Product name: Jojoba Oil by Leven Rose
Price (range): ~$14
Country of purchase: USA
Ingredient list: 100% Pure unrefined and organic Jojoba Oil from Simmondsia chinensis grown in Arizona, cold pressed.
Experience & opinion: Very simple product, but probably one of the most effective things to fix my cuticles and skin around my nails. I am prone to getting hang nail/dry skin around my nails and lotions really don't do much for me. Ever since I started using jojoba oil, I saw a difference in the first few days. My nails have also gotten stronger since using this oil on the daily. I transfer a few droppers full into a nail pen so it makes it easier to apply.
Also throwing this in there, Cavin Schon marula oil (https://www.amazon.com/Cavin-Schon-100-Marula-Seeds/dp/B06VWG91CH) on Amazon is a dupe for the marula oil. I was running out of DE and got it, no difference in color/texture, it is equally as silky and sinks in the same on me.
You can actually get the maracuja oil (it's passionfruit oil) off amazon in the same quantity for much much less than the tarte costs! Here's an example. You can definitely return the tarte to sephora and have enough to buy another lipstick :)
Ooh, my time to shine! Swimming hair care expert here- swim 6x a week for ~90 minutes a session in chlorinated pools and still maintain shiny gorgeous locks. Do the following and you'll be good:
My husband has episodes of cystic acne. He recently grew a beard and started using beard products.
The only one that doesn't cause him to break out is pure jojoba oil. It's this one:
Leven Rose Organic 100% Pure Cold Pressed Unrefined Natural Jojoba Oil, 4 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AjPfzbHQR0TWW
Maybe you could ask your SO to try it? Shampoo, occasionally condition and then the jojoba oil. Nothing more or less, but still nicely groomed :)
Basically everything has been a skincare fail for me lately.
Some wins:
My goal is to go 30 days without introducing anything new into my routine, which is hard as I still have lots of little closed comedones and the occasional hormonal zit I want to zap with something harsh. But literally every acid I've ever tried (outside of glycolic, which I stupidly didn't think was working well enough so I quit using it, and azelaic, which I've yet to try) has devastated my face. After 30 days I may try glycolic again or order a low concentration azelaic. I quit r/skincareaddiction. It was too much.
Hey ScA! Found a few products that I wanted to add to my routine through reccs here and research so I thought I'd share them. I have combination skin, Fitzpatrick type IV, and my daily struggles are mainly with hyperpigmentation, a wonky texture on my forehead, and hydration. If you have any friendly advice, warnings, criticisms, I'm all ears. :)
-From Left to Right-
Also picked up some cod liver oil. Will it do anything for my skin? Uh, maybe! Mom's been getting on me about my omega-3s so I humored her. :)
I’m so glad to hear this! When I first found this forum that’s also how I felt seeing others progress, so I’m so glad these posts are encouraging others now. For cuticles and skin, this brand of jojoba oil has helped a lot: https://www.amazon.com/Leven-Rose-Pressed-Unrefined-Moisturizer/dp/B00GJX58PE
Rave: artnaturals Jojoba Oil
So, after finding a skincare routine that was literally perfect for me, I decided it was time to amp up my hydration and stop double cleansing at night with Micellar Water and a Cream Cleanser as an experiment.
I began using Jojoba oil (which I've never used... I've actually never used an oil that wasn't squalane and rosehip) as an oil cleanser to remove my water resistant sunscreen (Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk) and to help cut down on that tight skin feeling post-cleanse. Not only does it remove everything after gently massaging it in and wiping off with a warm and damp microfiber cloth, it leaves a super soft and slick finish that protects my face while I shower. I'm absolutely in love with jojoba oil. I've even began adding about 5 drops to my moisturizer at night and 3 drops in my moisturizer in the morning. My under eye wrinkles and my forehead lines have began to soften drastically which makes me think that my skin was lacking in oils. I guess I'm an OCM convert?
1.5 years after starting the CG method and I will never turn back! See my progress pics from one year ago. I have 3b/3c, extremely low porosity hair. I'm mixed race - African and European descent. I got my first Devacut 3 months ago and I am LOVING it!!
Wash routine: Apply SheaMoisture conditioner (currently using coconut&hibiscus) in shower. Part hair from ear to ear and split into two sections. Comb out tangles in each section with shower comb and plop on top of head. Let hair sit and absorb conditioner for 5-10 minutes. Turn shower water to cold and rinse out conditioner. Lightly pat out excess water. Apply about 1/4 cup of SheaMoisture leave-in conditioner to top and bottom sections. Apply argan oil to roots and tips. Let hair down to dry and pick a side part (I usually pick a different side after each wash). Let dry then apply about 2 tbsp SheaMoisture curl enhancing smoothie.
No-wash routine: Sleep with hair in pineapple. In the morning, spritz hair with just water to loosen curls. Apply more curl smoothie as needed on later no-wash days. I usually go 3-4 days without a wash using this method.
