Re: Exfoliation, how much and what kind
I use different kinds of exfoliation. One of them is using this serum at night applied under my moisturizer and nothing else. I wake up the next morning, rinse my face and my skin glows. I don't need to use this very often but when I do it really works nicely. Find it on amazon. 1-oz $21. QRxLabs has a store there. QRxLabs 15% Glycolic Acid Renewal Serum – Exfoliating AHA Serum

Glycolic acid vs azelaic acid anyone?
Hello everyone, I am often on this subreddit and and have learned so much. I have used glycolic acid for KP bumps but never on my face yet, but I have also been hearing about the wonders of azelaic acid in skincare too. Any thoughts or recommendations of what would be better? Personally, I have dry skin and produce little sebum 10 years after taking accutane (I do not have acne, I was wrongly diagnosed by a derm when it was KP I was picking as a child). EDIT: I know that gaining moisture as well as actually keeping it in is important. I use vanicream cleanser, a vit c with hyaluronic acid, smoxin peptide cuz I’m 30, a panthenol + ceramide serum alternated with polyglutamic acid, and ceramide moisturizer. Este laude eye serum. Skinceuticals 50 SPF. My face is still tight no matter two years of this, and the KP is still all over which the accutane obviously exacerbated by drying my skin out even more. At this point I’m really wondering what I can at least do about the tiny uniform bumps on my face since it seems like my skin will never be moisturized enough. submitted by /u/Outontheparkway to r/SkinbarrierLovers [link] [comments]

Why have I slept on Glycolic Acid?!
I have been using Tretinoin for about a year. Started on .025, bumped up to .05 a couple months ago. My skin at 38 looks good, but not necessarily wowing anyone. I think I’ve noticed minuscule improvement on Tret, but I’m dedicated to it for the long game. I used it in combination with vit C serum until that bottle ran out in February and I didn’t replace it because I didn’t notice any benefit whatsoever. Enter Glycolic Acid. I bought it on a whim at Target. I showered and decided to use it on my legs (I’m in the process of laser hair removal), but decided to use it on the rest of my body including my heels and my face. You guys. Instant difference. I’m glowing. Is this a joke? Am I being punked by the skin fairies? My skin is radiating the most beautifully it ever has. I also pumiced my heels, wiped them with glycolic acid, and then rubbed with eucerin. My feet are velvet. If you haven’t tried glycolic acid, you must! If you’ve been using it, but have not posted about it everyday—why?? ;) submitted by /u/snippysnap1 to r/tretinoin [link] [comments]

Sharing my underarm whitening journey 🤩
Context: For years my UA isn’t maitim naman but there are spots talaga na parang there’s hyperpigmentation. Sometimes i’d get irritation bumps rin from waxing/shaving. Sorry i don’t have a before but trust na it isn’t as pretty as now 💕 Products i used: 1)The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner - For starters, use this only once a week to build tolerance. People tend to say na “pwede naman 2x a week” but our UA kase is a sensitive part of our body. Better to be safe than sorry. When i noticed the slight improvements already after 4 weeks, i shifted my routine to 2x a week. Make sure to use this after you’re fresh from the shower and your UA is dry talaga! Tho in general Glycolic Acid is Hydrophilic or water-loving, we don’t want that in this case!! Contact with water increases its permeability. And our kili-kili is very sensitive. We don’t want the harsher version of it when applied to our UA. 2) Moisturizer - yes guys!! Di lang mukha minomoisturize 🤩 i apply moisturizer everyday for my UA. As simple as possible na walang other Acids sa ingredients. I use the Cetaphil Moisturizer cream. On days where i use Glycolic Acid, I make sure that the Glycolic Acid is complete dry before applying moisturizer. 3) Vitamin C - After almost 4 months of consistent Glycolic Acid use, i really noticed the improvements but i wanted an even more bright kili-kili (Maarte ako eh HAHAHAHA) so i incorporated Vitamin C to my routine 🥹 Make sure you use a gentler Vitamin C and not the pure one. I use the Equalberry Vitamin C serum . I started using it 1x a week only kase even though the equalberry is deemed gentler, i was being careful parin as to not irritate the UA. After 4 weeks i shifted it to 2x a week. On the Third month, when i already saw my desired results, i only use it once a week nalang Make sure you don’t use it the same day as you use your actives such as Glycolic Acid 4) Niacinamide - Gotta get rid of that bumps!! I use Niacinamide together with Vitamin C. Not a common brand for UA but it worked wonders for me. I used the Beauty of Joseon Propolis + Niacinamide. It got rid of the bumps talaga. Vitamin C + Niacinamide + lock it in with a moisturizer 5) Celimax Vita-A Retinal shot - game changer!! Since i already achieved white underarms, there are stubborn spots talaga sa Kili-Killers natin who can’t seem to go away evenly HUHU so i use this once a week to spot correct. After 3 months of consistent use, my Kili-Kili is as kinis as it is now 💗 6) Deodorant - i don’t use one everyday but the Belo Intense Whitening is really hiyang sa UA ko. I don’t use it everyday since i moisturize naman and the Glycolic Acid really does help with BO. I use it lang whenever i go out as to not perspire. When you’ve already achieved the White Underarm you desire, Maintenance nalang girlies! pls don’t overdo it! Our Kili-Kili is very sensitive. Tapper usage to once a week nalang except for the moisturizer which is everyday talaga. Hope this helps 🤩 Update: I wax my UA probs once every 2 weeks. I use sugar wax from Hunnywax ⭐️ I avoid using products 2 days after waxing (yes, even deo haha). For questions on ingrown hairs, Glycolic acid is already a chemical exfoliant which helps with it. Don’t do mechanical exfoliation such as rubbing/scrubbing if you’re using actives such as Glycolic/Salicylic Acid. It’ll just irritate your UA. Planning on investing din sa Diode laser soon YAY. Also, invest din on a good diet, hydration, and add supplements such as Omega 3 and Vit C, antioxidants to improve skin turnover. I achieved this UA for almost a year din. i was also being careful on the products i introduced that’s why the frequency is fewer as compared to others. I avoided introducing another product immediately as much as possible to not irritate my underarms. Some of the products i used might not work for others but i think it’s worth sharing parin 🥹 skin care in general is a trial and error process to see what works for you. patience is a virtue and it was so worth it!

