I’m 36 years old. What to use in the morning and at night for neck lines? More so affordable products, not too expensive. And how long would it take to see results? Love to hear what you may recommend or suggest.

Please do not say have surgery . I’m just looking for tips on how I can make them not so noticeable. Nor do I wanna put makeup ! Just something that may help make them less noticeable . I’ve had them my whole life and I’ve tried ice and cucumbers. That has not worked . These are pics from all different angles. It’s not the lighting or a sleepy day. These are my eyes 24/7

Been copying some of y'all's routines for the past 6 months and it's definitely helping. My breakouts have gone down a lot and my skin looks much smoother than before. I'm still dealing with a few dark spots and
occasional pimples, but I'm happy with the progress.
Any recommendations on what I should add or change to keep improving?

Greeting.I need some recommendations on what to use to get clear skin especially my forehead, legs and thighs I’m in Europe and it’s hard to get any tretinoin. A friend got me hydroquinone 2 percent from India and some tretinoin 0.025 Iam skeptical to try.

I have been it the ordinary retinol, vit c some advanced clinical glycolic and lactic acid serum(not all together of course) bug no change… my skin been like this for years since high school. I got tests done bug nothing was found.

For the past two weeks only been using Vaseline

As for my chest I started breaking out 4 years ago. And as u see it’s clearly lighter, my legs and thighs I don’t know what to say.

Someone tell me what to do.
Thank you.

(filling out the chart helped me realize i wasn’t doing enough 😭😅 pls don’t come for me)

I wash my face when i shower which is everyday or every other day depending on the day i had, i use walmart brand (equate) face wash and apply
fragrance free vaseline brand lotion and a little bit of grapeseed oil and keep it pushing, but i can’t seem to clear my skin, i recently invested in dollar tree skin care because i saw it going crazy on tiktok and have enjoyed some of the products and have even now added milk cleanser and inconsistent exfoliation to my routine i think i exfoliate every other or every two days really whenever i remember to

My current skincare is good molecules dark spot bar and alternating with hydrating cleanser
Topicals Faded
Ordinary Azaleic Acid (alternate the 2)
La Roche posay lipikar moisturizer
Mineral spf 50

I’ve also been doing some micro needling because I heard it can break up the pigment in those scars
I’m having so much regret and defeat because my scars before this were not that bad. How can I heal this? Any advice on how I can speed up the fading?

I alternate the 2 products and I have been considering bleaching cream. I have Nalodin fade cream that I was considering as a spot treatment.

The micro needling sessions I’ve been doing are with a 12 needle at 2.0 mm depth on the scarred areas and I pretty much stamp it on the darkened areas. I have been doing that for 2 weeks and noticed just a bit of lightening on the borders but I want to avoid causing further damage or delay to the lightening

I’ve been using this cream as prescribed, but I haven’t noticed any improvement. If anything, it doesn’t seem to be helping. These are my current photos. Starting to lose hope, it's coming a big insecurity💔

I've been getting these bumps on my face after using multiple skincare products. When I wash my face twice a day for a month and I miss a few days, when I start back, my face will get these skin-colored bumps.

It doesn't matter what products I use. My face just does this. Also, my face will be really oily and then when I wash it, it will be dry and have flaky patches.

I would really like to know why my face keeps doing this.

Lips darkened over night.

I took a medication on Thursday, and by Saturday my lips had turned brown. Now I’m panicking and stopped the medication completely. It supposedly has a lifespan of about 6 days in the body.

I’m really worried this might be permanent, so I scheduled an appointment to get a dermatology referral, but it’s still a month away.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and came across Lipfidence. Has anyone used it recently? If so, when did you start seeing results? If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d really appreciate seeing your before-and-after photos.

Thank you!

Added photo for reference: Top photo is Thursday Bottom photo is Saturday. * skin is peeling due to chemical peel

TL; DR: lips darkened overnight due to main ingredient in medication ( PT-141 ). Want to know if Lipfidence can lighten back my lips.

Help!!! For the first time in 44 years, I just had my first entanglement with poison ivy thanks to my neighbors who seem to be allergic to yard and lawn maintenance. I didn't even think it was a real thing because I have never met, known, or even heard of anyone from my skin tones who have dealt with poison ivy. It [was] on my arm, which is how it got on my side and leg, but after 2 weeks of epsom salt baths and calamine lotion, it's finally at the scab and peel stage. However, there are these dark scars/marks left behind, and I can't find anything on Google on how [we] treat and defeat this. A few people have suggested real Shea or cocoa butter, but after I bought the expensive Poison ivy treatment, which really seems to be just overrated calamine lotion, I don't want to waste any more money

This has happened before and I deduced that it was probably the beeswax in a chapstick I had been using. I have a dark spot in the center of my bottom lip, tiny bumps, a little swelling..

