Brah can you summarize what the general products are and what they do (in short)?

Also I don't really understand when/why a guy would start doing all these things. I only wash my face with water and my skin looks great, a side from a few minor things which isn't really noticable or doesn't bother me. I am still pretty young though (25). Is all those products really gonna prevent or at least delay wrinkles?

keep doing your thing. check out my responses.

I have like ring of blood vessels and like like bruising 1 month on from getting hit in the face... It's pretty faded now but is this just scaring? IS THIS MY LIFE NOW?

Have you tried eating TV dinners with coleslaw?

Doing that right now, is it helping?

What do you recommend for acne scarring?

grow beard to cover bad skin crew


I use home made product of vitamin e cream mixed with olive oil, ACV and tea tree oil. It's cheap, natural and my moisturizer, acne reducer all in one (hopefully).

Amazon links to everything op?? Will rep.

my current skin care has slimmed down alot.
cetaphil lotion everyday (green top is a different ingrediant solution than the og blue, i prefer the og blue top)
scrub gloves couple times a week
olay dermabrasion like twice a month
biore strips like twice a month

i'd like to get back into taking care of my skin as im now 34 and need to start back prepping for antiaging again lol

So are you going to do a video or not OP?

I will deal with oily skin for the rest of my life, very conscious about having my face shiny any time of the day. Drink plenty of water and diet is in good check.

How do I get rid of the lines on my cheeks under my eyes? Sleep about 9 hrs a day and eat healthy already.

It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Of course he's not going to admit he's been trolled into spending hundreds, probably thousands, on all of these harsh chemicals.

I have indented scars on my face, I went to a skin specialist and he said they could do laser on me but it won't really make much of a difference. Is there really no treatment for this? My indents are not much just a small area

I still have acne at 28 years old

Also got blackheads

What do?

RIP thread

Op What are your thoughts on Retin-A?

Also what would be a good BEGINNER routine to start on.

This is my current routine.

Morning:
wash face - put on Moisturizer with SPF

Before bed:
Moisturizer and then put on Retin-A.


What else should I add?

you should use Retin A, unless you have some condition that interferes. It's like the most blatantly obvious thing to use with the most clinical evidence supporting it. At the VERY least use a real retinol cream at night.

Vit C once a month is useless. And that brand OP posted is not the best quality, as lurkolantern alluded to in his post. I used a few of the various top rated amazon brands. some are good, most arent. Real Vit C with ascorbic acid goes bad after a few months and most need to be refrigerated and the maker should make note of that on the label. No hate on OP, great thread, but these are the two most useful "actives" in skincare and should be used and used properly

skinceuticals (OG $120 vit c serum) has a patent on their combination and PH level. so if you get something cheaper, you want it to as closely mimic their formulation as possible (slightly diff PH to get around patent). a few amazon brands do that.you're on a bodybuilding site with a shirtless fit avatar. and yet think less of guys that spend 10 minutes keeping their skin healthy.

youre a fuking loser.those things arent stripping down oils excessively. over the counter face washes do that. physical exfoliant scrubs do that. which is why you use those 1-3x a week only. the chemical exfoliants dont do the same stripping and harm to skin. chemical peels do but they are used infrequently and INCREASE collagen production and REDUCE skin diseases and inflammation

your idea is right but you are confusing products and ingredients

you also are really confused about the way correlation and causation works.

oh god the *******ry

Is OP still answering questions?

I only get acne on my chin..the cystic kind. I think they have something to do with my keratin plugs. Because the only way they will go down is if the keratin plug comes out. I can touch any place on my face and never get acne, except for my chin. I'll touch it once and boom, there goes another cystic acne.

Wut do OP?

Also any mild regiment recommendations for my face? All I do is wash face, 2.5% benzyl peroxide then cetaphil lotion in morning and night

anyone know products for clogged pore.

None of that garbage does anything.

The only skin products that actually work are prescription retinoids (retin-A, tazorac, etc) and maybe high strength chemical peels. The junk that you have listed, is mostly placebo or just temporary moisturization. It does not do anything substantial.

Skin care "pro" LOL.

That wasn't my point it was another poster. I've been posting about the effects of diet on skin and how topical products are really just doing damage control.

Basically just outing OP as a fraud seeing as he claims to be a skin care expert but refuses to talk about skin care unless it involves $60 products from sephora.lol standing by for explanation.

No I only do it once a day, either night or morning. I don't use retin A because my routine is sufficient for me. The vitamin C isn't a critical thing for me to use, I just use it after I derma roll.
Yeah it means you have dry skin brah, moisturizer won't clog your pores, not moisturizing will since dry skin tells your body to produce more oil which in turn blocks your pores. Get clinique moisturizer gel, it will cure you for sure.
Good for you, doesn't mean you won't have chit skin when your grow up. Don't come and cry later
Retin A is mainly for scarring and is harsh af, hence why its prescription. I recommend retin a only if you are ageing badly or have lots of scars. Bha and aha are great for chemical exfoliation. Don't worry about vitamin c.
Nope, very easy. If drinking water lots and tea bags on it doesn't help, it might be genetic.
lol at you. Enjoy your lovely sides in few years.
BHA and AHA regularly.
yeah keep doing what you want to do, if you're going to judge a guy on taking care of his skin.
see a derm
Chemical exfoliation and derm roller
just google it
might be genetic, drink more water.
derm roller and peels and chemical exfoliation
chemical exfoliation
no
good for anti ageing, don't add anything with retin a
Chemical exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation
ok

i just drink water and flawless skin

What would you say is the most important part of your routine brah

i can't just pick one thing because if I take one out it ruins the routine.

Still I'd say the most important for me is chemical exfolation BHA AND AHA / Peels

give me the glow renewal formula. no but srs cba with everything you do. recommend me a good facial cleanser and mosturizer




EDIT: also my cheekbone area on both sides are red. it's not acne. is there anyway to fix this?

Paulas Choice has a legit Aus site, so I might order the BHA & AHA. How should I use these in conjunction with retin-a?

Use the BHA/AHA in the morning after cleansing and moisturize. Use the retin a at night because it thins your skin and makes it more susceptible to sun damage.

Clinique moisture surge is the goat moisturizer, cerave cleanser is good.
