Last year, I fucked up my skin barrier by using too many expensive products that contain 7000 ingredients. Had to cease all skincare except for face wash and moisturizer - CeraVe healed me (plus a bunch of steroid creams). When I was finally able to introduce products back into the routine, my derm recommended this retinol because it is chill and has few ingredients. Works super well & does not irritate my skin at all.

Cerave Healing Ointment is Vaseline’s superior. The whole “Cerave is better than the shit at Sephora that costs 200 dollars and has fragrances that are bad for your skin” stuff is well covered territory so we won’t go over it.. Anyway after putting on all my skincare shit I will put a very thick layer of Cerave Healing Ointment all over my entire face. Every night.I use Retin-A so my face hurts really bad all the time and is peeling and dry. Which I guess is supposed to be a good thing. Here are other things that help with that:Face Hero oilSulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Ginseng MaskHada Labo Hyaluronic AcidI can’t use it any more due to what I was saying about my face being on fire but I really recommend Paula’s Choice 2% BHA. and also all her other products. Reliable brand. If you just want to go to one place and get everything you need, we trust her. Nothing is going to irritate your skin or have anything dumb in it.

This one's for the girlies (and anyone else who's into skincare) - as an elder, I wish I had committed to using retin-a (tretinoin) sooner. some things I like about tret are:
1 - not having to pay attention to the million new products out there, I have become immune to marketing (I still get to try new moisturizers, HAs, and Vit C serums)
2 - it makes you remember to wear your sunscreen daily, I'd be terrible about that otherwise
3 - no more fine lines (if you don't have any, using will delay you getting them)
4 - you can now order it online from most places without having to spend money on a derm
5 - a tube will last longer than most products from sephora and costs as much/less - more bang for your buck
6 - supposed to be good for acne, I cannot report on that, but others swear by it
i've generally had good skin and get the "you're how old? noooo" but I wish I had committed in my early 30s to build the habit and do more preventative maintenance.
yes the purge/peeling sucks, but once you get on the other side supple babyface glass skin awaits you.

Slap some on a piece of matzo with cucumber and a smear of yellow mustard. Surely I did not invent this combo, but it is divine and a top tier snack / light meal.

I own this pant in 3 colors. It leaves nothing to be desired. I need garments to fit perfectly no matter how bloated or starved I am, so the adjustable belted waist is essential. Sturdy and deep pockets. Ideal leg width. Gusseted crotch for comfort and to avoid unbecoming lumpiness. Great weight of cotton twill perfect for cuffing or not. Under $100. no notes.
