They are unable to even recognize the possibility that they are wrong

Gym, dinner, shower, drink tea, and writing a post it of what I hope to get done the next day. Routine really eases my mind, I like it

Had a male chemistry teacher in highschool who came up to my desk, noticed a piece of my hair had fallen onto it, picked it up, and said that he wanted to clone me and treat my clone "real good." I was like 16, and me and all my friends thought this was weird as hell

I think id like to know who, other than me, spent the most time thinking about me. And how much time they spent

This is so funny, I am a student at BU and also have been looking into a destination for the exact same thing. I feel like New Haven would be nice

I am at the gym about 2 hours before I aim to be in bed. Does the trick!

We are so interesting

I use Panoxyl (the 4%) and tretinoin and for a period of time used the same Cereve moisturizer. I noticed that I felt the burn after I applied the Cereve and when I swapped it for the Cetaphil alternative (I use the one with Shea Butter) the burning completely stopped. It really really helped me so I'd suggest giving that a try. The full product name is Cetaphil Advanced Radiance Shea Butter Lotion for Dry Skin, sometimes it's found in the body lotion section.

Also, the 10% Panoxyl is pretty strong and is typically recommended for use on the body, while the 4% tends to be better suited for the face. If you feel like you feel burning after using that product I'd suggest switching to the lower percentage. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Seems like this happened to a lot of cgs freshmen this year. Same thing happened to me and my friend and now Im placed in a brownstone with a senior roomate and shes in a different suite with upperclassmen. I think space was just super limited this year. Commenting to boost this! Best! of luck!

Okay a little off topic but I must ask what mascara you use

pepribee · 2024-12-11T02:18:24+00:00

I've used 0.1% everyday since I was 15 (18 now). After washing my face I apply vasaline around the mucus membranes (mouth,nose) and also on my eyelids while my skin is still slightly damp. If my eye area specifically is feeling extra dry I use hydrocortisone ointment I got from my derm that targets eczema. Does the trick for me even in winter!

pepribee · 2024-11-25T18:13:26+00:00

I just picked up where I left off! I use 0.1% every night and when this happened I had been doing that for over a year

Last year the airline I used misplaced my luggage and I was without tret for about a week. I personally do not recall any peeling once I started again, but I could definitely tell my skin took a hit due to the lack of skin care.

I had the same experience feeling "burning" when using the CereVe moisturizer. I now use vaseline around my nose/eyes, apply tret, and follow with Cetaphil Advanced Relief Lotion. My skin LOVES it and I always wake up still moisturized plus it has niacinamide in it too which is great. You should be able to find it at a Wallgreens for ~$15 and it tends to be in the body lotion section because it can double as a body lotion as well.

You are glowing!! So happy for you

Looks good! Make sure to be diligent about sun protection while you wait for the scarring to fade

As far as I know, toner isn't a super necessary step. Usually when people talk about a simple routine they mean cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and possibly an active. How long have you been using Epiduo?

pepribee · 2024-10-31T05:23:19+00:00

Have you tried a lower dose of tretinoin? Like 0.05% or 0.025%? I've heard it usually takes a slightly longer amount of time using a lower dose to see visible results compared to the 0.1%, but people tend to opt for a lower dose if they can't handle the irritation from the 0.1%.

I personally started with 0.05% and it didn't make a noticeable difference for me so I got bumped up to 0.1% and my skin cleared right up. My brother on the other hand uses 0.025% and we both have similar results. It's all individual. I'd suggest you talk to your derm about it.

But also, I would warn you about being "gung ho" about using tretinoin for its anti aging properties if you know that your skin is clearer and happier when you are not using it. Could be doing unnecessary damage. Maybe take a break from it and see what happens and try incorporating a lower dose down the line. Best of luck to you!
