If you can access Tretinoin then you'll need to check back with your dermatologist ... it could be too strong, or something else

there is possibility you're going through what is called 'purging' phase ... google it, there are a lot of video on youtube explaining it.

Your doctor who prescribed it didn't warn you meh..? Tretinoin is retinoic acid, more potent than OTC retinol.

It is not a prescription.  I watched Youtube and then bought it online to try out.  After trying it out,  pea size quantity over my whole face, it felt like a million mosquito landed and sucking blood.  I scratched, until my face turned red and dunk my head inside cold water and it was painful.  Few days later, my skin peels all over and I have to use concealer to cover  it.   Of course, I look smooth when the peeling subsided many many days later.  I am scared to try it again.

this is why it is supposed to only be obtained by a prescription from a doctor or dermatologist and not sourced online after watching YouTube.

For scars, you can buy the mini hifu device & do the treatment at home. Device plus gel cost around $70 & it can last you for at least a year or so. Of course, one maybe fearful that such devices are made in China. But nowadays, most of the devices used by beauty & hair salons are from China & they can charge the customers few hundred dollars per session.

Rambo has many scars, which make him look sexy.  You should consider keeping it or add a few more for good measure.....wahahahaha

Anyone has any recommendations of a beautician who can remove 油庖on the face economically Thks 

Cheap but end up paying more in the end,  rather get a specialist to solve the problem depending on how serious the problem are.

Anyone knows any good products for backne and especially backne pigmented marks/scars. And on my butt too! HAHA T_T

I scrub my back pretty regularly but the scars are pretty stubborn? But they are slowly fading but it's taking forever. 

Also I've used Paula's Choice AHA/BHA body lotion kinda pricey, worked a little I think?

Currently I'm using Somebymi's body wash and AHA/BHA/PHA lotion, hoping it'll do something but idk. 

Now I'm thinking I should try Medicube? Any suggestions/recommendations?

If you are having acne problems on your face, you should try skincare products with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid for face  also helps to reduce acne marks and give you flawless skin in few weeks without any side effects. It even restores natural hydration levels in face skin that is already dry and even helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Unfortunately this isn’t true and just creates false hopes and disappointment, so why not avoid spreading nonsense?

 

hyaluronic acid is a basic hydrator, that’s it. It’s not a magic cure.

To reduce the appearance of acne scars your best option is laser. It will take a few treatments before they completely fade.

There is no purpose for any topical skin scare in the world. Save your money. Wearing sunscreen consistently is the best and only option on our sunny island. The purpose of sunscreen is to shield your skin from UV ray damage so that it may subsequently heal naturally through a healthy diet and cell-building processes. This is as opposed to applying various creams and liquids to your face in the hopes that they will perform miracles. A proper skin care solution can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription, and even then, it is only a temporary fix.  My skin look natural without any "skin care" products.

Hi there, am in my 40s looking for good skincare brands for ageing skin

 

Is sulwahoo men range good?? Any other brands to recommend?

 

Currently using missha and innisfree but think cheap products may not help much except temporary moisturizing effect.

Use these products. It help. Depend on what you aiming. Skin care or anti aging

I am slightly above 50. I am used to receiving praises for my skin from ladies, both young and old about my complexion.

 

Lately I saw some sun spots on my skin. So I quickly bought some skincare products. This is what I bought from shopee:

 

Galactomyces 95 tone balancing essence

Neogen real ferment micro toner

Neutrogena retinol dark spot corrector 

BEAUTY OF JOSEON Matte Sun Stick

 

My skin responds well to any type of treatment. I see the spots fading. I think it starts with applying sunscreen on my face.

 

Anyone had any success with any skincare treatment to share with?

Hi, sorry for reviving an old thread but hoping to pick up some skincare tips for men. Any easy to stick routine and skincare product recommendation for someone that still faces acne as an adult?

 

I find that I can never stick to using moisturiser as it leaves a sticky feeling on the face which I don't like. What are the damage to the skin in the long run if I don't moisturise? 

 

Wallet friendly products are welcomed. Thank you in advance for recommendations!


how bad is the acne? If it is cystic or scarring, go see a dermatologist because no store bought or beautician bought routine in the world will handle this.

I am not an expert in skincare, but I think I have had success with it.  For most of my adult life I have been using daily a sun screen with SFP of 50 and moisturizer, plus two other products with glycolic acid and other stuff.   I don't have a baby skin,  but a very good one free of spots for a senior like me.

I have oil bumps on my face. Any recommendations on what products to use to remove them? Or skin doctors that help to remove them?

these two products do completely different things… 

 

honestly, it is a waste of time giving recommendations for random products here and there - what works for some won’t work for others.

 

people should start with building a basic routine for themselves: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen. Do that first and then look at adding in actives to target specific things as needed. Don’t start a load of new products all at once. Take it easy with introducing exfoliating acids etc.

I apply tumeric paste on whole body. It is for whitening and evening your skin color. Fades blemishes. I could see fast results. Only problem with tumeric is the cleaning up. If it is not cleaned up thoroughly, it will stain your clothes or underwear.
