My skin has never been better two weeks after stopping the use of creams, face-washes, moisturizers etc. I just wash my face once or twice a day with water, generally high pressure from the shower. Skin is nice and smooth. If that doesn't work for you? idk kys i guess lol

Just keep your skin from being dry all the time
Drink lots of water
Find soap/body wash that doesn't fuck your shit up
Stay away from fucked up air/temperatures
There, free dermatology barring serious disease
No.35748
>>35735Also, in addition to hydration, you need your skin clear of debris, excess oil, etc
Sometimes rinsing and soap are enough but you can buy special cleansers which have chemicals and ointments to help
Salicyclic acid is a good ingredient for a deep chemical exfoliation of the face however it shouldn't be done too much, and look into micellar water which is less intense too
Ceramides and hyaluronic acid are the most common ingredients for locking in moisture
Retinol is also a good general anti-aging ingredient for people over 30, although it's used in younger people to help with acne too

So, I've been taking omega 3 ( a total of 3 grams of EPA, so 6 pills). I also use a gentle cleanser (the blue cerave facial foam cleanser), obviously sun block, I use a 50 fps, and I was applying retinol serum by la Roche poussy.
Recently though, I replaced the retinol serum for tretinoin 0,05%.
And on top of that, I started applying petrolate / petroleum jelly / Vaseline, unscented, before going to bed, after the retinols. It's just a little bit. I swear by this shit. The moisturizing capacity extends even after you clean your face the next day. Amazing shit. Also helps in absorption of retinols which might make it a bit intense so be warned.
I've also been doing exercise, not eating any sugar, and generally eating better, as well as having a more regular sleep schedule.
My skin looks great.

So, I found a video that talks about purging on retinoids. It seems my dryness and flakyness is purging. So I guess I am purging! I was worried I broke my "skin barrier" or whatever the fuck that is.
I feel like if I keep this up, it will cause more damage than anything good, so I will temper my tretinoin use. Maybe I'll go back to retinol and do tret once a week, then twice etc.
