Is my skincare working?
Why the mirror cannot answer this, and a 30-day protocol that can. The main one — start here.
How to take skin progress photos
Light, position, distance, time, expression. The six variables that have to hold still.
How long skincare takes to work
What the published sources actually say, why "4 to 8 weeks" is doing a lot of work, and when to quit.
Purging vs breakout
A question about time, not appearance. The cited windows, and the day-zero-to-week-six rule that settles it.
What a skin score can tell you
What a number computed from a photograph is and is not, what a skin age test really is, and the figure nobody publishes.
Ingredient timelines
Per-ingredient windows, each with the dimension it tends to show up in.
Ingredient pairs
Can I use these two together? Both windows side by side, and a dated order that keeps the answer attributable.
