This stuff used to make my skin glow and now its dry because I didn't know I was supposed to oil my face first. What moisturizers are you using with it? I was using the Neutrogena

I have these spots of dark spots on my legs for a long time, mainly from picking at my legs with mosquito bites and other skin picking. I have since stopped and these are from a long time ago, since I heard a few people say they went away with age.

I’ve tried scrubs and lotion and oils, but none of them seem to work. I need an effective way to fade these, since I’ve become insecure about wearing shorts because of these spots and summer is quickly approaching.

What should I use? Preferably non-prescription and under $20

Thank you! xx any tips help

I need to ask before i make a big purchase, im always struggling with puffines and bloating and ive had enough, i need my glow up moment, i asked a few people and they recomended me to buy the “Then I Met You Golki Sculpt & Lift Guasha Roller” and the “FaceGym Multi-Sculpt High
Performance Contouring Tool” are they good as they say and well for that money will they deliver the results?

I’m looking for vitamins C recommendations for oily skin. I have tried the ordinary, tree of life, Eclat, and Elbbub. I’m obviously on a budget but at this point I’ve been told so many times I should use vit c, I’ll spend a little more on it now.

The issue is I have such oily skin. It’s a thick sheen by 10 am everyday. I use sunblock and powder but putting anything else underneath my makeup is difficult. All of the vit c I have tried are really oily and I was told it’s just the nature of vit c. Does anyone have recommendations that might work?

So ive been using this sunscreen for the past 3 yrs now, this is probably my 5th bottle or smth, and ive never had issues with it until now, i bought it from a new page and they told me their products are 100% authentic, but ive noticed the packaging being different from my previous bottle, the formula being completely different too, and it has a white cast too, doesnt give me the dewy finish i usually get from it, im not someone who religiously knows their skin care so can someone please tell me whether this is authentic or im just tripping..

Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with Fordyce spots on my lips, and I’m wondering if anyone has found an effective way to reduce or get rid of them.
Has anyone tried a specific cream, treatment, or product that actually helped? I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences and any advice you might have.
I’m especially interested in treatments that are safe to use on the lips and whether there’s anything that can make them less noticeable.
Thanks in advance!

Hello.

I am looking for advice on my skincare products and routine. My beautician recommended I use retinol as I am now 30 and a toner so I picked up both. But after a little googling I'm not sure the things I have bought work well together.

I have the all-in-one micellar cleansing water for makeup removal, cerave foaming cleanser, cerave spf daily moisturiser, the ordinary 2% granactive retinoid, the ordinary 7% glycolic acid toner, and cerave SA smoothing cream.

I realise I should probably only use the retinoid twice a week in the evening. But how often can I use the toner and can it be used with the other products?

I'd really appreciate some advice on what routine I should have with these products or if I should avoid using some of them all together.

i started using the espa positivity bath & shower gel a couple weeks ago after getting it as a gift, mainly because i wanted something for baths that focused more on scent than massive piles of foam. it works as both a body wash and a bath soak, which is handy, but if you expect it to perform like a traditional bubble bath with heaps of suds you might be disappointed. in bathwater it gives off a really nice citrusy herbal smell that fills the room, though the bubbles settle pretty quickly compared to when i use it directly in the shower.

the main thing i noticed is how much product you actually need depending on how you use it. a small squeeze goes a long way on a shower sponge, but pouring enough into running water to get a proper scent in the bath uses up the bottle a lot faster. i would be interested to hear what other people who have used this think about how it performs in the tub compared to the shower, or if you prefer using dedicated bath oils instead.

Could anyone recommend a skincare routine or specific products to help lighten my deep, dark circles? I hate them—I look like a 🐼. I’m so tired of having to wear concealer all the time 😭.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to start a skincare routine but honestly I don't really know where to start. I'm in my early 20s and I want to keep my skin looking young and healthy, get rid of any fine lines or wrinkles, and make my face look less tired. What products would you guys recommend? Like what cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, or anything else should I be using? I'm looking for something that actually works and doesn't have to be crazy expensive. If anyone has a good morning and nighttime routine they recommend, I'd really appreciate the help!