Deep condition routine: I just added this to my routine so I'm still working out details and order, happy to hear suggestions! Heat hair cap in microwave. Apply SheaMoisture shampoo in shower. Rinse. Heat hair cap again if needed (I like to "pre-heat" before my shower so it's close to target temp as soon as I get out). Apply about 2-3 tbsps of Jessicurl Deep Conditioner into hair. Try to detangle hair with shower comb (this part is a struggle and I think needs reordering). Put plastic shower cap over hair and heated hair cap over shower cap. Let sit for 30 minutes. Rinse out deep conditioner in cold water in sink. From here I follow the second half of the wash routine, but I use about half the products.
Okay, brace yourself lmao.
I have an odd wheat allergy/intolerance (not sure what to call it but it's called WDEIA if you're interested). I was very lazy with it and it made things a lot worse regarding flare ups/blushing etc. The first step was cut out/cut down on wheat, shitty fried foods and dairy. I feel combating inflammation from the inside first was a massive step forward.
As for skin care products these are the ones I swear by (personal preference). I'm a red head white scottish guy so my skin is sensitive as hell but also tough as hell.
Naissance Witch Hazel (Not sure if this is an ideal "cleanser" for all or at all but it has worked for me, it does a better job than any standard face washes have done for me.)
Lacura Healthy Glow Toner 5% Glycolic Acid (this stuff is a clone of Pixi Beauty Glow and seems to stand up pretty well to it, Amazon sell it for £15.99 but it's only £3.99 in Aldi and it never seems to be in stock unless you're lucky. Apparently they do beauty events a lot so keep an eye out for that.)
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (A great anti inflammatory for the skin, Niacin is a B vitamin so it's key to get this any way you can.)
Cliganic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil (Most moisturisers I found were loaded with alcohols I was trying to avoid as much as possible and the good ones were kinda expensive (not always the worst thing but I was strapped at the time). This is really nice stuff. It's hypoallergenic, antibacterial and a source of Vitamin E which could help with scarring etc.)
I also use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution occasionally. I used it a bit too much before and it seemed to make my skin very stripped and irritated but after dialing it back it has become a good addition.
I basically just wash my face with water in the shower (not too hot or you'll be a tomato). I apply the WH first then the toner with cotton pads, letting it dry off in between. Next comes TO Niacinamide, a small bit goes a long way as it can pill when applying things over it. Lastly I'll put a few drops of the jojoba oil on once the Niacinamide has dried in a bit. A FEW DROPS is key here, the coverage is insane. You'll end up looking hilarious if you put too much on, it's not a pleasant look or feeling with a big greasy face.
I do this once in the morning and once at night. I'll use the peeling solution when I feel it's necessary, once a fortnight usually.
Hope that helps or offers something, sorry it's so long winded. It's better to have info and reasons over a vague post in my eyes.
What direction do your ridges go in (horizontal or vertical)? Vertical ridges are genetic and usually become more apparent as you age. Horizontal ridges have more to do with nutrition.
You can disguise ridges using a ridge filler.
If you want to improve your nail health overall, the easiest thing you can do is drink more water, and moisturize jojoba oil into your cuticles/nail bed a few times a day.
If you want to try supplements, there are a few ways you can go, but you have to be consistent with it. Prenatal vitamins that contain biotin, calcium and phosphorus are fantastic for hair, skin and nails, but biotin can cause acne in some people (and anything that's marketed as prenatal can be $$). Collagen is excellent for your skin and nails (and bones and joints) as well.
Check out SheaMoisture . They’re certified organic & fair trade, cruelty free, sustainably produced, and the list goes on... They have a ton of different products and are affordable. I have at least 10 of them in my bathroom right now (and all are amazing)!
For shampoo, I use a combo of their baobab low porosity shampoo (scalp) and coconut+hibiscus curly shampoo (all over). I have naturally curly hair and have tried countless high and low end products over the years. No others have worked as well on my hair.
You might want to check out their two porosity lines (high and low). That could make a huge difference in the weight you’re experiencing with your current products. More info about porosity here.
A recent discovery that has made a huge difference for me - replacing conditioner with straight jojoba oil. No weight and my hair lasts longer between washes. I’m currently using some by Leven Rose that i got on amazon . Bonus: they have a lot of coupons and offers available as well.
Hope at least some of this helps!
I put Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil ($14.95) on any stretchmarks or scars -- basically slathering most of my torso with the oil. It doesn't smell at all and absorbs into my skin all night under a loose cotton nightgown. I haven't gotten it on my sheets yet, so not sure if it will stain linens.
I also use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion for Dry Skin ($7.74) on my forearms, elbows (I have a patch of psoriasis on my left elbow and this is the first lotion that has felt like it's actually helping) and on my feet. (After every shower I use Queen Helene Cocoa Butter [$4.19] as well, btw.)

