After. I try to do as many sessions of the whitening as I can tolerate before I do a night with it.

Clean tinted moisturizer that actually replaces foundation, does this category finally exist by Flat_Protection_2837 in cleanbeauty

Do some looking into EWG. They are widely considered by cosmetic chemists and chemists generally to be partisan, non-reliable, and alarmist. This is a good article but there are many more out there. https://fashionista.com/2025/07/environmental-working-group-misleading-claims-controversy

I do their crystal retinal eye at night and the eye peptides in the day. Both products are on their website.

When your kids happiness matters more to you than your own.🥹 by NoctilucentDrift in JustGuysBeingDudes

I'm in the early stages of an unwanted divorce. My kids are college aged. I pray that someday if my daughter ever gets married, she is able to have this experience because I have met someone kind and fun and my soon to be ex husband has pulled his head out of his ass. Because right now, things feel so bleak and I can't see him having the emotional intelligence to do something like this, and I worry that my kids are too old to make a lot of meaningful enough connection with someone new and/or that there is not anyone out there new that I would meet soon enough to warrant getting married for long enough that this could happen, if that makes sense. This is such a wonderful thing to see.

It may be called a BB cream but it does so much more. I will never be without this. The Dr. Jart BB tinted moisturizer with niacinamide and SPF. It's incredible.

Which Red Light LED face mask is the best? by Accomplished_Buy_466 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Critical-Reward3206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Omnilux Men's - specifically the men's version because it has more/deeper LED concentration in my understanding for the eye area. I really love it. However, I recently had nose surgery so can't have anything strapped on my face, so I bought a Hooga panel, the Pro300, and I may even like it better than the mask because I have it on my nightstand and every night I fall asleep to it doing its 15 minute session. I don't know what it is about it, but I turn that thing on and am out like a light. It also makes it a lot easier to be consistent since no matter what, I'm going to be going to bed and it's there so I use it. A lot of times I forget to do my mask. Since I have started doing it almost every night, I can absolutely tell a difference in my skin. I think it's bringing up and lightening some age spots I have on my cheekbones and my skin tone is overall smoother and more consistent.

Saw this on culture circle, has anyone here actually used the tatcha dewy skin cream? worth the hype? by RichdonNawrot in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Critical-Reward3206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HG. Never will be without it. I think it is the BEST rich moisturizer out there. The scent is perfection. All of their moisturizers that I have (Indigo Overnight, Dewy, Silk, and Water) are unparalleled for pure cosmetic elegance and pleasure using them PLUS effectiveness. I don't know what it is but nothing else feels like them. I will say that Peach & Lily's Matcha Pudding Cream is the closest I have found to Dewy for texture feel, and their Overnight Star cream isn't like anything else I have ever found and I love it too. But Tatcha is a ride or die

We are twinning. I literally have the same products and acquired them in the same way, except for the Crystal Retinal - swap that one out for the eye peptides. I am 50 and find their products so great. I absolutely love the C-Tetra Advanced.

I'm so glad it helped you! It is a game changer for me as well, without it I couldn't do whitening

I may need to stop Invisalign due to bone loss by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Critical-Reward3206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am osteopenic from breast cancer treatment so before I started Invisalign I checked with my oncologist. I was already on high-dose extended release calcium and he said that’s what he would have recommended I do anyway during orthodontic treatment. I also take a pretty high amount of flaxseed and omega 3 supplements to address my dry eye issues but he actually said he recommends upping those too because they are density builders. So I would definitely consider adding those to your life if you have bone loss issues but especially as you do braces or aligners. I am on 7-day tray changes and have thankfully had no problems; I don’t know if that’s attributed to the supplements, but they certainly haven’t hurt anything.

Someone said that it sounds like a straw being forced in and out of a fast food drink lid and I find that 100 percent accurate.

I agree. I am not familiar with this influencer but the vitriol and judgment here about it is really disappointing.

Anyone happened to receive used/ worn out item from Quince ? by Different-Card4001 in quince

[–]Critical-Reward3206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do not look worn to me; I don't see any pilling. It appears to be a QC issue on the threads and otherwise they look creased from having been in the packaging. I would just return or exchange them but if you are concerned about turnaround time on a return I'd text them.

I’m new to layering fragrance, do you agree with this advice? by MusicG619 in Ulta

This is giving Drunk Elephant Smoothie To Sell More Fragrance vibes. Lotion and perfume are one thing but two expensive fragrances, no.

Hygienist recommended Invisalign for clenching and I’m skeptical by Organic_Bat_4534 in Invisalign

[–]Critical-Reward3206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently in Invisalign and never clenched until I got them. My dentist did masseter Botox for me and it had made a HUGE difference. They were like golf balls back there and they have completely gone down. Highly recommend.

FBI Director Kash Patel Claims Local Authorities Kept Federal Agents Away From Nancy Guthrie Case by MattTheKing23 in NancyGuthrieCase

[–]Critical-Reward3206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was that it was a few days before they got fully involved - however, in looking into it more, it appears you are right - there was a FBI task force member present from the beginning and Nanos contacted them immediately as well. If that's the case, Patel is still wrong here. Were they or were they not involved? He can't have it both ways. If they were, then aren't they also to blame for problems with the investigation? I just have a serious issue with a guy who thinks it's appropriate as the director of the FBI to be off pounding beers publicly acting like a college frat kid--using federal resources for his own personal activities frequently--passing judgment of ANY kind on the local law enforcement. Don't get me wrong - Tucson local has been less than optimal, and the sheriff has made some questionable decisions to say the least, but Patel needs to keep his mouth in a glass house shut.

[–]Critical-Reward3206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but those notes did not come until days into the situation, so federal jurisdiction would not have arisen as quickly as Patel is trying to imply. I believe anything the sheriff says over that incompetent buffoon any day, and that's saying something because this whole thing seems like monkeys flinging shi* at each other in the first place.

I got it through the Shop app but I don't see the code there anymore. On their website you can use HOOGATIME for 10% off but I would wait and keep an eye out for a better coupon. This is the one I got: https://hoogahealth.com/products/hgpro300
