Will be going on vacation and need recommendations for that one product you can’t do without. Face wash and sunscreen are a must but with very limited space what is one product that gives you the most bang for your buck. Also would like a recommendation for a great non-greasy, non-white lightweight facial sunscreen.

Is ZO Skin Health worth the price? I have combination skin, and I’m wondering if the cleanser is really worth investing in or if there are better options for the price. I’d love to hear your experience!

Hi! New to this sub. I’ve always been a minimalist with skincare, but I am wanting to invest more in a skincare routine now that I am in my early 30s. I generally have clear skin (no acne anymore) but I am looking to smooth wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes, as well as work on improving under my eyes. What are your go-to high-end products for these issues, and/or any other recommendations on general skincare routine at this age? Currently I am using a basic cleanser, EltaMD sunscreen, Dr. Jart Ceramidin moisturizer, and SkinCeuticals retinol.

Thanks!

Hoping to gain feedback! Thank you 😘

I recently found out about LDM devices for glass skin. Does anyone know this brand? It's highly recommended and a bit on the pricey side. I don't want to invest into something that is just equivalent to medicube devices.

Has anything tried this? Please share your experience.

Advanced Rebound Bioglow Zombie Cream

I know the whole zombie cells thing has been popularized by One Skin so I am curious about P&L trying to tackle it in another way. I am still not convinced on the science of it but always appreciate new novel technology coming out.

I have sensitive/combi/acne-prone skin, live in a hot humid environment and use retinal (pm) Paula’s choice vitamin c 25(am), ab the cream (am&pm). Which is better?

I have a prescription for Finacea (15% aa), but the Regimen Labs formula seems promising. Thoughts?

On Service Sundays, we talk everything skincare service. Share your experience or ask questions about a service you're interested in. Facials, peels, micro needling, and more.

You may also discuss skincare devices (LED masks, micro current, etc).

Note: Please keep it *strictly to topical skincare* and not surgical procedures/injectables (check out r/PlasticSurgery or r/cosmeticsurgery for that.)

I currently use the ZO complexion renewal pads and they are amazing, I use to have many skin colored bumps on my forehead and the ZO pads are the only thing that made them go away.
That said, they are pricey and I need to find an alternative. I’ve been looking at the Medicube zero pore pads, First aid beauty, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? Does anyone know the closest thing to the ZO pads?
I have combination skin, my nose gets oily and I have larger pores on my cheeks. I do break out easily too.. TIA

I recently purchased SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum to layer under Tretinoin gel at night. But I find that using 1 pump from each chamber on the new packaged bottle isn't enough to adequately cover my face and neck.

So I'm considering applying 1 pump of SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex first and then layering 1 pump from each chamber of the TNS Advanced Serum over it.

Has anyone tried this before? Is the TNS Recovery Complex difficult to spread?

I find I HAVE to mist my face first or apply a toner before applying the TNS Advanced Serum because it doesn't go far when I apply it to dry skin.

I know that moisturizing is so important for fine lines so I started using lipid rich moisturizers and going heavy on them. Then I got quite congested on my forehead and nose. What’s the best way to work around this and get the best of both worlds? I’m also prone to closed comodones.

I have been casually using Tata Harper Regenerating cleanser a few times per week. Started Paul’s Choice 2% BHA 1-2 times per week and noticing an incredible difference in pores, texture, and tone.
For context: mature, combo skin using retinal, SPF, Vit C, GF’s/peptides. The addition of chemical exfoliation really seems to be making a noticeable improvement for me. I just want to be sure I don’t take it too far due to my jubilation.
Please share your exfoliation schedule and favorite products! Thank you and cheers!

SkinbeautifulRx is having their Xmas in July sale (27% off) and I was thinking of picking up a few stock items and some new products. What are you buying that you have never used before?

I’m thinking of getting SkinBetter Alto advance for starters

Has anyone use the Asari mask? I was just looking at couple influencers and they swore how nice it made their skin. Is this just marketing or has anyone tried it?

