It largely depends on where you live and how quickly you need the items. As a general rule, if you're willing to wait a bit, you can find items much cheaper from non-Prime sellers on Amazon and overseas sellers on eBay. Also, if you're just purchasing a few things and they are heavy items, I find it's usually cheaper to stay away from sites with high shipping charges by weight, like Testerkorea and RoseRoseShop.
I usually do a lot of research when I make a new product purchase to find the lowest price from a reputable seller that I can. Partly because I just like shopping online for AB stuff and partly because I make it into a sort of game to see how cheap I can find something. It's like a hobby for me.
I recommend the Honey browser extension for Amazon. If you're looking for something it will tell you if there's a cheaper price available from another seller. It also goes through available coupon codes on many other online sites to see if there's one in the database that works for your order.
Anyway, I'm not sure where you live, but I did a bit of looking (I'm in the U.S.), and this is what I came up with. I can't guarantee these are the best prices out there -- just what I found from a bit of quick looking at a few different places.
Hado Labo foam for $9.40 with free shipping on Amazon (not Prime) here
The Face Shop Cleansing Oil - $9.58 with free shipping from Jolse here or $10.20 on Amazon Prime here.
Shiseido Aging Care Sunscreen on Amazon for $8.20 with free shipping (non-Prime) here.
Rosette Aqua Ceramide Gel - $12.45 with free shipping (non-Prime) on Amazon here.
Raves:
Etude House Cat Headband- I got this as a freebie and I looove it. I feel so cute when I do my routine, it keeps my bangs out of my products, and my SO seems to like it too. It's funny that such a small thing can make me feel happy~
It's My Cushion(Black and Mint)- I am so upset with myself for waiting so long to get a cushion. I use the Black for BB Cream and the Mint for sunscreen.
I don't get gross BB Cream or sunscreen all over the back of my hand, I feel like it's more sanitary because I'm not touching all over my freshly cleaned face, and it gives a better finish to my application. I also use less product. And since I'm using my own BB cream, I can refill it easily(one bottle costs about the same as a good BB cushion, and lasts me around two years)
Rosette Ceramide Gel- The elusive "chok chok" feeling, just like CosRx Honey Ceramide Cream gave me, but without an allergic reaction from the honey. It dries a little more slowly, but is also more matte, which makes applying my sunscreen and makeup easier. To me, it also feels a lot lighter, but only a tiny bit less moisturizing than the CosRx.
Rave/Rant:
Beauty People Lip Tattoo(Tomato and Strawberry)- TL;DR Great product, but why does Korea only ever make lip products in four colors?!
First, the good: It doesn't dry my lips out horribly like most lip tints, and it lasts. Like, will not come off even with oil cleanser. And it doesn't highlight damaged parts of my lip like other tints. Full coverage!
It's very pigmented. If you look good in bright lipsticks, you will love this. The tomato is(well, like a tomato, facepalm) bright orange-red, not a true red, which was disappointing to me as I look horrible in orange. And the strawberry is like if you added cool undertones to hot pink. However, I favor a more natural look. I was hoping to do what I did with my old tint, and either only put on a thin layer, or apply it more thickly, then heavily blot to bring it close to my natural color.
You can't apply it thinly, it just doesn't work. But you can do the blotting method if you're very quick. If you leave the product sitting for more than about 7-10 seconds, it'll be there the rest of the day. Nothing you can do about it. Don't touch it with your fingers, and don't try and use your toothbrush to remove it either(stained hands and one ruined toothbrush later...)
Even a thin layer does last all day though. I think this would be a fantastic product for someone who loves bright lipstick. It's also great for people whose lips get dried out from other lip tints, or for people who tend to rub off their lip products.
I do like the lasting power and I can make it work for now, so I'm keeping the Tomato and getting rid of Strawberry. But I'll be trying other lip stains until I can find an HG that is long lasting and a good color, so I'll have more reviews for you later. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
I've heard PeriPera Inks are nice too, but they have pretty much the same shades, so I'll probably try something else...
I got this one, and it had a seal with the little spatula on top of the seal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FQNIX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
My first time trying the product -- I think it's real and my skin seems to like it. Hoping the one you got was not this seller :/
Welcome! :) Ceramide products are good at repairing your skin's moisture barrier and are good moisturizing products. If these sound like things you are looking for, I highly recommend getting some products with ceramide in them! A popular product is the Rosette Ceramide Gel.
