I do need your help guys. I consulted a derma through online consultation and he/she prescribed me to use adapalene. But I have doubts with it because the prescription says that I should use the adapalene EVERY OTHER NIGHT on my first week. Then put the adapalene every night on the next weeks. Isn't that too harsh for my skin? The every other night method coz I know mostly on picky says that it should be put 1-2 times a week if you're a first timer. I'm worrying a lot on how my face would react my face would be surprised with this new regimen.

Another thing! He/she prescribed a glycolic soap, is it okay to use with adapalene? Wouldn't it cause some harmful effect because it's just a facial wash? I really don't know what to believe coz I doubt a lot. But I do trust the derma, I'm just scared to try this new routine. I do worry how my face would turn out 😭

Please help me I don't know what to do. The derma didn't also recommend a moisturizer. What should I do?

Please kindly interact with this post

Exfoliating Toner

I'm really bothered by my pores, I know having pores is really normal, but mine's become enlarged idk why. It wasn't noticeable before, but maybe it changed in size because of the hot weather? I really don't know. That's why I need your help. Please recommend products (esp. serums) that target pores. Thank you in advance for your help, it is much appreciated!♥️

Large Pores

Hi everyone! I would like to ask for your help since I have dry and flaky skin that looks like I have a fish scale. I do use lotion but I think using it alone isn't effective. I also use Dove soap since I think it can help in moisturizing my skin. Any recommendations for lotions, soap, and body care? My body hair are not obvious since I have dry skin. Thank you for helping me!

Dry and Flaky Skin

Hello everyone! I'm planning to buy a new cleanser since my current cleanser is running out. I also searched on it's official shop but I think they don't have a stock as of now. I have an oily skin and I didn't also see any significant changes from using the cleanser. So I would like to ask your opinion if you have cleanser recommendations or share your holy grail cleanser. (I'll tag the current cleanser below.)

Cleanser Recommendations?

Maybe this isn't for me, because there was a time that I got breakouts after using this, sad.

It calms irritated skin and diminishes redness. Not heavy on the face and has a unique color. Has a subtle scent. I only use it at night because I feel uncomfortable when using it in the morning. 

Too little amount of product. For me, it's kinda expensive for a 5mL product. I used it on August 8, 2023 and now is August 29, the product is running out so easily. I think I have an mL or less. I don't think this would last for a month or two.

It strengthen my lashes and brows. My lashes usually fall off especially when I use mascara, but after using this, I've seen that few or none fall off. On my brows, I've little improvements it helped me grow tiny hairs that I shaved off last time. Maybe consistency is really the key.

It has a little bit drying and tightening effect. It didn&#39;t clear my skin and causes some acne on my forehead and cheeks.

It&#39;s moisturizing and I like its smell.

It cannot fade post-acne marks which was the packaging says. It made my dark marks even darker. It's also kind of hard to rinse off.

It can treat some of my pimples, but not all. I feel like it it chooses a type of pimple to treat? Haha sounds funny but that's what I've experienced. It can't treat my big pimples but it can make small pimples reduce it size. 

It hurts when I apply it on my chapped lips and made my lips more flaky and dry. It moisturizes my lips first but after application it slowly turns into a drying one. Won't buy this again.

It has good ingredients based on the packaging. Yes, it helped me in moisturizing my lips. BUT... ⬇️
