What's your skincare routine currently?

I actually spent the other week taking stock of how my current routine was working and deciding if I needed to change anything, so I have a lot to say on this

AM:

Wash face with water

(extra step for wintertime) Avène thermal water

Serum with antioxidants and niacinamide: just switched from facetheory Colloidal-C Anti-Redness Toner, which I got in hope of reducing redness (did nothing for me) back to facetheory’s Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, which actually makes my skin look great. It has 5% niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, which is what I want – I just would like extra perks (anti-redness). An alternative I’m considering is the Isntree Onion Newpair Gel cream.

(extra step if my skin is feeling very dry i.e. what I use during winter) hydrating serum: I’ve just finished Avène Hydrance Serum which I found very hydrating though too light weight (i.e. not good for winter for me) and honestly it lasted so little that I won’t buy it again. My go to instead is snail mucin: Mizon’s Snail Repair Ampoule (best formula but not so much product, what I’m currently using); or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence (best bang for your buck, though my pump was really bad)

Alpha-arbutin: most recent addition to my skincare & it seems to be making a difference when it comes to discoloration (PIE). I’m using Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum, mostly because this was the only product I could find here in Norway.

Caffeine for my undereye: I’m using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – while I can say it’s infinitely better than what The Ordinary offers (because why would you use a dropped for something that goes around the eyes!!), I can’t tell if I’m seeing results or not, despite using it for almost three months. Maybe?

Moisturizer: Eucerin 5% Urea Repair, my holy grail of all time. I buy this by the litre. Since I entered my mid-20s, my skin has turned dry. Combined with drier winters and the heating I have to put on to survive winter, this is the only thing that makes my skin stay intact.

Sunscreen: probably controversial, but I actually don’t wear sunscreen everyday, as the amount of light I get is ridiculous (though I do in the summer or if there is snow). Over the past year, I tried several ones and my top two choices are Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief (cannot fault a single thing and I found it to be good value for money based on how long it lasted me) and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (jury is out on whether the onion extract actually helps me, but I found the texture to be perfect for me and it actually ensures I apply a proper amount since it’s not too runny)

Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment: amazing!! This has been so far the only thing that helped with redness. I haven’t worn foundation in a year and it’s only because of this. I don’t even think it’s that expensive because I spent 30£ for a 50 ml jar which lasts me six months of daily use. Love it.

PM:

My routine is the following:

Double cleanse: I’ve been liking a lot the Beauty of Jonseon Cleansing Balm – so far the best cleansing product I’ve tried. Micellar water is a no for me, as I don’t like using cotton pads. Oils are mostly ok as an alternative, with iUnik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil being my failsafe (but it doesn’t remove 100% of my mascara).   Next, I use a foaming cleansing gel. My go-to used to be Neutrogena Clear & Defend, but it keeps being sold out, so I’m now using  CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It works fine. My main criteria here is price tbh.

facetheory Exaglow serum: the daily base, with tranexamic acid, liquorice root, and a vitamin c derivative, this in combination with whatever active follows has helped me reduce my hyperpigmentation so so much

An active (see below)

Moisturizer: Eucerin Urea repair, again.

Actives is when things get more complicated, because I rotate weekly between (combinations of) them

Differin (adapalene): game changer, I tolerate it very well and I recently increased it to three times per week  + Azelaic acid: I love it and over the years I tried so many different products (available in Europe). I find that for me 10% works just as well as 20%. Usually, a higher price tag gets you better texture (i.e. less grainy) but not better results. Isispharma Metroruboril was very smooth, but a more basic one works just fine for me – hence why I keep going back to The Ordinary’s 10% one. It’s not an area where I feel like I should be spending a lot.

Kojic acid: I’m using Dermaceutic’s Radiance, which works fine in combination with my overall routine. + Retinol: bit of a controversial combination, but because I’ve been using retinols for so long, this works fine. I’m using A313, which is v gentle. I bought it in Paris and it has a too thick texture in my opinion, so once I finished the tube I’ll go back to my fave L’Oreal Revitalift (amazing fragrance, great texture, very hydrating too)

An exfoliant: while some of my products have small percentages of lactic acid in it, so I never felt the need to have a dedicated exfoliating step up. However, I thought I could benefit from it and started using  facetheory’s Glycolacsal which has glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%).  I use it twice a week and it’s really good.