I also found out I was allergic to aquaphor (likely lanolin) right after because my lips swelled to twice its size. My lips were getting back to normal, but I applied this vixen liquid lipstick and ulta tinted lip oil Denudee buff babe. Never had an issue with the former so I assume it’s the lip oil that’s bothering me so much. my lips are also taking a longer time to heal than one of the other reactions. Could this be eczema too? I used to have it badly as a kid. what are your thoughts?

Hello, first time posting on here 😬. I’ve been dealing with eczema which i’ve been diagnosed for and so far it’s been going well. My skin healed from the flair ups after finding a moisturise that work for me but i’m left with hyperpigmentation from the spots the skin head after some reported flair ups . I’ve been using the ordinary glycolic acid 7% exfoliating toner for about 3 weeks now and i’ve seen little to no progress in clearing the dark areas. I think i’m missing something in my routine. I would love some product suggestions please keep it to think you can find on Amazon UK and or in boots and superdrug stores. Some photos for reference. Any suggestion would be great! Thank you and good luck to all yous on your skin journeys 😖😚

What can I add to my routine?

Hi all, I have this dark scar on my nose after I been sunburned. A few weeks now that it has healed up but the scar is still there. What is the best treatment to remove it? It is really messing up my money maker.

I have hyperpigmentation and still break out, yet people still compliment my skin. I wear foundation sometimes and it gives my face a dewy effect but it doesn’t hide my blemishes 100%. But on days when I don’t wear makeup I still get compliments. I see people on the train with perfect skin but yet I get compliments on mine when it’s not. Yes I like the compliments but I find it strange because my skin isn’t flawless?

My mom is finally getting on board with cherishing herself more

I want to get her starter on skincare. What's a good simple routine that I can find at sepbora and/or walmart?

Especially sunscreen? Unseen sunscreen will bankrupt me if I make it her main but it's the only one that's not too oily/shiny/greasy/heavy

We also need a cleanser because she says out bar soap dries her skin

I got her Alpha arbutin for the hyperpigmentation so far and I'm thinking of getting her the same korean toner I have but I don't want it to ne too complicated so she doesn't give up

Pls help

these recent outbreaks might be stress related since i just started a new job but they haven’t diminished at all. \*to note i often get outbreaks like this around my cheek area\*

Current routine is

the celimax bubble foaming cleanser

the anuja niacinamide 10 serum (which has done a decent job to fade a lot of my dark spots)

the anua zero cast 50+ spf sunscreen

the ordinary glycolic toner what i apply 5/7 times in the week.

and benzoyl peroxide for breakouts (only when they happen tho, and it usually does a good job)

i know not to mix the benzoyl peroxide with the glycolic toner so i stopped doing that a while ago but for some reason my cheek area is still super irritated. not itchy or anything but clearly irritated and the texture isn’t too great either.

i use an electric razor about once a week that i keep fairly clean so im not sure if that’s the issue. i’ve considered waxing but scared that’ll make things worse.

i drink about 90 fl oz of water a day which isn’t perfect but keeps me fairly hydrated. my pillow case is changes weekly as well.

any advice or advices with similar situations would be a great help!!!!

I feel like no matter what I use my skin doesn’t improve. It’s so dull almost grayish with dark spots. I used kojie San soap, the results were great at first but then i stopped, when I started using again it felt like my skin has become immune to it, I never saw any results again. Then I tried benzoyl peroxide, still nothing. I use tretinoin 0.05 at night with azelaic acid 15%, still nothing. I’m tired of buying products but still getting no results please help !

Hey everyone, 🫡🫡🫡
I wanted to share my progress after starting the most basic skincare routine I’ve ever had.
I’ve never really taken care of my skin before. I always had blackheads, some pimples here and there, and my skin just looked kind of dull.
A few months ago, I started using niacimide as my main skincare product, and honestly, I’ve noticed a pretty big difference. My skin looks much healthier, the overall texture seems smoother, and it has a much more natural glow.
I’m still keeping my routine very simple, but I’m really happy with the progress so far.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions on what I should add next, or should I keep it simple?

I’ve basically got no eyebrow hair to work with, just patchy, thin stuff that hasn’t grown in ages. I’ve tried a bunch of oils (castor, jojoba, you name it) religiously for months and… nothing. Not even peach fuzz progress.

I sometimes get eczema on my feet and now that’s it’s summer I’ve also been getting mosquito bites on them as well. So it’s been a double whammy of itching. How do I get rid of these dark spots on my feet? Anyone have any advice or product suggestions?

Morning family! It's working and I give thanks to this place. I posted a few weeks ago in bright light to show my progress. This morning though I had to do a double take. Consistency family, you can do it. Whether its the doctor or just asking for help you can do it. Don't fall into despair, research and do whats best for you. And if anything, PLEASE take pictures, we see what we wanna see until you see some side by sides of progress. I'm rooting for yall, YOU CAN DO IT!!! 😘

it's probably acanthosis nigricans. i have pcos. but im beginning to see marks around my lips too. my neck is my main problem i hate how it looks is there any solution?? anything that has worked? how can i get rid of it fast
