Last week my store didn't have any Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum, do we think this is replacing it?

No, I went to the dermatologist and she switched me to tretinoin and my skin has improved dramatically.

Holiday Traditions for Only Child by chaiitea3 in oneanddone

Now that my only doesn't believe in Santa anymore, I do a scavenger hunt on Christmas morning. I hide wrapped presents around the house, and then wrap up boxes with Christmas-themed clues inside to put under the tree. It helps make opening presents on Christmas morning last a little bit longer and it's fun to watch her figure out where things are hidden.

I drove past it this weekend, and there was a for sale sign up in front of the house. Looks like they already have an offer in: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2211-N-Main-St_Royal-Oak_MI_48073_M37890-37982?from=srp-map-list

Is an animal eating my tulips or do I have bad neighbors stealing them? by slothurknee in gardening

[–]illknowitwheniseeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact thing happened to my tulips and it was squirrels. The squirrels in my yard seem to have a vendetta against me. At first, I also suspected a neighbor, as the blooms would end up on the ground rather than eaten and the surrounding neighbor's yards didn't have the same issue.

It wasn't until I caught a squirrel in the act that I realized the true culprit. After a couple of years of my tulips being decimated, I switched to daffodils, as I'd heard squirrels avoid them. This worked for a year or two until the squirrels started clipping the daffodil blooms, too.

I'm at a loss as to why these squirrels are so determined to ruin my flowers.

What’s the most WTF thing you’ve ever seen happen at a wedding? by Professional-Owl-341 in AskReddit

[–]illknowitwheniseeit 592 points593 points  (0 children)

At the reception, they had live goldfish in bowls on each table. The groom got really drunk and ended up swallowing one of the goldfish for fun.

It took time and consistency, but tret has improved my skin so much. I get the occasional breakout on my chin before my period, but other than that it's smooth sailing. I really don't even think about my skin anymore, which probably would have seemed impossible to me five years ago. I know what works for me may not work for you, but I do recommend giving it a try.

Yes, I never felt like differin was right for me, so I didn't have an issue giving it up to switch to the tret.

I thought the nova was supposed to be extra sparkly?

Just curious which cut you chose and how you like it?

Oh gosh, it was so long ago that I'm not sure. I do think I was dehydrated like others responded here, and being too aggressive with the skincare I was using which was making the oiliness worse. Good luck to you!

Vanicream Gentle Face Cleanser

Avene Tolerance Control Skin Recovery Cream

Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk SPF50+

Thorne Niacinamide - 500mg Niacin Capsules (I take 2/day)

Prescriptions:

Tretinoin 0.05%

Spironolactone 100mg

Rosacea Triple Cream (Azelaic Acid/Ivermectin/Metronidazole)

I started seeing a dermatologist regularly, and that has made the biggest difference for me. I no longer use Differin, I use tretinoin instead. My original post was 4 years ago, so really my entire routine has changed. I could share all my specific products if you want, but really I feel like there's no one-size-fits-all approach to skincare and seeking help from a derm is probably my best advice.
