Hello! I am an 18F and over the past six months or so have been dealing with moderate hormonal acne for the first time in my life. It's been a journey navigating it, and has only gotten worse up until this point.
I had very mild acne in middle school, was prescribed Clindamycin swabs. These worked very well, but eventually weren't cutting it for the deeper cystic acne I began developing after a sunscreen gave me fungal acne. Treating the fungal acne destroyed my barrier in the process. So far, l've gone through Clindamycin swabs and topical cream, dapsone gel, tretnoin, and prescription azealic acid.
I had my hormones tested out of speculation a hormonal imbalance was causing my acne since I'm young, but my test results showed nothing unusual that would be correlated to acne regarding androgens, testosterone, and estrogen.
However, my derm kept recommending oral spironolactone. Obviously, I can't seem this as being ineffective until I try it. Although, I find it hard to make myself go on the medication due to the possible side effects and the fact that the acne can very easily come back once you stop taking it.
That being said, I am most interested in trying a good pre/probiotic supplement before any prescription medication. Do any women have good pre/probiotic supplements that worked well for them to clear up acne? Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi everyone! We’re a group of university students doing a design project about skin health. We’d love to hear about the everyday experience of living in your skin, beyond which products you use.

1. What, if anything, bothers you about your skin?

2. What does your skin mean to you personally?

3. What, if anything, about your skin feels outside your control?

4. Can you remember the last time you felt someone noticed your skin? What made you think so, and how did you feel?

A short story or a few sentences would help us understand what matters to people as we develop our project. Positive, negative and indifferent experiences are all welcome. You can skip any question.

We’ll use the responses to inform our university design project. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

does it work? i’m dealing with dark acne spots ( PIE ? )

Does anyone have a product that they would recommend for your body? Anything that helps with sun damage or creepiness?

I have been having facial dermatitis and irritation for the past couple months, does anyone have a recommendation for a light skin tint/tinted spf that doesn’t irritate super sensitive skin? I’ve cut back on harsh/scented products but am still having irritation somewhere in my routine or environment and I’m at a loss

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't NAD+ an incredibly unstable ingredient? I'm buying the toner for the peptides but I also can't help but wonder how they are using NAD+ in their products. Normally, most products use precursors like niacinamide and I guess down the pathway the most stable and closest to NAD+ would be NAM. Not to mention, isn't NAD+ too big a molecule to penetrate the skin? Their ingredient list clearly states NAD and I'm honestly sceptical about it.

If there's a skincare chemist or biochemist I would love to hear your input.

I saw someone on tiktok and the corners of her lips are all damaged bc they put tretinoin there so i asked in the comment section what products i should use instead. A commenter replied to me and suggested azelaic acid but another commenter disagreed bc it caused her to have angular cheilitis and suggested niacinamide instead. But i also heard niacinamide doesn't really fade dark spots, so now I'm conflicted. What should i use instead that is gentle enough on the skin around my lips?

What the title says: i’ve been dealing with both of these skin issues for a couple years now. Nothing really helps, other than drinking a shit ton of water consistently and not touching nicotine. I use azaelic acid and niacinimide every night, and this combined treatment generally helps but i’m still struggling with a lot of redness and cystic breakouts quite frequently. Are these wands actually good at getting rid of the breakouts at least before i spent $100 lmao

Hi everyone, I’ve been a victim of bad water (hard water) due to living in a dorm, and got lots of acne on my back, chest and upper arms as a result. The acne itself went away, but it left behind some big keloid scars that haven’t gone away for 6 years. I’ve been to the doctor about them for drying/shrinking them, but it seems very expensive and as a student, I do not have the budget or time for it. It also seems like it will take many sessions to get them to disappear completely. Does anyone know of something I can do on my own instead of getting these injections? I’m not completely against the procedure either, so I will start saving up to get it if it’s the best/only option. Thank you so much!

Any recommendations for a no-rinse makeup remover? Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 was my go to for years until they changed the formula (I think?). It’s just not the same as before.

Any suggestions for a good moisturizing makeup remover?

Hi!!
I have recently gotten an augmentation to make my 🍒 bigger. And of course I’ve found something new to be insecure of, stretch marks!!

They have appeared quite recently, I’d say within the last couple of weeks. And they’re not white stretch marks they’re kind of purple. I’ve heard that hyaluronic acid and retinol creams can potentially reduce them a little if you’re consistent with using it.

Can anyone give me some advice or recommendations of what I can do/use to get rid of them, I know there’s nothing wrong with it, but honestly, I just don’t want them there as it’s a new thing to be self conscious of.
Any suggestions I would appreciate!!!
