How do you actually keep your teeth pearl white?
I had a professional dental cleaning done some weeks ago but I already noticed some discoloration and some lightish brown lines between my teeth
Do I have to give up coffee/tea entirely or is it a matter of discipline in regards to chasing down everything (that leads to stains) with water ?
Also is teeth whitening done by a dentist worth the money?

PDRN as a topical is pretty much just marketing, its a huge molecule so it can't penetrate the stratum corneum without a special delivery vehicle and exosome as a delivery vechile doesn't have a lot of studies behind it.
But it does have panthenol, polyglucuronic and a bunch of ceramides which you do need due to tret and BPO, so I'd say it's good as a product overall.

Never mew if your facial asymmetry is causes by an uneven palate or crossbite. It will only exacerbate the problem.

>>18682213
To add on to this, basically you’ll be promoting sideways growth rather than forward growth.

I started using retinol to sleep but I go to bed so late and wake up so late that the sun has been up for a long time in my room, and I'm wondering if it'll be bad for my skin.
There's no direct sunlight, but I use white curtains and the sun can be quite strong.
Should I use sunscreen to bed?

Is there much I can do about smile lines or whatever they are? They aren't severe but they linger a little sometimes but go away if I don't really smile and use some moisturizer. Obviously I don't want them to start getting bad but not sure if moisturizing does much, it might just be placebo.

Mixed Skin Tips:
If you're like me and topical product have had literally zero effect on your acne, seriously try this:

- Change your pillowcase every day
Just order a set of 7 pillowcases right now.

I discovered how much using the same pillowcase affected my acne when I was traveling and staying at different hotels every night. MY acne practically vanished.
Only when I stayed at the same hotel for 3 nights and used the same sheets did it come back.

- Shower BEFORE you go to sleep and Wear clean clothes to sleep in.
This keeps your body clean so less dirt and oil builds up in your linens. i suggest having a specific set of sleep clothes that you do not wear outside.

- Keep your hormone levels under control
This is mostly if you're roiding but if you hormones are out of wack you will break out like crazy. Excess testosterone converts into estrogen.
A lot of this will be working out, sleep, stress management, and diet.

- Be mindful of anything that touches your face, such as wiping your nose with your hands, leaning on your hand when resting, or even wearing the same hat. All it takes is a little bit of exposure for bacteria to rapidly multiply on your skin and cause a breakout:
Wash hands regularly.
Wash your hats/headwear frequently
Be mindful of over-ear headphones that collect oil.
Stop touching your fucking face!

- Avoid harsh cleansers
I don't even use any face cleansers at all anymore.
I just get one of those disposable face towels and wet it with water.
All these products and cleansers fuck with the PH of your face and kill good bacteria.
The only product I use is moisturizer.

Following these tips I've been pretty much acne free for the past 4 years.

>wash face
>break out
>don't wash face
>don't break out
Can't even blame this on pillows, since I wash all my linens and blankets and pillow covers each time I wash up.

Not sure if nail talk belongs here, but whatever. I want to fix my nail that I fucked up early in my teens but even when letting it grow for a month or so it barely felt like it grew back in. Am I doing something wrong? Should I not trim it at all even when it grows past my fingertip or what?

Anyone here using GHK-CU? Was thinking of trying it along with collagen powder. My skin is actually pretty decent but maybe I can make it even better.

>>18683248
Yes, if you're an adult. You need surgery to fix it.

I'm 34 and I've done nothing with my skin until now. It's low maintenance, looks okay and doesn't feel dry.

I want to start using a combination moisturizer + SPF 50 in the morning now that I'm getting old. Can someone recommend me something basic and easy to use? I cycle regularly so sweat resistance is a plus.