Vitamin C is a good idea, just make sure you start slow, like once a week. Also, actives such as vitamin C are a form of chemical exfoliation. You want to make sure you have a few solid moisturizers at the ready to compensate for the drying nature of actives.
Snails are a great idea too, but they don't have the same mind-blowing affect for everyone who uses them. Its a very Your Milage May Vary (YMMV) sort of thing! A popular snail product is the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. This product has 96% snail mucin, so it'd be a good way to see if snail is an effective ingredient for you. (because 10% snail in a good cream may give you good results, but it may not be because of the snail if you catch my drift!)
However! First and foremost, if hyperpigmentation is your problem and you have no routine, start with a sunscreen! If the word makes you cringe, don't worry, AB sunscreens don't tend to be as thick and sticky as Western suncreens.
Which brings me to two threads you should start with. The AB Beginner Guide is a good place for basic information. The Holy Grail Thread is a good place to see what products people with your same skintype swear by.
ALSO I wouldn't recommend using sheet masks meant for your face on the rest of your body. Sheet masks are usually a temporary fix for your skin issues and I would not rely on them to do any major skin whitening. I'd pick a product that you can use on the body and that will give you consistent results. Try products with niacinimide and arbutin, which are whitening ingredients.
That's what I have to contribute! Feel free to ask more questions and good luck!
If you have a Sally's nearby you can get a dupe from GVP someone recently posted about it, and several people commented that they liked it
Dr. Dray reviewed this cream, and said it was very similar to the Hydro Boost, and that she even liked it better. Right now it's more expensive at $18 but I've seen it go down to $10 on Amazon, it's worth keeping an eye on for a sale
Rosette Ceramide Gel is similar too
Cleansers (Unless you're using a medicated cleanser most skincare products aren't really going to prevent acne.)
Mochitto Mochi Mochi Face Wash
Hada Labo Gokujun Oil Cleanser (200ml)
Hada Labo Gokujun Hyaluronic Cleansing Foam (160ml)
Medicated Deep Cleansing Oil L (200ml)
Cow Brand Additive-Free Foaming Facial Cleanser (200ml)
Rohto Hadalabo es cleansing foam type (160ML)
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (170ml)
Spot Treatment
Since your acne is deep in the skin I would look for a dermatologist that also serves foreigners because unless I'm mistaken a lot of products with Benzoyl Peroxide etc are prescription only.

I have both aging concerns (I'm 39) and breakout prone skin and early this year I started implementing a skincare routine with mostly Korean products and it has helped tremendously (thanks r/asianbeauty!) Prior to this the ONLY moisturizer I'd ever found that did not break me out in cystic spots was the Clinique DDM gel moisturizer which isn't really very moisturizing.
With the k-beauty stuff I added BHA and AHA which helps with both acne and aging.
Another important thing to consider is PH. High PH cleansers like your Neutrogena scrub or Cetaphil are really not good for your skin. Some great low PH cleansers are Cerave foaming cleanser (not Korean/Asian), Su:m 37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EIMU3NU/ref=sxts2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482935590&sr=2 ) and Hado Labo Gokujyn Cleansing Foam ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036MDUEM/ref=sxts1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482935590&sr=1 )
My current routine is:
AM:
PM:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OZEJ8R8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482936697&sr=8-1&keywords=cosrx+bha+blackhead+power+liquid

(Then wait 20 minutes)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ATLVNIS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482936487&sr=8-2&keywords=missha+time+revolution
None of these products has broken me out. Since you are younger you might not feel the need for the anti-aging products I use (but it's never too early to start!)
As far as makeup: day-to-day I use powder foundation (Dermablend Intense Powder Camo) but for special occasions I use Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, it's the only full coverage liquid foundation that I have found that doesn't give me cystic spots OR totally break up on my nose from oil. It's pricey but a little goes a long way.
HTH! Good luck!
Lots of people like the Kiku holy long name watchacallit lotion moist (it's the pink bottle). It's a toner so I don't know how you would prefer that.
There's also the Rosette Ceramide Gel. People say that's pretty nice too.
Edit: found the links
How much are you paying for Mizon? That brand is pretty cheap in my experience. CosRX has a similar snail cream, but I'd expect both to be around the same price point.
If you want the cheapest of the cheap you could go for the snail repair gel in the pink tube. Mizon's black snail AIO tends to be a little cheaper than the regular AIO; it has kind of an old lady smell, but I find it to be extremely soothing and still use it because I haven't found another product that works quite as well for immediately calming irritated skin.