In addition to all of this, twice a week I do a face mask with benoxyl peroxide in the shower which helps tons to keep acne at bay BUT is infinitely better than using the cream, which has bleached all of my towels. The cream used to be a must in my routine but now that overall my acne is under control, I don’t need to use it as often.

This ended up being extremely long, but I love skincare and I feel like I learnt so much about my own skin and how to work with it and what products work in the past few years. I’m testing new things but in a calculated manner. And I don’t know. Skincare is nothing static and the whole process of figuring things out can be fun (and necessary).

Hi! First and foremost I love your content 🩷 my question is, do you know something I can use on my body to brighten up dark marks and acne scars? I have some spots on my chest and arms that I want to lighten but I’m not sure where to start. Thank you so so much! 🩷🩷🩷

Hi love thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my content! 💗💗💗

Ingredients to invest in for acne scars:

Niacinamide

Azelaic Acid

Vitamin C

Green Tea

Retinol

AHA

BHA

SPF

Ingredients to invest in for hyperpigmentation:

Kojic Acid

Vitamin C

Alpha Arbutin

Tranexamic Acid

SPF

Exfoliating with these acids will be key for seeing results for reduced acne scarring + hyperpigmentation! 🔑🎀

[negroglo]

How you skin so clear bro? I'm tryna be a pretty lil bih like you 😭😭

“Pretty lil bih” is crazyyy😭

But anyway

Morning:

1. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser or CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser

You just need something simple and gentle. If you’re having a break out, use something with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (leave on for 3-5 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work)

2. Naturium Tranexamic Acid Brightening Treatment

Mostly for antioxidant support throughout the day. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage that can result in collagen breakdown. It contains tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, and kojic acid -in addition to being antioxidants they are also tyrosinase inhibitors that prevent the formation of dark spots.

3. Sunscreen

Most important step! SPF 30 or higher

Just find something that works for you and apply it EVERY morning (~1/4 tsp or two finger lengths for the face and neck)

Night:

1. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser

2. Naturium Tranexamic Acid Brightening Treatment

3. Tretinoin (prescription) HOLY GRAIL

Topical retinoids are the gold standard for fighting acne, sun damage, and aging. It works on the cellular level to increase cell turn over, collagen synthesis, blood vessel formation. You must be consistent and it take 8-12 weeks before results are visible. 👨🏾‍🔬

Adapalene and other retinols are available otc. and can be more beginner friendly.

4. CeraVe Baby Lotion ( has similar ingredients to the their night cream but it has way more product for a better price lol)

Miscellaneous:

Paula’s Choice BHA or CeraVe Acne Control gels

These are exfoliants I use once or twice a week if my skin is dull or textured

A dermatologist is probably the best person to ask for skincare advice, so if you have access I highly recommend booking a consultation. They’re also teledermatology services that can things a bit more accessible.

Good luck bro 🧍🏾‍♂️🤎

Unlocking Radiant Skin: The Ordinary Skincare Tips for Girls

In the fast-paced world of skincare, finding a routine that works for you is crucial. If you're a girl looking to enhance your beauty regimen, The Ordinary has got your back. This powerhouse brand is renowned for its affordable yet effective products, making it a go-to for skincare enthusiasts. Here are some tips tailored just for you:

1. Understand Your Skin Type: Before diving into The Ordinary's vast product range, identify your skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, The Ordinary offers targeted solutions for every need. Knowing your skin type ensures you choose products that address your unique concerns.

2. Start with the Basics: If you're new to The Ordinary, begin with the essentials. A gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are fundamental steps in any skincare routine. The Ordinary's Squalane Cleanser and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA are excellent starting points, providing a clean canvas for the rest of your routine.

3. Incorporate Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid is a game-changer for hydration. The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a lightweight serum that boosts moisture retention, leaving your skin plump and supple. Apply it before your moisturizer to maximize its hydrating benefits.

4. Target Specific Concerns: Whether you're dealing with acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, The Ordinary has a solution. For acne-prone skin, try the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. To address hyperpigmentation, the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is your ally. For anti-aging, the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane can work wonders when used cautiously.

5. Layering Matters: To get the most out of your products, layer them correctly. Generally, start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up. For example, apply water-based serums before creams or oils. This ensures each product is absorbed effectively, maximizing their benefits.

6. Don't Forget Sunscreen: Sunscreen is non-negotiable in any skincare routine. The Ordinary offers various sun protection options, such as the Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants. Regular use protects your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents premature aging.

7. Be Consistent: Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency is key to seeing results. Stick to your routine and give products time to work. Results may not be immediate, but with patience, you'll notice improvements in your skin's texture and appearance.

8. Customization is Key: The Ordinary empowers you to create a personalized routine. Mix and match products to address your specific needs. However, introduce new products gradually to avoid overwhelming your skin.

In conclusion, The Ordinary offers a treasure trove of skincare options for girls seeking an affordable yet effective routine. Remember, it's not about the quantity of products but the quality and how well they cater to your skin's needs. Embrace these tips, stay consistent, and let The Ordinary elevate your skincare journey. Your radiant skin awaits!

Hi Leigh! I hope you're doing well 🩷

To Anon

*Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Retinol BUT you cannot use Vitamin C and Retinol together and you should only use Retinol at night

*You have to, as in HAVE TO, use at least spf 30 when you're using vitamin C and Retinol

*So in the morning after cleansing you'd use niacinamide and vitamin C plus your spf and then at night you use niacinamide and Retinol

*start with a low concentration of retinol, maybe 0,25%, and try to get a niacinamide that has zinc in it

-No glycolic acid when you're using retinol (use at different times ie; glycolic in the morning and Retinol at night)

-No salicylic acid when you're using retinol (use at different times)

-Stay away from alpha arbutin and kojic acid unless you've done thorough research but I'd recommend speaking to an esthetician or dermatologist about these 2 if you can

and some more!!!

[georgiapeach30513]

Any vitamin c serums you might recommend? I read that it’s good for dark spots.

Vitamin C can also make your SPF work better. I love the Tula one. I’ve used Drunk Elephant and it’s amazing but not an amazing price tag. The Ordinary has one but I prefer it at night because it’s a bit oily

[honeykaes]

no bc fuck why do we have the same skin type 😩😭 i get blackheads all over my nose all the TIMEEE and whiteheads on my nose plus I used to have closed comedones too it was HORRIBLE. my skincare routine is an ickle bit more lengthy my dear but ill tell u the trick I use the simple micellar water cleanser for the entirety of my face, and then use the inkey list salicylic acid cleanser on my face on my t-zone ONLY (forehead, nose, chin) so ur skin doesn't go completely dry that u break ur skin barrier but ur exfoliating regularly to minimise the look of your pores and blackheads. Its then hyaluronic acid -> alpha arbutin -> niacinamide serums from the ordinary and then moisturising. if u want me to go in depth with mine I can but I can also make u one if u want! also do you use vitamin c for discolouration and what moisturiser do you use?

Ooo okay I’ll def put that on the list then!

I actually used vitamin c to brighten my face. My skin used to be very dull and terribly scaly before I started taking better care of my skin more. As for my moisturizer I use Buttah’s Coco Shea Revitalizing Cream

Pink Privates Review – UPDATED 2023 – With Before & After Pictures

Glowy, bright and even skin tone is a dream that only a few are lucky to live through. Rest are those millions of women who throng the internet everyday to look for solutions that can even out their skin tone and make it lighter, brighter and what not. These searches become even more urgent and desperate when it comes to the intimate area. The urge to lighten dark and discolored private parts is a trend that’s here to stay. Apart from cosmetic procedures, there are plenty of creams and bleaches available in the market that claim to “whiten” your skin color. Some work and some don’t. The intimate skin lightening cream in the spotlight today falls in the former category and has proven to show visible results. Let’s get into the review and see what the fuss is all about. Pink Privates Review – UPDATED 2020 Pink Privates is a skin whitening cream specially designed to lighten the skin color on your private areas. This miraculous cream is hailed as one of the best bleaching cream out there by users who have actually used and benefited from it. Using Pink Privates, you can lighten any of the following sensitive areas- - Penis - Vagina - Anal area - Nipples - Scrotum - Underarms One major concern with skin whitening creams are the potential side-effects they might cause to the skin in the long-term. Pink Privates carefully addresses this concern and uses only skin-safe and natural whitening ingredients that do not harm the skin during the bleaching process. The effectiveness of this cream revolves around targeting the discolored areas and lightening them to blend in with the natural color of the entire body. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – How It Works? Most whitening products contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone, mercury and steroids which causes rashes and sometimes even burning sensation. Pink Privates cream steers clear from all three of these ingredients and works in the most natural way. The Pink Privates formula is skin-safe, paraben-free and uses only natural skin whitening and brightening ingredients which we will list down in the next section. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – Ingredients Pink Privates is relatively safer to use than some of its competitors due to the use of all-natural, skin-safe ingredients. If skin safety is your concern and you are looking at all-natural ingredients, Pink Privates takes away the cake by including natural alternatives to harsh chemicals. Let’s take a look at the natural ingredients that Pink Privates uses in its formula. Alpha Arbutin - Derived from the leaves of bearberry bush, Alpha Arbutin is the main ingredient in Pink Privates cream. It is scientifically proven to contain melanin-inhibiting properties. Melanin is what causes the dark color in the skin. Many whitening products have switched the presence of Hydroquinone to Alpha Arbutin, making their products safer for the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil - Featuring anti-inflammatory properties, Apricot kernel oil is widely used for several beauty purposes. In the Pink Privates formulation, this oil works as a lubricant to nourish and moisturize your private area. Jojoba Seed Oil: This oil needs no introduction to a beauty enthusiast. The Jojoba plant is an indigenous American shrub that’s quite popular in the skincare world. The oil is carefully extracted from the nut of the jojoba oil and is widely used by native Americans. It serves as a natural moisturizer and seeps into the skin to make it healthy and plump. Squalane: Squalene is produced by our bodies naturally and it is also found in sugar canes and plants. It  is used to allow the cream to penetrate deep inside and work at the innermost layers of the skin. Hyaluronic Acid: An anti-aging warrior, hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in our bodies in a decent amount. Its anti-aging properties help keep up the collagen levels in our body and maintain our skin’s elasticity. It prevents water loss, inflammation and helps in keeping the skin lighter and youthful. Polyacrylamide: Polyacrylamide is yet another popular skin care ingredient used in a wide range of cosmetic products.The main purpose of this being added is to bind the ingredients together. Laureth-7: Laureth-7 is obtained and extracted from lauric acid. This mainly acts as an emulsifier and surfactant in beauty products. C13-14 Isoparaffin: Extracted from petroleum, this particular ingredient acts as a thickening agent to thicken the consistency of the cream. Phenoxyethanol: Pink Privates steers clear of parabens and uses phenoxyethanol as an alternative to parabens which is much safer. It is primarily used as a preservative to beauty products. Ethylhexylglycerin: Another alternative to parabens, Ethylhexylglycerin is added to incinerate the growth of bacteria. It also helps to enhance the execution of other preservatives and stabilizers in the product. Purified Water: Nothing but good old purified natural water. Knowing the ingredients not only gives you reeling confidence in the product but also gives you peace of mind. All the handpicked ingredients are added to make Pink Privates more gentle on your skin and to suit the nature of your intimate areas. By now, you can be fully assured that the Pink Privates formula stays away from harmful ingredients that could cause nasty and dreadful side effects such as severe irritation to the skin, redness and certain allergic reactions caused due to parabens and mercury. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – How to Apply? With any topical cream, proper application is equally important to get effective results that you hope for. Here’s how to get started with this whitening cream- - Shave or wax your intimate area 2 to 3 days before the application. This ensures the cream penetrates deeply into the skin without unwanted hair blocking its way. - Before application, take a mild scrub and exfoliate the area gently to take away dead skin cells resting on the surface. - Wash off the scrub and dry the area with a gentle towel. Make sure there is no sign of moisture present on the surface. - Apply a smooth layer and start rubbing the product in thoroughly. - Make sure the cream covers the entire area that you wish to lighten. - Wait for approximately 5 minutes and allow the product to work its magic. - Once the cream is completely dried, wash it off with warm water. - Repeat this process twice every day for upto 8 weeks to see best results. Pink Privates Before & After Pictures Pink Privates – Price & Where To Buy Aligning to the level of the result it shows, Pink Privates is effectively priced at $35 in Australia. You can easily find it at major retailer giants like Ebay and Amazon. It can be also sourced from your nearby cosmetic shop. However, there is always a limited quantity of stock at offline stores and they usually sell out quickly. Read the full article
