those over the counter?
adapalene(differin) is over the counter , trust me , adapalane is a safe stable powerful retinoid , it will save you just put in your whole face along with your nose its a lifesaver , btw those are not blackheads those are sebacious filaments and retinoids in general are extremely effective against them
adapalene doesnt do anything to blackheads, and many say tret is effective for it but i didnt get that amazing results personally.
Just get Korean oil cleanser
alr ill look into, kinda thought it wasnt blackheads because i saw somewhere else it could just be sebacious filaments but i couldnt tell but how are you sure its sebacious filaments?
"Retinoids or simply retinol can be very effective at removing sebaceous filaments from the face"
are they black in color ?
sebacious filaments are very hard to exfoliate so a cleanser wont do any noticeable effect
pretty sure they're not unless im retarded but they're more like a LOT of tiny holes clumped up, like no color just a hole in the skin or atleast thats what it looks like
yep , get differin
he wants something over the counter , adapalene worked for me , idk how it didnt work for you honestly
that shit , btw it looks expensive , i am pretty sure you can find it cheaper , looks like from the uk so try this https://www.doctorfox.co.uk/acne-treatment/differin.html
its safe and everything? thanks ill probably use it im realising i have sebacious filaments like on most of my face, under my lips, forehead and most of it, so yh
yeah , its called the T zone in your face and it produce the most oils , differin or tretinoin will do its job
No Korean oil cleanser is like double cleansing at night and it's whole job is to clean sebacious filaments and pores more deeply than a normal cleanser ever could
It's a double cleanser not a cleanser, its not a Korean thing, double cleanser are available everywhere , pretty sure a cleanser with salicylic acid will do a double cleanser job ,
Yeah I know Tret or adap is prob better. But I've been getting good results with my Korean skincare without any retinoids trying to get the Korean glass skin look rn
Greycell
Salicylic acid lil bro over counter results in 2 weeks
honeslty you are right , koreans skincare products are amazing but trust me , if you wanna achieve glass skin and skinmog everyone all you need is :
Yo thanks for the tips I'll def try out Adap or tren if my acne scars don't go away soon
your acne scars will never fade away with skincare products , retinoids are the only logical solution
Alright thanks for telling me this I'ma order azelaic acid tmr. Also can you use Tret with azelaic acid? Bc I'ma go to a dermatologist to get prescribed if that's what I need to fade these scars
you could but i recommend you to take it slowly because thats a strong combination and may your skin not tolerate it well , introduce it slowly to your skin and use a moisturizer and spf along with those , azelaic acid is prescription free i believe , adapalane is also prescription free but its expensive , if you already going to dermatologist try to convince her to give you accutane first , if not then take tret , btw microneedling also do wonders for acne scars, you can also use a cheap derma roller , search about it
Alright I'll try and tell my mom to take me to the dermatologist tmr. Will 10% azelaic acid be enough? Im trying to get these scars away before school pictures which is like 2 months away I believe. Will azelaic acid and accutane or Tret (if I cannot convince my dermatologist) fade my scars in that amount of time?
10% azelaic acid is not that effective tbh , in 2 months your acne scars will minimize but dont expect much , you really have to take it slowly and wisely imo , if you are afraid of school pictures use a bb cream and ask your mom to do a makeup for ya or talk with the photographer to edit it , but in 2 months you will definitely see noticeable results, just take it easy and slow in your skin or you will regret it
Alright thanks for that. I heard zinc can make acne go away so should I supplement it or nah? And I ordered a shower and water filter so that might help my acne or acne scars.
That will never do it , if you wanna treat acne the only solution is retinoids, panoxyl works too for bacterial acne
Alr ty for telling me that so I don't cope. I'll just get accutane tmr or Tret whichever one I can get
Do you recommend any specific moisturizer to go with adap? I was looking at lrp double repair moisturizer, seems solid.
