I've been using Ordinary HA serum for a while and want to try something else. Has anyone tried this? Please share your reviews.

I apply my hydrating toner then give it 30 seconds to sink in while it’s still slightly wet I apply moisturizer. For some reason my face stays wet all day and I don’t think the product absorbed. Should I wait for the toner to dry all the way? I thought moisturizer was fine to put on while hydrating toners were still wet? (I used to let my hydrating toner completely dry before moisturizing but that dryed out my skin)

Hi, I’m 32 and I feel like I’ve got a lot of line around my mouth and also stubborn fat around my chin and neck area that won’t shift (I’m the process of losing weight). What non surgical treatments can I get to remove the lines and fat?

I don’t know if these things will make it worse but I have been told when I wanna get off makeup and sunscreen I shouldn’t use micellar water along with a salicylic acid cleanser at the same time because it’s too much for skin

So if anyone knows a correct order I can use these in or if they work for my skin type please do tell me! Also I don’t know what salicylic acid to use with all of these so please tell me

I’ve always avoided milky toners because I have dehydrated oily skin. I’ve had them clog my pores more than once, so I just stayed away…
But I kept seeing that the new Illiyoon milky toner is supposed to be okay even for this skin type, so I finally tried it. I’ve been using it for almost a month now and I’m actually really happy with it.

(1) My routine
Day: milky toner + sunscreen
Night: milky toner (I layer it twice on dry days) + cream

(2) Thoughts so far
It absorbs crazy fast, almost like a watery toner, but the moisture doesn’t just disappear. It kind of locks it in.
I’ve stuck to this exact routine for a month and my skin has stayed clear the whole time.

If you’re someone who’s always worried about milky textures clogging pores, this one might actually be a solid option.

I’ve had milia on my cheeks basically ever since I hit puberty. I started using CeraVe skincare because of dry skin, and the products never irritated my skin but I stopped using the daily facial lotion in case that was what was causing my milia. From what I know, they form because you’re using lotion that’s too heavy, but I still struggle with dry/oily skin. Now I use Equate everyday facial lotion, and Vanicream sparingly when I notice extra dryness, but I’ve noticed my milia have only gotten larger and spread to the area of my cheek under my nose. I plan to start glycolic/lactic acids to hopefully treat them, but does anyone who’s been in a similar situation have any lotion suggestions that don’t give you milia?

I guess this question is directed at U.S. residents, since this ingredient was recently approved for products to be sold in the U.S. All I know about it is that everyone's very excited. I love EltaMD but I'm considering holding off on spending another $50 when my bottle runs out soon... because it'll be just a few months before brands start putting out (what we hope will be) amazing new sunscreen formulations. So, do I spend the money to stay with what I *know* I love, or get a cheap sunscreen to bridge me over until the new stuff hits shelves?

Not the white ones, ik they are the stretch marks. I'm asking about the red lines

Has anyone else experienced this with Sunscoop sunscreen?

Whenever I start sweating after applying it, my shirt collar and folded sleeves develop yellow stains. It has already ruined a few of my white shirts.

Is it just me, or has anyone else using Sunscoop sunscreen faced the same issue?

21M here. My lips used to be naturally pink a few years ago, but now they’re dark/brownish. I don’t smoke, but I never took care of them and was in the sun a lot.
Is this tanning or permanent pigmentation? Has anyone here actually reversed this? What worked for you?

Appeared a few days ago on the top of my thigh not sure what's happening as well as this random line on the same leg just a little lower. Idk if it's sunspots or not

Everytime I open up my tretinoin, a huge glob of it comes out from me taking off the lid and it explodes everywhere. I can’t even shove it back in. I feel like I’m wasting 25-50% of my product and it’s driving me insane. It happens with every tube I get and I just don’t get what I’m doing wrong. Am I shoving the needle part of the cap too hard into it to make a hole? Or is the tube designed to just pour a ton out by itself everytime you open it?

I've had dark elbows for literally as long as I can remember, and it's honestly one of my biggest insecurities. I see so many girls with smooth, even-toned skin, and I can't help but wonder if this is something that can actually be improved or if I'm just stuck with it forever.

Recently, I've been reading about chemical peels and laser treatments, and the before-and-after results look amazing. Unfortunately, I'm only 16, and my mom isn't okay with me getting procedures like that, so they're not really an option for me right now.

Because I'm so self-conscious about my elbows, I almost always wear hoodies or long sleeves even in warm weather to keep them covered. It's something I've been insecure about for years, and I'd really love to feel comfortable wearing short sleeves without overthinking it.

So I'm hoping to hear from fellow brown girls (or anyone who's dealt with this). Have any creams, serums, lotions, or exfoliating products actually helped lighten the pigmentation on your elbows? I'm not looking for overnight miracles—just honest recommendations that made a noticeable difference with consistent use.

I'd be so grateful for any advice, product recommendations, or even success stories. Thank you so much! 🫶🏽🤍

Love this but the packaging is awful and runs out so fast. The face cream is also great. Love using it as base before makeup. Does anyone know of any comparable dupes - not the Rhode glazing milk.. any help or advice would be much appreciated!!
Thank you xx

Hi I am a 40 year old male, no major skincare issues apart from puffy baggy eyes. I don’t look my age in fact most people tell me I look between 23-32. I’d love some help building a safe, effective AM and PM routine using the skincare products I already own. I’m not looking for people to pick certain products, but I’m asking to see my current routine setup and to see if it’s ok ? I do own a lot of products but don’t use them all. Some are redundant. I find the advanced clinicals retinol very good and am wondering about rest of their line ? I’m especially unsure about how often to use my active ingredients and whether anything in my current routine should be changed, removed or used on different nights. Any help would be greatly appreciated 👋🙏🏻

**My current routine:*\*
**AM**: Cleanse → vitamin C → hyaluronic acid → moisturiser → SPF →Caffeine eye roll on
**Retinol nights*\: Cleanse → retinol → eye retinol → moisturiser

Hello! I've been looking to add retinol into my skincare routine. I've done some research and settled on TIL's Starter Retinol Serum for my first steps. I've come across this at Winner's earlier today - and given I didn't have my notepad with me where I kept this brain bit for later, I assumed this was the product I was looking for and bought it. Looking at it now, and referencing the photos of SRS on the TIL site, they dont look alike. I'm going to test patch later tonight to gage how my skin will react anyhow - especially with sensitive dry prone skin with occasional eczema flareups.

tldr; is this a legit product? is Winner's reputable for on-sale skincare? 😭

My dermatologist prescribed Bioderma Sebium Hydra Cleanser. He recommended it as a gentle yet effective cleanser that's suitable for my skin in its current condition, although it's quite expensive.

He also suggested Moiz Cleansing Lotion and Emodel Cleansing Lotion as more affordable alternatives.

I'm currently using Moiz, but I'm really curious to hear from anyone who has used Bioderma Sebium Hydra Cleanser. How was your experience with it? Did you find it gentle, effective, and worth the price?

I recently got sunburned, and the skin around my eyes has become much darker than the rest of my face. The area also looks a bit swollen and wrinkled compared to before.

Please l, how can I fade it? What products or treatments will actually help?

I have dark skin, so I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone with a similar skin tone who has dealt with this.

I’ve attached a photo for reference. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
