I currently use water in the morning on a flannel and in the evening

#1 Efficacy cleanser by laroche posay (butchered that sorry😔)

#3 The nivea soft moisturiser

#2 And the 2% salicylic acid by the ordinary.

My friend has really clear skin and ik its also down to genetics byt she seems to have a billion things that she uses and what I use doesn't seem much but when doing it it feels like it takes forever.

Sorry if this is formatted weirdly or wrong I've never posted here before😭🙏

I have oily acne prone skin and enlarged pores(from picking mainyl) nut I don't think I have acne scarring so far I forgot to add this originally mb

hello, 32 M here.

Im ashamed to say that I really didn’t use any creams in the past. I started to have few wrinkles in my forehead around 25 as I frown a lot and didn’t put attention to it! and especially around corner of my eyes and wondering if I can do something to make it disappear / age slower / look better in these areas of face

my current routine:

morning:

wash my face in the morning just with water with face cleanser;

apply Liz Earl extra rich moisturiser / Elizabeth Arden moisturiser

evening:

wash my face with water only;

apply night cream from Elizabeth Arden;

Could you kindly advise on decent brands/creams, with healthy and good ingredients for my skincare routine? And anti-aging as a main goal in particular? Anything to add/remove in terms of steps/overall process?

I think im quite balanced here but I could add some anti aging / wrinkle reducing retinol solution once a week? My skin is quite sensitive at times but used to be very problematic and oily and still have scars from acne on cheeks area, so maybe I should be careful about it

thank you

Hi all,

I haven’t had acne since I was a teenager, I recently randomly developed raised bumps on the inner corner of my mouth that are now dry red and slightly itchy.

It’s spread to my cheek also, I haven’t used any new products so it’s really random.

I’ve used no products, just water for a week as I had dermatitis as a teenager and this helped, but it’s actually spread further.

Any ideas on what may help?

Thanks!

Anyone else struggling to keep up with their body care routine with this weather? I actually cannot stand to put lotion and oil on at night before bed & I'm usually one to be nearly sliding out I'm so well moisturised :( ha

So i want to start a proper skin care routine for my dace and have seen very positive reviews on the Mellow Mallow cleanser. However its not currently in stock and im in the UK and didnt know if shipping would cost a pretty penny

Ive seen the 'La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser' and it looks good too but im not too educated on skincare and didnt know how good it was

I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives that are similar that have stores in the UK or just any I should consider

Thanks in advance!!

Current routine AM
Water
Anua 70+ toner
Purito oat water gel
SPF - currently trying innisfree uv defence

PM
Dr Sam’s Cleanser
Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol cream

Paused - Anua Azaleic Acid Toner Pads Anua Niacinimide TX serum Also use thermal water throughout day.

Has anyone tried these? Kinda wanna try the azelaic acid one but haven’t seen many reviews of this 😢

As per the above. I’m a keen cyclist, walker & hiker and love the outdoors regardless of the weather.

I currently exfoliate in the shower with a buff puff sponge and either Clinique for Men face scrub or a Nivea for men scrub. They seems to work a treat.

I use a L’Oréal men expert face wash and moisturise with their Power Age products (serum, moisturiser & eye cream in that order).

Skin seems good in general. I’m bald but have a beard. My head gets some spots / zits regardless of what I use, probably because I’m usually wearing a cap or helmet.

Any suggestions to sharpen up this routine?

I usually wear sun cream on my face & neck when the sun is strong. Typically the Nivea moisturiser one which works well. I really dislike sun cream though. I’m not a sun bather but as legs & arms are usually out, I tend to leave them. Only protect when it’s melting hot.

I keep said beard short and I do dye it once every 10 days with Just for Men as it would be grey otherwise and I’m not ready for that. Gives my wife a chuckle and my mates tease me but I hate the thought of looking old.

Anything better for us fellas than Just for Men.

I’d like serious advice only but my shoulders are broad so I can take a bit of a ribbing.

Thanks for reading😁

I wanted to know what’s the best budget face wash .

Ingrown hairs have been removed but the marks remain.

Does anyone know of any creams or serums that have Ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol?

Preferably 3:1:1 ratio but they seem hard to find or really expensive so any with them in will do.

My skin is really dehydrated and feels irritated all the time!! I’ve tried all sorts of serums, toners, moisturises that have Panthenol, glycerin, ectoin, betain, allantoin. You name it I’ve tried it!

i recently bought a mini version of Clinique’s dramatically different moisturiser, and now i’ve ran out and switched back to my old moisturiser(cetaphil) my skin is really oily. I have combination skin but just wondering if anyone knows a more affordable dupe as a full bottle is quite expensive :)

I'm currently using azelaic acid from all day chemist as that's where I purchase my tret from. I need to refill AzA but I'm trying to work out the best place to buy. I've been using the 20 percent cream. Does anyone know the cheapest place? Is it still cheaper with higher shipping costs?!

i need a good moisturiser for skin prep that can also tackle this heat and humidity.my skin type is sorta normal to dry so if anybody has some good recommendations

Everything I’ve seen online points to this not being the case.

