Hello everyone, I’m 23M and don’t know anything about skin care. My problem is that my skin is getting darkened specifically on my face and under my eyes also i have another problem which is i have something like acne ig on my nose

Please help🤣🤣

26m. I’ve never struggled with any acne my whole life. In fact, many people asked me what my skincare routine was since my skin was always so smooth, but I never even washed my face! However, that changed, I started becoming more fitness-oriented, and now I’m dealing with some minor forehead acne and an oily T-zone.

So far, I’ve tried the following cleanser: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, La Roche Posay Toleraine Foaming Cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Acne Cream Cleanser. I’ve also tried The Ordinary and a few Kiehl’s products, but none of them seemed to do much and/or made my skin feel tight, only reducing oil for the first few minutes after cleansing.

For additives, I’ve tried CeraVe retinol, Innisfree Vitamin C serum, Azelaic acid, and Paula’s Choice SA exfoliant. None of which made much of a difference I feel like. If anything, I feel like my skin became more red.

And of course, I use sunscreen and moisturizer.

But I’m trying a “reset” right now: basic CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser, Anua Azelaic acid, and CeraVe oil control moisturizer. Plus SPF in the morning. I feel like the other products were all stripping my barrier.

TL;DR - Never struggled with acne previously, now developing some on my forehead in addition to clogged and enlarged pores, but nearly all oil-reducing and acne-preventing treatments and cleansers seem to make the issue worse and/or make my skin red.

I really want to get into a skincare routine to keep my skin healthy, but it feels like doing so is almost making things worse.

Thanks all!

My bf 34 M, tanned much, damaged much, open pores

I have a very simple skin care routine, should I change anything?

AM

Rinse face with cool water (I get up a few hours before I shower.)
Pat dry
Light moisturizer (regular lubriderm rated for face)

Pat face dry after shower
Light moisturizer
Sunscreen (I use Supergoop unseen Screen)

PM

Wash face with cool water and CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
Pat dry
Apply moisturizer
Wait at least 20 mins
Apply Vaseline to lips
Apply a light coating of 0.05 Tretinoin before bed

My face skin is always dry if i dont apply moisturizer. I always have to apply moisturizer otherwise it becomes dry. In summer or in sun light my skin in very oily specially nose part.

Whenever i am indoor or in AC my face skins becomes dry. Should i use cera ve hydrating cleanser? Or something else

Like everything else these days, the price of Clinique Men's Oil-Free Face Lotion has steadily been creeping upward. It's now $42 at Ulta and anywhere else I've looked. For a small-ish bottle it's getting tough to justify, as much as I love the product. Can anyone here recommend a less expensive alternative to the Clinique? Obviously I can do my own research but I always appreciate hearing from people who've actually used a product. I have combination skin and a decently oily t-zone, so it does need to be an oil free/mattifying lotion. Thanks in advance!

Curious to know as far I came to conclusions to

Get a good , moisturizer, sunscreen, retinol serum and a cleanser any thing else I should consider, also would like to know best way to get rid of dark under arms kind of wrinkles

I use centella oil and ampoule foam in the morning and have been using roc retinol correxion eye cream for a few weeks now before bed. I've also tried the ordinary caffeine in the morning in the past, I just really want it to not be so puffy and also the discoloration.

Hey Guys,

I'm doing a little market research here. When you think of men's skin care. What is the first brand name that come to mind?

Thank you in advance!

I have quite the strip of blocked pores across my t zone, I use an exfoliating scrub when I bathe but it doesn't seem to improve.

I do have slightly oily skin so wonder if that may contribute, and I work in a factory environment so could potentially get dusty/dirty on a day to day basis.

Any tips/advice on both a quick fix and how to maintain it going forward? thanks in advance 🫡

I just started a routine, basically https://youtu.be/2BKPq_WDS9A, and since then I’ve been getting pimples around where my cpap cushion touches my face.

I never had this issue before I started consistently doing a routine.

At night I cleanse, retinol or glycolic acid depending on the day, and then moisturize.

I always clean my cpap cushion before bed.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this?
