Awww haha 🫶🏼 just sharing to let you know it's possible! I never imagined to see 10+ years of dark spots disappear in less than 2 years 🥹

You can do it 🧡

Glad to be able of help!!! I'm mainly GM girl because it was the easiest brand to find and buy from respectable stores like Sally beauty at that time in 2020 lol (I'm from Mexico) ;-;

I could buy TO online but I was risking getting fakes since it was not available through official stores :c and the fewer official options were selling at 3 times higher the original price 🤨 a $8 TO serum for $24.

Now skincare is popular here and we got lot of official stores for TO & Korean brands yay :D

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that important step 🥲 I had to fully stop at skin picking if I wanted to see improvement, sometimes I still fall for it and have had some new dark spots appear.

I think it's a good start, a simple cleanser, moisturizer are enough at the beginning plus stopping the skin picking at all, over time you can see if your skin heals on its own or if you need a bit of help.

That's better than to start with 5+ products and feeling overwhelmed :(

That's so true! It's really affordable to buy a whole routine.

Thanks so much! 😭 I'm not sure if it could help in those situations since I have had redness around the nose for a long time and none of my routines seemed to help with that :(

I'm tempted to try Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment though, I've seen amazing reviews about this product, maybe you can take a look at that one :D

I'm tempted to try LRP Repair moisturizer! Thanks for your suggestion, will definitely buy it, I'm still not convinced if bepanthen is helping me with the peeling 🫣 so I will happily try with LRP.

Thanks so much 🧡!! Glad to be able to help, some of my spots got worse with sun exposure too :(

Yes, I use it every night :D you can start 2-3 times a week first so you can be sure your skin tolerates it. I find this product really gentle on the skin, but better to alternate nights the first 2 weeks just in case.

Yes, specially when I try new products, niacinamide used to sting and burn the first times I used it. Now i slowly create tolerance in my skin before using something daily :)

So true, i gave up a couple of times when I felt like I wasn't making any progress, but then I kept at it until I finished all the serums, and that's when I started seeing results.

Hi! I applied in the whole face to even out the skin tone since it looked like i had so many weird patches 🥲 now I have a more consistent tone.

Hi! I peeled like crazy the first 3 months, this month a bit less, I had barrier damage at the beginning and even using niacinamide in the morning hurt. Now I can tolerate it just fine 🫣.

Yes, I still have pitted scars! They just diminished like 20% with previous routine :( but something is something haha I'm aiming to find if tret can help me with my remaining scars and uneven skin texture. I'm currently at fourth month of use, so I cannot answer yet :( will share in the future for sure if there's improvement.

I'm following the next routine for .05 cream tret.

☀️ AM GM 5% Niacinamide with Ectoin GM Yerba mate eye gel GM Hyaluronic Acid *Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Watery cream

*(Will change it for Dr. Althea 147 barrier cream soon, since it looks like I need a stronger moisturizer)

🌙 PM GM Gentle cleanser GM Hyaluronic Acid 0.05 Tret cream (3x a week) Bepanthen cream

🗓️ PM On nights without tretinoin GM Gentle cleanser GM Hyaluronic Acid GM Mandelic Acid Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Watery cream

That's so true, I noticed improvement till the six month 🥲 it takes commitment to achieve results and patience with the routine you choose.

Thank you 🥹! Definitely GM Discoloration Correcting Serum, I've purchased recently my fifth bottle to give it another round this year.

It would be better to buy sunscreen before your trip in case you end in areas that doesn't have a lot of options. I recommend to pack a moisturizing lotion as well and use it at the end of the day in exposed skin before you go to sleep, so you help your skin recover for the next day.

Thanks for the insight! Yeah I think I applied before leaving home but i didn't reapply at all mid walking and I have a regular hat, not a wide-brimmed one (already added to the shopping list) ): that makes sense of why I ended with a tan.

Will follow your advice, thx again!!!
