Ingrown hair hyperpigmentation

Hii, I have ingrown hairs under my chin area and it’s caused dark spots. I pluck them, probably shouldn’t but what can I use to get rid of it?

Ordinary Hair Serum

Has anyone tried this before? I just bought the mini size and have been using it for a week. I also derma roll my scalp once a week.

If you’ve tried this does it work for you? How long till you saw results also how often are you washing your hair?

How to fade hyperpigmentation on the corners of my lips?

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 can I do to heal dry broken lips?

I have a bad habit of biting my lip skin off and I've tried to control it now. I now need to focus on healing my damaged lip skin and stop this painful flaking and dryness. I don't smoke or drink.

Please tell me any tips or products that worked for you guys to completely heal your lip skin and maintain it!

centella water-fit sun serum

This sun-serum from centella really disappointed me.

i have combo skin with oily T zone and i bought this sunserum yesterday and i used it today's morning, when i first applied it, it was perfect until i rubbed it on my face and it pills like CRAZY! i was really surprised because i saw a lot of good reviews on this one, however it also have a bad white cast, which is also annoying because I thought it's visible with no color.

I would like to hear your thoughts!

Cat fur sticking to my face

Over the last two years, I've actually been buckling down and regularly using moisturizer, as well as expanding into some mild anti-aging products. (Perimenopause + GLP-1 has been a wild ride!) Now that my skin is well hydrated, a new problem has cropped up: insidiously fine "fairy floss' hair from my Maine Coon is sticking to my skin and driving me nuts!

Currently, we have air purifiers in each room, a roomba, brush her daily, and bathe her as needed. Our flamepoint cat actually sheds more, but his fur is thicker and doesn't stay airborne like hers does.

Any advice is welcome! I don't wear makeup, but if there is a non-tinted product that would help prevent airborne floof from sticking, I'd be interested. I have sensitive skin and rosacea, but also a fairly active t-zone.

Cat tax included!

Upper lip hyperpigmentation

Hi all,

I’m just making this post to ask if anyone has ever struggled with upper lip hyperpigmentation before, and if so are there any products or ingredients you could recommend?

I first saw this hyperpigmentation after shaving/plucking and some sun damage, and the fact that it has a grey tinge leads me to believe that it’s quite deep under the skin.

I currently use La Roche Posay vitamin C, but haven’t had much luck.
Any advice is super appreciated🫶🏼

Fine lines

Hello everyone I have been struggling with my fine lines around my mouth and eyes. I suppose it’s dehydration? since I’m 18 years old and I wear spf everyday.

Does anyone have something similar like this and what is your recommendation? Thank you in advance :)

My skincare routine:
Laneige milky toner
Corsx propolis creme
Beauty of joseon spf 50
And in the evening I use my mom’s Estée Laurens night repair serum.

Questions for those who've done BBL / IPL

I just had my first BBL Hero treatment done 3 days ago. I bought a series, so I still have 2 more sessions left. I did get some MENDs that were apparent immediately afterwards, and they have not flaked off yet. However, compared to many of the pics I've seen online of others getting this treatment, I do not have very many MENDs in comparison. If the spots that blackened are all that ends up clearing up / disappearing after this whole thing is said and done, I will feel like it was a waste of money, because it just isn't that impressive. Basically just a smattering on the highest parts of my cheekbones, where I've gotten the most sun exposure. However, I have chatted with AI about this, and it says that it's only the very worst and darkest sunspots that become MENDs, whereas lighter, diffuse freckling or sunspots will still get cleaned up by the BBL; it just takes longer because the skin naturally clears away the pigment over the course of the next month or so versus pushing out the zapped necrotic pigment right away. Have any of you found that to be true, in your own experience? In other words, should I not be overly pessimistic right now because there's still the possibility that a lot of my lighter spots will slowly go away soon, too?

For what it's worth, I went to a highly rated clinic overseen by a derm with NPs doing the lasers. The person who did my procedure has done a gazillion of them and seemed really knowledgeable. My skin is in really good shape overall, with not a ton of sun damage, so I know my results won't be as super-dramatic as someone who has a history of using tanning beds, but still, my pigmentation is the biggest thing that bothers me and I'm really aiming to get a more even skintone.

How can I improve the texture of my forehead? It has these little bumps that aren’t pimples. The expression lines bother me too. I’d like to have smooth skin.

Expiration dates

Hi guys,

I need some help deciding what to do with these skincare products. I bought most of them about 20 months ago, and most are marked 12M after opening. Unfortunately, I was dealing with a lot in my life and stopped taking care of my skin for a long time, so these products are still almost completely unused.

I’ve always kept them in a skincare mini fridge, and they still look completely normal—no change in smell, texture, color, or consistency.

The products are:
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Timeless 10% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum
La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair

Would you personally still use them, especially since they were barely used and refrigerated the entire time? I understand they may have lost some potency, but I feel terrible throwing away almost-full products if they’re still reasonably safe to use.
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who knows about cosmetic formulation/stability or has used skincare past the PAO date. 🥲
