Great skin
please bro can u check dms
Good skin based curry
theoretically the simplest and most effective moisturizer is wetting your face and applying vaseline. do it at night
Does it not clog pores? I heard its bad for acne prone skin like mine
it’s different for everyone tbh. it’s too big to go in the pores so it just sits on top. if u don’t clean ur skin beforehand there’s a higher chance of acne
Clean as in with a cleanser?
yup, don’t use retinol or anything active under it, u will burn your face
So I can't use it with tretinoin?
ah shit i didn’t think about that. maybe one day tret, one day vaseline? i had thought of this primarily for accutane users but with alternation it could be incorporated with tret
What about a normal moisturiser like cerave?
would work too, but i’m the moisture wouldn’t last as long
Why is this shit so complicated jfl
ikr? took me years to learn all of this shit. honestly just use a simple moisturizer and baume b5 after that so:
When should I apply sunscreen and is tinted BB cream worth it(
Also you recommended azelaic acid how can I incorporate that. And what's the point of a balm b5
i’m the morning it’ll be
baume b5 (la roche posay) is an occlusive, which traps the moisture and prevents it from evaporating. i recommend 10% aza if you’re using tret, spot treatment in the morning just to help with the purging phase.
I thought you were black
niacinimide never rlly worked for me so i have a bud against it. and i do prefer aza over bha and aha. so it’s rlly up to you, compare prices and efficacy and what not. i’d say this is more effective than aza, but more harsh too.
Don't listen to that nigga
Who? @dannydipss
Nah actually listen to him but the vaseline stuff is bullshit
Why so?
Because it will clog the shit out of your pores even if your skin is wet
it’s different for everyone. literally anything can clog your pores if your skin doesn’t like it. the fact is, petrolatum molecules are literally too big to go into your pores, so it’s literally impossible that vaseline is comedogenic. it’s more so what you could trap underneath it.
Good to know, still a shitty choice to moisturize your skin
still a tried and true classic.