Are you taking a B12 supplement? I was taking a cyanocobalamin B12 and had some pretty bad breakouts. I switched to a methylcobalamin B12 and stopped taking it every day and it helped a lot.
It could also be something you're eating. If you've replaced meat and dairy with a lot of soy products (tofu and soymilk) then you could try eliminating soy for a bit to see if that helps.
Also, obviously keep your face clean. Wash twice a day with a glycerin based soap. I like Trader Joe's tea tree oil face wash.
Thank you so much! I have a fairly simple, natural routine. Wash face with Sea buckthorn and tea tree bar soap, use a light astringent like witch hazel after, in the morning I’ll use a few drops of pure rose hip oil that I massage in, then just Cetaphil moisturizer. At night it’s the same thing except I use sea buckthorn and tamanu facial oil from Chagrin Valley instead of the rose hip oil. When I need a gentle exfoliant I use Lush’s Angels on bare skin and a cucumber mask for added hydration right after, I do this 2x a week. I hope this helps and good luck on your journey!
I ordered everything off of Amazon!

For really dry face skin, I would use the following:
Those are a few of my tried-and-true products, but your mileage may vary. Hop on over to /r/Skincare_Addiction and find out what would suit your skin best! Everyone has different skincare needs, and that sub has a treasure trove of knowledge.
I use jojoba oil. This is the one I'm using currently, but any pure jojoba oil will do. It is very cost-effective and a bottle like the one I've linked will last me about 6 months.
Jojoba oil is similar in composition to human sebum, so while it's an oil, it doesn't feel heavy on my face. I've been using it for about a year and have noticed that my skin is a lot softer and clearer. Plus, it's multipurpose and relatively cheap, so you can use it in your hair or on your body as well.
ETA: If you want to experiment using different kind of oils, you can get sample packs from Garden of Wisdom.
This one! It has doubled in price since I last purchased but that was over a year ago... a bottle lasts forever. Looking around, there are a lot more/better options now like this one with a pump (and it's cheaper for almost same size of bottle).
Lol, Im glad to be a the bearer of good news. Heres the one I use, works fine, and although its small you only need a little bit to flood the cuticle.
If you want to go all in, I also make my own cuticle oil so the skin dries up less, so I dont feel the need to pick at it. I use a mix of jojoba oil w/ vitamin e oil to make it the consistency I want. While its not completely necessary, vitamin e is good for your skin and thickness for application/less runoff. Then put it in a brush pen for easier application and potability so I can have one wherever. You dont need to use the exact ones I have, just this is what I ordered.
This oil is really similar to the Luna oil
After looking at your skincare and assuming you are a dry/normal skin type as you've posted, your routine is very invasive and more suited for an acne prone oily skin. The products you use are excellent because they are dermatologically effective, but you need to cool it with all the chemicals morning and night.
Within the past month, I purchased some rose hip oil (off of Amazon, too!), and it has a sort of planty/earthy smell to it, that I wouldn't call fishy. I keep mine in the fridge to prolong the shelf life.
I haven't tried any additions for scent reduction, except adding it to my moisturizer, and that seems to lessen the planty/earthy scent a little (but not very much).
I purchased this particular one, that is only rosehip oil; no mix. It's nice, but it is A LOT of oil; I use like a drop on my face once a day in the morning, and a little goes a long way for me. I'd probably buy a smaller one next time.
Yep, I use argan oil. I buy this one: https://www.amazon.com/Viva-Naturals-Organic-Moroccan-Cold-Pressed/dp/B01BZ1OP9O/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1JFXOSVOHH9ZK&keywords=argan+oil&qid=1556049312&s=beauty&sprefix=argan+oil%2Caps%2C149&sr=1-6
To preface: I'm white, but I have long hair and a beard so I know a little about hair care.
The problem might be that your hair isn't hydrated enough and it's pulling the oils from your scalp. A helmet rubbing on a dry scalp can cause skin to flake off when it normally wouldn't. I get this on my cheeks sometimes when I take my helmet off.
My beard and your hair probably have a similar texture in terms of how coarse they are.
It'll look like dandruff, and I guess technically it is, but as long as it doesn't happen all day every day then it's probably not medically dandruff.
I've found that [beard oil] (https://www.cremocompany.com/collections/beard-oil) helps keep it from happening to me and I'm sure they make something similar (but unscented) for hair like yours. It doesn't leave it oily or greasy feeling, it just hydrates the hair a little extra and lets the helmet slide against it without pulling on it. Maybe something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Leven-Rose-Pressed-Unrefined-Moisturizer/dp/B00GJX58PE?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAINYWQL7SPW7D7JCA&tag=aboutcom02liveabout-20&linkCode=sp1&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00GJX58PE&ascsubtag=400431%7Cgoogle.com%7C%7C%7C%7C1%7C) would work for you. It won't give you any kind of sheen, but it would definitely make your hair smoother so if that's not your look then I'd pick another kind of oil.
Extra virgin olive oil is one I've heard people swear by, but you run the risk of smelling like an Olive Garden. Coconut or Castor oil are some other options. I discovered hair oil on a trip to Jamaica when I had some itchy face and dandruff going on from the humidity and an old lady gave me some castor oil, changed my life.
EDIT: I forgot the most important thing. TALK TO YOUR BARBER. I guarantee if you're a regular at a barber that's not working at Great Clips he's run into this issue before. He can either point you toward an oil to use for your scalp or identify it as dandruff that needs treatment.
My bad, forgot links!

I get mine on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NCF7206/ref=mp_s_a_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1491889018&sr=8-7&keywords=rosehip+oil&dpPl=1&dpID=41vBoE4VNzL&ref=plSrch) and I really like it. I can't do creams so I mix it into my gel moisturizer as a final step, PM only, usually 1 drop, sometimes 2. Have found that more than 2 drops is too much.
it's not bad. I bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IP42FBA and it's lasting pretty well. Just a pump or two per leg. I used coconut oil before this too
Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil Face Wash. It doesn't get rid of all the demons, but it's so much less irritating the benzoyl peroxide and salacilic acid and works very well. I have a spot treatment for cystic zits from the doctor and I moisturize with a mattifying moisturizer (I use Body Shop's Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream), since I have somewhat oily skin.
I got the Pur360. I did not find it it did much to acne scars, though, and it's quite thick and I suspect a little pore-clogging too. I had to mix it with rosehip oil in a little roll-on bottle and only apply it to scars. I was curious to try out different oils and was not too impressed by tamanu oil. WIll stick to rosehip oil, my first love.
This is what I use.

