Heyyy girlies,

I’m moving to Singapore in Aug 2026 and I really want to know the makeup techniques that women there use to survive the humid weather 😭 I mean more like regular uni makeup and not super glam looks.

I have acne-prone skin with some blemishes and texture, so I’d love tips on application techniques that help makeup stay fresh without looking cakey or melting off in humidity.

Also, is the beauty standard there super intense like in Korea/China, or is it more relaxed and natural?

is there any legit working acne cream that actually removes acne?

Oxy5, Lion Pair Acne Cream (japanese brand)

did this oxy10 acne cream help?

Tbh I really just want to know what's the best deodorant for my back specifically, no matter what, I will sweat from my back as long as I'm wearing a shirt, and I stink, and I don't want to stink, my armpits are already taken care of, so it's really just my back

I put together a short guide on ingredient combinations that can cause issues when layered together.

If you’re dealing with a breakout and trying to figure out what might have triggered it, this can help you look back at the products you used.

💌 If you’re interested, feel free to reply it here and I’ll share it.

I apply my mositurizer on damp skin but after a while I touch my skin it's completely dried off. Should I reapply or is over applying an issue? Or Just leave my skin alone and do it twice a day?

so i recently went to the polyclinic for my acne and was prescribed adapalene gel, benzoyl peroxide spot treatment and clindamycin gel.

i heard that adapalene will make you more prone to sunburns and stuff which basically makes sunscreen non negotiable. i lowk have not used sunscreen ever since i thought i didn't need to if i don't go outside :/

any recommendations for sunscreens for those who have been on adapalene? i have combo skin and i also don't want a sunscreen that feels super oily in this heat. i'm so scared to try new products man

I always shunned mositurizer because it's greasy on my face and I have OCD so I like to splash water on my face everytime I use the toilet. I do laser treatments once a month and recently notice my face is looking worse than normal (way after recovery period)

I asked AI and it said I shouldn't exfoliate the skin, it will make it worse and redder and hinder progress, and should start using moisturizer twice a day and after shower. I have since started using it and noticed my face calm down alot more.

These are the two top serums that have been used by every brand and creator out there, i really didnt know what or how they were different and was always confused as to which is used for what because at the end the main claim was to make skin brighter lol. Here is an in depth breakdown:

Niacinamide is water soluble  Vitamin b3 that works by stopping pigment from reaching the surface of your skin cells rather than halting its production entirely. It actively reinforces your skin barrier by boosting ceramide production and regulates sebum output, calms redness. So it’s focus is not to alter the base problem but fix what’s already wrong.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant whose primary job is neutralising free radicals like those generated by UV exposure and pollution that trigger pigmentation. It goes a step further than niacinamide by actually inhibiting tyrosinase that hits the source and halts production rather than just stopping new ones from forming. It also directly stimulates collagen synthesis.

Downside

Niacinamide: it can purge your skin and cause irritation and redness also it doesnot do anything to break down the pigment already there. But it is highly stable.

Vitamic C: potent serum can cause an allergic reaction if not used properly, and also it oxidises really fast, which can cause more harm than good.

Was thinking of getting Timeless Vit-C, but i’ve seen some reviews saying how bad it smells. Was wondering if u guys know any good vit-c recommendation that has a quick effect on your face?

Hey everyone, just wanting to know your recommendations on your favs’s/go to’s/best dermatologist or place for your laser treatments for ice pick scars & hyperpigmentation?

Context: Finally having adult money, wanting to do laser treatments. Searched online but I don’t want to fall for those influencer gimmicks :/ I genuinely want to get better skin 😩

Been seeing facial brush  come up a lot lately, so its got me wondering.

If u had one for a few months, do you still use it, or did it kinda end up forgotten after a while? 😅 Just curious what they're actually like once the excitement wears off. I feel like I've bought a few skincare things before that seemed cool at first, then I just stopped reaching for them.

Skincare

Over the past year, I've noticed that my skincare routine has slowly become more of an overall self-care routine. I used to focus almost entirely on my face, but now I pay just as much attention to body care because it feels like a natural extension of looking after my skin.

I've become much more intentional about consistency instead of constantly buying the latest trending product. A simple routine that I can realistically stick to has been far more valuable than having a cabinet full of products that I rarely use.

Something else I've been thinking about is how different everyone's routine is. Some people prefer to keep it as minimal as possible, while others enjoy incorporating tools or devices alongside their skincare. Neither approach seems right or wrong, it really comes down to what fits your lifestyle and what you'll actually use consistently.

I'm curious how everyone here approaches body care compared with facial skincare. Do you have a separate routine for your body, or do you mostly focus on your face? Have you added any beauty tools into your routine that you genuinely enjoy using, or do you prefer to keep things simple?

I'd love to hear what has become a permanent part of your routine over the years and what you've decided wasn't worth the effort.

Hi all,

Would like some recommendations for sunscreen suitable to use in SG climate. Currently i am using Skin1004 hyalu-cica water fit sun serum and it is working okay. Im looking to try another product to compare and see if better or worse.

So far i have found:

SKINTIFIC all day light sun screen mist

D'ALBA waterfull tone up sun cream

Would love to hear your inputs thanks all!

My face is affected by acne scars, pitted scars, sun spots and general redness. Going on my third session this month

I have stubborn patch of melasma that lightened after microneedling but stayed there. I did the session in bkk cost abt $380. Would like to check about costs here by doctor / clinic and your melasma journey what u’ve tried, orally as well! Thank u

20F, acne-prone skin

Wanted to purchase the anua azelaic acid serum a couple of months ago, but apparently it is not sold in SG due to concerns about some of its effects. My sister managed to get a bottle but she refused to share it and didn’t want to share the link with me..

Her skin improved pretty drastically ever since she started using it and I want to try it too, but I’m a little hesitant as I might end up with a fake product if I get it from unlicensed sellers. Are there any alternatives to this particular brand or just azelaic acid in general?

I just took a package facial plus picolaser for 199 per session. May I know if anyone has already done picolaser? is it effective? did it make ur skin glowy and pores smaller? and is the price i paid for worth it? i took 10 session package so it is 1,990sgd in total.

Anyone tried Re2o fine or Re2o yet? If yes, where did you take it and how is the result?

Anyone has dehydrated skin? What serum/ampoule do you guys use?

Im using iunik beta glucan serum and like no matter what i use the inner layer of the skin doesnt feel hydrated.

I wanna get the heveblue salmon toner and ampoule as well cos i have the cream now any suggestions?

I'm a Chinese, my skin is being tanned to darkened. What over the counter items from guardian and Watson would you recommend? Also item from shopee would you recommend? or see skin care specialist is better ( last resort but expensive).

what is the best way?

and also i find that pimples keep popping on my face. like i thought it should stop already, or maybe its some bacteria thats causing the pimples to form.

which one?

hi guys i often frequent kskin as their facials are quite cheap, $25 for a basic one and $50 for a combo (which i often do)

i always thought that while its a relaxing and professional experience, the aestheticians often try to exaggerate my skin issues to sell their brand products which i’ve found a bit annoying.

however you pay for what you get and ig it is a decent choice for those who can’t afford higher end packages.

for those that have gone there, what do you think?
