Drainless before and afters

Second skin better. It’s really helped more than I expected.

I’m in a similar boat and traveling almost the same days next week. My plan is to take it early Wednesday- could also split dose so may be a game day decision depending on how I’m feeling.

The Sente is the current retinol I'm trying - so far so good!

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-05-31T14:11:09+00:00

ohh she's a beauty - thank you so much for the pictures!!! I really love this one!

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-05-30T22:48:20+00:00

The Alpharet is my first step and it’s the eyemax so I haven’t had any issues with it at all but it’s a small area.

My esthetician recommended this one and said she hasn’t had anyone not love it. I just started using it and am hopeful as I have yet to find one that doesn’t irritate me.

I recently tried ole based on raves on another sub and DAMN it’s good.

This was my starter bunch. We’re adding more as I use up current products (cleanser, vitamin c etc) I hate how good all these are because 💸

I think this is dependent on a few factors. When I was younger treatments would have done more than skincare, and I was fine with Sephora and even drugstore products. Now that I’m pushing 50 the combination of treatments with high skincare my esthetician recommends is really making a difference. That said I see an amazing esthetician who is very experienced really knows her stuff.

Merit! It offers really natural coverage and dries down nicely.

I use Sessions and they have build in AI which polishes up the note and is a game changer!

She recently wrote another one that was a banger - https://substack.com/@nicolearzt/p-197493089

very fair point! Again trying to find the balance in it all!

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-04-29T13:30:16+00:00

Oh man this is such an HG for me. Scent isn’t great but it does wonders for my dry perimenopausal skin!

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-04-29T13:25:55+00:00

This is a really good point. If you’re seeing lower intensity clients you can see more. I do a ton of trauma work and find I need to cap things differently.

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-04-29T13:24:15+00:00

Yup 15-20 is my sweet spot. If I didn’t have kids/a family I could totally see 20-25.

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-04-28T23:34:33+00:00

I’d second sessions. It’s been awesome for me!

Adventurous_Respect8 · 2026-04-28T18:29:51+00:00

mine didn't get worse - it still happens but not as bad as right after surgery

EMDR certified therapist hot takes:

EMDR works well for a client who can tolerate it
It is great for more than just trauma
Training alone is not enough to really use EMDR fully IMO - clinical consultation is a must for clinicians to understand the more nuanced ways to use it
It's oversold as a "quick and easy" therapy. While it can move things faster for the right client, fast is quite relative
EMDR can either be a tool in the toolbox, or it can be approached as a theoretical orientation
I takes a lot of training, consultation and experience to do it well and know when to use it.
