Review of all the products I’ve used on my skin so far..

SUNSCREENS:

1. Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Acid gel sunscreen - (2.5/5)

Well, I have a combination type of skin and this product was too watery and shiny for my skin. It made me sweat a lot idk. One thing tho, it absorbed fast and there was no white cast. Would recommend it for people with dry skin only.

2. La roche-posay Anthelios UV mune - (4/5)

This product suited my skin very well !! It absorbed pretty quickly and gave a dewy kind of glow. Would not repurchase because of the cost, as it’s expensive.

3. BOJ matte sun-stick - recently bought

So I purchased this for reapplication purposes and it’s been only few weeks to give a review. But yeah it gives a nice matte finish when applying, and doesn’t feel heavy at all.
Remember only opt this for reapplication purposes!!

CLEANSERS:

1. Cetaphil gentle cleanser - (4/5)

This is my HG during winters. Doesn’t irritate my skin and strip off and make my skin dry. But during other season, I felt it didn’t give me that squeaky clean feeling and felt like I’m applying moisturiser on my skin.

2. Dot and key cica calming facewash - (4.5/5)

I use this facewash during summers and it’s the best for my skin !! It removes all the dirt and everything without stripping my skin and making it dry. Sometimes it does feel a bit dry but yeah it’s manageable.

MOISTURISER:

Bioderma atoderm- (4.2/5)

Using this for so long and it never disappoints!!
As a combination skin girl, this is my hg during all seasons except summers. It feels heavy during the warm weather. I switch to a light moisturiser during summers. It didn’t give me any comedones but I heard from some people they got it.

EYECREAM:

BOJ retinal eye cream- (2.7/5)

Well, well,well. It’s been few months since I’m using this product but I didn’t find any difference or change in my dark circles. I have to agree this was an impulse buy cause I was so insecure of my dark circles. I don’t blame the product because dark circles cannot be cured solely through creams and serums. I would suggest not to buy this and rely on good sleep and diet.
*my fked up sleep schedule might be the reason it didn’t work 😭 (med student iykyk)

SERUM:

Plum niacinamide serum 10%- (3/5)

Okay so this was the first ever skincare product I’ve ever bought. Used it regularly for 2-3 months and it did gave a nice texture to my skin and pores. It didn’t fade my dark spots completely but yeah to some extent I would say 30-40%.

PHARMACY PRODUCTS:
(Use it under the guidance of a medical professional)

1. Aziderm 20% gel - (4.3/5)

Been using this for quite a while, used the 10% and 15% variants before.
The things about Azelaic acid is takes a while to work. It took me 2 months of religious use to make this product work on my skin.
It reduced the redness in my skin and faded my forehead dark spots. I still have some dark spots on my nose and I’m currently using it.
Let’s see how it fades them

2. Benzoyl peroxide- 2.5%

I use this only as a spot treatment on active acne spots or the newly forming acne. I would say it worked well, but please stay away from other actives during using this product.

THATSS ITTTT :))))

Is there any hope in improving this?

Hi, I would like to know which is better for reducing darkness and pigmentation: Ethiglo or Kosicare. If you recommend one, could you please tell me: •When should I use it? •Should I apply a moisturizer after using it? •How long does it usually take to see visible results?

Dark pigmentation on forehead and cheeks

Hello everyone,

I'm a 38 year old male, and I want some help regarding dark pigmentation that has happened over my forehead as well as cheeks over the last few months.

Starting off with the left cheek (photo 1 & 3) I've had this pigmentation for quite some time and it seems to get a bit darker when I shave my beard. However, since the last few days, I've also noticed pigmentation on the upper part of my right cheek (photo 2). It's a bit lighter, but is visible in the mirror as compared to in photos.

Apart from that, I've also had pigmentation on the center part of my forehead (photo 4) over the past few months. It's mostly in the form of the letter T, and the skin just above the eyebrows seems to be of the regular tone.

Also, I've had a dark patch on the top left of my forehead (visible in photo 1), and I believe it's how the pigmentation started. I've visited two dermatologists for these. The first said it was PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) but there was no injury to that area, and the second didn't really say much. Both dermatologists prescribed Tacrolimus ointment that didn't do much, and I discontinued using it after a week after reading it's not even effective for hyperpigmentation.

I would also like to mention that the last few months have been extremely stressful for me due to some personal reasons, and I've pretty much ignored my diet. I don't have a proper sleep cycle either, and usually sleep and wake up late.

Lastly, I had a full panel done recently and it came up with Vitamin B & D deficiency, and I've been taking supplements for those.

I've read about products like azelaic acid, tretinoin, kojic acid, and glycolic acid, but I really don't know how to use them and which products to go for. I've never paid attention to skin care, and just use basic face washes and face scrubs from brands like Himalaya. I did use some products (vitamin C serum, retinol, and barrier boost serum) from Dot & Key on and off in the past months, but have stopped using them.

Please help, I'd be grateful. Thank you!

HELP ME FIX MY LIP PIGMENTATION.

It was almost close to 0 pigmentation when I was a child, but then I had anxiety as a teen and I kept biting my lips a lot that it became a habit. So now I just have this gross ring of darkness around my lips. I really hate it so bad and it’s giving me really terrible self-worth issues once my friend pointed it out, saying that I had black lips. And it looks 10 times worse in the dark. This photo doesn’t do the ugliness of my lips justice. So guys, please feel bad for me and help me out.😭 because this is the only thing that’s ruining my face..
Here’s the list of products that I have used:

  1. The minimalist ascorbic acid lip balm
    2.melalumin
    3.wishcare spf lip balm
  2. Deconstruct spf lip balm
  3. Derma co capsule lip balm

And i cannot afford lip laser stuff..my job pays me nothing atp
Ive even quit tea for a longgg time and got back to drinking tea cuz i saw no difference.
Im just using a lip pencil and i feel like im catfishing people. Please you guys! Help a girl out and imma be forever grateful to you.

Please help!

Whenever I get a pimple it immediately turns into a dark spot when it’s done. It’s been harder and harder to keep up no pimple patches help when they are forming. (Pictured along my cheeks and forehead)

I have also had a upper lip shadow all my life and question if it’s melasma. My dermatologist told me my skin is fine and prescribed me Spironolactone. I didn’t take it as I had a surgery I didn’t want to interfere with. My hyperpigmentation has not been addressed which I feel is a large issue for my skin condition.

What do you recommend works I’m at a loss and haven’t found someone online with skin like mine. I have to wear my bare face a lot and really want to improve. I’ve even been researching Asian brightening products as I’m desperate to get it even by May. I have freckles along my nose, forehead and cheeks and don’t want them to disappear but the marks around them are becoming to be too much for me.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