Salicylic acid vs glycolic acid
Why do I have these raised spots?? Are they closed comedones?? Pls help me get rid of them and formulate a routine for texture free skin. Products that I have: Moisturizer: bioderma atoderm creme every night, skipped in the am routine Cleanser: minimalist aquaporin cleanser, dermaco Kojic acid cleanser (occasionally) Serums: minimalist 10% niacinamide, reequil 2% salicylic acid I use niacinamide and salicylic acid cleanser once every week alternately. Treatment: reequil skin radiance creme every other day (don't use it on the day I use serum) Toner: minimalist glycolic acid toner (just bought it , use it on the underarms, elbows and knees Up until now since I didn't really go out frequently I used to do skincare only at night and occasionally used any serum I have just bought the bioderma moisturizer and haven't opened it yet, currently using reequil hyaluronic acid one. Should I switch salicylic acid with glycolic acid? I have heard that it's kinda harsh on the face so I am currently only using it on my body. Pls give feedbacks on my routine!! What should I do better?? edit: I recently tried minimalist marula oil cleanser and didn't use a regular cleanser afterwards, I think it might have triggered these. submitted by /u/EmployerFew2777 to r/indianbeautyyappers [link] [comments]

All glycolic acids i used as 17f
So i used a total of 3 glycolic acids in my entire life. i have oily skin which easily gets closed comedones , not acne tho kabhi kabhi hojati hay hormonal acne. 1) The ordnary this one is really good i used it in small amounts i was not consistent with on my face but i used it on my underarms and my elbows for a month or so. My underarms visbly got really brtter and brighter but the pigmentation was still there a little bit (do lmk if theres a way to remove it) i could t ise it consistently on my face my cousin(26) used it on her face before marriage and her face really changed got really BRIGHT and Glowy. but she also used Raw milk. But overall this one is nice but it too expensive for me to restock 2) Urapra (🤢) Ok so there was so much hype online and reviews online but i think Urapra Glycolic acid/toner is just straight up trash. No major results (no results at all) and not just me but two of my friends and my male cousin(22) too said there was no noticeable results and it is all just marketing. 3) LOREAAAAL (🩷) ok this one is my personal favourite and i still use it its been more than 6 months now. At first i thought it was awein but my sister startes using it. me and her are the same shade but in like one month she got 2-3 shades lighter like im not even joking so everyone in my family was really surprised. also plus loreal wala serum has fragnance so we had doubts but it left us all in shock. 5-6 months ago i bought one for myself too and have been using it consistently. My skin is more prone to tan and all but i have visibly gotten 1 shade lighter than pehle. like idk if lighter is the right term but i would say 'Brighter' like chehra khiltawa hay. This was is also like 1700-2000 i think pretty affordable. still using it and got rid of my chin hyperpigmentation. submitted by /u/lbzhg to r/PakistaniSkincare [link] [comments]

Vitamin C or Glycolic acid for glowing, less dull skin and tan lightening? And is Minimalist effective for this? (Read body text please)
So I've been researching a lot for lightening and preventing further tan on my face and found out that these two ingredients help a lot. I usually have dry/combination skin and I get occasional mild white heads on my nose and chin but Salicylic acid face wash has helped me in that. Which ingredient would be better or more effective? And should I get a serum and/or some other product? Please do recommend a good and effective brand. Also, if you can I'd really appreciate a good sunscreen suggestion, but since I don't go out in the sun a lot I don't wanna get something too expensive (Max Rs.600 per 100gm) submitted by /u/Idrk_mate to r/IndianSkincareAddicts [link] [comments]

Please give me tips / advice on how to improve visible pores on my dry, dehydrated
Hello all! 😊 29 yo, Female here. Visible pores have been a constant skin concern of mine ever since. Just looking to see if there’s still any way I can do to improve the appearance of my pores. I’m not really oily or acne prone. My skin is more on the dry, dehydrated side and sensitive (hence the redness). My current skincare routine includes: Cetaphil pink cleanser, TO glycolic acid (every 2-3 days) Hada Labo, TO Alpha Arbutin, Biore/Skin Aqua sunscreen, Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream. I don’t know if my skincare routine is enough for my skincare concern. Or if I should introduce other ingredients / products to help address it. I’ve been researching and found that Niacinamide serum can help with visible pores. Here are some products that I’ve been considering, would love to hear your thoughts on this (if it worked for you or not): - Dermorepubliq 5% Niacinamide + HA serum - Frankly Closer Pore Reducing Serum - Dr. Sensitive Niacinamide + Salicylic Acid - Skin1004 Poremizing Fresh Ampoule Any other tips/advice/suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Tret, glycolic acid, estrogen cream, OH MY!
So I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate these products into my routine. My goals are: tret to encourage turnover, GA to exfoliate so the turnover can SHINE, and estrogen cream to plump all the collagen up. But I’m having a bit of trouble figuring it all out. Here’s my plan, tell me what you think. Every AM is exactly the same. Wash with water, timeless Vitamin C on damp skin, wait 5-10 minutes, HaruHaru black rice sunscreen moisturizer. PM is where I’m stumbling. M, Th - micellar water, gel cleanser, light layer of cerave night cream, tret (no moisturizer over based on the recommendation from another Reddit post) T, F - micellar water, gel cleanser, TO GA, cerave night cream W, Sa - micellar water, gel cleanser, estrogen cream, cerave night cream Sunday we rest. Thought? Also do you feel like the cerave night cream might be too occlusive for good absorption of the tret? I can’t raw dog it and put it on bare skin, it just gets too irritated.

