I got curology to handle my acne. Now I need to handle my skin texture bumbs

f*** that s*** bruh. It made my skin worse

Do y’all do this order:
Shower
Face foaming cleanser
Moisturizer
Sunscreen

any of y'all with dark skin fight with hyperpigmentation(dark spots all over the body)?

Had that for like 2 years now

and this one too i use during day

yea but add tone > serum (if any) before moisturizer

Apparently you need a toner. That’s what a friend told me but I haven’t tried yet

BHA & Vitamin C will help with that. Although don’t use them consecutively, Vitamin C in the day, BHA in the night and or on alternating days

we on water and fenty beauty

That s*** went away when I ate whole food plant based. Never had acne or s*** before either and it came on in my mid 20's as well. Just an idea.

Feel like there's a lot to be said for keeping your routine as simple as you can.

Those are closed comedones fam. Get yourself a 2% BHA or soft AHA with mandelic acid

You can get this from either Cult Beauty (sold out atm) or Beauty Bay for like $15 CAD

just reupped my ordinary niacinamide

Toner

Good looking out

My Reddit search brought up the same thing

Toner it is then, any particular brands u like?

Also what exactly does toner even do

Dude yes

Someone in this thread recommended me bha

It comes in a tiny vial and u basically squirt a drop to cotton ball and apply to the area

Bro lemme tell u, my s*** disappeared in a month, my face never been as evenly colored since I was a kid before I destroyed it by playing in the sun lol

The issue I have now is now face is even i got biggish pores in the former dark areas

And you ain’t look up what toner does? Lol just removed excess dirty and oil, makes pores smaller. Just get witch hazel alcohol free and cotton pads

Toners are the biggest scam in skincare along with eye creams. They’re also supposed to also balance pH levels in the skin but if you’re using a good cleanser or double cleansing you really don’t need a toner since all the dirt will be removed and it wont strip your skin of all it’s natural oils.

@Olivear

So wht do I believe lol

Maybe sometimes a cleanser isn’t enough? It works for me

Double cleansing should absolutely be enough.

First an oil based followed by a water based, not sure if you're doing that or not. Then again, skincare is case by case but I'm just speaking generally.
