Does anyone have experience with moles? Most specifically how to make them lighter and/or flatter?

I have a couple that black hairs grow out of, is there any way to permanently kill those hairs?

Mainly looking for home remedies as going to the dermatologist is prohibitively expensive.

Is this "good enough" or is there something more I should be doing?

Side note, but what do you guys do about occasional acne? I have dry skin so I just don't apply product on it until it dries out, and the niacinamide helps with the post-acne redness, but I feel like this is probably unhealthy somehow.

That looks like a condition. Even if you don't moisturize it shouldn't flake this bad. What were you using? What was your skin like before going skincare and how long are you at it?

[Anonymous No.14526386]

>>14526132
I'm >>14526229 and I think that happens to me sometimes. Is it dry, flaky skin that's peeling off of your nose? If so, you should definitely use an exfoliant (chemical or physical) just to get the dead skin off. If it is just dead skin, by moisturizing it you're just gluing it back to your face.

before skincare it was really red and irritable (while the rest of my face was oily, since then my skintype has changed to dry all over my face) but I don't think it was flaking, I think it's flaking especially bad because I had a plaster of my nose for the week I wasn't moisturising it. I'm 8 months into skincare

it is dry flaking skin, tonights the night I usually use my exfoliant so I'm going to use it to get rid of the dead skin

[Anonymous No.14527987]

>Astronauts experience changes in their skin during spaceflight. SkinCare is designed to examine these changes and use the data collected to create a model for skin aging. This model can be used to create countermeasures to protect skin on Earth and in space.
>Space is no trip to the spa -- astronauts experience dry, itchy, thinning skin. For this investigation, researchers measured skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss, elasticity, and the fine structure on predetermined skin areas before, during, and after flight. One area was treated daily with a skin care emulsion. Measurements showed decreased skin elasticity, decrease in density of the skin fiber, thinning of the top skin layer, and prolonged molting of base layer cells, while the emulsion-treated area showed improved hydration. Further tests on more subjects are needed to determine general medical risks using skin physiological parameters and to minimize space-induced side effects on the skin.

I'd add a toner, moisturizer, and a treatment cream for acne. ideally most required would be treatment cream (w/ benzoyl peroxide or saliciyc acid) and moisturizer since these products dry out one's skin.
Personally I don't notice a big difference with washes alone however washes are good to help prevent after it's done with.

[Anonymous No.14530700]

I am a 19 yr female n my skin is fucking perfect due to these combination of products

1. Foaming cleanser, any brand - removes dirt , bad oils
2. African black soap - 2nd cleanser to brighten skin
3. Witch hazel toner- removes excess dirt, prevents acne, restores skin PH levels after using black soap
4. Anti acne serum - kills acne causing bacteria
5. Hydrologic acid - reduces wrinkles and helps skin restore itself
6. Brightening eye cream - slowly over time 'bleaches' the dark circles away
7. Night moisturizer (EVEN IF DAY)- helps bring back moisture into skin as acne based treatments are very drying
8. Green tea mist to calm skin- reduces redness
9. SPF if day. No SPF if zzzz - no matter how dark you are you need to wear SPF ... ESPECIALLY IF YOU DRIVE
10. makeup if needed - don't be afraid to wear natural looking makeup if you're a man . A bit of concealer and eyebrow product can can your whole look, but if you don't have a good base to work with makeup will not be able to hide that.

). if you want something cheap, just go through this and the previous thread for choices (or maybe check the damn sticky for once, even if outdated it's a solid starting point), pretty sure someone already said The Ordinary moisturizer is like $7 or something, and cetaphil face wash is pretty cheap too. if you wanna learn, buying in-person at places is a good start, especially if they have attendants who are willing to speak about the whole routine and why this works or that works. yes they're paid and yes they're trying to sell you something, but at least these products are the ones that they work with and have some level of knowledge about, and usually they end up telling you what works for them even if it's not a product they're selling anyways.

Has anybody here ever dealt with burns before? I recently received some second degree burns on my face from sulfuric acid in an accident at work.

[Anonymous No.14531479]

>>14531432
Starting early with hydration is necessary for scars to heal. So moisturizers, occlusives should be used. Humectants such as hyaluronic acid help to increase moisture retention as well aiding in healing.
There are also specialized creams to treat scaring but they are not all that cheap (e.g. dermatix, kelo cote). I found ebay auctions to be cheapest way to get them though, the price can be shaved off by up to a half if you're lucky. The first one I listed besides having plenty of silicone occlusives also has a vitamin C derivative to normalize the tone of the skin.

Thinking of using dermarolling to help heal my old acne scars, how's this for a plan:
1) Wash skin with soapy water and exfoliate
2) Soak 0.5mm derma roller in rubbing alcohol
3) Apply to skin in star patterns, while avoiding active acne
4) Apply moisturizer with spf blocking
5) Wash dermaroller in rubbing alcohol again
6) Repeat once a week

[Anonymous No.14532473]

Here's a list of in vivo proven ingredients in order of importance/density of research for anons looks to start/progress.

>S Tier: Absolutely everyone should have and use.

