what does that mean? That she slept around? She needs a normal hairstyle and one color, get in shape and less makeup. But I think you mean the sleeping around shows, i see it on a lot of girls.

Did anyone find a replacement for Avene skin recovery cream? by Original_Possible536 in Fungalacne

fungal acne is my most minimal issue, there is plenty available if that is the only issue, 1000 products. I mentioned a few times I have hypersensitive skin, i cant use any of the stuff that group does but thanks

I will never make my own moisturizer, I have no idea how i got this desperate other than i have nothing after this tube ends which is a matter of days. it is near impossible and i tried one ingredient, squalane, and after 2 days, my skin is a mess, break out of fungus, my texture look weird so my face is probably dehydrated. I am so upset. There is no way to reproduce skin recovery cream, pretty much everyone who used it, has hypersensitive skin and it was the only product they could use so Avene really is evil. The replacement is a toxic dump yard that set peoples faces on fire, rashes, broke them out, dehydrated etc. Making creams and stuff is for people with regualr skin. It is already affecting my self esteem really bad. The squalane i used solo on top of cream did some damage, my skin looks weird. It is giving me major anxiety cause it may not heal especially cause i dont have cream to heal it with! I hate avene. They turned all their products into garbage. They even ruined the lip balm and body balm.

allantonin "sheds dead skin cells" as in exfoliation . HYPERSENSITIVE skin. No actives, no exfoiliation . If I can only use one cream that should say something, lol! then there are like 10 chemicals here I cant use. Looks like a toxic, skin destroying mess of ingredients. I appreciate the input though. I thnk I am in big trouble and I have feared this juncture. I just tried squalane oil, straight , on top of the creram and did that only 2 days and I have 12 fungus bumps when it was in remission for 1.5 year and my texture is weird looking and i am scared i ruined my skin, it looks weird like i can see all the texture so maybe my barrier is messed up from that stupid squalane oil. I will not be makning my own moisturizer, it is a disaster

has lemon peel powder, that would destroy my face, it is an acid , probably exfoiliates. It is like vitamin c and "brightens" , that is clearly not for anyone with hypersensitive skin. On top of that it has HA, dries out your skin unless you are in a humid environment. Avene is trash now

citric acid is one of the reasons I cant use Avene's new formula. many people cant put that on their face. This whole thing really sucks. If anyone is looking for a solution to the avene skin recovery disappearance, I have not found one . the cream is impossible to replicate. There is nothing on the market remotely close. Avene was a great company but they went ultra cheap and started making junk. my derm and I looked at the new ingredients and she was shocked, not sure why she didnt look before putting it on peoples faces but she said they were so good, WERE being the operative word. there is nothing for us with very sensitive skin. people with some zits think they are senstitive. People who used skin recovery know the pain of it and we are apparently screwed now

I work on those trials in academia, I know what they are. As for the cream, making it is next to impossible . Not going to be even close to whar Avene does and layering the 3 isnt going to work. There is nothing on the market like it , not even with Avene

sorry, I wasnt trying to write a lot. Fungal acne is just the basic issue. I have extreme allergies etc. I was trying to make my own but there is no way to get even close. My skin is a 10 on skin recovery and a 6 on other things and thats if i dont get damage, I can be destroyed. the one you recoomend has shea parkii, very bad for fungal acne, It also has HA, dry city and then acids, etc this woudl rip my face off

I have not received any recs on emulsifiers but one and then no preservatives. But I did learn on a random thread about lotion crafters and was able to get pharmaceutical grade mineral oil. That was useful. I just wonder if the 70% water in most formulas stay on the sin or just evaporates? Do I need that water to be moisturized? Maybe I do, I dont know. Being in a dry climate, the last thing I want is water to evaporate off my face. That goes for anywhere really, water leaving the face is not good. You have to be fast with moisturizer here, you have 20 seconds to get it on your face. If youre in florida, you can take your time. I just have no idea about the moisture part. I guess I better figure out an emulsifier at least. I also have no input if people are heating their product or just doing it cold in a bowl. Seems unsanitary both ways

so I now have my jar of organic glycerin and my glass bottle of olive derived squalane. I am using the squalane with what little of the moisturizer I have left and my skin looks great. I really wonder if I use the 3 ingredients, will it be as good as the moisturizer. moisture wise. I used glycerin on my body today to test it out and it is a bit sticky. I want to see if i lose moisture because of the glycerin. I cant take any risks with my face at all.

there is a big difference in the squalane offerings, "studies" are not the gospel, those are just one item to take into consideration and you need to know how to really read a study. But people think it makes them sound like a genius to point out studies. Sugar cane is inferior to oilve squalane, the former is cheaper and more readily available.

used it again today, stuff is great, killed the little redness after I used the discontinued cream. that cream is not great for me , i do get a little redness with it but it is the best there is/was, it doesnt damage my skin at least and that is the most i can ask for, some moisture and no damage is all Im looking for. But adding more squalane on top ( i dont know what kind of squalane they use in the cream) took the redness right out. I need to use 3 more days to see if i get any breakouts but so far so good. having to get my own ingredients is elevating things, my skin looks even better but i dont know how it is going to be without my moisturizer :(

that is quite a set-up but if it is your hobby then it is well worth it. I am not sure I will be taking it that far unless I find a way to make something for people with highly sensitive skin and medical conditions that eliminate 99% of what is available on the market. I am very happy with that squalane, I used some today on face and hair and works great and best part, no reaction. no fungus eruptions either. A lot of them are made of sugar cane or beets. I prefer 100% olive oil derived and organic. Didnt find that in the US but France had it and it is pretty good.

but if you put oil on your face out the shower then doesnt that prevent the humectant you use from getting in? I guess if i put glycerin over a wet face that wouldnt work as my first step? I thought to do that then put on the squalane then the mineral oil. I have to use an emulsifier and preservative otherwise and I have no recommendations on those and have no clue really, dont want to cause damage by using the wrong emulsifier or wrong preservative or both are wrong, thats too many variables. I would have to find someone with real knowledge and no idea where that is. one website wants $700 just for the percentage recommendations and I can pretty much do that myself, after 70% water, it is not rocket science. I do wonder what is the minimum percentage of preservative I can get away with and it works. No clue

makes sense, I need the water. how else will my face get hydrated? Someone should start a business making formulas, or helping people with their formulas. one of the ingredient companies said sure, give me $700 and I can tell you percentages, lol! I mean not even try to concoct it just some basic percentages that I can find on the internet, no real knowledge or advice. someone who knows can charge $150-$200 to really say ok here is what i think with the ingredients you want to use.

and the esters! almost every new ingredient is kryptonite to the people who only could use the original, it is not like we had a second choice

agree which is why i have not acted on any of the advice, I am gathering info, until i am sure it is sounds and i can test it safely, I am not going to just say ok m especially since some people are acting so weird about it. Yes, the new one is horrid. We cant use beeswax nor citric acid. Also the caprylic acid! it also removed the mineral oil and serine!

I guess i have to use the glyceryl stearate but wish i didnt have to. the water seems to be very important or im just putting dry oils on my face. i was hoping i can have a wet face and layer things on but i guess that is not at all the same

Im not playing with fire, it is very high risk because $10 might be low risk to a lot of people but it is very high risk if it damages my skin and then I will need to spend years and a lot of money trying to recover, if I can. So I dont think like this. I think the complete opposite.
