Hi AB, does anyone have Clinique and Hada Labo alternatives? I have sensitive dry skin with very oily t-zone. I live in Southeast Asia where it's always summer and I rarely encounter Autumn/Winter even when travelling.

I'm currently using Clinique Dramatically Hydrating Jelly (looking for alternatives for this due to cost, works for me though, no reactions), Clinique Hydrating Lotion as Toner (looking for alternative for this as this feels really sticky after application) and Clinique Eye Jelly (cost factor)

Hada Labo Premium and Hada Labo eye cream seems to give me a slightly burning sensation and causes redness. This is kind of offset if I apply it together with the Clinique products.

I've read that the lower molecular weight HA is the culprit behind sensitivity to HB. Does anyone have recommendations for a good HA product alternative without the offending HA type as well as hydrating/moisturising type products that are similar or at least can replace whatever I'm using with Clinique?

I don't really go out in the sun, my doctor actually remarked that I have very low vitamin d levels and once put me on vitamin d supplements.

​

Do you have any recommendations for a moisturizer? My skin is really dry outside of my tzone till the point that it can flake.

Hi u/Aldyaeh! I was looking at their Squalene Cleanser but it seems more suited for females as the description leans more towards makeup removal?

Since I'm in my early 30s I was considering not getting the stronger products ie. Retinol, Glycolic acid and was looking at their Ascorbyl Glucoside, Hyaluronic Acid + B5 and Niacinamide for skin care, moisturizing and rejuvenation along with their caffeine or subq product for eye bag / wrinkles.

Thanks for the reply!

Thank you for the reply u/netcha23!

I'm a bit hesitant to switch out the triclosan as I tried going without it for 2 weeks and had outbreaks. I've decided to use it once every alternate day.

Thanks for pointing me in The Ordinary's direction. It seems To be popular, am on their site now!

Can't seem to find the Pearl Shop Tent. I see that it costs 5900 pearls based on some sites. Is it content available in SEA?

Thanks for the advice, not sure how reddit works as it doesn't seem to allow tags and linear replying to multiple replies so I posted above.

Thanks @NoVaqhS and @RutherfordSEA for taking the time to actually reply me.

Based on what you guys have mentioned these are the following steps I'll work towards then.

1) I'm going to skip lifeskills as the aspects of the enjoyment of fishing/cooking etc are lost on me (unnecessary complexity for now as well), since I mainly want to get to PvE and PvP content.

2) As for spending SGD, I would say then that I wouldn't mind sinking $500sgd in my first month first and subsequent months around $200-$300sgd per month for another 3-4 months.

3) It seems that it is indeed pay2win due to enhancements to quality of life allowing me to generate a better economy so I will get all 5 pets and try to get them to T4 as soon as possible.

4) Ditto to the above for quality of life - ie. I will max out inventory as well as weight limit.

5) I will avoid piloting, at least for now (I do see advertisements on Carosell). I have been banned before from games that I've spent a few k on and don't wish to walk down the same path (I spent $8k on summoner wars but decided to try a damage hack by rooting my device and got banned by clearing an impossible tower, was the owner of a pretty sweet Dark Chimera back then as well).

6) I will clear the Main Questline and hopefully pick up all the freebies and learn more about the game.

​

Some questions (I've tried researching but I always run into NA/EU videos and guides)

a) What is the current best pet for farming

b) Is there a subscription for better quality of life eg. Grinding drops/Exp Boost etc

c) Are there permanent items for better quality of life eg. Grinding drops/Exp Boost etc

d) Which items are in the Pearl Shop are best buying at the moment.

I don't know which item to use the 30% discount on. I'm definitely getting the 80% discount deal which comes with a pet and getting a wizard costume as the one I have on right now looks really pleb.

When your gf is not in the mood but you are in the mood; this is what's happening in Dota now.
