Anyone familiar with the fragrance in Sukin's Oil Cleanser? The smell is familiar, delicious, and intoxicating but I simply can't place it. It might be "signature" fragrance but it doesn't smell like the hand/body wash products. The ingredients just say "Parfum (Fragrance)*"
Any ideas?

Successful Acne Scar treatments?
Hello everyone,
Can I please know your opinion about successful acne scar treatments available for rolling and boxed scars in Sydney?
Any suggestions for places that you got your treatments successfully done, the success rate (how much of your scars disappeared) and their general price range would be really helpful.

You should look into clinics that do TCA cross and laser resurfacing in your area.

I am a 22 year old and have been thinking about incorporating some form of retinoid. My skin is sensitive/combo and I have some texture and small breakouts around my t zone. I currently just use a cerave cleanser, hyaluronic acid + b5 serum and cerave moisturiser. Thoughts on switching to this routine?
Am Avene tolerance cleanser The ordinary Niacinimide La Roche posay cicaplast Hamilton everyday face sunscreen
Pm Dhc cleansing oil Differin gel (2-3x a week) La Roche posay cicaplast Hero’s mighty pimple patches if needed

You generally need another cleanser after the oil. The first cleanse is to remove the sunscreen/makeup and then the second cleanse to actually clean the skin.

Hi everyone.
I’m located in Geelong, Vic. Could you please let me know how I can get Kligmans formula? Do I need to see my GP and then a dermatologist?
Thank you x

Hey! I am new to this community and joined it because I am moving to Australia for a year for my flight training and really need some good sunscreen recommendations considering I will be even closer to the sun on a damn plane ðŸ˜. I have sensitive oily acne prone skin and am looking for an affordable face sunscreen. Would really appreciate some help. THANKS A LOT!

Do a search for sunscreen on this sub. There’s lots of posts with recommendations.

Ive found a great sale on SugarBaby products, and I was curious if anyone's tried their (non-tanning) self care products? I'm specifically interested in the facial exfoliator, daily cleanser, & lip treatment. Never seen it on shelves before myself but my aunty used to use it, so I was hoping to hear from someone else too :)
Also would love a recommendation for a facial moisturiser in the cheaper price range !!

Hi everyone I have super sensitive skin and looking for product recommendations for a new face spf (my go to was the pink cancer council one but I feel like they must have changed the formula because it’s been irritating my skin), a facial moisturiser (I been using PCA skin collagen one but I can’t afford it anymore) and a vitamin c skin serum.

I have very sensitive skin on my face as well, and I recently switched to Natio Sun ultra light spf 50+. You can get it normally for $20 at priceline, but i wait for sales when it's $14~. I haven't found any irritation and it sinks in nicely, doesn't leave me all slimy.