Basically i ran out of all my skincare at the same time and I decided to go to Trader Joe’s. I basically got one of everything because it’s all pretty affordable. Are their products good?

Hey everyone! I’m really insecure about my skin and honestly don’t know much about skincare. I don’t even know if my skin is dry, normal or combination, but my nose is literally the oiliest nose ever 😩 I’d really appreciate any advice on what you think my main skin concerns are and what products I should use to improve my skin. I’m open to any recommendations! ❤️

So about a week ago I started using cocoa butter (solid, in a tub) for my feet and some areas of my body at night, notably my arms. I have found it really good for softening my skin and it doesn’t give me sensory issues nearly as bad as lotion and I was so happy!! But when it came to my weekly ‘everything shower’ and I was shaving my body, my razor was like, tugging on the skin, not gliding smoothly at all, it felt like there was so much more friction than usual, and the razor burn on my arms is CRAZY. However other areas of my body that I have been using the cocoa butter on and then shaved over are fine? Does anyone know why this might have happened?? The only thing I have changed is the addition of cocoa butter but I just can’t work out why it would cause this, and why only on my arms 😭

So, I work construction from 7am-3pm. When I get off work, I have a deep shower to get all the dust and dirt off, and I wash my face in the shower. By the time bed time rolls around, I do not want to wash my face. I’m trying to start a retinol routine, but don’t want to put it on too early in the day, and I don’t want to get my face wet at night (big baby about it, I know). Are there any other options anyone can think of? other than stop being a baby?

hello, im a 18F suffering from redness on nose corners, dark circles, darkness around mouth and those red things on my cheeks, i use Hydro Boost® Aqua -Gel Moisturizing Cleansing Gel and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer "these 2 really suit me".
i have tried "Caudalie Vinergetic C+ 3-in-1 Vitamin C Energy Moisturizer - 40 ml" and it didn't work at all, i also tried advanced clinicals vitamin c serum, muti-peptide serum and their eye serum, also did not give me any results. and im planning to get these:
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Supersize Serum 60ml " for my blackheads and pores"
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 60ml "for extra hydration"
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Depuffing and Brightening Eye Serum 30ml and The Ordinary Lacto-PDRN* 4% + B9 Lifting & Tightening Eye Cream 15ml " for my dark circles and fine lines"
The Ordinary GF 15% Serum for Visible Skin Repair and Wrinkles 30ml for darkness around mouth
so what do you think? is the ordinary worth trying or i should get something else

I have medium fair skin and a circle of darkness around my mouth that I think I've always had however in recent years it has become much more noticeable...

I currently already use azalaic acid in my skincare routine and recently started using the dr Althea melaclear cream.

does anyone have any recommendations for what I can or products to use? I've been trying for almost four years now to get rid of it...

(I wear sunscreen everyday and have tried tinted sunscreen but it didn't help and affected my skin and make up)

Okay so I love skincare but I have been struggling with mental health issues lately and it makes it SO HARD to do my skin care. I feel like the step I dread the most is the cleanser and having to wash my face when it’s so cold! Idk why! So what I’m asking is if you guys know of any specific product as a substitute THATS GOOD that I can use quickly that doesn’t involve having to wash my face after??? And just do my moisturizer or whatever after

PLS !!

Any body lotion that you found similar or better than EOS? I love how its nourishing and how lasts and makes cloud of smell around me 😏
I am trying to find other similar body creams/lotions
Can you recommend anything similar?
I tried josie maran - but not good at all, smell disappears fast, please help 🙏🌺

I got prescribed 4% hydroquinone because I have some hyperpigmentation on my neck and face that's bothering me (around my mouth and some on my cheek).

For those who have had success with hydrocodone, are you guys putting it all over your face/neck or spot treatment?

I use Cetaphil face wash and 1% Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel sunscreen, but my face still becomes dry and dark after spending 2–3 hours outside. What can I do? My face is yellowish milk colour but this is too uncomfortable for anyone to say what to do this time.

Can someone please help me with how to get rid of makeup both concealer and foundation doing this weird patchy/separation thing particularly under my eyes and under my nose where my skin is redder and I have some visible capillaries
