>>18579322>>18580262>might stop doing melatonin myselfSo far this has not gone well... acne's actually gotten worse since I stopped taking melatonin. All I can hope is that it's some kind of transition period due to the hormonal change, but I didn't think it stayed in your system that long from supplements. Otherwise, then there's no correlation or maybe melatonin was actually helping and I should take more, lol, I fucking hate my life

Guys, rate skincare routine. How bad is it? 30y old fagMorning:CeraVe Hydrating CleanserLa Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum???

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - not sureCeraVe Skin Renewing Eye CreamAs face moisturizer - CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Cream + The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-pressed Rose Hip Seed OilNivea, Moisture Lip CareWeekly:Sheet Mask or Hydrating Mask (hydrating sheet mask or a cream mask)Facial Exfoliation with a glove(no retinoids this day and day after)Clay Mask for nose and T-zone - Beplain Mung Bean Pore Clay Mask
>>18582198since you're 30 i'd recommend retinoids as opposed to more expensive cosmetic retinol products. Build up tolerance slowly of course. everything else looks fine
>>18582206Thank youOn an unrelated note - DAMN! I still can't believe I hit that age already
Can you recommend any products to reduce the sunspots I already have on my face?
>>18581374sorry to hear that anon. have you been to derm? >>18582198its pretty good>??? The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - not surei would drop this as im pretty sure there is niacinamide in other products you already use. keep in mind only 2-5% concentration was clinically tested, 10% is often times a bit too harsh>La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum>La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 serumid get cheaper equivalents (but thats just me) though i know some people are willing to pay extra as they feel nice>The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-pressed Rose Hip Seed Oilthe oil at the end of pm routine is pretty good idea. i would switch it to some kind of mix of oils though than a single one (potentially more benefits) unless you dont tolerate some of them or you simply really like the one you use.i used to get a cheap jojoba, macadamia, almond and raspberry seed oil with squalane (from a local company) but its not available anymore and been looking for something simialr>Sheet Mask or Hydrating Mask (hydrating sheet mask or a cream mask)id drop this, maybe slug with vaseline every now and then on exfoliating nights. i always thought hydrating/moisturizing masks are a scam selling a one-time use moisturizer but idk. up to you>Facial Exfoliation with a glove(no retinoids this day and day after)id drop this or replace with 30% aha peeling solution from the ordinary instead. again thats just me, i prefer chemical exfoliation. but if its too much and it works for you, leave it as is>>18582946alpha arbutin, retinoids, niacinamide, vitamin c serum, glycolic acid exfoliator and obviously sunscreen to prevent further damage
>>18583100>alpha arbutin, retinoids, niacinamide, vitamin c serum, glycolic acid exfoliator and obviously sunscreen to prevent further damageThanks anon, do you recommend any particular brands? I used to use vitamin C serums, but they irritated my skin.
