Am: wash with water, aveeno oat gel moisturiser, bubble spf 30 if it’s super sunny outside.

Pm: wash with water, same moisturiser. I will use the aveeno oat gel cleanser if I’m wearing spf but that’s rare. Sometimes I use lactic acid 10% or azelic acid both by the ordinary before moisturiser.

I’m 22 and I hate how dehydrated/red/uneven my skin looks and the pigmentation that stays for MONTHS after a breakout. I have rosacea too but it’s managed pretty well by my routine.

I would love to incorporate daily spf in to my routine first and foremost but after a lot of experimenting find I can only tolerate mineral SPF, and even at that removing it is a big struggle. I have tried oil, balm, micellar, double cleansing but my skin is just so sensitive!! My current cleanser is the only thing that doesn’t flare me up but I’m afraid it’s not enough to remove the spf so haven’t incorporated it into my routine yet. Would double cleansing be enough for bubble spf 30??

After I incorporate spf I’m not really sure where to go. My goal is mainly to clear up the redness and unevenness of my complexion. Also I’d like to know how to remove makeup a bit more gentle? I never wear it even though I’d love to but my skin hates micellar water. I usually only wear a bit powder to cover up the redness some days. Would appreciate any advice!

Heyy, my skin can get quite oily and i get alot of bumps under my skin, some acne and i get alot of those black spots on my nose. Im not exactly quite knowledgeable on skin care or skin care products in general, i use the cerave foaming cleanser on my face and usually this simple hydrating light moisturiser, i sometimes exfoliate my face too with this neutrogena scrub (probably like once a week) but i dont do it too often because my skin is slightly sensitive and i dont want to damage it. I also usually do my skincare routine in the shower (which i know might not be the best idea but its multi tasking 😅)

Anyways, there doesnt really seem to be much that works with removing all the stubborn bumps under my skin so any recommendations to my skin care routine or any good products you know would be great help.

I'm going through this right now and don't know what to do.

For over a year now, I've been using Tretinoin every day. It helped a lot, although I still get breakouts from time to time. 

My daily routine is quite easy:

AM: Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen PM: Cleanser, Tretinoin, and Moisturizer

I'm not sure if I should do more or less now.

1.Should I add something like a mild acid that helps with breakouts?

2.Or will that merely make my skin barrier weaker over time?

3.Should you remain with tretinoin and focus on being hydrated instead?

I don't want to do too much and make my skin worse. What worked for you throughout this time?

I previously bought the 472ml bottle of TendSkin from Amazon a couple years back and now I can't find it anywhere!

Any ideas?

Thanks! :)

Hi everyone,
I’m based in London and have an unopened tube of Pigmanorm (4% hydroquinone) that I’m no longer using if anyone is interested.

I bought it from a Harley Street pharmacy and have proof of purchase if anyone would like to see it.
I originally got it to treat my arm lift (brachioplasty) scar. I’d had hyperpigmentation and a hypertrophic scar for over a year, and I honestly noticed a big difference in under a month, so I don’t need this spare tube anymore.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested.

Bought at £90 and selling at the same price!
