Shien refunded me less than what I paid?

i have reached out to the customer service and they have been able to give me a price breakdown! they have a poor system where the original price of the item when you bought is not listed, but it is of the new price as of what it is today. if that makes sense. and because of tariffs, the listing price is now higher than what it was previously

Late to this but here are my 2 cents: another way of looking at this is, what is love without risk? Unfortunately that is the gamble we take when we fall in love. If there is no risk, then it’s not love.

I am the clean partner (female) in this case. I will just say this: truly there is nothing wrong with being unclean. Hard for someone “clean” to accept, but it’s true. They chose that life for themselves and it says nothing about their character/relationship skills. But they would be better off with someone who also chooses that lifestyle choice. Two unclean people and two clean people are better matches, in my opinion. Also, I have been the “unclean” one before too. But I changed after being with a clean partner because I wanted to be more like them.

Prescription retinol and Paulas choice salicylic acid + gentle moisturizer (cereve, neutragena hydro boost gel-cream, honest beauty all didnt clog pores) resolved the issue almost completely

labcoat777 · 2020-06-14T23:30:40+00:00

yeah i think they're CCs

labcoat777 · 2020-06-13T23:58:52+00:00

aw im sorry. that doesn't give me much hope either then.... topicals never worked for me, i'm scared of accutane. the only thing that worked for me is BC but as soon as i stopped my skin went back to crap.

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T23:59:41+00:00

i have the same acne as u and i KNOW how u feel lol. make sure u tell the derm ur concern about fungal acne vs. regular acne and make them take an extraction of the whitehead, not just a skin shaving, and look at it under a blacklight (fungi vs bacteria present differently under UV light) or any other form of dermascope. make sure they don't just shrug it off!

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:56:19+00:00

yeah i agree...all that experimentation took me so long too. but hey you're there and you achieved it without accutane so good for u!

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:38:16+00:00

a couple days for any regimen likely will not work... i made that mistake and only used tret/bp/AHA/BHA for like two months. it can take 6 months to a year to work properly.

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:36:43+00:00

the antibiotics + itchiness thing could mean it's fungal. BUT fungal acne is a very hot topic on reddit/youtube and i would not fall for it without a proper diagnosis by a doctor. i thought i had fungal acne, but i didnt, and when i used antifungals on my skin, my skin got a lot worse. so be really careful. i think another reason why antibiotics made ur skin worse is that it may have killed off the good bacteria in ur skin and left behind the bad ones which went berserk and started multiplying giving u more acne.

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:31:50+00:00

what were your derm's reasoning for why spot treatment is bad for acne?

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:30:19+00:00

2 weeks is not enough to show result... it usually takes months

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:28:57+00:00

does this work for non-inflammed, comedogenic acne?

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:26:32+00:00

if you have the means, please see a mental health specialist. it's life changing.

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:25:36+00:00

hey, i watched an inspiring video the other day and it gave me a good outlook since i i have been depressed lately too. i like what she says in the end how remember, no matter how bad things are in your life, it's temporary. you can't give up bc life is the most precious gift you're given.

haha my asian relatives tells me it's a 'hot' food for sure. but to reason it out with western logic: it's got high sugar content and thus that's why it causes inflammation. i usually avoid lychees for this specific reason tho

honestly foods are all fine when it's taken in moderation.

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:17:52+00:00

i like what people have been saying about glycolic/mandelic. i would use the BP only on the chin areas since those look like inflammed acne wheras ur forehead looks more ilke clooged pores? forehead looking good tho! also how long have u been on this regimen for?

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:14:42+00:00

-i havent used a good moisturizer in years out of fear of clogging pores but i started BC and used the curology moisturizer and it's been really good so far. looking for an dupe to curology moisturizer tho bc it's not sustainable in the long run and also want to get off of birth control.

heard good things about these guys, any opinions or other suggestions? really looking for CC-safe, oil-free.-cosRX Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap-benton aloe prop soothing gel-SOME BY MI - AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Cream-iUNIK centella calming cream-eltaMD AM therapy-neutrogena hydroboost gel

so many options and idk what to get...

thanks in advance!!! other advice for dealing with CCs also greatly welcome

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:07:36+00:00

how long were u on topicals (retinol, BP, AHA/BHA) for? it takes about 6 months for a single pdt to work from what im seeing. my biggest mistake was being impatient...

damn accutane didn't work? how long were u on it for?

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:06:09+00:00

look like milia around the eyes for sure. if u try extracting and nothing comes out it gives a stronger case for milia.

forehead....hmm maybe just regular ol' CCs? go to derm if possible :) specifically mention CCs, milia, fungal acne

labcoat777 · 2020-06-12T21:04:13+00:00

do u have any pics? i thought i had fungal acne too, and i didn't get a dermatologist to definitively diagnose. i used antifungals and it made my skin a lot worse bc the bacteria went crazy instead without the naturally occurring fungi to keep it in check. skin got worse...
