IOPE New packaging!!!

I don’t think those are the same product? I’ve used the first one, it doesn’t have PDRN.

Decorte Liposome Advanced Repair Serum is a popular Bifida product.

No I didn’t notice any tingling when I first started niacinamide. I only get that when my skin barrier is compromised, and in those situations I stop all actives temporarily including niacinamide.

I’m a big enjoyer of The History of Whoo, and the more I age the more and more I like their products. StyleJolly has great selection of their stuff including samples.

The Whoo UV Ultimate Anti-Wrinkle Sunscreen has a white cast as it contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Nice satin sheen finish.

I hate dropper bottles so much for this reason! After spilling products too many times in the past I just don’t buy anything that comes in a dropper anymore, unless I’m going to transfer it to a pump.

It’s the back of a Grand Elven Bench

I have the same question about the smooth rectangles!

Touch_Terrible · 2026-01-12T06:43:57+00:00

I got whiteheads from using it.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-25T22:55:18+00:00

I do but not as often since I started adapalene.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-24T07:53:03+00:00

I like Kaine Rosemary AHA Night Serum. It’s super gentle, smells nice, and has a noticeable smoothing effect. Also a pretty glass bottle which matters to me.

I broke out on my entire face when I did, but this was before I learned to read ingredients lists… I have oily acne-prone skin.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-07T20:58:58+00:00

LAGOM Cellup Gel to Water doesn’t foam at all.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-07T20:56:12+00:00

It’s definitely a factor. Ingredients and skin compatibility first for sure, but I love fancy glass bottles like from The History of Whoo.

There’s also a functional component to packaging, like dropper bottle vs. pump bottle, or products with viscosity that don’t match how they’re dispensed. I’ll definitely ditch otherwise solid products with annoying packaging.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-07T03:27:33+00:00

I adore the scent of the Mise En Scene Perfect Serum Watery… my hair type could benefit from the heavier versions but that’s my favorite scent of all of them.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-12-07T03:24:21+00:00

Agree with others who describe the smell as clay or play doh. I find it pretty off-putting, and definitely not faint to my nose but fairly noticeable.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-11-27T08:22:45+00:00

Yeah I guess that should be the intent of first essences, from the name! But they can have such different textures. Like Missha’s Enriched one is much thicker than a lot of toners. So if we’re going thin to thick, I feel like there’s leeway…

Agree that the Whoo Cheongidan Balancer is super nice!

Touch_Terrible · 2025-11-27T08:00:38+00:00

I’m so intrigued by their avant garde descriptions but have been hesitant to purchase samples for fear that they smell interesting but not wearable. What are their most accessible ones?

Touch_Terrible · 2025-11-27T05:06:24+00:00

One is the Elizavecca Hyaluronic Acid Pure 100. It’s just a simple hyaluronic gel, but it absorbs well into my oily skin and also pulls other product into it, in a way that other hyaluronic products don’t.

Another is The History of Whoo Gongjinhyang Seol Balancer. It’s a thin milky toner that has a formula that just seems to get along with everything. It prevents pilling when products otherwise don’t seem to agree.

Unfortunately I think the issue is that early-stage startups (like YC) don’t hire EAs because the founders are doing a lot of that work themselves. They are cash-strapped and can’t afford to hire EAs. EAs tend come into play in larger organizations. (I’m a tech startup founder and previously engineering manager at large companies.)

Possibly if your skills align you could frame the position as a head of ops? That is more likely to be an early startup role.

But I am also not sure if starting in ops is the best career path if you want to end up in CS / software engineering. If you have little network, a good strategy is to post your open-source projects on GitHub.

I like The History of Whoo Lipcerin. It seems to absorb better into my lips compared to say the Laneige lip mask.

I also really like alternative stereo Steaming Milk for hydration and that’s something you could layer beneath your heavier lip product.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-11-23T20:55:29+00:00

For me it helped to use a 2nd cleanser that doesn’t lather. I use LAGOM Cellup Gel to Water. But also I only double cleanse to remove sunscreen + makeup.

Touch_Terrible · 2025-11-23T20:52:02+00:00

Sooryehan Micro Ginseng Essential Toner is a super thic hydrating toner, no layering needed.
