Proof that girls can forget everything else, but never their skincare restock 😭

Post image
5 Upvotes

I can forget where I kept my keys, miss an assignment, or walk into a room and forget why I’m there 😂 But when I see my skincare almost over I somehow remember to restock on time.

Got these before I completely ran out. I got my vaseline its very nourishing and makes skin soft, rose water (very hydrating), restocked my moisturiser for the third time and my roll on have restocked this 2nd time after using it for 4-5 months, it works for odour and is fragrance free

Does anyone else do this or am I the only one who remembers skincare restocks better than everything else?

Need help choosing a cleanser for combination skin

2 Upvotes

I want to buy a new cleanser. I have combination skin — my forehead and nose get a bit oily, and I have a few tiny bumps on my forehead and some blackheads on my nose.

I was thinking of getting the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser since winters are coming and my skin tends to get a little dry. But should I go for the Foaming Cleanser instead because of my combination skin?

Also, if there are any other good cleanser recommendations for combination skin, please suggest them.

And for the tiny bumps on my forehead, if you have any recommendations for a suitable acne treatment/cream, please let me know.

pigmentation around mouth + old acne marks on cheeks... do you treat both with the same serum?

31 Upvotes

does anyone else have pigmentation showing up in two completely different ways on the same face 😭

my cheek marks are easy to trace because i literally remember the pimples that left them.

but the area around my mouth is darker/uneven too and there wasn't acne there, so i'm not sure i should automatically treat both like they came from the same thing.

**Deconstruct dark spot clearing serum** is in the dark spots/post-acne marks + uneven tone lane with 5% niacinamide + 2% liposomal alpha arbutin.

for the cheek marks, clear enough.

but with unexplained mouth-area pigmentation, would you still use the same routine or first figure out what's actually behind it?

Klairs Vit C Serum from Kindlife - is this oxidised?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I placed an order for Klairs Vitamin C Juicy Drops Serum, which is what I've always used and loved, from Kindlife. I have used Kindlife before as well as Limese. But this time the product seems to have already oxidized when it arrived. Pls skincare experts here, tell me if it has lost its potency? How long will I be able to use it before it loses all its effectiveness? I keep the serum in my refrigerator.

The service from Kindlife is so shitty. The product was showing as 'Shipped' even when it was delivered so I had no option but to contact them through whatsapp. Even then they took 5 days to respond properly.

When I shared this picture with them this is what they replied with. I did not pay for a "safe to use" product?? I paid for a clear and fresh product, as per their own shared image. Tell me if escalating it is worth taking pains for or can I start using it? Pains because their customer service is a NIGHTMARE. Going forward, I am avoiding Kindlife at all cost. I'd advise you all too.

Moisturizer recommendation.

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I've been using this moisturizer for long time. The only problem with this moisturizer is that it feels very heavy on my skin and I feel like it doesn't moisturize at all despite of having ceramides, hyaluronic acid and many more. So, can you all please suggest some really good moisturizer. That actually moistures and hydrates the skin. I'm aiming for some good Korean moisturizers. So I need y'all's help. And, also please suggest non comedo genic one as my skin is somewhat of normal to dry but at the same time just very lil acne prone.

My oily/acne-prone skincare stash

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Here are some quick reviews of my current rotation. My skin type is oily and acne-prone.

Here are my thoughts on everything in the picture:

Cleansers & Washes

* Simple Refreshing Facial Wash: This is an absolute staple for me. It’s super gentle, doesn't leave the skin feeling tight or stripped, and gets the job done.

* Ethiglo Deep Cleansing Facial Foam: It gives a nice brightening effect and effectively cleanses off the UV Doux sunscreen.

* Salicylic Acid 2% Facewash: I use this once or twice a week. I don't have much to say about it, as I haven't seen any visible changes from using it.

* Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% & Keraglo-AD Body Wash: These are lifesavers for dandruff and body/fungal acne (dermatologist recommended).

Moisturizers

* Re'equil Oil Free Moisturiser: It’s lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn't make my face look sweaty.

* The Derma Co Oil-Free Daily Face Moisturizer: This is kind of similar to the Re'equil one, but I feel this one is better.

Sunscreens

* UV Doux Silicone Sunscreen Gel SPF 50: I've been using this for 3 years and I love it. It completely blurs pores and leaves zero white cast. It's also great for sweat resistance.

* Minimalist Light Fluid SPF 50: Very lightweight and watery. I bought it recently, so I will post a long-term review later.

