing past a month or so. However if there's a sense of something on top of the skin then it's more likely the products applied just aren't working with the skin, they don't absord properly either because the skin isn't clean or produces too much oil or the products aren't thin enough. I can easily slap vitamin c + salicylic acid + niacinamide + caffeine solution + benzoyl peroxide + hyaluronic acid + moisturizer + sunscreen and not feel a thing past 15 minutes. It's only when I apply a thick as shit moisturizer and have an occlusive on top for my night routine does it feel like my skin is trapped. The order of starting out with the thinnest/most viscous and following with thicker items is especially important to improve absorption. Of course waiting for the items to dry in between each is mandatory as well.

you could split up the dose throughout the day, or apply a small amount, wait for it to dry, and repeat until you get the full dose
if your balding area is small you might be able to use less of it and still get results
make sure to microneedle and take a DHT blocker like finasteride to maximize hair regrowth

Perhaps you'll have better luck. Another product I'd recommend is azelaic acid. It gets rid of texture so it leaves your skin more leveled. Try mezalapam. Not sure if any of these are on asos though.

If you need something thick try Blithe apricot pressed serum. It's a good moisturizer. Even though it says serum it's not.

If your skin is super dry to the absolute max try jergens all purpose face cream. This stuff is extremely thick however. May be better if you use it for winter weather.

Moisturizers are the best things you can do for your skin. Your should be using it every day using twice a day as the last step or second to last in your am and pm routine. Moisturizers keeps your skin hydrated which is turns protects the stratum corneum. If you don't want something heavy go for a water gel. Neutrogena's water gel moisturizers are usually the default but there are many water gels out there so look for one that you think would fit best for you.

Sunscreen is my last step in my am routine. As long as your using a physical sunscreen I don't see how a moisturizer can interfere with that. With retinoids, it should work fine. Many retinoids in fact are drying so moisturizing just counteracts that effect. It can also seal in the content of your retinoid if you use moisturizing as your last step.

Cera ve cleanser is the widely known brand for a good cleanser. I would recommend the hydrating facial cleanser. There's nothing wrong with the foaming one but some people feel that foaming cleansers strip their skin too much. I personally don't use cleansers though. It never felt like it did much for my skin. I just use an olay bar soap for my face. It has never failed me. I've tried several cleansers and some broke me out. As soon as I went back to olay soap bar my break outs stop and start healing. This is just my skin though. Some people may be too sensitive to it.

Try using body oil. Get neutrogena's brand, it's light. Backne could be caused by the stripping of natural body oil. When your body is stripped of it's natural oils it produces more oil and it can cause your skin to get congested and break out.

Ordinary warns against using both in the same routine because niacinamide reduces the potency of vitamin c. As vitamin c has some sun protective properties it's better used in the morning leaving niacinamide for the evening. Both should be applied prior to retinol.
>using 1% retinol (which I currently use in the morning
Retinoids should be used in the evening as they increase skin's photosensitivity which can lead to burns and harmful tan. A sunscreen should be used during the day.
>too drunk
You're killing your retinol gains, anon!
>this stuff good btw?
I have it but can't comment on the effectiveness yet. My erythema has a near decade long history and it won't go away all that fast.
>and what vit c meme solution should I get from theordinary?
They have a guide for that: https://theordinary.com/vitcguide
Just don't buy the powder, you will need to mix it with a carrier whereas other products already have it mixed appropriately.
I myself would stay away from the derivatives, so that only leaves with the two vit c suspensions and vitc + alpha arbutin.

even if you have tough skin don't use retinol in the AM, that's just adding potential future problems. unless you're diligent with reapplying SPF every 2 hours...but still i would not.

as for the vitamin C >>14504983 gave good advance, but i'm not a fan of the suspensions and the alpha arbutin mixture is so-so. The ethylated 15% is another option, it basically has the same potency of "pure" vitamin c with the same restrictions (don't use with niacinamide, peptides, etc.) but it's a very stable solution.

the vitamin c under deciem's other brands are ethlyed too, C25 and ELAN.

don't spend more just because you can, it doesnt always mean better quality products. 2 step cleansing with an oil and then regular cleanser is the best thing to do, imo - oil cleanser will breakdown sunscreens and regular cleanser will remove remaining dirt. i'd highly recommend japanese skincare because it has great ingredients and no fragrance, unlike a lot of SK skincare which tends to be heavily fragranced and sometimes quite gimmicky, save for some brands like COSRX. cetaphil's cleanser is ok but not great, cerave is better but the hada labo hyaluronic acid foam cleanser and oil cleanser will knock most expensive stuff out of the park. sorry for ramble i just love skincare lol, you shouldn't waste your money

yes derivative Vitamin C products like MAP are okay to be used with Niacinamide. The only other derivative products The Ordinary carries is the 12% solution and Vitamin F 20%.
The vitamin c/niacinamide thing is kinda weird anyway as there's some conflicting reports, some sources say you can...others not. If you do ever decide to try out a non-derivative I would separate the two anyway just to be safe.
Your regimen looks fine, I'd add any moisturizer after Niacinamide in the PM though.

Been dealing with acne scars since I had a massive breakout in summer 2017.

Nothing's changed, if anything I look worse because my scars get more pronounced as I get older. Any tips?