Spent 30k+ On Lasers/Skincare - Here are My Hacks and Takeaways
Hi guys! *For title it should be Lasers/Skincare/Beauty Hacks *I have tan skin so lasers are a bit complicated due to risk of hyperpigmentation I.e. IPL not mentioned DISCLAIMER: PLEASE double check this with the science, before/afters, own skin and goals, and research articles. I'm not a dermatologist but a majority of my friend circle are physicians and we all do this anyhow before trying anything. I don't have time to cite articles etc and this is just MY experience SO I thought after spending so much money and buying all the overhyped products I should share what worked for me to reduce my skincare regimen and allow me to be makeup free for work. So I've been deep into skincare for a long time and I wanted to officially share it as a lot of my friends asked me to. We don't gatekeep here and I thought Reddit would be the best place. My background: I'm into digital portraits and it requires an understanding of good ratios of the face. I'm also into deep diving into skincare hacks like all of us. Here's what I think works off the top of my head. Procedures Ultraclear + Coring: forget ponytail facelifts, lip lifts, belphs, skinpinch, brow lifts, etc until you try this first. A good tech can get you the results you want. Ask to core where you want max lift. Make sure they pass with all the levels. It's painful so use your own numbing cream (I think some Russian brands are stronger available online), numb for a long time, and opt for the laughing gas or whatever. Make sure to have them use eye shields for your eyes. Have them core in the direction of the lift you want. Ask for a map of how they did it. You'll want 2-3 over a year to get the full lift you want. Nothing supersedes this procedure. For healing: 10% vinegar soaks + ointment + Benev exosomes + Alastin skin nectar. Hydroquinone to prevent spots from forming. Moxi Level 3: It works REALLY well but it's a baby compared to Ultraclear. Make sure to try level 3 for maximum lift. You can do a series of 3 if you're not ready for Ultraclear. Fontana 4D: It also works REALLY well and can contour your cheeks skin the buccal fat removal. Moxi Level3/Fontana 4D def made me hot again after 20lb weight loss causing signs of aging before my wedding. Again do a series of 3 for max results. Ultraclear did the most though, I would do all 3 until I die or go broke. BBL Laser: It works and makes you look like you have foundation on (and gets rid of under eye darkness) but because of techs fears of hyperpigmentation (a real fear) it's hard to find someone to do it. PRF/EZGEL: My under eyes looked better but also the swelling stretched out the skin so it also looks worse? Not worth it. PRF or PRP is useless, the gel is the only thing worth trying. Laser Hair Removal: Make sure they are using the newest machine that is practically painless, find a center that does a full body membership it's cheaper, you'll need 8-12 sessions. The painless one is worth it just get it done all over at Morpheus: painful and melts fat stay away. I did it 3 times, it got rid of my beautiful under eye fat pads, it slimmed my buccal fat, and it got rid of some acne though. It's not worth it due to pain and fat melting and lack of skin tightness effects it so claims. Katalyst EMS Suit >> Emsculpt: They cost the same and both work but you can keep Katalyst for life. Just use settings on abs/butt and get up to level 400, you can thank me later! I had Emsculpt 5X on butt and AB's, it works temporary, now we own. 2 Katalyst suits and they make sure fit whenever we want and honestly just as fast. Emsella: Amazing for sex drive and preventing or helping with prolapse issues! Also works for urinary issues post kids :). Do 6 sessions for prevention and amazing sex. Coolsculpt: Bullshit. Can burn skin btw. HIFU: Melts fat. But it works:) so use in the right areas. J Plasma: feels like lightening bolts attacking skin and limited outcome, stay away. PDO Threads: Forget it, painful, invasive, temporary. Omnilux Redlight Mask: Get the MENS version. It works. Jovs: it breaks apparently l but I'm gonna try it and update yall later. Also curious about Amiro devices given what they say they do/tech they use. ZIIP Halo + Silver Gel >Nuface: It works better than all the other main home microcurrent devices I've tried (nuface, medicube, 2 others on amazon) get the silver serum as daily easy skincare. Forget the other ones. Things on my list: Sofwave, Emface (per reviews sounds useless?), Syllifirm, Profound, comment and lmk I'll try it if it sounds safe and effective. Injections: Botox: Prevent wrinkles (but tbh this is BS until you have a baby line forming), get rid of wrinkles, shrinks muscle. What I've liked: TMJ/Jaw Slimming (30-50U per side), TRAP TOX (amazing and makes your neck longer), LIP FLIP, NOSE TIP, BROW LIFT (only do the tail of the brow not the whole brow) and PLATYSMA (prevents face sagging and actually works, prob the most underrated and important area for Botox!). Filler: Deep Lasers ("lift" = volume) >> Sculptra (natural body makes volume) >> Slow Down on Fillers >> Injector >> Price/Injectable. Fly to the right person LA, Miami, or New York. Make sure the area they inject, they do often. Treat multiple areas BUT WITH 1/3 THE ACTUAL DOSE you want and go again twice. This prevents the botched look. Dissolve overfilled lips, it hurts, but it's worth it. ALA/Glutathione/Vit C: Shrinks pores and evens out skin tone. Make sure to add ALA for max pore shrinking. It also helps regulate sugar. You can also opt for liposomal. Go to a reputable IV center and make sure to have labs to get ALA. Peels/SkinCare: 30%+ Glycolic Acid On Body - Fast way to clear scars and evens out skin tone. Start low and increase slowly to prevent a burn. TCA Peel - Amazing for anti-aging tbh. But go to a spa and have them do it (face or full body) because it's more serious. Musely Spot Cream - Amazing stuff if you're lazy like me and don't like to do 100 things. Combines all the stuff you want for face skincare. Apostrophe Triple Cream for Rosacea - Top 3 ingredients that work for rosacea in 1 bottle. Also look into low dose naltrexone. Also moxi or ultraclear helps. Benev Exosomes + Microneedling: Use for scars and face/body with a home microneedling pen (max the number of needles Dr Pen is good). Calecium Exosomes + Microneedling: A godsend for hair growth. Retinol Gel .1% + Stack With Hydration: get it prescribed. Level up to max %, look up how to layer with coconut oil/moisturizers/Benev to prevent the ugly phase (breakouts, dry skin). Don't need if have Musely spot cream or alternate days. Clindamycin/Benzyl Peroxide Compound Cream: Get it prescribed and store it fridge now. It's the only thing that reliably clears up my acne overnight (I've tried dozens of acne products over 16 years). Alastin Skin Nectar: My main moisturizer post laser. * Wanted to add for Daily I use Prakti Maha mask because it works like under eye filler almost when you stack it on and gets rid of my acne without extra stuff about 60-70% of the time. I combine with Clarins double serum or snail stuff just depends. Also considering plated exosomes. Ourself Lip Plumping: If you don't want lip filler or just want to maximize lip size try this brand it's from the makers