Is skincare really neccesarry?

[Deleted member 3060]

I mean, is it really neccesarry to put moisturizer on your face, using face wash, exfoliaters and more?. I started using skin care products from a year ago when i started getting a few pimples on my face, and since then my face has never really been clear, which made me waste more and more money on skin care products that did not work.

When i saw pictures from when i only used water on my face my skin looked alot better and healthy. Is just using water enough? It seems like almost everyone is using moisturizers, face wash nowadays.

No you don’t have to. But it’s gonna help

You can get away with just using tretinoin every day, as long as you at least wash your face in the shower

Some moisturizers are not good for pimples

for me it is
if you think glowing skin would halo you then go for it
sounds like you're just in puberty and that's why you're breaking out more tbh, not to do with the products

Retin if you have acne
Otherwise Cleanser+Moisturizer with an SPF is enough for most

JFL at people who apply 15 different serums
Skincare Scam Industry is HUGE just like Suppelement Industry

it's most likely hormonal, especially much of the acne being around your mouth

you could try cutting the products out and seeing how it affects you skin, for some people products do break them out

but I suggest you start using 0.025 tretinoin and an spf, I think that would completely clear your skin up and improve it's quality

Yeah, I'm only washing my face with water, morning and night now together with epiduo as a spot treatment too see if it gets better or not.

 

[ThreadMatters]

yes

 

[Saoirsecel]

Just wash your face at least twice a day

I went on accutane because my skin was very bad, but yeah a lot of skin care products will just irritate your skin to oblivion and you fall into a trap of buying all these products that never work

I would say it's mostly your diet, don't irritate your skin that much and moisturise if your skin gets dry
Just research a lot

Yeah, the only skincare products that have worked for me are the bulldog skincare set for some reason. I will probably stop using cerave, cetaphil and switch to that again.
