Maybe this is a dumb question but I’m new to serious skincare routine and need help.

If I have moisturizer, retinol, vitamin C and sunscreen to apply, how do I do that without either slathering it on top of each other - which feels like I’m cancelling it out or something - or spending an hour in the bathroom waiting for each to absorb? How do you all do this?

Has anyone used a Hyaluronic acid serum? Did it work? Which one? Thanks

Good day,

I hope to get some feedback on what is “best” for me. I am 40+, male, and have dry skin on my face, hands, and feet (diabetes has something to do with this).

I apply sunscreen occasionally now and it feels nice. I want to take a more comprehensive approach, so I am looking for at least a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

I also want to try some treatments around the eyes and forehead, where wrinkles start, and where I sometimes have a somewhat tired look due to bags under my eyes.

Finally, a nourishing cream/ bodylotion for dry hands and feet.

The shoppinglist contains:

Basic steps:

1. Cleanser: heimish all clean balm
2. Moisturizer: Aestura ato barrier or Illyoon ceramide ato
3. Sunscreen: BoJ Relief sun rice + priobotic
4. Some options that I would like to try (between cleansing and moisturize?):

- Cosrx snail 96 mucin

- BoJ revive eye serum

- Mixsoon been essence

Hand & feet: APLB bodylotion

PS These are all Korean products (I think), but I am also open to other brands. I am new and have compiled the above list with the best intentions, based on what I thought could be good choices. If something can be done “better” for me, I would love to read about it.

Thanks in advance.

Will my skin be ok? Or should I reschedule? I will be around a lot of people. Not totally clear on what the downtime is. I’ve had BBL Hero before but in conjunction with Halo Laser and it def took a week or more before I could be out in public. Thanks for any thoughts/advice for those of you that have had BBL Hero before.

I just had a Halo laser done -- at my request she did a "medium" level on my face and a "light" level on my neck. I found it very uncomfortable on my face so when she got to my neck I told her to proceed but do a lighter level. I wanted it over with! The neck wasn't uncomfortable at all. Yet, it clearly got treated as the skin is pink and a bit tight, not a lot different than the skin on my face. I'd almost rather do the lighter level all over more frequently than one more intense level. I know that is more expensive but I'm going to dread doing it again. The burn wasn't that bad and was gone in a couple of hours, so post - recovery is no issue at all. Has anyone tried doing it at a lighter level but on a more frequent schedule? The gal who did mine has it done once a year. I'm betting she has it on a pretty intense level. Thoughts?

I have small red spider looking veins in my jaw area and my nose area. My father had these, I’m starting to think they might be hereditary. Is there a certain form of laser therapy used to get rid of them?

Hello does anyone know what you can do about redness post Efudix cream? I used it about 6 months ago on my nose area and now when I get hot or flushed my nose area goes so red! Would any creams or lasers help make the redness disappear?
