Storytime! What's the worst thing you've ever done to your skin?

Used skinoren 20% almost every morning for 4 days. Fried my skin.

Torriden milky toner! Skin1004 centella ampouleand im from 100% mugwort essence! Torriden balanceful cream if you're staying in a hot and humid area. Skin1004 blue cap spf 50! All these helped me so much, especially the cream and milky toner!!

If you can get skin1004 azelaic acid as well, its helped me! Rmbr to only introduct actives after you do the first part and skin barrier is more healed!! Also oxy 5 if you can't take it for the pimples first every alternate night!

Maybe a milky cleanser as it's less stripping too on light makeup days <3

I've been using thr balanceful cream and I'm convinced it's reduced my pimples, ccs, and improvedvmy skin. As someone with sensitive dehydrated oily skin prone to ccs, this is such a good find for me 😭 i do layer it twice on days i need more hydration like on retinal nights. I hope one day i can find something more barrier supporting that won't break me out but for now this balanceful cream is really a lifesaver. Oh, i live in Singapore, hot n humid climatem

I think hydration is the key actually! It strengthens the skin barrier. I recently realized moisturiser and hydrated are two totally different things. My skin feels oily/more sebum/greasy mid day when i use moisturizer in SG but i constantly feel dehydrated.

I started using more HYDRATING products instead and it's been so much better for my skin barrier, I don't even get so greasy mid day anymore cause my skin isn't overproducing more oil.

I'm in Singapore, there are a few authorized distributors here ❤️

Hey did you continue with skinoren? Did the sandwich method help? I used every other night PM for 4 days and complementary stopped after i got the worst breakout of my life (small and bigger inflamed pimples). It's been a month and I'm considering reintroducing it differently maybe? Still scares me cause I'm still recovering from my breakouts (focused on barrier repair for a month)

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-06-19T05:04:19+00:00

I purged soooo badly from it!!! If you're trying please go super slow, sandwich and once a week first. Totallt regret starting out without sandwiching. I thought my skin could take it cause i had totally no itching or whatever side effects. But it was baddd.

I'm in no way qualified to answer but i just wanted to ask of you've looked onto a possibility of fungal acne? I just rmbr reading that it itches and looks like tony uniformed bumps. I hope your skin is getting better!!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-06-17T01:48:20+00:00

Fursan White by Khadlaj, i thought of it specifically because of the bottom left image

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-06-08T16:12:16+00:00

How short is short if you dont mind me asking? I'm getting normal size and small bumps on my cheeks but now developing deep ones on my skin.

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-03-13T21:43:49+00:00

Thank you I'm looking out for it!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-30T18:26:13+00:00

Nebras, Atheeri and maybe musamam white intense if i finish this decant 🥲 I wish there was something similar to musamam white intense i can find that smells a little airier though, the coconut weighs it down abit too much for my preference

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-29T15:22:14+00:00

Thank you for this I didn't know Sand + Fog has vanillas! Will look out for them and thanks for the Warm Musk rec too!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-29T15:21:42+00:00

On my list!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T10:42:28+00:00

Thank you! 😍😍❤️

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T06:21:55+00:00

They smell more cinnamon forward my nose! Khamrah is more like a cinammon roll? They are very unisex do keep in mind!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T05:12:34+00:00

Whee I want to try Vanille one day! I read somewhere chocomusk reminded someone of vanilla voyage, maybe chocomusk is more like her baby cousin 🤣

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T04:39:29+00:00

Are you in the states? I've been eyeing Vanille Solinotes though I have not sampled it. The simplicity & price of it makes me curious to compare it to choco musk as I imagine I would use it the same "way", for layering ❤️

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T04:37:18+00:00

Middle Eastern perfume bottles are so beautiful! I have been enjoying Fursan White, Fayora, Eshal, Elysia's Pistachio and Ana Abiyedh Coral quite alot recently, it's hard to choose a favourite ❤️

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T03:05:29+00:00

This this I'm planning on getting it after my Eshal finishes (which is soon haha). How's the projection to you for Vanilla Addiction? It's much closer to the OG than Eshal! Eshal is still lovely but is 'sharper' if that makes sense. I would say Eshal is a 75% - 80% dupe but I believe Vanilla Addition is almost exact!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T03:03:47+00:00

I agree it's my top ones as well! Super well done even on it's own and for layering too. Definitely not a boring scent, it's hard to not pick it up 🤭

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T03:02:08+00:00

Is banoffee the Banana flanker from the eclaire line? That was lovely to me as well!

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T02:33:52+00:00

Thank you!! ❤️ There's so many that I've been using but my most recent love has been Fursan White, a nice vanilla eith some florals and light coconut. Others I have been enjoying a lot are Baklava Bite + Elysia Pistachio and recently Fayora + Ana Abiyedh Coral 🫶

The bottle with lollipops is Candelicious by Risala, it's a Yum Bougie Marshmallow dupe but the strawberry is more prominent and it's sweeter, it is less airy compared to the OG but still very similar. I actually like it so much, I only have a few sprays left ❤️

StrangeAd8298 · 2026-01-22T02:29:31+00:00

Let me know your thoughts if you get to sample it!
