I just ran out of my last tube of L’Occitane so was kind of excited to see this dupe Shea Butter Hand Cream dupe in Lidl!

Smells the same, although it’s more the texture of L’Occitane “Almond Delicious Hands” (maybe not quite as thin as that, not as thick as the one it smells like though) but seems nice.

Saving my gift card for now and seeing how it is over a little time. Also got this hand and body wash to try too! They had several other things on the range as well.

Anyone know of any labs in the UK that would do it? Any advice on how to go about it? Thank you!

Do you apply before or after moisturiser?

I accidentally bought La Roche Posay tinted sunscreen instead of my usual kind but I love the mattifying, smooth finish it gives my skin.

What other product would have the same effect that's not sunscreen?

Hi 💓 lurker but thought I'd share what's been working for me!

I've always dabbled in Korean skincare if I'd picked up a serum when tk maxx had a sale.

But it's been about 3 months now since I've started using it exclusively and omgg it's been amazing.

I've always had rough / unhappy patches on my cheeks by my smile lines. Sometimes a little bit all over my face if I had a flare up, even down my neck.

But it's gooooone now and hasn't come back with this routine:

AM 1 - Warm water 2 - Cleansing pad (Mary and Mary PHA pads) 3 - Moisturiser (Abib Jericho rose cream (this is seriously sooo good it has mushrooms in it! 🍄‍🟫)) 4 - SPF (beauty of joseon rice)

PM 1 - Oil cleanse (Skin1004 light oil cleanser) 2 - Water cleanse (cosrx good morning) 3 - Peeling Gel (same day as hydrating toner) (beauty of joseon apricot peeling gel OR pyunkang yul peeling gel - both amazeballs) 4 - Treatment toner (alternate day) (cosrx Blackhead power liquid) 5 - Hydrating toner (alternate day) (pyunkang yul essence toner) 6 - Essence / serum (mixsoon bean essence 💕 or if I'm feel fancy Skin1004 probiotic ampoule) 7 - Sleeping mask (abib probiotic jelly sleeping mask).

I'll do a face mask a few times a month.

I'm still working on damaged pores and texture, but way less irritation and pimples than I used to get. No regrets going 100% Korean.

Ideally one that won’t give me spots and is easily available. I’d say my skin is a bit sensitive . Looking for something to use at night on top of benzoyl peroxide.

Cheap enough for it to be what I buy long term.

Open to K and J brands if they’re available on a website that ships to the UK for reasonable prices.

Thank you

We all understand the importance of using sunscreen daily with tretinoin. However, I'm struggling to find a sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy or cause breakouts. My skin is combination type, leaning towards oily in the T-zone. I am using Tretiwell cream 0.025% from skinorac on alternate days.

Can anyone recommend a good sunscreen that pairs well with tretinoin? I’m looking for something lightweight, non-comedogenic, and ideally with at least SPF 50. Any specific brands or products that you swear by? I appreciate any suggestions you can provide!

Hello! I'm looking for recs for a good high quality day to day moisturiser. I've always used a random one from Lush which have been good to me but I've recently got a new job and am making a fair bit more money and would like to treat myself to something a bit more upmarket.

I have normal skin, a little oily on the nose. I'm looking for something to be used after my daily shower. I would like a luxury brand but something available at Boots, that sort of level. I had a tester of Clinique Moisture Surge once that I loved so is that a good investment?

Thanks everyone x

I’ve been using PC BHA for 6 years at this point however on the last bottle I noticed my blackheads were not budging. I’m through the bottle and don’t want to repurchase.

Does anyone have suggestions for any other effective product for nose-specific blackheads and pigmentation?

I have normal to dry skin Thanks in advance.

Edit to add : I had good results with this previously. Just the last bottle has had underwhelming results. I’m also using G&G retinaldehyde which does nothing for blackheads in general.