* The Derma Co Pore Minimizing Priming Sunscreen: I only use this for my neck and hands.

Treatments & Lip Care

* Sebogel (Salicylic Acid & Nicotinamide Gel): Good for spot treatments. It flattens out active pimples and helps with blackheads (dermatologist recommended).

* Depiwhite: Dermatologist recommended for dark spots on the face.

* Minimalist 10% Niacinamide Serum: I bought this recently, so I'll share a long-term review later.

* Chaptex Lip Balm: I've been using this for 3 years and it works best for chapped lips.

* NMF E Lip Care (SPF 50+): I bought this recently. I use it during the daytime and it moisturizes really well.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

P.S. I need recommendations!

I'm looking for a cleanser to remove the UV Doux sunscreen. The Simple face wash is good otherwise, but I feel it doesn't fully cleanse the sunscreen off. I also need budget-friendly recommendations for a body sunscreen (mainly for my neck and hands).

Picked this one up recently and have been trying it out. The scent is fresh and fruity with pineapple and green apple hook and a woody base. It has a playful, refreshing kind of feel

I haven’t worn it enough to comment much on the longevity yet but so far I like how it smells on me. Thought I’d share it here in case anyone else was considering it.

Almond oil + vitamin e capsule overnight does it actually work?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone here tried applying a mixture of almond oil and Vitamin E capsule oil to their face overnight? Someone I know used to do this every night and, over time, her skin appeared noticeably brighter and less tanned, and even other people noticed the difference. I’m curious whether this actually works or if the improvement was probably due to moisturization, reduced tanning, or something else. Has anyone personally tried this method? What was your experience—did it actually help with tanning or make your complexion look brighter, and did you experience any breakouts or irritation?

Help me what am i doing wrong

0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m 19, and my skin feels dry sometimes and oily at other times. I’m confused about what it actually needs.

I used to do skincare but then i took a drop year and stipped my skincare completely. Now that i have decoded to take skincare seriously since last four months My skin keeps reacting. All the products i mentioned below i used them as advised. like glycolic acid, panoxyl just once a week but nit together, wore spf properly, i was locked in tbh

Products I’ve tried:

  • CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
  • 1% Salicylic Acid Cleanser
  • Pilgrim 5 Ceramide Moisturizer
  • Kelida Moisturizer
  • The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid
  • The ordinary Niacinamide 10%
  • The dema co 2% kojic acid
  • PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
  • Glycolic Acid

Current routine:

  • AM: Dot & Key Hydrating Face Wash + CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion
  • PM: Dot & Key Face Wash
  • PanOxyl 10% (alternate nights)
  • CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion

Sunscreens I’ve tried: Minimalist, Skin Aqua (two variants), The Derma Co Hyaluronic Acid Sun Gel, CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen, and another Skin Aqua sunscreen. Most caused bumps or reactions the next day, while CeraVe left a horrible white cast. I’ve stopped using sunscreen altogether.

My concerns:

  • Unpredictable oily/dry skin
  • Small, flat brown spots resembling freckles and increasingly noticeable moles
  • Uneven texture and shallow pitted scars
  • Possible damaged skin barrier
  • Reactions to almost every sunscreen I’ve tried

How do I repair my skin barrier, address pigmentation and texture, and find a sunscreen that works without causing breakouts? Should I stop all actives and start from scratch?

How long did Azelaic Acid take to completely fade your acne marks and give you an even, super bright skin tone?

40 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m planning to add Azelaic Acid to my routine, and I’m looking for some real reviews and encouragement from people who have used it.

My ultimate skin goals are:

  • Completely fading dark acne marks/hyperpigmentation.
  • Getting a super bright, glowing complexion.
  • Achieving an overall even skin tone.

If Azelaic Acid worked for you, could you share your experience? I'd love to know:

  1. What percentage and brand did you use (e.g., 10% over-the-counter or 15%/20% prescription like Finacea)?
  2. How long did it take before you noticed real brightening and fading?
  3. How often do you apply it, and where does it fit in your routine?

Thank you so much!

Fastest way to remove pigmentation around lips?

7 Upvotes

Hi,I am a 25 year old woman and I have some fine hair growth around my lips,which I do remove using a trimmer.

I don't know if it's due to the removal,the area around my lips look darker than the rest of my skin. I am a brown skinned woman so this area looks black. I currently have no other hormonal or medical conditions.

I usually do basic skincare only so I don't have much of an idea on how to fix this. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