I don't actually have a rosehip brand im loyal to yet. I was using Essentially Kate but i couldn't use it fast enough and it was spoiling on me. This is what I've got now and i like it much better. It seems smoother.
Yes, it's the carrier. I use this rosehip oil, and this neem oil. You can use any carrier of your choosing, I prefer rosehip because it's great for oily skin, and it also helps with acne scarring and evening out skin tone.

Would it be this one? The price seems really reasonable!
I make my own oil, it's really easy, cost effective, and I can control what's in it (especially scent).
My home brew shopping list:
This works out to 10oz of oil for $54, or $5.40/oz. Comparatively, I was paying anywhere from $10 to $20 per ounce of store bought oils. I'm Canadian and shit tends to cost more here, so I'm not sure how this works out for folks based in other countries.
My recipe is simple - 2tbs Argan, 2tbs Jojoba, 1tbs Almond, then two or three drops of sandlewood essential oil (I've actually been using a half dropper of leftover Rocky Mountain Sandlewood beard oil (that was overwhelming undiluted) for my last few batches. This gives me roughly 2.5oz's and fits perfectly into an older beard oil bottle w/dropper that I've been reusing.
I came to this solution after trying a bunch of other oil blends and it works well for my skin and hair. I don't like my beard to be shiny, I don't want it to feel oily (or my hands if I'm running them through), and this blend is the best that I've come up with.
I still might try to split my jojoba with something that's a bit less waxy at some point in the future, but it isn't a problem and winter is coming so it doesn't hurt to have an oil that's a bit heavier.
The labour required to make a single 2oz batch of oil is minimal. Open a few bottles, measure out a few tablespoons, close a few bottles, then give your blend a shake.
My favourite store bought oil is the Honest Amish Premium, but it was costing me $18/oz
rosehip oil is good for regenerating the skin, so for scarring, pigmentation, fine lines and aging. you just put it on your face before you go to bed. not OP so i don't know what brand she uses, i just use one i got from a local health store. you can get it fairly cheap on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Radha-Beauty-Rosehip-Oil-Certified/dp/B00LNOV8JO/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1500981726&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=rosehip+seed+oil
This is the stuff.
I have redness from drying out my skin/ destroying my moisture barrier (used Differin without moisturizing properly omfg why). I think your routine is simple, but could do with more hydration layers!
I got rid of all actives for 2 months. I simply washed my face with Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Hada Lobo Hydrating Lotion, CosRX 97% Snail Mucin Essence, The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Cream, and then Etude House Soonjun Recovery Barrier Cream.
I think the red marks are there as inflammation and irritation. I would add some sort of Hyaluronic Acid (Hada Lobo Hada Lobo Gokujun Hylaronic Acid Moist) to help attract water and promote hydration instead of drying out the skin. Put this in the morning and night after cleansing, and then layer your serums, essences, and moisturizer on top of it.
In addition, maybe changing Cetaphil to Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (if you are interested- I personally found Cetaphil way too drying and exacerbating my redness).
Finally, I would also look into Innisfree Green Tea Serum to reduce redness. Many MANY people have said great things about Rosehip Oil. For me, Rosehip Oil was the game changer- it reduced redness dramatically (it's still there, but I don't look like I'm wearing red pain on my cheeks- and I'm a brown-skinned girl, so redness just stands out). I'm thriving off a sample of Pai Rosehip Oil. It's $40, so once my sample runs out, I think I'm going to hop on the Radha Rosehip Oil train.
Finally, you should add some sort of sleep mask to help with restoring your skin barrier. I just got Laneige Sleep Mask to help with hydration.
The Etude House Soonjung Line is really good for calming redness- I'm personally thinking about adding the Pathenoside Cica Balm to help with redness.
In addition, I've heard great thing about Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream.
P.S.: Don't add all of these products at once. I'm on month two of restoring my moisture barrier after eliminating all actives. When I added in a new product, I focused on adding one product per week. If I saw after the week my face got worse, I eliminated it.
As long as it says those words, I look for the cheapest, the Last one I got was [jojoba oil] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A74442I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q1G3Cb6N4RSGS)
What's a good moisturizer for oily/sensitive skin? I use cetaphil cleanser with cetaphil moisturizer but the moisturizer leaves my skin looking to greasy and I seem to develop pimples/acne more when I use the moisturizer than when I just use the cleanser. I've heard rosehip seed oil is good for this kind of skin, would something like this be good? If my skin is still too greasy-looking, should I only moisturize at night or something?
My wife runs a hair salon and had me try Jojoba oil cause nothing else was working for me. It has done a amazing job at cutting down the flakes and most of the itching. This is the stuff I ordered and gonna order it again.
Leven Rose Organic 100% Pure Cold Pressed Unrefined Natural Jojoba Oil, 4 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EiSAzbG88R7NC
I work in a very warm shop so I would put it on in the morning after a shower then mid day and once again after my night shower.
My haul just now:
Acure organics marula oil 1oz for $8.73, Argan oil 1oz $5.69
Eve Hanson Retinol 2% 2oz $11.25
Myconos 10 pack sheet masks $11.97
I second Firefox's confern about washing off the sunscreen. I have reactive skin and a gentle, emulsifying oil cleanser followed by the foaming cleanser works best. Asian sunscreens are not thoroughly removed bu regular foaming cleansers alone.
Mineral oil should be ok, but it is hard as hell to wash off, that's why I stopped using it. I had good luck with perfect oil but may look for something else when I finish the bottle
Edit: [link to the oil] (http://www.amazon.com/Shiseido-Senganseka-Hypoallergenic-Perfect-Cleansing/dp/B000FQNOQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1421187538&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=shiseido+perfect+oil)

It doesn't smell at all - I don't think, at least? I'm sitting here trying to recall if it smelled this morning, haha. I'm sure that it has a scent but nothing memorable. This stuff is an orangey color. I also use it to remove my makeup. I used belief before I tried this oil and I don't plan on going back anytime soon.
Looks like my stuff is currently on sale! I paid full price. That's a great deal.