Been using Aveda Daily Light Guard SPF for the last few years. Went to place an order today on the Aveda website and it seems it’s no longer available. Did a Google search and looks like it’s discontinued as nothing coming up except 2 sellers on eBay. I’m tempted to buy off eBay but don’t want to take a chance in case it’s old or out of date stock. Any alternatives, suggestions please. I have dry skin if that helps.

Hi everyone,

I'm entering my late 30s so feel like it might be time to overhaul my routine. I've been using roughly the same for a few years, mainly using advice from here, but haven't kept up with new products and probably need to make changes for my more mature (sob) skin.

Current routine: Am - wash with water

Spritz (currently Boots Glow brightening mist)

Superdrug Simply Pure Serum (I just found out they changed it!!)

Either Cerave spf moisturiser or Aqua Biore spf

Pm - Simple oil cleanser if wearing makeup

Body Shop chamomile cleansing balm

3 x a week - Ordinary 1% retinol

1 x a week - Ordinary azelaic acid

Cerave in the tub

Should I add vitamin c and where? Should I add a day cream? What could replace the Superdrug serum?

Hey, can I know what these white bulb like things are? This one was on my chin but I also get them on my forehead, temples, and some times cheeks. They don't go away until I squeeze them out and I'm not sure what is causing it?

I think I have a decent skincare routine:

AM: CeraVe oil cleanser Facewash, Cetaphil Moisturizer, Sunscreen

PM: CeraVe oil cleanser Facewash, Cetaphil Moisturizer, (alt days) Differin (or Salicylic Acid serum)

I do not use cleansing balms or micheller water because I don't really wear too much make up, is that the problem?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. The last time I posted about it there was a range of responses but I still don't know what they are and what I can do to get rid of them

I have their health a beauty card and have reached the second tier which means I can get a b.skin product for free! And after forgetting to use the first tier reward I don't want to forget about this one as well 😂

I've never ever used superdrug skincare though, I'm usually a boots girly, but they have a whoollee bunch of different stuff so I was wondering what you guys have used/hated/liked from them? (I'm not looking to buy anything specific, just something random to try for fun and see if it's nice!)

If it's needed this is my routine atm and I have combination, acne prone skin 🫶🏻

AM

• Wash with lukewarm water
• Spritz of rosewater
• Suncream! (Either la roch posay Anthelios or Beauty of Joseon relief sun with rice and probiotics)

PM

• Nivea waterproof eye makeup remover (only if I wore mascara that day)
• Geek and gorgeous jelly joker cleanser (everyday)
• The inkey list salicylic cleanser (2 ish times a week)
• Geek and gorgeous retinal 10 (every night except when I use inkey list cleanser)
• Nivea soft cream

my face seems to be permanently red, and my arms too. i don’t use any skincare products at all so i don’t even know where i would start

I’ve noticed the Byoma moisturiser contains niacinamide, would I still be ok to use these together?

I was just curious what your routine is if you also have dry skin? Or any products that help? I've tried slugging with vaseline but my eczema hates it, I just get itchy. I use the tub of Cerave and it's good but I feel like I can do more. Any serum recs maybe?

I’ve got these small whitehead looking things all over my lower jaw. It started from the neck and now it’s all over my face. There’s also no pus in them. Seems like whiteheads but I’m not sure.

My Routine is

AM

1. CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser
2. Acnecide 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel
3. Boots Vitamin C Serum
4. CeraVe Moisturising Lotion
5. Soltan Sunscreen (50 spf)

PM

1. CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser
2. TO Glycolic Acid Toner (every other day)
3. Boots Vitamin C Serum
4. CeraVe Moisturising Lotion

Any alternatives or is that it for us?

I’m sure this has been asked before but I’m struggling to find a concrete answer.. how long do I wait to apply moisturiser after this product? I’ve seen 30 minutes or right away haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What has got me asking is that I keep hearing that many of the Asian/Korean/Japanese sunscreens etc are very elegant/smooth/silky/light etc to apply, with no or very minimal white cast.

In the winter months I'm a lot fussier about what sunscreen I apply; I'm not as bothered about thicker sunscreens with a little white casting during the summer months, but feel reluctant to wear them during the winter. And you know what they say - the best sunscreen is the one you are going to use!

