which skincare products should I get

[Axhar1]

right now using tret & hydroq, soon gonna take the month off hydroq cycle. Will start oral minox for eyebrows and eyelashes which will probably shred my collagen too
Now I want to incorporate other items in my skincare routine to improve overall appearance

here's options
1) glycolic acid toner
goal: even out skintone and get rid of farmers tan on arms
2) kojic acid
goal: even out skintone and get rid of farmers tan on arms
3) niacinamide (idk)
goal: more youthful collagen skin
4) vit C serum
goal: youthful collagen skin + getting rid of dark circles
5) caffeine serum
goal: getting rid of dark circles

dark circles are bluish/purple caused by thin skin though
which ones should I get from here, is VIT C cope or valid?

Nigga why do u look so much like an AI that pfp the name color and the check mark

I literally rolled past ur thread 3 times and was convinced it was some forum announcement until I saw it wasn’t

 

[Gabrrr]

for skin whitening go for kojic acid and for dark circles or vitamin c or caffeine, also, get some facial soap and cream with sun protection

Vitamin C is not cope and plays well with Tret. Vitamin c in the morning and Tret at night makes my skin look and feel great. Just get a decent quality serum, I use the Vanicream one because my skin is sensitive.

AHAs (azelaic acid, glycolic/lactic acid) also play well with Tret. Don’t have much personal experience with these though. BHAs and Tret will also make your skin very soft and smooth but watch out for irritation. I use the low percentage sensitive skin stridex pads once or twice every 7-12 days.

whats the diff between ahas and bhas? i prctically got 0 knowledge on exfoliants
ill get vit C, combined with tret should be mogger indeed
is tret an exfoliant though? some sources say it acts like one

Oh no u misunderstood dude, I was just curious about your progress so far, was not criticizing you jfl.......what I wanted to know was if after using hydroquinone (4% I believe) and tret for 3-4 months, did u notice any whitening on ur skin?? And if yes, did u use these both only on your face?

yes both on face, nothing smv changeable for whitening but tretinoin obviously improved skin texture

Hmm disappointing, not even one shade lighter?

well ofc I got "lighter" (I was already light) but I didnt get "paler". To become "pale" you need IV glutathione elsewise nothing works. But then again it's only a 3 month cycle I dont expect anything till 1 year passes

 

[FaceandBBC]

Carnivore diet and beef tallow is all you need for skin care.

beef tallow alternatives? cant find anything good here

 

[itzyaboyJJ]

Oral minox won’t shred your collagen, not even topical will as long as it doesn’t touch the rest of your skin.

Naih I don't want to vampiremaxx jfl, Id be happy with a 2 shade lightening/whitening (whichever one it is)......keep me updated dude if u get any further results
