As a male do you ever need anything more than sunscreen, moisturizer and cleanser?

Just keep yourself clean, that should take care of most things.
I use sun screen because I've had to deal with skin cancer before.
Basic is best, don't get caught up in any marketing hype.

I splash my face with cold water in the morning and that's it. My father did that, his father did that, and his father did that, and so on, from the very beginning of time. They all lived long and happy lives. Why should I do any different? Because some corporation wants to make money from selling their products which can make my face clearer, but in a way that is hardly noticeable? I've looked into skincare and have decided that it's just not worth it for me. People with really bad skin who could benefit from a good skincare routine would think otherwise, though.

I stand by my opinion that every single person should be using a retinoid.

Yup yup. Just hopped on tretinoin at age 24 and it’s made a big difference. I plan to stay on forever. Great progress if that’s you

Yes. Sometimes I have to take a razor blade and did out ingrown hairs. They get itchy like a mofo and bitches dig scars.

clean running water will do fine, if you are not a nord cuck or texas red, just get a tan once a year, it wont hurt

>> No.15955565

>>15954882
Pretty much no unless you have oily skin, which BHA helps with. People act like tret is this mandatory anti-aging thing but it's actually just a acne medication first. If you're maxxing out there's more shit you can add but everyone is an insecure nigger who can't stop rubbing ACV on their face so I don't bother with telling people now. I actually look younger now than I did 4 years ago.

Also cleanser should only be used once a day.

>> No.15956495

dont even use those, just rinse with water a lot + black scrub once a week

You shouldn't be using retinoids for such a mild case. Sunlight, sensible washing regimen and topical benzoyl peroxide and tetracycline would have been fine.

That’s just vitamin A. You could accomplish the same by eating liver a few times a month.
Most acne is not caused by dirt or grime. Kids are dirty as hell and have perfect porcelain skin.
Bad skin is hormonal or cause by bad nutrition.
Eat less sugar and vegetable/seed oils.
Eat more fatty meats and leafy vegetables. Get organic and pasture raised animal foods. Pasture raised eggs with some grass fed butter for breakfast every day and you will notice your skin clearing up, your fingernails getting thicker and harder, you hair growing faster and becoming softer, etc.

This is like having a problem with weeds in your garden so you decide to take a flamethrower to it.
99% of acne can be fixed with a better lifestyle and diet. The other 1% should just cut the bullshit and use accutane, the only thing that works.

don't consume too many processed sugars
eat a lot of fruit and vegetables
stay well hydrated
get a good night's sleep

there you go, you now have the perfect complexion.
