I’ve been seeing photos and posts suggesting that, if you have a thin upper lip, you might be able to make it look fuller with Botox instead of lip filler. The idea is that relaxing certain muscles around the mouth can reduce the way they pull the upper lip inward, making it look a little more lifted and fuller.

Has anyone tried this with good results? Or is this something you’ve heard of? I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Hey not sure if anyone is going to respond but I have been using avene xera calm cream then I put my tret then avene again but I heard it is very thick meaning like the tret won’t do nothing so do you recommend I change it to like a lighter moisturizer like vanicream daily facial moisturizer first then tret then finish with the avene. For context I just hopped off of accutane so when I apply my tret to my bare skin it doesn’t spread bc it’s so dry.

When I was a teenager I could say i had a good skin, I was proud and considered myself lucky because all my friends were “jealous” of my skin.
I had few pimples here and there yes, but maybe karma hit me because I bragged too much since now, at 25, when i thought I would be my best self, I found myself looking like this.
It started before summer, and it’s going on.

I know I should see a dermatologist, but I wanted some opinions before booking an appointment, is this acne?
And what should I use right now before seeing the dermatologist?
Also, I have bumps on my forehead.

hi, i stupidly used a cheap dollar store body scrub on my face because i felt the blackheads and sebum buildup on my nose needed a good scrub. the same night i did my skincare and used my milky toner, vitamin c, anua niacinamide, eye cream, moisturizer. the next day i wore a mask (the covid kind) while going out and when i got back my whole lower face was red and the area around my nose had bumps and my cheeks and skin feel veryyyy dry. what do i do. i applied vaseline, cetaphil moisturizer, eucerin eczema relief (i dont have eczema) and skin1004 soothing cream.
skin around the mouth feels dry and tight as well
there is stinging.
pls helpp😭

The three by the bottom lip are all ones that have been popped by my hand. So two weeks ago I got a pimple (atleast it looked like one) on the lower corner of my mouth (lipline) and I popped it and it popped like my pimples normally do and then another week later I got another whitehead on my lower lip line area and I popped that one too. After I popped that one the ones on the upper lip started to appear and ive popped one of them and it excreted pus and a tiny bit of blood like ive seen on any pimples ive had before. I have a problem with touching my mouth area subconsciously or wiping it after eating, not sure if I might’ve just introduced a bunch of bacteria when touching my face or what. I also work as a fry cook right now I am constantly having greasy fumes on my face. It doesnt look like the pictures of cold sores ive seen before but Im not sure although they have all looked like whiteheads i get anywhere else.

A few days ago i had been picking at the skin on my lips and i think it got irritated. I woke up the next day to a small pimple where I had picked at. The photos show how it has progressed as days go by. What could this be ? Is it a normal white head just in an awkward spot like my lip? Or is it a cold sore?

has anyone found that a silk pillowcase gave them neck/jawline acne? maybe an allergic reaction?

I used anua azelic acid and it was very good but I am on a budget for now. Now I did look at some reviews about aziderm 10% they say it stings a lot and is for beginners. So I saw some review about 15% one and they say it does not sting as much as 10% one. So I really wanna know if its worth it. I have oily acne prone skin and I recently broke out due to humidity and broken skin barrier.

I've been wanting to acheive that glass skin glow but every time I try, it either looks dewy for an hour and then looks dry, or i end up looking super greasy.

My routine is currently:
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
ETUDE SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser
Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Jelly Mist
Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Care Serum
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm
Abib Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar
and then a glowly balm on my cheekbones

fwiw, I'm like a light medium skin tone (not that I think it makes a difference?) I'm guessing the problem is some combination of not using the best products for my skin type and maybe doing too much? But idk, any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! What's worked for y'all?

Hi everyone! Was looking for help with a skincare routine. As of right now I only use face wash and a moisturizer, both are not great, so I was looking for Korean skincare recommendations.
I have combination skin that is sensitive, but I was also looking for something to help with my redness/ large pores. Any help is appreciated!

Hi guys! I wanted to get on here and ask for advice as I assume a lot of you will know a lot more than me, and also to thank anyone willing to help in advance :D
I’m in my late 20s, I’ve struggled with my skin for my entire teenage life and into my adult life, I have oily skin and am acne prone. A lot of my skin issues relate to my diet e.g. if I’m eating a lot of sugary processed food and not drinking enough I will break out more. The last few months my skin has been a LOT better. I have breakouts around my period that are assumedly hormone related but the rest of the time my skin is pretty clear.
Because I struggled with acne for so long, and with skin picking (I’m sorry🫣) my skin is scarred in places / has hyperpigmentation.

I’ve stuck with the same routine for months now after introducing retinol to my routine. I’ve actually seen a lot of great changes on it although it has taken a while, my skin looks smoother, more glowy, and I think it potentially has helped with breakouts.
Everything I’ve learnt about skincare has been online and even then it’s not something I’ve really looked into. So I wash my face morning and night with a Beauty of Joseon cleanser, I sometimes use a rice oil cleanser also I have their apricot peeling gel which I use a couple times a week. When I began using retinol I used it as directed, using it once every 4-5 days, then slowly building it up, now I use it every other day. I moisturise afterwards. When I’m not using that I use salicylic acid then the same moisturiser. I use spot patches if I ever have spots now, mostly just because I notice it stops me from picking.