Also looking for a good Vitamin C serum to even out my complexion and recommendations for sunscreen since the Neutrogena clear face SPF 55 one I'm using occasionally blocks my pores and leads to some whiteheads and blemishing here and there that I want to avoid.

if you are using stuff like acids that make your skin sensitive then you should invest in a quality sunscreen with mexoryl or tinosorb, they are slightly expensive but you can apply them once in the morning and they last longer and arent broken down by the sun on top of blocking and reflecting uva and uvb rays instead of absorbing them.

la roche posay anthelios line or avene sunscreen are good options, you will spend about 30-40 bucks for a bottle but it should be able to last you the rest of the summer

pretty much all Cerave products are solid options. also, the Ordinary brand is great for toners, their glycolic acid toner especially is good. bioderma also has some good stuff but avoid the products which contain parfum/fragrance because it causes uneeded irritation to the skin.

soaps will stay on the skin less time so they generally have less of an effect as these serums which stay on the skin and absorb deeply for long periods of time.
Can't say much about the difference in efficacy although vit c seems to be more for spots of hyperpigmentation whereas kojic acid is used to lighten brown patches of skin like underarms

Sun exposure has pretty massive benefits though such that studies have shown people with the most incidence of sunburn have the lowest death risk and people with the least sunburn have the highest. Same with sun exposure. People with melanoma have the same death risk as the average population. Smokers with the most sun exposure have a lower death risk than non smokers with least sun exposure. Etc. etc. So while it’s important to be mindful and may have negative effects on skin when getting a ton of sun, it’s also not good to be constantly lathered in sunscreen and avoiding any exposure.

stop using chemical laden moisturizing garbage. it is absolutely fucking terrible for your skin in general.

use coconut oil instead.

I fucked up the skin on my hands from cement exposure once. really bad. what happens is bla bla chemical in cement makes skin retarded and keeps drying out no matter what bla bla.

even soaking my hands in bowls of water to absorb water, only worked a little. my hands were cracking and bleeding. then I discovered coconut oil.

that shit is incredible and will change your life.
best moisturizer in the world, and it's natural, and cheap. no need to get fancy stuff just get plain coconut oil with nothing else in it.

I also fucked my hands up from other chemical exposures other times, drying them out, and coconut oil fixed the issue each time.
now? the skin on my hands is nice and soft.

it works on skin anywhere on your body. you can even use it for controlling and killing dandruff in your hair.
you're welcome.

>even soaking my hands in bowls of water to absorb water, only worked a little
Water by itself doesn't stop water loss in the skin. That's why moisturizers and occlusives are used in the first place. And your -nut oil has a high likelihood of breakouts when applied to the face. Skin is at all not the same across different parts of the body. Anyone starting out with skincare should avoid comedogenic products until they actually know what their skin can tolerate. Having some pore blocking oil result in pimples can ruin the enthusiasm.

dude, sunscreen is cheap as fuck and most aging is caused by sun damage. other than that, sun damage can cause melanoma, hyperpigmentation and damage to your skin's collagen and elastin. before you go out, check the UV rating on a weather app. i live in a cold country and there's still enough UV to cause damage

I'm around 6 1/2 months into accutane (20mg daily) and so far the only symptoms I've had are dry lips/skin and slight back pain, this being said, I am on quite a low dosage but I do think that accutane is quite a safe drug if you communicate with your derma-bro well. Make sure to find a good cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen and lipbalm that don't trigger any negative reactions with your skin (patch-test all products), your skin will become very dry on accutane so consider using products targeted towards drier/sensitive skin when your skin starts becoming dry. Also don't give up and be persistent :)

Tretinoin isn't really meant for erythema treatment.
The suggested topicals however are niacinamide, vitamin c and azelaic acid. Adequate moisturization is also important for the healing process so a higher than average coverage could be recommended. For that ceramides, snail mucin (often recommended), hyaluronic acid and occlusives could be used.
There isn't all that much information but I found this article and the video to have the best overview:
https://sciencebecomesher.com/topical-treatments-pie/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI54fwY9yUo
The fastest option of course is vascular laser treatment but it's not so cheap.

>and damage to your skin's collagen and elastin
Reduction in collagen is obviously true but with elastin actually the opposite happens - it gets overproduced, a condition called Actinic elastosis, resulting in droopy shapeless skin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinic_elastosis
The reduction of elastin is more of an intrinsic ageing property which modern skincare can't really control.

>>14516023
Well if the sunlight isn't shining directly at you and your sunscreen includes physical blockers that don't degrade so fast maybe a single reapplication could be enough.
Generally giving advice on this topic is really tricky because the rate of reapplication that companies cite most often only concerns direct sun exposure. They also give no information on how their sunscreens degrade over time or in relation to uv radiation. Companies must have the data but they are not giving it to the buyers.

By drying out the skin it decreases sebum production and additionally kills p-acnes bacteria that cause inflammation. In my experience benzoyl did halt the pimples from growing and dried them out faster. The overall length of treatment was listed as 4 weeks on the packaging. If it's not working for you, consider visiting a dermatologist for something stronger.

Worth asking your Dermatologist but Cetaphil Oily Skin cleanser worked well for me, get something simple that is oil-free and matches your skin type. You should also avoid using cleansers with sacylic acid or any other anti-acne products while on accutane as it might be too drying.