of one of the actual fillers and it works. Minoxidil>Grandelash>Latisse: Latisse darks eyelids /under eyes and lose eye fat so stay away!! It's so hard to get that fat back!! Use castor oil for eyelash durability and oral minoxidil for eyelash growth. Pills: Oral Minoxidil: Max your eyelashes and hair volume Low Dose Accutane: Freeze eggs before doing this. Derm will prescribe for chronic acne especially if on back etc. It will also help reduce size of tip of nose if issues with rosacea or thick skin. Gets rid of acne but horrible side effects even at a low dose. Spirinolactone: NOT FOR ME - will give me headache, dehydration, makes me dumb because I'm so dehydrated, worse breakout for months, also just not worth taking this pill. It may work for others? Eyes: Lumify (duh) Hair: Nanoplastia > Keratin Straightening > KBond20 > Olaplex > Dyson Teeth: SMILE Whitening (in office dental procedure) INSANE will get you white instantly Request for double frequency teeth cleanings Purple Toothpaste = Safe Alternative to Home Teeth Whitening that works better Boka Nanohhydroxy Toothpaste (so you don't loose enamel) Toothbrush with Water Flosser Combined (another lazy girl hack) Therabreath (contains xylitol known to prevent cavities) Mind Hacks: TDCS headband :) works for insomnia, works for mood I'll copy past all my comments into above later I use Elemind headband + Calm Sleep Powder for sleep after having sleep issues - (don't want to take meds, Benadryl is very bad for long term health and linked to increased dementia risk) Multivitamin: Make sure it has 5 methylfolate not "folic" acid. Try pure encapsulations or if you want to eat food-source multi try TEND prenatal bar chocolate flavor. Vit D: Try to get level to 60-90 it's suppose to help with a lot of things including depression!! Alzheimer prevention! Even used by oncologists to decrese cancer risk!! I take 50k unit every week and recheck my level after a month to make sure it's atleast 80. I used to have depression. Astaxanthin: 2000x more potent antioxidant than Vit C. It can give you an orangish glow if you overuse or if you're aiming for that! I used to use Vit c and other antioxidants. Omega 3/DHA (fish derived not algae!): Take it or eat fish it's good for you. DHA 1000mg I've been using for 10 years and it makes me smarter and remember more for exams etc. Silica Drops + Collagen 10G Daily w Hylaronic Acid + 100G Protein Daily > Nutrafol > Biotin/Hair Nail Vitamins: yes the standard female nutrafol works, I prefer Minodixil it's faster and better for me and less big pills lol. 1G Water A Day - Eat good food, drink water. Take collagen, eat protein 100G daily, fat 50G daily. Otherwise this is useless. ADD POTASSIUM (prime powder packets) to SLIM FACE SWELLING. Add gua sha or lymph suction drainage also to help. Sauna/Ice Water on Face also works. Low Fat is a FAD - Hit 50G fat a day - obv is you need to optimize weight lower calories and cut inflammatory food like most non vegetable carbs. You can take a food allergy test also and optimize. For example no tomato skins, no onions for us. Exercise (weights good for bones: BUT for brain benefits it's only with aerobic workouts!): increased bdnf and prevents depression also improved blood flow from skin - look into the research and thank me later - you need to burn 1200cal a week to hit this Dairy Does Cause Breakouts - cut it out and see if there's a change for acne Colustrum: ARMRA works better than others but they all work. It's good for gut health aka good for skin. Seed Probiotic: the best strains here. Rosacea/Autoimmune Skin Stuff: Look into low dose naltrexone and astaxanthin. Autoimmune issues cause the face to look puffy! PCOS/Hunger Cravings: Inositol 6G powder or gummy inositol/myoinositol Vitamin: Tend Prenatal Bar (hate daily pills) Gummy CoQ10 200mg Tru Niagen NAD+ (gives me energy) OM matcha mushroom powder (this flavor specifically has a blend that makes me happy/laughing next day, I use when stressed) Silica Drops (makes my hair shiny, nails stronger within weeks) Zinc Picolinate 30mg (if sick or acne) Fisetin (or Qualia monthly) gets rid of dead cells I just feel good when I take it Vital Protein Collagen/Hylaronic Acid Dessicated Beef Liver or Shilajit (micronutrients) Multivitamin: Pure Encapsulations ONE I don't take pills daily except multivitamin or depending on my aim. But these are what work for me and what I've read that makes sense and I've tried without side effects and some benefit x Inpsitol is a miracle that everyone should know about it'll legit make you less anxious too Deodorant: Chlorella Liquid (removes body odor) > Native > Certaindri. want to try the weekly devices out there that actually stop sweating but weighing risks. Native covers me all day smelling good and I used to sweat through EVERYTHING. Nails: basic - sally hansen hard as nails clear (drop 3-4 magenta drops of any brand in for a natural pink nail look) - silica drops make nails tough af - only do RUSSIAN manicures they are magic thank me later SUN: the sun is your enemy for skincare, it's time to be aware of this all the time! Legally UV tint the max of your front car window (there's a way to uv protect without darkening so it's legal). Always wear long sleeves or a hat. Cover face with hand when walking and unprotected. I use supergoop clear sun stick because I'm lazy and it's a stick and doesn't have white caste. I'm sure there's better ones but this is the best clear stick I found. The powder makeup ones are BS and don't actually protect you. A HAT + Long Sleeves >> Weight Loss: I have a chubby face if my BMI is above 19 genetically. Find the BMI you need for optimizing your face. I drink all my water before eating. I drink black decaf with monk fruit (stevia is not as safe, Splenda is bad news) instead of lattes. I put all my food on a salad instead of rice. I don't eat grain carbs because it makes me bloated. I eat spinach daily because it has highest potassium (reduces face bloating). I try to have have less than 1.5G salt daily. I also make sure there is IODINE in my salt for my thyroid (pink salt is causing iodine deficiencies and thus thyroid issues!). No dairy because it gives me acne (try cashew milk 25 cal). I hit 100G protein via NATURAL NO POWDER sources. Then I sleep by getting my fat intake (50g) and veggies cooked with seasoning I like or whatever I want to eat (kind of a baby Intermittant fast but more lax). If I'm craving sweets I eat frozen fruit and add fake honey (monk fruit sweetened avail sprouts). If you made it this far, the most important thing is to be at a healthy weight, eat right, drink water, no alcohol (I've heard from friends: Passion flower extract "anxiety" > IV NAD (addiction)), no smoking(I've heard from friends: Chantix > Wellbutrin> Nicotine Patch > Tapering Nicotine Vape ), no all nighters (if insomnia look above TDCS headband elemind > Calm Sleep Powder > Sublingual Melatonin). This is all I could think of but I've tried a lot feel free to DM me. I've also deep dived into fertility and dementia stuff for friends/family! If you want reccs DM! You can fact check me but I research this stuff just like we all do so you'll find out or realize this is likely the consensus. submitted by /u/Mindmaster04129 to r/30PlusSkinCare [link] [comments]

