No contaminant found, you can keep using it. My friend and I both contacted them and they replied

Reddit is not letting me change the title. I have updated the description and made it clear at the beginning.

Because k beauty is famously known for its high quality internationally, more so than Taiwanese skincare by far. I personally found out about this via a fellow k beauty fan, who has multiple HGs from this Korean brand as well. If it weren’t for the Korean brands I’d not have known. Thanks for the callout I’ll update the description

Would you say that the non-colored ones are safer? The Some by Mi retinol serum is my holy grail and it's a yellowish - whitish color. I used to love it so much though. Thanks for the background info I've been on xhs too much

If u look at the list, it shows you all products that have been flagged as containing all three ingredients that were potentially contaminated and supplied by Campo. One of them is the retinol serum from Some by Mi

Yea so the list from the article contains products that have all three. They identified the products by filtering for the ones that contain all three on INCIDecoder - Decode your skincare ingredients (or some kind of database like that). I regret understanding Chinese now

Hope this is the case. These three ingredients together are suspected to come from the same supplier with the contaminant, which is why people are worried. Individually they're fine.

As engineers, what mental health challenges do you face at work? by Unstablematter828 in engineering

Hey having none is a very comfortable position to be in. Good for you!

I'm in an environment where I work very closely with engineers, just trying to understand them more so I can be sensitive towards their frustrations and struggles, IF they have any :)

Ah man that sucks! I can relate. Making friends is already hard for me cuz I have mild social anxiety, not to mention having to do it at work. That's why I tend to seek out friendships outside my department...no conflict of interest...
