what can i do to get rid of milia

 

[Thebuffdon]

Can I use hydroquinone on my dark circles?

 

[Minato894]

Antes que nada, tengo dos preguntas para ti.
¿Es realmente la dieta tan importante para el acné?
He intentado varias veces comer lo más sano posible y reducir los carbohidratos con un índice glucémico alto, pero aún así me salen brotes de vez en cuando.
Por suerte, ya no tengo acné activo, pero sí cicatrices y una textura un tanto desagradable. Mi dermatólogo me recetó adapaleno y peróxido de benzoilo para el acné. Esto funcionó, pero no ha hecho nada por las cicatrices del acné. ¿Alguna recomendación?

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

What about 1 week?

You’re likely gonna get worse during that time frame.

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

Can I use hydroquinone on my dark circles?

Under the eye? I think the skin in that area is too thin. I would recommend kojic acid instead.

La dieta nomas hace peor lo que ya tienes. Si ya tienes acné, y tienes una dieta mal, lo va hacer más irritado. Adapaleno y peroxida no hacen nada para los cicatrices. Lo que necesitas es tretinoina.

[Seong Gi-Hun]

Exfoliation is key. If it’s under the eyes, than physical exfoliation. Anywhere iCal exfoliation.

Tranexamic acid would be the next step up. If that doesn’t work , then I like this: https://mytopicals.com/products/fad...eEJLGcwvwD6sSJ-3vRu-UbOvdjT7rxboICqh9pDp3AmYy it has a bunch of different anti hyperpigmentation ingredients. If even that doesn’t work, then maybe you can use hydroquinone, but once every 2-3 days.

Btw what do you mean by getting worse? As I'm the accutane + hydrocortisone will do the opposite of thinning my nose?

How to get rid of yellow undertones and instead get red/orange/golden ones?

Can I use hydroquinone for 3 months and then maintain my results (if i get some) with tret + aza?

Cap nigger we can debate about it I know more

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

No, rather that time frame would be when you’re likely gonna start purging on tretinoin. The thinning will continue

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

Look at the ingredients, avoid oil based ones, and if it’s heavy double cleanse

Undertones are usually genetic unless you get a tan or do the opposite and hide from the sun. But beta carotene or melanoma n is a good start.

Yes, but expect slight reversal with just azelaic acid. Azelaic isn’t as potent as hydroquinone.

hydrocolloid patches reduces naso folds? first i'm hearing of this, aren't these patches for spots?

I tried many of them and tried mineral ones, I even kept track with chat gpt about the ingredients, double cleansing aswell

They still break me out, is it because I apply too much? i usually cover my whole face, or could my skin be that sensitive

Yes, but they’re pretty hydrating.

Ingredients aren’t terrible, but could be a lot better. For that price point look into vanicream or cetaphil sunscreen.
And tretinoin is the gold standard for acne and aging. Possibly one of the most fundamental looksmaxxing products.

Mineral ones? Are we talking about bb creams or sunscreens

I've never heard of melanoma. What about lycopene?

I've heard bad things about hydroquinone like once you stop using it, dark pigmentation will come back even stronger

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

Sorry, I meant to say melanotan, the peptide. Hydroquinone you can cycle to avoid hyperpigmentation rebound, and beta carotene will always be the gold standard for coloring,

 

[idescended]

Most bb creams have spf, I’ve tried ones without even, I mean give me an example of one you think won’t break me out and I will compare the ingredients

I don't wanna de darker with melanotan, just more red undertones. Will I have to keep using hydro forever basically?

 

[actualunderstander]

Yeah? Then what should a person who has persistent acne (not terrible but it's noticeable) for the last 5 years and no matter what he tries it doesn't go away? They workout and play sports so they are always sweating which may cause it. But they tried multiple types of facial creams, washed face though out day, changed sheets and pillow cases frequently, even tried tretinion. What do

Elf, covergirl, and neutrogena are good for the price point

 

[Seong Gi-Hun]

Well you’ll need to either accept that you need to use blush or consistently use vasodilators of some sort. That’s beyond my knowledge at the moment, so tread carefully. After a while on hydro you could just use maintanence applications

I was in the same position as you a while back, save yourself the time and just hop on Accutane. If you’re weary look into fixing your skin barrier

Yeah if only down for two weeks it’ll just revert back after. You gotta cycle the hydrocortisone and apply tretinoin every week or so first and slowly go up to every day

your skin messed up before the skincare?

Products for acne scars

Tretinoin gold standard, for physical scars use aha/bha peel from the ordinary, for discoloration use topicals faded

 

[Orbitinglowlife]

Was

your skin messed up before the skincare?

Yes, i started getting acne around 13 on my forehead. After i got a facial i started to experience cheek acne. May not be caused by the facial because I coincidentally started growing more bone mass around that time. Probably hormone changes

 

[cuh4cuh]

I've been mixing tretinoin with hc and slathering it in my nose for 2 weeks

What do you mean exactly by cycling the hc?

Also applying tretinoin everyday is fine for me now, I already went through the purge stage.
