9 Months of Skincare Progress

Just realized it’s been 9 months between these two photos, and I’m honestly thrilled with the results. 😊 I first noticed my forehead wrinkles in my late 20s, and when I turned 35, I decided to do something about them. Because my skin is dry and sensitive, I started by repairing my skin barrier. Once I focused on hydration and barrier support, everything else seemed to work better. Here’s the simple routine I’ve stuck to: ☀️ Morning Cleanser: The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser Serum: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Moisturizer: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA Ceramide cream: COSRX Comfort Ceramide Cream SPF: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ 🌃 Night Makeup remover: Bioderma Atoderm Cleansing Oil Cleanser: The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser Serum: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Moisturizer + ceramides (same as morning) Actives: Rotate retinoid (Granactive 2%), vitamin C, and hydration-only days. It’s been slow and steady progress, but seeing these changes makes me so glad I stuck with it. #SkincareJourney #BeforeAndAfter #WrinkleWorries #AntiAging #30sSkinCare #HydrationIsKey #SkincareProgress

Rec｜Adapalene is seriously a miracle for acne-prone skin!

Can’t believe how well it works?? I’m combo-oily and acne-prone. After Chinese New Year (bad diet, not enough sleep), I broke out like crazy — tons of closed comedones and red marks. I’ve been using azelaic acid for 4 years but it stopped working, so I grabbed a tube of adapalene just to try. 🗓️ First use: March 4 — my skin barrier was already sensitive (turned red after washing), but I recklessly applied it to my whole face without building tolerance 😅 didn’t know you were supposed to go slow… 🗓️ March 6-7: Most of the bumps came to a head and turned into visible white pimples — looked awful lol. Also had peeling, so I used a thick moisturizer on dry spots. (PSA: Kiehl’s calendula toner & cream stung like crazy, regret buying the full set 🥲) Kept using azelaic acid during the day + adapalene at night. 🗓️ Now it’s been a week: My cheeks are almost clear! Just working on post-acne marks now. Still a few stubborn spots on my forehead/nose but way better than before. Skin’s drier than usual so I’m moisturizing more, and yeah — dead skin rubs off when applying lotion, but overall super worth it. I’m definitely sticking with it. #beauty#makeup #acneprone #skincarejourney #adapalene #retinoidreview #closedcomedones #purgingphase #acnetips #miracleproduct

I can never find the perfect sunscreen!!!

I’ve tried all the hyped-up Asian sunscreens (Beauty of Joseon, Aqua Rich, etc.)—they either break me out instantly or are a nightmare to get in the US. La Roche-Posay? Made my skin the worst it’s ever looked. 😩😩 Neutrogena Clear Face is the best so far, but it burns my eyes! Guess I’ll just keep throwing money down the drain until I find one that actually works 😠😭 #SkinCare #SkinCareHack #Sunscreen #SunscreenStruggles #SkinCareJourney #HelpNeeded

HELP. Is my skin purging or breaking out? Anua cleansing oil and deep pore cleanser

Saw a girl start using Anua's cleansing oil and deep pore cleanser this week—at first her skin looked great, but now I’m not so sure. She’s also using a peeling gel. My skin looks exactly like hers. Could the BHA cleanser be causing purging? I was hoping these products would help, but I’m worried my skin might end up the same now. Is this purging or just breaking out? Should we keep going or stop? Any advice is appreciated! 💜 #SkinCareJourney #SkinCare #PurgingSkin #SkinCareHack #SkinCareHelp

Growing up, I always felt self-conscious about my oily skin. No matter what products I tried, my face would shine by midday, and I was constantly blotting and worrying about breakouts.

It took some trial and error, but my skin finally started to feel balanced, and I realized oily skin isn’t a flaw—it just needs the right care. If you have oily skin, you’re not alone!

Can a Drugstore Lotion Really Transform Your Skin in Just 3 Days?

Honestly, I was skeptical about all those 'miracle' lotion posts—until I tried Vaseline Advanced Repair. My skin went from dry and flaky to smooth and hydrated in just three days. I almost didn’t believe my own before-and-after pics! Sometimes, the simplest products surprise you the most. Have you ever found a budget beauty product that totally changed your routine? Or do you stick to the pricier stuff? Let’s talk hidden gems! #SkincareJourney #DrugstoreFinds #LotionReview #Beauty #Skincare

Can Sleeping on Your Back Really Soften Nasolabial Folds? My Surprising Update

A year ago, I was desperate to smooth out my nasolabial folds. I tried every trick—gua sha, retinol, face massages, even derma pen sessions. But nothing made a real difference until I finally committed to sleeping on my back. It wasn’t easy (I’m a lifelong stomach sleeper!), but after weeks of persistence, I started noticing real changes. My folds are still there, but they’re softer and less noticeable. Sometimes, the simplest habits make the biggest impact. Have you ever changed your sleep position for your skin? Did it work for you, or was it just uncomfortable? #SkincareJourney #NasolabialFolds #BeautyStruggles #Beauty #Skincare

Can We Talk About Glowing Up at 42? Age Is Just a Number!

Woke up today, looked in the mirror, and honestly? I’m kind of loving what I see at 42. Sure, there are a few more laugh lines and my skin isn’t as bouncy as it used to be, but I feel more confident than ever. Skincare is less about chasing perfection and more about celebrating what I’ve got. Anyone else finding that beauty gets better with age—or is it just me? Would you trade your wisdom for your 20-something skin? Let’s chat! #BeautyOver40 #AgingGracefully #SkincareJourney #ConfidenceAtAnyAge #Beauty #Skincare

Is That Sun Spot Just a Freckle—or Melasma Sneaking Up on Me?

Every summer, I notice new patches on my cheeks and wonder: is this just a sun-kissed glow, or am I dealing with melasma? No matter how much SPF I layer on, these stubborn spots seem to multiply. It’s so frustrating when you do everything right and still see changes in your skin. Anyone else feeling like their sun care routine just isn’t enough? How do you tell the difference between harmless freckles and something more serious?
