Hey! Does anybody have any lifehack, tips or tricks on how to improve skin texture, hyperpigmentation and acne scars? Right now I'm using Skinoren 20% azelaic acid treatment, been using this for 2 months. Also started to use vitamin C in the morning - mine is serum from Revolution with 12.5% ascorbic acid.

I have consistent skincare routine : double cleanse, toner, hydrating serum in the evening, vit C serum in the morning, cream and SPF. But I still struggle with acne and very stubborn acne scars on my cheak that won't go away😫

Lately, I started to do my research on laser treatments. I've heard a lot of interesting opinios from people who did laser and some of them were very happy with the results and some people been very disappointed and broke their budget after that procedure. 

Gonna put my routine down and pictures of my skin down below. ✅

Please tell me about your routine/products that helped you with similar problem. I would really appreciate that! ✨🤗🌸

How to improve skin texture and hyperpigmentation?

What's the difference between adapalene cream 0.1% or gel?

Differin cream or gel?

Hello! 🌸✨🤗

💫 A month ago I started to use my prescribed Skinoren azelaic acid 20% treatment in hope that it is gonna manage my acne and fade PIE hypermigmentation problems. I've been using it for about a month now - azelaic acid in the evening, vitamin C serum in the morning and religiously applying SPF 50. But I haven't seen any changes and my skin started to produce even more closed comedones and bumps. 😫

🤔 And I'm currently thinking that shoud I build a new skincare routine with high percentage of BHA and AHA acids or go to straight up Epiduo gel with 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide? I've been using Differin gel for almost a year and this changes my skin in a good way! But I can't buy Differin cuz it discontinued in my country. My current skincare products are almost empty so I'm thinking about changing my routine a little bit? 💧

✅ 🧪 Down below I'm gonna put a routine with BHA AHA acids that I think to start using.

What's your thoughts? ✨🌸

BHA or straight up adapalene Epiduo?

Hey! Currently on my adapalene treatment and started to expirience extreme dryness in nose area and chin. I have very many closed comedones and I'm prone to acne. Is it okay to use LRP Cicaplast B5 Baume for my skin? Any other product recommendations for intemse hydration and skin protection?

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume for acne prone skin.

Hello! I've been struggling with a comedonal acne since I was 11yo (I'm almost 19 rn). Summer 2020 I started my skincare journey. All of my teenage years I've been using my moms skin care from russian brand Mirra wich is full of oils and fragrance that doesn't suit for me. 

I HAVE OILY/COMBO/ACNE-PRONE SKIN TYPE. I started to use an adapalene Differin gel and right know my skin is freaking out (currently using it for about a month now). I know that it is purging period but rn my skin is extremely red, flakey, peels a lot (I can't wear a foundation (Estee Lauder Double Wear) because it just peels right off or through out the day and it looks not very pretty).

I'm using Differin gel once in 3-4 days. Applying 
my sunscreen every single morning (currently using Purito Centella Unscented one and I know the drama about it). I really wanna try the klairs sunscreen spf 50 one. 

ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOISTURIZER THAT IS SUITABLE FOR OILY/ACNE-PRONE DEHYDRATED SKIN for winter? Also any suggestions for sunscreen?

Btw, I'm living in Europe and it's hard to find some US brands here.

Peeling, dry skin, comedones.

Amazing cream for oily/combo dehydrated skin for winter with anti-aging properties.

✨ OVER ALL GOOD SIDES: 
✅ Amazing for people with oily/combo acne prone skin. 
✅ It has a very pleasant "natural" smell that didn't irratate my skin. 
✅ Calms my skin and has slight skin barrier repairing effect. 
✅ ❗AMAZING FOR THOSE WHO HATE THICK RICH CREAMS BUT STILL IN NEED FOR THAT HYDRATION. ❗
✅ Pretty good ingredients : niacinamide, peptides, hyaluronic acid, plant extracts, adenosine.
✅ Kinda minimalistic formula that is suitable for layering any other skincare products. 

⭐ TEXTURE: 
It's more of like thick gel-type texture that sinks in to the skin and gives it a perfect deep moisture without leaving your skin feeling sticky or oily.

🎁 PACKAGING:
I really love the metal and minimalistic packaging. It really handy to use and I can get every single last drop of cream out of it.

💸 PRICE:
In my country it reatils around 32€. But I bought it on sale for 25€ and Im sure that in Europe you can find it cheaper. 

😤 FINAL OPINION:
10/10, amazing more that basic soothing cream with anti-aging properties. If you don't know what moisturizer to buy and you have oily/combo/acne dehydrated skin - this is a good choice to start with. 

- INTENSE WHITE CAST. My skin is white as paper with pinkish undertone and I look hilarious after I apply this sunscreen. Would absolutely not recommended that to a person of colour.
- Feels pretty heavy on the skin, just like a heavy mostruizer. 
- Contains comedogenic ingredients such as ISOPROPYL PALMITATE wich can be highly comedogenic for some people but if you look at the back of the packaging it claims to be non-comedogenic.  

It is okay but you can find better sunscreens on the European farmacy market, you can try tinted version of this sunscreen.

- Very high sun protection with mineral filters. 
- It is fluid so spreads very easily. 
- Long lasting, about 11 hours also waterproof. 
- Price : 21,30€ so it is pretty affordable.
- Easy to find in Europe local farmacy.

Absolutely nothing, loved this, will repurchase but the progress with this serum on my skin was a bit slow.

💦✨BY FAR MY FAVOURITE HYALURONIC ACID SERUM💦 Here's why...

Pre-story : First of all I thought that it's gonna be another sticky hyaluronic acid serum that will end up my skin swollen on the next morning and breaking out. From all the rewies I didn't really get to understand what texture this product has, but still bought it and gave it a chance and I was very nicely surprised. 

✨THE PACKAGING : Straight up 10/10, very pleasant and beautiful. The bottle itself is made up of some type of glass which I personally very enjoy, the plump is very handy to use. You can get every last drop of a serum from the bottle, and it's very minimalistic and beautiful on my shelf 😁

💙 THE SMELL : The smell is 12/10. It's not a typical artificial skincare smell which always irrataes my skin. It is very pleasant, so to say niche smell that is very suitable for this product. I would describe it as a "smell of hydrated glass skin"😂. It is really good and natural.

💧 THE TEXTURE: It's more thicker than their ampoules, which I loved because I don't like very watery textures. 

🥰 HOW WAS IT ON THE SKIN : Fast absorbing, absolutely non-sticky, AND I CAN PUT THIS ON MY EYES. The main thing that I LOOOVED about this that this is the only hyaluronic acid formula that doesn't get my face swollen. Straight up 12/10. 

FINAL OPINION: I've used this serum consistently for 1-2 months. It is hydrating, a little barrier repairing and little bit improved my texture and hyperpigmentation.

It was okay, it did it's job on my skin and some people with more dry skin types are gonna looove this cream 😁

Nice thick cream with pleasant smell for damaged skin barrier or just dry and flakey skin. 

The texture is thick and it can leave a sticky residue after. But I have really oily skin and I used it only to repair my barrier and calm irratation and it did it's job. 

❗WILL NOT RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES OR SENSETIVE SKIN DUE TO BIG AMOUNT OF EXTRACTS IN INGREDIENT LIST❗

Amazing for autumn and winter.
