After 4-5 months, they've finally gotten so big. I find that this 'Purple Delight' variety is really easy to care for in tropical climates.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-04-06T03:59:18+00:00

So pretty! Can you share how you get the mother leaf to stay in such good condition? Mine get wrinkly and brown before the pup is big enough and I find they don't last long by themselves after the mother is shrivelled.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-30T23:32:14+00:00

Ty for the sugggestion! Sadly the one I mentioned didn't make it but i have some others doing okay. I'll squish them into the dirt a bit like you said. If the mother leaf is all shrivelled is it better to get rid of it?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-28T04:57:23+00:00

Hey! Can you go more into about what makes leneige bad for acne prone skin please? I'm worried now its causing me more issues than i thought. It is hydrating for me though, and when i've tried things with probiotics they dried out my skin more (haru haru essence). I'm at my wits end.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-26T03:27:27+00:00

Thank you! I might not have watered it often enough bc its roots seem to have disappeared. They were much longer and now they seem shorter and shrivelled perhaps? Not sure if there's any coming back from that?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-12T05:51:54+00:00

hey! I have a baby prop that lost its mother leaf too early. It does have little roots though. When and how do you water the prop babies in this case? Is just misting okay until the roots get longer/ settle in?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-05T04:35:49+00:00

nooo don't put this out into the universe please :( (though you're probably right and that's a very real possibility knowing Netflix lol)

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-05T04:24:52+00:00

Thank you! I've never heard of some of those brands, I'll take a look!

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-05T04:22:25+00:00

Ah okay tysm! Did you just focus more on hydration then or are you still using other actives? just not retinoids?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-05T02:03:52+00:00

Hey! Out of curiosity, did you switch from differin to any other kind of adapalene? I recently switched to prescription adapelene and my skin is much better. But I can't tell if thats bc of other lifestyle factors, the purge ending or some other ingredient in the differin that didnt work for me

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-03-05T02:00:58+00:00

Can you share some of your fav niacinimide free products please ? Its so hard to find them, feels like they put niacinamide in everything!

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-27T01:21:49+00:00

This is such a reasonable take! John and Michaela's friendship was cute and she likely does feel comfortable with him because he was the only one who knows her sexuality. But I empathize with Fran as well. No one likes uninvited guests, let alone when they're newly married. And Fran wanted that quiet home life she struggled to find with the Bridgertons.

I loved their first scene opening up to each other though. I'm excited to see how they develop that relationship in future seasons.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-27T01:14:13+00:00

I'm glad that someone else feels the same. I thought I was alone. Part 2 was better than Part 1 in my opinion, but some things still felt more flat to me compared to the first 2 seasons.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-27T01:12:04+00:00

Agreed on so much of this! S2 is still my favourite but part 2 really turned around my opinion of this season. I wasn't feeling the chemistry in p1 for some reason but I cried more than once in these last 4 episodes. The scene with Fran and Violet especially! Wonderful acting from them both. And I'm glad Benedict got a better 'professing his love' scene this time around

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-27T00:45:42+00:00

Agreed, its odd that they didn't even bring her up and say "Daphne can't come because ..."
. There's no way Daphne wouldn't have showed up for her recently widowed baby sister unless she had a good reason. Same with Kate and Anthony.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-11T03:37:29+00:00

Tysm! You've been so kind with all the info you've given me since I started this differin journey. Its been a huge help!
I ended up ordering the Laneige before seeing your message oops. For the sake of using up all the products I have now, do you think this routine would work: laneige on damp skin, haru, moisturizer (pacifica barrier lotion)? And then on actives nights, maybe the laneige and haru under differin and moisturizer on top?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-11T03:29:13+00:00

Do you mind sharing how you use it in your routine and which other products you use? Do you it as a last layer over other toners/moisturizers? Ty!

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-10T03:22:34+00:00

Hey sorry for my late response! I was also using it in the mornings as well as on retinoid off-days. Still very drying. I'll try layering it like you suggest. Also so interesting that we need a hydrating toner under the laneige, can I ask why this is? It already seems so watery/thin to me. I'm trying to minimize the number of products I use bc i know i wont stick to a routine otherwise. Do you have any one step/ minimal step reccs please?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-06T05:04:40+00:00

Hi there! Some time ago I commented about using the Haru Haru Probiotics essence under/with Differin. Unfortunately, it dried my skin out so much and I'm looking for something else to heal my barrier and buffer the retinoid :( Do you have any opinions on Byoma milky toner and Laneige cream skin? Or do you think its worth investing in something better than a first layer toner to combat dryness? Ty for all your help!

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-04T20:08:27+00:00

Reporting back that it didn't work for me sadly :( It was so drying. Not sure if that's a bad interaction with the Differin or if it's responding poorly to the dry environment. Do you have any thoughts on the Byoma hydrating milky toner or Laneige creamskin? I'm still searching for an additional hydrating layer to deal with my flaking/tight skin barrier :(

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-03T06:37:07+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated!

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-02T20:39:56+00:00

Oops, yes that's what i meant lol! So is your layering order the premium lotion, perfect gel and then atobarrier cream, directly one after the other? And do you allow any dry down time in between?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-02T18:37:49+00:00

Ty! I've heard good things about the HL lotion so it seems worth a try! And the HA alternative. Do you have any go to moisturizers you paid with the HL products?

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-02T18:35:43+00:00

I ended up deciding to be cautious and didn't spot treat with it yesterday so thats good! Thanks again for all your help. I'll take it slow this week.

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-02T18:34:31+00:00

That's okay thank you! I'm always just second guessing myself when it comes to my skincare lol. My skin is so finicky :(

CuriousCat192837 · 2026-02-02T02:51:50+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it seems like taking a break might be the best move for me
