u/TooManyPoisons · 57 pointsr/AskMen

Copying from my previous comment from earlier in the thread:

Face lotion alone is NOT providing nearly enough SPF coverage. Come over to r/skincareaddiction! :) There are many sunscreens out there that feel like lotion but are highly protective. I personally use an Asian brand that is SPF 50 and protects against both UVA and UVB rays, something most standard sunscreens don't do. It's only $12 on Amazon and lasts me a couple months. After it dries, I can't even tell I'm wearing sunscreen.

My typical morning routine for my face is:

  1. Cleanser (then wash it off)

  2. Toner

  3. Moisturizer

  4. Sunscreen

    I also add sunscreen to any exposed skin on the rest of my body. This sunscreen is cheap enough that I feel fine using it for my full body.

    I repeat this whole process at night (excluding the sunscreen). I also add Vitamin C serum after the toner, which also helps with anti-aging (promotes collagen growth).

    The whole thing takes less than 5 minutes, plus a couple minutes between each stage to let it dry. Wrinkles are SO hard to reverse... the best solution is prevention while you're still young! Plus, as someone whose parents have both gone through cancer, skin cancer is not something I take lightly.

    EDIT: I've had many requests for my exact products so I'm adding them here. Everyone's skin is a little different, so I would definitely advise doing your own research to find what works best for you. For reference, I have clear (little-to-no acne) skin, not too dry or oily.

    For each product, make sure you do a patch test to ensure you don't have a bad reaction. They're all pretty gentle so you should be okay, but always good to be safe.

    Cleanser: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

    Toner: KLAIRS Supple Preparation Facial Toner

    Moisturizer: Trader Joe's Nourish Oil-Free Antioxidant Facial Moisturizer (this is cheaper in store)

    Sunscreen: Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel pump (SPF50 + PA ++++) (takes like a month to deliver so I usually buy multiple at a time)

    Vitamin C serum: Dr. Brenner Vit C parent (small bottle but a little goes a long way)
u/DarknetSurgeon · 7 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

It may have also been due to SLS or SLES! I recently switched over to Vanicream cleanser, $7 and 10% sulfur ointment, $8 as recommended as my curology provider and a lot of the irritation and texture is slowly beginning to fade from my face. Also, I read that snail mucin is excellent for hydration; Cosrx snail 96 mucin is only 15 bucks on Amazon. No fragrance or SLS for me anymore...

u/kaybeezeey · 4 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I use Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. It's the only cleanser I've been able to find that's completely free of fatty alcohols, SLS, and fragrances! I think it's just straight fairy dust. It also comes in a bar form that I've been using for the last 3 - 4 days since my local store didn't have the pump and it seems to be working fine. I bought a little container for the bar to keep it clean.

u/gigantic_trex · 4 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Is the redness just general redness in your skin, or is it redness leftover by acne? Either way:

I would start by finding a new cleanser, both AM and PM. Scrubs are very harsh and bar soaps are stripping and typically not the right pH for skin. Both off these things can compromise your skin barrier and make it look and feel worse, as well as inhibit it's ability to protect itself and heal. Your skin is your largest organ, don't think of it as something that needs to be dried out and stripped, it needs to be hydrated, moisturized, and healthy. I think this could definitely be contributing to your redness, at least in part. The most popular recommendations are listed in the holy grail cleanser thread, but CeraVe Hydrating, Neutrogena Hydrating, or Vanicream are good places to start.

I couldn't find your moisturizer, so I've got nothing in it specifically, but yet again, there's a holy grail thread for that. If you're concerned about redness, you could look for one that contains niacinamide, which helps a lot in reducing redness. CeraVe PM is a good drugstore moisturizer that contains ceramides, hylauronic acid, and niacinamide, all of which are very good for your skin.

The last thing you need for a good basic routine (and before you should start adding anything heavy duty like chemical exfoliation) is a good sunscreen. Wearing this everyday will help a lot with your redness. Oh look, a holy grail thread for that too!

Since you're relatively new at this, don't forget to patch test new products. And wait at least a week or two before adding the next new product. This can be time consuming but it makes it much easier if you start to break out to pinpoint which product is causing it.

Sorry, I realize this is very long, but getting a solid basic routine of cleanse, moisturize, and SPF is the most important and beneficial thing you can do. If you're getting into skincare and adding lots of things, you really need a baseline to fall back on if you need to. I'm glad you posted! Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions, this subreddit is very helpful and only wants you to succeed!