If you're willing to move away from snail products, I've heard good things about the Rosette Aqua Ceramide gel and the Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel.
I can totally relate!!! It's taken me about 4-5 months. I began seeing results within a couple weeks, but consistency is key.
Vaseline and ROSETTE have helped me a lot! I find that layering helps. Depending on the weather, I only wash my face once a day -
when taking off my makeup. SPF 30 or greater is an absolute must. There are options that are more moisturizing than others. I have sensitive skin so I have to be mindful of products that have fragrance.
If there is an ingredient that irritates your skin by making it drier then I would find products without that ingredient.
ROSETTE: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FQNIX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
You could try the Rosette Ceramide Gel. I've heard some great things about it here.
Here's a link to it on Amazon. I've purchased it from here recently, I haven't gotten it yet to review though.
And a link to a reddit thread about it.
Rosette Ceramide Gel (CosRX)! Near dupe of Cerave PM, but without the fatty alcohols.
I LOVE AZELAIC ACID. So I pretty well thought I would live with a red face forever along with a severely damaged moisture barrier. The biggest thing that helped me was azelaic acid. I use Melazepam from Amazon. Cheap and works! It's thick at first but smoothes into my skin leaving it kinda matte. At first it itched like crazy and I wasn't using it consistently enough. Then after more research, I decided to use it up and give it a chance. Along with anything high in ceramide, my skin got used to the 20% AzA. Maybe around the 10th day of twice daily use, my skin finally started to look normal. I also switch my oil cleanser to an olive oil based one and saw even more improvement in my redness. I've just added in Vit C to my under eye area and continuing to use Melazepam around the rest of my face and neck and my ENTIRE COMPLEXION is EVEN NOW! Would never have believed that was possible. Melazepam has also minimized my SFs on my nose, has finally stopped this ingrown hair on my neck from forming (I've had it for years!!!), and has cleared all the CCs on my forehead. I repeat: I loooooove azelaic acid, specifically Melazepam!
Current routine:
AM
Garnier Micellar Water - pink cap or Cerave Foaming cleanser
Cosrx Aha/bha Clarifying Treatment Toner
BELITAE Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid to my under eye area and upper cheeks
Melazepam to the rest of my face and neck, especially my nose. Sometimes I wait after the Vit C but not usually since I don't use them in the same spots.
I do wait 15-20 minutes after my actives step.
SCINIC First Treatment Essence 3 skin method. My face loves this more than the Missha FTE.
SCINIC Snail All In One Ampoule or SCINIC Honey All In One Ampoule depending on the day.
CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion
A'PIEU PURE BLOCK Natural Sun Cream SPF45/PA+++ I don't see much sunlight at all but when I do, this one keeps me from turning beet red imediately upon application.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Derma Green-Cure Solution Recover Cream This is the best thing I've found for redness and skin barrier repair! My skin loves ceramides so much and this soothes like nothing I've found yet.
Medela Tender Care Lanolin Tube on my lips. Yes it's nip cream. I couldn't use it all up while nursing and it causes my skin to redden so it's perfect for a little lip color.
PM
ROHTO Hada Labo Gokujun Cleansing Oil My skin reacted to Holika Holika Soda Pore B.b Deep Cleansing Oil so this is my second one to try and I'm really enjoying it.
Cerave Foaming cleanser with a konjac sponge but waiting on
Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam in the mail.
Cosrx Aha/bha Clarifying Treatment Toner
BELITAE Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid to my under eye area and upper cheeks
Melazepam to the rest of my face and neck, especially my nose like the AM.
SCINIC First Treatment Essence 3 skin method.
All depending on how I'm feeling that evening:
LJH TeaTree 90 Essence
SCINIC Snail All In One Ampoule
SCINIC Honey All In One Ampoule
Cosrx Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence
Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
MIZON Snail Repair Eye Cream
Petitfee Black Pearl and Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch Not sure if I like these or not honestly...
Some or all of these layers followed by CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion and
Guerisson 9 Complex Horse Oil Cream
Pretty sure my shower filter, Mermosis, has also helped my skin and hair.
I also use sometimes REVITABOOST PEEL Anti-Aging Peel Pads or Cosrx Bha Blackhead Power Liquid but I skip my AzA on those days and just go back to my regular routine the following day. These are rare for me though because they make me ridiculously red again.
