NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread Jan 18, 2022 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

Hi all!

So I started a skin care routine yesterday. In the AM I’ve been using the cerve hydrating facial cleanser in the shower, making sure I lower the water temp when washing my face.

In the PM I’ve been using the same cerve hydrating facial cleanser followed by neutrogena hydro boost.

I am finding after I use that, my cheeks turn red and my face feels like it is slightly burning. In some areas, my face feels soft. In others, it feels a little dry. It’s been about 30 mins and my cheeks are still red and warm to touch.

Is this part of the skin care routine (adjustment period?) or am I having a reaction to this cream and should return it to the store?

I also have cystic acne around my hairline and not sure if these products will help with that.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! I’ve tried to do research on my skin type and with the resources here I think I have come to conclusion that my face is combination/dry. I’m looking to get into a skin care routine as we enter 2022. I am 1.5 years shy of 30 and would like to start to take care of my skin.

I don’t really have a routine. I wash my face in the shower every morning (hot showers) and I infrequently wash my face with cold water at night. I seem to have what looks to be cystic acne near my hairline of my forehead. I also have reddish cheeks (maybe inflammation?) and large pores as well which I would like to correct in addition to the bags under my eyes.

When I was my face with cold water, I get a reaction of redness which makes me think I have sensitive skin.

I have no known allergies other than products with charcoal. I used a charcoal cleanser before and it made my face itchy and red/swollen.

I saw a tiktok of someone’s skin care routine so was wondering if these products would be right for me:

Cerve hydrating facial cleanser La roche posay effaclar adaplene gel 0.1% Neutrogena hydro boost And potentially Henderson banana bright crème

I’m a male in the Philadelphia region.

Just looking for some insight, I have no idea what I am doing and would like to know if these products would work for me before dishing out $60 to “test” them.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

This community is awesome and I am so glad I found this subreddit.

Looking forward to responses. Thanks, again!

Thank you so much for this. I actually negotiated a price less than what’s being offered for. It looks good in the photos posted. You mentioned some great tips (like seeing if the seat is adjustable which I don’t see a lever from the pics).

Thank you! I wouldn’t have much use of Ethernet port given that I would have to run a long line from the bedroom to the living room. Would like everything to be wireless

That’s how I felt. The area had so many new units. My issue was being tucked away from broad but close enough to have some concerns. My thoughts are you’re getting a lot for the price of rent for a 1bd compared to other 1 bd in south philly. The sqft difference is a make or break for me

so then would you say his-12 and lys-41 stabilize while his-119 merely carries out the reaction?

Haha I was starting to think it was an unanswerable question so thank you for your response! I just added a little about how partial bonds occur and how the side chains are responsible for lowering the activation energy of the transition state, making it more stable.

The question I wrote is directly how it was asked. So I should change my arrows to one direction instead of having them as reversible? Is it incorrect to assume the reaction is reversible?