Edit: I totally neglected to mention the side bar in this sub. Not sure If you've checked it out yet, but it is full of fantastic information that is very helpful.

u/sunkissedpride · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I had this problem too!

​

It would burn in areas that are generally sensitive for me (that's under my nose and on the sides of my chin). I've never had this experience with another cleanser.

​

I recommend simply switching to another face wash (you probably have one laying around).

​

Right now, I am using the Acne.org Cleanser with no issues, but I think any gentle cleanser (with the proper PH) should be fine. From what I've read, the Vanicream cleanser is really gentle and soothing to the skin.

​

I hope this helped! Good luck!

u/bearable_lightness · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Looks like the Cetaphil contains both a sulfate and fragrance. I'd suggest trying something like Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser.

u/mazelpunim · 3 pointsr/AsianBeauty

I am loving my vanicream! It is creamy but it still gives a ladder so I can use it with my Clarisonic. I think the pH is around 5.5, from what I read on this very informative acne blog. And it's cheap!

u/aquajack6 · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Vanicream is cruelty free, I really like their Gentle Facial Cleanser. I don't find it drying or stripping at all, but I wouldn't call it a hydrating cleanser. Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser is gentle and cruelty free too.

u/keraut · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Hey, I’m a guy with “good skin”. What honestly surprised me was the quality of my skin after using sunscreen regularly — I didn’t realize how much sun affected things. I know you say you have normal skin, but some of the below should hopefully help getting started on a basic routine that’ll become evident in the quality of your complexion.

Pick up a gently cleanser like Cerave Hydrating cleanser or Vanicreams cleanser.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSSDEPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_164sDbD3WQJP7

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QY1XZ4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_U74sDbF98WZ87


Wash the face morning and night. It’s helpful to use a little bit of moisturizer since sunscreens are kind of hit and miss in this regard, so I’d suggest Cerave cream in the white tub to apply to your damp face as needed.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TTD9BRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_P84sDb7M4J10J


Afterwards, ideally, slather on a bit of sunscreen on your face, neck, ears, and other sun exposed places. My personal favorite currently is the Jack Black sun guard since it’s not greasy and I use it on my arms and hands too, Otherwise, pick up Cerave’s AM moisturizer. It’s my favorite drug store type sunscreen. A nicer one too are the EltaMD sunscreens.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CR4KRM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_V94sDbQXPSZ8R

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F97FHAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_b.4sDbR7T9R88


If your face is shiny after some of thing I’d suggest picking up something like Magical Moringa from Lush that’s mattefying. A shine control powder to dab lightly on can work good too — doesn’t look like you have anything on while still taking care of your skin.

https://www.lushusa.com/face/moisturizers/magical-moringa/07218.html

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Neutrogena-Shine-Control-Powder-Invisible-10-37-Oz/21009034?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1150&adid=22222222228015245274&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=40843087352&wl4=pla-78656555792&wl5=9014228&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112549851&wl11=online&wl12=21009034&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzIWmraTy4wIVhZ-fCh0RsQczEAUYASABEgJquPD_BwE


At night I really see a difference in the brightness and luminosity with my skin with this “overnight mask”.

COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask, 60ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N13W31F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Qf5sDbYFN01FC

That’s basically my suggestions at least. At night just use moisturizer and the mask after washing.


As far as the back acne, in the shower let some salicylic acid sit on the area for a minute or two and rinse it off. I use Zapzyt. The other thing I would recommend after the shower is to apply some Differin to the affected area — Differin used to be what a dermatologist prescribed me years ago and it now available over the counter fortunately. Should be cleared up in no time.

u/bee_antlers · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I have very sensitive acne prone skin and use Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Lotion and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream for Extra Dry Skin. These can both be found in most drug stores and on Amazon and are fragrance free and non-comedogenic.

Vanicream is also a popular brand for those with sensitivities. My mom is severely allergic to a myriad of ingredients: fragrance, linalool, benzyl alcohol, propolis. She uses Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser and Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream. They are also fragrance free and formulated for people with extreme sensitivities. She hasn't had any problems with them.

u/Mallyn · 2 pointsr/keto

I like using Vanicream! It's been incredibly gentle on my sensitive skin, and it doesn't have tons of extra junk in it.

u/angeelah · 2 pointsr/VeganBeauty

Vanicream is CF & vegan, super gentle. I love their cleanser, lite lotion and regular lotion for those super dry days. Similar price point to cetaphil. I highly recommend!

u/kalelust · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Anyone tried the Vanicream Gentle Skin Cleanser? I've recently tried the Cerave hydrating cleanser and Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and both gave me a couple of hives. Not sure if they share ingredients that I'm allergic to or simply sensitive to. Anyway, I want to know if anyone has had luck with the Vanicream cleanser. I'm desperate for a truly gentle cleanser. I'd appreciate any recs

u/CH4C4RR0N · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Hey everyone,

I suffer from Seborrheic dermatitis, so the only products I am using are from this helpful list. I am currently using the Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel mixed with The Ordinary's Squalane and the Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser and for the first time I feel like I am having actual success.