Chemist's Review: Luxe Organix Retinol + Gluta Youthful Radiance Whitening Serum Lotion
Naisipan kong dumaan sa Watsons ngayong araw para bumili ng lotion, dahil paubos na yung ginagamit ko. Nakita ko tong lotion na 'to ng Luxe Organix na naka B1T1 for Php 405, kaya naisipan kong subukan. 2 variant yung binili ko, itong Retinol + Gluta, tsaka yung Niacinamide + Arbutin. TLDR: May microfoaming, malakas ang fragrance, heavier skin feel kumpara sa ibang serum lotions sa Market, mali-mali ang IL, mislabeled dahil imbes na retinol, Retinyl Palmitate ang laman base sa IL. Unahin muna nating tingnan ang packaging. Sa unang tingin, di nalalayo material sa packaging ng mga serum lotion ng Vaseline. Tho, yung sa Vaseline, rounded yung tabas ng seal ng tube sa both sides, samantalang itong sa LO ay pointed. Sa itsura naman mismo ng laman, off-white na medyo madilaw yung kulay ng lotion. Medyo clumpy din yung itsura pagkalabas nito sa tube, at madali ding mag-break yung emulsion upon skin contact. Malakas yung fragrance nya na dominated ng floral notes. Unang naisip ko nga nung naamoy ko e amoy poon, dahil sa sobrang floral. Medyo matagal ipahid sa balat, kumpara sa ibang serum lotion na nasubukan ko na. Naka-observe din ako ng microfoaming during application nitong lotion. Ang microfoaming ito yung nagkakaroon ng puti-puting streaks sa balat habang pinapahid ang isang product, kadalasan mga emulsion gaya ng lotion at creams. Ang microfoaming ay dulot ng pagkaka-trap ng air sa product habang ipinapahid sa balat. Kung ikukumpara ko ito sa ibang serum lotion na nagamit ko na (Vaseline Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion, Smoochkins Nia-Arbutin Nano White Serum Lotion), ito yung pinaka heavy ang skin feel. Hindi ko masyadong na-feel yung pagka serum lotion. And lastly naka-experience din ako ng pamumula at pantal sa braso ko after ko gamitin itong lotion na ito. Tumungo naman tayo sa ingredient list. Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Myristate, Fragrance, C15-19 Alkane, Stearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Glutathione, Polysorbate 20, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Ceramide NP, Mannitol, Pentylene Glycol, CI19140, Phosphatidylcholine, Retinyl Palmitate, Cholesterol, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Chloride, Polyglyceryl-10, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Ethylhexylglycerin Hindi na talaga nawala ang mga errors sa IL ng mga local products. Di yata talaga uso ipa-check man lang sa regulatory personnel ang IL na ilalagay sa final layout ng packaging bago ang ipa-mass printing. Para sa product na ito, hindi Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol ang tamang INCI name, kung hindi Cetearyl Alcohol. Next, Polyglyceryl-10, what? Incomplete yung ingredient name. Ang daming Polyglyceryl-10 esters na nag eexist, wag nyo na kami paghulain. (Side Note: Ang Polyglyceryl-10 esters ay kadalasang ginagamit as non-ionic emulsifier sa cosmetics.). Pangalawa kong napansin, CI19140. Ang CI19140 ay isang dye na kilala din bilang Tartrazine Yellow or FD&C Yellow #5. Ito yung nagbigay ng medyo madilaw na kulay sa lotion na ito. Konektado ito sa kasunod kong punto. Ikatlo, bakit Retinyl Palmitate ang nakalista dito sa IL? Kaya nyo ba nilagyan ng Yellow #5 ang lotion na ito para magmukhang may retinol, kasi nakakapagdulot ng paninilaw sa mga product ang retinol kapag ihinalo ito? Ngayon, ano ba ang problema kung retinyl palmitate ang nakalagay, imbes na retinol? Ito kasi yun: maliban sa obvious na mislabelling sa product na ito, mas mababa ang potency ng retinyl palmitate kaysa sa retinol. Sa buong retinoid family, ang mga retinyl esters kagaya ng retinyl palmitate ang may pinakamababang potency, dahil kailangan pa nito ng isang extra conversion step (retinyl palmitate -> retinol). Tandaan, ang mga retinoids, kailangang ma-convert into retinoic acid para ma-activate ang retinoic acid receptors natin sa balat at makuha ang benefits. Retinyl esters -> Retinol -> Retinaldehyde -> Retinoic Acid Kada conversion step, bumababa ang potency ng isang retinoid, kaya sa kaso ng retinyl palmitate, na isang retinyl ester, eto ang may pinakamababang potency. May peptides din pala itong lotion na ito: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 at Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11. Ang acetyl tetrapeptide-9 ay isang signaling peptide na nagbibigay ng message sa fibroblasts sa ating dermis na magproduce ng collagen (specifically Collagen Type 1) at proteoglycans, na mahalaga para mapanatili ang structure at mapanatiling tight (hindi sagging) ang balat natin. Nakakatulong din itong mabawasan ang appearance ng fine lines sa mukha, dahil na rin sa stimulation ng collagen at proteoglycan production. Kung ang dermis ang target ng acetyl tetrapeptide-9, ang epidermis naman ang target ng acetyl tetrapeptide-11. Kagaya ng acetyl tetrapeptide-9, signaling peptide din ito na nagbibigay ng mensahe sa epidermis na mag-synthesize o magproduce ng Syndecan-1 at Collagen XVII. Kapag mataas ang dalawang ito sa balat, nag-iimprove ang elasticity ng balat. Karamihan ng mga nabanggit na benepisyo ng dalawang peptides na ito ay base pa lamang sa mga in-vitro studies na naisagawa na. Wala pang gaanong in-vivo clinical studies na lumabas kaya medyo skeptical pa din ako sa mga peptides na ito. Tumungo naman tayo lastly sa product claims. Retinol + Gluta Whitening Serum Lotion Lightening Firming Hydrating 24 hr Supple Smooth 3X Peptide Youth Repair + Hyaluronic Bright + Ceramide Glow Unang claim pa lang, sablay na. Wala namang retinol tong lotion na 'to. Pinaglololoko ako nitong LO e. Sa claim na lightening at whitening, medyo duda ako. Mukhang glutathione lang ang pwedeng masabi ng brand na ito na skin lightening ingredient. Pero duda ako sa efficacy ng glutathione na makapagpa lighten ng skin topically. Maraming limitations yung mga published studies tungkol sa efficacy ng topically applied gluta, gaya ng mababang bilang ng participants sa studies at sobrang iksi na study period. Sa claim na firming, mukhang inilagay ito gawa nung mga peptides. Sa hydrating claim, meron namang hydrating ingredients (glycerin, hyaluronic acid derivatives, olive oil, Plukenetia Volubilis oil, tsaka Ceramide NP). Same din dun sa mga sumunod na claims, dahil sa presence ng mga nabanggit na ingredients. Final words: Hindi ako masaya sa nabili kong lotion na 'to. Hindi kasing lightweight at fast absorbing nung iba kong nasubukan na serum lotions. Amoy poon yung fragrance. May microfoaming during application. Nagkapantal ako sa braso. Mali-mali ang IL. Pero yung pinaka disappointing sa lotion na 'to e yung claim na may retinol daw, pero retinyl palmitate lang ang nasa ingredient list. May paglalagay pa ng yellow dye para magmukhang may retinol. Napakalaking red flag para sa akin ang pagmi-mislabel ng product. Ayun lang. Salamat sa pagbabasa. At laging maging mapanuri sa mga binibili at balak nating gamitin na products. submitted by /u/skincare_chemist19 to r/beautytalkph [link] [comments]

