Something similar happened to me with the Estee Lauder advanced repair eye cream. I used it for weeks with no issues and then one day I woke up with sores under my eyes! Had to stop using it altogether.Heads up - steer clear of the Ole Henriksen banana eye cream
Can anyone help with a recommendation to improve the appearance of open pores (if that's the right name) they are on my nose from when I squeezed blackheads-gross I know. But look like wee moon craters now and make up sinks into them. Or is there no way to improve the appearance of them now and are they just scars?. Late 30s and I still would have a lot of blackheads on my nose area/t zone too.
Also under eye concealer for dark circles in particular? Found the Maybelline Erase one crap and every1 raves about it.

I use Estée Lauder intense eye repair. I think I’m going to try the ordinary caffeine eye cream when I run out.
I'm kind of a jolty, less common woman with a little bit more time and more experience with popular brands and brands I'd love to share my knowledge of to help others. I use face and body products from Balms, concealers and tinted moisturizers to lipstick. I use a variety of lipsticks and lipstick pencils including Betty Boop, Nars, OCC Liquid Lipstick and The Balm Pencil. I love a big pop of color when I do my makeup in the morning and/or when I need a little help on those pesky eyeshadow lines. My favorite pimple creams are my Maybelline FitMe Extreme Pimple Glycolic Acid Toner 10% by LAVO Essence Korean Skin Care Milk Brightening Toner

Hello! Yes, it sounds like you have rosacea. Definitely azaleic acid, either garden of wisdom, the ordinary, or the inkey list, also la Roche posay rosaelic serum is very good too! Dr Sam’s night serum is also effective as it contains low level retinol, azaleic, and niacinamide in a lovely hydrating formula. Stay away from essential oils, and rose containing products! Xx
The little bits on your nose are sebaceous filaments and sadly will never go completely
but there are things to help! I’d use a gentle acid everyday, like lactic acid, and something containing niacinamideThank you so much. The only two products I currently use (acid from cleansers etc) are drunk elephant la la whipped cream am and Sunday Riley Juno pm. Does this seem ok? In terms of azaelic acid I was using it in my ordinary skin care routine but stopped. Could I use it prior to putting on my oil at night? I have combo skin due to pcos and broad products have really helped! Do you also have a cleanser recommendation?Hello! Yes, it sounds like you have rosacea.

Yes before oil
the dr Sam bunting would help then if you prefer broad products. Her cleanser is good, also slaai drunk elephant I love; and the avene gentle cleanser or la Roche 
I have high colouring too and it really is just how a lot of people’s skin is. Even in Winter my cheeks burn red and I’ve never found anything in a bottle that helps. Avoid hot or even warm water when washing your face and try and keep cool. Spicy foods can make it worse too. I get a lot of neck chest flushing and blotchiness if I eat spice. Sucks!
I picked up a Primark Matte lipstick today (£1.50) and OMG! Love it. Didn’t go dry and horrible and stayed on all afternoon. Going back to get more ASAP!!
They're brilliant. Amazing for the price. Their Double Wear 'dupe' foundation is worth a go too. About a fiver I think. Don't bother with any of the mascaras though. They're all pretty rubbish.
swear by this stuff!!
I also use Cerave products now I’ve got rid of the end of my pixi stuff. Which I hated!!
I’ve just wasted £20 on Bareminerals foundation (the mineral powder kind)- it was on offer and I had a feel unique reward thing to get money off. I used to use a lily lolo one years ago and everyone said my skin looked good with it so I thought I’d try the bareminerals- what the duck am i doing wrong with it or is it just crap?
it looks ok for all of 3 minutes but then it just cracks off my chin in dry patches and I go like a grease ball everywhere else, the wrong kind of glow, just shiny and nasty. My skin used to have oil issues but it seems to have been more ‘normal’ in recent years (as I get older!).
Any tips or do I just write it off?

Bad news I’m afraid.. even if you weren’t having trouble with how it sits on your skin it’s not something I would recommend you keep using.
It’s a well known irritant though so you might be able to get a refund on those grounds?
Wow that sounds insane, I feel even more annoyed and stupid now- I usually do more research but thought it’d be ok after I’d used mineral stuff before.
i should’ve just stuck to what I know (not mineral wise, I think I’d do better with liquid stuff)

I am 40 this year & ashamed to say my skincare routine consists of using a Lidl face wipe to take my makeup off (hangs head in shame) I really want to change this for obvious reasons but I’m not a girly girl & I literally have no idea where to start.
Any suggestions on what products might start me on the right path?
I would say my skin is combination but pretty dry in places I don’t suffer with acne but I do often get huge & very painful spots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Well for a start you need more then face wipes to take off your makeup. They only really take off the surface makeup you need a good cleanser or face wash to remove all your makeup.I am 40 this year & ashamed to say my skincare routine consists of using a Lidl face wipe to take my makeup off (hangs head in shame) I really want to change this for obvious reasons but I’m not a girly girl & I literally have no idea where to start.

I use micellar water to remove my makeup then wash my face with La roche posey effaclar purifying foaming wash then follow with face cream etc.
Thank you it really is lazy on my part, I need to up my game!
Has anyone had or knows of anyone having micro needing and chemical skin peel? I am considering this to help reduce scaring on my jaw line from hormonal acne which has now resolved.. would be interested to hear people’s views/ experience? Not keen on YouTube etc as I never know who is genuine!

This is a good article explaining a simple routine

For the spots I had the same and including niacinamide in my routine (at the serum stage) cleared it up in no time. However yours might go away once you establish a good routine on its own. Wipes are full of detergents (that’s how it ‘cleans’ the makeup etc off your skin) so it might be what’s causing the problem.
That’s great thanks that article is just want I needed!It’s never too late
