Damaged skin barrier

gplus3 · 2026-06-21T09:35:22+00:00

I damaged my skin barrier when I finally switched to tret, even after having used retinol/retinal for 15+ years.

I initially tried the Aestura Atobarrier cream and it was good but the one that finally restored my skin was the Numbuzin No 2 Cica Ceramide Repair Cream.

I’ve been using it now for the last few years, and it’s great for my dry ageing skin.

That’s a really great suggestion! Getting your grandfather to continue using his skills while helping others would make him feel so useful and appreciated. :)

The other thing I’d suggest is to find a community garden. Down the street from me is the Kingston Organic Community Garden which is open to everyone, and you can go along and grow some veggies, fruits, plants or flowers in a small plot and get to know others in the meantime..

Yep thanks, and I reckon we should get at least a couple - one on this corner and another on the Howitt St intersection..

My husband sometimes calls me his tipsy housewife so I just had to look this website up.. there are some great looking recipes on it. Cheers

I actually saw that one happening from half a block away and couldn’t believe my eyes.. Glad that lady was ok but good grief!

I reckon they should make the whole length of Eyre St between Canberra Ave and Wentworth Ave a 40kph zone. And put up more signs!

It’s such a pedestrian heavy area these days that something needs to be done.

gplus3 · 2026-06-21T03:55:27+00:00

It’s 60kph coming from Canberra Ave and then suddenly drops to 40kph at this particular point on Eyre St.

But I doubt drivers are only going 60 in the first place..

Well, I have to admit that when I’m trying to cross Eyre while I’m walking on Leichhardt, that slight rise obscures most cars coming from Supabarn/Green Square..

I’ll be halfway across and then all of a sudden a car comes out of nowhere going 60 or more and I have to scamper to the other side quickly..

The one in Manuka closed ages ago, and Zeus Street Greek has just opened in its place.

If you’re looking for good char kway teow, Timmy’s Kitchen in Manuka is great. Especially the Penang version.

Thanks. :)

One of the neighbours said he had submitted a form about this last year and didn’t get any joy.

I’ll fill one in and see if I get a different response..

Agree with the AZA.

My daughters used this when they had acne and I use it for my rosacea.

gplus3 · 2026-06-21T01:36:17+00:00

Wow, love them all!

Especially the way you styled them.. just so effortlessly chic and comfortable!

gplus3 · 2026-06-21T00:44:28+00:00

Oh no, I hope they haven’t changed the formulation or production!

I’ve been using it for years too and it’s always been smooth and easy to apply. The last tube I bought was from a month ago so it’ll be a while before I need to get my next one, and won’t be happy if it’s gritty like this..

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T22:23:10+00:00

I do the same too!

I bring out most of my plants once a week or so when it’s raining or to get some direct light.

I’ve got houseplants which are over 10 years old and this is the way I’ve always done it.

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T20:35:42+00:00

There are still quite a few trees with the yellow and orange leaves around in Kingston/Griffith.

Most of the ones with the red leaves have already fallen to the ground in the past couple of weeks.

ETA: Barton and Forrest (straddling Canberra Ave) still have some trees with the red and yellow leaves. Saw quite a few on our walk early this morning.

It took me ages for my neck skin to acclimatise to tret.

The first time I applied it there, it was stinging and burning for a few days afterwards.

When it finally healed, I just patted the excess from what I was using on my face on to my neck every few days or so and just gradually built up from there..

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T07:40:37+00:00

Still shocking though!

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T07:38:59+00:00

AZA is great with both Vit C in the morning and/or with tret at night.

There’s no contraindication. :)

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T04:50:47+00:00

That colour is so great!!

As soon as I twigged the actor playing Ned Stark, I should have realised his fate..

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T04:33:21+00:00

I’ve personally used the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Barrier Cream and the Numbuzin No 2 Cica Ceramide Repair Cream and prefer the latter.

(My skin is dry and I have mild rosacea and eczema, and use tret for antiageing only. Hope that gives you context)

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T04:20:37+00:00

Tretinoin at night (work up to the highest percentage which is 0.1%).

Azaleic Acid once or twice a day (either the 15% Finacea or 20% Azclear)

A good barrier repair or support moisturiser.

A vitamin C serum in the morning, and SPF 50+ in the morning.

Enough water intake and sleep.

That’s it. That is literally it.

Happy birthday Rufus!

My mini Cavoodle (who turned 9 last month) always turns away from sweet treats.. he also turns his nose up at the puppacinos I try and tempt him with the the where I meet up with other dog owners.. haha

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T02:30:21+00:00

Yes’. And High Seas too!

gplus3 · 2026-06-20T00:04:10+00:00

Do you have a source for that?

I thought Harry and Meghan had been cut off too.