The Best & Worst Skincare Products (review)
Hi everyone! I posted this on another sub not too long ago and because of the positive reaction I wanted to share it with you all. Hope you like it. Little bit about me/my skin: Im 25F and I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin. My skin is especially sensitive to fragrance, citrus and floral essential oils. Because of this I’ve become a bit of a skincare nerd and an obsessive ingredients list reader. I definitely still have a lot to learn about skincare but I hope this list helps some of you! Especially my fellow sensitive skin skincare addicts. I tried to keep the reviews very short and straight forward, but if you want me to expand on any products let me know! 1. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer 30 SPF - 3/10 Pros: Fragrance free and very moisturizing. Cons: Broke me out and burned my eyes Best for: dry skin. 2. Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser - 0/10 Pros: literally nothing. Cons: I don’t like the smell, it broke me out, didn’t remove my makeup well. 3. Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser - 6/10 Pros: Clean ingredients list. Cons: Stripping/drying and expensive. For who? Oily skin or those that like to feel squeaky clean. 4. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen 60 SPF (American) - 3/10 Pros: Doesn’t leave a white cast. Cons: Greasy, broke me out, stung my eyes. Bottom Line: Stick to the European version. 5. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen 50+ SPF (European) - 9/10 Pros: Doesn’t leave a white cast, reasonably priced. Cons: texture is a little too runny for my liking. Bonus: LRP donates to skin cancer research. 6. Jordan Samuel Hydrate Facial Serum - 0/10 Pros: Couldn’t try long enough to say. Cons: Gave me a bright red burning skin reaction. Bottom Line: Looks like they changed their formula (for good reason obvi) so I can’t speak for the new version. For who? Those who want an excuse to cancel dinner plans. 7. Mario Badescu Rose Facial Spray - 0/10 Pros: Cheap. Cons: Mist comes out too strong, I don’t like the smell, contains fragrance, citronellol, geraniol and colorants. Bottom Line: Thank goodness it was a gift, because I won’t be buying. 8. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser - 5/10 Pros: Unscented, affordable. Cons: Made my skin itch and left a residue. Bottom Line: I won’t repurchase. 9. A313 Vitamin A Pommade - 10/10 Pros: My pimples reduced, skin texture improved (after two weeks). Thick vasaline texture that locks in the vitamin A. Cons: Slight metallic smell Bottom Line: Worth the hype! I use 2x a week max, alternating with a salicylic acid oil. 10. Youth to the People Superberry Dream Cleansing Balm - 3/10 Pros: Great ingredient list, interesting extracts. Cons: Smells like waxy crayons, crumbly texture that doesn’t melt well into the skin, left a waxy feeling behind. Bottom Line: I’ve tried better. 11. Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer - 2/10 Pros: I liked her organic Vermont farm story and the light gel cream texture. Cons: strong fragrance, contains skin irritants like Alcohol, limonene, citral, citronellol, linalool and orange peel extract. Bottom Line: Don’t use if you have sensitive skin. There is a sunburn warning on the side of the box because it contains AHAs. 12. Saturday Skin Carrot + Niacinamide Moisturizing Cream - 6/10 Pros: Hydrating thick gel cream. Cons: Smells so strong of silicone. Bottom Line: Bought it in Europe, loved it. Bought it in the US, smelled like straight up silicone. Different formula maybe? 13. Glossier Future Dew - 0/10 Pros: Cute packaging. Cons: Made me look like a greasy pizza, broke me out and don’t like the smell. 14. Versed Sunday Morning Antioxidant Oil-Serum – 1/10 Pros: inexpensive. Cons: Does nothing. The biphase ends up looking gross and muddled after a while. 15. Murmure Bisou Clarifying Dry Oil – 10/10 Pros: Cleared my blackheads, sinks into the skin fast. Cons: Contains hazelnut oil so be careful if you have an allergy! Bottom Line: I use it about 2x a week at night (not on the same day as my retinol). My skin is always less red and bumpy in the AM. 16. Typology Glycolic Acid 10% - 3/10 Pros: Affordable (Typology is like the French version of the Ordinary). Cons: Broke me out, 10% glycolic acid is too strong for my skin. 17. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil – 9/10 Pros: Nice dry oil that soaks in quickly, love the smell (I only use this on my body so the fragrance doesn’t bother me). Cons: Wish it had a dropper or pump to make application less messy. Bottom Line: I put this all over my body after my shower and my skin feels baby soft. 18. Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen 36 SPF – 5/10 Pros: Good value for money. Cons: Broke me out, a little too oily. Bottom Line: They have changed the formula since I tried it so I cant speak for the new formulation. 19. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ - 7/10 Pros: Super soothing and healing. Cons: clogged my pores (avoid if you have acne or milia prone skin). Bottom Line: I would buy again for my eyelid dermatitis that I get every winter For who? Dry, irritated skin. 20. SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Serum - 8/10 Pros: Brightened and evened my skin tone. Cons: So expensive it hurts! Oxidized at around the 4 month mark. Smells slightly unpleasant. Bottom Line: One of the most effective formulas for vitamin c that Ive tried. Keep it away from light and to close the bottle tightly so it doesn’t oxidize as quickly. 21. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-fine Mist – 1/10 Pros: Cute packaging. Cons: Broke me out, overpowering candy fragrance, didn’t hydrate. 22. Pillow Talk Derm Major Fade Flash Mask – 0/10 Pros: I can’t speak to the effectiveness of the product because my skin couldn’t handle it. Cons: Instantly burned my face into a red mess. Bottom Line: 15% glycolic acid was too much for my skin. Make sure to always patch test new products. 23. The Outset Nourishing Squalane Daily Moisturizer – 7/10 Pros: Clean ingredients list, nice light texture. Cons: Not hydrating enough for my skin. Bottom Line: If you have sensitive skin and like a lightweight moisturizer it might be worth a try. 24. Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy – 10/10 Pros: Heals, hydrates/seals in moisture. Cons: Packaging is kinda ugly. Bottom Line: Cult classic for good reason. I’m team Aquaphor over vasaline every day. 25. Skinfix Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream – 10/10 Pros: Super hydrating and nourishing. Nice cream gel texture. Cons: none. Bottom Line: My sensitive skin loves this moisturizer. Even though I have acne prone skin I still prefer their normal triple lipid over their gel version. 26. Saturday Skin Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask – 4/10 Pros: slightly brightening. Cons: Strong smell, contains citrus oils, feels quite sticky. 27. Youth to the People Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream – 3/10 Pros: nice light airy texture. Cons: Has fragrance and limonene. Didn’t do much. Bottom Line: Last time I was at sephora I did notice that the cream is no longer a light green color, so I think they changed the formula. 28. Caudalie Beauty Elixir Face Mist – 0/10 Pros: None. Cons: Doesn’t smell great, does nothing, has alcohol, fragrance, rosemary oil, citral, linalool, citronellol…). Bottom Line: Outdated product imo. 29. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen 40 SPF – 5/10 Pros: Doesn’t leave a white cast. Cons: Expensive and broke me out. Feels very silicone heavy. like my skin was suffocating. Bottom Line: Sensitive acne prone skin beware. 30. U beauty The Plasma Lip Compound (Rose) – 0/10 Pros: Couldn’t keep it on my lips long enough. Cons: Smells so bad like straight up chemicals. Bottom Line: So disappointing because it was really expensive. 31. Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream – 7/10 Pros: Hydrating and plumping. Cons: Started to smell a little funny when I got halfway through the jar. 32. Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm – 8/10 Pros: Nice creamy texture that melts into the skin. Smells delicious and removes makeup well. Cons: Leaves a greasy film on my eyes Bottom Line: One of the few glow recipe products that I actually like. 33.

