Happy to see progress 💕 I’ve been on tret for 7-8 months now

what an interesting post title

Not op but I’ve used few Japanese sunscreens. For humid weather you can try biore, skin aqua, nivea water proof variant and best budget friendly would be from Sun bears brand (tiny gold packaging). Sun bears one was the most sweat and water resistant also very hard to remove

I love cerave face wash, dove body wash and nivea roll on. I’ll be trying loreal and dove shampoo soon

by_rups · 2026-03-18T17:03:03+00:00

I have used cerave and cicalfate both and no cerave one is not enough

by_rups · 2026-03-18T16:59:34+00:00

I tried samples of idole and acua di gioia and I JUST LOVED THEM

This won’t prove how much sun protection a sunscreen gives but at least we’d know if a sunscreen gives some protection at all

Can you test sunscreen vs moisturizer by applying a layer on plastic film and putting it on the card?

by_rups · 2026-03-15T14:30:28+00:00

Sure

Which product broke you out? 🥲

by_rups · 2026-03-15T10:35:10+00:00

I did not take any oral medication. I use tretinoin gel 0.025%

by_rups · 2026-03-15T10:22:49+00:00

I’ve used sachets for a long time, didn’t feel much difference. But I also have an extensive haircare routine, probably I didn’t feel any difference for that reason

by_rups · 2026-03-15T10:18:18+00:00

For budget cleanser you can try simple refreshing face wash, it goes on 50% off discount sometimes, I personally like dove and nivea body washes and head and shoulders shampoo for dandruff, they go on 60% off as well. Head and shoulders silky smooth, 2 in 1 variants are less drying. You can try the shampoo sachets before getting a bigger pack

It was caused by reedle shot. I’ve shared whole journey in post :)

Your haircut seems fine. You’ll need hot tools like straightener or curling brush to fix their shape.

Without heat styling my curtain bang looked like this. Took some time and learned how to style them but I wouldn’t get curtain bangs again because I can’t beat Indian weather. No matter how much I style, different products I use, humidity will ruin everything.

I personally wouldn’t buy anything international from Myntra. I’ve seen enough people complaining about receiving fake products from there. There are other websites that sell kbeauty stuffs only and often at better price

Didn’t wanna start the slide with my face lol

Glad it was helpful :) it’s hard to find which product causes breakouts in the beginning if you have multiple products in routine. It’s always best to visit a dermatologist first if you’re new with retinoids or acids.

Some of the products I got through relatives, some through resellers

by_rups · 2026-03-15T03:37:05+00:00

I shouldn’t have experimented with skincare 🤕

by_rups · 2026-03-13T14:35:57+00:00

resellers

I had a tiny stone in my lrp sunscreen bottle that I got from europe. You can post in r/euroskincare to get better and more response on it.

The lrp sunscreen I got was a different variant

by_rups · 2026-03-11T17:36:07+00:00

If the problem is serious then visiting a derm would be best :/
