apply all over alar baseCan u apply it on the side of the nose?
Yes, I use it almost every daywould i be able to take it 5 times a week for school?
Looks like a highschool girl's notebook but useless since my nose is normalBy no means is this medical advice. Even though the risks are relatively low, everyone is different and some people may respond to this differently than others (although as I said, the majority should be fine).
"Wait, have you had a nose job?",
two girls that I met at a casino asked me as I got talking to them.
I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that because, although I knew that this method works, I did not realize, until then, just how much my nose has ascended thanks to it.
Hence,
I present to you, by far, one of the most underrated looksmaxes on this forum.
The reason why I'm making an updated version is not only due to what I've said above, but also because I have learned a lot more on this topic since I've made the original thread.

Hydrocortisone Info & Proper Usage Preserving Your HPA Axis Quick Word on Retinoids (see spoiler) My Progress & Testimonials
Hydrocortisone Info:
I have already talked about this in the first thread, but I will repeat it anyways in a concise way:
Hydrocortisone (HC) is a topical corticosteroid (again, no, not the "scary" anabolic/androgenic steroid for any giga high inhibcels) used to treat inflammation, redness, swelling, etc.
One of its side effects is thinning of skin, which is exactly why it is so effective when it comes to shrinking your nose.
Potential Side Effects of 1% Hydrocortisone (uncommon, mild):
- Skin atrophy (1)
- Rosacea-like eruptions (1)
If you experience any of these, take a break or hop off for good.
Proper Usage of Hydrocortisone:
Apply two pea-sized drops of 1% hydrocortisone cream onto your nose and spread evenly around the cartilage, including the bottom of the nose. I recommend you do not go above the tip of the nose and onto the nose bridge, as we do not want skin thinning there, as it can make the dorsa more prominent. Rub the cream in thoroughly, after which, remove any excess HC from around the nose, but do keep a layer of it on the desired area for about five minutes, then take that off as well. After a few minutes, if not straight away, water may start leeching out of the top of your nose, which is technically a good thing, so just keep wiping it off, that should persist to up to 15 minutes. The effects of hydrocortisone should last for up to an entire day.
Hydrocortisone Regimen:
Get your body used to it. First, apply the cream for two weeks straight, once a day, no matter what. Results most likely won't be very significant from the very first time you apply it.
After that is done, only apply it when you need your nose to shrink, such as when you're going out.
Hydrocortisone's Effects on Your HPA Axis:
If you want to know exactly what you HPA axis is, go look it up. In short terms, it is a system of glands that regulates your stress response and involves the following organs:
Some people have asked me things along the lines of "but xnj, what about you HPA axis, won't that get fucked with while you're on it?".
So here is the answer to this question:
Hydrocortisone raises cortisol. However, one may think that it does not do it to an extent, especially in such low, almost negligible dosages, where it has some sort of effect on the rest of your body, right? Wrong. After prolonged use, your body will feel the slight change and will adapt to it, potentially causing you a bit of trouble.
Preserving Your HPA Axis:Since HC raises your cortisol, we need something that lowers it. Here is where Ashwagandha comes into play. You know how people claim it has "testosterone-boosting" effects? Well that is the case because it lowers your cortisol (which is what can stagnate test production, hence the claims).
Take 500-800mg (depending on your brand's dosage per pill) right before you apply the cream. You can keep doing that for about 8 weeks, after which I suggest you take a 4-week break from ashwagandha, whilst also slightly lowering your HC usage. After that, you can resume just as usual.
Since I've mentioned it in my first thread, I will not be giving any in-depth advice on retinoids in this thread, as all you need to do to make your nose shrink from them, is follow their usual regimens. All I'm going to say is that it does shrink the nose in most cases, however not all skin complexions/conditions are predisposed to said shrinkage. But whether to use it or not - is up to you. Take a dermatologist's advice, or at the very least, find reputable threads here if you do want to use it (I'm on about general usage btw, not exclusively for the nose).

yeahwould i be able to take it 5 times a week for school?
nah, keep itJust started Accutane, should I stop using hydrocortisone while on it? Follow this guide and use it mostly between 6-7 times a week w 600mg Ashwaghanda every day.
its the lighting, look at shadows at lateral commissureswow even ur lips shrinked
0 need to go above 1% for most people unless 1% doesn’t work for them (in which case, then, corticosteroids may not be their thing in general)Can i use 2.5% cream or what do you think is it too strong
yeahWould an ointment like this work?
excessive, 1% hc is ideal strengthWould mometasone furoate 0.1% cream give similar results
what the fuck does this even meanLooks like a highschool girl's notebook but useless since my nose is normal
Ive been using momate for a week straight tho 3x a day seen no results or atleast i think so and also no side effects. So why would hydrocortisone work? Before you ask yeah my nose works for this methodexcessive, 1% hc is ideal strength
wym by that last part?Ive been using momate for a week straight tho 3x a day seen no results or atleast i think so and also no side effects. So why would hydrocortisone work? Before you ask yeah my nose works for this method
Forget about that i was being a retardwym by that last part?
those colorful notes with 20 sticky notes and markerswhat the fuck does this even mean![]()
bump was about to ask the samedoes it also work with 0,5%? because where im from any higher you need a persciption for
i could only buy a 0.5% cream but i still worked very wellBy no means is this medical advice. Even though the risks are relatively low, everyone is different and some people may respond to this differently than others (although as I said, the majority should be fine).

it works too just use more and a bit longermight be a stupid question, does 0.5% do the same trick? should i possibly apply it more often?
does it also work with 0,5%? because where im from any higher you need a persciption for
bump was about to ask the same
could do. try it, hc is cheap anyways.might be a stupid question, does 0.5% do the same trick? should i possibly apply it more often?
5-15min then wipeShould I wipe the hydrocortisone off after 5min of applying or just leave it on?
does 0.5 work sincw my country doesnt sell 1% with no prescriptionBy no means is this medical advice. Even though the risks are relatively low, everyone is different and some people may respond to this differently than others (although as I said, the majority should be fine).

