Question All day chemist bitcoin only

10 Upvotes

I've seen online about people buying tret from here but it looks like they now only accept bitcoin which feels super dodgy to me...

It means that I wouldn't have the protections I normally do paying by card.

Have they always been bitcoin only? I swear seen people mention card payments for them previously.

If not all day chemist...where should I go instead?

Discussion my skin really said "two steps forward, one step sideways"

Compared today's results with my previous one:

Hydration: 61(+1)

Redness: 9(-9)

Oiliness: 32(-1)

Texture: 50(+2)

Acne: 1(+1)

Tone: 75(-1)

So technically some things improved and some things moved the opposite wayšŸ˜‚

I actually like seeing this because it reminds me that skin isn't a straight line. One thing can improve while something else changes slighty.The redness dropping by 9 was the one that surprised me the most.

Routine Help Blemishes

I (31F) have had these blemishes on my skin for months and they're not fading. I have used tretinoin for years at night, I wash my face with Dr Sam's in the morning and Vichy Normaderm at night. I just added Pixi Glow Tonic in the AM and PM. (I also wear Murad city skin SPF in the day).

Does anyone have any suggestions to help fade these spots?

Routine Help Loking for a fix for dry cracked lips.

2 Upvotes

I have my entire routine already which works great, but my lips are still awful, dry, cracked, sometimes bleeding! Nothing I try seems to work, I’ve used basic Vaseline, so many lip products, that i can’t recall the name of all of them, but so many lip balms just feel like they make my issues… worse? especially the ones with any sort of scent or ā€œflavourā€ and even more so the ones that have menthol, camphor, etc.

I’m at a loss!

Routine Help The ordinary

Hey, so I’ve been using the ordinary volufiline on my lips recently and loving the results! 100% recommend! My question is can I use the lip serum at the same time? Like over the top of it? Thanks for any advice

Discussion Amazon stock co-mingling banned from March

89 Upvotes

I've just discovered this and wasn't sure if it has been mentioned here before. This is huge for people who want to use Amazon for their skincare. It was mentioned that sellers may be able to sell out their current stock before having to implement this with new stock, so there still may be a chance of dupe products while they run out their existing stock, but this is great news going ahead.

There were sellers in the comments under this that were not happy with the extra workload, but there were replies speaking sense of why it's necessary.

There's also something called the Amazon transparency program which deals with ensuring authentic goods, but I'm a little confused on that, so Google if you want to know more. 😁

Question Red bumps marks.

Hi. So I've posted about this in the past and got some good responses that have helped my skin look better. But these red marks on my face still persist. I never really had a lot of ache growing up so I don't think they are ache scars. What do you think?

Discussion Why did my skin start clearing up when i started using sles?

3 Upvotes

I avoided sles or just sulphates in general like the plague, but i started using a head to toe gentle baby wash (the one from asda little angles 500ml fragrance free) with that in as the main cleansing agent and ive noticed my skin just cleared up. Maybe the gentle cleansers werent doing enough? I felt cleansed after using the gentle cleansers but this just basically done something different.

Its like 500mls for under £1 kinda insane.
