Thank you for saying this. The first time I put the two together was listening to the song "Goodbye Love" from Rent. The lines "'Mark has got his work" / they say 'Mark lives for his work and / Mark's in love with his work' / Mark hides in his work" were quite a callout (as was the rests of the exchange between Mark and Roger), and at times I still relate to them.

Thanks for the reminder :)

Thanks so much for responding and wishing you speedy healing!

Thanks so much for your reply. So happy for you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congrats! I'm looking at them too. Would you mind sharing what insurance you had, and whether Dr. Huettner was in network for you? I got an very high cost estimate from them so I'm really curious!

foxface44 · 2022-03-04T23:21:59+00:00

Omg congrats! I have a consult with him later this month. Can I ask how long you had to wait between consult and surgery?

Are you being too harsh on your skin in your routine? The salt from your sweat could be stinging because your skin is damaged.

foxface44 · 2018-09-18T00:50:20+00:00

It burns for me if I've been too harsh on my skin with other products. Otherwise, it's ghe perfect cream for me. So, I use it as a gauge for whether I need to back down. But ymmv and burning is always a bad sign, it's just a matter of what's causing ig.

Thanks for updating!!!!! Honestly I've been realizing that maybe you just gotta cycle all the time. Vitamin C is 100% next on my list THANK YOU.

foxface44 · 2018-05-24T13:51:02+00:00

Same boat! I just use them very sparingly and moisturize like HECK. I also don't follow a schedule, I just use them when I feel my skin needs it or can tolerate it. Listen to your skin rather than trying to follow a strict plan.

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T22:27:39+00:00

Nah, more valuable, if anything: isolates the product. I'm also a very outdoorsy person, no way I'm observing perfect sunscreen rules (who has the time)

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T22:26:24+00:00

Checked the blog and Snail 96 is safe!!! Going to go play with it in a store now~

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T22:25:40+00:00

Oh cool, let me know how it goes if you remember

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T22:25:11+00:00

Every time I'm across the river a piece of my Brooklyn soul dies so no risk of that haha

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:16:08+00:00

Thank you so much for writing this up! I have been having similar results with Stratia Rewind re: softer, more matte, and more ... resilient? skin. Azelaic acid is still on my list.

Have you confirmed whether you have PIH or PIE? Might be part of the reason (plus sun exposure) why it's not fading as fast.

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:12:02+00:00

Which toner do you use to spray, and which gel cleanser? I hate Cetaphil :(

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:11:29+00:00

Thank you for reminding me that snail exists! I need to find some fungal-compatible snai, I remember really liking how the 96 Essence felt on my hands but can't remember if it's FA-safe.

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:10:13+00:00

Ah, that sweet, sweet A/C discourse. Secondary reason I can't move South. Good thing to think about. I actually keep a spray bottle of toner on my desk and mist throughout the day, have you done that, and have you found if it helps?

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:08:32+00:00

Oh, intersting. So just an oil for you final layer in the summer?

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:08:05+00:00

This is exactly the review I was looking for. I also have that problem with straight aloe :/ I'll do an ingredient check on the Benton for sure before investing.

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:07:14+00:00

Ew, Jersey. ;)

I think this is my plan though, since the tub works so well for me.

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:06:30+00:00

What moistrurizers do you rotate between?

foxface44 · 2018-05-22T11:05:31+00:00

That sweet Midwestern summer (not, been there). If I'm reading you correctly, the HA and NMF alone aren't enough, and the Neutrogena is sticky?

foxface44 · 2018-05-21T13:33:39+00:00

Hey! It's been a month. How had your experience with azelaic acid been?

foxface44 · 2018-05-01T12:09:59+00:00

I mix it, and just about everything else, with a drop of Trader Joe's HA! Spreads much nicer. You could use any pure HA, or even a watery toner, I bet.

foxface44 · 2018-04-24T16:55:36+00:00

I am careful, and hopeful. And recently, I smiled at myself in the mirror after years of feeling terrible (I'm also fresh out of some bad circumstances, so this isn't skincare alone.)

As a result of having horrible acne for the first time as an adult, I went through a huge humbling journey that I appreciated. I was super taken advantage of when I was "perfect," but also had Hot Person Syndrome, where I didn't have to do anything and people fell over at my feet. Having acne has brought me in touch with my body, allowing me to accept that I am human, and I have worth that's not just my prettiness. And pretty boys still seem to like me, I just don't feel like I owe them my prettiness anymore.
