So my skin has never really been too acne prone until last summer and now it is returning again and it's starting to really annoy me. Judging from these pictures, would you be able to suggest some products, routines, advice in order to reduce it? I'm also dreading the pigmentation too.
My skin is oily/combo acne prone and I'm also really prone to whiteheads in the crevices by my nose. Thanks!!! Btw I'd prefer suggestions I can get from the drugstore as I can't really order online at the moment, but I'd take anything :)

Advice 😬please

For anyone living in the UK, can you recommend me some good products that I can buy in boots or superdrug? I appreciate any brands, any products. It would be amazing as I can't really order online at the moment! Thanks :) 💖

UK peeps! I need suggestions

Hey all!

What are some unpopular opinions that may anger some of, if not, all of, the skincare community?
I'll share two:
•There are better products than the cosrx snail mucin and it also doesn't reduce hyperpigmentation (chemists have said that btw)
•Most skinfluencers that review products on tik tok say something like "omg look at that glow!" When in reality their skin is just wet from applying products

I'm curious about yours 😶

Unpopular opinions

Hi all,

So as we know, how you feel on the inside can also reflect on the outside. Gut health, medication, stress.. all factors to skin. For those with chronic illness i was wondering if you've noticed skin issues and flare ups due to your illness? I have type 1 diabetes that is poorly controlled and definitely it has had some contribution to my problematic skin.

Chronic Illness and skin

I've just finished my toner and would like to try another. I have normal to oily combination skin and my concerns are fading my post marks, large pores and oily t zone. A plus would be my big pores to appear reduced :)
If it could be a toner I could buy in a store in the UK, preferably stores such as boots and superdrug, that would be great :)

Toner suggestions?

The dropper makes it hard to pick up product and I find I often have to tip the product out onto my hands.

I love this serum and applying it to damp skin gives me that extra boost of hydration! I love the fact it has two amazing hydrating ingredients - squalane and glycerin - and that it includes a tri ceramide complex that is amazing for supporting a healthy skin barrier:) this would be a perfect product if your skin barrier is damaged or compromised or if you're currently suffering with pollen related allergies.

Nothings really bad about it IMO 🤷‍♂️ The pump is my fav feature of it as it makes application really easy and after about two months of using it I still have plenty more product to use! 

This is the first ever vitamin c serum I've ever used and I believe this is perfect for beginners. I initially reached for this to help fade my PIE and saw loads of good reviews so I needed to try it out. The application is easy and glides on so well. I love how lightweight it is and can't really smell that typical irony smell that I've heard alot of other vitamin c serums have. It absorbs into the skin perfectly and you don't have to wait long for it to dry in. What I love about it is that as brightening as it is, i also find it is hydrating for the skin and makes my skin nice and plump! The glow it leaves is radiant. My skin tone is also more even which I LOVE!
After around two months of using this serum, my post acne marks have faded well! I also started experiencing a purge about three weeks ago after starting a BHA and they've already begun to lighten up well! Use this if you're new to the world of vitamin c products or if you want your marks to go ❤

I've noticed that using this along with the niacinamide brightening toner from good molecules has made a great team and I believe its helped fade my marks faster than they would have gone!

Nothing was that bad about the product. I haven't noticed any oxidation and it absorbs quite quickly using a cotton pad.

I wasn't expecting to notice much difference but I'm finding myself surprised. After cleanser, I put some drops on a cotton pad and swipe it across my face but pay extra attention to my t zone. As someone with combination skin, oily t zone and normal face, I knew this product would be great! My pores appear reduced, my skin gets a nice glow and my skin tone is evened out more. In combination with the 15% vitamin c serum by inkey list, my post acne marks have started to fade faster than I thought they would have!

If you're planning on reapplying, I'd buy two bottles of this as it does empty quick. 

This is a holy grail for me and I will always reach for a bottle of this when I'm in boots or any skincare Isle! It's super lightweight and doesn't clog my pores. As someone with a super oily t zone who's clog prone, this product will always be bought. I love how this gives me a natural radiant looking glow! Not so much a glow as in shiny and using liquid highlighter, but a 'glow from within' 'eating healthy and drinking water' glow. It's hydrating and leaves NO whitecast on my skin personally. As someone who lives in Southeast London where I find is more polluted than the city, as this spf is anti pollution, I notice I breakout less when using this. GET. IT. NOW.

I'd say for people with combination skin and oily skin, it's not a good choice. When I use it, it feels quite greasy on the skin and after a while you will feel as if someone's sprayed water on the skin. It makes me look shiny and personally, it just didn't work out for me 💁‍♂️I still reach for this when my usual suncream runs out though and on colder days. If you have dry skin, I'd suggest you give this a try as it may be right for you!

I've seen this hyped up everywhere on tik tok and I had to try it. I liked how it has no whitecast what so ever on the skin. I liked how it contains vitamin e to help fight free radicals and prevent uv damage.