SPF 50+ PA++++ or SPF 50+ PPD 16+ sunscreen. Ideally water, sweat, and sebum resistant. Ideally reef safe. Ideally contains Tinosorb M and/or Tinosorb S Aqua for optimal UVA 1 protection.
A Tier: The bare essentials of a skincare routine.

Non foaming, pH balanced cleanser.

Moisturizer. Ideally with humectant, emollient, and occlusive ingredients.

>B Tier: A complete skincare routine. Addresses all skincare basic goals such as thorough, gentle cleansing, both hydration and moisturization, and transepidermal water loss prevention.

Oil cleanser.

Hydrating toner.

Occlusive for PM routine, such as Vaseline or Aquaphor.

>C Tier: Skincare hobbyist and enthusiast who wants to go the extra mile for their skin to look its best.

Retinoid.

Chemical exfoliant.

Vitamin C.

>D Tier: Bells and whistles. Adding products for incorporating new ingredients or just reinforcing goals such as reducing acne, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, post inflammatory erythema, fine lines and wrinkles, etc etc.

Sheet masks.

First treatment essences (FTEs), an example of incorporating a product for ferment ingredients.

Serums such as Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion, an example of incorporating a product to increase hydration which was already addressed by B tier's hydrating toner.

Acne treatment such as azelaic acid or benzoyl peroxide, an example of incorporating a product to get rid of acne which was already addressed by C tier's retinoid and chemical exfoliant.

You need sun fool but first you need to address your other serious problems. Based on your skin you look young which means you need to work a little more strictly to keep your skin tidy. Use a light cleanser like Cetaphil and whatever toner you can afford. Also oily skin is begging for a moisturizer (specific to face obviously). Then use an SPF 25-35 (also for face!!!!) and get a little sun (just a little, 20-30 minutes or you'll set yourself up for wrinkles)

I don't have dry skin normally, just after using a retinoid. I don't feel like cerave is anything to write home about. It feels like it just sits on top and doesn't help w retinoid induced dryness.

Current routine:

AM
>Cetaphil Cleanser
>Stratia C+C (vit c)
>Kikumasamune toner
>Strata Liquid Gold (finished it, dont like it that much)
>Altruist Sunscreen (highly recommend)

PM
>Oil Cleanser (if makeup)
>Cetaphil Cleanser
>Retin A (0.05%)
>Stratia Niacinamide
>Cerave in the tub (pls give new rec)

Also Drunk Elephant 25% aha + 2% bha facial 2x a week

What products should I use to get rid of these seeming hundreds closed comedones? I've been using a cerave cleanser for oily skin, a neutrogena salicylic acid wash, and a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash. Also use a prescribed tretinoin as well as a erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide gel that I alternate. All that helps not get big pimples and such but I've had pretty much no progress with these comedones. Any help would be much appreciated :/

If you can handle it, then sure. I can't see how using so many strong actives so frequently could be good for your skin tho, you could be fucking up your moisture barrier. Do you actually see any benefit from using such a strong AHA twice a week, rather than once a week?

[Anonymous No.14536683]

I haven't used all too many creams but Eucerin's Urea Repair Rich was the thickest. So much so that I had to relearn how to apply a moisturizer, covering the face with what seemed to be the same amount of a normal moisturizer actually proved to be too much many times. Even when I apply less it takes easily two hours to absorb and not feel sticky.
>>14535863
That is pretty cheap, generally I'd expect zinc oxide sunscreens to cost more for that amount.
>>14535900
Most of that comes from consciously stopping the touch and moving the hand away. Some of those I allow through because I still find it important to check on the condition of a pimple when there are no mirrors around or just feel the smoothness of the skin. Those still have to be limited.
Another habit that I changed was to rest the head on hands right under the chin rather than holding above it or on the cheek.
>>14535957
Wash, tret, benzoyl, then moisturize. Make sure each product absorbs and doesn't stick to the fingers before applying the next. Tretinoin can be used with benzoyl just fine.
>Is oatmeal and honey soap a good soap for my face (pic related)?
Some of the reviews do mention using it for the face but because it's a soap I'd probably check the alkalinity with a test strip first. You really don't want any alkaline stuff interacting with your face which can fuck shit up considerably.

all of a sudden i broke out and whenever i try popping any of the pimples (bad idea, i know) plasma (i think?) oozes out instead of blood.
like, there literally isn't any blood at all, and when it dries up it's not like a scab or anything, it's just barely stuck to my face. and the worst part is that the same thing happened on my shoulders and my thighs, which has never happened before. i got really sick around the same time so i was out cold for a day or two and forgot to take a shower, but i think the first few pimples appeared before that so it's not because of bad hygiene or anything. any ideas

I moisturize morning and evening with Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, and cleansing with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser prior to the lotion.