Things I'm waiting on in the mail:
ROSETTE Aqua Ceramide Gel
Rumase BIFIDA Snail Toner
Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam
It's Skin Power 10 Formula - PO Effector
Hoping the all work well for me too!
The only other options I can think of are a ceramide gel and/or a sleeping pack nightly. Ceramides repair the moisture barrier and essential work to cure dehydration of the skin. Sleeping packs seal in moisture overnight and you rinse them off in the morning. I'm partial to Korean skincare products so I'd suggest checking out r/AsianBeauty . There's a thread with recent holy grail items here!
Aaannd Part 2^(the links made it too long ;_;)
On the 11th day of Christmas, my Snailer snailed to me eleven Yeasty Essences, ten Brightening Essences, nine Ceramide Gels, eight Melting Lip Tints, seven Warming Eye Masks, six Donkey Sheet Masks, five Sleeping Masks, four Berry Bombs, three pH Strips, two facial oils, and a Kikumasamune.

Phew! It'd be so lovely if Christmas were like this :P
Edit: Formatting^(I knew I'd mess up somewhere! lol)
Thanks for your great reply :)
I'm unsure whether I'm sensitive to fatty alcohols tbh but I don't think my skin is usually sensitive to alcohol
I checked out the things you recommended:
I'm really trying to do what's best! :( I'm using Cetaphil cleanser but it stings my face :( I do have Innisfree Bija gel cleanser coming maybe that will be better but who knows.
This would be a lot easier if I had money lol
Really? The link I'm looking at has it on Prime: here for $13.80. I apologize if you're looking for it from outside the US though and would also suggest Rakuten otherwise.
Hi there! I only have KP on my arms, but I have been using Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream (not AB, sorry). I originally bought it to use as an AHA step for my face, but I'm taking a break from actives on my face right now. So, not wanting to waste it, I started using it on my arms. It has actually really helped! Probably thanks to the AHA. You might also want to add a BHA if your pores are getting clogged.
Also, I haven't tried this on my arms, but I've recently started the Rosette Ceramide Gel on my face and HOLY WOW. In like 3 days it's drastically improved my skin. It is so much smoother and glowing! I might try using it on my arms soon, I feel like it would help the texture drastically.
I have a feeling that moisturizing helps my KP in general, so whatever I use I try to make sure my skin stays nice and moisturized. YMMV, though.
What are you using to wash your skin? It might be too harsh and drying. Also, if Cerave is burning your skin you should stop using it. It sounds like your skin is dry, dehydrated and irritated. Have you tried olive oil, Vaseline or cocoa butter on your face before? Right now, it appears that your skin doesn't like one or more of the products that you have been using. So if you are introducing those things for the first time, definitely try it on a tiny part of your face before using it all over your skin.
Personally, Cerave, olive oil, cocoa butter and Vaseline all irritated my skin. If none of them work for you, you will have to buy additional skincare products. I use this and this for when my skin is irritated and damaged. I also like this but shipping and processing takes much longer.
For more immediate relief, I suggest stop washing your skin with a cleanser, stay in the steamy bathroom after a shower and put on some aloe vera or Vaseline (if you already know your skin is fine with this). Once you do the patch test and find things that won't irritate your skin, then you can start applying them.
REQUEST
I've been using Can Make Mermaid UV Skin Gel for a while now and ADORE IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It's a hydrating SPF emulsion that hydrates, has no white cast, and is sooo lovely to use. I'm spoiled, and now that warm temperatures are on and ten thousand layers are off, I want a similarly luxurious SPF for my chest/arms/legs/feet for day to day wear. No white cast, no SPF smell, hopefully that's also hydrating. The Mermaid gel isn't expensive... but it will be if I use it everywhere (I want to use it everywhere.) I'm not trying to get spendy here.. but I can probably be convinced :) Also, if you haven't tried this sunscreen, what are you doing? I feel for you. It's the best. Especially if you are prone to breaking out!

ehhh, I don't always wash my face more than once a day. I'm a SAHM, so I don't always get out of the house. I've been trying to wear makeup in an effort for force myself to cleanse my face at night, but it has been irritating the bejesus out of my face. I likely have pre-rosacea (it runs in the family) and my face gets tight/hot/sensitive every time I try.
I specifically [want help with/am looking for a product to/am curious about trying]...
