After roughly 6 plus months of angry skin, I finally have a routine that my skin is tolerating.

AM: Avene tolerance lotion, cleanser or sulfur cleanser, if experiencing breakouts, followed by prescription ivermectin, plated eye serum , the ordinary UV 45 serum and one skin tinted sunscreen when I want to wear “makeup”
PM: Avene cleanser, radiant tone eye cream, prescription Azaleic acid gel 15% ,
Prescription Pimecrolimus as needed
Marini laminate every other night

I want to tackle wrinkles, skin laxity and hollows from GLP.
I’m post Menopause, have rosacea and ocular rosacea, eczema, and live in Southern California . It was recommended I do sculptra and emface but I don’t have the budget for either. I cannot tolerate products with niacinamide .
I didn’t see much result with the plated serum for face but don’t know if it was because my skin was angry at the time I tried it.

Hi, it’s been almost 2 weeks. I’ve been using this moisturiser both in the morning and night after cleansing properly and sourced it from highfy so I’m pretty sure it’s original all I wanna know, is there anyone else who got breakouts from using this particular moisturiser specially whiteheads or closed comedones? If yes then please let me know how did you fix it and why is it happening?

I’m going on week 8 of Differin cream. I constantly would have clear skin - then break out all over my forehead. and this rotation has continued since I was 16. a year ago my skin was literally perfect. Then, in March, of course the pimples and comedones came back. I started Differin cream on June 19th. I have been through rotation of different topical creams, antibiotics, diary-free diets, sugar-free diets, and even went to a naturopath.

I went through a HORRENDOUS purge around weeks 4-6. I’m talking pimples all over my forehead, cheeks, chin, and even neck. The active pimples have now subsided (just red acne marks), but I have SOOO many closed comedones on my cheeks and forehead. I also use azeliac acid in the morning. I literally hate looking at myself in the mirror, makeup looks horrible on me. I don’t know if this is normal or WHEN for the love of god - will I have clear skin consistently. I am getting married next summer and I just REALLY need this to clear up as I literaly don’t want to leave the house. I’m so self-conscious and I don’t know if I should keep using it every night or now.

help? should I keep using it? and WHEN will this get better? sos. :(

Hi all! I received two vials of Radiesse injections and 6 vials of EZ Gel in my face and neck yesterday. I’ve been using Tretinoin .01% cream for a couple years now, so I am fully adjusted to it. My injector (who I have mad respect for, and have been going to her for years as well) told me that I could resume Tretinoin tonight. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge if she is correct with me resuming Tretinoin this evening?

Someone asked me recently about this brand but I can’t find the post so I’m starting a new chain here.

I met with the skin care brand ReQ yesterday. You all know how skeptical I can be but the science behind this and the data looks interesting. I’m tryin the ReQ serum on my legs and my staff is trying it so we can test in different skin types.

It’s a topical form of rapamycin. I’m working on a blog to explain the science. Basically it “gives exhausted fibroblasts a rest” so when they turn back in they are more effective. And it does not have the side effects of oral rapamycin. The science is too complicated to put here so stay tuned for a blog.

Is anyone here trying it? I have rosacea so wish me luck that it does not flare it. I really hope this works because it could be the next big thing in skincare if it does.

Hi Dr. Baumann, at night I am using Plated intense, then Alastin skin nectar, and then tretinoin. I started with only the plated and the Alastin for a couple weeks and when I started adding Tretinoin I got some red blotching, but I was planning to be adding gradually over time. But I then got itchy redness after doing the morning routine I had already been doing for 2 weeks (Alastin c radical and Essopi triple antioxidant cream and Elta md red color correcting sunscreen)— (I’ve used Tretinoin in the past but with Medature gel moisturizer under it) So I stopped the Tretinoin for about a week to see if it goes away and I’m wondering if I should either put Paorr Argan oil or Medature gel mosturizer in between one of the layers once I try adding Tret again. Or should I just continue slowly incorporating and it might stop doing this? I used to put Paorr Argan oil when I was using Plated alone because I would get some redness and we had talked about adding the Argan then. Thank you ahead!

I am prone to getting acnes very often and used benzoyl peroxide gel once and it worked amazing for me. I was thinking of getting it along with tretinoin gel too. I was thinking to use BP gel when i have acne spurts and use tretinoin for acne scars (possible every night). Is this the right combination? and can it have any side effects?

ps: my skin type is oily

What do you guys think about using cera ve moisturizing lotion cera ve foaming cleanser and tretinoin? Im contemplating between buying tretinoin as my active caused ive used it before but stopped cause of my barrier, or to get cera SA cleanser cause my face is like really textured. Currently my only routine is cera ve foaming cleanser and cera moisturizing lotion, what dp you guys think?

Not on the same nights but on the nights I don’t do differin

I’ve tried both, both are good cleansers.

I have blackheads, oily skin and am wondering which would be the better pick for morning.

I already use Dermamde meds wash at night.

Thanks :)
