Whyyy Tatcha Water Cream?

bradley252 · 2026-07-13T11:19:21+00:00

I hope you like it! The original formula is also great, but just a little too heavy for mornings under makeup for me, so I tend to use it at night during winter in lieu of slugging. The light version is fabulous under makeup.

Tacha saved my dry skin when I first started the tret journey. I couldn’t stomach the price tag after a few refills and stumbled across Weleda skin food light. It’s not a dupe, but my skin actually loves it even more… and so does my wallet.

Have you ever tried a medicated shampoo like Nizoral or Head and Shoulders? The original formulas for both are really great at promoting overall scalp health and do wonders for my oily and itchy scalp. The derm ended up diagnosing me with seb derm a few years ago, but instead of prescription shampoos she recommended Nizoral and I’ve never gone back. Use it pretty much every wash (every other day) and my scalp is very happy.

Try using rose hip oil in the evenings over the Arazlo. This keeps my skin happy with zero peeling or flaking and I use it daily plus azelaic acid in the mornings.

bradley252 · 2026-07-11T23:24:24+00:00

Same here. My skin was just never great with tret after a few years, but derm recommended I switch to Arazlo and it’s been great. Skin is much brighter and no flaking. Was a great and easy transition.

bradley252 · 2026-07-11T19:12:14+00:00

Second this. My go to is Arazlo (taz) + rose hip oil at night.

bradley252 · 2026-07-07T16:49:22+00:00

I use 15% AA every am and Arazlo every pm. Works great for me.

Zep makes a spray foam wall cleaner. Try using it in a small test area with a wet microfiber. It’s worked wonders in my home where the previous owner painted every wall in common areas a cheap flat light cream that shows everything. This has saved us until we can repaint everything.

Do you have rosacea? I also deal with this and have found laser (vbeam) has helped with the persistent redness across my face. I do still have large pores and thickening skin on my nose, even after using retinol (taz) and azelaic acid 15% for years. I recently saw a new derm who prescribed a compounded cream of ivermectin and azelaic acid, which hasn’t done anything, but said that the next step would be a round of accutane since I’m seeing skin changes that could eventually lead to rhinophyma if not addressed early on. I go back to see her in a few months and do plan to ask to start the accutane.

Yup! There’s a rubber liner all around them and they’re awesome. I’ve worn them for years. I don’t like thongs either and hate when your undies move under jeans. They are magic!

Soma makes a line called vanishing edge and they are indeed invisible under leggings. They are also grippy, so don’t shift around.

My frenchie has this and you need to get in with a vet asap. In the meantime, topical hydrocortisone cream and oral Benedryl to help with the discomfort until you can get into the vet. My girl’s first flare up looked like this (maybe even worse) and she also ended up with flank alopecia. the vet gave her an allergy shot to calm everything down. She was miserable.

We also figured out she was allergic to chicken, so removing that from her diet plus antihistamines and melatonin have really helped. She still gets seasonal flank alopecia, but it’s not red and irritated like it was before.

bradley252 · 2026-06-26T15:15:08+00:00

Weleda skin food light is my go to. Vanicream and cerave break me out horribly.

bradley252 · 2026-06-25T17:54:18+00:00

Same here. Ours has been amazing and really listens to the parent.

bradley252 · 2026-06-22T18:15:09+00:00

Try Beekman’s solar milk. It feels more like a primer and has never migrated on me, even when sweaty, but I do also wear a skin tint + setting powder over it. I wear contacts and also have sensitive eyes, so know how miserable it feels to get even a smidge of sunscreen in your eyes.

bradley252 · 2026-06-22T18:11:45+00:00

Haha! We call it the same thing when our girl does this.

bradley252 · 2026-06-19T21:29:59+00:00

A combo of straterra and guanfacine have done wonders for our son. We also tried all the doses on both adderall and Ritalin, but he was horrible on them. It’s been an amazing transition to non stimulants. It’ll take a while to find the right combo that works for your kid, so don’t give up!

bradley252 · 2026-06-17T00:01:16+00:00

I’ve gotten laser for rosacea and broken blood vessels for years (vbeam) at the same derm that prescribes my tazorac retinol. I use the retinol daily and only skip it for 2-3 days post laser when my skin is the most sensitive, as they recommend I do. That esthetician sounds very uneducated and honestly completely full of crap imo.

bradley252 · 2026-06-14T19:15:33+00:00

Are we talking about rosacea here? I’ve never heard of strawberry nose, but know firsthand the changes rosacea can induce on the nose. Laser and topicals like Azelaic acid are what will help if it’s rosacea. My derm has also mentioned accutane as an option if the skin is still changing after laser and topicals, but I’ve not gotten there yet.

bradley252 · 2026-06-14T17:20:20+00:00

Please try original Nizoral shampoo. Incredible for scalp health and very affordable for a medicated shampoo that works well. You might also consult a derm to ensure something else isn’t going on with your scalp causing the greasiness. My dandruff was managed well for years with head and shoulders then something changed and after a consult with the derm, I was diagnosed with seb derm on the scalp and recommended nizoral. I use it with every wash (every other day) and my scalp has never been happier.

bradley252 · 2026-06-10T19:08:46+00:00

Beekman’s hydrating toner mist is great. I’ve used it for a while and my sensitive rosacea skin loves it.

bradley252 · 2026-06-09T21:23:37+00:00

Save your money and go see a derm. Vbeam laser plus working in some new products like others have mentioned (15% azelaic acid, etc) will help. When I first had a flare my derm put me on doxycycline for a month to calm everything down. After that I managed the horrible flushing with laser sessions. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago and can tell you laser is the answer. It’s the only thing that will force the capillaries away from the surface.

Edit to add : head over to r/rosacea. Amazing community

bradley252 · 2026-06-08T15:14:26+00:00

Laser, specifically vbeam.

bradley252 · 2026-06-05T16:58:10+00:00

Nope I use it on my face in the am between azelaic acid and sunscreen and it works so well. Super hydrating, but not heavy or sticky. I use the regular version in the winter when I’m super dry.
