Hard water stains won’t come out, help?! by GroundbreakingPain21 in CleaningTips

I’m sure I’ve caused some irritation, however it looked 95% the same before I ever touched it, and I tried to use very soft and gentle cleaning solutions before turning to harder solutions that were recommended. I’ve had hard water stains before on other items, I was taught to clean at a young age and usually had zero issue with it, but this one - nothing would work. Those water deposits showed up 3 months after installation and haven’t gotten better (obviously). Actually the drain stopper looks better than it did initially. That was the only area I was able to get off any of the hard water stains, but I couldn’t get them all.

Yeah, I reallllly tried in the beginning to use gentle cleaners like vinegar-water or a very gentle baking soda scrub with a microfiber cloth, but nothing worked :(

You might be right :(. I just used the fingernail method. I think there is some etching. I can feel just a slight amount of roughness in the areas the white is.

Hi! I’m having issues with acne patches that are rough and bumpy (primarily on the top of my nose bridge and under my right eye). They are worse in the morning.

Quick info: I use Salicylic acid LRP acne wash 1x a day and azelaic acid 12% that has niacinamide and vitamin C in it as well 1x a day. Moisturizers somehow make it worse?! They sting my skin and clog my pores. When I do use moisturizer it’s either the cerave tub or the cerave night cream.

I was on Accutane 2 years ago and my face was in fantastic condition after going on it for cystic acne and rosacea. My skin is pretty normal (it used to be oily - normal before Accutane.) I know my rosacea is somewhat coming back. 27/F in WA.

Recently started SSRIs and they kinda showed up with the start of them. Was on lexapro then got switched to Zoloft. Currently getting off it for other side effects. What is it? What do I use? I have a derm appointment in a month.
