    Seeking anti-aging injectables (Bay Area)

    I’m in my 40s and finally ready to address some deep forehead lines and maybe marionette too. I use a Nuface device, retinoids/ acids routine and am generally happy with the results but think it’s time to do more. My (younger) sister had a threads procedure in Korea and looks great. I’m not sure I’m ready for that level of intervention or investment!

    Areas of concern include jawline sag and under eye hollows as well. Skin~wise I’m also wondering what I can do to combat redness around the base of nose and cheek area.
    I use sunscreen etc, I think issues are due more to simply aging, stress, alcohol (and of course I’m doing what I can to mitigate the last two). I also live in the Bay Area where no women I know have ever brought up their experience with injectables. My other communities elsewhere are a lot more open and sharing about it. So I’m interested in what people have liked for those issues- price point etc! Things to watch out for?

    I can’t make reviews on Cultbeauty

    I have tried several times to leave reviews on cult beauty on different products and strangely enough they don’t show up.

    I haven’t found anything on the website making some disclaimer to this. Indeed it is marked that the reviews need to be verified. However there are too many trials that I made and none successful.

    Is someone else experiencing the same ?

    Which is more effective for antiaging? Tazarotene over the top of petrolatum or tretinoin 0.025% directly on the face under moisturizer?

    I saw Dr.Dray say in a video that tazarotene over the top of an occlusive like petroleum would still be effective on your skin.

    However, I saw a video where someone said that they do see an improvement in their wrinkles when they apply tretinoin to the under eyes at night, or in other words, directly onto sensitive areas of the face.

    Which got me thinking might it be more effective to apply tret 0.025% to the face directly where ever your able opposed a higher strength tret over the top of an occlusive only on areas to the face your able to tolerate?

    I have personally been about to tolerate tretinoin 0.025%, sandwiched between moisturizer around the eyes, nightly, just fine.

    I’ve recently moved to the tretinoin 0.05% for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I apply it sandwiched between my moisturizer and after a year I’m still only able to apply it every other night. Applying it nightly makes me too dry and red around my mouth.

    I do understand that studies claim that moving up in tretinoin percentages doesn’t really change the antiaging benefits.

    In regards to antiaging, would it be more beneficial for me to move up to the higher strength percentages of retin a like the tazarotene over the top of an occlusive like petroleum or would it be more beneficial for me to just stick to the tret 0.025% that way I can apply it right on top of my moisturizer to my whole face?

    I realize I haven’t started to use tazarotene yet and it’s possible that it would adjust to my face with no irritation, however, I assume because I am having more irritation with the tret 0.05%, more then I did the tret 0.025%, I’m assuming I’ll likely have more irritation with higher percentages of retin a and I’d have to apply it over the top of an occlusive, like petroleum, if I desired to use it.

    Replacement for KVD Fetish palette?

    I know it’s been discontinued for a long long while but this palette has lasted me literal years! I always reach for it first because it’s so pigmented and I love the colors, but I’m not even all the way through to the bottom of the pans.

    I recently made the mistake of shifting my makeup things into my bathroom, and now there’s mold growing on it so I’ve had to toss it.

    Do you guys have any recommendations for a replacement palette? I’m willing to splurge, especially since this palette has lasted me almost a decade 😬

    Magnetic lashes keep “slipping/sliding” down from my lash line?

    I’ve started wearing magnetic lashes and I’m not sure if I’m applying them properly, but they seem to be somewhat shimmying down my lashes? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you go about fixing it? TIA.

    Is there a “no wrong choice” beauty product I can buy as a gift for my date?

    Apologies in advance if this goes a bit off-topic but I’m need of some help when it comes to choosing a present for a girl (who’s also my colleague at work) I went on a date with last week. We got the next one set up already for tomorrow and I’m frankly at a loss because I want to buy her something thoughtful that she’ll use. Now, I already gifted her a couple of games (and she me lol) on Steam because we’re both heavy gamers but I want the next present to be something more tangible and honestly just practically useful lol

    I’ve been thinking along the lines of maybe a perfume, but I don’t know what she’d like. She’s a bit alt (listens to neofolk/symphonic metal) so I’m thinking there might be a specific fragrance to tie in with that. I’m just clueless as to what she’d like. She complimented me once on my Terre d’Hermes dupe (Hero) that I got from Chez Pierre last week, but I frankly have no idea what she’d like for herself. Maybe that’s better left for when I get to know her personal preferences better… She does like coffee and deep, earthy smells (nothing *too* sweet) from what we talked, so that’s something to go off of.

    So I’d like to ask you — would it be weird for me, as a guy, to buy her quality eyeliner, or a quirky, darkish bronzer or stuff like that as a gift? Would you like it as a date present, or would you consider it “pushy”, ie. aggressively pushing her to what I’d like her to use? I might be overthinking this, but I really need a hint here. Any help appreciated!

    Products like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting holiday palettes?

    Does anybody have any recommendations for palettes like the Hourglass holiday releases? I think they’re beautiful but I don’t want to support a company who year after year refuses to release darker shades (especially if they might not even work on me). Dupes don’t necessarily have to be cheaper. I’m open to spending money if the product is worth it.

    Maybe a stupid question but… how do some girls make their eyebrows look like this? Is it a certain style of makeup? Is it just the way they grow? Is it a beauty procedure?

    Grande Lash vs Latisse? Other lash growth serum recs?

    I struggle with trichotillomania so I don’t have many eyelashes rn. I tried the grande lash eyelash growth serum but it irritated my eyes. I’m looking into Latisse, but I don’t want that to also irritate my eyes. I know they share some ingredients but based on my research, I know that Latisse has way less ingredients than Grande Lash.

    Grande Lash has a fuck ton of ingredients that shouldn’t go anywhere near your eyes (FR idk how it’s legal to sell this) and that I know I’m sensitive to as I’ve had different types of products that go on external body parts that I am sensitive to.

    This doesn’t look to be the case with Latisse and I like that it has a low Ph. I’ve probably gotten stuff with a higher Ph than that in my eye so this doesn’t seem like anything that would give me permanent eye irritation.

    Also, Latisse was originally prescribed for glaucoma before the hair growth effects were noticed and people who’ve lose lashes due to chemo have used Latisse. So I assume it’s safe.

    Has anyone had experiences with grande lash and/or Latisse? Do you have any other lash serums you’d recommend (ones that don’t have glycerin, alcohol, propylene glycol).

    Honestly I can’t comprehend why any product that goes on your body, especially something that goes near your eyes, has those ingredients.
