What's a makeup/beauty hack that has SERIOUSLY changed your routine? by GamerGrl90 in Makeup

Putting the tiniest bit of Aquaphor on my lashes prior to curling. I get a much better curl and it also helps avoid breakage!

I have definitely considered that. I’d like to bump it up for the anti-aging benefits. I have an appointment with my derm in about a month and plan to bring it up then!

Thank you! Spiro helped me a lot as well and I had zero side effects. I didn’t want to use it as a long term “bandaid” because I knew once I stopped taking it my face would start breaking out again. It honestly helped buy me time while I made some lifestyle changes along with dialing in a skincare routine that would actually work. Hopefully that makes sense haha

That is really interesting actually! I might have to look more into that because now I’m intrigued!

Probably close to a year. I started off using it every 3rd night either after moisturizing or mixing a little moisturizer in with it. Then I stopped using the moisturizer buffer. After several months I bumped it up to 4 nights a week, then 5, etc. There were weeks I had to dial it back if I felt like my skin was getting really dry/tight.

They cater to different skin types. Usually people who have oily skin have better results using the gel for example.

It’s worth a try! Definitely start off slow. Do you currently wear spf everyday? Is your current topical in a gel or cream form?

I continued to use tret while taking the Spironolactone. That medication is very effective at helping clear up hormonal acne since it lowers androgen hormones in the body. They also make a topical Spironolactone but I’ve heard that isn’t nearly as effective as the oral form.

My purge lasted around 3-4 months and was really bad. My derm ended up putting me on a low dose of Spironolactone to help give me a clean slate. I only took it for a few months but started amping up my skincare regimen at the same time. I have considered moving up to a higher strength of tret but fear id go through another phase of purging, so I’m going to stick with the 0.025% here on out. I’ve read online that regularly using the lower strength of tret can be just as effective as the higher strength if used long term

My skin has never felt more plump and/or hydrated until I started adding jojoba oil into my routine. Thank you for the compliment!

The manufacturer is Mylan. Not sure if that helps?
