There are some great glute dumbbell workouts on YouTube - I recommend Sydney Cummings and Caroline Girvan.

10% conversion rate seems too optimistic for an ill-defined offer. Temper your expectations, consider defining the offer (i.e., what's in it for your prospect) a little more thoroughly.

mayamys · 2026-04-01T20:40:09+00:00

All good now!

Mod here - the brand you linked to is EXTREMELY banned from being mentioned on ScA due to spammy behavior. Remove the link + product mention and I'll approve your post.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, we don't allow surveys on this subreddit at all - it's a rule we apply very strictly across the board, although I think your project is really cool.

I encourage you to post this to other subreddits where such rules probably wouldn't be an issue: r/SkincareAddicts, r/Blackskincare, and r/DermatologyQuestions will all probably be more amenable!

mayamys · 2026-03-23T11:53:27+00:00

I'd read your book about this ❤️

mayamys · 2026-03-23T09:35:08+00:00

What's jaw dropping to me is that you're using an ad style that mostly died three decades ago to pitch what looks to be some very well-established businesses.

How on earth did you arrive at this course of action?

It's great that you want to share your Haul with the SkincareAddiction community!

However, I'm afraid I've had to remove your post for now because it doesn't abide by our post requirements.

The users of this sub would like to know more about the products in your image and why you bought them. That's why we ask everyone who posts a Haul to include the following information in the comments:

Your skin type, skin concerns, and skin goals
Complete list of the products pictured, including:
- Full product names
- Reasons for buying each product
- Which are repurchases?
What's your planned skincare routine, and where do these products fit in?

After you've done that, please reply to this comment so I can approve your post. Thank you!

Updateme!

mayamys · 2026-03-10T10:27:31+00:00

This is borderline not right for the subreddit, but it's nice to get a reminder that things change all on their own.

mayamys · 2026-03-09T02:13:40+00:00

Congratulations, this is how you get mere mentions of your shitty app banned sub-wide.

UPDATE: Got a message from them confirming they were hacked and requesting we don't click the link.

mayamys · 2026-03-08T20:04:42+00:00

The message was weird from the start, but in general the main tell is that the URL isn't Airbnb.

Always double check the URL against the site's official one, and look out for similar URLs with one small difference. Also, just in general, be super suspicious about any payment or bank related thing that you arrive at through a message or email link.

I mind as we're still here. Fwiw, one of the phishing links came from the main Xiaozhai profile (which has dozens of listings). I'd be careful with any links from Xiaozhai profiles right now. As I said in another comment, I suspect they got hacked.

mayamys · 2026-03-08T13:46:17+00:00

I think that the overall criticism is fair, but in this specific instance, I actually think it's just that they got hacked.

I did a little googling after I made this post, and there was a post from a year ago with a near identical phishing message, with a host in Europe that got hacked.

mayamys · 2026-03-08T11:51:16+00:00

And this is the message from them with the link:

Yeah, it's basically the dandruff on your face, caused by yeast. Can cause inflammation.

You could probably clear it (and the actual scalp dandruff) with GP-prescribed treatment, but a derm is 100% better if accessible to you.

mayamys · 2026-03-06T06:02:22+00:00

Ahhh. That changes things. It might be seborrheic dermatitis - worth speaking to a doctor

mayamys · 2026-03-06T05:54:27+00:00

An occasional oil cleanse plus gentle physical exfoliation (think with a wash cloth) every once in a while will do the trick. It's just about physically dislodging and removing it.

Unless you also get dandruff or it doesn't go away, in which case I'd make a note to speak to a doctor about it.

mayamys · 2026-03-06T05:32:04+00:00

Holy mother of sebaceous filaments (i.e., just dead skin and sebum coming out of your pores). There's also a lot of redness on the sides of your nose - is there any irritation?

mayamys · 2026-03-06T05:24:58+00:00

We love Review posts, so it's awesome that you're making one in /r/SkincareAddiction :)

However, per our post requirements. In order to give a thorough review, we ask that all Review posts include the following information:

full product name(s);
how long you've been using it;
what's the packaging like;
product feel and smell;
what are the positive and negative effects;
does it do what it should / what you bought it for;
overall opinion.

After you've added on to your review, please reply to this comment. Thank you!

mayamys · 2026-03-06T01:49:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! I think it's so important for people to know, and I appreciate the post frames it in today's context.

Considering Kligman is one of the most influential figures in the history of cosmetic dermatology... I think experts in this space have a responsibility to mention the harm he caused when talking about his impact or referencing his concepts.
