r/Skincare_Addiction

For the past couple of months my skincare is continuously pilling. I’ve tried waiting extra time between steps, cutting things out, adding things in but nothing is working :(( and I haven’t been able to get my makeup to look quite right.

This is what I use in the mornings before makeup

- avene water spray
- Vichy 89 (only when I feel a bit dry)
- bubble vitamin c (open for suggestions cause I’m not in love with it)
- hydroboost fragrance free gel cream
- la Roche sunscreen or sometimes Clinique HA sunscreen

I initially thought that the La Roche sunscreen was the culprit so I got the Clinique one but no change. Where am I going wrong?!

any advice is greatly appreciated

I been seeing people putting a layer of maybe moisturiser or smt that clears out in the morning and says it helps w clear skin. Is it actually legit or they just making it up? If it helps please recommend what I should use

My skin itself is fine but I've noticed my face looks a lot more puffy when I wake up than it did a few years ago. I've tried sleeping on my back and cutting back on salty food before bed but the difference hasn't been huge. Was there anything skincare related that has helped you with morning puffiness? Products routines tools whatever. Just wanna know what worked for other people so pls throw it here , need the tips.

The only type of dark circles that get discussed are dark circles caused by thin skin and the only “treatments” that ever get mentioned are a cold compress,cold cucumbers or spoons or the classic “drink more water”. My dark circles are caused by pigmentation and nothing seems to help or make a difference. I have pale skin so my dark circles stick out like a sore thumb and i’m dying to get rid of them. What are things that will actually make a difference? I’ve already tried a vitamin C serum/eye cream and no luck. More sleep and water? No change. I’m too young to use retinol so i have not tried that out but surely there’s something else i can do to get rid of my dark circles. I’m sick of looking like a zombie and getting asked if i’m sick or if i slept enough. Any suggestions are appreciated.

i recently purchased the some by mi aha bha pha 30 days miracle body cleanser (mouthful of a name lol). if u have this, how do u incorporate it into ur routine? do u use it only on ur problem areas or the whole body? can i use it with my dial antibacterial soap (that's what i always use as my first cleanse) or should that be my only body cleanse?

the skin on my body isn't extremely sensitive but i started using prescription clindamycin cream on active spots so i'm a lil apprehensive with actives atm😭 i was prescribed this while my order with the body wash was in transit so if i knew i was gonna be using clindamycin i wouldn't have bought it but here we are haha. i used some tonight focusing on the areas i have active spots (chest and shoulders) then went in with my dial bar soap where i wanted to feel "squeaky clean" but i'm still debating on how i'm gonna use it moving forward

Which are some good moisturizers for oily sensitive skin, I've tried some but they gave me painful bumps(I'm just starting skincare)

I’ve used the physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy lotion and loved the waxy satin finish and how gentle it is. I was thinking of trying the Relief AI lotion this time but wanted to ask if it has the same texture and finish as DMT and if it’s effective under makeup. Also anyone who has used their Red Balance CICA Cream, and any suggestions on that? Thank you