Retin-A, Sulfur, and BP will really dry your skin out, I was on them and personally know (the worst was when my skin was constantly flaky) and dry skin means oily skin. If you are stripping your face's natural moisture and irritating it like that, your oil production will rise in an attempt to moisturize the skin. This isn't what you want. So, you need to moisturize well day and night to keep your skin hydrated; basically, it keeps your skin hydrated and it does not need to produce much oil (sebum) to moisturize itself since it is already hydrated from your moisturizing habit. I know it may not make sense, adding moisturizer to oily skin, but that is what you need to do for oil production to slow down.
Moisturizer should be the last step in your regimen. As you know, cleanse, apply treatment(s), moisturize. Apply more moisturizer and re-apply throughout the day if you notice your skin is drying out, even if it gets oily.
I recommend you switch to CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser instead of their foaming cleanser. It did a lot for me when I had dry skin. Their Moisturizing Lotion is also a bit light, it is good for day use, but at night you want to moisturize your skin as best as possible... for this I recommend Cerave Moisturizing Cream. Lastly, you can add a few drops of Jojoba Oil to your moisturizer at night for a great hydration boost. I know how it may sound crazy to add oil with your oily skin.
If you decide to add Jojoba Oil (which I highly suggest), look for "100% pure" in the name. Like this, which is even better since it comes in a dropper bottle.
Inventory:
This is my first shot at this, but it seems like a cool passive hobby that'll also augment my facefur. I already plan to expand by getting a couple other carrier oils to balance out the jojoba—particularly either some grape seed or avocado oil and perhaps some Vitamin E.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Suggestions?

I use a few drops of rosehip oil mixed in with my moisturizer AM and PM. I find that my skin feels more moisturized than using moisturizer alone or using the two separately. Not the miraculous results others have seen, but it's a part of my routine that I plan on keeping. I started with a small bottle of Oilology that I had gotten for a few dollars at Marshalls, and recently ordered a larger bottle of Radha Beauty off of Amazon.
You should! I use this one I bought a couple months ago. The bottle is HUGE and since you only need 2-3 drops, it lasts forever. There’s a ton of other name-brand options, too. Good luck!
I know this is an old thread, but I saw your question never really got answered.
Carrier oil, the oil that makes up the majority of your mix, can probably be found your local health food store, organic grocery, hippie/smoke shop or maybe even Fred Meyer. You can also get essential oils from the same places. They're the oil that puts off the smell, and they can have benefits in themselves.
Or honestly you can order everything you need from Amazon.
Jojoba oil (carrier oil):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GJX58PE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?qid=1464522016&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=jojoba+oil&amp;pi=SY200_QL40
Cederwood oil (essential oil):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MGWIMK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?qid=1464522084&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=cedarwood+oil&amp;pi=SY200_QL40
Tea tree oil (essential oil):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0014UFXCA/ref=mp_s_a_1_11_a_it?qid=1464522236&amp;sr=8-11&amp;keywords=tea+tree+oil
Start with an ounce (30ml) of jojoba oil, add the tea tree and cederwood oils in one drop each at a time.
This should get you started, from here it's just about experimenting and figuring out what you like

My face get's super oily about 2 hours after my morning routine. I don't wear any concealer/foundation. I will sometimes powder my face if I'm going anywhere other than work. Powder only helps for an hour or so then I'm right back to super oily. I use blotting paper, which lasts for an hour or so as well.
1st question: Is the blotting paper compromising any of these products? In other words, does blotting paper exclusively absorb just facial oil, or does it also remove any of the product?
2nd question: What can I do about all the oil? I'm super shiny! :(
If anyone is looking for a closer dupe to Luna that has retinoids, try this! It's not perfect but it's closer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7G1YGD/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
&#x200B;
The Acure oil is amazing though! Works as well as Herbivore Lapis like choosinganameishard said. I've had both.
Any one you want as long as it's not a face wash . I would recommend you buy a good 2.5 percent one and apply it every night. They also sell small tubes if you want to try that for spot treatment. But I recommend you buy one and apply it every night before you go to sleep, if your skin gets dry then wait until it gets better and apply again, your skin will get used to it as long as your not allergic to it. And stick to it for a few months cause it takes a while to work, you should see improvement. [I use this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009A291L8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501960981&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=benzoyl+peroxide+tea+tree+oil&amp;psc=1) . Also patch test anything to make sure you're not allergic, your face is important, don't just lather random chemicals unto it
I recommend you read this to learn about acne and products. https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/comments/5i9o5t/how_to_destroy_acne_without_accutane_comprehensive

I'm mostly curious about the BENTON serum. I've heard that it's best to only use it once (at night), but some blogs have you using them in the morning as well. Also, with the BENTON serum would I have to wait 20 minutes before moving on to emulsion? Any other comments/criticisms would be appreciated! Thank you AB!
Gladly! 🤗

I hope this helps!
Also, at one point I was drinking two gallons of water per day lol
This will sound crazy and it's only been a few weeks since I started using thus but this stuff is making my skin GORGEOUS. Ive got super sensitive, acne prone skin and I haven't had one pimple, red spot or anything. I had similar results with chlorine so maybe this will work for you!

