Hi. I would like to ask for your advise regarding my routine since I wanna lessen my oilyness.

AM:
- Cerave SA Cleanser
- Face Republic Sun Essence

PM:
- Krave Matcha Cleanser
- Tretinoin

I have very sensitive skin type so I’m using tretinoin since I have acne-prone skin as well. Plus it was prescribed by my derma. Since it’s already the start of summer season in the Philippines, my face has been producing much oil 🥹Thank you in advance

Super Oily and Sensitive Skin Type

Hi guys. Any sunblock recommendation (korean products) which is good for both body and face while swimming? I’m also fine with reco for body only since I’m using Face Republic’s sunscreen for my face. TIA 😊

Best Sunblock for Swimming

Hey guys! Just wanna ask your opinion on this one cause I’ve watched a video of Liah Yoo on YT that the more dehydrated a person is, the more sebum his skin produces which can lead to the formation of acne. 

I’m actually suffering from ocassional breakouts even though I’m using BP in the morning and Tret in the evening and I’m thinking I’m dehydrated cause my face feels so tight every time I washed using the soap recommended by my derm.  In addition, after applying the remaining products, I can see flakes on my skin and when I touch it it feels dry even though I have oily skin.

After watching the video, I have decided to change my routine to a more hydrating one. For reference, these are the routine prescribed by my derm and all the products are bought from their clinic.

AM:
• Bactazil soap (main ingredients: sulfur  and tea tree)
•Clindamycin Solution 
•Acne Lotion (which is composed of Calamine 1% Sulfur 1% Resorcin 1%)
•Benzoyl Peroxide 5%
•Sunscreen SPF 50

PM:
•Bactazil soap
•Clindamycin Solution 
•Tretinoin Cream 0.05%

So I wanna change this routine from this routine

AM:
Krave Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser
Benton Deep Green Tea Toner
Benzoyl Peroxide 5%
iUnik Centella Gel Cream
Canmake Mermaid Tokyo UV Gel

PM
Krave Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser
Benton Deep Green Tea Toner
The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum
Tretinoin 0.05%

P.S I actually already posted my “NEW” routine here last night and there are lots who said that it is good. Just wanna get a second opinion after watching Liah Yoo’s vid cause I’m planning to buy all the products I mentioned and completely change my CURRENT routine. TIA

Choosing hydrating products rather than anti-acne products

Hi guys! Anyone here who also experienced the same thing? Btw, I’m already using a moisturizer. My hunch is that this happened when I applied vaseline on it since there are times the area around my lips is flaking. Plus at night, I’m using tretinoin. But after noticing these dark spots, I made sure to avoid putting tret on it.

What should I do to make this go away? TIA! 

P.S. please excuse my picture

Darkening of area around lips

⭕️Canmake’s Mermaid Tokyo UV Gel SPF 50 or Purito’s Unscented Sunscreen (which one is better?)

Creating my New Skin Care Routine

Nothing bad particulary about the product.  Just that it’s very pricey in my country.

This product really helped in hydrating my skin. Before using this product, my skin was so dehydrated because of the acne soap that I’m using. As a result, my face became so sensitive and flaky. Krave Matcha Hemp was a life-saver for me. It’s really non-stripping and hydrates my face so well. Will definitely repurchase this if I have extra money 💖