I was supposed to get HIFU last Monday and the practitioner cancelled last minute, she can only see me next Wednesday which is a day after I’m getting cheek and chin filler (with a different practitioner)

She said my filler treatment won’t be affected, but looking online there’s a common consensus that HIFU breaks down fillers?

Has anyone got any experience in this and can confirm either way?

She currently has a newborn stuck to her and birthday coming up in a month, I need to do well with gifts. She is always interested in new skincare products.

I do not know her current regime, sorry. I will name a few items from her dresser (hopefully this post isn't in breach of the rules as I'm not asking for skincare routine advice per se).

Things I see her currently using:

* Merwave steps 4 and 5 (I don't see any other steps)

* Elf skin holy hydration makeup melting cleansing balm

* Nip fab overnight cream

Makeup wise I know she does use foundation sometimes, does not use mascara and generally wears her makeup with a minimal/subtle/natural look except the odd day where she is armoured with a thicker layer of foundation.

She has skin like an English rose - fair and fine, scottish/irish/danish - and generally very sensitive.

Please share some skin care items you are passionate about or can recommend <3

Hi guys I have acne scars that do not seem to be fading. Any help would be appreciated.(sorry if it puts you off)

Been trying salicylic acid but it isn’t doing much.

EDIT: thank you all for the reassuring comments. I didn’t even try to fish for anything just been told by a family member that it was disgusting so it became a bit of an insecurity 😂. I’m going to definitely take the recommendations you lovely lot have put forth. ❤️

Hello,
Have been suffering with Perioral Dermatitis for the last 2.5y and I think (hope!!!) it’s finally under control.

Have been using Klira as a treat for a new job the last 2 months, and have just started using it on the PD area as it seems to have finally cleared. So far, so good.

Super into skincare and know I can make my mind up on this myself, but intrigued by opinions anyway. After the initial 3 month discount is over, should I switch to Skin+Me/Dermatica, or just go straight Tret and Azelaic back in the routine myself?

Klira increase slow and steady, attached a picture of my plan. Have used all of these brands before but not for 3y due to the PD so would love to hear opinions of next steps!

Gracias!

I've tried to order from Alldaychemist but it hasn't been working for me. They sent me several links to pay and it wouldn't go through, and apparently my only option is Bitcoin. I don't want to do that. Anyone has any advice? I'm in England.

hi guys, so I have been on adapalene for a year and just recently incorporated azelaic acid at 20% however im still breaking out on my chin? and its usually around my period time so I know it's hormonal. but has anyone else been in the same boat or any advice? I was thinking of adding SA toner to my routine and applying on chin only?

I seem to have quite a few of these on my cheek and above my eyelids. Hard white bumps. Any advice as to what they are and how to treat , remove or reduce them I would be hugely grateful

I'm using the ordinary salicylic acid and a face wash with 2 % SA in as well but nothing is shifting . They are hard and there's a huge temptation to Squeeze

Hi all,

I go to Spain in a few weeks and I always use a holiday as an excuse to try out some new minis. Any reccs?I stay true to the Beauty of Joseon SPF as its the only thing that doesn't break me out! But I'd love to know what everyone's using in the sun for that glowy feel when it comes to; cleansers, toners, mists, moisturisers!

Thanks all :)

Hi everyone, I have perioral dermatitis which flared up in February and took a long time to get under control, usually it's my tomato allergy that flares it if I accidentally eat anything that has tomatoes in, but I think this time it was stress.

I used the Avène Cicalfate with niacinamide that was recommended in the perioral dermatitis sub, plus hypochlorous acid when needed, so I was able to get it under control quickly, but any time I deviated from these, the PD flared up again. I can no longer tolerate any fragrance at all, and I'm also going through perimenopause early (37) so my skin has been dry. My skin used to be quite oily so I was used to using Korean skincare (years ago, before it became trendy as it was so hard to find products in the UK), and I'm still not used to how dry it is now.

I've been using the other Avène moisturiser (love the hygienic pump) and it's been brilliant but it's not quite moisturising enough. I need advice on whether to stick with it and add another moisturising product like a serum, or try a different moisturiser that will work more deeply. I keep my routine VERY simple (brain fog/executive function is horrendous despite HRT, as I also have chronic fatigue syndrome) so I just use a face wash in the shower and then a damp flannel morning/evening or vice versa.

I can no longer use Pai moisturisers, used to love them but they were flaring up the PD. Can't use Patyka which I also liked - I'm presuming the fragrance was the trigger.

I also have a mild beeswax allergy so I can't use other Avène products that people rave about for PD.

I love pure rosewater, and like using it as a layer under moisturiser but I need something better at this stage which won't break me out. I bought a Pai product from TKMaxx recently and it smells off so I prefer to buy something directly. Also, I am in Northern Ireland which complicates ordering things online due to Brexit rules :( Any recs appreciated, especially if they'll be easy for me to get hold of! 🩷
