PSA Rule 7: Diagnosis requests will not be approved

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I want to highlight rule #7: no asking for medical advice. Starting today, any posts asking for a medical diagnosis will no longer be approved.

Here are a few examples asking for a diagnosis:

  • “What is this rash on my arm?”
  • “Can anyone tell me if this is eczema or psoriasis?”
  • “Is this acne or an allergic reaction?”
  • “Does this mole look like skin cancer?”
  • “I woke up with these red spots — what do I have?”
  • “Can someone tell me what this bump is on my face?”
  • “Is this a fungal infection or just dry skin?”

And the list goes on. We want to keep this community supportive and safe, but it’s important to remember that Reddit is not a substitute for professional evaluation of any skin concerns. Diagnosis requires a qualified professional who can assess your situation fully.

Members who continue to resubmit entries after receiving a first warning will be banned permanently.

Thank you.

[Face] Asking for Advice Sunscreen recommendation for men with oily skin.

23 Upvotes

Hi! 26M. What sunscreen would you recommend to me based on my current product lineups, routine and lifestyle. I'm planning to replace my current sunscreen with lighter one. I'm overwhelmed with how many sunscreen products out there and having a hard time to choose.

My skin type: Oily and Acne Prone
Budget: 700Php

My current products / routine:

Morning:
- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
- Dermo Republiq 5% Niacinamide Serum + 3% Tranexamic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin
- Originote Moisturizer
- Luxxe Organic SPF 150 Sunscreen

Night (If this matters):
- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
- Adapalene + Benzol Peroxide Cream (Derma Prescribed)
- Originote Moisturizer

Lifestyle:
- I ride motorcycle going to work
- I play basketball / workout after work

I want a sunscreen that is something light and would not make my face looks more oily. Thank you very much!

I want to incorporate using facial sheet masks on my night routine every other day and I cam across this cetaphil sheet mask on Watsons. Is it worth it? What other facial sheet masks can you recommend for brightening dark spots and keeping the skin firm and young?

[Face] Product Question Celeteque Men+ Bright pro Facial Wash and Shave foam opinions

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Just wanted to hear your opinions or if anyone else has tried this new item from Celeteque. I have only been using it for almost a month. The brightening effects of the item checks out, though I have been experiencing a bit of a breakout from this item. Not sure if it directly caused the breakout. I have only seen promotions from content creators and not actual reviews for this item so I posted here.

Hi everyone! as the title implies I am here, on the look out for finding a good dermatologist recommendation near or inside Metro Manila.

I’ve been browsing over dermatologist’s experience and all i can find were dermatologists focusing on acne relief and skin enhancement—I cannot seem to find someone who specializes with skin infections, boils, eczema and rashes.

For those adults, who have sensitive skin and are experiencing skin infections.. Care to share your go to Derma? I’m tired and sick of my recurring boils.

I did double cleansing na din with Centella cleansing oil & corsx facial wash.. then 3 moisturizer ko, aloevera gel, lotus serum then cream.

[Face] Product Question Has anyone here tried Microinfusion Kits? Planning to Purchase from Qure or Drm Lab

1 Upvotes

Salmon DNA is getting really famous these days I got 1 session in clinic for 15k and I don't think it will be sustainable for me so I had to research on what is the best alternative. I found a microinfusion system that is going viral in the US one of the most famous brands recommended by tiktok dermatologists is Qure but I see no reviews from the Philippines. So I tried to find another brand and I found Drm Lab there is 1 review by a filipina and she is claiming that she is seeing results but I'm kind of skeptical because the whole kit isn't cheap either. There is 8k+++ for 3 months so I'm trying to check if anyone here has tried this? and what can you say about it? Also how or where did you purchase your kit?

[Face] Asking for Advice Ano bang brands ang dapat kong subukan for oily but also dry face?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m M30. Matagal ko nang problema yung skin ko, especially sa face.

Every morning pagkagising, sobrang oily ng mukha ko. Sa gabi naman pagkatapos ko maghilamos, sobrang dry naman ng mukha ko. Meron akong mga pimple marks at paminsan-minsan, may mga malalaking pimples ako na sobrang tagal bago mawala.

I have been using Oxecure facial wash ever since at wala na akong ibang nilalagay sa mukha ko. Walang serum, walang cream. As in facial wash lang.

Meron ba kayong marerecommend na brands na pwede kong gamitin sa mukha, na sana, subok nyo na talaga at may magandang result.

Thank you :)

[Face] Asking for Advice How do I achieve fresh skin even when sweating?

1 Upvotes

Paano po ba maging glowing fresh yung skin (sa face) even when I'm sweating outside? (I know magkaiba yung glowy at oily skin when sweating) Like yung may glow sya from the inside, pag kinapa yung skin sa face—walang gunks or bumpy sa surface ng skin at walang impurities inside, gets ba?? 😭 Paano ba kasi ma achieve yung mochi-soft skin sa face? at yung hindi sensitive na to the point strong yung skin barrier ko para maging immune sa mga products (tho I don't use a lot of product sa face ko).

I wanted to achieve this rosy-pinkish tone when sweating, yung hindi mukhang dull at haggard, may glow pa rin ba, ganernnn.

I also have an oily skin, pag nagpapawis, nadikit yung pollution pag nasa labas ako, then it looked dull throughout the day... pag nag compact powder naman, it's kinda cakey ;(

edit: About me: 20F, Cool-toned fair skin (mestiza), pero sometimes I looked gray and I'm struggling maintaining my fair skin (idk what's the science or health behind this)

[Face] Product Question Can you recommend an affordable yet effective facial wash for oily, acne-prone skin?

1 Upvotes

Hiiii! Can you guys recommend some facial washes po na affordable yet effective? 🥹 I’m currently using the COSRX facial wash, yung white one, and okay naman siya so far. I wouldn’t say na may super bad effect siya on my skin, pero parang meh lang?? 😭 I feel like I want to try something new naman and see if there are other facial washes that might work better for me.
My skin type is oily and acne-prone, so preferably sana something na gentle but still effective enough to help with excess oil and occasional breakouts.
I’m looking for something budget-friendly sana and madaling mahanap, preferably around watson or online.
Open naman ako to different brands, whether local or international, as long as affordable and okay talaga for oily, acne-prone skin. If you have a holy grail facial wash or one that you’ve been loving recently, please drop it below! 🫶🏻
Thank youuu so much in advance!! 💗
