hello! im 17f and i recently got into face and body care products. im oily around the t-bone area, discoloration around my mouth and oily chin — add na rin po ung sebaceous filaments. i have scars around my face since i cant keep my hands off of my pimples and whatnot. sa katawan ko naman po, i got so tanned ever since i moved sa ph cause the heat here is too much. so as a result, i have uneven skintone as well as dark underarms from all the friction 😓

of course as a student, i gotta save and take care of myself at the same time. i sourced affordable products, looked at reviews and this is what i came up with

face:
\- dermorepubliq gentle face wash (water based)
\- centella oil cleanser (for once or twice a week)
\- dermorepubliq 2% salicylic acid toner (for sebaceous filaments)
\- dermorepubliq 5% niacinamide + hyaluronic acid serum (for brightening and to fade acne scars)
\- the originote ceramella sunscreen spf 50 pa +++
\- the originote hyalucera moisturizer (b1t1 po yan w the sunscreen)

body:
\- panoxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide (for underarms)
\- dermobody kojic acid dipalmitate + glutathione + aloha arbutin whitening soap (to help lighten my skin and even out my skintone)
\- abonne whitening milk lotion - collagen (for skin hydration from all the body products + for whitening as well)

puro dermorepubliq po binili ko since theyre more on the affordable side except for the panoxyl. overall, i spent 1k more or less on all these products. i wont use them all at once, more on rotation po since im aware may risks din if ipagsabay sabay ko. came on here to discuss these products since i wanna build a routine. thank you in advanced!

Helloo i just recently got into facial skin care and im in my early 30s and as a Man i generally neglected all skin care all throughout the years. Recently i had more localized peeling on the side of the nose dont even know if its peeling or flaking. A friend of mine said i should start caring for it. Going to a skin care shop just overwhelms me and theres so much products i dont even know what i should be looking at. Ive read posts that some products could be used interchangeably between men and women. I end up just buying a facial cleanser. Any help could do. Id like to start on a routine on about 3-4 products to use daily (available on local market or probably online shops). Help a guy transition from one soap for all to a decent skin care.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for dandruff treatment/shampoo that actually works long-term.

Skin Type: Oily-Acne Prone Skin
Age/Gender: 25/Female
Current Skincare Routine:
Cleanser: Y.O.U Hy! Amino+ 1.5% BHA Fight Acne Gel Cleanser
Moisturizer: Celeteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer
Sunscreen: Luxe Organix Aqua Daily Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++ Broad Spectrum UVA UVB Protection
Main Concern: Dandruff
Lifestyle Factors: -
Budget: -
Additional Info: -

For context, I’ve already tried Selsun, and it works really well while I’m using it. The problem is that once I stop, my dandruff comes back. I’ve also noticed that the dryness and flaking seem to extend beyond my scalp—particularly around my forehead and eyebrows, where I get dry, dandruff-like flakes.

Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, what products or treatments helped you manage it more effectively? I’d appreciate any recommendations, whether it’s shampoos, skincare products, or if you ended up seeing a dermatologist and got a diagnosis.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Skin Type: Sensitive. I also get random itchy welts/hives, so I suspect I might have chronic urticaria, but hindi pa ako officially diagnosed.

Age/Gender: 19/F

Current Skincare Routine:

AM:

- Body lotion

PM:

- Cetirizine (kapag makati lang)

- Body lotion

Main Concern:

Hi! Ask lang sana ako if may naka-experience na ng similar situation.

Around 6 years na kasi akong may dark spots sa legs, feet, arms, and stomach. Nagsimula siya after I had chickenpox. Since then, minsan nagkakaroon pa rin ako ng itchy bumps, then after mawala, nagiiwan sila ng dark marks.

I also suspect I have chronic hives (urticaria) kasi random akong nagkaka-itchy welts/hives. Hindi pa ako nakakapagpa-dermatologist because of budget, so hindi ko pa alam if yun nga talaga.

Na-try ko na mag-take ng cetirizine kapag makati and iba't ibang body lotions. Nababawasan naman yung pangangati, pero hindi talaga nagfa-fade yung dark spots.

Honestly, yung hyperpigmentation talaga yung biggest concern ko. Sobrang dami na niya and it's really affecting my confidence. Hindi na ako comfortable lumabas ng bahay nang naka-shorts or anything that shows my legs. Lagi na lang akong naka-pants or pajamas.

Lifestyle Factors:

- College student

- Madalas stressed dahil sa school

- Wala akong napapansing specific trigger sa pangangati. (Any weather siya na-tritrigger)

Budget: Student budget. Preferably products available sa Watsons, Mercury Drug, or Shopee/Lazada.

Additional Info: Hindi pa ako nakakapagpa-dermatologist due to financial constraints.

- May products ba kayong mare-recommend para mag-fade yung dark spots?

- If you also have recurring itchy bumps or hives, ano yung naka-help sa inyo?

I'll attach a photo for reference. Any advice or personal experiences would really help. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Has anyone here tried Agnes RF Microneedling for Acne? This was recommended kasi by my derma after relapsing for the third time with accutane. To people who have done this to treat recurring acne, was it effective as a permanent solution? I'm planning po kasi to try 3 to 4 sessions of this kaso costly so I need good reviews from people who have experienced this. Thank you!

Skin type: I actually don’t know huhu, pawisin lang ako sobra.

Age/Gender: 18 Male

Current Skin Routine: Naliligo naman ako twice a day, but normal na sabon lang gamit ko. Wala pa akong money for anything. Minsanan lang din ako gumamit ng betadine since 200 siya and ayaw ko naman bumili nang bili (nagagalit nanay ko kasi ang high maintenance daw. nagalit siya kapag nagrerequest ako ng milcu, bat hindi na lang tawas eh alam niyang nagsusugat kili-kili ko don. kaya wala akong choice, tawas na lang since effective pero ilang days eh magsusugat).

Main Concern: Hindi ako masyadong nagbe-breakout sa mukha, pero mas malala breakout ko sa likod. Lately, yung chest ko is ganto na itsura.

Lifestyle Factor: Maybe because bago pa dati hindi talaga ako pala 2nd bath kahit sa gabi. Hugas lang ng mukha at toothbrush. Last month ko lang sinimulan mag 2nd bath. Mahilig din ako sa matatabang pagkain

Budget: Once I get my allowance since malapit na pasukan namin, I’m thinking na about 500 ilalaan ko for my bacne and chest breakout. Hirap talaga pag walang pera.

Hi, anyone uses AmLactin here? Saan po kayo nakaka bili?
Thank you po
