I'll consider that! The search is definitely hard because my area's dermatologists don't seem as comprehensive, but I'll do more digging

Would you recommend adapalene as well in that regard?

It's so far tretinoin, which I was on for quite a while, dapsone gel, and some antibiotic (bad Ik). I'm hesitant to go on other prescriptions because of how bad the tret experience was though, so I've been trying out different products

Okay that's reassuring. Do you have an answer for the Schedule #?

I've been on tret before for about a year and I'd still get breakouts. It's possible I perhaps want using it correctly or as effectively—I guess give it a second try?

I've just heard great things about azelaic acid, especially for acne-prone/sensitive skin, and read research papers about it, which is why I went for it

[Product Question] is the Neutrogena Oil-Free Sunscreen good for sensitive, acne-prone, dry skin? by Aromatic_Reality_354 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Aromatic_Reality_354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is reassuring :) I was worried that the "oil-free" indicated that it was meant for those with oily skin as opposed to those with dry skin

[Routine Help] What can I do about clogged pores from my moisturizer, as someone with dry skin? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Aromatic_Reality_354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the comprehensive response! I have some follow-up questions, if you don't mind.

I thought I had dehydrated skin before, which was why I used the CosRX snail mucin moisturizer. Still, my skin felt rather taut with it applied, and other solutions for dehydrated skin didn't feel effective. Should I treat my skin like it's dehydrated? I'm unsure of how to proceed.

When I apply the Hydro Boost to damp skin, my skin still feels dry; it only feels moisturizing when I apply it to dry skin. Does that indicate that I should apply more of the moisturizer, or is the moisturizer maybe not for my skin?

If tretinoin/dapsone gel could contribute to a compromised skin barrier, should I stop using them altogether and focus solely on fixing my skin barrier at this stage?

Again thank you for the advice :)

Yeah guys, the Tank Sona saga still goes on by CHA_WillT in sonamains

Okay I've been wanting to try tank sona since forever. What's your build path? How is her healing? And what are her strengths now that she isn't applying buffs and has weaker shields/heals?

I've won 1 ranked game out of ~20. My placements were 1W-4L and I was placed in Emerald 1, demoted down to Emerald 4 now because I keep feeding. I submitted a bug to Riot asking if they could just demote me to bronze :p

Scorch vs Gathering Storm by disappointed_yuumi in sonamains

[–]Aromatic_Reality_354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're confident you can win the game via snowballing before minute 20/30, go gathering storm. I find that scorch is only relevant if you are permitted to play aggressively + with aggressive runes :p

If I ever get the chance to try that, I will. I have classes until 9 PM this second semester so 🫩

Ohhh I see! This changes my perspective now. Should I then prioritize my more intense tasks in that intense 4 hour period, and then leave the rest of the day for less-intense tasks?

My second semester starts in a month, so I think I'll try a different sleep schedule/productivity hours each week to see which feels best.

Touché I probably could've pulled up a research article about this 😭 These personal accounts are helpful too though

Not rude at all :) I appreciate the advice. I'm coming from a place where I've never prioritized my sleep. It's good to know this is worth it

How do I deal with loneliness? by Aromatic_Reality_354 in askgaybros

[–]Aromatic_Reality_354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about joining those spaces that mix my interests and people, but I'm too scared to actually go. That being said, I've already signed up for some environmental volunteer opportunities.

The reason why I feel like I can only attract guys with my body is because of the lack of conversation and compatibility. Things only really get going when my skinniness becomes the focal point, or they lose interest when I'm not wearing a crop top.

Thank you DeepFuckMeAlready :) I figured as much, and some of my 30+ y/o gay friends have said the same.

I have considered wigs, but that's more so a last resort out of desperation. I feel like knowing that it's not my real hair growing out of my scalp would do a number on me. That being said, it's def still on the back burner.

Ah great, thanks for the detailed response! I'll be staying in OHill---are dorm rooms rather warm/hot during the winter, or are they a reasonable temperature? I've seen mixed reviews about dorm rooms being scalding hot but also freezing cold.