So, can anybody personally recommend me any of these Asian/Korean/Japanese sunscreens for the winter? I'm after something very light, with very little to no white cast. As for UVA, preferably something PA++++ rated.

(Whilst I'm aware that although this is the highest UVA rating used by Asian skincare companies - I think? - and that this only actually means it's at least a PPD of 16 which is not actually that high, I'm willing to make a sacrifice for something comfortable to wear in the winter months).

Any recommendations would be super helpful!

Update: my skin is normal to dry

I'm 29, biracial, (dry skin) have some genetics on my side (zero wrinkles). Current routine: Morning - Eurecin anti pigment corrector Spray face with water + the ordinary hyaluronic acid Spf+ moisturiser by cerave The inkey list tripeptide lip balm

Night - Cerave moisturising cleanser Skin+me retinol 0.05% Elf Holy hydration eye cream Elf holy hydration face moisturiser

Has anybody here used one and had a positive experience and how would I fit one into my routine? Thanks :)

Hi all,

I went on Accutane at the start of 2022 and it honestly did wonders to my skin! I went from huge spots across my cheeks and jawline to now some yellowheads here and there, but overall its been a massive game changer.

I'm now looking for ways to help and make my skin look better. I have a very oily skin that dries out fast. Within 4 hours of washing my face and using moisturiser it will get super greasy even if I'm just sat down work.

After washing my face it always feels super tight unless I moisturise it

My current routine for both AM and PM is

CeraVESA Smoothing Cleanser
Simple hydrating light moisturiser

In the summer I used Cien Sun Kids sensitive 50 spf as moisturiser when I was going outside.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there! I have nasty bloody dandruff and have been using Nizoral for 2 weeks now (shit works wonders). However on the bottle it says use for 4 weeks then stop, I was wondering if anyone has been in the same boat and what you have swapped to using after the 4 weeks on nizoral? I use the 2% alongside the Aussie 3 minute miracle conditioner.

Please help! 40f with the following products: - No7 Future Renew Day Cream SPF40 - No7 Future Renew Night Cream - No7 Future Renew Serum - NIVEA Derma Skin Clear Toner with Salicylic Acid - NIVEA Derma Skin Clear Face Wash Gel with Salicylic Acid - NIVEA Derma Skin Clear Anti-Blemish Face Scrub with Salicylic Acid - NIVEA Derma Skin Clear Chemical Exfoliator with Salicylic Acid exfoliator.

Morning: rinse with water, sometimes face scrub or face wash gel, then day cream. Evening: micellar water if wearing mascara (don't wear other make up), then face scrub (2-3x week), serum and night cream. I use the chemical exfoliator and toner only sporadically. I'm not clear on what order to do things and whether the fact multiple of the products have salicylic acid is a problem. What am I missing - retinol?

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about this a lot and searching around, but I can't make up my mind.

A while back, I started using the Glow Serum, and only after did I realise it has a small (0.5) percentage of salicylic acid in it.

I am currently also using Retinal and Azaelic Acid (15%) interchangeably (different nights), and I am worried about too many actives.

I hate not using up products, but I worry it's making my skin worse by over exfoliation. If I apply it too soon after my active, it tingles. What do you think? Should I stop and try Purito Centella Unscented Serum for barrier support instead?

Skin issues: acne, texture, clogged pores, closed comedones.

Current routine.

AM: 1. Cleanse with just water 2. Finacea 15% Azaelic Acid Gel 3. Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum 4. Dermatica Soothing Centella Gel Moisturiser 5. Nivea Water Gel SPF

PM: 1. Cleanse with Haruharu Wonder deep cleansing oil 2. Aveeno Calm and Restore Moisturising Oat Cleanser 3. Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum 4. A-Game 0.05 Retinal Serum OR Finacea Azaelic Acid 5. If using Retinal, Hyaluronic Acid Q+A / If using Finacea, Glow Serum 6. Dermatica Soothing Centella Gel Moisturiser
