Oily skin, contrary to popular belief, is usually caused by a dry/damaged skin barrier. It may seem counter intuitive, but something like a moisturizing routine might actually help alleviate dryness. If not, then I would try a bha, aha, azaleic acid, or tretinoin alongside the moisturizing routine.

Just use a ph neutral cleanser and moisturizer and you’ll be fine. Toner is usually a waste of money, <<<serums

How to permanently lighten skin

Not possible in the sense that you’ll always need to do maintenance. MSM, hydroquinone, and sunscreen should get you a few shades lighter. Also topical vitamin c helps.

I've found aloe vera gel to be pretty reliable as a moisturizer but requires more application throughout the day. Just less consequence with breakouts and irritation. It's cheap too

Plus obvious anti sun-burn/damage benefit.

Nasofolds sometimes are caused by shit maxilla projection, but can be reduced either way. Hydrocolloid patches overnight,tretintoin, and a moisturizer can help.

Make sure to get one without preservatives and nasty chemicals. Other than that yeah aloe Vera is great

yes my nasofolds are only visible in certain lightning because my zygos are huge and my maxilla is recessed so the maxilla soft tissue cant hang with my cheekbones however i will try what you recommend thank you

What is best for improving skin quality? I have been using tret to get rid of my actual spots but still have pretty bad collagen + blackheads and some redness. Also some scarring
 
I have to ask, what's a good, easy applicable moisturizer for the scalp if you have longer hair?
 
Hi, Since You Know So Much, what can I do to fix my very dry skin. there is white things all across my face from dryness
 
what should I do in order to get rid of uneven skin tones and random texture/scarring (not serious but semi noticeable)

How long have you been using Tret for? I reckon tret can solve all those issues if given time.

Any, it’s about the method of application. Rub on your fingers and rub your scalp with your fingers

That’s dead skin, I would recommend exfoliating lightly with a towel when it flares up and for EXTREME moisturizer use Vaseline on wet skin. For something. A little lighter use cicaplast baume b5.

Texture and physical acne scars would really only be fixed with tret (subtle) and micro needling (would need many.) for the uneven skin tone I would usually recommend vitamin c but I would like more details
 
why korea actresses or idol have so perfect young skin , what you think work the best? like basic skincare tretino suncreen moisiture or Plasitc IPl, lazer , filler?
 
Simple skincare routine that cant go wrong
 
Why does my skin tend to be better when not using any products compared to using products?

Asians in particular have an extensive skin care list since the skin is their version of looksmaxxing basically. Ive heard they have like 10 step routines, and visit their derm/asteathicican every month. Not to mention products in Asia are generally less inflammatory, and so is their food. Mostly genetics though. I would recommend cleanser, tretinoin and moisturizer at night, + sunscreen in the morning. Simples routine to get 80% of the way there.

What I’ve been doing is beef tallow at night and an Asian non water resistant sunscreen in the morning, that’s it. Reduces inflammation and irritation from mainstream products while being moisturizing + anti bacteria.

Most likely because 1. Your skin may not have acclimated yet to the product or 2. You’re using harsh products. Either way you don’t need a super long routine.

Make sure you’re using a lower percentage and that you didn’t break your skin barrier already, all of those seem like symptoms of dry skin. If not, then tret gets its maximum effects at 12 weeks.

Does the tretinoin + hydrocortisone combo actually shrink the nose? also if you don't mind id like it if you can send me some studies you recommend cus I wanna know more about this
 
Are brands like CeraVe bad? If so what to use instead (particularly moisturizer)

Tretinoin can shrink the skin and anecdotally I’ve heard it can melt the fat pads on it. Hydrocortisone is a little more powerful for shrinking the skin but that’s really it. It’s not gonna have some insane shrinkage, anecdotally my nose shrunk like 5-10% on Accutane, the nuclear version of tretinoin. Also, studies are super painful to read and find, considering the publishing articles have a monopoly on them. I’d recommend just browsing skincare subs and fav check your information. You could use ChatGPT also, but just to research, not as a final say all.

It differs from person to person. I’m a big Asian skincare and beef tallow shill, so I would always recommend those over cerave especially, since they have some controversial inflammatory ingredients and pore clogging ones (for some.) I think cetaphil mogs personally, usually has less ingredients and is cheaper. And so I would just recommend beef tallow.

Yes, just make sure if the sunscreen is water resistant or zinc/titanium dioxide that your cleanser is strong enough to remove it but gentle enough to not strip your skin too much. If it’s not water resistant than a shower will usually be enough to remove it all.

How long did you use it for until there was noticeable change?
 
Is Santa Cruz beef tallow reliable for skin care, I use la roche posay cleanser and moisturizer then top it off with beef tallow. Yay or nah?

I actually got worse even after six months of tretinoin. But I’m the exception, not the rule. Good timeframes is max 12 weeks though,