So I wanted to make the next step and introduce sunscreen. I ordered the CōTZ FACE Natural Tinted
SPF 40
, but unfortunately it breaks me out.


I definitely wanted a mattifying sunscreen, since regardless of which product I am using, I always get noticeably oily/greasy 1-2 hours after applying products. So to try other sunscreens from that list, I ordered the Biore Uv Perfect Face Milk Spf50 + / Pa ++++ and the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk (SPF50 PA ++++). It is going to take some time until they arrive, but I thought I could already ask some questions:


According to Fiftyshadesofsnail the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk dries down to a clear satin finish that can go more matte or more dewy depending on your skin condition and what skincare you have underneath. Considering my situation, it might end up too dewy for me. My inital idea was to simply apply it over my Benton Aloe Propolis Gel + Squalane mix and in case that this will end up too dewy, I wanted to test using this over the Benton Gel without the squalane. However if this still ends up being too dewy, would it be okay to use the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk without any actual moisturizer under it, or would I be missing out on some important skin benefits?


My next question would be if the Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser will be enough to remove the Biore and the Skin Aqua sunscreens. I have read somewhere that I might need an oil cleanser for this. I currently have this Mystic Moments White Mineral Oil Carrier Oil 100% Pure, but I didn't like how it doesn't really get off when using water. I have read that if you mix it with 10-15% cromollient SCE it'll be better, but I live in Europe, Germany and I don't know where I can get that here.


Thank you for any kind of help!

The dove soap bar is a cleanser and so is the panoxyl bp wash. I know this post is old and I really really hope you are doing well. It sounds like your skin is angry and being overworked. I would try vanicream cleanser, it's gentle. Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser for sensitive Skin with Pump Dispenser, 8 Fl Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QY1XZ4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_j8mBDbFHMKK6Z

I am a huge fan of hyaluronic acid, it's a humectant. I sweat easily especially from my face and when I have hyaluronic acid serum on my skin, it acts like a shield. Keeping in my oils and sweat and not letting anything into your skin except moisture. You just want to apply it to your face when it's damp after cleansing or you can use rose water. Then you can apply light moisturizer on top of it, if you want. I prefer water creams. Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Skin-- 100% Pure-Highest Quality, Anti-Aging Serum-- Intense Hydration + Moisture, Non-greasy, Paraben-free-Best Hyaluronic Acid for Your Face (Pro Formula) 2 Fl. Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0090UJFYI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ganBDbP79RSA0

Benzoyl peroxide really irritates my skin and doesn't help my acne. I think the reason you are producing so much oil is that your skin is trying to heal it's skins barrier. Don't use hot or cold water on your face, both can aggravate your skin. You need to go back to the basics and nuture your skin and yourself. https://www.getthegloss.com/article/sense-and-sensitivity-how-to-build-up-your-skin-barrier

u/superkicksuz · 2 pointsr/lexapro

Hey there, sure I can let you know what worked for me. Just some set up- I've always had acne since a teen, now 30 years old (female), surface bumps, sure, but my the main bane of my existence was painful cystic acne. I'd always have a couple at various stages (since you know... you feel the big painful bumps coming in and it takes time to surface, then time to heal, so each one has a 2-4 week lifespan, ugh)

I've never used any prescription medication to address it, but I've tried any and all over the counter solutions. In the last year I found the following products that actually worked for me, hoping they might work for you but of course everyone is different:

  • LUSH Dark Angels Scrub - this really seemed to reduce the number of breakouts, not completely, but I did feel like I noticed some improvement. I use this 1-2 a week in the shower
  • Glossier Solution- I was always using toner, but this stuff changed my life. I noticed a flair up in small surface zits the first 2 weeks, almost like my skin was purging or something, but I hung in there and I have never had such clear skin in my life. I do get an occasional zit here or there, nothing like before though (usually around my period, not too uncommon). Again, not sure if this will work for everyone but it really changed the game for me. I use this every night before bed. Solution contains a particular 10% blend of three acid groups: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) -> you can google search for a dupe of this product, there's probably something with similar ingredients for less.
  • Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser - pretty cheap non-scented no frills cleaner. I use this with my Clairsonic after using the LUSH scrub in the shower
  • Clairsonic Brush - I got one of those vibrating brush doo-dads, you can certainly find cheaper alternatives, but this really helped me get that deeper clean.

