For the face or body? This one is for the face. I've never tried this particular one but I've heard plenty of people that love it. For the face my go to would be the Tan Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Serum.

Would skin type 4 benefit from the tanning effects of this?

You mean Fitzpatrick 4? You might see a small difference but it likely wouldn't be a whole lot.

updating on doing a 2 mm dermapen, didn't have any scarring after 3 weeks of doing it, even though I went very aggresive one some spots where more scarring appears. If after 1 year of microneedling yields little results on smoothing out some depper one (most are shallow), I'll be going to a professional dermatologist to do a chemical peel, but I'm on the browner side and tca cross seems to cause hyperpigmentation to darker skinnned people.

Im doing some microneedling for acne scars soon. They have been there for over a decade and some are hyperpigmentated, never did SPF and never used any creams, i try to avoid sun though.
I have read on pro dermatologist sites that you need 2-2,5 mm needles for scar removal, but im starting on 0,25 and increasing slowly. I have also seen some dermatologist using 100% TCA on a toothpick and then applying a tiny dot on deep scars:

Im Fitzpatrick I.
What dermapen/microneedler you recommend? @benignice
Im planning on going to a dermatologist, but im starting my routines before that, shouldn't be too bad should it?

I would never recommend microneedling or TCA at home- there are just too many things that can go wrong.

What's your opinion on ZO Skin Health products? Apparently they're commonly recommended by many dermatologists. They're expensive, though. Do you think they're worth the price?

Cerave cleanser and mosturizer, whatever FPS and tret, don't need anything else.

[Aesthetica]

Amazing thread, just bought some recommended cleansers, moisturizer and sunscreen

 

[zeek]

Skincare is easy.

And you should absolutely not tan JFC.

Beginner-

AM:
(Wash face if needed)
Sunscreen SPF30 minimum (reapply as needed if using chemical sunscreen especially)

PM:
Wash face
Moisturize
Retinoid

Level up by adding Vitamin C in the morning before SPF.

Sprinkle in a glycolic acid exfoliating product once a week.

Face wash for acne - Benzoyl Peroxide 5%-10% use in AM/not with retinoid in PM. Leave on skin for a few minutes.
Dry skin - cream cleanser
Oily skin - gel/foaming cleanser

 

[DoctorLooksmax]

whereabouts would applying a pst shave balm come into this? Also is it better to shave in the morning or evening?

How are your scars now

 

[Deleted member 17585]

I disagree with his shit take on short chain paraben esters but the rest seems good

 

[Deleted member 15827]

For those that have read it, is there any more info that you want to be included before I post it as a thread instead of a google doc?

please include how to lighten skin too without too much risk and also which products can help in pore size instead of just suggesting makeup. Also any non- clinical method to reduce atrophic scarring atleast to a certain extent will be helpful.

I bought the La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser and now when I looked closer it said it was for makeup removal bruh

 

[germanlooks]

Shit sounds expensive af and also a lot of effort.

Does all the other stuff besides sunscreen, moisturizer and retin a really make a difference which is worth the costs and extra steps?
