Skincare help!
Our take
Hey there, skincare enthusiast! It sounds like you’ve been on quite the journey since quitting the pill, especially with your dry and sensitive skin. Your love for the Hydro Boost line is evident, and it’s great that you’re exploring new products. However, the burning sensation you’re experiencing after introducing Curology and adapalene is concerning. It’s crucial to listen to your skin; irritation can signal a need for adjustment.
30F. I quit the pill about a year ago. While on it, my skin was PERFECT. I’ve always had dry/sensitive skin so when I found a good product, I generally use it for a long time. I have most recently (for about the last year or longer) been using the Neutrogena hydro boost w/ HA gel cleanser, good molecules OR the ordinary HA serum, hydro boost water cream moisturizer (at night), and hydro boost city shield HA spf (day moisturizer). To say I love the hydro boost line is an understatement lol.
I have recently switched/some products due to what I think is hormonal acne. I started using Curology gentle cleanser (lightly foaming face wash) and neutrogena evenly clear adapalene gel 0.1%. still using the same moisturizers as above.
I started using these new products on Monday; today is Friday- and holy crap my face burns! Around my eyes and on my cheeks. I don’t want to abruptly stop or switch to something else but I’m at a loss. Can someone with experience please offer some advice? Willing to spend more money on products if the ones I’m using are “too cheap,” or just in general for better products/ingredients.

- 25 and my skin looks ROUGH, help!!Hi! I am a 25F with skin that shouldn't look as bad as it does. Wrinkles on my forehead, lots of texture, and dark spots from acne. My skin is hard to read in terms of oily vs dry but it is acne prone and definitely can get dry at times and oily at other times. Right now, this has been my night routine for a few months. It hasn't been great in eliminating lines, spots or texture but my skin has felt more hydrated. - Round lab foam cleanser - Anua peach toner - Prescription tret - Cetaphil daily moisturizing lotion for dry sensitive skin I am ashamed to admit it but in the morning I usually just throw on SPF 50 and call it good. I have been doing some research but I am getting kinda overwhelmed with all the info I am getting. Would these be better routines to match my needs? Do any of these products interact? Night: - Ma:nyo pure cleansing oil - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - Prescription tret/The Ordinary Azelaic acid suspension 10% cream, alternating every other day - Avene Cicalfate protective cream Morning: - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - SPF moisturizer submitted by /u/ranch518 [link] [comments]
- product reco for skincare 1st timerhi i’m a 25 yo girl (yes, that old) and i only wash my face every night with water (with little to no shame). the reason for this is… i tried face soap when i was young and i got PIMPLES. when i don’t wash it with soap i had no pimple at all!! it only pops up once a month before menstruation. my friends for the past years would always say just suncscreen, cleanse etc… and i’m so reluctant because it’s so convenient (that i don’t have to put extra mins at night) and i saw a post once that says don’t fix what’s not broken haha. & i know the dirt in my face alr accumulated!! and i can’t risk weeks of my face having break outs (there’s a lot of events to go to 😭) lately, i have maybe just a lil bit of budget to spend for self care! and my first thought was i can see my fucking pores on my selfies n i just know they r asking for help. but i think i have fragile skin, i have psoriasis, i have kp bumps on my arms n thighs that i gave up on. i just really want a cleanse - moisturize - sunscreen combo that WON’T make me break out because if pimples pop up i’d panic and stop it all ot once. just wondering what products to use (preferably something i can grab on cvs) thank you! submitted by /u/watersigned [link] [comments]
- Attention please help me out , what should I do Skincare26M here. Earlier, I used to keep things super simple just a Cetaphil cleanser and coconut oil on my face. I never got a single pimple, no blackheads, nothing. I didn’t even use sunscreen, and my skin was always crystal clear. Over the last year, life got hectic. I moved to a new place, got busy with work and travel, and stopped using coconut oil. Instead, I started a proper skincare routine all Cetaphil products: cleanser, toner, serum, and that radiance cream (round box one). Also i never take hot showers, always use cold showers but in new place i started using hot showers which was worst mistake . That’s when things started going wrong. I began getting pimples and acne. They come and go but never fully clear up. I then thought maybe I was overdoing it with heavy products. So I stopped the toner first, and after a few weeks, I also stopped the radiance cream since it felt too heavy for my skin. Right now, I’m only using Cetaphil cleanser and Cetaphil serum. But I’m honestly very confused and even a bit scared to try anything new. My skin is combination and very sensitive. is my skin barrier broken ? should i visit dermat ? should i stop serum too ?? and only use cleanser ? Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve gone through something similar or know what might be happening. What should I use or avoid? submitted by /u/Illustrious-Maybe-91 [link] [comments]
- my skin is so dry soshi i know like absolutely nothing about skincare and i need help 😫 I do have naturally drier skin but it has never really looked/felt like this. I got my makeup done last saturday and used my friend’s cleanser (curology i think) to remove it, since then this is how my skin has been. I’ve used my own gentle cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen throughout the week and literally nothing has helped (it really has only made my skin burn and more red). It just like drinks it all up and returns to its desert state. All my products have never irritated my skin so much so i am at a loss right now. another odd thing is it’s only like the cheek bones down—my forehead is perfectly fine. please advise 🙏 Thanks divas! submitted by /u/ineverusereddit12 [link] [comments]
