ya I came back to it after looking for easier to buy alternatives lol

ill take my chances with amazon fakes 😪

My local skincare shop has the 55ml for 14 bucks

wtf

USA?

Nah Europeeeee

ofc, well in that case ya I recommend it a lot

bet,gonna tell you my thoughts when i cop,ty for the recc

After years of perioral dermatitis and hundreds of dollars spent on skincare this zinc calamine soap cleared my face up within a week, other zinc soap bars should work just fine too

I take a Zinc ZMA supplement aswell but zincy boys been on that since ktt1

Nice to hear
Don't forget a good sunscreen too, most essential item in your routine

EOFY sales

might level up for the fun of it, been sticking to:

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion
Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion

Solid lineup
Hada Labo goat tier

Def Pick up some lrp they are the only brand that works for me

Ayo your routine is near identical to mine

What to use for black dots on my nose

BHA but it’s a pretty strong chemical

Will my nose fall off or no?

no
start with a low percentage like that Paulas Choice 2% BHA Exfoliant someone listed 1x-2x a week

your nighttime routine should look like

cleanse
tone
bha exfoliator here
serum if you're feeling fancy
moisturize

another alt would be to find a serum with BHA's in it

really appreciate it man. I usually just cleanse and moisturize but gonna start doing this once I got the right products

you're welcome

this one is goated

also make sure you're using sunscreen in the mornings

Gonna get the ETUDE HOUSE one ghosting mentioned last page.

What do you recommend as far as morning routine? I just shower / wash my face with shampoo but i cant see that being good lol

Also does using day cream instead of night cream make a difference? Or should I also get one for nights

it just depends on your skin and any issues or things you want to fix with it tbh. I struggled with hyperpigmentation before so right now mine is

cleanse
tone
topicals faded serum
sunscreen

I don't struggle with it much anymore cause I use tretinoin every night and use a very strong exfoliant 1x a week now, but I do get spots here and then that leave dark marks so I just continue to keep this routine to keep my skin clear. before this I kept it simple and just used cerave's hyaulronic acid serum in place of the faded serum

I hope you mean you use an actual cleanser and that you don't wash your face with shampoo tho lol

ehhh depends on the product but not really. some night creams have retinoids in them which are extremely unstable to use during the day when they interact with the sun / UV rays so I wouldn't but i've used my night moisturizer during the day and vice versa sometimes

It's worth adding that Salicylic Acid(which is essentially the most popular form of BHA out there) is very effective among all users and that it'll probably save your skin
I still remember the first time I used TO's 2% Salicylic Acid Masque, my skin was shining like an IG filter

@thankmelater an alt option is using cerave salicylic acid cleanser, leave it on for 2-3 mins, wash it off, tone and moisturize or SPF if during the day. I do that every other day or so

Im a noobie but u cleanse and use an exfoliator same day?
