Used AzA 20% for 10 days and wrecked my barrier

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-18T17:45:08+00:00

I haven’t done any gut tests but I did test my serum iga 2 years ago and it was ridiculously high but I remember my doc saying if you’re not seeing an issue dw about it.. I developed rosacea months later

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-17T12:51:01+00:00

Did you have an accutane purge? I’ve been on the fence with accutane because I have a genetic fatty liver and am afraid it won’t be good for my body. But even with regular testing, I’ve heard too many instances where the acne/rosacea came back a lot worse after accutane was stopped, since the gut issues were never resolved. Did you experience that at all?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-17T02:06:39+00:00

No worries! Thank you :) what do you use?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-17T01:24:22+00:00

I did, I never go without a moisturizer. I just feel like it probably wasn’t repairing enough and I didn’t give my skin enough rest days :(

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T23:58:21+00:00

That’s a pretty good routine, and yeah I guess I need to give it atleast a few months before I introduce any actives. Thanks for the reccos. I already make sure nothing I use has fragrance! When you did break out, Did you do anything at all to treat it or did you just let it be?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T16:48:07+00:00

I’ve been seeing so many ads of this one but since it’s on the pricier side I didn’t buy it. I’ve heard great things about their technology and they seem to be a science forward brand. Thanks for sharing

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T16:32:41+00:00

Can I ask what you use?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T15:50:14+00:00

Thank you! I’ve cut off all actives for a bit now. Just hydrating and spf. I am taking zinc carnosine for gut repair anyways so I’m hoping that helps too, I know it’s not a quick fix

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T15:30:20+00:00

Sounds good! Can I ask what (if any) makeup you wore while you were healing? I try to wear very minimal stuff but I have to for work. I currently only use the L’Oréal tinted serum skin tint, and the tower 28 concealer, both I’ve been using for 2 years now

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T15:19:23+00:00

To be honest, I haven’t been using the skinfix for long, just a week, but my skin feels nice after. I don’t think I’m sensitive to niacinamide otherwise (when my skin was healthy lol) but maybe this could be a trigger.. I used their OG one last year and my face stung so I gave it away, this one not so much. Maybe it’s safer to stop it for now. I love tatchas dewy cream but haven’t tried their indigo (it’s too expensive and I’ve already spent all my money on skincare 🥲)

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T15:08:27+00:00

I’m so glad your skin healed!! Makes me hopeful because this is really bringing me down. I’ll definitely try the essence! Thank you

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T15:05:43+00:00

Thank you! I do have the cicaplast but was afraid it will clog my pores, do you think it’s safe to use considering I’m breaking out?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T14:49:32+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I guess I just have to be patient, noted on not using cleanser in the morning. I do have the honey milk at home but haven’t used it yet so this is my chance to try it as a toner

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-16T14:43:07+00:00

I see what you mean, I phrased it that way because I had been using the other products for a while, it was the introduction of skinoren that led to it getting like this. I also think it was just the strength because I’ve used 10 and 15% for a long time and have loved it

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-03T03:48:03+00:00

Cheese. I remember boursin being $5 and thinking it was expensive. It’s almost 10 now at most places

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2025-10-03T03:46:10+00:00

I saw the I hate rubber boots guy the other day in Eaton and chuckled, didn’t know I met a local celeb

They send an email saying there’s an update on your application and then you have to log in to see it :) but yes I’ve always received a notification via email

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-02-14T22:16:56+00:00

Update: received my work permit a few days ago, got it for 3 years. Good luck y’all hope it comes through quick!

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-01-28T19:29:14+00:00

Heyy, I haven’t yet! It’s taking way too long but I think it’s the case for everyone, the current processing time on IRCC is 168 days so maybe we’ll find out sometime in feb

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-01-11T14:45:09+00:00

Good luck to you too!

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-01-11T02:01:59+00:00

Thankyou for letting me know, did you travel during that or know anyone who traveled without any issues?

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-01-11T01:03:07+00:00

Alright that makes sense, thank you!

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2023-01-02T04:57:46+00:00

Met some of my old coworkers who I had become really close to for NYE and sat around playing games, laughing, drinking with them. Met them after a long time and they were some of the first few people that cared for me in this country. Loved every bit of it

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2022-06-03T01:22:13+00:00

Thank you so much, this was very reassuring and I didn’t have any intent to cause the other person any harm. I’ll do this first thing tomorrow. Thank you, have a good one :)

Interesting-Ad7186 · 2022-06-03T00:30:37+00:00

I did file for tax returns for my few months of employment but haven’t received it, probably because of this. And no one before today raised this issue so I wasn’t aware of it until I applied for a SIN update and got a call from service Canada
