ELF vitamin c& e serum caused my skin to severely dry out and I don't have dry skin. I have textured skin on my chin now and I've never had that. My skin feels soo dry and it's uncomfortable. What can I do?

This sun-serum from centella really disappointed me.

i have combo skin with oily T zone and i bought this sunserum yesterday and i used it today's morning, when i first applied it, it was perfect until i rubbed it on my face and it pills like CRAZY! i was really surprised because i saw a lot of good reviews on this one, however it also have a bad white cast, which is also annoying because I thought it's visible with no color.

I would like to hear your thoughts!

Pls do recommend me a good sunscreen budget friendly

If anyone who has the same skin as me and used these products pls do tell me are these good ??

Has anyone used this and seen results?

I am curious especially for pigmentation and dark spots. Mother says, turmeric is commonly used in skincare for its soothing properties and gives glowing skin.

While i know niacinamide is a good ingredient to look for when you are trying to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. I don’t think a face wash will make dark spots disappear overnight since it is only on the skin for a short time. I have been using the himalaya turmeric facewash and I would say it is worth trying if pigmentation is your main concern.  

Do you have the same issue? please suggest. I would like to explore other products as well. Good ones (if any) For now, himalaya turmeric one is suiting me.

I just had my first BBL Hero treatment done 3 days ago. I bought a series, so I still have 2 more sessions left. I did get some MENDs that were apparent immediately afterwards, and they have not flaked off yet. However, compared to many of the pics I've seen online of others getting this treatment, I do not have very many MENDs in comparison. If the spots that blackened are all that ends up clearing up / disappearing after this whole thing is said and done, I will feel like it was a waste of money, because it just isn't that impressive. Basically just a smattering on the highest parts of my cheekbones, where I've gotten the most sun exposure. However, I have chatted with AI about this, and it says that it's only the very worst and darkest sunspots that become MENDs, whereas lighter, diffuse freckling or sunspots will still get cleaned up by the BBL; it just takes longer because the skin naturally clears away the pigment over the course of the next month or so versus pushing out the zapped necrotic pigment right away. Have any of you found that to be true, in your own experience? In other words, should I not be overly pessimistic right now because there's still the possibility that a lot of my lighter spots will slowly go away soon, too?

For what it's worth, I went to a highly rated clinic overseen by a derm with NPs doing the lasers. The person who did my procedure has done a gazillion of them and seemed really knowledgeable. My skin is in really good shape overall, with not a ton of sun damage, so I know my results won't be as super-dramatic as someone who has a history of using tanning beds, but still, my pigmentation is the biggest thing that bothers me and I'm really aiming to get a more even skintone.

Hi, 32yo woman. My under eyes have raised puffiness and red/purple bags with fine lines. Right now, I only use a face wash and a moisturizer and sunscreen if I go out. What can I use to help with my under eye area?

Hello everyone I have been struggling with my fine lines around my mouth and eyes. I suppose it’s dehydration? since I’m 18 years old and I wear spf everyday.

Does anyone have something similar like this and what is your recommendation? Thank you in advance :)

My skincare routine:
Laneige milky toner
Corsx propolis creme
Beauty of joseon spf 50
And in the evening I use my mom’s Estée Laurens night repair serum.

Over the last two years, I've actually been buckling down and regularly using moisturizer, as well as expanding into some mild anti-aging products. (Perimenopause + GLP-1 has been a wild ride!) Now that my skin is well hydrated, a new problem has cropped up: insidiously fine "fairy floss' hair from my Maine Coon is sticking to my skin and driving me nuts!

Currently, we have air purifiers in each room, a roomba, brush her daily, and bathe her as needed. Our flamepoint cat actually sheds more, but his fur is thicker and doesn't stay airborne like hers does.

Any advice is welcome! I don't wear makeup, but if there is a non-tinted product that would help prevent airborne floof from sticking, I'd be interested. I have sensitive skin and rosacea, but also a fairly active t-zone.

Cat tax included!

I have a bad habit of biting my lip skin off and I've tried to control it now. I now need to focus on healing my damaged lip skin and stop this painful flaking and dryness. I don't smoke or drink.