I am just starting my journey into Asian/Korean beauty. I have a a friend who has been helping me along. I have ROSETTE | Skin Care | Aqua Ceramide Gel on deck to replace my YTTP moisturizer. I am also nearly finished with my PC cleanser, and I tried the Cosrx low ph but it really irritated my skin. I am waiting to try the Innisfree Blueberry cleanser that was recommended to me in a previous thread. I also have some Alpha Lipoic acid from The Ordinary, but I'm not sure where to put it.
I am looking for tips, product suggestions, and order of operation advice!
I got mine off Amazon from a seller called Sukiyaki Japan. I'm not sure if this link works for Canada but this is where I ordered from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FQNIX0?ref=olp_product_details
If you look at other sellers you'll see a bunch listed with pretty positive ratings. If the link doesn't work for you, try searching "B000FQNIX0" which is the product's ASIN (kind of like an amazon product sku). Hope this helps :)
This is what i posted on AsianBeauty, but i also really wanted to post on here because you guys helped me A LOT in understanding the way the skin works (pH, AHAs, BHAs, oil cleansing, etc... even my moisturizer!! i got it from your guys' recommendations!!❤ )
I work in an environment where there is a lot of bicarbonate in the air. Since bicarbonate is alkaline, im worried that im messing with my skin's pH. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to combat the alkalinity with maybe a toner, or lotion, or anything?!! something that would bring my skin's pH down to the slightly acidic level it should be at. I've also noticed my skin get a lot drier ever since starting work there. Has anyone tried ROSETTE Ceramide Gel?? How does it compare with the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion i currently use in my routine?
I'm asking AsianBeauty because your products & recommendations helped me a lot!!
PS, i think my skin is clog-prone, so keep that in mind when recommending products!! (i've read a lot that people got clogged skin from the CeraVe that i use, but to me, it doesn't clog my skin at all! just thought i'd mention it since even though it clogs a lot of people's skin, it doesn't clog mine, so still recommend whatever it is that came to mind!! even if it may clog skin!!)
Skin type: on the sensitive side || Country/Climate i'm in: Canada // colder weather approaching now :(((
Top Skin Concern: CCs and hyperpigmentation, and acne :(((
Current Routine / Products I'm Using:
AM
on Thursdays and Sundays, after splashing my face with water and patting dry, i apply ZOMEDICAL Glycogent and then follow up with the rest of the routine (Cerave and EltaMD)
PM
on Thursdays and Sundays, instead of washing with the Hada Labo cleansing foam, i wash with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser and then apply ZOMEDICAL Brightenex, and i DO NOT apply the CeraVe lotion over that
I'm an 18-year old female, if that helps, who may or may not have hormonal issues (don't get a regular period :/) and i eat gluten- and dairy- free, and i limit the amount of sweets i have (mainly i eat protein and veggies, or protein and fruits throughout the day). Also, i drink only teas and water (no fruit juices, coffee, or pop!). I also don't eat artifical things/things with preservatives, etc. (i like to eat things that are minimally processed).
Any help is appreciated
Sorry for the lengthy post, i just want to make sure you have as much info so you can best recommend something for me!!
TL;DR started working where the air is alkaline. worried about that fucking up my skin's pH and the horrible clogged skin, dry skin, reddness, etc, that results from that. wondering if there's anything i could add to my routine to combat the alkalinity -- perhaps a toner, lotion, etc, that will bring down my skin's pH to a more acidic level (as it naturally should be slightly acidic). ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ❤❤
*edited for formatting lol ❤
Aside from the lists that we can find on the sub, I'm not sure off the top of my head of ampoules or serums that contain ceramides. Of course, we can find plenty of creams and other moisturizing products that are full of ceramides. The Rosette Ceramide Gel is going for about $12 with free shipping on Amazon, here, and you can find plenty of reviews on the sub. I ordered one and I'm pretty excited to start using it. Maybe this could help in combo with your toner and emulsion? What are you using to moisturize at the moment, besides the emulsion?

Hey everyone!
I recently started getting into Asianbeauty and as adviced by this post I bought a few items and intend to introduce them step by step. Since I am basically starting at zero I thought I'd just try the more popular ones at first and bought the COSRX Snail 92 Cream after reading about it here.
To test how my skin reacts to it I decided to use nothing else at first, no cleanser or anything. After a couple of days of usage I noticed a little bit of flaking and decided to use the Sebamed Gel underneath since it's a very minimalist product that I'm pretty sure doesn't break me out.