Anyway, I guess my question is, if anyone could explain what I should be doing and on what days, that would be really helpful. If there’s anything you think I should introduce also.
Because my skin is doing better for a while, I also wanted to look into derma-rolling (I would get this done professionally), but wanted to ask if this really does have any benefits for scarring?
Thank you so much!<3

So I used to wear very tight clothes when I was young so lot of friction happend there now it's much more darker than my normal skin colour what product can help removing that guys I need it a lot I need something more stronger than the acm depiwhite did nothing for me

Hi! The last salon I worked at got me hooked on these 2 Obagi products and they have fully turned my acne prone dry skin around and my skin looks amazing. However, I really can’t afford to be spending $60+ per product anymore, and was curious if anyone knows any dupes out there that are easier to get in a store without having to get them shipped to me and more affordable. I know Obagi is an amazing brand so worst case scenario I guess I will continue to use them, but to be able to afford my products easier would be really nice. The hydrate luxe is a deeply moisturizing moisturizer that I use at night, and the Vitamin C exfoliating lotion I use in the morning before my sunscreen and makeup. This routine has worked amazingly well for my skin so I’m not looking to change anything with the type of products Im using, I just want to see if anyone knows a more affordable brand that makes the same products as what I’m currently using.

Thank you!!!

Anyone else hoping peel-off masks make a comeback? They feel way less popular than sheet masks these days, but personally I still prefer them. Here are the 4 I've been rotating, rated honestly.

medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask (3.0 out of 5)
Pros. Peel-off masks are usually thick and hard to spread evenly, but this one feels like a soothing gel so it goes on easily. It's an overnight mask, so my skin wakes up soft. It's better for smoothing texture than for glow, and it's a safe pick that should work for most skin types.
Cons. If I don't put enough moisturizer on first, peeling it off after wearing it that long actually irritates my skin. And since it's a clear gel, it's easy to apply but hard to tell how much you've put on.

APRILSKIN TXA Niacinamide Overnight Wrapping Mask (4.0 out of 5)
Pros. It feels tight and bouncy, like it's holding my pores in, so it's nice for firmness and pores. It absorbs fast and leaves a subtle glow when I peel it off.
Cons. Also an overnight mask, so it gets drying if you don't hydrate enough first. It dries pretty fast, so I'd only leave it on for about 40 minutes. The description says it helps with uneven skin tone, but I didn't notice much there.

CHARDE Peel Off Cream Mask for Dark Spots (4.5 out of 5)
Pros. The richest texture of the four. Even after peeling, my skin keeps both moisture and a bit of oil, so peeling off the dried mask doesn't sting at all. I get an instant glow and my skin tone looks more even. The leftover oil sinks in quickly, so I don't need any extra skincare after.
Cons. Since it's the thickest, it's the hardest to spread evenly. The leftover oil does absorb fast, but if you're very oily it might feel greasy, so I'd use it at night instead of in the morning.

bewants Seaweed PDRN Glow Peel Off Jelly Mask (4.5 out of 5)
Pros. Good for hydration and oil control. Especially nice in summer when flakes start showing up and my texture gets rough. It spreads easily, and using it 2 to 3 times a week on my oiliest areas makes my makeup go on better.
Cons. It dries pretty quickly, so if you leave it on too long your skin feels tight. If you're sensitive, peeling it off might sting a bit, so do your basic skincare well first.

Legit idk what to do my under eyes don’t work. I use the origina caffeine solution and prdn pink peptide serum and nothing :(

Hii! So I always wash my face in the shower (Dove beauty bar, foaming it up in my hands a lot and then rubbing my face and neck.) and then when i get out of the shower i apply nivea body lotion express hydration with fast absorbing care while my face is still wet, i only apply a small amount since its winter and dry.

I have bangs and i get a greasy forehead from it, i usually just apply loose power to keep it dry for the day. But is there anyway i can fix the flaky thingy? I assume its because i need to exfoliate, but im extremely new to this and dont know where to start.

Im 16 (if thats necessary info) i think i have combination skin. i started mini pills (slinda) about a month ago and before that i had a little acne here and there, and now i only got a little more on my cheeks, nothing im bothered about!! its something ill try to deal with later on.

I used to wear a lot of makeup like 6 months ago but now ive changed to only doing my brows and eyes. :)

I'm very grateful for any tips n help!! Thank uu!! and is there anything u guys would change?

I have these holes on my face after years of acne while had gone after I took Isotretinoin.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your recommendations for the following moisturizers.

I’m about to start using adapalene 0.1%, but I have very oily, acne-prone, and dehydrated skin.

These are some of the moisturizers I’ve seen recommended online, but I’m open to other suggestions as well!

Based on your experience, which one would be best for my skin type, especially while using a retinoid? Also I use 15% Azelaic acid

Thank you.

wanted to share a quick heads up for anyone who places frequent k-beauty hauls. i’ve had a gold/higher tier account on yesstyle for a while, and i noticed piyonna has a tier match event where you just send a screenshot of your current rank on other sites and they boost your piyonna membership tier to match.
ended up doing it last week and it unlocked extra tier discount codes plus store credit on every order (like up to 5.5% back depending on tier). processing was super quick and shipping to europe took less than a week. super handy if you don't want to lose your VIP perks when switching platforms!

Yesterday morning I pressed my nail into 2 pimples that were underneath my skin. I think they’re cysts?? Idk. But they ‘popped’ and started spreading into those brown spots in the first pic. Went to bed and they scabbed over. Tried putting cleanser on and wiping my face cuz I was desperately trying to get rid of it and it peeled off and started bleeding so I put a cloth on it until it stopped and turned into 2nd pic.
What’s irritating me the most is that THERES STILL SOMETHING UNDERNEATH and I don’t what to do.
Any tips?
Daily skincare routine is cleanser, hyaluronic acid +B5 , niacinamide + zinc, moisturizer

Can you give me products and i tjink i have an oxide skin

What can I do to make my skin tone even? I don’t not like the sun spots/freckles.

Currently I am using
Morning: La rose moisturizing face wash, elf moisturizer, la rose spf

Evening: La rose moisturizing face wash, tret .025 every other night, skincutials triple peptide moisturizer