Bottom Line: Sensitive skin beware. 34. Typology Niacinamide 12% - 5/10 Pros: Inexpensive. Cons: 12% niacinamide is too strong for my skin. Bottom Line: studies show that your skin reacts best at a 4% concentration. I like to add a little into my moisturizer every so often to dilute it. 35. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – 3/10 Pros: Smells delicious (but has fragrance). Cons: Made my lips more dry. I don’t like having to scoop into a jar. Bottom Line: I don’t understand the hype of this product. 36. Clarins Lip Comfort Oil - 9/10 Pros: Not sticky, lasts a while and very shiny. Cons: Wish there was more color payoff and kinda pricey (not doir expensive but getting there). Bottom Line: My fav lip product to date. submitted by /u/Valuable-Moment973 to r/beauty [link] [comments]

Bottom Line: Looks like they changed their formula (for good reason obvi) so I can’t speak for the new version. For who? Those who want an excuse to cancel dinner plans. 7. Mario Badescu Rose Facial Spray - 0/10 Pros: Cheap. Cons: Mist comes out too strong, I don’t like the smell, contains fragrance, citronellol, geraniol and colorants. Bottom Line: Thank goodness it was a gift, because I won’t be buying. 8. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser - 5/10 Pros: Unscented, affordable. Cons: Made my skin itch and left a residue. Bottom Line: I won’t repurchase. 9. A313 Vitamin A Pommade - 10/10 Pros: My acne reduced, skin texture improved (after two weeks). Thick vasaline texture that locks in the vitamin A. Cons: Slight metallic smell Bottom Line: Worth the hype! I use 2x a week max, alternating with a salicylic acid oil. 10. Youth to the People Superberry Dream Cleansing Balm - 3/10 Pros: Great ingredient list, interesting extracts. Cons: Smells like waxy crayons, crumbly texture that doesn’t melt well into the skin, left a waxy feeling behind. Bottom Line: I’ve tried better. 11. Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer - 2/10 Pros: I liked her organic Vermont farm story and the light gel cream texture. Cons: strong fragrance, contains skin irritants like Alcohol, limonene, citral, citronellol, linalool and orange peel extract. Bottom Line: Don’t use if you have sensitive skin. There is a sunburn warning on the side of the box because it contains AHAs. 12. Saturday Skin Carrot + Niacinamide Moisturizing Cream - 6/10 Pros: Hydrating thick gel cream. Cons: Smells so strong of silicone. Bottom Line: Bought it in Europe, loved it. Bought it in the US, smelled like straight up silicone. Different formula maybe? 13. Glossier Future Dew - 0/10 Pros: Cute packaging. Cons: Made me look like a greasy pizza, broke me out and don’t like the smell. 14. Versed Sunday Morning Antioxidant Oil-Serum – 1/10 Pros: inexpensive. Cons: Does nothing. The biphase ends up looking gross and muddled after a while. 15. Murmure Bisou Clarifying Dry Oil – 10/10 Pros: Cleared my blackheads, sinks into the skin fast. Cons: Contains hazelnut oil so be careful if you have an allergy! Bottom Line: I use it about 2x a week at night (not on the same day as my retinol). My skin is always less red and bumpy in the AM. 16. Typology Glycolic Acid 10% - 3/10 Pros: Affordable (Typology is like the French version of the Ordinary). Cons: Broke me out, 10% glycolic acid is too strong for my skin. 17. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil – 9/10 Pros: Nice dry oil that soaks in quickly, love the smell (I only use this on my body so the fragrance doesn’t bother me). Cons: Wish it had a dropper or pump to make application less messy. Bottom Line: I put this all over my body after my shower and my skin feels baby soft. 18. Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen 36 SPF – 5/10 Pros: Good value for money. Cons: Broke me out, a little too oily. Bottom Line: They have changed the formula since I tried it so I cant speak for the new formulation. 19. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ - 7/10 Pros: Super soothing and healing. Cons: clogged my pores (avoid if you have acne or milia prone skin). Bottom Line: I would buy again for my eyelid dermatitis that I get every winter For who? Dry, irritated skin. 20. SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Serum - 8/10 Pros: Brightened and evened my skin tone. Cons: So expensive it hurts! Oxidized at around the 4 month mark. Smells slightly unpleasant. Bottom Line: One of the most effective formulas for vitamin c that Ive tried. Keep it away from light and to close the bottle tightly so it doesn’t oxidize as quickly. 21. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-fine Mist – 1/10 Pros: Cute packaging. Cons: Broke me out, overpowering candy fragrance, didn’t hydrate. 22. Pillow Talk Derm Major Fade Flash Mask – 0/10 Pros: I can’t speak to the effectiveness of the product because my skin couldn’t handle it. Cons: Instantly burned my face into a red mess.

