Skincare is 90% useless
Good skin requires a good diet, sleep, exercise and water. Acne is 100% hormones (lifestyle cope). Anons spending over $20 on skincare (basic wash, moisturizer, suncream) are stupids.

Skincopers claim to "eat healthy". Post itemized diet
It’s 50/50.
Nurtrition doesn’t moisturize your skin.
Taking both vitamins trough nutrition and with serum is the most optimal.
Sebum does. Healthy sebum will not cause acne
>Nurtrition doesn’t moisturize your skin.
yes it does
Whats with theis guy that just spams your diet sucks in anything skincare related and then refuses to elaborate?
How often do you think he leaves his basement?
How do you think his skin actually looks?
because it is the truth. spend hundreds of USD on skincare, the common issue for acnetards is diet.
My acne cleared up as soon as I stopped using any sort of cleanser/moisturizer/soap on my face and started washing with only lukewarm water. It returns whenever I try using any sort of topical product.
Hormones are the primary trigger, but ingredients from consumer skincare products can absolutely exacerbate acne. Especially if you’re buying cheap topicals at the drugstore. Ingredients in these products are low quality and constantly get worse as the companies reformulate their products in attempt to cut costs.
>Acne is 100% hormones
I think it’s gut microbiome
There are multiple kinds of acne with multiple causes, some hormonal, some caused by your face having out of control colonys of bacteria and yeast, some caused by excessive keratin production in the skin etc etc
skin expression is controlled by hormones
Just admit you are too poor to afford skincare and stop coping
8mg astaxanthin daily is the holy grail of skin care
You’re welcome
Skincare is definitely not useless.. it’s just so variable to every person.
Switched cleaners/moisturizer and my face cleared up significantly. Not insanely expensive stuff either..
Now I also use tret, never get any acne at all anymore and it actually works for smoothing out blemishes, texture, and deaging.
I never would do a clean shave before tret, but now my skin is actually perfectly smooth enough to effortlessly do it. I can’t believe I lived this way for nearly half my life.

While you are mostly right, there are still situations where skin care from the outside is necessary, like extreme weather conditions which doesn’t happen often enough for evolution to take care of it.
going to the sauna every couple days is enough
22 years old and have never had a single blemish in my life. My diet is horrible, I just drink a lot of water. I’ve never even washed my face in the shower before lol
>I’ve never even washed my face in the shower before
do americans really?
this is one of those things I’ve never heard about in real life and never seen someone wash their face with anything other than water
22 is young. I was like you at your age. Around 26 or so I started having to wash once per day with a light soap to avoid acne. I usually use Dove sensitive skin and take care to not scrub hard or use too hot water. Now my biggest problem is dry skin, not acne. But my point is that it changes as you get older.
>26
>acne
your hormones are definitely hecked up
no man should get acne past puberty
I’m just one Anon, but I only get acne if I cum a lot, like 4+ times per day
edging for hours without cumming has the same effect now I think about it
>Now my biggest problem is dry skin
if it only happens during winter, that’s normal for most people
> just get good sleep bro
If only it were that easy…
Good skin requires not damaging it in the first place through sub exposure, nutritional deficiencies and dehydration. Acne is mostly caused by dairy intolerance/allergies that people dont want to accept they have. But yes, washing your face with cold water and applying a moisturizer whilst avoiding the sun is all you need. (T)retinol, niacinamide, vitamin c, vitamin e and hyaluronic acid are all proven to have benefits as well as red light, ipl and laser. Most lotions and creams are completely worthless unless you are also dermarolling since they can’t penetrate the skin well enough to make a difference
Putting shit on your skin actually doing anything tangible to its composition is dubious to begin with but the problem is there isn’t a single skincare product or advice that has any sort of scientific evidence or actual research & development behind it. Since putting that money into marketing is more profitbale. Seriously, you can’t find our what works or what is real, since none of it has anything legitimate behind it.
Most of so-called skincare is so obviously based on nonsensical quackery, some of which was invented by marketers generations ago, and having unhealthy, hecked up skin to begin with and mistaking some temporary relief from that as ‘care’. Meanwhile as someone with a naturally good skin I’ve had the opposite experience. Also, the main difference in looks is having a layer of shiny moisturiser on your face. This neither looks good nor is healthy. Perhaps worth doing if you have long, scalding showers on your face or you wear makeup (and strip your skin cleaning it) . But that’s a bandaid for bad habits.
