General skincare vs 30+ skincare room

r/SkincareAddiction is for skincare with a science-based approach. r/30PlusSkinCare exists because its founders wanted a room specifically for skin over 30 while still liking broader skincare communities.

Both have SubMouse pages (SkincareAddiction about 5.0M, rank #177; 30PlusSkinCare about 2.5M, rank #451). Activity samples mix text and media; SkincareAddiction is busier (roughly 258 vs 54 posts/day).

Collected titles encode the age filter and shared anti-spam norms. 30PlusSkinCare removes posts when the poster is under 30, bans medical-advice asks, MLM shilling and limits selfies to Sunday. SkincareAddiction emphasizes kindness, safety, no referral/blog spam and post requirements. Bring general routine science questions to SkincareAddiction; bring 30+ specific concerns to 30PlusSkinCare—without treating either as medical care. (AsianBeauty remains a separate ingredient/routine neighbour.)

r/SkincareAddiction: general science-leaning skincare; safety and anti-spam titles (collected).
r/30PlusSkinCare: over-30 focus; under-30 posters removed (collected title).
Age lane is the main split. Both have full SubMouse community pages.
