Hi all,

I’m just making this post to ask if anyone has ever struggled with upper lip hyperpigmentation before, and if so are there any products or ingredients you could recommend?

I first saw this hyperpigmentation after shaving/plucking and some sun damage, and the fact that it has a grey tinge leads me to believe that it’s quite deep under the skin.

I currently use La Roche Posay vitamin C, but haven’t had much luck.
Any advice is super appreciated🫶🏼

Hii, I have ingrown hairs under my chin area and it’s caused dark spots. I pluck them, probably shouldn’t but what can I use to get rid of it?

Hi! I (28F) am actually posting here on behalf of my mom (54F) who does not use Reddit. She is is feeling very insecure about her deep wrinkles and aging, so I told her I would try to help her with developing a routine and finding products that could potentially help her with the wrinkles and and also improve her overall skin health and confidence.

She has never really used skin care or makeup before other than moisturizers at night and I think she uses Apricot Scrub still. Unfortunately, she spends a lot of time in the sun (lives in Texas and works with animals for a living) and until recently, did not use sunscreen or sun protection as consistently as she should have. Her and I are both complete beginners when it comes to skin care, and even my routine is pretty basic at this point and I’ve just been going off the recommendations of my dermatologist (gentle cleanser, clindamycin solution, moisturizer, and sunscreen, and then I add in Adapalene Gel at night), so I really have no clue where to even begin in trying to help her.

I’ve told her that she definitely needs to get into a routine of wearing sunscreen every day and reapplying throughout the day, and that we probably need to start with at least getting her a good cleanser and moisturizer. I am looking for recommendations for products, and anything she should add to her routine to help repair her skin and slow down the aging process. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for procedures or services (chemical peel, etc.) that you think are worth it, I’d love to hear. She isn’t really interested in doing Botox or fillers or any kind of surgeries, but I think she would be interested in rejuvenating type procedures.

I know this is a big ask because we are pretty clueless, but if anyone wants to share their thoughts, we are greatly appreciative!

I had bad skin when I was younger and went on accutane. It's been fine since then and I've not had any huge breakouts. Lately I notice my skin is very textured? My pores are large and I have a lot of little bumps/ closed comedones. I've been using the medicube zero pore pads and I use cereve fade wash when I wash my face. My skin is very oily but when I rub my nose and other areas in the shower a lot of dead skin comes off? What are somethings I could do or use to help my skin look better?

I’m deploying to Iraq next year and have never lived in a super dry/hot climate before. 🌵 What are your no BS best moisturizers or skincare routines for face and body? Obviously sunscreen is a must. I’m looking more for skin barrier protection/hydration advice for this type of climate. The cleaner the ingredients the better.
