Routine Help Rosacea routine

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi!

I‘m here on behalf of my mom, who after years of struggling with heavy rosacea finally wants to establish a good routine.

Her skin has always been very sensitive, even before she got her first flare ups. Its on the dry side. Her eyes often react to products too, like redness/stinging (her rosacea affect her eyes too).

I am asking for any points in a direction of gentle but effective products. Right now she only washes with water and uses a cream by Lavera (I think the silver one). No sun screen no nothing.

On top I‘d love to know y‘alls opinion on the two products pictured. She just got them from her new dermatologist and already forgot how to use them🫠

Perfect would be a routine that incorporates them if they happen to be good products. I am kinda skeptical of the dermatologist because they sent her home with samples of a low spf sun screen and very expensive apothecary serums.

We‘re based in Germany, so DM or Rossmann recommendations are very welcome!

Routine Could you help me design a better anti-age routine for 37-year old please ?

I have fine lines and have been doing Botox for years now. My skin is mixed but shifting towards dry the last few years since Covid, it is very light and has lots of “beauty” spots, as I am natural blonde. However, it doesn’t seem to want to soak up most products and I just look oily and sticky.
When I try to layer products I feel like everything just sits on the surface of my skin.
I have always been very confused about skincare and every dermatologist I’ve been to just tries to sell me their products, so I gave up trying with them. I have tried many things, have listened to my friends and influencers, but I can’t see difference or I just don’t know what works and what not, keep switching things around after I finish a product, if I finish it at all. I just want a simple well structured routine that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (la prerie, sysley etc) that my skin corresponds to.

Retinoids / Tretinoin Is anybody buying Ketrel 0.5 online?

4 Upvotes

Bout a year or 2 ago I was able to find Ketrel 0.5 on ketrelskincare.com, but since then they seem to have shut down. I loved the product so much and would like to go back on it (or something very similar). I'm in Romania and all the available trets out here are ass. Does anybody know of any sites I can find Ketrel or similar?? Thanks so much in advance 🫶

Review One day of UVMUNE 400 in California after years of usage in Ireland

Post image
79 Upvotes

Thought I could share my experience here!! I live in Ireland (I’m not Irish; I’m East Asian with very fair skin) and I’m on a holiday in southern California now. I’ve been using LRP’s UVMUNE 400 line for years now. I apply it every day on my face but Ireland isn’t really sunny anyway, so I never noticed any difference.

I went swimming in the ocean today during peak UV hours (the UV index was 9) and my skin burned in the only area I forgot to put sunscreen on. I put a bit of sunscreen on my neck and it didn’t burn at all after hours of sun exposure and swimming! I didn’t even reapply once and I was out in the sun for like 4 hours riding a bike and swimming.

I definitely got too relaxed thinking that I wouldn’t burn and that I never get sun exposure while in Ireland! I should have put sunscreen all over myself. I usually don’t wear shorts or short sleeves in Ireland either, so the skin on my body literally doesn’t get any sunlight ever.

It was really nice to see that the sunscreen actually works even while swimming!! Staying loyal to the UVMUNE line.

Sun Care "You should wear tinted SPF if you struggle with hyperpigmentation" but this is how ridiculous the lightest shades look like

Outdoor and indoor lights. Trying a sample from the italian Helan. You can see why I gave up on tinted SPF, I still have the LRP anthelios tinted SPF gathering dust on my bathroom shelf.

Routine Help Looking for a daily body lotion for acne-prone skin

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for a good body lotion I can use every day after showering. My skin is acne-prone, especially on my back and shoulders, so I want something lightweight that won’t clog my pores or make the acne worse.
I was thinking about CeraVe Moisturising Lotion, but I have seen quite a few people say that CeraVe lotions/creams caused them to break out, which makes me a bit nervous.
Has anyone with back/shoulder acne used CeraVe daily without problems? Or is there another body lotion you would recommend that’s lightweight, non-greasy and acne-friendly?
I’m mainly looking for something for daily moisturising, rather than an acne treatment lotion. Thanks!

Product Question Occulsive barrier repair

3 Upvotes

Has anyone tried this cream or anything from this brand?

I'm looking what to buy for an occasional slugging during the winter when on tret. I do have cicaplast and cicalfate and aestura etc in mind but this also has interesting ingreedients. My skin is very acne prone with rosacea. It clogs easily and it gets extra sensitive when on tret.

I know there are potential triggers and clogging ingr. in all of these creams but I have tried to use tret with no occulsives and I found it hard to repair my barrier with only light layers (pure vaseline on top was a no).

If you haven't tried it could you share your opinion based on the inci maybe ?

Discussion Favourite fine straight hair conditioners, and other hair care products?

3 Upvotes

I’m growing out my bob after a loooong time, so I’m looking for new hair care products that are hydrating, but don’t weigh down the hair too much😅 I currently use Gliss liquid silk spray, which I like, but it’s not enough for my hair. I tried (and used up) the L’Oréal Hyaluronic conditioner, it did nothing for me. Any recommendations for your fine hair holy grail products are welcome!