Getting sick in the gut can lead to pimples forming, at least that's what happened to me a week ago when I got some food poisoning and broke out acrros the forehead.
Benzoyl peroxide took care of most of them but it's important to apply it right at the onset to reverse the pimples from developing further. Inspecting the skin both in the morning and in the evening is necessary.
>>14538641

>I never go outside so why use sunscreen
Unless you are located in a dungeon with no natural light coming through then yes you don't need it. Otherwise windows only block UV-B while letting UV-A rays easily through which then affect the deeper layers of the skin. Depending on the material curtains can hold off some of that, but something light and full of tiny woven holes probably doesn't help much.
>I got an oily face so why moisturize?
By providing the required level of moisture a moisturizer can help to minimize sebum production. Obviously for oily skin a light formula is needed to easen absorbtion.
>What is a toner, exfoliator and astringent and which of them do I need
>toner
Toner is a texture so anything can be a toner.
>exfoliator
Physical exfoliants and chemical AHA exfoliants help to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, thereby removing dead skin cells and other dirt. In the case of AHAs skin cell replication rate increases so any temporary skin conditions should come and go faster (such as pimples), long term use can help to thicken the skin and increase collagen production.
Chemical BHA exfoliants are meant to exfoliate the inside lining of the pores so they are good to fight acne and regulate sebum production. This type of exfoliant is the one recommended for oily skin.

She's not derm, they don't know crap about how to read skincare ingredients, i know I worked in pharmacy, especially people who just sell shelf products, they usually have to push products they've been told to recommend or they just get whatever they see available.
What you have currently will dry out your skin in a bad way the toner is pure shit and followed by a bad drying cream, your skin will end up producing even more oil because you wrecked all the skin barrier.
If you still can't afford differin, buy non fragrant neutrogena yellow bottle wash with 2% SA, leave on for 2-3min, followed by not too thick moisturizer and yes cerave makes excellent barrier repair products, there are other good similar drugstore moisturizers just have to know how to read them, apply to damp skin.
You don't need 10% benzoyl peroxide, 2.5% to 5% works just as well without peeling
apply BP on dry skin only when all moisturizer absorbed, apply and massage areas
you breakout most, avoid eyes.
You really don't need to over wash your skin, twice a day is the most you need.

Here's the secret to good skin:

Go into the woods and dig up a semi-moist patch of soil, then rub it all over. You need the good ammonia eating bacteria to be part of your skin microbiome.
After that, shower only with water or you will get rid of the good bacteria colony within a couple showers. You can use products for hands, feet, armpits and the crotch area, just never go full body so the good bacteria can thrive.

Anti-microbial and improves circulation. It doesn't matter if you leave it on overnight assuming you don't glop it on. Most of the recipes you'll find suggest a 2:1 ratio of honey to cinnamon, though in my experience, I just mixed them until they thickened up more. You can leave it on for however long you want instead of overnight. Just give it time to do its magic before cleaning off with your cleanser and applying toner/moisturizer, or whatever you do before bed.

CeraVe doesn't have a single bad product

So I have this problem, like in pic related, where the area around my mouth is whiter than the rest of my face.
Did anyone else have this problem and fixed it?

Opinions on red light therapy for skincare?

I have the cleanser and the ultra facial cream, both are pretty great. cleanser feels good and smells like lavender + can be used 2x a day by less sensitive people, and the moisturizer definitely feels like it's doing its job despite how relatively quick it seems to absorb. I also tried the spot treatment acne thing, which if you know anything about sulfur based stuff it's guaranteed to work, though I do think you can prob get any alternative for cheaper. dunno if they've a toner, and if they do I haven't tried it.

cleanser is to get general debris/excess oil off your face in a gentler manner, as opposed to exfoliating which will remove everything in a slightly harsher manner. exfoliator should only be used roughly once a week unless you're somehow prone to being filthy or build up a ton of shit real fast, that's why cleanser is used on a near daily basis to take care of the more general stuff.

toner is optional, but recommended -- its purpose is to, as the name states, tone, which can be anything from shrinking pores to lifting skin to a couple other things (some toners are also borderline exfoliators themselves, if you get any of those I'd recommend using them exclusively at night unless you think your sunblock can overcompensate for it). I'd say look around at toners and think about what you'd want out of one if you got one.

splashing your face with water alone is both unnecessary and more likely to fuck you over than not -- all it does is shift the oil and any bacteria that might be on there, as well as dry out the skin but moisturizer already counters that last part. some people are luckier with genetics and get skin that won't get fucked over at all despite doing this, but if you're not amongst those people then cleanser is recommended, plus it feels really good to have clean skin.

careful with schmidt's, it works like a charm but it also tends to cause horrible chemical burns on all but the toughest of skin. there's guides out there to make it gentler but I doubt most people here would go the distance for that.

learn to look up chemicals, look up reviews, have an idea of what works with your skin which is a lot of trial and error.

SK is the best worldwide, ask around at a shop or look up vids from reviewers. cheaper if you can get directly.

can someone redpill me on dermarolling and if it actually works? I have a couple tiny craters that I'd love to see gone without having to pay out the ass for surgery.

Is there a recommended review site? Can I really trust x product review? Maybe its just paid shills saying good stuff and its actually bad.
As for chemicals this is my first time so I wouldn't know which works for my skin. Or are there chemicals which are recommended to have in all cleansers, moistureizers and sunscreens. If so what are they?
