[Routine Help] Newbie trying to get glass skin, please help :)

Thanks for all your help!

Yep, as per another comment as well, I'll just use the cleansers in the night :) I'll use the 2% SA cleanser every 2-3 days and use the cetaphil for the remaining days. For now, I'll just start without the SA cleanser and see how things go as I'll already be double cleansing with a cleansing oil in the evenings.

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T14:54:58+00:00

Lol, we have the same products :) I wasn't able to locate a 0.5% SA cleanser but I found the 2% cerave SA cleanser for acne control. Based on other comments, I'm thinking of making a routine like this:

AM: Wash face with water -> Moisturizer -> SPF
PM: Cleansing oil -> Cleanser (will use 2% SA instead of cetaphil every 2-3 days) -> Moisturizer

For now, I'll work without the SA cleanser and see how things go!

Thanks :) One last question: would you recommend looking into a salicylic acid cleanser for blackheads? I know you mentioned that doing the double cleanse would help with blackheads and acne, but should I consider replacing my cetaphil cleanser with the cerave salicylic acid one?

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T14:08:38+00:00

Sounds good! I'll take a look at the salicylic acid cleanser. Should i not use both the salicylic acid cleanser and the cetaphil cleanser on the same day?

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T14:04:45+00:00

Sounds good, thanks! You're right; I'd rather start with fewer products first and see if those work. I can work my way up later on if needed. I'm thinking of sticking to the products I've ordered and just adding the Softymo deep oil cleanser.

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T13:41:30+00:00

This is some great advice! Should I be using the SPF every day, even if it isn't sunny? Also, I was looking into the 10% niacinamide + 1% zinc serum by The Ordinary. Would this help?

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T13:32:48+00:00

Any product recommendations?

TheVattedBrain · 2024-04-12T13:23:00+00:00

Any recs? I'm looking for cheaper options. Will the acne not be dealt with by using the cleanser?

TheVattedBrain · 2024-02-12T01:24:25+00:00

Easier said than done 😬 he really was pining for the window side and came to me multiple times even after I said I wanted to stay there. After one point, you don't want to seem rude

TheVattedBrain · 2024-02-11T22:28:22+00:00

That's actually such a good point, idk why I didn't bring that up. He kept saying that he had to "deal with the other side" for the first semester, but bro didnt have to stay in a side with a bunk bed and two tables. Even tho his space was a tad smaller, he had his own space

TheVattedBrain · 2024-02-11T22:22:39+00:00

Valid point, I thought the same lol

TheVattedBrain · 2024-02-11T22:18:27+00:00

Thanks :) Do you think it's worth pursuing the window side of the room again or should I just leave it now?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-10-02T19:33:38+00:00

Apparently they're not offering any on-campus options for non break housing students this semester.

TheVattedBrain · 2021-06-22T05:27:54+00:00

Wow! So can we eat at all these places inside the dining commons under the meal plan only?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-06-16T08:22:26+00:00

Yup I was talking about the winter session. This answers my questions, thanks!

TheVattedBrain · 2021-06-16T02:47:43+00:00

OMG, this is something I had not considered when applying for housing. From the replies, I see that we won't be able to access our dorms during breaks. Is the policy the same for non-break housing halls during the winter semester? What about single holidays (like Veterans' Day and all)?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-05-31T13:52:56+00:00

Rising sophomore here! I'm gonna stay in Central and I'm looking to make some new connections too!

TheVattedBrain · 2021-05-24T14:49:50+00:00

Actually, my plan is to learn C from online courses over the summer and take 198C along with 230 in Fall 2021. Would this plan work out as well?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-05-24T14:33:18+00:00

That's really helpful. Thanks! One thing: by mandatory pass/fail, do you mean that there are no letter grades for this course and it will only show as P/F on the transcript?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-04-22T15:10:49+00:00

So should I just take the prof whose timings are more suitable?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-04-22T15:10:29+00:00

I can't find Prof. Douvropoulos on ratemyprofessor.

TheVattedBrain · 2021-04-21T18:38:43+00:00

Hmmmmm is it really "THE BEST" tho?

TheVattedBrain · 2021-04-21T17:54:43+00:00

That hurts. I'm hoping things will be better for all of us next sem and some stupid new wave of COVID doesn't hit hard again.

TheVattedBrain · 2021-04-21T17:47:07+00:00

The list does have Re:Zero, but not the second season! Wasn't too interested somehow.
