How is everyone interpreting the ending? Bear was about to throw up the pill, even after knowing that is the only way to end the wish. It shows how he at his core is, does not care about Nikki and consequences of his action.

But do you think Bear’s action of not throwing up after Nikki breaks the wish willow was because - (a) the not-Bear does not know Bear has taken the pill and is in another conscience at that moment, or (b) the wish makes him truly love Nikki and decides that dying is the only way to free her ???

Hey guys !

I want to address my uneven skin tone issues. My skin care currently is limited to only hydrating and supporting toners, serums & moisturiser.

I want to slowly introduce azelaic acid into my routine. Has anyone with sensitive / barrier issues reacted negatively to say 15% azelaic acid? Not only immediately but over time as well.

Also, my intent is to only address the uneven skin tone issue for now. And I am not confident about introducing Vit C or tret into my routine yet. Any other product which you suggest can be used that’s more suitable to us sensitive skin folks?

So I am recovering from a bad eczema flare up. It got triggered due to dry weather conditions. And when I say bad, it got really bad. After using steroid and making other wrong choices, I finally simplified my routine and it helped in my skin recovery to a large extent:

1. Reduced using skin cleanser to minimum. Use only water as much as possible and other times use oats based non foaming cleanser.
2. Apply Cosrx peptide serum, aloe vera gel and Aveeno moisturiser as frequent as possible
3. Apply LRP Cicaplast at night time.

This helped in controlling the flare up to quite a large extent but my dry, flaky and irritated skin around my mouth area is not recovering completely. I wanted to check if any specific holy grail product helped you with the dry flaky skin issues and its maintenance over time.

Is it just me? I have read only raving reviews about this product for people with compromised barrier, inflammation and dryness.

During my latest atopic dermatitis flare-up I gave in and bought one for myself. Did not work at all for me. And I have some doubts that it was rather making it worse. Then I switched to Aveeno and that saved me.

Anyone else faced similar issue and figured out why?

I am facing with one bad case of flair up - tight, red inflamed and itchy skin with flaky (now) / crusts (during the initial month) - around mouth, eyes and neck. This was triggered at the end of winter and I live in a dry dry city. This could be mistaken as perioral dermatitis but it’s not.
During the first 2 weeks I applied metronidazole and an ointment containing Fluticasone Propionate and Mupirocin. The initial results were good but the flair up kept coming back and I could not keep using the steroid cream.
So I went to the basics. (1) Stopped using face wash and every 2-3 days using non-foaming oat based cleanser. Else use only water to clean. (2) Using aloe Vera gel as frequently as possible (I have a plant at home so using that for now). (3) Oat moisturiser frequently (Aveeno one). (4) Stopped using Vaseline for now (read somewhere that it could cause to trap in the bacteria). (5) Stopped using every other product I usually apply.
And now my skin finally feels calmer and breathing. I am so happy with the results.
Just sharing in case someone is going through the same issue and needs it.
