What is actually essential in terms of skincare?
All the guides here have some long list of specific products they use, half of which sound like memes. Skincare and hairloss seem pretty similar in this respect. In hair loss there are a couple of things that do 90%+ of the work and the rest are extremely marginal with little evidence behind them.
I know daily moisturizer, SPF if going outside and occasional exfoliant are basics. There’s also tret (which looks like a nuclear option to me, shedding most of your skin off an making it extra vulnerable to UV)
What else should you include that has a significant impact?
