Get something more gentle. It might be too drying for your skin.

best product for getting rid of dandruff?

also best spoonfeed skincare power packs to buy?

How to get rid of acne scars in the chest? They're red and doesn't seem to leave my fucking skin. I tried putting aloe vera on them but it has no effect other than mitigating the redness only for that day.

Alright, thanks.

I get acne every once and a while, but most of the time I just wash my face and it's no big deal.

I'm getting into skin care, if I don't get acne that often should I get a BHA or an AHA exfoliator?
I'm not planning to use it often, just have it for when my face gets gross.

Also if I'm not sure what to use with an exfoliant, should I just get a retinoid? Thanks in advance.

Retin a requires a prescription

>have ichy acne on my forehead
>too poor for any skincare products
Dont want to touch but fuck is it bumpy

i have this stupid habit of doing something like reading and auto-mode picking my face with one hand. don't know how badly it fucks me but i should probably stop

Wash your face and use a towel on your pillow when you sleep. I've been doing it so far.

Retinol isn't usually used for fighting acne, it's used in anti-ageing products. Not all retinoids are used in the same way.

He said retinol, not retin a. Retinol is available in plenty of skincare products, even down to drugstore level.

Serious question, would Retinol replace an exfoliant in a skin care routine, or would it just be an addition?

Same with me and my hair. Probably gonna fall out

addition. in a standard cleanser > toner > exfoliant > serum > moisturiser routine, retinol is usually in the serum

Same here. The problem for me is that I only recently started reading a lot again, and on top of that, I arch my neck and head forward so my arm can reach it.

Fucking dairy is in everything, can't even get a muffin cause it has butter/milk in it. Just trace amounts of it cause me to breakout. When will this nightmare end.

You don't need the calories, user

The strength must be way lower

STOP MILK/CHEESE ANYTHING DAIRY

Stopped eating dairy months ago and I haven't received a new pimple/cyst since.

Yes that was the question. Seems like you're slowly catching up now.

>retinol topically usually only has a very moderate effect

dairy causes ur hormones to fluctuate thats why

same with too much red meat coz of the zinc

revised routine

I seem to have some comodones on my foreskin. I know from past experience they are a night mare to squeeze out; it can take multiple attempts, and weeks untill it's all healed. Any alternative solutions to squeezing?

i thought zinc was good for the skin?

Hey anons I really need some help
Underaged faggot here, having problem with major white pimple outbreak, I also have scars from popping and scratching pimples, they're brown and makes me look like my face is filled with shit. I have sensitive skin and whenever i use cleansers to wash my face it gets over-exfoliated and gets flaky. So what I do now is use cold water to wash my face twice a day and mositurize afterwards. I also apply an anti-acne scar jelly which I'm unsure if it helps.
Please give me tips or anything i can improve on thankss so fucking much.

Honestly it's a gamble to take isotretinoin. I'm more than 3 months into treatment and haven't had any severe side effects, not even especially dry skin, though strong positive effects. My dose is 30mg daily. Other people might lose their hair or suffer from Crohns disease their hole life, you definitely have to think it through before you begin treatment.

>Voss
Is that some kind of meme?

>face clear left off acne marks after a year
>two months later had a massive huge pimples that I didn't touch yet still left marks

Is this a cycle? I'm very sad

washing with cold water is a good idea. avoid anything too rough like a washcloth unless it's microfibre. shower at a lower temp.

you need to use some sort of cleanser, but make sure it's a light one. you should ideally also apply a light toner and BHA exfoliant, serum with retinol in it to start healing the past damage, and of course moisturise

try sampling some of the products from paula's choice, they're pretty legit.

also put a towel over your pillow and change it each day. half of the acne is spread through your pillowcase. needless to say, don't touch your face. once you start applying a full skincare routine, this will become easier.

the usual warnings about diet also apply. drinking lots of water can help to clear skin, and ensuring that you actually get all the micronutrients, especially zinc iirc, can help to balance your hormones, reducing or preventing breakouts

What are some good benzoyl peroxide products?

this lol. it sucks but in the end im kind of thankful to have such volatile skin, it keeps me away from tons of unhealthy shit that other people inhale and only realize is slowly killing them once they get diabetes and have to lose a toe

bump

Is there anything I can do to reduce the appearance of nasolabial lines? I'm 20 but I think I got them from sun damage so they're not too noticeable. I've heard a chemical peel can help but I don't really know if its worth it. I've got shitty dark skin so I'm probably just gonna have to live with it

Depends if you have the cash to spend on plastic surgery or not.

I have them too and tried a lot of stuff like dermarolling and a ton of creams or masks without any success at all in minimizing them. However they did get a little better once I closed in on single digit body fat percentage, so I'm cutting down again at the moment.

Getting them fixed surgically is the first thing I'll be saving money on once I graduate.

Wouldn't cheese be fine because it has low amounts of lactose?

Lactose isn't the cause of acne, it's the hormones prevalent in dairy. Hence why acne from dairy tends to be more deeper and under the skin (e.g. cysts).

impressive. very nice.

the best there is
