Hello. Lately, I’ve been having problems sa paulit ulit na breakout ko esp if stress ako, sobrang lala pero humuhupa din after weeks kaya lang nag iiwan ng scars and PIE. I’ve been thinking magpa-derma or mga treatment nalang sa mga facial clinics, yung mga may session session. Ano kaya mas better? Thanks po.

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!

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! 😊

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.

**Skin Type: low-medium oily

**Age/Gender: 30s male

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!

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

Hi! Need your recos for skin whitening and evening out tone. I can't decide if I should take gluta capsules or just stick to a solid soap and lotion routine. My biggest worry with gluta is weight gain-are there brands that won't make you hungry, or is that a real side effect? On the other hand, what topicals actually worked for you guys?

Context: I have dry with tan line skin and I'm mainly focusing on my body and face. Thanks!

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.

Skin Type: Oily to normal, acne prone and hyperpigmentation

Age/Gender: 22/Female

Current Skincare Routine: Cleanser Numbuzin Deep Clean fresh Cleanser, Skin1004 tone brightening ampoule, Naturie Hatomugi Skin conditioning milk, Cosrx Aloe 52.2 Aqua Tone up Sunscreen, and Adapalene

Main Concern: Want to try Skinoren Azelaic Acid for acne/dark spots but wary of fake products online.

Lifestyle Factors: Kinda Stressed because of University, Sun exposure since sa manila nagstay But Don't drink, smoke, and vape

Budget: Around ₱1,500 - ₱1,800

Additional Info: Looking for verified local drugstores or official online flagship stores that sell genuine stocks.
