Reminder that retinol concentration above 0,3% will be banned soon in EU (does not apply to retinaldehyde)
looking for an alternative to ANESSA Perfect UV Sunscreen Mild Milki like everything about it except it burns my skin :(it's hard to find a light, matte chemical sunscreen. i don't want the "dewy" look.
>>18542789>it's hard to find a light, matte chemical sunscreen. i don't want the "dewy" look.
>>18542792i've tried this and it left a sheen too.also tried round lab, torriden, d'alba, skin1004, joseon, biore uv. d'alba is probably the nicest but again, shiny. skin aqua isn't bad, but has a fragrance i don't want.
>>18542797Maybe you are doing something wrong in your routine. This was invisible on me, left no residue or layer. Even tends to dry me out. It was recommended a few times in previous threads as well for this specific reason.Guess you could go through youtube reviews where they apply sunscreens and show their face after 30 minutes or whatever
>>18542789Use the non-mild version? Also, there are a lot of fake Anessas.
>>18542787Tret and the like are effectively banned anyways in EU. No derms want to write a prescription for it. Why? Big skincare. They are just a big part of the economy. Same thing is happening in South Korea. Try getting tret over there. It’s shady as fuck.
>>18542809Same in Japan.
how do i stop "chud lines" showing up on my face? im only 22, not fat, wear sunscreen, moisturise at least twice a week, drink enough water and get 8+ hours of sleep. im also developing bags under my eyes. is it just over?
>>18542833Stop coming to 4chan unironically. It destroys you mentally and physically.
>>18542833Sleep during the night rather than sleeping in. Also, many people have had nasal folks. It’s just that meme absolutely shamed people for having them. Also eat bananas.
>>18542842but i like this site. the only boards i frequent are /lit/ and /wsg/its nice not needing an account or having post history or similar bullshit >>18542861i start work at 6, a sleep in for me is about 8am lol. i go to bed at about 9pm
What are the best things we have for fighting aging right now? I'm using sunscreen and tretinoin at the moment, is there anything else I should add?
>>185428715ar inhibitors, T blockers, estrogen, according to femboys.

>>185428711. Quit 4chan.
>>18542774I'm 21 and I'm starting to notice nasolabial folds on my face. What products can I use to avoid wrinkles if anything? Right now my skincare routine is just cleaner + moisturizer
>>18543350Tretinoin. Tazarotene.Sunscreen.Nasolabial folds will need botox or fillers though.
>>18542809I live in Ireland and I found an online derm that writes perscriptions. She gave me a perscription for it two months ago.
>>18542991god dang that shit is hard
best way to fade a tan?
>>18542787I didn't realize there was tret above 0.1%, 0.3% must be strong as fuck
>>18543459glutathione iv or oral
>>18543462It's about retinol, not trethttps://www.skinacea.com/retinoids/types-of-retinoids.html
>>18542787I'm in Greece and I buy tret as a gel for 4 euro, no prescription.I also get tazarotene but that's more expensive. Btw been using tazarotene daily past few days and losing so much skin it's insane.
>>18543565I'm trying to order some taz, do you prefer it to tret?
>>18543567Not sure what either did for me. I haven't seen any significant difference (few years of tret and one tub of tazarotene).
How many times a week does tret need to be applied to maintain anti aging? I use it on my face 4 nights a week. Is this enough or do I need to apply it more?
Any reccs on what I should use for my hands? I work in a hospital and have to constantly sanitize my hands with alcohol or wipes and it's fucking my skin up.Would Cerave Hand Repair be alright or is there something stronger/better?
>>18542833Unironically don't smile and just do that Zoolander sucking face whenever you can.
>>18542991>>18543440it's not too badbreak it into pieces and make small incremental positive changes over timetrying to make a major shift in your lifestyle probably won't stickbuilding good habits pays out over timealso should have mentioned semiannual dental cleaning from a dental hygienist and an annual checkup with the dentist
>>18543732get gloves like these: https://a.co/d/6lyTBw2wash then moisturize. some other options below.my personal favorite is "slugging". i'll use a normal moisturizer like cerave daily, then i'll put a layer of aquaphor over the top, then gloves.all before bed. Aquaphor Healing OintmentCeraVe Healing Ointment LRP Cicaplast Hand Repair Cream Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream
>>185437114 is probably good, but i go for every night occasionally taking one night breaks to focus on moisturizing. what strength are you using? lowering down may help. higher strengths is only really beneficial for acne. 0.025% cream is still good. ultimately do what your skin can tolerate. damaging your skin barrier does more harm than good.https://youtu.be/5h_gE4t_3ro?t=266
>>18543734duck face era make so much more sense
I want to thank you for the pinned basic routine. It really helped me, I’ve been getting a lot of compliments about my skin lately at work
>>18543711Maintenance dosage is pseudoscience.
>>18543565>Greece is a lawless zoneYes, we know that, anon.
If anyone cares, having switched back to shampoo recently, I've noticed improvements in my hair, which is ~4 inches long. The semi-frizziness helps with the look I'm going for tho
>>18542809>>18542815And yet people on Europe, Korea, and Japan have healthier skin on average. Have you considered those reddit posts about the magic of tretinoin/adapalen/tazarotene are just ads? So that you ask your doctor for a prescription.
Is it always a choice between looking young and having high testosterone? It can't be both. You decide between being a femboy or high t man. All those products contain hormones disrupting chemicals, also sun it's essential for you.
>>18543871More restrictions around a lot of other things than most other countries actually.
