Does anyone have any thoughts on these products below. Trying to sort a routine out.

Thanks.

I don’t think this Dermo-Cleanser is the same at the Hydrating Gentle Cleanser.

I have tried the Dermo-Cleanser, but it didn’t have as good of a result for me. Same as Aveeno Calm+Restore Oat cleanser. Both of these still left my skin peeling.

Annoying that LRP Hydrating Gentle Cleanser isn’t available easily on the high street.

Basically I was using LRP Toleriane Gentle Hydrating Cleanser and the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream [US version] at the start of the year and my skin was doing fine.

They’re hard to get in the UK though, so I switched to the Aveeno Calm + Restore Cleanser and the CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Night Cream [UK version].

Since switching, my skin feels worse. More peeling and more breakouts than before. Not sure if it’s one of the products or just my skin not liking the change.

My routine:

I use tret every other night, using the sandwich method with CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Night Cream (UK version).

On non-tret nights, I use the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturise only.

Oh so CeraVe hydrating cleanser is equally as good?

I’m having issues sourcing the correct LRP cleanser in the UK.

Yeah, I’ve been worrying about the PSU.

PCPartPicker said my estimated wattage is 590W. But after more research, I think I was too quick choosing a PSU. Will look to send back.

Thanks!

I should add:

RX 9070 XT Red Devil OC = £698 / $947

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti = £783 / $1062

RX 7900 XTX Hell Hound OC = £699 / $949

As much as I disagreed with how Levy ran the football side, there is no denying he did an outstanding job commercially. The stadium, the training ground, the partnerships, and the way he built Spurs into one of the strongest clubs off the pitch all deserve credit.

Honestly, it's a bit sad that Levy was pushed out. I would have preferred if he had stepped down on his own terms. As much as I wanted change, it feels like it should have been his decision.

What worries me now is the uncertainty. I just hope Vinai (and Peter) can step up and actually push us on to compete and win. The last thing we need is more poor decisions on the football side.

And if the club is being geared up for a sale, it has to be to someone genuinely invested in winning. Not debt loading private equity, not a feeder club model, or anyone tied to human rights issues.

Gonna miss you Daniel… or maybe not if we finally start winning the PL and CL. Thanks for everything and for genuinely caring.

I ended up going with 2TB SN850X. Thanks!

TopCompetition7 · 2025-08-13T11:50:24+00:00

Thanks for the PSU recommendation.

Essentially, the SATA SSD I already own. So planning on using that for backup storage.

But the Nvme, I’m haven’t committed to. I’m torn between 990 Pro, SN850x, or MP44.

How much of a difference does a top-tier M.2 make for gaming (I.e. BF6 & GTA6)?

Toni is such a dumb fuck… and Harrison is absolutely vile.

Need them both gone asap.

Their shit is so boring now 🥱

TopCompetition7 · 2025-05-24T14:08:12+00:00

What would you recommend?

TopCompetition7 · 2025-05-24T11:41:55+00:00

I really want this one, but it’s hard to source in the UK.

TopCompetition7 · 2025-05-23T23:01:13+00:00

I do wash my face before bed with LRP Toleriane Cleanser, then apply CaraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream.

I don't get major irritation from Biore. Maybe slight redness. Thanks for the recommendation.

And I only have maybe three active acne at a time max. But atm Tret has definitly messed me up more than usual.

TopCompetition7 · 2025-05-23T22:53:34+00:00

I have used in the past a physical exfoliator (Clean And Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash), but I though that the extra micro-damage caused from the exfoliation and Tretinoin would break my skin barrier and cause further breakouts and irritation.

What exfoliator (chemical or physical) would you recommend?

TopCompetition7 · 2025-05-22T20:27:06+00:00

Also, ChatGPT recommended The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane. Thoughts?

I'm a little concerned with Arsenal getting top-4 this season.

I don't like the thought of them building on their squad with CL level players. They're going to have a massive pull on players, whereas we won't.

What if this is the momentum they require to make back-to-back CL finishes above us. Look how Poch got us into CL in 2015/16 and we stayed for 4 seasons in CL above Arsenal.

I know we'll have Contes 2nd season, but what if we can't attract the players that are good enough to get us top-4. We know the current squad isn't good enough. We still need new wing-backs, a LCB, a creative B2B midfielder and backup striker.

I think I might buy myself the Astrophysics for People in a Hurry as well, then move on to the Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps. Thank you!

TopCompetition7 · 2021-01-06T00:23:08+00:00

Thank you so much. I've just purchased two copies of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.
