New to this forum but have been lurking for a while, like the title says is there any advice for glowing skin? I have pretty clear skin, no acne etc but I want glowing white skin, is it even achievable? I see these kpop mfs that these girls gush over and their skins are always clear and sometimes literally glow, is it makeup or achievable?

This is some guy who took beta carotene for 3 months of 60k ui:

You should be fine taking it as long as your not an ex-smoker.

Thanks for the reply boss I am looking at these online most of them are 25k UI what do you think UI I should get? also how many do I take a day

I only took 100,000 IU for a few weeks/month or so (overkill ngl), 50,000 IU is plenty.

And you should get this one:

100,000 IU will probably cause kidney/liver problems if used over a prolonged period of time, but I'm sure 50,000 is perfectly safe.

I haven't had any issues thus far and I've been taking these sups since May of 2020.

You don't need a complicated skincare regimen. Use low strength (0.025%) Tret every other day along with suncreen and moisturizer. Most skin related aging is a biproduct of UV and Tret is one the best anti-aging compounds out there for improving collagen.

Why every other day?

EOD gives your skin time to recover since Tret can tend to dry it out. For anti aging purposes you only need to run 0.025% Tret 3x a week so using it EOD is more than enough. If you are using it to get rid of acne you need to start with 0.025% EOD and titrate upward strength wise every 3-4 months until you hit 0.01%. However, I think that you should use 0.1% only if you have more severe acne - this strength can cause a ton purging and is not worth it if your skin issues are more minor. Then you can get a feel for how your skin reacts to different strengths and move back down to 0.025% 3x a week once your acne has resolved.

I started at 0.1 and my face seems fine but I've been using it EOD until my skin gets used to it. If I don't experience issues with 0.1, do you think i should still go back down to lower strength for AA? I barely get acne.

Just note that I initially sandwiched the retin a micro between nianicimide and moisturizer which reduced its strength I think. More recently I've been applying the retin a micro first, waiting 20 minutes and then doing nianicimide and moisturizer which seems to increase the potency of the retin a.

Yeah absolutely. Using that high of a strength when you don't have acne can do more harm than good. You should titrate down to 0.025% and use it 3x a week for anti aging. That along with SPF and moisturizer is more than enough.

What harm do you think? I just wanted to get to homeostasis faster which I read 0.1 would do. I haven't really noticed much problem though, just a bit of peeling and a little redness.

It's only when I couple it with my 20% vit c serum the following morning do I get more irritation. More recently I've been doing retin a EOD with vitamin c on the days between. I'd like to get to vitamin c everyday though.

I'll go ahead and order the 0.04 version of retin a micro since I think that's the weakest version. Any reason to choose the 0.025 cream instead?

Sorry if this is like a bonehead question but I should use tret even if I don't have acne? also sunscreen I'm guessing is only when I'm out right?

Use sunscreen every day regardless of whether you're out or not because UV rays can penetrate through windows. And whether or not you want to use Tret depends on your goals. If you're happy with your skin then it doesn't hurt to use Tret to prevent aging but you don't have to.

Absolutely do not use vitamin c serum alongside Tret this can cause irritation. Just get your vitamin C through a multivitamin or supplement.
 
Thick skin and collagen. Which is not achievable