    I'm locked into this routine because it's the only one that's ever worked for me. I know the Scrub and Solution toner can be a lil' pricey- I think you can request a sample of the scrub from a LUSH store for free. As for toner, before the Glossier one I was using this Nutrogena toner daily that sorta helped, better than nothing :)

    I think a reduction in dairy products has helped (which sucks cause I love cheese), as well as the increase in water.

    Good luck!!!

u/Ttatch1 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

What are my next steps? I’ve read all over the FAQs and Wiki, but I'm not sure where to head next with my routine. I've been using the same routine for approx. 9 months now and I’m no longer seeing positive changes or results that I want.

The issues: I still have acne, though not as severe as it was a year ago. I have quite large pores and very sensitive skin when it comes to what I use. I’m allergic(eczema) to methylisothiazolinone or others like it. It’s found in many many liquid soaps, lotions, treatments etc.

Skin Type: I would say combination, as I am prone to acne, eczema, have somewhat oily skin, and flaking skin as well. Left profile Right Profile

Current routine: The routine I’ve been using for the past 9 months is as follows:
My mornings and evenings have been somewhat interchangeable, depending on if I shower in the morning or evenings, so I will combine it in to daily, with the exception of 1 product.

Daily:

  • Cleanse: Rinse with water OR Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser (1-3x per week) OR Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (1-2x per week)

  • Moisturize: None if rinsed with water, unless feeling dry OR Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream on my cheeks, nose, and chin.

    Evening:

  • Tretinoin Cream 0.025% every night.

    Occasionally Used:

  • Neutrogena Rapid Clear(BP) for active large pimples.

    Anything New: I am currently reducing(eventually to zero) an antidepressant, so hormonal changes will probably cause acne to pick up. I exercise regularly, drink approx. 3 liters of water every day, and eat very healthy.

    Location: Southern Maine region.

    Thank you for your help SCA World!
u/tristesse-joie · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

If you try the Cerave Baby wash, and don't like it/break out, you could also try Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser.
I've tried it and it's somewhere between a hydrating and foaming cleanser. It is somewhat opaque like a hydrating cleanser, but it does foam up. It's somewhere in the middle, but more closer to a foaming cleanser. Plus its very good at removing makeup and has a perfect score of 0 on cosdna.com. The only downside is that it doesn't have any "beneficial" ingredients like how the Cerave Baby has ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. The Vanicream doesn't have any of that.

The issue(s) you need help with:

I have had chronic skin dryness/irritation/redness/flakiness in the areas around my nose and upper cheeks for a few months. I currently have a routine, but it is obvious to me that it isn't optimal.

Skin type:

When I wake up, there may be a few flakes on my skin, and it is usually oily. But it is never intensely red/irritated
A few hours after cleansing and moisturizing, my skin will become a little oily, but some areas on my nose or sides of my face my dry up.

I would say I have pretty sensitive skin.

Current routine with the full names of your products:

Here are photos of my skin: https://imgur.com/a/zeLGX

The first photos are when I wake up. There is no intense visible redness, but there is some flakiness.

I currently shower in the morning with lukewarm water and cleanse with Vanicream gentle cleanser link. I then use Vanicream Lite lotion link. As you can see at this point in the pictures above, my face is noticeably red. Occasionally, I will feel stinging irritation, but most of the time it feels fine. After a half hour the redness goes down, and my face feels smoother, but not 100 percent smooth in all areas.

This routine has only functioned as a temporary measure until I find something more ideal. I use it because it is effective in treating the flakiness. If I don't cleanse, the area around my nose especially will generate a lot of flakes, even if it isn't particularly irritated.

I do not have a routine for the evening or night time before I go to bed. Sometimes I may just cleanse or maybe just apply some lotion, but the results in the morning aren't drastically different.

How long you have been using your current routine, or product in question:

I tried getting suggestions from this sub in September last year about gentle products for sensitive skin. I have been using these products ever since that time, but they are not ideal.


I would really welcome any help regarding this. I have dealt with it for so long and it really affects my self-image. Please let me know what I can change or fix! Thanks

 I have quite oily skin and often get red inflamed spots and some puss filled pimples on my forehead and cheeks. My skin is also mildly sensitive to very harsh products.

