This sub is a relaxed community to discuss skincare products and routines.

Do NOT ask us to diagnose your acne/skin condition or advise on how to treat it. This is not a dermatology clinic!

1. Please stay on topic!

We cover skincare from head to toe and everything in-between, including dandruff and ingrown hairs.

If you don't know what's wrong with your skin, i.e. you don't have a diagnosis, then don't post here. We're here to discuss products and common concerns like dryness, oiliness, wrinkles, discoloration, and other superficial things.

No fishing for compliments posts. (Examples: How does my skin look? Are my wrinkles that bad?)

Please see the wiki for more information.

2. Be kind to others, and to yourself.

Post titles, descriptions, and comments must not be self-deprecating, self-disparaging, or otherwise unkind in tone. Content implying requests for sympathy may also be removed.

Bigotry, personal attacks, racism, homophobia, and transphobia will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.

This rule is not to be confused with opinions you don't agree with. As long as it’s done in a respectful manner, we will allow it. No negative comments about the size of a collection or about finances.

3. No spam, self-promotion or referral codes.

No spamming your blog, website, business or social media. No surveys. Exceptions can be arranged prior for active members in our community if your blog/website/social relates to the topic at hand.

Absolutely NO referral/affiliate links or codes.

Do not repost removed or self-deleted content. This is a form of spam and is not allowed.

No AI/ChatGPT.

4. No playing doctor or requesting acne/medical advice.

Do not ask for a diagnosis/treatment advice for acne or other medical conditions. Do not diagnose acne/medical conditions. (Yes, asking "What is this?" is asking for a diagnosis!)

Do not go against what someone's doctor has told them and give your 2 cents. Do not ask us to second-guess your dermatologist's advice.

NO unsafe/dangerous recommendations or advice.

Please see the wiki for more information regarding this rule.

5. No MLM's. Period.

No promoting, shilling or recommending MLM products in this sub.

MLM (multi-level marketing) is a predatory practice that often targets women and those in vulnerable situations. r/Skincare_Addiction will not be a place for promoting such products/practices.

6. No NSFW.

Do not post photos of bare private parts, bare bottoms, bare anything that you wouldn't show your grandmother. This is not a NSFW sub and what you have probably needs medical attention, which we are not qualified to provide.

7. Moderator discretion.

Moderators reserve the right to make decisions in the best interests of the sub and its users, including removing posts that are overly dramatic or are deemed likely to cause undue drama or controversy. Posts that are low effort or have insufficient detail (i.e., just a photo) may be removed. If you won't make the effort to tell us what your question is, we won't make the effort to try to guess.

Attempting to evade filters for any reason is a bannable offense.

Moisturizer for super dry body skin

Looking for a moisturizer/lotion/oil that genuinely moisturizes super body dry skin. I had eczema when I was young and now I have extremely dry skin, even when I moisturize in the morning my skin will absorb it by mid day and I’ll be dry and itchy again. I typically moisturize right after I shower on damp skin.

Currently I use Dr. Teals body oil and then Eucerin original healing lotion after. It does ok with keeping me moisturized but I’ll still get dry. Also if I wear shorts or tight clothes, it feels like the lotion rubs off faster. I’ve used Palmers cocoa butter, Nivea cocoa butter, Nivea original cream in the past but nothing seems to work. Any recommendations are appreciated!

How to use cleansing facial wipes?

Hi, I recently went overseas and forgotten to bring my own face wash so I bought a packet of facial cleansing wipes. Now that I am heading back, I would like to know how can I use it. I am someone who doesn't put on make up except for sun screen, I do have a small facial routines. If I were to use cleansing wipes, how does it work? Facial cleanser > cleansing wipes > facial routine(toner pad, serum, eye cream, moisturizer)? Or can I skip using my own facial cleanser if I were to use cleansing wipes?

Curious About Using 2% Salicylic Acid with Vitamin C – Is It Safe?

Is it okay to use a 2% salicylic acid face wash at night and follow it with a vitamin C serum and moisturizer, or will the salicylic acid interfere with the effectiveness of the vitamin C? Is this combination safe, or should I avoid using them together?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Under eye help

Can anyone recommend a product to help with under eye wrinkles & swelling like this please?

I actually don't mind the crows feet/ laughter lines, they are from a happy life! Under the eyes on the other hand makes me look so tired. Can a product help or should I be looking at lifestyle more, or do I just need to accept them?! Thank you!

Advice for deep lines around my mouth and early neck aging?

I’m a 37F and have had noticeable lines around my mouth since my late 20s, which made me look older early on. I’ve never been too bothered, but recently I’ve noticed that my mouth area looks even older, and my neck is starting to crepe. I’m open to non-invasive suggestions as I’m not keen on filler due to the over-puffed look I’ve seen in friends a few years older.

Here’s my current routine:

  • Cleansers: Cerave Cream Cleanser and Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
  • Serums: Snail Mucin and Madagascar Centella Ampoule
  • Moisturizers: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast OR Lipikar Baume AP+M
  • Treatments: Tretinoin .025 (weekly on face & neck), red light therapy (3-4x/week), 1mm dermarolling (monthly)

I did PRP about a year ago, which refreshed my skin, and Fotona laser last January, which helped but had short-lived results. I haven’t done Botox in a year.

Are there any other effective treatments or products you’d recommend to soften these lines and firm up my neck? Would love to hear what’s worked for others in similar situations!

Is Beauty of Joseon worth it?

Hi! I’ve been trying to find some good Korean skincare products, but shops in my area (I live in a suburban European town) don’t offer many options. However, one market sells Beauty of Joseon skincare items, such as the glow serum and the viral sunscreen (in both normal and stick packages). The prices are also rather low ($16-17 / €15-16). I have quite dry skin and I have dermatitis/eczema, so I was wondering if this brand is really worth it and, most importantly, if it is recommended for my skin type.

Bumps under my arm pits

I’ve recently been using the humble deodorant and just felt some bumps under the skin of my arm pits. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this irritation from my deodorant or something worse? 😩

Peel help! I've been using the ordinary peel for about 2 years now consistently. I could probably use it daily and it not bother me. 😆 I want to graduate to something stronger. Been looking at MUAC and have no clue where to start. Can anyone help? Would love any suggestions. Photo for attention
