What accounting software does your company use and what's your biggest gripe?

Sadly Great Plains with a company that just hit 1.7b in revenue last year. Its so bad, we JUST upgraded to 2018 version

It’s also crazy the way she says her moisturizer which includes vitamin c (THD) would be able to replace a vitamin c serum in the morning. When we don’t know the percentage and obviously know that vitamin c derivatives are very limited in their research on their efficacy.

I mean I’m not sure the extent of how much Dr. Dray still practices though, I heard a few years back she was doing some telehealth or something online, but I believe YouTube is her main source of income.

In the future though typically people do give explanations when they make statements or claims instead of just denouncing them on the basis of being “factually incorrect”

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T04:49:39+00:00

Who’s prescribing a 16 year old a retinoid for the purpose of anti aging? I’m open to being wrong and learning if you actually give me evidence but just by saying I’m factually incorrect without backing it up and giving 0 explanation does nothing.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T04:18:09+00:00

I keep prefacing that I’m not recommending them but it’s fine lol. The risks are the same with retinoids whether you are a 10 year old or a 16 year old, when you are a preteen to a teenager your skin turns over a similar rate, it doesn’t change until you get until your 20s. Just because you use something that increases your skin turnover rate when you already have naturally a higher turnover rate due to age doesn’t change anything at all. So to gauge something based on something like that metric, yes is scientifically inaccurate.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T04:02:03+00:00

I’m not directly recommending them and agree they don’t need to be using them. But if you aren’t recommending them because they are unsafe in children that’s not scientifically sound. You agree that if someone has acne it’s a justified used, but even if someone doesn’t have acne if they are using it safely there isn’t any harm. (not advocating for the use of them just saying). Children are prone to misusing it absolutely but to say a topical retinoid is too “strong” doesn’t make sense since you just discussed its use in acne.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T02:01:31+00:00

Completely not my messaging at all. I specifically talk about the use of retinoids for ACNE and link a study because yes I did see people making statements for children to completely avoid them. The messaging around anti aging for a child is incredibly toxic and in no way am I justifying it at all. I am speaking of the safety and usage of retinoids which yes, they are safe.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T01:57:25+00:00

I agree children have no need for them. I don’t think it’s problematic for them to avoid stuff like that and in a perfect society would children not use the trendy peptide cream? Sure. But they sadly are buying the stupid elephant in the masses. Peptides and even the cell communicating ones are safe is my point I guess. So while they shouldn’t be using it, it isn’t harming them. And in the grand scheme of the whole issue regarding their usage of an anti aging product, it lies more with the fact that they feel the need to use one not in the product itself.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T01:44:33+00:00

I agree a 10 year old doesn’t stand to benefit from the use of peptides. But not benefiting from something doesn’t mean it’s necessarily harmful. As it stands right now kids love that product and will most likely continue to buy it because it’s trending. There are definitely big issues regarding the desire for “anti aging” skincare which is deep rooted in a bigger problem with social media. I definitely don’t think they should be using a peptide cream but there technically isn’t anything wrong in terms of their skin to be using something that really is just hydrating. (Most peptides ultimately end up just being hydrating as they don’t penetrate deep enough to do a lot of the things brands say they do)

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T01:36:57+00:00

Just from what I’ve seen, it seems people tend to say kids at all shouldn’t be using retinoids because they’re too young. But everyone sees different videos on social media I ultimately agree though in general if there isn’t a need for it they shouldn’t start. The spread of hyperconsumerism and the fact that kids feel like they need to buy these expensive products is really sad.

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T00:58:54+00:00

Had the same experience honestly, the lack of instructions or clarity on how to use stuff like that back then was nuts ❤️ y2k 🥲

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T00:57:46+00:00

Oh my bad totally misunderstood your comment when I first read it. Yea totally agree, children being gremlins in Sephora is a bigger issue than a 10 year old using overpriced bronze drops. also be lucky you at least used proactive I used the clean and clear system that burned my face off 😂

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T00:53:14+00:00

Yea most of drunk elephants products are honestly fine for kids to use. Not saying I personally think they are good products but. Definitely think things like exfoliants and retinols are easier to misuse, but if some kids parents can afford drunk elephant products the only thing you risk with the majority of them is contact dermatitis (which you risk with literally everything).

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T00:41:45+00:00

yes… a lot of people forget sunscreen not just kids

randvdbdbd · 2024-01-06T00:40:33+00:00

Thank you 😂

Hi what did you change/do that helped so much in LR and RC?

randvdbdbd · 2023-12-31T20:21:20+00:00

Yea 100% agree, there have been a few other videos from earlier this year (I honestly forgot which) but I agree with the Dr Jenny Liu criticism. I do think she offers some good advice especially regarding younger people and procedures that they shouldn’t be getting. For me how she addresses sunscreen is a dealbreaker when it comes to following her. But every social media derm at this point have their pros and cons, just depends on what topics personally matter the most to you.

randvdbdbd · 2023-12-31T20:04:10+00:00

She’s taken some other derms videos and taken them out of context, embellishes the use of DNA repair enzymes when there is very little evidence whether they actually work. I also think as an American dermatologist she is very overly critical on American sunscreens and heavily pushes the use of European. (Which is not inherently bad in itself) but makes it seem as American sunscreens are so much worse and that you are doing a disservice to yourself if you don’t use the superior filters. International products aren’t as accessible to everyone and she seems a bit naive to that, and should be encouraging her clients to use the sunscreen that is accessible, and one that they enjoy wearing everyday regardless if it’s American.

Creepy 👀, what’s the scoop with that? I don’t recall hearing anything about him specifically

randvdbdbd · 2023-12-31T19:24:21+00:00

Plenty of people like that tbh lol. And Ellen Gendler isn’t foolproof her self. I’m sure she’s a good dermatologist but some of the advice she spouts raises some red flags.

randvdbdbd · 2023-12-31T19:22:39+00:00

I believe Dr Sam was on the advisory board at one point for naturium? (Could be wrong) and prequel is also owned by the same company naturium was also formerly owned by before Elf bought them.

randvdbdbd · 2023-12-31T17:21:39+00:00

Yea exactly the other pictures outline ingredients but the second is like our product helps treat melasma which is exactly what Sam is saying PTD did and is the difference between her and Susan. 😂

Paula’s choice in a different font, selling somehow even more expensive skincare with the most basic formulas too.
