  • Retinol works, my sis put me on it at 16 and now I can't imagine living w/o it, granted it's not a necessity but it'll change your life promise. That along with Korean rice masks and the Ordinary serums will do you wonders


    Can I take retinol at 15 tho? And which brand would you recommend?

    I dont really have severe acne or something like that but I've been breaking out a lot lately


    Would recommend getting a retinol under dermatologist prescription only, one because you're too young and don't have SEVERE acne. Two because each retinol type has different strengths and properties depending on what your skin needs are (varies in efficacy/use). With first use it also does cause your skin to break out fully in most cases (which is kinda expected but really freaks you out of youre not warned about it) then it gets better. So better to use it under appropriate dermatologist care.

    Sorry to be a bother, but unless you can DM me a medical diploma of any kinds under your name alongside with your ID, please DO NOT give any medical advice.

    Please see a dermatologist. Info shared should include how long you've been experiencing acne, if it flares at certain times, etc. Topical creams never worked for me other than further drying out my already dry skin - I needed actual pills to treat my condition. I took up K-Beauty too after getting clear to lessen my hyperpigmentation (I'm asian) and repair my skin barrier. Good luck, I know how difficult it can be.

  • Now im thinking i should write a book on "thebadguyism"

    There’s no age limit for retinol/retinoids but whether or not you need it depends on your skin concerns.


    A lot of people go to retinoids first for anti aging since collagen products starts to taper off in your mid 20s, for those reasons there’s no point in starting early.


    In my case I used to treat the sporadic blemishes I had, never really experienced any major breakouts fortunately. My skin has pretty much been flawless since (granted I have to wear sunscreen nonstop)


    so if you’re trying to use retinoids to address acne there’s options out there for you but it can be strong, so like others have said it’s best to seek a derma and exhaust other acne treatments first
