If anyone knowledgeable about skincare could PM me, I’d really appreciate it

[CalmFrog]

I tried researching a skincare routine for my skin but I couldn't really find anything good enough, I tried cleaning my diet a couple of times but nothing really worked.

I dont have acne I have some light pigmentation, some acne scars and other small flaws and some pimples pop up every once a while, I just want skincare products that actually work well

Iam not going to use accutane, iam too high inhibition for that

Summary: my skin health isnt great, need fix, no accutane. Thank you

edit: Basically I need to rejuvenate my skin, so diet changes and good habits wont do anything other than prevent more pimples, which aren't my biggest problems in the first place

Mirco needling is your best bet

Tretinoin + azelaic acid, and monthly micro-needling.

Negligible difference, especially when under 25. I'd just tell you to save your money.
Laser treatments are really good though, haven't seen much talk about them.

Ok makes sense

I’ll look into laser but I’m not 18 yet that might charge me a lot tho

Thank you both, tretinoin seems like its exactly what iam looking for, ill do some research and ask some follow up questions


I have a tretinon 0.05 cream which I guess is also negligible?

Yes Tret will help

Now let me get my solution

Negligible means something so small that it's inconsiderable. Tret is great and considerable.
Also, 0.05% may be a little strong to start out with, I'd always recommend 0.025%.

but you gave a third of the final answer, mess give 2/3rds ,

That makes more sense, I though that 0.05 was nothing, especially after seeing results for 0.1 the first time I searched for it, I'll see what I can do.

Give him the solution, I couldn't care about it.

Definitely don't shoot right up to 0.1%, it'll fuck your skin barrier.

edit your post with the answer and this:

"Negligible means something so small that it's inconsiderable. Tret is great and considerable.
Also, 0.05% may be a little strong to start out with, I'd always recommend 0.025%."

so I give you a valid solution

@Mess

I’ve done enough research to find out that, what you mentioned is exactly the thing I need

But people seem to be very different on what to take and how to use the products you mentioned

I don’t mean to bother you but can you help me with what and when Iam supposed to do this?

- how often should I use Tret? Should I use azelaic acid right after the tret drys or would that irritate the skin?

- are you sure I shouldn’t use any other products?

- how would you recommend I micro needle? I’ve see multiple ways that have pretty different techniques, so Iam quite unsure on how to do it

- and for the azelaic acid should I look for something specific or any name brand is fine

Thank you in advance

Microneedling will help fix scars and use tret for pimples

Don't use the tret at the same time as needling I don't think that's safe