I have been using these products as my skincare routine for about 6-7 months:

u/JJ_RR · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

It looks like a mix of folliculitis caused by malassezia (fungal acne) and bacterial acne. I'm not sure but all products below are safe for skin with fungal / bacterial acne.

u/LoSientoMrRoboto · 1 pointr/tretinoin

I should preface this, I mostly go for Asian Beauty products...

AM:
Water
Gigi Bioplasma Azelaic 15% **added this in after ~1mo
Wait 15 min
Benton Propolis Gel
Hada Labo Premium HA Lotion and I'd mist water all over my face - makes it REALLY hydrate my skin.
Biore Brightmilk SPF

PM:
Vanicream Cleanser
Just started adding in Glycolic Acid here intermittently to shrink SF's, will report back after I have results
wait 20 mins
Tret Gel 0.05%
try to wait 15 mins, but, ya know...
Hada Labo Premium HA Lotion and I'd mist water all over my face
Hada Labo Plumping Gel Cream - again mist water all over face

u/cheesehotdish · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

AM

  1. Cleanse with Vanicream Gentle Cleanser
  2. Apply Corsx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. I used to do this every other day, but I've built up enough moisture to do it daily.
  3. Moisturize with Hada Labo Tokyo Skin Plumping Gel Cream this is HG status for me
  4. Sunscreen La Roche Posay Anthelios. Not sure if this is FA safe, but it hasn't given me issues. I don't use it that often though because it pills up and doesn't sit well under makeup. I also sometimes mix some sunscreen into my foundation to lighten it and give me a super dewy look. It's some stuff from Thailand, don't know what it is to be honest. Solera?

    PM

  5. Remove makeup with Micellar water, otherwise skip if no makeup.
  6. Cleanse with Vanicream
  7. Alternating Days I do:
  8. Moisturize with Hada Labo Japan Gokujun Gel
  9. Finish with:
    • TO Squalene Oil on days with Stratia OR
    • Rosehip Seed Oil on days with TO Z+N

      So some of these may not be entirely FA safe. I had tons of tiny pimples on my jaw and chin area for months. They were stubborn as F. I've done a few things that could have impacted it from:

  • altering my routine, getting rid of anything with coconut oil in it
  • going vegetarian
  • moving climates
  • simplifying my routine
  • focusing on moisture barrier

    If something simple is working, I say don't alter it. Don't add more if you don't need it. I thought I needed a 10 step routine. NO. I like a lot of AB products, but it's important to avoid gimmicks and extras if it doesn't add anything. This includes leave on masks for me. tbh.
u/IMakeNoises89 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Hmm as far as suggestions for moisturizers and cleansers, perhaps look at the HG sidebar! I am unfortunately (fortunately?) in Europe so my selection is probably quite different from yours! I have heard good things on here about the CeraVe AM lotion for a moisturizer
https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Facial-Moisturizing-Lotion-AM/dp/B00F97FHAW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1522921150&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=cerave+am+facial+moisturizing+lotion+spf+30&psc=1

and Vanicream gentle cleanser https://www.amazon.com/Vanicream-Gentle-Cleanser-sensitive-Dispenser/dp/B00QY1XZ4W

and you can definitely do stridex every other day or even less to start with until you can see what your skin tolerates :)

  • The issue(s) Can't tell if I have razor bumps or acne (or a combination). Probably started around 4 weeks ago, but it's getting worse now. Looking for products that may help get rid of it. Do I need a better routine? Masque? Scrub? Asian Male, 27 years old.

  • Skin type. Oily, sensitive skin. I have eczema in certain places of my body like finger, arm, and back so I avoid products with MCI/MI, fragrance, and tea tree oil (very allergic)

  • Current routine
  • How long 9 months

  • Anything new I had just started using a new electric razor and I [am ashamed to] admit that I haven't changed my pillowcase in these 4 weeks. The bumps/acne appear around the places I have more difficulty shaving. Immediately after, I see bumps, but I don't know this is a combination of bumps and acne. Also, don't know how much diet plays a role but I have been indulging in sweets lately. I have also been really stressed (job interview, internship hours, applying for graduation, certification exam)

It’s perfect for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and love it.

Hmm, that stuff looks pretty good. I'll give it a try. My only concern is that it has white petroleum. If I find mineral oil irritating, I wonder if I'll have the same reaction to petroleum. But it's worth a shot!

I just realized you're probably referring to this product. This looks like it is an emulsifying cleanser, correct? Does it wash off clean or leave a residue? Any dryness if you overuse it? Have you used it for make-up removal before?
