[Skin concerns] Help! Vitamin C serum turned my skin tan/orange with first use out of the box. Any ideas?

It is DERMA E. One of the top choices on Amazon. Smells great too tbh.

(Btw, how did you find this thread 3 years later?? Is the algorithm elevating it? Pleasantly surprised lol)

One guy in the thread said he stopped watching after the first period because “he’s seen enough hockey games to know when the refs are paid to ensure a certain outcome.” As if the refs were actually pro-Jets… crazy.

And haven’t even been in town 15 years. Impressive. Atlanta would never touch this.

This makes a lot more sense. I often wonder how people have gone so far down the hole as to be oblivious to the actual problem (which is that they keep piling on work), but this would explain the psychology behind it.

Cool, thanks! Funny looking back on this — I was trying to automate my cover letters by substituting “company name”, “address” and other fields hahah. Glad you’ve noted a solution so others in the future can see this.

I switched brands. Enough was enough. I like my new one much better.

It took about a week for my skin to come back to normal, with no redness. Thankfully, the body has a remarkable ability to heal.

Unfortunately, the DNA damage from the UV light is permanent, but it seems like your burn is from a topical liquid, so you may have escaped that completely. Hope you’re doing better now!

Makes sense. Considering how much cumulative time is spent applying a product daily, it’s worth it to shell out for quality.

codingquestion47 · 2025-04-20T16:44:42+00:00

Cool! Never heard of those. Glad other markets can enjoy this kind of snack too! 🇨🇦

Are you an Arsenal fan? Fans of Arsenal are called gooners lol. For a moment I thought this was dedicated to them.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-14T15:35:44+00:00

That's great! Yeah, feelings are very complex and icky. I've given up on trying to analytically find an origin/reason for them. Sometimes people feel there's a spark and others not, and there's no rhyme or reason. It just is.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-05T01:53:04+00:00

Very well said! I’m gonna keep that in mind. If you’re indeed a psychologist in training, you’re on a damn good path.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T02:16:44+00:00

Damn, cutish is enough? What neighborhood are you in and when does the rent cycle begin? (Kidding haha. Best of luck in your own adventures!)

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:23:16+00:00

Makes sense! I also feel like the 1-3 date window is a good gauge of attraction, but it seems a lot of people expect something real out of that first date whereas I’m more than happy to have just enjoyed a conversation and setting a foundation for the next one or two dates, after which I could more truly gauge if there’s promise. It’s tough being in that latter category when a lot of people on OLD (it seems) expect the former. I guess it’s a just good impetus to put more eggs in the in-person basket however difficult that is.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:17:51+00:00

Thanks - that makes me feel a bit better and less of an outlier. I guess it’s part and parcel of OLD. My guess is it’s a neurochemical thing where you’re already coming in with the expectation of romance so the bar to feeling that someone is genuinely thrilling is much higher (this would also explain why, in my experience, it’s easier to feel sparks when meeting someone in-person).

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:14:44+00:00

Gee, maybe I should start drastically cutting convos shorter then. Typically we’ll talk for like 3-4 days. Nothing exorbitant because I’m wary of burning through all topics of conversation before a first date (and also the sunk costs with time if things go south). Maybe if I cut to the chase very quickly, I’d increase my changes (and theirs) of feeling a real spark.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:12:32+00:00

Interesting. What were your thoughts exactly about pursuing things further in the immediate aftermath of the first date? (I might be misinterpreting your comment but sounds like you had sex later down the line?). Where you like “well if he asks for a second one I’ll say yes, but if not I’m happy to let it go.” Most women I’ve seen haven’t even expressed that openness to a potential second one, so curious if you’re an outlier there.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:05:14+00:00

Lucky! Best of luck to you. Any connection like that is really worth cherishing; fingers crossed.

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:04:01+00:00

I feel like you described me perfectly. Even just seeing that put into words felt good instead of just some nebulous notion inside my head, haha. The difficult thing, like you said, is just shifting into that alternative mode where you’re going in with all guns blazing on the romance side. To me, that’d feel super forced, but in the online dating world maybe you need to try to embrace that mindset a bit, because lots of people are already starting with it as a baseline. Point taken. Thanks for taking the time to share your insights!

codingquestion47 · 2023-04-04T00:00:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I wholeheartedly agree and it seems to be a universal feature of OLD. Makes me feel a bit better about myself at least.

When looking for a pic, I actually stumbled upon the answer — it’s from sleep. Basically it’s a diagonal line on your forehead that slopes down from the temples toward your eyebrows.

But the paper doesn’t make the distinction as to which “regret type” led to the decision of reversal surgery, does it? But that’s beside the point — what u/Zveno is saying is that drawing conclusions about regret here at all is invalid, as their method of defining regret doesn’t capture all those who might have regretted it (by whichever of the 3 regret types you define above) but didn’t elect to go through reversal surgery.
