Forhead acne before and now

Hi guys,
I am sharing my 6 months journey from acne to acne free skin. Feel free to ask any questions.
My routine:
In morning i use la roche posay effaclar cleanser as my skin is oily after that i apply small amount of benzac 5% on acne areas, then i apply niacinamide, and then minimalist moisturizer, and then la roche posay sunscreen.

At night, cleanser, then adaplene, then moisturizer. Simple.

P.s: ignore my damaged hair i am working on it. If any one have tips for hair thinning. Also there is a curl on front part of my hair looked like damage hair.

My skin doesn’t feel normal anymore and I can’t figure out why

I don’t really know what changed, but my skin just doesn’t feel normal anymore.

My skin is normal to combination and it was completely fine before this. I was using CeraVe foaming cleanser for about 4 months with no problems at all.

For the cleanser, I didn’t switch the product, just the way I used it. Earlier, I would apply it directly on my face with a bit of water and it made less foam. Recently I started lathering it in my hands first and then applying it on my face, so it creates more foam now.

Around the same time, I also switched to a Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel moisturizer. At first everything felt totally fine.

But after a few days, things started changing.

Now I’m getting small red bumps on my face, and my skin feels more sensitive than before. Even when I apply the moisturizer, it gives a slight burning feeling for a short time, which is the part that’s confusing me the most.

I also use Skin Aqua sunscreen daily, so I still need something that can properly remove it without making things worse.

Right now I stopped the moisturizer for a couple of days because of the burning, just to see if my skin calms down.

I’m not really sure what’s going on:

  • did my skin barrier get irritated?
  • is it the moisturizer, or is my skin just reacting right now?
  • should I just go back to my old cleansing method and use the Neue gel moisturizer again, will that actually help my skin barrier heal and keep my skin hydrated?

If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d really appreciate your help.

Need help!

That’s the condition of my face.

It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve seen my skin without acne or scars, and on top of that I have oily skin.

Can anyone suggest something affordable that might help?

I know diet plays a big role in skin health, but I barely eat fast food once in a month.

Thanks in advance.

Please suggest me skin care and sunscreen for summers

Let me give you the context. Other than soap, I have never used anything on my skin ever (literally)

I know so many names like lotion, moisturizer, etc but I don't even know what the difference is. Someone please recommend me sunscreen around (900-1500pkr) and some skin care or basic skin care one should follow please please please

don't know where to start

my face is heavily marked, people just tell me to use more sunscreen or "wash my face" more. (I never leave home without sunscreen) I don't know what to do to fix this, my face is much "dirtier" than the rest of my skin

Need advice for curly hair

Picture for reference.

I've had straight/wavy hair all my life but jan 2026 mai baal khudi curly hona shuru hogai so I was like on scene.

Khair, what shampoo & conditioner would you guys recommend? rn I'm using coco curls but the shampoo leaves my hair feeling stringy/dry (conditioner offsets it a lot tho).

General care tips would also be appreciated.

Please and thank you.

23F: dry skin, enlarged pores, super chapped lips (to the point they sometimes bleed)

Hi. i have the above mentioned problems and because of these i am not able to wear makeup smoothly as well. i feel like a lot of it has to do with the kind of local makeup that i am using but more than that i also have completely ruined my skin barrier by using random skin care products. i have a combination skin, its oily T zone and rest is very dry!! lips are completely damaged.

i am not sure where to start. every seller, every website i see is very expensive. i dont want to spend all my money on cerave or cetaphil. also i need some lip product suggestions, preferably glosses, which are not too expensive and hydrating.

TheSkinFit scam???

I got their beauty of joseon sunscreen and something seemed off from the get go. I have been using this sunscreen for a while now but I used to get it from Saudi Arabia.

I heard they're a legit brand and I bought a couple things alongside the boj sunscreen (not aqua, original). The texture is really watery?? The biggest difference was that there was no tanning on my face after I used it for the day and my skin would look dewy and soft by the time I was back.

I'm thinking this is a counterfeit and they used a cheap sunscreen in its place? The consistency was a bit thicker and the colour had a warmer/neutral undertone but this gives white hospital lights with a thin consistency. I might be paranoid idk.

Best conditioner available for thin hair

Can anyone help me find a good conditioner for low porosity, thin hair, also tend to get an oily scalp with drier ends. I used to get loads of compliments on having silky and dead straight hair without even using a conditioner. But recently shifted to a new place and hard water is making my hair quite dull and dry. Also, I do use a hair oil before shower and coat my hair lengths in it. Currently, I have started using a clarifying shampoo but need to find a good conditioner that does the job of keeping my hair ends hydrated without weighing them down. Please tell what worked for you guys.

Dull skin

I'm an 18 year old guy and I'm very fair skinned however I have a body hair problem so I shave or trim my stomach twice a month, my stomach is so dull and darker than my chest and shoulder area and it's so prominent as if its 2 different people, not only that even my back is darker than my shoulder and chest area. I've never exposed my body to the sun, so what's the reason. Also, after shaving or trimming my skin has visible strawberry skin is there a way to reduce it?
