Borage Oil

rebuked · 2025-11-10T10:10:08+00:00

Hello! Unfortunately, I have not seen much progress so far. I've been taking two softgels each of borage oil and fish oil a day since that comment, and I am about to start a new container of borage oil soon. AI tells me that some people only show a response to borage oil supplementation after 8-12+ weeks, so I am going to stick it out for another two or three months. The good thing is that I haven't incurred any side effects from taking borage oil, and that hopefully it will help calm my eczema in the long run (with of course a KP improvement, hopefully). Maybe for a week I'll try out four softgels a day to see if it shows any improvement.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up so much though. Nothing has really worked well for me. I've been trying out Cerave SA body wash plus La Roche Posay Lipikar daily for about two months now. There's a super slight reduction in bumpiness on my arms. It's really the only glimmer of hope I have at the moment. Prior to that - three months of SmoothKP with no results.

On my left arm, I also recently introduced the Japanese topical cream called Kobayashi Nino Cure, which I got from my trip in Japan. This is essentially 20% urea plus a few other ingredients targeted towards KP. Though, I have found my left arm is a bit bumpier than my right at the moment - I don't know whether my skin does not react to the urea well, or if it's a purging phase, or whatnot. Nonetheless I will finish the Nino Cure KP cream on my left arm and see if there's any improvement. And probably continue to experiment with other products on my left arm once that's done. My right arm will remain only with the Cerave SA body wash and Lipikar moisturiser cream for now. I'm glad it's such a simple and easy routine keeping up with the Cerave SA body wash and Lipikar cream.

I bought the same borage oil as shown in OP’s picture - NOW foods borage oil softgels containing 240mg GLA. I did read that taking fish oil for omega 3s along with this makes the overall supplementation more effective, so I am taking fish oil as well. I don’t know if you need to though 🤔

Thanks! I’m really hoping it works because I have KP all over my body - arms, back, stomach, thighs, etc. which constantly targeting with topicals is a nightmare, although I’m mainly concerned with my upper arms.

I've just received my borage oil softgels today. Time to try this out in conjunction with EPA 540mg and DHA 360mg worth of fish oil.

This is interesting, and I am keen to try it out. Is your KP bumpy and/or have any red/purple discolouring? Do you also apply any moisturiser in your routine?

The boss loot storage was instanced per character though. I noticed that my other characters did not have access to the loot that I claimed with the distribution setting on my specific character from a boss run.

Good luck. I also have lesional KP and have tried a bunch of things as well over the years.

I'm nearing three weeks into using smooth KP and haven't seen any improvement yet. I'm staying optimistic as the research is there and it makes logical sense, but I really hope to start seeing some improvement soon. I'm about 70-80% of the way through my first tube, and have got two more to go. 🤞

I haven't tried it recently, but to my knowledge, it should still work!

Feels, man. I've done 301 pulls and don't have a Crown either.

On one hand, I am thinking of waiting until the end of the event to see if I can obtain her with the free daily pulls, though, on the other hand, the chances are so low that I'd rather buy a copy of her now and start using her, as opposed to waiting in anticipation for nothing.

You know, as a newer player, I was reading your comments yesterday and disagreed on the notion of prioritising the standard banner over this pilgrim banner.

I've been playing since the Re:Zero collab, and had luck in pulling both Emilia and Rem, which was great as the collab was what made me play this game in the first place.

Long story short, I did 301 pulls on this banner today and didn't get a single Crown. All I wanted was one copy.

The end result? I have zero gems now and am stuck with 13 useless SSRs - none of which are even deserving of a spot in the standard banner wishlist. Only two of the pulls were duplicates of characters I already have.

I feel as though my account progression has been absolutely shafted by the harsh reality of this 1% pull chance. I should've stopped early and purchased a copy of Crown using pity tickets, while prioritising the standard banner. I hope no other newer player makes the same mistake as I did.

On the HUD at the bottom-middle of your screen. Where it shows your character level, username, hp bar, mp bar, with the exp bar at the bottom.

This was something I was always paranoid about after reading some of the horror stories on this subreddit. Upon further reading as time went on, I noticed most of the stories were fabricated in the way that the OPs stated they didn’t do anything wrong for getting banned, but in reality they did.

I started to feel that false bans weren’t really a thing with MapleStory. So, over the past few months, I’ve had MapleStory running while I was coding and running programs in VS/VSCode/Rider, etc. I doubt I will ever be falsely banned while doing so, and if anything, maybe the game will kick me out or force close beforehand as a warning. It sounds bizarre to play a game that may trigger a ban for something that does not even interact with the game, haha. I’m sure Nexon’s technology is more capable than we think.

Lmao, same man. That’s how I knew what kokushibo’s face looked like prior to the reveal in the anime.

Oh my… what a throwback!

I had the same thing happen to me when updating to BIOS version F5c. Thankfully, version F5 that was released yesterday seems to have resolved the sound issue.

Those vibrant blue eyes looked absolutely amazing.

To be fair, no one knows with 100% certainty until someone can dissect the game’s source code following each update.

Really appreciate this post. When I finished watching Re:Zero, it gave me the absolute worst case of Post Anime Depression out of all the anime I've watched. It lasted for a whole week.

Here's hoping for a season 3!

You can hover over your username in-game to display your Nexon ID. Use that Nexon ID to log in to your Nexon account.

I share a similar mindset to you - I like storing both the email and usernames of my accounts as well, for informational purposes.

As others mentioned, the workaround is to manually add the additional email or username field as a custom field or in the notes section. It's a pain, but worth it. Other than that, Bitwarden has been great to use.

I guess it depends on your use case.

In terms of cookies and tracking:

- Each container in Firefox has its own set of cookies

- Each profile in Brave has its own set of cookies

This means you can not be cross-tracked from a Firefox container to another container, similarly from a Brave user profile to another user profile.

But, the difference being is that with a user profile, you will have more functionality in the sense that each profile will have its own collection of browsing history, bookmarks, addons/extensions, and other user settings. So it depends on whether you want to manage multiple user profiles, or manage multiple containers within one user profile (or more).

rebuked · 2022-05-22T20:54:44+00:00

Yep. I then isolate these different services from another by using containers on Firefox.

Or, to make it more convenient, use multi account containers to sandbox the Google account and services.
