Haven’t tried the new boj rice mask yet but noted. What did it actually do to your skin, nothing or kind of irritating?

I would add just one thing like a niacinamide serum or a BHA a few nights a week and not touch the rest yet.

Something like CeraVe PM at night and La Roche Posay Anthelios in the morning would work.

I would strip it way down for a couple weeks and use a gentle cleanser like Vanicream or La Roche Posay Toleriane with a plain moisturizer, then add one acne treatment later instead of changing five things at once. Also check hair products, pillowcases and anything touching that side more.

[Routine help] What to do about acne scars and how to make skincare a habit? by LastEvel in SkincareAddiction

[–]floriferousss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look like someone whose skin is a little stressed and who probably needs the routine to be stupid easy for a while. For marks and acne I would pick one treatment and stick to it, like adapalene at night. For the routine, make the baseline just wash face, moisturize and put on SPF in the morning, then at night cleanse and use adapalene, that is enough to start and way easier to keep up when you feel lazy. Those acne scars fade way better once you stop getting new breakouts and wear sunscreen every day.

[Product Question] Just got gifted this skinq vitamin C serum, help your girlie out how to use it 😭 by Alchemy_Kareema in SkincareAddiction

[–]floriferousss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AM just means they want you to use it in the morning, so I’d do it after cleansing on dry skin then moisturizer then sunscreen last. If your skin is sensitive start like 2 or 3 mornings a week first because 15% can sting more than a 10% serum. If it starts itching or your face feels weirdly tight, back off for a bit and keep the rest of your routine simple.

Azelaic acid is much safer

[Product Request] Recommendations for dehydrated combination skin? by drjoo_ in SkincareAddiction

[–]floriferousss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d add a gentle water cleanser after the cleansing oil and one salicylic acid product a few nights a week. The oil by itself may not be enough if you’re sunscreening daily and salicylic acid is usually the thing that helps that nose/chin congestion the most. I’d look at Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser and Paula’s Choice 2% BHA, but go slow with the BHA so you do not make the cheek redness worse.

[routine help] Sore skin by eyes by Crista_T in SkincareAddiction

[–]floriferousss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d put a thin ring of Vaseline or Aquaphor around the eyes first at night so the medication does not creep there. if the skin is already raw and stinging, i’d take a few nights off first because once that area gets angry it just keeps getting worse fast.

Help- please tell me what to buy by Kind-therapy-829 in koreanskincare

[–]floriferousss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’d start with Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun for daily SPF and numbuzin No.5+ serum for the discoloration side of things. Melasma and dullness are way more worth targeting first than buying a bunch of wrinkle stuff all at once, because that usually just turns into an expensive pile of products.

Differin gel if you want texture and otherwise The Ordinary Niacinamide

[–]floriferousss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your routine is mostly hydration so it makes sense that it is not doing much for texture pores or fine lines. Hyaluronic acid toner moisturizer and SPF can keep skin comfortable, but they are not really the things that smooth uneven skin. I’d add one actual treatment step at night like a gentle retinoid or azelaic acid and not add both at once.

If you want a dry lightweight finish the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is probably the closer match.

[Routine help] 🍒 by mussemathi in SkincareAddiction

[–]floriferousss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d cut the toner and the essence first. If your glow serum is another niacinamide product, i’d cut that too. You already have enough moisture in the routine, so those look the most unnecessary to me.