I recommend you do not go above the tip of the nose and onto the nose bridge, as we do not want skin thinning there, as it can make the dorsa more prominent. Rub the cream in thoroughly, after which, remove any excess HC from around the nose, but do keep a layer of it on the desired area for about five minutes, then take that off as well. After a few minutes, if not straight away, water may start leeching out of the top of your nose, which is technically a good thing, so just keep wiping it off, that should persist to up to 15 minutes. The effects of hydrocortisone should last for up to an entire day.
Hydrocortisone Regimen:
Get your body used to it. First, apply the cream for two weeks straight, once a day, no matter what. Results most likely won't be very significant from the very first time you apply it.
After that is done, only apply it when you need your nose to shrink, such as when you're going out.
Hydrocortisone's Effects on Your HPA Axis:
If you want to know exactly what you HPA axis is, go look it up. In short terms, it is a system of glands that regulates your stress response and involves the following organs:
Some people have asked me things along the lines of "but xnj, what about you HPA axis, won't that get fucked with while you're on it?".
So here is the answer to this question:
Hydrocortisone raises cortisol. However, one may think that it does not do it to an extent, especially in such low, almost negligible dosages, where it has some sort of effect on the rest of your body, right? Wrong. After prolonged use, your body will feel the slight change and will adapt to it, potentially causing you a bit of trouble.
Preserving Your HPA Axis:Since HC raises your cortisol, we need something that lowers it. Here is where Ashwagandha comes into play. You know how people claim it has "testosterone-boosting" effects? Well that is the case because it lowers your cortisol (which is what can stagnate test production, hence the claims).
Take 500-800mg (depending on your brand's dosage per pill) right before you apply the cream. You can keep doing that for about 8 weeks, after which I suggest you take a 4-week break from ashwagandha, whilst also slightly lowering your HC usage. After that, you can resume just as usual.
Since I've mentioned it in my first thread, I will not be giving any in-depth advice on retinoids in this thread, as all you need to do to make your nose shrink from them, is follow their usual regimens. All I'm going to say is that it does shrink the nose in most cases, however not all skin complexions/conditions are predisposed to said shrinkage. But whether to use it or not - is up to you. Take a dermatologist's advice, or at the very least, find reputable threads here if you do want to use it (I'm on about general usage btw, not exclusively for the nose).

I might not have 2 weeks full access of tret but i have a brand new tube of hydro. also what are some other looksmaxxes i can do with them i have left over? plz and thx
If your ratios are ideal dont touch it!I wanna attempt this but I feel I have an ideal nose for a black dude

the whole point was to use both if you can, as they work in synergyidk if people still view this daily but what would work better, i have access to hydrocortisone and tret (my mom has some perscribed tret left over and I took that shiz jfl) sorry if i sound like an iqlet but which one would work better? I might not have 2 weeks full access of tret but i have a brand new tube of hydro. also what are some other looksmaxxes i can do with them i have left over? plz and thx

theres a reason why whenever someone gets rhino (or any plastic surgery), they usually tend to try and make the features they’re working on more european. big noses are objectively a massive failo. i could go way deeper into why there is no such thing as race-adjusted ideals, but that’s a whole other topicI wanna attempt this but I feel I have an ideal nose for a black dude
man, hydrocortisone would not do that. any scary shit shown ln the internet is like ALWAYS from way stronger corticosteroids, and even then - are rare cases.I can't be stupid to think this could cause skin atrophy and telangiectasia long term right?
I don't really need this to begin with but maybe more bulbous noses are less suseptible to skin atrophy![]()
what are your thoughts on Triamcincline AcetonideBy no means is this medical advice. Even though the risks are relatively low, everyone is different and some people may respond to this differently than others (although as I said, the majority should be fine).
"Wait, have you had a nose job?",
two girls that I met at a casino asked me as I got talking to them.
I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that because, although I knew that this method works, I did not realize, until then, just how much my nose has ascended thanks to it.
Hence,
I present to you, by far, one of the most underrated looksmaxes on this forum.
The reason why I'm making an updated version is not only due to what I've said above, but also because I have learned a lot more on this topic since I've made the original thread.

Hydrocortisone Info:
I have already talked about this in the first thread, but I will repeat it anyways in a concise way:
Hydrocortisone (HC) is a topical corticosteroid (again, no, not the "scary" anabolic/androgenic steroid for any giga high inhibcels) used to treat inflammation, redness, swelling, etc.
One of its side effects is thinning of skin, which is exactly why it is so effective when it comes to shrinking your nose.
Potential Side Effects of 1% Hydrocortisone (uncommon, mild):
- Skin atrophy (1)
- Rosacea-like eruptions (1)
If you experience any of these, take a break or hop off for good.
