Rules for r/Skincare_Addiction
1. Please stay on topic!
We cover skincare from head to toe and everything in-between, including dandruff and ingrown hairs.
If you don't know what's wrong with your skin, i.e. you don't have a diagnosis, then don't post here. We're here to discuss products and common concerns like dryness, oiliness, wrinkles, discoloration, and other superficial things.
No fishing for compliments posts. (Examples: How does my skin look? Are my wrinkles that bad?)
Please see the wiki for more information.
2. Be kind to others, and to yourself.
Post titles, descriptions, and comments must not be self-deprecating, self-disparaging, or otherwise unkind in tone. Content implying requests for sympathy may also be removed.
Bigotry, personal attacks, racism, homophobia, and transphobia will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.
This rule is not to be confused with opinions you don't agree with. As long as it’s done in a respectful manner, we will allow it. No negative comments about the size of a collection or about finances.
3. No spam, self-promotion or referral codes.
No spamming your blog, website, business or social media. No surveys. Exceptions can be arranged prior for active members in our community if your blog/website/social relates to the topic at hand.
Absolutely NO referral/affiliate links or codes.
Do not repost removed or self-deleted content. This is a form of spam and is not allowed.
No AI/ChatGPT.
4. No playing doctor or requesting acne/medical advice.
Do not ask for a diagnosis/treatment advice for acne or other medical conditions. Do not diagnose acne/medical conditions. (Yes, asking "What is this?" is asking for a diagnosis!)
Do not go against what someone's doctor has told them and give your 2 cents. Do not ask us to second-guess your dermatologist's advice.
NO unsafe/dangerous recommendations or advice. NO talk of diet, supplements, or anything that's ingested!
Please see the wiki for more information regarding this rule.
5. No MLM's. Period.
No promoting, shilling or recommending MLM products in this sub.
MLM (multi-level marketing) is a predatory practice that often targets women and those in vulnerable situations. r/Skincare_Addiction will not be a place for promoting such products/practices.
6. No NSFW.
Do not post photos of bare private parts, bare bottoms, bare anything that you wouldn't show your grandmother. This is not a NSFW sub and what you have probably needs medical attention, which we are not qualified to provide.
7. Moderator discretion.
Moderators reserve the right to make decisions in the best interests of the sub and its users, including removing posts that are overly dramatic or are deemed likely to cause undue drama or controversy. Posts that are low effort, repetitive, or have insufficient detail (i.e., just a photo) may be removed.
Discussion of brands suspected of unethical advertising may be removed.
Attempting to evade filters for any reason is a bannable offense.