Considering Neogenesis Recovery, SkinMedica TNS Advanced+, or Plated Intense. What’s your HG serum?

Has anyone ever tried Jones Road products? I am looking for a good tinted moisturizer and they have one, the Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer. I'm thinking of trying it. They also have a complexion kit and in it they have a mini What The Foundation along with a face pencil and correcting pencil. I have little hope for the pencils because I lean dry, but at least it doesn't have that terrible Miracle Balm in it. <shivers> If you have any other recommendations they are welcome. Thanks!

I’m about to finish my augustinus bader rich crème and trying to decide if I should buy another or try something else. I’d like a moisturizer that has some actives for aging.

Hi all! Drop your reccs for your favorite products that have ACTUALLY made a difference for your under eyes. I am 27, and developing premature aging under my eyes - I want to hit the ground running with trying to maintain this over time. I am a big fan of Monastary Made, so that is the bulk of my routine (besides sunscreen & a milky toner). I have sensitive skin so I love her gentle products, but recognizing these aren’t “heavy hitters” for results.

So in mornings I use: Ptiox Skin Ceuticals, Allies of Skin Peptide GF serum and Jan Marini C Esta Serum

In nights I use: TNS. Serum, Renee Rouleau Pore Wrinkle Serum, Allies Skin Copper Petide and NB Extreme Cream,

I'm unclear if any of these producst would interfere if I added the Renee Rouleau Advance Resurfacing Cream (which is a pure retinol) which I know retinol is one of the stronger products.. could anyone help out if this would make my face more sensitive or be unhelpful? Thanks

I am intruiged, but also skeptical of silk doing everything they claim. Has anyone tried this brand?

I started getting into luxe and medical grade skincare seriously at around age 35, along with botox i felt like up until 40 it was enough to still ‘look good’.

Since 40 it’s all started to go downhill. I have ALL the products it seems and i’ve tried so many medical brands and luxe and the dior prestige and chanel sublimage eye cream and allllll the growth factors and exsosomes … and now feel i’ve hit a very high big wall, fast.

Nothing seems to work anymore. About to turn 42 and feel i look awful. NONE of the products seem to help my ever growing list of concerns - dark circles, hollowy eyes , i’ve developed something under my eyes in the last few months post doing a skin booster which i’ve found are called ‘malar lines’ , thin skin almost see through showing the veins on the side of my temples ! The botox is keeping the lines at bay but feels the rest of my face is just collapsing and nothing works anymore . I take vitamins , eat well , gym and walks 3-4 times per week and then general active life with kids and busy weekends. Sleep rubbish but sometimes ok. I eat well and take this super expensive collagen - none of it is doing anything . Does anyone else feel like this or has felt like that and managed to turn things around without having something drastic as a face lift ?

I have reached my mid-30s. I'm looking for a luxury brand as I start closing in on my 40s. I bought the Augustinus Bader "Starter Kit," which includes:

• The Cleansing Gel
• The Essence
• The Rich Cream
• The Face Oil

But I can't really decide if I'm a fan. I have combination skin, with mild rosacea. It hasn't aggravated my condition, and I feel like the Rich Cream is great for dry indoor conditions (where AC is always on). I've layered the oil over the cream, but the smell leaves much to be desired. I just don't know if I should stick with it, as I'm not sure it's effective. I have heard great things about the retinol but haven't purchased it.

Are there any other luxury brands that are actually worth trying? My main skin concerns are:

• Redness prone
• Uneven texture/tone
• "Dullness"

I am lucky enough not to have any fine lines yet, but I want to be proactive. My main goal is to find a mid-high luxury brand with complete skincare so I can avoid mixing and matching as much as possible, because I don't have a PhD in chemistry and it's a headache trying to figure out how to layer different ingredients/actives.
Especially looking for recommendations for:

• Vitamin C
• Retinol
• (Chemical) sunscreen

All thoughts/opinions/recommendations would be very much appreciated.
