I’m 29F and have been consistent with my routine for months but haven’t seen much improvement. My main concerns are hormonal acne, uneven/dull skin and dark under-eyes.

I’ve used Differin 0.1% since March, usually moisturiser first, then Differin. Could buffering be reducing its effectiveness? My acne hasn’t improved much and has actually worsened recently.

I also use vitamin c serum every morning, followed by moisturiser & SPF, but haven’t noticed much improvement in brightness or discolouration??? I only recently realised the vitamin c should ideally be refrigerated. Mine has been at room temperature but is still pale idk

I’ve worn SPF daily for around 8–9 years.

I’m also considering GHK-Cu/copper peptides for texture, collagen and general skin quality, potentially replacing vitamin C rather than adding another active.

Would you keep this routine longer, apply Differin before moisturiser, or consider switching vitamin C for GHK-Cu? Has anyone used adapalene + GHK-Cu long term or noticed better results from copper peptides vs vitamin C?

Wanting to report messages from multiple members including admins, went through the messages that breaks discord’s TOS and then suddenly there was an error.

I did not receive any email from the discord team regarding the confirmation of my report.

I know a lot of people are getting banned on discord (there’s a subreddit for this) so just wondered if discord takes reporting seriously?

I’ve (29f) been trying really hard to make new friends this year, so I’ve been using this friendship app Cliq and going to friendship events. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just having terrible luck.

The latest one happened this weekend.

I met a girl through the app and, because we live close to each other, we travelled together to meet the rest of the group to an event. At first she seemed fine, but after about 20 minutes I realised every conversation revolved around her. It was Instagram, travel, her life, her stories. She barely asked me anything and seemed to dominate most of the group conversations and just came across so self absorbed.

Then we went for drinks. We’d all ordered, and I hadn’t even finished my glass of wine when she suddenly announced we were leaving. I said, “I’m not finished yet,” and instead of saying, “No worries, we’ll wait,” she just said I could get it in a takeaway cup. It just felt really inconsiderate.

After the event we were all going for food. She actually arrived late because she’d stayed behind at the event, so we’d waited for her. We’d already found a pizza place literally a couple of minutes away and everyone seemed happy with it. Then she suddenly changed the plan to a pub and said it was “the consensus” when I pushed back. even though there hadn’t really been any discussion. Everyone just went along with it.

We got there and almost all the vegetarian options were sold out, so I could barely eat anything.

None of these things on their own are a huge deal, but together it felt like she naturally expected everyone else to follow whatever she wanted. She didn’t seem to check in with anyone or ask what other people preferred. The whole evening felt very “me, me, me.”

By the end I was so annoyed that I got up, said there were no veggie options, called her a b**ch to a couple of people there, and left. Nobody there texted me after but whatever

The annoying thing is this isn’t even the first time.

A few weeks ago I met another girl from a different Cliq meetup. She seemed nice at first, but then she was rude to taxi drivers, grabbed my phone while I was booking an Uber and slammed it down, and generally gave me really bad vibes. I ended up blocking her afterwards because I just didn’t want to deal with her again. A few other weird instances with ghosting, feeling excluded.

TDLR:
At this point I’m starting to wonder if I’m somehow attracting these kinds of people, or if this is just the reality of friendship apps where you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your people.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with friendship apps? Am I expecting too much from people, or have I just been unlucky? I genuinely want to make friends, but I keep leaving these meetups feeling more drained than when I arrived.

Been taking rybelsus for 1.5 months (4mg) and dropped a few pounds and saw a big difference. I recently purchased Wegovy oral (also 4mg) and curious to know if Wegovy oral is more effective? My appetite has slightly creeped in over the past few days. Thanks