I tend to get noticeably shiny/oily after a while, but that doesn't bother me too much, though I've read that this might be because of dehydrated skin. So after reading about Moisture Meters, I bought this thingy since I was curious what it'll say about my skin. So after washing my face with water and applying my two products I waited a couple of minutes and tried it out and it showed 40% in the "water" section. Some hours passed and now I'm around 35% with +/- 1-2% variation depending on where I measure it. I've read that fully moistured it should be about 60%, so what's up with that and what do I do about it? Of course this is just a cheap tool and it's not my main goal to reach exactly 60%, but still the numbers I got seemed kind of low. I'm sure it's not broken or anything since it shows pretty high numbers if I for example wet my skin, dry it off a little and then measure the moisture.
Does this mean the COSRX 92 snail cream even in combination with the Sebamed Gel is just not enough and I need additional hydrating products? I'm currently just testing how my skin reacts to the COSRX 92 cream, so I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea to just add additional products already, but I'm also not sure if I should continue using only these two products, essentially leaving my skin under-hydrated for the time being. Does this maybe mean I need an entirely different product, at least as of now?
I also bought the ROSETTE Ceramide Gel since it was also pretty high on this list, though I'm currently not using it.
Hi everyone,
Dry/acne-prone skin here. I live in San Francisco, California. Trying to start a new routine to prevent and wipe out redness/CC's.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this routine/products. I've left a few questions/things I'm wondering about below. I also included links below to Amazon pages (this was part of my criteria for choosing products, haha).

Thank you! Is this product on Amazon Prime the same thing?

The Rosette can be purchased from Amazon.co.jp through Amazon Global. I haven't purchased from this site yet, but others have said shipping is very fast - about a week (or less!) to get their items. Here's the thread about purchasing from Amazon.co.jp.
Some people are sensitive to the nut oil in the Rosette, and the Meishoku Ceracolla Perfect Gel is similar but without the oil.
Late to the party but I wanted to chime in cause I'm on the second month of my second round of Accutane, currently at 60mg.
Basically your skin profile will change to sensitive, dry and dehydrated and you have to treat it as such, which means a lot of pampering for the next couple of months. I took the general advice of nothing but CeraVe and Aquaphor for my first course and I think I did more damage that way. I switched over to r/AsianBeauty afterwards trying to fix the leftover scars and because of all I've learned over there, my second round is going quite smoothly.
Here's what I do:
I only do the oil & foam cleanse at night, usually just water in the morning. With this routine I've actually been able to use a couple actives with no problems, mainly Stridex in the red box every other day at the beginning to calm my initial breakout.Another trick I use is I apply a thin layer of Prosacea to affected areas. You can get these two at a CVS or Walgreens. Also, I'm a picker and I found that if I pick and pop something, this routine plus a hydrocolloid bandage on top works miracles: the zit heals faster than it should on Accutane and the mark it leaves behind is gone/significantly faded within two weeks.
Results: Two months into accutane and my skin shows no signs of dryness. It stays hydrated all day so all I have to worry about is my chapped lips. My scars are fading at a phenomenal rate and I even glow a little from all the moisture. You may find it daunting at first, so maybe start out with the foam cleanser, the toner, the ceramide gel and the sunscreen. I'd also suggest going over to r/AsianBeauty and doing a search for dry, sensitive skin if you want more options.
I hope this helps and good luck! You'll look and feel amazing afterwards.
Edit: Supplements! I take fish oil, evening primrose oil and vitamin D.
Ok. Many thanks for the replies by the way. I'm in the uk, is the link below the same ceramide gel you use?

If i used that as a 'base' layer then my aveeno skin care on top...would that be an acceptable combo do you feel?
As I have learned about skincare I realized that my skin is dry/combination, and my face has gotten much less oily since I started to focus on hydration and moisturizing. I inherited my skin from my mom, who pretty much worships at the altar of benzoyl peroxide and SA. I want to show her the light by buying her a basic set of products that focuses on hydration.
She is a bit stubborn so I want to get her a regimen that 1) is simple—uses three or less products—and 2) feels good to use—has high cosmetic elegance. I did some research and came up with this:
Hada Lobo Gentle Hydrating CleanserElegant, has hyaluronic acid, gentleedit: replacing this with Hada Labo Gokujun HA Cleansing Foam
Hada Labo Rohto Gokujun Lotion
Rosette Aqua Ceramide Gel
Just want to do a sanity check and make sure this is a good set of products before I spend the money on it. Any critiques or suggestions? She already uses decent sunscreen.
