Koalin is just clay with no real benefits.
Water and glycerin are just there to make sure the whole thing isn't rock hard.
Rosa centifolia is just rose water. And then there's also lavender water. Both have minimal to no effect on the skin.
Prunus Dulcis are almonds. No clue what the benefit is supposed to be here.

Linalool and Limonene aren't even good for skin and can cause irritations.

There's no reason why you can't exfoliate the body, but I don't really see a purpose in doing it often. They make body washes and soap that already have exfoliants in them. Cetaphil makes a light exfoliant that's good, but you don't wanna use that a lot or it will rub you raw.

Beware anon. Both should be used, but never at the same time since retinol should only be applied in the PM. Retinol makes your skin extremely sensitive to sun, even if you are using spf 100+ you will probably do more harm than good if you use retinol in the AM.

Your beard hairs will be damaged by the exfoliant. It's possible to oil afterwards and hope for the best but many beard oils aren't comeodogenic so you are worse off. Using a physical exfoliant saves all the trouble.

chemical exfoliant, in between the cleanser and moisturizer. the popular one is glycolic acid and i do recommend it very much. use it at night and you will wake up in the morning with super radiant skin.
Don't use the 30% meme, it could potentially burn especially if youre not used to any of this stuff. get a 7%-10% glycolic acid toner, the kind with a watery consistency is probably best for most people. there are cream versions but i dont particularly like them. a good brand is The Ordinary 7% Glycolic Toner

Other Problems
If you still got acne with a simple routine, it's worth looking to add other products into your routine
If you got body acne, try CeraVe or Cetaphil Cleasing Bars or Body Wash. There's versions that have SA as well which can help even out skin texture.

There's a bunch of different chemical exfoliates you can try. If you're just starting out, Stridex pads come in different concentrations (maximum: 2%, essential: 1%, sensitive: .5%), are cheap, and can be found in pretty much any store. I'd start off by using it once every other day, then see how it goes from there. If you exfoliate too much it can dry out your skin.

Scrubs in general have the same problem everywhere, granted the skin on your face is probably thinner and more sensitive than on your body.

I'll do masks once or twice a week.
Under-eye masks are good to reduce puffiness and if you put under-eye cream in the fridge and put that on right when you wake up, it'll reduce eye bags.

I work for a skincare company which is why it's a bit much. This is simplified though it used to be more redundant

Current routine:
AM
-Usually just clean with cold water
-Eye serum(I'm lazy and only use it like twice a week tho)
>SubQ Eyes
-Vitamin C
> Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30%
-Antioxidant emulsion
>Survival 0
-Moisturizer, sometimes I'll mix this together with the antioxidant
>Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
-SPF if I'm outside
>Anessa Perfect UV or Biore Aqua Rich. I think I like Anessa better but I haven't been going outside enough

PM #1
-Clean
>goop g tox pore refining cleanser
>goop g tox pore refining tonic, almost done will be trying Some By Mi AHA BHA miracle toner in it's place
-Serums
>SubQ Eyes when I'm not lazy
>Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
>Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
-Moisturizer
>Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA mixed with Marula or Squalane

PM#2
-Clean
>Sanskrit Saponins (SS), if I'm feeling really dirty for some reason I'll use the goop cleanser before Sanskrit, but that's rare
>Some by Mi Black snail toner
-Serums
>SubQ Eyes when I'm not lazy
>Buffet + Copper Peptides 1%
>Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
-Moisturizer
>Squalane or Marula. Will probably be Squalane for the next few months as I have an unopened bottle
>Some By Mi Snail Truecica cream

Once a week I use AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution before snail toner in PM #2. I have other random masks I'll sometimes use throughout the week

2% is the most you'll get over the counter, I'd probably start with that. Go 2/3 times per week, it might take a couple of weeks to see results

I have mild Rosacea on my cheeks. I currently just use warm water, and a clean rag to clean my face as everything else seems to dry my face out and make it worse. Can y'all recommend some cleaners, creams, lotions, spf, etc.? Anything with witch hazel or acid makes it worse as well. Thank you.

