dehydrated skin for 1 year

[gamma13]

My skin is dehydrated even before I started taking retinoids like... taz My skin is ruined; I look like a 60-year-old man. For months my skin simply refuses to moisturize; it's very tight and peeling, and my wrinkles have gotten worse. I find it strange that no one in this forum is talking about skin dehydration. Often people tell you to use moisturizing cream, hyaluronic acid, and Cicaplast B5, but all these products won't give you any solutions. It's like I hadn't even thought of it, but nothing's working; on the contrary, it's more tense. This fight is starting to make me lose hope. I just want to go back on a retinoid to fix all this, but my damn skin refuses.

I spam diuretics but dietary supplements are simply cope. Your body filters them before they even reach your skin

Dude, I had this skin before I even knew about Looksmax JFL If you think diuretics dehydrate the skin, you're stupid.

Seriously, 2-3 years old, dude? Leave this forum

apply tallow on your face and stop using drying shit like retonoids and cleansers

No amount of retinoids is going to fix your skin dude

I stopped using everything; my skin just refuses to absorb moisture. The moisturizing cream stays on the surface. Beef tallow ruined me

When I finally manage to control this damn hydration, I'll go back on retinoids; there are no other solutions.

Duiretics could be the problem they cause dehydration, Supplement potassium (40-80 mEQ ) if using more than once weekly.

Use an emollient and try to intentionally upregulate sebaceous gland activity so that you can trap moisture in your skin.

I think there's a difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin. My skin is dehydrated, so to compensate it produces more sebum while still feeling tight and dehydrated.

lmao water is free bro

If your skin is very dry, why use retinoids? I have oily skin before but that is what it is used for, I did peel after starting but I switched to a heavier moisturiser and using a silk pillowcase makes my face not dry overnight.

It was the retinoids that dried out my skin Did you manage to get through the purge? What's your routine?

bit late but a moisturizing cream is mostly for LOCKING in water, and stopping transepidermal water loss (twel) through maintaining the stratum corneum's proper hydration (outermost layer of the epidermis). Hyaluronic acid is insufficient when ur skin barrier has been thoroughly compromised (through ur heavy use of retinoids), cicaplast is used mainly on barrier irritation and not on a loss of tewl, although skin is largely affected through dietary problems and genetics, due to ur use of retinoids improperly, u would need stronger products e.g. 10-15% urea cream (night only) + a very strong emollient (urea being a keratolytic humectant is significantly more effective for use on a compromised lipid matrix due to its ability to dissolve dead skin cells WHILST hydrating the epidermis [also removing usual dehydrated skin symptoms e.g keratosis pilaris, dull skintone through removal of the upper corneocytes [dead skin cells]]) although using hyaluronic acid with this can help as it can hold more water compared to urea, It would be best to wait a couple weeks for cell turnover until you reintroduce this (u could also reintroduce cicaplast later on too) as hyaluronic acid can cause excess dehydration if your skin is that compromised. DONT start retinoids again until ur skin has fully healed even if you aren't seeing results yet, that would be extremely stupid as that itself would literally destroy your skin to a almost irreversible point, the wrinkles and probably dull skintone are due to the dehydration and dead skin cells sitting on the top of your skin. Oh and probably the highest iq option is to see a derm tbh, its extremely difficult to give advice without seeing the skin itself.

np, oh and I should say since urea is a exfoliant, over use (like daily every week) can pause ur progress depending on skin sensitivity, so every other day is optimal