Well, my face WAS super dry and sensitive, and here's what I've found...
&nbsp;
Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel 1.7oz (3 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMOTTYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DYmvxbKJXB9P8 this cleanser is a godsend. It has no smell, and is this clear gel that is so gentle. Afterwards, my face is much happier than before.
&nbsp;
Leven Rose Organic 100% Pure Cold Pressed Unrefined Natural Jojoba Oil, 4 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QZmvxbKK9N3M6 I dont think it needs to be this brand, but this stuff is my absolute secret weapon. It mimics face oils and my skin can't be dry with this. In the morning, I put it on and then rinse it partway off with water, while in the evening I wait the 20min it takes to sink in. You can also use it for OCM. I use it before my cleanser as OCM, and after the simple cleanser as a moisturizer, but before anything else.
&nbsp;
SCINIC Honey All In One Ampoule All Skin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BO10SQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Q2mvxbBC14QX4 this stuff is an asian beauty product, and heavily recommended on r/asianbeauty . It comes in a huge jar and lasts forever. the ingredients are crazy good, and I figured you may like it since you wanted to try honey. It's light and moisturizing, and the honey makes it antibacterial. Also, it has niacinimides, which are great for redness and staying young. I use it to prevent acne and make my skin happy, but it's the only part of my routine I could probably live without (but I wouldnt want to)
&nbsp;
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream, Extra Dry Skin, 1.7 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1YQK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_z7mvxbK58XK4T this stuff has the best texture! It's like silk. Make sure you buy the 'gel cream' and not the 'watery gel'. It was the first moisturizer I found that I've ever liked. No fatty alcohol, not sticky, but not too light. It's a little more expensive than I would like, but I simply can't do without. It's my favorite part of my routine and it leaves my face with a great finish.
&nbsp;
When my face was less hydrated in general, I found that the hydro boost and SCINIC honey AIO stung for a few seconds after application, but they dont anymore now that I dont have microcuts everywhere. Also, with all three moisturizers on at night, my face feels a little warm at first, but that's just because of the layers, and doesnt last long. It takes a long time for it all to sink in, so it's more of a night pack. In the morning, just one or two of the products is enough (must include the hydro boost). I cant promise that these will work for you, but I haven't seen anybody have problems with these yet. Good luck!
I recently started using this jojoba oil for the same dry skin issue and it has made a huge difference. Just a couple drops in your hand and rub in.
I've always had really chapped lips and had this help a lot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VSH7LAG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YD9pxbW93W4TM
I apply it at night before I go to bed. Use it on my face as well actually since I have dry skin as well.
I'm hoping to find local sources eventually, but I get 'em off Amazon so far.
Jojoba: https://www.amazon.ca/Unrefined-Revitalizes-Youthful-Cuticles-Vibrant/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1463431100&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=jojoba+oil

I agree with theoracieiam about a benzoyl peroxide cream. I use this one that I get from amazon and it has helped my bacne immensely.
On Amazon!

