   [Routine Help] How do I get rid of these dark spots? - I've always had trouble with things like my pores but I feel as though I had really nice skin a couple of years ago. Now it's mostly okay with some dark spots. I don't know how to get rid of them and it is bugging me. One of them is from an attempt to not scratch it. In the sense that I didn't pop it but it's just there now. Idk about the other ones. Just wanna know what I should do since I want my skin looking normal again. On the off chance I do want contacts again. Also I do have that one serum but I don't know if it's working for me. P.S. I circled the spots

   Considering the number of intense ingredients you're using, you will have to be very cautious introducing new products. You are probably limited to options that are pretty mild until you stop using the Tretinoin. Niacinamide, in concentrations of 3% to 5% would be an option, but you don't need a separate product for that as it's contained in that amount in quite a few moisturizers. Speaking of moisturizers, the Lipikar AP+M Triple repair you're using has way too much Shea Butter in it for acne-prone skin. Shea butter clogs pores in people who are acne-prone and could potentially be contributing to the pore issues you're describing. So switch your moisturizer to one without shea butter and also make sure the ingredients don't contain petrolatum or any ingredient with "wax" in the name either. Alternate options for moisturizers for your skin type would be: La Roche Posay Double Repair, Dieux Skin Air Angel (sold at Sephora), Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer, or Prequel AM/PM Modern Moisturizer. If the tretinoin is causing a lot of dryness for you, you might need to layer 2 different moisturizing products. For example, hydrating serum + moisturizer --or-- hydrating face mist + moisturizer --or-- lightweight moisturizer + thicker moisturizer (but making sure that it doesn't include the before mentioned pore clogging ingredients). Every dermatologist I've talked to says that 10% BP is too intense for a cleanser, they say that the 4% to 6% work just as good but are less drying and irritating to skin. Can you switch to a lower percentage cleanser? Something that works just as well as BP, but maybe even better is sulfur. Like BP, sulfur reduces the bacteria on your face, but unlike BP, sulfur also reduces the fungus on your face -- and either can trigger acne. Plus, it's more soothing and gentle than BP too. There are sulfur face cleansers, but the mask products seem to be more effective. The Topicals brand Clarifying + Calming Mask (sold at Sephora) is great. You could use that twice/week and as a result you could use your BP cleanser less frequently. \~A sulfur mask may also help with your pore issues because they tend to have ingredients that extract excess oil/sebum out of the skin as they dry.

   [Acne] How I have clear skin after 17 years! 🎉 success story - Hey All! I wanted to share my routine that finally helped me get clear skin after having horrible acne and scars since I was like 12. I am now 29 years old. I've done everything short of taking prescription acne meds over my struggle. I went to several derms when I was a teenager, Ive used several different sets of prescriptions creams, gels, cleansers, etc. I've had laser face treatments done that shrink your pores. I was put on birth control for a decade, which I am no longer on. And of course I've tried all the advice I could find on the internet, but nothing truly worked. I know acne is caused by different things for everyone, but maybe someone out there will have the same issue I did and my routine will help them as well. The biggest thing that changed my face is zinc. I know that is not NEW news to a lot of people but for some reason I heard about it too and did not try it all these years. This alone fixed like 90% of the acne on my face, so if you don't want to read the rest of the post let that be your takeaway. I was always told that I had hormonal acne but that was just not the case. Ive spent years trying to "fix" my hormones when there was nothing wrong with them in the first place. I never had any other symptoms of misaligned hormones, just acne. Every single one of my breakouts always had a hard keratin plug in it, even the cystic acne that I would get on my jawline. So if you find that your acne also follows that type, I really urge you to try taking some zinc. Zinc basically makes the keratin less sticky and so it slips out of the pore way more easily, instead of getting stuck and then infected and then turning into a pimple. Vitamin C helps produce collagen which just further aids this process. I've listed below everything that I use and tiered it out from what REALLY WORKED to what just kind of supported or polished off the results. Here's my routine as well, it is very simple but has worked unlike anything else. Routine: In the Morning: Mist > TO niacinamide + zinc serum > Mist > Apply Primally Pure antioxidant balm > Mist > Done. After this I either wear nothing or use Primally Pure's sun cream which is also tinted so I count that as my makeup. Before Bed: I slather my face in Hemp oil and massage just a little bit but mostly just let it sit for a couple mins. This will remove my makeup if Im wearing any or will just be part of my oil cleansing routine if Im bare faced. After that I wash the hemp oil off with Primally Pure's clarifying bar. I didn't see anything special about this bar so honestly just use whatever your favorite cleanser is. If Im wearing makeup I will go back in with the clarifying bar cleanser again and use the Foreo Luna this time. This part really helps my sebaceous filaments and rough skin on my nose/chin/jawline. After that I will do the same routine as the morning. Mist > TO niacinamide serum > Mist > Primally Pure antioxidant balm > Mist > Done. Daily: Take 30mg Zinc and 1000mg of Vitamin C TL:DR Holy Grail Tier: \- 30mg Zinc supplement everyday Absolute Necessity Tier: \- 1000mg Vitamin C supplement everyday \- The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc \- Primally Pure Antioxidant Balm (or something super moisturizing with topical vitamin C) Fine Tuning Tier: \- Foreo Luna Mini 4 (GREAT for sebaceous filaments and naturally large pores) \- Oil Cleansing with Hemp Oil only (to remove makeup but also to unclog pores) \- 100% Pure's Rose water mist (or any mist with rose water + hyaluronic acid) \- "7 Skins" philosophy, which also helps serums to absorb more Honorable Mention Tier: \- Changing out your pillowcase every night (just go buy like 10 pillow cases so you can switch them out every night for a little over a week to get you to laundry day) \- Adjusting your diet to eat healthy + clean (This is only this low because I know most people try this first thing) \- Only washing face 1 time a day before bed \- TO Salycylic acid for spot treatment when needed. I dont use this daily. \- Primally Pure's clarifying bar cleanser \- Lemon water! (Probably because its just a natural source of vitamin C, but its refreshing in the morning so why not) The Devil Tier: \- Any and all forms of omega 3's (I dont know why! Literally any form or source will give me crazy cystic acne)

   Can you visit a dermatologist doctor where you live? That would be the best idea. Sometimes hormones play a big factor in adult acne and only prescription treatments will address that. Also, please check the ingredients of the moisturizers or creams you use on your face. If you see the ingredients like Butyrospermum parkii (also called shea butter), petrolatum, or any ingredient with "wax" in the name, don't use it on your face. Those will clog pores for people who are acne-prone or who have oily skin. You can use toners or serums with Salicylic Acid every day, once per day. So try increasing use of that. Most people having bad reactions to exfoliants are using strong AHAs, such as Glycolic Acid, too frequently. Salicylic Acid works different and affects skin differently than AHAs like Glycolic.

   Peptides for lines. I like 100% Matrixyl 3000 from Forest of the Borges. To minimize pores, try a betonite clay mask.