Definitely don't use any kind of toner product, it will make it worse

I’ve heard azelaic acid can help

okay does anybody know of a good fucking water-based moisturizer? I swear even the lightest of non-comedogenic moisturizing lotions still clog my pores

There’s blemishes that need to be burned off my forehead so here’s one from earlier in the year
>>15287199
Why?? I’m interested in what some of the competition is doing. Obviously gonna use products I have access to from the company I work at so I can do my job better. Also great discount

you look like you know everything. answer my question >>15287398

Thanks

>>15287446
I think so, set realistic expectations. Products will help a lot but there's times when your skin will do what it wants to do. I don't look like that picture 24/7, as I mentioned there's currently a couple giant blemishes on my forehead and that probably won't fully go away for another week
Dunno what you're already using but I'd say finding a gentle cleanser, exfoliator, moisturizer and SPF is a great start, followed by a product that targets your main concern. Scarring, acne, hyperpig, whatever it is.

>>15287487
This isn't water based, but if you're worried about clogging I'd say give Squalane a shot. I use the one from The Ordinary, heard good things about the one from Biossance.
Texture wise it feels like an oil but it's actually oil free (oil also doesn't necessarily mean it will clog you). Ordinary also carries a product called Hemi-Squalane which is even more lightweight than the standard Squalane. Optionally before applying Squalane you can also pair it with a lightweight hydration serum like Ordinary's Marine Hyaluronics.

Another option is Korean snail creams. I ignored them for years cause I thought it was a meme but I'm finally trying one and it's not too bad. Biggest hurdle is gonna be the texture, it feels like goop/slime which is not for everyone, I love the texture tho and it does absorb quickly. Also suitable for oily skin types. I haven't tried the ones from Mizon or Cosrx but they should be the easiest to find and I've heard positive reviews overall, especially for the latter

Word thanks (im the moisturizer guy), I'm really looking for something that basically feels like water, which I have just learned is called a SERUM lol. I'll try replacing my lotion moisturizer with the marine and the hemi-squalane together.

also how do you feel about replacing cerave cleanser with micellar water? really trying to get rid of thick shit for my routine lol and the cerave makes my face a bit tight. and if it's a good idea, what brand of micellar water?

any other eye serum you recommend? The subq eyes is out of stock.

Also my current routine is;

Cold showers in the morning with just basic soap/shampoo.

Palmer's cocoa butter on my face when i get out.
hot shower followed by cold shower when I get home 10 hrs later. I use a benzol peroxide cleaner at night.

Before I go to bed I use garnier sugar scrub.
then more cocoa butter after cleaning so it doesn't dry out.

Also I use aztec clay mask x1 a week mixed with ACV for around 30-40 minutes.

My skin looks pretty good, but I'd like to go above and beyond.

Any thing you'd recommend to add in/take out for poorfags? You seem to know your shit

I've only used one product before that was similar to miscellar water. It was alright, it's satisfying to see the dirty cotton pad after using a product like that.

My mom swears by Garnier micellar water, I can't remember if she has the blue, pink or green bottle but green seems to be for oily skin

>>15287646
oops YA
>>15287632
eyes can be a little tricky, I was gonna say just use whatever hydrating product you're using on your face but cocoa butter might be a bit too heavy for the eye contour. but honestly if the rest of your face can handle it eyes should be fine, just do a small test patch before applying to the entire area

I think your regimen looks fine, if you wanna add in something else just for general skin health/appearance can't really go wrong with an antixoidant product. I'd look into a derivative Vitamin C product, since those are more gentle and suitable for people new to vit c. The problem is a lot of brands don't directly state if a product is a derivative or not

Vitamin C as a whole other rabbit hole in itself tho. For a good price I'd look into these Ordinary options
>Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%
water based serum, kinda sticky texture

>Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F
oil based, but it's not heavy

both would be applied before a cream.

BUT!!! for a non Vitamin C antioxidant I'd suggest Ordinary's Pycnogenol 5%. It's fantastic, can also be applied before a cream or mixed together with one.

Forgot to ask if the sugar scrub is for your face, just be careful with that and don't over do it. Would not use a physical exfoliator daily
I prefer chemical exfoliators, which you still have to be careful about but it's much more forgiving on the skin.

[Anonymous No.15287708]

Yeah its for my face.

I appreciate your help!

[Anonymous No.15287713]

No. Alternatively topical tretinoin and a simple routine and sunscreen

Same. Last time I had acne was when I was 15. I feel bad for all these people suffering with skin diseases. I suffer in other ways though
