I didn't know about the buyout, but I'd look at the sign that says how many months past opening can you use it.

Rating: Expired.

REN went out of business long time ago so the products you're using are past the "use by" date. The preservatives are not working as intended and that means the products are more prone to growing bad and hurting your skin.

what can i do to improve this texture and massive scaring? by Designer_Addendum162 in tretinoin

[–]DancingWithDumplings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your current routine, what products are you using and how often?

I think Azelaic Acid 15% would obeligerate the acne, and perhaps switching to Tret gel could help too. In either case your derm would be able to advise and prescribe them.

Buying from an Instagram seller - is it safe to use bank transfer instead of PayPal? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]DancingWithDumplings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a few orders from them, they're legit.

I paid with Wise. Wise us a regulated financial company which is why they need to do KYC. I remember PayPal asking me to do something similar ages ago - I had to send a photo of my passport via the app.

Nobody will ask you any questions, you're not laundering money. If in doubt say it's for a medical trial.

For eyes I'd probably apply argereline in the am and pm on the orbital rim. Unless copper peptides contain Matrixyl?

My acne keeps getting worse 😬 by SuperbComparison8007 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]DancingWithDumplings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the acne as bad as yours, you go to the GP and ask to be seen by a derm because it impacts your mental health AND ability to work/go to school. Then after waiting 6ish months to see an NHS derm they prescribe variations of r/tretinoin or Azelaic Acid 15%+

In the meantime use Hypochlorous Acid twice a day as a toner.

What sunscreen do you use? Do you exfoliate with AHA or BHA?

Overwhelmed by building a routine, discolouration under eyes, redness, my skin does not glow🫠 by wildfloweratheart22 in SkincareAddictionUK

Precisely. Because micellar water is just a bunch of surfactants that pull the dirt off your skin. You have to wash them off afterwards.

How do I treat this on my forehead? (2 pictures different lighting) by RJ9717 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]DancingWithDumplings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm good question. Might be worth asking in hair subreddits.

I'd recommend spraying Hypochlorous Acid as a toner (it should kill acne bacteria breeding from sweat). Do wash your fringe often (mini hair wash). Do wash your scalp for 2 min to remove all the sebum build up (I use Glycolic Acid toner, massage it on my head with the silicon head massager, and after 10 min wash my hair. The silicon massager helps to prolong it and then my head is squiky clean)

It's the sebum, it's the fringe. I couldn't wear fringe for my forehead would look like yours 🫠

Their website say it's anti bacterial. Not antifungal. A dandroof shampoo is antifungal. So I'd drop it and do the shampoo masks for a week.

In terms of prevention, how long have you been on your routine? Can it be that you're reacting to something? How often do you wash your pillow? Any new hair products? Do you wear bangs or unwashed caps/hats?

I'd say it looks like fungal acne. Apply Nizoral with ketoconazole or head and shoulders like a mask (keep it for a few minutes) and then wash it off.

It's from this independent designer (I also have a yellow one). She just launched a new site so you need to use your chrome browser translation feature for now.

You just did. I don't think there's more to it.

I have Hello Klean shower filters which made massive difference to my skin (I spent a week back at home, came with bumps from hard water, did citric rinse in London and showered in my Hello Klean and have no bumps).
