You said pores cant be closed but certain lasers claim otherwise.

Do you have any advice for skin tightness?

Thanks for all your contributions to the forum by the way. We really appreciate it.

They cant be closed. Afaik, the laser tightens the skin around the pore the same as everything else.

In short, do what you can to keep your collagen and elastin in good shape. Radio frequency treatments, retinoids, all that jazz.

And no worries, glad I can be of use.

Start by getting a decent basic routine down. Cleanse, moisturise, SPF. Other than that, a salicylic acid product is probably a good option for you to start with.

So a normal /r/skincare routine is good enough to start with?
Should i put sunscreen whenever i go out?
And after a bit start with saliclyic acid?

And when should i start using retin a?

If you mean the stuff on reddit, some of it can be questionable.
Yes.
Yes.
Do you have a prescription for retin a? Or are you just getting it online?

Will probably try to get a prescription
Also can you recommend a sunscreen?
And what is the best way to make skin less oily?

I've got product recommendations in the skincare guide I wrote- should be a few options there.
It depends on the reason for your skin being oily. If you're dehydrated, your skin might be over producing oil in order to try to compensate. In which case a moisturiser will really help. Even if that's not the case actually, a mattifying moisturiser will likely help a lot.
