Try some facials, they don't work for everyone but when they do they clean up acne quite well.
>dead sea mud mask
>aztec healing clay
Try some toners
>thayer's witch hazel
>derma e soothing toner
most important get a AHA exfoliant, best is Paula's Choice.
My personal regimen is washing my face with soap (dead sea mud bar), toner (the derma e soothing) and then BHA PC exfoliate. I use an aztec healing mask a few times a week but it really doesn't do much for me (I don't have bad acne) so i'm just trying to get rid of it now.

I'm not trying to go hard in the paint with products.
>comedones on foreskin
What do? These things don't squeeze out easily
Need a good toner that adds moisture to dry skin and diminished the look of large pores

>Origins United State Balancing Tonic

So you clean twice? not needed.
considered BP?
>>11839264
why would you wash twice daily if you have dry skin?
Currently just using some Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash, and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser every day, pic related.
>>11839936

im a complete noob when it comes to skincare
also why is the area around my mouth yellow
>>11840375
shave
lose weight
wait for your balls to drop
>>11840375
Skintone differences. You can even your tone with a proper routine, though it might be signifying underlining issues.
If you're a noob, read the sticky. You can formulate your own routine from there.

>it might be signifying underlining issues.
what do you think it could be? my diet is pretty bad at least
anyone have any info on Tretinoin? I have a red nose from sunburn last summer. would this help?
>>11841273
Don't put that shit if you have a sunburn.
>>11839312
no, from my experience massaging gently with your fingers is better than any kind of brushes out there on the market
Help.
>>11842888
what bodypart is that?
How long does it take to notice a difference after upping my water intake?
>>11842888
I feel you bro, goddamn do I feel you
Over the counter retinol cream, is it worth the money?
>>11842962
why OTC when you can get the good stuff at a derm
>>11841273
Tretinoin is Retin-A. Don't use it for a sunburn, get it healed with oils/pomades. Try Bepanthen if it doesn't break you out, might help (helps with burnt/dry lips); even if your nose isn't burnt anything else is probably better than putting a retinoid that will make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

The hell happened there, tripsfriend? Put something active on that shit.
Been using adapalene gel (Differin). I think it is irritating my face like hell, making me break out small bits every day; everything looks redder day after day despite wearing good sun protection, and nothing else on my regimen irritates my skin. I'll switch back to using BP at night. Just a word of warning regarding Differin.
I would like some tips on what exfoliant to buy and what moisturizer to use along with it, worldwide shipping isn't an option for me (huehuehuehuehueland and its 60%+ taxes) so I can't buy the usual stuff.
Available brands: some Neutrogena stuff, Vichy, Avène, some La-Roche Posay, Clean & Clear, Clinique (fucking expensive, though), almost all CeraVe (from what I recall only can't find the SPF cream).
What I could gather so far is Vichy has a good toner (Normaderm) and maybe exfoliant (Normaderm as well), Neutrogena has the Rapid Clear exfoliant that looks the same as the US version and maybe a good toner (not the Rapid Clear ones), some of the Effaclar line of La-Roche might be worth trying (like Effaclar MAT moisturizer and the Effaclar medicated gel, that maybe is an exfoliant but might just be a salicylic acid wash), CeraVe has the cleanser I already use and the PM moisturizer but I am not sure if it mixes well with BHA exfoliants; while Avène, Clinique and Clean & Clear I have no idea what is worth trying.
Thoughts?
