Hey guys,

I’m very new to skincare. Honestly, I never paid much attention to it because I didn’t really have major skin concerns and never made the time for it.

I kept seeing everyone rave about the Rhode Glazing Milk and how it gives such a glowy, glass-skin look, so I bought it. I’ve been using it every morning and evening for the past 3 weeks.

The thing is… I’m honestly not seeing much of a difference. It gives my skin a nice shine for a minute or two after I apply it, but then it fades. I feel like I could get the same effect just by using a moisturiser.

Am I using it incorrectly, or is it just not suited to my skin? Also, does it only work really well when you pair it with the rest of the Rhode products? I’m wondering if that’s how Hailey Bieber gets that signature glow.

For context, I have medium-fair skin and my skin is generally normal to slightly sensitive.

Has anyone else had the same experience, or am I expecting too much from it?

I could really use advice, especially from people who aren’t trying to sell me a product. Background-I’m a 39 year old female with dry skin (at least that what it feels like since my makeup tends to peel at times) with some redness. I do get a few dry scaly/flaky patches of skin around my nose area at times. The more I research, watch videos, browse online, the more confused I get with what products to use when (AM vs PM), which products do not mix or use together, and how often these products should be used (daily, 2x week, etc). My goal is to have well hydrated skin, brighten it up, improve dark circles (if possible), and reduce redness. Any advice would greatly be appreciated and if I’m missing or need to remove any products please let me know. I’m not currently using all the products in the photo as I know some are duplicates just different brand. Also I am using a sunscreen which isn’t pictures and washing my face with water in morning and double cleanse at night.

Clusters of whitehead bump things just started popping up under mouth. Idk what it js from and pimple patches only making more irritated. Help!

Does anyone have any helpful tips for getting rid of this acne? I’ve suffered for about a year now from constant pimples on my chin or around it. I eat very healthy and live a healthy lifestyle, sleep 8-9 hours, lots of veges, no alcohol at all, clean pillow cases every week, use the same skincare I always have for about 5 years (good quality serums). However I am a dental assistant so I wear masks for 9 hours a day, so I’m wondering if it is from that. I’m getting so frustrated because one will finally heal and another will pop up the next day and they’re quite sore. I’ve not had any problems with dairy but I’m starting to think it might be that? Anyone else struggle with this from wearing masks all day? I have tried pimple patches but would like to see if there’s anything else I can do so I don’t always have to worry about putting those on. TIA and much appreciated

Hi everyone! Got my first proper road rash a few days ago, and now that the accident has mostly moved from immediate wound care to vanity.. I'm trying my best to avoid scarring and hyper-pigmentation on the shallower scrapes!

For anyone who has had PIH after road rash, burns, abrasions or just PIH more generally, what helped lower inflammation while the marks were still fresh, and what worked later once the skin had fully healed beyond UV protection?

Currently focusing on moist wound healing with Fitostimoline hydrogel, Vaseline and Tegaderm while the surface is still rebuilding.

I’m wondering whether topical hydrocortisone would make sense on these shallow scrapes to reduce inflammation early, as they're not open or bleeding, just very red and superficially abraded. I’m hesitant to use it too soon, though, in case it interferes with healing, so I’m considering waiting another day or two.

Silicone scar gels and tapes: My understanding is that they are mainly useful for texture/raised scarring rather than pigmentation, but I’m not sure how much they help with discolouration.

For treating PIH in my situation, would you lean towards hydroquinone, and if so at what percentage? Or would azelaic acid and tretinoin be better?

I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve dealt with PIH successfully. Trying to be careful without over-treating new skin

i've noticed these horizontal wrinkles / lines on my neck and i'm wondering if anyone has product recommendations for what could help improve the appearance or prevent this from worsening. i'm 26F and i wear moisturizer & sunscreen every day and retinol at night on my face / neck. i can provide more specifics if needed!

I am noticing my skin deteriorate slowly- enlarged pores, uneven texture and discoloration and sagging. What are my options - I am not keen on going under the knife at the moment as I do want to embrace growing older naturally . Are there any creams or potions that help. My routine at the moment is waleda and oil of Olay regenerist and spf ( beauty of joseon)
I just bought the ordinary hyaluronic acid that I just started a day ago. I used it before my regenrist at night and then add a layer of aquaphor
I might consider Botox but I am terrified of looking swollen and weird and I feel it might be a slippery slope. Also wouldn’t know where to go to get a subtle job done

Sorry for this odd pic - I tried to blur out my eyes and lips 😂

I had these bumps on my face for 5 days but each day they get worse and worse and I need to go to work but I can’t look like this. Everything I put on my face triggers it. My doctor gave me IVERMECTIN 1% CREAM and DOXYCYCLINE HYC 100 MG
CAP. She also told me to use winlevi in the morning. She said it’s dermatitis and she sees white heads but I don’t. My face is getting puffy and they bumps and getting more red and spreading. I change my laundry detergent I stopped wearing makeup. I just don’t know what to do.

Today, I look more into TCA Cross & TCA Peels, where I found the website Platinum Skincare, which sells 7%, 13%, 20% and 30%

I got few little scars in my cheek under-eye area and the left side of my face looks worse, I never had experience with chemical peelings, but would a 13% do as good as the other percentages for my skin issues?

I watched a lot of TikTok videos & read articles here about it & people said, TCA cross widens the scars, my personal goal is too peel & even out my whole face.

I could need some more informations since I‘m not too sure about my sensitive skin & scarring issues

They’re advertising a lot about Anti-Aging, fixxing Scars, Pigmentation & I need to be sure to do it, because I don’t wanna make it worse than it already is

Important information: My scars aren’t by acne, they look like bigger pores and there’s not really fat or collagen loss, I only caused scars by using a rough brush on my face in 2022 and since then, I only wanted to hide the scarring with skincare.

I would also to love to hear from your experiences and if you text me in private chat.

Ive tried

oil cleansing, salicylic acid cleanser, la roche posay duo+m, adapalane (didnt work so now i’m on tret).

current routine is skin1004 centella oil and foam cleansers, tretinoin, axis y dark spot serum, purito bamboo cream or 345 relief cream and bioreuv sunscreen

any product recommendations or improvements to my routine that could help?

I’m working on my diet to get good amount of protein, fats and carbs and working out.

But there’s been a problem, every period I have a pimple which is popping up almost in the same spot and the pigmentation is just not going away.

I went to two dermats, one said I need laser treatment and the other prescribed me with Tranexamic acid. I’m still looking for suggestions if I should pull the trigger for laser treatment.

Main problem with laser is that I had a very bad session earlier and ruined my skin earlier so I’m afraid.

Attaching pics for some better advice.

I've been dealing with this redness for the last 3 years (when I hit my 30s). My face started feeling extremely textured and nothing would resolve that. Last month I simplified my routine and that has definitely helped the texture and calmed the redness a little bit. My routine now is Prequel gleanser, haruharu milky toner, Prequel redness serum and AM/PM moisturizer + Bubble sunscreen. Any suggestions on my routine? I previously used Good Molecules and the Anua azelaic acid -neither provided any relief. I have not been diagnosed with anything but I do have a dermatologist appointment in a few weeks. The first picture is now and the second is a month ago. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Could this be related to my posture? The sagging started when the pain in my back began to increase, and I am not overweight
