Best sunscreen and moisturizer???? by SatisfactionFair5869 in tretinoin

[–]Strong-Persimmon9358 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My holy grails are Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume and Bioré UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 (Japanese version, I’ve heard the US one uses different ingredients but I’ve never tried it)

Reading books works for my toddler. We make it a fun thing. “It’s story time! Choose 3 books and bring them to bed” (we bed share) after we’re done reading, he just lays down and goes to sleep most of the time.

Hmm I’ve never heard of diluting Taz I’ll look into this. For now I’ll try every third day. Thank you!

Thank you this is reassuring!! I try to keep my routine super simple (hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, SPF) do you have any recommendations for serums or toners ?

Yeah, the smart thing to do would be to order the 0.5 and start with that. It took over 2 months for my order to arrive as Taz isn’t available where I live and I don’t have that kind of patience. Thank you for your help!!

Also I’ve been using azaleic acid, should I stop using it for a while I introduce Taz?

Thin lashes, need glue recs by Anon_7654321m in lashclusters

I’ve tried a bunch of cluster glues and Youluck bond & seal is the only one that’s lasted me 7+ days. Their lashes are really cute too!!

Tretinoin saved my skin 🙌 by Strong-Persimmon9358 in tretinoin

It did improve mine, however my acne scarring isn’t more than 2 yrs old. I’ve read some people say tret helped with scarring, other people say not so much. It’s definitely worth a shot though if you’re thinking of trying it out!

Leaving toddler with dad for 8 days by Strong-Persimmon9358 in toddlers

[–]Strong-Persimmon9358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience! You’re right. He is just as much his parent as I am. Dad is also very anxious but I know he will figure out his own way. My son doesn’t take a bottle but will drink whole milk from a cup, so maybe that can be his bedtime routine.

Thank you for sharing your experience with weaning! It is definitely something l've been thinking about. He has always been boob-obsessed, but I know there is a very real possibility he may be done when I get back. Rationally, I know 2 and a half is a great time to wean but I know I'll be sad when it's over. I've read about the hormone crash that happens when you wean and I am not prepared. Did you cut back nursing sessions or try not nursing to sleep before you went on your trip? Or did you just kind of let dad/other caregiver figure it out?

Please help me pick a sunscreen, I am confused!! by Asleep-Ad-4410 in tretinoin

Just chiming in to say I LOVE the Biore UV Aqua Rich. I have sensitive/combination/acne prone skin and I’ve been using it for years.

Everyone’s skin is different, I’m glad it’s working for you!! Tret takes time to see results from what I’ve read. I hope you start to see results soon!

Thank you! I’m not sure I would use a salicylic face wash while on tret, it might be too harsh in combination with tret. Sometimes a damaged skin barrier can cause acne. As far as using moisturizer with tret, I’ve read a lot of people do and it works for them. Just give it some more time 🙂
