Been looking for a holy grail face moisturizer for dry skin but most of the stuff people recommend seems to be for people with just a little dryness. I need something for actual, deep dry skin moisturizing not just a light lotion. So far I have tried the basic CeraVe and La Roche Posay the cicaplast one, but they didn't really help. My skin still feels parched and tight almost immediately. My routine is super basic just a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, i even tried layering oils and heavier balms for better moisturizing, which helps for a bit, but I still don’t feel hydrated throughout the day. I’m just desperate for something that actually works and keeps my skin soft for more than five minutes.

So yeah, what would you say is the best moisturizer for dry skin, especially if you’ve dealt with really flaky, stubborn patches?

This literally just happened and I am shaking typing this. I have been testing these AI trading tools everyone raves about, you know the ones promising to spot patterns and execute better than humans. Figured it was hype but thought why not try on a small account with 50k, set some basic parameters like max 2% risk per trade on SPY options.

Set it up Friday afternoon, let it scan for setups based on some momentum signals it suggested. Went to grab dinner, came back, it had placed a few small calls, nothing crazy, up a bit. Felt good, so I left it running overnight thinking the AI would handle limits properly.

Woke up this morning to an alert, checked my platform, and it had somehow scaled into a massive 25k long position on NVDA calls expiring this week. Turns out the tool misinterpreted a news blip about earnings hype, ignored my risk params because of some high conviction signal, and kept averaging up as it dipped slightly premarket. Account is down 8k already, margin call looming if it gaps down.

I shut it off but the damage is done, positions still open because closing now would realize most losses. These AI tools are supposed to help but this feels like straight sabotage.

so rolling out ZTNA to replace VPN. coverage looked complete based on tests and dashboard metrics. announced VPN removal and enforced ZTNA only. but after the change, users could not access several on-prem systems. ERP and file servers were unreachable. issue traced to ZTNA policy excluding non-HTTP traffic. RDP and other legacy protocols were not included.

remote users on VPN still had access. users on ZTNA did not. rollback required re-enabling VPN.

during rollback a firewall change blocked outbound traffic for a short period. services recovered after correction.

root issue was incomplete validation of legacy apps and protocol coverage. testing focused on HTTP/S and a limited set of use cases. hybrid access paths were not fully exercised.

any soloutions..?

we moved to a SASE platform last year expecting to consolidate networking and security into one place. the pitch was fewer tools and simpler operations. in practice im still managing firewall policies, ZTNA access rules, and SDWAN behavior separately.

the bigger issue is these aren’t actually one policy model. firewall, access, and routing decisions are still handled separately under the hood. changes in one area don’t always carry over cleanly to the others.

troubleshooting got harder too. when something breaks it’s not obvious if it’s routing, policy, or identity causing it. everything sits behind one interface but the decision points are still split.

the expectation internally was one control plane. what we ended up with feels like multiple systems exposed through a single UI.

i keep hearing that consolidation comes over time, but we’ve been running this long enough that the operational overhead hasn’t really dropped. still spending the same effort tracking where decisions are being made.

anyone actually reduce tool count after moving to SASE? or did it just shift into managing different layers in the same platform?
