@MaryJAK , They Pretty Much Have The Same Things Available @ CVS And @ Walgreens 😉 So #NotReally hahahaha

@TeamBIC , Can Someone Log In And Cross Off " Week 8 " So It Doesn't Look Like We're Amateurs 🙂 #Hey #HowsItHanging

Hey, I know how frustrating sensitive skin with dark spots can be. I’ve been dealing with the same thing, but this routine has really helped. Morning: The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, dark spot serum, Caudalie moisturizer, and sunscreen from The Ordinary.Evening: Cleanser again, Caudalie moisturizer, and once a week The Ordinary AHA/BHA serum. My skin feels calmer, softer, and my dark spots are fading.

Hi @ItsMeEhh, I have the same thing. My dermatologist classified it as a specific type of acne called fungal acne, also known as Malassezia folliculitis. They kind of look like clusters of small, uniform red bumps and rarely include whiteheads. It mainly occurs due to infection of your hair follicles caused by an overgrowth of the yeast that naturally occurs on our skin. Some recommendations would be making sure to change your pillowcase often, washing your face after sweating, and obviously using non-comedogenic products. However, many standard acne products do not work and will only lead to further inflammation. Try looking for facial products like Ketoconazole cream, or with squalane, mineral oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid.

Hi @Myra2287 ! Got a few questions for you: By “texture,” do you mean bumpy skin? Or is it dry flakes, or scaly skin? Or, are you talking about fine lines/wrinkles?Do you know what’s causing the texture? Maybe you have a skin condition you’ve seen a dermatologist or other doctor about? (You don’t have to name the specific condition if you’d rather not; I mean, that’s your medical info.)What skincare products (brand + product name) do you normally use under your eyes? This includes moisturizer and/or sunscreen. Many people (including me) have little bumps under their eyes, usually in the tear troughs. My undereyes (especially under my right eye) also get very dry and flakey. If I don’t hydrate and moisturize the heck outta my undereyes, my concealer won’t blend well. I’d rather not recommend any products without knowing answers to those 3 questions I asked. That info might also help other folks make suggestions. 🙂

@GoofyNanner I was using Bio Oil during my pregnancies and have faint stretch marks near my belly button. I also used Mama Mío Tummy Rub butter.

Okay ty, good idea to use it as a highlighter 👍😁

me gustaria que me recomendaras un producto a base retinol que me ayude con las manchas, colageno, textura de la piel y luminosidad para uso noche

@mehakvirk A few questions for you: What products have you already tried that aren’t working?Are you using something that contains at least 2% salicylic acid (BHA)?Have you seen a dermatologist or primary care doctor about your skin? I recommend doing that, especially since you mentioned lots of skin damage. A derm or other medical doc can diagnose your skin and give you personalized treatment options. Visible (“open”) pores are a normal thing for many people. Some of us have larger or smaller looking pores than other folks, and that’s okay! My skin’s mostly-dry combo: my oily zone’s on and around my nose, and that’s where all my visible pores are. I can’t “close” those pores because pores don’t physically open and close. But sometimes they look larger than usual because excess gunk (dead skin and sebum) clog ‘em up and stretch them wider. To prevent that, I use a salicylic acid exfoliant a couple times a week to keep those pores clear. This doesn’t magically erase or “close” those pores; they’ll always be visible. Since pores are a normal feature of human skin, I’m fine with that.