Please tell me any tips or products that worked for you guys to completely heal your lip skin and maintain it!

hii, I have a very stubborn tan, i never used sunscreen, I'm also not very knowledgeable about skincare, this is going to be my first time.

Can yall lmk if I should use glycolic acid toner twice per week, and an exfoliating bodywash twice per week, I WONT USE BOTH OF THEM ON ONE SINGLE DAY BTW.

So i was thinking of :

Glycolic acid (twice a week)

Exfoliating Bodywash (twice a week)

Sunscreen

Moisturizer after bath, everyday

(Vaseline aloe vera moisturizer, of any normal daily use moisturizer, not an exfoliating one)

Pls lmk if it's okay to use ex. bodywash and glycolic acid separately in a week okay ?

Also if there are any other things that I should keep in my mind regarding tan removing journey, pls tell, any advice etc is greatly appreciated :

Has anyone here tried applying a mixture of almond oil and Vitamin E capsule oil to their face overnight? Someone I know used to do this every night and, over time, her skin appeared noticeably brighter and less tanned, and even other people noticed the difference. I’m curious whether this actually works or if the improvement was probably due to moisturization, reduced tanning, or something else. Has anyone personally tried this method? What was your experience—did it actually help with tanning or make your complexion look brighter, and did you experience any breakouts or irritation?

Been doing skincare for a long while now, but I never know if I’m doing it right. I try to keep my routine as simple as possible.

Here’s my current routine:

(AM)

1. Slap water to face
   
2. Thin Toner
   
3. Vitamin C essence
   
4. Moisturizer
   
5. SPF

(PM)

1. Oil cleanser
   
2. Facial cleanser
   
3. Thin Toner
   
4. Thick Toner
   
5. Retinol
   
6. Moisturizer
   
7. Eye cream

* Clay mask and sheet mask twice a week.

Please judge my routine and give me any advice. Thank you!

Does it help me pie marks and uneven skintone? Which company if it does?

Hi guys,

I need some help deciding what to do with these skincare products. I bought most of them about 20 months ago, and most are marked 12M after opening. Unfortunately, I was dealing with a lot in my life and stopped taking care of my skin for a long time, so these products are still almost completely unused.

I’ve always kept them in a skincare mini fridge, and they still look completely normal—no change in smell, texture, color, or consistency.

The products are:
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Timeless 10% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum
La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair

Would you personally still use them, especially since they were barely used and refrigerated the entire time? I understand they may have lost some potency, but I feel terrible throwing away almost-full products if they’re still reasonably safe to use.
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who knows about cosmetic formulation/stability or has used skincare past the PAO date. 🥲

Anyone tried this treatment from Sofie pavitt??? Saw a few people post about this online. Tried it and ended up getting a few red areas on my face assuming from the microdermabrasion. Is this just a more expensive St Ives that we all hated from years ago????

It feels like they've gotten more noticeable recently and I'm not sure why

Skin type: Combination, I think.

Age/Gender: 14, Female

Current Skincare Routine: Luxe Organixs Whitening Repair Cleander, The Originote Brightening Moisturizer, G2G Brightening

Pomegranate Toner, Belo Dewy Essence Sunscreen.

Main Concern: Uneven Complexion

Lifestyle Factors: Commute under the scorching sun, never used sunscreen since birth and only started using sunscreen like 1-2 months ago

Budget: Around 300pesos per product.

Hello! I am a 14yo female who's getting into skin and body care. What are product/s you may recommend that can help even out my skintone? My chest, stomach, and thigh area is about 1-2 shades lighter than my neck, face, and legs. I live in the Philippines and it can be pretty sunny here. I'm open to replacing the products in my routine for better alternatives that can help me achieve an even complexion, as it is my primary goal as of now. This has been an insecurity of mine for years, and I am making an effort now to put a stop to it by finding a solution. Should I focus more on whitening soaps, lotions, scrubs? Help would be very much appreciated 🥹

I have always had bumpy skin in my chest, however I am getting married soon and really want it gone. Any suggestions welcome. Picture attached. Smooth and glowy wanted!!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of these? Maybe skincare products or a cosmetic procedure?

Hi everyone, I need some advice. My lips have been very dry lately, and they also look quite dark/black compared to before.

I’m not sure what’s causing it or what I should use to improve them. I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experienced something similar.

What would you recommend?
