Starting to think that skincare is a meme

[Deleted member 4310]

I have used:

-Retinol
-Vit C
-Vit E
-BHA
-AHA
-Aloe vera gel
-And the basics of course (cleanser, moisturzer and exfoliant)

The only noticeable difference was when I started using moisturizer day and night and exfoliating regularly. Adding all the ingredients I listed made no noticeable difference. I also use sunscreen daily but it is mostly for long-term effects (anti-aging). Chad just washes his face with some budget cleanser from the dollarstore and has decent skin.

Is skincare cope?

Yes
I made a thread about it
You can read it if you want, but I think you have the intellectual capacity to understand yourself

Skin looks more "alive", don't know how to explain it. I started using exfoliant at the same time.

I use a brand called Bulldog

Yes, just wash your face with a soap cleanser that has 95% alcohol in it and stop using sunscreen - see how good your skin becomes in 5 years.

Stupid post.

Every fucking cleanser that i've ever used breaks me out always, especially on my forehead. Only using water lessens my breakouts but of course I still get acne, just cleaning it worsens it. Sunscreen and something to wipe it off, and moisturizer seem like the only useful things.

Most of it is a cope, only the strong shit works

But saying that, if you use something like retin a you need to moisturise to counteract the dry/faking skin, so maybe the most skin care is just there to supplement stronger/prescription stuff

Why would I stop using sunscreen?

Stuff like TCA peel and microneedling is legit, ie expensive stuff.

I dont know how some people claim to wash their faces with only water, or their hair with no shampoo. My skin looks dirty if I don't use anything to wash it, and My hair looks greasy and without volume if I don't shampoo it.

I see. Well if You find a way to explain it in the future please quote me.

I've started using Cerave moisturiser a while ago. Never have used moisturiser before, but Now when quarantine started I began using tretinoin and My skin was shedding like crazy, several areas were scaly and red, so I had to Buy it to get ir back to normal.

Idk it's better for me because less acne. But I agree on shampoo my hair gets greasy without it.

Well it is cope if the rest of ur face is abominable and requires facial reconstruction.
As for it working, my skin has noticeably improved a lot but like everything your results are limited by your genes.

No he doesn't, or at least the male models don't. Watch this:

Or this:

90% of visible aging is caused from sun exposure, how could using daily spf be a cope?
