Review of Numbuzin 5 Serum

Review of Numbuzin 5 Serum

Wanted to try this serum out after hearing some good reviews - for context, I have sensitive, dry, somewhat acne prone skin. I have an oily t-zone and struggle with some hyperpigmentation resulting from past breakouts, and deal with texture in the form of pores and congestion.

My hope with this product was that I could even my complexion and lighten my dark spots. I patch tested on my neck and my forearm, and all seemed well.

I used it for a little less than a week, applying it to lightly damp skin after cleansing and then layering my usual moisturizer on top. Immediately I saw the development of a few blemishes, which weren’t restricted to my typical breakout areas.

However, I kept using it in case something else was responsible (I.e. period, stress, diet).

The blemishes persisted! Around day five I decided to quit using the serum and instead chose to go back to my precious Finacea.. and after two days, the blemishes are calming down significantly!

To the serum’s credit, it did feel really nice while on the skin. It didn’t sting or itch or anything, and despite the blemishes I felt that it made me look quite radiant for the first day or two. However, before I decided to call it quits, I did notice a bit of redness around my nose..

I’m going to give it to my mom to try out, as she has hardier skin than I and I think she could get some good use out of this.

So, how does my experience compare to yours?

Help my 52 year old Mother!

Hi all!

My mom, 52, is feeling really down about her skin. I think that she is absolutely gorgeous, and many people think that she is younger than she really is.. but she has some of the typical signs of aging, i.e fine lines, looser skin, spots and some dullness. Her skin is also on the dryer side, and she isn’t too sensitive to most ingredients.

She is going to start using tretinoin, but otherwise her routine is pretty well non-existent.

So, if you could create a routine for her, what products would you recommend? I’m thinking cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and spf.. but anything you can think of will be appreciated!

We’re also aware that, truthfully, the only thing to REALLY make a difference would be the more invasive treatments.. but I know that skincare would be a start!

Any and all help and advice is appreciated. What are your HGs for aging skin? Thank you so much!

*ONLY* XEQT?

Hi all! I (21F) just started investing in early August of this year, and so far I’ve basically put all 7k of my TFSA and all 8k of my FHSA into XEQT.

I know that XEQT is already, in itself, diversified. But that just seems too good to be true! Again, I’m very new to this, so that’s likely why I can’t wrap my head around such a fantastic concept.. like, I ONLY need to buy XEQT? Sounds like a dream.

So, is there really nothing that I could pair XEQT with that would help me in the long run? I’m playing the retirement game here, so I don’t expect any “short squeezes” or whatnot. Just looking for something that can help me down the line.

But, if XEQT is really all I need, I’m happy with that too! I think part of my anxiety stems from the fact that all my money is in one basket… even though this basket consists of, like, a thousand other baskets. It’s just a mental block, I think.

Anyways, let me know! I’m very interested in learning more:) thank you in advance!

Please help a girl out🙏

I’m totally new to the world of investments, and all the information is quite daunting given I don’t yet understand much of this territory. For you more experienced investors, what advice would you give to an absolute beginner who is hoping to see long-term growth in her TFSA? What industries should I be looking at, which sources do you find helpful? Whether it be books, blogs, YouTube videos, anything, all suggestions are appreciated!

I’ve put a small amount of money into hydrogen so far, but I’ve been considering buying into some Canadian ETFs as well. Would this be a good move in the long run? Thank you all so much in advance, any pointers would help a ton!

Six months and I’m almost at 1000!

Started my channel, TheFrostedShrew, in January, and I’m pushing 1000 subscribers today! I’m feeling really geeked over this, because my goal for the YEAR was 100 subs! I just posted my eighth video the other day, and I’ve been so blown away by the support that I’ve received in such a small amount of time. I make commentary/reaction content, and I feel like I’m getting the groove of things now:)

Covetous (Original Artwork)

Screenshot from an animation I just finished up (posted to FIDOFILMSS on YT, Insta, and TT) that I am quite happy with:) I love playing with analog and uncanny themes, and have been working on a larger story and plot. I hope you enjoy, and please consider supporting me on other platforms if you want to see more!

New animation.. how are the vibes?

I’m currently working on a project, and am in the process of getting my plot together and ironing out the details. This character, BINGO, will be a prominent figure across the story. He is a “domestic”, which is a species I’ve been playing with:) You might be able to decipher what domestics are all about based off of this short.

I’m definitely newer to the world of analog horror, and I (admittedly) use the term as a broad descriptor to categorize the art and videos I make.. I just like the aesthetic and look of analog-style content, though my project might not be TRULY analog haha. Just wanted to put that out there so that you know I’m self aware!!

I hope you enjoy, and please check out my insta if you’d like to see more! I plan on posting more of my stuff to this community, as I’ve been stalking it for a while and I love the vibes:) Find me at FIDOFILMSS across all platforms🌹

DATA CENTRES NEAR YOU

Did you know about the 400 acre data proposed to be built near Beaumont? The proposed address is 24549 Township Rd, 502. That’s a bit close to home, no? Only 20 minutes from century park. And what’s more, is it’s just ONE of THREE centres proposed to be built in Edmonton’s IMMEDIATE VICINITY by the Beacon group. I’ve attached a map for your reference in the comments.

Since they are still in the proposal stage and have not been approved, I strongly suggest that we make our voices heard on this matter. Let them know that we don’t want this.

Noise and light pollution, Nitrous Oxide emissions, massive e-waste (lead, mercury, forever chemicals, etc) and the impact on our electric bills and water is a definite no-go for me, especially so close to us. Nevermind the fact that the Saunders location alone will take up 400 acres and has requested 300 000 gallons of water per day, from Leduc County.

I understand that data centres will inevitably be built (though I do not support them for obvious reasons) but a centre so close to us is just awful.

I’ve attached a link to contact the cabinet minister for technology and innovation in the comments ⬇️

As well as a flyer for an upcoming protest at the legislature.

MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.

Best starter lens for fx3?

I’m picking up an fx3 this week (first ever camera, I’m excited!) however I’m struggling with picking out a good starter lens.

For reference, I intend to use it for more creative and cinematic work (my insta is fidofilmss, to give you a better visual) and I’d like something that can make that a reality.

I’m hoping to find something for less than $1000, however I’m open to all suggestions as there are many secondhand lenses available online that I can turn to as well:) thank you!

I’m looking for the worst restaurants you’ve ever visited in the city- like, food that just ruined your whole vibe, food that you would only recommend to an ENEMY.

Bonus points if you can give me the exact dish that put you off😜

Any and all responses are much appreciated:)
