Hi everyone! I shared this on r/skincareaddiction and got a lot of positive feedback, so I wanted to repost it here in case it helps anyone else. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-consci

Hi everyone! I’m 28M. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-conscious about it I dug deep into the hole and geeked out researching what I can actually do.

The question of how to get rid of post-acne dark spots has been coming up a lot lately, so it seemed like the perfect topic for a Teach It Tuesday. I suffer from this myself, so I did a little bit of digging into the subject. **First, some terminology** This post will focus on post-inflammatory hype

Okay, most of us have probably heard that the data picture for Differin/Adapalene as an anti-aging retinoid is pretty limited right now, especially vs. tretinoin. (Although recent data seem promising!) I’ve heard some derms recommend it for anti-aging and some not. While it is “the gold standard”, t

From what I understand, adapalene is used for acne maintenance, so are tazorac and the like. But retinols OTC are used for anti-aging. Aren't they essentially in the same class though? Has there been any head to head trial between any of them for a certain indication? (I have not been able to found

Hi there I’m a 18 y/o female. The other day I used nair cream on my face and I forgot that I use an acne medication called Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide which makes my skin super sensitive so when I put the nair cream on it burned my skin and it was very painful. The nair cream was on for about 6-

So obligatory, happened a few days ago. Honestly still calming down a bit. It all started in a haze, I woke up around 4am to a pressure deep in my ear. It was accompanied by a tapping sound/sensation. There was no particular rhythm or pattern but it’s constant. Tap tap tap tap….. tap tap tap….tap ta

Edit: I am so sorry I didn't respond to everyone in the comments. I didn't think this post would get much attention, so I didn't bother logging back in until after supper, and now I am kinda overwhelmed by all the comments and messages. I cried a little reading them though, I'm sorry my words struck

I thought the phrase 'USE SPARINGLY' meant use like you have a lot to spare... this small misconception has never been an issue for me until the fateful event of last week. I have moderately severe acne on my cheeks and so my dermatologist prescribed me a strong benzoyl peroxide cream. I was so fe

Idk why I don’t know this
