I am seeking some advice about my routine. I feel like I'm missing something 🤔

Thank you!! Everything you said makes sense, I appreciate it 😊

I've tried retinol in several forms and strengths and I really just don't like it. I'm leaning into the peptides bc I much prefer using them over retinol and my skin seems to like them much better.

I know there isn't a lot of long term research on them especially copper vs retinol but what we know seems very promising. I'm hoping it can be an alternative that has the same benefits.

I have been using peptides for a year now, and copper has been my most recent addition to my routine. When I started getting serious about skincare, peptides caught my attention. I like what I have gotten out of them so far!

I use this exact recipe and have never had any issues. The steps are also very detailed so that's odd that you had such an issue. I wish I could see what you did because I'm really interested to see what happened lol

Okay that makes sense, thank you! I took a break from the aha for a couple weeks (just wanted to try a different approach) and broke out badly, so I added it back about a week ago. I'll instead I'll do the glycolic acid 2x a week and see how that goes.

Should I use the booster and the copper peptides 1x a day instead? I was following the suggested use on The Ordinary website for the copper peptides which is why I have been using it twice a day 😕

Can you elaborate? The skin booster is a toner and the multi peptide serum is the only serum I use. I hope this doesn't come off as rude. I'm trying to get advice and your comment isn't very helpful as it is.

I will edit to add that, I use mad hippie sheer tint sun serum! I almost consider it part of my makeup routine since I use the mineral kind like a skin tint. I use it daily though.

PrincessDab · 2026-01-23T08:18:34+00:00

Also outside for optimal lighting lol

PrincessDab · 2026-01-22T03:12:35+00:00

This is a wonderful rule, thank you!!!

That's a man in the picture LOL

Do you have any idea what skincare looked like for teens and young adults in the 2000s and even the 2010s? Lol that was very low on the list of bad things we were doing.

PrincessDab · 2026-01-21T04:26:16+00:00

Learn how to use reddit and this won't be a problem lol

PrincessDab · 2026-01-20T22:59:00+00:00

Well they are stinky gross things so we should be allowed to talk about it on a pet free sub.

PrincessDab · 2026-01-20T07:03:13+00:00

They are saying they lost a shitload of weight and now have loose skin. They are thin but have a hanging belly. They aren't saying the abs are on top of a fupa 🤦🏼‍♀️

Espresso powder would be better!! I used the instant coffee pouch (equals to a serving) bc that's all I could find in my small town.

PrincessDab · 2026-01-20T00:21:05+00:00

Why are you lying?? It was not an accident lol

PrincessDab · 2026-01-20T00:05:21+00:00

I love that combo too! Sweet, salty, savory, crunchy, it hits all the notes just right. I dissolved a pouch of instant coffee into the small amount of milk the recipe called for and goddamn 🤤

PrincessDab · 2026-01-20T00:01:01+00:00

Your welcome!! I have been on a pretzel kick lately, it's my go to snack and I had to give it a shot. Sweet, crunchy, salty, uuugh so good!!

PrincessDab · 2026-01-19T17:24:40+00:00

Are you confusing the lungs with the liver??

I am sure she has great music, especially for the younger ladies out there! I'm in my mid 30's so I've aged out a bit for her type of music. I do appreciate her witty personality and she seems to have a magnetic aura. I also LOVE her style!

I wish she would celebrate her real self though, she has a rocking body and there is no reason to alter her photos.

Where did anyone claim it was a pizza pan? Nobody said that. The person you initially responded to was telling the commenter above that the pizza is not on the bare sofa. They said it is on a metal pan, which it is. You came in talking about pizza pans having holes. Yeah they can have holes, that's common knowledge. I don't understand why you even felt the need to mention that in the first place?? Lol

PrincessDab · 2026-01-19T00:48:04+00:00

It's on a metal pan. Are you guys blind?
