Hello! 2-3x na siguro to dumaan sa fyp ko sa tiktok and medyo nabo-bother ako every time because omg grabe sa AI.

Like every other reader, the owner of the account may just want to visualize their favorite stories pero I don’t think AI is the way to do it. There are so many talented artists in the jonaxx fandom and they always make sure to give the characters justice.

Hindi ako artist, but I know their works take a lot of time and effort. Medyo nadidismaya lang ako pag nakakakita ng ganyang AI content. Because yeah, they look similar sa mga features ng characters but AI kasiii🥹🥹 I even tried commenting on their post about the use of AI pero na-block ako HAHAHA

What are your thoughts on this?

Main Concern:
I’ve been using Epiduo Forte for more than a month now. I followed my derma’s advice to start slowly. Thankfully, wala naman akong na-experience na stinging, burning, dry patches or anything really. Siguro very very slight redness lang pag ina-apply but it’s so minimal na hindi ko nga napapansin.

So far, ang na-notice ko lang while using Epiduo Forte is that I always wake up na very very oily ang face ko, especially sa T-zone. As in, hindi ko pa namumuklat yung mata ko, ramdam ko na yung oils sa face ko hahaha.

So nagwo-wonder lang ako if ganon ba talaga? Iniisip ko na baka nasosobrahan ako sa moisturizer, pero kasi gel type naman yung SkinHero and very lightweight naman and mabilis ma-absorb ng face ko. (++ very simple lang din yung ingredients niya kaya hindi irritating:)

And then may nakita ako na sandwich method but using serums. Instead of moisturizer -> epiduo forte -> moisturizer, I’ll use yung barrier serum ko so, centella ampoule -> epiduo forte -> moisturizer. Puwede ba yun? Para daw hindi occlusive sa skin and mas ma-absorb better yung retinoid??? Should I do this instead? Mas okay ba yung ganitong method?

Also, hindi din ako sure sa gamit ko na sunscreen. I really have a hard time finding sunscreens. Gusto ko kasi yung mataas ang UV protection so either mineral or hybrid sunscreen talaga tinatry ko. I think okay naman ako sa UV protection and ingredients ng Dr. sensitive pero meron kasing Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which is a water-soluble form of Vitamin C and also Tocopheryl Acetate na shelf-friendly form ng Vitamin E. Na-mention kasi ng derma ko na wag na muna gumamit ng other actives, so okay lang ba yun na may other forms ng Vit C&E sa sunscreen na gamit ko?

Please stop using AI
