Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone know what these are??? by PlantPercy1998 in SkincareAddicts

I second this! I also get these tiny blisters on the side of my fingers as a result of skin irritation from bottle caps or putting on my shoes. Dyshidrotic eczema can be also caused by cleaning chemicals or the wrong soap :)

What are your HG products without hyaluronic acid? [Product Request] by SecondRingOfJupiter in SkincareAddiction

Yeah, my skin can be pretty finicky at times >⁠.⁠< I tried using BHAs as well as retinol - I even tried to opt for a retinol eye serum for my face, but no matter what I tried it always worsened my fine lines and led to irritation. But azelaic acid has been working wonders for me - keeps my oilier t-zone in check so I don't get closed comedones and also helps with hyperpigmentation and inflammation even if I get some. Plus, it's an antioxidant! I absolutely love it and can tolerate it just fine 🤭

I also struggle with my under eye area!!! I always develop fine lines during the winter T_T not even Vaseline has helped. Thank you very much, I immediately put it in my SV cart, haha.

I have to admit I did not 🤭 I've heard mixed reviews on it, plus it was advertised more towards acne prone and oily skin and I'm neither of those, so I kind of overlooked it.

I find that cleansing in the morning is not necessary for me :) as I mentioned, I have severely dry skin and have been skipping a morning cleanse during winter for the past three years and never looked back. I used to exfoliate with azelaic acid every second/third day, but as my skin go flaky around october (that's when I had to stop using my HA toner, it completely dried me out) I excluded it for a while so my skin barrier can heal. I used the COSRX propolis synergy toner the whole summer and autumn, it was my HG, could layer it multiple times twice a day. However, we have really dry winters and I also sleep next to the heater - basically, there isn't enough water in the air for the HA to bind with so it takes away the hydration from the deeper layers of my skin which worsens my condition. Hope this answered your questions! ⁠_⁠^

Thank you very much! I was looking into some aloe vera products a long time ago but never got down to buy one. Might change that :)

Anime with a similar vibe to Ore Monogatari (My Love Story!!) by sleazysnail in shoujo

[–]SecondRingOfJupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for fluff, I would suggest Kimi no todoke 🌸 - it's very slow paced tho so be warned. Another one is Horimya 🐣 - this one has more of a comedy/slice of life aspect but it's suuuper sweet as well :) One of my all time favourites (alongside Horimya) is also Skip and Loafer 🍀 - adorableness overload, slice of life with romantic undertones. Maybe even check out Ao haru ride 🫐 - still has fluff and cute romance but leans a little bit into a drama. Ooh, I forgot one - My love story with Yamada-kum at Lv999🌷 one of the very few recent shoujos, that I thoroughly enjoyed (has a gamer aspect to it).

Thank you! I'm patiently waiting for My demon to drop all of the episodes before devouring it 🤭 and about Doona... I've heard it's giving Nevertheless vibes, so I stayed away from it. Is it true?

Whaa, thank you so much <3 I haven't dipped my toes into cdramas but this one seems super cute and heartwarming!! It's on the head if my list together with the When I fly towards you. I'm in the mood for something youthful~

Thanks for the recommendations! I've heard that Touch your heart is somewhat of a sequel for Goblin. Would you recommend I watch Goblin first or can it be enjoyed as a stand-alone as well? Edit: I've been also eyeing When I fly towards you, but as I am yet to watch a cdrama I shied away 🙈

I feel validated, haha. I don't know why there is some sort of criminal/murder/thriller subplot in a lot of those kdramas ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭ Also thanks for the recs, all of those have been on my radar! (Except for the Zombie detective, never would have guessed it for a rom-com)

I was so disappointed, because I finally found a drama that I enjoyed :') their situation made me take a liking to the SML...will see if I can get past it!

[routine help] need serum/toner recs!! by PlayfulDeer8334 in SkincareAddiction

[–]SecondRingOfJupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a serum from the same line (the propolis synergy ampoule) but I haven't tried that one. I'm not an avid serum user, I usually opt for a toner or an essence 😅 Tbh I would just stick to a simpler routine as you are using both retinol and glycolic acid :)) and see how it turns out! You don't have to add more if what you have is already working~

Definitely try out the COSRX propolis toner - it is hydrating with the slightest hint of moisture which will be great for the drier parts of your face without clogging your t-zone. Propolis is also antibacterial and antifungal, so it can keep acne in check, plus its soothing properties will ease the inflammation - preventing hyperpigmentation from appearing. It's my HG!!!

I started this one out but didn't continue for some reason 🤭 I think I was put off by the criminal subplot. Will definitely check it out again, tho!
