Got prescribed tretinoin. I'm hearing good things about it. Anyone has any experience with it?

Don’t ejaculate for 3 months and you’ll look ten years younger.
I recently did a prolonged fast to break my relapsed porn addiction and put a pause on my libido. Do you have a source for that?

Knowing our skin types is crucial for creating skin regimen. The wrong product can fukk a person’s skin PH momentarily.

The benefit of Vitamin C is that it fades hyperpigmentation. Removing the dead skin cells that plague the face. Making a brighter appearance. Brighter = youthful look

There’s a retinol change called Tretinoin. Used to reduce fine wrinkles. Improve spotty discoloration and rough feeling skin

If people have the money, chemical peels gets straight to the point. Minimizes wrinkles, dullness, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.

What you said about applying sunscreen is important. The UV rays of the sun not only damages our skin but we still had a risk of getting cancer. Black folks definitely need to get that SPF 50 on deck juu heard

Staying hydrated is important. Drinking 8 cups of water gives us that glossy skin. Cutting out sugar and dairy. Eating sweet potatoes for Vitamin A.

Vitamin A normalizes the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that plays a vital role in the production of melanin. Vitamin A assists in the promotion of healthy collagen and elastin formation by stimulating fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen in the dermis), leaving skin looking firmer and more youthfully radiant.

Collagen peptide’s supplements does work, different brands vary different results.



Personally, I have hyperpigmentation. My skin as a kid was originally caramel-brown. Being in the sun turned from skin into Flavor Flav. 50 shades of darkness haha

I was thinking of using hydroquinone to reserve the damage of my skin. There’s a lot of controversy that hydroquinone can lead to blue-blackness. That usually occurs when people don’t take a break.



^^ Hydroquinone used properly is one of the most effective treatments in fading skin discoloration. For black folks with darker hues, fixing our hyperpigmentation is mostly important.

I’m a yella breh, what’s my skin type?

1 bottle should last 3-4 months or more. They do have an expiration date though. You should start out using serums 3x/week at night then gradually increase. After the serum has absorbed into your skin, layer a light moisturizer on top.
After 2 weeks you can use it daily until you see improvements then go back to 3x/week to maintain.
For more troubled skin, apply Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, and Moisturizer.
Stay out of the sun.
Use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil and tone with Witch hazel (you'll get used to the scent but it's an excellent toner.)
Any products you recommend