The Outset Nourishing Squalane Daily Moisturizer – 7/10 Pros: Clean ingredients list, nice light texture. Cons: Not hydrating enough for my skin. Bottom Line: If you have sensitive skin and like a lightweight moisturizer it might be worth a try. 24. Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy – 10/10 Pros: Heals, hydrates/seals in moisture. Cons: Packaging is kinda ugly. Bottom Line: Cult classic for good reason. I’m team Aquaphor over vasaline every day. 25. Skinfix Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream – 10/10 Pros: Super hydrating and nourishing. Nice cream gel texture. Cons: none. Bottom Line: My sensitive skin loves this moisturizer. Even though I have acne prone skin I still prefer their normal triple lipid over their gel version. 26. Saturday Skin Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask – 4/10 Pros: slightly brightening. Cons: Strong smell, contains citrus oils, feels quite sticky. 27. Youth to the People Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream – 3/10 Pros: nice light airy texture. Cons: Has fragrance and limonene. Didn’t do much. Bottom Line: Last time I was at sephora I did notice that the cream is no longer a light green color, so I think they changed the formula. 28. Caudalie Beauty Elixir Face Mist – 0/10 Pros: None. Cons: Doesn’t smell great, does nothing, has alcohol, fragrance, rosemary oil, citral, linalool, citronellol…). Bottom Line: Outdated product imo. 29. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen 40 SPF – 5/10 Pros: Doesn’t leave a white cast. Cons: Expensive and broke me out.

Bottom Line: Sensitive skin beware. 34. Typology Niacinamide 12% - 5/10 Pros: Inexpensive. Cons: 12% niacinamide is too strong for my skin. Bottom Line: studies show that your skin reacts best at a 4% concentration. I like to add a little into my moisturizer every so often to dilute it. 35. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – 3/10 Pros: Smells delicious (but has fragrance). Cons: Made my lips more dry. I don’t like having to scoop into a jar. Bottom Line: I don’t understand the hype of this product. 36. Clarins Lip Comfort Oil - 9/10 Pros: Not sticky, lasts a while and very shiny.

Just turned 37, always working on acceptance
Routine: Infrequent use of TO Glycolic Acid and very limited occasional use of their AHA BHA Peeling Solution. Infrequent use of their Azelaic Acid and Hyaluronic Moisturizer. I add in their Rosehip Seed Oil and Agiraline to the moisturizer and apply all at the same time(I might be a heathen). Infrequent use of Tazarotene(I don't sandwich or apply anything other than this when I do use it) and Infrequent use of Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen. I'm really trying to be better about applying sunscreen consistently. I am quite the homebody, though. I always apply when I leave the house! Everything is so inconsistent because I struggle with executive function and easily lose track of time(waiting between applying different things rarely works). I don't use any cleanser, just water on a clean cotton washcloth. For a while, I was also using Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum I got it as a gift from my mom. I genuinely really liked it so I'm planning to purchase more. I usually am on top of my skincare regimen for a few days, then fall off for a few days, then get back to it, repeat. There are a few things I'm unhappy with like some volume loss under my eyes and some volume loss in my cheeks, but I don't think I'm prepared to pursue any injections at this time, maybe PRP/PRF someday? I am trying to learn to accept any signs of aging, though. Oh, and I also intermittently use my red light therapy box! Only makeup in these pics is a bit of mascara and a bit of brow pencil. I have never been very expressive which I'm sure helps a lot to limit expression lines. submitted by /u/LaceyBambola to r/30PlusSkinCare [link] [comments]

glycolic acid works!
idk ha, i started using glycolic acid on my pits ever since i’ve read about it being effective in reducing odor and hyperpigmentation and after one night of using it… i swear i noticed a difference! creams/serums usually never work for me. but i was so surprised talaga. i used it again today and i swear i see my pits lighten up gradually. i’ve used different creams for months and literally see no effect, tapos this one ilang beses lang ginamit noticeable na yung difference for me? ++ i went out with a thick knitted sweater without using deo (yung glycolic acid lang) tapos ang init pa sa labas. when i went home after 10hours i didn’t smell at all! is it crazy to say that 1-3 uses already made a difference? possible ba yun or am i delulu lang? what’s your experience with glycolic acid? submitted by /u/anonlovebug to r/beautytalkph [link] [comments]

Shout out to the pro tip from this sub! Adding a spray nozzle to my glycolic acid was a total game changer.
Work harder not harder. I started using the glycolic acid very recently, I noticed by spraying it I’m using less product but able to distributed more evenly! I used the nozzle from an empty bottle of d’alba spray serum. submitted by /u/MelonDusk to r/beauty [link] [comments]

[Before & After] 52 years old. One year’s progress after using Glycolic Acid consistently. It tret doesn’t work for you, you may want to consider GA for sun damage, wrinkles, and cleaning pores. Additional B&A photo in comment link.