That's what I use but there's other options that are all also 4.5 stars, so they probably also work well.
My co-worker's son had really bad acne, painful and red, and I recommended that he try this and using just this as a moisturizer after a gentle wash changed his world. I can't believe when I see him now the difference!!
Hi! I do:
https://www.amazon.com/Pur360-Tamanu-Oil-Treatment-Psoriasis/dp/B00ZPO05TW/ref=pd_sim_194_3?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00ZPO05TW&amp;pd_rd_r=K22XCZAFE22BPCVW77GC&amp;pd_rd_w=e59pG&amp;pd_rd_wg=5jcHo&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=K22XCZAFE22BPCVW77GC
I use Badger Damascus Rose Oil on my face and my skin loves it! I was just curious about thicker moisturizers for the winter since my face tends to dry out then. :)
I use witch hazel and rosehip oil every morning and night and it helps with evening out the skin tone and with acne scars. I also recommend vitamin c serum which you can get for a good price on amazon from Tree of Life Beauty. Vitamin C serum is both anti aging and will even out your skin and will protect it from the sun. The reviews on the ToLB one are really good. vitamin c rosehip oil i use
P.s. tea tree oil didn’t really do anything for me and if you want a good face mask I recommend this one with Apple cider vinegar added in. Don’t use it daily or it will dry your skin out.
Read the reviews for this stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Leven-Rose-Organic-Pressed-Unrefined/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1459099507&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=leven+rose+jojoba+oil&amp;psc=1
I've decided to get more serious in trying to combat by PIH and need some help in formulating a new skincare routine. I usually do my routine every 2 days after I shower and am treating PIH primarily on my chest, back and shoulders. Whatever I plan on using on my face I was also planning on using there too.
My main problem is trying to figure out when to apply a Brooklyn Botany Vitiman C Serum, TO Niacinamide, and Rosehip Oil. My theorized routine is as follows:
-----
CeraVe SA Body Wash
Eucerin In-Shower Body Lotion
Alpha Skin Care Body Lotion, 12% Glycolic AHA
To Ordinary Arbutin
CeraVa Moisturizing Cream (for face, back, shoulder and chest)
Some other generic lotion for everywhere else
Sunscreen
-----
Where should I fit the Serum, Niacinamide and Rosehip Oil, and why? I've been reading that the Serum could come after AHA, but it interferes with Niacinamide, which I have no idea where that would go and why it interferes. I also read that the Rosehip Oil can be mixed with my Moisturizing Cream; just add a few drops.
edit and addition - My current routine is a simple body wash, Alpha Skin Care AHA 10% and some Hydroquinone cream (both on face, shoulder, back and chest), Moisturize then Aloe Vera. My skin type is also pretty normal, it didn't break out or anything when I first ever introduced the AHA, and with age my skin has seemed to become stable; I don't break out very often anymore, just recovering.
Out of curiosity, how old are you? It seems like a lot of us go through some major hormonal shifts in our late 20s and early 30s that cause this to pop up unexpectedly. It sucks because if it it is hormonal, it's harder to deal with than if it's just caused by a product. Products you can eliminate, hormones sadly you can't!
Anyway, here's what seems to be helping me:
Tretinoin/Retin-A (most likely must be prescribed by a doctor)
Spironolactone (another prescription)
GENTLE cleanser (right now I'm using the Hadalabo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam, it's only been a few days but I really like it so far)
Glycolic acid/AHA (I'm using a 14% glycolic acid serum in the morning but beginners should probably start at a lower percentage)
BHA (I use the 2% Stridex pads but there are gentler options out there - like Paula's Choice)
A combination tea tree oil/benzoyl peroxide product - I use this one as a spot treatment, but it's supposedly gentle enough to put all over your face.
SNAILS: I'm using the Mizon Snail Gel and the Benton Steam Cream, but the Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream might be a good substitute for the Benton if you're steering clear of Benton. I don't think it prevents acne but my spots seem to heal a lot faster when I'm using snails twice a day. Plus my skin just seems happier when it's properly moisturized, and I feel like maybe happy skin is less acne-prone.
I also use the Missha FTE in the morning and the Missha Long Name Ampoule at night, and while I have no idea if they're helping with acne, I can say since I put this whole routine together my cystic acne has decreased quite a bit. Some might say it's mostly the Retin-A and spironolactone, but I was on those for months before I added the Korean stuff, and once I added the Korean stuff my breakouts got almost immediately better. I've had two spots in the last month; before I had 5-6 spots on my face at any given time.
Anyway, I have no idea if it'll help anyone, but here's my whole routine:
AM:
Wake up and pop my spironolactone pills
Hop in the shower, wash my face with Hadalabo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam
Missha Time Revolution the First Treatment Essence
Alpha Hydrox Intensive Serum 14% Glycolic AHA, I ALTERNATE this every other day with a Vitamin C serum (Mad Hippie). If I do the glycolic acid serum every day, my skin gets flakey
(Eat breakfast, make coffee, wait 20 minutes)
The Face Shop Chia Seed Moisture-Holding Seed Essence
Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
Create Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil and 3% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment (on my spots only, I try to wait about 10 minutes before I put on sunblock)
Innisfree Eco Safety No Sebum Sunblock (SPF35/PA+++)
PM:
Oil cleanse with pure evening primrose oil (this seems to be wonderfully calming and hydrating for me)
Hadalabo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam
Stridex pads, just where I break out - chin/jawline
Wait 15 or 20 minutes - not sure it's necessary but I like to do it
Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule
Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream (sometimes mixed with a little marula oil)
Wait 15 or 20 minutes
Tretinoin/Retin-A
Create Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil and 3% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment on any spots
Sometimes a layer of Aquaphor or Vaseline
I also started taking zinc (as zinc monomethionine or "Optizinc"), 5,000 IUs of vitamin A, turmeric, regular fish oil, and fermented cod liver oil (which is expensive and only made by one or two companies, at least here in the US, but is chock full of good stuff we otherwise don't get a lot of - like Vitamin K2).
Sorry I just wrote a book. :/
I also have a ton of samples I'm currently testing so I'll post reviews later on. So far I've tried the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask and I really like it. Will probably start doing that once a week.
ETA: I don't mean to suggest that this routine is any kind of acne cure, but I shared it because I have been honestly SO PLEASED with how dramatically it's decreased my cystic spots. It has been such a surprise to me.
I got mine off of Amazon! It’s like $10. Be careful about what brand you buy because a lot of cheap brands are not pure jojoba oil. I use this Cliganic one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A74442I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nTx9BbBK79D2Q
And a little goes a long way. I just put my thumb on the opening and tip the bottle over to get a tiny bit for my entire face.
I personally use these things all from amazon. Works amazing. I rub it on my cuticles once a day. Within a week they looked so healthy and amazing. Massage it into your cuticles for just a few minutes. So worth it.

