PLEASE READ THIS POST GUIDELINE:

HELP!! How do I fade these post-acne marks and have a smoother, clearer, and even skin? Nakakababa ng confidence, instead na mag glow up, nag glow down😔 I have an acne prone skin talaga but recently I had the worse breakout and didn't realized that time I keep on popping my active acne noon kaya it resulted to this🥲 Someone I know worked for a derma then I sent my pic and they gave me a cleanser, 2% salicylic acid toner, and Tretinoin with erythromycin gel (without proper consultation so the derma never knew what my current skincare is)

Skin Type: Combination/sensitive

Age/Gender: Early 20s F

Current Skincare Routine: Gentle Cleanser, Panthen Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Hydroquinone + Tretinoin at night (used this w/o prescription for 2 months already every other night but didn't notice any improvement) Now I switched to tret with ery gel for 2 nights and used the salicylic toner on my non tret night

Main Concern: PIH / dark acne marks

Budget: Budget-friendly medication/skincare sana

Now idk if I should continue my routine and see if there will be an provement after weeks or consult a derma as soon as I have a budget for it. Kasi parang nagsasayang nalang ako ng pera on using diff products (late realization).

Planning to try online consultation with a derm (heard it's possible and also cheaper). Or is face to face consultation better? Buttt I'm tight on budget🥲 Any recos?

TYIA!! 🫂

Additional Info:
As a girl na busy sa everyday life, madali talaga pagpawisan yung underarms ko. Naalala ko, 6 years ago, nagpapa-botox pa ako ng underarms ko just to make sure na hindi ako papawisan sa part na yun.

Yung mga deo roll-on didn’t work for me and it left my shirts and blouses with dirt and permanent stain. Eventually, I discovered this Milcu but first, I used the white variant, effective siya pero after 7 hours, medyo sweaty na ako ulit.

Pero noong na-try ko itong Sports Deodorant variant ng Milcu, juskoday, 24 hours, dry na dry ang underarms ko. Pawisin pa rin ako sa face ang back pero yung underarms ko walang pawis at all! Kaya sobrang saya ko i-share dito kasi nababasa ko na marami may problem pala sa pawisin na underams. O ayan na ang solution mga besh!

HELP: Itchiness right after niacinamide application

Normal lang ba mangati right after applying niacinamide?

I have been using niacinamide once a week for 3 weeks. Goods naman skin reaction ko nung una. Ngayon lang siya nangati nang ganito pero okay and calm naman na siya after some time. Worried lang ako baka mag lead to breakouts if I continue the use. May dapat ba akong i-add before para malessen yung irritation?

May redness due to acne ako sa cheeks, pansin ko doon nagkaroon nh irritation. Is it because of the acne kaya?

hello po everyone. im kindly asking what to do with my face m. i’ve been struggling with acne nung high school and used to prick them a lot, that’s why my face ended up like this. my face can be compared to the movie “diary ng panget” where Nadine Lustre’s face was full of acnes (super related when she described her pimples as Mt. Apo and Mt. Bulkan). but i stopped pricking them during my senior high school. now that im in my 5th yr in college, i want to (if possible) lessen the pore size or make them a little manageable. i also experience hormonal acne and when i am super stressed, grabe breakouts ko. should i visit a derma po ba or an aesthetician or buy products??

Hello, anong nice moisturizer for dry skin down there. Super dry po kasi ng skin ko and nag fflaky siya sa singit na nagiging mahapdi. Please help po

Hi everyone, I’ve had back and chest acne for a few years now. Im 15 F and it makes me insecure most of the time. I was wondering what soaps or routines helped you get rid of this problem. I have sensitive and dry skin which makes it difficult to find good soaps na hiyang sa skin ko. I can only use mild soaps bcs normal ones would usually worsen it. My chest acne doesn’t usually get bad but it does when I near my period. The back acne is my main concern cause it gets to bad that it hurts when I wear garments. Thank you for your time, your response is most appreciated!

