Lactic acid really is the GOAT

homies with oily skin whats your routine?

It’s essentially the process of removing dead skin cells off the surface of your skin/pores. It helps prevent dry patches of flaky skin on your face and helps minimize clogged pores, which helps prevent breakouts

Fam do you have any knowledge of bakuchiol? I was reading an article a couple weeks ago about the hottest new skincare ingredients and they were saying that bakuchiol basically functions the same as retinol but isn’t as harsh and better for sensitive skin. I’ve been wanting to try retinol but am terrified of potential purging period lol

Idk much about bakuchiol — ive always sticked to retinols. Baluchiol looks legit, but IMO I would reccomend BHA if you’re lookin for an anti-acne solution and are afraid of the purging process.

i needa get on this s*** no cap

Hmmm, ok thanks. I already have a BHA exfoliator I use in my routine, was moreso looking at retinol to help with some forehead lines/light scarring in addition to my vitamin C serum more than for acne removal

Gonna cop a vitamin c serum and Paula’s BHA soon.

Rn just use cerave cleanser and moisturizing cream. Also have this Aesop exfoliatiant that works pretty well but it’s mad expensive so prob not gonna re up when I’m out

If you want clear skin all you gotta do is eat clean, take cold no warmer than lukeworm showers, and drink water

S***ty diet = breakouts
Hot showers = breakouts

Leave this thread now

TBH go for it but usually for me things listed as an “alternative” are never as good as the real thing (differin or tretinoin)

Purge is worth it, I never get acne anymore! It’s not as bad as ppl make it out to be. Short term suffering for long term happiness !

Been using that Aztec Clay for the past week. Works great.

You'll break out the first day you use it but that's because it's digging out all of the dirt and s*** in your pores. Keep rolling with it and your skin clears up and gets smooth in no time

cetaphil, aveeno moisturizer, and drink mad water

dassss it

Good sunscreen for a dark skin dude?

im kinda on that path of oil and alcohol free products, but i do need to drink more water than i already do

bar soap.

washcloth.

done.

these clearacil wetpads everyday keep my skin smooth af

recommend me products that are good to treat acne. Like give me the names of them

I'm on a tight budget at the moment, so I'm going to keep my skincare minimal.

Two cleansers on rotation.
A toner that my friend gave me.
I still need to buy a new moisturizer because I ran out.
Sunscreen.

That's all. I won't be that picky either since I can only do so much with a limited budget.

Help, my forehead dry and sorry of scaly to the touch, how do I fix this?

Question, how exactly should I store the 100% L-Ascorbic acid from TO? Also, how much should I apply? I've just been using a scoop of the tiny spoon they include and there is some tingling but I haven't had any bad reactions.

Lackin on my night routine

not going to bad though

1/4 - 1/2 scoop

A lot of ppl seem to be mixing it with hyaluronic acid or some type of toner. Sounds like a great idea to do

Storing it in on your bathroom counter is fine

you white or black?
