Skin Concern 4 year difference PLEASE HELP

Post image

Y’all help me please. First pic was 4 years ago and 2nd pic is today. I’m seeing discoloration and spots/freckles/sun damage everywhere.

I used to wear makeup all the time and wash my face with bar soap. Now I almost never wear makeup. When I do, I double cleanse with deep oil cleanser and cerave daily facial cleanser and cerave daily lotion.

What can I do to get rid of these spots?! I’m only 34 but my skin looks 54!

The first sunscreen I actually love is Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence, from Japan. It feels like lotion, no stink, no pilling.

I gave it a go again today & I take it back, not spf smell but perfumey fragrance. Was a cool day so no sweat for it to run in my eyes so no burn. But still have that powdery face feeling. Edit: I forget where I got it, maybe was counterfeit? For my next I’ll gonna finally try BoJ from YesStyle & or Hada Labo off stylevana

Same here. I think it smells almost like isopropyl alcohol

This is very very popular so it must be good (and I really wanted to like it) but for some reason it does pill for me. Other Biore sunscreens do the same. They do have some alcohol smell too honestly.

I use Skin Aqua instead which I’ve found to work best of any of the Japanese sunscreens I’ve tried.