Skin Type: sensitive and dry

Age/Gender: 15 F

Current Skincare Routine: Johnsons Baby Bath Liquid Soap

Main Concern: Slight Chest Acne flares, and Back Acne around the upper back near shoulders

Lifestyle Factors: active person who plays sports and lives in cold climate

Skin Type: Oily

Age/Gender: 18/F

Current Skincare Routine: (AM) Cetaphil cleanser + celeteque moisturizer

(PM) cetaphil cleanser + celeteque toner + quickfx pimple eraser + celeteque moisturizer

Main Concern: Thin skin in my undereyes which makes me look super tired.

Lifestyle Factors: Always sleeping super late and lack of sleep

Since the start of shs matagal na po talaga ako natutulog ng late, usually 12am. pero this year, i've been sleeping halos 2-4am na. i now want to focus on how i can make myself look less tired. when i pinch my undereyes, it goes to my normal skin color so i assume na manipis balat ko there. i would love to know what products you'd recommend, thank you <3

Skin Type: Oily & sensitive

Age/Gender: 17/M

Main Concern: evening out my skin, redness on my nose, and pore visibility especially on my nose

Lifestyle Factors: Usually lack of sleep & stress due to school. However I exercise 3x a week and drink water regularly.

Budget: 300-600

Skincare Routine:

AM

-water

-when I stay home, I use my old sunscreen para maubos ko na, and when i go outside I use my new one

-SkinAqua Gold UV Super Moisture Gel Sunscreen (OLD)

-Sun Bears Gold Active Sunscreen (NEW)

PM

-Soul Apothecary Gentle Salicylic Acid Cleanser

-Soul Apothecary Radiance Boost Essence

-SKINTIFIC 5X Ceramides Barrier Moisture Gel

* for the radiance boost essence, I switched from Luxe Organix 10% Niacinamide Serum because from research it told me this percentage can cause issues as its too high, but it didn't do any damage to my skin. I still switched to check other products, but I'm willing to switch back again as I kind of don't like my current product due to personal preference.

Additional Info: I'm not sure yet, but I think I have a history of eczema? A few years ago when I didnt have a dedicated skincare routine, my face would be really dry, itchy, and flaky, so I would end up scratching the side of nose because of this. The spots were it would usually dry and become itchy and flaky were on the sides of my nose, on my eyebrows, and on my scalp.

The current spots in my face right now are recurring pimples if that helps too! Additionally, my skin is fairly sensitive. Fragrants don't work well on my skin.

Lastly, do you guys have any recommendations for texture? Compared to my whole face, the texture on my nose can be really seen especially with oiliness on my skin and I want to somehow lessen how it looks. Thank you!!

I’ve been on Isotretinoin (10mg) for 8 weeks now and I still have these small bumps on my face which I’m desperately want to get rid of. Will it be gone just by using the prescribed tretinoin, azelaic and the medicine?

Please recommend a budget-friendly but trusted body care routine for recurring acne on my forearms

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations for a budget-friendly but effective body care routine for recurring acne on my forearms.

I usually get body acne on my back, but recently I’ve started getting breakouts on my arms as well. The frustrating part is that even when some pimples clear up, new ones keep popping up in the same area.

I’m not sure if this is actually acne or possibly something else like folliculitis, so I’d also appreciate any advice on what it might be and when I should consider seeing a dermatologist.

Skin type: Sensitive + acne-prone
Age/Gender: 25/F
Budget: ₱300–₱1,000
Current body care:

I previously tried Dr. Wong’s Sulfur Soap, but I didn’t notice much improvement and new pimples still kept appearing.
I recently switched to Teashell Soap that I found on TikTok, but it’s still too early to tell if it’s helping.

I’m hoping for recommendations for a simple routine (cleanser/soap, treatment, moisturizer, etc.) that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and won’t break the bank.

Would really appreciate product recommendations, especially from people who have dealt with recurring body acne themselves. 🥹
Thank you!
