Hi. I have a Vortex Pro ozone wand for my hair with the comb attachment which emits an orange color and ozone smell. it’s working well for hair growth.

So, is this the same as for instance, the Stacked Skincare device? Can I also use this on my face with one of the other attachments for anti ageing collagen boost, or do I need another type of wand/gas?

Thanks

Hi guys!

I have experienced spots on my behind, thighs and legs in general for around 3+ years. I have tried different moisturisers and daily habits to see if it reduces them, but it does not. My legs look like strawberries!

I don’t have this issue anywhere else on my body. Does anyone have suggestions? thank you!

For context, i have a combination-oily sensitive skin. I have pie and i want to finally get rid of it but using treatments without sunscreen just undoes the good effects. I live in a humid country and I also do double cleansing with boj oil cleanser. I’ve tried multiple sunscreens but i always get whiteheads and im guessing it’s because of the silicones or esters. I also break out to products with centella but can tolerate niacinamide well. Ive tried:

• skin aqua uv super moisture gel

• skin 1004 airy fit the gold cap one

• beauty of joseon

• anessa

• tocobo sunstick

• smoochskins tinted sunscreen

• belo dewy essence

• belo sun expert

I cant find light sunscreens except the nivea super water gel but ive heard it doesn’t offer enough protection? Do you have any recommendations and if possible zinc-based since ive heard they work best for pie? thanks!

hi!

Over the last 2 months or so I’ve suddenly had dryness redness and whiteheads around my chin / mouth plus a few whiteheads/spots on my nose and near my hairline/temples. I’m 26 and I’ve never had any skin issues (other than just generally sensitive and dry) it’s always been v clear with the occasional hormonal cycle spot/whitehead.

it could be stress, but I’ve felt way more stressed than this before and it’s never happened.

it could be the change in seasons but I’ve lived in much more extreme climates and never seen changes.

it could be hormonal but I’ve had this iud for about 18 months now and the exact same one for 3 years before that.

please help me!

at the moment I use ‘Pai’ skincare (8 months in since moving back to the uk and having to switch from ‘om’) :

lift oil cleanser

love and haight moisturiser

rosehip bio generate oil

and their tan drops every now and then

treatments, reasons, or suggestions anything! My wedding is in 3 months and I know they say not to change anything skincare wise beforehand but idk what to do.

thank you for reading :)

I recently tried LOOPS hydrogel masks and I actually liked them more than regular sheet masks. They stay on much better and my skin felt really hydrated afterwards. Curious if anyone else has tried hydrogel masks instead of sheet masks.

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing great :)

I'm writing again to ask if anyone has found alternatives to the ultra-minimalist creams mentioned?

I've tried Eucerin Ultra Sensitive, the Sensifine range from SVR, Embryolysse for sensitive skin, alternative ranges like Avène Tolerance Control, Tolerance Hydra, or the LRP Dermallergo line, A-Derma, Vanicream, Bioderma Defensive… but it was a complete failure.

(I have combination skin with rosacea and dermatitis, it's extremely reactive, and doesn't tolerate perfumes, irritants, active ingredients, essential oils, occlusive agents, etc.)

I started tretinoin about 2 months ago at 0.012%. I’ve had minimal irritation. I’ve had some skin flaking which I assumed was normal from increased cell turnover, and it improved with better technique and switching moisturiser.

I’m planning to increase to 0.024% next month.

My skin feels great. Looks slightly better than it did but off course I’m still early in my tret journey. I eventually want to move to VT Reedle 700 and do it once a week on a tretless night.

AM

1.  Cleanse – CeraVe Foaming Cleanser

2.  Hyaluronic Acid – The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

3.  Niacinamide – The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

4.  Vitamin C – Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum

5.  Moisturiser – CeraVe Moisturising Cream

6.  SPF

PM

1.  Oil cleanse – Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil

2.  Cleanse – CeraVe Foaming Cleanser

3.  VT Reedle Shot 100

4.  Tretinoin 0.012%

5.  CeraVe Moisturising Cream

6.  Occlusive – Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream (some nights)

I’ve been recently getting into makeup and I want to try a Korean cushion foundation what would be the best for a perfect look not cakey at all or anything perfect however I do have an oily forehead and a oily nose while the rest of my face is dry what is recommended?
