Hey there! Putting in an order at shoppers during this spend your points event (husband wants a Xbox but THATS not happening lolz). What are some serums that you have been loving that are available via shoppers? Looking for hydration and potentially a new lactic acid option. TIA!!

Anyone else have something similar. This is on top of my hand...had it for as long as I can remember. I thought it was a birthmark but my mom says she doesn't remember me having it as a baby/child. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It does not hurt at all.

If you live in Canada, do you know how /where to get 20% Azelaic acid ? Also, what azelaic products have you used & what’d you think ?

Did you guys use Biacna after three months? My doctor prescribed me it only for three months. Also did it help with your PIE acne scars ?

4 winters in Canada, $1000+ spent on skincare and I'm still searching for the perfect winter routine for my dry skin. If you're a fellow dry skin warrior, please share your routine.

Current routine: (job : WFH) AM

• Cetaphil facewash
• Inkey list omega water cream
• Azelaic acid 15% spot treatment

PM

• Bioderma Micellar water
• LRP Lipikar surgras facewash
• Inkey list omega water cream
• Azelaic acid 15% spot treatment

Issues : Too dry, clogged pores, moisturiser too light

Any skincare products you've tried from E.L.F that have been faves or fails?

And do you have any concerns with using their skin care given the products are made in China?

I’m a 40f and started using a small Canadian brand cream called “no more makeup skin corrector.” I came upon it a few weeks ago on Instagram and it’s made a huge difference for my skin. It has medical grade honey in it and its greatly reduced my hormonal acne that I’ve had since puberty. Nothing else has helped to this extent including retinoids and Spironolactone. I can now go without concealer on my skin which is a huge feat for me. It’s super heavy and feels a little sticky on the skin, but it is incredibly moisturizing. I bought it on a whim after my first microneedle treatment. I also use it for lash growth support as it can be used in the eyelids and eye hollows. My lashes are thicker. It’s an amazing lip balm and eye cream as well. I will be buying this as long as it is in business. I’ve been telling everyone I know about it.

Is anyone else on Tretinoin cream and noticed the shortage in Canada? I'm so close to finishing my last tube and I've called everywhere. The shortage has been ongoing for over 3 months now. My mom is going to a court where its OTC and I wanted her to bring back some but I found out that it's illegal I'm not exactly sure what to do. Any advice?

EDIT: Found a Tube in one of the last pharmacies in my city!!!! Yippieeeeee!!! Thank you to everyone who responded regardless!!

Hi, I’m currently on Accutane and my face is really dry so I was thinking of buying the ilia skin tint because I’ve heard that it’s really good for dry skin. I was wondering if anyone who’s on Accutane has tried it and whether they recommend it cause I saw a couple of post saying that it caused people to break out and I don’t wanna risk any break outs

So I got microneedling the second time the first I got was 5 weeks ago and was so pleased with the results my skin was glowing literally the next day it was looking plump and so Healthy the microneedling was done with PRP I thought I would keep up with the monthly sessions I got it done on Monday and the second day my skin was looking dry dehydrated and dull it was sensitive to touch and now I’m on day 3 my skin is still looking and feeling extremely dry and dull I regret having it done it’s so sensitive I can see the puncture marks on the skin. And just feel so ugly and old what do I do. I’m applying nothing because last session I applied nothing for 1 week and still looked great any one else been through this

New to retinol

Hi im 24 y/o and I have used the A313 retinol and my face is inflamed with acne ik there purging but since a backed off of it the inflammation went away and and its not firery red and itchy

Is there a better option something of a lower dose that won't cause irritation I think the A313 is .12% strength idk going to a .1% would be worth it or go to something low strength like .01% or .02%

Idk what brand is good

If someone can spit some game and tell me what's a good retinol with the strength % it will highly appreciated😊 bc idk wtf im doing 😭😭

Heyy girlies out there. Can anyone suggest me a good moisturizer for oily/ acne prone skin. I’m struggling to look for one.

My mom likes to buy me a skincare gift set for Christmas. Usually I give her some options from Sephora but I'm not really feeling them this year. Since I am trying to avoid Shoppers, I was wondering where else to look.

Has anyone been to the mall and noticed if The Body Shop has any Black Friday sales going on? I like to pick up a few body moisturizers every year ☺️ With the restructuring, their website and socials have had no new info since February-ish. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone shopped directly for neom? They do ship to Canada and offer free shipping over 150 USD but I cant see if they pay for duties/customs or if it’s even included.

Hello, Iam 32 yr, I dont use skincare usually because of my tough routine but I have noticed recently my face is sagging and drooping mouth from both side and lines are so prominent. Kindly recommend skincare routine and anti aging products both affordable and non affordable options and Black Friday deals. Thanks

I have recently gotten HIFU Ultraformer done and I immediately had painless white ulcers to show on the inside on my cheeks. They are painless but it just makes me wonder if this is a normal reaction as I haven’t seen anything online. The practitioner, besides having voiced their surprise with the side effect, has advised that they “believe” this to be normal

I've been seeing this brand pop up in lots of med spas and dermatologist offices and I'm curious about it. However, the price certainly tops Skinceuticals.

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has found a good replacement for the discontinued Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Moisturizer. It’s the only moisturizer that didn’t cause my skin to break out, and I can’t figure out why. I currently use the Vanicream cleanser and Complex 15 cream, but both of these, along with the Cetaphil Oil-Free Lotion and Daily Hydrating Lotion, have caused breakouts for me.

I’m dealing with closed comedones, little red spots, and recently, even small cysts under the skin. I’m feeling so frustrated and desperate—any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi I'm 23 and I've never cared about my skin. Now I am trying to change that! However I have no idea where to start. I'm willing to do as many steps as my skin needs. I have combination skin with acne, acne scarring, and large pores. Any help in creating a good routine for me would be greatly appreciated!!

Hey everyone! Looking for black friday / cyber monday deals on Biologique Recherche. Planning to get P50 and masque vivant! Does anyone know if there are any websites or online stores currently (or planning to) offer discounts?

I'm looking for any advice on nurse injectors or Dr's that ppl personally recommend from experience in / Vancouver Abbotsford mission BC/

Hi!

I have a sunscreen that just makes me look very greasy so I need a powder to go from greasy to "dewy". Admittedly, l've been a bit cheap lately and just have been using plain cornstarch for the past week.

It's great in the sense that it's very lightweight, mattifying, and hasn't caused me any acne at all... it's just SO drying. Do you guys have any recommendations to a basically less drying setting powder? My budget is up to 25$.

Thanks!

Fellow Canadian here and I was just told by my coworker that shoppers has some good deals on perfumes. I realized that I need to stock up a bit on some skincare which is running out (my cerave moisturizer and cerave hydrating cleanser). I also realized I am close to running out of shampoo, conditioner and hair mask 🥲

What skincare sales should I be on the lookout?
