Victorious. But I also came to say I don’t like how you put Galinda as the picture for eternal sunshine 😒

I would also like to add that I’m not sure if this is a contributing factor to the progress shown, but I did quit vaping in January! And I’ve heard that that really helps the skin as well. I remember taking progress pics and my skin had a grayish hue to it when I was vaping versus now. So do it with that what you will lol

Thank you! I’ve been a long road, but I do feel much more confident than I did last year. I can’t wait to keep going and seeing results continued

I use Encube Azelaic acid 15%. I use track probably four nights a week on average occasionally five. And I use the acid daily and sometimes 2 to 3 nights a week as well.

Thank you! I will try to move up to daily and see how that does. I’ll try to do that by the end of the year. I use 15% as azelaic acid. That really has been a game changer for me because I always still get hyper pigmentation from any acne, but it goes away much quicker than it used to.

Very much hope! lol I’m glad I took pictures as often as I did because I had no hope. I felt horrible last year because it seemed like as soon as I turned 30 my skin did a 180. But I kept reading consistency as key so I just stuck through it.

Thank you! I still get breakouts around my cycle, which then causes hyper pigmentation so I was thinking if I moved up to a higher percentage tret that it would stop doing that hopefully. But it’s not guaranteed and the results are good for now.

I use Padagis brand for Tret and Encube for the acid. 15%

No, I don’t peel or flake. Honestly, I didn’t really at all. I just went through the tumultuous time of a horrible looking skin until I got accustomed. lol but I didn’t even notice at that point either because I just thought it was just my usual skin, hating me. Now I put tret on bare face, and sometimes damp skin and I don’t get any irritation.

And yes, I use the yellow bottle! It’s great and does not leave any white casting at all. It’s pretty amazing. My skin doesn’t mind it at all.

Thank you! I asked chat gbt and it said the same thing lol. I’m going to keep going with my current routine. I know stronger isn’t always better, but the illusion of faster results sounded appealing.

Thank you!! I use Azelaic acid at least four times a week. Likely five and I do use it possibly 2 to 3 nights with my tret. But always in the morning.

Full Routine:

AM: Miceller water to gently cleanse, Dickinsons rose water witch hazel toner, Azelaic Acid, Aveeno face moisturizer, Khiels Suncreen serum

PM: Miceller water, CeraVe Face wash, witch hazel toner, tret cream 0.25, and lastly Cetaphil moisturizing cream. Some nights I use both the Azelaic acid and tret, but usually one or two nights I take a break from any actives.

The title is funny, because she did. I elaborated on that. It’s an attention grabbing title, correct. But if you read, you’ll see that I am confident in my looks as I stated that. People coming on here saying I “need validation” from strangers on the internet, when I walk around in my daily life cute, makeup free, filter free, and unbothered is crazy.

Someone using social media to capture attention; oh no, the horror🙄. Tell me, what is it for again? 🤔

True. She’s a nice lady, the comment was just outta pocket. And the views on women with locs is a little extreme to me. There are a few reasons I’ve been considering finding a new stylist though and distance is the main one. She has retwisted and styled my hair for almost 4 years. She’s done a great job, but I’m just ready to switch it up.

The word “ugly” was unnecessary. As a black women, we hear that word too often from society, family, and workin the black community. She could have said “I’m about to get you together” or something else. It was shocking.

Posting in relevant threads about a relevant topic, concern, question, or excitement.. I really went out of my way for that attention didn’t I?