AM:

PM:

Exfoliant: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Foaming Scrub
I'm looking into using my mom's clay mask once weekly, would this replace my neutrogena as an exfoliant? - its a Nurta-lift kaolin one, so i can just use water with it. It's this: https://www.amazon.com/Pharmagel-Nutra-Lift-Facial-Masque-6oz/dp/B005IAZNKO/ .
I'm also going to buy this rosehip oil to use after my Moisturizer. Does it look good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LNOV8JO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2GFWEEOABZ6DB&amp;psc=1 .
I use the plain old bodywash provided by the gym in their showers, but the key is to really hydrate with lotion after you get out of the shower and dry off.
I use this stuff all over my body, this stuff on my knees, elbows and bottoms of my feet and this stuff on my hair. Seems to do the trick- skin stays nice and soft and I no longer get comments saying, "you smell like a pool." Oh, also shower BEFORE the pool so you're wet when you get in, helps protect your hair from absorbing the chlorine.
roses are red,
violets are blue,
I don't like this day
but I'm not in dismay.
(sorry that was horrible but that's all I could come up with lol)

Unless your skin is very dry you could probably get away with just an oil afterwards, if you don’t have the time/money to get a moisturizer right now. Like I said, the one I use is the Acure brand argan oil (available on Amazon for $6.44 https://www.amazon.com/Acure-Essentials-Argan-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B004DTQ9L8 ) you only need 2-3 drops so a bottle will last a long time!
Also available in places like Target, natural grocery stores, etc. I even found some at TJ Maxx recently! ( which is actually a really good place to look for some great skincare finds!)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BZ1OP9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_MWufSkyNmqvW5
I sniffed mine earlier and it doesn't have the odor you're referring to. That's really odd... Maybe you got a dud? :/
Teddy Organics make a good one too. Both have the same effect, but I prefer Life Flo because it's cheaper.
Are you talking about this Shiseido oil or this one? Pretty stark price difference!
Ummm, I know cold pressed is supposed to be better. Lots of people use TO'S. I've just been using this one off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9XS6B6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rhoUCb7W7X2NF

Is this a good dupe for Sunday Riley Luna?
Would I be better served to get TO lactic acid and TO granactive retinoid to try to dupe Luna and Good Genes? Which strengths?
I bought deluxe SR samples but thinking about paying for the full sizes gives me heartburn.
Has anyone used Radha Rosehip Seed Oil? I'm trying to choose a substitute from the list of TO dupes that is affordable / bulk / not fake / ships free with Amazon Prime. Price seems a little bit too good to be true, so just wanted to get a few opinions first! :)
I try to keep mine simple while still doing what I can to prevent further damage. I didn't take care of my skin at all in my 20s so I'm undoing damage now, but the vitamin C serum and sunscreen combo have helped a ton. I have fairly sensitive skin, and it gets easily dehydrated as well.

Whenever my skin still gets dehydrated for whatever reason I apply Rosehip oil. Sometimes I do a chick pea flour + Turmeric mask which works great but is a bit drying so the oil helps a lot.
hey you should use tamanu Oil Just put it once a day and it will get rid of your eczema, not as in get rid of but it will make it go away while you put it. also keep it moisturized like Fuck
Thanks for your feedback. I figured that that that was the case - that my skin was experiencing being bare for the first time in a couple years, but I wasn't sure if the peeling was because my skin was missing something or if it was "normal" for it to peel for a bit just after a big shave.
So, would this be okay to buy?

I may not look pretty, but I can smell pretty!
Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that Automod has removed your comment because it contains an Amazon referral link, which we don't allow in the sub.
Could you please edit the URL so that everything from (and including) "tag=" is removed? That way, the product page will still be visible - but no one can make a profit from the link. Here's the tag-free URL for an easy copy & paste:

If you've done that, please reply to this message so I can approve your comment. Thank you!
I had acne for a number of years. It's different for everyone, but when I stopped using harsh chemicals that nuked my face and started using an oil based cleanser with tea tree oil, I stopped getting all acne. It's magic. If you live near a Trader Joes, they sell it for $5 or so. Meijer and kroger in the Midwest sells a similar brand called Desert Essence. It smells weird and hurts if it gets in your eyes but it works. Bonus points if you get some jojoba oil from the same skincare line and use it after as a moisturizer. It seems counterintuitive to use oil to clean a broken out face but it seriously works. It changed my life. My skin usually adapts to cleansers after 6 months or so but this stuff still works after a year.
Edit : added link. It's way cheaper in stores than in Amazon. Trader Joe's SPA Face Wash with Tea Tree Oil 8.5 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074MNCDY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_g.dfvb07WPWAP
Okay, to be fair, no I have not tried her pure argan oil. I have tried her whipped argan oil body butter though, and I can honestly say I found the product to be a disappointment. It does not live up to the hype or the price. You can buy organic, cold pressed argan oil much cheaper from other brands -- which is my suggestion. I love argan oil but Josie Maran is not my favorite brand for it. (And on that subject, here are some argan oils I have used and loved: one and two.)
I like marula for my sensitive skin. There are cheaper options than DE—I liked but didn’t love theirs. I’m curious about this one I’ve seen recommended but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Here's the link to the Rosehip I use from Amazon

Would you mind taking a look and letting me know if this is what the TO one is? Again I'm confused by the labeling of "Rosehip" versus "Rosehip Seed." If there's a difference I want to get the TO one.

Thank you!
I just bought it on amazon - I got this one just based on the good reviews.
Hope people see this, I need help...

I want to add the following products:
Any suggestions on how/when?
This is the brand of jojoba oil I have. I tried to smell it more since you'd asked and its just very neutral? It sort of barely has a scent if you're looking for it (or if you use a ton).
This one with Glamoflauge foundation.
I use this one
Number 1 best seller in facial oils!
I agree with greenbudha's comment, natural oils are the way to go for dry skin if you're looking for a more natural yet effective approach. I started using argan oil 6 months ago for dry skin and never looked back. I recently discovered rose hip oil as well to use on my skin at night. If you have never used these oils before, you could test a small amount on your skin in case you have a different reaction to these oils. Here are the products I use:
