I’m new to skincare so honestly I don’t know what I’m doing😭

So I popped what I appeared to be a zit and applied alcohol and hydrogen peroxide to possible avoid an infection. Is there a reason the area around where I popped it became discolored?

Hi

So I was gifted the Kiehls eye cream (with avocado one), a few years ago and I used the product back then and enjoyed it, however, it got rotated out of my routine. The other day I picked it up and used it again without giving expiry a single thought.

Should I stop using the cream and invest in a new one or am I good to go?

Hello, I’m a graduate student currently studying Business Administration at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea. I am conducting this survey as part of my role as a student researcher in my university’s academic research team, and my primary goal is to analyze the factors contributing to the global success of Korean skincare products.

To complete my research, I’m conducting a study on the behavior of international consumers who use Korean skincare products. The survey consists of 13 quick questions and, based on my own timed test, it takes exactly 57 seconds to complete! (Seriously, I promise!)

In particular, I need the valuable insights of international consumers who have experience using Korean skincare products. Your input will greatly help me analyze how Korean beauty has gained popularity globally and what makes it resonate with consumers.

All information collected through this survey will be used solely for academic purposes as part of my university dissertation. This survey is in no way related to money or commercial interests—it is purely for my dissertation research.

I’m sincerely asking for your help.

Your kind participation will bring me one step closer to completing my dissertation and contributing meaningful insights to this field of study.

Thank you so much in advance for your time and support—it truly means a lot!

Has anyone tried the silk'n LED face mask? I am interested in purchasing, especially since they are selling at costco and at a significantly lower price than other masks and it includes red, blue, mixed and near infrared light. Is there a better mask on the market? Please feel free to share your experience!

For about 2 months now my (25f) skin has been terrible. Especially around my chin. I’m getting big painful pustules that take weeks to heal and I feel like I wake up every day with a new one or several. I’ve been trying to change my skincare but nothing seems to be helping and I find conflicting information so I’m not sure what to do. This is the worst my skin has ever been and I can’t figure out why. I will put my skincare routine in the comments and hopefully, someone can help me

I have a burn scar on my stomach from a pan (wearing a crop top while cooking, bad idea lol). What product would be good to minimize the appearance?

Can anyone help me please?! I took spearmint capsules for 7-8 weeks, then I stopped as recommended. I have had around 6-8 weeks break from taking them now. My question is: Do I return to taking them again for 8 weeks, then have a break, then continue to take them again? Or are they a one-time, maximum 8 weeks, supplement?

I can't seem to find any answers other than "don't take for more than 8 weeks consecutively, due to possible liver damage"

I’ve used AHA BHA Cleansing wipes with grapefruit and they work wonders on helping get rid of my acne but I don’t like how the wipes feel, they’re too abrasive. I was wondering if there’s a good AHA BHA Cleanser out there.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Have you used any that work well?

I currently use Anua BHA with quercetinol cleanser but I’m not sure if that’s actually good? It also doesn’t have AHA.

And I have Perfect Whip Acne and Medicated but that’s just BHA.

Can I use the cleansers with BHA and AHA every day?

i keep getting neck acne, is there any routines to clear it up?

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask what your experiences with and knowledge of milk of magnesia on the skin are?

I stumbled across it on the internet as a teenager, and it was the only thing that mattified my oily skin. I used it for a few years and never had any problems. Then I discovered that it alters/interacts with the skin's pH and that it drastically shifts the skin's pH to an alkaline environment. So I stopped using it and only used it when I went out in the evening, when I really wanted to have matte skin all evening long. To this day, it is the only product that mattifies my skin for several hours.

As far as I know, there is only one study or at least something medical about acne and milk of magnesia from 1975. That's it, as far as I know. Are there any other studies, research and medical reports on this?

What are your experiences with milk of magnesia on the skin? Mine have always been positive so far, but I'm wondering - should I expect negative long-term effects at some point if I were to start again? And if I use a thin layer of milk of magnesia as a final step before sunscreen, could that possibly reduce the effectiveness of my sunscreen? Of course, I would let everything fully absorb and dry in first.

Perhaps this could be a catch-all for magnesia milk and skin. Thank you all!

Can I use this as lotion if I rinse in the Shower

I need to fix my skin barrier , acne breakouts and I have combo and sensitive skin. I am looking for a affordable cleanser and moisturizer. Ive tried elf hydration line and skin barrier byoma. I love the spf from that elf line. I use a makeup balm. I feel like nothing works anymore. F29

I recently finished accutane and after months of not having any serums in my routine(only very gentle washes, thick moisturiser , and SPF) I'd like to know how to approach a good skincare routine from here. My skin changed a lot, before I used to focus my skincare products based on what would get rid of my acne. However, now I have clear skin! Such a good thing, but my skin is dry , dull , and I think lacks elasticity, wich makes my wrinkles aparent. I'd like to know what people use on the daily that actually made a change!

I switched out my Neutrogena sunscreen with LRP’s Anthelios sunscreen and have been noticing these white bits flaking off which Neutrogena never did. Anyone else experience this with LRP sunscreen?

Hey. I hate the way these white-ish scars look and have been there for a while with no sign of shrinkage or change. Is there anything I can do to fix my skin?

Only thing really bothering me right now, any techniques or product recommendations?

Anyone find a cheaper version of Frownies that works similarly?