I don't want a super heavy white cream American sunscreen but a lot of the Asian/Euro stuff seems overpriced and more than I need.

fat transfer if they're deep else chemical peels, use a retinoid and sunscreen for maintenance

we need to add rosacea to the Skincare general post. Its not as common in men, but when we do get it, its worse than women's. mine started out of nowhere in my mid thirties, several doctors tried standard acne treatments eventually I ended up with abscesses sll over my face. I got a referral to a dermatologist and she took on look up close at me and said you dont have acne, you have rosacea and you've been treating it wrong. Rosacea occurs on very sensitive skin, and needs treatments that are aligned for it. Doxycycline, bactrim, ivermectin Oral and cream, azaelic acid, light sunscreen and night moisturizer abd face wash (cerave), clindamycin gel twice daily, sulfur soap or face wash and perodixe face wash twice a day starting once a day at 0.5% strength, and up to 10%every other day, to daily as your face allows. it is slow, and gets worse for a bit, but at a month you will break through and clear up over the next two months eventually you will be able to cut back on the treatments until you just keep it under control. everyone us different, but these are what finally helped.

that's because it's new? You're dismissing it on the basis of a temporal limitation, mechanistically, when combined with MN/Meso injections it's completely legit.

It wont have the comparative level of rigorous research behind it as something like tretinoin because that has been around for decades.

Any help on what type of acne this is, I wash my face with the Cera-ve salicylic acid wash every time I take a shower, which is like every other day I don’t really sweat much I have a air conditioned job and don’t go to the gym or work outside or exercise much. I don’t eat so I’m not fat no greasy diet just meal replacement drinks

Retinol needs two conversions to be active and so it’s harder to apply too much and get irritation

Oh hey neat this exists. 31, only started caring about my face skin this year after my girlfriend kept pushing me. I went through 5 miserable months of bad acne reactions because I have never done skincare in my life, but I finally settled on a routine that leaves me looking great:

>AM
Wash face in the shower with Vanicream facial cleanser (specific product name escapes me since I'm not in the restroom)
Nivea Men's Anti-Aging 30 SPF with Pro-Retinol
Nivea lip balm 15 SPF and Vaseline as needed (I have chronically dry lips)
Reapply both Nivea products as needed throughout day

>PM
Vanicream again
Vaseline on my lips
Adapalene 0.1%, leave on for 15 minutes
CeraVe PM Ultra Lightweight w/ ceramides and all that good stuff

My skin has never been clearer. Wish I had given a shit when I was young, could have prevented lots of acne scars. Ah well.
>>18687348
The very first week, I had no pain. My forehead broke out, but that's the cleansing process. After that, the corners of my eyes, the alar crease (where nose meets cheeks), and my neck were absolutely burning. My eyes were dry for about 4 days straight, and I freaked the fuck out thinking I'd done permanent damage as I was reading about my reaction online. I stayed away from Adapalene for a few days, and thankfully my eyes returned to normal. I resumed Adapalene, and I had read online to "shield" my eye corners from Adapalene with vaseline, and that worked. No more dry eyes. That was about a month ago, month and a half, and now I apply Adapalene relatively liberally and close to the corners of my eyes, and below my eyes without any irritation or dryness.

What I'm saying is, I didn't feel shit, then it all piled on at once and it was miserable, and now I'm cool. I went through La Roche-Posay triple repair, I went through Eucerin, I was getting acne, shit was burning, etc. before I finally settled on these products. Good luck m8 Adapalene is heaven for the skin when you get it right.

SA should not be doing that, do your other products have fragrance? or essential oils? Maybe your sunscreen has filters that disrupt the moisture barrier?

Doing a robust peel after banking a bunch of collagen with microneedling is absolutely going to give you insane results.

Feed your routine through AI, and ask if it any of the products have ingredients that are sensitizing.

Also if I'm not consistent and miss a day or two, I get crazy facial dandruff, like literally making it snow.

any tips frens?

how do I remove cherry angiomas, both large ones and specs smaller than freckles. And what should I put over them after the removal to avoid scars?

Would dr althea 345 be good?
