I tried to access the website and it says the page cannot be found.

I can't remember where I saw it, unfortunately, maybe tiktok. It just looked different than the usual labels you see on shelves.

FOUND: it's Euthymol.

I have clothes from Walmart that I'm still wearing a decade later. I have an Oster blender that is around 30 years old. I have an $7 IKEA knife that is over 20 years old that cuts beautifully with occasional sharpening. I keep it out of the dishwasher. My Toyota Sienna is 23 years old, bought used. I'm sure if I had the patience to do a cost analysis, it would probably be eye-opening in a good way.

Share some of your "cheap but lasts forever" purchases that lasted because you take care of them.

I have no insurance and no PCP. I'm female and over 60. What I'm looking for is biomarkers, plus expert, scientifically-proven, and perhaps cutting-edge advice on how to become healthier without the pharmaceutical industry's involvement, more in the functional medicine style of healthcare. My motto has always been, "No doctor has ever cured me of anything," (except melanoma—surgery only) but I do rely on them to diagnosis and give me valuable information. Someone to answer questions and really listen.

I'm not on prescription meds, never have been (except antibiotics and temporary skin problems), and don't ever want to be on them for any length of time, except in emergencies. My main problem is crashing in the afternoons, and concerns about healthy aging.

I want expert advice on diet, lifestyle, aging healthy, and supplements. It may be that the tests will reveal something serious, at which point I'll reassess my approach, but the last time I tested (at a hospital in India) there was nothing that diet and exercise couldn't fix, so I'll proceed on that basis.

I may get a PCP when I'm eligible for Medicare (if I don't absolutely need one before then), but until that time, I'll be my own PCP, with the best advice I can afford to pay for.

Can anyone here relate and share what has worked for them? When I was on the HealthieOne website, for example, I wasn't getting the FM vibe so much, more like conventional treatment for issues, though it seems like a solid service. I just want something good, with reliable customer, and works with my approach to my health.

Thanks.

ETA: if anyone can recommend other subs where I could post this, I'd appreciate it. I'm sick of being on the fence and want to make a decision soon.

I bought some hypochlorous acid spray to deal with my heat-induced breakouts and folliculitis. I was hesitant about using it with The Ordinary regimen I'm following, so I called their customer service number.

My call went straight to a recording offering a promotion for a $100 gift card. There was no menu of other choices so I chose that.

I was greeted by the usual rep in a SEA call center, who said she would direct me to someone who could help, but did I want to get the gift card? Sure I said.

Then she asked for my name and home address, and my spidey sense began to tingle. I said, "Can I finish this process later?" at which point she immediately hung up on me.

I think the Ordinary's CS line has been hacked, but I could be mistaken. Can anyone shed light on this? In the meantime, beware.

Also, does anyone use hypochlorous acid with their Ordinary regimen?

I'm using Marine Hyaluronics, Hyaluronic Acid 2%+B5, and Natural Moisturizing Factors +HA. Also occasionally Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give.

Question in title. I've been taking it and experiencing a benefit, but I was wondering.
