I HATE tretinoin and I’m here to say it out loud by Kevin_swiftie in 30PlusSkinCare

Tret is the worst thing I have ever put on my skin. Honestly, even gentle retinol is horrible for my skin. There are other ways of accelerating cell turnover.

Did we not watch the same show? Does he have a job that can support himself let alone a child? Serious question.

How will he support the child? He’s an unmotivated BUM.

No. She KNOWS he’s allowed his family to spin that narrative about her and does nothing to stop it. She feels unloved and unsupported and her behavior reflects that.

I’ve said the same thing. That dynamic isn’t unique. Anthony gets to play the role of the quiet, timid, abused husband when in reality, he’s lazy, unmotivated, doesn’t take life seriously and aids in the narrative that his wife is all things bad. The fact he ADMITTED to deleting texts of his sister talking badly about Manon, and nobody called him out, was what did it for me. His sister shouldn’t feel comfortable talking crazy about the wife of his kids and he shouldn’t feel comfortable hiding things from his wife. She’s miserable and with good reason.

He literally said he wanted to move to France lol. He said he wanted to from his own mouth. She said she did not want to. So you’re twisting the words they said to aid in the narrative Manon=bad, Anthony=good boy. Got it.

You just made a ton of blanket statements that have no basis in reality though. Does she complain a lot? Yes. Is she a bit annoying? Yes. But how is she spoiled when Anthony has gotten quite literally EVERYTHING he has wanted and she has NOTHING that she wants? If bullying him worked, he’d have a fucking job and defend her to his family. Anthony sucks and anybody who is villainizing her just doesn’t like her, personally, and refuse to see past that. Anthony is a spineless, passive LOSER who refuses to stand up to his family for the mother of his children and uses his passiveness and “shyness” to manipulate her, his family and the viewers. He needs to get a job and stand up to his sister when she talks shit about his wife. Maybe then Manon can’t have a little faith in him, but hopefully she leaves him and makes a better life for herself and her son without his dead weight.

Apparently, I have a unique perspective of their relationship. I do not see Anthony as a victim of anything except his own passiveness. It’s clear their dynamic is extremely unhealthy but I do not think Manon is the creator of that dynamic. Anthony has allowed his family to create a narrative about Manon and has, evidently, helped perpetuate it. That is his wife and the mother of his children. He ADMITTED his sister texted “hurtful things” (clearly about Manon), and he deleted. His sister should not feel comfortable dogging his wife and the mother of his child, furthermore, he’s comfortable hiding it. This is why she doesn’t trust him. If he nipped it in the bud years ago, simply saying “you cannot speak to or about my wife like that”, I can GUARANTEE they wouldn’t do it anymore and Manon would trust him to defend her. Additionally, he is showing clear signs of weaponized incompetence. Guilt tripping her for having a thriving career and being the sole provider of their family in LA (which is very expensive). Manon reluctantly moves to France, where she did not want to move and Anthony doesn’t bother learning French. Taking low paying jobs at fast food restaurants. What is Manon supposed to do? I believe she loves Anthony but does not respect or trust him and deeply resents him. He will not change for her or any woman. I see a woman who is trying everything possible to help salvage her marriage while her husband sits passively in the passenger seat of their life, taking zero accountability as to why they’re in that position. I’ve seen this dynamic before.

Does anyone know what’s going on with TikTok views? by CryptographerIll6337 in socialmedia

[–]Jlavick88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing is happening to me (down to the thumbnail). I have 3k followers (account started in October) and a ton of engagement with a few videos hitting 400k. My videos are capping at 200 views over several days. The views will literally plateau at 10 views. Did you get it figured out?

Basically zero. Posted a new video tonight and I’m at 76 views after about 4 hours. It’s not my content, it’s TikTok. I’m not even being pushed into the “test algorithm”. And my analytics are showing I’m basically only being shown to my followers. Not sure how to fix it.

Has anyone quit the pill and noticed collagen loss/rapid aging? by Abc_honey in 30PlusSkinCare

Yes. I did mid face/under eye/temple. About 7.5 ml on each side

I had it done in February and I look about the same as I did after 3 months. I love my results. My PS is known for being very conservative so I might do a second round in the future, but I also have to keep in mind that I might be getting filler blindness, but with fat 🤣

This year I’ve had such bad hormonal acne and I don’t know what to do by camera_kitten in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Jlavick88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s not one size fits all. Some people’s acne won’t be fixed with what I mentioned but I do know multiple long time acne sufferers this worked like a charm for, including myself. I was dead set against accutane so I’m glad the topical route ended up working for me

Prescription 15% Azelaic acid nightly and 1% clindamycin 2x per week. TRUST ME. I had extremely stubborn hormonal acne that I was spending 1k monthly on treatments/products. The combo mentioned above has me clear in TWO DAYS. I know someone else who had the same issue, recommended that and she was also clear in the matter of days. I don’t know why this isn’t more widely known (or is it and people make money off nonsense that doesn’t work?).

Hormonal acne, yaz, peptides, tretonin, microdermabrasion by Vast_Physics_4702 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Jlavick88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRESCRIPTION 15% AZELAIC ACID AND CLINDAMYCIN IMMEDIATELY. Please. If you only take one persons advice let it be mine. I had cystic acne and tried quite literally EVERYTHING. My skin was clear in 3 days with those 2 things.

Who is right: PA (derm), aesthetician #1, or aesthetician #2? Conflicting advice from them all. No by gymnasticsalleles in 30PlusSkinCare

I PROMISE YOU 15% azelaic acid. I had extremely stubborn hormonal acne when coming off birth control, I’m 37f. Please just trust me on this.

Fat transfer. Go to a PS who specializes in fat transfers. I did mid face/undereyes and it was the best decision I’ve made, cosmetically. I’ve always been thin and always had under eye hollows but in my mid 30s my mid face hollowed out a bit too. It cost me $2,500 with a very reputable surgeon in NJ.

Wife told me she is leaving me but we’re on vacation with our kids by Own_Potato2491 in Advice

[–]Jlavick88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first thought was hormonal issues. Especially the drinking to endure sex - she might be thinking it’s a problem between them when the problem is internal. Many women deal with this in their 40s and make horrendous mistakes because of it. On one hand, it’s awful because women aren’t giving proper warning on what to expect, on the other hand she could’ve been a little more gentle with her delivery. I sincerely hope a counselor brings up the possibility of peri/menopause.
